Heroes of the Sons and Daughters

Chapter 107 Ambition and Inscription Suffering Gap Becomes a Good Story (1)
In the last book, Mr. An and Di Ronggui concluded the fourth chapter of this commentary. Naturally, this article should have endless aftermath.

But he said that he went to visit his aunt after paying homage to his parents, and sisters Jin and Yu also went there together.The three generals entered the gate of the courtyard. They had seen their uncles and wives waiting at the door. Seeing them coming, they said with a smile: "This is a new rich man. Even the servants have been replaced with new ones."

With that said, the young master entered the door and asked his aunt to sit down and accept the ceremony.The uncle and wife said: "I won't ask you to kowtow to this head, maybe you may not be willing, so just kowtow." As the young master knelt down, he held the young master's hand and said, "Hurry up and get promoted sooner." Dinger. Not only do your masters and wives like it more, but even me as a mother-in-law is happier."

The young master was tightly held by his aunt with one hand and said nothing, so he had no choice but to agree and salute with one hand.When he got up, his uncle and wife asked him to take off his hat and jacket, and asked someone to pour tea.

The son said: "I don't drink tea anymore, why should I drink something cold at this time!" The uncle and wife said: "Yes, I have cooked mung beans for you here, and I made some rice dumplings myself. I'm about to send it to you." Then he called: "Old Lan, bring it here, and eat it here." Lao Lan agreed, and brought a bowl of cold mung beans and a plate of rice dumplings, and saw that girl again. , formerly known as Suxin, but renamed Luxiang, brought out a plate of rose marinade and a plate of rock sugar from the house, and put them in front of the young master.While the young master was eating, his uncle and wife said: "After eating, wipe your face again to cool down."

The young master finished eating, wiped his face, and dressed again.

The uncle and wife said: "I still have a stubborn idea for you here. It's not worth sending it to you. You can take it." Then, he asked Lvxiang to take it out of the house one by one.

One is a carrying beam box, covered with a glass cover, and covered with a kit.When I opened it, it turned out to be a whole coral dome like a baby face, with a green emerald quill.The uncle and wife said: "Although you can't wear these two things now, you will always wear them in the future. Take them as auspicious ones." Both Jin and Yu, who had never met their uncle, said, "This It must be uncle who reads the letter." The uncle and wife said: "Hey, why did your uncle wear a red cap? After being a difficult person, he was finally promoted to the Qing Dynasty. Wait a minute, it's almost time to leave Meilenzhangjing, who knows that he has been promoted to the other end after being promoted so soon. It took four years before the decree was made to set the official title. Our great-grandfather got it when he was in Guangdong that year." Miss Zhang said: "Don't you think that the old officials don't even have hats? I know another ancient record." Miss He said: "Otherwise, why should the hats be divided into different hats?" It's red and blue."

Said, the young master looked at the box again, it was the peach pits and beads of the Panbai Arhats, the carvings were very exquisite, and the commemoration of the Buddha's head on the back was also vivid.The young master felt very fond of it, so he said, "This plate is light and light, so I'll change it for him." The uncle and wife became more and more happy, so they sat there cross-legged, called him over, and asked him to bow his head, and change it for him in person.Ms. He opened the box a long time ago, but it turned out to be a perfect hand towel with purse and ribbon.The uncle and wife said: "Look, you two, this is still my job for 20 years. Now if I am asked to do it like this, I can't do it." Miss He said: "There is no need to talk about the job. It's hard for my mother to take it away, but it's still in good condition." Mr. Yinhe said, "Put it on too." As he said, he couldn't help but put it on for him.Then the son put on his hat, thanked his aunt, and went back to his parents with the box in person.The uncle and wife joined him and said, "When I come back, your mother-in-law and I will invite my aunt, my aunt, and you to accompany me."

