Chapter Twenty-Six: Departure Again
It was late autumn and early winter, and the daughter of the Gao family, who was married far away in the capital, sent a letter inviting Mrs. Tan's mother and daughter and Yanya Yanmin to come to Beijing as guests.
So much has happened in Hangzhou City, the Gao family wants to let a few girls leave temporarily and recuperate for a while. Mrs. Tan also wanted to take Tan Yin away, so she wrote to inform Tan Jun that she was undecided whether she would go to the capital or return to Wujiang. Tan Jun knew that so many things had happened in Hangzhou, and he was also remorseful, and replied to ask them to go to the capital.
Tan Yin thought that Li Zheng had already gone to Shangjing, and coupled with the many unpleasantness that had happened in Hangzhou, she couldn't wait to leave Hangzhou immediately and fly to Shangjing with wings.
The Gao family discussed again and again, and decided to let the eldest prince escort a few ladies and ladies, and set off after the New Year. First, it is to temporarily avoid the right and wrong place of Hangzhou; Second, he also wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Xu brothers were in the capital to discuss the divorce.
Yanya also wanted to leave Hangzhou for a while, but thinking that Xu Linhai was also in the capital, she felt sorry in her heart, but the eldest prince went to the capital to discuss the divorce with the two brothers of the Xu family, hoping that she would also discuss it together, and seeing Tan Yin looking forward to going so much, she remembered that the three sisters could be together, and such an opportunity may not be available in the future, so she finally decided to go together.
Just after the first lunar month, the eldest prince escorted Mrs. Tan and several young ladies to set off with tears in their eyes while the old and young of the Gao family held hands and looked at each other.
The carriage traveled on the official road, the trees on both sides were sluggish, the cold wind was cold, and the villages and fields in the distance kept moving away. Tan Yin thought of Li Zheng, she hadn't seen her for a year, she didn't know what the situation was recently, and she was about to see him, she was both a little excited and a little timid.
When I came, it was lush and green, and the spring was bright, but when I left, it was dry and dry, and it was cold winter;
When I came, I was singing and laughing, full of anticipation, but when I left, I was silent and didn't know where to go;
When I came, I was in a hurry and my thoughts were knotted.
He and Li Zheng have been separated for a year, although Li Zheng has been correspondingly with Mrs. Tan, he has gone to Jinling and the capital one after another, and I don't know what the situation is recently. Thinking of Yanya's marriage turmoil, the matter between himself and Li Zheng has not yet been decided, and I just hope that it will be smooth sailing. Thinking that Mother Li didn't like her very much, she didn't know what to do to impress her.
Yanya was not good at words, but now she is even less talking, and she suddenly remembered some things.
……
Before the Spring Festival, Mrs. Xu personally came to visit the old lady of the Gao family and several ladies, which was the first time in several years. The Xu family carefully prepared gifts for the ladies and ladies, especially the old lady to send the Diamond Sutra written by the abbot of Huiji in Lingyin Temple, the abbot of Huiji wrote the scriptures that were rich and could not be invited, I heard that the eldest son of the Xu family took his own calligraphy and painting as an exchange, and asked for Mrs. Xu, Mrs. Xu has always loved like a treasure. What was given to Yanya was a golden hairpin inlaid with white jade and Tilian, which was given by Su Guifei.
On the one hand, Mrs. Xu was sincere, and bluntly said that she had asked the old lady for peace in the past, so that the old lady would forgive her, and she would come and go often in the future. On the other hand, she never mentioned the divorce, as long as the Gao family mentioned it, she would be sloppy, and only said that since the two families were in-laws, they should be close to each other and support each other. He also said that she loved Yanya very much, and said that she was beautiful and wise, and her temperament was pure and kind, and her meaning was self-evident.
The Gao family knew that the real master of the Xu family was not Mrs. Xu, and he had to deal with it if he didn't stretch out his hand to fight the smiling tiger, and he also knew in his heart that it would not be so easy to withdraw from the marriage.
Although several masters have different ideas, their opinions are unified, but Yanya's second lady Qian has her own thoughts, and her mother's Qian family muttered in front of her, the golden hairpin given by Su Guifei, and the handwritten Diamond Sutra by the abbot of Huiji, how can these be imagined by ordinary businessmen, it is rare to be such a golden beetle son-in-law, others can't find it with lanterns, but the Gao family has to give up the fat to the mouth, I'm afraid it's not a fool!
Qian didn't dare to openly disobey the decision of the uncle and her husband, but she was deaf to Yanya.
On that day, Qian looked at Yan Ya and said angrily: "Who doesn't want a husband like Xu Linhai in the whole city of Hangzhou, who sees me and I am not envious and jealous, saying that the Gao family is a blessing that I have cultivated in my previous life for eight lifetimes." It's good for you to push him out and withdraw from his relatives! What do you think in this brain! Your father is still indulging in you. ”
"After retiring from my family, how many good people are willing to marry my family, haven't you seen it in the past few months? Your uncle's father and eldest brother went around before, but anyone is willing to come over? ”
"Also, even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about your brother! He is only ten years old, and if he has such a brother-in-law in the future, what are we worried about! ”
Watching her mother walk back and forth impatiently, with an expression of hatred and hatred for her on her face, her nose exhaled one by one when she spoke, the butterfly wings on the golden hairpin above her head kept shaking with her exaggerated movements, and her thick fingers kept poking Yanya's temples. She still likes to wear red and green brocade clothes, and Yanya saw a bright butterfly walking around in front of her, talking and poking her, which was really a headache.
