Lucky not to forget

Chapter 27 Beloveds
After dinner, Liu'er ordered the sun-dried mugwort to fumigate the mosquitoes, and the whole family sat in the courtyard to enjoy the cool air.

Mrs. Zhang looked around, and said, "Mr. Pei is careful. Everyone has left, and he still misses us. He left the shop and this yard, saving money for renting a house in the future."

Liu Hong shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that he has a family. If not, our sister will be blessed to follow him."

Who said that the feelings piled up with money are not true feelings. Only those who have love are willing to spend money. Although it is a bit kitsch, it comes from the heart. It is better than being poor. Every day you say "I have you in my heart" , but so poor that he doesn't even have money to eat!I just hate that he didn't inform her before he left. If there are so many people, it's not easy to see her off, and it's okay to take a look in private, but now he left without saying goodbye. I don't know why!
Liu Hong looked up at the moon in the sky, and thought of his brother and sister-in-law who had passed away. He felt depressed for a while before he said, "My brother and sister-in-law have been away for almost nine years. If my brother was only detained at that time, and he was not sentenced to death, he would still be here today." It's time to start."

Wuwang said in a low voice, "We were still in prison when my parents died, and we don't know who will take it away. After all those years, no one worships, I'm afraid the grass on the grave is desolate, and maybe we can't even find the head of the grave." .” Said sadly and cried out.

Liu Hong comforted, "Don't cry, if you have a chance to respond to the sky in the future, you can always find it if you search around."

Liu'er hurriedly wiped away tears for Wu Wang, thinking, the girl is a fairy-like person, but she also has such a sad past, it can be seen that everything in the world has its own destiny, today is good, tomorrow will not be good, today is poor, but tomorrow will be full It is unknown if it is prosperous.

While Mrs. Zhang was blaming Liu Hong for spoiling the scenery, she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door of the shop, and asked, "Is there anyone buying pastries at this late hour?" So he and Liu'er carried an oil lamp and went into the shop, but they didn't dare to open the door rashly. , and asked through the door, "Who is it?"

The outsider asked, "Excuse me, is this Liu Yuyan's house?"

Mrs. Zhang was startled, Yu Yan was Liu Hong's small character, and no one knew about it since he spontaneously assigned him. Could it be that the people outside came from heaven?While puzzled, he asked, "Who are you?"

The people outside said, "Are you the second sister-in-law? I am Chun'er's third uncle, Xie Si, and I am here to look for you."

Mrs. Zhang hastily removed the row boards, and the moonlight slanted in. Outside the door, there was a person standing with his back to the light, followed by two male servants, five or six ladies and maids, all of them saluted her, and the leader, Xie Yu, bowed. With a bow all over his body, he choked up and said, "I found you!"

Mrs. Zhang let them into the house in a daze, and led a group of people through the corridor to the yard. The two uncles and nephews were talking about the trivial things in the past. To see clearly, just listen to Mrs. Zhang say, "Brother Pei, his father, who do you think is here? It's the third master of the Xie family!"

Liu Hong stood up, the visitor was already sobbing, he stepped forward and grabbed his hand and said, "Second brother, you have suffered all these years!"

Liu Hong suddenly realized that it was Wuwang's uncle who came. At that time, because the two families were married, they often stayed together. Later, Wuwang's father made a mistake, and they were even sent out. , Now I can't recognize it at all!Weeping bitterly at the moment, the two hugged each other tightly.

Don't expect to react in time, her mother's maiden name is Xie, and she vaguely remembers how many uncles there are in the family, and they have no contact with each other since the drastic changes in their family.It was November when they were dispatched to Beijing, and it was snowing, and they had no clothes to keep out the cold, and they were shivering from the cold. No one from the uncle's family came to see them off, and no one came to deal with the official, because the official did not It was a good thing, they suffered a lot along the way and almost died, now that their life is stable, why did they come here?
Mrs. Zhang led the crowd into the main room again, lit three or four candles, and the servants waited by the side. The women watched and wiped their tears in secret. Xie Yu also turned to look at her and asked, "What is this?" My Chun'er?"

Don't look at him, he is about 40 years old, slightly fat, wearing fine silk clothes, his face is stained with wind and frost, and his hair is a little messy, it can be seen that he came in a hurry.Seeing her standing stupidly, Mrs. Zhang hurriedly said, "Sister, that's your own uncle."

After all, it is the flesh and blood of a close relative, but Wang looked at him head-on, called uncle in his mouth, and burst into tears uncontrollably, bent his knees and was about to kneel down, was held by Xie Jin, took a closer look, ignored the rules, and shook his head He hugged her and cried, "Sure enough, it's my Chun'er, who looks exactly like her mother!"

The nephew and uncle cried together again, crying together in the room for a while, thanking him, "Second elder brother and second sister-in-law raised Sister Chun so well, it's really hard work! In the past, when Emperor Gao was alive, there was turmoil in the court. Carelessness is a serious crime of copying and beheading the whole family. Our family includes seventy or eighty people, even if we care about you, we would never dare to look for it. Now, if you say something disrespectful, Emperor Gao has finally gone , you can go back safely, even if you hide your name and buy a house and field, it's better than staying in this deserted place."

Liu Hongdao, "Emperor Gao's death was announced only this morning. How did you come so fast?"

Xie Jin sat down and drank the tea ceremony, "Perhaps you haven't read the imperial list. Emperor Gao died when his son was ugly. It will take some time for the notice to be sent to other provinces urgently, because my elder brother is in the court. I don't see the emperor coming to the court every day, and the imperial physicians are also waiting in the palace, so I guess something is wrong, and I told my mother, the old lady has long thought about Miss Chun, so she ordered me to bring someone here Picking you up, I walked for more than half a month on the road, and I didn't dare to make a big announcement when I got here, so I had to inquire about it from the village, and it took another five or six days. Today, I asked to find it, but the obituary also arrived. Do you think it's old? Heaven has eyes!" Then he greeted those women and maids and said, "Come and greet Miss Liu!"

