20. Wake up from a dream like falling into the abyss
Looking at the carriage carrying his younger brother, he rushed to the village with the neighing of the horses, and finally turned around and could not see the figure. Li Yunfei's hanging heart finally landed with a "bang". He couldn't help but raise his arms and shout: Dad, Yunlong has already taken Yinliang to his cousin in the provincial capital, and he can study and take the exam with peace of mind. The day of "glorious ancestors" for our family will never be far away! You haven't gone far in the sky, you should have seen it, right?
Throughout the ages, I don't know which saint has passed down the fallacy: people have just died, their hearts are still conscious, and they are more or less still thinking about how their families will live after they have left them? Will you be able to have a good time?
So, thinking and thinking, the soul of the deceased flew out of his body, and while the two ghosts of "black and white impermanence" were sleeping, Fei Fei flew to heaven. Standing in the clouds with anxiety and looking at the relatives in the mortal world. The pain of lovesickness in my heart is indescribable!
The sage also said: Everyone, after death, "7749 days" is the "final seven". The homonym of this word is "final eating". Oh, that's what the saints say! No wonder in our mortal world, it is still said from generation to generation: after a person dies, before 7749 days, the soul of the deceased and the aura can ascend to heaven lightly. Seven days and forty-nine days later, the "last seven" day, that is, the deceased "finally eats". I can only return to the Nine Springs!
The above language is just to clarify to all friends: Why didn't Li Yunfei say, Dad, you must know under the old Jiuquan, right? But he said, Dad, you haven't gone far in the sky, you should have seen it, right?
Right now, Li Yunfei couldn't help but think: On the night of the eighth day of the first lunar month four years ago, all the inside and outside of the house were lit up, and on the forty dinner tables, eating utensils such as dishes, chopsticks, and plates had already been placed. The maids and men all shuttled between the tables with red faces, and each table was served with dishes that matched meat and vegetables, high-grade drinks and sweets. A joyful and harmonious realm!
At the wedding banquet, when the second brother Li Yunjian led the bride to the table in turn, toasting relatives and friends and sending joy candy, someone deliberately raised his voice and spoke to his father: Li Yuanwai, no matter what, you are also a famous person in the rivers and lakes, and you already have a family fortune. Why did you always ask the matchmaker to introduce Yun Jian, the child, to Yao Mansion in the eastern suburbs as a son-in-law?
Daddy, who was eating vegetables and drinking, couldn't help but choke on the dishes when he heard this. Just when he wanted to open his mouth to explain a suitable reason, someone next to him picked up the conversation: Oh, children, children, when they grow up, they will become a "big disaster"! Li Yuanwai must be afraid to see that the three sons will make trouble dividing the family property in the future.
Hey, this brother's guess is true. It's just that it's not Li Yuanwai's will! Li Yunfei saw that his father was silent with frowns, and he was extremely helpless to pick up the wine glass and pour wine into his stomach one by one. Frightened, the mother next to him quickly reached out and snatched his wine glass, and took the opportunity to use a spoon to dig a large bowl full of rice from the rice bowl in front of him and put it in front of her husband.
However, those friends and relatives don't know about it! They were still drinking and eating, and they were talking unscrupulously: Li Yuanwai, who has a lot of money, actually let Li Yunjian join the woman, and it was a bizarre thing for his son-in-law to intervene in the door. Everyone seems to be talking about this incident in the Li Mansion as a "Arabian Nights"!
No matter what the generation, there are people who "don't care about themselves". They will base their happiness on the suffering of others. I know that others are helpless to bear the unfair arrangement of fate. But they will turn a blind eye to it as a means of showing off their eloquence. It's incredible!
Until the wedding feast was over, all relatives and friends said goodbye and returned home. The noisy and boiling Li Mansion compound finally came to an end in the middle of the night. Immediately, in the master bedroom of the main house, it became an extremely inappropriate scene: Yue Hongying took the hand of the second brother Yun Jian, and said with a smile: Yun Jian, as the saying goes, "One mountain does not allow two tigers". So, my sister-in-law tried her best to ask the matchmaker to give it to you, looking for a family with only a daughter to go to the family. Only in this way can our Li Mansion be "peaceful" forever in the future. I hope you can understand the kindness of my sister-in-law!
