Chapter 19: Life History
Loujia Village. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Du Jiujiang looked at a few lonely coppers on the table, and was a little dizzy. The amount of money spent in the family for a month is eaten by one meal?
The old man held the ravine's forehead with his right hand, and sighed lightly: "Why don't you come back after you eat it all, the remaining money is just a few steamed buns, and it is not too much effort for your stomach." ”
The handsome young man lying on the bed didn't seem to hear the meaning of the master's words, touched his round belly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I really can't eat it!"
Seeing the increasingly gloomy face of the old man, the old man E, who was picking his teeth on the side, also felt that the atmosphere was wrong, and hurriedly said to Dachun, who was standing aside, "Quickly take out the things that are filial to your master!"
Da Chun, who was honest and kind, nodded and put the smoked chicken he had brought back from the restaurant on the table.
Du Jiujiang smelled the fragrant aroma, and his face slowly improved.
Just as he was about to roll up his arms and sleeves to enjoy the filial piety of his apprentices, he heard a sweet and crisp voice shouting outside the door: Brother Xianggong, I heard that you brought me something delicious......
The autumn breeze outside the window was a little cold.
Lao Du's heart was a little cold.
Remembering that the old man in the restaurant asked about his surname, Erdan burped and asked casually: "Master, during the meal, an old man asked me and Dachun what are their surnames, you haven't told us about this, are I and Brother Dachun surnamed Lou?"
The old man was staring at the chicken bones all over the ground in a daze at this time, thinking about whether the little girl was really reincarnated as a celestial eater, and why she had such a good appetite. I hope that she can be merciful, and I don't look forward to being able to give a chicken wing or chicken leg or something, even if it is a chicken neck and chicken butt, that's fine!
Du Jiujiang was stunned for a moment, looking at Da Chun who was sitting next to him with an expectant face, the old man knew that this was the thing that made him unable to open his mouth the most, and finally came.
Du Jiujiang coughed lightly a few times, and said, "Dachun, you were picked up at the foot of Cangmang Mountain seven years ago. ”
Da Chun's body shook suddenly, and then asked eagerly, "What about my father?!"
Du Jiujiang shook his head, glanced at the child who had been brought up since childhood, and said softly: "At that time, you were the only one lying in the grass, and I didn't see your father and mother. We were in danger, so we didn't linger there and took you directly to Loujia Village. Don't worry, your father and mother should still be in the world, and when you are older, you can go down the mountain to find them, and recognize your ancestors in the future. ”
Da Chun is delicate, and he has repeatedly guessed his life experience, and he can barely bear this not too bad result. The two masters have both life-saving grace and nurturing feelings for him, and they are not much worse than those parents.
So Da Chun's expression just dimmed, and he didn't make too many waves in his heart.
At least, there is hope that the parents are alive.
At this moment, a tall woman walked into the house with light steps.
As soon as she entered the door, the woman's head hung slightly, her right hand pressed her left hand, and she saluted the two old men and said softly: "I've seen Mr. Du, I've seen Mr. E." ”
E Chan waved his hand and said with a smile: "Niuniu, her mother, we have been a neighbor for so many years, and we don't even look up and look down, don't be so polite every time, hurry up and find a place to sit." ”
Aunt Li whispered, "Thank you, Mr. E." ”
Although she is a plain-clothed wooden hairpin, Aunt Li's eyes are like stars and the moon, her figure is graceful, her steps are gentle, she is slightly fairy, and she is not charming. Compared with those women dressed up in luxury, there are a little more intimate fireworks.
It's no wonder that the adult women in the village don't like to be with Aunt Li, and they can't be blamed for it, anyone who compares with this talented lady will be overshadowed, and whoever is stupid is willing to be a foil.
Niuniu ran to Aunt Li's side and stuffed the fragrant chicken leg into her mother's mouth.
The little girl eats her mouth, but she is definitely atmospheric, especially for the people close to her, and she is even more bold and open. Otherwise, with her appetite, she is willing to bring so many delicious foods to Brother Erdan every time?
Aunt Li shook her head and smiled, signaling not to.
Niuniu is not polite to her mother, and she will gnaw the chicken legs in two bites.
Aunt Li leaned slightly, put her hands on her legs, her posture was elegant, and she said softly: "In the past few years, Niuniu has been taken care of by the second elder, so you have bothered the second elder." ”
The old man said with a smile: "You can see the outside world, we raise Niuniu as our own granddaughter, so why bother not to bother." Besides, Erdan and Dachun eat more of your family's food than their own food, so you can slap our two old men in the face. ”
Aunt Li bowed slightly, and said apologetically: "The little woman lost her words, I hope the two gentlemen will forgive me." ”
The old man grinned and said, "It's out of the way." ”
Aunt Li pondered for a moment, and said, "Mr. Du, this time the little girl has something to ask for. ”
Du Jiujiang, who was still staring at Niuniu's chicken neck, was slightly stunned, turned his head and said, "Please speak." ”
Aunt Li looked at Niuniu with complicated eyes, bit her lip, and said, "The little woman is actually not surnamed Li." ”
Du Jiujiang stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "If my guess is right, you should be from the Nalan family in Runzhou." ”
Runzhou Nalan is a famous family of the Nanyu Dynasty, a few decades ago, two brothers of the Nalan family, one in the household department, the other in the ministry of the minister, has a double waiter reputation, can be said to be full of Nanyu.