Those who came with Xie Yu knelt down in unison, kowtowed and said, "Greetings, Miss."

Wu Wang nodded his head and said, "Get up, everyone." Then he said to Liu'er, "Take Missing them down for tea, it's hard work to walk such a long distance."

Liu'er led the people to rest in the ear room, leaving them to talk together.Seeing that Wuwang had arranged for his servants, Xie Chen poured tea and water for him, and behaved decently and gracefully. She felt very relieved, and sighed, "My little Chun'er is really grown up. If her father hadn't been in trouble, she would be fine." Miss Qianjin will not come to this northern land, thanks to the love of her uncle and aunt, she does not act shabby, your grandfather and grandmother will be happy to see you." Then he said to Liu Hong, "Second brother, you and sister-in-law quickly clean up the things. Forget it, let's leave tomorrow morning, the day after tomorrow at the latest. It would be nice to reply earlier. When the new emperor ascends the throne and amnesties the world, and then entrust people to deal with them and redeem the old house, it will be regarded as consummation of merit and virtue. "

Don't look at the uncles and aunts, they were a little embarrassed, and said to Xie Yu, "You don't know, we have a son who was taken to join the army by the people of King Yan this year, and somehow he only wrote a letter back, let's write a letter in the past It's also like nothing, so we can't get away, afraid that the child will not be found when he leaves."

Xie Jin understood, and said again, "Then sister Chun, let me go back with me. It's better for a girl to be raised in a boudoir."

Wu Wang said, "Uncle, please forgive me. This time I'm afraid I told you to make your trip in vain. My uncle and aunt didn't leave, and I was brought up by them when I was a child. There is no reason to leave them to enjoy themselves. I don't want to leave." don't go."

Xie Jin showed disappointment on his face, "Do you still blame us for sitting on the sidelines? At that time, there was really nothing to do. I think you all know the tyranny of Emperor Gao. How many people have been killed, and the nine clans have been killed at every turn. We have such a I can't move my heart. If I ask my superiors to find out, it will be forming a party for personal gain, ransacking my home, killing me with a stick, Ling Chi... who would dare! When you were put in prison, my second brother also asked someone to buy me a friend and wanted to come in and take a look. , was dragged to the bank of the moat by those Jinyi guards and beaten to pieces, and died after lying down for ten days at home. The elder brother was also reprimanded and fined a year's salary. You don't know about it. Now you blame us. It shouldn't be."

Hearing what he said, I hope that the original anger will disappear. Maybe she is young and ignorant. Anyway, the uncles are also kind and righteous. The second uncle even gave his life for it. How can she hate them, so Embarrassment appeared on his face, and he stepped forward and said, "I blame uncles for being unreasonable. Now that I know the whole story, I realize that I have wronged you. I am really sad! I am sorry for my grandfather, grandmother, and uncles. Me, people from thousands of mountains and rivers still come to look for me, but I am used to being here now, and I am afraid that I will not be used to it when I go back."

Xie Jin said, "Last year, the graves of your parents were also found, and they were moved out of the mass graves. Even if you don't want to live in your grandfather's house for a long time, you should go back to the graves and pay homage to them. This is your son and daughter. filial piety."

The three uncles and nephews were overjoyed when they heard the words, Liu Hong said, "I just talked about it, but I didn't expect to find it! Sister, you go back with your uncle. It's not too late to come back after kowtow on the grave of your parents. Parents have been lying alone in the ground for those years, and their own flesh and blood have not been seen, and there is no offering, how desolate! Now that you are old, and it is time to fulfill your filial piety, your head has been left outside and you have not kept filial piety for them. It should be added."

Wu Wang bowed his knees and said, "Yes." Then he asked Xie Jin, "Uncle, are you leaving tomorrow?"

Xie Chen nodded, Zhang turned her back and secretly wiped away her tears, raised Wu Wang and said, "Then let's go and clean it up, we don't have to be late tomorrow."

Xie Jin said, "Sister's clothes and tops have already been prepared, you two just talk about your own things."

Mrs. Zhang didn't answer, she pulled Wuwang out, led her to her room, and whimpered, "It's no better at my grandmother's house than at my own. There are a thousand aunts, sisters and brothers, so don't say a word, just take care of yourself. If you live a happy life." Come back if things don’t go well, don’t wrong yourself, we’ve been poor these past few years, but at least we’re not angry.” He took out a bag of broken silver from the suitcase and gave it to her, and said, “This is the ten taels of silver I saved, and I’ll bring it to you. Use it for self-defense."

Wuwang knew that it was not easy for her to save this money, so she shied away from it, and said, "Since you are going to uncle's house, you will spend the money for food and clothing, you can keep it yourself, and I won't use it if you give it to me."

Mrs. Zhang said, "Why can't it be used, and your mother-in-law and girl should also be rewarded. You don't have to tell people that you have followed a poor master, and you can't get any money. If you feel resentful in your heart, you won't serve him well. Tomorrow, ask Liu'er to go with you, I think that girl is very nice, she is sincere to you, and I don't worry if I have a friend."

After all, she was a child raised by her own hands. Although she was almost assigned to someone else as a concubine, she was desperate at that time, and she was not sincere. Now that she is going away, she is reluctant to part with her. Chu cried for a long time before giving up.

The next day was sunny and sunny, so I didn’t expect to say goodbye to my uncle and aunt, and followed my uncle down the waterway. From then on, it was another encounter in my life.
