Zhang Yun's ancient life

The excitement at the gate of the Guan family's old house quickly spread throughout the town, and continued to spread outward.

Since that day, the Guan family's old house has been closed to welcome guests, and no one is allowed to enter or leave without permission.Except for the doctor who would come to their house regularly to give follow-up visits to the old lady, only the woman in charge of the kitchen would occasionally go out to buy some ingredients.

Uncle Guan and his wife shrank their heads and dared not go out to meet people, and mobilized all their connections to find Guan Rong's husband's family.Second Aunt Guan had to look at her daughter who was looking for death and life all day long, and she had to carefully pry out the old lady's tone, and she also had to prevent the servants from going to the old lady's place to gossip. After a few days, she was exhausted physically and mentally. It's like I've aged several years all of a sudden.

In the early morning of this day, the doorman came to report that the uncle had returned, Second Aunt Guan immediately became nervous and said to her husband: "He came to see our joke, you bastard who made trouble."

"Say a few words less, save your energy and deal with him. I'll go out and have a look first." Second Uncle Guan said as he walked beside him.

Seeing that her husband had gone out, Second Aunt Guan turned around and went back to the back room, sat down in front of the dressing table, looked at the bronze mirror, felt that her head was a little empty, and her complexion was not very good, so she put on some rouge, and chose another Two gold hairpins were inserted into the head.

Looking carefully again, she felt that something was still missing, and said to the maid beside her, "Ruyi, go and take out the mink fur shawl I made years ago."

The maid asked in surprise, "Ma'am, it's only the beginning of September, and it's not time to wear leather."

"Take it if you're told, there's so much nonsense here, go quickly." Second Aunt Guan scolded.

The servant girl didn't dare to reply, so she went to the winter wardrobe to find out the shawl, handed it to Aunt Guan and said, "Madam here."

Second Aunt Guan took the shawl handed over by the maid, put it on her body and asked the maid, "How is it? Does it look more expensive?"

The servant girl didn't even dare to raise her head and returned obediently: "It's better than before."

Second Aunt Guan felt satisfied now, and walked towards the lobby with her maid.

Before entering the door of the lobby, I heard the two brothers' conversations. Second Aunt Guan walked in with her chest up and her legs raised, and she said as she walked, "What kind of wind is blowing this time? Why are you sending brother off?" coming?"

"I'm here to see mother." Uncle Guan glanced at her and said.

"Didn't you just come here two days ago? My mother is very good. You don't have to worry about it. The doctor said that she needs to rest more and can't always see guests."

Then he saw the basket on the table and said: "Hey, come if you say you want, what else do you bring, you have everything in the house, and you don't lack anything..."

She stopped there before she finished speaking, because she saw the hard-boiled red eggs piled together in the basket, densely stacked several layers, Uncle Guan saw her saw it and said: "Yesterday, your sister-in-law gave me a lot of eggs!" You have added a nephew, I'm here to see my mother's body, and I'll give her the good news by the way."

Second Aunt Guan clenched her hands into fists and her body was trembling. Seeing her like this, Uncle Guan frowned slightly and turned to his younger brother and asked, "What's the matter, brother and sister? Why are you shaking?"

Second Uncle Guan replied in embarrassment: "She has recently contracted a cold, and her body is a little weak. Maybe she feels cold."

"Oh, that's right. No wonder you even took out the leather and put it on, so let her go back to the house to rest. I'm not an outsider, so there's no need to come out to receive her."

Then he took out a few boiled eggs from the basket and said, "I'll take these to my mother, and you can keep a few, and ask the servants to share the rest. I have already been to the patriarch's place. One has a happy event, and everyone is also happy, and you must come when the child is washed, our house has not been so lively for a long time."

After finishing speaking, he didn't look at Second Aunt Guan who was standing there, but got up and said, "I'm going to see my mother."

Seeing this, Second Uncle Guan hurriedly got up and said, "I'll accompany you."

After the two of them left, Second Aunt Guan swept a basket of eggs to the ground with her hand, raised her leg and stomped on the eggs on the ground, gritted her teeth and said, "Guan Cheng, you are too deceitful, you have only raised a son for a few days , I can’t count a slap, so I dare to come to my old lady to show off, be careful that your son’s life is light but he can’t live in wealth, and ask God to take it back.”

The Guan brothers came to the mother's room. The old lady had just taken the medicine and was resting on the bed. Seeing the elder son and the younger son coming in together, she asked, "You brothers have free time today, come to see me, the old lady?"

Then she saw the red egg in Guan Cheng's hand and immediately asked excitedly: "Boss, did your wife give birth? Is it a boy or a girl?"

Guan Cheng said with a smile: "Well, the delivery room I entered the night before gave birth to a boy last morning, but he is fat. I came here today to say good news to you."

The creases on the old lady Guan's face opened when she heard the music, and she said: "It's a boy, it's great, it's enough for your daughter-in-law after giving birth for one night, and you can go back from my bird's nest in a while, and I'll give it to you." Daughter-in-law replenishes her body."

Uncle Guan didn't answer his mother's words. He put the egg in his hand on the bed, took out one from it, and cracked it on the edge of the bed. Egg, you can eat one."

The old lady Guan took the boiled egg handed over by her son, took a bite with a smile and said: "It's delicious, it's really delicious. It's been a long time since I have eaten such a delicious boiled egg. Boss, now you can count on this one. I feel relieved, even if I close my eyes, I still have the face to meet the ancestors of the Guan family."

"Mother, from what you said, it's so difficult for you that you don't want to watch your little grandson grow up, marry a wife and have children? Our family is still waiting for four generations to live together." Uncle Guan said, "You don't have to forgive me. Heart, I know my own body, I should have gone to see your wife and children, but my body is becoming more and more useless for these people, and it is difficult to even stand up." The old lady said, "It should be It was she who came to greet you, so there is a rule for you to go and see her, and when the child is full moon, I will let her bring the child to let you see enough." Uncle Guan said.

"That's good, old lady, I'll wait at home." After speaking, he put the half egg left in his hand on the bedside, looking very tired.

Seeing this, Uncle Guan got up and said, "Mother, you are recuperating in peace of mind, and your son will not bother you anymore. In a few days, my son will bring his whole family to pay your respects." Then exited the door.
