34. Mother's love, the greatest love in the world!
The sunlight on the afternoon of the Lantern Festival is projected on the wall outside the gate of Li Mansion in Xiangma Town, Huai'an County, showing an orange color. It gives people a refreshing and pleasant warmth! However, Mrs. Ruan, who had been standing outside the gate of the mansion, looked at the sun that had set in the west overhead, and she couldn't help but stretch out her hand to cover the sun and look at the street directly opposite the west. At this moment, her heart was stabbed as violently as if she had been burned by a "knife and fire"!
However, in the streets with all kinds of large and small lanterns, reflecting the festive atmosphere, the endless flow of carriages, and the crowd of people, there was always no old purple horse of the Li Mansion pulling the brown wooden carriage. Of course, there will be no eldest son Li Yunfei, Master Ma Fuding, and the two fast catchers in the county government!
Seeing this, Mrs. Ruan couldn't help but shake her head and sighed and said: Hey, there is still no one in sight. I don't know if Yunfei has found Yunlong? I don't know if the youngest son Yunlong is alive or ---- Thinking of this, the old man didn't dare to think about it anymore. She was afraid that when the word rose, her little son would suffer something bad to her!
So, Mrs. Ruan looked up at the sky and raised her arms and shouted: God, we really don't dare to accept the word "death" and land on my son. For this reason, the old body prays that you must bless the child Yunlong is still in the world. As long as he can live in good health and peace. For the rest of your life, I will light incense and worship you every day!
Li Rui and Li Hua, the two little brothers, snuggled up to the door of the mansion and looked nervously: their grandmother. They remembered that on the third day after their father left the house, their grandmother began to run outside the gate three times a day, looking at the streets to the west. provoked the mother to stand behind the door of the house, silently watching her!
Finally, my mother couldn't stand it anymore. With tears streaming down his face, he hugged his grandmother's waist and said with great annoyance: Mother, we shouldn't just worry about the cost of studying in the future for Rui'er and Hua'er. Let our two elder brothers come to the mansion and use martial arts to force Yunfei to agree to let the uncle not go to school. Otherwise, there would not have been a situation where they robbed the uncle of his living expenses. It's a worry for you!
At that time, the two little guys could see that grandma just squeezed out a smile, patted her mother's shoulder and said meaningfully: Hongying, it's only because you thought about things at the beginning, and you were extremely inconsiderate! Now, something unfortunate has happened. What's the use of you regretting it? You better not do this, so as not to frighten Rui'er and Hua'er again. Tell Xiaolian to take them to a private school to study!
Hearing this, my mother wiped the tears on her face and said, "Mother, from now on, we will be responsible for sending them to study in a private school." As she spoke, she took their hands and ran to the private school. Walking and walking, they looked at their mothers in confusion and said: Mother, my uncle is also my grandfather's son. Uncles really shouldn't have robbed him of his living expenses!
My mother blurted out: Rui'er, Hua'er, it's strange that we are too greedy and selfish. As long as your two fathers can get your uncle back. In the future, we will return all the property of the second uncle and the younger uncle to them. Let's never stop my uncle from reading anymore!
As soon as they heard it, they remembered what their mother had done before. Immediately, they looked at their mothers and said nervously: Mother, are you really no longer competing with the two uncles for the family property? I'm afraid that my grandfather, grandmother, and uncle will make a mess, and you will stop your uncle from studying again! We can't believe your words at all!
The mother immediately pulled their bodies over them and made them face her eyes. Then, she said gently: Rui'er, Hua'er, my mother will definitely do what she says. No matter what happens in the future, we won't go to your uncle again!
Speaking of this, the mother wiped the tears that overflowed from the corners of her eyes. continued: In addition, the mother will also arrange some maids and men to work in the workshop in the house. We will definitely do some of the work we can in the house. You can save some expenses for your father, and save more silver taels for your two of you to study in the future!
