Chapter 118: Inheritance (420+)
The third more
The eldest princess is a man of action, and after her birthday, she took Yaqing back to the eldest princess's mansion, and Gao Jun also moved to the Yasukuni Mansion.
"He'll think we're scared of him." Here, Yaqing is the one who knows the cloud tower best. Sitting in the car, looking at the eldest princess, he sighed softly.
"It doesn't matter what he thinks, what about you, are you really afraid of him?" The eldest princess was a little puzzled why she was so afraid, this was not like Yaqing. When she raided her home a year ago, she was not afraid; When she went to Liu's house to get the book, she was not afraid; When her father cut himself in front of her, she was not afraid; Now, it's just that he's back, so this child, who has never shown fear in front of her, really shows her fear side.
"Yes, I'm afraid, I really want to see my brother marry his sister-in-law and have a little nephew. Then I watched as our family's trees were replanted one by one. I told my eldest brother that in the future, our family tree will be planted in my father's cemetery. The eldest brother also promised that in the future, my children would also be able to plant a family tree in it. Yaqing said loudly, but these words also explained the source of her fear, she finally saved her eldest brother's life, and now that Yunta is back, all her expectations may be completely shattered, how can she not be afraid?
"Haha!" The eldest princess smiled, looking at Yaqing with a bulging little face, and felt that this child was really getting more and more beautiful. I used to think that she looked like the Gao family, but now I feel that I am afraid that the essence of the Gao family is on her, and Gao Manzong is the most beautiful, but it is not as good as the current Yaqing. In a few years, she can't imagine what this girl will become. He raised his eyebrows, but glanced at Yaqing again, "Do you know how your family's tradition of planting trees came about, and, you know, what are the results of your family's trees?" ”
"And the result?" Although Yaqing didn't know the cause, she felt that it was really nothing important, but she really didn't know that there was a result.
"I don't want to know the cause, but I want to know the effect, it's really not like your father! Your dad likes to go back to the roots. He wants to know a qiē, that is, he doesn't care about the result, and in his opinion, it doesn't matter what the result is. The eldest princess poked her gently. The reason is that this is the custom of your hometown, just like in some places in the south, when you give birth to a child, you bury wine in the ground. ”
Does Yaqing think this needs to be understood? Do you want to tell her about it? However, she did not speak, and waited quietly. Since the eldest father said it, there must be a reason, his father went too quickly and too quickly, even if this year, she has a lot of habits of making up for the Gao family, but the core place, Gao Jun doesn't know. What is inheritance, it is not a family rule, it can be taken out and seen at any time, many things. It is passed down slowly over a lifetime, and the specific what it is, the inheritors of each generation do not know it, but they just accept, abide by, and pass it on.
The eldest princess smiled again, and Xiao Yaqing looked like a good student waiting for class at this time. Leaning lightly, she thought of her mentor again, Mrs. Gao. Regarding the inheritance of the family tree, when he mentioned it, it was because of the death of his wife.
My wife passed away, and they were both young at the time. Because my mother is my mother's friend, it is precisely because I am a friend that I think of asking her to go to the Gao family, and my mother trusts her friend. That's going to happen. My wife also lived up to this trust, and she regarded herself as her own. She also has a very deep affection for her wife, she can't really keep her filial piety, but her wife is going back to her hometown for burial, she has to send it, and told her mother. hurriedly left the palace.
Walking into the gate, in the main courtyard, Taishi and Gao Yang were asking people to dig trees, and Gao Man knelt on the side and cried. The subordinates were careful to dig out a piece of soil, and after digging it out, they used hemp rope to tie the soil and the roots of the tree tightly. It was my mother's camphor tree, a camphor tree that was not too big, but it was spring, and the camphor was faintly blooming, and the air was filled with that elegant fragrance. She felt as if she had returned to her mother's arms.
"Why did you dig up your master's tree?" She took Gao Yang's hand and said that, her tears also fell out.
The old lady said that she said what she said to Yaqing just now, she didn't know why the teacher said this, she was the same as Yaqing at this time, she didn't know what the teacher meant, how did she say it to the source. The old lady gently pressed her hair with her broad palm. Slowly talked about the true origin of the Gao family tree.
After coming to the capital, the ancestors of the Gao family did not buy property in Beijing. With a little money, except for buying books, the rest went back to his hometown to buy land. The successive heads of the Gao family used most of the proceeds from these sacrificial fields in their hometown to run a school in their hometown. Our ancestors did great things, their hometown, where even girls could go to school, they had a rich folk culture and a flourishing scholarly fragrance. The Gao family is cultivating real readers and cultivating a hometown of reading.
But because of this, the Gao family did not have the money to buy a big village in the suburbs, so they could plant the trees of their ancestors for their families, so when everyone passed away, the tree representing the family would follow their coffins back to their hometown and be planted next to their graves.
It is no longer possible to know when the mother of the family began to plant trees. No one knows why, but the men are pines and cypresses, and the women's and girls' trees are chosen by themselves. The choice of each generation of housemothers is different, but one thing is the same, they all agree with an important part of the Gao family's century-old heritage.
"For them, the meaning of planting a family tree is your family's values, ten years of trees, and a hundred years of people. In fact, each tree represents their ideals. The eldest princess sighed softly, "Since then, I have long wanted to visit your hometown and go to the cemetery where the heads of the family have been buried. So this is the reason why your men only grow pines and cypresses, so that what we see is a piece of pine and cypress? ”
"Why didn't the eldest brother sue me?" Yaqing was dumbfounded, but immediately stood up and hit her head on the roof of the car. I have to say that the people in the eldest princess's family are well-trained, and as soon as they heard the sound, they immediately parked. Although no one asked what happened, the sudden stop did not make the people in the car feel the slightest discomfort, if it was in that ordinary car, I was afraid that at this time, Yaqing would fall to the ground.
The eldest princess shook her head, reprimanded her gaffe with her eyes, and saw that she was seated again, and gently tapped the car board, and the car moved again.
"Your father's tree, I let people move to their side. What a strange woman, the phoenix tree is a tree in the south, it is difficult to live, I doubt that it can bloom. I think that the wives of the previous heads of the family must have thought that it was too monotonous to have only pines and cypresses in the woods, so they added their own colors. So your kids can't go in there. Plant yourself into your husband's family, and then plant your own greatest expectations for the children for your husband's family, and then watch them grow up little by little, slowly, let yourself grow old little by little, and finally live in this world instead of yourself. This is the inheritance of the Gao family! (To be continued.) )
PS: Okay, it's finally finished, and it feels good not to be in debt, and it's really a wooden ass.
