Chapter 314: New Year Pass (2)
Although it is almost Layue, the four princes have already moved their knives in Jiangnan, and there is no reason to rush back to Beijing at this moment.
It's just that Jiangnan is not as good as Jingzhong, and the manpower he brought is not familiar with the local situation, so the manpower like Master Qiu is particularly easy to use, so he stayed with Chang Yuyun for a few more days.
In Jinzhou City, seeing that it was the end of the month, Chu Weilin was also busy.
Most of the shops and fields in Chang Hengmiao's hands were handed over to the two of them to take care of, and the people who took care of them were all old stewards, who were quite trusted by Chang Hengmiao and Tu's family.
They are all on the border of the south of the Yangtze River, and it is not a long way to come to Jinzhou to serve the account.
Chu Weilin met with the stewards for a few days in a row, listened to them respectfully talk about the things in the Zhuangzi and the shop, and turned over the account books, feeling a little surprised.
She knew that Jiangnan was rich, and Chang Hengmiao handed over a lot of property to them, but it wasn't until she looked at the numbers in the account book with her own eyes that Chu Weilin had a concept in her heart, just these private properties of Chang Hengmiao, the annual income was not less than that of the capital public high school.
Of course, only than in the public.
After all, in the hands of the ancestors, Chang Henghan will not have less private property in his hands.
In the blink of an eye, it was in the wax moon, and it snowed for two days, and the wet and cold weather made Chu Weilin a little uncomfortable, even if there were several charcoal pots in the house, she didn't feel dry.
Li De'an's family also didn't like this kind of weather, and stood in the leeward place and talked to Bao Hibiscus about the arrangements of the previous year. When she raised her eyes and saw Deng Ping's family coming in from outside in a hurry, she hurriedly greeted, "What's wrong?" ”
Deng Ping's family walked and said, "Mrs. Du arrived, and helped a little woman in, who seemed to have injured her legs and feet. ”
Du Yang's came to the house, it was yesterday that he made a post, Chu Weilin asked when he got up in the morning, and knew that Du Yang's came after lunch, so he waited patiently.
Seeing that the time was almost up, he asked Deng Ping's family to go to the front to greet him. How do you know that Deng Ping's family brought back such a news.
Li De'an's family and Bao Hibiscus looked at each other. Several people entered the house together and gave Chu Weilin a gift.
Chu Weilin was also surprised, raised her eyes and asked, "The little woman who hurt her legs and feet?" ”
Deng Ping's family nodded again and again: "Grandma, that woman looks less than twenty years old, and she is small. The appearance is delicate. It should be a native of Jiangnan. However, some of her clothes were stolen. may have fallen and couldn't walk, so he was supported by the two maids of the Du family. ”
Chu Weilin heard this. He had a rough idea in his heart, and said: "The road is slippery on a snowy day, and the woman is afraid that she will accidentally fall, since Mrs. Du brought her, then we should not be lazy." The mother of the Deng family, clean up the side room in front, let her rest for a while, and then ask a doctor to come and take a look at the injury. ”
Deng Ping's family responded, Chu Weilin waited for a while, and Du Yang's family arrived.
After the ceremony, Du Yang sat down on the side and took the initiative to mention the matter of the little woman: "I happened to meet on the way here, and it was not easy to drive after the snow, so I almost hit her." In the end, she took the reins, and she fell to the ground in fright, and her clothes were thick in winter, and she had nothing to do with her body, but her feet were broken. ”
Du Yang's words and sentences were as calm as possible, she didn't want Chu Weilin to be frightened, but she was really startled, because the carriage suddenly stopped, her whole body hit the carriage, and now her shoulder is still faintly painful.
Chu Weilin recited a Buddha name, she was most afraid of a carriage accident in her heart, no matter how many years have passed, the carriage accident of the Jiang family and the Sun family is still her heart disease.
"It's good if people are fine." Chu Weilin said, "The little woman is resting in front, and after the doctor has seen it, the lady can rest assured." ”
"Isn't that it?" After Du Yangshi sighed, his mouth moved, and he was about to go on, but he was afraid that saying too much of these gossips would make Chu Weilin bored, but he thought of his original intention of coming......
Chang Yuyun went to Mingzhou, she and Li Zhou were afraid that Chu Weilin would be bored in Jinzhou alone, so they came to the house every few days to talk with her, and they should be relieved.
