164 The suspicious Yue Langzhong
In the early hours of the morning, the sky in Huai'an County, northern Jiangsu, finally stopped drifting "goose feather heavy snow". As far as the eye can see, there is a vast white color everywhere. Heaven and earth seem to be connected!
The wind shook the canopy vigorously. It's like clockwork that you can never stop! I don't know if the sun is afraid of the majesty of the heavens, or afraid of the cold wind. Don't know where to slip away?
Many men wore gray and blue cotton robes, black cotton hats with turned-up black cotton hats, and black scarves around their necks. Carrying cloth bags of the color corresponding to their cotton robes, their hands folded in their cuffs, their eyes wide open and staring at the road. Walk cautiously to the place where you can earn silver taels and broken silver!
In order to sustain the family's livelihood, no matter how cold the weather outside and how crazy the wind is. None of them can nest at home and act as "shrinking turtles"! To put it bluntly, even if there is a knife-like snow in the sky. They also absolutely have to go out of the house to work in the landlord's and lord's mansion!
Every now and then, someone slips and falls to the ground carelessly and screams: Oops, this frozen snow all over the ground. It hurts me!
From time to time, someone suddenly exclaimed: My God, this wind just now was like a "tornado". Almost scraped me to the ground!
On the dirt road in the countryside in front of the Li Mansion in Lijiazhuang, four family members wearing blue cotton robes and turned-up cotton hats. Holding a shovel with his back to the white flower, he threw it to the side of the road; The other four servants, who were also dressed in the same clothes, followed closely behind with their servals to sweep away the remaining snow on the road. After a while, they stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky, rubbed their hands, sighed, and complained of dissatisfaction: "Hey, this ghost weather has been snowing for half a day and a night. If it hurts, we have to come out early in the morning to be cold and tired!
Two family members who were also wearing blue cotton robes stood guard in front of the Li Mansion, although they still wore thick black scarves around their necks. But at this moment, the two of them couldn't help but stomp their feet, put their hands to their mouths and muttered: God, since you don't snow. Just pity and pity us who are "old and young who need to eat", hurry up and let the sun out. Don't blow such a cold wind again!
At this time, a familiar voice exploded from far and near: Master Yue, Mrs. Yue, they are freezing today. Why don't you stay in the house and come here early in the morning to do something?
Hearing this, these two family members followed the prestige. I saw eight sedan chair drivers wearing blue cotton robes and turned-up cotton hats carrying two blue leather sedan chairs parked on the road on the east side, and two old men, a man and a woman, stuck their heads out of their respective sedan windows and said with a smile to the four family members: The four eldest nephews, only today is the one who is cold. Your master won't go out to do errands, so let's come to the Li Mansion to chat with them!
As soon as the old couple's words landed, the four family members said with a smile: Master Yue, Mrs. Yue, the temperature outside is extremely low and the wind is crazy enough. The charcoal fire in the bedroom of the lord and lady must still be burning, so you two should hurry into the house to warm up!
Hearing this, the eight sedan chair drivers who stomped their feet hurriedly said in unison: Master, madam, you two are also old men. It's definitely not a good place to stay for long! In any case, the temperature inside the house is a little higher than outside. Let's carry you both into the house now!
The two old men smiled and nodded their heads twice, and immediately shrank into the car window. And close the car window casually!
Next, the eight sedan chair drivers bent down together as if they had made an appointment, and set up the cyan leather sedan chair and rested it on their shoulders. Shout "get up the sedan chair". I carried the sedan chair to the Li Mansion in the west!
For this old couple, the two gatekeepers are no strangers. Seeing that the sedan chair stopped slowly and steadily in front of the door, they immediately greeted it, bent down and bowed deeply, and said with a smile: Master Yue, Mrs. Yue, the small one is polite. Greetings to both of you!
Then, as if they had made an appointment, they lifted the sedan curtain together. The two of them stood on the side of the pedal road and stretched out a palm, and said respectfully: Master Yue, Mrs. Yue, the little one is waiting for you two to get off the sedan chair!
The two listeners immediately stood up, bent down one after another, and got out of the sedan curtain, standing on the footsteps with both feet. They each put their hands on the hands of the family on the other side, and said polite words as they stepped to the ground: Young man, this is a very cold weather. You are on duty in front of the gate of the house, but you have really suffered!
The two family members pointed to those family members who lowered their heads to shovel and clear the snow, and said with a smile: Master Yue and Mrs. Yue, we were both born in poor families like them. I was born with the fate of having to work for others! How can you not be burdened with suffering? But all those who are subordinate must be accustomed to suffering and suffering. You don't have to worry about us!
As they spoke, they helped the old couple to turn around and walk into the door. At the same time, the two mouths were busy shouting: Master, old lady, third young master, third young grandmother, the two in-laws of Yuejiazhuang are here!
A moment later, a middle-aged man ran out of the west wing of the mansion and strode to the two old men. His eyes widened and he exclaimed: Father-in-law, mother-in-law, such a cold and freezing weather. You don't stay in the house to warm up, but you came here early in the morning! Could it be that there is something urgent happening in the house that the sky is about to fall?
Old man Yue and Mrs. Yue glanced at each other, and said in unison: Virtuous son-in-law, you guessed right. However, it's not like the sky is going to fall!
The middle-aged man couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks and said: Father-in-law, mother-in-law, since it's not a matter of the sky falling. Why don't you wait until the weather is clear?
The two old men deliberately sighed and said, "Hey, although it's not about the sky falling. But it's really urgent! Otherwise, we also know that our bodies are not iron-beaten. How could they come here after traveling dozens of miles in a cold and freezing environment?