Yesterday evening, when school was over, the only teacher in the private school said that tomorrow, our relatives and children will have dinner at the full moon. I also have to go to a meeting, so you don't have to go to the private school. You must remember that in the house, you will memorize the "historical books" and "scriptures" that the Master has taught you, and memorize them in your hearts. Without the company of adults, you must not go out and play casually. Whatever you want to do, you must only say it to the adults. Also, you have to get the consent of the adults!
This morning, Grandma just dropped her job and turned around and walked out of the hall. The mother put her mouth to their ears, lowered her voice and said: Rui'er, Hua'er, your grandmother has been going outside the mansion three times a day in the past few days, looking intently at the streets in the west. Since you two don't have to go to a private school to study today, your mother wants to go to the backyard to pick up manure and water to fertilize the fruit trees. You two should keep an eye on Grandma for me!
The mother told them that in the past few days, grandma has been depressed and not happy at all. She was worried that her grandmother would not be able to think about it for a while, and whenever her grandmother walked tremblingly to the door of the house, she always followed her secretly and kept an eye on her. Now, they saw that the grandmother was raising her arms and shouting, begging God to bless the uncle to return home safely. Hey, mother's love is really the greatest love in the world!
Seeing this, Li Rui and Li Hua's little heads were pressed together and whispered: Hey, our grandma is like this, she is completely too worried about the uncle. I hope that Daddy can take Uncle back to the house today. Looking at grandma like this, our hearts are not comfortable! Thinking and thinking, they felt like a sharp dagger piercing their hearts. There are no words to describe it: what a pain it feels!
Mrs. Ruan's frustrated emotions were all seen by the guards at the door. They rushed over as if they had made an appointment, and surrounded the old man and persuaded in unison: Old lady, the third young master was born with a full heavenly court, and he is loyal and kind in life. He will definitely "Jiren has his own natural appearance", don't worry about him anymore!
Old Madam Ruan looked at these family members and said with a wry smile: "Hey, Yue Hu and Yue Leopard, who should be killed by the sky, are ruthless, so that Yunlong, the child, is alone and has no money, and he must be reduced to begging outside for a living." That kind of precarious life, how can he stand it at a young age?
Jiading Xiaowang hurriedly said: Old lady, even if the third young master is reduced to begging for a living. He will definitely go back to his home, you must think about it! Old Madam Ruan said in a firm tone: Okay, you don't need to comfort me. Although, I know that there are no miracles in this world. However, I definitely don't miss it. I will endure the pain in my heart and wait until my eldest son Yunfei comes back!
As she spoke, Old Madam Ruan turned around and walked into the mansion door. She muttered to herself behind her: No matter what, we must "see people in life and corpses in death". Otherwise, we would never believe that bad luck would befall the well-behaved and sensible youngest son. God must appear to bless him!
Seeing grandma turn around and walk towards the door of the house, Li Rui and Li Hua turned around and pretended to be "hide and seek". But my ears were listening: Grandma's movements. Hearing Grandma leave the house and walk past, they immediately turned around and saw Grandma walking into her bedroom. They "stumbled" like monkeys and burrowed into the bushes in front of Grandma's bedroom. Then, two pairs of eyes stared at the grandmother in the bedroom without blinking. I prayed silently in my heart: Grandma, don't think about it!
Looking at the back of Mrs. Ruan, the eyes of the family members were all moist. They couldn't help but look up at the sky together, and silently chanted: God, every morning, noon, and evening, we stand outside the gate of the mansion and see it once, and the old lady looks intently at the street to the west. You must have seen it too, right? Now, you must be able to hear our hearts, jumping "poof, poof". You must show your spirit and bless the third young master to return safely with the eldest young master. Otherwise, the consequences will definitely be unimaginable!
At this time, there was a "creaking, creaking" sound of the wheels turning, vibrating the eardrums of these families from far and near. Everyone couldn't help but turn around and look at the source of the sound, only to see that the old purple horse in the mansion pulled the carriage straight to the gate of the mansion with great interest. On the carriage, the eldest young master Li Yunfei was waving his arms and said: We are back, Uncle Cai and Xiao Wang go and call the old lady!
