Chapter 274: The Yu Family's Old Things

The two people who were being talked about by Cheng Zirui had already arrived at Guinanpo outside the capital, there were several families at the bottom of the slope, a few children were playing outside the house, the green ox was working in the field, and the butterflies flew by, causing the yellow dog to chase naughtily. Just because it is lunch time soon, the curling smoke is reflected at the foot of the green mountains, and the prosperity of the capital is clearly two worlds.

There are few outsiders here, although the carriage is simple, but the appearance of Yu Chong driving is too outstanding, and it immediately caused excitement in this small village. Tong Yuqing lifted the curtain of the car and looked out curiously, and when someone saw that the person in the carriage was better-looking, they were even more curious about the identities of the two.

The carriage stopped at one of the gates, and a child pulled a woman out, pointing to the carriage as she went, not knowing what it was saying. Yu Chong got out of the carriage with Tong Yuqing in his arms and went straight to the gate of this house.

"This son and lady ......"

Yu Chong pulled Tong Yuqing to stand in front of the woman, and directly pointed out his identity. "I'm Yu Chong."

The woman was stunned at first, and then ran into the house with a shocked face. "Daddy! Father! ”

Before the stunned child could react, the child cried in fright when he heard someone outside ask who they were.

Tong Yuqing was a little at a loss, but Yu Chong had a faint smile on the corner of her lips, and there was something in her eyes that she couldn't understand.

"Husband......

"Dad, slow down." The woman who had run into the house came out again, followed by an old man with gray hair. The old man was in a hurry, and almost fell when he crossed the threshold.

Yu Chong let go of Tong Yuqing, and his body flashed to the old man's side very quickly, holding him steadily.

"Watch out."

Because of his words, the old man burst into tears in an instant. The woman was shocked and hurriedly stretched out her hand to hold him steady, "Dad, you take care of your body. ”

"Little master? Are you a young master? The old man grabbed Yu Chong tightly with his backhand, for fear that he would run away. Probably because he was too old to see clearly with a pair of eyes, or he was too excited, he repeated the sentence seven or eight times just now.

Yu Chong's heart warmed, and he couldn't help but slow down his voice. "Songbo, it's me, Yu Chong."

He turned around and called Tong Yuqing to his side. "Somber, this is my wife. Qing'er, this is Songbo. ”

Tong Yuqing looked at the old man in front of him and shouted obediently. "Somber."

After thinking about it, Tong Yuqing directly ripped off the veil and smiled softly at the three people who were amazed in his eyes.

Songbo became more and more excited, his eyes seemed to have endless tears, and the previous question changed from the previous question to the word "good" seven or eight times. After saying that he had stopped, Song Bo remembered the woman next to him, "This is my daughter-in-law, Xiulan." This is my grandson, Yu Zhi. ”

Tong Yuqing's eyebrows jumped, this is also surnamed Yu?

"Dad, let's go in and talk." Xiulan looked at Yu Chong and Tong Yuqing deeply, hugged Song Bo again, and led the people into the house.

It looks poor outside, but Tong Yuqing can see at a glance that this house is full of expensive goods. The square table in the room looks very ordinary, but it is actually the best large-leaf red sandalwood. There are also several low stools stacked in the corners of the walls, all made of black pear. Although the tea served by the woman to the guests was only ordinary tea leaves, this tea set was a fine porcelain that only the wealthy could afford......

"Somber is the person my father trusts the most."

Seeing her doubts, Yu Chong leaned into her ear and whispered an explanation.

Songbo sighed and said, "It's just a little guy in front of the master." ”

Although the things in this house are not as good as Yu Chong's house and Mrs. Yu's house, they are more than enough compared to Yu Wenyi and Xu Shuyuan's new house. If it weren't for someone close to and trust, how could a small guy get such good treatment.

"When I left the Yu Mansion, you were only that old, young master." Songbo gestured with his two hands in the air, and when he finished the gesture, he laughed first. "Look at me, how many years ago was this."

The room burst out laughing in unison.

Song Bo looked at Yu Chong, then at Tong Yuqing beside him, and said with relief: "Obviously, it feels like it was only two days ago, but in a blink of an eye, the little young master has already become a family." Song Bo wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and his gaze fell on Tong Yuqing's stomach again. How many months has it been? ”

"It's been six months."

"Good, good!" Songbo said several good words in a row, and then raised the back of his hand to wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes. "The Yu family has a future, a future."

Xiulan was a little worried, "Dad, be careful of your body." ”

Songbo is old, and his health is indeed not as good as before. Yu Chong also followed Xiulan's words and persuaded him: "Uncle Song, we have to bother here for a few days, we have something to say slowly." ”

As soon as Yu Chong finished saying this, Songbo laughed again. After laughing stopped, he remembered that this was already a meal, and urged Xiulan to hurry up and cook.

"Why don't you see your son?"

Yu Chong glanced inside and outside the house and asked curiously. Songbo's face suddenly sank, and he waved his hand unwilling to mention it again, and the child's mood also fell suddenly.

