Red makeup against the world

Chapter 31 Single Name "Yi"

After thinking for a while, Mrs. Xu said: "How is this possible? My eldest daughter-in-law saved people back then with a little effort, how could it be worth such a reward?"

Mrs. Han showed a determined look: "Mrs. Xu never forgets to repay her kindness, but we must not forget it. If the old lady refuses today, we will not even be able to eat and sleep well in the future." This is the simple truth of the mountain people.

Seeing her persistence, Mrs. Xu smiled gratifiedly and said: "Okay, okay! The black dog will go to Beijing with us, and there is no need for a prostitution contract."

Han said: "Hei Gouzi has passed this year. If there is no contract of sale, it will be inconvenient to come and go around the old lady and young lady. How can he play the role of a guard?"

Mrs. Han thought carefully, and since the origin of Hei Gouzi was still in doubt, it would be best to have a deed of prostitution in hand.Mrs. Xu agreed, and arranged for a steward to sign a contract of sale.

When the contract was signed, Mrs. Xu signaled the steward to write the body deed silver as 200 taels of silver. When she was about to write down the name of "Black Dog", Mrs. Xu asked Mr. Han, "Do you have a famous name?"

Mrs. Han replied: "His father originally planned to ask Lizheng in the town at the foot of the mountain to give him a nickname when he was ten years old. As a result, in the winter when Heigouzi was eight years old, his father went hunting in the mountains and failed to come out. Never took it."

Xu Wanzhen felt sad when she heard it, and was moved by the simplicity of the mother and son, she said: "Dare to ask Madam, what is your master good at?"

Mrs. Han shook her hands hastily, and said, "Miss, you don't want to be called Mrs. Young Master, I really don't dare to be a little lady. My son learned hunting skills from his father since he was a child, and he went hunting with the hunters in the village since he was nine years old. He endured a lot of hardships and learned a lot of skills. Now he is one of the best players in Yunwu Mountain."

Speaking of her son's ability, her eyes showed a proud light, "He has great strength, among other things, looking for prey traces and laying traps are all skilled jobs, and archery is even more accurate."

The black dog on the side was embarrassed by her praise, and tugged at the corner of Han's clothes.It can be seen that the mother and son depend on each other for life and have a very good relationship.

Xu Wanzhen pursed her lips and smiled. It seemed that the Xu family's bad luck was about to pass. They didn't leave home, and there were such good bodyguards at their door. I didn't expect the simple-looking black dog to be so powerful.Then he said to Mrs. Xu: "Grandmother, since you haven't got a name yet, why don't you give your granddaughter a name?"

Mrs. Xu nodded in agreement.Xu Wanzhen thought for a moment, and said: "Since Heigouzi is proficient in bow and arrow, why not choose a single name 'Yi'. Hou Yi is a great hero who bends his bow and shoots the sun. How about calling him Han Yi?"

"Han Yi, Han Yi..." Mrs. Han chewed on the name several times, and the more he listened to it, the better he felt it, and he hesitated: "But, can my son match the name of Hou Yi?"

Mrs. Xu was in a good mood, and laughed loudly: "The name is good, so it's decided! Although we signed the body contract, but in our Xu family, no one will regard Han Yi as a current person, maybe there will be great luck in the future. "

Han Yi, the name that shined so brightly eight years later, was born in this small flower hall in Suzhou City.

The steward exchanged the deed money into a bank note and gave it to Han, who was surprised: "Why are there so many? We are not for..."

Xu Wanzhen stepped forward, held Han's hand comfortingly, and said gently: "This is not Han Yi's money for selling himself. You raised such an excellent son by yourself, and now you hand him over to us. We have the obligation to take care of him." Good luck with your future life."

200 taels of silver was a huge sum of money in the Gaoman Dynasty.An ordinary family spends only 20 taels of silver a year, and Xiong Xiazi, who Han Yi took a big risk to hunt back a year ago, only sold 100 taels of silver.Xu Wanzhen gave her a mischievous smile, and said, "Since Han Yi has entered Xu's house, we can't let him worry about you, do you think so?"

Xu Wanzhen's hands are fair and delicate, and under the careful maintenance of Madam Zheng, they become softer and smoother.However, due to years of hard work, Mrs. Han's hands are rough and have calluses on her fingers.

The two hands holding each other like this are incomparably harmonious. Mrs. Han was careful not to hurt Xu Wanzhen's hand.

Seeing the Xu family treat each other so sincerely, Mrs. Han was moved. Although Mrs. Xu had left, her daughter was still fine. If she wanted to refuse the 200 taels of silver, her throat was blocked and she couldn't say it.

Seeing this, Han Yi, who hadn't spoken since he came in, knew what A Niang was thinking, and said, "You can accept it, A Niang, and I will protect the Xu family with peace of mind."

Mrs. Xu praised: "Okay! He really is a good man!" After a pause, he said: "It's only the eighth day of the lunar new year. Han Yi can go home and come back after the Lantern Festival with A Niang." The two of them were happy and left. go.

Xu Wanzhen helped Mrs. Xu back to the main room slowly, followed by Biluo and Sangzi.On the way, Xu Wanzhen asked, "Grandmother, there is something unclear about my granddaughter."

Mrs. Xu said: "Just ask."

Xu Wanzhen said: "Since the body deed and silver were given, grandmother allowed them to go home for the festival. If Han Yi doesn't come after this festival, wouldn't our Xu family lose 200 taels of silver?"

Mrs. Xu laughed and said, "You little girl, did you get into money's eyes? Let me ask you, how are the mother and son?"

Xu Wanzhen recalled: "From my granddaughter's point of view, both of them are honest and honest people. Although Han Yi is not good at words, he seems to be a capable person. Han should not exaggerate."

Mrs. Xu nodded, and said: "Zhen'er has a good eye, and what he did just now is also good. Why would you care about the 200 taels of silver again? Controlling people's hearts is a compulsory homework for the master, and it is more important than learning the rules from Madam Zheng Important, it takes a long time to experience."

She patted her hand and said: "I think Han Yi is a person with real skills, and he is worthy of great use. Your mother's kindness can be exchanged for his temporary defection, but his loyalty requires us to pay more." Kung fu. If you can buy it for 200 taels of silver, it will make him feel at ease; if you let him go back for the holidays, you will trust him. Such a man must be given equal respect in exchange for him to be determined."

After finishing speaking, he smiled slyly, and said, "Even if you and I miss each other at the same time, it's only a loss of 200 taels of silver, isn't it?"

Xu Wanzhen laughed when she heard the words, and said, "Grandmother, you are really..."

"What is it really? Is it an old fox?" Mrs. Xu laughed loudly.

Xu Wanzhen deeply admires Mrs. Xu's strength, wisdom, courage, long-term vision and pattern.

In her body, I saw how ancient women supported a family and even the backbone of a nation.

What Xu Wanzhen didn't know was that Mrs. Xu, her boudoir name Tu Qionghua, and her sister Tu Qiongyu were called "Shuangshu in the capital" back then.After Jiji, she is a popular candidate for daughter-in-law among the aristocratic circles in the capital, and the matchmakers are almost breaking the threshold.If it wasn't for the Tu family being reviled, it must be the mistress of a certain duke's mansion.
