Chapter 3 Gusu Zhujia (3)
Fortunately, although Mrs. Qian had only seen her husband on the wedding night, she became a man in one fell swoop, and even at the 100-day banquet, Zhu Yunyan rarely walked out of the alchemy room and named the boy Zhu Ruiheng. Mrs. Qian, the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info felt that although these days were hard, she finally had hope. She carefully educated her son, because of the importance that Qian Zhifu attached to cultivating immortals, she also hoped that Zhu Ruiheng could enter the Yunji Gate to learn art like his father. As soon as Zhu Ruiheng was five years old, Mrs. Qian took Zhu Yunyan's post and personally sent Zhu Ruiheng to Yunjimen. But Zhu Ruiheng's qualifications were not enough and he was swept down. Mrs. Qian was disappointed and took Zhu Ruiheng back to Suzhou, but she didn't expect Zhu Yunyan to let go of a sigh of relief after hearing the news, and he also comforted Mrs. Qian's mother and son and said: "Mortals have their own mortal blessings, and cultivating immortals is not a good thing." Since then, the relationship between the couple has gradually become closer.
Since Zhu Ruiheng couldn't cultivate immortals, Mrs. Qian asked her husband to teach him to learn literature, and when he grew up, she sent him to study at the famous Mingsong Jingshe in Hangzhou. He also invited the ranger to teach him martial arts. He has been taking pills and herbs since he was a child, and his body is much stronger than ordinary people, and within a few years, his master said goodbye to Mrs. Qian and said that he had nothing to teach Zhu Ruiheng. Since the age of fifteen, Zhu Ruiheng began to study abroad, visiting Hongru in various places, and the number of times he has returned home in the past five years can be counted on one hand.
Zhu Qingheng said: "Congratulations to the eldest aunt, even if the last time Fifth Brother Rui came back was Chinese New Year's Eve the year before last, I really haven't seen him for a long time." Mrs. Qian couldn't hide her joy, and said with a smile: "No, the last time Rui'er left, you and Yuheng were so high on the back of the chair, do you remember what he looked like?" ”
Zhu Yuheng said: "Is it the fifth brother who gave me a small silver sword?" Mrs. Qian nodded. Zhu Xiyan patted Zhu Yuheng's head and said, "Okay, you little guy, you don't remember people, you only remember the gifts given by others?" Zhu Yuheng muttered: "No, it's just that the third brother, the fourth brother and the fifth brother are all good-looking, and they don't go home much, so I remember it like this." He folded his hands and said, "It was the third brother who gave me a little jade horse, the fourth brother who gave me a doll family, and the fifth brother who gave me a little silver sword." ”
The crowd laughed when they heard him. Zhu Xiyan touched Zhu Yuheng with love and pity, and asked Zhu Qingheng again: "What about Qingheng?" How do you remember people? Zhu Qingheng said: "The peach blossom-eyed one is the third brother Qi, the goose-egg-faced one is the fourth brother Ming, and the baby-faced one who has dimples is the fifth brother Rui." Mrs. Zhu held Zhu Qingheng and Zhu Yuheng, and said with a smile: "Okay, good, both of them remember very accurately!" Mrs. Qian also smiled: "Qing Heng should go to paint in the future." ”
Zhu Yuheng stretched his neck and said not to be outdone: "What about me, auntie?" Mrs. Qian said with a smile: "If Yu Heng is a shopkeeper, I am sure that I will not lose a single thing." Zhu Yuheng nodded solemnly. Although he didn't know what the shopkeeper did, he knew how to paint, so he thought that the shopkeeper was better than painting, and the eldest aunt praised him for being more powerful than Zhu Qingheng. He smiled and said, "Yes, when the time comes, I will hold Qingheng's painting in my hand, so that I can't lose a single piece of it." The crowd laughed again.
After more than ten days, a plain carriage stopped in front of the Zhufu Gate, and a white-faced young man wearing a lake-green brocade robe and a scribe's scarf lifted the curtain and jumped out of the carriage, standing next to the carriage with his hands in his hands. The scholar who was driving in front knocked on the door, and three or four well-dressed seventeen or eighteen-year-old servants greeted him, and one of the most delicate ones bent down and said, "Fifth Master Rui has finally arrived, and the old lady has been looking forward to your return home for a long time." ”
Zhu Ruiheng turned his head to look at them, nodded and said gently, "Let the old lady bother." When he finished speaking, he didn't move. One of the little servants said in his heart: "Why does this Fifth Master Rui stay at the door and not leave." Then he said, "Fifth Master, look at ......"
The little guy suddenly stopped, and couldn't take his eyes off the curtain-covered hand that was almost transparent.
