Chapter Seventy-One: The Yu Family in Gangneung Mansion
"Bet big, bet big, bet big!"
"Small! Small! Small! ”
"Hey, lost again!"
"Damn, come again!"
"Young Master Yu, you've lost three times today, and I'm afraid you'll have to lose your pants if you lose again."
"Hahahaha"
"Master has silver, what are you afraid of? I don't believe that this time I will lose my mother. Yu Hongji lost red-eyed, "All in!" Big! Big! Big! ”
"Open! Small~Banker wins~"
lost again, Yu Hongji lost all the money in his hand, and his face was full of gloom.
"Young master, let's go, stay any longer, I'm afraid the master will scold if he knows." The little guy next to him anxiously persuaded.
Yu Hongji kicked him and said hatefully: "What are you afraid of!" If the money is spent, just go to the grandfather's house to ask for it, anyway, he owes it to our family! ”
Gangneung Province Yu House.
"The old lady, the young master and Miss Biao are here." The porter came to report to him.
"Sister Yue'er is here? Hurry up, hurry out and greet you. When the old lady heard this, she was excited and anxious to get up, and asked her grandson Yu Hongze to go to greet her.
Gui Mingyue stood at the door of Yu's mansion, and after taking the little servant to report, she saw a tall white young man coming over.
"Big brother!"
"I still know how to go home." Yu Hongze feigned anger, turned around and looked at Gui Mingyue with a gentle face, and called, "This is the little cousin Sister Yue?" ”
"I've seen my eldest cousin, it's Yue'er." Returning to Mingyue Yifu, I looked up at my eldest cousin, and saw that he had a gentle bearing, a very kind face, and a kind view of the heart that made life close. Although it was the first time I saw it, there was no trace of rustiness, and Gui Mingyue thought to herself that this was the wonder of blood relationship.
When the group arrived at the inner hall, Gui Mingyue saw that the two old men in the hall were looking at him earnestly, and couldn't help but have some hot eyes, so he knelt down and kowtowed respectfully, and his voice was crisp: "Yue'er meets her grandfather and parents." ”
"Hi, good boy, hurry up, come on, let me take a good look." The old lady has a kind face, a hearty smile, and a tough body, Yu's Xiao's mother, which makes Gui Mingyue seem to see an elderly version of her mother. It was to feel very kind, half-squatting in front of my grandmother's knees, and letting her look at it.
The old lady looked at Gui Mingyue's bright eyes and slightly raised corners of her mouth, nodded with satisfaction, and turned her head to Yu Hongbo and said: "Your sister is clearly a slender fit, which is the fat and slippery you said in your letter!" ”
Fat yo-yo? Gui Mingyue couldn't help but have a black line.
"Uh...... Grandmother, how can you tear down my table, I mean a little fatter, cute, yes, cute! Yu Hongbo snorted. My cousin was really fat before, but she lost weight along the way, and she couldn't help but blame herself for not taking good care of her.
"Don't bully your sister." Old lady Yu, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, seeing that her favorite daughter also had her own child, and she was still born with such a graceful bearing, she couldn't help asking, "How is your mother?" ”
The old lady who asked a sentence also began to wipe her tears.
Gui Mingyue looked up at her grandfather, who had only passed the age of sixteen and had already had white hair, and blurted out: "Mother is all right, but she has been thinking about the second elder, and she is guilty of not being filial piety. ”
"Okay, Yue'er hurry up and sit down, I slept in the open along the way, but I have suffered your child." The old lady pointed to a middle-aged woman sitting on the side and introduced, "This is your aunt, and next to her is your eldest sister-in-law, Zhen." Gui Mingyue hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
The "good boy" aunt took off a white jade bracelet from her wrist and stuffed it into Gui Mingyue's hand, Gui Mingyue knew that its quality was extraordinary when she saw it, and it should be a beloved thing that she had worn for many years. I looked at my grandmother at a loss and saw her nodding with a smile, knowing that the elders' gifts were indispensable, so I had no choice but to accept them.
Zhen took out a brocade handkerchief, on which were finely embroidered begonias, and then looked at the handkerchief itself was a rare mirror flower silk.
Gui Mingyue hurriedly thanked her, and looked up at Zhen, although she was wearing a brand-new satin skirt, the color was too bright at first glance, and there were neat pressed pleats on it, which should be old clothes.
If you look at your grandmother, it's all the same. The furnishings in the hall are also quite old, and along the way, although the mansion is not small, it is indeed empty, and there are not many people.
Gui Mingyue couldn't help but feel sour in her heart, but her face was no different from usual.
"You are Brother Yao'er and Brother Xuan," Gui Mingyue said as she looked at the two boys standing beside her sister-in-law Yu.
The two boys got up, bowed respectfully with a look: "Meet my cousin" The polite little appearance instantly amused Gui Mingyue.
Gui Mingyue took out two golden fruits made of pure gold with five taels from her arms, and handed them over one by one.
"Oh, you can't" Zhen was shocked: "How can you give such a valuable thing to a child." ”
"Sister-in-law, in this case, the mirror flower silk handkerchief you gave will not dare to accept it that Yue'er."
"This ......," Zhen turned his head to look at his father-in-law, Yu Hongze. Yu Hongze smiled and nodded, and Zhen let the two children take care of it.
The old lady pointed to the girl who had been silent at the bottom, and said, "This is your cousin, Sister Qian." ”
"Good cousin" I saw that this cousin was slender, with a small melon seed face, delicate eyebrows, big eyes, and watery eyes, which made Gui Mingyue think of the word Chu Chu moving.
