Volume 1, Chapter 89: Qi County
Yueyao and the others were not in a hurry, and they walked relatively slowly, and they walked for four days in three days. It didn't arrive until near noon on the fifth day, but luckily there was no rain for all four days, except for the first day, when the sun came out, the other three days were cloudy.
When Yueyao got out of the carriage, she looked at the plaque hanging at the gate: "Lianfu." "The two words are thick and heavy, and at first glance, they have decades of skill.
Tingli said with a smile on the side: "Third sister, these two words were written by the old lady. It's been decades coming. "There were a lot of people who wanted to ask for the words of the master back then, but unfortunately they couldn't buy it even if they were ten thousand dollars.
The Lian family reached glory in the hands of the grandfather. is also because the master is very skilled, so he dares to separate from his family. It's just that if you want to create brilliance again, you have to rely on the efforts of the younger generations.
Yue Yao followed the servant into the courtyard, layer by layer of courtyards, one threshold after another, the more inward the courtyard became.
The house has not been occupied for a long time, even if the news servant cleans it, there is still a faint smell, which makes Yueyao very uncomfortable. When Deng's mother arrived at the room, she immediately took out incense to smoke the house, and it took most of the day to move in.
When Yueyao was in the nunnery, she did her laundry, sewing, and cleaning by herself. It's just that it's different now, she's a daughter who doesn't touch the yang water, and it's impossible for her to do this kind of rough work. If she insists, she will only get more and more chaotic.
Yue Yao consciously took a book and sat in the yard, today is a cloudy day, in the courtyard (1) (this ~ reading (novel) ybdu reading is not afraid of the sun dazzling.
Qiao Lan brought tea.
When Tingli came over, he saw Yueyao reading a book seriously, and the tea next to her was fragrant and misty. Tingli looked at it and felt really bad in his heart, why is such a diligent and studious sister not a man: "What is my sister reading?" ”
Yueyao will only read Zizhi Tongjian in her own room, this kind of book is suitable for men and not for women. Even Yueyao, who didn't bring out the medical book, asked people to see her studying medical books; So what she is looking at now is the "Dayuan Geological Map".
Tingli was surprised, he thought that Yue Yao would read books such as poetry and songs, but he didn't know that Yue Yao was reading this book. The Geological Map of the Great Yuan Dynasty mainly depicts the territory of the Great Yuan Dynasty, mainly detailing the geographical appearance, population and land of provinces, prefectures and counties. Ordinary women rarely read such books, at least this is the first time Tingli has seen a woman read such a book.
It is also a coincidence that Yueyao will read this book, I read the travelogue that introduces the water and soil customs of various places before, and said that Yueyao is not familiar with the state and county, so I took out this geological map to compare. But after a few times, Yueyao found that her knowledge was too shallow, and she didn't even know the country she was in, so she would read and remember it carefully when she was free.
Yue Yao put the book on the table next to her and stood up: "Big brother, you sit." ”
Tingli came over to tell Yueyao that she was going to take her to meet her relatives tomorrow. Get Yueyao ready.
Yueyao had never been to her family in her previous life, and she didn't know anything about her family, but she learned a little about it on the way. Yueyao didn't think that the family would accept them, at most she maintained the affection on the face, thinking about the time when the master kicked out the family when he got in power, and now he wants to return to the clan, where is there such a good thing in the world, and it is still up to them to maintain their affection in the court: "Big brother, tomorrow is my mother's life sacrifice, I want to go to my father's grave first, and then visit the relatives of each family." "I finish it in advance, and I will talk about visiting relatives later.
Tingli thought for a moment and nodded: "Well, I'm also going to visit tomorrow afternoon." ”
Yue Yao still shook her head. When the time comes, going to see relatives with a sad and sad look is not to add to people's blockages: "Big brother, if you have something, go and do it." It's not too late for me and my brother to go the day after tomorrow. "You have to adjust your mood to visit the elders of the clan. is not close to each other, and then comes to the door with a grievance, this is not a show of goodwill, but a grudge.
Seeing Yueyao's insistence, Tingli couldn't feel comfortable, but he could only follow her wishes: "Okay, then you can rest early today." ”
Yueyao nodded. But at night, because she didn't like it, Yueyao couldn't sleep, and turned over to look out the window. The night was quiet and empty, and the shallow and transparent moonlight entered through the window, moistening the whole room like water.
Yue Yao got up and put on her clothes and walked to the courtyard, which was much colder than the capital, and when she walked to the courtyard, Yue Yao couldn't help but shiver.
Mother Deng did not urge Yueyao to enter the house, but instructed Hua Bud to go to the house to get a thick coat, and she stood beside Yueyao herself.
