Wen Yi thought of no one else, it was her own uncle Nie Jiachang.

This uncle, who was her mother's brother, lived in Pingyin City, separated from Pingyang by a Taiping Mountain, and the road was only a hundred miles. The grandfather of the Nie family had a great reputation, and he also served as a county magistrate in his early years, and happened to be an official in a place with Wen Yi's grandfather Gu Ketu. After Gu Ketu died, the old lady of the Lu family dragged her son to grow up, and when she reached the age of saying that she was married, she learned that this old friend had settled in Pingyin City, and when she sent someone to visit, she heard that the daughter of the Nie family was doing well, and remembered the situation of the two families in the early years, so she set this family affair for her son.

At that time, Wen Yi's father, Gu Yicheng, had just been admitted to Xiucai, and he was also a match for the girl from the county Cheng family. The Nie family has only one son and one daughter, and they love their daughter very much, although the family is only well-off, and they also gave a lot of dowries, plus the love and harmony of the young couple after marriage, the two families can be said to be very close. Wen Yi still remembers when she was a child, when her mother took her back to her parents' house, when her uncle loved her so much that he was even willing to disguise himself as a horse and let her ride on his back and climb around the hall. She played with her uncle's cousin and cousin, and she was also very harmonious.

It's just that since the death of his parents, the two families have cut off contact. Nearly 20 years ago, Wen Yi can't remember very clearly, only vaguely remember that after her mother passed away, her uncle and aunt came once, and her aunt still hugged her and cried, but that day, her grandmother was very angry and seemed to have a quarrel with her uncle, and her uncle's family never came to the door again. When she was older, she heard about the civil unrest in Pingyin City, and begged her grandmother to send someone to ask, although her grandmother agreed, her face was very unhappy. Later, it was the uncle who came to the door to ask for the field.

Wen Yi doesn't know why her grandmother and uncle fell out, but her uncle did love her very much when she was a child, even if she didn't get along with her grandmother, it wouldn't hurt her as a nephew, right? My mother's Xitian, my uncle hadn't asked for so many years, and if it wasn't for the robbery of the family, I probably wouldn't have had the idea of begging.

Wen Yi's heart was a little heavy, she felt that she was young and ignorant in her previous life, and she didn't pay attention to many things, but this time, she had to think about it. That's his own uncle, and since his father can't be trusted, he can only ask his uncle. If it is possible, let the uncle's family escape the civil unrest and avoid the fate of being robbed, will the two families be able to communicate again in the future?

However, Pingyin City is so far away from Gu Zhuang, she is a little girl, and if she wants to get in touch with her uncle's family, she can't do it without a helper. Moreover, why did my uncle and grandmother quarrel in the first place? She had to figure it out first.

Wen Yi didn't have the courage to ask her grandmother, so she hit Mama Zhao with her idea, and found an excuse, saying that she wanted Mama Zhao to guide her in needlework, invited people into the room, and closed the door again, before whispering her doubts.

Mama Zhao's original smiling expression gradually became serious, and she frowned and asked, "Little Miss, why are you asking this?" ”

Wen Yi hesitated slightly, and then told a rough story about what happened in Xuanle Hall a few days ago, and Mama Zhao was angry when she heard it: "Which young lady has no tutor like this?!" The reputation of the Gu family for a hundred years has been ruined by her! He complained about the long room and the second room: "I put a fair and benevolent shelf all day long, and when I really met my children and grandchildren, I changed my face, and they also had the face to see you, a junior!" ”

Wen Yi heard it strangely, the long room is okay to say, Wen An Wenhui is a grandson and granddaughter, why is the second room also counted in it?

She asked, and Mama Zhao said: "I can't complain that you don't know, you haven't gone out for the past few days, and the old lady is not allowed to talk about right and wrong outside at home." The second young master in the second room was about to go to the capital to catch the exam, so the fourth wife specially entrusted the long room to take care of it. She loves to teach people the most on weekdays, but this time she doesn't say anything, isn't it because she asks for others?! Don't be afraid, Miss Six did such a thing, it was the Changfang who was at fault, and it went out, and it was them who had no face, and you can't blame it! ”

Wen Yi hurriedly said: "Mama, there's no need for it." Although I was also a little angry, I didn't plan to deal with his family, for fear that it would make a big fuss and his family would cheat again, and our family would fall behind. That's the patriarch's house. Moreover, if the matter is known, if others don't say it, my grandmother will definitely feel uncomfortable. ”