Thinking like this, Du Yang let go of his courage and said, "Don't hide it from Madame, I know that woman." ”
"Recognizable?" Chu Wei Linqi said, "She's from Golden State? Madame dealt with her? ”
Du Yang smiled lightly, shook his head and said, "Her name is Wanyan, she is not from Jinzhou, but she grew up in Jinzhou. Speaking of which, he is also a hard-working person. ”
Wanyan came to Jinzhou City when she was five years old, not because she moved with her parents and elders, nor was she brought by someone's teeth, but she sat in a sedan chair to welcome back to Jinzhou's child daughter-in-law, her husband's family, surnamed Du.
"It's from our master's brother's lineage. The two of them have been married for many years, and have no children, but their house, the uncle has passed away, and they are counting on their husband and wife to pass the incense, for this reason, my uncle has to complain a few words, but tried their best, there was no result, until the tenth year, the husband and wife went to Putuo Mountain together, begging Guanyin Niangniang to give a child, and only after coming back. was born really a son, the family was so happy, he held it in the palm of his hand when he was young. After all, it is an old thing in the family, Rao is Du Yang's straightforward temperament, and she is a little embarrassed to talk about these family members, she smiled and said, "The little nephew is a smart one, but when he was about three years old, he fell seriously ill, and everyone said that he couldn't be saved." Where can the aunt stand it, she went to Putuo Mountain overnight and said that she wanted to ask Guanyin Niangniang to continue her life. After going back and forth for half a month, he dragged the sick body back with a figure of eight characters, saying that the abbot master in the dojo said that marrying a child daughter-in-law can keep you safe. ”
There is only one eight characters, and it is difficult to find someone out of the vast sea of people.
The Chang family also did this at the beginning, obviously it was written according to the eight characters on the red note, but after looking for a long time, the Du family pinched such a eight characters, and they also had a headache.
"The head of the Du family, the opinions are not unanimous, some say that they are looking for it, some say they can't find it, the aunt is already sick, and she has been angry with the clan a few times, and it has only been five days, and people have passed." Du Yang shook his head as he spoke. In this way, it exploded even more, and in the end, it was the idea of the two couples themselves. I didn't ask for a copper plate property, so I left the Du family with the dowry of my aunt and my sister-in-law, and bought a small house in Jinzhou City. is also fateful, the little nephew's life is not over, and they really found the little girl who matched the eight characters, and beat the gong and drum to welcome them back.
The girl was Wanyan, and she didn't call her by that name when she came, the farmer's daughter. The name is also chosen randomly. When he arrived in Jinzhou, he named Wanyan according to the meaning of the abbot master. After Wanyan came, the little nephew's illness really got better day by day, and it took a year to wait. It's like nobody. Even the doctors were amazed.
Du's family. Some people also proposed to let their family come back, but the brother and sister-in-law were both twisted and left the ancestral house. He gritted his teeth and refused to come back, and he grinded back and forth for a year or two, and only when his little nephew was going to study did he come back to study ethnicity. ”
When Du Yang said this, he paused and said, "These are all the times before I entered the door, and I also heard them from the east and west, and roughly spelled them out." A few years after I entered, the old lady died, and the family separated. The Du family was originally not considered prosperous, and most of the people who went to other places to do business and stayed in Jinzhou are actually the two couples who have been separated from our lord and a long time ago. ”
Chu Weilin listened quietly, if it is really like what Du Yang said, there should be no conflict between them and Wanyan's in-laws, after all, they were once a family, although they were separated, they would move around a little, especially, Du Tongzhi is also a figure in Jinzhou, everyone else wants to stutter, what is there to rely on from their own family?
"In the past, I was powerless, but since our master took office, he has been helping him," Du Yang himself also knew that when he said this, it would definitely make people confused, so he explained, "My brother and sister-in-law have all studied, not such bastard relatives, Wanyan is a good boy, if we can help, we will do our best to help." Six years ago, my little nephew went to Beijing to take the exam, and Wanyan stayed in Jinzhou to take care of her in-laws, until three years ago, when her in-laws passed away, she gradually became estranged from us.
In fact, you can't blame Wanyan, it's just that the little nephew is not sensible! He went to Beijing to seek fame and fame, and threw all the things at home to Wanyan, that's all, in order to make him entangled, it was Wanyan who came to me with a cheeky face to borrow the silver, I borrowed it without saying a word, and the things of honoring the ancestors such as the examination of fame, we don't help when we are uncles and aunts, who are we going to help? Wanyan told me that she was afraid that her little nephew would not be able to save face, so she told me not to let him know, just if the money was saved by Wanyan a few years ago, I also agreed. The family happily sent him out of the city, and waited for him to be named on the gold list, but as a result, the dead boy stayed in the capital, and there was no more information. Wanyan asked our master to ask someone to go to Beijing to ask, but Madame, I really didn't have the courage to tell Wanyan the truth.
