Text Chapter 2 Extraneous Branches

Li Yacha is the son of Yang Muyun's aunt's family, named Li Yi, because he can't study, he has no other skills. relied on Yang Muyun's brother-in-law Hu Dabiao to be the head of the third shift in the government and found an errand.

Li Yi's eyes widened and asked, "Mu Yun, what's the matter with you?" ”

Yang Muyun snorted and said, "Don't mention it, I was having wine with my classmates, and on the way back, I ran into a pig and was arched into the river by the pig." ”

"Oh?" Li Yi was stunned for a moment, imagining the situation when the pig arched the person into the river.

Yang Muyun turned around to leave, and Li Yi hurriedly said: "Where is my cousin, now that the city gate is also closed, and the sluices everywhere have fallen, if you want to go home, I'm afraid you will have to go home tomorrow morning." "Yang Muyun's house is not in Huzhou City, but in Yangjiabu, three miles east of the city. Seeing his cousin stunned, Li Yi grabbed him and said, "You go to my house for one night first, and change this outfit too." ”

At the Li family, Mrs. Li looked at her nephew's embarrassed appearance, and hurriedly prepared a set of clothes for him to change into. She took the changed clothes in her hand and looked at them, looked up and asked, "Whose clothes are these people's clothes?" Where's your clothes? Yang Muyun was stunned for a moment, and said: "I ate wine with my classmates and soiled my clothes, so I casually changed my clothes, but who knew that I encountered bad luck again, and was sent to the Gonghe by pigs." Mrs. Li glanced at him: "Don't fool around with your classmates in some messy place, right?" Yang Muyun hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Auntie, you can't talk nonsense...... Mrs. Li sighed and said, "Yun'er, your sister married early, your father is such a son as you, you can't do anything to disgrace the Yang family!" Although you are now in Xiucai, you are still far from the lintel of the light gate, and now there are more than three months to leave the hometown test, you have to take care of yourself......" Yang Muyun said impatiently: "Okay, auntie, you have more words than my mother......" Mrs. Li glared at him: "The wings are hard, aren't you, you are your aunt who grew up watching, say what is wrong with you......?"

The next day, Yang Muyun borrowed a set of Confucian shirts and other classmates who had won the show to attend the celebration ceremony held by the Huzhou Mansion.

Early in the morning, dozens of talents from Huzhou Prefecture and five counties gathered at the prefect's yamen, and the yamen sounded gongs and released gongs. After that, the talents lined up to enter the hall of the government from the main entrance, and Yang Muyun stood at the head of the team with a big red flower on his chest, which was not beautiful. He was the first to stand in front of the hall and bow down to the prefect Chen Shiyao, and after bowing, the old man Chen personally handed over a set of light blue Confucian shirts for Xiucai to him, and encouraged: "The head of the Yang case needs to guard against arrogance and rashness, and he will definitely create new achievements for the government in the coming days." Yang Muyun took the Confucian shirt and knocked it to the end, and said respectfully: "Students remember." Then he stepped aside. The Xiucai in the back bowed forward in turn, but the Confucian shirts were distributed by others, and Master Chen no longer gave a word of encouragement to each person, but only bowed his head slightly.

Yangjiabu, Yang's Mansion is very lively today, and in the roar of firecrackers, there is an endless stream of guests entering the house. Master Yang's face was full of red light, so unexpected. Mr. Yang's surname is Yang and his name is a Lu character, he is a well-known landlord in Yangjiabu, and his family has no more or less land, 80 acres of fertile land, and his small days are also moisturized. But there is one point, the family is too small, since his wife gave birth to a daughter for him when he was twenty years old, there has been no follow-up for more than ten years. There was no one at home, and Master Yang held his breath in his heart. Just when Master Yang was thinking about whether to take a concubine to renew the incense for the Yang family, his wife was pregnant again, this time it was a big fat boy, which made Master Yang very happy, and the matter of accepting a concubine was also thrown out of the clouds. He specially invited an old Taoist to pray for the child's blessing, and the bull's nose begged for wealth to choose good things to say, saying that the child was rich and noble, had official luck, and would be the patriarch of one party, and his life would be high, so he named the child Muyun. Master Yang is convinced of this, and invited the best gentleman to teach the child since he was a child.

"Lu Weng, your son has just been the head of high school when he is tied his hair, and his future is limitless!"

"Where, where, Xun Weng praised it."

"Uncle, Brother Yun's spring test is a hit, and he will definitely go to high school in the coming day."

"Anping, don't spoil your Brother Yun!"