Yanya was very bored in her heart, but she was helpless against her mother, although she didn't like her mother's shallow snobbery, but she couldn't completely ignore her mother's love for her son, and she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.
But she could only be silent, Qian Shi saw that she didn't speak, looking like she didn't eat oil and salt, and gritted her teeth with hatred. This daughter has always been obedient, but she can't pull back eight cows, and her mother-in-law, uncle and husband have agreed, and she lost her temper at her husband last time, but she was reprimanded.
After more than a month of such dire conditions, now that she finally left Hangzhou, she finally became a lot quieter, although Yanya felt unfilial, but she was also secretly glad that it was a wise move to agree to go to the capital, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh in her heart.
Yan Min looked at Tan Yin and Yan Ya, and saw that the two of them were thinking about their own thoughts, and didn't want the two of them to continue to be dull, so she said, "I'll tell you a joke." ”
Once upon a time, a man was going to buy a well-spoken parrot to talk to him. The boss pointed to a bird by the window and said, "That bird is the best I have here, it can speak a thousand words, and it can use fifty idioms, it's amazing!" ”
The young man liked it so much that he bought it home. The next day, the young man returned to the pet store and complained to the owner: "This parrot doesn't know what's going on and won't say a word when he gets home." The boss thought for a moment and replied, "It's a bit abnormal." However, this bird likes to play with toys while here, and I suggest you buy a few of its favorite toys and keep them in a cage. ”
The young man took out the money and bought a few toys at the pet store. Two days later, the young man returned. "The bird still doesn't say a word, what's the matter?" The boss replied, "Shouldn't I buy him a basin for bathing and playing in the water?" "The young man bought another nice basin.
After another two days, the young man complained again that the birds still refused to say a word. This time, the boss was also worried, he scratched his head and said, "This bird likes to hear people praise it, and when I am in the shop, I often shake this bell to show my praise." The young man was reluctant for a moment, but still bought the boss's bell.
It seems that a pattern has been formed, and two days later, the young man came again, and the boss guessed that the birds were too lonely and lacked a companion. The young man said with an indignant face: I bought a bird to accompany it a few days ago. The boss also suggested that the young man buy another mirror so that the parrot could see itself in the mirror.
Two days later, the young man returned to the pet store again, but this time with the parrot. The boss noticed that the parrot was dead.
"What's going on, and it still won't speak?" The boss asked in surprise as he looked at the dead parrot.
"No, it finally spoke before it died."
"What did it say?"
"It said, "The young man learns the parrot's tone, 'Hey, don't pet stores sell bird food?' ”
Tan Yin burst out laughing, and then glared at Yan Min, who was also a good person.
"Laugh, laugh," Yan Min said with a smile, "Don't you see that this parrot won't die if he says it sooner!" ”
"You actually said that the two of us are parrots," Tan Yin looked at her with a feigned anger.
"A parrot is a good thing! , I don't have a mind when I say it. You don't say how people know what you think, and it's not the roundworm in your stomach. ”
Tan Yin looked at Yan Min, she had been so radiant, nothing seemed to bother her, and when she heard her profound words, she knew that she meant something.
The three sisters gossiped and looked forward to their upcoming trip to the capital.
The weather is still cold and the north wind is bitter. I traveled all the way, and after more than 20 days, I had already walked more than half of the distance.
……
One day it was dark, staying in a store, in the middle of the night suddenly heard someone shouting in the inn, it turned out that a show took the lady home, the lady was about to give birth, suddenly moved the fetal gas, it seems that it is about to give birth, and I can't find a stable woman for a while, it is really anxious to die.
Mrs. Tan and several young ladies hurriedly rushed to the lady's room, the lady was in pain for about a dozen hours, and the child was born in the afternoon, and the mother and daughter were finally safe, and several people were also greatly relieved.
Everyone else said that thanks to Mrs. Tan, they were able to keep their mother and daughter safe, although Xiucai was also thanking, his face was not very happy, and when he heard the discussion of the people around him, he knew that Xiucai didn't like the lady to give birth to a money-losing goods, and he was unhappy.
The three young ladies all felt cold when they saw this, his wife almost lost her life, just because she gave birth to a daughter, it was really chilling.
When they had breakfast the next day, they talked about yesterday.
"How can you blame a woman for giving birth to a boy and a girl, that lady almost died." Yanmin was very angry when he thought of what happened in the middle of the night last night.
"'It is up to heaven to give birth to a boy and a girl, how can you blame the little woman alone, since a man and a woman can only have a child together, then the natural birth of a boy and a girl is a common thing for both of them, how can you blame only the woman, the world is ignorant. What's more, the daughter is smart and cute, and she is the intimate little padded jacket of her parents. Tan Yin also answered.
Mrs. Tan saw that the two of them were indignant, and sighed: "Everyone in the world is like this, but in the seven outs, it is clearly said that there are no children to be abandoned, because they can't give birth to boys, how many women are divorced." ”
Tan Yin thought of her mother's regrets, and quickly diverted the topic and said something else.
Mrs. Tan saw her daughter divert the topic and saw that she was sensible and considerate, and sighed in her heart. The couple is the only one daughter, and they love her like a pearl, and they only hope that she can be loved by her lover and everything will go smoothly in the future.
