Chapter 18: Going and Staying
Gan Tang pondered for a while, and then quietly led the girls to the kitchen and asked the cook to cook some meals.
Before the first dish in the kitchen came out, Mama Li came to talk back to Gan Tang, and Second Uncle Gan and the people he brought were gone.
And the Qi prosecutor who was called back by his eldest cousin Bian Xichuan and one of his sons are relatives, and the Qi prosecutor angrily scolded the erector on the spot, insulting Sven, and went home with his relatives' ears and frowns.
General Fan is still like a nobody, chatting with his fourth uncle and eldest cousin, but he is also ready to leave.
In the end, the kitchen can now put a break in the cooking process.
Then, the fourth uncle and the eldest cousin summoned Gan Tang to find her to continue talking.
Gan Tang was stunned, before the second uncle Gan came, she begged the fourth uncle and eldest cousin to write a letter to her grandparents, why did she still make a posture of three sessions to talk to her.
"Let's talk about it, when and what method was used to invite General Fan and the Qi Procuratorate, and you are not afraid that people will talk about the ugliness of the Gan family and affect your reputation in Yan Long in the future?" As soon as Gan Tang saw the fourth uncle and eldest cousin, before he even smiled out, the fourth uncle had already asked about Gan Tang with a serious face.
Gan Tang understood, and without thinking about it, he decided to answer honestly, "It was Lu Shizi who recommended someone to me, called Boss Zhai." ”
"That's what you believe in him." Listen carefully, there is a hint of sourness in the stern tone.
Gan Tang thought about it carefully before answering, "Fourth uncle, eldest cousin, what Lu Shizi said makes sense, so I listened to him." ”
The fourth uncle didn't know whether to be angry or laugh, "You tell me what the Lu family kid said, and you are not afraid of being deceived." ”
"He told me that I have no connections in Yanlong, and my second uncle has deep roots in Yanlong, if the Gan family is looking for trouble, I have to pay a lot to solve it, and he won't harm me, so what can I not use for the people he recommends." Given that Gan Tang had already been relieved by the fourth uncle and eldest cousin at noon, she was quite casual when she mentioned Lu Xun to the two of them.
"Fourth uncle, don't scare Tang'er anymore, obviously you also sent someone to find the person who recommended you to the head of the Gan family before you met him, so that he could pay attention to the movements outside, and now train Tang'er to come one by one." The eldest cousin ruthlessly dismantled the fourth uncle.
The fourth uncle's momentum suddenly shortened.
Gan Tang was surprised, her heart was a mess, she didn't know about Lu Xun's recent situation, but he said more than once that he was not in Yan Long recently, and he thought that he was also because it was the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet yesterday, and he was able to enter the palace to see the deposed crown prince, so he rushed back from outside.
He had a lot of business to do, but he still found time to arrange her affairs.
"You, your son-in-law, are you going to marry your sister and not your brother-in-law, you are not good as a brother to go to the school to take the school and the future brother-in-law, but speak for others and take advantage of others, right? Let's see if I will talk to your grandfather after I return to Xichuan. "If the fourth uncle hadn't grown a beard, he would have been blowing his beard and staring at him now.
"Fourth uncle, eldest cousin, no matter what, we have used someone else's people, we have to thank you, this matter is all decided by the fourth uncle." Gan Tang took a step back to make the fourth uncle less angry.
The fourth uncle glared at Gan Tang again, and the inexplicable emotions that came were obviously not dissipated, but seeing that Gan Tang had a tender and distracted face, he sighed and threw up his sleeves and left the main hall.
After the fourth uncle left, the eldest cousin continued to act as an explainer, "Tang'er, the fourth uncle is more and more fond of research, but he is reluctant to marry you far away, and he is angry with himself." ”
Because the Bian family drew lots that year, the fourth uncle was not on the battlefield, so he received a clerical job, he was busy before and after the war, and he was free on weekdays, so in the past few years that Gan Tang was in Xichuan, the men in the family got along with Gan Tang the most with the fourth uncle.
When Gan Tang was a little one, he dreamed of his father, and the fourth uncle didn't hear it, and when he felt particularly sorry for Gan Tang, he also cried quietly, his uncle was also a father, and he himself had no daughter, so after becoming more and more sure that Gan Tang would marry into the Lu family, he was reluctant to give birth to an old father.
"Big cousin, I know that the fourth uncle loves me, do you say that the grandfather will depend on me? I ......"
What I didn't say was that I really liked Lu Jialangjun who would think about me, worry about what I was anxious about, and worry about what I was worried about.
Gan Tang was really moved by Lu Xun's move to arrange manpower for her in his busy schedule.
The eldest cousin poked Gan Tang lightly, and then stared at her with disdain, as if to say, what is the little girl talking about. Sure enough, after a while, the eldest cousin expressed his opinion on Gan Tang, "Your grandfather can't do anything about you, if he is really so ruthless, do you think that you can move your grandfather to let you come to Xichuan in a few words at home?" ”
"It's just that at the beginning, grandpa's idea was to let you see the true face of Jiuyi, let you die and go home honestly, and now, my cousin will truthfully tell grandpa what the son of the Lu family has done,"
Gan Tang inexplicably heard a sense of gloom and compassion, she hurriedly said, "Big cousin, the military general also has to tell the truth, Wenchen said a sentence to be decorated with a lot of words, and he can't talk about the topic at all, the military general has not been like this for a long time." ”
"Go back to the house and embroider." The big cousin drove people.
