Old Lady Qu and Old Lady Qu looked at each other and smiled, and Old Lady Qu said, "Thank you for your love for Zhi'er." Zhi'er was able to follow her son, which was her blessing. ”

Zuo Gui's father interjected: "Why doesn't the old lady succeed the heirs of the clan, continue the incense, and pass on this house?" ”

Old lady Qu shook his head: "That's it, passing the step-heir is just self-deception, and it can't be regarded as an old incense." It's still a gift to Ling Lang, and it's okay but it's a wish. What's more, the old man still has a little selfishness, and he will have to work hard in the future. ”

"The old lady has something to say."

"Well, the old man's daughter-in-law is still young, and the old man doesn't want him to keep the festival for the unfilial son, so he has ordered her to return to her mother's house after the rebellion is quelled, and choose a husband to marry another ......"

Mrs. Qu burst into tears.

The old lady Qu took a breath, and slowly continued: "The old man and his wife, both of whom are over the age of old, have not lived for a few days. The affairs around him are also taken care of by Aunt Long, and she doesn't have to worry about it. There is only one thing, that is, the old husband and wife will return to the west in the future, and they want to bother to make Lang An's funeral to the end. - So, speaking of giving the old house to Ling Lang, in fact, it was a trick to ask for trouble, and Ling Lang wanted to send my husband and wife to the end in the future. If Ling Lang is unwilling, it doesn't matter. ”

Only then did Zuo Gui understand that the old lady Qu gave the house to Zuo Shaoyang with a condition, and he would give them the second elder a final burial in the future. Brushing his beard, he turned his head to look at Zuo Shaoyang: "Zhong'er, what do you think?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang understood in his heart that the idea of Mrs. Qu must have been made after thinking and thinking, his son died, there was no grandson, only Bai Zhihan, a granddaughter, was left, and she was also the flesh and blood of the Qu family, so she wanted to give this ancestral property to her granddaughter Bai Zhihan, but now her granddaughter's identity is her own slave, if she gives it to Bai Zhihan directly, she will make herself very embarrassed, if she gives the house to herself, she will be grateful, she will treat Bai Zhihan well, and even marry her as a wife, which is equivalent to giving it to her granddaughter.

The attached conditions for the final burial are actually just a disguise, and the coffins and cemeteries of the old couple are available, and they can't post any money for this funeral. If you want to say that they are doing funerals, in fact, they have Aunt Long by their side, and they have some family wealth, and it is not a problem to send them to the end, and he deliberately and solemnly put this forward as a condition, which is nothing more than to cover up his previous purpose, the most critical joint of this gift actually fell on Bai Zhihan.

Zuo Shaoyang turned his head to look at Bai Zhihan, and saw that her flush had disappeared, and her pretty face was still as cold as frost, not happy or sad, as if what she said had nothing to do with her, thinking that with her ice and snow intelligence, she must have guessed her grandfather's intentions, and with her current status, it is inappropriate to make any statement, pretending not to know is the most clever, and I can't help but admire this little girl's sophistication.

However, Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to affect his choice of his wife's original match because of this mansion, and he didn't want to take advantage of it, so he arched his hand and said, "Thank you, old lady." Please rest assured, the second elder will do my best in the future birth, death and burial, Zhi'er will follow me, and she will not be wronged. Aunt Long is an old servant of the Qu family, dedicated to the Qu family for a lifetime, after the second elder returns to the West in the future, I will also do my best to support Aunt Long in her old age, and I will not let Aunt Long have no support for the rest of her life. ”

When Old Lady Qu heard Zuo Shaoyang's words, she obviously understood what she really thought, and couldn't help but be happy, with a hint of a smile on her face, she looked at Old Lady Qu and smiled, and nodded slowly. Aunt Long had tears in her eyes, and she bent down and saluted, "Thank you, Young Master Zuo." With the words of the young master, the old body is at ease. ”

Zuo Shaoyang then arched his hand and said: "It's just that this old mansion is the ancestral property of the Qu family, and what I have done is insignificant, so I can't accept such a generous gift." ”

"The son promised to take care of the back half of the old husband and wife, but he refused to accept this old mansion, because he wanted to be old and self-conscious!" Old lady Qu was in a hurry and kept coughing.

Zuo Gui and Liang were also very embarrassed and looked at Zuo Shaoyang.

Zuo Shaoyang sighed and said: "I already understand what the old lady means, the old lady used this old mansion to give it to me, in addition to letting me take care of the second old man in the future and let me take care of Zhi'er for the rest of my life, I'm afraid that I also have the intention of letting me help you survive the famine, right?" ”

Old Lady Qu and Old Lady Qu glanced at each other, and when they heard Zuo Shaoyang guess the real intention, they couldn't help but be grateful and a little embarrassed.

