Chapter Thirty-Eight: Old General Xiao
One month?
Won't the time be too short?
The third brother didn't teach Mr. Teacher, and he was all self-taught, and it was only three months. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Yin Yaxuan looked at the book list and thought, "Even if the third brother doesn't get admitted this time, it doesn't matter, as long as the third brother is willing to study, he will definitely be able to be admitted next time." ”
On the second day, Yin Yaxuan went to the bookstore to buy books for Yin Mingzhao.
After buying the book, Yin Yaxuan was idle, so she walked casually on the street.
Suddenly, Yin Yaxuan was curious, so she stopped and looked.
It turned out to be a woman who was bullied in the street, and a good man rescued her.
"It's actually General Xiao, I didn't expect him to appear in Wancheng. One said.
Another person said: "Yes, I didn't expect that General Xiao would return to his hometown for many years, but his temperament has not changed at all. ”
"Just now, General Xiao rescued the woman, and taught the woman who molested the woman of a good family a good lesson, and it was really relieving to watch!"
Listening to people's discussions, Yin Yaxuan asked the people beside her, "May I ask if the old General Xiao you are talking about is the one who put down the rebellion in the south twenty years ago?"
The man looked at Yin Yaxuan and said, "Yes, who else can there be besides him?
Yin Yaxuan smiled and said, "Thank you for informing." ”
With that, he left.
She was a step late.
If she had come here sooner, she might have met his old man.
Maybe she had the opportunity to come to his old man's house and ask, "Grandpa Xiao, do you know why the eldest brother drew a charge on that ridiculous charge?"
General Xiao Lao is the mentor of the eldest brother, and twenty years ago, the eldest brother, who was only twelve years old, went to the battlefield with him.
The person that the eldest brother trusts the most, in addition to his family, is General Xiao.
Seven years ago, General Xiao returned to his hometown, and the emperor gave permission to him because of his old age.
When the Li family raided their home and was imprisoned, General Xiao rushed to Bianjing and asked the emperor to see his eldest brother.
The emperor agreed.
However, after General Xiao saw the eldest brother, the eldest brother drew a prisoner and confessed to the crime, and there was no possibility of overturning the Li family's charge of collaborating with the enemy and plotting rebellion.
What happened in that moment in prison?
"Miss?" Xi'er looked at Yin Yaxuan's dejected appearance, and called tentatively.
Yin Yaxuan came back to her senses, and her heart was stunned.
"Let's go, go home. ”
Back at Yin's mansion, Yin Yaxuan went straight to the third brother's room to deliver him a book, but there was no one when he arrived.
She asked a maid who was sweeping in the front yard, and said that the young master had gone to Aunt Zhao's room.
Yin Yaxuan went to Aunt Zhao's room to find him.
"Third brother, what's wrong?"
This was the first time she had come to Aunt Zhao's yard.
To her surprise, Aunt Zhao's room was so simple.
Anyway, she is also an aunt, why is the furnishings in the room not as good as a maid?
As soon as she entered the door, she saw Aunt Zhao's eyes red, wiping her tears, Yin Mingzhao sitting next to Aunt Zhao, her brows tightly locked, and her face was full of sadness.
Yin Mingzhao raised his head in question, found that it was Yin Yaxuan, and asked, "Why did the eighth sister come over?"
"I bought a book and came back, but I couldn't find you in your room, and I heard the maid say that you were here, so I came. ”
Looking at the scene of the mother and son, what happened?
"I've seen Miss Eight. Aunt Zhao wiped her tears and saluted Yin Yaxuan.
"My aunt is an elder, so I should salute you. Yin Yaxuan helped Aunt Zhao up, and asked, "What troubles did Auntie encounter?"
Aunt Zhao's eyes were wet again when she had just wiped away her tears, but she said it was fine.
Yin Yaxuan didn't force it when she couldn't ask, so she left the book, said a few words and left.
After she returned, she ordered someone to bring new tea sets, jewelry, and a few silk that she had originally kept to make clothes, and a few porcelain vases to send to Aunt Zhao.
Aunt Zhao's house was too shabby, so that her grandmother would know about it, so she would inevitably be angry again.
She went to the courtyard of the third sister and told Aunt Zhao about the situation.
Yin Yahui listened, sighed and said: "Aunt Zhao's situation is really not good, all the things in her room have been pawned by her to make up for her gambling brother." ”
It turned out that Aunt Zhao also had an elder brother, her brother liked to gamble, so she went to gamble a few times if she had nothing to do, Aunt Zhao was carried to her aunt, and after giving birth to a son, her status in the Yin Mansion was higher, and she had more money, so she subsidized the family from time to time.
A few years ago, her brother begged a daughter-in-law, and wanted to quit gambling and live a good life with his daughter-in-law and Lao Tzuniang, but he started gambling again in the past two years.
His old son couldn't persuade him, and his daughter-in-law couldn't take care of it, so he owed one gambling debt after another outside.
He remembered that there was a younger sister who was a concubine in the Yin family, so he asked Aunt Zhao for money from time to time.
Gradually, Aunt Zhao's net worth was given to her brother to pay off her gambling debts.
Today, Aunt Zhao went back to her parents' house and wanted to tell them about Yin Mingzhao's desire to participate in the imperial examination, but when she returned home, she found that her poor mother had cried and was blind because her brother was a gambler, and she couldn't take care of herself, so she was disgusted by her daughter-in-law and locked up in a pigsty.
Her useless brother doesn't care, as long as he has money to gamble.
Aunt Zhao is a filial person, her father died early, and the brothers and sisters were raised by their mothers, where could she let her mother suffer like this?
When she found a doctor for her mother, her brother said: "If you have the ability to find a doctor, simply, take the old lady to your house, and take care of it yourself if we don't take care of it, anyway, the Yin family has money, and there is a lot of food for our old lady." ”
Aunt Zhao's eyes immediately turned black with anger, and she almost fainted.
After returning to the house, Aunt Zhao found her son Yin Mingzhao and told her about it, although the mother and son were worried, but Aunt Zhao knew that she was the maid of the second lady, and it was the second lady who brought her identity to her aunt, and she always remembered the kindness of the second lady.
Yin Mingzhao was taught by Aunt Zhao from below that he must recognize the identity of his concubine, and he must not cross the third sister and the eighth sister because he is the only male in the second room.
Therefore, the mother and son did not dare to talk to the second master and the second lady about it.
After Yin Yaxuan figured out this matter, she sighed again and again in her heart.
One sighed that Aunt Zhao had a miserable background, the second sighed that Aunt Zhao was too careful, and the third sighed that Yin Mingzhao lacked a little bit of young master spirit.
This mother and son live so carefully, can they not be able to do it when they are all jackals, tigers and leopards?
That night, Yin Yaxuan told her mother about it, and her mother was also guilty that she and her father ignored Aunt Zhao, and the next day she took Aunt Zhao's old mother to Yin's mansion and lived with Aunt Zhao, which was also convenient for Aunt Zhao to fulfill her filial piety by her mother's side.
"Third brother, why are you so confused, we are a family, can't we help with this?"
After taking Aunt Zhao's old mother to the house, Yin Yaxuan found Yin Mingzhao.
Yin Mingzhao pursed his lips and kept rubbing his hands.
"It's still the eighth sister who is transparent, and the third brother is ashamed of himself. ”
Yin Yaxuan smiled and said, "We are brothers and sisters, don't be so polite in the future." If you really feel ashamed, hurry up and come back with a top prize. ”
