Yipin Tianxia

From the month to the mid-autumn equinox.

It is not only rich families who want to enjoy the moon, ordinary people can also buy a few months of cakes, make a pot of tea, and sit together in a small yard with a family reunion, looking up at the moon, which is also a kind of happiness.

After staggering back, before the door knocker was knocked, the daughter-in-law who had been with him for many years heard the footsteps and came out to help her, "How can you eat so much wine? Dad is too, how can there be such a man who pours his son-in-law? They are all old. If you're dead, don't take care of your body."

Although there was anger in the words, there was a hidden joy.The father-in-law who is willing to feed his son-in-law, most of the time he still likes to see him very much.

Ah Shun smiled and put his arms on his wife's shoulders, leaned closer and stretched out three fingers with a low smile, "It's a full thirty catties again, can your father stop feeding me?"

Others don't understand this, but my daughter-in-law understands it as soon as she hears it.

It is a custom in their hometown that if a son-in-law can bring back ten catties of big fish, ten catties of pork and ten catties of good rice during the New Year's Eve, it will be a great event to boast to the neighbors.

However, in the past 20 years, they have never done it once, and they have been told by their father for more than 20 years.

"If you can carry thirty catties back sometime, instead of going to Lao Tzu's place to fight the autumn wind, the sun will probably come out from the west."

……

At that time, the couple could only look at each other speechlessly, bowing their heads in embarrassment.

Both of them are honest people, with stupid mouths, and they can't even say a word to make themselves better.I can only do my best to help the family wash quilts and repair tiles, carry water and chop firewood, and they rush to do any heavy or tiring work, so as to make my heart feel better.

But there are not many opportunities to make my heart feel better.

at that time.They are all rough envoys and servants of an official family, and it is not easy to go out.

Ah Shun is a son of the family, and he came with his wife as a dowry with his parents, and his wife is a girl who came to this house as a small vendor.They are all clumsy and clumsy people, who neither know how to curry favor with others nor flatter them. It was not until they were in their 20s that my father took the half hanging money that he had managed to scrape together, and became the manager of the government.I chose this daughter-in-law for my son.

Although the daughter-in-law is not clever and pretty, she has a real heart. After getting married, Ah Shun is very satisfied, and after having children, she is even more satisfied.

But a few small mouths bring more than laughter.There are also rice vats that are sold faster, and more difficult livelihoods.

With just a few dollars a month, life is already tight, and sometimes the little steward in charge has to rip you off, making life even more difficult.

Parents are getting old, and their errands have been changed in the mansion.Regardless of retirement.The livelihood of the seven members of the family fell on Ah Shun and his wife.

But no matter how hard they try.How is it possible to save money?

As a last resort, Ah Shun could only ask Yue's family.

It stands to reason that if the daughter-in-law is sold, she has nothing to do with her natal family.But the daughter-in-law's natal family is close, and during the ten years before she got married, all the monthly money she saved every month was sent back to help her natal family.Not much though.But over the years, it is also a big subsidy.Coupled with her selling money, the Yue family not only survived the initial difficulties, but also set up a few acres of Susukida during the war, and the family's life was much better than theirs.

So when Ah Shun first came back, his father-in-law didn't say anything, and he helped him.

But no matter how kind of kindness you have, you can't stand asking for it back every now and then.In less than a year, the gossip on my father-in-law's lips gradually increased, and after another year, he had to humble himself and look cold on others.

For this matter, the daughter-in-law cried many times behind her back.

If you add up her selling money and the monthly money of those years, it is not a small sum.It was the first time he was forced hard, and when he said this to his father, the father-in-law still had a guilty expression on his face.

But after talking too much, the father-in-law got angry instead, "I gave birth to you and raised you, so you won't be filial?"

Further back...

Alas, not to mention it.

On the day when his mother finally died, Ah Shun suddenly realized that he would not be sad, but relieved.Without opening your mouth, especially the mouth that needs to take medicine, life will be much less labor-saving?

But when he turned his head, he slapped himself severely, and lay down beside his mother's bed, crying loudly.

How useless must he be to have such a rebellious thought?His mother raised him, but suffered all his life, and left without enjoying half a day of blessings. Is he still worthy of being a son?

……

Then, the capital was in chaos, and I heard that the whole world was also in chaos.But what does it matter to him?He still stayed in that mansion, doing work that he could never finish every day.

But one day, a big change came.

The officers and soldiers rushed to his house suddenly and arrested all the masters and slaves.

Ah Shun didn't do anything to protect the master loyally, because he has been doing rough work in the outer courtyard, and he doesn't even know what his masters look like.It was better to wait until all the people in the mansion were arrested that day before taking a full look.

Before he recognized his familiar face, he hurried to stand with his wife and children when the officers and soldiers were questioning him.

They were put in prison, but those were the happiest few days in Ah Shun's life.

