My name is Ah Nuan, and I am from Huai'an Ouyang.

But I'm not the famous veteran who went through the four dynasties, the immediate family of Prime Minister Ouyang, I'm just his cousin and granddaughter, or the one who came out.

To put it simply, our Ouyang family is divided into three rooms.

When Changfang was in the previous dynasty, he was already an official in the capital. However, that old man is not very good, and it is still a negative teaching material for our future generations. Fortunately, he had a strange illness in middle age, and he never recovered, otherwise he would not know how much trouble he would have caused to his family.

I heard my mother gossip with my aunt secretly, saying that he should have lost his mind. Otherwise, how could he pass on his most promising eldest son to the second uncle?

The great-uncle who succeeded heard that he was the most beautiful man in Daliang back then, and later became a princess, a concubine, and his own fief.

However, he is also very capable, has made a lot of great contributions, and after his death, the emperor personally posthumously sealed it. However, none of this compares to his eldest son.

His eldest son, whom I should call my grandfather, has a single name and a mountain character, and is known as a big man who only comes out once in 500 years.

I can't tell how powerful he is, I just know that he is the most powerful and powerful official under the emperor. At the age of sixteen, he was admitted to the civil and military double champion, and at the age of thirty-nine, he became the prime minister, and after his death, he also got the word "Wenzhen".

It is said that this is the highest honor that a courtier can get in his life.

And my great-grandfather was just a small concubine in the third room, and my mother was just a maid in the old man's room. Because that year, after the second room of the horse went to Beijing, he also brought our long house into Beijing. My great-great-grandfather with limited talent. In this life, he stayed in his hometown, served the elderly, guarded the ancestral property, and only became a farmer, and he never even touched the edge of an official.

Next, although my grandfather and father also read, they can also take the test to show their talents, in front of so many large and small officials in the big house and the second room, it is simply a small sesame seed and a big watermelon, which is not worth mentioning.

However, we also have a fight in the third room. It's the uncle's branch. In the early years, there were several warriors and generals. But in recent years, their family has also declined. But there is still a foundation that has been an official, compared to our family, which is always at the bottom. It's still a lot stronger.

However, this does not prevent us from living happily in the countryside. For as long as I can remember. I think my home is very good.

Few people, simple.

Everyone never quarrels, and everyone is very polite.

When I was a child, I listened to my grandfather. "The other rooms of our Ouyang family are so promising, and our room can't compare to others as an official or study, so we have to have a harmonious family and save ourselves embarrassment to the other rooms."

Therefore, since my great-grandfather's generation, no man in the family has taken concubines, and the girls who marry are also virtuous and reasonable, and their style is upright, and everyone praises them.

So much so that when it comes to me, as long as I grow up well, marry a kind son from a good family, and have children, this life will be very complete.

That's what I've always thought, and that's what my mother taught me.

I started learning words when I was five years old, but I didn't need much, as long as I could write, read, count, and know how to settle accounts.

At the age of six, he began to learn needlework and housework, and the requirements for me were not high.

But since the age of seven, there is one thing that I don't like very much, but everyone in the Ouyang family must learn.

I had to learn how to cook.

Because the princess in the second room married a princess who was very famous and super good at cooking, and that princess heard that she had come to our house to be a girl before. I wonder if they were "doing it privately" at that time.

But no one will talk about this now, but praise the relationship between the princess and the great-grandfather in the second room, saying that they are "a rotten fish together", I guess it is probably a rotten fish that also eats together, so the relationship is very good.

Many people are willing to marry the girls of our Ouyang family, and one thing is that they like us to cook.

Indeed, there are a lot of recipes left by that princess in our family, but just having recipes can't cook!

At the very least, I can't do it.

Not to mention the fish, even fist-sized meat, I can cook it into a pot, it's not decent at all.

The mother was very worried, "How can you marry someone in the future if you are like this?" ”

I sensibly comforted her, "Don't be afraid, at most I will buy a good cook to marry when the time comes." ”

The Ouyang family did not deduct their daughters, and in addition to the one prepared by my own family, my dowry also included family property.

This was also left by the princess's great-grandmother, who had two sons and no daughters in her life, and when she died, she deliberately left a large sum of money for the family property, specifying that it would be left for the girls of the clan to marry.

So I'm not afraid at all, but my mother looked at me and became even more sad.

