Chapter 4 4, Departure

Qingdai's favorite place since she was able to open her legs is Sun Zhangyang's study room. When there are people, she grabs a brush and scribbles. When there is no one, she eagerly reads the books, so that she can understand the world more clearly.She looked through the history books of the past dynasties when no one was around. Fortunately, the dynasties and dynasties are still the same as what she learned in the twentieth century.But she managed to find a copy of "National History", but it only recorded the Taizu Dynasty of this dynasty, but not in recent years.Qing Dai couldn't help feeling a little frustrated.

Finally, she listened to the occasional words of her father and mother, and heard that the "Battle of Jingnan" also appeared in this time and space, but the father was vague, Qing Dai just felt that it seemed to be the same as the Jingnan she knew. There are some changes in the difficult battle, but firstly, the father is not in the officialdom, so he can't get too much inside information, and secondly, he won't talk too much about these important court affairs with the housewife, so Qingdai's knowledge is very limited.

Fortunately, one day a guest came to visit, and it happened that Qingdai was sitting on her father's large pear book case, drawing talismans. Because of her young age, her father and the guest did not avoid talking to her, but she listened to her.

Sure enough, history starts here slightly differently.Although the outcome of the Jingnan Battle more than ten years ago was the same as the historical trajectory, the cause was a subtle change.In this world, in the 23rd year of Hongwu, Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang abolished the emperor's grandson Zhu Yunqi on the grounds that he was weak and sick, and replaced the mighty Yan Wang Zhu Di as the prince.As a result, Zhu Yunqi took advantage of Zhu Di's order to patrol the border and rebelled. Taizu died suddenly, and the Jingnan campaign began.Here, the pros and cons happened to be reversed. Although Zhu Yunqi still couldn't change his fate of failure, he lost his title of righteousness and completely transformed into a rebellious minister and rebellious party.

History seems to have turned a corner here, and Qing Dai doesn't know if this is affected by the turbulence of time and space.Since the history that has happened has changed, it is even more unknown how it will change.Qingdai also gave up the idea of ​​relying on her "prophet" to be a half-immortal who can point out the country, and she would not be the only one who died if she hugged the wrong thigh.It's still An An's life to be a rich man. Anyway, the family is not short of money, and is not busy. When he grows up, he will wander around the world. Well, how beautiful such a small life should be.Thinking about the beauty, Qing Dai laughed out loud.

The family members began to find it ridiculous to draw cat-like indigo in the study room, thinking that she was just a novelty discovered at the moment. Later, when they found that she could often stay in the study room for half a day and enjoy playing alone, they felt incredible .Seeing that she is obedient and not mischievous, let her go.

Qing Dai originally planned to be an obedient rich girl and spend her life leisurely, thinking that her father's wealth is enough for her and her sister to spend a few lifetimes comfortably.Why bother to bother, to be a quiet rice worm has become Qingdai's happiest ideal.

However, most of the things in the world can only be thought of when they cannot be obtained. Since it is an ideal, it is often far from the reality, and there are not many things that can be realized.So before Qing Dai could plan her happy life of Michong, two consecutive events broke her dream.

This day has already entered the twelfth lunar month, and everyone in the Sun residence is busy cleaning the court and preparing the festival and New Year's goods.

Sun Zhangyang was reconciling accounts with a group of big stewards in the outer study, when the steward at the door hurriedly lifted the curtain and came in to report: "Master, my aunt is back."

Sun Zhangyang didn't hear clearly, and casually sent: "Auntie's house has someone come to give you a gift? Let Laifu go out so that he can continue."

The steward at the door said anxiously: "It's not a boxing gift! It's my aunt who brought Miss Cousin back together!"

Sun Zhangyang was taken aback: "Auntie came in person?"

How can anyone go back to their mother's house in this big twelfth lunar month?However, he couldn't care about it at this time, Sun Zhangyang hurriedly ordered: "Have you reported the letter to Madam? Hurry up and let her bring the two young ladies out to meet you!" He hurriedly adjusted his clothes and went out to meet him.

No wonder Sun Zhangyang was so serious about it, it was because this aunt Lin Sun was his only direct aunt.Back then, she married the youngest son of Yangzhou Tongzhi with a lot of red make-up, and she was really a high-ranking married man. That uncle of the Lin family was able to study hard and passed the Tong Jinshi exam early. After all, he was born on the right path.The Lin family used money from top to bottom to find him a county magistrate in a land of plenty, and Aunt Lin followed him a long way to take up the post.

