Chapter 268: Lay it down
Uncle is here, and the New Year is coming soon, so he has time to accompany Jin Lian and them, and the family celebrates the Spring Festival happily. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info He knew that Wu Song had moved away, and Jin Lian had a serious illness and recovered without medicine, as if he had known this result, he didn't have a surprised expression, just accompanied Jin Lian to the street to buy New Year's goods.
Uncle asked Jin Lian, "Did you tell Wu Song?"
Pan Jinlian nodded, and his uncle said: "I know that you will still be unable to speak out in the end; this is fine, the long pain is better than the short pain, Wu Song has moved out, there are fewer opportunities for you to meet, and the feelings will slowly become indifferent, it is a good thing for you and him, this result is actually good, although Wu Song is a martial artist, but he is very smart, meticulous in doing things, and will consider the consequences, he is really good at dealing with it." After a long time, you have also figured it out, the relationship between men and women is replaced by family affection, but it will not be painful. ”
Jin Lian asked her uncle: "What did you think when your grandfather decided not to let you marry my mother, did you not have a little resentment and obey your grandfather?"
Uncle sighed: "At that time, I was young, and I didn't want to do anything, how could I have such an open mind? At the beginning, I did resent your grandfather, thinking that he hated the poor and loved the rich, and wanted to break us up, ignoring the happiness of his beloved daughter, and refusing to fulfill his most beloved disciple, what he usually said and what he did were completely different things, and he was a hypocrite. ”
"My teacher told me to figure it out and go to him again, and I was only in my twenties at the time, so I was naturally radical and impulsive in thinking about the problem. I once wanted to simply elope with your mother and live the life I wanted to live. When I calm down and think that if I elope with your mother, then the teacher and the teacher will lose their beloved daughter and beloved disciple in an instant, and the daughter and the disciple will betray their parents and teacher together, and the blow to them will be incomparable, then who else in this world is worth trusting?"
"We can't do this, even if we elope successfully, even if we are together, but with infamy on our backs, the guilt in our hearts, will we have real happiness? Will we live a life without worries and regrets? Not to mention that the teacher and the teacher are not in good health, maybe they will die for this incident, I don't kill Boren, but Boren died because of me, and your mother and I are tantamount to murderers. ”
"And I also know that your father loves your mother no less than me, and he will be very good to your mother. If I don't elope with your mother and accept your grandfather's arrangement, then I will only sacrifice my love, but I will fulfill your grandparents, father, and mother. Your grandmother's illness, with your father's financial support, can live a few more years, which is a great comfort to your grandfather and my teacher. ”
"From a financial point of view, if your mother marries your father, she will live a prosperous and stable life. And your father is tall and mighty, ordinary people don't dare to bully him, he can completely protect your mother. And I don't have your father's conditions in terms of economy and appearance, and your mother will only suffer and be poor if you follow me. I have received a great favor from my teacher, and I have no way to repay it, so should I still do the things of beasts for my own selfish interests?"
"A gentleman will only let the person he loves live better and happier, why do you have to let her live with herself, but you may not be able to give her happiness. Three days later, I agreed to my mentor and became a brother and sister with your mother, and promised in front of my mentor that I would never go back. This is why your father was bold enough to let me take on the responsibility of taking care of your mother when he was in a critical situation. I just regret that there is no way to find your father's bones, and I can't bury him with your mother's. ”
It turns out that a person of noble quality like his uncle has also wavered in his own pursuit for his own interests, so it can be seen that a person is not a sage, who can do no wrong? But in the end, he defeated himself, abandoned his own interests, and fulfilled others, so he became a gentleman and was respected by others everywhere, so what about Jin Lian? If she could not restrain the desires in her heart, would she become a woman who was spurned by everyone?
Wu Song bought two bottles of good wine and some chicken, duck and fish, and took them home for the New Year, Wu Dalang also came back earlier than usual, Jin Lian helped Wu Dalang, prepared the appetizers and served them upstairs, still in the room where Wu Song lived, the four of them surrounded and prepared to eat.
Uncle and Wu Song had a happy conversation in the room, and when they sat down, Wu Song raised his glass and said: "Big brother is on top, today Wu Song was recommended by the county minister, and he went to Tokyo to do business, and he will leave tomorrow." My uncle is with me, he has never been to Tokyo, and he wants to go with me, and he will take care of him on the way. This time, there is no one at home to take care of it, counting the schedule, this time, most three or four months, at least seventy or eighty days to come back. ”
So there is a special sentence to tell my brother and sister-in-law, my eldest brother has always been cowardly, I am not at home, my uncle is not here, no one to discuss, afraid of being bullied by outsiders, if you have always sold ten cage cakes a day, tomorrow you will only sell five, go out late and return early every day, do not drink or argue with others. When I got home, I put down the curtains and closed the doors and windows, saving a lot of tongue. If someone bullies the eldest brother, remember not to argue with him, and wait for me and my uncle to come back, and they will naturally reason with him. ”
Wu Dalang took his brother's wine: "Brother, I rely on you." ”
Wu Song raised his cup and turned his head to Jin Lian and said: "Sister-in-law, you are a smart person, my brother is simple, what is good or bad, it is all up to sister-in-law to mediate, please keep this in mind, the fence is not in, don't be a person with different hearts." ”
Of course, Pan Jinlian knew what Wu Song said, he didn't pierce this layer of paper and save some face for them, so why did Jin Lian say it, so he raised the wine in his hand and said: "Second brother, since you can afford your sister-in-law, sister-in-law will make this cup." ”
After drinking it all in one gulp, he poured another cup for himself: "I wish my uncle and second brother a safe and safe trip, and I will do it first as a respect." Raising the cup and taking another sip, Jin Lian's body shook a little and her head was a little dizzy.
