Chapter 400: Celebrating the New Year (2-in-1)
Old Madam Jiang couldn't stop crying, and the Wu family and Chai Shou's family persuaded her for a while before she reluctantly stopped, wiped her eyes with a handkerchief, and looked at Wang Thirteen carefully.
This face reminded her of a lot of past events, and she had mixed feelings for a while.
Wang 13 was also a little at a loss, and stood up hesitantly, and said, "That...... Grandma, I also brought a friend. ”
In front of the old man in front of him, he was embarrassed to say that it was his daughter-in-law.
Mrs. Jiang remembered this and looked up at Wen Sheng at the door.
Wen Sheng stepped forward to salute.
Old Madam Jiang's gaze was much more critical this time, and she read it from head to toe, and nodded secretly.
Well, this girl is polite, calm and generous when she looks at it, much better than her grandson who is helpless outside and has found a woman in the rivers and lakes.
Wen Sheng looked at her unusual demeanor, she didn't dare to ask, and hurriedly asked Chai Shou's family to move a seat over.
As for Di Qiuheng in the back, the old lady still hasn't noticed that there is such a number one person in the house.
Wang 13 was hard-pulled by Mrs. Jiang's hand, and sat awkwardly on the edge of the bed, if it weren't for the fact that he looked tall and big, the old lady might still want to hug him.
"Good boy, tell grandma quickly, where have you been all these years and how have you lived?"
Wang 13 was a little embarrassed by her skinny hand, scratched his head, and started from the beginning: "I have been in the Wang Family Shan Hall in Jiangbei for as long as I can remember......"
He gave a general account of the situation in the good hall, and Mrs. Jiang heard that the children in the good hall were being watched by the master to practice martial arts in vain and black, and they could only sleep for two or three hours a day. I even had to grab food, and I was so distressed that I couldn't speak.
Wang 13 said nonchalantly: "Actually, it's nothing, there are still many people who envy us and want to replace them." They can't beat me anyway. I've never been hungry either. ”
Old Madam Jiang's heart was like a needle prick when she heard this: "What kind of hall? It sounds like a bandit's den, what kind of sin is this! ”
Wu saw her go to get the handkerchief again, and persuaded: "Mother, since people have come back safely, don't be sad." ”
Chai Shou's help: "Yes, old lady, today happens to be Chinese New Year's Eve." It's a great event for you to be reunited with your grandson. ”
Wen Sheng didn't make a sound, and looked at Wang Thirteen, who was at a loss because of the sudden favor, with a smile.
Thirteen is an open-minded person. You can enjoy yourself in any situation.
After the two of them got along, Thirteen sometimes pretended to be pitiful for a certain purpose, but never used this experience to gain sympathy.
Therefore, from small to large, the encounter in the Wang Jiashan Hall may seem very bitter to others, but he may not.
What he cares more about is the deception and exploitation of "big brother" Wang Guangji.
At this time, the idlers had already withdrawn. There were only three people in the room from the old lady's side. Plus Wang Thirteen, Wen Sheng and Di Qiuheng.
Di Qiuheng has been treated as air for so long, and he can be regarded as finding an opportunity to speak.
"Old lady Mingjian, that's a bandit den. The Jiangbei royal family relied on the smuggling of the Feiyun River to make a fortune, colluding with thieves from all walks of life, the so-called good hall, but it was just a place for them to sell their fame and reputation and cultivate dead soldiers. ”
Old Madam Jiang gasped. This reminded her of her uncle Lu Hongda.
Wen Sheng observed his words and immediately smiled: "The old lady doesn't need to worry about being inferior. Bu Xun stayed in the Wang family at first, but it was based on the heart of repayment, and later he knew that Nan Chong's relatives had entrusted him with a lot of money, so he saw the true face of the Wang family and broke off with them early. ”
She could see that Di Qiuheng wanted to make the old lady estranged herself from her grandson who had just met because of her scruples, so she used the Spring and Autumn penmanship to vaguely pass the period when Wang Shisan followed Wang Guangji to rebel.
Old Madam Jiang really looked relieved, and patted the back of Wang Shisan's hand: "That's good, that's good." ”
Speaking of this, she asked carefully: "What about the Wang family...... Didn't you be taught to read and write? ”
Since Di Qiuheng said that the Wang family is like that, it is estimated that he will not give his grandson the opportunity to study, alas, how can such a big individual be blind?
If it weren't for the importance of reading, Mrs. Jiang would not have been widowed and urged Jiang Xianyan to study hard since she was a child, in her heart, if she is illiterate, she is a rough person, and she is naturally inferior, her son-in-law has no choice, and her grandson is the same, wouldn't it be a pity.
