There were only a few days left before Lin Chun's other wood carving was almost completed, and the Huang family began to pack up and prepare to go home.

As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels.

After staying in Fucheng for more than a month, except for Huang Xiaobao and Huang Li, who have not yet gotten tired of playing, Daddy Huang and the others can't stay anymore, they are simply anxious, and they feel that this city is not good at all.

What they couldn't bear the most was that every action had to cost money, so that Daddy Huang was reluctant to go out later; The second is to think about the crops in the field.

When the date for returning home was determined, the Huang family father and son became happy.

Because of Lin Chun's "red sun rising, its way of great light" sent to the academy, countless scholars were able to get acquainted with this little carpenter from the mountains, and many of them took the initiative to befriend him for various reasons.

Knowing that he and Huang Yuan were going to return to their hometowns in the near future, Huang Yuan's friends set up a banquet in Linjiang Building, and practiced for the two of them for a whole day.

At dusk, Zan Xuji invited Huang Yuan to go downstairs and stroll in the bamboo forest by the river.

He confided to Huang Yuan that he wanted to marry Du Juan.

Huang Yuan stood still, looked at him fixedly, and said, "Brother Zan knows that this matter can't be done, so why should he mention it?" It is impossible for the Zan family to marry a village girl; It's impossible for my sister to be a concubine! ”

Zan Xuan said coldly: "As the saying goes, 'things are man-made'. The brother told the virtuous brother about this, just hoping that the virtuous brother could work hard. Whether it is for the sake of helping the brother or for the sake of the younger sister, the virtuous brother should pass the imperial examination as soon as possible. In this way, the Huang family naturally rises with the tide, and Miss Huang naturally ......"

Huang Yuan was shocked in his heart and interrupted him: "Not to mention whether the junior brother has the talent to go to high school in a few years, even if the junior brother is lucky." really made it to the list in one fell swoop in three or two years, and it is impossible for my sister to marry Brother Zhan. ”

Zan Xuji frowned and said, "That's because she doesn't recognize me yet......"

The implication. If you know him better, you won't refuse this family.

His confidence is beyond words.

Huang Yuan shook his head. calmly told him that every time he came, it was Du Juan who took the initiative to avoid it, "With the family background of the Zan family, what kind of woman can't my brother want to marry?" Why bother with this. My sister has a very good idea, if there is a little unhappiness because of this, it will ruin our brotherhood! ”

Zan Xuji's face was slightly gloomy.

Ban Xiang asked, "But is it because of Lin Chun?" ”

Huang Yuan didn't answer, and continued: "Brother Zhan, let's give up!" The Huang family is a poor family, which is really not suitable for the Zan family. The younger brother is young and shallow. He has just encountered a change in his life experience, and he has no intention of getting involved in his career for the time being. This time I will return to my hometown, and I will devote myself to studying. When he succeeds in his studies, he dares to play again! ”

He didn't mention a word about the shisha, but he subtly expressed his attitude.

Zan Xuji heard him say that he "has no intention of setting foot in the official career for the time being", and he was furious in his heart, and stared at him with a gloomy face.

Huang Yuan looked at him calmly and fearlessly.

The two looked at each other quietly, and the afterglow of the setting sun was projected onto them through the cracks in the bamboo forest. Jumping is uncertain.

When Shen Wang and the others arrived, all they saw was them staring at each other.

He smiled: "You are so affectionate to each other, don't blame the little brother for thinking too much." ”

Everyone laughed in an uproar, and Huang Yuan also laughed. That's when I threw it away.

The dinner party was set up in the forest, and a group of teenagers drank under the moon until they were drunk. Singing and singing indulgently, the sound of the sheng flute and qin is transmitted to the river. Drift away with the river......

The next day, Huang Yuan slept until three poles in the morning.

The cuckoo and the oriole are not there. Only Feng brought breakfast.

After Huang Yuan finished eating, he stopped Feng Shi, who was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, and asked the question that had been in his heart for a long time.