The mother who was sitting at the desk said bluntly: Hongying, as a sister-in-law, can these things you do to your second uncle still be considered a good thing? Yun Jian and Yun Fei are brothers who are connected by blood and blood, why should they ----
Yue Bao, who was standing next to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, pointed to his mother when he heard this, his eyes were wide and round and he glared at his mother, and said menacingly: Hmph, no wonder Yunfei's sister-in-law is unwilling to listen to our father's words and go to the capital with our uncle to be an official. It turns out that you are an old thing, thinking about dividing the family property equally for your three sons. I see, you're itchy with the fur, right?
Li Yunfei, who heard this, couldn't be angry, so he replied coldly: Brother Leopard, we don't want to go to the capital as officials, and it has nothing to do with our parents. It's that I think I can't afford to owe my father-in-law and mother-in-law. You'd better not "deceive people too much"! I'm in a hurry, so let's write a letter of resignation and leave----
Before Li Yunfei finished speaking, Yue Bao rushed over and grabbed him by the collar, and his eyes opened like bull's eyes and scolded: Hmph, you and my sister have two children, and you still want to "eat and wipe clean" to get rid of her. Don't you think it's too despicable and shameless?
At this time, the father who was sitting next to his mother couldn't help but sigh, and said with annoyance: Yunfei, it's all because we want you to "get ahead" in your career. I tried my best to ask the matchmaker to find it for you, this marriage with relatives who are officials in the court. I didn't think of it, but it hurt ----
When the father-in-law and mother-in-law heard this, they pointed their fingers at the father and mother on the opposite side and said contemptuously: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you'd better stop opening your mouths to speak." Our two sons have now done away with Yunjian and Yunlong, and I'm afraid no one dares to say a word "no". Do you believe it or not?
Hearing this, the second brother Yun Jian, who was dressed in a red hat and a red robe, suddenly knelt down in front of his father, and said in a choked voice: Father, I can leave the house without a tael of silver in the house. I just hope that the two elders will live peacefully and healthily!
Then, the second brother Yun Jian climbed in front of Yue Hongying again, and said with tears in his eyes: Sister-in-law, Yun Long's brain melon is smart and quite talented. We just ask you to pay tribute to my father and mother for me, so that Yunlong's share of the family property can be used to support him to study, so that he can continue to participate in the imperial examination in the next two seasons of the year. I don't have any regrets!
As he spoke, the second brother Yun Jian kowtowed with a "poof, poof". At that time, Yue Hongying put her head like a rattle. "Bah" patted his chest, and said with a red face: Oh, you promised me not to want a tael of silver in the house. We must take care of your father and uncle Yunlong for you!
Hearing this, the second brother Yun Jian climbed up to his father and mother and said with tears in his eyes: Father, mother, our body hair and skin are collected by you. Before leaving, let's perform one last ritual! As he spoke, he bowed to his father and mother three more times before standing up and turning to Yue Hongying with both hands and fists and said: Sister-in-law, from now on, if there is nothing major in the Li Mansion, we will definitely not take another step into the mansion. I hope you can do what you say!
As soon as the second brother Yunjian's words landed, Li Yunfei felt Yue Bao's hand loosen. He quickly ran to the second brother Yun Jian, and suddenly opened his hands and hugged his body tightly. He said with great annoyance: Yun Jian, my brother is incompetent. I'm sorry for you! My brother regretted that he didn't send someone to Yuejiazhuang to find out what kind of people this family was? Brother, I really feel ashamed to owe you!
However, the second brother Yun Jian just: silently replied with a warm and reluctant hug. After a while, Steward Cui in his brother-in-law's mansion came over to urge: New aunt, the auspicious time has arrived. It's time to go home! Second brother Yun Jian reluctantly let go of his hands and said humbly: Okay, what should be said, we have all finished speaking. Steward Cui just leads the way in front! As he spoke, his eyes couldn't help but glance deeply at his father and mother and his younger brother Yunlong, before he turned around and followed Steward Cui out of the gate of the Li Mansion and into the red sedan chair parked in front of the door.
With that, Steward Cui said "get up the sedan chair". The welcoming band blew the festive music, and the palanquin bearers then lifted the Fengluan sedan chair, and the welcoming procession left the gate of the Li Mansion while jumping with the festive dance accompanied by the music.
