Lucky not to forget

Chapter 103
My aunt's surname was Gu, beautiful in appearance, humble in nature, and good at playing. She was born as an actor, and she was famous in the south of the Yangtze River for her song "Sunny Sky" when she was Jiji.I don't even remember her sitting on the rockery in the garden and playing the pipa, with her hair held high in her bun, her left hand supporting the pipa, her wide sleeves hanging down, revealing a snow-white and plump arm. Sassy, ​​that beauty is unforgettable.

Looking at today, sitting on the twig, he is small and thin, wearing coarse cloth, looks haggard, and his hair is also gray. When talking to his aunt, he leans forward humblely. He is no longer lonely and lofty as before, and the slightest noise is like a frightened bird. Generally speaking, I heard that the butcher has a bad temper and beats her at every turn, and the eldest wife in the family is very powerful, and pain of flesh and blood is a common occurrence. I really don't know how she has survived the past ten years, but I hope she has called Auntie, and she has already cried flow all over the face.

Mrs. Gu turned to look, maybe her eyesight was weak, she squinted her eyes for a long time before hesitating and asked, "But sister Chun?"

On the side Zhang said, "Sister Gu, it is Chun Jun who has returned."

Mrs. Gu came up to her, held her hand tremblingly, looked at her protruding belly, nodded and said, "Very good, our sister and son are going to be mothers, life flies so fast... 12 years !"

"No, it's been 12 years." Mrs. Zhang replied, and the three of them sighed and couldn't help crying. After crying for a while, Mrs. Zhang woke up and said hurriedly, "This is a happy thing. Don't cry, my sister is pregnant, I can't cry, it will make my uncle feel distressed when he sees it."

Seeing no one outside, Mrs. Gu said, "Isn't my uncle here?"
Wu Wang said, "He's gone to talk to his uncle, and he will come to visit my aunt and aunt after a while, I'm heavy right now, I can't kowtow to you, please don't blame me, aunt."
Mrs. Gu waved her hands in a hurry, and said in fear and fear, "Don't dare, I should kowtow to my sister, thanks to you thinking of me and saving me from the butcher, I'm afraid I will die to see you in a few days later .”

As he spoke, he was about to kneel, but was held up by Wu Wang. Kneeling was not enough to achieve the Dao Fu, Wu Wang got a lump in his throat and cried, "Auntie, is this trying to break me? There is no reason for elders to salute juniors." , how can I bear it!"
Mrs. Zhang also came to stop her. Seeing that Wu Wang was very embarrassed, she explained, "You have a different status now, even if she begs you, there is nothing you can't bear." Then she smiled and said to Mrs. Gu, "My sister-in-law just came back. I don't know, our sister is now the emperor's daughter-in-law, Princess Runan who was conferred by the emperor, so she can be regarded as a face to Liu's parents!"
Mrs. Gu was shocked. She never expected that when the family was ruined and killed, it turned out to be very different when she came back. It turned out that Sister Chun married a good family, but somehow she became a relative of the emperor.Asked why, Mrs. Zhang said with a smile, "Thanks to finding a good son-in-law, our family has been nicknamed by him... Look, Cao Cao is here."
Stretching out his hand and pointing at the other end of the corridor, he saw a tall and tall figure slowly approaching, his brows contained distant mountains, his eyes concealed the future, he was born like a dragon and a phoenix, and his high-spirited momentum was incomparable.Gradually coming to the front, without needing to be introduced, Chaogu clasped his hands and bowed deeply, "Landu greets Auntie." Then bowed to Zhang Shi, "Greetings Auntie."
Mrs. Zhang agreed, and said to Mrs. Gu with a smile, "This is our son-in-law. His surname is Pei, and he is called Landu in small characters. Mr. Pei is a first-ranker in the dynasty, and he is the title of Minister of the Ministry of Family Affairs."
Mrs. Gu was stunned for a moment, and suddenly remembered seeing such a big official bowing down, so she panicked and raised her skirt to kowtow again, which startled Pei Zhen into a sweat, and hurriedly helped her up and said, "I can't help it." No way, Auntie is embarrassing me!"
The person who used to be proud and upright, now has no edges and corners, and his legs are soft. He will kneel when he sees everyone. Wu Wang's heart is full of emotions, so he lured her to sit on the Arhat bed with tears, and said softly, "Auntie, really, No matter how big an official he is, he is also your son-in-law at home, only he kneels down to you, without you kneeling down to him, it will not be like this in the future."
Ms. Gu shook her head sadly, "I'm just a concubine, and I was divorced by your father. If you don't abandon me, you took me out of the butcher's house. If I rely on my old man to sell my old man, wouldn't I be ignorant? If I'm talking about a son-in-law, that's definitely not right." Dare to be a slave, where did I get such a fate, even a decent concubine can't pretend to be like this."
These words are very reasonable and make people feel sad. Pei Zhen was afraid that he would cry again, so he changed the subject and said, "I'm afraid that there are not enough servants in the house, so we brought a few maids to help my aunt, aunt Just live in peace of mind and take good care of it for a while, if there is something short, send someone to tell me, if you have time, you can go to the Taifu's mansion to live for a while, Chun Jun is about to give birth, and I don't know how to wait for the confinement, when the time comes Just trouble Auntie and Auntie, and take care of everything for me."
Zhang Shi and Gu Shi naturally agreed, and Zhang Shi said, "Don't worry, my aunt, this is what you should. Thinking about our family's population is smaller than other families, and the house is so big and empty, you hurry up and have more children, and you will often have more children in the future." The house is lively when you walk around, and when Brother Pei marries a wife and has children, everything will be complete."
Wu Wang was a little shy, and said coyly, "This one is tossing so much that I can't sleep well during the day and night, how dare I live more."
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Pei Zhen and said with a smile, "It's up to you. How lucky you are. Your uncle and I only have De Pei. I'm afraid that I won't be able to support them, but now it's different, with such wealth and splendor, I don't have many children, so I'm afraid my uncle won't agree."
Pei Zhen is a sensible person. As soon as he heard this, the boss knew that he was afraid that he would take a concubine and beg for his aunt, so he didn't expose it. He just said, "It's all up to God. If you have it, you have it. If you don't, don't force it. One is nothing, if there are too many, I’m afraid it won’t hurt.” He said to Wu Wang, “There is a closet in the house, I will accompany my uncle to watch those carpenters work, and I happened to draw a bed for the children and asked them to come together. Hit, you talk to your aunt and aunt, I'm going."
Wu Wang hummed, Pei Zhen and Zhang Shigu made a bow, then lifted their robes and went out.
Mrs. Gu held Wuwang's hand and said, "Look at this, sister Chun is doing well, your parents should be happy there, my uncle has no character or appearance, and he treats you very well, really. Extremely rare."

