The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 157 Family Heirloom

Back home, Han Qianluo found that her eldest brother was not at home again, and felt a little strange in her heart. Since Chunhua became pregnant, Han Qingquan was not at home every day, and never said where she went or what she did. Neither did Han Qianluo and the others. Know his whereabouts.

Han Qingquan didn't come back at noon, and he finally came back when the sun started to set in the afternoon. He was wearing white clothes very rarely.White is too easy to get dirty, and it is not easy to wash, so farmers like Han Qingquan always wear black clothes, so today's white clothes look very strange.

"Brother, this is the first time I've seen you wearing white clothes." Han Qianluo said in surprise.

Li Chunhua also said beside him, "That's right, I've never seen it before, and it looks really pretty."

Han Qingquan smiled and said, "Xiao Luo, come with me, I have something to tell you." After speaking, he turned around and walked out without looking back to see if Han Qianluo followed.

Han Qianluo was stunned for a moment, she was a little worried that her elder brother's behavior would make Li Chunhua feel that she didn't regard her as a family member, so she turned her head to look at her worriedly, and found that there was no anger or any bad expression on her face , just looked a little puzzled.

"Qianluo, hurry up." Li Chunhua waved his hand and said.

"Then I'll go out first." After Han Qianluo finished speaking, he went out, following the heels of his eldest brother.Han Qingquan's steps were heavy and he walked very fast. Han Qianluo sometimes had a hard time following all the way, and sometimes he even had to trot for a few steps to avoid losing track.

Han Qingquan kept walking forward without any intention of stopping, which made Han Qianluo very puzzled, and finally couldn't help asking: "Brother, what is it, and where are you going to talk about it?"

"It's right here." Han Qingquan stopped after finishing speaking.

At this time, Han Qianluo and the others were already a long way away from their yard, standing on the bank of the small river.At this time, the river is neither deep nor shallow, and the current is not urgent. It flows slowly, which makes people feel very calm.

"Brother, is there a time when you can't talk at home, and you have to travel so far away?" Han Qianluo asked with some doubts.

"There are some things I don't want Li Chunhua to know." Han Qingquan took out a square brand from his body, only half the size of a palm, and the whole body was silver, with some patterns on it. The uploaded one will be handed over to you for safekeeping in the future." After speaking, he handed it over.

"Why do you let me keep it, brother? You should keep this kind of thing. Besides, if I marry someone in the future, I won't be considered a member of the Han family. How can I keep this thing?" Han Qianluo waved his hand quickly, Did not take over.

Han Qingquan held Han Qianluo's hand, and stuffed the sign into her hand: "Even if you get married in the future, you are still a member of our family. Besides, this thing is not worth much, just listen to what dad said, you can rely on it." This brand finds our family's ancestral home."

"Didn't we live here all the time?" Han Qianluo was a little surprised, feeling that they moved here from other places.

Han Qingquan nodded and said: "I also heard from my father. I heard that one year old, a disaster happened. My great-grandfather escaped with my grandfather. I fled here and settled down here."

"From great-grandfather to now, at least six or seventy years?" Han Qianluo said after a rough calculation. She didn't have any feelings for the so-called ancestral home, so she said indifferently: "Didn't we live well here? Yes, there is no need to look for any ancestral home."

Han Qingquan didn't seem to have any intention of searching for his ancestral home, he just said, "Even if you don't look for it, you can keep it as a souvenir." He paused, then took out two bracelets from his body and handed them to her, saying, "This is As if it was left by Mother, you and Shui'er each have one, and you also take it together."

After Han Qianluo finished the bracelet, she realized that something was wrong. Han Qingquan's behavior seemed to be explaining the funeral, which made her feel very uneasy, so she quickly asked: "Brother, is something wrong?"

"What can I do? These things should have been given to you, but you were still young before, so I didn't give them to you. Now that you have grown up, I will naturally give them to you." Han Qingquan said, as usual look.

Han Qianluo still felt a little puzzled, but put the bracelet away anyway.Only then did Han Qingquan pat her on the shoulder and said, "Okay, let's go back." After speaking, he walked back, and stopped suddenly after walking a few steps, causing Han Qianluo to almost bump into him.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Han Qianluo felt a little strange.

"I met my little uncle today, and he took me to meet an official." Han Qingquan said.

