Chapter 171: Jumping into the River and Escaping
Huo Liren pouted and said, "Some of them were indeed washed into Songjiang after death, but there were also deserters who deliberately jumped into the river to flee because they were afraid. It's just Songjiang in the rainstorm, and jumping into it is also a dead ......"
Qian Yijin's tears flowed out, and he raised his voice and said, "My father is brave in battle and has become a seven-rank official, he will not jump into the river to escape, he must have been washed away by the river after he died in battle." ”
Qian Sangui and his family stayed in the bedroom all the time, just to hear the news of whether they had a son. When I heard this, I also cried.
There are two meanings in Huo Liren's words, one is that he was washed away by the river after death, and the other is that he jumped into the river as a deserter. Both ways, both are dead. It's just that one is a dignified death and the other is a dignified death.
Thinking about the cruel scene, Qian Yixiu's tears also flowed out, and he pulled Qian Yijin in the past and said, "Our father is a hero, and he must have died on the battlefield." In the future, if my brother has the opportunity to go to the north, he will go to the edge of the Songjiang River to burn paper and kowtow to his father. ”
Qian Yijin nodded, and the two brothers and sisters hugged and cried.
Huo Liren saw that his mouth was about to get into trouble, so he hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, your father fought bravely and did not jump into the river to escape, he must have been washed away by the river after he died in battle." ”
In fact, Liang Jinzhao had already inquired about the situation when he returned to the capital, and also guessed that their father was washed into Songjiang. But he never dared to sue them, feeling that it was too cruel, and that it was probably better for them not to know the truth than to know the truth.
Seeing that the children of other families were crying, even sobbing sounded in the bedroom, and several people ate hastily, so they followed Wan Dazhong to Wanjia to rest. Before leaving, Liang Jinzhao confessed to Qian Yijin that he would leave them eight hares and eight pheasants, and the rest of the wild things would be sent to the Qian family.
When the courtyard returned to calm, Old Man Cai closed the gate and plugged it in.
Qian Yijin's brother and sister returned to the hall again, and the He family led Qian Xiaoyu and Cai Xiaohua to take away the bowl on the table.
Qian Sangui and Wu walked out of the bedroom together, and the little aunt also came to the hall from the right wing, and several people wiped their tears sadly. No one spoke, only soft sobs.
Cheng Yue saw that everyone was gone, and she also came to the hall. It's just that she didn't feel a little sad, she was still smiling all over her face, her eyes were smiling like crescent moons, and her steps were extremely cheerful, like a happy bird. The little lady has never been so carried away.
Seeing her like this, everyone was a little panicked, wondering if she heard Huo Liren's words and became ill again.
Qian Yixiu and Qian Yijin hurriedly pulled her over and said, "Mother, what's wrong with you?" What are you laughing at? ”
Cheng Yue held a pair of daughters and giggled, "Brother Jiang must have been a deserter and jumped into the river to escape." My mother said, Brother Jiang promised that my mother would come back, and he would definitely find a way to come back. Don't be sad, good boy, your father will be back in a few days. ”
Her words startled the people in the room.
Qian Sangui sank his face and said in a voice, "How can Man Jiang be a deserter?" Daughters-in-law must not talk nonsense. ”
When Cheng Yue saw her father-in-law yelling at herself, she was so aggrieved that her mouth was deflated, and her eyes were red.
Wu also said, "Yue'er, this is not a nonsense. If it is heard by outsiders, we will be scolded to death, and Jinwa will not be able to go out in the future. ”
Qian Yixiu pulled the little lady to sit down and persuaded, "Mother, if my father is a deserter, and there is such a thing as jumping into the river to escape, you can't talk about it again in the future." If someone hears about it, maybe they will sue our family for deceiving the court and defrauding the pension, and grandpa and brother may be dragged to prison. ”
Cheng Yue said aggrievedly, "My mother is not a fool, how can she tell outsiders?" My mother was just happy and talked to the people at home. He looked at Zhongdao unhappily, "You don't want Brother Jiang to be a hero, you don't hope that he won't jump into the river, and you hope that she will die in battle, right?" If so, Yue'er will be sad. Brother Jiang is so smart, he will definitely jump into the river and escape. ”
After speaking, he stubbornly raised his head slightly.
It's really unreasonable, and it's impossible to explain it clearly.
Qian Yijin had no choice but to coax, "Mother, we don't want our father to die." It's just that if my mother has this kind of thought, don't say it, I'm secretly happy at home. Even if you don't say it at home, if you are heard by the grandfather and grandmother, they will not only scold the mother, but also the grandfather and grandmother. ”
Cheng Yue looked at the expectant eyes of the family, nodded and agreed, "Mother is not stupid, mother does not say, secretly think about it in my heart." ”
The night was as cool as water, and the moonlight penetrated into the house, illuminating the hut hazy. Cheng Yue and Qian Yixiu were lying on the bed, neither of them asleep. It's just that one person is in a relaxed mood and one person is in a heavy mood.
