After Mr. finished speaking, he coughed for a while before he eased up, and after listening to Mr. Jin'er's words, Jin'er was already dumbfounded, and Xiao's mother and son were also shocked when they heard it. Seeing that she was a little dazed, the gentleman said again: "Good boy, all your life experience may have something to do with the contents of this box, and one day you will have the opportunity to find your biological parents, and the old man's wish will come true." Daddy, I have no money to spare for being an honest official, and I have also used the gems in the box as a few over the years, but fortunately, it is enough to maintain the family. In fact, my father has not given you anything all these years, and I have always felt guilty, and now I have given you the jewels in your box as your dowry in the future, and do not blame my father for telling you today."

Jin'er didn't understand his life story until today, so he threw himself on Mr. and cried loudly, crying and saying: "Aya and her mother have raised me for so many years, Jin'er can't repay it, Jin'er doesn't mind at all, Aya and her mother are the daughter's eternal parents!" Mr. stroked Jin'er's hair and patted Jin'er's head and said: "Silly child, why don't you be my biological daughter for my father, don't cry, be obedient", and so on Jin'er's crying stopped for a while, Mr. said to Xiao Zheng: "I originally wanted to wait for you to give you a word after the crowning year, it seems that it is not possible, I see that you are very intelligent, although you treat people and things on the surface as kind, but there is a kind of arrogance in your bones, just like your name, but it is easy to fold if you are too arrogant and arrogant, the old man thought about it for you and wanted to take the word "Ruogu", Take its meaning as a valley of humility, I hope you will be humble to people and things in the future, can you? After hearing this, Xiao Zheng said: "Apprentice thanks the teacher for giving words."

Mr. looked at Xiao Zheng and smiled bitterly: "The old man is seventy and two this year, and his life is rare in seventy years, and I am also a long-lived person, I thought that you and I still have a few years of fate between master and apprentice, it seems that this providence is unpredictable, so it's okay!" Life and death are the normal feelings of life, good boy, when the old man leaves, you will send a poem to the teacher to express the meaning of my master and apprentice."

Xiao Zheng stood and thought for a while and said: "Children want to inherit the joy of Shushui, but it is difficult to do it, they all know that the lotus (pity) is bitter in his heart, and he has a sour stomach in the pear (Li)." After hearing this, the gentleman thought for a while and said: "This poem is written a little sadly, but it is in response to the scene, the lotus seed is bitter in her heart, and the pear is sour in her abdomen, hehe, but it is also a pun." It is said that Cao Zijian is already a genius in seven steps to become a poem, and the old man sees that your intelligence is better than Cao Zijian. If there is such a vain, what more can the husband ask for! ”。 After Mr. finished speaking, his hand slowly stretched out and wanted to grab Xiao Zheng and Jin'er's hands, but halfway through, it suddenly fell, and it slammed heavily on Xiao Zheng's hand and slowly became cold, "Teacher", "Aya", "Sir", the cry in the house was loud, and the snow flakes in the sky were sprinkled at dawn......

In the morning, almost the whole two villages came over, and the children taught by Mr. also came, Xiao Hai led the villagers of Li Zhuang to rush over in the wind and snow, Xiao Hai's father knelt on the ground and cried as soon as he entered the yard, crying while saying that Mr. cast a spell to save his little grandson and folded his own yang shou before going prematurely, regardless of his old age and frailty, lying in the snow with non-stop kowtowing, afraid of freezing the old man and carrying the old man into the house, the old man still rushed out of the house several times to care for the coffin and cried. Three days later, Mr. entered the earth for peace, Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Zheng's red eyes and persuaded bitterly, your master is a person with great blessings, because in the early years, he was an official and saved tens of thousands of people. After hearing the news, more than a dozen people from nearby villages rushed over to give Mr. a funeral, and some of them rushed over from Daxing City hundreds of miles away. His old man's shroud is the villagers in the surrounding villages to tear down the clothes they wear to do, this is called "Wan Min Yi", this is the same as Wan Min umbrella, this is the villagers gave their fortune to Mr., the old man is noble in this life, all the people praise, as long as it is a good official, no matter which dynasty will be respected, this Wan Min Yi is also the best reward for Mr.