Yueyao looked at the cool moon: "Mom, did you say that my father and my mother went back to the sky to watch me?" Or are they already reincarnated? ”
Mother Deng was given by Yueyao's question.
Yueyao didn't ask Deng's mother to answer, and said to herself: "Actually, I hope that my father and mother have been reincarnated, so that they have a new life." ”
Mother Deng opened her mouth a few times, but she didn't know how to say it. At this time, Hua Bud took her coat and was about to put it on Yueyao, but Yueyao shook her head and entered the house. I didn't sleep, I just lit a candle and took a book to read. Leaned sideways and said, "If I fall asleep later, don't move." Yueyao said this to remind them not to touch the book in her hand when the time comes, and if they do, they will wake her up.
Hua Bud nodded hurriedly: "Okay." ”
Yue Yao watched for about half an hour, and sure enough, she fell asleep with her head sideways. Hua Bud looked at her own girl's head tilted on the pillow, and a pair of jade hands holding the book on the aqua blue quilt, which was extremely indecent. But thinking of Yueyao's instructions, he didn't clean up, so he went.
Hua Bud also knows that her own girl is always difficult to sleep, especially in a different place. The last time I went to my uncle's house, I didn't sleep in the middle of the night. Hua Bud sighed softly, since the old lady passed away, the girl has not laughed.
The next day, the group went to the grave and carried several large boxes of scriptures to their destination. The ancestral tomb of the Lian family is guarded by special servants, and ordinary people are not allowed to enter. Yueyao and the others also greeted them in advance, and the person who watched the grave led them over.
Go to the grave, burn incense and place offerings, and proceed in an orderly manner.
Yueyao looked at her father's grave, biting her lower lip and holding back her crying. She took out the scriptures from the box and burned them one by one, and Yueyao wanted to burn them for her father and mother with her own hands. What she didn't do in her previous life, she has to complete in this life.
Seeing so many scrolls one by one, the people who watched the grave couldn't help but ask, "What is this?" ”
Zhao Chun, who followed, said: "This is the scripture that our girl copied for the second master and the second lady. The girl spent more than a year copying the scriptures day and night, and today is the second lady's birth sacrifice, and the girl specially came to send these scriptures to burn to the old lady. ”
It was the first time that the grave keeper had heard such a thing: "The third girl is really filial. "It's all written down word by word, and you can't do it without perseverance.
Scroll after volume of scriptures burned, and the flames burned Yueyao's face. Through the firelight, Yueyao's loving faces of her parents appeared in front of her, and those nightmare-like experiences in her previous life appeared in her mind, Yueyao couldn't help it anymore, tears fluttered down: "Dad, mother, father, mother......" The people around her also turned red.
Tingzheng, who burned the scriptures with Yueyao, was also in tears: "Dad, mother, my sister and I have come to see you......"
The last volume of the scriptures turned to ashes, and Yue Yao fainted.
The doctor came over to check Yueyao's pulse, and after a while, he said, "Girl, this is excessive grief." Rest well and don't make her sad again, otherwise she will fall ill. The doctor knew that it was because of the death of his parents that he cried and fainted, and only sighed pitiful.
Yueyao woke up and saw that Tingzheng had become a rabbit eye.
Ting Zheng saw Yueyao wake up, and shouted happily: "Mom, my sister is awake, my sister is awake." "The doctor said that my sister would be fine if she woke up.
Yue Yao touched Ting Zheng's head, start over again in this life, everything is going in a good direction, there will be no more nightmares like this, there will be no more.
In the afternoon, Ting Li still took Ting Zheng to visit the elders of his family. Ting Zheng has been carried by Li Han in the Li family for most of the past half a year, and he has become a little bolder. In the face of questions from elders, there is no stage fright. Of course, there was some reluctance to answer the questions.
The question was asked by the old lady of the seventh room of the Lian family, Tingzheng's appearance was very likable, and this attitude was also satisfactory, but Tingzheng's reply made him very dissatisfied.
Tingli was secretly shocked in his heart, you must know that this child has only been studying for half a year, and with the name of straw bales, he can answer most of the questions in the face of the elders' examinations. But in the face of the dissatisfaction of the seventh old lady of the family, Tingli didn't dare to explain, and the more he explained, the worse it became.
As a result, Tingli himself said: "Master, Mr. said that I was enlightened too late, and I should take my time." It's not good to be in a hurry. ”
The seventh old lady Lian Yi glared and said, "You enlightened too late?" When did you get enlightened? ”
When he knew that Ting Zheng had been enlightened for less than a year, he blew his beard and glared at the moment: "Even the heirs of the family started to enlighten when they were three years old, and this child is six years old this year, and he was enlightened half a year ago." What's going on? "As soon as I heard it, I knew there was something greasy in it.
