Farming Beneath the Changbai Mountains

In the 14th year of Tianshun's reign in the Qi Dynasty, in the capital, the residence of Lord Qingyue of Dali Temple.

"Madam, madam, the eldest young master is back." A girl quickly walked to the hostess's house in the backyard and said happily.

"Jun Hao is back? That's great. I was still thinking about it. He should be back in the next few days." When Jingya heard this, she said happily, "This kid has returned to Shuangdian County since the first month. It's been more than half a year, and I'm finally willing to come back. He has almost forgotten about me as a mother." His eldest son, Junhao, returned to his hometown to take the examination for children, but unexpectedly he passed the examination from the county examination to the college examination, and finally won the title of scholar. Someone had come back to deliver the letter a long time ago, and Jingya was also happy for her son.

"Madam, the old man and the old lady are also back together." The girl took a breath and said, perhaps because she was walking in a hurry.

"You damn girl, can't you finish your speech in one breath? The old man and the old lady are here. Why didn't you talk about such a big thing just now?" A big girl next to Jingya scolded.

"Okay, Linglong, stop talking about this and follow me to the front to greet the two old people." Jingya didn't have time to blame the little girl, so she quickly led the people in the room and hurried out to greet them. "By the way, hurry up and send someone to inform the master that the old master and the old lady are here. Also, ask Sister-in-law Liu to quickly lead people to clean the guest house and prepare a place for the old master and the old lady. In addition, hurry to Qi Mansion and take care of the big brother. The young lady and the second young master are both back."

The group of people walked slowly and closely and arrived outside the door of the mansion, just in time to see several carriages parked at the door. Jingya quickly led people to meet him, and saw a teenage boy jumping out of the first carriage. The boy turned around and helped an old lady get out. Naturally, there was a girl beside her to help support her, and the old lady got off the carriage.

When the old lady got off the carriage, the boy turned around and helped the people inside again, "Grandpa, please slow down, I will help you down."

"No, your grandpa and I are not that old yet." With that said, another old man came out.

Jingya hurriedly brought people forward to salute, "Father, mother, I don't know it's two old people who are here. My daughter-in-law couldn't greet them from far away. I hope my father and mother can forgive me."

"Okay, okay, Jingya, what are you doing? How can our family be so polite?" The ones who came were naturally Yue Pengcheng's parents. The old couple are both in their fifties, but they are still very strong. The spirit is also good. "We also suddenly became interested, so we came to the capital with Jun Hao. We failed to send you a message in advance, which made you embarrassed." The old lady smiled.

"What did mother say? We can't even invite you two elders. What kind of message are you sending? This is your home originally." Jingya stepped forward to support the old lady, Junhao supported the old man, and the group Go to the house.

"Well, I'm getting older and I just don't like to go out. I almost fell apart along the way." The old lady hit her waist with one hand and couldn't help complaining.

"Mom, the guest courtyard has been prepared. Your two elders have never come. The courtyard originally reserved for you is empty and no one lives in it. But it will be cleaned up tomorrow before you can move in." Jingya quickly explained. .

Since Pengcheng became the minister of Dali Temple, the emperor decreed that this house be given to him. At that time, Pengcheng sent someone back to his hometown to pick up his parents. However, Yue Siyuan and his wife refused to come. Pengcheng had no choice but to save the courtyard where they lived until later. It has been several years, and the yard has always been empty. Even if someone cleans it, it cannot be occupied for a while.

"Why bother? Just stay in the guest house. We don't plan to stay long. We just came to see you. We haven't seen Xiang Ning and Junliang for several years. As old people, we just miss the younger generation. After staying here for a few months, we will go back." Yue Siyuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need to clean up another place.

"Father, mother, you'd better stay. Pengcheng is now an official in the capital. I think there won't be any big changes in the future. If father and mother can't live with us, but are still in their hometown, what will happen in the future?" Those who are officials and censors are not allowed to read Pengcheng's book because they are said to be unfilial," Jingya advised softly.

"Let's talk about it later, let's stay here first." Yue Siyuan didn't say anything. He also understood what Jingya said. For the sake of his son, they should live here, but he really doesn't want to live in the capital for a long time, so his hometown is better.

Jingya settled down her parents-in-law, and then hurried to the kitchen. Maybe her eldest brother and the others would all be able to come to the dinner tonight, so they had to make good preparations. Everyone was busy and lively at night.

As soon as Pengcheng heard that his parents were coming, he couldn't sit still. At least he waited until he got to the Yamen and hurried back to his house on horseback. He actually sent someone to notify Yunfei and Wenhan, saying that they would bring their families over to have fun in the evening.

When I returned to the house, I didn't bother to wash up and change clothes, and went directly to the yard where my parents lived. Several girls and women were sitting in the yard chatting. When they saw Pengcheng coming, they all stood up quickly and said, "The master is back."

Pengcheng nodded, "Where are the madam, young master and young lady? Are they all inside?"

"Here I am, talking to the old man and the old lady." The little girl replied crisply.

Pengcheng stepped into the house and heard a burst of laughter and laughter in the house, which was quite lively. When I walked into the east room, I saw my daughter Xiang Ning nestled in her mother's arms, smiling so hard that her face turned red.

Pengcheng came to his parents in a few steps and said, "My son is unfilial and kowtows to his father and mother." After saying that, he knelt there and kowtowed to his elders.

"Okay, okay, you are so old, why do you have to do this? Get up quickly and let mother see what my son is like now." Mrs. Liu quickly asked Pengcheng to get up, took Pengcheng's hand, and asked him to go Come closer and look carefully.

When her father entered the room, Xiang Ning and others all stood up and stepped aside. When he saw his father standing up, he came over and saluted, "I've met daddy."

Pengcheng waved his hand, and several children stood aside.

"It's not bad. His appearance hasn't changed much, but he looks much more stable than before." Yue Siyuan stroked his beard and couldn't help but nodded and smiled.

"My son is already in his thirties. If he is not stable, wouldn't it be a joke?" Pengcheng also looked at his parents carefully. The two elderly people are not young anymore, and the mother is still a little better, with a slight frost on her temples. My father is much more powerful, and his hair is half gray. Over the years, my father has been busy with extra work, which is enough for him.

"Father, mother, now that we are back, let's stay here and not leave, right? Over the years, my son has not been able to fulfill his filial piety by his parents' side, and he has already regretted it. It's time for his son to fulfill his filial piety." Pengcheng felt that his eyes were a bit swollen. Feeling sad, his parents raised him, but he failed to serve the old man with all his heart.

"Yes, grandparents, please stay. We all miss our grandparents. If you two elders stay, we can do our best to show our filial piety." Xiang Ning led her younger brother Jun Liang to the side of her grandparents, coquettishly . After all, Jun Hao was too old to play such tricks anymore, so he just smiled and watched his younger brothers and sisters acting coquettishly. "Grandpa and grandma, please stay. My grandson has won the title of scholar, and he has to take the examination next. Don't grandparents want to see their grandson's title on the gold medal list with his own eyes?"

The old couple were coaxed by these children so that their faces burst into smiles, "Okay, okay, then stay, stay."
