Lucky not to forget

Chapter 31
Mrs. Xie arranged a few capable girls to take care of her, asking about food and clothing one by one, and she was relieved when the arrangements were made properly. After a while, she remembered what happened in Xie Shenyan's courtyard and asked Bai, "What's wrong with that?" What to do? There was such a big commotion just now, I’m going to send someone to do it, what’s the matter with being covered under the bed, you can’t do it if you have to meet maggots!”

Bai said, "Brother Yan and his daughter-in-law are taking care of it, but Shen Yan hasn't come back yet, so it's not easy to restrain yourself."

The old lady Xie scolded, "Nonsense! If he doesn't come back, he just pretends to be like this? Do you really want to wait for her mother to call? This is too inappropriate for my brother, who spends his time outside all day, and you blindly dote on it but don't care about it." No matter, tell him to come to me when he comes back, but ask him to kneel in front of his ancestors! Aunt Zhen should send it seriously. These are what you girls mean."

The eldest girl Ru Lan said, "The third master is still outside."

The old lady Xie said, "Tell him to come in."

Xie Jin came in outside to greet the old lady, and the old lady Xie ordered, "The old man hasn't come back yet, you can ask Shen Du to help with the cooking first, and don't make things difficult for her natal brother, find a place with better feng shui to bury her. Send some money to her old lady, the sooner this happens, the better."

Xie Jin took the order to go out and invite a Feng Shui master and a water and land dojo.The old lady Xie looked down and asked, "Did you get scared just now? Although I haven't arrived, I know that the people below are not protecting them wholeheartedly, and the little girl you brought is useless. Such an idea The matter was frightened and dumbfounded, what a big deal, you have to take care of it."

Wu Wang said, "She has never seen the world, and I am also close to her, and I don't think of her as a girl in my heart."

The old lady Xie caressed her face and said, "I know our sister has a good heart, but the master must act like a master, otherwise those slaves will ride on the head of the master. You just came, and you are tired on the road. After eating and taking a nap, your sisters and sisters will come back from school, and you sisters are so happy together."

Lu Shi said, "Aunts and grandmas are sending someone to report?"

The old lady Xie said, "Let's wait until later, there are a lot of things to do at the moment, I will talk about it after the things in Brother Yan's house are done." Then he asked Wu Wang, "Is what I have learned in the past few years wasted? "

Wu Wang said, "Uncle taught me the first few years, and I still remember it now."

The old lady Xie nodded and said, "It can be seen that your uncle loves you very much, why didn't they come back this time?"

Wu Wang replied, "It's just because my little cousin went to join the army this year, and he can't communicate with letters. I'm afraid he won't be able to find anyone when he comes back."

The old lady Xie said, "I remember that your aunt gave birth to a boy after her eldest sister died, and now she is old enough to join the army?"

Wuwang took the fan from the girl's hand and gave it to grandma lightly, saying, "It's for the people under King Yan's attention. I'll take it back to study first. It's not for fighting."

"What do they do for a living there?" Mrs. Xie said, "I heard that they have already been released from slavery, what do they do now?"

Wu Wang said, "Before I came, I set up a pastry shop with my aunt, and my uncle was working as the accountant for others. Although he was not rich, he was full of food." As he spoke, he missed Liu Hong and Mrs. Zhang, and after she left, only my aunt had snacks No one helped her, so she didn't know what to do. Fortunately, my uncle left 200 taels of silver for them when he left. With both money and a shop, I think life should be worry-free.

The old lady Xie hugged her, and sighed, "Amitabha, look at how capable I am, and even open a shop with my aunt. It is indeed better than her mother back then, unlike her mother who was determined and left behind. This poor boy and I let go and go."

Wu Wang hurriedly said, "Don't be sad, old lady, mom and dad must have a good life there. They are both together and accompanied by each other. Now that I am back, I offer incense every day, and uncle has found them again." their bones, and they have shelter and food."

Old Madam Xie sighed, "Isn't that right? You don't know what it was like in that mass grave. There are many graves but there is not even a monument. Your uncle asked someone to find the person who collected their corpses back then, and they walked around for three days before they died. Found it."

Wuwang wept secretly after hearing this, and when Wu saw it, he interrupted and said, "Stop talking about it, my natal nephew came yesterday and brought me two baskets of freshly picked loquats. I haven't had time to send them to the courtyards, I'll ask the girls to share a share, and each family can taste it, this year's rain is less, and it's even sweeter than previous years."

The old lady Xie said, "That's good, I'm thinking about it. Don't light up fires everywhere tonight, come to my place to eat, let's have a good gathering as a family. Madam, did you ever send someone to find Yan?" My brother? Tell him to come back early and settle the matter, because of this matter, I feel panicked."

Bai's Nuonuo said yes, and said again, "I sent someone out, and I think I'll be back soon. The old lady, don't worry about it. It's just a concubine. It's worth nothing, but I will do rituals in another courtyard for three days, and I will send you off soon." Just go out."

