Either Cui Hao is unmarried or has no children. The former is fine, the latter may have some privacy. Dao Chi interrupted and said: "It's almost noon, uncle, why don't you have lunch here?"
When Cui Hao heard this, he hesitated and said, "Would it be too intrusive? Although I am your uncle, but you have succeeded here, will the old man think too much about it? I would rather not embarrass you."
Although Cui Hao's "kindness" does not match his young face, it must be said that he is different from Liu Wanshan.
When Liu Wanshan looked at Dao Chi, his eyes were thoughtful and thoughtful, and even though his tone of voice was friendly, it was within the scope of politeness.
Dao Chi believed that if he was not good enough, Liu Wanshan would become even more alienated from him. Cui Hao was different. He did not judge and criticize, but was sincerely concerned.
Even though he is not old enough, he still has the look of an elder, the kind of indulgence that does not ask what is right or wrong.
Dao Chi had nothing on his face, but he was a little touched in his heart. He said softly: "Don't be embarrassed, my grandma is very kind. She has been really good to me in the past two years."
After hearing this, Cui Hao's expression became much softer. He obviously understood that what his nephew meant was "really good".
He said: "I am a junior, should I go and pay homage? Waiting here for the old lady to come out is too much."
Dao Chi thought for a while, nodded and said: "Uncle, please sit down for a moment, I will go in first and report."
Cui Hao waved his hand and said: "Go, go."
Dao Chi got up and left the south hall, walked quickly through the second door, and went to the upper room.
Wang Ning was sitting in the small Buddhist hall picking up Buddha beans. Hearing the noise, he stood up and said, "Have you finished chatting with your uncle and nephew? Shall I go down to see the Cui family uncle now?"
Dao Chi supported Wang Ning and said, "Grandma, my uncle said that he is a junior and it is not easy to ask my grandma to come over. I want to come over and pay my respects."
When Wang Ning heard this, she paused and said, "Would it be rude?"
The Taoist idiot said: "How could it be? Grandma is an elder." Having said this, he thought for a while and said: "Grandma, I want to keep my uncle at home for lunch. Even though my uncle's family has been far away from Anlu for many years, the house is still here; the Cui family
Over there, I heard Saburo mention that the property has changed hands a long time ago."
Wang Ning sighed and said, "It's not easy at all. It's almost dinner time, so of course you're a guest. You can keep Uncle Cui at home if you want. It's not easy to ask him to go back to his hometown and have no place to live."
The Taoist idiot said: "It's okay to stay overnight. My uncle brought his servants. The family is not cheap."
Although I could see that Cui Hao was sincere in his treatment of me, I was moved. In fact, apart from being related by blood, the two of them were still strangers.
Cui Hao's wealthy attitude of being an official or a businessman made Dao Chi feel very unsure. He appreciated Cui Hao's sincere concern, but he didn't want to break the current peaceful life. It was better for the uncle-nephew relationship to take its time.
Wang Ning is over sixty years old. A Taoist idiot can see that, but an old man can't.
Although she was a little surprised by Cui Hao's young face, Wang Ning also saw his unabashed concern for Taoist idiots.
She is not a social person, but for the sake of her grandson, she has started to travel around the clan in the past two years. The reason why she entertained Liu Wanshan and Cui Hao today is ultimately because of the Taoist idiot.
Even if Waijiufang has a grandson named Dao Chi, he has no uncles to protect him, no brothers to support him, and he is too old. How long can he spend with his grandson? If he had two more good relatives, he would be able to wait until Dao Chi got into trouble.
Go to a place of intercession.
Even if Liu Wanshan would pull Taoist idiots for a while because of his status, he would never love him unconditionally like Cui Hao. Status can be changed, but blood ties are unbreakable.
She was originally worried that her grandson would be alone in the future, but now that there are elders who are willing to love him, she is not happy enough, and there will be no grudges.
Cui Haoben was still a little cautious, but when he saw that Wang Ning was really kind and did not prevent his uncle and nephew from getting close to each other because of their status, he felt very grateful in his heart and became more respectful on his face.
Since this was the first time he met Cui Hao and he was really not familiar with him, Wang Ning would not take the initiative to ask Cui Hao anything even if he was chatting about ordinary things. Instead, he started talking about things related to Taoist Idiots.
"Erlang loves reading books the most. He sits at home with nothing to do and wants that book in his hand..."
"The boy he grew up with was a boy named Hutou. Erlang treated him as a younger brother..."
"Lao Qi, the clan's eldest brother, entered the palace with Erlang. Lao Qi is a real person and takes great care of his younger brother Erlang. The two brothers are companions and have a very good relationship, which is no worse than their own children..."
"Erlang is a sensible child, and he is not the kind who doesn't know how to make a living. Although he is not yet an adult, Erlang is the one who makes the decision in matters at home..."
"Except for Qi Lang, Er Lang gets along well with his classmates in the palace. There is also a boy named Lu who came to play at home..."