Not working, but having food, where can I find such a good thing?Why can't you move around?Just a few days off.

It's a pity that such a good time only passed two or three months, and their family was sent to the new master's house.

It is said that it is the Duke of the new dynasty. The queen mother rewarded him with a big house and asked people to do rough work.

Ah Shun didn't care about these things, he only thought about whether he could arrange an errand for his wife and his children?The family promised to work hard and never be lazy.

But after hearing what he said, the steward cast a weak glance at him, "What do you mean when you are a government official? If you want to find work, you can do it? If you are lucky enough to be assigned here, you are already a walking dog." Shit is lucky, don't think about something, just stay honest."

Ah Shun was anxious and wanted to say something, but when he saw it, a servant quietly took out a silver bracelet from his sleeve and handed it over. After the whole family had made arrangements, he walked away sadly.

So the days seem to return to the way they were before.No, worse than before.

In the past, because of their parents, their family was divided into two rooms.But now the six people are only divided into one hut.Sweeping such a large yard in the Duke's Mansion every day.Looking at so many empty houses, Ah Shun's nose felt faintly sore.

In order to make ends meet, the daughter-in-law dragged her sick body and went outside to do some laundry work all day. She was fine in spring and summer, but in autumn and winter, she was soaked in cold water all day and coughed day and night.

And his sensible eldest daughter, because there is no one to teach needlework.I can only string beads for others. Poor young age, my back is so bent.

And the two sons are not as mischievous as the children of other families. Since the age of seven or eight, the younger brothers have been carrying big bags and doing coolies on the pier.Without the strength of adults, they carried it away.It made me get knocked here or there every day, and I had to watch people's faces and deduct wages from people.

Every day was like soaking in bitter water. There were many times when Ah Shun really wanted to jump into the lake and forget it.But think about home.Without his monthly salary of [-] wen, it would be even more impossible to live.He didn't dare again.

Until that day, Ah Shun went to the bamboo forest to sweep the floor as usual.Suddenly, someone asked, "Your name is Ah Shun, right?"

This voice was so noble and soft that he had never heard before, Ah Shun turned his head, not knowing God.Finally, when he was 42 years old, he was favored once.

And then.

After that, didn't you earn it all by yourself?

Helped his daughter-in-law to lie down on the bamboo chair, and wiped his face with a wet handkerchief, Ah Shun's mind became clearer.Thinking about the past, I feel a lot of emotion.

Going to Yunling to investigate the past, in order to travel, he was bitten by a poisonous snake, and he almost died of vomiting and diarrhea because of the acclimatization of the water and soil.

No one has asked about these things, and Ah Shun is not a person who will take the initiative to tell others.

He only remembered to do well what the master ordered, and the Duke did not disappoint him.

Before he left, he was given the settlement allowance.When he came back, he was promoted to be a small steward.It's not too delicate work, just take care of the grandpa's going out.

His wages have increased, and his eldest son, Jindou, has also been arranged to be a servant.The daughter learned the craft in a serious manner in the sewing room, and the youngest son Yindou followed the princess as an apprentice in accountancy.

As for his wife, does she still have to work?When I went to old doctor Gao, I didn't spend a penny, and I took medicine for more than a year, and finally slowly recuperated my body.

And the old man wiped his tears and said, "If your mother hadn't left, how about waiting until this day?"

Ah Shun didn't say anything, but rebuilt his mother's grave during the Ching Ming Festival the next year.

Someone said to him, "Based on what you did with the Duke, how did you get this thing? You should go and ask for more benefits."

Asun didn't say anything.

He is an honest man, but not a fool.The Duke is different from other masters. He believes that as long as he does a good job, the Duke will remember it in his heart.

Besides, compared with the past, the life of his family has been turned upside down.Dad often said that one should not be too greedy, and he always kept it in mind.

Then, when his daughter had learned enough needlework, the Lord Tian Guo said to him, "Take your daughter's deed of sale, I have already asked someone to find a matchmaker, and I will give her a good husband's family. Wait until it's settled." , I will pay the dowry."

Sure enough, his daughter later said a very good husband's family.

Uncle is a petty official working in a certain yamen in the capital city. Although he has no official or rank, his family is quite well-educated, the family is harmonious, and life is easy.Although people are a few years older, they really love others, and they don't dislike them as servants.Because of his brains, Ah Shun's family is 120% satisfied with this son-in-law.

When my daughter got married, she had already been treated by the Duke's mansion, and she was much fairer and ruddy. She also learned a lot about raising her eyebrows and lowering her eyes, and dealing with people. Her slightly hunchback gradually straightened up, and she looked decent when she went out up.

Of course, the [-]-year-old dowry she brought out will make her stay straight in her husband's house for the rest of her life.