Feng stammered: "Yuan'er, you ...... How do you think of asking this? ”

Huang Yuan stared at her intently and said, "Mother, there are some things that you can't bury in your heart alone, what you should say must be said." It's like the son's life experience, when the time comes, the mother will tell it. Recently, my son had some doubts in his heart, so he asked his mother to explain his sister's affairs clearly. It's a matter of great importance! ”

Feng Shi looked at his son, his lips trembling slightly.

Suddenly, she gritted her teeth and said, "I wanted to tell you when I got home." I've made so many troubles before, I'm afraid that something will happen again......"

Just the opening sentence made Huang Yuan's heart sink leisurely.

He got up, poured a cup of tea for his mother with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, mother, speak slowly." I listened to it today, so I can rest assured. What should I do, let's discuss it and come back to it. ”

Placing the teacup in front of Feng, the hand trembled slightly.

The secret of many years is about to be revealed, and Feng Shi is also excited.

She took a sip from her teacup to calm her mind.

"The cuckoo was picked up by my mother. My mother gave birth to you that day. Before you wrap it, you pass out, and you are taken away by the wolf. When my mother wakes up, she looks for you everywhere. Later, I found the cuckoo in a mountain hollow, and I cried so badly......"

Listening to the events of that year again, Huang Yuan couldn't help but burst into tears.

He not only experienced Feng's despair and sadness at that time, but also thanked the appearance of the cuckoo. Without her, in addition to the loss of her parents, the mother will also have to bear the condemnation of her in-laws. In that case, no one will praise her mother for her hard work, only complaining that she shouldn't have gone up the mountain with a big belly, so that she lost the son she was so easy to conceive. Because before him, the Huang family had already killed two sons......

No matter where the cuckoo came from, so coincidentally appeared in the sight of the mother, isn't it providence? I can recognize my ancestors and return to my ancestors, but I also owe this sister.

As he listened, he couldn't help but wipe his tears for Feng.

“…… Your grandmother said that her mother gave birth to a girl, can your mother not feel uncomfortable? Mother gave birth to such a big fat boy! Outcome...... The result is gone! Replaced by a girl, can the mother feel uncomfortable? ”

Speaking of those years, Feng's tears still couldn't be stopped.

“…… Fortunately, the cuckoo is really a blessed baby, smart and caring. From the time she came to our house, our family had a better life. You don't know, there are a lot of strange things: my mother has no milk, so she sent the cuckoo to eat Lin Chunniang's milk next door, and Lin Chun's father asked our family for something. And guess what? The cuckoo didn't even eat milk, just drank rice soup! Wait for Lin Datou to say that she doesn't want anything before she eats, do you think it's weird? I didn't think about it that much at the time, but now that I think about it, cuckoos have been different from people since they were children......"

Huang Yuan burst into tears and laughed, and said, "Mother said that the cuckoo has become a fine." ”

Feng wiped away his tears. continued: "The three daughters are still living a prosperous life. Others are greedy when they see it, your grandfather and your grandmother are always looking for trouble......"

Huang Yuan heard this. Then he persuaded: "Mother, don't say it." Now the son goes back, everything is waiting for the son to come out, and the mother only needs to enjoy the happiness. ”

Feng pulled out the memories of the suffering and smiled, looking very satisfied.

Telling her son this most embarrassing secret, she felt very relaxed. From then on, she no longer needs to be afraid of what happened back then, and she doesn't have to feel that she is burdened with anything.

After two more sips of tea, she whispered to her son, "Yuan'er." Do you like cuckoos? That year in Montenegro Town, my mother thought that you two could speak. ”

Huang Yuan suddenly blushed and said busily: "There is nothing to do...... Don't talk about it! Mother is right, let's talk about it when I get home. When the time comes...... We'll talk about it then! ”

Feng Shi saw that he was shy, and he didn't understand!

She was also satisfied with this family affair in her heart.

The daughter-in-law was raised by herself, can she be satisfied?

Although it is said that his son is capable, the cuckoo is also worthy of him. Du Juan has been reading and reading with her little uncle since she was a child, and she also teaches her sisters and brothers. I heard that Lord Yushi recommended Lin Chun and Du Juan to enter the academy that day, because Du Juan was a girl. I didn't go. It can be seen that the cuckoo is very good!