Seeing that Tingli couldn't answer, the seventh old lady asked Tingzheng: "You come here?" Why did you only enlighten half a year ago, was it because you were lazy and unwilling to learn before? ”
Ting Zheng opened a pair of innocent peach blossom eyes: "No, I'm diligent." My sister said that only by studying hard can you become a talent. ”
After hearing this, the seventh old lady sighed heavily: "Bring that girl over another day for me to see." The fatherless and motherless orphans wept and fainted in front of their father's grave, and they didn't know how the family took care of the orphans.
When he went out, Tingli was sweating, looking at Tingzheng who was ignorant and ignorant, Tingli secretly thought that it should be a coincidence.
The seventh old lady shook his head and said: "Lian Cheng was arrogant and couldn't stand the grievances and got out of the clan, but none of the children and grandchildren could stand up, and this generation doesn't know if it can stand up." If I can't hold it anymore, I'm afraid I'm going to lose. ”
The entourage next to him didn't dare to answer, but just looked at their grandfather and sighed heavily.
Yueyao rested for a long time before she recovered, and that night, in addition to practicing words for half an hour, she listened to Hao's mother tell her about her family at other times. Mother Deng is not very familiar with her family, but Mother Hao has been in the Lian family for more than 20 years, and the grandfather has not passed away more than 20 years ago!
Hao's mother is not very clear about the affairs of her family, and when she entered the house, the Lian family had already fallen out with the family: "Girl, now the closest relationship with the family is Qifang." The seventh old lady and our grandfather are cousins, and they are the closest of the blood. "Tingli and my family have eased a lot over the years, but the icing on the cake is easy to send charcoal in the snow. Now that the Lianjia is going downhill, how can the family really be willing to move around more with the Lianjia. This is also thanks to the fact that the seventh old lady is highly respected in the clan, and he cares about this brotherhood with Lian Cheng, otherwise even this little bit of face would not exist.
Yueyao nodded: "What about the others?" ”
Hao's mother shook her head: "No." "What made the grandfather fall out with his family back then, because it has been relatively hidden until now, it is still a mystery. And the parties are almost gone, and it is estimated that it will become a mystery forever.
Yue Yao smiled: "The current attitude of this family has already been calculated. "Back then, the grandfather's high position did not support his family, but abandoned his family, which was a big taboo. Now that the Lianjia family is in a downhill period, the people of this family will naturally not have a good face. Yue Yao thought that the family could maintain face, firstly, for the sake of the Seventh Old Lady, and secondly, for the sake of being studious and very talented in the court ceremony.
On the second day, Yueyao went to each room of the family to meet the elders, and a daughter-in-law who didn't care about anything came out of the big room to deal with it. Yueyao was also extremely discerning, and said a few words and left. The other rooms also went through a passing scene, and only the seventh room was more affectionate.
The seventh old lady is eighty years old this year, and she is not deaf and blind, and her body is also very good, and she heard Yueyao come over and take a special look at Yueyao. The seventh old lady Lian Yi couldn't help frowning when he saw Yue Yao's appearance. This girl is worried about her young age, which is a sign of a short life. The seventh old lady said: "Girl, you should relax and live well after the death of your parents." Only by growing up in peace and security can you be worthy of your parents' spirits in heaven. "The seventh old lady will comfort Yueyao, and Yueyao will copy the scriptures and be filial; Second, it was also Tingzheng's words, which left a good impression on the seventh old lady.
Yue Yao bowed heartily and thanked: "Thank you for your concern, I will take care of my body." ”
The seventh old lady is already old and refined at this age, and it can be seen at a glance whether it is true or false, where can escape his eyes. Seeing Yueyao's sincere thanks, the seventh old lady was very pleased: "It's a good girl." ”
Mrs. Seventh has long passed, and the old lady has long been out of the house, and now Mrs. Lian is housekeeper. According to the generation, Yueyao should be called aunt.
Mrs. Lian saw Yueyao Zhili and praised her for being sensible and filial, and praised Tingzheng with a smile. The attitude is neither eager nor cold, so that people can't find fault.
Yueyao also dealt with it properly, and there was nothing inappropriate. Yue Yao didn't feel too much about the reaction of her family, people are like this, what you plant is what you get. Because of the cause planted by the grandfather, their children and grandchildren have to bear the consequences, and there is nothing to complain about. In fact, it is very rare for this family to have such an attitude.
Mother Deng was a little dissatisfied: "These people are really, girls, let's not walk around with them in the future." "These people are too much to see that the girl is not supported and treats slowly.
Yue Yao smiled: "It's okay. ”