Mrs. Zhang peeled the grapes and fed them to Wuwang's mouth, saying, "Not to mention, the most rare thing is that Mrs. Pei is single-minded! Now you go and see, whoever is capable is not three wives and four concubines, who are raised outside the house. A bunch of them? Only our uncle, who is a first-rank official, has no wrong intentions at all, and married only one sister, and the couple is as good as one, and everyone who knows it says that our sister is very lucky."
Wu Wang said, "Don't praise him, it will make him more and more proud. Although it is good now, I don't know what will happen in the future. Now, if he is a demon moth in the future, it is not a slap in the face." ?” Turning to the door, he said, “Come here.”
The servant girl came in with a blessing, lowered her hands and said, "Listen to my aunt's orders."

Wu Wang said to Gu Shi, "The maids I brought are all waiting at the second door. My aunt goes to change her clothes first. After tidying up, I ask them to come in and kowtow to my aunt."
Gu Shi nodded, stood up and followed the girl.
Mrs. Zhang sighed again and again, "You don't know, she rolled up her sleeves for me to see, there was no good flesh on that arm, it was either burnt or cut, that butcher was nothing like a human being, he punished her to death, If you're drunk, you'll beat her, if you're unhappy, you'll beat her, if you're done beating, you'll spoil her, it's a real pain."
Don't look to the heart to say that those who butchered pigs and sheep were originally vulgar, and their father was a modest gentleman. Although he didn't love them at that time, he was kind and pleasant, and he didn't treat them badly. It's good fortune for that kind of people not to be trampled to death.Sui said, "I don't live in this mansion, and I can't take care of it usually. Aunt Lao has to worry about me and asks her to be taken care of, so she doesn't have to worry about food and drink. She doesn't have a son or a daughter. If I don't care about her, her evening will be too miserable." some."
Mrs. Zhang nodded, and then talked about the birthday of the old lady of Xie Mansion the day after tomorrow. Mrs. Zhang said, "The ceremony is all ready, ten baskets of glutinous rice and white flour birthday peaches have been steamed, and the red ones have been lighted, and they are left to dry in the bamboo basket in the back kitchen. Now, I prepared eight jars of old daughter red, six catties of dried lychees, six catties of dried longan, sealed with 50 taels of gift money, you see what is missing, I will add more, I can't lose my etiquette, there is no shame joke."

Wuwang flapped his round fan and said, "Auntie is too careful, we are all from our own family, and we still care about these things!" While wiping his sweat with a handkerchief, he said impatiently, "What time is it, why is it still so hot?"
Mrs. Zhang also came over to fan her. Seeing that she was sweating from the heat, she hurriedly called the girls waiting outside to come in, undressed her, cleaned her face and washed her hands, served her a cup of white fungus and goji berries, and hugged brocade cushions to help her. She leaned against the side of the couch, and when all the arrangements were made, Zhang said, "You are full of anger, you must be a kid if you are afraid of the heat like this! Last time, it was said that your parents-in-law and uncle came to the capital from other provinces, so sooner or later Arrived? Arrived at your residence?"
Wu Wang picked up a pickled plum and put it in his mouth, and said slowly, "I'm on the road now, I guess it will be more than half a month before I arrive, I wrote a letter first, and said in the letter that I will live with Pei Lan's family. The Lord is sending someone to look for a house, there is a mansion on Qianmen East Street for sale, tomorrow he will go to Zhang Zhangyan, if it is good, he will buy it."
Mrs. Zhang smiled complacently, "I'll just say you're a blessed one, man, you think so! How can there be any reason why parents can't live in the house after traveling all the way? It can be seen how much Mr. Pei loves you. You are not used to getting along with mother-in-law and sister-in-law."
Wu Wang'er turned his eyes and became unhappy again, "Didn't he hurt me? It's like I can't tolerate my in-laws. There are four or five gardens in the mansion, and there are seventeen or eight in the small courtyard. It's not that I can't live in them." , If you are afraid of trouble, the garden gate has a key and everyone passes by, why bother to go outside and ask people to talk! Fortunately, my aunt reminded me that I was really confused, and I let him fool around without asking."

Zhang Shi said, "He must have seen that you didn't mean to keep them, so it's hard to say anything, he can only make up for himself."

Don't expect to think of him wringing his fingers and laughing with grievance on his face, Mrs. Zhang poked her on the forehead, and said helplessly, "It seems that you are usually big-minded, but you are heartless when it comes to critical situations."

At this time, Mrs. Gu changed into a water-pattern cross-collared short jacket, covered with a cloud silk bijia, and wore a brown gauze hat on her head. She was really energetic after dressing up. I hope you will caress your palms and pass on the girl from the door. After recognizing the master, the three mothers sat around together, and then began to laugh and chat with each other.