At that time, Li Yunfei looked at the welcoming procession that was getting farther and farther away, and thought: Yun Jian has completely given up his father's property, Yue Hongying will definitely be willing to support Yun Long and study for the exam with peace of mind, right? I hope it's as I wish!
Until a month ago, when my father was critically ill, he raised his head and put his mouth to his mother's ear and said: Ruan's, I'm afraid my husband is not far away. In the days to come, it will be bitter for you. The mother took his hand and said angrily: Master, you will get better slowly. Don't think about it!
However, Daddy coughed up a mouthful of blood. Then, he stretched out his hand weakly and paddled weakly, with a voice like a mosquito and a fly, and then his lips popped out: Call Steward Wang, go and pass Jianyun to hurry up. Before I could finish my ----, he coughed again.
Ruan Shi turned to Wang San, who was standing next to the sickbed, and said, "Steward Wang, I'm bothering you to drive the carriage to Yao's Mansion and take Yunjian back quickly." Wang San said "hew" with tears in his eyes, turned around and ran out. At this time, Yue Hongying bluntly shouted at the butler's back: Steward Wang, the old man is critically ill, it is better to let the second uncle Yunjian know later.
Hearing this, Li Yunfei turned to his wife and said inexplicably: Hongying, what do you mean by this? Yue Hongying squinted at her man and said coldly: Yun Fei, when Yun Jian entered the Yao Mansion, he promised not to want his share of property. Now, Daddy asked people to call him home. I think Daddy probably has "ulterior motives"!
When Li Yunfei heard this, he said angrily: Hongying, Yunjian promised your unreasonable request. But he is also the blood of his father, no matter what, it is impossible not to give him a little property. Don't be too greedy!
Yue Hongying said in a snort: Yunfei, as long as my father hands over the financial power of the palace to you, I will willingly pay tribute to my mother and support Yunlong to study and take the exam. As she spoke, she got up with one hand and took the patient's hand, patted her chest with one hand and said with a smile on her face: Dad, you should have heard what we said just now, right? As long as you always nod your head and say yes. We promise not to treat my mother and Yunlong badly!
Daddy weakly took Yue Hongying's hand, looked at her with tired eyes, and said with all his strength: Well, are you really willing to treat them well? I saw that Yue Hongying was busy moving her head. A look of "sincerity"!
Li Yunfei thought to himself: Hongying, we accidentally married you in this life and this life, although it was a "wrong move". Since you promised to take care of your mother and Yunlong, you will no longer be forced to do "perfect"!
At this time, Daddy let out a long sigh and untied a bunch of keys on his chest, and said with difficulty: Hongying, we originally wanted Yun Jian and Yun Fei to take care of your mother and Yun Long together. Since, you are willing to take this responsibility alone. Then let's go with confidence! As he spoke, a bunch of keys fell on Li Yunfei's hand with a "bang".
It's only been a month since his father passed away, and Hongying didn't give him a chance to study at all, except for making Yunlong chop wood and carrying water. Yun Jian once ran errands for his father-in-law's house, and when he passed by the door of the Li Mansion, he went to check the house if he was not at ease. After discovering all this, he pointed at his sister-in-law's nose angrily and scolded: Sister-in-law, you don't even talk much. You are so despicable and shameless!
Who knows, Yue Hongying said without smiling: Hmph, this time and that time. Second uncle, you and Uncle will accept your fate! Yun Jian said angrily: Hmph, I can go and sue the "Imperial Form". The whole world is not the king's land, I don't believe that no one can cure the sins of your Yuefu. Just wait and see!
As he spoke, the second brother Yun Jian turned around and ran towards the door of the mansion. However, the two sons of the Yue Mansion suddenly "fell from the sky" to block the door of the mansion, and the two of them worked together to use a "thunderbolt fire" and pounced on the second brother Yun Jian. Just heard the sound of "oops" exploding out of thin air, and the second brother Yun Jian's body was on fire, and he lay on the ground in pain and turned over and over.
