Chapter 193: The Jiang Family's Old Butler
Zhuo Xiangyu, who didn't get Xu Yueqing's answer, looked depressed, and before he could ask anything, Xu Yueqing pulled Zhuo Nianqi to the house in her impression.
The family of three stopped not far from the door of Uncle Jiang's house, Zhuo Nianqi curiously pointed to the house where they parked and asked, "Mommy, are we at the housekeeper's grandfather's house?" ”
Xu Yueqing nodded, then shook her head again, pointed to Uncle Jiang's house with the door open, and said to Zhuo Xiangyu who looked puzzled: "That's Uncle Jiang's house." ”
Zhuo Xiangyu's eyes widened suddenly, full of surprise, "How is this possible, I obviously have a pension for Uncle Jiang, why does he still live in such a ...... In a dilapidated house? ”
Xu Yueqing burst out laughing, and nodded pretending to be mysterious, "Xing, I know the reason why Uncle Jiang did this!" ”
Zhuo Xiangyu frowned, he couldn't guess Xu Yueqing's pretense of being mysterious, so he could only use the dead method - ask.
But Xu Yueqing didn't seem to hear his question at all, put away the smile on her face, and sighed, "Let's go!" I think Uncle Jiang should have been waiting for me for a long time. ”
Zhuo Nianqi felt that her mommy had become more and more incomprehensible since she came to D City, so she looked at her curiously with wide eyes, "Mommy, did you call the housekeeper grandfather before you came?" ”
Xu Yueqing pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, and gently patted Zhuo Nianqi's head, "Where did the phone come from here, there is no signal, what does Mommy mean...... Children don't understand! ”
was blocked by Xu Yueqing's words, Zhuo Nianqi felt very depressed in his heart. set his eyes on Zhuo Xiangyu, but he also shrugged his shoulders to himself and said that he couldn't help.
When they arrived at the door of Jiang Bo's house, although the door was open, the family did not rush into the door, but first looked around the house and found that there was no figure of the owner in sight, so Xu Yueqing reached out and knocked on the door.
"Anyone? Is anyone there? ”
Jiang Bo, who was originally in the room and opened the photos of himself and his wife when they were young, was stunned when he heard the movement, he came back to his hometown to live for nearly ten years, except for a few good fellows around, no one has ever come to look for him, let alone knock on the door so politely.
This voice sounds familiar!
Jiang Bo carefully recalled in his heart who the owner of the voice was, but unfortunately too much time had passed, and he couldn't remember it.
Just when Xu Yueqing, who was waiting outside, thought that Jiang Bo was not there, Jiang Bo put down the photo album and walked out of the back room.
Xu Yueqing's tears suddenly blurred her vision the moment she saw Jiang Bo, but Jiang Bo put down a hanging heart the moment she saw Xu Yueqing. was stunned at first, and then reacted consciously, and his expression kept changing between surprise, relief, and complex emotions.
"Uncle Jiang, I'm here!"
What a simple opening sentence, but it made the old Jiang Bo burst into tears, and suddenly rushed to Xu Yueqing and hugged her, "Miss! ”
Xu Yueqing hugged Uncle Jiang without the slightest embarrassment, and the joy of reuniting after a long absence made the scene almost out of control, "Uncle Jiang, have you been okay all these years?" What's the problem? ”
"No trouble, no trouble!" Jiang Bo waved his hand again and again, regardless of the tears on his face, and smiled heartily at Xu Yueqing, "I'm an old immortal, half of my body is in the dirt, where will anyone come to me for trouble?" ”
Uncle Jiang's answer made Xu Yueqing feel relieved for a while, she had been worried that the affairs of the Jiang family would not affect the old man's old age well, but now it seems that she may be too worried.
Jiang Bo brought a family of three into the house and personally made tea for a few people to drink, and then began to prepare for a good talk.
"Miss, where have you been all these years? How are you doing? Uncle Jiang couldn't guard the Jiang family when the Jiang family was defeated, and he was sorry for the old lady, and he ...... Having lost contact with Miss, Uncle Jiang is really guilty in his heart! ”
Xu Yueqing looked at Jiang Bo with concern and self-blame, and patted his hand comfortingly.
"I'm doing pretty well, but I wronged you Uncle Jiang and guarded this dilapidated house. With your weight in the Jiang family, you should have a good place to spend your old age in peace, but you ended up with this......"
Xu Yueqing held Jiang Bo's hand and refused to let go, but found that the big hand that often caressed the top of her head lovingly in her memory had become rough due to the passage of time and the polishing of life, and her palms were also covered with calluses.
