Daiyu's life

Chapter 14

Jia Min still really remembers what Mrs. Zhang would like to eat. At the beginning, Mrs. Zhang’s favorite dessert was Lotus Cake, a Shandong snack, but she always disliked that the cook at home made it unauthentically. Zhang would often make it by himself and send it back. Then I ate a lot, and I still remember it now.

After talking to Jia Min, Jia Lian took Wang Xifeng to Jinan on the third day. According to the agreement between Wang Xifeng and Daiyu, Jia Lian did not go directly to Zhang's house, but booked an inn for Wang Xifeng to stay in. Jia Lian found out The Zhang family’s cemetery is there. I took the sacrificial offerings and the lotus leaf crisps that Mr. Zhang loved most, and I went to the Zhang family’s cemetery. The ancestral graves of such prominent families as the Zhang family are always watched by people. Jia Lian didn’t enter at all. No, but Jia Lian was not in a hurry, knelt for half a month, and finally got the Zhang family to kneel, but they didn't say they wanted to see him, but drove him away.

But Jia Lian just knelt and cried and said, "I don't have the face to bother my uncle and cousin's cleanliness, but I dreamed that my mother said that she was thinking about her parents in her hometown and drinking a cup of tea at home, so she came here cheekily and didn't ask to see my uncle." Forgive me, let me go in and offer incense to my grandfather and grandmother."

The cousin of the Zhang family was crying so much that he had no choice but to sue Uncle Zhang. In the end, Jia Lian got what he wanted. Jia Lian is also a ruthless person. He does nothing every day. When the skin was rubbed off, he finally entered the gate of Zhang's house.

Jia Lian entered the gate of Zhang's house, but Uncle Zhang didn't see him, so he gave him a bag of tea and told him to leave. Jia Lian said to his cousin Zhang Liu who came to see him off, "I don't have the face to see Uncle Zhang, just thinking if I can Let’s take a look at the yard where my mother used to live.”

Cousin Zhang Liu was a little embarrassed, and Jia Lian saw it and said quickly, "Look, I said something stupid, so I offended the female relatives. I beg my cousin to show me where my uncle and aunt live."

Cousin Zhang Liu couldn't bear it. Jia Lian is now seven or eight years younger than Cousin Zhang Liu, so she said, "Auntie's yard is still there. None of the children in the family live in it. I can't take you there now. Change it tomorrow." Chance."

Jia Lian was overjoyed when he heard this, but with tears on his face, he said, "My uncle and aunt miss you." Looking at the direction of Zhang Liu's cousin, he kowtowed three times hard, and his head was broken. Didn't come out to take a look.

Jia Lian didn't say anything more, and left the Zhang family. Zhang's aunt, Jiang Shi, looked helplessly at her old man's stubborn look and said, "Since my nephew has found it by himself, why bother you? Why don't you take a good look at it? It’s also good to look at your nephew, now there are still a few of you old men who are worried about it, and when you are gone in the future, who in this family will remember the nephew, and don’t let them get in touch with each other while they are young!”

Uncle Zhang snorted fiercely and said, "Who cares about that unfilial thing of his, his mother went there early because of him, but he was raised by someone for a few days, and his mother didn't even recognize him!"

Mrs. Jiang was really helpless, she could only sigh and continued to persuade, "What do you say, what can a child remember? My nephew was taken away by Mrs. Shi at such a young age. She didn't teach my nephew to call her mother, so where would my nephew know?" "

Uncle Zhang flicked his sleeves and left without saying a word. Jiang Shi knew that this man wanted to see him, but he was embarrassed to say so. Thinking that Jia Lian had entered the door twice, the old man must have softened his heart, but after waiting for a few days, Jia Lian did not come to the door again. Seeing Uncle Zhang's face getting darker and darker, he had no choice but to send cousin Zhang Liu to inquire about it, but when he came back, Uncle Zhang couldn't sit still!

