The pannier chair was carried into Wang Juma Hutong, Yongning lifted the sedan curtain and came down, looked at the ordinary house in front of him, and knocked on the door.

The door creaked open from within, and a small maid peeked out of the crack.

Yongning said to her: "I'm looking for Lin Zongqi." ”

"Unfortunately, our master hasn't been released yet."

"Then your wife is here?"

"Yes." The maid looked Yongning up and down, and saw that she was dressed and talked extraordinarily, "Who is the lady?" ”

Yongning reported his name and surname, and the maid listened to it and hurriedly went in to spread it.

In a short time both doors were opened, and out came a woman in her forties, with a face like a silver platter, and a short figure, and her eyes narrowed into a line when she smiled.

Yongning knew that this was his uncle's wife, Wang, and hurriedly called "uncle".

"Oops! Good girl! Wang hurriedly came over to help her, carefully looked at the niece in front of him, tears gleamed in his eyes, "I haven't seen her for many years, it's a big difference, but I miss my aunt so much." ”

The Wang family has only one son, no daughters under his knees, and he is very envious of his sister-in-law Lin who can have a pearl in the palm of his hand, at that time, the Lin family just passed away in childbirth, and Feng Zhengze was an official in the field, although the Lin and Feng families did not have much contact, and the Wang family often took Yongning over, for fear that she would be bullied by several aunts in the Feng Mansion.

"My nephew's daughter misses her aunt too!"

"Good, good!" Wang wiped his tears with a handkerchief and took Yongning's hand, "It's windy here, let's go in and talk." ”

The Lin family is not prosperous, and it can't be compared with the Feng family, and the house is much smaller, and there is no so-called step by step, all the layouts are mainly practical, but they seem to have a lot of life.

The two sat down in the flower hall, and their own maids came over to pour tea and fruits.

Wang looked at Yongning, as if he was looking at one of his own works, and couldn't help but feel relieved and emotional: "It's really a woman's eighteen changes, my aunt still remembers that you were only so old when you and your father first went to Zhejiang, but I didn't expect to be such a dignified and beautiful girl now." ”

"My aunt hasn't changed at all, and she is still as beautiful as before."

Wang's music blossomed: "The mouth has also become sweeter." ”

The two exchanged a few words of greeting in the family, but the Wang family was still afraid that Aunt Zhu would bully her, so she asked repeatedly: "That little woman of the Zhu family didn't embarrass you." ”

Yongning had nothing to hide, and 1510 told the Wang family everything Ms. Zhu had done.

Wang's face became darker and darker when he heard this, and he put the tea cup in his hand on the table heavily, his face bulging like a toad, and greeted Ms. Zhu's ancestors for eighteen generations.

"I'm so angry! This little prostitute dares to abuse our Sister Ning like that. I'll go to Feng's house to ask for an explanation! ”

Seeing her spitting all over the place, Yongning really stood up and hurriedly grabbed her: "Uncle! Calm down! ”

Wang sat down and took a sip of tea angrily, and the more he thought about it, the more guilty he felt: "It's all my fault, I shouldn't have agreed to let you follow your father to Zhejiang in the first place." ”

"Auntie, don't say that, there is only one Zhu family over there, and there are several aunts in the ancestral house in the capital, as well as a few big houses and three rooms, but they are not vegetarians."

"Hey......" Wang sighed, "Your mother shouldn't have married into such a Longtan tiger's den in the first place." ”

At this time, it was reported that the master was back, Yongning stood up and saw a middle-aged man with a beard and a flying fish suit striding forward with a large bag and a small bag.

"Uncle!"

"Sister Ning is here!" Lin Muying was so excited that she wanted to give Yongning a bear hug, but seeing that she was already a big girl, she had to stretch out a fan-like hand and pat her on the shoulder, "Uncle is busy with things in the yamen today, and he came back late, forgive me." ”

Beizhen Fusi, a place where the common people of the capital have to take a detour when they see it, according to the legend, the people in it should be fierce and evil. But although Lin Muying looks heroic and majestic, he looks simple on weekdays, a real strong man in the north.

"Uncle is working hard."

Lin Muying raised her hand and handed the oiled paper bag she was carrying to Yongning: "Look at what your uncle brought you." ”

As soon as he got off the office, a small servant in the house came to report. Knowing that her niece was coming, Lin Muying enjoyed all the way, and on the way, she remembered that Yongning was greedy when she was a child and loved to eat all kinds of snacks and snacks, so she went around to collect famous foods in the city for her.

Yongning took the pile of oil paper bags, and when he opened them, he saw that there were fire, black sugar, chess cakes, and pig's head meat made by the Hua family in the banknote Hutong...... All sorts of things.

Wang looked at it and scolded Lin Muying: "You're good, do you want to raise Sister Ning as a pig?" ”

She has always been direct in her speech, and sometimes even vulgar. Yongning listened to it but felt that his aunt was very interesting, and smiled and showed his silver teeth: "This is my uncle's intention, even if I am fat and a pig, I am happy." ”

"Look at your gluttonous look!" Wang listened and tapped Yongning's skull with his finger.

*

In the evening, Wang personally cooked to entertain Yongning.

Yongning took advantage of this moment to chat with Lin Muying and talked about his only son. Yongning asked, "Uncle, how is Cousin Hengyang doing?" ”

Lin Hengyang, like his grandfather and father, likes to dance with guns and sticks since he was a child, and he has served as a thousand households in Shanxi Xingdu Siwei Yuanwei Tiancang over the years. He soaked all his youth in the desert where there was no grass, flying sand and rocks, and he was stationed on the frontier far away from his parents and relatives for n years, Lin Muying said that he was not distressed and regretted that it was false, but fortunately, he also mixed up some fame.

"This heartless one," Lin Muying sighed, "It's not young, and he won't listen to him when he goes home to ask for a daughter-in-law, and he stays in that kind of place where birds don't all day long, and it's probably all wild." ”

Yongning smiled and comforted: "A good man has ambitions in all directions, and it is not too late for my cousin to make meritorious contributions and return to his hometown." ”

Unexpectedly, Lin Muying became more and more emotional: "Over the years, the treasury has been empty, the army is tired and the people are lacking, and the Tatars have kept violating the border, if it goes on like this, I am afraid that the border will become more and more difficult to stay." ”

This is a fact, and Yongning can't say anything else to persuade him.

While the two were silent, Wang led the maid to bring the food up and asked the two, "What are you two talking about?" ”

Lin Muying replied: "I'm talking about Hengyang." ”

"This stinky boy!" Wang mentioned that his son was quite resentful, "When he comes home, I won't kill him, it's not filial piety at all, how many times has he come back over the years?" You can count them on one finger. ”

Lin Muying still defended his son in front of his wife, and hurriedly explained: "It's not that he doesn't want to come back, the border war is tight, do you think he can go away?" Besides, there are a lot of people who don't come back to send letters. ”

Wang scolded a few more words and beckoned the two of them to come over for dinner.

It's all home-cooked food, and Wang's craftsmanship is very good. Yongning had a great appetite, chatting with Lin Muying and his wife while eating, and left behind the family motto of not saying anything to eat and not to sleep.
