Chapter 16: Nie's cousin
Although she has the intention to buy property for her family, Wen Yi also knows that this kind of thing is not something that can be done by talking. Not to mention whether the family can come up with this cash, even if it is the current land price, I don't know how much it is. In her previous life, although she had heard that some outsiders bought mountain and forest land at a low price, it was after the civil unrest, many homes in Pingyin City were robbed, and in order to make up for the losses, there were also land sales at low prices. The forests on this hillside have been cut down in a mess, most of which are caused by Zhuangzi or people in the city to build houses, or they may be ownerless, and whoever wants to buy them has to ask the yamen to ask for help. She is an orphan girl, although she has an uncle who is an official, but she doesn't have a reliable relative to come forward, where can she deal with the yamen?
Now that I have resumed contact with my uncle's family, I have some hope, but I just met and mentioned the property, if my uncle has a misunderstanding, it is not beautiful, even if there is no misunderstanding, with my uncle's love for her, if I buy the property out of my own pocket and give it to her, my grandmother will feel embarrassed again. Wen Yi thought about it, and decided to go home first and discuss it with her grandmother, now that Hengzhu has recognized her uncle, she will always come and go.
She still had a faint thought in her heart, feeling that her uncle's house was robbed in her previous life because she lived in Pingyin City and was a well-known rich family, so the rebellious people naturally refused to let go. If you add mountains and woodlands and build a small village, when there is almost a civil unrest, you can avoid it by inviting your uncle's family to the village?
She had a lot of thoughts in her mind, thought about countless thoughts over and over again, and estimated the land price of this hillside according to what she knew, the geometry of the land price in the Pingyang area, and then thought about her own family, where can you squeeze out a sum of silver? The first thing that comes to mind is naturally the dowry that her grandmother bought for her, although it is not the most expensive jewelry, but there are all the gold, silver, pearls and jade, which can always be worth two or three hundred taels, the mountains are not fields, and the inferior thin fields are only three or four two or one acres, according to three or two acres, you can always buy a hundred acres of mountain land. She didn't intend to compare with the generosity of the rich man in the countryside, but the hundred acres of fertile land was already stronger than the grandmother and mother's dowry Zhuangzi, but the quality of the soil should be invited to the old farmer to see it, and the water source and the like should also be taken into account......
After Wen Yi had made up a few ideas in her heart, the carriage had already entered Pingyin City and came to Xie Lang Lane in the east of the city.
The Nie family lives at the end of the alley, which is a three-entry house with a small garden attached, which is very quiet. Hearing that her husband brought her niece and daughter over, Nie Jiachang's wife Qin was busy taking her children out of the door.
The Qin family is from a scholarly family, and he is nearly forty years old, but he still looks like a person in his thirties, with an elegant appearance and a graceful and quiet temperament. Wen Yi still remembered her aunt's gentleness and kindness in the past, and when she saw that she had silver threads between her temples, she couldn't help but have red circles in her eyes, and fell to the ground: "Auntie......"