"Qian'er has seen Cousin Yue" Yu Qianqian got up and said a blessing, her voice soft and slender. After finishing speaking, I didn't forget to look at this cousin secretly.
"Hey, as soon as Yue'er came, everyone only cared about her, and they didn't look at the big living person here!" Yu Hongbo saw that everyone knew each other, and couldn't help but shout.
"Where else is there anyone, why haven't I seen it." Yu Hongze deliberately teased him.
"Big brother!"
"Hahaha, how old are you both, why are you still playing around like you were children. I'm not afraid to make Yue'er laugh. The old lady sneered.
"The grandson visited his grandfather and grandmother, and the grandson went out for a long time, which made the second elder worried." Yu Hongbo stepped forward and knelt down.
"Get up, I'm sorry for you, and your grandmother and I have received the things we sent along the way." Yu Hongbo said that he traveled around to enjoy the scenery, but in fact, he also did some small business along the way, but whenever he encountered rare and good things, he would ask someone to stay back. That mirror flower silk was occasionally obtained when he went to Shudi.
The old lady also looked at the two grandchildren lovingly, and couldn't help choking up a little. She only has a son and a daughter in her life, the daughter married far away to Nanyang, almost no news, her son fell ill and went early, leaving his orphans and widows, fortunately, the eldest grandson Ze Ge'er has a good temperament and loyalty, and has been struggling to support his own workshop over the years, and has married a wife and had children; The second grandson, Bo Ge'er, is bold and cheerful, and has worked hard outside in the past few years, and all the money he earns is secretly subsidized to the family; Although this little granddaughter Yu Qianqian is a little cowardly, she can be regarded as obedient and sensible.
After meeting, the eldest daughter-in-law and Zhen went to the kitchen to eat. Yu Hongze also went to the workshop director, and Yu Qianqian took his two nephews to play.
Only Gui Mingyue, Yu Hongbo and the two old men were left in the house.
Yu Hongbo stepped forward, did not avoid Gui Mingyue, took out a stack of silver tickets from his arms and handed it to his grandmother. Said excitedly: "This time, my grandson got the furs and pearls from the far north, and bought them to the south along the way, and he made a net profit of more than 5,000 taels in just one month. It's a pity that we can only take a few goods on the road at a time for fear of encountering bad people......"
"Okay, okay, just come back safely." The old lady touched his shoulder lovingly, looking at his slightly rough face at a young age, and her heart couldn't help but have mixed feelings.
Hey, Mrs. Yu couldn't help sighing, speaking of which Bo Ge'er was only fifteen or sixteen years old, he had no father since he was a child, and he grew up under the knees of his old couple, and when it came to feelings, he was naturally closer. Now that he has not yet reached the crown, he is running around for a living, and his grandfather is full of guilt.
How could Yu Hongbo not know what the second elder thought, giggled for a while, picked up interesting things outside and told the old man, and this sad atmosphere was over.
Yu Hongbo looked at the second elder and suddenly said with a straight face: "All the money earned by the grandson is left to the grandfather and grandmother to prevent old age, and it is not allowed to be given to the family in the second room!" ”
"Oh, don't give, don't give." Old lady Yu hurriedly agreed.
"Hmph, I said I didn't give it, I didn't give it to ...... several times before" Old Lady Yu glared at the old man and muttered angrily.
When Yu Hongbo heard this, he jumped up angrily, and said bitterly: "Grandfather, the second room has sucked our family's blood for so many years, hasn't it sucked enough?" Not to mention the previous few shops, even the last head shop has been lost to them, and now there is only this small workshop, which is still in turmoil. If we don't force us to be cornered, won't they give up! ”
"Shut up! Is that what you should say? Old lady Yu slapped the table and scolded angrily.
"I ......" Yu Hongbo was about to refute, but was pulled by Gui Mingyue, although she didn't know what the origin was, but seeing that her grandfather insisted so much, it was obviously useless to argue at this time.
Hey, Mrs. Yu can only sigh, after so many years, no one can persuade this stubborn old man.
As soon as Gui Mingyue waved his hand, Jin Qi'er and Yin Shen'er commanded the little servant to carry down two boxes and a box from the carriage, the first box was full of medicinal supplements, and the second was the clothes, shoes and socks made by the Yu family for the second elder, all year round.
"The second girl has a heart...... Old lady Yu touched a set of clothes made for herself by her daughter, and her anger was extinguished at once.
"These are prepared by my mother for my grandfather and grandmother, and next, I am given to the second elder by Yue'er." Gui Mingyue said and opened the box, and there were two foreheads in between, one was black velvet gold silk inlaid with jade, and the other was carved with silk brocade embroidered ink chrysanthemum inlaid with cat's eye jade pieces. The former is used to keep warm in winter, and the latter is used to protect against heat in summer.
Gui Mingyue personally took out the black velvet one and put it on her grandmother, and asked her grandfather playfully: "Are my maternal parents good-looking?" ”
The old lady couldn't help blushing, and slapped the back of Gui Mingyue's hand, "Leather monkey, what are you talking about." ”
"Good-looking, good-looking!" Mrs. Yu knew that his wife was annoyed by the affairs of his second brother's family, so he hurriedly said that it looked good.
Gui Mingyue and the two maids below couldn't help laughing, they didn't expect the living atmosphere of their grandfather's house to be so warm and relaxed.
She loved it.
At that moment, he took out a pattern drawing with the "Ten Views of Dongting" from the box and unfolded it in front of his grandfather.
Mrs. Yu is worthy of being a craftsman with outstanding skills, and when she looks at the style drawing, she understands the wonders. I was overjoyed at the moment, put the pattern map in my arms, and led my grandson and granddaughter straight to the workshop.
