Chapter 12 Waiting for Home
When Ma Pinyuan came out, the hall outside was already full of people, led by the current second owner of the Hou family, and Hou Qingquan's father Hou Kun, who was gentle and kind, and was known as the second master of Hou to the outside world. There are also a group of guys who are also following, and there is a stretcher outside the house that is specially used to carry people, which is fully prepared, and it is estimated that there is nothing to do with it later, so I plan to leave.
Where is Hou Qingquan willing to follow, he heard from the guy that Ma Pinyuan's purple sand teapot was broken, and he was even more reluctant to go, insisting that Ma Pinyuan go to his house to pick a pair of compensation for him.
Ma Pinyuan wanted to go back as soon as possible, so as not to make the family anxious, but he couldn't bear Qingquan's pleading, so he had to say, "Wait a few days, you can move and go again." ”
Hou Qingquan is also a person who is so eager that he can move, as soon as he heard that he could move again, he got up from the couch suddenly, and the guys behind him were frightened and hurried to help.
The second master of Hou also said, "Pinyuan nephew, don't shirk it, Xiao'er is guilty, it is difficult to say that you are not invited to eat and drink tea, you must accept this love today, otherwise the Hou family will be uneasy." ”
There are people outside this person, there are mountains outside the mountains, Ma Pinyuan is considered to have seen it, and he usually gets along, and he doesn't think that this young master of the Hou family is too enthusiastic, but he saw it today, and he is persuaded by the second master, so he has to follow, "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, and today he will disturb the house." ”
When he left the hospital, Ma Pinyuan saw the injured guy, who was already awake and his face was much better. Originally, it was an emergency that scared people, and the guy was not as serious as everyone said, but the doctor said that he was afraid of internal injuries, so he asked the guy not to move much recently, so the guy was also carried back and kept in the guest room of the second master.
Hou's family rules are different from the Ma family, and they have always adhered to the ancestral precept of dividing the family without dividing the property, so after the old lady Hou went, the two brothers Houcheng and Hou Kun did not divide the property, but the family members lived separately, Houcheng as the boss, lived in the East Garden with his relatives, and the second master Hou was in the West Garden, so Ma Pinyuan followed all the way to the West Garden of the Hou family.
Mrs. Hou was already waiting at the door, looking at the clear spring on the stretcher, and shouted vigorously, "My son, it's okay to go out in the morning, what's the matter." "I didn't see the guy on the stretcher, and it was not pleasing to the eye, and I drove the car and threw the person, but I really saw such a miserable person being carried back, and my heart softened a little, I really pity the hearts of parents in the world.
The elder sister Qingxiu, who was following Mrs. Houjia, also cried in the same way, and the youngest son next to her was still ignorant and didn't know what was going on, followed by her brother-in-law Zhu Yisheng, who was a little fat, and her youngest son Qing Shui, who was a little at a loss.
A group of people carried the young master of the Hou family in, and thanked Ma Pin for going to dinner, and there was a commotion along the way, Ma Pin was far from noticing that the time was so late, but he had to follow the custom when he arrived at the Hou family.
After taking a seat, Ma Pinyuan realized that there were really many people in the Hou family, the second master and Mrs. Hou sat on the top of the Eight Immortals table, Qingquan sat on the right hand side of Mrs., and there were already several layers of cotton pads on the armchair, I was afraid that this person who had just fallen would knock down, and next to Qingquan sat Qingquan's married sister Qingxiu, her eyes always paid attention to the injured brother, and she put her eyes on the son on the side, and this naughty youngest sat next to his little uncle Qing Shui, and Ma Pinyuan himself sat opposite Qingquan, and Qingquan's brother-in-law Zhu Yisheng on the side.
Such a big family get together to eat, Ma Pinyuan has not experienced, since he was a child, he has no mother, his father often stays in the mountains, and he often eats alone since he can remember, and then Mingxin's family suffered, and the two sisters and brothers came to eat with two more people, and only Mingxin has been left in recent years.
Fortunately, the eyes of the people at the table were all on Qingquan's body, and they asked if it hurt, and they asked if there was anything missing, and Hou Erye still sat with a pretended serious face, and coughed a few times, so that others noticed that there were still guests present.
"Sell far away, come, eat more, I really frightened you today, blame me, a son who doesn't know how to measure, I have a big trouble and I have to pull you to suffer."
After the second master Hou took the lead, Mrs. Hou also hurriedly sandwiched the vegetables for Ma Pinyuan, and the rest except for the little nephew who was not very sensible, everyone else expressed their gratitude.
Ma Pinyuan had to go on one by one, and then excused himself and said that it was just a trivial matter, and it was not worth thinking about it so much. And that Qingquan also likes to say, how to pull Ma Pinyuan out of the carriage, how to arrange people to go to the infirmary, and also added some heroism out of thin air. Ma Pinyuan became a young hero in this way, and he couldn't cry or laugh.
After the meal, Qingquan had to take Ma Pinyuan to his study to find the purple sand teapot anyway, and led the way in front with a cane, Ma Pinyuan followed and picked a set of teapots at random, before leaving the house, the Hou family also came to see each other, and told the coachman to send people back safely.
"So, when I came back just now, it was you who overturned on the road, I was really confused, I didn't go up to inquire clearly, and I missed you."
Ma Pinyuan was surprised, "Were you there at the time, it's okay, who knew that there could be such a coincidence, it was me who went out to play and caused such an accident, but don't tell my father, otherwise he will ask me to kneel in the ancestral hall again." ”
Steward Xiao seemed to be still blaming himself, and asked Ma Pinyuan how the injury was, although they have gotten along for the past few years, the relationship has become as close as father and son, and he can't pull down his face to change the dressing, so he only called his son Xiao Qiang, who is also on an errand in Ma's house, to come over to see the injury.
That son is different from Lao Tzu, he is an outsider, and Ma Pinyuan is also undressed and changed by him behind the screen, this kind of thing can't be done by himself. But while rubbing the medicine, he also talked to Steward Xiao, "I heard from the guy that you went out in the afternoon, what are you doing, he is angry with you." ”
When Steward Xiao listened to Ma Pinyuan's questioning, he remembered that Xia Zhongda said viciously that he wanted to see him in the evening, and he was so wronged that he forgot about it, "I only went to Lilac Garden to sit for a long time, and let me wait outside, as if I said something to Liang Xian, I don't know when they had contact, and after coming back, Xia Dongjia shouted to see you, and there was nothing abnormal about the rest." ”
"See me? Isn't it my father, that's a strange thing. Ma Pinyuan seemed to have seen something funny, and laughed.
"Then he didn't see me today, how can he stop."
"I breathed a breath and fell asleep."
"That's fine, we'll see what he can do tomorrow."
Steward Xiao suddenly felt that the horse in front of him had gone out for such a while, but it had changed, and he wanted to beat his chest this morning, but now he was so calm, young people always grow up quickly, and after living to such an age, he only longs for no disease and no disaster.