Ah Shun was so happy, he turned around and took the wedding cake for the master to eat. The Duke ate it with a smile, and asked him how much money he had saved so far and how he planned to spend it.

Ah Shun had no idea. After his daughter got married, it was time to save money for his two sons.

But Grandpa Guo said with a smile, "Didn't I tell you that your three children are on me? You don't have to save the dowry, and use the money to buy a few acres of land in the countryside. It will be good for long-term benefits."

Ah Shun didn't understand these things, but he knew that the master must be doing it for his own good.Then I asked if it could be placed near my father-in-law's house, and then rented to a human race, and someone would take care of it.

The Duke of the country nodded his head in praise.

Ah Shun hurried back to discuss with his daughter-in-law, although he might let his father-in-law's family take advantage.But he took advantage, so he can always contribute something, can't he?

When the father-in-law heard that he was going to buy a field, he immediately looked at him with admiration. He also took the initiative to tell him about the quality of the surrounding fields, and then worked hard to help him buy a few very good fields. A big house was built in the countryside.

With these family backgrounds, some people began to inquire about the situation of his two sons without Ah Shun making a fuss.Want to get married.

The master didn't say a word, no matter who said anything, Ah Shun didn't say a word, just listened.

On a certain day, master, you will already be a prince by then.Then he said to him again, "Your eldest son is like you, honest and honest. To see his wife in the future, he must find someone who can be a housekeeper and has a fair heart. As for your younger son, I heard that there are A bit spiritual, try to let him do some small business in the future. It doesn't matter to find a smarter daughter-in-law, as long as the character is good."

Ah Shun kept it firmly in his heart, and when he heard people talk about it, he gradually got an idea.

Later, good things continued in the house.Of course, the best thing is that the princess is pregnant again!

On the day he heard the news, Ah Shun ran to the temple.I kowtowed to the Bodhisattva a few times, and asked my daughter-in-law to cook some good dishes.Come back with a jug of wine to celebrate.

Others laughed at him, "It's the concubine's happiness, not your daughter-in-law's happiness. What are you happy about? Even if you're happy, you're going to congratulate the prince. What do you mean by running back home to be happy?"

Ah Shun didn't explain to them, and they wouldn't understand.

He only told his master, do you want his wife to serve him?Her health is already much better, she won't be sick, besides, she has raised three children, so she can't do anything else, she can keep an eye on the princess's room, so that no one can make trouble.

The prince nodded and asked his wife to look at the yard.I usually just sweep the floor or something. It’s not a good job, and the salary is not much.

Others laughed at him for being worthless, and for not fighting for a decent job for his wife, but Ah Shun still didn't explain.

Until that day, suddenly the master and son called him into the room, the princess was also there, and the father and daughter looked extremely solemn.Ah Shun took a deep breath, knowing that his time had come.

He didn't need to know why, he just had to write down every word the master ordered with his heart.

Not long after, a hole was dug out under the delivery room prepared by Princess Ping, leading all the way to the rockery behind the yard.

That day, the princess went to see her off, and when she cried so sadly, she didn't even notice that it was Du Chuan's car that the Princess helped her into.Accompanying her in the car was Ah Shun's wife.

And in the car that Ah Shun had been guarding, sat a woman dressed like her.That was none other than Yao Shiyi.Her figure is somewhat similar to Hui Niang's, and if she fills her belly and wears a veiled hat, she can't tell the truth.

Their group still returned to Prince Ping's Mansion.Over there, Du Chuan had taken Hui Niang and Ah Shun's wife to hide in a small inn in a nearby town.

The inn was found by Ah Shun's father-in-law. They are related to each other. The couple are getting older and have no children.Ah Shun agreed to give them his youngest son, and the couple immediately agreed to help without asking any questions.

Anyway, the inn had a lot of people, so it was said that the parents-in-law didn't like it, and they were afraid that they would drown after giving birth to their daughter, so they had to hide outside to give birth.This is so common that no one pays attention at all.

However, Prince Ping's Mansion caused a commotion that night.

The corpse was found by Du Chuan, who gave him a lot of money to buy a male corpse and a pregnant woman who died of dystocia, which happened to be twins.

And the panic-stricken, rushing in and out of Mrs. Wen was also in collusion.According to the original plan, it was Mrs. Wen who failed to deliver the baby. The princess helped King Ping in and "accidentally" knocked over the candle.

And beside the tunnel on the other side of the rockery, Ah Shun and his son Jin Dou had already made preparations, and when King Ping climbed out, they immediately took people away.

But no one expected that the Queen Mother would come.

Then there was Aunt Ruan again, and the chaos was turned upside down.

But Ah Shun really admires his master.

Although he didn't know the reason behind the princess's proposal to set fire, he didn't expect that after the princess left, the master actually set fire and burned himself.

When he crawled out of the hole enduring the severe pain, many places on his face and body were covered with fire blisters, which were scorched black.

