Aunt Gu opened the courtyard door, and stood at the door with Min Zhenru in her arms, but no one came in, but was sobbing and talking to the people outside.

"I said Mr. Jiang, thank you so much today, if it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to Xiao Ru'er today!"

Then came Mr. Jiang's voice, "Ma'am, you don't need to say such polite words. If you just met on the road, there would be no reason not to help. Driving on the street and not stopping when you see a child in front of you is really too much." Damn, how can such a domineering person be tolerated under the feet of this majestic emperor."

Aunt Gu sobbed and said, "The more you are at the feet of the emperor, the more this kind of thing will happen. In this capital, the emperor's relatives, high-ranking officials and nobles, these people will not be mentioned. There are also such people's domestic slaves, and they are more common than others. Domineering and arrogant, even if the car hit Xiao Ru'er just now, there are so many people on the street, who would dare to come out and uphold justice. Hey, I only regret that today is not what it used to be, and people are not expensive anymore. I can't help it..." Then there was another burst of tears.

Min Zhenru was hugged by Aunt Gu, and stretched out her fat hand to wipe away tears for Aunt Gu, saying, "Grandma, I'm not hurt, don't cry."

At this time, he was very well-behaved.

Aunt Gu then nagged Min Zhenru again, "My little Ru'er, my darling, I won't dare to take you to the street in the future, and you run to the middle of the road in a blink of an eye, don't you know there are carriages and horses? There are no carriages and horses, and you were kidnapped by someone, how can you let us live! My little ancestor, why didn’t you hear about it~”

Min Zhenru was wrinkled by Mrs. Gu's words, and put on a look of admiration, "I won't dare in the future, grandma, don't cry."

When Min Changqing heard this, he walked to the door and took Min Zhenru from Aunt Gu's arms, and said, "Aren't you being misbehaving again? You have to make your father worry about you to death."

Aunt Gu thanked Young Master Jiang again and again, calling him a benefactor.

Rong Jian is very modest. He heard what Aunt Gu said just now. It seems that the Min family used to be a wealthy family. He was a little puzzled, because he still had something to do, so he didn't say much. After comforting Aunt Gu, he turned around and went back without staying to eat. Mouth tea.

After entering the house, Aunt Gu told what happened today. She carried Min Zhenru to the Nanhuo shop to buy needles and thread. Thinking that summer was approaching, it was usually the time to make summer clothes, so she went to cloth Zhuang looked at the fabric, then put Min Zhenru on the ground, the child ran outside the fabric shop, stood on the street corner, looking at the stall selling croquettes, Mrs. Gu was about to carry him back, when she saw a carriage Driving over, the carriage moved slowly, probably because he thought the child knew to get out of the way, so he didn't stop all the way, but Min Zhenru looked at the croquette stand but didn't know how to move, so he didn't give way, and was almost rubbed by the carriage. Mr. Jiang passed by, and the servant beside him ran over and quickly hugged Min Zhenru away.

Passers-by on the road didn't pay much attention to such an episode, but Mrs. Gu was very sad and kept complaining, and then thanked Mr. Jiang repeatedly.

Aunt Gu was sad not because Min Zhenru was almost rubbed by a carriage on the street, but more because she lamented the huge difference between the past and the present.

Back then, the Wu family was a wealthy family with rich clothes and good food. The young masters and girls would not suffer a little. They lived in a big house with carved beams and painted buildings, with rockery and pavilions in the courtyard. Fresh and precious fruits, delicacies from mountains and seas, everything is exquisite, but I still dislike these.

Up to now, the Wu family has collapsed, the past days are gone forever, and they still have to live in hiding, not daring to stand out in the slightest.

Moreover, Xiao Ru'er is the grandson of the eldest son of the Wu family Jingui, standing on the street longing for the croquette stand, she was almost rubbed by someone else's car, and the car left without stopping at the end, He didn't take Xiao Ru'er seriously at all.

