004 Mid-Autumn Festival
The summer retreats from the sky, the autumn is clear, the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family reunion, but some people are destined to not be reunited.
Leng Siniang was worried about Xiao Tang Chun, who stayed in the county, and asked the maid to send him and his sister some food.
Leng Siniang said: "I don't know if the little stammering arrived in the capital, although she didn't tell me how to take care of Tang Chun when she left, but I know that she is optimistic about this child, this child is professional, filial piety, smart and hardworking, and will become a great tool in the future." ”
The maid came to Tang's house with a food box, and looked at the window to see that the little boy was still reading, and the little girl sat quietly opposite him.
The maid laughed, "What are you brothers and sisters doing?" she lifted the curtain and entered the house.
Tang Chun and his sister hurriedly stood up and saluted.
The maid put the food box on the table with the paint off, and said with a smile: "This is the festival, our lady can't go out, and you won't go over, so let me send some food." ”
Tang Chun took his sister to thank him.
The maid knew that the child was a little introverted, so she didn't say anything, and looked at the interior furnishings, which were simple but clean, and there was no place for her to help.
The maid said: "Then you two brothers and sisters are busy, I'll go back first, and come back next time." She said as she brought out the food from the food box. Red, green, and green glowing with oil.
The younger sister licked her lips, glanced at her serious brother, and lowered her head.
Tang Chun saw that the maid was about to leave and stopped her: "The plate that my sister sent last time hasn't been taken yet, I'll go find it for you." He said and went to the kitchen.
The maid stood at the table and waited, and felt that something was wrong with her sister.
She walked over and squatted down, put her arm on her sister's shoulder, and asked softly, "What's wrong?"
My sister's big eyes were full of grievances: "Sister, don't send food again." ”
The maid was shocked: "What's the matter?"
My sister held her mouth. whispered: "Every time the food sent by my sister is broken, my brother says that he can't eat it." As he spoke, he looked defensively at the kitchen.
The maid thought to herself that this young lady probably wanted temperament, but temperament did not come from this, and the lady gave him food because of friendship, not charity.
She sighed with anger in her heart.
At this time, Tang Chun came back with a plate.
He carefully placed the plate on the table: "Sister, you have taken it." ”
The maid walked up to him dissatisfiedly and asked, "Have you eaten all the food I sent?"
Tang Chun knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, he glanced at his sister helplessly, and then replied apologetically: "No." All thrown away. ”
The maid saw that he did not hide it. Immediately turned cold: "Why? Do you look down on your mother? Can't you eat your sister if you don't eat it?"
"I'm afraid my sister has misunderstood. Tang Chun smiled awkwardly and hurriedly explained: "It's not that I don't want to eat, and it's not that I look down on the lady, and I don't have backbone." It's that I know it's gone. Then go and eat the grass root cabbage will be more difficult to swallow. I know that after tasting the fish, it will be difficult to bear the coarse tea and light rice, so it is better not to taste it, I am afraid that I will not be able to control myself at that time. ”
The maid was shocked when she heard this. The next moment, tears rolled in the circles of his eyes: "Why are you doing this? I knew that this was the case, so it was better to go with the young lady at that time." ”
The young lady once asked him if he wanted to go back to Beijing with him.
Tang Chun grinned and smirked: "Sister, you are wrong again, although my parents are gone, but my uncle is still there, he usually takes care of me, if I leave with Miss, as if I am an orphan, then my uncle's face will not be ruined by me, not to mention that my surname is Tang, I am a descendant of the Tang family, I have to bear the honor and disgrace of our family." ”
This kid reads a lot, but he can't talk about him, the maid chattered for a long time, and finally said: "Even if what you say is reasonable, why don't you want the money that the young lady and the lady give you?"
Tang Chun smiled even more: "Sister, I haven't gotten to the point of starvation, I can't count on other people's help to live, then I can't survive in the world after all, everything is it, or I got it with my own hands, I'm not afraid of losing, and I'm at ease." ”
The maid really couldn't: "Okay, I can't talk about you, but you are still young, when will you be able to take charge alone." ”
Tang Chun walked to the desk with a smile, picked up a yellowed booklet, and showed it to the maid: "This is given by Miss, Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases, don't underestimate it, Miss said, this book is enough for me to achieve great things, I think that tomorrow is not far away, I will be able to take charge of it alone." ”
Zhang Zhongjing's book is not unreadable, and many people have no achievements.
Leng Siniang is also from Xinglin, and now they have opened a medical hall, so the maid naturally knows what book he is holding.
"Since Miss said you can do it, then you can do it. The maid finally sighed, and she looked at her sister again: "But you can starve yourself, my sister is still young, or I will tell the lady to take my sister back to the building, you know, the building is different now, and I am not afraid of being disliked." ”
Tang Chun looked at his sister with a smile.
