Search
The second master, Li Yan, arrived in Beijing on the afternoon of the 23rd day of the lunar month. (Crazy') happened to be Xiaoda, and everyone in Dongfu was very happy.
After the second master returned home, he first came to greet his mother. The second old lady pulled her son and couldn't say anything, just wept silently; The second master patted his mother's hand gently, his eyes were red, and there were faint tears in his eyes; Zhuo covered his mouth and nose with a handkerchief, trying not to cry too much; The fourth young master and the fourth young lady, the brothers and sisters, surrounded their grandmother and father, sobbing quietly. The girls inside and outside the house all saw that their eyes were hot, and some of the old family members who had been waiting for many years couldn't help crying.
Chunying let the little girls go out, and personally took the three of them to serve tea and send snacks to add incense and charcoal, and looked at the second master a few times.
When the second old lady noticed her son's down-and-out appearance, she was distressed: "How did you lose weight like this?" Don't even have good clothes? This robe is old, where is it still warm?! No wonder your hands are as cold as ice. Hearing this, Zhuo Shi hurriedly said: "Quickly move the charcoal tray over and bring my hand stove." Then she personally delivered the handstove to her husband.
Zhuo knew that he thought that this hand stove was exquisitely made, and it was a woman's habitual thing, so he was a little sad, and when he looked back at the magpie who followed her husband to the north to ask the second old lady to say goodbye, he suddenly felt a tightness in his chest, and scolded: "I thought you were a proper person, and the old lady let you follow the old man to the north, you see what kind of care you have taken care of the old man?!" It's hard work, sir. You're not going to make it up for him? The old man is in a hurry in winter, and you won't prepare warmer clothes for him?! The old man's clothes are old, don't you even have time to make new clothes?! How can you be worthy of the old lady's trust like this?! ”
The second old lady sighed and looked at her son. Li Yan smiled slightly: "It's not her fault, her son is busy with business in the north, and he doesn't dare to live up to the emperor's grace, so he has to tremble and fulfill his duties." Maybe I'm thinking too much and can't relax. Finally got the grace to return to Beijing, the son was in a hurry to come back, rushed overnight, the road was windy and sandy, wearing old clothes also saved good things, and when he got home, he came to see his mother immediately, and the son didn't have time to freshen up, which made him look embarrassed. The magpie is a conscientious person. is worthy of being trained by her mother herself, even if the border city is not abundant, she can still often find ways to supplement her son's body, and with her to take care of housekeeping, her son has a lot of peace of mind. The son should thank his mother for letting her follow him out. ”
The second old man bowed his head to be taught, and when Zhuo saw this, he couldn't say anything, so he had to say to the magpie lightly: "Since the old lady has spoken, you can get up and go down to freshen up first." It's been hard along the way, and you don't need to go to the house to set rules for these two days, so let's live and raise. The magpie kowtowed to her, then got up, and stood aside to listen to the second old lady's instructions, and saw the latter wave his hand, and then went down. Qingluan, who was beside Zhuo's side, immediately followed, and called two little girls when he went out.
The second old lady woke up and hurriedly said, "I almost forgot!" Hurry up, go quickly, the daughter-in-law will also go to serve, and when the bath is done, the kitchen will prepare a table of good wine and food. It's Xiaoda today, let's have a reunion dinner as a family! "Ordered Chunying again: "Didn't you just make a big velvet bell before?" Send it to the main courtyard and wash and put it on for your lord! Chunying was busy, and everyone dispersed without mentioning it.
Chunying was a little anxious and waited for news from her brother-in-law. The letter has been out of the house for a few days, and seeing that it is not a few days before Chinese New Year's Eve, why hasn't Brother-in-law Lu come yet? You know, now that you can open your mouth, you can also use "picking up your parents for the New Year" as a reason, and when it comes to the New Year, things will not be so easy. After the beginning of spring, several Zhuangzi will be sown, and the farming season is busy. If there is not enough manpower, who knows if his father will be pulled into a strong house?
Chunying smiled at her, got off the kang unhurriedly, put on her shoes, and walked out of Songyi Yuan at the normal walking speed, and immediately accelerated the speed of her feet, and when she reached the second gate, she saw her brother-in-law standing outside the door and wandering back and forth, so she trotted over: "Brother-in-law, why did you only come today?!" I've been waiting for days! ”
Chunying thought to herself, is it because of the second master's return? But she quickly put this question aside and asked directly, "Can Dad explain it to my brother-in-law?" Does my brother-in-law know how to talk about it? ”
Chunying was about to suggest that he find Aunt Xu, but suddenly heard Aunt Xu's voice coming from behind him: "Miss Chunying? As soon as she turned around, she saw Aunt Xu standing on the second door with a puzzled face, followed by several mothers-in-law. She hurriedly stepped forward to salute and explained her brother-in-law's identity to the other party. Aunt Xu put away her puzzled look at this time. He said, "When I came out, I heard that the old lady was looking for you, so go back as soon as you finish speaking." Chunying responded, and was about to mention her brother-in-law's intention to her, but who knew that Li'er ran out of the second gate and called her loudly: "Sister, the old lady called you!" After a little hesitation, Aunt Xu left, and she had to ask her brother-in-law to go to the second uncle's house first, and then come to Manager Xu later.
Zhuo Shi called her into the ear room, asked the second old lady about her diet and daily life as usual, and then inadvertently brought a sentence: "I heard Aunt Xu say that your brother-in-law came to ask for grace and wanted to take your parents to his house to be raised, do you know about this?" ”
"Oh?" Zhuo Shi took a sip of tea slowly, "What do you think?" You must be expecting me to say yes, right? ”
Zhuo Shi smiled. She should have known that Chunying has always been careful in her service, and she has reminded her of many things, and has made a lot of contributions, knowing that her old father has bad legs and feet, and is still hesitating whether to let the old man go out to live a happy life, which shows that Chunying is loyal. Her original doubts were dissipated without a trace.
But now she has confirmed Chunying's loyalty, and then thought about it: the descendant surnamed Hu is not a first-class slave, but a serious son of a good family, and when he marries Chunying back, if he still detains his father-in-law and mother-in-law as a slave at home, I am afraid that the kindness has changed into a grudge, it is better to let go early, let his family marry a daughter as a serious person, Chunying is more beautiful in her husband's house, and naturally misses the kindness of the old master even more. Besides, the Lu family husband and wife are not young, the road thighs and feet are not good, a few months ago, I heard that Chunying was inquiring about the prescription for treating leg wind, and Aunt Xu also said that he came to deliver New Year's goods on crutches, and he walked with a limp, even if he originally had some talent, how long could he use it? Besides, Daxing's Zhuangzi has been sold, and there is nowhere to house their husband and wife, so if they move back, they will have to divide the house for them to live in......
(It's going to be a record, tomorrow...... It's a historic moment! )!!