……
After half a month, I was able to get in touch with the environment of Gantang's circle, and I didn't hear half a sentence of Uncle Gan's coming to Bian's Mansion to make trouble, but everyone was talking about it, and after the Qi Procuratorate took his junior home with his ears in a certain place one day, he locked people in the firewood room.
Prosecutor Qi asked the junior to prepare a book case in the firewood room, and ordered him to recite a certain sutra in as many days, if he couldn't memorize it, he would only give a nest head a day, and if he memorized it, he would be given a soft bed.
When Gan Tang listened to the news of the Yan Long family, he was packing the luggage of his fourth uncle and eldest cousin.
It was also a matter of the past two days, Gan Tang's grandfather replied, he scolded his nephew and grandson in the letter, and only said in the last line that since he would not withdraw from the marriage, he would bring Gan Tang back, and wait for the Lu family to get married in Yanlong after the current incident.
This time, Gan Tang came up with a different idea.
On the day she received her grandfather's letter, she said, "Fourth uncle, I will join the Lu family as the heir of the long house in the future, and I can't stay in Yanlong all the time, it all depends on Lu Xun's help, no matter when the Lu family comes to hire, I want to stay in Yanlong and take good care of the family wealth left by my father's eldest brother." ”
At that time, Gan's father was the eldest son of the Gan family, and after the death of the old lady, he naturally inherited the position of the patriarch of the clan, and owned most of the Gan's family wealth.
Nowadays, the only property that a girl can have is the dowry prepared for her by the head of the family, and the rest of the family property cannot be divided at all.
When Gan Tang was more than ten years old, he could already take it out to see each other, and Gan's father and Gan's mother also prepared a rich dowry for her, just because Gan Tang was still young at that time, and a portion of her dowry did not leave a list, and the second uncle Gan, who was about to inherit the Gan family, wanted to grab something that belonged to Gan Tang.
Later, my grandmother came to Yan Long for the funeral, and the second uncle Gan argued with reason, and the last document demarcated the Gan family's ancestral property Gantang is not a penny, but it belongs to the dowry of Gantang's mother, Gan's father's private property, Gan's eldest brother's private property, and the rewards of Gantang and his mother's entry into the palace are all returned to Gantang.
At that time, the paper document also said that before Gan Tang got married, the property belonging to Gan Tang was taken care of by the elders of the Gan family, and the income was sent to Xichuan every year, and after Gan Tang got married, Gan Tang himself took care of it.
Gan Tang is now getting married, and she knows that it is time for her to take care of these things.
Gan Tang was reasonable, the fourth uncle and the eldest cousin couldn't refuse, but the fourth uncle was in a bad mood that night, and when he withdrew the meal, the fourth uncle muttered unhappily, "The little girl has no conscience, she is going to get married, and she doesn't cherish the last time she gets along with her family." ”
Gan Tang felt uncomfortable when she heard it, she liked Lu Xun, so she took the initiative in marrying someone, she didn't react to marrying someone after a bunch of things before, after the palm of the family was fed, there were endless things to do every day, Xichuan was far away from Yan Long, and it would be difficult to see her grandfather and them in the future, and she had no demeanor of crying on the spot.
This scared the fourth uncle stupidly, he hurriedly coaxed, "Tang'er, the fourth uncle is not angry with you, the fourth uncle is reluctant to you, the family has only been together with your four or five cousins for so many years, and you are the farthest one to marry, if you suffer a loss in the future, we can't reach it." ”
"Fourth uncle, I will live a good life in the future, and I will make you proud." Gan Tang cried, at this moment, her tone was far away, she seemed to be promising her fourth uncle in front of her that she would live a good life, and as if she was telling her future self to live a good life in the future.
That night, the three uncles, nephews, and cousins cried happily, and then Gan Tang began to pack the luggage for the fourth uncle and eldest cousin.
On September 17, the fourth uncle and eldest cousin set off for Xichuan.
Gantang was sent all the way to the Fifty Mile Station.
When he was about to return to the city, in front of Gantang's carriage, there was a boo from the command horse.
Gan Tang heard the voice of the owner, lifted the curtain, and saw that it was Lu Xun, she asked, "You're back." ”
"Tang'er is not leaving?"
The two spoke in unison, although the words were different, but they were in the same mood, and they were both happy from the bottom of their hearts.
"I'm back." He replied.
"Don't go." She replied.
Now that the carriage is slow, the transmission of information is not fast, Rao is Lu Xun deliberately paid attention to what happened to Gan Tang in Yanlong, and he couldn't do everything.
For example, he didn't know that the fourth uncle and eldest cousin would go back to Xichuan today, and Gan Tang would not go back together.
He finally finished the business in hand, and when he hurried back, he didn't look forward to it in his heart, and after returning to Yanlong, he could still see Gan Tang.
But he didn't expect that Gan Tang would not leave.
"Thank you Tang'er, thank you Tang'er." Lu Xun turned over and dismounted, came to the window, put his hand on the window edge, and spoke incoherently excitedly.
Lu Xun's movements were too sudden, Gan Tang didn't expect him to suddenly be only half a step away from her, and his body froze unnaturally.
The four girls around her laughed lowly, and she came back to her senses.