"Speaking of marriage? Someone has been watching Erlang for a long time. After Erlang entered the palace as a student the year before last, many people came to inquire. However, the conditions were mediocre, and most of them were neighbors. When Erlang became a boy last year, he had a scholarly family.
I asked around, but there was nothing very suitable. Erlang passed the college examination this year, and the house was really lively. Anyone who mentioned the thirteen-year-old scholar would not praise him. It was just that Erlang said that he would wait for a few years before discussing the marriage. The old lady also hid it.
Selfishly, I thought that since Erlang wanted to take the imperial examination, he would like to serve as an official after his career was accomplished. It would be good to find a wife who can support each other. He does not ask for more nobles from the other party, but only needs more care..."
Wang Ning is not a talkative person, but today she talked a lot and talked a lot without leaving Erlang.
Cui Hao leaned forward to listen, with a mixture of joy and frown on his face, but he was very fascinated by what he was listening to.
From Wang Ning's chatter, he could also hear Wang Ning's sincere care for Dao Chi. The last bit of rejection in his heart towards the outsiders was gone. He was still his uncle.
It is more reassuring for Erlang to grow up with such a kind and open-minded old man than to live with the vicious mother and son in the twelfth room.
While the two people were talking, they were not looking at the Taoist idiot sitting next to them, their faces were full of care.
Dao Chi couldn't sit still, so he escaped from the upper room on the pretext of arranging lunch. But standing in the yard, the corners of Dao Chi's mouth were still curled up. This feeling of being treated as a treasure was not bad. But looking at Cui Hao's face
With his young face, he really couldn't treat him as an elder.
Mrs. Wang Ning has already given instructions to Grandma Yan and Sister-in-law Tian, and they have already started preparing in the kitchen. It’s just that the outer nine rooms are just as effective as the others. The kitchen is mostly vegetarian, and they only eat meat once every ten days, and they also give it to Uncle Yan and Jingzhe.
After Sister-in-law Tian brought Er Zhu over, she also began to eat vegetarian food with Wang Ning.
However, there is no shortage of meat at home now. When the Taoist idiot and the old lady bought new year's goods, they also bought some meat to prepare for the offering, and there were other people who were craving for it.
Nowadays, when entertaining guests, it can't be all tofu and cabbage. Sister-in-law Tian is a little unsure about how many meat dishes to add.
Sister-in-law Tian and Aunt Yan were about to go to the room to ask for advice about Wang Ning's meat dishes. When they saw Dao Chi in the yard, they approached and asked in a low voice.
Dao Chi thought that Cui Hao's temperament might not care about big fish or meat, so he said: "Just prepare it as usual. For meat dishes, in addition to bacon, you can make steamed eggs with hibiscus or fried eggs.
Aunt Yan hesitated and said, "Isn't it too simple? This is Uncle Cui's first visit."
Dao Chi shook his head and said: "No, maybe it will suit my uncle's heart."
When Grandma Yan saw that he was the one making the decision, she stopped talking and went to help Sister-in-law Tian.
In the main room, Cui Hao had changed his name from "aunt" to the more familiar "aunt": "Aunt, there was a mess in the twelfth room earlier. When my nephew came back, these two
That day, I realized the injustice that had happened to Erlang. My nephew was angry and very angry. When he went there yesterday, he almost wanted to take action. He just felt embarrassed and did not want to involve Erlang, causing him to be gossiped about, so he endured it with all his strength.
Yes. I met my aunt today and talked to my aunt, and I felt much more comfortable. The smoky place in the twelfth room is not as clean as my aunt's place. It is that boy's blessing that Erlang can be his grandson.
"Auntie is a good person, and good people are rewarded. If you don't mind it, you will treat me as my general and nephew from now on. You can do whatever you want. I, Cui Hao, will never say anything!" At the end of the sentence, he patted his chest and made a "bang bang" sound.
Wang Ning said: "Just think about it, but it's a blessing in disguise? Erlang is a strong boy. He will become famous one day. When the time comes, it will be the one crying and regretting."
The last sentence is of course a joke.
Wang Qinghong himself is the number one scholar, and Sanlang is also a scholar. Even if the Taoist idiot wins the number one scholar, the twelve brothers will only say "congratulations" and will not cry or cry about regretting the succession.
This "joke" just suited Cui Hao's thoughts, and he said with joy: "What I said is exactly what I said, it is better to make them regret until their heart, liver and lungs hurt. It is better to relieve their hatred than to beat them."
Speaking of this, Cui Hao remembered that Sanlang from the twelfth room was in the Imperial College, and said: "Wang Sanlang has been imprisoned. There are many famous gentlemen in the capital. One is declining and the other is increasing. Erlang has been left behind. Shouldn't he also be called Erlang?
?”
Wang Ningshi said: "Erlang has had this intention for a long time, and he even took the annual exam a few days ago. It's just that it's not easy to take the exam when it comes to choosing one among hundreds of people to pay tribute. We'll have to wait until next year for details."