Sure enough, I heard Wang 13 say: "No, grandmother, look." ”
As he spoke, he took off his shirt, revealing his bare back.
Chai Shou's family is old, although the Wu family is an elder, in the end it is the first time to meet Wang Shisan, I can't help but be very embarrassed, I quickly avoided my eyes, and listened to my mother-in-law's "oops", and said distressedly: "How did you get this, so many scars?" ”
Listening to the exclamation of Old Madam Jiang, both the Wu family and Di Qiuheng realized that the adult's nephew was indeed not a good stubble, and as soon as this killer feature came out, unless he was really a heinous man, it would not matter if anyone spoke ill of him in front of the old lady.
Wang 13 didn't rush to put his clothes back on, and said: "See, the longest one, that is when I was a child, I secretly read and wrote, and was caught by the master in the good hall. ”
At this time, not only did Mrs. Jiang feel so uncomfortable that her tears fell again, but even Wu and Di Qiuheng were a little moved.
If Lu Hongda and his family were alive, they would definitely love this precious son more than treasures, and only force him to study with a whip, how could the child be beaten like this because he wanted to learn a few words.
Old Madam Jiang cried: "These gang of people who kill a thousand knives are not afraid of thunder and thunder. In the final analysis, it was your uncle who was inhumane and harmed the child like this. It's okay, good boy, it's not too late for us to learn now, and when the New Year is over, grandma will ask someone to find you a good teacher......"
Wang Shisan smiled, shook his shoulders and put on his clothes, and said: "Grandma, don't cry, I haven't finished talking yet, and then I met Miss Gu, she is my one, what is it called, by the way, good teacher and friend, fortunately, she taught me, I know all the words I should know, and I know the truth that I should know." ”
Wen Sheng looked at Wang 13 with a smile.
When she said this, she also remembered the letters she had exchanged at the beginning.
It was just a whim. I never thought I would be today.
Thirteen is helping her say good things.
Because Mrs. Jiang was very good to him, he wanted to benefit himself with this kindness.
In Wen Sheng's view, the most precious thing is precisely his heart for her.
Wang 13 put on and undressed. Wen Sheng did not deliberately avoid his gaze and behaved very generously.
They have gone through so many tribulations and had more intimate contacts, and Wen Sheng can't pretend to be shy, and he feels that it is completely unnecessary.
Mrs. Jiang stopped crying, what her grandson said made her feel surprised, if it was true. If she can really teach her grandson to follow the right path, it would not be an exaggeration to say that she is a great benefactor of their family.
The Chai Shou family took advantage of this time and hurriedly said, "Old lady." Is it to ask the head to bring the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner? It's cold for a while. ”
Old Madam Jiang came back to her senses: "Send it, send it up." Set up a large table. See what the two kids want to eat and ask the kitchen to make it right away. ”
The subordinates waited outside for a long time, and got the order. Quickly the dishes were served one by one. A table was set.
Mrs. Jiang has been sick for a while recently, and coupled with her age, according to the doctor's instructions, the Chinese New Year's Eve meals are light and mostly vegetarian.
Wang 13 looked at it, and he was not welcome, the big fish and big meat were good.
Mrs. Jiang was very happy and asked her subordinates to hurry up and prepare. He also asked Wang 13 if he drank alcohol.
Wang 13 actually wanted to drink, but he thought of seeing his grandmother for the first time. After hesitating for a moment, he still pretended to be a good baby, shook his head and refused.
Mrs. Jiang was very happy: "It's good not to drink, but drinking hurts your body and makes mistakes." It seems that Gu girl, you are indeed in good management. ”
Wen Sheng was embarrassed: "You are serious. "He's not usually like that at all.
The family is fully stocked with New Year's goods, so it is natural to add a few dishes.
Old Mrs. Jiang has eaten alone for Chinese New Year's Eve for many years, and she can't care about any rules and regulations at this time, so she asked the Wu family to sit down, and the Chai Shou family waited on the side, and the two small ones sat down, and she saw Di Qiuheng obstructing her eyes, and asked someone to set up a separate table for him in the outer room.
Wen Sheng was silent when eating, Wang Shisan was close to Zhu Zhechi, and he also developed a habit during this time, he kept his head silent and finished eating, so he was a little surprised to call Wu.
Old Madam Jiang's sadness has also passed at this time, and when she was eating, she looked at Wang Shisan, and then at Wen Sheng, and the corners of her eyes and eyebrows slowly bloomed into a smile.
