Chapter 168: Pairs and Pairs (I)

As soon as these words came out, Master Wang was shocked at first, and the old woman in his heart was shocked, she must not be an ordinary person.

After three questions and two questions, I learned that this old woman's surname is Xun, and she is now eighty years old, and she was originally the richest family in Qingyun County.

She had an only son under her knees, and her husband died early, so she was obedient to her son from the moment she was along, doubly drowning (ài).

When the son grew up, he married the Zhu family, and his life was harmonious. Not long after he got married, his wife gave birth to a daughter and two sons for him.

When the eldest daughter went out, Xun Furao's son and daughter-in-law also settled down, and the rest was to raise the two sons to grow up.

This (rì) is better than one.

There are unforeseen storms and rains, and people have good and bad luck.

In the second year of the eldest daughter's marriage, Song Liao went to war, and the imperial court conscripted soldiers and forcibly took away her two fifteen or sixteen-year-old grandsons.

This Mrs. Xun is the daughter of (xìng) (qíng) Zhuanglie, and her father was also an old minister in the imperial court. immediately followed his son and wanted to go to Beijing to face the saint and explain the matter.

He took a few shēn servants with him and left. The son and daughter-in-law are left at home, and every (rì) washes his face with tears.

Because this son (jiāo) was so bad that he couldn't bear the pain of losing his son for a while, he and his wife both hanged themselves and hanged themselves.

When Li You heard this, he immediately thought of what Uncle Shi had said to him before, but he didn't expect it to be right. Heart, this world is really exaggerated.

For a while, his interest was aroused, and he hurriedly asked Zhao Banxian to continue.

But Mrs. Xun is old, and the emperor is the Ninety-Five, how could she meet an old woman in person?

After being driven away by the guards of the capital, she fell seriously ill several times, and the servants on the side of (shēn) also left one after another.

There is only one maid named Xinghua, who has always taken care of her.

When the body was almost recovered, Mrs. Xun went home, but Xinghua did everything she could to obstruct her.

Her heart, this maid Ping (rì) is obedient to her, what's wrong with it now?

After repeated questioning, Xinghua asked Mrs. to be calm after hearing this. Otherwise, even if you kill her, you won't say half a word.

Her heart is introverted and strong, and she should respond.

So, Xinghua hanged his son and daughter-in-law (shēn) to death, and came out euphemistically, and after the words were finished, he also sobbed silently.

"Alas, what have I done?" The old lady cried bitterly, and the old tears were all over the place.

Fortunately, Xinghua knew about it in advance and gave the old lady a preventive shot.

If she sees this (qíng) scene after she returns, she will definitely die of a heart attack.

"Madame, you can rest here for a while, and I will go and find your granddaughter to come back and pick you up." Xinghua left such a sentence and planned to leave.

Before leaving, Mrs. Xun sold her jewelry and took out half of it for the apricot blossoms as a coil on the road, and the other half was enough for her expenses for a few months.

This wait is a few months, and the apricot blossoms still have not returned.

And the husband had already run out of money, and as soon as he was in arrears for a house and meal, he was kicked out with his luggage by the innkeeper.

She came out of a powerful family, and she always stretched out her hands for clothes, opened her mouth for food, and at the age of a handful, she couldn't work hard to make ends meet.

The only thing you can do is beg on the streets.

Along the way, she was thinking about it while walking, until she came to Yuncheng County and saw the words on the stone tablet, so she remembered that her family had a field here, and hurriedly found Lord Lin's house.

The landlord's family is a family of two, Sun Biao and his wife Zhou.

With no children or daughters, the old lady rented her land to his family and left it to them to take care of, never asking about the harvest, as long as she handed over the rationed amount of grain on a monthly basis.

"Yo, isn't this Mrs. Xun, why are you so depressed now? Listen, your son he ......"

Seeing that his wife was disrespectful, Sun Biao hurriedly pushed her and asked her to come into the house to work. After that, he beckoned the old lady into the house and prepared soup and rice with his own hands.

After he was full of food and drink, Sun Biao with a sad face: "Mrs. Xun, you have also seen this year, Yuncheng County has been affected by the disaster, and the crops have not been harvested, and this year's grain will be ......."

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'm not here to ask for food."

"Then Mrs. Xun came, why did you come?"

When the old lady heard him ask, she first sighed, and then told her all about her past and backwards.

After hearing this, Sun Biao snorted his teeth: "Tsk, this is really a white-haired person sending a black-haired person." ”

"Sun, I don't ask for anything else, only to take me in for a while (rì) before I find my eldest granddaughter."

Seeing that the old lady bowed her head and was speechless, he continued: "Mrs. Xun, you and I can't refuse. But this year, you've seen it, it's not that I don't want to take you in, it's just that the two of us can't open the pot. ”

Whether she can uncover the pot or not, the old lady is naturally bright-eyed.

When she was experiencing her just now, she found that Zhou had been eavesdropping by the door, presumably this Sun Biao also listened to her.

"Well, then I won't bother you."

After speaking, the old lady dragged her rickety body (shēn) and walked outside with two steps and one stop.

Sun Biao really couldn't bear to do this, so he walked quickly to the warehouse ruthlessly, intending to load her with some rice.

When his wife Zhou saw that he was carrying a rice bag and was about to walk out, she immediately stopped him, and after retrieving the rice bag, she was stupid:

"You're a little measured, can we have this little food (tǐng) through this year, and you still want to give it to that old immortal?"

"Smack!"

The angry Sun Biao didn't say a word, went up to slap her, and then snatched back the rice bag.

After that, Zhou, who didn't care about crying, caught up with the old lady directly, and handed her the rice guiltily, without saying a word, and walked back to Wuzheng without looking back

After leaving Lord Lin's house, the old lady embarked on a journey to find her relatives again, and then came to the yamen.

Seeing that there was vegetable porridge to receive, they lined up.

In the middle of the old woman's words, because it was raining, she was invited into the mansion by Master Wang After waiting for her to finish, she looked at Lord Wang's ugly face, and said earnestly:

"I have also lived half my life, and I have experienced many things, and when I think about it, it is fate. If it weren't for my excessive drowning (ài), my son would not have sought death. ”

Listening to the old woman's words, the younger generation also benefited a lot. Why don't you stay here temporarily, and I will ask someone to help you find your relatives? ”

When the old woman heard this, she burst into tears, and whimpered: "Thank you for taking me in, my old lady is here to bow to you." ”

After speaking, the old lady stood up from the chair, but was stopped by Master Wang.

"Don't don't, torture me, get up quickly!" Holding the old lady's arm, he sighed:

"We are also fated to do this, you look like my hard-working mother, which has aroused my troubles. If you really can't find your family, treat me as your son, and I will give you a pension and filial piety! ”

When this old man Wang ordered someone to buy some simple clothes, he gave them to Mrs. Xun.

After finishing the makeup, Mr. Wang found that she was more like his mother.
