Chapter 50
Lizheng looked through the almanac and said that it was the eighth day of the seventh month, and it was appropriate to go to the grave and break the ground, so Song Wen decided that Song's mother and Song's father would be buried together today.
Before Song Wen entered Shaoyuan County, he bought the coffin before entering the county because he wanted to prevent him from bringing back the ashes of Song’s mother. , Put Song Mu's urn into the coffin.Then I bought an extra carriage and shipped it back together.
As for Song Yu's body, the woman said that after being thrown into a mass grave by her master, she escaped and collected it hastily.Song Wen planned to choose another day to go to the owner's house to buy Song Yu back, and then bring her bones back to the Song family's ancestral grave.
Gu Nian how much friendship the woman had with Song Yu during her lifetime, she also helped to collect Song Yu's body when she fled after death, Song Wen didn't feel too embarrassed and let her go.As for her taking advantage of Song Wen's name to eat up many families in the village, Song Wen also made up money, but it was impossible to help her redeem herself.
Song asked: "You let Song Yu down first, and you bullied the people of Pingxi Village later, no matter what, after the deeds are revealed, I will help you pay back what you owed to the villagers, so as to prevent you from being sent to an official by the villagers. Friendship with you. Let’s do it for ourselves in the future!”
The woman didn't bother, and simply left the village.
As for Shuan Zi, he just saw a woman hitting Song Yu's silver hairpin in the town, caught her, got some money, and threatened the woman to enter Song's house and give him a lot of money, so he committed perjury.
Shuanzi's elderly parents knelt in front of Lizheng and Song Wen and begged bitterly. The villagers had a headache, and they also helped to persuade Song Wenwen.
Song asked what he didn't do with him, but before Shuanzi could get any better, he asked Lizheng to take back the land that Shuanzi's family had put under his name.
At the beginning, Yuanshen was awarded Juren, and two hundred mu of land under his name was exempted from agricultural tax, which was distributed to various households in the village by Lizheng.Later, Yuan was all the way to high school, although others did not come back, but the exempted land was allotted, a total of one thousand mu.The entire Pingxi Village does not have so many fields. After the division, the whole village will be exempted from agricultural tax. The surrounding villages are usually jealous, but who makes the ancestral graves smoke, and a champion is born!
When Shuanzi's parents heard the news, they cried and dragged Shuanzi to the Song's house to beg, but they didn't go in, just kneeling and crying outside the Song's courtyard.Let Song Wen beat Shuanzi to death, but his family can't be exempted from agricultural tax.
It's a pity that their family cried for a long time, and many people gathered to watch the excitement, and there were people coming and going in the Song family's yard, and no one paid any attention to them.
Those who relied on their seniority to enter the courtyard to talk, Ah Da and Ah Er directly lit their knives, and the knives clanked.
The senior man was furious, saying that Song Wenkao had no money for the scholar, and the villagers pooled it together. Otherwise, there would be no Mr. Song and the number one scholar of Song today.
Ah Mian couldn't hear this, so she jumped out immediately, yelling and mocking: "I want you to know that in our Dali Dynasty, only [-] mu of land under the name of a scholar could be exempted from land tax. If you pay the money, the [-] acres The Song family didn’t keep a single mu of land, and gave it all to the village. After so many years, the agricultural tax exemption is enough money.”
Ah Mian stuck her waist in, saying that anyway, he is not from Pingxi Village, and his seniority cannot be relied on him, "Besides, it is said that the whole village has pooled money, and your family has contributed a few pennies, so you want to come to be Mr. Song The master? Exams were taken in the county, and the whole village only pooled two taels of silver. Not even the two taels of silver?!"
The more she talked, the more angry she became, thinking about Song Wen for a few days because Song Yu was unhappy, Amian stared and said: "I want you to know, you only said that you are kind to the young master, but the young master only took you when he was studying. Two taels of silver, now you have a thousand acres of land exempted from agricultural tax. His books were hunted by Mr. Song with his life, and the books sold by Miss Song's own money. If you really count, how many copper coins do you count? !"
After scolding people happily, they left as soon as the door of Amian's courtyard was closed, and shouted as they entered: "Master, if we move out of the village, there will be no one in the Song family in the left and right villages. How much money have we returned all these years?" Don't let them get used to it! "
The villagers didn't hear what Song asked in the room, but they were all frightened.They just watched the excitement, they really had no bad intentions, they thought there was nothing wrong with it, so forgive them if they forgive, this time they heard Ah Mian say this, they all blushed and dragged the Shuanzi family who relied on their seniority Leave, and then invite Li Zheng to come to the door and say, rest assured.
Song Wen ignored all these matters.
But Song Wen didn't ask the helpers in the village to break the ground for the Song family's ancestor's grave. Anyone who was in a hurry to help, a man named Xiao Lue drew his sword out of its sheath, and blocked it at the foot of the mountain.
There was only one urn in the coffin, which was very thin, so Ah Da and Ah Er carried it up the mountain.
The people in Pingxi Village gasped when they saw it, good guy, fortunately there was no real conflict because of the large number of people.If it falls into someone's hands, isn't that just carrying one in one hand and throwing it away for fun? !
The graves here are all made of stone slabs, and the location has been reserved in advance, as long as the stone slab door is opened, the coffin can be pushed in.Song Wen opened the door by himself and pushed Mother Song's coffin in.Serve the sacrifices with your own hands, light the incense candles, and burn the ghost papers one by one in a brazier.