After eating the dumplings, the maids came up to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and Mrs. Jiang said to Wen Sheng with a smile: "You kid is good at everything, but you eat too little." This is not good, tomorrow the two of you will come over early and have breakfast with my wife. ”
According to the usual rules, on the morning of the first day of the new year, their family sat around to eat dumplings to make up for this Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and it seems that this year's mother-in-law did not even say hello, so she excluded her son.
Mrs. Jiang ignored her daughter-in-law, and when Wang Shisan and Wen Sheng responded, she wanted to send the others away, even the Wu family and Chai Shou's family: "Okay, what should you be busy with, just stay in the outer room if you have nothing to do, I want to talk to the two children, let's go, what can I do, I can come by myself if there is something, it really can't be Gu girl." ”
The Wu family and Chai Shou's family hesitated to go outside, only Di Qiuheng was still not dead and wanted to stay on the side.
As a result, before he could bring out the words that Jiang Xianyan had confessed when he was leaving, he was scolded by Mrs. Jiang's head and face, and gave a cup of hot tea, so he had to retreat in embarrassment.
There was no one else, Mrs. Jiang asked Wen Sheng to come to the bed to sit with her, and Wang 13 moved a stool to sit aside.
"Your aunt is here just now, and there are some things that I can't ask in detail, so I don't have to pass on to your uncle's ears again. At this time, I told them all to go out, and quickly tell my grandmother, what is the matter with the two of you, you came to Nanchong, but what are you embarrassed about? ”
There are naturally more difficult things, and there is more than one.
It was rare for the old lady to take the initiative to ask, Wen Sheng thought that it would be very easy for Jiang Xianyan to check herself anyway, and seeing that Mrs. Jiang was like this, she was sincere to them, no matter whether she could help or not, there was no need to hide it from her.
So she and Wang Shisan told you and me how they helped the Ji family army fight the Dongyi people in Daliang, and how Wang Shisan's undercover deception rescued Li Chengyun, but when they evacuated, they met Dongyi's ghost son, Wen Sheng and he duel, and they lost both of them and almost lost their lives.
Old Madam Jiang was dumbfounded, she didn't say anything for a long time, she didn't expect that the Gu girl in front of her looked weak, and she was actually a famous musician over there.
As for what happened after coming to Nanchong, Jiang Xianyan already knew about it, and there was no need to hide it.
Wang 13 first said that he was a guest in the Chen family, and because he couldn't find Yan Bai, he just heard that Wu Feng was not a thing, so he simply assassinated him, and then he was brought to the mansion and told him.
Although Mrs. Jiang stayed at home, she also heard about the assassination of Fu Yin Wufeng, and she was so frightened that her face changed, and she was so frightened.
"You kid, you can't be so nonsense anymore. Don't worry, Yan Bai has an unusual friendship with your uncle, and he often hides in our house, did he treat Gu Yatou? Cured? Well, your uncle, though not human, is somewhat useful in this regard. ”
She asked about Wen Sheng's treatment, and she almost patted her chest to give the two of them a guarantee.
Wang 13 was very satisfied.
It seems that grandma is from his side, so I don't know how far she can handle Jiang Xianyan, if she can rescue Yunlu and solve Zhong Tianzheng's big trouble, it will be good.
The rice should be eaten one bite at a time, and Wen Sheng will be completely cured first.
Wang Shisan was actually very curious, and wanted to know what was going on with his father and mother at the beginning, and the old lady Jiang didn't seem to lie to him, but during the Chinese New Year, once asked, the old lady would definitely be sad again.
Wang 13 hesitated again and again, and finally didn't ask.
We'll talk about that later.
On the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, there were many kinds of dumplings, and Wen Sheng sat next to the old lady and ate only a small bowl of dates, peanuts and tofu.
As for big-bellied men like Wang Shisan, they made an "oops" from time to time, and then showed the half-bitten dumplings to everyone.
Chai Shou's family kept talking auspicious words on the side, and Mrs. Jiang was smiling, full of joy.
As for her son and daughter-in-law, she had already called someone to spread the word, her son stayed up late in the palace last night, and he got up late today, so the two of them didn't have to rush over to say goodbye.
Jiang Xianyan knew what the old lady meant, and Wu was stuck here to clean up the dinner table, and came over to greet the old lady in the "crackling" sound of firecrackers in the house.
Old Madam Jiang rarely gave him a good face.
"This is your nephew and his daughter-in-law who has not passed through the door, I think you already knew about it, but you just hid it from me. I don't care what you think, your sister is just such a little bit of blood and bones, if you can't keep them, don't say that your sister can't close her eyes under the Nine Springs, and my wife won't live. (To be continued......)