Thinking of these, how can you not feel sad.

There is a complete gap between the past and the present, and everything in the magnificent past suddenly seems like a dream.

In fact, it's not that there is no delicious food at home, or it's not because they can't afford it.

Not giving Min Zhenru the croquettes outside is because Aunt Gu thinks that fried meatballs on the street are clean, and she is afraid of hurting Min Zhenru's stomach, but this child wants to eat those things.Aunt Gu babbled about this, wiped her tears and sighed, felt sorry for Xiao Ru'er, and said that she would give him fried fish balls for lunch, so she got up and went to the kitchen to cook.

Xiao Ru'er didn't quite remember the danger just now, when she heard that she was going to eat fried fish balls, she became happy and followed Aunt Gu around.

Therefore, children are the most worry-free.I don't want to think about what's there or what's not, the glory of the past, and the silence of today.

During lunch, Aunt Gu talked about the morning with Min Xiang who had walked out of the study. Min Xiang frowned at Min Zhenru, thinking that he was almost trampled by a horse because of eating before, and now it is like this again, so she said , "Don't let him go to the street in the future, or at least two people will guard him. If something happens, it's not a joke. Every year, there are children who are injured and killed by a carriage on the street. Usually, they only pay a few money. Few people go to the yamen. Even if they go to the yamen, whoever hears that there is a reward for life, it’s just a few money. However, people are dead, so what’s the use of paying for it. Xiao Ru’er is too disobedient. I'll lock you up at home later."

Hearing what his father said, Min Zhenru was about to cry with tears in his eyes, but Min Xiang ignored him.

Aunt Gu was still sighing, "Why not? If it was back then, the Wu family still..., Xiao Ru'er should be a noble son, how could such a thing happen."

Min Xiang stopped Mrs. Gu from continuing to chatter about the past, and said, "Mama, let it be like this, don't talk about it, don't think about the past, it's meaningless. People always look forward. Compared with people who have left, we are like this It’s not bad. Let’s have a good time now.”

Aunt Gu still looked sad.

Min Changqing didn't say anything, just put vegetables into Min Zhenru's bowl, telling him not to eat only meat.

And Min Zhenru is still a child who doesn't understand anything, so he can't understand the adults' sighs, and only cares about eating his own.

After dinner, Min Changqing was going to work in Wenhua Garden, where he worked as a piano teacher and usually only worked for one afternoon.

Wenhuayuan is the most famous elegant garden in the capital, which is equivalent to a high-end brothel, except that most of the girls in it are entertainers and not their bodies, and they only receive people with status.

In the afternoon, the girls inside would probably get up, and there were no guests yet, so it was at this time that they learned to play the piano.

Most of Min Changqing's teachers are little girls, and the famous ones have already been listed, which means that they don't need to learn anymore after they have learned something.

Min Changqing's job was out of necessity, after all, there was no other way to make a living, and even Mrs. Gu couldn't say anything about him.

He also got to know the owner of the antique shop because of this job. After bringing the painting home for the first time and asking Min Xiang to help repaint it, Min Xiang became very famous in this industry in private, although these people have never met This master of painting, but through Min Changqing, he often asks Min Xiang to make fake paintings, and he also repairs the damaged paintings for some reasons.

Min Xiang's fees are very high, and in a short period of time, the family has a lot of money, but this is a life compared with ordinary people.

Min Xiang told Mrs. Gu a few times, saying that she would buy another girl or boy to go home and help with chores, but Mrs. Gu was always unwilling. She was afraid that if she accidentally revealed something in the family, people would find Min Xiang It turned out to be the young master of the Wu family. When the time comes, the higher-ups will investigate, and this will be a matter of life.

Although in these years, the emperor did not pay any attention to the Wu family back then, but after all, he was going to live in fear for the rest of his life.

After the meal this time, Min Xiang talked to Aunt Gu about buying someone back again, but Aunt Gu still refused, and Min Xiang couldn't do it, so he stopped talking.

