Chapter 128: Uncle and Uncle Worship Jiufang (Seeking Monthly Pass)
Chapter 128: Uncle-in-law worships the Ninth House (asking for monthly votes)
After the ceremony, the guests and hosts sat down and talked a few words about their family affairs. Then Wang Ning asked about Liu Wanshan's family members.
When she heard that Liu Wanshan had been married for many years and had four sons and one daughter, Wang Ning nodded and said: "Dashan, what Dalang's mother was most concerned about during her lifetime was the life-long events of her uncle. If she knew underground that he had blood,
My heart is at peace."
Mentioning his deceased sister, Liu Wanshan felt sour in his heart and said solemnly: "I took the liberty to come to the house today. I couldn't bring my wife and children directly over to make trouble for the old lady, so I stayed at home. My sister and brother-in-law are there, and my nephew wants to take the children to see her."
Look, there is Dalang. As my uncle, I haven’t even seen him. I knew about his arrival and arrest from my sister-in-law’s family letters..."
At that time, the two brothers and sisters were joking and said that they wanted to kiss each other. But it turned out that after many years of marriage, his wife had no children. Finally, when his wife became pregnant and had a hard time during childbirth, the matter of getting married naturally fell through.
Although there is a nephew in front of me, it is hard to talk about getting married.
Talking about her deceased daughter-in-law, Wang Ning was already a little uncomfortable, but now she couldn't stand it when she heard the mention of her elders. She hurriedly lowered her head and pressed the corners of her eyes, forcing a smile: "It's a rare time to come back, so I should go and have a look.
Let's see when my uncle is free and let Erlang take you there."
Liu Wanshan stood up and said: "If it's cheaper for my aunt, my nephew would like to bring my wife and children over to pay your respects tomorrow, and then I'll trouble Erlang to take our family to see my sister and brother-in-law."
Wang Ning said: "What's not cheap? Serious relatives should move around more. But it's the twelfth lunar month and the weather is freezing. The adults are fine, but the children are precious and light a few sticks of incense for their aunt at home."
That’s all, there’s no need to make these false etiquettes.”
Although these words were well-intentioned, Liu Wanshan did not respond and only said: "I have to meet their aunt and uncle. I don't know when I can return to my hometown next time."
Seeing him like this, Wang Ning couldn't stop him anymore, so he told the specific location of his tomb.
Liu Wanshan opened his mouth and made an appointment to bring his wife and children here tomorrow, and then set off from here to the Wang family tomb.
After Liu Wanshan finished talking about his business, he was about to get up and say goodbye when Jingzhe came in and came closer and said: "Old lady, young master, there are guests outside the door."
Wang Ning and her Taoist ancestors and grandsons looked at each other and remembered yesterday's post, knowing that it was probably Uncle Cui who had arrived.
Liu Wanshan just assumed that there was a visitor, so he stood up and said: "Since my aunt has a visitor, my nephew will not disturb her. He will go home first and come back tomorrow."
Wang Ning didn't know the purpose of Uncle Cui's visit and didn't know what would happen next, so he didn't stay with the guests and ordered Dao Chi to send them out. The old man hesitated at the door of the south hall and went back to the second door first.
I thought that no matter what the purpose of Uncle Cui's visit was, he was Erlang's biological uncle after all. Although he was not as good as Uncle Liu in terms of status, he was closer than Uncle Liu in terms of human relations, so it would be better to give them two uncles and nephews time to talk.
The Taoist idiot sent Liu Wanshan out of the door, and saw a man standing outside the door. He was tall and tall, with slender eyebrows. He was surrounded by several servants and stood there. In the hands of those servants, they were carrying a lot of things, large and small bags, some of which were exposed.
Made of silk and satin.
Although Liu Wanshan brought his servants and prepared New Year's gifts, he was not so exaggerated.
Liu Wanshan was slightly startled, not because he was shocked by the grandeur of the visitor, but because he felt that the handsome young man in front of him had an elegant appearance, but standing there, there was a coldness about him. He glanced at the entourage behind him, most of them were strong and strong men.
.
What would a person like this do if he comes to visit?
Liu Wanshan was a little worried and asked in a low voice: "Who is the visitor?"
The Taoist idiot also replied in a low voice: "If the prediction is correct, he should be my biological mother's brother, and he has been away from home for many years."
Liu Wanshan was surprised when he heard this, but he didn't want to ask any more questions. He was his uncle by name, but his bloodline was cut off somewhere. The person who came here was Erlang's uncle, but he was too young. He didn't know what he did for a living.
He looks wealthy, but he doesn't have the vulgarity of a businessman.
Cui Hao's eyes were already glued to Dao Chi.
Looking at his thin body (actually he is growing), he is covered in fine cloth clothes, no silk (a habit of Taoist idiots, they prefer cotton at home), and his kind appearance, and then think of his sister, Cui, who has passed away many years ago.
Hao's heart ached, and he said tremblingly: "But...but Erlang?"
Dao Chi nodded and said, "Your surname is Cui?"
It wasn't that he was hesitant, but that like Liu Wanshan, he also noticed something strange about the visitor. Dressed like this, at first glance, he looked like a wealthy businessman, but the entourage around him was too fierce.
In addition, the visitor looked a bit too young, looking like he was in his early twenties.
Cui Hao had already taken two quick steps forward and said: "My surname is Cui, and my only name is Hao. I am your mother's brother." As he spoke, he saw that Liu Wanshan was dressed as an official, and hesitantly said: "This is
yes?"
The Taoist idiot said: "This is my uncle."
