When they were in Yuezhou City, Zuo Yi followed them out and never left. He was like an invisible man and didn't speak. He ate and slept away from the large army.
Only Xu Wen, who knew what happened to him, often gave him food, and the relationship between the two was not bad.
"Uncle Zuo, what are your plans next? Will you stay in our Shuiluo Village or continue to go to Beijing to join your relatives?"
Xu Yunjin looked at Zuo Yi, who was three or four years older than himself in his previous life, and couldn't help but feel sad for him.
I heard Xu Wen say that he is only twenty-seven years old this year and has good academic performance. Because his parents died one after another and he was unable to take the imperial examination, he is a scholar at the age of twenty-seven, but he is the top criminal in their county.
Zuo Yi and his wife were childhood sweethearts. They had been married for many years and had nothing to do, and Zuo Yi did not dislike his wife.
Both of their parents have passed away. Zuo Yicai is thinking of going to Beijing to seek refuge with relatives, find a school to be a teacher, and then take the imperial examination next year. If he passes the exam, they will be able to live a stable life in the future.
As a result, the sky does not follow people's wishes, the hemp rope breaks at the thinnest points, and bad luck only seeks out the miserable people.
His wife was killed, and he knew that he could not take revenge by acting recklessly, so he had been waiting for Qi Kang to be alone one day before killing him.
Zuo Yi waited until he arrived. He wanted to die and go to be with his parents and wife, but unexpectedly he was saved by little girl Xu Yunjin.
At this time, Zuo Yi also looked at the little Xu Yunjin in front of him, lost in his own thoughts.
The first time he saw the little girl happily shopping with her family, the second time he saw the little girl appeared in front of him with a bruise on her face.
Not only was the little girl not afraid that he would kill someone, she also came up with a brilliant idea to get him off suspicion and then took him out of the city.
Along the way, he kept observing this little girl. If the child he and Hui Niang gave birth to had not died in infancy, he would definitely look like her. Suddenly, he didn't want to die.
"I want to stay here."
Perhaps because he hadn't spoken for a long time, Zuo Yi's voice sounded a little hoarse, but the meaning conveyed was very firm.
He wanted to stay here and watch this little girl grow up, get married and have children.
After he died, he told Hui Niang that our daughter was smart, kind and beautiful. She married a good family and had children. She would have endless glory and wealth in her life. He was going to share her daughter's growth with Hui Niang.
bit by bit.
"Okay, then tomorrow you will give your household registration to the village chief and ask him to register your household registration in Shuiluo Village for you."
Although Xu Yunjin was surprised that Zuo Yi wouldn't leave, he still respected his choice. Hey, maybe he could recuperate here.
Early the next morning, Xu Danian and Xu Wen drove an ox cart to the Yongding County Government Office to apply for household registration.
The household registration system of the Da Qi Dynasty was strict. For people with a background like theirs who left their hometown, the imperial court would change their household registration and household registration at the county government after settling the people.
The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and the county government office is about to be closed, so they have to get it done as soon as possible.
Before lunch time, the two came back, bringing with them each family's new household stickers and household registration. Xu Danian asked each family to keep their household registration stickers. In this dynasty, it is not so easy to give this thing to you if it is lost.
Reissued.
Five days later, rows of thatched houses were built in the open space of Shuiluo Village. They didn't look big, and they only had a place to sleep. A tent was set up outside the door for cooking and eating.
Tomorrow is New Year's Eve, and there are a lot of people celebrating the New Year with the Xu family this year.
Mr. Xu also called the two grandsons of the Chen family and three people from the Luo family to the Xu family for dinner. Together with Zuo Yi and Old Man Zhuang, there were originally eleven people in the Xu family. Adding these seven people, there were a total of eighteen people.
Xu Wen took Xu Yunqing and Xu Yunjin to Fucheng early in the morning. Today they will visit the Zhao family on behalf of the village, and then buy some things and ingredients for the New Year in Fucheng.
