Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 25 An Daling's Flesh and Flesh Talks to Tianlun, Tong Ruren's Aunt and Daughter-in-Law, Zhu Xianv (2)
Mrs. An was looking forward to it, and she was promoted back and forth: "Mrs. Zhang and Miss Zhang are here." Mrs. An hurriedly helped people to welcome them out.Mrs. Zhang entered the courtyard early, and saw him wearing a new red and green cloth jacket, holding a cigarette pouch in his left hand, and a ball of blue silk in his right hand.Jin Sheng's family followed, afraid of making a mistake again, stepped forward and said, "This is our wife." Mrs. An hurried over, holding hands.Mrs. Zhang occupied both hands, so she had to stretch out the hand holding the silk with two fingers, and took Mrs. An's hand, trembling, and said, "Okay, ma'am!" Mrs. An said : "Don't call me that, I'm older than me, so I should be called my younger sister." Mrs. Zhang said: "I'm young, I belong to Xiaolonger, and I'm 52 years old."

Although Mrs. An talked to Mrs. Zhang, her eyes had already focused on Miss Zhang.

I saw him with unfurled brows, a gentle demeanor, peach blossoms on his cheeks, and cherry blossoms on his lips; a pair of sharp hands and a pair of small cocoa feet;Suiyuan's daughter-in-law followed behind his mother with half support and half pull.Seeing Mrs. an, he lowered his hands and said two blessings in a peaceful and peaceful manner.Mrs. An quickly grabbed him and asked about the wind and frost all the way.Hearing him speak with a foreign accent, but he was neither shy nor shy, Mrs. An was somewhat willing in her heart.Only then did he turn around and let Mrs. Zhang go.At first glance, Mrs. Zhang has already proudly climbed the steps and entered the house.Mrs. An asked Miss Zhang again.Seeing his wife's gentleness and kindness at this time, he already recognized this mother-in-law in his heart, so where would he go first?Mrs. An pulled him and said, "Let's go, girls." When he reached the door, he let his wife go in first.

For a while, Mrs. An and Mrs. Zhang sat down separately, and the maid served tea.Mrs. an asked Miss Zhang to sit in the pit.He only heard him reply in a low voice: "I dare not. I, Zhang Jinfeng, accompanied my parents to escort the young master here. I originally said that I would do some sewing for my wife, or give instructions. How dare you sit down because of your status and status in the future." At the words, Mrs. An was in pain, and she couldn't help yelling at him: "My son, you must not do this! You are in the temple with the one of our two families. I fully understand what the benefactor and matchmaker said. Listen to me and tell you, not only is his kindness undeniable, but even if I meet a person like you for nothing, I am willing to make this kind of marriage. Don't worry!" When Miss Zhang heard this, a stone fell to the ground in her heart.

Mrs. an said, and called again: "Where is Yuge?" The young master agreed to come in.Mrs. An said: "I think about this matter carefully. What your daughter-in-law said just now is because you resigned in the temple that day, and he had to stand as a girl. You resigned because you never told me and your father, no Dare to be independent, you have to follow the principles of the Son of Man. Although I have never returned to your father now, I can make most of my decisions after seeing me. What is the reason? First, listening to the situation on the road, his heart and character , there is nothing to talk about; judging from this appearance, I am afraid that such a daughter-in-law will not be found even if I hold a lantern. As for the story of the rich and the poor, it is not what we scholarly people talk about; I have seen how many people, Because you are comparing the rich and the poor, and what kind of concubine, you have missed a big deal. You don’t need to discuss this. I see your expression, and you don’t want to. I reckon that your father will also be willing. How can this be so? ?Do you still remember that when you left Beijing, your father said: "As long as you have a child with a dignified appearance, a virtuous temperament, a well-managed family, and a hard-working child, even those in Nanshan and Beicun will be good." It seems With today's situation, isn't this a pre-determined marriage! Let's make a deal today, and there is no need to discuss it any further." When Miss Zhang heard this, two stones fell from her heart.

Mrs. An turned around and asked Mrs. Zhang: "Old sister, do you think what I said?" Mrs. Zhang said: "We are country folks, and we climb high. It's not strange, but what are we talking about?" My girl is not weak at the head of ten, my wife, you always look back, you have heard about it!" Mrs. An agreed with a smile, and then asked the young master: "You are in a hurry on the road, of course you will I never made a decision. The child is so wronged, I will make up the next ceremony today." As he said, he took off a wild goose hairpin with gold dots and emeralds embedded with precious pearls on his head, and gave it to Zhang The girl put it on the pig and said: "The first thing is to persuade your son-in-law to study and improve, and get his name on the Wild Goose Pagoda early." She returned and took off a pair of gold bracelets on her wrist, put them on for him, and circled her mouth The size is just right, and she said: "It's a combination of both." At this time, Miss Zhang's heart fell to the ground!

