Chapter 101: Grandfather
There is another person who has also returned to his parents' house at this time, that is, the Hu family. Hu's ship docked on the shore of Qushui in the capital, it was already early winter at this time, it was still very warm in the south, and it was already snowing in the north. Fortunately, Hu Shi prepared a padded jacket, but he didn't feel cold.
As soon as the boat came ashore, Mingzhu was excited to go to the bow of the ship to see, this is the capital, it is the heart of the entire Great Chu Dynasty, it is the center, and it is a place with countless legends. Hu Shi looked at Mingzhu funny, grabbed Mingzhu, and tidied up her clothes again, and then walked to the bow of the boat with Mingzhu, in fact, she was a little more timid about her hometown.
Walking on the bow of the boat, I saw many people on the shore of the car, Hu looked carefully for a long time, and finally found a familiar face in the crowd, as if it was his own family's previous family, Hu was very excited and hurriedly sent the housekeeper to find the family and asked, sure enough, it was their family, and then Hu saw his second brother coming over.
This is the first time that the brother and sister have seen each other after more than ten years, and after so many things in the middle, the brother and sister have shed tears. Mingzhu looked at the second uncle curiously, and saw that the second uncle was long and jade, and his face was weathered, but he did not hide his true colors.
At this time, the second uncle Hu Minlu looked at Mingzhu, and saw that Mingzhu was wearing a scarlet cloak, which looked very similar to his sister when she was a child, and even more beautiful than her sister when she was a child, so she wiped her tears and said, "Sister, this is my niece Mingzhu, right?" ”
Hu Shi hurriedly wiped his tears and said, "Yes, now she follows my surname Hu, Mingzhu is the second uncle, you are courteous." ”
Mingzhu was busy with the ceremony, Hu Minlu held up Mingzhu with a smile and said, "This is in a hurry on the shore." When you go back to the house, your second aunt will give you a greeting gift. Sister, let's stop standing on the boat, let's go home. I have a carriage on the shore, and you and your niece will sit in the carriage. I rode a horse. ”
Before Hu could speak, Mingzhu asked, "Does the second uncle bring more family members?" How many wagons do we bring, and how much luggage do we have? ”
Hu Minlu knew that this sister was divorced, and he thought that his sister was poor and poor, and she lived by a concubine of the Chen family who was a foreign official. There should be two mothers and daughters, at most two more maids, but this look, the housekeeper, the maid, and the mother-in-law are a lot, and the niece said that there is a lot of luggage. But Hu Minlu only brought a carriage. Hu Minlu frowned, yes, this pile of people, even a lot of clothes, isn't it a lot of luggage, but this carriage can't be loaded, so he said, "Uncle didn't expect so many of you today." I brought a carriage, why don't you go back to the house with me first, and then come back tomorrow to pull the luggage?" ”
Mingzhu thought for a while and said: "It's okay, anyway, this boat is chartered by my family, let them wait two days and then go back to the capital, tomorrow please ask my uncle to send more family members, a few more carriages, I will go to the cabin to get the luggage list first, and tomorrow I will order the list again." ”
After saying that, he gave a salute and went to the cabin. Only then did Hu Minlu know that his niece was in charge of the family affairs in his sister's house. Thinking about it, my sister was a person who didn't know the price of firewood and rice when she was not out of the cabinet, and she must have not made any progress now. He smiled and said, "Sister, Mingzhu is very capable at a young age?" ”
Hu Shi laughed and said: "Second brother, you know me, where do you know this, thanks to Mingzhu for me to take care of." I don't care about anything now, I just concentrate on seeing patients. Let's leave her alone. She must clean up for a while, the things at home are still in the hands of the sister-in-law, tomorrow I will ask Mingzhu to find the sister-in-law, let's go home first. ”
Hu Minlu nodded. I still waited for Mingzhu for a while, and then went back to the house together.
When the group returned to the house, Hu Shi looked at it, or his own home has not changed, but the doors and windows, the house is a lot dilapidated, to the second gate, Hu got out of the car, and the second brother walked to the mother's upper room with Mingzhu, on the way, the second brother said: "Although our house has been returned, but it is much more dilapidated, and there is no money to repair it now. ”
Hu Shi just felt sad, and in a blink of an eye he went to the upper room, and when Hu Shi entered the door, he saw his mother Cui's gray hair, haggard face, and sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law all had wind and frost on their faces, and couldn't help crying.
Cui originally thought that his daughter must be haggard and shabby, where did he know that when he entered the door, he saw his daughter's face like a full moon, smooth skin, and simple on her head, just wearing two verdant jade hairpins, wearing a dark green silver mouse gown, and when she entered the house, she took off the maid she carried with her, and she was wearing an autumn-colored satin jacket. It was a little strange that I had seen my daughter crying and pounced, and I couldn't help it, so I hugged my daughter and cried.