Qin helped her up with tears, hugged her and cried: "Good boy, it was your uncle who was ruthless, and he left you behind for a few years. My aunt wanted to take you over, but your uncle refused, but in fact, I don't know how many times I cried at night. ”
Wen Yi choked up and said: "Uncle and aunt are kind, and my nephew and daughter dare not forget it for a moment." Originally, the nephew's daughter was on this trip to congratulate her uncle on his birthday, and she didn't want to act recklessly, but it caused her uncle to work hard and her aunt to worry. ”
"What nonsense?! If you can come back, your uncle and I will be very happy, if it weren't for the family, my aunt would have gone with me yesterday! Qin wiped Wen Yi's face and called his own children, "Do you still recognize it?" When I was a child, my brothers and sisters used to play with you. ”
"My niece's daughter remembers." Wen Yi straightened her body and smiled and saluted her cousin, "Big cousin, big cousin." ”
Nie Jiachang's eldest son, Nie Heng, is fifteen years old this year, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and a handsome appearance, but his face is pale and his body is thin, and he knows that he is weak at a glance. But he has a gentle temper, loves his sisters and cousins since he was a child, and is a good brother. When Wen Yi's parents died, he was already a half-grown teenager, and he still remembered things clearly, and now that the relationship between the two families has eased, the little blood left by his aunt can finally get close again, and he is also very happy in his heart, and he returned the salute with a smile: "Cousin, the eldest cousin knows that you are coming, so he specially asked someone to make your favorite pastries." ”
Wen Yi was moved in her heart and thanked her again. The cousin looked impatient: "Good sister, what are you doing with your brother thanking each other?" It's all a family, what's so polite? ”
Feng Shu, the cousin of the Nie family, is the same age as Wen Yi, only a few months older, because of his appearance Xiao's father, he has been very favored since he was a child, but he is rarely not spoiled, but he is an innocent and delicate character, and he is not used to etiquette. was said so by her cousin, Wen Yi was also a little embarrassed. Although she is her maternal uncle, she has not been close for more than 20 years, and she is somewhat careful in her heart.
Qin glared at his daughter and hugged his niece's daughter: "This is your cousin Zhili, where is like you, like a crazy girl!" It's all your dad and your brother's spoiled! Nie Fengshu pursed his lips and complained to his father: "Dad! Mother said me again! Nie Jiachang moved his lips, and when he saw his wife's eyes, he had to change his words helplessly: "Let's go into the house, we are all standing here, and people are laughing at it." ”
Everyone entered the gate of Nie's house, and they didn't serve tea to the hall, so the Qin family directly hugged Wen Yi into the main room in the backyard. Wen Yi said with some uneasiness: "Uncle, nephew and daughter are here to pay homage to their birthdays...... Qin waved his hand: "My own family, what do you do with those false courtesies?" Serious should be close and close! After asking, he said with a dissatisfied face: "Your uncle is really, he really wronged his nephew's daughter!" Even if you can't enter the city at night, won't you book a few rooms in the inn next to the official road outside the city?! Not to mention that the place is cleaner, and the food is much more assured, get up early and open the city gate, and you can go home directly for breakfast, why let your nephew's daughter spend the night at the farmer's house! After speaking, he instructed the housekeepers to prepare the next place of Miss Biao's servants, and as for the guest room where Wen Yi lived, it had already been prepared last night.
Wen Yi sat on the side and listened with her head down, moved and uneasy in her heart. Nie Heng saw a little bit on the side, so he smiled and said: "Cousin, don't worry, mother's temperament likes to handle these things the most, you just want her to take a breath, and she still thinks you are troublesome." ”
Wen Yi looked at him with some gratitude: "Thank you, eldest cousin." Nie Heng smiled and nodded, but turned his back and coughed twice. Wen Yi asked worriedly, "Is the eldest cousin unwell?" Nie Fengshu said: "Brother, there are a number of days when he doesn't cough all year round, especially in autumn and winter, just get used to it." It's just because of the weak body, but it's not a big deal. Wen Yi listened, but became more and more worried: "Even so, if you cough too much, it will still hurt your body." My grandmother also often coughed after entering the autumn and winter, and when she saw the doctor on weekdays, she said that she wanted to recuperate. ”
Qin sighed: "From childhood to adulthood, the doctor has invited an unknown number of doctors, but that's it. At the end of last year, a medical officer passed by Pingyin City, and your uncle entrusted someone to invite him to see your eldest cousin, and they all said that it was a weak disease brought by the womb. Your uncle is now bent on exchanging good medicinal herbs, all of which are prepared for your eldest cousin. ”
When Nie Heng saw his mother's expression, he knew that she felt guilty because of her body, and hurriedly said: "Mother doesn't have to worry, in fact, when the wind blows, coughing a few times is not a serious illness." In the past six months, my son has been taking medicine every day, and he has been much better, and he may be better next year. ”
"That's for the best!" Nie Fengshu smiled and narrowed his eyes, "My brother said that the medicine juice is unpalatable, and when the illness is cured, don't you need to drink the medicine anymore?" Brother, get better quickly, otherwise the honey fruit during the New Year will be monopolized by me alone, and you can only look at it! ”
Nie Heng glared at his sister and smiled: "Little gluttonous cat!" When it was time for the Chinese New Year, I told my father that I would not prepare honey fruits, but only dried fruits for hospitality! It just so happened that I was going to recuperate at home, and the study in front of me was too small, so I simply built two rooms in the garden as a study, so I cut down the two cherry trees! ”
Nie Fengshu's little face was red, and he was so anxious that he stomped his feet and coquettishly at his mother: "Mother, stop my brother quickly, I won't allow him to cut down my cherry tree!" ”
Although the Qin family was worried about his son's health, he couldn't help but be happy when he heard their brother and sister fighting: "Okay, okay, your brother is just teasing you, where will he cut down your tree?" Put a hundred and twenty hearts! Nie Fengshu just stopped and grimaced at his brother. Nie Heng just laughed.
