Chapter 230: Hard to give up

Just as the deepest undercover brother Wang Chengen reported, after the father-in-law of the town guard found Mao Yulong again for a solemn long talk, he took out the acceptance book of Taixue on his bookcase: "Since you have decided not to help our family anymore, I will not delay your future, and specially in the name of your uncle, I will ensure that you enter the country. The opportunity is really rare, I hope you can endure the strict rules of the country, temper it in it, and eventually become a pillar of the country. ”

Mao Yulong stood respectfully and prepared to accept the acceptance letter, but when the father-in-law of the town guard handed over the document halfway, he suddenly stopped his hand and said meaningfully: "I have been in contact with you for a while, and with my ability to observe people, I really don't feel at ease with you." When you step into the country, you will completely enter the officialdom, and at that time, I firmly believe that you will become a pillar of the country, but I am more worried that you will become a disaster for the country. In this regard, when I wrote the letter to Baoju, my heart was very conflicted, I don't know, I recommended a pillar of the country to the Ming Dynasty, or recommended a disaster star, the merit may be in my own decision. Then he stared at Mao Yulong for a long time.

Mao Yulong just smiled indifferently and looked back, not showing his attitude, nor any guarantee, his expression was not shocked.

This is where a 16-year-old child should behave, this is a demon.

In the end, the father-in-law still sighed and handed the letter in his hand to Mao Yulong: "The future creation is all up to the destiny of heaven, alas, the rise and fall of the Ming Dynasty is between your thoughts, I have this intuition, the distinction between good and evil, and it only depends on your thoughts." Then he waved his hand: "In order to reward you for your achievements in previous battles, I will reward you with an additional 3,000 taels of silver, I hope you can use it sparingly, after all, it is prosperous and chaotic, go ahead, in my lifetime, I hope I can see your end." ”

didn't say a word, Mao Yulong just gave a deep salute to this fair eunuch, and then strode away in a dashing manner.

The matter has been decided, Shangjing has become the end, and in addition to the joy of the mother, it is more sad. After all, this is the place where his relatives live, after all, there are her roots, her family, and the ancestral tomb where she will be buried in the future. I have been there for thousands of mountains and rivers, and I don't know when I will be able to come back.

In fact, my mother is reluctant to leave, there is my own mother here, there are my own relatives, and everything here makes me nostalgic. What's so good about Beijing? If you are unfamiliar with life, it feels terrible to think about it. But when his son enters Beijing, there is a great development, if he is allowed to go alone, how can he rest assured?

Holding his mother's shoulder with his hand, Mao Yulong explained: "The ancients said well, people move to live, trees move to die, if you don't go out for a walk, how do you know how big the world is?" Besides, the family also needs to develop, and it is always imprisoned in a piece of land, so how can it be said that development? The reason why our Jiangnan Mao family can appear in Jiangnan is not because of migration. ”

"This mother understands, but this house that has lived for hundreds of years, and the neighbors who have been in the neighborhood for decades, how can she give up for a while, and your uncle and aunt, as well as my old lady, I don't know if I can give him the old man a pension in his lifetime."

Mao Yulong smiled and was relieved: "We can't take them all over this time, because we really don't have that ability. When the son has a chance in the future, he will take his uncle and aunt's family over, but it's not the same. Besides, Hangzhou and Beijing have the Grand Canal connection, and it is convenient to travel by boat. ”

That's what I said, but where is it so light as Mao Yulong said. Although the Grand Canal is convenient, in winter, the north of the river freezes, and the north and south are cut off. Even when there is no thaw, it is really dangerous to go back and forth once, and now along the road, various places have begun to be chaotic, and there are many rogues who are counting on this canal to make a living. But the son's kindness was known to him, so he could only force a smile and say no more.

In the evening, my mother solemnly announced her decision in front of her uncle and aunt; "A few of our mothers are going to enter Beijing, and I don't know what year it will be when I come back, and I'm already old, so I can't say if I can come back alive." As a result, there was a room of sighs, grandma directly hugged her daughter and cried, in fact, everyone knows that this time of separation, is life and death, and if you want to meet again, it is difficult to go to heaven.

After everyone cried for a while, the mother comforted the grandmother and continued to talk about her arrangements.

First of all, I reluctantly looked at the house where I had lived for half my life, and finally made up my mind and said: "The last time my brother's house was burned down by the rebels, I wanted to take out a sum of money to rebuild, but it was either this or that, so I kept dragging it on, and now it is also trouble-free, this yard will be given to my younger brother, as long as I die, I can let my coffin rest in this yard for two nights, and I will be satisfied." ”

My aunt wiped her tears with her sleeve: "Eldest sister, this courtyard will always be yours, we are just taking care of it for you, and the province will be defeated." My sister will see what it looks like when she comes back.

The mother waved her hand: "Brother and daughter-in-law, don't say that, there must be a justification, let my brother go to the yamen tomorrow, we have gone through the formalities, and you can live with peace of mind in the future, my nephew will also have a family property in the future." That's all I said. Then he ignored the former brothers and daughters-in-law from the outside world, and said to his mother: "According to reason, I still have 5 acres of paddy fields under my name, and the weaving factory still has a little share, but that is all in the clan, that is the Mao family, I have no right to dispose of it, but my daughter can no longer be filial piety in front of your old man, Yulong, the child has received a total of 5,000 taels of rewards, or a generous amount, spent 2,000 taels, and I left 1,000 taels for my mother as a substitute for my daughter's retirement." ”

After the mother finished speaking, she cried again, although the grandmother cried and resolutely refused, but she couldn't stand the mother's resoluteness, and finally accepted it.

Just when his mother was arranging the family property, Mao Yulong also solemnly explained to the patriarch in the ancestral hall.

After several catastrophes, the relationship between Mao Yulong and the family is no longer so rigid, and everyone has dispersed the estrangement, which makes them feel like a real family. For Mao Yulong's entry into Beijing, the whole family was overjoyed. Mao Yulong's entry into the Guozijian proves that he is an official official, and everyone is full of confidence that with Mao Yulong's ability and means, the future development is absolutely unlimited. So there is no sadness here, there is just joy, everyone no longer mentions the past, just violently touting Mao Yulong, even those aunts who originally despised Mao Yulong have changed their original attitudes, although there is a kind of nausea of philistine, but this is no longer important.

"I'm about to go to Beijing, and some of the family property under my name needs to be explained clearly."

The patriarch smiled and said: "You don't need to say much, no matter how far you go, you are always a member of our Mao family, what is yours is yours, and no one will be greedy." The long rooms of the other houses also chimed in.

But this time, Mao Wenlong denied everyone's promise: "I have decided that I will not take any of the contributions originally recorded in my name, and really devote myself to the ethnology of the clan, and my five acres of paddy field rent and my weaving factory shares are also donated to the ethnology, hoping that our ethnology can cultivate more outstanding talents to gāozhān far-sightedness." ”

After saying this, Mao Yulong also relieved the heavy burden in his heart, and felt relaxed, no matter what, his titular father was born in this family after all, and his own arrangement can be regarded as an explanation of his conscience.

After this decision, the Jiangnan Mao family really moved towards the ranks of cultivating and reading heirlooms, and in the future, the Jiangnan Mao family came out in large numbers and really prospered.