My sister cried: "I'm not leaving, I was picked up by my brother, I'm my brother's little dog, I want to be with my brother." ”
The maid couldn't cry or laugh: "Hahaha, then you can be a little dog, I don't dare to mention that you will be separated." ”
Tang Chun smiled helplessly, and his sister also burst into laughter.
The maid packed up the food box and put the food back untouched: "I thought that your brothers and sisters would feel that life was very hard, but now I see that I am bitter, seeing that you are smiling so freely, I can go back and return to my mother, and my mother can be worthy of Miss's explanation." ”
Tang Chunyi raised his head and said firmly: "I also want to be a person like Miss." ”
"Yes. The maid smiled playfully: "I don't know how you learn anything else, miss, you are the most bitter and happy." ”
The brother and sister glanced at each other, and both showed innocent little white teeth. Tang Chun said: "I just don't know if Miss has arrived in the capital, what is she doing during the festival today?"
"What can the young lady do? write, read, eat, sleep, and maybe the fifteenth will be able to admire the moon?!" the maid thought for a moment.
The three of them looked out the window with their necks together.
There is such a round of months through the ages, and life is infinite from generation to generation. The cold moon is similar every year.
Zhou Guangzu was transferred back to Beijing, took his family with him, and finally caught up with the Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing.
After thirteen years, he is now nearly fifty years old, and the former prosperity of the Zhou family is no longer there, but he still remembers the streets he walked through when he was in high spirits.
The third daughter was married to a person from the capital, and knowing that they had returned, she rented a small courtyard in Sitiao Hutong, and the family lived here temporarily.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family is men, women and children. Split into two tables. Sit in the hall for the festival.
Mrs. Zhang asked her subordinates to prepare the dishes and rice, and first told the little nephews not to be naughty.
Then he said to his eldest nephew: "Yizhi wants to accompany your uncle and your father to drink two more cups, and everyone is happy today." ”
Can you not be happy? After the martyrdom, the old lady of the Zhou family refused to surrender and starved to death in prison. The emperor took off the title of Duke Wu of the Zhou family. Zhou Guangzu was demoted to Bashu. It's been thirteen years.
I finally went home today, although the house and family business are gone, but the family does not have to die in a foreign country. It's finally back, and that's the best thing they've been doing in the past thirteen years.
Zhou Yizhi's daughter-in-law Pang Shi has been helping the eldest aunt, she took her aunt's shoulders and walked to the seat, and said with a smile: "Then we have to accompany the eldest aunt well." "I said to the table of the female dependents, and that table was the mother-in-law and the unmarried sister-in-law.
Zhou Guangzu's two brothers, Zhou Guangzu and his wife Zhang gave birth to four daughters, no sons, the first three have been married, the eldest and the second when the Zhou family was married, the Zhou family was just beautiful, and the matching family was good, but because the Zhou family came, now the two sons-in-law are in other places as petty officials.
The third child was ordered by the old lady, and he was defeated when he got married, but the Wang family did not destroy the family because of this, which the Zhou family has always been very grateful for.
The fourth child is sixteen years old this year, with a beautiful name, and is ready to stay at home to recruit his son-in-law.
The second brother Zhou Guanghui has two sons and two daughters, the eldest son was born to the original partner, it is the husband of the Pang family, Zhou Yizhi, who is twenty-five years old this year, he and the original partner gave birth to such a child, and the original partner died of illness.
The second son was born to Xu Xian, whose name is Jingzhi, and he is 15 years old this year.
The eldest daughter was born to Xu Xian, and her husband's family is in the capital, so she also gave a gift today.
The second daughter's name is Zhou Qingyuan, who is 16 years old this year, born to a concubine and is not in the family tree. The second daughter and the second son are twins, named Qingchi, who is also fifteen years old.
Zhou Qingliang said with a smile: "I don't know how much my sister-in-law drinks, every time she eats, she shouts the fiercest, but she never touches the wine, so she scolds us real people." ”
Zhang and Pang laughed when they heard it, Zhou Qingyuan glanced at Zhou Qingchi, with a quiet smile on her face, but in Zhou Qingchi's eyes, she was very blocked, she waited for the concubine's sister.
The two sisters sat close to each other, making small movements that were not visible to others.
Zhou Yizhi looked sideways at his cousin and said, "Sister, don't laugh at your sister-in-law, she still has to coax Brother Lin, drink too much and smoke your nephew." ”
Zhou Qingliang joked: "If the eldest brother comes, he will go to his sister-in-law, his father and uncle are here, and the two of you are not ashamed." ”
Zhang walked up to his daughter and clicked on her head: "You can talk about a table of people, and you can't stop your mouth when you eat." As he spoke, he and Pon's sat down separately.