Fortunately, my little maid Chunni was clever, and suddenly ran into the kitchen, her little face turned red, and she said very excitedly, "Mrs., someone from the Prime Minister's Mansion has come up, and the old lady told you to take Miss Fifth over quickly!" ”

Yes? My mother and I were all shocked, will someone come to the Prime Minister's Mansion? Want to see us?

What's going on?

The little sisters of the whole family are lined up horizontally and vertically, and I'm not one of the standouts, am I?

But my mother still took me immediately, and it was a housekeeper mother from the Prime Minister's Mansion, but she was serving the Prime Minister's wife.

“…… The old lady returned to her hometown and saved her relatives, but she didn't expect to feel a cold. It was a small illness, but the in-laws of the Su family were not at ease, so he must accompany the young master's family back to Beijing. For fear of arguing with the old lady, the young lady only brought a seven or eight-year-old young lady with her. This walked all the way, the old lady saw that the little lady was very lonely during the journey, thinking that it was not far from Huai'an, so she asked the slave maid to ask, if there is a little lady at home who wants to go to Beijing, just go to play, go back and want to stay in Beijing, or send someone back, all of them. ”

And this kind of good thing?

My eyes immediately widened, I'm going, I'm going, I'm going!

The mother in charge looked at me and smiled, "This little lady is innocent, the old lady will definitely like it." ”

Grandpa glanced at me and smiled embarrassedly, "Country girls have no rules, so it's good if my sister-in-law doesn't dislike it." It is said that the sister-in-law came over. We should go and ask for peace in person, but I'm afraid of disturbing her tranquility. ”

The housekeeper's mother hurriedly said, "Don't! The old lady was afraid of alarming the family, so she didn't come back, if the old lady was polite, it would make our old lady unhappy. ”

Grandpa smiled kindly, "In this case, we won't talk about these false courtesies." Let people clean up and let Ah Nuan go with you. ”

All right!

If it weren't for my mother holding my hand, I would have wanted to turn over a few twists on the spot.

I flipped it very well. The third brother and the seventh brother. Every time I envy to death.

Why don't I go back and show the old lady?

“…… I'm telling you, going out is no better than your own home, you give me honesty. Put away all your twisted and grimacing tricks. Beware of making jokes! ”

Got it. It's verbose!

It's not just my mother who will talk about a bunch. Dad came to talk about it, and even the seventh brother was so small that he knocked me on the head and taught me a milky lesson. "Don't disgrace our family!"

Whew, I unceremoniously bit him on the cheek, and the kid immediately ran away with a red face.

But when he turned around, he was screwed by the third brother's ears again. Forget it, for the sake of going out, I won't do it again, so it's not that I can't beat him.

It's just that in the end, the fourth sister found me and whispered, "You went to the capital, and you also inquired privately, what kind of person is our uncle and grandfather?" ”

If someone else entrusts me, I'm not good, but I will definitely take the fourth sister's entrustment to heart.

In fact, she is a loss, obviously she is not two years older than me, and she is much more sensible than me, if she hadn't just been engaged to Wu Jia Saburo, she must have been the one who went back to the capital this time.

Because I was a little weak-hearted, I immediately patted my chest and responded to her request.

Actually, if she doesn't say it, I'll inquire about it. Because this question is not only her, but also a common mystery in the hearts of so many children in our Ouyang family.

The cousin in our family is famous enough, but his wife is really enough.

Three wives and four concubines, and before he was forty years old, he married seven full of seven.

Although there are many large families with wives and concubines who have sex or something, and there are more than a dozen of them together, but our cousin is different.

In his life, there was no girl who had a room, and all his wives and concubines were famous and famous, and they left many legendary stories. From this point on, he can be regarded as a "bright and tired" gentleman, right?

It's too much to care for a person who only asks for one wife in his life.

He famously said that I don't have a heart of flowers, but I like more flowers.

But my mother told me privately that when a man asks for two wives, he is a flower. Those who are attentive are not good men, and they must not marry.

But the old lady, the one I was about to go with, why would she allow her husband to be distracted?

With a mind full of questions, as well as a lot of luggage and souvenirs packed for me at home, I followed the housekeeper's mother surnamed Chen on the road.

“…… Miss Five, what do you want to do most when she goes to Beijing this time? ”

"Find out why my cousin had seven wives."

Worst! The carriage shook and shook so much that I could tell the truth at once.