Don't Wang listened quietly, and felt sorry for that aunt Zhen. This is the way of the world, concubines are not treated as human beings, and they are not decent when they are alive. Just find a place to bury it, and this life will be over.

The old lady Xie said, "I only miss Brother Ren, that child just died and his mother died, so don't treat him badly."

Bai said, "Don't worry, old lady. In the days when Aunt Zhen was ill, brother Ren had already taken him to his aunt to raise him. The child is only one year old, and he doesn't know anything. From now on, I will always supervise and call those nannies." It’s enough for the girls to take care of them with all their heart.”

The old lady Xie was silent for a while, and then said after a while, "He is your direct grandson anyway, don't just throw it at Brother Yan's daughter-in-law and forget it, it's always different across the belly, not to mention she has a kid herself , It’s hard to make sure there’s no distinction between superiors and inferiors, don’t worry about the child, if it doesn’t work out, you can take it and raise it yourself, now that Brother Ru is grown up, you don’t need to worry about it, you just worry about the poor child.”

Bai Shi said yes, it was a little embarrassing, after all, an elder was reprimanded in front of the younger generation, and couldn't hold back his face, and if he looked at her in a blink of an eye, or just smiled at her, she felt relieved.

Mrs. Wu didn't care about them, she held Wuwang's hand affectionately and said, "Sister, just tell me what you like to eat, and I will send someone to clean up the house. There are two rooms in my garden. It is built next to the water, and you can see Yanzhi Lake when you open the rear window, if the east and west windows are opened, the wind from the lake can blow in, which is very cool.”

Wu Wang said, "Thank you, Auntie, for planning for me. I have caused trouble for Auntie."

Wu said happily, "I'm idle all day now, and I don't have anything important to do. Tell me to pick up a girl for nothing. I'm not happy yet, so there will be trouble." Then he blessed the old lady and said, "Old lady , let me take my leave first, and come pick up my sister after I have taken care of everything."

The old lady Xie nodded, she went happily, the other two aunts talked for a while and then withdrew, the old lady Xie said, "Your second aunt is really pitiful, I haven't seen her so happy all these years However, when you go to her place, you must honor her."

Wu Wang said, "I can save it, it's just that I planned to be a filial piety for my parents for three years, and I want to move to Qingyi Nunnery after a while."

The old lady Xie was taken aback, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I know you are a filial child, and you should keep filial piety for your parents. You only need to stay for one year, you don’t need to wear mourning, you don’t need to move into a nunnery, you don’t need to move into a nunnery, take back your parents’ tablet and enshrine it, sooner or later a stick of incense will fulfill your filial piety, this is a great age I am absolutely useless in my heart to be with the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng, I still have a few more years to live, and you come back and go away, and I don't have to see you often, how can I do that!"

Don't expect to see my grandmother so sad that it's not easy to disobey her, so I have to agree first and then make a fuss.The old lady looked at her very fondly, hugged her for a while, and said, "Since you are back, you should rest at home for two days before going to pay homage to your parents, because your mother is married and cannot enter Xie's house." The ancestral hall is enshrined. Last year, your elder brother went to the Liu family. Who knew that the people of the Liu family said that the Liu family ancestral hall did not let the beheaded descendants, and they coaxed your elder brother out. Your elder brother was angry and hated , I came back and cried a lot, I had no choice but to send the memorial tablet to Songzhu Temple, now that you are back, you can invite them in, your second aunt will definitely not say anything, so put it under the shrine in her garden , it’s all for you to perform filial piety at home, stay young in the nunnery, after a long time, don’t you want to break the red dust, that’s okay!”

Wu Wang said with a smile, "It's because I didn't think carefully. Now that I'm here with my grandmother, everything should be arranged by the old lady."

The old lady Xie said, "Are you fifteen this year?"

Wu Wang said, "It will be fifteen in three months."

The old lady Xie said, "Look, if you keep your filial piety for three years and delay your marriage, what will you do? Doesn't your mother blame me to death?"

Wu Wang smiled, lowered his head and did not speak, the old lady Xie saw her desolate expression, her heart ached like a knife, and she comforted softly, "Good boy, you will find your husband's family and me in the future, although the original wife's grandma is more reluctant. , It’s just a house fill, it’s even better if there is someone who doesn’t ask about your background, if you don’t like it for a while, then I will discuss with your second aunt and allocate you to your second brother.”

Wu Wang was taken aback, thinking that this old lady would mess up the mandarin ducks in a hurry!So he twisted his body in her arms and said coquettishly, "Don't tell the second aunt anyway, otherwise I won't be able to live in her garden anymore. The second elder brother is going to be an official, let people know that his father-in-law is for Gao The emperor beheaded, how could he gain a foothold in the officialdom."

The old lady Xie saw that her eyes were bright, and she was so humane, she couldn't express the feeling in her heart, so she could only caress her face and said, "It's hard for you to think carefully, am I confused, it's embarrassing for your second aunt .”

The grandparents and grandchildren whispered some private things again, and suddenly heard the maid outside say, "Master is back!"