Yue Hongying couldn't help but shout loudly in fright when she saw it: "Two elder brothers, you will kill him like this." Hurry up and stop! Yue Hu and Yue Bao withdrew their skills at this time, looked at Yue Hongying and said in great distress: "Sister, fortunately, my father and mother have considered it thoughtfully, so that we can secretly pay attention to the dynamics of the Li Mansion at all times. Otherwise, I really let this kid go to the capital to sue the "royal state"!
As he spoke, Yue Bao turned to Li Yunfei again and said, "Sister-in-law, you'd better take care of your younger brother." If, let the two of us bump into him and go to the capital to sue for the "royal state". You're just waiting to collect his body! When that time comes, don't blame us for being polite. The little sesame mung bean also wants to fight with the two of us. It's so overwhelming!
Looking at the scorched clothes on the second brother Yunjian's body, Li Yunfei was not in the mood at all, and then ignored the words of the two uncles. Hurriedly ran to the side of the second brother Yun Jian, leaned over and looked at it carefully, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart: Hey, fortunately, it only hurt the skin of the hand. So, I hurriedly picked him up and ran into the bedroom, and found my own clothes to change for him. said helplessly: Second brother, my brother is fighting for this life, and he will send Yunlong to study in the provincial capital. You don't care anymore!
The second brother Yun Jian blurted out: Brother, my wife is a woman who "understands righteousness". Otherwise, let Yunlong follow me back to Yao Mansion to study. Li Yunfei smiled bitterly and said: Yunjian, my brother knows that your wife has a good heart. But it's your father-in-law and mother-in-law who are in charge. We really don't want to ruin your family anymore! As he spoke, he forcibly pushed his younger brother out of the house, and then closed the courtyard door with a bang.
Fortunately, Yue Hongying called her two brothers to come to the house to make trouble a few times, and yesterday morning, she finally agreed to spend silver taels and let Yunlong go to the provincial capital to join her cousin, and continue to study and take the exam with peace of mind. Heck, it was an unexpected joy. For Yunlong, it is really a great luck in misfortune! You definitely have to tell Yun Jian to make him happy!
Thinking of this, Li Yunfei spread his feet and ran to the chartered car shop. The three rickshaw masters in the charter shop all gathered around when they saw the business coming, and they rushed to introduce themselves. Someone said: Master Li, my car just bought a new product, and it is the most stable and comfortable to sit on. Don't hesitate any longer, just sit down! (The master who spoke was obviously ten years older than Li Yunfei.) In order to be able to do business, but so depreciating himself. "The customer is God"! )
Someone said: Master Li, look at our body, we are the strongest in this, right? I'll hold you, make sure you're there in the blink of an eye. If you don't believe it, let's give it a try! (The master's statement is clearly to brag about his ability.) Anyway, as long as you get in his car. Then he won't "try" with you! )
said: Master Li, we can't say good things if we are honest. However, we are the most practical businessmen in the world. Take my car, the price is absolutely the fairest! (This master, what he said is quite true.) However, in that era, business was already very scarce, and anyone who wanted to do business in a real way could never restrain their ambitions! )
However, Li Yunfei is in a very comfortable mood today, so he will not argue with these masters about the merits. At this moment, his heart was full of words: We must hurry to Yao Mansion and tell the second brother Yunjian the good news that Yunlong has gone to the provincial capital in a carriage. So, he got into a rickshaw at random and said: I will take this car to Yaofu in the eastern suburbs, and pay when I get there.
The owner of the car saw that Li Yunfei had chosen his car. Immediately showed off two glances: two companions beside him. Then, he hurriedly helped Li Yunfei into the car. Said happily: Okay, Master Li is done. Let's go to Yaofu in the eastern suburbs!
Yao Mansion in the eastern suburbs is not far from Li Mansion. In just an hour, the rickshaw stopped on the road in front of Yaofu. Li Yunfei got out of the car and took out a piece of broken silver and handed it to the rickshaw master, leaving a sentence: No need to make change. The master nodded and said, "Hehe, thank you Master Li for the reward." Thank you for your family!
At this moment, Li Yunfei is not in the mood to listen to these good words. He nodded blandly, hearing the rickshaw driver's gratitude. But he ran quickly to Yao's Mansion on the side of the road. The three family members guarding the door of Yao's Mansion saw Li Yunfei, and hurriedly stepped forward enthusiastically and greeted: Yo, Brother Li is here. Uncle happens to be in the mansion, Brother Li hurry into the mansion!