Hearing this, Xiao Wang, who was standing behind, turned around and ran into the mansion. He was still busy shouting: Old lady, old lady, the eldest young master is back home! The middle-aged man behind him hurriedly pulled his arm and pointed his finger on his lips, and said with a "shhhhh Otherwise, the people of Yuefu were recruited. The trouble in the Li Mansion is too big!
After listening to the middle-aged man's words, Xiao Wang understood: Just now, he almost ruined the matter of the Li Mansion! Thinking of this, a blush appeared on his face and he said embarrassedly: Uncle Cai, thank you for the reminder. Otherwise, it may be heard by the people of Nayuefu!
Uncle Cai patted Xiao Wang's head and said thoughtfully: Hey, I think of what the people of Yuefu did to the people of Lifu. I'm going to have palpitations! Perhaps, I was serious. Let's go separately and call the old lady and the young grandmother!
Xiao Wang readily agreed, and ran to the old lady's bedroom. So, Uncle Cai ran to the east wing next to the hall. Li Yunfei and the two catchers quickly got out of the carriage, and Master Ding pulled the carriage alone into the backyard of the Li Mansion and tied the horse to the cement pile in the stable.
Master Ding scooped up the dry food and poured it into the manger, poured the grass into the manger, scooped two more scoops of clean water, and poured it into the pool next to the manger. Turning to the horse who bowed his head to eat dry food and grass, he said, "Hong'er, we have finally returned home." These days, you're tired. You've eaten and drunk to your heart's content, and you're going to sleep well!
The old purple horse raised its head and licked it on the back of Master Ding's hand. At the same time, Master Ding heard the cheers of the two young masters from the front yard: Daddy is back home, it's really good! Then, the eldest and young grandmothers said euphemistically: Yunfei, in the past few days, my mother has always gone outside the gate of the house three times a day, looking intently at the streets to the west. No one can persuade her back!
Hearing this, Master Ding thought to himself: Hey, the tone of the young grandmother's speech to the eldest young master is very different from the past. It seems that she has really changed her attitude! Thinking of this, he reached out and patted the fuchsia old horse's head, and then walked into the front yard.
As soon as Master Ding's front foot stepped into the back door of the front yard, he saw: Old Madam Ruan looked behind the eldest young master and the two fast catchers, and said with a panicked expression: Yunfei, why didn't you see Yunlong? Could it be that something really happened to him?
At this moment, Li Yunfei hugged his mother and was so excited that his voice was choked: Mother, I, I didn't meet my little brother. However, we already know his whereabouts. "Huaiyang Restaurant", the money shopkeeper told me that a kind outsider, surnamed Wang, rescued him!
Hearing this, the old lady was pleasantly surprised and said: Yunfei, you didn't lie to comfort your mother, did you? Li Yunfei listened, and hurriedly turned to the two catchers behind him and said: "Oh, our mother thinks I'm lying." Tell her what's going on!
The two of them smiled and said: Master Li, you haven't been in the mansion for a few days, you still go to accompany the master and the two young masters. We'll make it clear to the old lady one by one! As they spoke, they grabbed Mrs. Ruan one by one and walked into the hall.
Looking at the backs of Old Madam Ruan and the two fast catchers, Yue Hongying took her husband's hand and said in disbelief: Yunfei, looking at the way you spoke just now, I really can't believe it. Didn't you really lie to her in order to comfort your mother?
Hearing this, Li Rui and Li Hua's hearts were like fifteen cats, jumping up and down. It's so uncomfortable that I'm about to suffocate! So, the two little ones also pulled the hem of Daddy's clothes and swayed and said, "Daddy, hurry up and explain what is going on!" Hearing this, Master Ding hurriedly ran over and grabbed their hands, and said with a smile: "Two little masters, your father didn't lie. It's all true!