As soon as the young master agreed, he came over and asked his parents to see all the things he had just acquired.The old man and his wife were very happy, so they urged him to go behind.Mrs. An said: "I asked someone to open the corner door for you, and the two wives followed. One of them should go to his own ancestral hall to kowtow, and the other should also meet his parents. Don't worry about the excitement in our house. , so that someone who raises a girl will look at Hanxin." The two agreed, took a group of maids and women, and followed them as if they were escorting them.After a while, I arrived at He Gong Temple, where Dai Qin, Song Guan'er and his family members had been waiting there.After the young master told the sacrifice, Miss He came forward and kowtowed.Ms. Zhang will never let go of this festival in front of her sister. Is there anyone who doesn't follow and kowtow at this moment?After worshiping together, they got up, withdrew the sacrificial feast, closed the door, and went to sit in the meditation hall where Miss He lived for half a day that day.

I saw Nanny Hua carrying a pot of boiling water from his house, holding a marinated pot in her arms, and holding a stack of tea bowls and tea trays in her hand.The young master said: "Can't you just ask your daughter-in-law to help? Why do you have to be so tired like the mother of my elder brother's mother Kuterei [Kutele: stubborn meaning]!" He said: " Didn't they call the daughter-in-law Zhang Luo, but at this moment Mang Zhong'er woke up again and couldn't get off his mother's body. I think their child's claws are cumbersome, and I don't do it myself. "As he said, he was busy pouring tea for grandpa and grandma.Who do you think this mango is?As explained in the previous book, when Ms. He passed the house, the random daughter-in-law was nearly three months old, so she never got into a new house. Counting around the time of the previous year's awn seeds, shouldn't it be time to raise her?In a blink of an eye, this year is Grain Grain again, and the child happens to be one year old, so he knows how to depend on his mother if he dares.

Don't bother talking.When tea was poured, Miss Zhang said, "It doesn't matter if you don't have tea or not. One of you can give me a bag of cigarettes." As she said, she saw that the wicker had filled the cigarettes.

Miss He said: "Drink their tea and kowtow to your parents. This bag of cigarettes will take another half a day." Then she stood up and went to pick up his cigarette bag.Miss Zhang said with a smile: "Good sister, wait for me to take two more bites." While handing the cigarette pouch to Liu Tiao'er, she turned around and took two puffs in his hand.The three of them went to Mr. Zhang's side together.

When they arrived at the gate, the old couple greeted them early.It turned out that Mr. Zhang only occupied three main rooms and six side rooms because he had few people and many rooms.In the middle of the main room, there are Buddhas, one for people and one for guests.At the moment the son and his wife went in, they saw that the Buddha's table in the main room had been replaced with a new yellow cloth table surround, and the tin five offerings on the table had been polished to a bright mirror. There is also a piece of dry straw standing upright. It is said that it is afraid that there will be uncleanness in the house, and it will cover the eyes of the Buddha. Stop and wait for my uncle to salute.

Do you know what kind of instrument this is?It turns out that whenever a small family encounters a big ceremony, they are not willing to sit down and accept the head of the person, and they always ask him to kowtow to the family Buddha.Even if there is a child in the family who has dropped out of school, he has to bow to the Buddha.This is true for all losers, but it is not recorded in the "Book of Rites".What's more, when Mr. Jian'an was elected, he saluted his parents-in-law in the upper room. How can he get this rule at this time?When he heard his father-in-law say: "My uncle is here, don't salute." Then he realized that he should kowtow to the Buddha, so he first kowtowed to Mount Tai three times on the mat.Mr. Zhang also said a few honest and auspicious words, and said: "It's not in vain for you and his sister to suffer that suffering! This is the blessing of Buddha and Bodhisattva!"

