39. Farewell
A few days after the ancestor worship, the emperor's eldest grandson was ready to leave for Beijing. The Nangong family naturally prepared to return to Jinling, and early in the morning, Nangong Mo went up the mountain to say goodbye to the master. Now that the uncle and brother are not there, only the master is still a little worried in the end. The old man sat on the stone bench in front of the house, watching the apprentice tell him over and over again where to put the silver ticket, where to put the medicinal herbs, and where to buy food and use, and couldn't help but hold his head in pain.
Apprentice, your master and I are not stupid. was dizzy and dizzy, and the old man said weakly.
Nangong Mo glanced at someone lightly, who was the person who was almost detained in the restaurant last year and couldn't come back?
The old man suddenly wilted, and muttered in a low voice: Was it an accident, I accidentally lost the silver ticket.
You also accidentally forgot where your apprentice lived, so they couldn't even find a place to collect the debt, so they had to take you there. Nangong Mo is cool and authentic.
I came back on my own.
That's right, sneak away. I still owe money to other people's wine, and the owner of the restaurant has been pushing you out for half a year.
The old man is dissatisfied, you girl, do you want to remember this little thing in the next life? They all said it was an accident!
Master! Nangong Mo frowned, looked at the old man for a long time, sighed and said: You live alone... Why don't you come with me to Jinling? Wait until Uncle Shi comes back? The old man waved his hand again and again, not to go, not to go! If we want to go to Jinling, what are we doing here?
Nangong Mo stared at him for a long time, and then said: You live by yourself and be careful. I put some silver tickets at Xiao Qi Niang at the bottom of the mountain, if you don't have money, go there and get some, don't always take things to change, you don't know if you're cheated. Thinking of the night pearl that the master gave to Wei Junmo last time, Nangong Mo felt a throbbing pain in his heart, Uncle Shi should come back in two months, remember to write to me.
Girl, you're so long-winded. You're only sixteen, and you're more verbose than an old man like me. The old man said with a bitter face, looking at his apprentice's worried appearance, the old man got up and patted the apprentice and said: Don't worry, your master and I have lived for so many years, can you still take care of yourself? Go back with you obediently, Master, I think the kid the emperor chose for you is not bad. Who made you refuse to marry your senior brother, otherwise we wouldn't have to bother. Girls always have to find a good family when they grow up, but there is really no man worthy of the ink girl in this place where they live.
Nangong Mo couldn't cry or laugh, Master, I am a senior brother and an elder brother. When she just came back with Master and Uncle Shi, her relationship was actually not very good, but fortunately, she was always accompanied by her senior brother. In the past few years, she has long regarded her senior brother as another relative in addition to her eldest brother and younger sister.
The old man waved his hand and said: I know, I know, that's why I let you go back with you. How can a girl grow up and not get married? Are you your brother? Girls don't grow old.
Master, are you discriminating against my gender?
I am. The old man is unceremonious, your senior brother is forty years old and there is a little girl to want, and you have the ability to be forty years old and a young man wants it.
There's nothing to talk about with this weird-tempered old man!
Seeing that the apprentice was angry, the old man hurriedly smiled, took out a box like a baby and said: This is the dowry that your uncle saved for you, take it with you. Don't let people underestimate our family.
Nangong Mo opened it and was stunned when he saw the things inside. A sandalwood box that is not too large, containing all kinds of gemstones, pearls and a few superb jade pendants. In addition, there is a stack of silver tickets pressed under the gem, although I don't look closely, but just look at the thickness of the amount to know that the number is not small.
Master, this ......
The old man stuffed the thing into her arms without hesitation, and said: This is given to you by your uncle, and if you don't want him to be angry, you will take it obediently. Even if you don't accept it now, you still have to send it to you when he comes back, and it's a lot of trouble to run around. I don't think the stepmother in your family is a good thing, and if the dowry is not good-looking in the future, some of you will cry.
Master, I am not short of money. Even if the Nangong family doesn't give her a penny, she will definitely not be short of money. What's more, there are things that the Zheng family doesn't want to give because they can't be enough, even if it's Nangong Huai, don't think about pit the things that the Meng family left to Nangong Tilt. She would rather exchange all those things for silver to fill the river, and it would not be cheaper for the Zheng family and Nangong Huai.
The old man glared at her fiercely and said, "Elder give, don't give up!" Have you been taught in vain all these years?
It was rare to hear the master dragging the text, Nangong Mo took the things very face-saving, and decided to press a few more silver tickets in the dark corner of the room later, and several restaurants in the city should also be taken care of, lest the old man starve himself to death when the uncle came back late. Seeing Nangong Mo accept it, the old man danced happily, wiping his tears while sighing: The girl who was raised by the master with a handful of and urine is about to become someone else's family in a blink of an eye. Whining......
With a roll of his eyes, Nangong Mo said angrily: Master, I was already eleven years old when I apprenticed. So, a handful of and a handful of urine or something is actually a senior brother, right? In addition, the master she originally wanted to worship was her uncle.
In vain... I know how to bully Master... is as annoying as his junior brother, and his nephew is the most well-behaved.
Nangong Mo grinned, Jinling is only seven or eight days away from Danyang, and the apprentices will often come back to be filial to their master.
Hearing this, the old man was suddenly shocked, good man, often don't need it, it's enough to come back once in three years and five years.
…… So, Master, you can't wait for me to leave quickly, you were clearly crying with joy just now, right?
Saying goodbye to the master who cried and cried and repeatedly showed that he was reluctant to be a good disciple, when Nangong Mo went down the mountain and returned to Nangong's house, everyone in Nangong's family was already preparing to leave. The family gathered in the hall and waited for Nangong Mo alone, and when they saw Nangong Mo coming in from outside, Nangong Huai's face suddenly sank, and he was about to set off, what else was running around? The whole family is waiting for you here!
Nangong Mo raised his eyebrows and said lightly: Go and say goodbye to your neighbors.
Sister, you are the eldest lady of the Nangong family, what do you have to say to those rural villagers? Nangong Shu covered her lips and smiled, her eyes were indescribably contemptuous.
Nangong Mo said indifferently: Thirty years ago, my father was also the rural village husband you said. Thirty years ago, Nangong Huai was no different from any man in the entire Xifeng Village, if he hadn't followed the founding of the country today, the current Nangong family would also throw corpses in the ground. How noble does Nangong Shu think she is?
What does this mean, big sister? My father is a famous founding general, how can he be compared to those rural villagers? Nangong Shujiao said.
Nangong Mo smiled coldly and said: You mean that my father is not surnamed Nangong, not from Xifeng Village? Most of the people in Xifeng Village are surnamed Nangong, and they can be more or less related to the number of generations. Even if the direct lineage of the Nangong family is now embedded in Jinling, the ancestral hall of the Nangong family and the genealogy are still in Xifeng Village. It's just that Nangong Huai's meaning is about to separate and open another genealogy.
That's enough! I don't know which nerve Nangong Huai was touched by the quarrel between the two daughters, Nangong Huai said with a gloomy face: Since you are ready, let's go! If you make any more noise, you will ground me!
Nangong Shu looked at Nangong Huai, who looked gloomy, and bit the corner of her lip a little unwillingly and closed her mouth.