Mother Chen looked at me with her hands tightly covered and stunned, and looked at the car pretending not to hear, "Hey, it seems that this day is going to change again, right?" Hurry up and don't keep the old lady waiting. ”

Didn't she hear? Did she really not hear it?

But looking at Chen's mother so polite and kind, I forgave myself in a daze. Well, just remember not to talk nonsense in the future.

After walking for seven or eight days, I caught up with Mrs. Su's team.

It turned out that she stopped in a temple, and a large area of peach blossoms was planted on the hillside in front of the temple.

Riding in a carriage all the way, the falling flowers fell like rain with the wind, and that scene was beautiful that I will never forget.

Chen's mother watched me get out of the car and stand on the wheel, and she didn't say a word to me for such an unruly behavior, but when I realized it, I apologized to her embarrassedly.

Thinking about it, he added again, "Grandmother Tang must be a very good person, otherwise there would not be such a good Mother Chen." ”

After saying this, my own face turned red, and Chen's mother smiled deeply, "Our old lady often says that it is difficult to reconcile everyone. It's okay or not, Miss Five, you can see for yourself. ”

Soon, I met my cousin.

Just as I imagined. This is a very charitable old lady.

But younger and more beautiful than I expected. Although her face is already densely covered with wrinkles, her clear eyebrows still make her feel that she is a good-looking old lady.

I liked her at first sight, but the second time I started to sigh.

Such a good cousin, why does a cousin still marry so much?

"Little girl, you actually sigh?"

When my grandmother teased me, I realized that I had done something stupid again. Quickly covered his mouth and shook his head desperately, "No, no." I am...... Uh-huh. Just yawned. ”

My grandmother laughed, but she didn't hold me accountable, and introduced me to the little guest I was going to be with.

It was a very delicate and beautiful little girl, the first time I saw her. I regret it.

The fourth sister should still be here. Instead of embarrassing me as a "coarse porcelain rotten tile" (my mother's words).

But when I asked, she was a year older than me. When I was two fingers taller than her, my rotten self-esteem was greatly satisfied.

Even if she had to argue with me later, saying that I was only one finger above her. I was also generous enough not to worry about her little man.

At that time, I was obviously very proud, but I still pretended to say, "Grandpa said that the people in our family are only tall and not long-hearted, don't mind." ”

Su Yue'er bit her lip with her snow-white teeth, obviously, my hypocritical comfort hit her hard.

Hey.

However, this girl's "sister power" is amazing, and she really has no one to play, so in the end, she quickly got along with me.

It's not me who blows this, but my popularity is still very good.

……

"Are there really crickets there?"

"Definitely! Listen to me, yes. As soon as he heard the shout, he was a great general. ”

Su Yue'er pinched the handkerchief and stood behind for a long time, but couldn't help but go to the grass with me to look for crickets.

I found one in the evening the last day, and if I find another one today, I will be able to fight crickets with her.

At the moment, we have left the temple full of peach blossoms and are on the way back to Beijing.

But I didn't rush every day, because my grandmother was too old to withstand such bumps. Only stop-and-go. But it's also good that it's convenient for us to travel all the way.

Anyway, there are Yue'er's parents and so many uncles and aunts in charge who will worry about arranging places to eat and live, so she and I just don't lose ourselves.

Now we have stopped, and I don't know which manor has planted a lot of fruits and vegetables.

I like it very much, but Yue'er hated the smell of farmhouse fertilizer here at first, but after I took the east to steal the beans and the west to get a melon, I gradually liked it, and now I am not afraid of dirty grass to catch crickets.

When I grabbed the big general into the bamboo tube, I saw her stupid appearance with blades of grass on her head, and suddenly I wanted to touch her little chin and tease her.

But the hand was only halfway out, and suddenly I heard the voice of someone talking on the other side of the courtyard wall.

I quickly withdrew my hand, shh

I saw my grandmother say to a middle-aged uncle who was not young, "Over the years, I have wronged you." Hiding in the countryside......"

"What's wronged? With you and the Prime Minister taking care of us all these years, our life has been very good. ”

"Alas, a family, but it is like this......"

We don't dare to listen to the rest of the story.

What does that mean? Family?

Thinking about it again, I suddenly found that the uncle looked quite familiar. Isn't he just like the portrait of the horse in the second room enshrined in the ancestral hall? Sky! Could it be that he was the illegitimate son of his cousin?