Although the descendants did not sit in such a high position as their uncles, many of them served in the three provinces and six ministries, and they were all nobles.
More than ten years ago, some scholarly Nalan family masters provoked people who should not be messed with in the court, and they were deducted from the big hat of collaborators and wiped out the nine clans. The Nalan family, which was quite famous among the scholars in Jiangnan, was removed overnight, shocking the government and the opposition.
Hearing that Du Jiujiang's words broke the mystery, Aunt Li stood up suddenly, looked flustered, and said in a trembling voice: "How does Mr. Du know that the little girl is from Nalan, Runzhou?"
Du Jiujiang knuckles tapped his knees lightly, and said slowly: "Although you are talented and intelligent, and you can speak Shu slang well, the local accent is difficult to change, and some words still have the accent of Jiangnan County. The old man has no other skills, but he walked a lot when he was young, especially Wu Nong, who was a woman in the south of the Yangtze River, and he has a deep memory. ”
Aunt Li interjected and said urgently: "There are many wealthy lords in Jiangnan, and just by the accent, it can't mean that I am from the Nalan family." ”
Du Jiujiang explained: "The time when you came to Loujia Village coincided with the time when the Nalan family was wiped out. Of course, these two points are not enough to explain your origins. But the 'Furong Mei Niang' you did a few years ago still revealed your origin, and the sum of the three is enough to prove that your surname is Nalan. ”
Aunt Li said suspiciously: "That 'Furong Mei Niang' is almost all the women in Jiangnan County can do it, is what I do different from what they do?"
Du Jiujiang shook his head and said: "When I was young, the old man was greedy, and he often looked for delicacies from all over the world. This hibiscus lady is the best in pastries, and I have eaten it many times. Large households and ordinary people make it, of course, it is slightly different, ordinary people make it is not so exquisite, will not yellow with green to increase the color, and do not know how to put some honey to increase the taste, not to mention only goose eggs without eggs, if it is not for those top door valves, it will not be so cumbersome about a pastry. In addition, the Nalan family was wiped out overnight, and your identity is about to be revealed. ”
After hearing this, Aunt Li was full of admiration and was deeply blessed, "The little girl is the second daughter of the Nalan family, and Nalan is weak." ”
Du Jiujiang helped her up and said in a deep voice: "In this deep mountain, no one will come to seek revenge. If the old man and I were villains, we would have done it a long time ago, so you don't have to hide some things from us, you might as well say them directly. ”
Aunt Li looked embarrassed, lowered her head and said in a panic: "Actually, the little woman knows that the two gentlemen are not villains, but she still has the heart of a villain to live the belly of a gentleman, and I hope that the two gentlemen will hide their background regardless of the little woman." ”
Ezen put his hands on his sleeves, didn't care and said: "Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, so what's there." ”
Aunt Li said sadly: "The little girl's family is in the middle of the road, but she has not forgotten the kindness of her parents, and the big feud is no longer extravagant to be avenged, so she hopes to give the Nalan family a inheritance." When I married Xiucai, I also mentioned to him that I wanted to give birth to a boy surnamed Nalan so that I could leave an incense for my family. But I'm not angry, there's only one girl. The first few **** discussed with her father, their family Ding is prosperous, and there is no shortage of him, so I want Niuniu to follow my surname, this time, I want to ask Mr. Du to give Niuniu a name, so that the descendants of the Nalan family can not be cut off. ”
In this world, children are mainly based on their father's surname, and unless the family is not good enough to join the woman's family, the children will have their mother's surname. This is really humiliating for the man, and Lou Xiucai is also deeply affectionate to his wife, otherwise he would never have accepted such a thing.
Du Jiujiang sighed, seemed to recall a lot of past events, and nodded: "The Nalan family has been inherited for hundreds of years, and it is understandable to do so. Lou Xiu is a rough man in the mountains, and you, the second lady of the Nalan family, are also a little aggrieved when she marries him as a cow and a horse. ”
Aunt Li looked shy, and seemed to say to herself: "It's enough for him to be good to me, there is nothing wronged or wronged." ”
Du Jiujiang nodded, walked a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said flatly: "There was a poet in the previous dynasty, who once wrote the famous sentence of 'the pearl of the sea and the moon has tears, and the blue field is warm and the jade is smoking', these two sentences are good, their meaning is better, and Niuniu's temperament is also more appropriate, it is better to call it Nalan Nuanyu, how about it?"
Aunt Li's face was full of joy, and she called Niuniu, and the mother and daughter bowed: "Thank you Mr. Du for the name." ”
Niuniu looked at Erdan, opened her oily mouth and asked, "What is the name of Brother Xiang?"
Erdan lay on the bed for a long time, and he heard what he just said clearly, but he didn't take these old things to heart, isn't it just a name, isn't it called?
He got out of bed with his waist propped up, staggered to Du Jiujiang, smiled and pointed to his nose and asked, "Master Du, what is my name?"
Du Jiujiang looked stunned.
The old man's withered face was instantly covered with solemnity.
The curved back gradually straightened.
After a pause, he said in a deep voice:
Your father hopes that your birth will make the world not ignite wolf smoke.
That's why I named you Hua Wuyan.
