Chapter 129: Three Generations, Discussing the Future
Two uncles and nephews, chickens and ducks.
Either Cui Hao is unmarried, or unchildless, the former is okay, the latter may have some privacy, and the idiot said: "It's getting noon, brother-in-law will have lunch here again?" ”
When Cui Hao heard this, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Won't it be too disturbing?" Although I am your own uncle, but in the end, you have come here, will the old man think too much? Don't embarrass you. ”
Cui Hao's "kindness" is a little incompatible with his young face, but I have to say that he is different from Liu Wanshan.
When Liu Wanshan looked at the idiot, there was consideration and sophistication in his eyes, even if his tone was close, it was within the scope of politeness and politeness.
Dao idiot believes that if he is not the same, Liu Wanshan will be more alienated from himself. Cui Hao is different, he didn't look critical, only genuinely concerned.
Even if he is not old, he looks like an elder, the kind of connivance that doesn't ask right or wrong.
There was nothing on the face of the idiot, but he was a little moved in his heart, and said softly: "Don't be embarrassed, my grandmother is very loving, and she has been really good to me in the past two years." ”
When Cui Hao heard this, his face softened a lot, obviously understanding that his nephew was focusing on the sentence "really good", and said, "I'm a junior, shouldn't I go to see it?" It's too big to wait for the old lady to come out here. ”
Dao Idiot thought for a while, nodded and said, "Then the little uncle will sit down for a while, and I'll go in first and say goodbye." ”
Cui Hao waved his hand and said, "Go, go." ”
The idiot got up and walked out of the south hall, walked a few steps into the second gate, and went to the upper room.
Wang Ning sat in the small Buddha hall picking up Buddha beans, heard the movement and got up and said, "Your uncle and nephew finished talking?" I'm going to see Uncle Cui now? ”
The Taoist idiot helped Wang Ning and said: "Grandmother, my uncle said that he is a junior, and it is not good to ask my grandmother to come over and want to come over to visit." ”
When Wang Ning heard this, he paused and said, "Will it be rude?" ”
Dao idiot said: "How come? Grandmothers are elders. Speaking of this, he thought for a while and said, "Grandmother, I want to leave my brother-in-law at home for lunch." Even if the uncle's house has been far away from Anlu for many years, the house is especially there; On the Cui family's side, I heard San Lang mention that the house has already changed hands. ”
Wang Ning sighed: "It's not easy. It's time to eat, naturally be a guest, if you want to keep Uncle Cui at home, it's always bad to ask him to return to his hometown, but he has no land to live in. ”
The idiot said: "Forget about staying overnight, my uncle brought a servant, and the family is not cheap." ”
Although he can see that Cui Hao treats him sincerely, he can be moved to be moved, in fact, in addition to blood, the two are still strangers.
Cui Hao's rich style of being an official or a businessman makes the Taoist idiot feel very bottomless. He was grateful for Cui Hao's sincere concern, but he was unwilling to break the current peaceful life, and the relationship between uncle and nephew was still good slowly.
Wang Ning's family is over the age of six, and the Taoist idiot can see it, but the old man can't see it.
Although he was a little surprised by Cui Hao's young face, Wang Ning also looked at his undisguised concern for the Taoist idiot.
She is not a person who likes to socialize, but for the sake of her grandson, she has begun to move back and forth in the clan in the past two years. Entertaining Liu Wanshan and Cui Hao today is, in the final analysis, also for the sake of Taoist idiots.
Even if there is an heir of the Taoist idiot in the outer nine rooms, there is no uncle to protect him, there is no brother to support him, and he is old, how long can he accompany his grandson? If you have two more good relatives, when the Taoist idiot has a difficulty, there is also a place to plead.
Even if Liu Wanshan is hindered by his reputation, he will pull the idiot for one or two, but he will definitely not be as unconditional as Cui Hao. The name can be changed, but the blood involvement is constantly cut.
She was worried that her grandson would be alone in the future, but now that there are elders who are willing to love him, it is too late for her to be happy, where will there be mustard.
Cui Hao was still a little restrained, but seeing that Wang Ning's family was indeed kind, and he did not hinder their uncle and nephew from getting close, he was very grateful in his heart, and his face became more and more respectful.
Because it was the first time he met Cui Hao, he was really unfamiliar, even if Wang Ning was gossiping, he would not take the initiative to ask Cui Hao anything, so he picked up things related to Taoist idiots.
"Erlang loves to read the most, he sits at home and has nothing to do, and he also wants that book in his hand......"
"The one who grew up with him when he was a child was a child named Tiger Head, and Erlang treated him as a younger brother ......"
"The seventh member of the sect and Erlang entered the palace together, and the seventh is a real person, and he takes good care of Erlang's younger brother. The two brothers are companions, and the relationship is very good, and it is not worse than the biological one......"
"Erlang is a sensible child, not the kind who doesn't know how to make a living. Although he is not yet an adult, the affairs of the family are all in charge of Erlang......"
"In addition to Qilang, Erlang gets along well with his classmates in the palace, there is a Lu boy, and he once came to the house to play ......"