Mama Zhao sighed and looked at Wen Yi lovingly: "Good miss, Mama knows your concerns, don't worry, Mama didn't tell the old lady, she just wronged you." ”

Wen Yi smiled and changed the topic: "Because of this incident, I can see that in this clan, there are few people who take grandmother and me in their eyes, grandmother and I have something to entrust to do on weekdays, find the head of the clan, and beg people in a low voice not to say anything, and the money is also spent a lot." I thought that when I was a child, my uncle loved me the most, if he could come forward for our family, wouldn't it be much easier? My grandfather was an official, and my uncle also had some face in Pingyin City, and with him as our backer, the clansmen didn't dare to deceive people too much. Besides, as an uncle, it is cheaper to work in the yamen. I have heard people say that although our family is extinct, the family property has been returned to the public middle school, and the property that is repurchased is a private house. If the family has surplus money, ten acres and eight acres, buy more land, and be able to make more purchases every year, isn't it better than just guarding two small villages and getting dozens of taels of silver a year? ”

She has been with her grandmother for the past few days, inquiring openly and secretly, and she also knows a little about the situation at home. Grandmother's dowry Zhuangzi has sold a lot of land over the past few decades, and the remaining twenty or thirty acres of thin land do not produce much, and the Zhuangzi that my mother marries is larger, but it only earns forty or fifty taels a year. The two Zhuangzi combined, plus the money and grain distributed by the clan, the grandparents and grandchildren lived quite well, but the grandmother had seen a doctor and taken a lot of medicine over the years, plus she had to give her granddaughter a dowry, and she was always tight on hand, and she was reluctant to make new clothes. Wen Yi pondered adding some input to her family, and the first thing she considered was to buy property. Dowry or something, you can put it away first.

Mama Zhao pondered for a moment and said, "Miss's words are also reasonable, but this property matter, don't mention it first." Although the property in the back is owned by each family, but because Miss has no brothers to help her, this private property is a little unclear, and it is better to ...... it in the future" After thinking about it, he felt that Wen Yi was too young to say anything about the dowry, so he changed his words and said, "The matter of the uncle, Miss is the right person." If you ask the old lady, I'm afraid you will have to learn a lesson. In fact...... It's not a big deal, it was because the old lady was sad for a while, she wanted to be left, what she said was not good, and the uncle was annoyed. ”

It turned out that Wen Yi's father Gu Yicheng died of illness on the way to the exam, and when the news spread back to the village, her mother Nie immediately fainted. At that time, my mother was four or five months pregnant, and the doctors who checked the pulse said that eighty percent of them were boys. Because the mother was too sad and cried every day, the fetus was not saved, it flowed, the mother hurt her body, and she was discouraged, she didn't even take medicine, she didn't listen to anyone's advice, and she survived to death. Grandmother Mrs. Lu knew that the Nie family's goddaughter paid attention to "three obedience and four virtues", and she attached great importance to chastity and martyrdom, so she had resentment in her heart, thinking that if it wasn't for her daughter-in-law being confused and not knowing how to take care, her son would not be extinct, and the daughter-in-law didn't miss her daughter's loneliness at all, so she insisted on going with her son, leaving her an old woman and a little granddaughter to suffer in this world.

Coincidentally, Nie Jiachang was also sad when he saw that his sister-in-law and brother-in-law were gone, and he was worried that his nephew's daughter had no one to take care of, and the old lady was old, and he didn't know how many years he could live, and he was worried that his nephew's daughter would be bullied in the clan, so he wanted to take Wen Yi over to raise him, and because his son was a few years older than his cousin, he wanted the two children to settle a family affair, and in the future, his niece and daughter would have a lifelong support, and he could rest assured.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she became even more angry, thinking that the Nie family was coming to take away her granddaughter, and she only had this bit of blood left, how could she let people snatch it away?! I also suspect that the son of the Nie family has been weak and sick since he was a child, and he doesn't know if he can raise him in the future, if he sets up a family affair, he will have a good future in the future, and his granddaughter will be guarded according to the rules of the Gu family, so wouldn't it hurt his granddaughter for a lifetime? ! Besides, if you can teach a daughter-in-law who doesn't care about the general situation, the Nie family doesn't know what they will teach their granddaughter to be!

When Nie Jiachang heard this, he was also angry. His sister-in-law was martyred, and this mother-in-law still wants to speak ill of her, how can he bear it?! So the two parted unhappily.

After listening to Mama Zhao's account of what happened back then, Wen Yi understood what was going on, and her heart was very sour. It turned out that she also used to have a younger brother......

