The second uncle of the Lu family looks to be in his thirties, and his face is more aging than his cousin Lu Yougui, black and thin, and he wears inconspicuous cloth clothes, but he has good facial features, and he has a sincere temperament, which makes people feel more cordial at first sight.

After he entered the door, he first touched Chunying's head and asked, "Are you all cured?" If you want to eat, tell the second uncle, and the second uncle will keep it for you. Chun Ying smirked twice and carefully stepped aside, for fear that the second uncle would find out that someone had been replaced in his niece's shell.

Mother Lu came up and said hello: "Why did you come here at this time?" Have you eaten? Unfortunately, your eldest brother has just eaten drunk and has already fallen asleep. ”

Second Uncle Lu looked at the elder brother on the kang, stomped his feet and said, "I rushed over as soon as I heard about your family, why did my brother fall asleep?" Then I'd better go back. He put the cloth bag in his hand on the table: "This is what I brought back from Jiangnan, there is a bag of Yunling in it, my sister-in-law crushed it, and I get up early every day with a cup of boiling water for Chun'er to eat, and it is the most suitable for people who are weak." There are still two pieces of material at the bottom, which are not good, so my sister-in-law will keep them to make clothes for the children. Then he paused, and took out some pieces of silver from his bosom.

Mother Lu was already very happy when she saw the things in the cloth bag, and when she saw that he was going to give the silver, her face struggled for a moment, and she pushed: "No, no, these are enough, your eldest brother knows that I have accepted your silver, and he will definitely scold me." ”

Second Uncle Lu simply put the silver on the table: "The silver I gave to my nephews and nieces has nothing to do with the eldest brother, and my sister-in-law just keeps it." I didn't give it for nothing, if my sister-in-law has free time, she will give me a few more pairs of shoes, and the few pairs I gave before the Mid-Autumn Festival last year have been worn out. ”

Mother Lu exclaimed: "That's a thousand layers of bottom!" There are eight pairs! All worn out? She sighed, "You say you run all day long, what is the use of getting more money?" Tired people are so thin that they look like they are twenty-eight years old, and they haven't married a daughter-in-law yet. If you mess around like this, how can you rest assured that your eldest brother and I can do so? ”

Second Uncle Lu smiled, but didn't answer, only said: "I'm leaving, when the eldest brother wakes up, my sister-in-law will tell him to come to me tomorrow." After that, he touched Chunying's head again, and hurried out.

Chunying grabbed his hair that was a little messy by him, muttered "Why do you always touch my head", and when she saw her mother carefully putting away the silver, she asked with some curiosity: "Mother, what is the second uncle's errand?" How could it be that in half a year, eight pairs of shoes were worn out? ”

Mother Lu looked at the materials in the cloth bag and replied casually: "It's just running errands for the masters above." When he went down to the south of the Yangtze River this time, he heard that he went to a few Zhuangzi placed in the old years in the mansion, and bought some items by the way. Although this kind of errand has many benefits, it is also extremely hard. Your second uncle is out for more than 200 days out of 360 days a year, he can't eat or sleep well, and he doesn't even have a person to sew clothes. ”

Chunying listened and felt that something was wrong, since there were a lot of benefits, how could the second uncle dress so ...... Ordinary? Could it be ...... Did he do it on purpose?

She kept an eye on it, maybe the second uncle of the Lu family was not as honest as his appearance.

"What's the daze? The dishes are cold, eat quickly! Mother Lu moved the candlestick closer, looked at the texture of the material clearly, and sighed twice: "This is the best Songjiang cotton cloth, look at this, it is a three-shuttle cloth, keep it for your brother to make two clothes, if there is any leftover, make a small coat for you, okay?" ”

Chunying looked at it, only knowing that it was two white cloths, and she couldn't see any difference, so she responded indiscriminately and buried herself in eating.

Mother Lu packed up the ingredients and medicinal materials, and sighed again: "These things are not cheap, although your second uncle also has a lot of monthly money and rewards, but now it is different from the past, and I am afraid that life will be difficult to do things, and I still spend so much money for us." ”

Chun Ying blinked: "Mother, I always hear you talk about the eldest young master, but I don't remember much about him, he ...... It was born by my aunt, right? So it's hard to have a good time in the house? What she didn't ask was that the second young master was also a concubine, why could he be favored?

Mother Lu said: "If it was born to my aunt, it would be fine, but he ......" After a pause, she said: "Anyway, you just need to remember that the eldest young master is shameless in front of the old lady and his wife, and sooner or later he will have to separate the family, you enter the house, don't interact with the people in his house, and don't be too attentive in front of the eldest and young grandmother." ”

Chun Ying was thoughtful.

One night was fine, the next morning, Lu Yougui learned from his wife about his cousin's message, although he was puzzled, he still found a time to talk to him, and when he returned home in the evening, his wife asked what was going on, and he said: "The second brother went down to the south of the Yangtze River this time, and collected some native products in hand, and he didn't have time to get out, and he was going out again in a few days, and he was afraid that things would be broken in his hands, so let me help him inquire about it, as long as the next home is reliable, it doesn't hurt to be cheaper." And when it was done, he gave me a share of the money. ”

Mother Lu said happily: "This is a great thing! Since it's the second uncle's request, you should go down, right? Chunying also immediately threw away the book of victory and stared at her father.