“......”

Master Yang's face is like a blooming chrysanthemum, who doesn't want to listen to compliments!

As soon as a group of guests were sent into the house, Lao Yuan saw his sister and brother-in-law Li Qingda coming from afar, and couldn't help but say: "The foreign guests have already come early, you are close relatives, and you should be fined three cups if you are late." Before Li Qingda could speak, Mrs. Li hurriedly said, "It should be, it should be." Saying that, he said to Li Qingda: "You go and help the eldest brother accompany the guests, I have something to say to the eldest brother......

Yang's mansion is not big, there are only three courtyards, and in the inner room of the third courtyard, Master Yang and his wife, sister, and daughter are chatting together. The guests had dispersed, and the family sat quietly together. Master Yang's daughter is called Yang Lan, who married Hu Dabiao, the head of the government at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to a son named Hu Wenguang, who is as old as his younger brother Yang Muyun, both of whom are fifteen years old.

"Big brother, Yun'er was brought to our house by Yi'er last night, and I heard Yi'er say that he climbed up from the river and was soaking wet." Mrs. Li said.

Mrs. Yang said "ah": "He fell into the river, it doesn't matter, is he unwell?" ”

Mrs. Li glanced at her: "Sister-in-law, it's okay, he went to the government early in the morning, and it is estimated that the yamen ceremony should be over, and you will take a look when he comes back." ”

Saying that, he turned his head and said to Master Yang: "I asked him how he got it, he said that he was thrown into the pig arch river, I didn't believe it, and then I took a look at the clothes he changed into, it was actually the clothes of someone else's house, I took a closer look, and found the words Lu Fu embroidered on the collar and cuffs." ”

"Lu Mansion? Which Lu Mansion? Master Yang asked.

"I don't know about this, and this kid doesn't say it, but this Huzhou Mansion! There are not many big families surnamed Lu, and there is also the Lu Yizhong family in the south of the city, and the clothes of the people in the Lu Mansion are from him. ”

"Oh, is that Lu Yizhong also having a son in the school? And you have a good relationship with Yun'er? Master Yang was thoughtful.

"Where, he only has one daughter at home, and I heard that she is about the same age as Yun'er."

"What?" Master Yang glared at each other, looked at each other with his wife, and the family suddenly thought about it.

Seeing that the eldest brother and sister-in-law were stunned, Mrs. Li coughed: "Big brother, all this is speculation, don't take it to heart, I asked Yi'er to go to Chengnan Lu Mansion in the morning to take a look, and he came back and said that there was nothing abnormal, so don't think about it." ”

Master Yang snorted: "It's nothing, could it be that the clothes of the Lu family fell to him from the sky?" Hmph, don't go to hook up with other people's young ladies and be chased into the river! ”

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Yang looked at each other, and swallowed back the words that had just come to their mouths.

Everyone was silent for a while, but Mrs. Li spoke first: "Big brother, my sister has a sentence, I don't know if to say it?" ”

Master Yang gasped: "There is something to say, but it doesn't hurt to speak." ”

Mrs. Li said: "This child is all old, it is inevitable that he will ...... It's inevitable not to think about it, if you and your sister-in-law don't worry about it, something may happen in the future. ”

Mrs. Yang continued: "His aunt, Yun'er is only fifteen years old, is it a little early to mention this?" ”

Mrs. Li said: "Since he thinks about it here, it proves that it is not small, although Emperor Taizu has an order: men are sixteen, women can be married only fourteen, but that was when the country was first founded, the Ming Dynasty has been established for 80 years, and many rules are not so strict." It is not uncommon for men to marry a year earlier. ”

Mrs. Yang looked at Master Yang: "His father, look ......"

Master Yang stroked his beard and did not speak.

Mrs. Li said again: "Big brother, it is said that this is not a few months before the autumn season, and I shouldn't talk about this, but in order to stop making extraneous branches during this time, my sister thinks ...... It's better to do this well, as soon as the man becomes a family, he won't go outside to sneak around for the time being, just say that our family Yi'er, when he didn't get married, he couldn't touch the figure of people every day, this became a family, and as soon as the yamen changed shifts, he ran home......"

Master Yang snorted and nodded: "Madam, the people who have told Yun'er about to marry in the past two days are about to break through the threshold, and I didn't care about it at the time, so you and his aunt, as well as Lan'er, you can sum it up together to see whose girl is about the same, and then match ...... for our Yun'er."

Yang Muyun changed into a light blue Xiucai suit, and stood out among the surrounding group of students in moon-white Confucian shirts.