Wiping away her tears, Wen Yi choked up and said, "So, uncle...... Did it hurt me? Mama Zhao sighed: "Uncle is really sorry for Miss, because the old lady is afraid of him, he is not good at coming to the door, but every New Year's Day, he never forgets to send people to give gifts, but the old lady has driven people back every time." ”

Wen Yi sighed. No matter which elder she is, she can't complain about this. Grandmother and uncle made trouble because they felt sorry for her, thinking of her deceased mother and the younger brother who would be born in the future, Wen Yi couldn't help crying silently.

After wiping away her tears, Wen Yi said, "Mama, since it's for this reason, you say...... Would my grandmother not be happy that I would be close to my uncle? ”

Mama Zhao wiped her tears, thought for a while, and said: "The old lady's filial piety has passed, although the old lady is sad, looking at her usual situation, she has probably lost a little anger." As long as the young lady is filial and no longer mentions the raising or marriage, it is also reasonable for the young lady to want to associate with her uncle's family. The old lady is not an unreasonable person, and she should not stop her. Suddenly, I remembered one more thing: "In a few days, it seems to be my uncle's birthday, isn't it?" I can't remember what day it was, was it the third year of junior high school, or the fifth day of junior high school? ”

Wen Yi thought for a while: "It's the fourth year of the new year, that year I went back to my parents' house with my mother to save relatives, and I just passed my uncle's birthday, and I was supposed to come back the next day, but my aunt said that in three days it would be the Qiqiao Festival, and I told my mother to leave after the festival." ”

Mama Zhao also remembered it and said with a smile: "Miss has a really good memory!" It's the fourth year of junior high school! It's only been two days since I thought about it, if Miss really wants to have a relationship with his family, why don't you prepare a gift and send it over to celebrate my uncle's birthday in the name of Miss? ”

Wen Yi nodded, and shook her head again: "No, the two families had such a quarrel back then, and my grandmother refused his family's gifts every year, so I had to go in person, not to compensate my grandmother, but to ask my uncle not to blame my grandmother." The more she thought about it, the more she felt compelled to do it. There is no competent subordinate in the family, and some words are not clear in the letter, and if she wants her uncle to be her help, she has to go on a trip herself.

Mrs. Lu listened to Mama Zhao's persuasion, and glanced at her granddaughter expressionlessly: "You want to go over in person?" ”

Wen Yi was worried that her grandmother would be angry, but she always kept in mind the words "important matters" in her heart, and nodded: "Yes, granddaughter...... In order to keep filial piety, I haven't come to the door to ask for peace for three years, which is really rude, so I ...... I want to come to my uncle in person to make amends...... and I'm afraid that my grandmother will think too much, "My granddaughter won't stay overnight, so I'll be back that day!" ”

Old Madam Lu was silent for a while, and she didn't say a word until Wen Yi waited until she was frightened and thought that things must be hopeless, and then she spoke: "Since you are going, more than 100 miles away, where can you go back in one day?!" Ask the Zhang family to accompany them, bring a change of clothes for two days, and come back after two days! ”

Wen Yi looked at her grandmother overjoyed, but Mrs. Lu got up and went inside: "Zhao family, remember to prepare a decent gift, although our family is defeated, we can't be ashamed among relatives!" ”

Wen Yi wanted to chase in, but Mama Zhao had already seen that the hostess's face was not good, so she hurriedly stopped her, shook her head, and whispered: "When the old lady calms down in the evening, the young lady will be coquettish again, and it will be fine." Wen Yi just gave up.

Mrs. Lu was in the middle room, but she stared at a brocade box on the dressing table in a daze. This afternoon, the niece and daughter-in-law of the fifth room came over and talked about the gossip of the long room, which made her heart sink deeply. I can't complain that my granddaughter will beat her uncle's idea, is she old......

On the second day of the seventh month, it was a sunny day. Wen Yi set off to Pingyin City on this day to pay homage to her uncle, and had prepared four boxes of birthday cakes, two boxes of birthday gifts, and gifts for her aunt, cousins, and cousins. Mrs. Lu personally instructed Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang, who were with the car, to say a lot of words, and then sent her granddaughter to the car, stood in front of the car, wanted to say something, her mouth moved, and for a long time, she still didn't speak, only said lightly, "Be careful on the road", and went back to the house.