She finally got through it, and the Huang family's happy events happened one after another......

When Huang Yuan saw the cuckoo again, he secretly rejoiced in his heart, and at the same time, he felt like a dream.

It's just that it was so coincidental and bizarre. It happened that he couldn't believe it, and it was so strange that it made him wonder - he doubted the origin of the cuckoo!

If he hadn't known that Yang Yurong had not given birth to a daughter, he would have almost suspected that the Yang family had exchanged a daughter for a son. It's not the Yang family. Who would it be, so coincidentally when his mother gave birth to him. Leaving a newborn baby girl in the valley?

This doubt took over his heart, and he snatched away some of the joy of learning that the cuckoo was not his own sister. It also made him look a little strange.

The cuckoo laughed at his homesickness.

Huang Yuan didn't tell either.

After thinking about it for a few days, he told himself: For more than ten years, no one has come to look for Du Juan, so she is the daughter of the Huang family; Future...... It will be the daughter-in-law of the Huang family!

Why should he worry about it!

Not to mention the hidden worries in Huang Yuan's heart, but also to say that on this day, in the study outside the Zhan Mansion, the governor of Zan was reprimanding Zan Xuji.

"You're so lustful!"

"It's not that my nephew is......"

"What's not being? A village girl, read a few books, said something righteous and awe-inspiring, you will be dizzy when you hear it, and you will be fascinated by her! I don't know how many talented ladies and small families in the capital have jasper, why only recognize the yellow azalea? ”

"Second Uncle is angry! Let's listen to my nephew's words......"

"I don't listen! For the sake of this Huang Dujuan, the two families of Huang Yao went to court, and almost made the father, son, grandchildren turn against each other, the aftermath of the case is about to pass, Zhao Yushi's reprimand is still in his ears, Yao Jingui is still on the way to exile overseas, you still dare to provoke her? Are you trying to bring trouble to the Zan family! Don't say that it is impossible for her to agree to be a concubine for you, even if she agrees, my Zan family will not dare to welcome such a rebellious woman! ”

……

Zan Xuji walked out of the study, looking extremely depressed.

I thought that my uncle admired the cuckoo, but I didn't expect such a big reaction.

He hasn't clarified the reason yet, his uncle only thinks that he wants to take Huang Cuckoo as a concubine, and he is so opposed, if he knows that he wants to marry her, how will he be angry?

Sister Smoke's wish......

Zan shisha heard that Huang Yuan was leaving the next day, and immediately went to the Fuxiang Inn.

Zan Xuji reminded: "Uncle is in the house, and he was angry just now." Sister, don't be reckless! ”

Zan Shuisha looked at him and said, "Brother Xuji must have a way, right?" ”

Zan Xuji shook his head and said seriously: "Sister, I can't help you for my brother." Not only did his uncle not agree, but Huang Yuan also ......"

He slowly said Huang Yuan's answer in the bamboo forest by the river that day.

Zhan Shisha suddenly lost his mind, holding the jade pendant and was speechless.

"Then you can bring me a letter to him."

She said firmly.

On June 20, Huang Yuan finally embarked on the journey home with his grandfather and father.

Because he bought a lot of books from the Boundless Bookstore, and the Chen family sent another batch of papers, plus he emptied his bookcase and wanted to take it to the mountains to stay and even accumulate the family business—because it would be his ancestral home, his roots—there were more than a dozen carts.

Ren Sanhe took the first step back and asked someone to answer.

Three days later, when Du Juan and his entourage came to Black Mountain Town with a car, Ren Sanhe Lin Dameng took dozens of strong men from Quanshui Village to the Lin family's shop, and Qiusheng, Xiasheng, Fusheng and others came, and they met a lot of closeness and liveliness.

That night, Huang Yuan and others rested at his grandfather's house.

Early the next morning, the people set out on the fourth watch, and drove a long procession of donkeys into the mountains like a caravan selling goods. (To be continued......)
