Chapter 224: Willow Lane
Guangren Temple is still so lively and noisy, and Yangliu Lane is still so quiet and quiet.
Fu Tingyun got out of the carriage and looked at the old locust tree sticking out of the wall, and couldn't help but be stunned.
Mrs. Lu, who had just received the news, was supported by a little maid who had just combed her hair, and walked out quickly out of breath.
"Ma'am!" Seeing Fu Tingyun, her eyes turned red, "I can look forward to you." As she spoke, her eyes were already looking behind her, "Where's the eldest lady?" What about the eldest young master? Didn't you say it would come with you? His eyebrows showed a little eagerness.
The two children, Mrs. Lu, have not yet met.
While speaking, Yuwei had already hugged Brother Xi down.
Mrs. Lu immediately greeted her: "This, this is the eldest young master, right?" ”
Although they hadn't met, Yuwei had heard Fu Tingyun mention Mrs. Lu more than once, and when they met, they saw her with a kind face, and they were very nervous about Youyou and Brother Xi, and couldn't help but feel good, and said with a smile: "It's the eldest young master!" ”
Mrs. Lu looked at Brother Xi'er's gaze and showed joy: "She looks so good", like a woman", she will definitely be a personable son in the future...... "She rubbed Brother Xi'er's head, and her expression was very loving.
Brother Xi was a little recognized, turned his head, and lay on Yuwei's shoulder.
Yuwei explained with an apologetic smile: "This is the first time that the eldest young master has gone out!" ”
While speaking, Mother Tong had already hugged Yoyo down.
Mrs. Lu looked at it and walked over.
"You're the eldest lady, aren't you?" She squatted in front of Youyou and took Youyou's little hand, "I'm your mother Lu!" As he spoke, he looked Yoyo up and down as if he wanted to engrave Yoyo's appearance in his heart.
The journey of more than 20 days seems a bit monotonous and lonely for adults, let alone children?
Thinking that this is the first time you have returned to Chang'an, the county, Fu Tingyun told some people and things in Chang'an as stories to children. As soon as Mrs. Lu said it, Yo You knew who she was.
She respectfully saluted Mrs. Lu and shouted loudly, "Aunt Grandmother."
The appearance of children learning from adults is already clumsy and a little cute, not to mention Yo You's voice is tactful and pleasant, and there are no adults who already know some etiquette for dealing with people at a young age, Mother Lu couldn't help but be stunned, and then she was infinitely happy.
"This can't be done, this can't be done!" She shook her hand again and again, "How can you be the eldest lady and say 'aunt and grandmother'" she said, looking at Fu Tingyun, "Without the ninth master, the bones of our old couple would not know where they are?" Saying it was 'Auntie, it was just an expedient measure in the first place, how can you take it seriously?' Isn't this a torment for me, wife? ”
"If it weren't for the two of you who helped the ninth master guard the property of this willow lane, how could the ninth master work hard outside with peace of mind?" Fu Tingyun walked over with a smile, "My aunt is just like that?" Don't be polite to us! As he spoke, he took Mrs. Lu's hand with some strong force, "Let them give you a salute to the juniors, and it will also be our heart." ”
Mrs. Lu postponed it in every possible way.
Fu Tingyun could understand Mrs. Lu's insistence, and knew that there was no conclusion if she continued to talk about it, so she simply ignored her, and directly asked Yuwei to hold Brother Xi and salute Mrs. Lu.
Mrs. Lu couldn't help but feel ashamed, her face swollen red and murmured, "But this can't work!" That's not going to work! "I was a little at a loss.
Yuwei looked at it and motioned to Pearl to step forward and hug Mrs. Lu, and said with a smile: "Mrs. will stay in Xi'an for more than 20 days, and the coming day will be long, Mrs. Lu has something to say and has the opportunity to talk to Mrs., but this is not a good place to talk!" ”
Mrs. Lu came back to her senses, patted her forehead, and blamed herself: "Look at me...", and then turned sideways and invited Fu Tingyun and others to enter the door, and personally served Fu Tingyun with tea and water, and served Fu Tingyun to freshen up, while Master Lu and Ah Sen arranged an entourage until dusk.
Fu Tingyun invited Master Lu to come over and inquire about buying a cemetery and sacrificial land.
"I think it's better for the cemetery and the sacrificial field to be together, so that it will be more convenient to build a memorial arch or something in the future." Master Lu said: "I have seen several places, Mr. Feng Shui said that it is good, but this matter is very important, I am shallow, I dare not make the decision, and I will wait for my wife to see it before deciding." ”
After that, it is the place where the ancestral tomb of the Zhao family is located, and whether it can benefit future generations, feng shui is very important. Moreover, the sacrificial field and the cemetery are together, and the sacrificial field can also be converted into a cemetery anywhere in the future, how can Master Lu be the master of the house?
Fu Tingyun thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll go and see the land with you tomorrow." He added, "I estimate that the ninth master should be transferred back from Jiangnan in mid-October, and he will carve a monument and pave the road...... This thing has to be booked sooner rather than later! ”
Yuwei gritted her teeth when she heard this, and interjected: "Madam, you are pregnant!" From Kyoto to Xi'an, Jiuye doesn't know how many people have been sent to ask, "... Now that you have finally arrived in Xi'an Mansion safely, you might as well rest for a few days! ”
Fu Tingyun's face flushed.
Master Lu exclaimed: "Madam, pregnant? ”
Fu Tingyun was embarrassed.
