Yun Jiao took a deep breath and comforted her grandmother: "Jiao'er has never drunk decoction, she is catching stones outside!" ”

Grabbing stones is a game that Yun Jiao often plays, and with only five rounded stones, she can squat in the corner and play for half a day.

Only then did Mrs. Qian put her mind at ease, leaned on the pillow steadily, let Yun Jiao feed her, and ate all the bowls of bird's nest.

Putting down the bowl and spoon, Yun Jiao helped Mrs. Qian, wanting her to lie down and rest for a while.

Old Madam Qian suddenly said in a loud voice: "Old man, where is Shilin!" Call Shilin! What about Shilin......"

Yun Jiao's hand, Qian Shilin, her third uncle, passed on to her eldest grandfather when she was a child, that is, her grandfather's elder brother, the eldest grandfather had no children in his life, and the third uncle was to inherit the heir.

I heard that my grandmother was very reluctant at the beginning, after all, it was the meat that fell from her body, and she was taken away without a full moon, how could a mother not be worried?

Yun Jiao didn't know if the second uncle had sent someone to inform the third uncle who was also in the imperial capital.

Speaking of which, except for the eldest uncle and second uncle's family in Laizhou, the rest of the relatives are all around the imperial capital.

My grandfather's family was originally farming on the outskirts of Dijing, and when I was young, my grandfather was a common official in the township - Lizheng.

Later, the imperial capital was crowded with many people, so the court ordered the construction of Laizhou City and urged the people of the imperial capital to relocate.

Don't look at the prosperity of this Laizhou city now, when it was first built, this place was extremely sparsely populated, because no one wanted to settle down here at that time.

The court and the central government also moved out a new order, and all those around the imperial capital who were willing to relocate their families would be rewarded with silver and rewards, and those who were willing to move with their children and grandchildren would be exempted from tax for several years, while those who stuck to their families would be taxed by ten per capita, and the men in the family would be whipped fifty each.

My grandfather had eight children, and although the eldest and second sons were all married, and the two older daughters were also married, there were still three daughters under his knees who had not yet reached adulthood, and he did not want to drag his family to a strange and barren land.

And he still has a selfish heart, if the family goes to the place where birds don't, won't the three unmarried daughters under his knees also have to marry and settle down there?

For the sake of the relatives of the remaining three daughters, he made up his mind that he would never move his family.

But as a lizheng, he needs to lead by example, and he can't afford to pay more than ten taxes, let alone suffer from the whipping, so he gritted his teeth and moved his eldest son to Laizhou City.

At that time, there was a squire in the village, and there was only one son left under his knees, if the family moved, the family property was okay, and it was okay to hire more mules and horses, but the business accumulated over the years could not be taken away, and it was better to rip off his heart without business.

But if the only son is allowed to go alone, then why not stop the heartache?

When he was in trouble, Yun Jiao's maternal grandfather learned of this, because this squire was usually kind, not a rich and unkind person, and he also took care of his neighbors, so he moved his compassion.

simply replaced the son of the squire with the second son, and also moved to Laizhou City with the eldest son, thinking that the two brothers in the family would be reunited, and they would take care of each other.

It's a win-win-win-win approach.

The squire was a grateful person, and later took Yun Jiao's grandfather to start a business, and the Qian family started from this, and after years of accumulation, the family gradually became rich.

Later, Yun Jiao's uncle had a serious illness and died, and he was thin under his knees, leaving only two daughters and a adopted son.

My grandfather lost his eldest son and turned white overnight, became seriously ill and was bedridden.

Only then did the second uncle take the second elder to Laizhou for the elderly, and he naturally took over the business in the hands of his grandfather.

"I'm going to bring Shilin back......" Mrs. Qian eagerly lifted the quilt, raised her legs and was about to get up, but suddenly screamed miserably and fell on the bed.

"Grandma!" Yun Jiao exclaimed in surprise and hurriedly went to check.

Mama Li was also busy.

"It hurts me......" Mrs. Qian's face turned pale, and cold sweat rippled.

Yun Jiao looked at her grandmother's right calf tied with a strip of cloth, but she could still see the strange twisted arc, she wanted to rub her, but she was afraid that it would hurt her even more under the touch, so the outstretched hand retracted, scratching her heart and liver in distress.

Suddenly, he remembered something, grabbed Mama Li's cuffs with his backhand, and asked her with red eyes: "Tell me quickly, how my grandmother's leg hurts!" ”

On the first day she came, she inquired about the matter, but Mama Li was hesitant and couldn't say why.

Later, she was forced to do nothing, so she said that her grandmother got out of bed to go to the toilet and fell by herself.

If that's the case, why didn't you say it earlier? And even if what Mama Li said is true, she should have fallen to her buttocks, how could she have fallen to her calves? Yun Jiao didn't believe this statement.

She knew that Mama Li would not harm her grandmother, but she also knew that there must be something else hidden in this matter.

Mama Li lowered her head to avoid her anxious gaze: "Girl, it wasn't ...... before"

"What you said before is not the truth," Yun Jiao was anxious in her heart, and interrupted regardless of the number of courtesies: "Mama Li, why don't you want to tell me the truth?" ”

"Girl, you ......" Mama Li wanted to speak and stopped, and finally despondently: "Don't ask!" ”

"Mama Li," Yun Jiao let go of her cuffs and looked at her with a straight face: "Since I was in front of my grandmother, you came, you and my grandmother are called master servants, in fact, they are like sisters, and they can be regarded as watching me grow up, I can afford to call my grandmother, today I have to kneel down and beg you, are you willing to say?" ”

As he spoke, he lifted his skirt and wanted to kneel.

"What is this girl, what are you going to torment me!" Mama Li hurriedly stopped her, full of helplessness: "The girl wants to listen, I just want to talk to you, but the girl must promise me not to be impulsive after listening." ”

As Yun Jiao said, she watched this child grow up, and knew that her temperament looked bland, but she was actually a person who valued love and righteousness, and it was precisely because of this that she didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that this child would be too impulsive and want to avenge the old lady, but hurt herself.

Yun Jiao is a girl's family, even if she knows everything, what kind of way can she come up with? If she has to theorize, she will suffer if she can't say it, and Mama Li will also think about it.

"Speaking of this, it is also iniquity.

At the beginning, when the old lady left, he handed over all the property of the shop to the second master, and the eldest lady of the long room only got some money, after all, the long house had no queen, and the second room recruited a son-in-law with Brother Sheng, and it was barely regarded as a continuation of the incense, and the family property was given to the second room in front of the family, including the eldest aunt and grandmother, and the second aunt and grandmother were present to see it with their own eyes, but the second lady did not admit it when she turned around, and kept saying that the old lady must have hidden her private interests and kept her money. In the future, he will leave his private property to the widow. Mama Li said and sighed.

Yun Jiao frowned, such entangled and vicious words were indeed the tone of the second aunt, she knew from the beginning that she was a person who was used to messing around, and she had nothing to do.
