Chapter 3: Goodbye (II)
The curtain embroidered with Yunfeng was raised high, and with the wind whistling with snow in the air, a handsome middle-aged man with a long body, a white face and bright eyes, wearing a scarlet straight body and straight boots, strode into the house, this is the current Lin'an Hou, and also one of the three princes, the prince Taibao, He Yan.
Then came the third master He Xian, compared to the eldest brother, the scholar was more angry, his face was not so outstanding, and there was a little solemnity between his eyebrows. After entering the main hall, he unexpectedly knelt down, bowed his head and kowtowed to Mrs. Tai, and said loudly with joy, choking and eagerness, and loudly: "My son is not filial..."
The little characters all stood up and bowed to He Yan and He Huan, who had entered.
"Hurry, hurry! The second one, hurry up and pull the third master up! Mrs. He covered her face with her sleeves, and with a crying voice, she got up from the chair of the immortal turtle crane Huang Nanmu, and pointed anxiously.
The second master, He Huan, who is nearly thirty years old, looked a little weak and swollen, and hurriedly leaned over when he heard the words.
I heard He Yan, who was standing beside Mrs. He, laugh and said, "Third brother is filial, I just got off the boat yesterday, and Badeng Lane hasn't been cleaned up yet, so I came to say hello early this morning." Mother knows in her heart that you have made her sad like this! ”
The third master had no choice but to put on the congratulatory ring and get up excitedly.
Xingzhao lowered his head and stood respectfully at the end, his eyes fixed on the tip of the pendulum of the self-striking bell that was resting next to the table of the Eight Immortals, swaying back and forth. A good scene of mother's love and filial piety, the third uncle's biological mother Aunt Cui has been proud for many years, as soon as the old marquis died, Cui's died in the coffin in the mourning hall, the third uncle could not have a pimple in his heart, if he was not diaphragm, where would the old marquis die, he insisted on opening the ancestral hall and moved out...
Now it seems that the third uncle has been away for three years and has honed it, and he really can afford the eight characters that were evaluated by the eunuchs in his previous life, "If the words are sincere, the bending and stretching are appropriate".
Xing Zhaozheng thought a little funny, but suddenly heard a cool voice behind him: "The letter that was sent only five days ago said that the third uncle would come back today, and when my mother followed the letter, she was taken aback!" ”
As he spoke, a round-faced woman wearing a gold-patterned peacock autumn apricot armor and a bluestone inlaid gold wishful hairpin was inserted in her bun, and a woman with a melon seed face and willow eyebrows was wearing a green and blue dress, carrying a high bun and a fine hairband with colored threads, and a noblewoman who looked obviously younger, followed by a purple boy and a girl in red.
The one who said this was the second lady in Qingbi's dress, Liu.
Xingzhao's heart was sour, and he was very happy, raised his head and looked at the round face with a blessed face, and when he laughed, there was a shallow vortex of the round-faced woman, and he wanted to pounce on him and cry and hug his mother, and tell her all the pain of the previous life.
After the second lady said this, Mrs. Tai leaned at the head of the case and raised her eyebrows invisibly and smiled, the high-haired woman who was being held, but the third lady He was heartbroken, if she really missed her relatives, where would she return to Beijing a few days before she came back to repair the book and finalize the itinerary?
"From Huguang to Dingjing, Sister Qing is uncomfortable on the boat, walking and stopping along the way, the third lady is afraid to write a letter back early, but it will not arrive at that time, so that the big guy will be happy..." All I thought about was Dingjing, Lin'an Houfu, my mother, my two sisters-in-law and my nephews and nephews....It's really hard to be alone outside and have no one to help you..."
Seeing that Mrs. Tai's face was quite moved, the third lady breathed a sigh of relief, stood up and beckoned back, and called: "Brother Yun, Sister Qing, come over and bow to grandmother!" ”
Mrs. He smiled and took the little girl's hand, but looked at the calm boy in his early tens, turned his head and smiled with the third lady and said, "The children eat in the morning and grow in the evening, but in a flash, they have grown so big!" ”
He also called on Zhang's mother to take out a woven gold walnut ten brocade lotus bag that had been prepared, a gold silk lotus bag embroidered with a bottle inserted into the halberd, the gold one was given to the girl, and the gold one was given to the boy, one of which was filled with Hetian jade Ruyi box, and the other was filled with red gold and jade locks, all of which were excellent meanings.
After the two children thanked the reward, the old lady hugged one in one hand, pointed to the small characters of Xingzhao, and introduced them one by one: "This is your uncle's brother Jing, this is your second uncle's third sister Sister Ming, this is your fourth sister Sister Zhao, seventh brother Shi'er, your sixth sister Sister Xiao... I haven't seen you in three years, but don't be unfamiliar..."
The children are brothers and sisters to each other, and the affection of sisters and sisters is affectionately called.
