Zhang Yun's ancient life

The next day, Zhang Yun asked someone in the county to help bring back the meatballs. Since he didn't know what kind of meat Guan Jing could eat, he asked that person to buy some meatballs, and then let Guan Jing eat them. Choose to eat, there will always be something that tastes like him.

Guan Jing continued to go to Uncle Guan's house to take care of his mother and younger brother, and Uncle Guan recorded his son's name in the genealogy after offering sacrifices to the ancestral temple. Uncle Guan had high hopes for this hard-won young son. This child will be successful and famous in the future, and I hope he can live a safe and healthy life without any worries.

After struggling for a few days, Uncle Guan named his son Yu, which means beautiful jade, and by extension means a gentleman with the virtue of jade.

Second Aunt Guan's family didn't come when the child was full moon. They just added some things when the old lady sent someone over to deliver gifts, and asked someone to deliver them together.

Uncle Guan took the gift, and then asked the servant who came here to give the gift: "Is there any other orders, mother?"

The servant said respectfully: "The old lady asked you to take the young master back when you have time."

Uncle Guan nodded and said: "If you go back to mother, it means that our family will go back to pay her respects tomorrow."

Then he asked again: "My younger brother and younger siblings are not here this time, do you know what happened?"

The servant replied: "The second wife came to attend the young master's third bath. After returning home, she said that her foot was inconvenient. I invited the doctor to see that it was a bone injury. The doctor prescribed medicine and left a doctor's order saying yes. The injured foot cannot be used for three months. So the second wife is recuperating at home, and the second master didn’t come to take care of her.”

Of course Uncle Guan knew how his brother and sister's feet were hurt, and his daughter-in-law told him everything that happened during the day on the night of her third bath.

Uncle Guan didn't care about the self-defeating of his younger siblings. After sending off the servants in the old house, he and his wife began to pack the things they would use when they greeted the ancestral house tomorrow.

On the second day, Uncle Guan and his wife returned to the ancestral house with their children in their arms and presents. As soon as Uncle Guan entered the house, he found that the atmosphere was a bit wrong, because several prestigious elders in their branch were invited by their mother. Not only that, even the cousins ​​of my uncle and uncle's family who lived in Lingzhen came here, and this formation was definitely not for seeing my newborn child.

Uncle Guan and his wife took their children to the mother's house led by the servants. When they saw the mother was Uncle Guan, they couldn't believe their eyes. The mother on the bed was pale, her eye sockets were sunken, and there was not a trace of flesh on her cheeks. , the whole person was haggard and disappeared.

Seeing this, Uncle Guan hurried a few steps to his mother's bed and asked, "What's wrong with mother? Why did you become like this after not seeing you for a few days?"

The old lady Guan opened her eyes when she heard the voice, looked at him and said, "The boss is here, are your son and daughter-in-law okay?"

Uncle Guan said: "They are all well, I brought them here to greet you."

As he spoke, he brought the child over and wanted to give the old lady a hug.

The old lady Guan did not reach out to hug the child, but leaned on the bed and said: "I don't have the strength, so I won't hug him, and you don't send him to me, be careful to give him a sickness, just hug him to me." Take a look."

Hearing this, Uncle Guan raised his hand and raised his son up, and showed his mother a small face. Mrs. Guan was very happy to see her grandson, and after teasing her for a while, she said to Uncle Guan, "Go and get your uncle, your old uncle, Your eldest cousin and your younger brother called over together, I have something to say."

Uncle Guan responded, handed the child to his wife at the side, and went out to look for someone.

After a while, everyone came together, Mrs. Guan glanced at everyone and said: "Everyone, I want to take care of the family affairs today. I invite you to come here to let everyone be a witness."

Uncle Guan felt that something was wrong when he heard it, and hurriedly stopped him: "Mother, you are in good health, what are you talking about?"

The old lady Guan glanced at her youngest son and said, "I know my body myself, so you don't need to comfort me with good words. You can settle down early and be quiet even if you are recuperating from illness. faster."

Ignoring the youngest son who still wanted to talk big, the old lady Guan asked the old lady beside her to take out a stack of ledgers and a dowry list, and the old lady took the things and said to everyone: "That's all I have. , I took them out today, brother, I told you to remember, please trouble his uncle to take a look at it, these things will be divided according to what I said."

Seeing that everyone had agreed, the old lady said, "I've already made a list of the dowry gifts for Brother Lian and Brother Yu, as well as the dowry for Rong'er, brother, please copy it."

While talking, he took out a piece of paper and handed it over. Seeing that the younger brother took it and picked up a pen to copy the old lady, he said: "The remaining forty acres of land are ten acres for the old family, ten acres for the second child, and ten acres for the three of us." The grandsons each have four acres, and Rong'er is not married yet, so giving her four acres is my addition, and Fu'er and Brother Jing each have two acres."

The old lady paused for a while and then said: "The two stores where I married as a dowry are shared by brothers, and the jewelry is divided into four parts. My two daughters-in-law share one part, and the two women share one part. Fu'er and Rong'er share one part. One, and the other as many as you can take back, and give to my niece and niece of my natal family."

Mrs. Guan's younger brother stopped writing and said, "Sister, they don't need it."

Mrs. Guan said: "Take it, this is my wish as an aunt."

"Then I'll thank my sister for them first." Mrs. Guan's younger brother picked up his pen and continued to write.

The old lady Guan looked at her eldest son and said, "My jewelry is all female. Brother Jing can't use it, so just give him the two jade ruyis that I married with me. The ones in my room All the big and small furniture are given to the second family, all the porcelain ornaments are given to the old family, and my clothes are all the same, none of you can use them, so just go with me."

After finishing speaking, Mrs. Guan put the dowry list aside, picked up the account book again and said: "The harvest of the fields and the rent of the shop over the years are all here, and they are divided into two, and one is given to the two of you brothers. Divide it up, keep a share for those who are not yet married or married, that’s almost all these things, and for the rest of the bits and pieces, you brothers can choose what you like and share it. Brother clerk, you copy it into four copies, each of them has one copy, you keep one copy in your hand, and the other one is his uncle who helped him arrive in the clan and please make room for everyone. I have something to say to the two brothers. .”

Everyone got up and left the house when they heard the words, and the old lady Guan kicked out the maids and women, leaving only the three of them, mother and child, in the house.
