Chapter 275: Hurry
"It's my son who is not good, I received the report from the palace today, and I knew the news, but I didn't send someone back to tell my mother first." Second Uncle Ding sat on the edge of the old lady's bed with a frown, and said to the old lady apologetically.
The old lady shook her head, "What are you doing here?" The newspapers are all big things, how do you know that your nieces and nephews are dead. ”
Di Bao only said that there was a natural disaster in Hainan, Pingzhou and other southeast coast areas where cattle turned over, and there was also a tsunami along the coast, dozens of villages by the sea were submerged, and countless dead and injured were killed.
Too busy to drink water, finally sat down to rest, he heard the bad news, so shocked that he almost fell off the chair, everyone saw this and hurriedly asked the little guy who passed the word, finally figured it out, seeing that the matter was over for the time being, so he asked him to go home first to see his mother, and talk about it tomorrow.
Second Uncle Ding hurriedly returned to the house and asked his wife, knowing that his mother was awake and fine, Fang breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly went to visit.
Because the doctor explained that he wanted to recuperate, Fan Anyang and others rested in the warm pavilion next to the hall, and the second uncle Ding did not enter the warm pavilion, but entered the main room directly from the verandah, and the old lady had asked Mama Yao to help her half lean on the pillow and wait for him.
Knowing that her son had been busy with this all day, she wanted to raise her hand to touch her son's face in distress, but unfortunately she really didn't have the strength, so she could only reach out and grab the hand that was placed on her quilt, "You have worked hard." ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard. I asked the people below, and they said that the eldest brother, sister-in-law, and other children were all right, but the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law were lucky, and she was outside the house at that time, and she should be fine, but who knew that the old banyan tree five or six feet away from her would fall down and press on her stomach so coincidentally. ”
"Oh my life! It's all fate! The old lady patted the back of her son's hand. Tears flowed all over his face, and Second Uncle Ding took the handkerchief handed by his wife to help his mother wipe her tears.
After a while, the old lady said: "The three girls and the ten girls have a hard life!" That's it at a young age! "Aunt Ding's grandmother has left the cabinet and has a daughter. The wedding date of the ten girls was scheduled at the end of the year, and I heard that the future sister-in-law did a good job of being a good woman, and invited the third sister to accompany her, and went to the future sister-in-law's house to ask for embroidery skills, who knew that it would never return.
The old lady pulled her son to talk about the things that followed her when her granddaughters were young, and when she talked about tears, she simply hugged her son and cried bitterly, and the second lady stepped aside and let people make hot water. After mixing cold water in the basin, listening to the crying gradually stopping, he twisted a thick cotton handkerchief with his own hands, handed it to her husband, and motioned for him to help the old lady wipe her face.
Alone persuaded on the side. I was thinking in my heart, what should I do with the funeral of the long house? As a parent official, the uncle must give priority to the affairs of the people, and the sister-in-law cannot stay out of the matter, and the family knows about it, and it cannot be said that they must send someone over to help.
In the warm pavilion next to the main courtyard, Ding Xiaoxiang hugged Ding Xiaoyan and whispered. Ding Xiaozhen because of the many generations of her mother-in-law, it is not good to spend the night outside, after learning the news, she only sent someone over to say that she will come back early tomorrow morning, Ding Xiaolou leaned on her nurse and cried softly, and the maids waiting on the side were red-eyed. Grandma Du was sitting on her lap, looking calm, but in fact, her eyes kept sweeping to the door.
Fan Anyang had already changed out of the clothes he wore for the banquet, and now he was wearing plain clothes that Mo Xiang asked people to go home to get. The hairpin rings on her head have been removed and replaced with light-colored headbands, and Mo Xiang is telling her about the situation outside.
"What about the eldest aunt and cousin?" Knowing that his brother and they were all waiting for his second uncle in the outer study, Fan Anyang found that Wang Jinyun's mother and daughter were not in the warm pavilion.
Mo Xiang's face was different, and whispered to her, "Yun Fang, the maid of the cousin girl, was ordered to be locked up by the third lady, and when the slave came back from outside, she vaguely heard the voice of the aunt's wife scolding, and Yun Fang's voice begging for mercy. ”
"Did she do something?"
Mo Xiang shook her head in embarrassment, "The slave doesn't dare to ask." "Several of them have been beaten by the eldest young master, they are servants of the Fan family, not slaves of the Ding family, they must know how to do things, don't make trouble for their girls.
In fact, the eldest young master didn't say it, and Mo Xiang also understood that it was better not to have too much to do than in his own home.
Fan Anyang patted her, "It's okay, there is a big aunt here, and I won't let Cousin Wan be wronged." She thought about Yun Fang's usual appearance, and said secretly, I'm afraid that Cousin Yun will change the maid again!
The next day, Fan Amber handed over the family to his younger siblings to take care of, and went to Pingzhou with Du Yunqi, Ding Xiulun, the eldest son of the second room of the Ding family, and Ding Xiuhao, the eldest son of the third room.
Today, only the Fan family sisters and brothers came to the door, Ding Xiaoyan sisters did not come, the Yao family was busy collecting materials from the merchants, Yao Nannan was pulled by Yao Dashao's grandmother to help, Du Yunxun has been living in the Yan family to recuperate, after handing in his homework, Yan Chi went out, Du Yunxun took Fan Anyue to paint, and Fan Anyang came to chat with Senior Sister Yan!
When Fan Anyang went to Yan's house to attend class, he told Yan Yun that Dafang sent someone back to report the funeral, but he almost caused his grandmother to have an accident.
Yan Yun asked her: "Is the big room and the second room incompatible?"