Jia Lian was sick, and he didn't get out of bed after returning from Zhang's house. Uncle Zhang asked repeatedly, "Why did they get sick so well? How did their Jia family raise their children so that they are so weak!" Cousin Zhang Liu wiped his forehead Khan said, "The doctor said that my cousin is depressed. In addition, I haven't had a good rest a while ago. My cousin still hurt his head that day, and the medicine he took was not very good. Together with these things, my cousin will be fine." Sick, my cousin is in a hurry now."

Uncle Zhang said angrily, "He brought his wife with him, why don't I know, how does his wife take care of him!"

Cousin Zhang Liu really felt that he was wronged, but he didn't dare to defend himself, saying, "My cousin took my cousins ​​to visit the graves of my grandparents. The cousins ​​came with my cousin that day, but they didn't come in. They were still outside the house." I kowtow to you and mother in the carriage."

Uncle Zhang became even angrier when he heard the words, and said, "You bloody bastard, why don't you answer me for these things!" He rushed to cousin Zhang Liu's head with a teacup as he said that!

Mrs. Jiang saw that the tea on her son's head was gone. Cousin Zhang Liu said it was the sixth, but this was the overall ranking of the children of Uncle Zhang's three brothers and three families. In fact, Mrs. Jiang's son was also the youngest son. In his 20s, one can imagine how much Jiang loves his little son.

Mrs. Jiang said loudly, "Why did you lose your temper with your son and blame others for not telling you, and you didn't think about how to tell you, and you were kicked back before you reached the door. Well, I won’t say it at the beginning, that’s what the Jia family did too much, but now that the nephew has come here by himself, you still can’t see Joe, why are you so angry now, if something happens to the nephew, I see what else you have Face to see my sister."

Uncle Zhang was scolded without saying a word, cousin Zhang Liu wished to find a crack in the ground to sneak in, and in the end it was Mrs. Jiang who spoke and asked cousin Zhang Liu to take Jia Lian and his wife into the mansion.

Wang Xifeng just changed Jia Lian's handkerchief, and said with some distress, "We can't think of other ways, the second master insists on making fun of his body."

Jia Lian touched his forehead and said, "It's not impossible to take it slowly, but we still have so much time, and now I see that my aunt and cousin have accepted it, and my uncle has never been soft-hearted, and I have no choice but to be ruthless." gone."

Wang Xifeng said, "I don't think uncle is soft-hearted. Maybe we will visit the door a few more times, and uncle will see you. When you first went to the ancestral grave, not even a servant dared to talk to you. Now not only After entering the door, when I went to kowtow, my aunt brought out something, so I said it’s good to go a few times.”

Jia Lian said repeatedly, "Forget it, I'm already like this, what are you talking about." Wang Xifeng spat hard and said, "You don't know good people."

Didn't disappoint Jia Lian, cousin Zhang Liu came with someone before night, Jia Lian is still a little weak now, seeing cousin Zhang Liu said, "Cousin why is here again, I have nothing to do now, it's making my cousin tired gone."

Cousin Zhang Liu said proudly, "We are all of the same family, what are you talking about, let the cousins ​​clean up our house."

Jia Lian smiled at first, and then said hesitantly, "Uncle, but"

Cousin Zhang Liu said in a low voice, "Actually, my father has wanted to see you for a long time, but he was stubborn. I heard that you were ill the day before yesterday when you came back. Let my mother tell you. man prepared his carriage."

When Jia Lian entered Zhang's house like this, Uncle Zhang didn't say anything else when he saw Jia Lian, but told Jia Lian to take good care of his illness. Looking at Uncle Zhang's slightly flushed face, Jia Lian smiled inwardly.

Mrs. Jiang looked at the haggard Wang Xifeng and said, "I have wronged you during this time." Wang Xifeng shook her head and said, "I'm not wronged. The second master hasn't come to greet my uncle and aunt for so many years. It's our fault, and my uncle is also in a hurry. Now I can't tell. Why do you feel sorry for the second master?"

Mrs. Jiang smiled gratifiedly, and said, "It's not that your uncles don't miss you, but" thinking that Wang Xifeng is not only the granddaughter-in-law of the Jia family, but also the daughter of the Wang family. It's hard to tell her too much. You shouldn't hear anything bad from yourself, just watch and think about everything yourself.

