Be a master through ancient times

As soon as Chu Ci got off the carriage, he was surrounded by everyone, who greeted him in a hurry.What's more, he knelt down on the spot and called out "Master Qingtian" or something like that.

Chu Ci couldn't laugh or cry at that time. He was promoted to be an academic officer, but he really had nothing to do with "Qingtian".But in the eyes of ordinary people, an official is an official, as long as it is an official, it can be called that.

While beckoning people to help those people up, he also took time to answer their questions, he was really too busy.

The person who came to rescue Chu Ci in the end was actually his uncle An Wencai, his face darkened, and he scolded the people who surrounded Chu Ci.As the saying goes, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one.Compared with the legendary high official Chu Ci, An Wencai, the steward of the county yamen, scares them more. This is the person who is closely related to their lives.

However, although the villagers did not dare to surround Chu Ci, their eyes were all on Chu Ci.Occasionally, if Chu Ci inadvertently looked at someone, it would immediately cause a commotion.

Sitting in the main room, Chu Ci couldn't help being a little embarrassed in the face of such a situation.After discovering that the few children who came back with him gathered together and covered their mouths and laughed at him, Chu Ci turned his head and abruptly changed the topic.

"Where did mother go? Why don't you see mother?"

Ordinarily, in the past, his mother was the first to rush out when she heard the news of his return.Could it be that he fell out of favor after adding two younger ones this year?

Chu Guang groaned, and patted his forehead: "I haven't told mother yet, your sister-in-law gave birth in the backyard, and mother is there too." After finishing speaking, he hurried to the backyard.

The backyard was some distance away from the front, and the noisy noise from the front yard could only be heard indistinctly, so Chu's mother and Shen Xiuniang didn't even know that Chuci had arrived.Originally, Chu Yun was supposed to report a letter in the past, but when she met Chu Ci, she only remembered to ask for warmth, and then she heard that Lu Jingshu was Chu Ci's adoptive daughter, so she went to greet the little girl, but she didn't remember the sister-in-law who was waiting in the backyard.

After a while, hurried footsteps were heard, accompanied by a series of "little two" sounds, a kind and gentle person appeared in the main room.

Chu Ci got up when he heard the voice, and when he was about to approach him, he pulled his robe and knelt down: "Mother, Ah Ci is back."

The old lady burst into tears, put her arms around Chuci and said: "Mother's little girl, why are you so cruel, you have been away for two or three years, and you won't come back to see me!"

Chu Ci endured the soreness in his heart and comforted him softly, and it took him a while to coax his mother.Compared with the shriveled old and thin image he saw when he first wore it, his mother looked younger after a few years.She was wearing muslin clothes embroidered with bouquets of flowers, her hair was combed meticulously, and she put it on top of her head in a bun with two hairpins inlaid with white pearls. She didn't look like an old lady born and raised in the village at all. Ma'am, judging from Chu Ci's profile that resembles hers, Mother Chu should have been a pretty woman when she was young.

The two hadn't chatted a few words before someone said that the auspicious time had come.Chu Guang started the banquet, and Chu's mother went back to hold the child.The people brought by Chu Ci sat at a table alone, but Chu Ci himself was pushed to the table where the respected elders in the village sat.

Not long after the cold dishes were served, Mother Chu and the old lady of the Shen family came out with a baby wrapped in swaddling clothes.The one wrapped in the red cloth is the boy, and the one wrapped in the green cloth is the girl.Both children were awake at this time, looking at everyone curiously with innocent eyes, their witty energy was indescribably gratifying.

The folks who came to drink saw the children, and took out the happy money they had prepared a long time ago and stuffed them on the tray.In order to win a good fortune, there are usually six or eight copper coins.The money will be donated to the master in the temple to give gruel.After finishing the work, I can get two peace talismans, which are recited by the masters who are profound in Buddhism. Every child here has them, and they don't take them off until they are seven or eight years old.

They circled around and finally came to Chu Ci's table. Chu Ci hurriedly poked his head to look, and found that the two children were actually identical twins. The two little faces were exactly the same. exactly the same.

"His uncle, these two children are already full moon. Have you already chosen your name? I heard from my uncle that you will pick up our baby's name." Mrs. Shen asked cautiously, with a frown on her face. With a flattering smile.

