old house bird thing

Three days later, Xiangxiang followed the second aunt back to Yunsheng Town, and the second aunt was full of joy on the way.All women are like this, especially this kind of little woman, accompanied by a son who can make her proud in front of other women, she seems to grow taller suddenly, and she wants to let everyone who knows her know.

There is no need to report first when entering the gate. A group of country gentry are already waiting at the gate surrounded by Mr. Du, and even hung up two strings of firecrackers.

"Yu'er, you're back." Master Du walked down the stone steps tremblingly, with the look of a wanderer who hasn't returned for many years, and the old father was very excited when he saw it.

A squire in a blue robe followed Master Du and comforted him, "Brother Yunlian, don't be so sad, otherwise my nephew will definitely blame himself."

The other squire also looked sad, as if moved by the scene of fatherly kindness and filial piety in front of him, he said with a straight face: "That's right, that's right, today is a good day for my nephew to return home, brother Yun Lian, don't make your nephew feel uncomfortable, Quickly let my nephew take a seat in the house."

Master Du stepped forward to pat Xiangxiang on the shoulder and said to the crowd: "It's because I haven't seen Yu'er for a long time, and I miss it in my heart, but I made all my friends laugh. Today is a good day for my son to go home. You must show respect Come down and drink."

The blue-robed squire immediately flattered and said: "Father and son's nature, how can I laugh at you? My nephew is so successful now, I envy you but I can't envy you. Although the sage said: 'Parents are here, don't travel far', but my nephew wants to serve the country. The reason why I stay away from my parents at home is that brother Yunlian has taught you well this time, and it can better reflect brother Yunlian's integrity. I will take advantage of the reunion of brother Yunlian and my nephew to ask for a glass of wine with the cheek drank."

Xiang Xiang rolled his eyes in his heart, 'Who is your good nephew? ', with a smile on his face, he returned the gift to the blue-robed squire, and followed Master Du into the gate of the house.

Because it is winter, the courtyard is a gray dark green. It has not changed much after five years. He is like a slow-moving old man, enjoying his own spring, summer, autumn and winter. People are born, grow up, age, and die.

As soon as Xiangxiang entered the hall, he entered the banquet. The hall was burning with charcoal fire, which was a little hot.Xiang Xiang and Master Du sat at the head of the round table, the rest of the country gentry lined up in turn, and Du Liangmo sat at the second seat to accompany the wine.At the banquet table for the female guests, the second concubine and the eldest wife stood at the head seat together. The rest of the female guests were the family members of the country gentry, and Master Du's concubines did not sit at the table.

After drinking for ten days, the blue-robed squire got up and toasted Xiangxiang with a glass of wine, and then asked curiously, "Is my nephew working under Minister Liao now?"

Xiangxiang said: "I'm just the secretary under the minister, so I can't say I'm a high-ranking person."

The blue-robed squire said: "My nephew is humble. Now that the Kuomintang has established a government in the whole of Guangzhou and drove away Chen Jiongming, the general trend is bound to change. The future of my nephew is bound to be limitless with Minister Liao, and he will be named a marquis in the future. This is also the glory of our entire Yunsheng Town."

Xiangxiang smiled and remained silent, Master Du laughed and said, "Your brother is joking, how can the dog stand up to such a high reputation, children, don't praise him badly."

The blue-robed squire said: "Where is the reputation, it is clearly that brother Yunlian and nephew are too modest. The so-called dignified gentleman, shining brightly, is a role model for my generation."

The blue-robed squire's surname is Li. He is a wealthy gentry in the village. He has countless fertile land in his family and many wives and concubines. His ancestors were officials in the Qing Dynasty, so he speaks sour and polite. He is refreshed and has a smile on his face.After listening to the squire's praise, the conversation changed: "My nephew is now considered successful and famous. I just need to get married and start a business. I don't know if my nephew has a wife after all these years?"

