Volume 3: Thousands of miles to help, it's really not for the sake of going to bed 6, grandchildren
Uncle Geng has been "raising his eyebrows" in the workshop recently.
The neighbors all know that Uncle Geng's daughter-in-law died of illness very early, and he didn't have time to leave him a son and a half daughter, and Uncle Geng didn't continue the string, one is because he is poor and doesn't want to harm others, and the other is that he always forgets his original match, so he has no support for him, and it is very pitiful to be alone.
Unexpectedly, a distant niece and granddaughter suddenly came to Yongling to defect, which made the uncle who had been lonely for most of his life smile all day long, happier than picking up money, and had a kind face to everyone.
The neighbors all know that Uncle Geng has a straight temper and does not smile, and it is already a "gift" not to give you a cold face, since the arrival of his niece and granddaughter Yue'er, it seems to be a different person, which makes it difficult for people to adapt.
However, this is always a good thing for an old man, and the neighbors are happy for him for decades.
On this day, after Uncle Geng got up and washed, he went to the market early, sold a few taels of rice wine, bought half a slice of roast chicken and a few taels of pig's head meat, and went to Xu Ji to buy a good pastry, and then hummed a little song and walked home.
Uncle's home is located in an old residential area near the gate of Yongle Fangfang, which is a "bucket-style" house.
The so-called bucket is to use the fang to connect the rows of pillars into a row of frames, usually herringbone, and the top cover is covered with planks and tiles, which is the house structure of the bucket type.
The so-called merging house, is the master bedroom, wing room and the house and the house in a room, compared with the courtyard of the rich, the first house of the powerful, the palace of the royal family, the structure of the house occupies a narrow area, the consumption of materials is saved, it can be called "good quality and low price", most of the houses in Yongling City, are this style.
The door of the uncle's house is a two-entry courtyard, the main family is called Gongsun Auntie, is an unreasonable three-point, unforgiving old woman, more uncle temper is upright and tough, look at her is the most eye-catching, the two often quarrel over a little thing, the neighbors persuade annoyance.
Uncle Geng happened to walk to the door of the house, but unexpectedly, the door of the opposite courtyard suddenly opened, and Aunt Gongsun carried a basin of water, which happened to be splashed outside.
Although it didn't splash Uncle Geng, it splashed his trouser tube, and Uncle Geng's temper came as he said it, and he turned around and looked at each other angrily, but when he thought of his little granddaughter waiting at home, his anger disappeared like snow, and he only said: "You woman, be careful." ”
"Hey, the sun is coming out in the west today. "This Gongsun Auntie is full of blessings, the clothes are not bad, one hand is cross-shouldering the basin, the other hand is cross-legged, "this fight is not a tantrum, it is really growing, do you want to beat the gong and drum, tell the neighbors, there is no need to persuade the fight in the future, the world is peaceful, every household comes to beat the gong and drum and hang the cannon......"
Unexpectedly, before the provocative words were finished, Uncle Geng turned around and was about to enter the house.
Aunt Gongsun was stunned, and hurriedly shouted: "Hey, hey, who's that, you wait a while, you wait a while......"
"What are you doing?" said Uncle Geng, turning to glare at her impatiently.
Aunt Gongsun said: "I heard that there is a relative in your family, yesterday you took her out on the street, I can see it, she looks very smart, many people have taken a fancy to it, and want to climb a family with you...... By the way, there is also Li Fangzheng's son. With that, he went back to the house.
This remark is very meaningful.
Uncle Geng was shocked when he heard it, and other families also gave it back, this Li Fangzheng's son is a well-known little bully in the workshop, and he is extremely lustful, and he provokes the eldest daughter-in-law and the little girl in three days, and no one can control him.
It is said that when his wife was alive, she used to be the nurse of the first emperor Ji Wenyuan, and his younger brother is now the chief housekeeper of Shangshu Ling Ye Shitian Ye Mansion, so in Yongle Fang, no one dares to provoke Li Fangzheng's family, and if he is wronged, he can only knock out his teeth and swallow blood, and endure the calm for a while.
Uncle Geng was worried, and he regretted taking the baby out on the street.
But after thinking about it, this old lady has nothing to do all day long, it must be alarmist, and the baby is still so young, even if she wants to "propose", it will take a few years, and it is a big deal to move away with the baby before that.
Thinking of this, his heart let go, pushed the door into the house, and saw that Yue'er was sprinkling and sweeping, and he couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart. Since the death of my daughter-in-law, my own home, for decades, has been cleaned with my fingers, and it is as dirty as a coal kiln.
The little girl was diligent and hardworking, and within four days of coming, the house was neat and orderly, and it was like a new look.
Uncle Ge was very grateful to God for giving him such a treasure when he was old, and the old tears were about to pour out, so he hurriedly cleaned up his mood and secretly vowed to protect her.
Yue'er heard the sound of pushing the door and saw that it was Uncle Geng, so she smiled sweetly: "Grandpa." ”
She is naturally the lucky one who escaped from the ghost cave of Black Mountain. is only ten years old, but has repeatedly suffered the doom of the destruction of the family and the tragic death of relatives, Lin Miaoyue and others are undoubtedly second only to her parents in her mind, in order to keep her alive, she was killed in the ghost cave of Montenegro, the hell that caused her nightmares again and again.