Han Qianluo knew that the eldest brother must have something important to say when he proposed to bring up this matter, so he followed the words and asked, "What official?"

"It's Tai Le Ling from the palace. He hopes to buy a batch of paper from us." Han Qingquan said this with an excited smile on his face.

Han Qianluo is also very happy. Selling the goods to the royal family is a great good thing. Although there are some dangers, in general, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages. It would be even better if we can cooperate for a long time, so She quickly asked: "Brother, is this the only time they buy?"

Han Qingquan naturally knew what she wanted to ask, and said with a doting smile: "Even if it's just buying this time, it's very good, and it's a good thing for our shop, so don't be too greedy." Speaking of There was a pause here before continuing, "But it's too much to say, if our paper is useful, I will continue to buy it in the future."

"That's really great, but is Tai Leling the official in charge of rituals and music?" Han Qianluo reflexively asked his elder brother when he encountered something he didn't understand, without realizing that his elder brother was the same as her. Growing up in a farming family, it is unlikely that these things will be understood.

But Han Qingquan did understand this matter: "Yes, responsible for sacrifices, and other things that require music."

"Then what do they buy paper for?" Han Qianluo felt a little strange, shouldn't it be normal to buy musical instruments.

"Who knows, let's go back."

Back home, Han Qianluo found that the gate of his yard was open. Apart from Li Chunhua, there were two other people in the yard, a man and a woman, both about 30 years old, wearing clothes made of fine linen, watching Like a couple, she doesn't know these two people.

Li Chunhua was obviously relieved when they came back, and walked to the door and said, "Qianluo, you guys are back."

Han Qingquan obviously knew the two people in the yard, so he walked in directly: "Lord Lizheng, why are you free to come here today?"

Rizheng?Han Qianluo felt a little strange, this was obviously not Lizheng from Qianyangli, but what did Lizheng from other places come to his house, so she wanted to sit next to them and listen to their talk, but she was a little worried about doing so It wasn't very suitable, so I thought about it, took out the ones I picked from the field before, and sat on the stool next to me to start choosing vegetables.

"I heard that your family has something called a thresher, so I came here to see if it is really as good as they say, Qingquan, do you mind?" the man asked.

"It's nothing to worry about, but if you want to see the effect, you need rice ears." Han Qingquan said.

At this time, the woman who had been silent all this time quickly took off the cloth on the pannier she brought and said, "We have brought them all." "Then you come in with me." After speaking, Han Qingquan took the two of them out. Walked in the small courtyard behind.

Han Qianluo didn't follow in, but continued to sit there choosing dishes, and soon saw the three of them come back, the couple in Lizheng looked happy, and the woman said repeatedly: "That's great, Very good."

After sitting down again, the man said: "Qingquan, we want to buy one of this machine, but we are all from the village, can the price be cheaper?"

"Lord Lizheng, don't you understand what kind of people my sister and I are? Are we the kind of people who earn money from the folks?" Han Qingquan said, but he did not agree to lower the price.In the end, the couple ordered a threshing machine at the price of ten pennies, and then left.

The next morning, Han Qianluo went to the city as usual. When he went out, he found that his elder brother was arranging his clothes, so he asked casually, "Brother, are you going out again today?"

After Han Qingquan tidied up his clothes, he and Han Qianluo dug them away together: "Yes, little uncle has a friend who knows Tang Guanling, and I ask him to introduce him to me."

"Brother, what do you want to know about Tang Guanling?" Han Qianluo asked in confusion, even this official position was so strange, he didn't know what he did at all.

Han Qingquan didn't answer her directly, but said, "I'll tell you later."

After arriving at the gate of the city, Han Qianluo separated from her elder brother. First, she went to Zhao Tong's house to check, and found that Mrs. Zhao was not at home, but she didn't care. After all, no one never goes out, so she went to the back of the house to see Check the progress of the planter.

After leaving Zhao's house, she planned to go to the shop and then go shopping.The squares in Zhao Tong's area are relatively dilapidated, and the alleys between the squares are relatively narrow. In addition, the houses at this time were built relatively high, so the alleys in this area look very dark and cramped.

Such a small alley made Han Qianluo feel uncomfortable, so she walked much faster than usual, hoping to pass through this alley as soon as possible.However, these alleys are criss-crossing, somewhat complicated, and the speed cannot be fast.

When passing through an alley, she casually glanced into the alley, but saw a scene that surprised her.
