Chapter 162: Meeting My Great-Grandmother
After the establishment of Da Chen, Zhou Lu still scolded non-stop, and Chen Taizu asked people to recruit him to the imperial court as an official many times, and he resigned.
Later, he gradually couldn't hear from this person, and gradually faded out of people's sight.
How long does an old man want to dominate the headlines? You can wash and sleep.
Although Zhou Lu is a lone seedling, he still has two sons, but unfortunately his son's harvest is not very good, and when he arrived at Ning Xin's great-grandmother's generation, she was the only girl.
Ning Xin's great-grandmother lost her husband at an early age, and she pulled two daughters by herself, one of whom was still a concubine. Although there are no people in the Zhou family, they don't have a lot of money, and because of Zhou Lu, no one was born.
After three generations, who still remembers the glory of the Zhou family, a boy adopted by his great-grandmother, but he didn't expect that this boy was the son of the leader of the Yue people. Following the Han people to learn scientific and cultural knowledge, the insight is not comparable to ordinary people.
When the time is right, he returns to the mountain and succeeds in taking the position of leader in one fell swoop.
The great-grandmother was taken to the mountain by her adopted son, and by that time her eldest daughter had become the wife of An Guogong. Outsiders know that An Guogong's wife is a descendant of Zhou Lu, but they don't know their relationship with the Yue people.
The weather was not too hot in September, and Ning Xin sat on the sliding pole and watched herself walk into the deep mountains and old forests.
It's really a deep mountain and old forest, and there is no road. If it weren't for the Hawaiian-style Yamakoe to lead the way, Ning Xin firmly believed that they would not find their way home.
Ning Xiang looked at the surroundings with great novelty at first, after all, the deep mountains and old forests are not something you can enter if you want to. Ning Xiang's experience is not only more than that of children of the same age, but even more than the old aristocrats who have been in Beijing all their lives.
But all the desolate roads and trees that can be seen in the eyes can't help but feel a little panicked.
"Sister, do they all live in the woods? Why is there no one, there is no market, where do they buy things? Ning Xiang thought of the lively market at the foot of the mountain, where my sister said that you could exchange things.
"Well, they probably don't need to buy anything."
Ning Xin saw that Ning Xiang was looking at herself with the same big eyes as herself.
"They are in the mountains, and they are self-sufficient. If you lack something, you should go to the bottom of the mountain to buy it intensively. β
"Is the house on the hill like our villa on the hill?"
"Do they have doctors, do they buy all the herbs?"
"Can they keep a lot of wolves?"
β¦β¦
Ning Xiang turned into a hundred thousand whys, and he didn't know how to answer Ning Xin's question at all, and secretly prayed to get to the place quickly.
Ning Xin couldn't resist it anymore, and after starting to plan the possibility of going down by herself, she finally arrived at the place.
The grandmother of the big leader celebrates her seventieth birthday, and the younger brothers are not in a hurry to worship the mountain.
So on the mountain, which I thought would be desolate, there was a lot of people, and it was not lively.
It is comparable to the lively Cheng dΓΉ of the prosperous prince's house, but it is much more lively and rude than the battle that Ning Xin has passed.
They made a sliding rod and went to an open place halfway up the mountainside, where houses made of bamboo and wood were lined up one after another, and when Ning Xin pulled Ning Xiang out, there was a very high gate made of wood in front of her.
The wood was tied with red silk, and the red lanterns hung symmetrically.
A man in a blue brocade robe greets him with a smile.
However, his smile seemed a bit hideous to Ning Xin, although he was dressed as if he could recite poetry with a fan, but the beard on his face and his rough voice all showed this person's wild character.
The bearded man had already seen Ning Xin and his party, because this time he was congratulating Ning Yuan's grandmother on her birthday, not as the Taishou of Linhai County, so he only brought his family.
The fact that the bearded man was able to receive the task of greeting guests showed that his status was not low, and in fact he was the youngest brother of the current chieftain. As soon as Ning Yuan and his party arrived, he noticed it.
Compared with a group of gangsters who wear various styles of clothes and have outstanding temperament and can hear their voices two miles away, their group of people is really different.
The bearded man's mind immediately popped up with the name of the grandson of the ancestor.
Ning Xin followed the bearded man to a less lively courtyard, and along the way they looked like gorillas in the zoo, receiving everyone's side eyes.
Ning Xin even wondered if she was dressed inappropriately or had rice grains on her face?
So much attention and sneaky pointing is really unbearable.
After an awkward walk of tea, Ning Xin met her first acquaintance since she went up the mountain, Mama Chang.
Mama Chang was obviously waiting for them at the door.
"The old ancestor chattered early in the morning, and the old slave thought that the time was almost up, and sure enough, they all came."
Mama Chang happily pulled Shi Li and said.
"Grandmother Laowai is worried, it is the grandson's unfilial piety."
Ning Xin saw that her father had a very sad expression at the moment, and she didn't know that she thought it was angina.
"It's all a family, and we will often come and go in the future, so let Xiaolangjun and the girl come to live more."
Ning Xin couldn't help but look up at Mama Chang, her identity was different from ordinary Mama, it was no problem for her to say this. But how could she hear that this was not quite right, she hadn't seen her cheap great-grandmother yet, so she would be invited to stay?
You must know that before, this relationship in the family was not not not mentioned. They lived in Zhang'an for more than a year and never received an invitation.
Chang Mama is a familiar appearance who often comes and lives, and talks about the preferences and moods of the ancestors all the way and takes them into the courtyard of the ancestors.
Ning Xin watched quietly all the way, the housing here is very different from other places. In particular, the courtyard houses are arranged very much like the layout of the houses they live in.
The maids and servants who came and went were also more orderly than the outside, at least they didn't point fingers in front of them.
Passing through a long corridor with sparse flowers and trees, the third courtyard suddenly appeared.
followed Mama Chang to the main hall, and saw an old woman who could already see wrinkles on her face when she was not smiling, wearing a red Wanfu gown and a long skirt with dark lines of Shu brocade.
When the woman at the top saw Ning Yuan and his party, the original appearance that could still hold on collapsed instantly.
Ning Yuan was also very good, and knelt on the bluestone floor.
"My grandmother has a seventieth birthday, and my grandson Ning Yuan will bring your wife and children to you to celebrate your birthday. May your pines and cypresses be evergreen and blessed. β
Then Ning Xin also kowtowed with Ning Yuan.
The old woman couldn't hold back anymore, and she hugged her head and cried.
It was the first time Ning Yuan saw his father so emotional, and his father, who paid the most attention to his appearance on weekdays, cried like a son who had been reunited after a long absence. Beauty crying is also better looking than the average person, of course, limited to the average person.
Ning Xin saw that her great-grandmother and father were in pain, her eyes swept to herself, and the sentence that appeared in her mind was.
Do you want to cry like this, but the tears don't seem to be cooperative, swollen and broken.