After answering, Dao Chi turned to Liu Wanshan and said, "Uncle, this is my uncle." Then he said to Cui Hao, "Uncle, this is my uncle."
Both ends have their surnames removed, and there is no distinction between far and near.
Liu Wanshan glanced at Dao Chi, raised his hands to Cui Hao and said, "Liu Wanshan, I have met Uncle Cui."
Cui Hao was thinking that this "uncle" was the cousin of the Cui family. When he heard Liu Wanshan's words, he realized that the other person was the uncle on his nephew's name tag.
He didn't want to see Liu Wanshan in his heart, but he stretched out his hand to avoid hitting the smiling man. And in front of his nephew, he said politely: "It turns out it's Brother Liu Shi, and my younger brother Cui Hao. We are polite here."
Liu Wanshan was a wise man, so he greeted Cui Hao, and after a few polite words, he got on the horse carriage and went home.
The Taoist Chi invited Cui Hao into the gate. Cui Hao waved his hand, and several strong men followed him carrying gifts.
Entering the courtyard, Cui Hao frowned when he saw the narrow corridor; when he arrived in the south hall, he saw the narrow room and the old furniture around it, and his face tensed up.
When I received the gift, I relaxed a little and looked at the Taoist with more loving eyes.
The Taoist idiot asked Cui Hao to sit down and served him tea himself. His scalp felt numb.
Liu Wanshan also said that people in their forties and fifties can be kind with "kindness" on their faces; here, Cui Hao, with his young face and eyes full of "kindness" is really intolerable.
It would be fine if the other party said something to stop me. It would be the difficulty of not returning to my hometown for many years, the helplessness of not having heard from me, etc.
No, Cui Hao just looked at him without saying anything.
This look makes my teeth hurt.
The Taoist idiot couldn't see through Cui Hao, so he just sat down and made quail without taking the initiative to speak.
After another cup of tea, Cui Hao gritted his teeth and said: "Good boy, I will never let you suffer again! Those people owe you, and I will help you get it back!"
Hearing this, Dao Chi raised his head and looked at Cui Hao's brows and eyebrows. He couldn't help but ask: "Brother-in-law, what is your honor this year?"
Cui Hao was stunned when he heard this nonsense question. After a while, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I am five years younger than your mother, and I am twenty-seven this year."
After hearing this, the Taoist idiot continued to ask: "My uncle has been away from home for fourteen years?"
Cui Hao nodded, with a look of sadness on his face.
According to Wang Ning's knowledge, Cui Hao ran away in anger after little Cui took her into the twelfth room as a concubine. Calculated from this calculation, he was only thirteen years old when he ran away, which is about the same age as Taoist Chi.
Liu Wanshan is also looking for a living outside. He is a thirty-year-old man. Even if he is not a Jinshi, he has been working hard in the scholarly world for more than ten years. He has the reputation of being a scholar and is not afraid of traveling all over the world. He is a courageous person.
In the official administration of the court, people can be promoted to officials, but Liu Wanshan chose the road of being a curtainman, and he went to a remote area like Lintao Prefecture, which was considered courageous.
From being a staff clerk to being a general judge, Liu Wanshan finally made it through.
Although Cui Hao didn't hear him mention what life was like outside, a thirteen-year-old boy who was not even a boy, how could he live a good life away from his hometown?
Thinking of this, the Taoist idiot looked worried.
At this time, the population is moving, but relevant documents are needed. It does not mean that if you are half the age and want to run away from home, just go out for a walk. If you do not have the documents issued by the local government, then you are a homeless person.
Isn't this my little uncle a wild person?
When it fell into Cui Hao's eyes, he would never have imagined that Dao Chi was really worried that he was not innocent, and thought that his nephew felt sorry for him who had endured hardships outside these years.
He took a long breath and said with a smile: "The difficult days are over. My uncle cannot guarantee you glory and wealth, but he can guarantee you a life of prosperity and success!" There was confidence and pride in his voice.
At this point, he pointed to the pieces of silk and cloth on the ground and said, "That's the meeting gift that my uncle brought to you old ladies." He then pointed to the other two feet-long boxes and said, "That's the meeting gift that my uncle gave you."
.”
After that, he took the purse from his waist and handed it to Dao Chi: "This is the seal of Shenglong Bank in Wuchang Prefecture. With this, you can withdraw five hundred taels of silver from there every year. It is the pocket money given to you by your uncle. I wanted to buy it.
I will purchase land and buy property for you. However, the Wang family clan is too domineering in the Anlu world. You are a foreign wife here and you are young. The sudden increase in property will attract people's attention and attract others to be greedy. Your royal family is accompanying you.
Your identity can intimidate outsiders, but it cannot stop the Wang family. It is better to keep silent about getting rich, and there is no need to show off your wealth in front of others. When you grow up, support your family, and no one dares to bully you, my uncle will help you buy a property."
These words are inconsistent with Cui Hao's current attire.
However, this also shows that Cui Hao was very concerned about his nephew. In order to make his nephew look good, he dressed extra solemnly.
Cui Hao was able to do this for his nephew, and he was a person who valued friendship, but Dao Chi couldn't accept it. Five hundred taels of silver a year was not a small sum. No matter how Cui Hao earned it, Dao Chi had no shame.
Sit back and enjoy the results.
He said sincerely: "Brother-in-law, there is no shortage of money at home now. I accept your brother-in-law's wish. This money should still be left to my cousins."
Cui Hao listened with confusion on his face: "Cousin, cousin? From your cousins' families?...Why don't I give the money to my own nephews, but to those people? I won't give it, half a cent."
I won’t give it to you either. My family property will be left to Erlang from now on..."