Master Lu was already smiling: "Then Mrs. should rest at home!" I'll ask someone to draw those pieces of land to show you, and if you think so, it's not too late for us to take a sedan chair to see it. ”
Fu Tingyun knew, if Master Lu didn't know about this matter, if he knew, he wouldn't let her bump around no matter what.
She nodded in agreement.
Mrs. Lu, who was helping to set up the pearl house outside, also knew.
Running in with a smile on her face, she asked about her daily life with concern.
Fu Tingyun answered them one by one, and said: "My appearance has always been elegant, and I am not the first child, and the people around me also have experience, you don't have to worry." ”
Mrs. Lu nodded when she heard this, but she still told her with concern, "Don't be tired", "Tell me what you want to eat", and the next day, she personally stewed the old hen soup to Fu Tingyun before dawn: "...... It's so the road, how can you make up for it. ”
Fu Tingyun couldn't bear to brush off her kindness, and was also a little worried that the carriage and horses would tire the child in her belly, so she let Mrs. Lu play, stewed chicken soup today and sea cucumber soup tomorrow, and discussed with Master Lu about buying a cemetery.
After finally falling in love with four or five places, Master Lu hired a sedan chair in the best sedan chair shop in Xi'an Mansion, and was escorted by Teng Jiwei's people to see the cemetery.
It inevitably alarmed the people of Xi'an.
The prefect of Xi'an and the political envoy of Shaanxi sent people to vote for the name post with gifts.
Ah Sen is Zhao Ling's younger brother and Xiucai, so he entertained on behalf of the Zhao family and these officials in Shaanxi.
Shaanxi Dusi naturally can't pretend not to know.
I also sent people to vote for the name post with gifts.
There are even some officials who hold their own status and status to visit Fu Tingyun.
For a time, Yangliu Lane was full of traffic, and it was more lively than Guangren Temple.
Fu Tingyun was full of entertainment, but he put aside serious things.
She saw that this was not a matter, and under the pretext of buying a house in Chang'an and county, she went to Chang'an and the county.
As a result, as soon as I entered the city, the name of Mrs. Chang'an County arrived.
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When I saw Mrs. Prefectural Commander, someone led two men in their forties to stand at the foot of the steps outside the hall.
Fu Tingyun was taken aback.
Mrs. County Ling pointed to two people: "This is the best tooth man in Chang'an, don't you want to buy a house?" Just look for them! They don't dare to fool you with me. ”
Fu Tingyun couldn't help but thank him again and again.
But I also have to admit that with the county lady to say hello, these two tooth people are very attentive, but in two days, they found seven or eight houses for her, Fu Tingyun and Master Lu combined, and picked a big mansion with three rooms and three entrances.
"Then I'll buy the vegetable garden next to it, right?" Master Lu saw it and said, "In the future, if Tianding is imported, it can also be used over there." ”
Fu Tingyun thought it was a good idea, and after staying in Chang'an Corpse County for three days, he got everything done.
"No wonder others say that there are people in the court who are good officials", she sighed privately with Yuwei, "If it weren't for Mrs. County Order, I would have stayed in Chang'an for at least ten days." Then he instructed Yuwei to prepare a hòu gift for the county lady and said, "There's nothing wrong with me here, didn't you say you want to go back to Huayin?" Why don't you leave tomorrow? Just come back before the ninth master comes back in early October.
”
Yuwei pondered for a moment and responded with a smile, escorted back to Huayin by Zheng San.
A few days later, she turned back.
came back with her, and Yitong.
"Miss Jiu......, no, Mrs......" she choked and knelt in front of Fu Tingyun, tears raining down, "I thought I would never see my wife again......",
Reunited after a long absence, Fu Tingyun's tears couldn't help but fall.
"Hurry up!" She personally stepped forward and took Yitong's hand, and her eyes couldn't help but fall on her.
Or because of being a mother, Yitong gained a lot of weight, wore a half-new green official silk jacket, and only wore a pair of gilt lilac earrings.
These things were given to her by herself back then.
And her white fingers have become yellow and rough, and there are a few cracks.
"You...", Fu Tingyun's heart suddenly felt like a boulder.
If it weren't for that accident, Yitong wouldn't follow her, and she would have been sheltered by the Fu family", why did she live so poorly?
"How about you talk to your family about going to Kyoto with me?" Fu Tingyun said, "Otherwise, help me take care of the house in Chang'an!" I'm still short of stewards over there. ”
Yitong agreed without thinking about it.
Fu Tingyun was a little surprised.
Yuwei looked at the side and covered her mouth and smiled: "Brother-in-law Huo listens to Sister Yitong about family affairs." He added, "Brother-in-law Huo's family also had a slight property, but later Sister Yitong's father-in-law collapsed on the bed, and the house gradually emptied. The eldest lady once sent someone to ask Sister Yitong if she was willing to go back to Fu's house on an errand, but Sister Yitong didn't want to be that treacherous person, so she refused. ”
"Yitong, why didn't you come to me in Kyoto? You got married, I thought you should be doing well......"
"Miss had just arrived in Kyoto at that time," Yitong said with a smile, "I'm afraid I'll cause trouble to Miss when I go." Now that I have said it, although the days are hard, he has never disliked me, so he doesn't feel bitter...","
Oh, yes!
If there was no Zhao Ling at the beginning, how could she be where she is today?
If there was no such accident, how could Yitong know her husband's affection for her, and how could she follow her husband to live that hard life that was both bitter and sweet.
Fu Tingyun nodded, suddenly relieved, and said with a smile: "Okay, you can choose a day to move to Chang'an's house!" When you settle down, come and kowtow to the ninth master. ”
Yitong smiled and talked to Fu Tingyun about Huayin.
