Chapter 80

Sincerely Mrs. Uncle Mrs. Lu is not really sick, she is just pretending.The reason for pretending to be sick is because of Lu Lian, the eldest son of Lu Hanlin, the grandson of her sweetheart and grandnephew of her natal family.The Lu family was originally a famous family in Jiang County, but it gradually fell into decline, and there were not many outstanding children in the family.Mrs. Tai is kind and never forgets her roots. Even though Lu Hanlin was only a well-known recruiter and his family business was very depressed, she resolutely married the eldest daughter.

After marriage, they had two brothers and sisters, Lu Lian and Lu Xiaolin.Lu Lian's appearance is delicate and elegant, and his temperament is easy-going. He is loved by Mrs. Tai, "Lian'er is a child like his grandfather." He is really a good descendant of the Lu family.

Lu Lian is studious by nature and loves reading.This spring, Lu Lian and two classmates went to Liaoyang to visit the great scholar Zhou Laoshan.Master Zhou Laoshan used to teach in Xishan Academy, he was proficient in classics and righteousness, and the craftsmanship was rigorous. Lu Lian and others listened to Zhou Laoshan's two-day lecture on homework, and they all felt enlightened, and the trip was worthwhile.

Now that he has arrived in Liaodong, Lu Lian must visit his second uncle Jiang Yu.Although Jiang Yu has not been back to Beijing for many years, there are always letters and gifts during the holidays.Not only Tai Furen's office, Chengyi Bo's office, but also Lu's family, never missed a second or half time.Although Lu Lian had never met his second uncle, he had received many gifts of ginseng and mink fur, so he naturally knew that his second uncle loved him.

In a quiet and elegant courtyard on the outskirts of Liaodong, Lu Lian met his second uncle, second aunt, cousin Jiang Wu and cousin Jiang Xiaohan.The moment he first met Jiang Xiaohan, Lu Lian, who has always been gentle and polite, couldn't speak, stuttered and confused, and his handsome face turned into a big red cloth.

After Lu Lian returned to Beijing, he begged his parents and grandmother to marry Jiang Xiaohan.His mother, the Jiang family, is the daughter of the uncle's family. She is proud and arrogant, and she really doesn't want to marry a girl who grew up in a remote wilderness. "She grew up in Liaodong. How can there be a girl in the capital who is demure and elegant?" Lu Hanlin didn't quite agree. , "It's better to be a girl from a scholarly family." How knowledgeable and courteous.Mrs. Tai frowned even more, "Your second uncle was not smart since he was a child, how could his daughter be any better?" She really didn't like Jiang Yu, and she didn't even like his children.

The elders who have always loved him all shook their heads, and made Lu Lian lie down in the bedroom with his head covered and fell asleep angrily, neither eating nor drinking.But after two or three days, the Jiang family panicked first, and Lu Hanlin sighed, "Let him alone." Although I don't know how she looks, the daughter of the Jiang family's first wife is not far behind.Even if it's really bad, anyway, I'm still young, so I just need to teach it carefully in the future.The parents were relieved, Lu Lianfang got up and ate his food.

In Mrs. Tai's mind, marrying into the Lu family is an honor, ordinary women are not worthy of it.Her old man made a special trip to Liaodong with his confidant, Nanny Lu, "Look carefully and see how Miss Six is ​​doing and how her temper is." She was afraid that Jiang Xiaohan would do something wrong and tarnish the Lu family.

Mother Lu returned to Beijing and reported in detail, "Miss Six is ​​14 years old this year. She is slender and taller than Miss Fourth and Miss Fifth. She has snow-white skin, a pair of almond eyes that are gentle and clear, and has a good-looking face. She is also quiet, Wait for peace. Marriage, because the sixth young lady is young and has not yet reached the age, a few colleagues came to talk about it, but the second master and the second wife did not agree." Lu Nanny is the first person sent by the sincere uncle's mansion for so many years. Jiang Yu and his wife were overjoyed when they went to Liaodong to visit, and they treated her politely and thoughtfully.Nanny Lu has a big heart, so she was naturally moved and said good things.

Mrs. Tai was not very satisfied, "Taller than four girls and five girls? It's not good to be stupid and big. Girls, it should be too long to add one point, and one point to be subtracted is too short." Although disgusted, she nodded her head .There's no way, who made her feel sorry for her precious grandson.

