Chapter 105: The Old Man
All day on the fifteenth, the housekeepers who went in and out of each room asked about the Lantern Festival in Ming'er, not only the girls, but also the boys.
Shanbao was a little undecided: "Go all, won't the house be empty." ”
Jin Se gave her a message: "Go and ask the second young master." ”
It's time to ask Zu Gongluo, Shanbao called Ah Ke to invite Zu Gongluo, and after a while, Ah Ke came back and said: "Liuli said that the second young master is out." ”
Shanbao suddenly panicked, she scolded herself for being useless, no wonder Wen Wanyi ridiculed her for not being able to leave her grandfather for a moment, without this reliance, she really felt that her ability was stretched to the limit when she was in charge of the huge ancestral family, and when she saw that it was time for you, it was dark early at this time, not to mention gloomy, I heard that the lanterns on the street had been almost arranged, where did the grandfather go? How should he decide if he doesn't come back? Whoever is not allowed to go will be dissatisfied, but when they all go out, the house is empty, what if there is an emergency.
Li Qingzhao didn't care, "I went out and came back after a while, what can I do, isn't there still some old mamma and old buddy." ”
Shanbao felt that it was also such a reason, so she agreed to the girls and boys in each room, and then looked at the window again and again, the sky was getting darker and darker, and she thought in her heart, where did Zu Gongluo go?
Zu Gongluo left the house for a night and a day, not for anything else, in order to find his mother's personal maid Yanshu, the emperor lived up to his heart, he really found the Yanshu, fifty miles away from Lei Gong Town, Zhanggezhuang, an adobe house in the west is the home of Yanshu, and now she is still alone, relying on sewing and mending for people to make a living.
In the afternoon of this day, Yanshu wrapped the sewn clothes in a big bag and prepared to send them to her employer, pushed open the door and suddenly saw a person, she took a few steps back. looked at Zu Gongluo in horror, thinking of another person more than 20 years ago.
Zu Gong stepped into the threshold with a slight leg pulled, and said to Yanshu: "If you guess correctly, you are Aunt Yanshu." ”
Yanshu was still in a trance, and after a while, he came back to his senses, and said, "Don't dare to be, who is this son?" ”
Grandpa paced a few steps in front of her without hesitation. Lowered her eyes and looked at her hand that was clutching the burden. There was a hazy smile at the corner of his mouth, and his tone was extremely soft: "My aunt doesn't know me, why is she so panicked?" ”
Yanshu raised his head sharply. Suddenly, he lowered his head again, and covered the gray hair that fell from his sideburns with his hand, Qing Lingling smiled: "If a stranger suddenly breaks into Gongzi's house, he must be afraid of Gongzi." Instead, he said, "Oh." Childe will not be afraid, because Childe is a big man. And the old woman has no power to restrain the chicken, don't say that a big man breaks in, even a cat or a dog breaks in, and she is so scared. ”
The fierce son behind Zu Gongluo was furious: "Bold." Dare to compare my second young master with cats and dogs. ”
Yanshu suddenly understood, and he was at a loss.
Zu Gong waved his hand slightly to signal Mengzi Xiu to shout, and then said to Yanshu: "Auntie, can you invite me to sit in the house?" ”
Yanshu hesitated. So he turned sideways and invited him inside.
Grandpa walked in and thought, she didn't know why she still invited home? This is counterintuitive. It shows that even if she hasn't seen herself, she still seems familiar, and her appearance is not like Zu Baishou's, nor like her mother, so Yan Shufang's stunned gaze when she saw herself was probably because she remembered someone.
Entered the house, although it is not a family with four walls, the life is still very hard, the furnishings in the house are extremely simple, a fire kang, a kang table, and the rest is only a wooden cabinet made of rough wood, Zu Gong's eyes lit up, he saw a parrot green silk jacket on the kang table, it should be a man's clothes, and the same silk jacket is a pink and tender Luo Yi, this should be a woman's clothes, Yanshu is a woman, the silk jacket will not be her clothes, the pink Luo Yi should be owned by a young woman, and it should not be her thing.
Yanshu found that his grandfather was looking at the clothes thoughtfully, so he hurriedly rushed over and picked up the two clothes and stuffed them into the cabinet, and said in a panic: "It's a mess, it makes Gongzi laugh." ”
Grandpa retracted his gaze slightly, and only said: "Although my aunt's house is simple, it is also clean, why not laugh." ”
Yanshu put the burden in his hand on the kang, grabbed a few rags and wiped the edge of the kang, asked his grandfather to sit down, and said: "Just because it is simple and easier to pick up, the son should not call me aunt again, the old woman can't afford it." ”
Zu Gongluo didn't sit down, took out a picture scroll from his arms, but didn't open it for Yanshu to see, stared at Yanshu's expression, and said extremely solemnly: "I am Bai Suxin's son." ”
Yanshu's body shook, Zu Gongluo stretched out his hand to support her, Yanshu pushed away Zu Gongluo's hand, and smiled awkwardly: "I'm old, useless, I've always been dizzy lately, I'm afraid that the limit is coming, I don't know who Bai Suxin is." ”
Grandpa slowly opened the scroll and placed it flat in front of Yanshu's eyes, a woman in the painting was his mother Bai Suxin, he said calmly: "Aunt shouldn't even know the old friend, if you say you don't know her, she will also be heartbroken in that desolate place." ”
Yanshu stared at the painting, suddenly his lips trembled, and then trembled, and called "Miss" and knelt on the ground, tears like a pour, the former people have taken the yellow crane to go, and there is no sadness here.
Seeing her mourning, the grandfather couldn't help but wet the corners of his eyes, returned his hand to hand over the painting to Mengzi to put away, picked up the wild goose book, the heart was like the autumn wind swept by, I don't know whether it was a kill or refreshing, complex feelings entangled, maybe on the one hand was the joy of seeing his mother's deceased, on the other hand, he sighed that his mother's fragrance was lost, and he helped the wild goose book to sit on the kang, and said: "Today is the Shangyuan Festival, does my aunt know what day it is?" ”
Yanshu covered his mouth and continued to cry suppressedly: "Yes, it's Miss's Yangshou." ”
Grandpa took a deep breath and tried to calm down, he was here to find out the truth about his mother's death, and he also came to check his own background, so he had to stay calm, and said, "It's rare that my aunt still remembers." ”
Yanshu was sad and sad: "Miss, she is a blessed person, and my aunt is so kind to her, she still left." ”
Aunt Lao, of course, refers to Zu Baishou.
Grandpa was slightly upset and asked, "Doesn't my aunt know that my mother was killed by my father?" ”
Yan Shu's face was shocked, and he shook his head: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense, my aunt is good to Miss, Miss died of postpartum paralysis, I was serving her at the time, and I know this clearly." ”
Grandpa thought of Guo Mule slightly, it can be said that he should believe the words of these old people, but why is he still entangled in this matter? Was it just because when I was five years old, I saw a woman in the back garden who looked very much like my mother?
He suddenly asked: "Does my aunt have any relics of my mother, there is not much left in the family, my father said that it is inevitable to touch the scene if he keeps it, so most of them are burned, and I, as a son, don't even have anything to hang my mother. ”
Yanshu hesitated a little and said, "Yes." ”
As he spoke, he opened the cabinet and took out the pink robe.
Grandpa asked casually: "The parrot green silk jacket placed in the same place, isn't it also my mother's relic?" “
The geese stiffened. (To be continued.) )