The rest of the people solemnly burned three sticks of incense, and then went down the mountain.Only Song Wen and Xiao Lue were left behind.
In modern times, Song Wen helped his grandmother fold gold ingots with this paper. He was still very proficient at the moment, flipping back and forth with his fingers, and a gold ingot made of ghost paper was thrown into the brazier, and the fire swallowed it into ashes and sent it to the Give it to Song's father and Song's mother.
The Song family even lost Song Yu, and the whole family has gone.
Song Wen didn't know what to say, so he just burned the paper and promised that Song Yu would return to Song's ancestor's grave in the future.When he dies, he will also enter the grave of the Song family ancestors, and the borrowed body will be returned.
Afraid that Song Wen would be overly sad, Xiao took the initiative to ask Song Wen to teach him how to fold gold ingots: "I'll burn some for your parents too. After all, I am the blood of the royal family, and I am a general who came down from the battlefield. No one else dare Grab the gold ingots I burned, and your parents will have them all."
He wanted to tease Song Wen, but it was weird to say it seriously.Song Wen grinned at him, and quickly put it away to show that it was okay. He looked back at the tombstone and sighed, "It's a pity that Song Yu can't be brought back for the time being."
When Song Wen returned to his hometown, burying Song's mother was a great favor from the emperor. If he went to Song Yu again, the emperor in the capital would probably feel it. Song Wenyuan could receive a copy even in the village!
Xiao Lue sent someone to go on the road earlier, but he hasn't received them yet, so he is not going to speak first.He is used to things being settled, done, and just seeing it.As I said first, there are always variables, which make people feel ups and downs for no reason.
Song asked: "Song Yu and I are twins. My mother has a saying that if twins are a man and a woman, no matter whether the first one comes out is a man or a woman, the woman will always grow. There is no such saying here. Hours, My mother joked about it, but Song Yu took it to heart, she only thought of herself as an elder sister, and didn’t call me brother any more. She had a very good idea. My father is gone, and Song Yu supports himself in the fields. Said that my sister should do it. Later she sold it herself, and said that my sister should do it..."
Song Wen had never seen any sister who could do what Song Yu did.The Song family is full of families, and it ended up being the last, but the original body was the most cowardly, and actually asked for his own death.
But think about it, it's not difficult to understand for a number one scholar, three lives, and wanting to die!
Xiao Lue only hated himself for being stupid, he couldn't think of anything to say, so he just stretched out his hand and patted his head in relief.
Song Wen looked at him without avoiding his hand on his head, and said with a smile, "This time, I'm really alone!"
Xiao Lue was so distressed that he had no choice but to look back at Song Wen's eyes.
Suddenly got up, flipped the front of the robe, knelt down in front of the Song family ancestor's grave, raised his right hand high and gestured, and solemnly swore: "Today, on the eighth day of the seventh month, I, Xiao Lue, would like to enter the Song family..." He turned his head to look at Song Wen, Say softly, "You're not alone!"
Looking back at the grave of the Song family ancestors, there were three bangs of the head, and the forehead touched the ground. When I got up, there was still mud between the foreheads.
Song Wen looked up at Xiao Lue, the sun fell into his eyes, making people jealous, but there were two golden spots in his eyes, it was clear that his heart was turned upside down, but he just pretended to be cold, so as not to let his thoughts leak out Halfway said: "You have pity on me!"
Xiao slightly lowered his eyes, his eyelashes were long, his face was dark, and Song Wen was covered with gold, so he couldn't see clearly what his expression was at this moment.
Xiao slightly clicked his tongue suddenly, seeing that he was a soldier and ruffian, no longer the noble General Xiao, he took a step back on one leg, knelt down on one knee, leaned forward and stretched out his hand, Song Wen instinctively moved his face back, and said yes He wants to touch his face.
"Ah."
Xiao slightly laughed, and moved his hands directly to his shoulders, pinching Song Wen's shoulders, and actually knocked him to the ground, and he took advantage of the situation to bully him and put him on Song Wen's body.He acted unambiguously at all, as soon as he pressed on, he took off his clothes without unbuttoning them, like tearing paper with his hands, he took three swipes and two slaps to clean his head, and in a blink of an eye a naked Mr. Song appeared!
Song Wen tilted his head to look at the grave of the Song family ancestors, feeling ashamed, it's just that Xiao is silent, a ancestor of ghosts and gods is not in his eyes!But Xiao Lue is rare... ah...
Rejection is impossible! ! !
Song Wen could only hold back his embarrassment, and discussed with the ancestors in the Song family's grave in his heart: "I'm sorry, ancestors, as well as Song Father and Song Niang, the person who joined your Song family is too impatient! Hehehe! But Don't look at evil! Otherwise, stop eating the sacrifices and turn around!"
Consciously finished explaining, Song Wen turned his head to stare at Xiao Lue who had stopped moving, and raised his eyebrows to look at the person.
Xiao Lue suppressed the person, and took out a bunch of medicine bottles from his bosom, his eyes were very familiar, Song Wen used it on him in the yamen last time, this time he brought it himself, there are lubricating, wound healing, all Did not fall.
He was originally afraid that Song Wen would not return to Beijing if he returned to his hometown.So he brought all of them, thinking about what he had agreed at the beginning, and changing his resignation idea once, he brought enough before leaving Beijing, enough for once a day!