In order to thank Mr. Jiang for saving Min Zhenru, Mrs. Gu fried a lot of fish balls, so she brought a bowl to Jiang's yard. The door was opened by a servant woman in her forties. She said her surname was Sun, and she called her San Niang is fine.He is a servant of the Jiang family, and this time he is here with the young master to take care of his daily life.

Sun Sanniang was very grateful for Aunt Gu's fish balls, and asked her for advice, so Aunt Gu didn't talk much to outsiders, and this time she talked with Sun Sanniang at Jiang's house for a whole afternoon.

Then he secretly looked at the furnishings of Sun's family, and saw that they were all really impressive things, so he knew that Jiang's family was indeed well-off, and he must be a son from a scholarly family.

When asked about Mr. Jiang, the servant woman said that she had gone out to visit friends, and she was not sure when she would come back.

Aunt Gu couldn't ask any more questions, even if she inquired about the Jiang family's affairs, Sun Sanniang was very measured and didn't talk about the main family's affairs.

In the afternoon, Min Xiang taught his son a lesson, told him not to run into the street in the future, but to pay attention to safety, and then taught him to write and taught him the Three Character Classic.

After a while, the little girl from the Chen family next door knocked on the courtyard door, holding a small basket in her hand, and said that she would come to pick some wisteria flowers to make cakes at his house.

Min Xiang sat in the shade of the wisteria trellis, asked his son to read the Three Character Classic with him, and let the little girl pick the flowers by herself.

Xiao Ru'er read a few sentences, then looked at the little girl again.

This little girl is the girl who said she would give him food when she bought mochi. She is only eleven or twelve years old, but she is already very lively and well-behaved. After picking flowers for a while, she also sat down and listened to Min Xiang read the Three Character Classic. Then he asked, "Young Master Min, you have a good literary talent, why don't you become a teacher?"

Min Xiang replied lightly, "It's just a few words, I don't dare to teach bad people."

The little girl's name was Chen Jiayao, and she giggled, "If you only know a few words, the adults in the court can only know a few words."

She looked at Min Xiang with a sweet smile, and Min Zhenru yelled, "Go back quickly, Daddy wants to teach me to read."

Chen Jiayao got up and went out with the basket, then turned around and said, "Thank you for the flowers in your family, I made cakes, and I'll bring you some as well."

Min Zhenru didn't appreciate it, and said, "No, Grandma Gu will do it."

Chen Jiayao was still smiling at him, and walked away slowly. Min Xiang saw that someone was going out, so he said to Min Zhenru, "Don't be rude to young ladies, be polite to girls, that's what a gentleman should do."

Min Zhenru said bluntly, "I don't want to be a gentleman."

Min Xiang laughed, "Why?"

Min Zhenru opened his big eyes and said angrily, "She asked me if it would be good to be my mother, but I don't want it. I don't want to be polite to her, and I don't want to be a gentleman."

Seeing him like this, Min Xiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and said, "I always thought you were a little fool, but I didn't expect you to be smart at times."

Min Zhenru was dissatisfied with what Min Xiang said about him, and said, "No, Grandma Gu has always praised me for being smart. Yesterday Uncle Jiang also said that I am smart."

Min Xiangdao, "That's a polite word, you really took it all. Hurry up, read this once."

Min Zhenru sat in his father's arms, pointed to the words in the book and read them word by word.

On this late spring afternoon, the sun shone through the wisteria tree on the ground, leaving spots of light, the breeze blew through, and the spots of light shone gently. Colorful pictures.In this quiet yard, you can grow with time.

This is the real life, whether it is ordinary people or dignitaries, this is the most constant and warm thing, and it is the real history of mankind.

Min Xiang hugged his son, and seemed to feel that all this was satisfaction.

It has been more than a year since he returned to the capital, he has never been to the inner city, he dare not go to see Rong Jian again, he dare not go to the old house of the Wu family, he dare not touch everything before.