Obviously, Yue'er also thought of this.

glanced at me quite sarcastically, and said in a weird manner, "This cousin of your family is really capable." ”

I was very annoyed, but I said without thinking, "Yes, even if your cousin and grandfather want to have this ability, they still can't think of it!" ”

My cousin and grandfather said it was okay from his own family, but not for outsiders.

Yue'er choked on me speechlessly, and ran away angrily, not even crickets.

I didn't have the heart to play with her, I felt like I had a big lump in my heart, and I didn't even have an appetite for my favorite stewed pork with dried beans for dinner.

My grandmother must have seen something, so she left me behind after dinner.

I knew I was wrong, so I admitted my mistake first, "I'm sorry, it's me who is bad." You shouldn't quarrel with Sister Yue'er. I'll go and apologize to her. ”

Grandmother said, "Let's talk about it first, what's going on." ”

I didn't dare to talk about it, but I thought about it and felt very aggrieved in my heart, so I asked, "Grandmother Cousin, is the uncle here also the child of Grandma?" ”

I was ready to be beaten, but I didn't expect my grandmother to be stunned when she heard it, and after asking the reason. She suddenly smiled. "Ah Nuan actually doesn't like your cousin like this, right? But why do you have to speak for him? ”

I was stunned and said truthfully, "He is my cousin, in front of outsiders." Of course I'm going to help him. ”

Grandmother laughed. Then laughed louder and louder. It took a long time before he covered his stomach and said, "You little thing." Is...... How do you say it's good? ”

Seeing her like this, I was even more confused, "Grandmother Cousin, how can you still laugh?" You're too virtuous, aren't you? ”

My cousin smiled again, but after laughing this time, she was kind enough to sit me down and said, "Did you know that your cousin had a younger brother?" ”

Know.

That younger brother passed over to the Su family, but he grew up with the princess of the horse since he was a child. He has never been an official in his life, and I don't know what it is.

Ah! I suddenly understood, "The uncle here is the son of that cousin?" ”

My cousin nodded and smiled, and my face immediately turned red and I stammered, "I...... I misunderstood......"

My cousin stroked my hair and said, "Even if you misunderstand like this, you still immediately jumped out to defend your cousin grandfather, this is very similar to the people of our Ouyang family, and there is no right or wrong." But your surname is Ouyang, you are the host, and Yue'er is the guest, you as the host because of the quarrel, you snub the guest, but you shouldn't. So you still have to make peace with Yue'er, but it's not for the sake of quarrels, but your responsibility as a master, you know? ”

Know! The mystery in my heart was solved, and I nodded to how cheerful it was.

But my grandmother looked at me and said, "Actually, you've always been puzzled, haven't you?" I wonder why your cousin married so many wives, and why am I not angry? ”

To me, who said the central thing, my face turned red to the root of my ears, did I show it so obviously?

I'd love to explain, but I can't say half a word.

Grandmother smiled gently, "That's it, I won't answer you this question first, wait until you go to the capital, find the answer yourself, and ask me again if you can't find it, okay?" ”

I didn't dare to respond, but I didn't want to refuse. Just with her head down and chirping, my cousin smiled and let me go.

I quickly ran to reconcile with Yue'er, and she apologized to me.

"I'm my sister, and I should have let you. I shouldn't say bad things about your parents and my parents in front of you. ”

As soon as she opened her mouth, she cried with self-reproach. It made me cry too, and then my brain was hot, and I said, "Then I'll punish you for copying books." ”

But when I really picked up the pen and paper, I regretted it again. I don't like to cook, I don't like to write!

Alas, Ke Yue'er decided to punish herself for copying thirty times, and I had no choice but to accompany her.

Then while copying, while longing in my heart, when I enter the capital, how can I find that answer?

The capital, in such anticipation, is approaching day by day.

When the day finally came, I no longer had those expectations, but I was inexplicably more apprehensive.

I'm scared that I'll find out the bad answer. So how can I protect myself in the future?

But looking at the old cousin's grandmother's kind and peaceful appearance, I cheered myself up again, the situation shouldn't be too bad, right?

With something on my mind, I entered Ouyang's house in the capital.

This place was originally called Pingwangfu, and the outside was already replaced by Ouyang Mansion, but the old plaque is still stored in the inner hall for commemoration.