"Mother, when the third brother returns from a long trip, he must first go to the ancestral ancestral hall and inform him." Lin Anhou tied his hands behind his back, looked at the bustle of this room, and then looked at the singing and pretentiousness, and then returned to the solemn face of the third master He Xian, interrupting loudly.
Mrs. He nodded and said, "That's the truth." The men went to the ancestral hall first to inform their ancestors that no matter how good it was, the third master of the He family always came back..."
"Our women's family will go to the warm pavilion to set up cloth dishes, so as to avoid the wind and cold!" The second lady looked happy and affectionately held her sister-in-law Fang.
Fang Shi glanced at Mrs. Tai, and saw that the old man was getting up with a smile, Xing Zhao and Xing Ming hurriedly stepped forward left and right, so they pulled back the second lady, turned around and greeted the third lady gently, and the group of ladies went to the East Warm Pavilion.
After Mrs. He sat down, the ladies sat down in turn. When the men returned, they washed their hands and mouths through the screen, and the meal was very happy.
Sending off the three-room family, Xingzhao walked in the corridor with Mrs. He in his arms, leaving only Zhang's mother to wait, and the two columns of servants followed from a distance, and there was only the sound of snow falling on the green brick floor in his ears.
"Ahh Mrs. He called in a deep voice, and the appearance of the kind and peaceful old lady in the morning had been replaced by a calm and solemn appearance.
Xingzhao rarely saw such a lady, was stunned for a moment, and then respectfully agreed: "Yes, grandmother." ”
"Today, he Xingxiao has done a good job under the persuasion of both soft and hard." The old man said slowly, and glanced at the little granddaughter's lowered eyebrows, which had shown a little clear meaning: "You are my granddaughter, smart and generous, and I like that your personality is not as soft and cowardly as your mother, and not as harsh and cold as your father... I've been indulging you... But I've been worried about you. ”
Xingzhao pursed her lips, her grandmother in her previous life did not tear it apart, and said such things to her clearly, she looked up at Mrs. Tai a little blankly, not knowing what the old lady was going to say.
The little girl's eyes were clear and pure, and Mrs. Tai finally laughed lightly: "I'm worried about you, too rigid and easy to break, and I don't know how to be flexible." What the idea of the six girls today, I know. Aunt Wan counted the days to tear apart in front of the third room, forcing me to have to talk to your mother, your mother has always been afraid of me, and it is hard to guarantee that she will not be sad and sad secretly. ”
In the last sentence, there is some helplessness. Xingzhao nodded, seeing that his grandmother's forehead was a little lower, he stood on tiptoe and helped to sort it out lightly, and said softly: "Although I admitted in disguise that the sixth sister's clothes were problematic, I used filial piety to press her, and softly took a step back to let the needlework room apologize and rework..."
Mrs. Tai's eyes were gratified: "It is not valuable to find another way and speak smartly." What is rare is that you are willing to give a step, and you didn't make trouble according to your previous temperament, and you used this to take the army of Wan's and the six girls. ”
Xingzhao bent the corners of his mouth and smiled, his heart was a little surging, but he didn't speak, knowing that Mrs. Tai still had something to say.
Sure enough, Mrs. Tai stopped, rubbed the turquoise broken ring on her index finger, and muttered for a long time before turning her head and saying, "Sanfang resents Lin'an Hou Mansion, but is willing to be low-minded. I hate He Xian deeply, and I am willing to play a happy scene with him. ”
"When the old marquis went, He Xian was still a young man who was not deeply involved in the world, and he insisted on pulling the clan uncle to open the ancestral hall to split the family. Now He Xian can bend and stretch, he has been conscientious and conscientious in Huguang for three years, and his political performance evaluation is only a middle, and he waited for half a year to wait for the appointment, do you know why? ”
Xingzhao blinked and shook his head, but in his heart he thought that it always had something to do with the Lin'an Hou Mansion.
Mrs. Tai smiled with a little contempt: "Because he made a fuss and went out of the house!" thought that he could enter the cabinet and worship the prime minister with his own strength and get ahead, but he didn't know that others had raised him and held him before, because his surname was He! He Lao Tzu is Xuanhe's Lin'an! ”
"So the third uncle has to be low and humble now, and get back into love with Lin'anhou Mansion?" Xingzhao thought very quickly, and then answered.
Mrs. Tai lowered her eyes, and her eyes touched the little mustache that her granddaughter was wearing with complicated eyes: "Judging the situation, don't force it, it's not to suppress your nature, it's to live better..."
He Xingzhao didn't speak, he reached out to pick up the snowflakes falling outside the corridor, and saw that the ice fell in his palm, and it didn't take long for it to melt and become a little water.
Xingzhao shook his head, threw his thoughts out, and said loudly: "Auntie knows!" ”
He looked intently at the eaves of Zhuwa buried by ice and snow, and sighed in his heart.
It's going to be a new world.
