Chapter Twenty-Nine: Feeling in the Heart

By the time Wen Yi woke up, Jun Minxing had already said goodbye and left. Wen Yi only felt rude and was very embarrassed. Mrs. Lu said: "I look at his expression, I should have told your cousin that he is only responsible for delivering the letter, regardless of replying to the letter, so he doesn't say a word, and he will leave after the letter is delivered, and we will not be able to stop him, and when I meet your cousin in the future, I will ask him to help thank you." ”

Wen Yi responded, and suddenly had a strange feeling in her heart, her grandmother's attitude towards her eldest cousin seemed to be a little different. She looked at Mrs. Lu: "Grandmother, what should I do with this letter and the title deed?" ”

Mrs. Lu didn't answer, but just asked her, "What do you think?" ”

Wen Yi thought about it and pursed her lips: "My granddaughter thinks that our family should not take this land." Speaking of which, although my uncle's family bought the hot spring land first, but looking at the price, my granddaughter knew that our family couldn't afford it, even if my uncle came to ask my granddaughter first, my granddaughter wouldn't want it, and in the end, it was still my uncle's family who could go. My uncle's family didn't owe anything to his granddaughter, not to mention, he helped our family negotiate the price of the land and pushed the land price so low, so that we could get benefits, and my granddaughter would like to thank him. She looked down at the title deed again, "My aunt once said that day that their family had bought that piece of hot springs and mountain woodland, and they were already a little reluctant, and they had no energy to buy more land. This is the eldest cousin bought with private money, he is very favored at home, but after all, the family is limited, how much savings can he have? I'm afraid it's already overturned. The granddaughter has not lost her money, but has gained a lot of benefits, if she ignores the embarrassment of her uncle's family and accepts this title deed, how can she be at peace in her heart? ”

A hint of relief flashed in Old Madam Lu's eyes, and she nodded and smiled: "It's rare that you can think like this, and you have lived up to your grandmother's teachings over the years." "The wind of words changed, "It's just that this matter, the Nie family is not reasonable, if your uncle comes to ask you first, and then goes back to buy a hot spring after getting the letter, our family will not blame him, and if he cuts first and then plays, it will inevitably lose his faith." Besides, listening to your aunt's words, if it weren't for his family's money, I am afraid that even the rest of the land would be bought, and what benefits would our family have at that time? Don't you really have any ideas? ”

Wen Yi smiled slightly: "Although my aunt said so, my granddaughter knows that even if his family's money is together, my uncle and eldest cousin will not let her do it." The aunt is already separated from her granddaughter, and some selfishness is inevitable, but the uncle and eldest cousin will not be so cheeky. Although the land is big and cheap, their family has no shortage of property, and they only bought land for the eldest cousin to recuperate. What's more, as long as there is silver, where can the good land not be bought? Do you want to rob your granddaughter? Previously, when the granddaughter was at her uncle's house, the uncle and the eldest cousin had given real estate and a large piece of land, but the granddaughter politely refused, which shows that he is by no means a person who forgets his relatives for profit. ”

Old Madam Lu sighed: "Having said that, I only sigh that your aunt is a human being, and I am afraid that your uncle and cousin will be estranged from you because of her, or make you wronged, in the final analysis, they are a family." ”

Wen Yi lowered her head and whispered, "People in the world, who is not close to each other?" is the granddaughter herself, and when she encounters trouble, she will think of her grandmother first, then her uncle, aunt, eldest cousin, eldest cousin, and then the fifteenth uncle and other clansmen. The granddaughter didn't put her uncle and aunt first, so she complained that they valued her eldest cousin more seriously. The granddaughter only hoped that they could do a little favor when they could, so that the granddaughter could come up with a way to add some money and food to the family and make her grandmother live better, but she never thought that she would have to rely on her uncle's family everywhere, even the fifteenth uncle's family, or other clansmen, the granddaughter did not have high hopes. Our family is in this situation, and if you want to live a good life, you have to depend on your granddaughter's own ability. The good life that you get from others will not last long after all......"