Zuo Shaoyang said: "This second elder can rest assured, I have already thought about it, the food that was given to you before will definitely not be enough to support the end of the famine." Now the general stipulates that each person can only have one bucket of grain, so he doesn't dare to send you more, and the general gave my family some grain before, so it is no problem to ensure that your family has two or three months of rations. When the food rations for a few of us are almost finished, we will bring in more food until the famine is over. ”

Old lady Qu They have experienced too many wars, and this war is not expected to end in a short time, four buckets of rice are not enough for three people to support for a long time, old lady Qu gave the old house to Zuo Shaoyang, indeed as Zuo Shaoyang said, firstly, he wants to increase the weight of Zuo Shaoyang's choice of Bai Zhihan as his wife, and secondly, he wants to ask for some more food to survive this famine. It's just that this one is really hard to speak, thinking that with Zuo Shaoyang's surname and Bai Zhihan by his side, he won't die without help. So this was never spoken, and it was not even mentioned.

Now Zuo Shaoyang actually took the initiative to make it clear, saying that they would provide food after eating, and this worry was lifted, and the stone hanging in the heart of the old lady Qu fell to the ground, he was really surprised and happy, and sighed: "Old and decrepit, thanks to meeting Gongzi, I was able to survive, it is really a blessing!" ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly bowed down and said: "The old lady is serious, our family doesn't talk about the two families......"

He said this casually, but after saying it, he felt that it was a little easy to make people ambiguous, but it was too late to change his words, but seeing that Old Lady Qu and Daddy Zuogui were all happy, they understood their words as marrying Bai Zhihan as a wife and concubine, but if they want to explain, they don't know how to speak, anyway, this possibility is not ruled out, so there is no need to explain.

But in the end, it was a little unnatural, I looked back at Bai Zhihan, and saw a smile on the corner of her mouth, and when I saw that I looked over, I hurriedly put away my smile, and I looked indifferent.

Old lady Qu said: "Since Zuo Gongzi already knows Lao Yuan's intentions, and has promised to help Lao Yuan's family survive the famine, please accept this mansion." ”

Zuo Shaoyang shook his head and said, "I can't accept it." ”

"Why?"

"Now that there is a famine, many people have to do a lot of things that are forced to do helplessness, I am not a gentleman, but I am not a villain who takes advantage of people's dangers. Even though the second elder really wants to give me the house, I don't want others to think that I am taking advantage of others. I still want this face. ”

"This ......" Old Lady Qu was dumbfounded, and looked at Old Lady Qu.

Old Lady Qu said, "In that case, how about giving it after the famine is over?" ”

Zuo Shaoyang said: "It's not good after the famine, when the world is peaceful and the grain is rich in the future, when the old lady and the old lady go to the crane fairy, the second old man still wants to give me the house, so I can consider whether to accept it." ”

Old lady Qu said: "Zuo Gongzi, you ......"

Zuo Shaoyang waved his hand and said, "I have made up my mind, the second elder doesn't need to say more." ”

Old lady Qu sighed: "Then let's compromise, the courtyard of my old mansion is very large, there are four of us, it's too lonely, it's old, just want to have a lively time, just ask Zuo Gongzi and your family to move to the old mansion to live, and it can be regarded as accompanying us two old people, so good?" ”

Old Lady Qu also laughed and said: "Yes, this army is in chaos, this old mansion has high walls and deep courtyards, and it is better to avoid thieves and robbers than your wooden house." It's also lively when we live together, the house is empty, a few of us live, it's scary to be empty at night, if only you could live in and accompany us. Neither of us is an outsider? ”

"This ......" Zuo Shaoyang turned his head to look at his father Zuo Gui and his mother Liang.

Zuo Gui's father said: "Since the old lady has this meaning, what he said is also the truth, and now that the army is in chaos, it is safe to live in the mansion." ”

Liang also smiled and said, "Yes, Zhong'er, what the master said is right." It's just a matter of borrowing it, and I'll talk about it when it's too peaceful in the future. ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded and said, "Since the old lady and the old lady are so kind, and the second old man is willing to move over, then let's move here for a while." ”

Old lady Qu said happily: "Okay! That's it! There is a small courtyard on the west side, there are more than a dozen houses, the living room, kitchen, and toilet are all available, and the four of us moved to live, where there is a separate courtyard door leading to the outside. Your family will live in my current compound. ”

Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly said: "No, no, if this is the case, we will not move, how can there be a reason for the guests to squeeze the host away to live in another place." I think there are a lot of houses in this house, we can live wherever we want, the second elder does not need to move to the West Garden, he still lives here, and there is a good care on both sides. ”

Zuo Gui's father also said: "Yes, yes, if you want to vacate the house, then we really don't dare to move over." ”

Old lady Qu sighed and said, "Okay, then we still live here, Zuo Langzhong, you husband and wife and the little apprentice live in the small courtyard in the west, and Zuo Gongzi and Zhi'er live in Zhi'er's original small attic in the back garden." How's that? ”

Zuo Gui nodded and said, "Okay." That's good. ”

"Yes," Liang also smiled and nodded, and said to Zuo Gui: "Master, in this way, our room in Guizhitang can be transformed into a special women's detention ward, and male and female patients are separated, which is more convenient." Master Qiao's family can move to the ward to temporarily take care of Miss Qiao'er, and the medicinal herbs in the room can be moved to the garden to find a room to put it. What does the old man think? ”

Zuo Gui nodded and said, "That's good." I'll move here tomorrow. ”