Lu Yougui nodded, but said with a straight face: "His goods, the silver sold is naturally his, what do you give me to do?" Just invite me to a glass of wine when you're free. ”

Chunying closed her eyes, picked up the book and continued to flip through it, and Mother Lu scolded, "Why are you stupid?!" That's your brother! What's the point of taking a few hard-earned money?! ”

"Do you know that it's hard-earned money, he has no home and no job alone, and his life is easy? Why take advantage of him? ”

Mother Lu stomped her foot: "Who took advantage of him?" It's just a bit of a car fare, so don't you have to run errands? The family is not rich, you see that the second uncle is dressed shabby, but you don't know that he is a rich man! ”

Lu Yougui glanced at her: "Okay, with those few pieces of silver, do you still care about these little money?" Let's stop. That's my brother! He turned his head to Chunying, who was eavesdropping on his ears, and said, "What are you doing holding that book all day?" You can't read words, so you might as well do more work. ”

Chunying hurriedly smiled: "The painting on this is interesting, I look at it funny." He rolled his eyes and asked, "Dad, are you literate?" Can you teach me? She suspected that her father, who had been rich and prosperous as a child, was not illiterate.

"Your father and I are naturally literate, otherwise what would you think of the post? But you're a girl, what words do you want to recognize? You're not a lady in the house. Lu Yougui was very disapproving.

"It's always better to read than not to read, if I am literate, I can read posts, read account books, and I won't be deceived when I go out to buy groceries." Chunying carefully changed the concept, hoping that Daddy wouldn't find out. All she needed was a cover to cover up the fact that she actually "reads".

It's a pity that the father of the Lu family is not very cooperative: "If you want to learn arithmetic, just find your mother, she also recognizes numbers." Forget about the rest. Ah, Daddy's hat is broken, you give it whole. ”

Chunying looked at the hat, took it in frustration, and casually pulled the needlework basket and sewed it. Seeing this, Mother Lu said a little embarrassedly: "Although I have learned a little, I haven't used it for many years, and I have forgotten it for a long time, and now I only remember what ten numbers look like." Your Aunt Lu has only learned a lot, she knows hundreds of words, all of which were taught by Mrs. Lu when she was at home. But the smartest is the green shark who married in the past, not only memorized a belly of poems, but also learned to play the piano and chess with his aunt. ”

Chunying was very interested: "Is it all taught by Mrs. Gu?" Mrs. Gu must be a talented girl, right? ”

"Naturally, she is a talented woman." Mother Lu said that she was rising, "She looks good, her temperament is even more first-class, and she treats us who are waiting, but it's a pity that she married far away, and her aunt's family is Jinshanbo in Nanjing, surnamed Huo, and she is also a family of generations of lords, and she is a good family with good feelings, but she can't see her relatives for many years" Speaking ......of this, she was a little sad.

Chun Ying hurriedly comforted a few words, but her mind turned elsewhere. Since the previous generation of young ladies is a talented girl, then the current young lady should not be illiterate, and when she enters the house, she will still have the opportunity to contact books, maybe the second young lady will also learn from her aunt and teach Yahuan to read and write? Anyway, there are only a few months left, so she should bear with it first.

Then, she noticed a message from her mother's words: My aunt's house is in Nanjing. She remembered Songjiang cloth last night, since there is Nanjing and Songjiang in this world, it seems that this is really the Ming Dynasty, but it seems to be a little different from the Ming Dynasty she knows.

Chunying couldn't help but glance at the Tongsheng book again. She just read the story of filial piety, and there is an allusion called "the general's maid", which says: A general in the Jianwen period of this dynasty, his biological mother died early and was raised by his stepmother. After becoming a general, his stepmother was sick, he was not too dirty or tired, and personally served the elderly to take medicine and wash their feet, even if they were splashed with medicinal juice, they didn't care. Someone persuaded him that it was not his own mother, and he didn't need to serve in person, just hand it over to Yahuan. But he said that his stepmother had the grace to nurture him, and he was no different from his own mother, and serving his mother was filial piety for his children, so how could he dislike his mother's illness? When the emperor found out, he was very moved, and specially ordered someone to add his deeds to the Book of Filial Piety.

This is the story that happened in the twenty-third year of Jianwen. So Chunying was entangled. She clearly remembered that Emperor Jianwen of the Ming Dynasty was robbed of the throne by her uncle Zhu Di not long after he ascended the throne, and he disappeared by himself, how could there be a Jianwen for twenty-three years? Originally, I thought it was a coincidence, but I just happened to use the same era name, but now that the place name can also be matched, it is another matter. Seeing that the name of the emperor in the Jianwen period was Taizong, she began to guess, could it be that history has changed?

She couldn't help but drop her hat and go to the book again, turned to the back, and accidentally found a simple map, I couldn't see any specific topographical changes, only recognized the location of the curved line was probably Jiangnan, protruding a bit like Shandong, and then the word "Daming" was written in the middle, the small circle on the upper left was marked by Yili Li, the crooked trapezoid shape above was Wara, and the peanut on the upper right was Qingguo.

What is this? Where the hell is she wearing?!

After struggling for a while, she simply put the book aside. No matter where she wears, she still has to live, doesn't she? These national events have nothing to do with her having children!

Chunying picked up the hat and slapped it a few times angrily, only to realize that her father was looking at herself, and hurriedly remedied: "There is some gray ...... on the hat"

Lu Yougui glared at her before saying, "Can you be fascinated by such a painting?" Get your mind back on the right path! Then he glared at his wife: "You recruited her!" If you have kung fu to remember the past, it is better to give my brother a good daughter-in-law! ”

Mother Lu smiled and mixed up, and after dinner, she quietly walked to the kitchen and whispered to her daughter who was shabu-shabu: "Help me put away those shoes later, and let's go to your second uncle tomorrow." Don't let your dad know. ”

Chun Ying blinked: "Looking for the second uncle?" Do? ”

"Silly girl!" Mother Lu knocked her, "Your father is confused, he let go of the silver in vain, we can't live up to your second uncle's kindness." ”

Chun Ying let out a long "oh" and smiled understandingly.