Fortunately, afraid of such an accident, he prepared some medicines for scalds, and simply bandaged them, and Ah Shun hurriedly sent King Ping out of the corner gate.Hand it over to the assigned person.

Then, he hurried back to play.

But unexpectedly, the emperor also came.

In the mourning hall, Ah Shun suddenly had an idea and deliberately lifted the quilt. The emperor just took a look and was sure of it.

Then, the whole play went on smoothly, and the Ping Palace held a funeral.And Ah Shun still ran back and forth faithfully.

Later, I heard from my daughter-in-law that King Ping rushed to their inn the next day, and the wounds all over his body were said to be for his daughter-in-law and his parents.Because he was afraid of being suspicious, he did not dare to use scald medicine, which left many scars.

But it's all worth it.After waiting for almost two months, the princess was born safely.

Dr. Wenpo was a reliable person brought by Du Chuan, and they took over a pair of twins smoothly.

Originally, they should leave after raising the full moon, but Ping Wang and his wife were worried about their daughter, so they changed to another place and waited until the princess gave birth safely.It was not until the child was full moon that I went to see him once before I was willing to leave.

There are Du Chuan's friends on the road.There is also the friendship left by Nianfu back then, it is not too difficult to accomplish such a thing.

But Ah Shun didn't know much about these later things, because his wife had already been replaced by that time, and he didn't inquire about it.

Still doing his job honestly, keeping his mouth shut, and doing his duty endlessly.

later.Su Cheng issued good certificates to their family.

But Ah Shun doesn't want it, as long as Prince Ping's Mansion doesn't live in a new owner for a day.He will stay here to guard the house for his master.

So Su Cheng let his two sons go, and left him as a big manager.

Others laughed at him as stupid again, what's the use of a gorgeous mansion without a master?All day long, I can only take care of cleaning, trimming flowers and trees, and providing meals for the guards, and I don't even have a chance to tip.

Ah Shun still didn't tell them.

The marriage of the eldest son of his family has basically been settled, it was mentioned by the master, she can be a girl with a good family and a fair heart.Although the youngest son was sent to the inn as promised, he had agreed with others that when he got married, he would see him together.

Even if he changed his surname, Ah Shun would not be reluctant.

As a slave, if I hadn't met such a good master, I don't know what to worry about now, why are I talking about not having a son?

Looking at his family now, there is a house, land and money, and the children in the family are well arranged.Walking in and out every day, people don't say they look up to them, at least they don't look down on them like they used to.

On New Years and festivals, I can give thirty catties to gag my father-in-law. Ah Shun comfortably leans back on the bamboo chair, looking at the round moon in the sky, and feels that his life has been fulfilled.

Well, maybe, when he gets old, he can still brag to his ignorant grandson. Your grandfather also did great things back then, and even fooled the emperor.

"What are you thinking about? Laughing like this." His wife brought him cold mung bean soup, "Drink a few sips to relieve the alcohol."

Ah Shun picked it up, and suddenly looked at his old-fashioned daughter-in-law and said, "You should also buy some new jewelry in time for the new year, and tidy up when the time comes, and it will be beautiful when you go out to pay New Year's greetings."

The daughter-in-law was a little embarrassed, "At my age, why should I dress up?"

"You only need to dress up when you are old. Look at the old lady at the entrance of the alley. She is old enough to be your mother, and her face is flushed all day long. Tsk tsk, she looks like an old monster."

"Then you still want me to be an old monster?"

"I didn't ask you to put on such a big red face. I only asked you to make a few new clothes and make some new jewelry. Anyway, we are not short of this money now. When we were young, we didn't have money to dress you up. It's not so good now. Old man, let’s do it too. Remember, you must make a pair of big silver bracelets.”

"Hey, I forgot if you didn't tell me. Today is the holiday, and the princess sent us something again. There is a pair of big silver bracelets inside. I'll show you."

"That's different. Rewards are rewarded, and we fight our own. Obedient, go. Hey, what are you laughing at?"

"I think of the time when Ying'er, who lived with me in the original mansion, knew that I promised you, she said, 'If you marry such an honest man, there is nothing to hope for in this life.' I was so angry, but she We were respectable, and I didn't dare to quarrel with her, so I had to hide in bed and cry secretly. Later, those years were not going well, and she did not taunt me less. It's just that we separated later, and I don't know what happened. I fell in love with her, but she married a clever ghost. Unfortunately, she was too clever and had a very unhappy life. Now she envies me and says that I'm a fool. If I get a new suit, How about showing off in front of her?"

"Okay! Let her see the foolishness of us fools, and make her mad."

The couple chatted and laughed, shaking their fans and sitting under the moon to enjoy the cool air.Quietly talking about family financial matters, the two of them felt very good.

The happiness of a fool is as simple as that.