After all, this uncle of the Lin family is a young Jinshi, so young people naturally have to be romantic.High-spirited, suave and suave, her whole body is so full of romance that it is about to overflow.Over the years, confidante, concubine, brothel fan... turned out to be seeing one and loving the other, and loving the other and marrying the other; the house was full of beauties, and there were groups of concubines and concubines.

He still respects Aunt Lin, because these concubines still ask Aunt Lin to provide dowry money to supplement them.His salary alone is not enough for this big family to drink clean water.

Aunt Lin has been exhausted all these years, because she has never given birth to a girl until the eighth year of her marriage. The dowry money spends a lot of money.

Since then, more than ten years have passed, Mr. Lin was exhausted in the wind, and died in the belly of a new concubine in an instant.After the funeral, Aunt Lin's dowry was completely spent and the river dried up.I and my daughter have lost their livelihood, so how can I care about those concubines and concubine children?He simply kept doing nothing, packed up those concubines and sold them to the brothel, took the money, and took his daughter back to her natal home.As for those concubine children, who cares about their life and death.

Sun Zhangyang and his wife greeted them outside the door, only to see a dilapidated green cloth donkey cart parked alone outside the door, and only one driver was squatting at the base of the wall, smoking dry cigarettes.Seeing people coming out of the Sun residence, the curtain of the car door was lifted, and a girl helped a woman out of the car.Both of them had green cloth baotou and were completely plain, with only a small parcel in their hands.The woman was about 40 to [-] years old. Although there were some wrinkles on her face, she could still see some of her youthful charm.Needless to say, it was Aunt Lin.The girl has a graceful figure and a haggard face, but she can't hide her willow eyebrows and almond eyes, her appearance is more delicate than that of a flower.But it is slightly better than his mother's appearance, probably because he inherited Uncle Lin's appearance.She was Aunt Lin's only daughter, cousin Lin Ruyu.

When the woman saw Sun Changyang, she rushed forward and hugged her, crying loudly: "Your high official, I really want to kill my aunt!"

Sun Changyang and his wife felt sour when they saw the coldness of Aunt Lin's mother and daughter. After all, they are the aunts of the first line, and it is really sympathetic to fall into this situation.

After a lot of consolation, everyone finally stopped crying and paid the driver's foot money before inviting them into the inner house. Mother Fan had already taken advantage of this time to find out the two sets of clothes that Hai Yunzhu had prepared for the old lady Hai. Bring Hai Yunzhu's own two sets of plainer new clothes, and assign two little maids to take care of Aunt Lin, mother and daughter to bathe and change clothes, and then meet in the main room.

After freshening up, Aunt Lin, mother and daughter washed off the dust all over their faces and changed into new clothes. They finally looked more lively, and they were no longer so haggard and lifeless.Aunt Lin saw Zhanyi and Qingdai with a smile on their faces, but she groped all over without taking out a gift.His face was flushed with embarrassment, tears fell instantly, and he covered his face and wept, "My eldest nephew, my nephew's daughter-in-law, I am making you laugh, my aunt is really at the end of her rope. If it wasn't for your sister who was helpless, my aunt would be I'd rather die than fall into this situation."

Cousin Lin couldn't help crying like rain, she hugged her mother and cried bitterly: "Mother, you can't leave your daughter behind! Your daughter is the only family member, woo woo."

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried, and Sun Zhangyang and his wife also felt sad.Li Haizhu wiped away tears with a handkerchief, stepped forward to separate the two, and comforted him: "We are close relatives, why should my aunt and sister bother about these vain gifts? This is my aunt's family, and the official is your nephew. Come back immediately." , this is the aunt, you and your sister can rely on. Don't worry, if there are officials and I eat, you and your sister will not be hungry."

Sun Zhangyang personally stepped forward and helped Aunt Lin to the upper seat and sat down: "Auntie, why are you so polite to your nephew? I remember when I was naughty and didn't study when I was a child, my aunt used to discipline me a lot! Now that my aunt is back home, It's time for my nephew to respect and respect you. Besides, since the death of my parents, there is no old man in this house to help with the management. Only Haizhu and I have to deal with it. Haizhu's body is weak, and it is also difficult to manage the house , it just so happens that my aunt is here, and I need my aunt to take care of everyone in this family. Don't worry, this is your home, not only you, but also my sister's life-long event, with me and her sister-in-law, also have to It's done to your satisfaction."

The words of the husband and wife finally made Aunt Lin's mother and daughter feel at ease, and their smiles brightened uncontrollably.Aunt Lin laughed from the bottom of her heart: "Don't worry about this nephew. If you say that other aunts can't help you, they are just housekeepers. Don't talk about others, even your sister, who has been in charge of the house with me since childhood. You Although you can take care of our family's business with peace of mind, there is nothing wrong with my aunt's presence!"