Li Yunfei smiled and said: Hehe, let's not go in and bother. Please ask Uncle Wang to go in and report it, let our second brother come out, I have something to talk to him. The housekeeper who was replaced with "Uncle Wang" immediately turned around and pushed open the courtyard door when he heard this, and stepped into the threshold with his feet raised.
Immediately, an exclamation of "oops" reached the ears of everyone outside the Yao Mansion. Everyone hurriedly raised their eyes and saw that Uncle Wang and Uncle Li Yunjian collided. At the same time, Uncle Wang has also clearly seen that he hit him: Uncle Li Yunjian. He thought to himself: Oh, it's better to come early than to come at a good time!
Then, Uncle Wang hurriedly said: Hello uncle, Brother Li has something to do with you. I hurried to report to my uncle, and my uncle arrived. Just now, the minion bumped into you. I'm so sorry! Li Yunjian thought to himself when he heard this: Hey, since the last time I was pushed out of the mansion by the eldest brother, and since I returned to the house, we have been thinking about tea and dinner, and we can't sleep. Today, Big Brother is here. It also saves us a trip!
So, Li Yunjian hurriedly ran to Li Yunfei's side, took his hand and said impatiently: "Big brother, tell me quickly, what happened to Yunlong?" For the past few days, all I've had in my head is, our brother. I'm going crazy about it!
When Li Yunfei heard this, he suddenly grabbed his second brother Yun Jian and turned around like a child, before he put his mouth to his ear and said happily: Yunlong, I have left here in a carriage just now, and went to the provincial capital to join my cousin to continue to study and take the exam with peace of mind!
When Li Yunjian heard this, his heart was immediately as sweet as drinking honey. It's so sweet for every cell in the body! He turned his back to the sky like a child and raised his arms and shouted: Haha---- God, you finally opened your eyes! Daddy, did you hear that?
Unexpectedly, two annoying voices exploded behind him: Yo he, did my sister-in-law win the jackpot? Or did the Yunjian brothers bump into fortune? Look at your brothers so "get carried away!"
Li Yunfei was shocked in his heart: Oh, why did the two of us come here? What two "ghosts that do not go away"! He was thinking about his thoughts here, and Yue Hu and Yue Bao came to them over there, clasping their hands and squinting at the two young masters of Li Mansion and Li Mansion, as if they had made an appointment, they mocked in unison: Hey, I'm afraid someone wants to "rejoice in the air." Tsk, it's really "whimsical"!
Hearing this, Li Yunfei was shocked and said: You guys, what do you mean by this? Speaking of this, he suddenly thought: Yunlong must have had an accident, otherwise, they wouldn't be so evil! Thinking of this, he really didn't dare to imagine it anymore. He's even more afraid of getting bad results! His heart slowly rose from the bottom of his heart to his throat. He felt like he was going to suffocate!
When Li Yunjian saw Yue Hu and Yue Leopard's eyes, he also vaguely felt: There must be something wrong with Yunlong. And it's certainly not a small question! So, Li Yunjian turned to Yue Hu and said: What does Young Master Yue want to say, just say it straight. There's no need to "play tricks"! (As soon as the words were spoken, his heart was like a big stone pressed against him, and he was so depressed that he panicked.) He secretly prayed: Daddy, you must bless the "cloud dragon is fine" in the spirit of heaven! )
Looking at the pair of young masters of the Li Mansion in front of him, he flashed with a low and pessimistic mood. Yue Hu and Yue Leopard's eyes narrowed into a slit, and they said with a wicked smile in unison: Hehe, I'll tell you an unfortunate bad news. Your brother, Yunlong, has now become a penniless pauper. In a few days, there will be another hungry ghost in this world!
After Li Yunfei and Li Yunjian heard this, the two couldn't help but turn to the prince of Yuefu opposite and scolded angrily: You have done a lot of evil, and you will kill yourself if you do too much injustice. In this life, there will be no good retribution in this life! After scolding, the two of them seemed to have fallen into an abyss, and their hearts were immediately cold. The brothers' eyes were all moist, and they hugged each other violently and muttered in pain: How can reality be so cruel and merciless in this world? How can the human heart be so unpredictable?
