Chapter 220 Big Brother’s Responsibility (Su Che, Su Shi)
By the time the convoy arrived in Xinping County, it was already afternoon.
Shilang Yuan couldn't sit still and anxiously went to see the land with his subordinates.
The messengers from Hubu and Sinong Temple had already arrived first with Pangpangmiao.
Where to choose the experimental field must first be discussed with county officials.
The imperial court had previously sent documents in advance, and the county had selected at least three places in advance, and Yuan Shilang and his subordinates decided where to locate them.
Now the people in Guannei Road have begun to rebuild after the disaster. Pangpang has not yet been cultivated and promoted here. The original cultivated land cannot be occupied and the people will not be willing.
Most of the places chosen are wasteland, but even if it is to open up wasteland, the site must be selected carefully.
Although Yuan Shilang was beaten by his wife on the way, he was still full of energy.
***
In the yard of his residence in Xinping County, Yuan Yuan was confronting his bad uncle He Fan with his arms crossed.
Behind her are the ferocious black wolf and the toothy tiger cub.
He Fan made a sound, first intimidated the black wolf with his eyes, then looked down at the cub with his peripheral vision, and finally looked at the cub expressionlessly.
Yuan Yuan saw that the guardians on the left and right behind her began to tremble. Knowing that she was weak, she quickly turned around and ran away.
Mrs. Ye was making beds for the father and daughter at this time, and she also taught her younger son: "At most, after the Chinese New Year, when Yuan Bao'er turns four, you, the father, can no longer sleep with the child."
Yuan Meng nodded perfunctorily.
When the time comes, let the cub cry and roll around with Grandma.
While the two were talking, Yuan Yuan ran in and hugged his father's leg.
"Dad, dad, dad, Uncle He Fan is bullying people!"
The old father bent down and picked her up. Before he could say anything, the good grandma asked first: "Why did I bully you?"
Yuan Yuan quickly stretched his neck and said seriously: "He looks at Xiao Hei like this... He looks at Erhuang like this, and he looks at Yuanyuan like this!!!"
The two round eyes sometimes looked down, sometimes looked to the right, and sometimes became cross-eyed, which made Mrs. Ye laugh so hard.
"You two, uncle and nephew, can't get along well and bicker and quarrel every day."
Yuan Yuan curled his fingers at her mysteriously, and Mrs. Ye moved closer in cooperation.
The little boy said matter-of-factly: "Grandma, Uncle He Fan, he talks bad about dad every day!"
Mrs. Ye raised her eyebrows: "So you just bullied me back?"
Yuan's filial daughter Yuan nodded proudly: "Yeah, yeah, yeah!"
Madam Ye touched her little head and lowered her voice and whispered: "Then your uncle can't beat you, so just say a few words."
He Fan's face darkened again when he walked to the door.
He couldn't stay in this house for a moment.
In the evening, Yuan Qing was going to roast the rabbit that Xiao Hei had found and make a braised chicken dish.
It's all meat and no vegetables.
She touched her chin and saw a basket of sweet potato stalks in the yard.
Well, we are all alive.
Mrs. Yuan and Mrs. Yuan were now the kitchen helpers. They saw the young lady instructing everyone to kill chickens and rabbits, skin and remove fur, wash and prepare vegetables, and even arrange the tableware in an orderly manner.
Mrs. Yuan Er was very envious of her sister-in-law: "I wish I had a well-behaved little lady."
It was a pity that she had not been pregnant for many years after giving birth to Yuan Li.
Mrs. Yuan was a little amused: "If you are as restless as Yuan Bao'er again, what will our family do?"
Mrs. Yuan Er also laughed.
"However, with the attitude of our eldest lady, Her Royal Highness the Queen was really trained as a female official."
Madam Yuan nodded: "Li Fengyu of Shangshi Bureau is already very old. Her Majesty the Queen wants her to be raised in the palace for a few more years. In a few years, Qing'er will take her place. "
Mrs. Yuan Er was shocked: "That's a fourth-grade official?!"
Mrs. Yuan nodded melancholy: "I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."
When it was time to eat, the prepared meals were carried to the dining room one by one.
Yuan Yuan and his brother Bingbing ran in with a "haha" smile.
Roasted rabbit, braised chicken, stir-fried sweet potato sticks, cold preserved eggs, and a bowl of noodles in sour soup per person.
The two little kids sat beside the table and sighed together from their souls: "Wow..."
Yuan Yuan said to Yuan Bing: "Brother Bingbing, can you eat preserved eggs and vegetables? Sister, eat rabbit!"
Yuan Bing was drooling. Hearing what the good sister said, he quickly shook his head: "Second sister, I want to eat rabbit too!!!"
Yuan Yuan hugged him: "Grandma said that the child wants to eat vegetables!!!"
Yuan Bing looked confused.
Mrs. Ye walked into the dining room and saw her grandson looking at her with a troubled expression, and then said loudly: "Grandma, can we cut our sleeves?"
Mrs. Ye's hands are a little itchy.