"Say kiss? Someone has been staring at Erlang for a long time. After Erlang entered the palace as a companion the year before last, many people came to inquire. It's just that the conditions are mediocre, and most of them are neighbors; When Erlang became a child last year, there were scholars to inquire, but it was not too suitable. This year, Erlang passed the hospital exam, and the family was really lively. Thirteen-year-old Xiucai, who mentions it doesn't praise it. It's just that Erlang said that he wants to talk about marriage in a few years. The old woman also hid her selfishness, thinking that Erlang was interested in the imperial examination, and in the future, she thought that she would always have to go out after the matter was completed, and it would be good to find a wife and family to support each other. Don't ask the other party to be more noble, as long as you take care of the ......"
Wang Ning is not a talkative character, but today he is chattering, talking a lot, and never leaving Erlang.
Cui Hao leaned over to listen, with a burst of joy on his face and a frown, but he was fascinated by it.
From Wang Ning's chatter, he also heard Wang Ning's sincere care for the Taoist idiot. The last bit of rejection in my heart of the outer nine rooms was also dissipated. If you go out, you will go out, and he is still an uncle.
It is more reassuring for Erlang to grow up with such a loving and open-minded old man than to live with that vicious mother and son in the twelfth room.
While the two of them were talking, they didn't look at the Taoist idiot sitting next to them, they were all full of love.
The idiot couldn't sit still, so he excused himself to arrange lunch and escaped from the upper room. However, standing in the courtyard, the corners of the idiot's mouth were still curled, and this feeling of being regarded as a treasure was not bad. But looking at Cui Hao's young face, he really couldn't treat him as an adult.
Wang Ning has already explained to Mama Yan and Sister-in-law Tian, and the two have already begun to prepare in the kitchen. It's just that the outer nine rooms are up and down, and the plain kitchen is mostly vegetarian, and they eat meat once every ten days and eight days, and they also give Yan Bo and a few stings to eat. After Tian's sister-in-law brought Erzhu over, she also began to eat fast with Wang Ning's family.
However, there is no shortage of meat at home now, and when the idiot and the old lady bought New Year's goods, they also bought some meat and came back, ready to be used when they were served, and there were other people to satisfy their hunger.
Nowadays, when you treat guests, you can't always have tofu and cabbage. How many meat dishes to add, Sister-in-law Tian was a little unsure.
Sister-in-law Tian and Mama Yan were about to go to the upper room to ask Wang Ning's meat dishes about it, and when they saw that the idiot was in the yard, they approached and whispered to each other.
Dao Idiot thought that Cui Hao's temperament might not be rare big fish and meat, so he said: "Just prepare it as usual, if you want meat dishes, in addition to bacon, you can make a hibiscus steamed egg or a stall egg."
Mama Yan hesitated: "Wouldn't it be too simple?" Uncle Cui is the first time to come to the door. ”
The idiot shook his head and said, "No, maybe it fits my uncle's heart." ”
When Mama Yan saw that he was in charge, she didn't say anything, and reflexively went to help Sister-in-law Tian.
In the main room, Cui Hao's mouth has been changed to a title, from "aunt" to a closer "aunt": "Uncle, the twelfth room was a mess earlier. The nephew came back for two days before he realized the injustice that Erlang had encountered. The nephew has a fire in his heart, he can't do it, he can't do it, he went over there yesterday, and he almost had to do it. It's just that he was embarrassed, and he didn't want to be involved in Erlang, so he was chewed up, so he endured it. I met my aunt today, and I said this to my aunt, and my heart was really much more comfortable. There is a miasma of smoke in the twelfth room, where is it as clean as the aunt here. Erlang can be a grandson for his uncle, which is a blessing for that kid. Uncle Niang is a good person, good people have good rewards, if Uncle Niang does not dislike it, I will be my nephew in the future, even if I am called, I Cui Hao has no words! At the end, I patted my chest and "bang" sounded.
Wang Ning said: "It's good to open it if you want to, but if you lose your horse, don't you know if it's a blessing?" Erlang is a strong child, and one day he will get ahead, and when the time comes, he will cry and regret it. ”
The last sentence, of course, is joking.
Wang Qinghong himself is the champion lang, and San Lang is also a reading seed, even if the Taoist idiot wins the champion, the twelve rooms will only say "congratulations", and will not cry and shout regret and other words.
This "joke" is exactly what Cui Hao wants, and he said with his eyebrows: "What Uncle Niang said is right, it is better to make them regret it so much that their hearts, livers and lungs hurt, and it is better to relieve their hatred than beating them." ”
Speaking of which, thinking of San Lang in the twelfth room in the Guozi Prison, Cui Hao said: "Wang San Lang is in prison, there are many famous gentlemen in Beijing, and if you eliminate the strengths of the other, don't you leave Erlang behind, is it also called Erlang to prison?" ”
Wang Ning said: "Erlang has long had this meaning, and he also took the annual exam a few days ago. It's just that it's one out of hundreds of miles, and it's not easy to test. We will have to wait until next year. ”
Cui Hao thought for a while and said, "Since it is not easy to pull tribute, then you can directly accept the prisoner?" As long as the silver is smashed, where can I not go? ”
Wang Ning hurriedly said: "No. If you get into it by yourself, it's not the same as spending money to get in, and it's not good if you dislike your classmates because of this. Erlang wants to be promoted to the imperial examination, so it doesn't sound good to be in prison like this. ”
Cui Hao said: "Since it has a bad reputation for going directly to prison, should I go to Xuezheng to walk around?" The matter of pulling tribute is an errand for learning politics.