Who knows, the two brothers still refuse to believe what Master Ding said. Their hearts immediately rose to their throats, as if they were about to get out of their throats. Seeing that, the two of them still turned to Li Yunfei and shouted: Daddy, is what Master Ding said true? Say it! Master Ding hurriedly took their hands and said, "Two little masters, your father and mother haven't seen each other for a few days. You two don't bother them anymore, come with me. I'll tell you both!
When Li Yunfei heard this, he hurriedly nodded at the little brothers. Seeing him nod his head like a "chicken pecking rice", Li Rui and Li Hua's hanging hearts fell to the bottom of their hearts. The two little ones smiled with satisfaction, and then took Master Ding's hand and said, "Master Ding, let's go with you now!"
When Master Ding heard this, he smiled and pulled Li Rui and Li Hua into the hall. Seeing this, the maids, guys, and workers and masters who heard the sound from the workshop all put their heads together in groups of three or five and whispered: Oh, someone rescued our third young master. The third young master is really "blessed and fateful"!
Over there, an eldest aunt sighed and said: In the past, I watched the people of Yue's Mansion come to the old man's mansion to make trouble in a domineering and cruel manner. We're really worried about the third young master! When I think about it now, I still feel palpitations. Fortunately, the third young master actually came to work this time when he was "blessed by misfortune". What a joy!
Hearing this, the people in the whole courtyard immediately opened their mouths and laughed. The air in the courtyard was filled with cheers and cheers. After about half a cup of tea, a young man suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, let's just be happy." But I forgot to tell the second young master the good news!
The young man's words were like throwing a big stone into the sea of people in the courtyard. Immediately, the courtyard was boiling like a "boiling pot". I saw that these people all turned around happily and ran in the direction of the workshop. He kept muttering: Hehe, the second young master heard the good news. I will definitely be grateful to that king, and I will cry with joy that the third young master is still alive!
In the hall, Mrs. Ruan listened in amazement: the two catchers quickly finished the details. Extremely moved, she immediately pulled out the golden hairpin on her head and handed it to the two catchers, and said sincerely: Two virtuous nephews, this golden hairpin can be worth a thousand taels of silver. It was originally a "golden wedding souvenir" that the lord bought for me!
Speaking of this, Mrs. Ruan glanced at the golden hairpin twice with nostalgia and said: "However, this afternoon, I made a wish to God. Now, it must be time for me to deliver on my promise. In addition, we also want to take advantage of today's happy day to invite the surrounding neighbors, the workers and masters in the workshop, as well as the maids and men in the house to have a sumptuous dinner. Please take it to the pawn shop and exchange it for silver taels!
The two catchers quickly understood: what Mrs. Ruan meant. They also recognized: the golden hairpin pulled out by Mrs. Ruan was a picture of "dragon and phoenix Chengxiang" with fine workmanship and clear lines. Immediately speak out in unison: Old lady, no matter what your promise is. However, just buy a bundle of "cloud sandalwood" to express your old heart. Speaking of banquet dishes and drinks, the Li Mansion should not be short of silver taels at present, right? There is no need to take this precious golden hairpin and go to the pawn shop to exchange it for silver to buy it!
When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she smiled bitterly and said: "Two virtuous nephews, our youngest son Yunlong is alone outside, and he has no money and has to beg for a living. Chao Buxi fainted and fell to the ground, but fortunately received the help of a member of the king surnamed Sunan. He and our Yunlong just met in Pingshui, and they were so kind to him. How can we not buy a 39-storey "tower incense" and pray to God to bless him with "a good man's life!" Many happy returns! What about it"?
At this time, the refreshing voice of the second young master Li Yunjian came from outside the hall: Mother, let's listen to what those workers and masters have said, the little brother Yunlong fainted and fell to the ground, fortunately rescued by a nobleman. Let's guess what you want! Therefore, let's go to the town and buy back two nineteen-storey "tower incense". As for the dinner banquet you just mentioned, entertain the neighbors, the workers, the masters, the maids, and the men. These cost silver taels, and it's all up to us! Your golden hairpin will continue to be inserted on your head!