Xu Yunjin planned to cook by herself tomorrow. She originally wanted to buy books about cooking from the farm for Zhang and his family.
But many of the seasonings needed for those recipes were not available in this world, so Xu Yunjin gave up and decided to wait until the house was built before planning.
"Brother Xu, you've finally arrived. My nephew and girl Jin are here too. Come in, come in, it's very cold outside."
Zhao Jin stood at the door waiting for Xu Wen. When he saw the Xu Yunqing brother and sister in the car, they grinned widely. It was such a cold day that he thought Xu Wen was the only one coming.
"I brought my two children to Fucheng to buy some things. I stopped by to visit Mr. Zhao and gave Mr. Zhao some New Year's gifts. Here, this is for you."
Xu Wen picked up two boxes from the car. They were the pastries that Xu Yunjin took Zhang and the others to make last night. They were all made according to the methods of his previous life, which are absolutely not available in this world.
Xu Yunjin thought about it and felt that the gift was too little, so he spent more than 10,000 kilograms of grain from the farm to buy three medium-sized pearls.
One pink and two white pearls. Although the pearls are not big, they are of good quality without any flaws.
This New Year's gift is not much, but it is not cheap for a farmer's family. As for Zhao Ting and Zhao Jin, Xu Yunjin bought two cans of the best tea from the farm.
Walking into the gate of Zhao's house, Xu Yunjin sighed inwardly that it was indeed the residence of a high official.
The house covers a large area and should be a courtyard with four entrances. The decoration in the courtyard is not very luxurious, but it shows the elegance of a wealthy family everywhere.
The well-trained servants would lower their faces and salute when they passed by, which made Xu Yunjin a little uncomfortable.
After walking for nearly ten minutes to the place where guests were received in the inner courtyard, Xu Yunjin couldn't help but be speechless.
No wonder a wealthy family has so many servants. Just cleaning is exhausting. The four of them entered the hall.
"Brother, Brother Xu and his two nieces and nephews are here."
Before Xu Wen and the others entered the room, Zhao Jin ran in and shouted to Zhao Ting.
Xu Wen shook his head, why is this Zhao Jin, the father of two children, still so unstable?
"Student, civilian girl has met Mr. Zhao."
Xu Wen and Xu Yunjin saluted Zhao Ting.
"From now on, you don't need to be polite at home. Since A Jin calls you Big Brother, I will support you. From now on, in places where no one is around, you can call me Big Brother Zhao. The children will call me Uncle Zhao.
This is my wife, Youshi. These are my second son Zhao Shuming and my youngest son Zhao Shuheng. My eldest son serves my father in Kyoto for me."
"Then it's better for students to be respectful than to obey orders. Xu Wen has met Mrs. Sister-in-law."
Brother and sister Xu Yunjin remained silent and stood quietly aside. After hearing Zhao Ting's words, they also saluted You.
"I've met Aunt You, the second young master, and the third young master."
Youshi felt happy when she saw Xu Yunjin, who had a round face, two buns tied with two red ribbons, and was wearing a new light yellow dress.
She doesn't have a daughter herself, but usually likes other people's little girls. When she sees the cute and well-behaved Xu Yunjin, she pulls them over.
"Brother Xu, your daughter is really cute. Looking at her round face makes people want to take a bite. She looks like a lucky girl.
"Tui'er, go and get the beads and flowers I got from the silver shop two days ago. Those little baubles should be given to good-looking little girls so they won't be wasted."
You came from a family of military generals, so he spoke and acted with a touch of neatness, and his smile was not like that of the Xu family, which made Xu Yunjin not disgusted.
"Hey, sister-in-law, when I see the cute and well-behaved girl Jin, I can't bear to let go. At least you let me and Ah Jin have a sweet kiss. My relationship with Ah Jin is deeper than hers with you."
Mrs. Xu teased from the side and said, Zhao Shuqin is still as dignified and quiet as before, but with a smile on his face. She also misses sister Yunjin, she hasn't seen her for several days, and the same goes for sisters Jiulan and Yunmeng.