The whole family shed tears, but a big girl beside Cui's side said first: "Old lady, my aunt and grandmother are home, this is a happy event, don't cry, your old granddaughter has been standing for a long time, and you don't look at it." ”
A sentence reminded Cui's, and Cui's hurriedly stopped his tears and said, "Is this a pearl?" ”
Mingzhu was clever, and immediately bowed down and said, "Granddaughter Mingzhu has seen grandmother." ”
Hu Shi hurriedly said: "Mother, Mingzhu now follows my surname Hu, and she is your granddaughter." ”
This Cui Shi knew it in the letter, and this time he nodded and said: "Good boy, get up quickly, you will be a serious girl of our Hu family in the future, not my granddaughter, but my granddaughter, there are a few sisters in front of you, you will follow them in line, and you will be ranked sixth." ”
The whole family hurriedly said yes, and they all shouted "six girls".
Hu Shi was very happy when he saw that his mother had officially admitted Mingzhu, and before he could speak, the voices of the servants who were already loud outside: "The master is back." ”|
As soon as Hu heard that his father was back, he immediately stood up excitedly, Mingzhu was also very curious, in fact, for his grandfather's family, Mingzhu was most curious about his grandfather, this family was because of his grandfather's prosperity, but also because his grandfather was punished, and now because his grandfather came back to life. Maternal grandfather is a genius known throughout the Great Chu Dynasty, astronomy and geography, medical arithmetic, everything is fine, Wen Hui's sister once told her before, her grandfather is a general figure of Huang Yaoshi, of course, she didn't know who Huang Yaoshi was before, or Wen Hui's sister explained to her, for which she also told her a good story, after listening to this story, she also admired Huang Yaoshi in the story, and heard Wen Hui's sister comment that her grandfather was a general character of Huang Yaoshi, but she didn't agree, because her grandfather could do anything, But I don't know martial arts.
When he was thinking wildly, a room of women stood up to greet Hu Zhili, at this time the maid opened the curtain, Mingzhu saw a sideburns but energetic old man came in, the most striking thing is that this old man is like a cold star, dazzling and bright, entering the house first a large number of people in the house, eyes on Mingzhu listened to it, but it was full of love. Finally, his eyes fell on his mother, and his eyes were filled with tears.
When Hu Shi saw the tears on his father's face, he couldn't help but fall down and said, "Father, my daughter is not filial, and I can only see you today." ”
Hu Zhili stretched out his thin but strong hand to help his daughter up, and said, "Yuefen, it's your father who has burdened you, you have suffered all these years." ”
Hu couldn't say anything about crying early. Hu's mother, Cui, was also crying, and the whole family was in tears, but Cui's big girl came out to persuade: "Old lady, master, don't be sad, you are happy to see your aunt and grandmother, master, you haven't seen the sixth girl yet." ”
Hu Zhili said strangely: "Six girls? ”
The old lady Cui Shi hurriedly said: "Master, it is Yuefen's daughter Mingzhu, and now her surname is Hu, so naturally she is the sixth girl in our family." ”
Hu Zhili nodded and said: "Exactly, it will be Hu Mingzhu in the future, it is a serious girl in our house, the child is this, I saw it when I entered the house, I guessed that it is, it is really similar to our Yuefen when she was a child, well, it should be more beautiful, and she is smart at a glance." ”
Mingzhu has come to meet her grandfather.
Hu Zhili hurriedly stretched out his hand to support him, took Mingzhu's hand and asked, "Have you ever read a book, how old are you?" Walked all the way, how are you doing? ”
Mingzhu replied crisply: "Grandfather, I am twelve years old this year, I haven't read before, I only followed my mother to learn words, learn books, and so on after leaving Xufu with my mother, but I like to read travelogues the most, because one of my friends likes to read these, and I also like to read these." ”
Hu Zhili saw that Mingzhu was smart and simple, and he liked to say: "You have also suffered from me and suffered hardships, but fortunately, now that you have come to the capital, you will be a member of our Hu family in the future, and you must remember not to call your grandfather in the future, but to call your grandfather." ”
Mingzhu hurriedly shouted: "Grandfather".
Hu Zhili laughed happily, and the old lady Cui said: "Mingzhu, this child I look very good, smarter than her mother, before, I said that Yuefen looks smart, in fact, it is useless, what is it for girls to chant poetry and paint?" Why don't you learn some housework, but you didn't listen, and taught her all those things you have, and now it's come true? Mingzhu is a very good child, he speaks simply, is polite and courteous, and he doesn't like poetry and books, so it's right if he doesn't like it. ”
Mingzhu pursed her lips and laughed. Hu Zhili's beard was curled: "Why is Yue Fen useless?" Yuefen's family has earned a seven-grade lady by herself? And it's earned with the medical skills I taught, so it's useless. ”
The old couple quarreled, but the people in the family did not say a word, which shows that the old couple often quarreled. Mingzhu looked at it and laughed.