The marriage of the eldest son should not be ignored.Lu Hanlin wrote a letter, asking Jiang's in-laws, Liaodong Dusi experience Yu Dong and his wife to be matchmakers, to propose marriage at Jiang Yu's residence.The Jiang family, Lu Hanlin, and Mrs. Tai all felt that the Lu family had a clean and upright family style, that Lu Lian was young and handsome, and that he and Jiang Xiaohan were cousins, so this marriage was sure to be a solid one.

Jiang Yu refused.His precious daughter is determined to marry a hero, and a frail scholar like Lu Lian simply dismisses her.Jiang Yu and Lu's family only have one daughter, Jiang Xiaohan, who share the same fate. If she doesn't like scholars, she won't marry them.

Jiang Yu refused very tactfully, "Lian'er is a good boy, but it's a pity that he has no fate with the little girl. Since the little girl was born, a master has told her fortune for her, and she is not allowed to marry a man who is a rat." Lu Lian is a rat. .

When the news was sent back to the capital, Mrs. Tai slapped the table, "It's against him!" This person who doesn't know how to flatter is born to toss others, and his mother almost killed him by tossing him!Liu Yatou grew up in the countryside, and it was her luck that the Lu family saw her, so she was pulled up!
Mrs. Tai wished she could go to Liaodong in person, Xingshi blushed angrily, and sneered again and again, "Mother, your little son is very airy!" It's just an excuse for incompatibility of zodiac signs.Unexpectedly, my younger brother, who was taciturn and stupid since childhood, would look down on his Lian'er.

After coming and going, Mrs. Tai became "ill".One letter after another flew to Liaodong, Jiang Yu had no choice but to bring his wife and children back to Chengyibo's mansion to serve the sick.In the past two years there has been no war in Liaodong, the border is peaceful, and my mother is sick again, how can I not return to Beijing.

Today is the fifth day that Jiang Yu's family returned to Beijing.During the past few days, Mrs. Tai condescended, and personally mentioned "Liu Yatou and Lian'er are a good marriage", but Jiang Yu and his wife refused to answer.Lu Shi took Jiang Xiaohan even more seriously, walking together during the day and sleeping together at night.Poor Lu Lian was so in lovesickness that he couldn't even get a chance to be alone with Jiang Xiaohan, so he was in a hurry.

About this way, I started to make crooked ideas. "I guess Lu Lian is conceited of his talent and looks, and wants to find a quiet place to impress Miss Jiang Liu with words." Shen Chen laughed.Lu Xiaolin lured her unfamiliar cousin into the plum forest and left. Afterwards, she sat in the pavilion and did not intend to bring anyone to "encounter".It seems that the Lu brothers and sisters are very confident.

Impress Miss Jiang Liu with words, dare to hit my daughter-in-law's mind?Zhang Yu was furious, put down the wine glass in his hand, "The sparse shadows are horizontal and slanting, making people linger." He also wanted to go to admire the plum blossoms.Lu Lian, that stinky boy, just missed a few kicks, and he was not relieved, so I went to make up a few more kicks.

Fourth Master Xie stood up slowly, "Wuji, you and I will go together." Zhang Yu laughed, trying to push Fourth Master Xie back, "Wan Hong, we are on our own, you don't have to accompany me." How can you hit someone with your hands?

A faint smile floated on the jade-like face of Fourth Master Xie, "Wuji doesn't know something, my Meilin can't go alone. There are flower fairies in the forest." If you accidentally collide, the flower fairy will not be polite to you.Wuji, no matter how good your kung fu is, can you beat an immortal?

Both Xie Yannian and Xie Tangnian served beside their father.Xie Yannian was slightly surprised, "Father, are there flower fairies in the plum grove?" Why have I never heard of them.Xie Tangnian was serious, "Yes, I have seen it with my own eyes." His face was like snow, peerless and stunning.

Husband-in-law of Aunt Xie's aunt, Yu Hanmin, is always funny and the best at joking, so he came over with a look of interest, "Yan'er, you've been studying all day, but you've become stupid in reading. Is there such a flower fairy? Naturally, there really is one. Your eldest aunt told me that she met her in Taikang Meilin when she was young." Huaxian has aura, and Xie's family is in Taikang, so she is in Taikang; Xie's family moved to the capital, so she naturally followed Beijing.