Wen Yi looked at their mother, son, brother and sister and happy harmony, and envied her heart, but she had no parents, no brothers and sisters, and none of them were close to her, so she could only be envious. Nie Heng saw it in his eyes, and when the housekeeper came to ask his mother about tomorrow's birthday banquet, he whispered to his cousin: "Cousin, although my mother loves us, she also loves you." Last night I heard that you were coming, so I immediately asked to make you something to eat. She treats you like us, cousin, don't feel wronged. ”
Wen Yi's nose was sour, and she hurriedly said, "Big cousin, who do you think of me?" How can I feel aggrieved because my uncle and mother are close to my own flesh and blood? Is...... Thinking of his own background, I envy the brotherhood between my eldest cousin and my cousin......"
Nie Heng smiled: "What is there to envy about this?" Xiaoshu is my sister, aren't you also my sister? You treat me like a brother, if you want to eat or play, just tell me, don't go outside. If you have any difficulties or grievances, just tell me. Although my brother is weaker, he is not a waste, and he can still protect his sister. ”
Wen Yi only felt warm in her heart, and choked up. Nie Fengshu saw her crying, and hurriedly whispered to the Qin family, and the Qin family hurriedly sent the housekeeper, came over and took her hand and asked, "Why are you crying again?" But your brother bullied you?! He glared at his son.
Wen Yi hurriedly wiped away her tears and said, "Don't do the big cousin's business, it turned out that my nephew's daughter accidentally lost her eyes." After a pause, he asked again: "The grandmother of my nephew's daughter is also suffering from coughing in autumn and winter." There is an old lady doctor in Binh Duong who occasionally comes to treat his grandmother. Grandmother took the medicine he prescribed and felt better. The next time he comes home again, his niece and daughter will ask a few maintenance recipes? Grandmother can use it, and my eldest cousin must be able to use it too. ”
Qin was overjoyed: "Is this true?!" If you can have the holy hand of the Tai Hospital to see you, then there is hope for your eldest cousin's illness! ”
Wen Yi was taken aback, and Nie Heng spoke first: "Mother, that old lady, my father also invited me in the past, the shelf is very big, and I refused to come after inviting it more than a dozen times, so forget it." My cousin asked for a few maintenance tips, let's copy it and try it, and forget it. ”
Although the Qin family was a little disappointed, he also knew that his son's words were reasonable, and he was afraid that his nephew and daughter would be too careful, so he hurriedly smiled and said: "Your eldest cousin is not wrong in what he said, this is more than 100 miles away from Pingyang City, and the old lady doctor is very old, so he must not want to go far." Your eldest cousin is weak, and your uncle and I don't worry about him going out, otherwise it would be better for him to come to the door for treatment. You can just ask a few maintenance tips. ”
Wen Yi's face was flushed, ashamed and ashamed, and she nodded indiscriminately, but she secretly decided in her heart that she must get a few good prescriptions from the old lady Wang, otherwise she would find other good doctors to inquire, no matter what, the promised things will always be done.