Fan Anyang shook her head, how could she know?" I don't know, where did Senior Sister Yan see that they didn't match?"
"I don't think your eldest aunt should be a worry-free person, her daughter is dead, her daughter-in-law is dead, her granddaughter is also dead, something big happened in her husband's jurisdiction, and her people went back to her hometown to report the matter, but didn't say hello to the second housekeeper first? Acting so rashly, if it weren't for the disagreement with others, how could the subordinates she sent back do this?"
Fan Anyang has never seen her uncle's family at all, even the dead eldest cousin, third cousin and tenth cousin, she has never seen it, she is really very strange to this family and can't get close, but the second uncle's family takes care of them very much, in contrast, she has no good impression of Zhicao who came back to report the funeral of the master's family, and was still calculating the second room.
Because Fan Amber was not at home, Fan Anyang felt that it was not good to stay outside for too long, chatting with Yan Yun for a while, and then got up to say goodbye, but Yan Yun said that he wanted to go out with them, "I have to go to Ding's house." ”
Du Yunxun knew about it, and he also wanted to follow, "My injuries are almost healed, besides, the doctor and the eldest brother went to Pingzhou with the people from the government, I have to go home to see." ”
Yan Yun nodded, and the group went to Ding's house first.
When he arrived at Ding's house, Du Yunxun went to see his aunt and grandmother first. Then he went to see Second Uncle Ding, Fan Anyue followed him, and the old lady smiled: "The relationship between the two of them is good."
Seeing that the old lady finally smiled, the second lady and others who sat next to him also smiled. The atmosphere in the room was finally relaxed. Ding Xiaoyan's sisters hurriedly hugged Ding Xiaoxiang's son to the bed, so as to make the old lady happy.
"I'm really sorry to ask Mr. Yan to come to see my old woman."
"The old lady is too polite, Xiaoyan and they are all my students, there is something at home, how can I, as a gentleman, not care about one or two?"
After saying a few words, Yan Yun took his leave.
After Mrs. Ding watched her back disappear, she said for a long time: "This is also a poor child!"
"Who's to say it isn't?"
After Yan Yun's fiancé had an accident, Yan Yun could actually marry someone else's family, just because Yundu Fei made a fuss. forced Yan Yundao to guard her fiancé for the rest of her life, but her father never wanted to recruit Yundu Fei as his son-in-law, and cut off her marriage road alive.
The old lady thought of her eldest granddaughter-in-law, and her great-granddaughter and granddaughters, and she couldn't stop crying!
Bai Shao hurriedly stepped forward to persuade a few words, and Fan Anyang saw the opportunity to resign. Ding Xiaoyan and the others also came out, Fan Anyang saw that their eyes were bloodshot, persuaded them a few words, and then said goodbye with Fan Anyue and Du Yunxun.
The two sisters and brothers accompanied Du Yunxun home, making Du Yunxun laugh, "Do I need someone to protect me when I go back to my own home?"
"We are protecting you, we want to see our little niece." Fan Anyue said with a smile on his face.
Fan Anyang's jaw head. "I want to see if it's your niece and nephew who are cute."
Du Yunxun shook his head with a smile, and then explained to them with a straight face, "It's okay for you to laugh in front of me, in front of my sister-in-law." Don't talk about it. ”
Fan Anyue opened his mouth to ask, but Fan Anyang had already preemptively said: "I understand, we are unintentional, I am afraid that it is not good for her to misunderstand and worry about it."
Fan Anyue looked at Du Yunxun, and then turned his head to look at his sister. Xindao, the tacit understanding between the two of you is too good, right? What does this mean? I didn't understand a word!
When Grandma Du saw the little brother-in-law come back, her face was not very good, and when she saw Fan Anyang's sister and brother again, the expression on her face was stiff and wanted to squeeze out a smile, but she failed, Du Yunxun squinted slightly, glanced at her unkindly, and said: "Sister-in-law, Ah Zhao and I accompanied the senior sister to visit my aunt and grandmother, and came back to get things by the way, and left after taking the things, the eldest brother is not here, if there is anything you want me to help with, send someone to Fan's house to find me."
Grandma Du nodded curtly, seeing that Fan Anyang was going to follow Du Yunxun's courtyard, she didn't say anything, and when she saw the people leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Ouch! You say, okay, what did he do when he brought that fool back! ”
Caiyu looked at each other, but she didn't dare to answer, and Grandma Du didn't want them to answer, so she let her daughter who hurriedly avoided the inner room when she heard Fan Anyang coming.
Du Yunxun took Fan Anyang's sister and brother into his residence, Mama Fang greeted him with big and small maids, Du Yunxun didn't give her a chance to speak, and bluntly asked her to help him pack some spring clothes, and then took Fan Anyue to his study.
Fan Anyang stayed, Mama Fang knew that the two families intended to be married, if she wanted to stay by the second young master's side for a long time, she must get along well with the second young grandmother, otherwise she would have to be like her sister-in-law, and when the new daughter-in-law entered the door, she had to hand over the power and leave.
Du Yunxun knew that his grandfather intended to hire Ah Zhao as his wife, so he was happy to let her help him take care of the trivial things of life, he could see that this girl liked a person's appearance, that is, she would help the other party take care of some trivial things, and would not deliberately tell others, but moisturizing things silently, quietly replaced her aunt's bed tent and bedding with the pattern that her aunt and grandmother liked, and the forehead and purse on her body were all new embroidery patterns drawn by her, and only her aunt and grandmother had it, and no one else had it.
At this time, she volunteered to stay and help Mama Fang clean up her things, did she like him?