Old Madam Lu looked at her granddaughter in surprise, a little in a trance. Since when did her Wen Yi change from a docile and obedient but slightly too honest personality to an assertive and ambitious appearance now? Previously, her granddaughter was young, she just felt sorry for the child, and felt that her daughter's family still had a soft temperament first, so she only let her granddaughter be literate, know etiquette, understand the rules, and be popular, and didn't teach too many other things. When her granddaughter became stubborn, she was also worried that the child would take money too seriously, and alienate the clan for no reason, and would be uneducated, so she couldn't sleep well day and night. After learning of her granddaughter's dream, she was angry for a while, and she felt sorry for the child's future fate, so she planned for the future while paying attention to the changes in the child's temperament. But just now, after she heard her granddaughter say this, she realized that her granddaughter's heart was ten times stronger than she expected, and she didn't even need to teach anymore. For a while, she only felt that her heart was sour and soft, and there was a little dull pain. Is it because of her incompetence and stubbornness that the child has such a heavy mind at a young age? What is rare is that the child is still an upright and good character, and has never given birth to a heart of anger and resentment.

She stretched out her hand, held Wen Yi's hand, and said with a sigh: "Good boy...... You...... How did you come up with this? It's hard for you......"

Wen Yi smiled shyly and lowered her head: "The granddaughter only hopes to share more worries for her grandmother, and the rest...... I didn't think much of it. ”

How did she come up with that? I can't tell myself, I can't even remember when this idea came about, maybe it was the first day after she returned to her childhood, maybe it was the day she was humiliated in the long room, maybe it was when she found out that after saving the fifteenth aunt mother and son, Jiufang was worried about the rumors and behaved unnaturally, or maybe after she learned that her uncle's family bought the hot spring woodland first. In short, she has a faint feeling in her heart that if she wants to revitalize the family business, it is better to rely on herself.

Old Madam Lu frowned lightly, sighed for a long time: "If it weren't for grandmother, you wouldn't have to ......"

Wen Yi hurriedly interrupted her: "What did grandmother say this?" Without the protection of her grandmother, where would her granddaughter have a good life? Grandmother has forgotten what happened in her dream?! ”

Mrs. Lu changed her mind at this time, and smiled faintly at her: "In this case, you will collect this title deed, and when you see your cousin next time, you will quietly return it to him." He didn't send his family to come, but he asked a friend, but he was afraid that he would hide it from his family, and you should not make a noise, so as to save him from complaining in front of his parents. After a pause, he lowered his voice: "It's really the ancestor who burned high incense, and such parents can actually raise such a good son!" ”

Wen Yi snickered and agreed, carefully put the title deed and letter back in the envelope, put it in her sleeve, thought about it, and said to her grandmother: "In a few days, the steward of Zhuangzi will come to pay the rent and pay the bill, can you let your granddaughter learn more things with her grandmother?" Although her granddaughter went to school in her dream, after all, it was just talk on paper, and she actually took care of the housework, so I don't know if it will make jokes. Grandmothers teach their granddaughters more, and they can also ask their granddaughters to learn the height of their eyebrows. She has been able to use the statement of "dream" freely, and she will no longer be as careful as before, for fear of leaking her mouth.

Old Madam Lu frowned and said: "Of course, I can teach you these things, but it is better for you to go to the boudoir to learn, if you have no foundation, you may not be able to do a good job if you rashly learn housekeeping." It's probably rare to be able to remember things in dreams, where is it better than really learning? ”

The boudoir only requires students to learn poetry and etiquette for one hour a day, and then learn needlework for another hour, and after the age of twelve, they will begin to learn housework, which is considered to be only half a day of class every day. However, Wen Yi felt that she still had to spend time taking care of the property and taking care of her grandmother and recuperating her body, so she felt that there was not enough time. What's more, she was serious in her previous life, even if she only took classes for four years, she has already learned almost, only the last year of human contacts, cooking skills and ceremonies, etc., these things can be learned at home, grandmother may be better than the female gentleman who learned from the boudoir, and it doesn't matter if you don't go.

Thinking of this, she said: "Although it was dreamed of in a dream, the granddaughter felt as if she had experienced it herself, and even the granddaughter still remembered what the female husband praised her aunt and sisters, and she taught it." If my grandmother doesn't believe me, you can find out. ”

Mrs. Lu smiled dumbly: "It's not necessary, what is taught in the boudoir school, I have heard a lot of people say, how can I not know?" It's very loose. I look at your words and deeds recently, but there are some rules, since you don't want to go to the boudoir to study, then stay at home and learn from me. I can still teach these things. After a pause, he looked at Wen Yi thoughtfully: "It's strange to say, since the Buddha warned you in a dream, how could he even say this little thing clearly, it doesn't seem like a dream, but as if you have experienced it yourself." ”

Wen Yi's heart trembled, and she smiled hurriedly: "Isn't it?" My granddaughter didn't think it was a dream. I remember that the ancients had an allusion to 'a dream of yellow sorghum', and the granddaughter can also be regarded as a 'dream of yellow sorghum', right? It's just that when I dream, I don't burn rice, but medicine. ”

