Chapter 22 The hometown is more timid
Today, I only brought bamboo rhyme, because bamboo rhyme is calm and calm, and nothing will go wrong. It's not appropriate to bring too many people. Originally, I had been looking for my mother's previous wedding maid in Tanghua Courtyard, but in the end it was unsuccessful, thinking that Aunt Sun slowly dismissed some of the old people in the yard after her father and mother left.
After cleaning up, he sat in the soft sedan chair in the house and came to the north of the city.
The Qu family's house is located in an inconspicuous alley in the north of the city, although the house is very large, but it is also a little angry compared to the north of the city, which is not lively in the east of the city. But if you look closely, you will find that this house is a little different. Although the house is made of ordinary stone tiles instead of glazed glass that large families use, it is said that the long corridor is lit up at night, and the lights are bright, and the whole house is very beautiful.
After I passed the message, I was brought into the Qu Mansion by an old servant.
Although the Qu family is a family of merchants, it also has the style of the previous official family, and likes to use garden landscapes and rockery landscapes, which are not extravagant but look very elegant. It's like the mansion of a civil minister, and it's really because of the teacher of the first emperor.
The Qu family had not yet been separated, so when they entered, they saw many people sitting in the hall. I was overjoyed, and it turned out that they obviously still attached great importance to my coming.
I stepped forward to perform my duties and bowed in the direction of the old man and the old woman sitting in the middle: "Ah Yao has seen my grandfather, my grandmother."
The two old men didn't answer, but a slightly younger middle-aged man sitting next to them said, "Ah Yao, please get up." ”
That's when I looked up. There were nine people in the Hall of Discovery. Two servants, the rest, in the middle of which must be the grandfather and the grandmother. The middle-aged man and woman on the right are also older, presumably the uncles and aunts of the former emperor's teacher. The young man and woman on the left should be my uncle and aunt. The little girl standing next to them must have been my little cousin.
Thinking that the prince's brother has not yet been crowned, the current emperor of Ningguo is also very young, and the first emperor died very early. Therefore, the uncle-in-law died in the first emperor and experienced the case of the Qu family's greed for ink, so he withdrew from the court.
I looked at my aunt and uncle who asked me to get up: "Ah Yao visits my aunt and uncle." Then he went on to see his uncle and aunt.
I saw that the little girl under my aunt's knee was white and fat, biting her little finger, which was very cute. She looked in my direction and shook my aunt's arm, "Mother, fairy." ”
My aunt hugged her very gently: "It's not a fairy, it's a sister." ”
"Sister, sister." The little girl suddenly stretched out her arm to me and wanted me to hug me.
My aunt said, "My sister is busy, Yu'er is obedient." ”
I smiled at the little girl.
Grandmother spoke: "A-Yao is really like your mother. A-Yao, come over and let my grandmother take a look. ”
I stepped forward. My grandmother took my hand: "The wound on your face was left by the fire?" ”
"It's almost good now, don't worry." I said cautiously.
"I really feel sorry for my hard-working daughter and granddaughter." My grandmother wiped tears from the corners of her eyes with a silk handkerchief.
The grandfather suddenly said: "Ah Yao, it's not that we are ruthless, because we can't take the initiative to see you because of the affairs of the clan, we have to wait for Ah Yao to come by herself." You don't know, your grandmother has been looking forward to this day for a long time. ”
My nose couldn't help but sour: "A-Yao misses you very much. May my grandfather and grandmother forgive. ”
"Good boy, it's good to come back now, and God has eyes, and it hasn't left our flesh and blood out." My aunt came and took my arm.
"A-Yao has suffered so much, and now that your father and mother are gone, have you been bullied in the Song family?"
"Uncle and aunt treat me very well, but ......" I wanted to say but stopped.
"Just what?" Grandfather asked.
I shook my head.
"Don't be afraid, child, your mother is not here, and now the Qu family is supporting you."
"It's just that there was one thing recently, Ah Yao felt that it was inappropriate, and wanted to discuss it with her grandmother, and her aunt said that she would keep her mother's dowry for me."
"A concubine is also delusional about the dowry of the mistress! At the beginning, I dissuaded your mother, but your mother just didn't listen, and your father really accepted the concubine. This concubine is not a trouble-free lord. "My grandmother was very angry.
Uncle stepped forward: "Mother, don't worry, we also have to think of a way to get back the dowry for A-Yao." What's more, your second elder was afraid that the second sister would suffer in the past, so he prepared a lot of dowries, and the second sister was not there, and now she can't be cheapened. “
Grandfather said: "Don't worry, take your time, there will always be a way." “
When it was over, I had dinner at my grandfather's house. My uncle sent me back. Before leaving, he said in front of the sedan chair: "Ah Yao, don't worry, our Qu family will not let you suffer, although the elders of the clan don't recognize the second sister because of the events of the year, but they are the flesh and blood of the Qu family, and we will help if we can." The case of embezzlement of ink back then also had hidden secrets. Now, if there is any difficulty, I come to my uncle. Especially when it comes to money. “
I bowed: "The Qu family will remember my good A-Yao." “
"You are the daughter of my Qu family, don't be wronged." After the sedan chair started, I heard my uncle whispering in the back.
I said to myself in my heart, "Mother, have you seen it?" This is a composer who will never abandon our composer. “