Because it is the height of summer, the flowers in the palace bloom very well. In particular, the lotus pond, although it is not as grand as the Qixing Lake we see in the suburbs of Beijing, is more beautiful.

“…… On the other side of the lake, in the osmanthus forest, there lived the fourth aunt and grandmother. Behind the fourth aunt and grandmother, the piece that smelled of medicine was the fifth aunt's medicine garden. Next to her, the tallest stargazing tower, is the residence of the sixth aunt and grandmother. The seventh aunt and grandmother were not there, because there was a new young master Sun in the seventh room, and no one was in charge, she took leave with the old lady, and took care of the past for two years, and she still had to come back. As for the second and third ladies, they are both deceased. However, their house is still kept, and it is cleaned every day. If the two young ladies are willing, the slave maid will lead you around. ”

No need. Yue'er and I shook our heads together, it was the former residence. We rushed in, always disrespectful.

"Can we go to the Broken Garden?"

I heard that this is where my grandfather grew up. Want to know what kind of person he is, and where do you start?

Besides, that broken garden is now very famous.

Not only because of the existence of my grandfather's family, but in the past hundred years, it has almost become a holy place in the hearts of Daliang people.

I can't tell you the specifics, but it probably seems to be a place to teach people to fish. In short, it is a learning skill, and even the students of Guozijian have to go to class inside.

Responsible for greeting our big girl Ningxiang. Smiled and nodded. "I knew that the two young ladies must want to go and see, and the slave maid had already made an appointment with the steward over there. In two days, I will find a vacancy, and I will invite you. ”

Yue'er and I looked at each other and smiled, both of which couldn't hide their joy.

Although the broken garden is attractive. But there's a lot to see here.

Especially the Book Garden. Under the management of my cousin grandfather for decades. It is already the most prestigious library of the Liang Dynasty.

Whether it is windy or rainy, cold winter or scorching heat, there are always students from all over the country who come here to borrow and copy books.

This is also the favor left by my cousin back then.

He said that none of his children could surpass him. I hope that more young talents in the world can benefit from this and make achievements beyond him in the future.

I think this is more difficult.

It's not that we don't work hard, but it takes five hundred years to produce a talent.

So even as a descendant of the Ouyang family, I still live without pressure.

"You're just useless!" Yue'er sighed and poked at my head as I asked for a book, and began to doze off again, "Let's go, let's help collect the books." ”

Oh, by the way, today, July 7th, the library at home is closed, and the books will be dried for three days.

When we passed, we didn't expect the old lady and several aunts and grandmothers to be there, looking at the paintings.

After coming here these days, I gradually got acquainted with each other, and not only the old lady in the family, but even several aunts and grandmothers were extremely amiable people. There is no infighting between the wives and concubines of ordinary people, and even I began to wonder if what my mother taught in the past was wrong, and whether wives and concubines can also get along in harmony?

"Yo, Ah Nuan and Yue'er are also here, just come and see, who is this?"

In front of me is a young man and a woman.

The man was handsome, and I had never seen anything in my life. And the woman in the back is holding a plate and smiling like a flower. What's even more interesting is that there is a little white dog at their feet, like a snowball, begging for food, so funny.

"Is this my cousin?"

Before I could speak, Yue'er, who was smarter and more attentive than me, shook her head, "No. Look at the years mentioned above, my uncle and grandfather have not been born yet, how can it be him? It should be the princess, so isn't this the eldest princess of Jiashan? ”

My face flushed, and my grandmother smiled, "Ah Nuan, this time can be compared." ”

I scratched my head embarrassedly, "Don't you all say that my grandfather is handsome and the girder is the first?" I patronized it to see how good the people in this painting looked, and I forgot about it. ”

The sixth aunt and grandmother squirted out a sip of tea with a smile, "I didn't expect that our Ah Nuan is also a womanizer." ”

I became more and more embarrassed, but I refused to give in more and more, and defended myself with an old face, "Everyone has a love for beauty, is this also wrong?" ”

"That's right, that's right." This time, even the always gentle fifth aunt and grandmother laughed, "Just like your cousin, there's nothing wrong at all." ”

Adults are so annoying sometimes! I'm a girl, so what's wrong with beauty? And you can't be a three-husband Shiro.

I thought I was only thinking in my heart, but unexpectedly, my mouth had already muttered, and I heard a room full of old ladies rubbing their stomachs one by one, and even Yue'er blushed.