Looking at the little lady who had been smirking, Qian Yixiu was distressed and sad.
"Poor and uncertain riverside bones, like a person in a spring boudoir dream."
This is the true portrayal of the little daddy and the little mother.
Cheng Yue was laughing when she fell asleep, and she dreamed all night until dawn.
Qian Yixiu was a little miserable, she didn't sleep well and had nightmares. In the dream, the river was turbulent in the heavy rain, and the blood stains stained the whole river red. On the riverbank, hideous faces, bloody swords, terrible screams, and brutal hand-to-hand combat...... The handsome little daddy fell, and a wave rushed ashore and was swept into the waves......
The next day, the Qian family got up early. Although they were a little tired, they still cheered up and prepared. About the hour, Liang Jinzhao and others came over for breakfast, and rode away with hares and pheasants.
Before leaving, Liang Jinzhao also said to Qian Yixiu's brothers and sisters, "We will return to the capital in a few days, and when we come to Ji'an Province next year, we will come to your house to play." ”
Song Huaijin said regretfully, "I'm afraid I won't be able to come next year, and when I return to Beijing, I will enter the country to study." ”
When Qian Yijin heard him say that he wanted to enter the country to study, his eyes were a little red with envy.
Qian Yixiu said with a smile, "Then I wish Song Gongzi success in his studies and nomination for the gold list in advance." ”
Song Huaijin laughed and said, "The little girl is just cute." Okay, the young master has accepted your good words. He said to Qian Yijin, "If you want to gain fame in the future, you still have to find a famous teacher." Your gentleman in a private school, enlightenment is okay, but doing university is far behind. In another year or two, when you are older, you will strive to go to Xizhou to study, where there are many good gentlemen. Or ask my second grandfather for help, the Zhou family is a good gentleman, and it is best to study there. ”
Qian Sangui looked at his grandson and nodded, "That's true." The students taught by famous teachers are much better. ”
Just look at Hongji, he is half a year younger than Qian Yijin, but his knowledge is much better than Qian Yijin.
The little monk didn't leave, he said he was going to play for another day and go back to the temple tomorrow.
With a puff of dust, more than a dozen tall horses disappeared. Since yesterday, these nobles on horseback have caused a lot of discussion among the villagers of Huaxi. I heard that the nobles went into the mountains to hunt, and when they came back, they would go to the third room of the Qian family, so they didn't dare to go to his house to investigate. Seeing that they were all gone today, Wang Lizheng and others invited Old Man Qian to come to Sanfang to find out the news.
So, Old Man Qian, Mrs. Qian, Mr. and Mrs. Qian Dagui, Mr. and Mrs. Qian Ergui and others walked to the west of the village, and of course, there were many children in Qian. As soon as they walked to the entrance of the village, they happened to meet Qian Sangui opposite.
It turned out that Qian Sangui had already guessed that relatives and friends would come to the house to find out, and there was a distinguished little monk at home, so it was inconvenient to entertain them. asked Qian Siwu to carry a rabbit, a chicken, a wild boar leg, a lamb leg, and some pigs into the water to the big house. When Qian Dagui saw that they had brought so many things to his house for a banquet, he happily led everyone back to his house.
The team returned to the village, and only Duoduo Xiaobianyou insisted on coming to the third room.
Qian Yijin and the little monk were reading under the tree, and Qian Yixiu led the little Lori to the big courtyard to see the excitement. Old man Cai, Su Erwu, and Su Sanwu are dealing with the wild things they hunted yesterday, and they want to keep some of them for their own food and give them away, and they also want to sell some of them.
It's almost noon, and many children haven't left yet, so they probably have to stay in the third room for dinner as usual.
Qian Yixiu said with a smile, "Little Master Hongji wants to eat at my house, so there is no meat to eat." ”
Qian Yiduo pouted, "Isn't it all about cooking meat when entertaining guests?" Guests who don't cook meat will be to blame. Besides, you have so much meat at home, if you don't eat it quickly, you will spoil it. ”
"Monks can't eat meat." Qian Yixiu shook his head and said.
Duoduo said wisely, "Monks can't eat meat in the temple, but they can eat it secretly outside, and the Bodhisattva can't see it anyway." ”
Then he ran to the little monk and said, "Little master, you can secretly eat meat while you are not in the temple." You taste the meat, it's fragrant. The Bodhisattva can't see it and won't blame you. ”
After saying that, he took another sip of saliva. She really wanted to convince the little monk to eat meat, because only when the little monk ate meat, she could eat meat.
When Hongji heard this, he quickly put down the book and put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, sin, sin." He said to Qian Yiduo unhappily, "The little donor must not say such things to the poor monk in the future, the poor monk will not eat secretly...... Ouch, sin, sin. ”
Qian Yixiu and Qian Yijin were about to cry when they saw that the little monk was entangled, and they couldn't bear it.