Then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up, and a young girl in a green shirt stepped out of the carriage. She is only eighteen or nineteen years old, beautiful and elegant, with a graceful body, she is really an outstanding beauty.
As soon as the girl got out of the car, her hand was held by Zhu Ruiheng. The girl's cheeks were slightly red, and she said shyly, "Brother Rui." Zhu Ruiheng smelled the faint fragrance of virginity for a while, and said with a smile: "Sister Bi, let's go to Tingxi Hall to meet grandmother first." The girl whispered: "You let go of your hand first, everyone is watching, so... How embarrassing. Zhu Ruiheng knew that she had always been thin-skinned, and if she insisted on such intimacy, I am afraid she would be angry. let go of his hand, but couldn't help but laugh: "Bi Mei is so shy, how can we get married in the future?" The girl's face was flushed with shame, and she said shyly: "That's naturally different." ”
Zhu Ruiheng wanted to ask again how it was different, but seeing the people coming and going on the street, many people stared at the girl with straight eyes. He also felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, nodded, and the little guys hugged the two of them into the mansion.
They walked to the Hanging Flower Gate, the little servants retreated, and the two beautiful maids stood on the left and right sides of the hall to greet each other, and followed the two through the hall. On both sides is the corridor of the hand, and a few green-feathered peacocks are walking in the yard outside the corridor. In the middle is an interstitial screen of mahogany shelves carved with white jade. Turning the interstitial screen, there are three more halls, and behind the hall is the main courtyard at the back. The six upper rooms on the front are all carved beams and painted buildings, which have the grace of the water town and the richness. In the corridors and wings on both sides, there are various parrots, thrushes and other birds. On the steps, there were a few maids standing, and when they saw them coming, they hurriedly greeted them with a smile and said, "The old lady was still chattering just now, but it happened to arrive." So two or three people all scrambled to raise the curtain, while hearing someone reply: "Fifth Master Rui has arrived." ”
Before Zhu Ruiheng entered the door, he heard a girl laugh and said, "Liuheng, the person who gave you the silver sword has arrived, you can remember the appearance this time." When he walked in, he saw the old lady Zhu come forward, looked at him all over to make sure that there was nothing wrong, and then said, "My son, you finally have a little conscience and know that you are back." Zhu Ruiheng said: "It's the grandson's unfilial piety, which makes the old lady worried." Over the years, my grandson has been studying outside, and I miss the old lady very much. Zhu the old lady said: "How do I not know that a boy is alive and should be ambitious." But you should also come home more often, so that your mother and I can see you more. Zhu Ruiheng said yes again and again.
Zhu Ruiheng saw that there was a seven or eight-year-old child sitting next to Mrs. Zhu's seat. The girl wore a pink robe, with a string of pearls around her neck, and her face was fair, like cream, and could almost drip water. Starry eyes twinkle, and the corners of his mouth smile. The boy wore big red arrow sleeves, wore a longevity lock around his neck, his face was like a crown of jade, his sword eyebrows flew obliquely, and a pair of black eyes like autumn water were looking at him. After a little thought, I knew that this was a pair of children of the third uncle's family. Seeing Mrs. Qian sitting under Mrs. Zhu's seat, she was looking at him with concern, and she couldn't help but feel admiration in her heart, and hurriedly saluted Mrs. Qian, and was stopped by Mrs. Qian and pulled in her arms to look carefully.
I heard Zhu Qingheng smile and said, "Fifth brother, why don't you introduce us to this beautiful big sister!" The old lady also said: "Whose child is this, he looks like a real sign." Zhu Ruiheng then remembered his lover who was left out in the cold, and hurriedly pulled the girl and said, "This girl's name is Ding Bier, is... It's my crush. Ding Bier's cheeks were slightly red, and she listened to Zhu Ruiheng introduce her, "This is grandmother, this is my wife, this is my sixth brother Yuheng, and my seventh sister Qingheng", and also greeted them generously.
When Mrs. Qian first heard her son say the word "intended person", her face couldn't help but be wooden. Seeing Ding Bi'er saluting with him, he looked at her carefully. Seeing her appearance, figure, conversation, and demeanor, I can't find fault with her, but I can't help but feel that she is too slender and doesn't look like a good child.
I heard Mrs. Zhu ask her about her origin and how she and Zhu Ruiheng met. Ding Bi'er replied: "Back to the old lady, Bi'er is an orphan girl, who was adopted by her master since she was a child, and she studied under Shenmenggu. On that day, Brother Zhu went to visit Senior Sister Jingheng, and when he left, he met a group of horse thieves on the road. It just so happened that Bi'er was passing by here, and Brother Zhu and I worked together to catch the gang of horse thieves and send them to the government, and we got to know each other. ”