Cui Hao thought for a while and said: "Since it's not easy to pay tribute, how about being imprisoned directly? As long as the money is lost, is there anything I can't go to?"
Wang Ning said hurriedly: "No. Getting in by yourself is different from spending money to get in. It would be bad if you offend your classmates because of it. Erlang wants to take the imperial examination and become an official. It doesn't sound good to be imprisoned like this."
Cui Haodao said: "Since the reputation of being directly imprisoned is not good, then shouldn't we go to Xuezheng's place and walk around? The matter of paying tribute is the Xuezheng's errand.
When Wang Ning saw Cui Hao's appearance, she wanted to go out immediately and rush to Wuchang Mansion (where the Xuezheng Yamen is located). She hurriedly said: "My dear nephew, please be patient. Erlang has always been a kid with ideas. When and how to get to Beijing?"
I'm afraid he has already made up his mind. In the end, it's better to ask Erlang about his plan first."
After hearing this, Cui Hao didn't say anything like Erlang was still young. Instead, he thought about it and nodded: "Don't worry, my nephew. No matter what he does, he will always follow Erlang's wishes first and will never force him."
…”
Seeing Cui Hao like this, Wang Ning just felt lucky in her heart. Today was a double blessing, as the originally lonely Waijiu Fang now had two more in-laws.
No matter what Cui Hao does, his love for his nephew is sincere.
Cui Hao is obviously in a good mood. His nephew will go to Beijing, take the provincial examination, and pass the examination all the way. When the time comes, he will be told to study hard and suppress that Wang Sanlang.
However, his good mood lasted until dinner time.
Wang Ning wanted to ask Cui Hao to sit on the throne, but Cui Hao refused. In the end, he supported Wang Ning to sit on top. He was on Wang Ning's left hand, facing the Taoist idiot.
When Grandma Yan had put the dishes on the table, Cui Hao's face looked a little bad.
There were a total of six dishes on the dining table, including four vegetarian braised cabbage, fried tofu, mixed ears, smoked slices, two meat stir-fried bacon and hibiscus eggs.
Fried bacon and fried eggs with hibiscus were placed in front of Cui Hao.
Cui Hao didn't think that he was being treated poorly, he just felt sorry for his nephew.
He looked at the two meat dishes, then looked at his grandfather and grandson, who were eating cabbage and tofu with gusto, and stretched out his hand to move the two plates in front of him.
Dao Chi was watching Cui Hao's reaction. Seeing that he was about to change dishes, he hurriedly said: "Uncle, my grandmother and I are both vegetarians and don't eat meat. These two dishes are specially prepared for my uncle."
When Cui Hao heard this, he couldn't help being stunned and said: "You are so young, why are you a vegetarian? No wonder you are so thin. How can you grow taller if you only eat cabbage and tofu?"
The Taoist idiot said: "Uncle, I can't change it for the time being."
Seeing that he was serious, Cui Hao couldn't bear to say anything more. He just glanced at Wang Ning in confusion, wondering why the old man didn't persuade him.
If you become a vegetarian, you are not worried about what will happen if your nephew eats less meat, but you are worried about your nephew's desire to be born.
Wang Ning said: "He hasn't been exposed to this since he was a child. He may have a bad heart or a stomach that can't stand it. Don't force him and wait for him to change slowly."
When Cui Hao heard this, he gritted his teeth hard, and his hatred for the Twelve Fang deepened. Even if he didn't like it, why did he send it to the temple if there was no farm in another courtyard? What a good boy, what if he really has the desire to be born in the world?
?
Except for this small incident, the meal was finally finished successfully.
Cui Hao thought that he had been here for a long time and it was almost time to say goodbye, so he said: "Auntie, my nephew is going to visit Erlang's house?"
Wang Ning smiled and said, "Let Erlang take you there."
She could sympathize with Cui Hao's feelings, but she just wanted to see how Erlang was doing in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Dao Chi glanced at the two east chambers to see everything. Then he sat down on the Arhat couch and said, "Erlang, do you want to bring your family to Beijing?"
This was what he thought of while eating. Wang Ning mentioned her grandson's intention to go to Beijing and go to prison, but did not mention her arrangements. In this family, there are only two grandsons who depend on each other. Seeing the Taoist's filial piety towards Wang Ning
He definitely didn't look like leaving Wang Ning's only son alone in Anlu.
Dao Chi nodded and said: "Brother-in-law, Sister Shunniang and her husband are in the capital. They are waiting for my grandmother to arrive in Beijing. It would be more convenient for me to see my sister."
Cui Hao laughed when he heard this and said: "Beijing is a good place to study. I have a few acquaintances and friends in Beijing, so I will leave the matter of the house to my uncle."
Dao Chi thought that the prince was a carefree person and that it might not be a good thing if he prepared too early and frowned too much, so he said: "Perhaps it will take another year and a half before the trip can take place. As for my uncle's friends, it is better to bother him later.
"
Cui Hao nodded and said: "It's up to you, it's not a big deal anyway..."