As soon as this remark came out, Xiangxiang immediately became the focus of the meeting, and everyone looked at him. Xiangxiang could only smile honestly, and shook his head to express that he was not yet married.

The blue-robed squire expressed great interest in this, and after a while, he talked about his daughter He Xiang who had just turned 14 years old in front of everyone, from her daughter's beauty and wisdom to the family history of the two families, Inside and outside the words revealed the meaning of wanting to get married, and many squires present showed expressions of ridicule and disdain for him.

At this time, a young man sitting at the last seat suddenly threw the teacup heavily, and the tea splashed all over the table. Everyone fell silent, and Master Du looked at the young man's face darkened.

"Liangwen! What are you doing!" Du Liangmo yelled at the boy with a cold face, "Go back to your room and stay."

The young man was only fifteen or sixteen years old, with a thin appearance. At first, Xiangxiang thought it was a guest who came to drink. After hearing Du Liangmo call him Liangwen, he realized that it was actually his cheap brother, the son of the fifth concubine, Du good writing.

"He Xiang is going to marry me! Such a person who stole from his father's concubine is also worthy of marrying He Xiang. It's disgusting to see you bowing to him." After all, he is only a 15-year-old child. , the words in my heart poured out without going through the brain, and everyone's expression changed for a while, and even a few squires bowed their hands to Master Du, and then they got up and said goodbye.Xiangxiang was also taken aback, he didn't expect that his younger brother's sweetheart would be introduced to him.

Master Du's face was ferocious like a ghost, violent and rough, he winked at Du Liangmo.Du Liangmo stood up and walked towards Du Liangwen step by step. Before Du Liangwen could speak, he was slapped hard on the face.That slap was so hard that Liangwen staggered and his head fell to the ground, several servants stepped forward to carry him out.There was no second sentence, Master Du and Du Liang stood up with a smile and apologized to everyone, but this little episode finally caused everyone to laugh behind their backs, and a good welcome dinner ended hastily.

In the evening, the second concubine scolded the fifth concubine and Du Liangwen in the Xiangxiang room: "We, Yu'er, are willing to go home after seeing my mother's face, and these villains just can't see me It's a good thing, if you have to fix something, don't you want to drive my son away again, this time the matter is not so easy to end, I have to deal with them."

Xiangxiang said: "Didn't you always teach me to be patient? I think you should calm down and don't be as knowledgeable as them."

The second aunt hummed and said: "That was in the past, now my son is out to make a fortune, why should I bear them?" The second aunt seemed to remember something, and she said to Xiangxiang: "I didn't expect so many people with heads and faces to come here." Is your current official really that big? I only heard the master say that you are a secretary for some minister, and you are so good as a secretary?"

Xiangxiang said: "Secretary is just a small civil job, not really a job, and now it's the Republic of China, not in the Qing Dynasty when 'one person attains Taoism and ascends to heaven'. The old ideas of these country gentlemen have not changed. I don't think so at all. What is it?"

The second aunt said: "Even so, my son is the most promising. If that bastard Liangwen makes a bad face in front of his face, the master won't let him go."

Xiangxiang shook his head and smiled, "I came back this time and felt that my eldest brother seemed to be a different person, and he became more polite to me."

The second aunt said proudly: "Is he welcome? The decent big house is still relying on us now."

Xiangxiang was puzzled: "How do you say that?"

The second aunt smiled too much and did not speak, but Chunyan who was on the side said: "Missy is 17 now, and in a few days she will marry into the family of the elder in the provincial capital and be the young mistress of the third master. If the elder didn't look at us The second young master is now making a fortune outside, how could he let his son marry the eldest lady?"

Xiangxiang listened to Chunyan talking about "elder master, third young master" and almost lost his head. Only then did he realize that Du Liangxin was going to marry someone, and he was marrying the third son of Master Du's cousin He Haozheng.He Haozheng's family is all in the provincial capital, and their status is naturally higher than that of Du Yunlian, a rural landlord. Du Liangxin's marriage can be regarded as high-ranking.
