My biological mother died when I was still an infant, and the cause of her death was kept secret in the entire Hou Mansion. When I first remembered, I seemed to sleep at noon, and the nurse was beside me, touching my head, and sighing with the maids in her mouth: "Don't look at Brother De'er was born in a rich family, but he is also a pitiful, his mother is really ruthless, so angry and gone, let this child do in the future, Hou Ye hurts him again, but he is also a man, and he will eventually have a career to stand outside, where can he always take care of him, tsk"

I got up at noon and went to ask my father about my mother, what is "angry and gone", my father is a kind and smiling person, that is the first time I saw him with cold eyebrows, and asked in a cold voice: "Which slave who is not long-eyed chews maggots in front of his brother!" "I was ordered to be taken out to play, and I slipped back quietly to see the nurse and the maids kneeling in front of my father and slapping their mouths, and no one dared to mention my mother's affairs in front of me after that. After two or three days, my father led me to his study, and looked at a painting hanging on the wall, which showed a woman in a pale green shirt, with a crow bun and a pink face, bowing her head and smiling, holding a lotus flower in her hand, and my father said, "She is your mother" and was speechless, her face was full of sadness and melancholy, and she touched my head one by one, and I didn't dare to ask if I was full of words, but I looked at the woman in the painting in a daze, and I couldn't think that she was a living person.

I have brothers and sisters, all of whom treat me very coldly, ignore me, only my father and the servants who serve me around me in the whole house treat me best, I quietly treat the nurse as a mother in my heart, and the maid Bi Cicada who serves me as a mother, but I feel that it is not right, they are not half similar to the woman in the painting, until I saw Uncle Lin's concubine Chen Xianglan, a heart fell down steadily - my mother should be her appearance.

Xianglan treated me very well, spoke to me gently, cared for and was considerate, made me clothes, shoes and hats with her own hands, taught me to write and read, and listened to my thoughts. Once, the second brother who came out of the former room bullied me and scolded me: "A slave is born and raised by a slave, and my own mother is also a cheap seed!" I was furious when I heard it, because I couldn't beat him, I picked up a stone and slapped it on his head while he was unprepared, he cried on the spot, and the maid and the maid quickly pulled away, and my father was not at home, and the eldest brother came to judge the matter, because the second brother was not reasonable, and I was young, so I couldn't do it.

I happily told Xianglan about this, and I wanted her to praise me, but Clinker Xianglan actually grimaced her face and said, "Go to the corner of the wall and think about the past." ”

I was stunned, blinking, pouting, not knowing what I was doing wrong, so I had to look at her with pitiful little eyes. Xianglan said: "You have to think about what you are wrong, and I will ask you later." ”

Xianglan is my mother in my heart, I don't want to make her angry, so I sighed a little, put down the small wooden knife in my hand, my head couldn't be lowered, miserable, slumped my shoulders, barely dragged my steps forward, my feet seemed to be tied to two chains, and each step was extremely heavy. I walked slowly enough, walked two steps and looked back with expectant little eyes, and saw Xianglan raising her eyebrows and a calm face, only then did she pout and turn her head, the whole person hung her head down, drooped her head in a sluggish manner, and put her head against the wall, sinking in the shadows.

I don't know how long, but I heard Xianglan say, "Okay, come here." ”

I breathed a sigh of relief, turned around and ran to hug Xianglan's arm: "I didn't speak or move just now, I was very well-behaved!" ”

Xianglan touched my head: "Brother De'er is the bravest, like a manly husband, he does something wrong and carries it himself." ”

As soon as I heard it, I was happy: "Really? Just like my dad? ”

Xianglan immediately nodded: "Yes, Brother De'er is a little old man." ”

"Oh!" I immediately straightened my shoulders.

"Then you sue me, what is wrong with you?"

As soon as I heard this, I lowered my head again, and twisted my hands back and forth, I really didn't feel that I was at fault, and I couldn't speak for a long time, but I only heard Xianglan say: "Your mistake was originally a matter of quarrels, but you hurt people." Today, we must remember that no matter how ugly others speak in the future, we must restrain ourselves, not get angry, not fight, if you miss and hurt others because of impulse, and cause a big disaster, you will regret it at that time. ”

"But he scolded my mother, I couldn't help it"

Xianglan pulled me to me, looked into my eyes and said, "Gossip is everyone's mouth, we can't control it." Ten thousand feet of high mountains, no matter how much you scold, it will not lose an inch of height; Thousands of miles of the sea, no amount of slander will reduce a drop. There were only small leaves, and ordinary people blew and flew away. You have to settle your heart, like a mountain, whatever others say can be as if it were not moving, like the sea, no matter how ugly it is, it can be accommodated. I couldn't hear others say a few words of sourness, and the whole person jumped up and drew his sword and crossbow, seemingly not to lose face and save face, but in fact, his confidence and determination were not enough. You can't even afford a few sour words, what big things can you accomplish in the future? ”

She and her party said, and the party twisted a towel to wipe my face, and whispered: "Your mother is the strongest and most upright person, and she will be happy when you are angry, and if she is still there, she will not like you to hurt people with stones." The more deliberately sour others are, the more you ignore them, the more you have to be calm, the more you have to fight for yourself, and the battle is not in your mouth and fists, understand? ”

I leaned into Xianglan's arms and nodded, feeling my heart iron out all at once.

Xianglan stretched out her finger and whispered in my ear: "Then we have made an appointment, no matter how ugly you hear others say next time, you can't do anything, let alone scold like a shrew, huh?" I said "um", stretched out my little thumb and hooked pandan.