When Wang Ning saw Cui Hao's appearance, he couldn't wait to go out to Wuchang Mansion (the residence of Xuezheng Yamen) immediately, and said busily: "Don't be impatient, Erlang has always been a child with ideas." When and how to enter Beijing, he is afraid that he has already made a plan in his heart. In the end, it's better to ask Erlang about his plans first. ”
Cui Hao listened, and didn't say anything like Erlang was still young, but thought about it, nodded and said: "Don't worry, uncle, my nephew doesn't do anything, he must follow Erlang's mind first, and he will definitely not force him to ......"
Looking at Cui Hao like this, Wang Ning only felt happy in his heart. Today is also considered a double happiness, and the original lonely outer nine rooms also have two more in-laws.
No matter what Cui Hao does, his nephew's heart is sincere.
Cui Hao's mood is obviously very good, his nephew will enter Beijing, and he will take the township test and the test all the way. When the time comes, he will be instructed to study hard and press down that Wang Sanlang fiercely.
However, his good mood lasted until the meal.
Wang Ning's family originally wanted to invite Cui Hao to sit, but Cui Hao just refused, in the end, he helped Wang Ning's family to stand up, he was on Wang Ning's left hand, facing a Taoist idiot.
When Mama Yan laid out the dishes, Cui Hao's face was a little bad.
On the dinner table, a total of six dishes were placed, four vegetarian cabbage, fried tofu, mixed ears, smoked thousands of zhang, two meat fried bacon and hibiscus stall eggs.
Stir-fried bacon and hibiscus omelette were placed in front of Cui Hao.
Cui Hao didn't think that he was being treated slowly, but he felt sorry for his nephew.
He looked at the two meat dishes in his eyes, and then at the two ancestors and grandchildren who were eating cabbage and tofu with relish, and stretched out his hand to move the two plates in front of him.
The idiot was looking at Cui Hao's reaction, and when he saw that he was going to change the dishes, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, grandmother and I are both vegetarians and don't eat meat, these two dishes are specially prepared for my uncle." ”
When Cui Hao heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, and said, "At a young age, what kind of vegetarian is you." No wonder you are thin, where can you grow tall by eating only cabbage and tofu. ”
The idiot said: "Uncle, I can't change it for the time being." ”
Seeing that he was serious, Cui Hao couldn't bear to say anything, but just glanced at Wang Ning in confusion, thinking about why the old man didn't persuade him.
Vegetarian and the like, it's not that I'm worried about how my nephew can eat less meat, but that I'm worried about my nephew's heart to be born.
Wang Ning said: "He didn't touch this when he was a child, and there were cases where his heart was in his heart, or his stomach couldn't stand it." Don't force him, wait for him to change slowly. ”
When Cui Hao heard this, he gritted his teeth vigorously, and his hatred for the twelve rooms deepened again. Even if it doesn't look pleasing to the eye, why should it be sent to the temple if there is no Grange in the other courtyard? Good child, how good can it be if you really have the heart to be born?
Except for this little episode, the meal was finally eaten without incident.
Cui Hao thought that he had been over for a long time, and it was almost time to say goodbye, so he said, "Uncle, nephew go to Erlang's house to have a look?" ”
Wang Ning smiled: "Let Erlang take you over." ”
She can sympathize with Cui Hao's mood, but she is just looking at how Erlang is doing in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
The two east chambers of the Taoist idiot glanced at it thoroughly, and then he sat down on the couch of the Arhat and said, "Erlang, do you want to enter Beijing with your family?" ”
This is what he thought of when he was eating, Wang Ning mentioned that his grandson wanted to enter Beijing and be imprisoned, but did not mention her arrangements. There are only two ancestors and grandchildren in this family, and looking at the filial piety of the Taoist idiot to Wang Ning's family, he will never leave Wang Ning's only son in Anlu.
The idiot nodded and said, "Uncle, Sister Shunniang and brother-in-law are in Beijing, and it is more convenient to wait for grandmother to arrive in Beijing, and want to see my sister." ”
Cui Hao laughed when he heard this: "Jingzhong is a good place to study. I have a few acquaintances and friends in Beijing, and the matter of the house will be handed over to my uncle. ”
Dao Idiot thought that the son of the world was a loving and multi-hearted character, and it might not be a good thing to prepare too early and frown too much, so he said: "Xu will have to wait for a year and a half to make the trip." On the uncle's friend's side, I'll bother you later. ”
Cui Hao nodded and said, "Whatever you want, it's not a big deal anyway......"