Hearing this, the middle-aged man said in a concerned tone: Father-in-law, mother-in-law, no matter how big it is. Just say it, maybe we can solve it for you!
Mr. Yue and Mrs. Yue knew that their son-in-law was an impatient master, and they all shook their heads like "rattles in the hands of merchants". They pointed to the master bedroom on the east side of the main hall and said, "Son-in-law, the stakes are very high." Only your father and mother can solve it for the two of us!
This remark stimulated the middle-aged man and couldn't help but say inexplicably: Father-in-law and mother-in-law, I am confused. What do you mean by that?
At this time, two familiar voices sounded. It drifted into the ears of five people with the wind: two in-laws, the kang in our bedroom is warm. Come in and tell the story!
The two people who shouted were none other than Master Li and Mrs. Li. In fact, they had already woken up. Just turned over and sat up to get dressed, after feeling the cold air outside the bed. I continued to lie down in the quilt and enjoy the warmth of the hot kang!
Just now, the shouts of the two family members. It was so alarmed that the old couple couldn't help whispering: Hey, it's cold and freezing early in the morning. What are the two in-laws of Yue's house doing in the warm quilt on the kang, running to our house?
Human curiosity is innate. It will drive everyone to be eager to solve the mystery of the unknown.
Master Li and Mrs. Li are not immortals or bodhisattvas with great powers, and of course they cannot be two exceptions among human beings. In addition, there is the "way of hospitality" that has been handed down in the world. Of course, it will never be broken in their hands!
So they hurriedly turned over and sat up. dragged the cotton clothes hanging on the bed flute, quickly put on his body, pulled the cotton shoes and rushed to the door of the main house, and clearly heard the last words of the two in-laws of the Yue Mansion!
Immediately, the old couple's hearts couldn't help but "chuckle". Next, the two of them looked at each other and asked each other: Hey, what happened to the two in-laws of the Yue Mansion? Why did they both say that only we could solve it for them?
As soon as the words popped out, the two of them sent invitations to the two in-laws of the Yue Mansion together. At the same time, they also secretly speculated in their hearts: What happened to the two in-laws of the Yue Mansion? Is it really like what they said, only the two of us can solve it?
As the two in-laws stepped into the master bedroom on the east side of the hall, the heat was boiling. Old man Yue and Mrs. Yue couldn't help but sigh: Tsk, there is a kang fire in this house. It's indescribably comfortable!
Hearing this, the two family members hurriedly turned around and exited the main house. Striding towards the door of the Li Mansion!
Immediately after, Li Xuyang closed the door of the main house. Then he poured two cups of tea and put them on the small square table in front of the kang, and sat on the kang with Mr. Yue and Mrs. Yue, and said in a concerned tone: Father-in-law and mother-in-law, what are you doing?
As soon as his words landed, Master Li and Mrs. Li also sat beside them and asked: The two in-laws, just say it. If we can help, we must be unequivocal!
Old man Yue and Mrs. Yue dragged their hands, and deliberately sighed and said: Hey, because the eldest of our family is about to get married. We went to the market a few days ago to find a fortune teller to do fortune telling! He said, judging from the birthdays of our eldest and Miss Wang. We must hurry up to raise a newborn baby boy for them, and they will have hope of continuing the incense of Yuefu in the future! Two in-laws, among our relatives. At present, only the chick has just given birth to the third son! Two in-laws, you see----
Before the old couple finished speaking, the old couple of Li Mansion and their son couldn't help but exclaim: Ah, that's what happened. This, this, this----
Hey, after all, babies are the flesh and blood of their Li Mansion. What's more, this baby is still a man who can continue the incense of Li Mansion in the future! Right now, I heard with my own ears that someone was going to take him away. This message came so suddenly! Let me ask the people of the world: who will not hesitate to say yes?
Seeing this, Old Man Yue and Mrs. Yue's cheeks immediately flushed. It's as red as a "ripe persimmon"!
However, there was a voice in the depths of their hearts shouting loudly: If you can't hold your second daughter's young son who has just given birth today. Wan Qilin's second wife, Ye Xiaoqing, came to Yue's Mansion with Wang Yuanwai, and couldn't see the baby boy that his daughter-in-law Wang Yinfeng had just delivered. You will definitely guess that a few days ago on the trail at the eastern suburbs of Huayang County, southern Jiangsu, Yue Pengcheng lied for his fiancée Wang Yinfeng! If things really develop to that point, Ye Xiaoqing will definitely punch and kick her regardless of dissuasion. The last fetus in her womb is difficult to keep!
Thinking of this, the old couple stood up in unison. Knelt down suddenly and said: The two in-laws, virtuous sons-in-law, for Peng Cheng'er and Yinfeng Girl can continue the incense for our family. Let's kowtow to you and apologize!
Hearing coldly, "Let's kowtow to you and apologize", Master Li, Mrs. Li and Li Xuyang were so shocked that they restrained their thoughts of flying to "Cloud Nine Away". My eyes are wide open and I follow the prestige!
At this time, Old Man Yue and Mrs. Yue bent down and lowered their heads to the ground. A heart is also "poofing" and jumping wildly! In the minds of the two of them, they thought about it in unison: Hey, if the two in-laws and virtuous sons-in-law resolutely refuse to agree to our request. What else can we do?
The scene in front of him stimulated the three people of the Li Mansion to stretch out their hands together as if they had made an appointment. Immediately, they said in unison: Forget it, for Peng Cheng and Yinfeng to have the hope of continuing the incense for the Li Mansion. Let's agree that you will take back the baby boy who has just delivered the baby!
These words, like the "sweet spring after the rain", moistened the hearts of Mr. Yue and Mrs. Yue. Their hearts were suddenly enlightened as if a huge stone had been moved!