Chu Ci smiled at her, then looked at Chu's mother and Chu Guang, and said, "Mother, elder brother, I have already chosen the name, please listen to it. The eldest grandson of our family is Xiao Yuan, and the younger brother who follows naturally wants to From his name, so I named him the single word Xiao. Xiao, meaning soaring. I hope he will be free from restraint and act as he pleases in the future."

"The eldest granddaughter is Shanshan, so the younger sister in the back is called Yaoyao. Yao, the beauty of Yu, not only takes the name of Shanshan, but also means happy with her brother who was born in the same country. What do you think? "

"Chu Yuan, Chu Xiao, Chu Shanshan, Chu Yaoyao..." Everyone silently recited the names of Chu Ci, and they all felt very good, especially the meaning of Chu Ci's explanation, which contained good expectations. The love of the middle-aged and elders for the juniors can be reflected in the name.

…………

The hustle and bustle of the day had passed, and in the evening, after seeing off the last batch of guests, the Chu family could sit together and have a good chat.

"Mother, this is the adopted daughter I adopted in Southern Fujian. Her name is Lu Jingshu. She is seven years old this year. When I come back this time, I will not only provide the family tree for my nephew and niece, but also the family tree for Jingshu." Chu Ci led Lu Jingshu by the hand. hand, brought her to Mother Chu, and introduced her very formally.

Lu Jingshu was a little apprehensive, but she tried to calm herself down and saluted Chu's mother: "Granddaughter Jingshu, please greet grandma."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Mother Chu helped Lu Jingshu up, and looked at her carefully.Although she saw her during the day, she was busy with many things. Now that she saw her, she realized that this little girl was really handsome, but... the birthmark on her face was a bit of a pity.

Lu Jingshu let her look at her, feeling very calm in her heart.Usually when people call her ugly because of the birthmark on her face, she feels very inferior.But ever since she arrived at Chu Ci, she was no longer afraid of other people's eyes lingering on it.Dad told her that appearance is predetermined by the sky, since it cannot be changed, one must learn to accept it, and one should not be fooled by these external things, no matter how good-looking a person is, there will be a day when his appearance will age.

Mother Chu loved her even more when she saw that she was generous at such a young age.She took out a silver bracelet she had prepared in her arms and put it on Lu Jingshu's hand.

"Every child in our Chu family has one of these bracelets. You are the elder sister, so you should have one too. I heard that you like plum blossoms, so grandma chose this bracelet for you. Do you like it?"

Lu Jingshu's eyes were moist. She thought that other members of the Chu family would not accept her so easily. She had already convinced herself that no matter how cold-eyed she was, she could not give up.But when this recognition was easily obtained, she still couldn't avoid the excitement in her heart.

"Thank you grandma, I like it very much." Lu Jingshu threw herself into Chu's mother's arms.She herself had a grandmother herself, but in her memory, other than cursing and cold eyes, there was no other impression of that person.She had never asked for such a warm hug before.

After admitting his relatives, Chu Ci raised the question that has been bothering him today.

"I'm making full moon wine today, why haven't I seen my sister-in-law? But she's not feeling well?" As a younger brother-in-law, he couldn't visit his sister-in-law in the bedroom.

Chu Guang was a little embarrassed: "It's not uncomfortable, it's just that your sister-in-law gave birth to twins this time, and the midwife mother-in-law said that it is best to have a double confinement to make up for the shortfall. Your sister-in-law disagreed, but I and I Mother persuaded her, and she agreed."

Chu Ci suddenly realized: "So that's it. I remember that some of the things I brought back this time are aimed at women's body repair. Brother, you can show the doctor tomorrow and stew them for my sister-in-law."

Chu Guang nodded. He would definitely not be courteous to his younger brother when it came to the child's mother.Now that the life at home is better, I can confine myself to confinement.

He remembered that after Xiuniang gave birth to Xiaoyuan, she secretly followed them to snatch her up before confinement.That year it rained heavily and quickly, and when she came back she fell ill and broke her body.Originally thought that they would only have Xiaoyuan as a child in this life, but they didn't expect that they would become two good friends.