But thinking of the scene when the eldest cousin spoke for her, she had a little more worry: she didn't say a word, just showed a little clue, and the eldest cousin had already guessed her thoughts. Such a delicate heart, I am afraid that it will hinder Shouyuan. I remember that the old man often said that wisdom must be injured, the eldest cousin has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he is a thoughtful character, how can he raise it well? If he has a good one, what about his aunt and uncle, and his cousin?
She looked up at the Qin family, who was looking at her daughter with a loving face, and the little book cousin who was arguing with her brother, and then at the uncle who walked in from outside the door with a smile, saying that the kitchen had prepared good dishes, and secretly pursed her lips. Nie Heng looked back and smiled: "What does my sister think?" At such a young age, what is there to worry about? Just leave it to us. Come on, what do you want to eat later? My brother told the kitchen to do it! ”
At the western foot of Taiping Mountain, in Caojia Village, Luo Mingmin stared at the young man in front of him, with a smile on his face, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes: "Have you made up your mind?!" Your second master Luo is not as sick as the Nie family's sick Pan An, he is a master who can't tolerate sand in his eyes, if you follow the master, and then you want to run, but you can't! ”
The young man fell to his knees, his eyes full of determination: "The little one has already made up his mind!" Second Master Luo took the small one, but did not send it to the official, and gave the small money to treat his mother's illness. The kindness of the second master, the little one can't pay it back in this life, and he is willing to be a cow and a horse for the second master for a lifetime, even if it is broken, he is willing! ”
Luo Mingmin laughed: "You have figured things out, and if you don't send you to the official, it's your old master's intention, I'm just doing a favor!" ”
The young man blushed and said ashamedly: "The little one has no face to ask the master and the young master again, I can only thank them for their grace in my heart, and I will not forget the kindness of the Nie family if I follow the second master in the future!" ”
Liu Dongxing leaned against the trunk of the tree next to him, saw this with cold eyes, and said lightly: "Brother Luo, you can accept him." I think he's still smart, and if it's not good, I'll drive him away. ”
Luo Mingmin glanced at him: "Obviously you took a fancy to him, why did you ask me to accept someone?!" “
Liu Dongxing smiled slightly: "If there is one more person in my place, how can there be anyone in the family who doesn't know?" In a word, he can't get any good, but it's better to be comfortable with you. ”
Luo Mingmin knew the situation in his family, so he didn't say anything, just shouted to the young man: "Don't get up yet?!" The master will give you a chance, and what happens in the future depends on whether you are loyal or not, and whether you can do it! But there is one thing, you are not allowed to get close to that Liu Chongba again! If I know that you are in collusion with him again, you will leave me immediately! ”
The young man hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The little one doesn't dare, the little one didn't know that he was a mountain bandit, thinking that he was from the same village, and he wouldn't harm the little one." Now that he knows his identity, where do he dare to provoke him again. ”
Luo Mingmin waved his hand: "Come on, and believe you once." What was the name Nie Yuanhu gave you before? Looking for an article? That's it, I don't have to change it. Settle your house, and when your mother recovers, you will show your grandfather the way. We want to go to the top of the king! ”
Xunwen replied and retreated, Luo Mingmin looked at the mountain peaks in the distance, sighed, and looked at his friend: "Xiaoliu, you say...... Can we really find someone? Even if he really finds it, that person is really as divine as the master said?! ”
Liu Dongxing stared at the mountain peak and nodded: "Since the master said, we also asked a lot of insiders along the way, so there will be no mistake!" ”
"That's good!" Luo Mingmin breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, "If that master is willing to accept us as apprentices, even if the family knows about it, it will be worth beating and scolding us!" ”