"You're fortunately still a girl, if you're a kid, aren't you a prime minister?"

I didn't notice who quipped, and I was annoyed, "I'm not like him!" Although I love beauty, I can marry one. ”

Suddenly, the room was quiet again.

I know, I'm saying the wrong thing again.

Alas, I really want to dig a pit and bury myself.

In fact, I know that my cousin is not a bad person, and in the Tibetan paintings in the house, there is also a picture of a hundred beasts worshipping their birthdays.

That year, my cousin called my grandfather Du Gong, the year of his 60th birthday, he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money, entrusted many friends, collected 100 kinds of rare birds and beasts from all over the world, and sent them all the way to the capital to pay homage to Du Gong's birthday.

The painting shows a house with a wall torn down to allow elephants as tall as the house to enter. There are also black and white pandas. It was so cute.

Although this incident was scolded by many as a loser, my cousin's filial piety was true.

And after honoring the elders, my grandfather also built a garden on the outskirts of the city, and let the people visit those animals for free for three years. It was only three years later that the animals were returned to their homeland.

In those three years, I heard that many hawkers had become rich because of the flow of people brought about by this incident, and they still miss his benefits, and those who said that he was wasteful have gradually become dumb.

But the cousin is more touching. Or is he getting old in Master Su. In the years when he was sick in bed, he had already become a prime minister, so he took leave and wanted to go home to accompany the old man.

The emperor issued several holy decrees to save him. The ministers accused him of indecency. But my grandfather said. "If the elders go and keep filial piety at home, it will be for the world to see. And my master worked hard to raise me. Teach me to be an adult, and the benefits I get are only understood in my heart. Now when he needs me the most, I would rather not be this official for the rest of my life, and I must go back to serve his old man. ”

For this purpose, he also wrote a very famous recital, which is now a must-learn text for all readers. I've heard it, but I don't understand it.

It's just that when Dad occasionally reads it, he will always choke up and flash tears halfway, and then he can only tell me about the meaning of this when he is calm.

And I think the most remarkable thing about my cousin is that because Su Shigong has a disabled leg, he never left him from birth to Su Shigong's death, and he never left the capital half a step.

When Su Shigong died, he did not marry at home and keep filial piety, but dressed in sackcloth, carrying the tablets of Su Gong and Du Gong alone, walked out of the capital for the first time, traveled all over the mountains and rivers they once told him, and wrote countless travelogues that people praised.

He was forty-five years old that year.

I can't imagine that by the time I'm forty-five years old, I'll have the courage to do something.

But why did such a great cousin marry so many wives?

I went to the ruined garden to find out, but I only saw the house where my cousin lived when he was a child.

Although it is still as it was back then, it has been vacant for decades, and there is really no trace of it except for a big blue cloth dog and some children's toys.

I wanted to ask the old people in my family, but most of them only remembered what he looked like when he was a child, and then what he did to the people over the years.

But what does it matter for him to marry a wife?

When the hot summer passes, late autumn comes, and all the evening osmanthus flowers in Ouyang's mansion bloom.

I picked up osmanthus flowers under the fragrant osmanthus tree.

I really don't have much talent in cooking, and the only thing I can do is osmanthus nectar at this time.

The fourth aunt and grandmother sat under the golden osmanthus tree, I don't know what to remember, with a girlish smile on her face. I was so stupid that I didn't even notice that the osmanthus in the basket fell to the ground.

"Ah Nuan, have you found the answer?"

Suddenly, the fourth aunt noticed that I was looking at her, and suddenly made fun of me with some shame.

Almost the whole family knows what I'm looking for.

So I was just stunned, so I cheekily asked her, "Fourth aunt, don't you think it's a pity to be such a good person as an aunt?" ”

The fourth aunt didn't smile this time, and she didn't say like the sixth aunt, "You're still young, you won't understand." ”

She just looked at me gently, "Ah Nuan, do you like Sister Yue'er?" Will you get angry because she left first? ”

I nodded and then shook my head.

Because I want to stay and find answers, Yue'er has already followed her father home. But she's still my good friend, how could I be angry with her?

The fourth aunt and grandmother raised their eyes to look at the golden light that poured down from the osmanthus tree, and said faintly, "If a person, you like him, he also likes you." When you like him with all your heart, when he likes you with all your heart, even if he likes someone else, how can you be angry? ”

As if afraid that I wouldn't understand, she tried hard to explain, "Because what he gave you was already the best he could give at that time." ”

I seem to understand a little, but I still don't quite understand.