Later, whenever I heard gossip, I remembered Xianglan's words, which could quickly extinguish the hatred, let go calmly, and only silently fight, how many years later I recalled this incident, and suddenly understood what Xianglan taught me that day.

Later, my father married Uncle Lin's fourth sister to fill the house, and Xianglan became my aunt. I don't have much affection for my stepmother, but I just promised it on my face, and she didn't embarrass me. My aunt still missed me, and when she returned to the capital, she took me to take me, or sent someone to take me to Jinling to live for half a year.

I like my uncle and aunt, quiet and warm, my uncle is like a tyrannical character, like a cat wandering in the sun in front of my aunt, my aunt gave birth to two boys and a girl in his life, and my uncle has never taken a concubine in his life. I remember that once a subordinate named Han Guangye sent a stunning beauty, and my uncle actually forced it to me, and patted me on the shoulder and said: "Boy, it's time for you to know the people, your Lao Tzu's vision is not good, look at what the maid next to you looks like, uncle loves you, give you a good one." ”

I couldn't cry or laugh, I was so embarrassed that I was at a loss, and I shirked incoherently: "It's still my uncle who keeps it, and my uncle keeps it."

Uncle hehe smiled: "I'll stay, your aunt doesn't say it, and it will be uncomfortable in my heart." He sighed again, "You haven't been on the battlefield yet, you don't understand, what is the lifelong friendship on the battlefield, I have a lifelong friendship with your aunt, not to mention that I love her in my heart, and I can't bear to make her uncomfortable." Besides, those shallot-like girls are fresh in their eyes, and they don't have any meaning to say anything about their sophistication, experience and knowledge, if you really want to iron it in your heart, or the one who sits in front of the bed in the house, you kid will understand when you find a kind person in the future. Saying like a love saint, he patted me on the shoulder again, with a look of "I'm from here, you're still too tender, you don't understand, no one can understand me", and a line of long sighs and a line of ups and downs went to find my aunt.

The eldest son born to his aunt is called Lin Kuo, who looks like he came out of a manuscript with his uncle, and his temperament is extremely introverted and steady. When Brother Kuo was eight years old, his aunt gave birth to a daughter, named Lin Junrong, who was born with Yuxue cute, and his uncle was very rare, Sister Rong was enlightened when she was five years old, and she learned the piano every day. Often the big horse golden knife sits on the Taishi chair in the Autumn Cutting Pavilion, clapping his legs with his hands and shaking his head. When Sister Rong played more and more decently, her aunt gave birth to her youngest son, Lin Xian. The uncle said proudly: "My two sons, Lin Kuo and Lin Xian, are rich and free, and the meaning of this name is deeper." "Brother Xian has been naughty like a monkey since he was a child, he can't be idle for a moment, he looks more like his aunt, and his temperament is like his uncle.

I was very close to my uncle's three children, as if they were my own brother and sister. On the day of Sister Rong's wedding, Brother Kuo'er led the troops in the southwest and didn't have time to rush back, so I took Sister Rong as a brother to get married, my uncle has been red-eyed, and secretly wiped the corners of his eyes, my aunt whispered that my uncle didn't close his eyes all night, and I always regretted that I should have found a son-in-law who was inverted, and I shouldn't be greedy for vanity to marry Tanhualang.

When I reached the age of talking about marriage, I have already made a history of command from the four products, and I have completely made a name for myself with a sword and a sword. My stepmom wants to meddle in my family affairs. My father had a bland and estranged relationship with her, and the military affairs in the town were busy, and he rarely returned home, so he took me with him to experience training in the army. The stepmother can't either, she gave birth to two daughters, and finally the third gave birth to a son but died halfway, everyone advised her to plan early, she could give birth to the better, if she can't give birth in the future, it is always good to choose one of the children below, and recognize it in her name in the future. She picked and chose me, and wanted to find me a competent Yue family. When my aunt knew about this, she looked at Zhang Luo in person and asked her uncle to give the chosen candidate to his father, who agreed at that time. I married the daughter of Qiao Hanlin of the Hanlin Academy, Qiao's birth is beautiful and pretty, and extremely virtuous, lively and smiling, the subset of history, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are also slightly familiar, and the married life is also very satisfactory.

In the second year of my marriage, the emperor died, and the East Palace inherited the unification, and soon after, I personally rehabilitated the Shen family's unjust case and returned all the confiscated property of the Shen family. It's just that the people of the Shen family have died, and in the end, this property has retreated to my head. My father's expression was complicated, and he finally mentioned to me the old things, posthumously regarded his biological mother as his deceased wife, and my mother's grave was finally moved to the ancestral grave of the Yuan family. Father personally presided over the relocation of the grave, the coffin came out, he gently touched the coffin, his eyes were full of sadness, his lips were white, the weather in early spring was not cold, and his father trembled slightly.

My wife whispered to me, "My father-in-law is so sad because I heard that there has been a portrait of his mother-in-law hanging in his study, and he has been like this for many years, and he is really sincere." There was a sense of envy in the words. I silently toasted a glass of wine to my mother and sprinkled it in front of the grave, I thought, what my mother cared about was not this, not the guilt and sincerity of her father's decades of rehabilitation, and her father's decades of guilt and sincerity, that poor woman should want to be like her aunt, husband and child, and live happily, but unfortunately she was full of despair at the beginning, and she didn't know when this long wait and torment would end, so she couldn't wait any longer, and couldn't bear it anymore. If she had known that one day the Shen family would be rehabilitated, what would she do? What would she have done if she had known I would be so aggressive? Will you be ruthless enough to leave me and go like this?

Unfortunately, there is never an if. R1152
