732 A Jar of Daughter Red in Front of the Monument (Second Watch)
Taifu looked at the chess game that seemed to have come out of the predicament, and nodded secretly, "Let's go." Come with me for a walk...... Look at him. I should tell the old man that he and I should tell you...... Married family. ”
Gu Ci put the chess pieces in his hand back into the box and got up to help Taifu.
The old man, who is still in good spirits on weekdays, has a lot of emotion when he talks about the past, and the whole person feels a little more old at this time. He took the crutches handed over by Uncle Lin, and walked very slowly step by step, "At that time, he always said that he wanted to be my in-laws, and he made a fuss every day that he wanted me to have another daughter...... Your grandfather always wanted your grandmother to have a daughter so that she could marry into my family. Unfortunately...... It didn't work out. ”
"I always think of him these days...... I thought I should go and see him today anyway. ”
General Fu Lao loved freedom all his life, but he didn't like the days of following the rules, and he said before his death that the tomb should be built on the top of a high mountain, so that he could see all living beings every day, which is also excellent. It's just that he died on the battlefield, and he couldn't tell who was who in the sea of corpses and blood, and he couldn't even find a piece of corpse bones, and now what he can worship is only his clothes and mounds.
got into the carriage, waited for the old man to sit, the soft pillows and cushions were all prepared, and he poured tea and handed it over, and was silent from beginning to end without speaking.
"The past is gone" is only a superficial relief, too despised of those precious hearts. What I can do at this moment may be to listen quietly, listen to those heavy pasts, and listen to those heavy feelings.
"Your father...... It's not a big thing to do. Taifu smiled, his smile was a little tired, "I also joked with the old man of the Xie family, saying that I was lucky to give birth to you, otherwise...... Lao Xie and I are afraid that we will have to think of a step-son in the past, lest this Fu family be defeated early by your unsuccessful father, and when the time comes, we will go underground, so we can have an explanation. Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll blame the two of us for not taking good care of his descendants......"
"Now...... I can finally explain it......"
Taifu leaned against the wall of the carriage, closed his eyes and rested, and did not speak again all the way. Gu Ci didn't make a sound to disturb, he saw that Taifu's eyes were a little blue, and he knew that it was obviously a phenomenon that he hadn't slept well for many days.
Taifu attaches great importance to health, and goes to bed early and sleeps well on weekdays, which is rarely the case.
It wasn't until he arrived at the place where he was clothed and saw another figure in front of the monument that Gu Ci understood...... The old man asked Uncle Lin to pick him up early this morning, not purely for the sake of staying overnight, Taifu had planned to make an appointment with Xie Lao to worship his grandfather.
This is what Taifu said, "Explain and explain".
Xie Lao brought wine, and his daughter was red, standing in front of the monument.
There is no word on the tombstone.
Grandmother said that my grandfather loved his daughter Red the most during his lifetime. My grandfather didn't drink alcohol, but the army traveled to fight, and there were scorching heat and cold, and since then he has fallen into some diseases, and every time it is wet and rainy, he will get sick. When Xie Lao heard about it, he taught him to drink, and the first sip of wine at that time was poured by Xie Lao for him, and his daughter was red.
"Here we go!" Old Man Xie turned his head to see the person coming, beckoned, and pointed to the wine that had been poured on the side, "It's just right, the wine has just been poured, it's long, this jar is mellow?" ”
As he spoke, he picked up the first cup and slowly poured it on the ground. After pouring, he held the wine glass and chuckled at the monument, "Old man...... Your grandson is getting married! So, before the wedding, let's take a few old guys, bring your grandson, and come over to take a look at you......"
He paused, as if waiting for the other party to speak, and waited for a while before he said, "Which grandson do you ask?" Hey, which more do you want? Those crooked melons and jujubes, still thinking about the old man, I will help you take care of it? …… Think beautifully! ”
Gu Ci lit the incense, completed the etiquette, inserted the incense into the incense burner on the side, bowed his head and called, "Grandfather." The grandson is not filial and is late. ”
He rarely comes, and only once a year during the sacrifice.
Earlier, I came every year, but then I went on an expedition, so naturally I couldn't come. Later, I recuperated in a small building in the middle of the lake, and my body was really poor in the first year, and I spent more time asleep than I was awake.
Later, he came secretly at night, for fear that the emperor would find out that his condition was "very good".
It was many years ago that I came to worship in such a serious way.
Taifu rarely drinks alcohol, and even at state banquets, he only drinks tea.
Now holding his daughter red, he sipped it one by one, and raised his glass to the monument when he heard the words, and smiled Lang Lang, "How?" The grandson I taught you for you, old man, is the only one in the whole Dacheng! Now, I'm going to become the grandson-in-law of the old man...... Although, I still feel a little unworthy of my granddaughter, but ...... It's also a tall one among the short, barely strong! ”
"Huh!" Old Xie sneered and scolded him, "This world can be worthy of your precious granddaughter, she hasn't been born yet, right?" ”
"No!"
"Heh......" Old Man Xie really couldn't look at it, took his own wine, drank it all, the wine glass rested heavily in front of the monument, and directly held the wine jar and poured another sip, very bold and relieved, praise, "I haven't drunk like this for many years!" Carefree! Old man...... It's still a good day to drink and eat meat with you! Long ...... I've almost forgotten it...... Oh, it's what I'm going to say. This child begged to come to my door, all these years, I didn't care about anything, but thinking about you all those years, I always had to be my family at the same time...... I don't know where you got this idea, it's not good to be in-laws with my Xie family? ”
Taifu sneered, "It's not good." ”
"Shut up!"
Xie Lao turned around and scolded, and sighed after scolding, "You are like this, and so is this kid of yours...... In short, now, your in-laws, I am talking about it for you. You Fu family, I am optimistic about you...... We two old men are also old...... I'm afraid I'm going to see you in a few years. So take this opportunity to come and see you...... Tell you, let's go down, let's ...... can be regarded as explaining. ”
As he spoke, he raised his head and took another sip of wine.
The cool breeze in the forest is gusting, the leaves rustling, and the cicadas chirping, quiet and lively.
In previous years, when he came to visit his grandfather, Gu Ci rarely met other people. Only once did I see a back, rickety, very old. But I didn't see who it was for a while. Even at that time, he once sighed that in this world, people's hearts are changeable, and people take tea and cool ......
Now I know that some thoughts and memories are not sacrificed year after year.
He turned around slowly, facing the wordless tombstone and the second elder, and shook it to the end.