We also received the gold list that year, the little nephew is capable, Tanhualang! How much incense did my Du family ancestor burn to be able to offer a flower! But how many sins has our Du family created to raise such an unfilial thing! He married another woman in Beijing, but if he didn't say this daughter-in-law and abandoned the dregs, even the old father and mother broke off contact, didn't come to Jinzhou to show their faces once, and didn't take them to the capital to support. I had to lie to meeks, saying that my little nephew was afraid that he would not be in school, and he would not dare to come back to face his parents, so he stayed in Beijing, and when he was in school, he would definitely return to his hometown.
I lied to Wanyan for three years, until my brother and sister-in-law passed away, and my little nephew didn't come back.
Then again, if I had been polite, I wouldn't have wanted to face it. ”
The maid and woman who were waiting in the room were silent, and her feelings were as rich as hibiscus, and her eyes were already red.
Chu Weilin felt even deeper in her heart, Tanhualang six years ago was born in Jiangnan and married a wife in Beijing, she already knew the identity of the other party.
Du Huisheng Du Tanhua, who is in the same department as Chang Yuyun and was selected as a son-in-law by the Qin family's girl list, is now Du Huisheng, who is the east bed of Lord Qin, and is also the editor in the Hanlin Academy, this person, Chang Yuyun is still somewhat familiar, but they didn't expect that Du Yang turned out to be Du Huisheng's uncle.
"Du Huisheng ......," Chu Weilin muttered the name.
Du Yang's eyes widened, and he said in a daze: "Madam knows? ”
"It's the same family as our grandfather." Chu Weilin explained.
Du Yang suddenly understood, and smiled awkwardly: "The selection of sons-in-law in the capital that year must have been in a uproar, right?" ”
Choosing a son-in-law under the list, there are more in autumn, and it is almost rare to see in spring, not to mention that Miss Qin went alone, and it was Tanhualang who was selected, Chu Weilin still remembers that the mothers of the daily mansion were all interested in talking to the ancestors about this matter, and this matter was the talk of the people in the capital after tea and dinner for a long time.
"Madam, no matter what, my father and mother are my father's mother, didn't you send a letter to Du Tanhua?" Chu Weilin asked.
"Why not?" Du Yang let out a long sigh, "If it weren't for the poor health of my brother and sister-in-law during that time, I would have wanted to go to Beijing with Wanyan." How many letters, one by one, were sent to the capital, as if they had been lost, and there was no reply at all. Later, our lord said that he must be now prosperous and does not recognize our relatives. But it doesn't matter if he doesn't recognize us, our lord is here in Jinzhou, and the sesame official is also an official, we don't want him to rely on anything from him, he doesn't care about his father and his words, what's the matter? My brother and sister-in-law suffered a great sin back then, leaving this little bit of blood, counting on him to retire and send him to the end, but as a result, he can't rely on it at all, if there is no euphemism, it will be really bleak at night. If you want me to say, I knew that I would raise such a white-eyed wolf, and I would have let him die of illness in the first place! ”
Speaking of these old things, Du Yang was particularly upset, and his tone was a lot heavier.
It's not just Du Yang's, but the people who listen to it are not happy, the room is full of women, and the most hated person is such a negative person.
The penitent husband is looking for a marquis, and the reader's emotion and the author's emotion when he writes it, even if he experiences it wholeheartedly, he can't fully comprehend that kind of regret and pain.
"Then Wanyan ...... now," Chu Weilin asked.
"I've been staying in Golden State, living alone, and I don't associate with us anymore." Du Yang's tone was full of pity and helplessness, more sympathy and heartache, "In Jinzhou City, everyone knows that she is the child daughter-in-law of the Du family, Du Huisheng's bastard doesn't come back and doesn't pick her up, she will be a widow in Jinzhou for the rest of her life." She is still young, and now she can live alone, but what about when she is old? Not to mention anything else, family is a big problem, and her temperament is also with my brother and sister-in-law, screwed, I want to subsidize her, but she refuses to ask for it. ”
After hearing this, Chu Weilin suddenly became curious about this woman, besides, her identity is Du Huisheng's original partner, and Du Huisheng's father-in-law, Lord Qin, is the one who showed Chu Weilin the end of Changfu in his previous life and made her drink poisonous wine.