The father is definitely not lying, and the younger brother looks serious, it doesn't look like a joke.Even my uncle said so, it must be true.Xie Yannian suddenly realized, no wonder his grandmother and mother always told him when he was young, "Yan'er, don't go to Meilin alone." It turned out that he was afraid of bumping into the flower fairy.

"So that's how it is." Zhang Yi walked up to Xie Tangnian, and said emotionally, "Brother Sui told me no less than eight times, and told me not to go to Merlin alone. Only now did I realize that it turns out that brother Xie is caring and caring. For me." Xie Tangnian glanced at him indifferently, "It's easy to say, easy to say."

Ms. Xie Jiaqi's birthday banquet was very grand, with a lot of distinguished guests, and the guests and hosts had a good time.The only bad thing is that among the visitors from the outer courtyard, there was a naughty young man who said he was "changing clothes", but actually went to Meilin alone to enjoy it.Unfortunately, he met a flower fairy in the forest.The people at the same table have been waiting for him for a long time, so they have to go out of the hall to look for him.As a result, I found it under a plum tree that spit out rouge and was fragrant, and I fell into a coma.Everyone hurriedly carried him out and asked for a doctor to treat him.It is said that he will rest for several days after returning home before he can get out of bed.

No one cared about it. "Young people don't know the importance of things." You go to someone's house as a guest, why run around alone?The food and drinks at the banquet are exquisite, and the drama is lively. Those who don't drink or listen to the opera, go to the forest to "meet the fairy"?Don't even look at what you look like, can a fairy fall in love with you?Overreaching.

Miss Xie Qi's birthday party ended grandly and satisfactorily.

A few days later, on the third day of the twelfth lunar month, Miss Xie Er left the cabinet.Because the family has been separated, Dengshikou Street has not sent out any invitations.How much face can Xie Sanye have as a master of the seventh rank?Therefore, there are not many relatives who come to marry.Second Miss Xie's marriage was rather silent.

The third wife cursed for a long time. "A family with no conscience, don't take the third master seriously!" Even though he was a bastard, he was also born to the old man, so he ruined it like this.Marrying a daughter is not as good as a little girl's birthday, which is too deceiving.

Feeling really angry, the third wife made a special trip to Dengshikou Street and confided with the fourth wife, "Sister and sister, you are too good-tempered to let a concubine go crazy! Her mother bought Xie's house with a few strings of money. Damn girl, she is on par with Jin Er now!"

The fourth wife knew that she was trying to stir up trouble, so she just smiled lightly, "The Xie family is generous, and has always brought up the sons and daughters of the concubine and the daughter of the concubine together. But this is the concubine, the concubine is the concubine, and it can't be changed anymore." Inside the gate of the house, Xiaoqi is not too different from Jin'er, go out and take a look.Which wife, wife, will wait to see the young lady.

The third wife sneered and said: "I didn't say you were too honest! Take a look, the four brothers of the Xie family, which house is like yours? The room before the men get married, or die or marry, or Spend the days in desolation in the back house. How can you look like the one in your room who has scheming and tricks, and has children? With her background, she dares to do this, and she is not afraid of losing her life." You still don't hurry to clean up Let her go, what to do with her.

The fourth wife said sternly: "To tell the truth from the third sister-in-law, although I have lost my filial piety, I still live in a separate room with the fourth master. For nothing else, my mother raised me and her kindness is as heavy as a mountain. No matter what I do, I will do it. Keep filial piety for her old man for three years! Since I keep filial piety, Fourth Master must always have someone to serve her. Auntie Yuan and Auntie He are all in order. With them, I will save a lot of worry." You still have the face to teach me, It's funny.Whether I am good or bad, I am always better than you.Do you have to make trouble like you, and the men who make trouble won't go home?Your own home is restless, so you come to instigate me, it is really sinister.

The third wife was tongue-tied and speechless.This married woman is different from a virgin woman, one year is enough to observe filial piety, why three years?Seeing the solemn, dignified and righteous appearance of the fourth wife, the third wife had nothing to say and fled in despair.

The fourth wife kept mourning for her late mother for three years, many relatives and friends knew about it, and they all praised it.The Han family, Han Siye's pedantic temperament, greatly agrees.Mrs. Han knew that her mother-in-law had acted inappropriately, and Fourth Master Xie had a grudge, so she gave her full support. "Sister, you are a good girl educated by the Han family." She only hoped that the times would change, and after three years, Fourth Master Xie would gradually forget about the past and no longer care about the riot in Puji Temple.

