Chapter 227: Yu'er goes to the grave
Wang Mingzhe has a deep affection for his wife, how can Wang Mingli have a blasphemy towards her. Lan Yi remembered Wang Mingli's movements when he saw Yirou's corpse, and he also shook his head and sighed.
"Dad, I think we still have to start with Wang Chengsu." Lan Yi speculated that Wang Chengsu's father and son must have played a big role in this matter, "Did Wang Chengsu's father die of illness?" ”
Wang Chengde also knows this, although Wang Chengsu's father went to Zhuangzi to raise him after his lameness, Wang Chengsu has always followed Wang Mingli. After his death, Wang Mingli personally went to pay his respects and buried him with a lot of silver.
"I heard that I was guilty of an old illness, and my father and your brother were already in prison at the time, so I don't know any more. After coming out, he inquired in many ways, only to know that he had been out of the Zhuangzi for a while, and he went a few days after he returned, and no one knew where he went. ”
Lan Yi nodded, "If you are a human being, you will have weaknesses, sooner or later you will show your feet, if your father doesn't let people stare at Wang Chengsu, sooner or later there will be gains." And then there's Wang Tiangui, isn't there any news? ”
"He's just a pawn, not worth mentioning." Wang Chengde seemed to hate this person very much, and didn't say more, "Your mother is the same son of the Wang family as your father, and when the aunt and grandmother of the Wang family married to Luzhou, the old lady made their family a companion, and your mother was engaged to her father since she was a child, so she was left by the old lady and did not follow." ”
It turned out to be like this, "Is the grandfather's family okay in Luzhou?" ”
Wang Chengde nodded, "Three years ago, when my father followed my uncle to Luzhou to discuss business, I visited them, and the two elders were strong and strong, and your two uncles were able to manage things by your aunt's side." Mrs. Tai and the eldest young master passed away, and your eldest uncle came back and lived in our house for a while. Momo doesn't remember now. ”
At that time, she couldn't remember what happened, Lan Yi suddenly felt very sorry for Wang Chengde's family, "Dad, it's inconvenient for you to bring too many things all the way back on horseback, you can take these two hundred taels of silver, go back and add some New Year's goods to your mother." ”
Wang Chengde refused to accept it. "There is no shortage of money at home, and the old lady has also rewarded a lot, enough to spend. You still have more than half of the five hundred taels you left behind last time. ”
Lan Yi refused to take it back, "Dad, you can take it, this is a little bit of my daughter's heart." You also know that your daughter is not short of this silver now. The daughter also had to trouble her father to use the silver to buy some New Year's goods that she could get her hands on. Sending it to the old lady and Second Master Zhang can be regarded as a little bit of our heart for Wenxuan and me. ”
Mrs. Zhou's name is Lan Yi's stepmother, Zhang Pingyu is Wenxuan's father-in-law, and the New Year's holiday should be greeting, so Wang Chengde accepted it.
"Dad, Uncle Cui's bird's nest is too valuable, and my daughter always feels uneasy when she keeps it."
Wang Chengde smiled, "Silly girl." This is a piece of their mind, and you will not be disturbed by them. Although this bird's nest is a product from the medicinal herb shop. But the three of them paid out of their pockets for you, and the business in the store was good this year, and almost all of the dividends of the three of them were taken out to prepare New Year's goods for the young master and Tao'er. You see, although the children's toys they brought are inconspicuous, they are all good things from the South Seas, and we can't see them here. ”
Tian Zhong did bring a lot of gadgets to Wen Xuan, Lan Yi didn't care too much, but she didn't expect it to be very valuable, she wanted to take it back to see which ones were afraid of bumping, and put them away first.
"Daddy has to leave tomorrow, can't he stay two more days?" Lan Yi said reluctantly.
Wang Chengde is naturally reluctant to give up his daughter, but it is not okay if Meixian does not go back, "When you and Wei Ji get married next year, your father must come over early." ”
Lan Yi nodded with a slightly red face, "Dad, on this cold day, you are riding a horse and galloping, can your body and bones hold it?" ”
Wang Chengde patted his leg, "The duck down cotton clothes that your brother brought back, my father wore it, it was really light and warm, plus the tiger bone wine sent by Wei Ji, my father's body was strong." Okay, Peach is resting at home, and Dad is riding to the city to have a look. ”
On the second day, Wang Chengde and the three of them took the New Year's goods prepared by Lan Yi, at least said goodbye, and after sending them away, the New Year was closer. Qingshan Oil Mill and Fresh Fruit Workshop began to close, grocery stores, mountain goods shops and oil shops to open until the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, these days are the time to sell goods, Wang Linyuan and Wang Linxi are particularly busy, Zhou Weiji helped the two horses bought back from the horse farm Although they were brought back, but the two brothers have not ridden smoothly, Uncle Wang did not allow them to ride into the city, only said that they were familiar with a few days during the New Year, and they could ride on the road next year. Wang Lin was happy, Wang Linyuan had to lead the horse to ride a few laps around the scholars at the edge of the village every day when he came back, and his joy was beyond words.
Xia Shun and his six sons set off on the twentieth day of the lunar month, escorting the New Year's goods prepared by the Xia family back to the Mi family in Meixian County for the New Year, and Lan Yi also brought the gifts prepared for Xia Wan with them.
Lan Yi and Jia are busy at home, cleaning the house, changing quilt covers, bed sheets and clothes, steaming steamed buns and big buns, etc., day after day. The customs of the Great Zhou Dynasty are to prepare the pasta eaten in the first month of the month, and the steamed steamed buns cannot be opened in the first month, Lan Yi's family only had her and two children last year, so naturally they don't care about these, this year there is Jia's family, everything must be according to the rules, and Lan Yi can only follow.
After the new year, the sound of firecrackers gradually became louder and quieter in the village, and every household also replaced the newly bought peach charms. The snow that has accumulated for a winter can't wait to fall all of it, and the silver and white in the sky take advantage of the festive red, which is very beautiful.
On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month, it is appropriate to sacrifice, Lan Yi rode a donkey and took Yu'er to Lijia Village to go to the grave.
The paper money and other things prepared this time were all bought by Yu'er with the copper plate that she sold eggs and duck eggs in exchange. Although his impression of his father began to fade, every time he asked, his mother always told him that his father and mother liked him, and he also remembered in heaven whether he lived well or not, whether he was a good child. So whenever Yu'er thinks of her father, she looks at the sky for a while, looking for which cloud her father and mother live in, and sometimes she can really see their shadows from the clouds.
Lan Yi also told Wenxuan like this, his biological father and mother were also watching him in the clouds, and the two children liked to look at the clouds and look for their relatives in which cloud.
The thirtieth day of the lunar month is the day when the people in the village go to the grave to worship, and there is no trace of people in the cemetery of the Li family, and it is white.
Sweeping away the snow in front of the tombstone of Li Fugui and his wife, Yu'er knelt in front of the grave in a regular manner, set up the offerings, and burned the paper money, this time he didn't cry, and told his father and mother seriously that he was living a good life, and he was going to study in righteousness next year, and he would listen to his mother's words and other trivial matters.
After the sacrifice, the two were about to ride away on donkeys, but they saw an old woman with gray hair and a shabby yellow dress standing next to the donkey, looking at Yu'er in a daze.
Lan Yi felt a little familiar, but Yu'er stiffened and shouted softly, "Grandma." (To be continued......)