The young master got up and kowtowed to Taishui again.As the saying goes: "Gold is like gold, and jade is like jade." The conversation of the wife of the in-laws is quite different from the past.I just heard him say: "Grandpa is very polite, please ask me. This is really hard for you! It's not in vain for your family to eat hard to the end, and it's not in vain for my family's "autumn wind and rain". It was in vain for our two families to marry each other. In the future, my two families will worry about their youth and rice! But people say, "God can't be separated by a layer of paper", and when his sister and son are born again tomorrow A man and a half woman, that is the joy of reunion. No one can say that this is not human nature." I don't think that once he became an official relative, he was blessed to the heart, and these few official words accidentally rhymed with the same pattern. .

But Mr. Zhang asked the three of them to sit down, and shouted loudly: "Auntie, bring the pot!" When that Mrs. Zhan heard that the young master was coming, she dared not leave the door of the wing, and even agreed in fear. He promised, and only asked his child to bring the water bottle.The child was also embarrassed, and refused to enter the house, and only called out from the door: "Gu Dae, you take the kettle in!" It turned out that the child was terribly afraid of Miss Zhang.Miss Zhang then called out: "Ah Qiao, come in." Then he came in nonchalantly, holding the kettle in one hand and holding his second thumb in his mouth with the other hand, laughing grinningly, Pass the jug over.Mrs. Zhang asked him to pay his respects to the young master again. It was useless to say that it was like twisting his buttocks, but he refused to come forward again.Miss He said, "You don't need to greet me." She pointed to the young master and asked him, "You just say who this is?" The child shook his head again.Miss He said: "What about me?" He recognized it and said, "You, you are also a sister." Miss Zhang said: "Then who is that asking you, I just shook my head and said nothing, but asked you to tell me!" Only then replied, "He's a master." Then, Mr. Zhang made tea, he took the kettle, and ran away.

Mr. Zhang brought tea, and the young master stood up quickly to take it. Seeing that there was no tea tray, he touched the tea bowl and it was hot again. He just said, "Your old man, let them pour it." The tea bowl has a bisected mouth and is covered with a lid, so you can't drink it from your mouth anymore.Helpless, I lifted the lid, and saw that the tea leaves were brewed on the tip of the hill, and Xuan Teng came out of the bowl after waiting.I thought, this drinking must make a mouthful of tea, because I closed my mouth and smacked it, I didn't want this thick sticky bar to smack in my mouth, which was bitterer than coptis juice, so I swallowed it with eyebrows drawn down, put down the bowl, and poured it Lived up to the owner's respect for the guests.Mr. Zhang brought tea to his sister again, then took out a stick of incense root from under the Buddhist table, went to the kitchen and made a fire, and let his aunt smoke.Liu Tiao'er packs cigarettes for Miss Zhang here, and Nanny Dai Zhang Luo packs cigarettes for his wife.The wife in-law was smoking, and Ms. He asked: "Mom, why is the cigarette your old man is eating today not like the old leaf cigarette?" Mrs. Zhang said: "It can be said that it is all you My uncle and wife, when I went to his house, he made a fuss about me eating my cigarettes, and only told me to eat his. Yesterday he bought another ten catties of scum for me, and it was strange for me to eat it. Yes. I just can’t help eating, but after a while I feel like I’m burning my mouth, I’m probably used to it and it’s fine.”

At present, the host and guest are entertaining each other.The young master thanked his parents-in-law for their kindness in welcoming Kuaguan, and the old couple also humbly said a few words.The young master is about to say goodbye and go ahead.Miss He asked Mrs. Zhang, "Didn't Mom treat her parents-in-law to dinner with my aunt when she came back? Why don't you leave the corner door open early? It will save you a long detour when you come back." Mrs. Zhang then said, "Yes. " Said, put out the incense with two fingers, and shouted: "Auntie, I won't come to eat at home, let's get half a bowl for dinner." After that, they came over here together.

In the upper room, Mr. An was having a long talk with Mrs. An and his uncle.Seeing the young master coming, he asked for a hat and gown. When he was ready, he took him out and thanked his teacher, Mr. Cheng.Just as he was talking, the person replied: "Master Cheng came over in his official uniform. Now he is waiting in the waist room. He said that he must come in to congratulate the master and wife."