The uncle who was watching coldly from the side came forward at this time, and hurriedly called Wu Dalang: "Wu Dalang, help Jin Lian to go in first, she drank too quickly, and she was sick again the day before yesterday, and her good body may not be able to support it." Wu Dalang hurriedly helped Jin Lian into the bed in her room.
Wu Dalang helped Jin Lian to lie down, and still went over to accompany his uncle and brother, how thick the wooden planks of the room could be, and their conversation was not lowered, so Jin Lian could still hear clearly. Wu Dalang said to Wu Song: "Brother, you and your uncle are going, you must come back early, don't let your brother look through his eyes." His voice was choked.
Wu Song said: "Big brother, if you really don't feel at ease waiting for me to come back, don't go out to sell cooking cakes." Naturally, I'll ask someone to send you some trays tomorrow morning. ”
Wu Dalang said: "Brother, I can't stop my hands and feet since I was a child, and I don't get used to it at home. I'll listen to you, only sell half of what is sold on weekdays, and I still have it at home, so don't bring it. When you go out with your uncle, there are more places to use money, don't you know that it is good to be at home for a thousand days, and it is difficult to go out? ”
Then my uncle and Wu Song discussed where to meet tomorrow. Pan Jinlian knew that the reason why her uncle dared to go out with Wu Song was, of course, because he was actually the same as Wu Song in his bones, he was a person with great ambitions and wanted to make a difference. He has long longed for the opportunity to go to the outside world to meet the heroes and heroes of the world, enjoy the famous mountains and rivers in the world, and live in the afterlife once, but it is a pity that his commitment to his mentor has bound him.
Now that Niang is no longer alive, the worry about Jin Lian no longer exists. Because Wu Song moved out of the house, Jin Lian can no longer see Wu Song often, the love thread has been cut off, Jin Lian will not have any illusions about Wu Song, sadness is greater than heart death, he will not worry about Jin Lian Hongxing going out of the wall. Because in this world, like Zhang Shanren and others, they grab a handful, and there is only one hero like Wu Song, and Pan Jinlian will never be tempted by other men again. There is no need for the uncle to look at Jin Lian, he is afraid that he will live up to Jin Lian's grandfather and mother's entrustment, and he should also realize his dream when he was young.
Thinking and listening, Jin Lian fell asleep. And the conversation between her uncle and the Wu brothers turned from clear to vague in her sleep, when they left, how they left, all of this had nothing to do with Jin Lian anymore.
It was the third day that Uncle and Wu Song left for Tokyo, and without her uncle's care and persuasion, Jin Lian's heart became empty. Since her uncle appeared in her life, although there is no blood relationship, his love and help for Jin Lian is better than that of his own uncle, Jin Lian, who has lost his father's care since he was a child, treats his uncle as his biological father. What's more, my uncle is full of poetry and books, and his knowledge is beyond ordinary people, even if Jin Lian's biological father is alive, it is impossible to educate and enlighten Jin Lian like him, so that Jin Lian's knowledge will continue to improve, so that she can be as good as a stream.
His teaching and persuasion often made Jin Lian find a way out from being at a loss. Now that he and Wu Song have seen the world outside, Jin Lian suddenly seems to have returned to the years when no one relied on and no one talked to. In that year, Jin Lian struggled with Zhang Shanren alone, so hard and lonely, lonely and helpless, Jin Lian really didn't want to go back to that kind of hellish life, she only wanted her uncle and Wu Song to go back quickly.
Think about it, on this day when the water turned into ice and the sky was freezing cold, the old man and wife of the rich family were drinking around the fireplace; Only real men like Uncle and Wu Song, for the pursuit of ideals in their hearts, would be willing to rush on such a cold day with a howling wind and heavy snow.
There were only Wu Dalang and Pan Jinlian in the family, and they were also in no mood, making a table of dishes and not moving their chopsticks a few times. Only the two of them, surrounded by the fiery charcoal stove, relatively silent, Jin Lian kept looking out the window, large snowflakes fell quietly, accompanied by quiet snowflakes, it was a cold wind blowing straight away, and they kept it like this until dawn.
It's a new year again, the first and second days of the new year, just Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang are at home, and they have passed in a lonely place. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, Brother Yun went to Jin Lian's house and brought a basket of horseshoe, and he asked Jin Lian: "Sister Jin Lian, Uncle and Second Uncle Wu went to Tokyo, and no one accompanied you to relax, shall we go to the temple fair? ”
Pan Jinlian looked at Wu Dalang hesitantly, and Wu Dalang said repeatedly: "Jin Lian, you just go to play with Brother Yun, it's inconvenient for me to go, Brother Yun is clever, you go to play with him, I don't worry." Sitting at home is also boring, and you don't necessarily have to buy anything when you go out, there are more things in the temple fair, and your mood will be better to take a look. ”
So Pan Jinlian went to freshen up, put on a cotton jacket and cotton skirt made of colorful brocade given to her by Wu Song, and inserted a velvet red plum designed by her sister-in-law on her head, slightly rubbed a little fine gouache, and came out. Brother Yun said loudly: "Sister Jin Lian, you are dressed like this, I am afraid that you will go to the temple fair, you are the most handsome lady at the temple fair, I haven't seen you so radiant for a long time." ”
Brother Yun and Jin Lian took a turn at the temple fair, watched it fun, tasted the delicious food, and the joyful and festive atmosphere infected Jin Lian, and the mood became comfortable, and the time was not too early, and it was time to go back.
