Chapter Seventy-Nine: Succession
The extra two were women in their early thirties, and both of them were tense at this time, especially when Yuan Xuan ordered them.
"Who are you two? Yesterday I remember it was only these people, not the two of you, right? Yuan Xuan specially pointed out that the two of them were suspicious.
The two glanced at each other secretly, and at the same time knelt on the ground and cried: "Please be good with the lady and the old lady, don't drive the two of us away, take the two of us in." ”
Wei Mu didn't know what the situation was, she looked at Yuan Xuan in surprise and said, "What's the matter?" Didn't you buy these two people together with Cui'er? ”
Yuan Xuan smiled and shook his head at her slowly, then looked at the two of them and said, "Get up and talk first, who are you?" How did you get into our house? ”
The two did not get up, but replied pitifully and crying: "The two of us are from neighboring counties, and at the beginning of the year, there were several heavy snowfalls in our county. The snow crushed our houses, froze to death, and our families died.
We didn't want to stay there and wait to die, so we fled here with our blind dates. After arriving here, the two of us and our blind dates got separated, so we had to dress up as men all the time and make a living by begging.
But the county magistrate suddenly ordered us to be rectified a few days ago, and the two of us just wanted to eat well, and didn't want to fall into a dirty place, so we found this place, and begged Yu's mother, who was guarding the door in the house, to beg her to have mercy on us and give us a way to live......"
The two of them said a few words by themselves, and soon explained the way clearly, and after finishing speaking, it happened that Shi's mother came in with food.
After listening to their words, Yuan Xuan felt that they were indeed pitiful, but he felt that this opening could not be opened.
So when Mother Shi put her things away and was about to leave, she stopped her and said, "Mother Shi, slow down, you help me call Mother Yu to come over, I have something to ask her." ”
"Yes, the maid will go over, please wait a moment." Mother Shi hung her head and responded respectfully.
After she went out, Mother Wei looked at the others and said, "You all go back to your room first, don't move around at will for the time being, and then come out when my wife and I arrange things for you." ”
Everyone had no objections, and they all said: "Yes, the servant retired." After speaking, they saluted and walked away.
Grape first raised his eyes and looked at Yuan Xuan, and then looked at Wei Mu cautiously, not knowing whether to follow everyone or continue to stay.
Before Wei's mother could tell Grape about accepting her as a righteous daughter, she saw that her hands were clenched and she was uneasy, so she comforted her softly: "You don't have to feel scared, you're already hungry, right?" Come, sit down and eat with me and my wife. ”
Hearing this, Grape was even more frightened, and the cleverness of yesterday was gone, and he stared at Wei Mu with wide eyes.
At this time, she was afraid that when her mother came, she would tell her wife and the old lady about last night, and before she went to sleep last night, she went to find the thatched house, and then accidentally got lost.
After that, she walked to another courtyard, where she met Yu's mother, and heard a lot of sounds that she shouldn't have heard.
At this time, Yuan Xuan saw that she was frightened, so he chuckled and used chopsticks to clip a snack for her and said, "Little Grape, you don't have to be so restrained, this will be your home in the future." ”
These words brought Grape back to her senses, she took a few steps back in a panic, and then knelt on the ground with a puff and said: "The maid has thanked the old lady and the lady for their love, but the maid is lowly and does not dare to share the table with the lady and the old lady......"
Mother Wei looked distressed, put down the chopsticks and was about to get up, wanting to take her up by the hand.
Yuan Xuan hurriedly pressed his mother-in-law's hand, glanced at her, and said lightly to the other two: "You two go to the courtyard and wait first, which means that after your mother comes, you will come in and talk back together." ”
The two of them were looking with wide eyes and ears listening, and now they had to hang their heads and retreat.
After watching them walk away, Yuan Xuan let go of his mother-in-law's hand and nodded to her with a smile.
Wei's mother's expression relaxed, she got up and walked to Grape and said softly: "Grape, get up, listen to me, I like you very much, and I am going to change your identity to succeed you as a daughter, are you willing?" ”
The succession was decided by Wei Wei, and he thought that if he wanted to accept it, he would accept it thoroughly, and he could enter the Wei family tree.
Hearing this, Grape was shocked in his heart, and suddenly raised his head in disbelief and said, "Succession? ”
"yes, you know the step, right? Would you like to? Mother Wei gently stroked her hair and asked again with a smile.
Grape felt like she was in a dream, and when she saw Yuan Xuan looking at her soft smile, she knew that the old lady was serious.
She cried with joy, and excitedly threw herself into Wei's mother's arms and cried: "I understand, I am willing, I am willing to step, mother, mother ......"
This scene made Yuan Xuan's eyes moist, she gently wiped her eyes with her sleeve and smiled: "Okay, mother, let's eat with my sister, if you delay it any longer, things will be cold." ”
After hearing this, Wei's mother secretly wiped away her tears, happily took the grape's hand and said, "Don't tell others about this matter now, wait for your new household registration to be delivered in a few days, and my mother will ask the clansmen to do the succession." ”
This time the grapes no longer shirked, she wiped her tears and nodded again and again, and happily sat next to Wei Mu.
Yuan Xuan's appetite was good, he drank a bowl of millet porridge, ate two small meat buns, and ate seven points full.
Wei's mother didn't eat much, she was in a good mood at this time, and kept sandwiching things for the grapes, until the grapes patted her stomach shyly and said that she couldn't eat them, she began to eat some by herself.
More than a quarter of an hour later, the three of them put down their chopsticks and were about to get up to eliminate their food, when Shi's mother screamed in horror outside.
"Oh no, no, no, old lady, madam, sister of the Yu family, she doesn't know when she hanged herself, her tongue is sticking out......" Her voice was sharp and thin, and the people who listened to it panicked.
Although Wei's mother had covered the grapes' ears for the first time, the grapes were still so frightened that their faces were colorless, and they trembled uncontrollably in Wei's mother's arms.
Yuan Xuan's face also changed drastically, she immediately looked at her mother-in-law and said with a serious face: "Mother, you first take the grapes back to the room to read and read, and I'll go over and take a look." ”
If this matter is true, he can only tell Wei Wei and ask him to come back and deal with it quickly.
Wei Mu was not afraid, she pinched the earlobe of the grape and shouted twice: "Come back, come back......" and then looked at Yuan Xuan's uneasy advice: "Okay, don't be reckless, if the person is really out of breath, don't get too close, let Xiao'er come back to deal with it." ”
"Don't worry, mother, I know, then I'll go first." Yuan nodded in response, and then hurried out of the room.
Mother Shi outside was trembling at this time, her face was extremely ugly, obviously she was greatly frightened.
Seeing that the two of them were supporting her left and right, as if they were comforting, Yuan Xuan nodded secretly.
When he walked to them, Yuan Xuan stopped and asked Shi's mother, "Where is Mother Yu?" Did you find someone to put her down first? ”