Uncle Jiang was embarrassed and wanted to withdraw his hand, "Miss, Uncle Jiang is so old, he has already enjoyed everything he should enjoy, and the bitterness he felt when he was young will not feel bitter now." However, Miss has been put in the palm of her hand by the old lady since she was a child, and the Jiang family has become what it is today, and it is Miss who suffers. ”
Xu Yueqing smiled indifferently, then pushed Zhuo Xiangyu and Zhuo Nianqi in front of Jiang Bo, pointed at Zhuo Xiangyu and asked with a smile: "Uncle Jiang should still recognize who this is!" ”
Uncle Jiang, who has only been around her since Xu Yueqing's appearance of the eyes, realized that she had brought someone here after Xu Yueqing's reminder, and glanced at Zhuo Xiangyu carefully, first stunned in place and couldn't come back to his senses, and then suddenly realized, "This is the young master of the Zhuo family?" ”
Zhuo Xiangyu nodded and greeted Uncle Jiang, and then replied in a brisk tone, "If Uncle Jiang doesn't dislike it, I prefer Uncle Jiang to call me uncle." ”
Jiang Bo suddenly nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, yes...... If the old lady knew that Young Master Zhuo had become the aunt of the Jiang family, it would be regarded as a wish fulfilled. ”
As soon as he saw Zhuo Nianqi again, Jiang Bo was even more excited, hugged him and asked Xu Yueqing excitedly, "This must be the little master, right!" It must be yes, it's exactly the same as when my uncle was a child. ”
Xu Yueqing nodded to prove Uncle Jiang's guess, which made Uncle Jiang want to hurt Zhuo Nianqi into his bones.
Suddenly, Jiang Bo let go of Zhuo Nianqi, turned around and walked to the edge of his bed, rummaged through and picked it up for a while, and then found a small wooden lacquer box, Jiang Bo looked excited and handed the small box to Xu Yueqing.
Xu Yueqing first took the box and looked left and right, the wooden lacquer box was engraved with fine patterns, and there was some weight in his hand, which showed that this box was very valuable, I don't know how precious the contents were?
At Uncle Jiang's signal, Xu Yueqing gently opened the box. I saw a pair of pendants made of gold and jade quietly placed on the red flannel cloth cushioned in the box. The pendants of the two pendants are a piece of Guanyin and a Buddha, which makes people feel that they are priceless things.
How could Uncle Jiang have such a precious thing?
Xu Yueqing moved her gaze to Uncle Jiang suspiciously, "Uncle Jiang, what is this pendant?" ”
Jiang Bo smiled and took out the Guanyin pendant in the wooden lacquer box, and explained to Xu Yueqing while putting it on for Zhuo Nianqi, "These two pendants are a pair, and the lord and the lady got them at an auction back then.
It is said that it cost 60 million, and it is traditionally believed that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha. But the lord and the lady are such a child as you, and when they got this pendant, the young lady was already an adult again. Therefore, the lord and the lady planned to use the pendant as the dowry of the young lady, and when the young lady had both children in the future, it would be passed down from generation to generation. ”
Hearing Uncle Jiang talk about his parents, Xu Yueqing was even more tearful, she didn't expect her parents to plan so long-term, but unfortunately things are wrong, and these things have become her last thoughts about her parents.
Seeing that Xu Yueqing seemed to be in love with the pendant, Uncle Jiang was even more sad, "Later, the Jiang family was defeated, and when I left the Jiang family, I accidentally found this in the room of the master and the lady." Thinking that since it was passed on to Miss, naturally it couldn't fall into the hands of outsiders. I kept taking them with me, hoping that I would have the opportunity to give them to the young lady in person. ”
Xu Yueqing wiped the tears on her face, "It's not too much to live up to my parents' intentions now, although I haven't been able to keep the Jiang family, but Uncle Jiang, you have brought out the most important intentions of your parents." ”
Jiang Bo patted Xu Yueqing's shoulder, thinking of how the Jiang family was back then, and then thinking of asking others now who still remembers the Jiang family more than ten years ago, but no one nodded their heads, and sighed again in his heart.
Xu Yueqing knew that Uncle Jiang was still sad about the events of the Jiang family, and she wanted to speak several times, for fear that mentioning the death of her parents would make Uncle Jiang fall into painful memories again, so she finally chose to change the topic.
"Uncle Jiang, Xiangyu once looked for you back then and asked you to go back to be the housekeeper of the Jiang family's old mansion, but I heard that you refused without thinking about it."
mentioned that Zhuo Xiangyu came to the door back then, Jiang Bo still glared at Zhuo Xiangyu with some dissatisfaction. But he didn't answer the question implied in Xu Yueqing's words, but looked at her with a worried face, "Young Master Zhuo came to the door back then and said Miss, you are missing, what is going on?" ”
Although Xu Yueqing had already let go of the past, when she mentioned it again, her face still stiffened for a moment, and then she smiled disapprovingly.
"It's nothing, running away from home at a young age made the people around me worried, and now everything is over, what are you doing with the old things again!"
Uncle Jiang is a smart person, and he doesn't force her to say anything if Xu Yueqing doesn't want to say it, "Although Uncle Jiang is old, he is not old and confused. When Young Master Zhuo found me at that time, he asked me about your whereabouts, I was already angry in my heart, and I didn't see you, Miss, how could I believe what Young Master Zhuo said in the name of Miss! ”
Afraid that Uncle Jiang's rehash of the old matter would cause him to have a bad impression of Zhuo Xiangyu and make everyone embarrassed, Xu Yueqing immediately calmed Uncle Jiang's emotions, and then looked at Uncle Jiang with disgust.
"Anyway, Xiangyu gave you a pension back then, what kind of place do you choose to retire, you have to go back to this dilapidated mountain village ravine, and I'm not afraid that you will be so old that your body will not be able to stand it."
At the mention of pension, Zhuo Xiangyu's eyes suddenly lit up. Xu Yueqing didn't explain to him, so he listened to the explanation of the main lord in the same way.