Yuan Yuan on the side looked at Ah Nai guiltily and slowly covered her chubby face.
Yuan Dalang picked up his youngest son and said seriously: "If I want to cut my grandma's sleeves with you, let's do it with your grandma first!"
Yuan Bing quickly looked at Aniang: "Aniang, Aniang, Aye is going to cut off Bingbing's sleeves!!!"
"I'm going to be Wei Aweng's son!!!"
That way he and his sworn brother Wei Xiaolang would never have to be separated again! ! !
Yuan Dalang had a dark face.
Mrs. Yuan glanced at her younger son in a funny way: "Wei Aweng is the same generation as your Aweng. If you become his son, won't you become brothers with your Aye?"
Yuan Bing looked at Yuan Dalang carefully, and for a long time, he reluctantly shouted: "Brother!!!"
Yuan Dalang was so angry that he picked up the evildoer on his lap and spanked his little butt several times.
Yuan Bing cried like a ghost and howled like a wolf.
Yuan Yuan covered her little buttocks and shrank beside her father in fear.
The old father stuffed a rabbit leg into her hand. The child Yuan Yuan was frightened and happily took a bite of the rabbit leg.
He Fan on the other side took advantage of her lack of concentration and stuffed a chopstick into her mouth with fried sweet potato sticks.
Yuan Yuan chewed for a long time, and it took him a long time to react, and looked at He Fan angrily: "Uncle He Fan is not good! I have already agreed with Bingbing that I will give him all the vegetables, and Yuan Yuan will eat the rabbit!!!"
After saying that, he found that everyone was looking at him and quickly hid the rabbit legs behind his back.
Seeing that his old father stopped beating him, Yuan Bing slipped off his legs, ran behind Yuan Yuan, took a bite of the rabbit leg from her hand.
The two little dumplings came together to nibble on the rabbit legs, both looking satisfied.
Yuan Dalang sighed: "Children are all debts!"
Mrs. Ye gave him a meaningful look: "It's just a matter of time until you understand this truth."
Yuan Dalang: "..."
Yuan Qing was a little funny: "Eat the noodles quickly, it's almost lumpy."
Mrs. Ye took several bites of the only vegetarian dish on the table: "Can this fat pole still be edible?"
"Don't tell me, it tastes really good."
Others gave it to you with chopsticks, and I tasted it with chopsticks. It was indeed tender, crisp, and delicious.
Mrs. Ye said to Yuan Qing: "It will be a good thing if I leave a few mouthfuls for you Aweng and let him go to Taoist memorial later."
Yuan Qing stopped her: "Grandma, let's try the fat leaves again to see how they taste. We will report them together then."
Mrs. Ye nodded: "That's fine."
He picked up another chopstick and looked at Yuan Qing lovingly: "Our eldest wife's cooking skills are as good as cooking shoe soles."
Yuan Yuan ran over anxiously: "No, no, no, no, you can't eat shoes!!!"
She lifted up little jiojio and showed it to everyone: "There are two yellow daddies on the shoes!!!"
The Yuan family all laughed, and Mrs. Ye teased her: "Bai Bai pulls daddy, and you still have to fight with it. Why don't you beat Erhuang for pulling daddy?"
Yuan Yuan took another bite of the leg, then looked at the sky sadly: "Mother does not think her son is ugly!!!"
Yuan Erlang looked surprised: "Oh, our Yuan Bao'er is still a good lady!"
The little kid smiled and narrowed his eyes: "I can even be a grandma!!!"
She ran around happily and almost tripped when she ran to Yuan Fang.
Yuan Dalang hugged her to prevent her from falling.
Yuan Yuan covered her mouth and whispered: "Brother is sleeping!"
It turned out that Yuan Fang, who had been silent all this time, had fallen asleep while sitting on the pillar of the room. His legs stretched out and he almost tripped the little kid.
Mrs. Ye said softly: "This child is too sensible for his young age. He never forgets to study on the road. He always runs at the front of any work. He is tired."
Yuan Dalang also lowered his voice: "I will take him back to his room to sleep."
After the eldest son is four or five years old, he is no longer allowed to be hugged. As a little person, he knows that he is the eldest grandson and the eldest brother in the family, and he always stands in front of his younger siblings with a calm look.
Yuan Dalang picked up his son and found that he was actually just a child.
Yuan Fang was in a dream at this time. In his dream, he came to a dynasty that he had never heard of in his classics and history class.
Great Song Dynasty.
Many people in later generations evaluated that dynasty as the weak Song Dynasty, but some people said that the culture of the Chinese nation reached its peak during the Zhao and Song Dynasties.
The protagonists of Yuan Fang's dream story are a pair of brothers.
younger brother Su Che, and older brother Su Shi.
The Su family in Meishan, with three Su families in one family, is famous all over the world.
Su Shi was the generation of literary giants with the highest attainments in poetry during the Northern Song Dynasty. His poems include both the desolation of "Ten years of life and death" and the heroism of "rocks piercing the sky, stormy waves crashing on the shore, and thousands of piles of snow rolled up."