Then Mrs. Jiang said, "Good boy, I have suffered a lot from you. Go back and have a rest. Lian'er is still pointing at you." Wang Xifeng agreed. Worried about leaving the root cause of the disease, Jia Lian and his wife were allowed to take care of them for another two days before they came out for a walk.

Uncle Zhang didn't wait for Mrs. Jiang to pull Jia Lian to have a good talk, so he slipped him into the study in the front yard.

Uncle Zhang said, "You didn't study well in Beijing, why did you go to your aunt's place? How did you know to find me?" Jia Lian and Wang Xifeng agreed when they came, saying that the mansion just told Jia Lian that his natal family was gone. After arriving in Yangzhou, I heard from my aunt that my uncles were in Jinan, but I didn’t have the face to come. I just dreamed of Mrs. Zhang and thought about it, so I found them. Alright, but Uncle Zhang is very angry.

Jia Lian was afraid of getting angry with this uncle who had finally met, so he quickly said, "It's all my nephew's fault. When I was a child, I believed it if I believed it. When I grow up, I still believe it. It's my nephew's fault. It’s not that my aunt mentioned that my uncle’s family is now in Jinan, and my nephew may not know it for the rest of my life. Knowing this, my nephew feels very uneasy, but I have no face to see my uncle and aunt, but dreaming that my mother misses my hometown very much, my nephew can only You can come here with a thick skin!"

Uncle Zhang couldn't easily hold back his anger, and said, "Tell me about how you have lived these years."

Jia Lian didn't exaggerate, and said directly, "When I was young, I was raised by the old lady. When I was four years old, the old lady came in and moved back to live there for a while. Later, I got sick and moved back to the old lady's place. Brother Zhu from the second uncle's family got married the year before last. My aunt saw that I was only helping my second uncle with running errands and helping my second aunt collect rent. It was really not good, so I wrote to my father and called us to come over. , said to take care of the family property in the south of the Yangtze River, but actually asked my uncle to teach me. I donated a five-rank official position to me, and my uncle helped me move around. Take office."

What he said here was reserved, but Wang Xifeng didn't have these worries on his side. He cried for a while, and Wang Xifeng said in a hoarse voice, "Auntie, you don't know how difficult it was for the second master. The monthly rules in the house are just like that. A little bit, it was enough when I was young, but when the second master grows up, he doesn't have any money to go out to treat guests and eat wine. Our master is careless, and we can't think of these small places. Unexpectedly, my aunt picked us up last year and said that she wanted to find a real vacancy for the second master. I was worried that my money in the press box was not enough. I took out all the good things I bought! That’s why it didn’t make things difficult for my aunt!”

Wang Xifeng talked about a lot of small things, and Jia Lian was almost like a cabbage. At first, Uncle Zhang just disliked Jia's family for not raising Jia Lian well, but Jiang thought more. Hearing Uncle Zhang lose his temper for a long time at night, Then he said, "At the beginning, my sister's dowry was the first share in our Jinan, and it was counted in Beijing. Not to mention, the rent in those farm shops alone was almost 1 taels a year. At the time, my mother was afraid You brothers were not happy, and you even went to me and my younger siblings, saying that there were a lot left by my grandmother to my younger sister, and there were so many things from the family, but why did I listen to Lian’s daughter-in-law, she and Lian are now The living money in my hand is all based on the dowry of Lian's daughter-in-law!"

Uncle Zhang just has a bad temper and hates evil like hatred. It's not that he has a low IQ, otherwise he wouldn't be able to be the Zuodu Yushi at the beginning. If it's not in Lian'er's hands by now, I'll go to their Jia's house and ask."

Mrs. Jiang was also a caring person, and asked Wang Xifeng around the corner. After all, she still knew that Jia Lian's biological mother's dowry was not in Jia Lian's hands, so she told Uncle Zhang.

Uncle Zhang didn't say anything, but sent someone to check the Zhuangzi shop where Zhang's dowry was married. When Jia Lian and his wife asked for it, they found out that the Zhuangzi shop had changed people a long time ago. It was given to the Xue family in Jinling.

Uncle Zhang refrained from mentioning this, and just took advantage of the remaining time to teach Jia Lian.
