The Xu family came and went during the New Year, and it was very lively. Although the www.biquge.info industry of the pen "Fun" Pavilion was sold to the He family, the old people and old shopkeepers who have worked in the Xu family all their lives came to kowtow to Mrs. Xu to thank him. In the past, the people in the neighborhood who had received the favor of Xu Changzong and Mrs. Xu knew that the Xu family was about to go to Beijing, and they all came to thank them. Those who are close to each other come to kowtow to Mrs. Xu, and those who don't recognize them leave New Year's gifts in the concierge of Xu's house. From antiques, calligraphy and paintings, to a basket of vegetables, a basket of eggs, and even a quacking duck.

Mrs. Xu sorted out the packing boxes and cages in Beijing, asked the people to carry these New Year's gifts into the courtyard, and said to Xu Wanzhen: "Zhen'er, do you know what this is?" ”

Without waiting for Xu Wanzhen to answer, he said: "These are people's hearts, and they are the traces left by our Xu family in Jiangnan Province for decades. Even if we never come back in the future, when we mention Splendid Records, people will give them a thumbs up and praise it. ”

Xu Wanzhen bowed her knees, "My granddaughter wrote it down." In the future, we must uphold the Xu family style. ”

While the grandfather and grandson were talking, Yulu received a report from the little girl, and stepped forward to bow to Mrs. Xu: "Old lady, there is a mother and son in front of the door, saying that they have received the favor of the eldest lady and will come to kowtow to you to thank you." "Although there are many people who come to kowtow to Mrs. Xu these days, they all know it, and this is the first time that this situation has happened. Xu Wanzhen asked about the situation, and Yulu said: "The porter said, looking at the dress, it should be the hunter near Suzhou City." ”

Old Madam Xu said, "Then invite them in." "It is said that it is near Suzhou City, but Suzhou waterways are vertical and horizontal, where are there mountains nearby? This nearest mountain into Suzhou City, not to mention two days on the road, such a far away place to come on purpose, whether you know it before or not, can not cool people's hearts.

Mrs. Xu led the mother and son to the flower hall, and because it was Mrs. Xu, Xu Wanzhen was also listening. After a while, Yulu came in with the mother and son. I saw a thin woman in the lead, with a blue cloth cloth wrapped around her head, and a short dress of broken flowers and neat clothes. He was followed by a high-spirited man, with a black face, a tall figure, and eyes full of eyes. When the two entered the Xu family, they didn't look around, and kowtowed to the old lady in a decent manner.

Biluo brought a stool and sat down for the two of them. Mrs. Xu said: "I heard that you have some relationship with the eldest lady? ”

The woman said, "The little woman's husband's surname is Han, and this is a little black dog." During the Spring Festival of the third year of Yonglong, we went to Suzhou City to buy New Year's goods. I didn't want the little woman to suddenly become ill, so the child carried me everywhere to seek medical treatment, but the hospital refused to admit me. If I hadn't met Mrs. Xu, my life would have been gone. Speaking of emotion, he wiped his tears and said, "Mrs. Xu is a good person, why did she leave so early?" ”

For a while, Mrs. Xu was also sad. Xu Wanzhen said: "Thank you two for remembering your mother." "Ordered Sang Zi to reward the two of them.

Han hurriedly excused himself, "Our mother and son are not here for the reward. Did I hear that the old lady and the young lady are going to Beijing? ”

Old Madam Xu nodded and said, "I think you have also heard that the Splendid Chronicle is now the He family's property, and my son is still in the capital." ”

Han said: "Old lady, Mrs. Xu's kindness, we can't repay it." It's a long way to Beijing, and there is no man in charge to rely on. I also know that the Xu family should have many ways, but I think about it and am always not at ease. Fortunately, Xiao'er still has two strengths, but he signed a deed of sale to the old lady and young lady, and he is always more reliable than outsiders. ”

The black dog kept his head down and was silent, although this was a decision made during the month, but when it came to the end, he still couldn't give up his mother.

Old Mrs. Xu and Xu Wan were shocked in their hearts, many servants of the Xu family were dismissed, and very few took the initiative to stay, and everyone had to plan for their own home, which was also human nature. At this moment, it was too surprising that someone came to defect. At this time, there is no longer any interest in coming to the Xu family, and it is unlikely that someone planted the eyeliner. Looking at the dress of the mother and son, although the life is hard, there is no shortage of these taels of silver, and they are willing to let their biological son sign the deed of sale? I don't think many people can believe this. You must know that once you make a contract to sell yourself, you will be a lowly person, and you will not be able to take the imperial examination within three generations.

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xu said, "How can this be?" Back then, my eldest daughter-in-law was just a gesture, how could she deserve such a return? ”

Han Shi showed a determined look: "Mrs. Xu will not forget to repay her kindness, but we can't forget." If the old lady refuses today, we won't even be able to eat and sleep in the future. This is the simple truth of the mountain people.

Seeing her so persistent, Mrs. Xu smiled with satisfaction: "Good, good!" The black dog went to Beijing with us, and there was no need for the deed of sale. ”

Han said: "The black dog is eighteen years old this year, and if there is no deed of sale, it will be inconvenient to go in and out of the old lady and the young lady, and it will not be able to play the role of a guard." ”

Han thought about it carefully, and Mrs. Xu had no choice but to respond and arrange for the steward to make a deed of sale.

When the contract was made, Mrs. Xu motioned to the steward to write the deed of silver as two hundred taels of silver, and when she was about to write the name of the "black dog", Mrs. Xu asked Han, "Is there a big name?" ”

Han replied, "His father originally planned to wait for him to turn ten years old, and ask Yamashita Rizheng to take a big name. As a result, in the winter when the black dog was eight years old, his father went into the mountains to hunt and failed to come out, and the name was never taken. ”

Xu Wanzhen was sad to hear this, and was moved by the simplicity of the mother and son, and said: "Dare to ask Madame, what is the son good at?" ”

Han Shi hurriedly shook his hands and said, "Miss, don't want Mrs. and Son-in-law to be called like this, the little woman really doesn't dare to be." My son learned the craft of hunting from his father since he was a child, and since he was nine years old, he has been going into the mountains with the hunters in the village, and he has endured many hardships. Now he is one of the best players in the Cloud Mountain. There was a gleam of pride in his eyes, "He has great strength, not to mention anything else, looking for prey traces, laying traps are all skillful work, and archery is even more accurate." ”

The black dog on the side was embarrassed by her praise and pulled the corner of Han's clothes. It can be seen that the mother and son depend on each other for their lives, and their relationship is very good.

Xu Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled, it seems that the bad luck of the Xu family is about to pass, this is not out of the house, there are such good bodyguards to send it to the door, I didn't expect the black dog who looks so good, and it is really not a person. Then he said to Mrs. Xu: "Grandmother, since you haven't taken a big name yet, why don't you give your granddaughter a name?" ”

Old Madam Xu nodded in agreement. Xu Wanzhen thought for a moment and said, "Since the black dog is skilled in bows and arrows, it is better to take a single name 'Yi' character." Hou Yi is a big hero who bends his bow to shoot the sun, his name is Han Yi, how about it? ”

"Han Yi, Han Yi ......" Han Shi chewed the name a few times, and the more he listened to it, the better he felt, and hesitated: "It's just that Hou Yi's name, can my son match it?" ”

Old Madam Xu smiled: "This name is good, it's so decided!" Although we signed the deed, our Xu family did not take Han Yi's current person, maybe there will be a great creation in the future. ”

Han Yi, the name that shined eight years later, was born in this small flower hall in Suzhou City.
