Chapter five hundred and thirty third visiting relatives(2/2)
To be clear, she is a concubine. If she doesn't give her enough face, she might be criticized by someone behind her back. Maybe her family won't be able to hold their head high in the village, but if she takes her back in a big way, they can do their best.
Avoid this kind of talking behind your back, people will only envy you.
Just try to avoid it. You cannot look at the thoughts of small farmers with a normal mentality. If you can't eat the grapes, you will say the grapes are sour, envy, jealousy, hatred, etc. In short, you can't compliment them.
God knows what a bunch of ladies will say when they get together when they have nothing to do...
Yunjing also told his family about this matter, and received unanimous affirmation and support from them. They also asked him to be as high-profile as possible to help Bai Zhi grow a face, which made Yunjing dumbfounded.
He also tried to be as high-profile as possible. If he was really high-profile, he might scare the folks in Bai Zhi's hometown.
On the agreed date, Yunjing and his party set off from Niujiao Town in the morning and were about to arrive at their destination, Bai Zhi's hometown, three days later. Everything went smoothly on the way, without any accidents. Not even the little thieves who cut the path showed up.
It seems that this journey is a bit boring.
In the afternoon of that day, Yunjing and his party had arrived at the environment in Bai Zhi's memory. Everything around her was both familiar and unfamiliar to her. She was familiar because these pictures were in her memory, and strange because she hadn't seen them with her own eyes for a long time.
"Official, there are still about ten miles ahead to Baijiawan, where my home is located. Look over there, that stone has a scratch on it. It was left when I followed the master and left.
I was still very young and didn’t know when I would be able to return home. I was afraid I would never find my way home again, so I left traces like this in many places along the way. Have you seen that wild peach tree?
When I first went to the town, I picked peaches to eat there. I was very small at the time and couldn't reach them. They were thrown down by stones and they were all broken and sore. That time is the best in my memory.
This was the only time I went to the town at home. My family was poor and I was young. Going to the town was an eye-opener. In fact, in my memory, many girls in the village had never been to the town once until they got married. Even after they got married, many of them only stayed there all their lives.
Spend your life slowly in a small world..."
From afar, Bai Zhi began to tell Yun Jing about his past, just like when Yun Jing took her home, sharing every bit of their past.
Maybe it's the timidity of being close to home, maybe it's the uneasiness of a wanderer returning home. The closer she gets to Baijiawan, the more familiar scenes she sees in her memory. Bai Zhi's mood fluctuates greatly, and she is obviously suppressing her emotions.
Yunjing held her hand and said: "Everything in the past is yesterday's past. Life is always in the present. No matter what it was like in the past, it is getting better now. I am with you. In the future, you can go home and visit more when you have time."
Nodding lightly, Bai Zhi no longer cared about Song Yan, Liu Dazhuang and the others beside her. She leaned against Yunjing and said: "Over the years, home has been strange and intimate to me. I always want to be close to home, but I am afraid of being
My family has been hurt again. I also want to go home more often in the future as the official said, but it depends on what kind of attitude my family will have after returning home this time..."
Understanding her mood, Yun Jing comforted her: "We have to think on the bright side in everything. Home, there are relatives there whose blood is thicker than water. Their broken bones are still connected, and they are not inseparable from each other until death."
Enemies have roots only when they have a family. It's okay. The past is in the past. From now on, the family will love each other and be happy. Be more relaxed and don't regret it in the future because of some bad memories in the past. In fact, it doesn't matter if you think about it.
It’s a big deal, isn’t it?”
"Well, I'm not afraid of anything when the officials are here," Bai Zhi said softly. What she said was afraid was not about safety, but about her attitude towards her family.
Then Bai Zhi suddenly thought of something again, raised her head to look at Yun Jing and begged with a bit of entanglement: "Master, after we go back, if, I mean if, if my family does something to displease you,
If they act or say something that makes you uncomfortable, could you please be more tolerant for your identity? Don’t argue with them. Of course, the premise is that they don’t go too far, otherwise I..."
"Xiaobai, you don't need to say anything. I understand. My husband is not such a narrow-minded person." Yunjing interrupted her and said with a smile.
In response to this, Bai Zhi was moved but hesitated at the same time: "Guanren, you may also be curious about why I said such things. In fact, I don't want to do this, but because I know their character well. How should I say, as a child?
, I shouldn’t say bad things about my family, but you are my official, and I will stay with you forever. I don’t want you to be wronged. They are not bad at heart and have nothing to do with evil. They are just greedy for petty gains, and their words are a bit off.
Being sarcastic and mean, it is easy to offend others without even realizing it, and instead makes others feel that they are petty..."
Listening to Bai Zhi introducing her family, Yun Jing felt confused. How should I put it, the same rice feeds all kinds of people, and everyone's personality is different. This is normal. As long as they are not treacherous or evil, it's okay.
Big deal.
As he got closer to Baijiawan, Yunjing learned more about her family from Bai Zhi. In the end, he comforted her: "Those are your previous impressions. Maybe they have changed over the years?"
"I naturally hope that they will change, and that would be great, but it is true that a person's nature is easy to change but hard to change." Bai Zhi said melancholy. How easy is it to change a person's personality?
Gradually, the scene of Baijiawan came into view. It was just a small village with about ten or twenty households, surrounded by mountains and rivers. However, the conditions were not good at all. It was no different from other villages. The houses were low and dilapidated.
Most of them are thatched huts with earthen walls, which are definitely incomparable to the Xiaoxi Village where Yunjing's family is located. They are obviously still struggling to survive on the line of food and clothing.
In this situation, Yun Jing felt even more relieved when she thought of what Bai Zhi said about her family's character. It is not to mention that poor people come out of poor mountains and rivers. People are selfish. After all, life is not easy to live by, and they develop a selfish character.
Very normal.
At this time, Liu Dazhuang, who had been following all the way, shouldered his responsibility as a guard well and said, "Master, Madam, do you want us to go over in advance to inquire about the situation?"
"That's not necessary. Let's go directly there. Besides, if you break in rashly, you may disturb the peace here," Yun Jing shook his head and said.
He understood what Liu Dazhuang meant. What Liu Dazhuang actually wanted to say was to go to the branch to meet Bai Zhi's family in advance, so as to prepare for the reception. After all, Yunjing's current status was unusual for a country family, but Bai Zhi was by his side.
That's just putting it mildly.
Liu Dazhuang nodded when he heard this, but after thinking about it, he still looked at Ding Wei beside him to discuss: "Which of us will go around? In case something unexpected happens and disturbs the young master and the young lady's visit to relatives."
"I'll go, Brother Liu, stay with the young master and the others," Ding Wei said with a smile, and then left alone.
This is how wealthy people travel. Every time you go to a place, there must be certain procedures. Whether or not an accident will happen is one thing. There is nothing wrong with knowing the situation in advance and being prepared. It is always better than having an accident.
The rush afterwards.
With Yunjing's current situation, it can even be said that Yunjing can afford to travel for a large family no matter what. It can even be said that it can no longer be low-key. Even if Yunjing itself does not pay attention to this, Liu Dazhuang and the others have to fulfill their responsibilities.