Su Che also had extraordinary literary talent, and the fame of his brother Su Shi did not hide his talent.
He worked all the way from the official position to the prime minister, and spent his whole life being promoted and protecting his brother Su Shi.
Su Zhe is two years younger than his brother. The two brothers studied together and grew up together, and they have a very deep relationship.
Later, the two took the imperial examination together and passed the imperial examination, which caused a sensation in the capital.
In this imperial examination, the chief examiner was Ouyang Xiu, a leader in the literary world, and the junior examiner was Mei Yaochen, the "founder of Song poetry". The candidates in the same session also included Zeng Gong, a later literary great, the brothers Cheng Hao and Cheng Yi, the founders of Neo-Confucianism in the Northern Song Dynasty, and Zhang Zai wrote four sentences in Hengqu "To establish a heart for heaven and earth, and to establish people for livelihood".
The Su Shi brothers stood out among the talented men, succeeded in passing the imperial examination, and became officials in the same court.
A few years later, the two brothers took the academic examination arranged by the emperor, and Song Renzong spoke highly of them.
Later, affected by Wang Anshi's political reform, the two were demoted for opposing the reform. The close brothers could not see each other for several years since then.
Su Shi missed his younger brother, so he wrote "Shui Tiao Ge Tou" during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and wrote the famous line "I hope people will live long, and we can share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart."
Su Shi was free-spirited and free-spirited by nature. He was outspoken in official circles, which often put him in unfavorable situations.
During the Wutai Poetry Case, Su Shi was imprisoned and felt that his life was not long, so he wrote a farewell poem to Su Che. Su Che cried bitterly and took the initiative to write a letter of apology, willing to give up all official positions to vouch for his brother.
In the end, Su Shi was demoted to Huangzhou and Su Che was demoted to Junzhou and was not allowed to be promoted for five years. Su Che sold the gold and silver given by the emperor to allow Su Shi to travel around and taste delicious food from all over the world.
The two were thousands of miles apart, and Su Shi's letter to his brother expressed his longing for him, and Su Che had been doing his best to help his brother.
But it still didn't stop him from being demoted again.
When he was in his sixtieth year, Su Che sent Su Shi to work in Qiongzhou, and the two met for the last time in their lives.
But when Su Shi was finally pardoned, he died of illness on his way back north.
Su Shi, who had been indifferent and unrestrained throughout his life, left his last words before his death. He did not see his younger brother Su Che again before his death, which was extremely painful and embarrassing.
Su Che has been taking care of Su Shi's descendants since then, and before his death, he asked to be buried with his brother.
After his death, he was buried next to Su Shi's tomb in Xiaoemei Mountain. The two brothers, who had been homeless for half their lives, would never be separated again.
Su Che and Su Shi could not see each other for most of their lives, but the friendship between the brothers did not fade due to time and distance.
They have always been each other's closest relatives and confidants.
When people come into this world, they cannot choose their family background and blood relatives.
But precisely because of this, there is an endless bond.
Among thousands of people, being chosen to become a blood relative is the greatest fate given by God.
Yuan Fang woke up from his dream and found that he had burst into tears.
It turns out that this is the meaning of his birth.
He was born into the Yuan family and became the eldest brother. He was valued by his elders and loved by his younger siblings.
This is the fate given to him by God, and he needs to maintain it throughout his life.
Yuan Fang looked at his second brother who was sleeping peacefully on one side, and his younger brother who was sleeping with his arms stretched out on the other side.
The well-behaved second brother, the adventurous third brother, if nothing unexpected happens, will he worry about his little brother in the future?
No, no, there is someone in the family who is even more out-of-the-box.
The eldest sister is sensible. Yuan Fang thought of his lively and cute little sister, and thought that he really had to work hard to become a high official and protect the little sister who was ready to expose anyone who couldn't stand it.
Not only him, but his two younger brothers also had to work harder.
If nothing else goes wrong, in the next few decades, the three brothers will help each other, take care of their families together, and support the family.
The good eldest brother covered the second brother with a quilt, straightened the younger brother's body, sat on the edge of the bed, and sighed deeply.
But now the little sister has reached the seventh rank, but he is not old enough to take the scientific examination, let alone become an official.
How should he protect his sister?
At this time, a confused voice came from the side: "Brother, Yuan Baoer is not a seventh-rank official, she is a first-rank princess of the country..."
Yuan Fang: "..."
It turned out that he muttered it and woke up his second brother Yuan Li.
The two brothers stared at each other.
Yuan Fang thought to himself, his brother is so cute. If his little sister were here, he would definitely say loudly: "Big brother is so awesome!"
He patted Yuan Li on the head: "Go to sleep."
Yuan Li squinted his eyes, a little anxious: "Brother, this place is unfamiliar. Can you accompany me to the toilet?"
Yuan Bing at the end of the bed also woke up: "I want to pee too!!!"
Yuan Fang: "..."
He can't be this big brother for a day anymore!