There was a secret of Montenegro hidden in her arms, but she didn't dare to hand it over to her uncle. seems to grow up overnight, although innocence and innocence have not disappeared because of this, but let her understand what it means to "conceive a sin". Uncle is just a very ordinary mortal, obviously not enough to bear this secret, and maybe he will be killed.
Therefore, she concealed the matter about Montenegro, and only said that her parents took her to join her relatives, but her relatives were not there, so she had to go home, but she encountered robbers again, her parents were killed, and she fell into the river, and was finally rescued by her uncle.
Uncle was old and childless, so he immediately decided to adopt this orphan girl.
After all, Yue'er is still young and has no idea, who knows that she is living here, in fact, it is not particularly secretive, as long as someone has a little effort, she can find clues, and she really doesn't know where to go, so she didn't think much about it, so she responded to the situation.
"Hey!" Uncle Geng responded happily, and put the things he was carrying on the table with a smile, "Look, baby, Grandpa brought something back for you." ”
"Wow! Yue'er put down the broom and put things aside one by one with her hands and feet.
Uncle Ji opened Xu Ji's dim sum, took a piece of mung bean cake, and handed it to Yue'er with a smile: "Baby, this is our Yongle Fang Xu Ji's pastry, grandpa specially bought it for you, come and taste it." ”
Yue'er happily took it and took a bite, only to feel that the fragrance of mung beans was connected between her mouth and nose, back and forth, her taste buds seemed to melt, and she was about to faint with happiness, but when she thought that Sister Miaoyue would never be able to eat such a delicious snack again, tears fell involuntarily.
When Uncle Ji saw it, he immediately panicked: "What's wrong with the baby? Isn't it delicious? Is it rancid? Then Xu Ji dares to sell me with the rancid, Lao Tzu will settle accounts with them!"
His old man was resolute, grabbed the bag of pastries, and was about to go out.
Yue'er was shocked, and hurriedly pressed Uncle Geng and said, "That's not the case, Grandpa, this snack is so delicious, Yue'er just remembered...... Daddy and Auntie, it makes me sad to think that they will never be able to eat such delicious snacks again. ”
"Poor child. Uncle Ge touched her head lovingly, "Don't be sad, even if Grandpa starves to death, he will raise you as an adult." ”
"Grandpa, you are so good to Yue'er. Yue'er said with tears in her eyes, "Yue'er is willing to serve you for the rest of her life." ”
"When Yue'er grows up, but if you want to get married, Grandpa will find you a good family business......"
Uncle Yue took Yue'er's hand and came to the bed, lifted the dark compartment under the pillow, took out a small box, and opened it to some old jewelry.
He touched the jewelry as if he was remembrance, and said with a smile: "Your grandmother died very early, these are left by her, I have always been reluctant to sell, just to give you a dowry." ”
"Grandpa......" Yue'er was so moved that she threw herself into his arms and cried.
But while she was moved, the little girl found one thing in her heart, that is, can she really escape the tracking of the ghost cave of Montenegro?
I didn't think much about it at first, but I think too much about it these days, so I am naturally very worried.
Grandpa's kindness to her made her unbearable to hurt him, so she decided to secretly leave this house tonight, so as not to cause trouble to Grandpa.
......
Li Fang is called Li Tianshou, because of the rich family when he was young, excessive indulgence led to physical weakness and lack of energy, and he has not been able to get pregnant after becoming a family, but at the age of forty, the old mussel gave birth to pearls, and the newly married concubine gave birth to a big fat boy for him, so he was ecstatic, and he loved this only son very much, and he couldn't wait to pick the moon in the sky to him as a toy.
The only son's name is Li Ruifu, who has the meaning of "auspicious from heaven, rich and noble", under his pampering, he has been a demon king of the world since he was a child, and the neighbors all took a detour when they saw him; and what made him both relieved and helpless was that Li Ruifu inherited his endowment, lustful as life, and was only fifteen years old this year, so he quarreled with himself to buy a maid in the house.
Maids are very popular among rich households, most of them are children of poor families, because they cannot afford to support them, or give them away or sell them to large households, although they are suspected of slave trade, but there are many cases, how can I manage them? I can't afford to raise my children, and the government can do it for me? Therefore, this kind of affairs cannot be managed, and the government can only turn a blind eye to this.
Li Tianshou is such a son, can he not agree? Who knew that Li Ruifu didn't want it from other families, so he named one of them, and asked someone to inquire, it turned out to be a poor girl who had recently defected to the old husband in the workshop, and I heard that she really looked very aura, no wonder her own son fell in love with her.
However, he also heard that the old husband took care of the girl as a baby, and he knew that it was impossible to sell it to his own family, so he wanted to coax Li Ruifu to change his goal, but Li Ruifu just admitted that the girl was dead, but he refused to compromise and made trouble all day long.
Li Tianshou was reluctant to scold, and in desperation, he could only pass the book to his younger brother, who was a big steward in Ye Mansion, and begged him to give him advice.
Li Tianshou's younger brother is called Li Tianyang, who is worthy of being the steward in the big portal, who has experienced ups and downs, and quickly replied to his brother and came up with a clever plan.
After Li Tianshou read the reply, he applauded loudly, and took his son and two Wuhou to Uncle Geng's house at noon on the same day.
