After dinner that day, Hui Niang seemed to have made up her mind and put down the chopstick bowl, which shocked the whole family.

"Um... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." Apologizing first, Huiniang spoke, as concisely and clearly as ever, "I have thought about it, and asked Nianfu and the eldest young master of the Ouyang family to go to the capital to find her.

father."

ah?

The whole family's jaws dropped. Madam Hui pointed at Nianfu in an imposing manner, "You go and clean up the dishes first, and I'll discuss things on the road with your grandma and grandpa."

How could she not be allowed to participate in such a critical moment? Nianfu didn't want to leave, but her mother forcibly drove her away. She wanted to hide back and eavesdrop, but the doors and windows were all closed, and Huiniang lowered her voice to discuss it with the two elders.

Nian Fu leaned against the wall and eavesdropped, but he didn't hear a word.

Why does this feel a bit like selling piglets? Nianfu pouted and went to wash the dishes.

In the house, Huiniang told her parents about her struggles these days.

"I don't think Mrs. Li's family is bad. How can our family be so strong? But after all, Nianfu's surname is Mu, not Shi. Her father left me such a little bit of flesh and blood. If I can't let her marry

If she comes from a decent family, what should I tell her father when he asks me about her in the future?"

Father Shi nodded understandingly. Although he and his son-in-law didn't get along for a long time, he could see that he was a truly good man from a good family. He had such an indescribable style in every move he made.

To put it bluntly, even Ouyang Kang may not be able to catch up.

Hui Niang wiped her tears, lowered her head and said, "I also know that it is not easy to find someone as wealthy as the Hou family. But I always thought that if I could marry a scholar, even a poor scholar,

.In the future, if her father knows about it, it will be better than a rough country guy who cannot read a single word."

But Aunt Shi also wiped away her tears when she heard this, "But if it really happens, the one who will suffer in the future will be the one who prays for blessings. Even if it sounds nice to be a scholar, if you can't do the job, wouldn't you be worse than a rough man?"

Huiniang said, "I also have this worry, so when my mother mentioned the matter of the little tiger next door, I didn't nod or object, right? But now, the old lady of Ouyang's family has given us another way out."

Ouyang family.

Dinner had also been finished long ago, but unlike the calmness of the Shi family, the old lady's room seemed a bit busy. In fact, it was not too busy. It was just the old lady asking the girl to hold the candle high and holding Ouyang Kang's hand, all the same.

Show him the contents of the box.

"This cloud gauze quilt is light and warm. The cotton cover has been sewn on the outside. Don't be too rough. It's better to be simple when you go out. Even those clothes I have chosen for you are all plain materials. Remember, don't do it when you are in trouble.

When you take the initiative, remember not to reveal your wealth."

"Thank you grandma for your teaching. My grandson will remember it."

"This pack contains various commonly used pills such as Po Chai Pills, Purple Gold Tablets, and bruises. They are no better on the road than at home. If you feel any discomfort, take medicine as soon as possible. Don't show off."

"Don't worry, grandma, it won't happen."

"This is a set of pots and pans specially made for you by the blacksmith. It is made to be small and exquisite. It is convenient for you to take on the road to make tea and cook, and you are not afraid of falling. Don't be lazy, remember to drink hot water.

Don't make do with hot rice. It's just that the iron will burn very hot when heated, so be sure to wrap it in a cloth when you take it. This is all prepared for you. Oh! Have you brought the medicine to treat burns? "

Grandma He said hurriedly, "Take it, take it, take a look if you don't believe me!"

The old lady felt relieved, but saw her grandson holding her hand and becoming silent.

Sensing that he was in a bad mood, the old lady hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

Ouyang Kang lowered his head and rubbed the back of the old man's hand with brown spots and wrinkles like chicken skin with his thumb, silently.

The old lady suddenly understood. Her eyes became wet and hot, but she suppressed the sourness in her heart and smiled, "Silly boy, I know you can't bear to let go of your grandmother, but when a boy grows up, how can he not go out and have a career? Do he want his grandmother for the rest of his life?

holding your hand?"

Ouyang Kang finally said in a muffled voice, "It is a blessing to be held by my grandmother for the rest of my life."

The old lady's tears fell instantly. She quickly turned her head away and tried her best to blink the tears out of her eyes before turning around and said, "You kid, why are you bringing grandma's tears before you leave?"

The old man wanted to laugh, but his voice became hoarse as he spoke. Ouyang Kang leaned over, hugged the old man, and choked with sobs, "Grandma, I can't let you go..."

The old lady was speechless. She just held her grandson tightly, who had been the size of a pillow, and pulled her grandson, who was much taller than herself, little by little, with tears streaming down her face.

I can't bear to leave! I really can't bear to leave. If possible, the old lady would really like to go on the road with her grandson, but is this possible? Impossible.

This New Year, Mr. Wu Mianwu told them the news that the imperial court issued a summons for aspiring young people from all over the world to come to Beijing for selection and appointment. The old lady didn't believe it. Her son was in the capital, under the emperor's feet, even if he was just an official as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, how could he

Do you know? But he didn't send a servant back to mention it, and he didn't even send a word back. What should the old lady do?