Old Madam Lu couldn't help but smile and glared at her: "The Buddha can also be arranged?!" Beware of the Buddha's punishment of you! ”

Wen Yi smiled and blinked: "My granddaughter is not afraid, the Buddha dreamed for a reason." I remember that my grandmother once said that my great-great-grandmother believed in Buddhism, and my great-grandmother also believed in Buddhism, and now my grandmother also believed in Buddhism, and my mother also worshiped Buddha during her lifetime, which is four generations of Buddha, plus my granddaughter is five generations in a row! How rare! The Buddha must have seen that our family was pious, so he would send a dream to warn and let our family escape the catastrophe. She recently felt that this speculation was very reliable, after all, plus her monk, it is rare for five generations of people to worship the Buddha in a row, and the Buddha felt that she died too unjustly, so he would give her a chance to start over.

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she also felt that it made sense, but she didn't think much about it, if the Buddha really felt pity because of their merits in worshiping the Buddha in six rooms and four generations, why didn't she directly save the male fetus in her daughter-in-law's womb in the first place? She just decided that this guess was most likely the cause of the Buddha's dream, so she hurriedly pulled her granddaughter to the Buddha Hall to kneel, and recited the sutra silently before giving up.

After saying this, Wen Yi took the opportunity to say: "Grandmother, the Buddha is so merciful, and the granddaughter should also express it." From tomorrow, my granddaughter will switch to a vegetarian diet, right? "Although the meat is good, it is too disrespectful in the end, and it costs much more than vegetarian dishes.

Mrs. Lu refused to let go: "Your child's family, why do you want to learn from other people's vegetarian diets?" Grandmother just eats it. If you have the heart, on the fifteenth day of the new year, you should fast with your grandmother. ”

Wen Yi was disappointed in her heart, but she was still unwilling: "Even if it's a half-vegetarian, it's fine." The granddaughter also wants to do her best to thank the Buddha for his compassion. ”

"Then you can worship the Buddha more with your grandmother, just chant the scriptures, and every month your grandmother will do some needlework to the temple, or ask the lotus nunnery to do things. Qinglian Nunnery is our Gu family's family nunnery, you can go with your grandmother to give up things, and listen to Buddhism more in your spare time, nothing else. You're still young, and it's time to grow your body. ”

Although Wen Yi was unwilling, looking at her grandmother's expression, she knew that she couldn't change it, so she had to press it down for the time being and silently chant the Buddha in her heart.

Late at night, she returned to her room, took out her eldest cousin's letter and looked at it carefully, her eyes were slightly hot. The eldest cousin treated her very well, and he said that he would treat her as his own sister, not just talking. Wen Yi only hated that she didn't have such a brother, but when she thought of her eldest cousin's body, she was worried again.

A few days ago, she inquired about the whereabouts of the old lady Wang, and learned that he had been in and out of Xuanle Hall for most of the past half a month, almost every two or three days, and every time the people from the long house sent a car to pick him up, coming and going in a hurry, and he didn't talk to others. Judging from the pattern of his visit, she should come again tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and she has to find a way to stop him when he leaves, and invite her grandmother to see her. There is no need for Changfang to come forward, he has only seen the patients in Changfang, can he still refuse if Liufang invites him? It's just that there is some trouble for people who drive cars in long houses......

Speaking of which, who is sick in the long house? A few days ago, I only vaguely heard that the second aunt was pregnant, looking at her appearance that day, her complexion was quite normal, if it was just a safe pulse, Gu Zhuang's doctor's medical skills were also passable, there was no need to ask the old lady doctor to come to see her the next day, right? If it was said that the uncle's grandmother Yu Lao Madam was infected with the wind cold, this disease had dragged on long enough, and with the methods of the old lady Wang, this little illness should have been cured a long time ago. In the long room, if it is not a serious illness related to life and death, only the old lady of the Yu family is qualified, could it be that her "wind and cold" is really so tricky?

Wen Yi began to suspect that Old Madam Yu's illness might not be so simple. According to the custom, when she is sick in the old man, the people in the long house will preach it all over the village, and then there will be an endless stream of people who visit the sick and ask for peace. But this time, except for the two days when she started to get sick, almost every room had people go to visit the patient, and the people who went later were all blocked back without exception, asking how the old lady was doing, why she got sick, there were all kinds of opinions in the long room, and there was not even a unified answer, is there really a problem with her old man's illness? !