Qian Yijin frowned and said to Duoduo, "If the uncle knows that you are pampering the little master to eat meat secretly, he will definitely beat you." ”
As soon as Qian Yiduo heard this, he felt a burst of pain in his little buttocks, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense with his mouth cocked.
It was Wu who personally cooked and remediated a few vegetarian dishes with beautiful colors and flavors, but Duoduo pot friends who were not happy with meat still couldn't raise their interest. In her opinion, if she doesn't cook meat dishes, no matter how many dishes she has, she will snub the guests.
The next day, a young monk came to pick up the young monk and returned to the temple. The little monk took the autumn clothes made for him by the Qian family, a small jar of honey sauce glutinous rice lotus, a few boxes of vegetarian snacks, and a bag of dates, and was hugged by the young monk on the horse.
The little monk sat in front of the horse, and the young monk sat in the back and held him, and the things hung on both sides of the horse.
Before the little monk left, he also invited Qian Yijin and Qian Yixiu to go to the temple to see the chrysanthemums, saying that in the golden autumn season, the chrysanthemums in the temple are the best. By the way, he even asked his master to help Qian Yijin point out his knowledge, because he also heard Song Huaijin's words.
On September 27, Xiao Wang gave birth to a son, and Qian Ergui finally had a grandson. Old man Qian was happy and named the child Qian Yide.
Qian Ergui was even happier, and on the day of the third day, he held a banquet.
On this day, except for Cheng Yue, all the three rooms of the Qian family went out to the second room for dinner. Qian Yijin rested and also went. Qian Yixiu has been a guest at the second room for the first time since she crossed over.
This time, the gift from the third room was extremely heavy, and he gave Dewa a silver lock, a silver bracelet, eight champions and his younger brother's silver bills, a red silk quilt, and eight feet of fine flannel. He also sent two chickens and fifty eggs to Xiao Wang.
Tang was extremely satisfied with the etiquette of the third room, and he also closed his foul mouth and did not say anything disgusting.
Qian Manhe knew that his mother couldn't do it, and the second sister Qian Manduo, who was close to home, was lazy, so he asked someone to bring a letter to the eldest sister Qian Manzhi yesterday, asking her to go home today to help, and went to the big house to invite Sister-in-law Lu to help, and invited Mrs. Hua to come.
Qian Yixiu also brought the purple beads. She didn't come to show off that she had a little girl, she just wanted the little girl to come out and have fun. Zizhu is still an eight-year-old girl, and no matter how sensible she is, when she sees that Qian Yixiu is going out to play, her heart is also itchy.
When I came to the second room, there were already many people sitting in the courtyard. Mrs. Qian was sitting on a chair, constantly playing with crutches in her hands, showing off Jinwa's filial piety to the guests.
The old lady was so partial that she went to the provincial capital and brought her a forehead, and she didn't see her take it out all day long. Even if you wear it on your head every day, you rarely say it. And Qian Yijin gave her crutches, and even many children said that she had to speak 20 times a day. This is still a mouth-wrenching cord, and if the mouth is sharp, say it at least a hundred times.
Seeing that Qian Yijin's brothers and sisters entered the courtyard, they shouted crookedly, "Jinwa, come to Grandma." ”
Qian Yijin smiled at Mimi, took out a few pieces of candy from her purse and gave it to Mrs. Qian and said, "Grandma, this is the candy I brought to you." She also stuffed a piece of candy into Mrs. Qian's mouth.
After that, he raised his eyelids and glanced at his sister with some weakness.
Qian Yixiu gave him a big white eye. When he went out, he said, "I brought these sweets to my sister, and my sister wanted to eat them and asked my brother for them." ”
The little kid is good at coaxing.
After Mrs. Qian Liang and Mrs. Xie Huzi came, they all hurried into the kitchen to help. Only the money was full of flowers, and he was still sitting in the yard eating melon seeds and chatting. Qian Manzhi came out and called several times, but failed to call her in.
Li Acai also came, and when he saw Qian Yixiu, who was as beautiful as a little jade person, he always wanted to move forward. Qian Yixiu glared at him, and led Zizhu and Qian Yiduo and Xie Erya to the other side to play.
When the midwife took the money out, Qian Yixiu also squeezed in to see the excitement. The boy was so good-looking, white and fat.
Tang was proud, and said in an open voice, "My eldest grandson was born with seven catties and six taels, which is bigger than the two Jinwa and Xiu'er combined." ”
Wu's face sank a little when he heard this.
Xie Huzi's mother-in-law Lan said with a smile, "Although Jinwa and Xiu'er were born young, they were raised well later, and they are also like the intelligence of Third Uncle Qian and the Manjiang brothers, and they are better than others at a young age." ”
Tang also wanted to say that his grandson would be stronger in the future, but he was pulled by Qian Manzhi.
Tang was repeatedly warned by Qian Ergui yesterday that today is a big day, if she talks nonsense with an open mouth again, don't blame him for being polite. So Tang paid attention very much, and when he saw his daughter pulling her, he also stopped talking. (To be continued.) )