Sending the grandson to the capital can be said to reunite father and son, or it can be said that the grandson is getting older and needs his father's teachings. But if he goes with him, where will the grandson's father's face be put?

As the eldest son, he did not take care of his mother and left him in the countryside for many years, so that the mother dragged her eldest grandson from the countryside. Isn't this looking for work for the censor?

So no matter how distressed and reluctant she was, the old lady had to be ruthless and send the grandson she had raised single-handedly out of the house.

Now that the luggage is all ready, there is only one annoying thing that still needs to be waited for someone to reply.

Shi family.

The parent-teacher meeting has entered a secret stage.

Unconsciously lowering his voice to a very low level, Father Shi had been persuaded by his daughter and only quietly asked about the most important thing, "It is not impossible for Nianfu to go to the capital with the Ouyang family, but can there be elders following her along the way?"

For a little girl, reputation is important."

Aunt Shi also nodded repeatedly, "How about you come with me? We two old guys can make some tofu and cakes, and we can still eat. How about recruiting an apprentice?"

Hui Niang shook her head, "How can we afford to hire someone if our family is so poor? I'm not worried about your elder brother being in poor health. Besides, going to Beijing is not cheap. How much will it cost for food and accommodation for a few months?"

It’s not easy for someone to take Nianfu with them, so how can I have the nerve to ask? Her old lady said that there are no elders following her, but there is a young boy and an older aunt. The main reason why I asked Nianfu to follow her is because she is smart.

, and I know how to cook. If nothing happens along the way, that’s it. If there is something really wrong..."

"So what?" The two elders mentioned their old sweetheart at the same time.

Hui Niang whispered something in their ears. The two elders looked at each other and each lowered their head to think for a long time. Then Aunt Shi nodded and said, "The old lady is a real person, and this is not a lie to us."

But Father Shi said, "There is no basis for what you say! No matter if they want a certificate or token or something, if they really have something, we can't let our girl suffer."

When Madam Hui heard this, she said, "Then your second elder also agrees?"

The two elders looked at her again, nodded at the same time, and then sighed, "There is nothing we can do about this. I just hope that the journey of reciting blessings will go smoothly, and nothing will go wrong, so that I can find her father later."

"Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore." Father Shi waved his hand, "Now that we have decided, let's quickly pack the girl's luggage. Don't let anyone look down upon you."

But Aunt Shi said angrily, "You shouldn't show off even when you are out, let alone the young master of the Ouyang family. If you are dressed in fancy clothes, it will be considered as if nothing is wrong. In my opinion, just read a few old clothes."

Just wash her up and bring her some more money. When she gets to the capital, it won't be too late to buy new clothes."

This makes sense, but Madam Hui smiled and said, "I have an idea for this, which is better than dad's."

The two elders stared wide-eyed, what's your idea?

At dawn the next day, the third wife of Ouyang's family had just gotten up and had breakfast when the third master, who was indifferent to everything, suddenly asked something, "Is that Sister Mu still in the house?"

The third wife was stunned, "What do you want her to do?"

Could it be that the old man is lustful? Or does he want to find a new aunt according to those standards? Then she will definitely not agree!

Ouyang Yu smiled and said, "You don't know, that girl is famous now. Everyone says she is a filial daughter. Yesterday, when we went out to have a drink, Zhang Yuanwai asked me about it. He said that if she was still in the house, he wanted to send her away.

Someone send me some money."

"Why are you giving her money for no reason?" The third wife was even more surprised.

Ouyang Yu explained in a good-tempered manner, "I heard that this girl borrowed five hundred taels of silver from the Hou family in Xuancheng last time for a lawsuit. Originally, the two families were going to get married, but the parents of the Hou family boy went back on their word, which made

The marriage was not concluded. The matter gradually spread from Xuancheng, and everyone wanted to help. However, the lawsuit was decided by the county magistrate, so it did not violate the regulations. It was hard for everyone to say openly that the government had made the wrong decision.

, I can only stuff money secretly."

The third wife seemed to be gloating about her misfortune, "To put it bluntly, she deserves this. Beauty is a disaster. Why do you want to recruit people when you have nothing to do?"

"Shut up!" Ouyang Yu said angrily, "Now everyone is praising this girl for her loyalty and loyalty, but why are you so vicious? Is it wrong to have a good family? That's the beauty of heaven and earth. You can't bring trouble to the trouble!

"

The third wife was so choked that her face turned blue when Ouyang Yu snorted coldly and said, "Go, go to the accounting office and get twenty taels of silver, and then give it to this girl when you get back. People are sending money to help this girl pay off her debts. Let's

How can you not express your gratitude? Don’t say those words outside just now, otherwise people will poke your spine!"

The third wife was so stunned that she vomited blood, but as soon as she turned around, a servant came to report, "Mrs. Mu is here with someone. She has gone to the backyard to see the old lady."

That's just right. Ouyang Yu glanced at the third wife and said deliberately, "Invite someone over later, and I'll reward you personally!" (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations, monthly votes, and your support.