Lie Gong, where do you think this old master Cheng started to wear official uniform again?It turned out that he was a candidate instructor who paid tribute in Japan. Because there was no deadline for the selection and the family couldn't stay, he brought his son to Beijing to find a place for the museum.It happened that year that Mr. An used the magistrate of the county to go to Huai'an, and he planned to ask the young master to stay in Beijing for the rural examination, but he was worried that no one would take care of his class.Seeing that Mr. Cheng came, he was a brother who was a classmate of mine when he was young, so he invited him to stay at home.Mr. Cheng saw that the cooking was expensive, and the people and the place were suitable, so it was better to be an old teacher and eat that bowl of tofu rice.Therefore, after living for four years, the host and guest got along very well.Mr. An is also a respected teacher. Whenever there is a serious business at home, he will always invite Mr. An to come over and socialize with relatives and friends. humble opinion.Therefore, Mr. Shi also "lived in Yiqi, nourished his body", put on a duck egg green eight silk Luo tire flat drum hollow □ season-like weft hat, bought a pair of old eight-grade quail tonic, A pair of fat-brained, turned-soled soap boots.On this day, I was delighted to meet a student who ordered Tanhua, which was the first proud thing ever, so I came here with a veiled hat and a round collar, and I must go to the hall to congratulate.

Because Mr. An hadn't brought his son there to thank Mr., Mr. turned upside down, and felt very uneasy for a moment, and said, "How dare you do this!" After bowing his head for a long time, he joined his wife and said, "Well, since Mr. You are so polite, you have to let him come in the upper room. Mrs. Mo Ru also saw him, my husband and I asked Yuge to bow to him in the upper room in person, which seemed to be a kind of closeness and respect." The wife also thought it was very yes.

However, Mr. An's family has always been the most serious inside and out, and the family members outside will not enter the hall unless they are summoned.The servants in the upper room are all servants and maids, and only Ma Huaer, the nine-year-old boy of the waiter Lao You, is listening to the call in the upper room.At that moment, everyone heard that Master Shi was going to come in, and they were busy adjusting their seats and preparing to lift the curtain.Mrs. An's family members took all the maidservants to take shelter in the east, while the rest of the wives and daughters-in-law waited on them far away in the west.At this time, for the eldest sister's calculations, he should naturally go in with his wife, as if he had another thing on his mind.Why do you think?It turned out that since the day when he sent Dai Qin home to pay his respects when he came out in the first round of the son's township examination last year, he heard what Dai Qin said back to the master and said, "Master said that the master is sure to hit the mark". And all the way to Tanhua, he really admired the teacher in his heart.Today is a rare opportunity, so he didn't go into the house, and stood outside with the servants, wanting to pay his respects to what kind of old god this master is.

Just listen to the master first ordering people to prepare to open the main door, and then said: "Just ask the master."

The family agreed to go out, and the master had already brought the young master to welcome him to the second step and waited.At this time, the elder sister thought in her heart: "This master can even afford to teach our uncle. Even if he can't be as grand as the military master Zhuge of Master Liu Bei in the play, he is still like the master Yue in the book anyway." A teacher like Mr. Zhou, if he falls on the ground, he won’t be like Chen Zuiliang in "Chun Xianger Troubled School." He could only look through the glass to the second door.

While I was looking forward to it, I saw family members running in from the second gate and said back, "Master Shi has come in." Then the screen door squeaked open, and the Master Shi was invited in.When he looked at it, he was a little dissatisfied at first.It turns out that although the teacher was born without the need to "tell me, so and so is here", his eyes are almost "turned a blind eye"; "Bending but not stretching." Half of the real and fake braids are draped over the shoulders, like a willow hanging in the wind; a thick silver-plated beard is wrapped around the mouth, which is no less messy than thatched grass by the stream.