When Mrs. Ruan heard this, she said without thinking: Yunjian, originally I wanted to buy a thirty-nine-story "tower incense". Since you have bought back two nineteen-storey "tower incense". So be it! However, for all the expenses today, we don't want to use the house. You can't use your silver taels!
Speaking of this, Old Madam Ruan frowned and said: Because, you are the son-in-law in the woman's mansion. The person who can't do anything in Yao's mansion! How can we make you break the bank? Besides, it was me who prayed to God, "If Li Yunlong can live in good health and peace." From now on, I will kneel down and worship incense every day. How can you use your silver taels?
Li Yunjian blurted out when he heard this: Mother, our body hair and skin are collected by our parents. It is undoubtedly my obligation and responsibility to do what I can for the Li Mansion. No one is allowed to make irresponsible remarks! Even our father-in-law, mother-in-law, and mother-in-law have no right to ask. If, the people of Yaofu ask in vain. Big deal, let's write a "voluntary clean house" agreement. Solve the relationship between husband and wife with the lady!
Old Madam Ruan took his hand and said in great distress: Yun Jian, since you serve other people's jobs, you must definitely serve others. This is your obligation and responsibility! Besides, today is a day to celebrate. Let's prepare a banquet for the surrounding neighbors, the workers and masters in the workshop, and the maids and men in the house to have dinner. Let them also share the happy events in our house beautifully! I really don't want to make the people of Yaofu resentful of you because of what I wish to God for?
As she spoke, Mrs. Ruan handed the golden hairpin to the two catchers and said: Two virtuous nephews, every family has a scripture that is difficult to read. Just trouble the two of you to hurry up and exchange the silver taels for us, and hand over the "Ta Xiang" money that the second young master deserves. For the rest of the silver taels, please take care of the dishes and drinks necessary for dinner!
The two catchers quickly agreed, and left the hall with the golden hairpin. Li Yunjian opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but Old Madam Ruan shook her head and sighed and said: Yunjian, the reason why Yao Mansion recruited a son-in-law into the Mansion is actually to have a son-in-law who is intimate with Yao Mansion. You have this filial piety, and your mother can only understand it. Don't say anything more!
At the same time, two figures rushed in from outside the door. When the two sat down, Mrs. Ruan saw clearly: it turned out to be the eldest son Li Yunfei and daughter-in-law Yue Hongying. She couldn't help but be surprised and asked, "Hey, why are you two in such a hurry?"
Li Yunfei said excitedly: Mother, Hongying just said that she is willing to return the family property due to the second and third brothers free of charge. The child was so happy, so he hurriedly dragged her to tell her the good news!
Hearing this, Old Madam Ruan turned to Li Yunjian beside her and said happily: Hey, this family property can be described as "timely rain" for Yunjian. Finally, he can be in the Yao Mansion, and he can puff up his chest and raise his head to be a man. That's great!
As she spoke, Old Madam Ruan couldn't help but turn to Yue Hongying and said solemnly: Hongying, you, why did you think so openly this time? When Yue Hongying heard this, she immediately blushed and said: "Mother, since the last time it happened, our two elder brothers robbed my uncle of his living expenses. Every day, I look at your old depressed state. In fact, we are very annoyed and regretful in our hearts! Therefore, we made up our minds to take the family property that had been usurped before. I will return all the gifts to the second uncle and uncle!
Hearing this, Old Madam Ruan's face finally showed a smile that had been extremely rare recently. She looked at Li Yunfei and said comfortably: Yunfei, you two came just in time. Let's call Rui'er and Hua'er to go outside the gate of the mansion together, lighting two nineteen-story "tower incense". Then, let's kneel down together and pray to God, begging God to appear and bless the king of Sunan. Prosper business, happy family, all the best, and live a long life!