There are less than 100 talents in total, so each talent is like being held by the stars. A group of people were looking for where to go Le and Lehe, and they saw Li Yi and Hu Wenguang hurrying over, and Hu Wenguang said from afar: "Little uncle, grandpa is sick, my grandma told you to go back quickly." Yang Muyun heard that he threw his hand to the students: "There is something at home, I can't play with you, say goodbye." ”

On the way, Yang Muyun asked Hu Wenguang: "My father was fine a few days ago, how can you say that he is sick?" Hu Wenguang shook his head: "Who knows? Maybe when people get older, this disease will come. Yang Muyun glanced at Li Yi: "Don't you have to be on duty, why do you come with me?" Li Yi sighed: "Uncle is sick, and I, as a nephew, should also go and see it." ”

The three of them talked, and came to Yangjiabu after leaving the city gate.

As soon as Yang Muyun entered the house, he hurriedly walked inside, and when he walked into the hall in the third place, he saw his father lying on the bed, his face was sallow, and he looked very uncomfortable. Mother, aunt and sister were all waiting by his side. Yang Muyun stood with his hands down, and called softly: "Dad......" Seeing that his father did not respond, he asked his mother next to him: "Mother, when did your father get sick?" Mrs. Yang wiped her tears and said with a sob: "When I sent you to Fuxue to take the Xiucai exam five days ago, I couldn't afford to get sick when I came back, and I was afraid that it would affect you, so I didn't tell you, I thought it would be good to rest for two days and take two pairs of medicines, but who knows...... Who knows that this disease is getting worse and worse, how good is this! Mrs. Li persuaded, turned around and pulled Yang Muyun aside, and said, "Yun'er, the doctor looked at it again just now and said."

Your father's heart is clogged, and the medicine is difficult to heal. Yang Muyun hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what does this mean?" Mrs. Li said: "That is to say, your father has a heart disease, and medicine cannot cure it." Yang Muyun hurriedly said: "How can this be? Mrs. Li hurriedly persuaded: "Yun'er, don't worry, the doctor said that this heart disease still needs heart medicine." ”

"How do you heal the law?"

"It's good to have a happy occasion."

"And how do you rush it?"

"Yun'er, your father is just your son, of course he wants you to start a family, you are a good talent, if you marry a family and come to the door with a double happiness, won't your father's illness be cured?"

"What? That's what you have to do! Yang Muyun was shaken all over his body, and Miss Lu's appearance of five big and three thick, big shoulders and round waist immediately appeared in front of his eyes. couldn't help but shudder, rubbed his hands, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Auntie, is there any other way?" "Dare to love him, he has a shadow in his heart, and he trembles when he mentions it.

Before Mrs. Li could speak, she suddenly heard a big cough inside, and looking at this formation, she had the posture of coughing up her heart, liver and lungs. She immediately turned around, came to the bed and sat down, patted Master Yang on the back, and said softly: "Big brother, don't get excited, be careful of hurting your body." Master Yang coughed and his face was flushed, and he couldn't say a word.

Mrs. Li beckoned to Yang Muyun: "Come over and coax your father, he can't stand any stimulation anymore." Yang Muyun was helpless, came to the bed and sat down, held his father's hand, and said softly: "Dad, everything for the child is decided by the elders. Master Yang's coughing slowly stopped, and he tilted his head and lay down again. Before closing his eyes, he swept Mrs. Li with a hint of slyness.

Mrs. Li said to Mrs. Yang: "Sister-in-law, the eldest brother is so sick, Yun'er's affairs have to be handled quickly." Mrs. Yang wiped her tears and said, "Auntie, I'm in my mind now."

It's a big mess, I don't know what to do, everything is up to you. As he spoke, he turned his head to his daughter and said, "Lan'er, you and your aunt will sum up, see which girl is suitable for your brother, and your father will have me to guard it." ”

Yang Lan nodded, stood up and said, "Auntie, let's go to the inner room to discuss this matter, shall we?" Mrs. Li was about to get up, Yang Muyun seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked coldly: "Aunt, sister, have you come to our house to propose marriage in the past two days, surnamed Lu?" Mrs. Li and Yang Lan glanced at each other, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "What, you have fallen in love with a girl surnamed Lu?" Yang Muyun hurriedly waved his hand: "No, if someone surnamed Lu comes, don't agree," he paused, glanced at the strange gaze in the eyes of his aunt and sister, and continued categorically, "Otherwise, I won't get married if I die." ”