At this time, the little sister of the Guan family, Ling'er came.

The fourth aunt and grandmother were busy asking me to play with the little guest, and I watched her sit down under the osmanthus tree again, with such a faint smile, and suddenly felt. Even if my cousin married so many wives, they were actually still happy, right?

"Ah Nuan, Ah Nuan, I can find a cricket marshal today, I must beat you to the ground!" Ling'er is not in this mood, and when she comes, she wants to find me to compete.

The aunt and grandmother of the Guan family married my cousin's younger brother, and her great-grandfather was a very good friend of the concubine, so every time Ling'er came back to my house, she treated it as if it was her own home, and she didn't know how to be polite at all.

But that's fine, it's just right for my temper.

After a fierce battle. My cricket general still won over her cricket marshal.

Ling'er was frustrated. But I was willing to gamble and lose and gave me the lottery.

"What is this?"

I looked at the little carmine box, it was very plain and not too finely polished. I just suddenly felt a little familiar. Where did I see this box?

"What's wrong?" Ling'er is also a heartless character. Look at me. Unapprehensively, he leaned over and looked at it again. "I only heard that this box is my aunt's old stuff from the past, so it shouldn't be very valuable, right?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through my mind. Hold on to the box. So he ran to the library.

Ling'er followed me for some reason, and rushed into the study garden with me, and in the study room where my cousin grandfather once used, there was a pot of rockery jade bonsai on the table.

The jade box was obviously dug up from this rockery.

I suddenly remembered that in the grange of the second room, there were still some ancestral old stones, some of which were jade. Among the dowries given to us by the princess were these old stones. Before the eldest sister got married, she got a piece.

Try to put this jade box in the depression of the rockery, just right, like the rockery holding a bright moon.

When I poured out the rouge in the box, I saw a small daylily engraved underneath, and there was a sentence next to it, but unfortunately, it was an ancient text that had been lost.

My face changed, "Ling'er, is your aunt's name Ah Xuan?" ”

Ling Er was stunned, "Yes, how do you know?" ”

My heart was pounding, and the answer I had been looking for for so long seemed to be ready to come out.

I'm not a flower, I just like a little more flowers.

But what he loves most is actually a grass, right?

Subsequent verification confirmed my suspicions. The words on the edge of the daylily are a poem,

Jun is like the bright moon, I am like fog.

The full text of the first sentence of "Ancient Acacia" is as follows:

Jun is like the bright moon, I am like fog, and the fog is hidden with the moon.

Jun is good at stroking the piano and I am good at dancing, and the end of the song is like a blockage.

Only because of the feeling of Jun a review, it makes me think about Jun Chao and Dusk.

The soul will never regret going with you, and the lovesickness will be bitter for you.

Lovesickness, who should sue? I don't know where you are.

Fumen earnestly thinks of the king's order, and climbs high to look at the end of the world.

……

The solution of this mystery did not make me feel half relaxed, but even heavier.

I couldn't even face my kind and kind cousin.

I want to go home.

"Nuan, what's wrong with you?" The better my grandmother treated me, the more sorry I felt for her. Even if my cousin is sorry, I think it's our Ouyang family's mistake.

So, I cried.

I cried so much that I couldn't speak, and my liver and intestines were broken.

My grandmother was shocked and kept hugging me and comforting me. In the end, I finally couldn't help but take out the carmine jade box.

"Cousin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have looked for an answer. Woo, my cousin was a big liar, he lied to everyone......"

Poof!

Very discordantly, Grandmother Cousin smiled after looking at the jade box with a magnifying glass.

I was stunned, how could she ...... How can you still laugh?

"It's a shame that he can write it, so it's no wonder he has to hide it. Okay, okay, Ah Nuan don't cry. Do you know, what year did your cousin make that rockery? ”

I was still in tears and shaking my head stupidly.

"It was the year he was fifteen years old, and the aunt and grandmother of the Guan family were only ten years old that year, and this should be a birthday gift for her."

Fifteen years old? Ten years old?

I blinked, and suddenly realized that I had made a mistake again.