Pang Shi laughed happily: "The sixth sister is lively by nature, and the eldest aunt wants to gag her mouth, so who will we laugh at." ”
Zhang and Qingliang laughed even more happily, and the man's table also made fun of him, and the family seemed to be very lively, when the second aunt Liu suddenly called out impatiently.
"Open the window wider, suffocate not to mention, this moon appreciation, even the shadow of the moon can't be seen, what kind of moon is it? ”
She always speaks so inappropriately, Zhang is used to it as a sister-in-law, and no one in the other juniors dares to talk about her, so the atmosphere is so sneering.
Zhou Guangzu immediately asked the maid to remove the gauze from the window, and then go up after tonight.
When he turned around, he didn't have the heart to joke again: "Let's eat." "I gathered my chopsticks to pick up the vegetables.
One family took the initiative, and the others were not taboo.
Zhou Yizhi is the son of the Zhou family, and he is closest to his uncle, he poured a glass of wine for his uncle, and whispered: "Uncle can read the letter sent by the Lin family." ”
Zhou Guangzu nodded slightly, and his voice was also low: "It's about Xiao Jue's family affairs, and he said that he wanted to take Xiao Jue back and give it to Chen Ge Lao's fifth son." ”
Zhou Yizhi gave his uncle another chopsticks and his favorite tofu: "It has been two months since the people who picked up the people have been there, if nothing goes wrong, Xiaojue should also enter Beijing, this Lin family is about to marry in a hurry, or with the pavilion family, the nephew can't think of any kindness of the Lin family, I don't know what the uncle plans to do." ”
Zhou Guangzu drank a glass of wine, put down the wine cup and thought about it: "Qinghan told me that the fifth prince is terminally ill. What can you do if you don't agree? Send Xiaojue back to Wuxi again? Staying in the capital is even if it is ......" He couldn't bear to say the word widow, and said with a sigh of relief: "Our family has also come back, and we can take care of it if we live closely, and no matter how bad the marriage is, it is also the old family of the pavilion, and with the current situation of our family, it can be regarded as a high climb." ”
As he spoke, he poured himself a drink, full of boredom.
Zhou Yizhi lowered his head and picked up vegetables, he had nothing to say, he knew in his heart that if it was placed fifteen years ago, their Zhou family would be a noble mansion, a hereditary title, even if it was a niece, the marriage would not be decided casually, but now marrying a sick seedling has become Gao Pan, thinking of the little aunt in his memory, who is as generous and beautiful as Qingliang, but it can be said that it is gone, and the children are not happy, it is really difficult to be calm.
The two of them didn't speak, and Zhou Guanghui, who was teasing the child, also stopped.
"What's wrong? Why is it so quiet all of a sudden. Zhou Guangzu and Zhou Yizhi didn't say anything.
Suddenly, Zhou Jingzhi drank a glass of wine.
Although he was fifteen years old, the Zhou family was strict and did not allow him to drink at this age.
Including the female dependents, they were all shocked by this movement, and everyone looked at him in surprise.
Zhou Jingzhi put down the cup and said, "I always heard from you that cousin, aren't we coming back now? When she comes back, let her go home, and don't suffer in their Lin family." ”
The surname is Lin, and he is a descendant of the Lin family, how could the Lin family let him go.
Zhou Guangzu looked at his little nephew helplessly and with relief.
Liu suddenly stood up, pointed at his son and said, "Shut up for me, what do you know, that's what you said to come back?"
Zhou Guanghui looked at what his wife wanted to say in annoyance, and lowered his head again: "What do you see? They are talking about your sister." He whispered to the young man beside him.
The young Sven, with a pair of eyes and a big two-year-old water, always felt that something was missing, and looked at him timidly.
Zhou Jingzhi was scolded by his mother in public, and he felt uncomfortable, but there were many people during the festival, he didn't contradict his mother, he saw his father talking to the young man, and he also whispered into the young man's ear: "Yunjin, my cousin is going to reunite with us, she is your own sister." ”
"My sister?!" the young man thought in his heart, looking at the table of the female dependents, only Zhou Qingliang gave him the warmest and most real smile among his sisters, like Qingchi had a cold face at all.
Zhou Yunjin shook his eyes and lowered his head, and whispered, "I want to go and see the nurse." ”
An old woman who can't even move.
Zhou Guangzu instructed a maid: "Take the little young master over, and by the way, see how the old lady is eating." ”
The maid agreed and led Zhou Yunjin away.
Zhou Jingzhi looked at the thin back of his little cousin, and thought to himself: "This kid is always not close to his family, I have to repair him if it's okay." Then he contacted his own sister, his cousin, who is said to be a mute, is she in the capital now......?