Wen Yi looked at her grandmother's back, a little sad, but she knew that she must go to this far door today, so she could only clean up her mood, say goodbye to Mama Zhao, take Aunt Zhang, and take the carriage to the road.

Pingyin City is in the north of Pingyang, and if you go by land, you have to bypass the east side of Taiping Mountain, all the way is a straight official road, and there are many people coming and going. Wen Yi and his entourage had only left Guzhuang not far away, so they had to stop. In the distance, seven or eight carriages were parked there, blocking the entire road, and half of the carriage could not pass.

Uncle Zhang watched from afar for a while, and came back to report: "Miss, it seems that the people in the long room and the second room, the little one saw the housekeeper of Xuanle Hall, and the carriage dedicated to the sixth lady, and the seventh young master also rode a horse in front to talk to the second wife. ”

Wen Yi's face sank and asked, "Apart from the second wife, which other elder is here?!" ”

"The little one can't see clearly, but look at the carriage, and the big old lady is probably there. is about saying goodbye to the second young master, the seventh young master and the sixth young lady. ”

Wen Yi pursed her lips: "In this case, I'm afraid that it will take some time, is there any other way to go?!" ”

Uncle Zhang was a little puzzled, didn't the little master plan to go over and say goodbye? It's just that he has always been honest, so he said: "Walking from the west side of Taiping Mountain, there is also a road, which is closer to Pingyin. If the weather is good, you won't have to go to the city gate for a day! ”

Wen Yi didn't want to go over to meet the people in the long room and the second room, so she made a decision: "Then go west!" Hurry up and get there before dark! ”

Aunt Zhang hurriedly said: "Miss, the west is remote, I'm afraid it's not peaceful." ”

Wen Yi has already made up her mind, where is she willing to listen? Besides, she had never heard of anything unsmooth on the west road in her previous life, so she still ordered Uncle Zhang to turn the car around and run onto the west road.

This road is really remote, the road is quite smooth, but the grass and trees are dense all the way, and I only see people after a few miles. Uncle Zhang was a little worried in his heart, but because he had just made a package ticket, he could only bite the bullet and speed up the two whips to move forward. At noon, I didn't dare to find a place to rest, so I only ate some dry food in the car.

After Shen Zheng (four o'clock in the afternoon), the sun was west, and the carriage arrived at a mountain col, Uncle Zhang gradually relaxed, and said to the carriage: "Miss, turn this corner, and go two miles further, it is the official road!" There's a big Zhuangzi there, where you can rest! You can also stay at the hotel! It is only twenty or thirty miles away from Pingyin. ”

Wen Yi was happy to hear this: "Then let's go!" ...... again when he arrived at the village, before the words fell, Uncle Zhang shouted outside, and then there was a heavy bang on the roof of the carriage, and the roof of the carriage was concave, Wen Yi was startled and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?!" Aunt Zhang screamed by the car window: "Miss, it's a robber!" ”

Wen Yi was shocked, and Uncle Zhang shouted outside the carriage: "What are you going to do?!" Then the carriage shook violently, and the horse neighed, and soon stopped. Aunt Zhang lifted the curtain and looked out, and as soon as she rolled her eyes, she fainted, and her body fell straight to the wheels.

Wen Yi watched Uncle Zhang stalemate with two men with their faces covered and ragged clothes, and was terrified in her heart, shouting, "You guys...... Don't you recognize the lantern hanging on the car?! We are the people of the Gu family in Pingyang, and if you rob us, you will not end well! ”

The two looked at each other, and the thinner man on the left shouted, "I'm dying of hunger, where can I care whose family it is?!" After that, he stretched out a knife: "Why don't you get the money out quickly?!" The other also stretched out his knife: "Yes! Get the money out! He stretched out his sword wrongly, but cut the horse's ears, and the horse was in pain, neighed, and kicked him away with his hoof, and rushed forward like mad.

Wen Yi didn't sit still, she fell straight into the carriage, bumping all the way, dizzy, only vaguely heard Uncle Zhang calling "Miss, Miss" there, the voice was getting farther and farther away, but she regretted in her heart, was she too reckless today......

The horses outside neighed again, but it sounded a little different from before, and it gradually slowed down, and there were people shouting. Wen Yi finally waited for the dizziness to pass, only to feel a pain in her head, probably just knocked over, and couldn't help but be surprised when she saw that the carriage had stopped. Could it be that the rescuers came?!

At this time, a young man's voice came from outside: "Miss in the car, are you okay?" ”

(For the sake of this person's appearance, please don't blame me for being late, ask for PK votes...... ）
