Chapter 158: Farewell and Return
In the house, after waiting for Mrs. Zhixian to freshen up, the pothos was curling her hair.
When Lin Yu and the others asked An to enter the door, the green pothos just inserted the last silver hairpin into the hair of Mrs. Zhixian.
Hearing them come in, Mrs. Zhixian sat in front of the makeup and turned her head to them and smiled, "Why did you get up so early?" It's time to sleep a little longer, and there's nothing going on right now......"
The three sisters and brothers called their mother in a regular manner, and the apricot called her aunt, and then Lin Yu also smiled: "I also got up so early when I was at home, but now I don't get used to sleeping more......
"It's so early, too?" Mrs. Zhixian stood up and was surprised by Lin Yu, and then remembered that when she first met their sister and brother, on the day they lived in Quhe Village, they also got up very early, so they immediately laughed again: "Look at my brain, you have a lot of things to do at home, and Qi'er is busy going to school, so you must have to get up early......"
Speaking of this, she was a little sad, touched Qi'er's head beside her, and said to Lin Yu and the others: "It's all strange that the mother can't help you......"
The three sisters and brothers of Lin Yu hurriedly comforted Mrs. Zhixian, saying that it was none of her business.
As they spoke, they hugged Mrs. Zhixian out of the room and went to the dining room.
Because there is only one pothos in the family to serve, the county magistrate scooped the porridge out of the rice bowl by himself and drank it, and when Lin Yu followed the county lady to the dining room, the master next to the county magistrate did not know when to wait aside, and when he saw the county lady, he hurriedly saluted.
The magistrate had already eaten, and when he saw that the county lady had entered the dining room, he drank the last mouthful of porridge, and told the Lin Yu sisters and brothers to have a good time after eating breakfast, and they had to leave quickly.
Lin Yu and a few people were naturally polite again. Seeing the county magistrate and the master go out of the courtyard, they sat down at the table.
The magistrate is the lord of a county, and his family is in addition to pothos. There are no superfluous subordinates, to be honest, it seems incredible to Lin Yu, in her impression, people with some status should be left and right, and the family is also a group of servants, but I can imagine that the county lord is like this. On the contrary, it looks like an anomaly to the forest fish
After eating breakfast, Lin Yu took advantage of the pothos to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so he asked Mrs. Zhixian euphemistically. Why is there only one pothos here?
Mrs. Zhixian thought for a while and said: "My lord is from a poor family, and he took the scientific examination for decades before he was admitted to the Jinshi, and he was sent to this Jiahe County to serve as the magistrate, not before he was appointed to the county. Adulthood has a hard time. Although he married the first lady when he was young, but because he went to school all the year round, during which the lady couldn't stand the hard life and invited herself to go to court, leaving a pair of children in the name of the old parents, or relying on the two brothers of the adults to grow up, so the adults remember the bittersweet memories and are very strict with themselves, although now they have power and money. But he still didn't want to live the days when he came to stretch out his hand for food and open his mouth, until he became married to himself. That's when I went to buy pothos and came back."
It turned out that the magistrate had such a past, and several people were stunned and embarrassed when they heard it.
After washing the dishes and chopsticks, the pothos went back to the house.
Seeing this, Mrs. Zhixian closed her mouth, and began to teach them tailoring and embroidery hand in hand, and Lin Yu and they didn't ask questions anymore.
After studying with great interest in the morning, when the pothos went out to make lunch, Lin Yu naturally followed again, trying to teach her a few simple dishes.
Put all the food on the table, and the green pothos was just about to invite the adults back for dinner, but before he stepped out of the courtyard, he saw the county master coming back, but the master next to him was not around, and it was estimated that he went to the cafeteria to eat.
At the dinner table, the magistrate of the county pushed the cup with Lin Yu and Qi'er again, and did not set up any rules and regulations.
After a lively meal, the pothos served tea as usual, and then went back to the stove room to wash the dishes and chopsticks.
Lin Yu and the magistrate chatted a few words, and then told them that they would have to go back later. This matter was discussed with Mrs. Zhixian just now, when Mrs. Zhixian heard that they were going back was very reluctant, and asked them to stay for two more days to accompany themselves, but Lin Yu thought more, now so many people are here, not only both sides are uncomfortable living, but also the family can not be left for too long, although there are Uncle Qi and Uncle Yutian watching, and there are so many families, but they can't always be ownerless, after spending such a night outside, Lin Yu is very worried.
The magistrate of the county naturally kept it, and Lin Yu repeated what he had just said to Mrs. Zhixian, emphasizing that he was indeed not at ease at home, and on the way here, Qi'er met a classmate, and the classmate was looking forward to Qi'er going to his house for a small gathering, Yunyun
Since Lin Yu said this, the magistrate of the county was not easy to persuade again, so he asked them to come over again during the Spring Festival to have a good New Year's dinner
There was another round of greetings, and the magistrate asked them when they would leave? Lin Yu said that after drinking this tea, it was time to leave, and if you leave earlier, it would be better to return early, so as not to get home too late.
The magistrate was about to say that he would send them off later, but unexpectedly someone from outside reported that someone was beating a drum at the entrance of the yamen and shouting grievances
The words of the official were a little anxious, and the magistrate was a little helpless, so he apologized to the Linyu sisters and brothers, saying that the next time they came, they would accompany them well.
Lin Yu and the others must not dare to delay the official business of the magistrate, so they said yes again and again
After the county magistrate left, the Lin Yu sisters and brothers went back to the room to pack up their things, and the county magistrate made up the serial numbers of the cut fabrics in turn, afraid that they would not be able to remember, so she pulled the apricots and Ling'er a few times, and then let them recite them, so that they could rest assured that the fabrics were packed, and told them that when they went back and didn't understand, they must go to the town to ask the embroidery girl in the cloth village.
After all the qiē was taken care of, Mrs. Zhixian took out two silver hairpins and a jade bracelet from the makeup, and the silver hairpin was inserted on the head of Ling'er and apricots, and the jade bracelet was put into Lin Yu's wrist, Lin Yu and Apricot Ling'er excused herself, but Mrs. Zhixian pretended to be angry and said: "My mother has been sorry for you in the past few years, and now you are not short of money, and my mother has nothing to give you, these few small things are regarded as a mother's heart, and they must be accepted, otherwise it will hurt my mother's heart."
The elder gave it to him, and the three of Lin Yu had to accept it. Mrs. Zhixian found another jade pendant and hung it on Qi'er's waist, so that he was not allowed to shirk it.
Seeing that the sisters and brothers had accepted the gifts, Mrs. Zhixian smiled with satisfaction, and asked Luluo to go out and call Zhang Qing and Boss Lu in to help Lin Yu and them carry things
When the things were moved to the ox cart, the Lin Yu sister and brother and the apricot also made the carriage, and the county lady was soaked with the sadness of parting again, and the Lin Yu sister and brother had to get out of the carriage and hugged her again, and the carriage was slowed down under the gaze of her and the green pothos. Drive forward slowly. (To be continued......)