After the third wife left, the fourth wife closed her eyes and prayed for a while.After a cup of tea, Huai Chu, the eldest girl, was called in, "In the past few months, who has taken care of fourth master's daily life?" Since the house was divided, she stopped asking about fourth master Xie's daily life.It's not that I don't care, but I'm afraid that after asking, my heart will hurt.

"Return to Mrs. Yuan: Auntie Yuan has always been in poor health, and often suffers from illness and pain. The fourth master will visit her every three to five days, sit for a while, check the pulse case, but rarely stay overnight. On weekdays, Auntie He takes care of her Yes." Huai Chu replied cautiously.

The fourth wife was silent for a while, then waved her hand feebly, ordering Huai Chu to retreat. "There are scheming and means", this He Li, maybe it is really scheming and means.In the evening, Xie Yannian came to say hello, the fourth wife couldn't hold back her tears, "Yan'er, you must surpass Xie Tangnian, you must surpass Xie Tangnian!" Let's compare.

Xie Yannian hurriedly wiped away her tears, feeling baffled, "Mother, my homework has always been better than my sixth brother. But, I hope that he will be as good as I am." Brothers who are united in one heart, their benefits cut through gold.In the future, after taking the imperial examination and becoming an official, should I have a younger brother who is useless and incompetent and needs to be supported by myself, or should I have a younger brother who is also in the officialdom to help each other?
The fourth wife is so angry that her liver hurts.His eldest son's appearance, temper, and demeanor are all like his grandfather.It's a good thing to be a human being, but being ignorant of world affairs and being pedantic and rigid really makes people anxious.

Xie Yannian is stupid in reading, not smart at all.Xiao Bai'er is still young and doesn't understand anything.Among the two sons and one daughter, Xie Jinnian is the one who is the most caring and comforting to the fourth wife, "Mother, my brother is a bit rigid, but he is generous and kind. It's not a bad thing. Don't worry about it. If you want your brother to be lively, It's better to put two people with aura and winks beside him." Xie Jinnian said implicitly.

This makes sense.The fourth wife thought so deeply, and she really wanted to add a girl to Xie Yannian.In Xie Yannian's room there were two connected rooms, because they were brought to him on a snowy day, Xie Yannian casually named them Xuexian and Xueru.Xuexian and Xueru both have thick eyebrows and big eyes, red lips and white teeth, and they are also fluent in writing, but they are not very intelligent.

"If you want to add it, I will add it to the sixth brother. Don't favor one over another." Xie Jinnian said with a smile.Every time she goes out as a guest, there will be girls who take the initiative to get acquainted with her, and ask Xie Tangnian explicitly or secretly.Xie Jinnian is very proud of this outstanding concubine elder brother.

"Let's go, I don't care about that kind of business." The fourth wife smiled and shook her head, "Let your father worry about it." I really mentioned that I would pick a girl for Tang Nian, but Yulang said, "He is weak. Two years", this is no wonder others.

In Jingxin Courtyard, He Li and Fourth Master Xie were also discussing the same thing. "Yulang, really don't you want to pick someone for Tang'er?" The two wore light purple nightgowns of the same style and color, talking on the bed.

"Tang'er is still young, in two years' time." Fourth Master Xie said leisurely. At the age of 16, the blood, muscles and bones are not yet strong, so why worry.The voluptuous purple color makes Fourth Master Xie's complexion paler, his hair darker, and his hue more attractive.

"Yulang was also sixteen back then." He Li turned his head to look at Fourth Master Xie, with naughty tenderness.Nowadays, it is said that "a man breaking Yang too early will damage his essence, and a woman breaking Yin too early will hurt his blood", why didn't he pay attention to it back then.

"Back then, you were the one who seduced me." Fourth Master Xie smiled lightly, stretched out his slender and graceful fingers, and caressed He Li's cheek, "After all these years, Ah Li hasn't made much progress." Introduce the old and bring forth the new, stupid Ali.

He Li kissed Fourth Master Xie's fingers, and gently pulled open his belt, "Where is Yulang, have you made progress?" Fourth Master Xie raised his hand to take off the curtain hook, and the autumn-colored brocade curtains dragged on the ground, He Li's eyes darkened, The lips have been kissed by him, "Ah Li will know after trying it."
