Chapter 32: A Fertile Woman
The old woman was startled, and then her face was surrounded by great happiness, and she stretched out her hand to help Zhang Yi couldn't help but burst into tears for a while, and kept muttering: "Yi'er, my Yi'er, my Yi'er is back!" My Yi'er is back! ”
Seeing the appearance of the old lady, Zhang Yi couldn't bear it, and hurriedly said: "Grandma, little sister, let's go into the house and say, don't freeze when it's cold outside!" ”
As he spoke, Lao Zhong also proudly let the groom drive the carriage into the small courtyard, and there were still many things waiting for him to arrange in the carriage. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After entering the inner hall, the old lady urged Zhang Xiang to go to the hot water to bathe Zhang Yi, and she pulled her grandson to sit on the chair.
"Yi'er, it's been really hard for you for more than a year, let grandma take a look, it's all tanned, and your hands are thick..."
"Grandma, it's good for my grandson to go here, how can I suffer with Uncle Zhong taking care of me? Besides, my grandson also got acquainted with the second son of Yue Guogong, who is a big fish and meat all day long, but you and your sister..... I don't know how you guys got through it! As a man, even if he is angry and scolded outside, he always likes to show his beautiful side when he comes home, Zhang Yi does not want this woman in her sixties to know that his grandson has walked from Chang'an to Lingnan step by step, let alone let her know how much hardship he has paid to return to Chang'an.
In fact, everything really doesn't matter, the important thing is that the old woman welcomed back his grandson, and Zhang Yi had a home again.
"That's good, I can still trust Lao Zhong, in fact, when a businessman bought me and Xiang'er from the Jiaofang Division in the previous time, I felt wrong, and I always estimated in my heart that even if he was a concubine, he would buy your sister, and it would be difficult to buy my old wife as an ancestor?" As she spoke, the old lady had a smile on her face: "This is a gift for the house and money, and it wasn't until the court sent a set of edict clothes that grandma knew that my grandson was coming back!" So, I'm waiting every day, looking forward to it! I thought you could come back soon! ”
While speaking, Zhang Xiang smiled and showed his head at the door of the room, and said with a smile: "Brother, the water is boiled, you can take a bath first!" ”
Looking at the appearance of the little sister Lisuo, Zhang Yi's heart was sour again, the second lady who used to be dignified in the past has long since lost the appearance of the lieutenant eunuch in her memory, and her coarse cloth clothes are like a maidservant.
The water was boiling very hot, and some grapefruit leaves were added to it, and after being scooped into the wooden barrel, a large stream of water vapor came to his face instantly, Zhang Yi didn't dare to go into the water, and if the hot water went down, it wouldn't take off a layer of skin?
"Xiang'er, look at you, you can't mix a single water, so hot water is not afraid of scalding your brother?" The old lady reprimanded Zhang Xiang with a straight face, then turned her head and said to Zhang Yi with a smile: "Yi'er, you wait first, and we'll wash it when the water is cold!" Your sister too, is such a big person who is always rude! ”
The old lady only has her grandson in her eyes now, and as for her granddaughter's grievances and secretly wiping her tears, she doesn't have the time to care.
"Little sister, don't cry, when my brother goes to the palace tomorrow to thank you, we will buy eight maidservants, one cooks, one boils water, one serves grandma, and one serves you?" Zhang Yi hurriedly comforted his little sister.
If a twelve-year-old girl is in the next life, she doesn't know that she was spoiled by her parents, and now she still has to work and be scolded, and it's too late to have a sister who is distressed!
"Hmm!" Zhang Xiang nodded, and then began to pour cold water into the bucket......
When all the worries were soaked in the hot water and the grandmother's new clothes were changed, the family gathered together again.
"Yi'er, now that you are back, and you still have a knighthood, although you don't have an official position, we can be regarded as restoring our previous glory!" The old lady began to shed tears again as she spoke, and said, "It's a pity, we have only one seedling left in our family, so grandma wants to ask you for a family affair, if you can give grandma a great-grandson sooner, grandma will be happy even if she dies!" ”
"Grandma, what do you say! How can you live to be a hundred years old, and when your grandchildren give birth to you ten or eight great-grandchildren, how about surrounding you every day? ”
"Good! Good! Good! Suddenly, the old lady's face turned into a flower, and she took Zhang Yi's hand and continued: "Grandma has already chosen it for you, it is the daughter of the old Chen family who used to do fur business next to our house.....
Zhang Yi couldn't imagine it, his waist was thick and his butt was big, and he was good to give birth to.... The old lady must be looking for a sow! You can imagine what such a woman looks like with her toes, and it would be terrifying to think about it if you slept with such a woman.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yi hurriedly said: "Grandma, let's not be in a hurry now!" Am I not made a viscount? The most important thing for us now is to go to the fiefdom after thanking the Holy Grace, count the land, buy servants, and repair the new house! It's never too late to get married when all these things are done! ”
There is no way, in order to ease the old lady's heart, it can only be delayed for a while.
"Look at me, I forgot about it! The fiefdom is a big deal, the day after tomorrow, no, grandma and your sister will go to Jingyang early tomorrow morning, this land is what our family can live in! “
As soon as she talked about the land, the old lady's mind was immediately attracted to the past, this person only knew the difficulty of life after suffering enough, it can be seen from the calluses on the old lady's hands, she must have lived for more than a year, it doesn't matter if she takes care of herself and protects Zhang Xiang, so now she takes the land very seriously.
Because with land, as long as you are not lazy, you can live with the harvest of the land, this is not only her opinion, people who have such thoughts in Datang can be said to be all!
After discussing the next matter, the old bell trotted over from outside, and after greeting the old lady, he handed over an account book and a burden in his hand to the old lady. "Old lady, here is the young master's letter seal document and the silver money brought back from Lingnan, as well as the accounts of our business over there!"
"Lao Zhong, I don't have to worry about you, this time Yi'er went to Lingnan thanks to you for taking care of you all the way!" The old lady first thanked the old bell, and then casually flipped through the ledger and locked the baggage into the box, and he decided to take his own time at night when no one was around.
As the main mother, as long as Zhang Yi does not get married for a day, this family is her final say, in fact, this is also the tradition of the Tang Dynasty, the male protagonist and the female protagonist, now that her grandson is back, the old lady feels that it is necessary for her to count how much property there is in the family, even if the person in front of her is Lao Zhong, she is not willing to fake her hands to others.