Xiao Zheng sighed a long sigh, stood in the courtyard and looked at the hill in the distance outside the village, the hill faces south and backs to the north, and the small river in the village bypasses in front of the mountain, Mr. Feng Shui said that this is an excellent place for feng shui, and Mr. Fengshui's cemetery can be seen faintly from the courtyard. When the master was dying, he brought the painting he painted for him to his coffin, as well as a few books that he liked to read. At first, I only knew that the master was a hidden master, but I didn't expect that he was a clean official who saved the people, and he only hated his limited service to Mr. during his lifetime, alas! Thinking of this, Xiao Zheng also sighed.

Xiao's mother also said to her son with red eyes: "Zheng'er, you have such a master, you are not blessed, no matter what, people will die after all, and your master can be regarded as a peace." It's just that you have time to accompany Jin'er more, for the mother to see her heart broken these days, the whole face is lost like a wooden man, to Mr. funeral only from time to time to listen to people to arrange a salute, although you as an apprentice to the master filial piety, for the mother also understands, but you don't grieve Jin'er this child, until now she doesn't even know who her biological parents are, was raised by Mr. with hard work. When my mother saw her like this, she remembered the scene when I was bullied by your aunt when your grandfather died, this child must be uncomfortable, you must go and accompany her, don't live up to your master's kindness."

While the mother and son were talking, Xiao Hai took Lou Shide into the courtyard, after Mr. died, Xiao Hai and his old father and a few brothers have been living here to help Xiao Zheng take care of Mr. Shide's funeral, Lou Shide arrived with a small face, although tears rolled around in his eyes, but gritted his teeth and didn't cry and kept a wake for Mr. According to the master's last wishes, Xiao Zheng solemnly and simply held an apprenticeship ceremony for Lou Shide in front of the villagers, and officially recognized Xiao Zheng as the master.

After Xiao Hai entered the hospital, he said: "Brother Xiao, it turned out that I wanted to spend money to hire a few good stonemasons to carve a stone plaque for Mr., but the villagers did not agree with me to pay alone, so everyone pooled money for Mr. to erect the tombstone, and also engraved the picture you painted for Mr. on the big bluestone next to the tomb." It was erected as a tombstone in front of the grave of a blind date. When you go out, you can look up and see the grave of Mr. on the hill, so that your heart is at ease, and it also makes us live happily and happily when Mr. is seen by the spirit of heaven, so that his old man can rest assured." Xiao Zheng was not polite after listening to it, but just said that there is Brother Lao Xiao.

Xiao's mother also said: "Although your master has been in the ground for peace in the past few days, he has treated a lot of patients in his old man's home over the years, and many of the surrounding villagers still don't know Xin'er, these days you have also seen the villagers in various villages are still rushing over, don't withdraw Mr.'s mourning hall first, there will definitely be people from afar these days, this person is all about conscience, you give him a good point, and he repays you very much." Let's just say that our two beasts, Rhubarb and Ah Hua, were shedding tears when they pulled the coffin for Mr. again, and now they are still screaming a few times at Mr.'s grave from time to time in the cowshed, and they are sad to see people's hearts."

On the second day of Master's burial, Jin'er fell on the kang with a high fever and talking nonsense, and sometimes Jin'er was heard to say: "Aya, don't leave either" "Auntie, Xiao Zheng, where are you". Xiao's mother looked at Xiao Jing worriedly and asked, "Zheng'er, Jin'er won't be as sick as Mr., right?" Xiao Zheng said to his mother: "Don't worry, Jin'er is in a hurry, the fire is too good, his physique is young and there is no big problem, I will prescribe him some medicine to calm his nerves and remove the fire in a while, and I will trouble my mother You have to take good care of her, if she burns too much, you will wipe her forehead and armpits with wine."

After two or three days, Jin'er slowly sobered up, looked at Xiao's mother with tears and stroked Jin'er's face and said: "Child, don't worry, since you Aya entrusted you to our mother and son, we will definitely take care of you, don't be too sad first, it is easy to hurt the body, and our family will grow in the future", Jin'er nodded slowly, but the tears still couldn't stop flowing.
