After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xu said: "How can this be? My eldest daughter-in-law saved people back then, how can she be worthy of such a reward?"

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

Seeing her so persistent, Mrs. Xu smiled with satisfaction: "Okay, okay! Then the black dog will go to Beijing with us, and there is no need for the deed of sale." ”

Han said: "The black dog is eighteen years old this year, if there is no deed of sale, it is inconvenient to go in and out of the old lady and the young lady, so how can it play the role of a guard?"

Han thought it carefully, and besides, the origin of the black dog was still doubtful, and it was best to have a deed of sale in hand. Mrs. Xu should go down 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 be ten years old, and ask the town of Yamashita 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 it, 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 went into the mountains to hunt with the hunters in the village. Now he is one of the best players in the Cloud Mountain. Speaking of her son's ability, her eyes showed a glint of pride, "He has great strength, not to mention anything else, looking for prey traces, laying traps are all skilled 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 is 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 then hesitated: "It's just that Hou Yi's name, can I match it?"

Old Madam Xu was in a very good mood, and laughed and said: "This name is good, it is so decided! Although we have signed the deed, in our Xu family, no one will take Han Yi as a current person, maybe there will be great achievements in the future." ”

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

The steward exchanged the silver deed for a silver ticket and gave it to Han, who exclaimed, "How can ......there be so many?

Xu Wanzhen stepped forward, shook Han's hand comfortingly, and said warmly: "This is not Han Yi's selling money. You have raised such a wonderful son by yourself, and now you are handing him over to us, and we have an obligation to take care of your life in the future. "Two hundred taels of silver, which is a huge amount of money in the Gaomang Dynasty. The cost of ordinary people is only twenty taels of silver a year, and the blind bear that Han Yi took a big risk to hunt back a few years ago only sold for one hundred taels. Xu Wanzhen smiled mischievously at her and said, "Since Han Yi has entered the Xu family, we can't let him feel at ease with you, do you say yes?"

Xu Wanzhen's hands are white and delicate, and under the careful maintenance of Mama Zheng, they are more and more soft and smooth. Han's hands are rough due to years of hard work, and their fingers are calloused. The two hands held each other like this, but they were extremely harmonious, and Han was cautious, for fear of hurting Xu Wanzhen's hand. The Xu family treated each other so sincerely, and the Han family was moved in his heart, although Mrs. Xu was gone, her daughter was still good, and if she wanted to refuse the two hundred taels of silver, she blocked her throat and couldn't say it.

Han Yi, who hadn't spoken since coming in, saw this, knew what A-Niang was thinking, and said, "A-Niang, you just accept it, and I will protect the Xu family with peace of mind." ”

Mrs. Xu praised: "Okay! Sure enough, he is a good man!" After a pause, she said: "It's only the eighth day of the first month, and Han Yi can go home and spend the Lantern Festival with his mother." The two of them rejoiced in their hearts and took their leave.

Xu Wanzhen slowly went back to the main room with Mrs. Xu in her arms, followed by Biluo and Sang Zi. On the way, Xu Wanzhen asked, "Grandmother, there is something unknown about my granddaughter. ”

Mrs. Xu said, "Just ask." ”

Xu Wanzhen said: "Since the deed of silver was given, my grandmother allowed them to go home for the holiday. If Han Yi doesn't come after this festival, won't our Xu family lose two hundred taels of silver?"

Old Madam Xu laughed and said, "You little girl, have you gotten into the eyes of money? Let me ask you, how is this mother and son?"

Xu Wanzhen recalled: "In the eyes of her granddaughter, both of them are simple people at heart. Although Han Yi is not good at words, he seems to be a capable person, and Han should not exaggerate. ”

Old Madam Xu nodded and said, "Zhen'er has a good eye, and what she did just now is also good." How can you care about these two hundred taels of silver again? Controlling people's hearts is a compulsory lesson for the master, and it is more important than you learning the rules from Mama Zheng, which requires long-term experience. He patted her hand and said, "I look at Han Yi, a person with real skills, and he is worth using." Your aunt's kindness can be exchanged for him to defect for a while, but his loyalty still needs more effort from us. Two hundred taels of silver can be bought to give him peace of mind, and letting him go back for the festival is even more trust in him. Such a man must be given the same respect in exchange for his dead heart. ”

After that, he smiled slyly and said, "Even if you and I look away at the same time, then we will only lose two hundred taels of silver, right?"

Xu Wanzhen also smiled when she heard this, and said, "Grandmother, you are really ......."

"What is it, old fox, is it?" laughed Mrs. Xu.

Mrs. Xu's strength, wisdom, courage, and long-term vision and pattern made Xu Wanzhen deeply admire. In her, I saw how ancient women supported a family and even the backbone of a nation. What Xu Wanzhen didn't know was that Mrs. Xu, whose maiden name was Tu Qionghua, was known as "Beijing Shuangshu" with her sister Tu Qiongyu. After the match, she is a popular choice for daughter-in-law in the circle of noblewomen in Beijing, and the matchmaker is about to break the threshold. If it weren't for the debasement of the Tu family, she would definitely be the head of the house in a certain prince's mansion.