Grandmother said with a soft smile, "The aunt of your Guan family didn't take good care of smallpox when she was three years old, and she had a little sequelae. It's not pockmarked, it's not too brainy. Your cousin's grandfather was ignorant when he was a child, and his younger brother had a serious illness and almost died, so he has been very good to the aunt and grandmother of the Guan family since he was a child, and he may have liked it a little, but ......"

She smiled and shook her head. "It's good he didn't do anything stupid."

I was getting more and more confused, "If my cousin likes that aunt, why don't you marry her?" Do you want to match her and her brother? ”

Grandmother smiled, but this time there was something different in her smile.

It's self-confidence, but also pride.

"Your cousin was a man who was bent on great things, he was willing to protect the weak, and he was kind by nature, but his wife had to be able to share the burden for him, and not only be protected by him. This. Our uncle can do just that. So your cousin must have realized this as well. Such a decision was made in the end. ”

I was completely dumbfounded, "Then you, how can you tolerate ......"

Grandmother Cousin smiled, "You're still too young. I haven't experienced the world. How can you understand that there are some people in this world. But only one in 500 years? I can come across it. It's the luck of my life. To be able to be a wife to such a person, even if I have to tolerate the existence of other wives and concubines, for me. It's nothing anymore. Otherwise, look at us, do you think we are unhappy? ”

I was speechless for a long time.

The brilliance on the grandmother's face is not something that an unhappy person can have, and several aunts and grandmothers, including the two who have passed away, and their children who live separately often come to the house, and such an affectionate and harmonious appearance is not something that an unhappy person can pretend.

Perhaps, if there is such an outstanding person as my cousin grandfather in this world, it will attract women like my cousin and grandmother to be willing to follow.

I'm not them, how can I understand their feelings?

If I think about it, if he hadn't been my cousin, I think I would have been attracted to him just because he could travel all the country by himself at the age of forty-five.

Luckily, he was my cousin.

Thankfully, I've never seen such a wonderful man.

Otherwise, it is easy to not get married.

To this day, there are still many good women in this world who once introduced their cousins and grandfathers as confidants, and they have never married.

The following spring, I went home with the answers.

The only unexpected thing was that the lobby brother who sent me home also brought a kid from the Lin family on the way, in the name of protecting me, in fact, he wanted to go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers together.

Play and play, why do you still make poetry? I can't see this the most, and when I hear it, I get goosebumps all over my body.

On this day, listening to the boy surnamed Lin doing sour poems such as "I wish to have a hearted person", I couldn't help it, and stabbed in the past, "You have the ability to be half-hearted, and you are still flat and neat, let me see?" ”

The kid surnamed Lin was so angry that his face turned red, and from then on, he wanted to "debate" me every day. After arguing for a few months, it was easy to get home, and I thought I was finally safe.

Unexpectedly, three years later, he actually sent someone to propose marriage.

This is good, is it the rhythm of arguing with me for the rest of your life?

After another two years, before sending me to the sedan chair, after my mother cried, she poked my forehead and scolded, "You can't change the problem that comes out of your mouth in this life, and your aunt will be half-hearted when you look back, don't come back and cry!" It's so high and far away, you just cry to death, and your mother can't save you, woo woo......"

I was shocked, "Didn't you say that grabbing a man's stomach will capture a man's heart?" It's all fake, isn't it all fake that I've been coaxing me to learn cooking for so long? ”

My mother said angrily, "Is it the cooking you learned?" It's obviously the cook that the old lady taught you! Do you want your man to catch your cook? ”

I pouted, "It's all like that, if he really wants to catch it, let him go." ”

The mother was so angry that she was speechless, so she simply stopped talking.

In fact, my mother's worries are purely superfluous, and when I get married, we are so busy every day that we are too busy to "quarrel" from the head of the bed to the end of the bed, how can we think about taking a concubine?

"Hey, did you take a fancy to me a long time ago, so you quarreled with me every day at that time?"

"You're so beautiful! I just didn't want to marry someone I didn't know, so I reluctantly chose you. Hey, won't you let me be half-hearted? How about I get a few of them back? ”

"Okay, pig heart, chicken heart, pigeon heart, plus chicken wings and duck wings, you have to be happy, I will cook for you every day!"

"Madame spares ......"

Hmph, I didn't lose when I quarreled, how can I lose now?

In fact, if you really want to be half-hearted, it's not impossible. In the future, if you give birth to a son, you will be called Sanxin, and your daughter will be called Eryi, how interesting is it?