Tong Yuqing and Yu Chong glanced at each other, and they tacitly agreed not to mention this matter again.

Xiulan is skillful, and ordinary meals can be made with different tastes, and Tong Yuqing, who is already greedy, can't help but eat an extra bowl. After drinking and eating, Yu Zhi sensibly helped to collect the dishes, and when he was about to help wash the dishes, other children outside were asking him to go out to play. Yu Zhi stood at the door with some heart, and when he saw Xiulan nodding, he disappeared as soon as he slipped away.

Tong Yuqing rolled up her sleeves to help Xiulan wash the dishes, but Xiulan stopped her and said with a smile: "Madame is a guest, how can there be a reason to let guests do this." I don't think Mrs. is doing rough work at all, which shows how much the second master loves Mrs. Madame go over and talk to them first, and I'll leave it to me here. ”

Looking at Xiulan Lisuo's appearance, Tong Yuqing couldn't help but praise: "Whoever can marry a daughter-in-law like you is a blessing." ”

Xiulan's expression was the same as that of Songbo and Yu Zhi, and Tong Yuqing's eyebrows jumped. After thinking about it, she pretended to be unintentional and asked, "Why don't you see Yu Zhi's father?" Is it out? ”

"Hmm."

Xiulan would not lie at all, and her perfunctory answer and sad look showed that something must have happened to Yu Zhi's father. Tong Yuqing walked up to Xiulan and grabbed her wrist.

"What's going on?"

Xiulan was taken aback by her sudden sharp momentum, and subconsciously struggled with her hand, only then did she realize that the strength of Tong Yuqing's hand was so great.

"Song Bo doesn't want to say it, Yu Zhi doesn't say it, now even you are like this, did he have an accident, or did he abandon his bad wife and live a good life in a rich family?"

"He's not that kind of person!" Xiulan seemed to be startled by her sudden raised voice, and then the tears of grievance fell.

Tong Yuqing let go of her wrist, "That's an accident?" Seeing that she was only concerned about wiping her tears, Tong Yuqing was ruthless and said, "Then I'll go and ask Songbo directly." ”

"Don't!" Xiulan stopped her, "Dad is already angry about this, and I can't mention this in front of him." ”

Tong Yuqing slowed down her tone, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Xiulan wiped a handful of tears, gritted her teeth hatefully for a while before telling the story.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the year before last, Yu Zhi's father was going to Beijing to make up for some New Year's goods, but he originally took the mountain road, but he didn't expect to accidentally slide down, and he rolled down to the official road, and accidentally collided with the carriage of Mrs. Wu's family. At that time, there was a young lady sitting in the carriage, and she accidentally knocked her head, and the young lady directly killed Yu Zhi's father on the spot.

Xiulan and the others waited for a day without seeing anyone come back, and the next day they went down the mountain road to find out, only to learn that the person had been dead all night.

"Seeing that it was about to be the first month, good people were killed. Dad is angry, and he wants to go to Jing Zhaoyin to report the case. But the officials protect each other, and we have nowhere to justify it. Because of this, my father was stunned several times, and his health became worse and worse. Dad is such a son, and now the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, how can he not be sad. During the time of the accident, my father had to hide and cry for a while every night, and his eyes became more and more clear......"

Xiulan sniffed and wiped away a handful of tears. "A year later, someone from the official family came to me specially and his words were full of threats. We are just ordinary people, where can we fight with officials. No one dared to mention this again. ”

"Official? Mrs. Wu? Tong Yuqing sneered.

Xiulan chuckled in her heart, "Madam, you won't be ......"

"Don't worry, my husband will seek justice for you."

Xiulan's heart became more and more uneasy. "But the Yu family has ...... If the imperial court knew that the second master was still alive, would it ......?"

Tong Yuqing glanced at Xiulan twice, could it be that their family didn't know Qing'an's identity at all?

"Don't worry, the second master has his own arrangements."

When he walked out of the kitchen, he saw Song Bo and Yu Chong sitting in the yard talking interesting stories about his childhood. Tong Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she took a stool and sat next to Yu Chong, and listened seriously.

"The little master was too naughty when he was a child, once he stole the calligraphy and painting that the master bought and hung it on the old pear tree in the house, and I don't know where to find a few knives. The old man was very angry at that time, and told me more than once that if it weren't for the good-looking child, he would definitely be beaten hard. ”

Yu Chong also remembered this and couldn't help laughing. "But I remember that my father was very generous at that time, and he regained a lot of calligraphy and paintings, so that I had a good afternoon of playing."

Songbai waved his hand, "The ones in the back are all painted by himself on weekdays, and they are not worth anything at all." It was the one that the little master broke first, which was painted by the famous Chen Yong and was worth a thousand gold. At that time, the master begged Chen Yong for a long time, and the baby was always placed in the study, but I didn't expect it to be discovered by you, the little master. ”

"Chen Yong?"

The two of them spoke in unison, and their eyes were full of surprise.
