With a smile, Liu Xian said to Wang Tianwen, "brother Tianwen, this way, please. I''ll take you to my house. It''s a humble house. Please don''t give up my brother Tianwen."
Wang Tianwen didn''t think much and followed Liu Xian.
Along the way, Wang Tianwen saw a large number of thatched cottages. The villagers in Liujia village were yellow and skinny. It seems that even in the immortal cultivation world of the Central Plains, the life of the people at the bottom was not easy.
After a cup of tea, Liu Xian stopped and was stunned.
"Brother Liu Xian, is this what you call your humble home?"
Wang Tianwen looks strange. In front of them, there is a manor which covers an area of 56 mu.
Red bricks and green tiles, two huge stone lions at the door, two big and round servants standing at the door, looking proud.
There is a clear contrast between the manor and the humble thatched cottage, and between the porters and the Yellow skinned villagers.
Liu Xian''s face turned red. He didn''t go home for only a few years, and his family changed a lot.
At this time, a tall middle-aged man and a plump middle-aged woman came out from inside.
"Eh, fourth brother, you are back at last!"
The middle-aged man saw Liu Xian with a happy face.
He is Liu Hu, the second brother of Liu Xian. Liu Hu strongly supports Liu Xian''s study and quarrels with his wife all the time.
"Second brother, what''s the matter? Is this our home? "
Liu Xian some can''t believe of ask a way, the change of the home is too big!
"This is your house. Your sister-in-law and I have come back to see our parents. We have separated. My house is not far away."
"When the fourth uncle comes back, he is still promising. When he becomes an official in the future, don''t forget me and your second brother. We live frugally and study for you. With the blessing of our ancestors, you finally come out."
The middle-aged woman said with a flattering smile.
"When your second sister-in-law was still making trouble with me, I said it! The fourth younger brother is Wenqu star. Our old Liu''s grave is smoking. You haven''t come back for a long time. Your parents miss you very much. Come in with me quickly! "
Liu Hu and the middle-aged woman take Liu Xian and go in. Wang Tianwen follows them.
Liu Xian hasn''t responded yet. He hasn''t come back for several years. Great changes have taken place in his family.
Before long, Liu Xian met his parents. They were all dressed in silk and satin, and their faces were ruddy. There was a clear contrast with the yellow and thin villagers in Liujia village.
"Xian''er, you''ve finally come back. That''s great. Second, call your brothers and sisters here. Let''s get together."
"Father, mother, what''s the matter? I haven''t come back for a few years. How did our family become so rich? "
Liu''s father laughed and told the story again.
After Liu Xian became a student of Yingtian academy, Li Yuanwai immediately gave his family more than 50 mu of land. Song Yuanwai helped build the manor, sun Yuanwai gave furniture, Chen Yuanwai gave rice, and even the county magistrate sent someone to send 100 Liang silver.
As we all know, the students of Yingtian academy come out to be officials, at least a county magistrate. Liu Xian''s future is limitless.
In addition to the rich merchants scrambling to deliver things, Liu Xian''s family has many relatives, some of whom borrow money. At first, Liu was not used to friendship, but with the passage of time, they gradually adapted to this kind of life.
Father Liu has four sons and two daughters. His daughter has been married. Liu Xian is the most promising son.
Liu Xin, the third uncle of Liu Xian, is also valued by the shopkeeper because of Liu Xian.
"Father, mother, how can you accept other people''s things? What can we take back?"
Liu Xian frowned and said that he wanted to attack those rich businessmen and powerful people! In the twinkling of an eye, his family became the target of his attack.
How does that make him write the game theory? How to face classmates?
"Fourth uncle, look at what you say. We don''t steal or rob. They give it to us voluntarily. Why don''t we? Father and mother have worked hard for this family for most of their lives. Shouldn''t they have a better life? Should they eat bran food? "
The middle-aged woman said sour, with a trace of dissatisfaction.
"I don''t mean that. We don''t earn it. How can we accept it?"
"Fourth brother, you''re not right. Councillor Li has a kind intention. You can''t let people take things back! Besides, parents are very old. Do you want them to work in the fields? And your nieces and nephews, do they have to be hungry often in the future? When you become an official, there will be more people to honor you. What''s the matter with us? Don''t forget, we haven''t let you do any work. Your sister-in-law and mother do the laundry and cooking. My elder brother, I, my third brother and father go to the fields. You just need to study in the house. We work in the fields. Now that you are promising, we can''t touch the light? Shall we suffer from hunger? "
Liu Hu complained that, in his opinion, reading is for being an official, so you can eat well and dress well. If you are an official, who will be an official!
He had just had a good life for a few years, so naturally he didn''t want to go back to the hard life.After hearing this, Liu XianMei frowned. Suddenly he thought of something. He pointed to Wang Tianwen beside him and said, "father, mother, this astronomy brother, he is my classmate. Like me, he studies in Yingtian Academy."
"Wang Tianwen met uncle Liu and Aunt Liu in his late life."
Wang Tianwen saluted Liu''s father and mother and said politely.
Learning that Wang Tianwen was a student of Yingtian academy, they did not dare to neglect him.
"It turned out to be xian''er''s classmate. He stayed here for a few more days and took it as his home."
Wang Tianwen agreed with a smile. Through the changes in the living conditions of Liu Xian''s family, we can see how much scholars were valued in the Dayan Dynasty.
That night, Liu''s house was very busy. When he learned that Liu Xian had come back, rich businessmen, in laws and old friends came to visit him one after another. The Liu family had a big banquet for three days and three nights.
At first, Liu Xian didn''t get used to it, but listening to the praise of his old friends and relatives, he was a little bit elated. Wang Tianwen sat aside, watching Liu Xian and his old friends and relatives push cups and change cups, and shook his head.
It seems that Liu Xian frankly accepted all this, but Wang Tianwen didn''t look down on Liu Xian. Everyone''s growth environment is different, and they make different choices.
If everyone is the same, the world is boring.
The life Liu Xian is living now is easy for Wang Tianwen to get. Wang Tianwen is not envious, but just a spectator.
Three days later, Liu Xian and Wang Tianwen were drinking tea and chatting in the stone pavilion.
"Brother astronomy, do you think I''m a hypocrite? Say one thing and do another? " Liu Xian hesitated and asked nervously.
Liu''s father fully supported him in his study. His neighbors laughed at him and raised a waste. Liu Xian finally got through it. His family lived a happy life because of themselves, which made Liu Xian feel very proud.
The funny thing is that he wanted to write an article about farming before, criticizing that the rich and powerful occupy a lot of land, and the ordinary people have no land to cultivate. But now, his family has become a rich man, and he can''t write at all.
His brothers and sisters also have a lot of fields, all of which add up to more than 100 mu, which he did not dare to think of before.
In fact, he also wanted to return the things. The house, furniture and clothes were OK. He said, food! In recent years, Liu Xian''s parents and brothers and sisters have been taking good medicine. How can they pay back? Where did he get the money back?
As soon as he mentioned returning things, his sisters in law would cry, make trouble and hang themselves. They scolded Liu Xian for having no conscience, and their parents didn''t want to return them. They finally had a good life for several years. Who would like to live a miserable life.
