Chapter 64: Seeking Longevity
The young man looked at Mo Yanfei: "You don't know? The fourth master bought the plum garden because the plum blossoms in the plum garden bloomed well. ”
Mo Yanfei looked at the plum blossom on his index finger: "Oh, I thought it was because it was close to Hengsheng Commercial Bank." ”
"There are all the houses near the commercial house, and the fourth master is because the plum blossoms behind the yard are blooming well. My mother said that the plum blossoms painted by the fourth master when he was a child are like them, and the uncle still wanted to send the fourth master to learn to paint, but I don't know why the fourth master didn't paint. ”
"By the way, your mother has been working in Zhang's house for a long time, and now she is still in charge of the shopping in the courtyard of Second Master Zhang, right?"
"Oh, what to buy, it's just to buy vegetables and cook."
Mo Yanfei smiled: "Second Master Zhang is a gold shop and a pawnshop, and there are a lot of things that people eat and feed horses every day, which is enough for your mother to be busy." ”
The young man nodded: "Yes, my mother has to get up early every day to go grocery shopping." ”
"In the past two days, Uncle Zhang's side, the eldest lady has been at the funeral, and your mother has to be busy, right?"
"Yesterday, my mother followed our wife to the uncle's end."
Mo Yanfei sighed: "You say, this uncle of the Zhang family, the wife has just been gone for two years, and this daughter is gone, and the white-haired person sends the black-haired person, which is really pitiful." Now he is sad, all the funeral of the eldest lady falls on the second wife, right? ”
The young man nodded: "No, the eldest lady is so good, if she says no, it will be gone, and my wife is sad, and my mother has cried several times." ”
Mo Yanfei frowned: "It's quite sudden, is it really a good person who doesn't live long?" ”
The young man sighed with emotion: "This is all fate, my mother said, when the eldest lady was a child, the eldest lady told the eldest lady's fortune, Wu Laodao said that the eldest lady would not live to be fourteen, and the eldest lady finally spent 500 yuan of ocean to ask for the eldest lady's life, but I didn't expect 500 yuan of ocean to ask for three years of life." ”
Mo Yanfei looked at the young man with a regretful face: "Why haven't I heard of asking for longevity?" ”
"This thing was done by the eldest lady without her uncle, and most people don't know about it."
Mo Yanfei asked curiously: "Seeking longevity is not a shameful thing, why are you still hiding it from your uncle?" ”
"Who knows, my mother also listened to our wife."
Mo Yanfei blinked: "What did your wife say, tell me quickly, my father is fifty years old, if he is seeking longevity, I will also ask my father for longevity." ”
The young man looked at Mo Yanfei suspiciously: "Do you believe this?" ”
"I'm just a relative like my father, I can't think of letting him live a few more years."
The young man nodded: "Yes." ”
Mo Yanfei urged: "Tell me quickly, how did the eldest lady ask Zhang Yajing for her life?" ”
The young man frowned and said, "I heard my mother say that after Wu Laodao told the eldest lady that year, he said that the young lady only had a fourteen-year life. The eldest lady was in a hurry, and begged Wu Laodao to find a way, and Wu Laodao said that the only way was to seek longevity, but it would cost at least 500 yuan to seek longevity. The eldest lady didn't have that much money in her hand at that time, so she borrowed 200 yuan from our wife, and it took a year to pay it back. ”
Mo Yanfei fiddled with the ring in his hand and muttered, "Uncle Zhang is so rich, will he not be able to take out five hundred yuan?" Who can believe it? ”
"Didn't I tell you, the uncle didn't agree to ask for longevity, and the eldest lady used her own private money to hide it from the uncle."
Mo Yan asked puzzledly, "Why doesn't Uncle agree?" ”