Bring the hairpins and bracelets before bowing down. Mrs. An stopped her and said, "Don't ask for these things. Today is a good day, so you should recognize your mother-in-law first, and we girls will live together every day. Otherwise, you can call me What! As for you kowtowing to make a big gift, you have to wait for your father-in-law to come out and choose an auspicious time to do it. This big show is unmissable." At present, there are servants and maids who have laid out red blankets, and they are still promoted, resigned The daughter-in-law supported the girl, then put candles on the red felt and bowed four times.Mrs. An then sat down and accepted the ceremony, and said, "Help your grandma, and save the auspicious words when you kowtow." Miss Zhang kowtowed, filled a bag of cigarettes, and gave it to her mother-in-law. hand it over.Mrs. Zhang was happy, she opened her mouth and couldn't close it, and said, "My wife, I think you all have big pan heads and high soles here. My girl doesn't dress casually, and I don't care if I don't." Should he let his feet go?" Mrs. An quickly waved her hands and said, "No, although we are Han army bannermen, most of the garrison residents have Han clothes, and even among our current relatives, there are several feet bound. "

It turned out that when Miss Zhang saw her mother-in-law's attire, she was afraid that she would have to change it too. After this change, she would not be able to walk up with her feet scrambling. Now hearing this, she is relieved.

Mr. An, however, has a common sense, thinking that in ancient times there was no foot binding, and since the Middle Ages, it has been used for a long time, and if it was changed for a while, it would not be as good as the original appearance.It was even more joyful to hear my mother say so.In the outer room, he drank a bowl of hot tea and grinned uncontrollably with his teeth bared.A group of old people from Jin Sheng's family and Liang Cai's family came to tease him, saying: "What a beautiful grandma! Uncle still remembers when he saw a little daughter-in-law when he was young, he blushed first? Why aren't you ashamed now?" The young master smiled and said: "You don't have to tease me! Let me drink a bowl of hot tea." The Jinsheng family said: "My little master! Isn't that in your hand called hot tea? We're so confused. Already?" Everyone who said that laughed, and the young master couldn't help laughing too.

While it was busy, the family members outside brought the money and luggage together and explained clearly.The car and livestock were handed over to the store to take care of and feed them.The promotion has tidied up two clean shop rooms on the front floor, preparing for Mr. Zhang's family to live in.After the luggage was delivered, Mr. Zhang's family came over, and Mrs. An hurriedly called for him.Invited to come in, I saw that he was wearing a gray coarse cloth jacket with socks, a new azurite fine cloth jacket, and a moon white cloth bag. It was a felt hat and borrowed a piece from the shopkeeper. Lift the beams and autumn hats high.

When I met Mrs. an, I made a bow.Mrs. An didn't know how to perform Han etiquette, so she had to touch her head and answer with flag salute.After entering the room and sitting down, after tea, Mrs. An thanked her for taking care of her all the way, and told her what she had just said.The in-law's master also said a few modest words in a dutiful manner, and then instructed his daughter.Although it has a country flavor, it is much more timid than that in-law wife.After sitting for a while, he said goodbye and went to sit outside.Mrs. An said again: "The two of you in-laws simply wait for the silence to stop before talking." The old man agreed and stood up.Only then did Mr. An dare to meet his father and ask his mother for advice.Mrs. An also taught him how to explain it one by one.Here I was urging to prepare meals for my wife.

The book does not show the things here.But it's been almost a month since master an lived in this land temple.The silver limit is tight, and the subordinates have collected less than a thousand gold.I have sent a letter to Scholar Wu asking for help, but there has been no response so far.It will take two months for Liang Cai to go to Beijing and back and forth, and I don't know if it will be successful or not?The first ten days of September is approaching now, and it is the time for the announcement of the rankings. I wonder if the young master's three poems and essays may be in his sights?What's even more strange is that I haven't received letters from my family for a long time, and I don't know the recent situation at home. Did the young master leave immediately after he appeared on the stage, or did he never go on the road?What's more, although there are a few friends here to talk to, they are not common in this county government, and only Cheng Xianggong is with him to talk with, but he is not very familiar.Rainy evening, windy morning, very bored and tired.

After dinner that day, I was taking a copy of "Book of Changes" to break my boredom there, only listening to the voices of people outside the wall, as if there was a visitor.Just about to ask, Sui Yuan'er ran in in a panic and said, "Master slave is here." The master couldn't help being taken aback.Said, the young master has already entered the door, please go down, get up and take two steps, kneel in front of the master's knees, help his legs, and want to cry.Mr. An was in a state of dissatisfaction, and when father and son met in different places, he couldn't help crying.It's just that the strict father and loving mother are in different places, so they are not like the wife.

While nodding, he pulled up the young master and said, "What are you doing out here?" Because he probably asked who was following him, and what happened along the way, he immediately asked, "Aren't you going to end?"
