Chapter 859: The Only Relative
Chapter 859 The Only Relative
As a traverser, Fang Yiai does not have so many noble and lowly differences, since he regards Begonia as his own woman, what is there to kowtow to the two dead old men. In the house, I wanted to come to a common thing, but in the eyes of Begonia, I was deeply moved.
Leaning on Fang Yiai's side, Begonia knelt down, at this time, Fang Yiai wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with his sleeve for Begonia, "Silly girl, is there anything wrong with me worshipping the two old men?" Don't cry, if you keep crying, I'm going to be angry, childe. ”
"Hmm" Begonia nodded slightly, at this moment, her heart was full of happiness. When the incense candle was halfway burned, Begonia and Fang Yiai walked side by side towards the way they came, the reed field was indeed a little barren, they had been here for so long, and no one came. I went up the path, but before I reached the stone monument, I saw a person walking towards me.
It was a middle-aged man in his forties, who was carrying a basket with some pancakes and apples, apparently to worship. Fang Yiai didn't feel anything, he leaned to the side and made way for the man.
The middle-aged man just turned his face to look at Fang Yiai, and didn't pay attention to it anymore, thinking that the middle-aged man would pass like this, but when he walked in front of Fang Yiai, he couldn't take a step anymore. At this time, the middle-aged man's eyes were full of disbelief, and at the same time, there was a hint of surprise. The middle-aged man's expression was too complicated, and Fang Yiai couldn't help but look at the begonia behind him, he knew very well that the middle-aged man was looking at the begonia.
"Are you Qiao'er? I'm my uncle! The middle-aged man said, and some tears appeared in the corners of his vicissitudes of life. Begonia's beautiful eyes were so surprised, her hand tightly hugged Fang Yiai's arm, and Fang Yiai could feel Begonia's rapid heartbeat. Covering the back of Begonia's hand, he gave Begonia an encouraging look. In the house of love, it is not a way to always escape, no matter what, this middle-aged man is also the only relative of Begonia, and judging from the repaired tomb, this middle-aged man does not look like the kind of person who is ruthless and cold-hearted.
"Uncle" is really difficult to shout these two words, Begonia's eyes are red, Qiao'er's name has not been called by her for many years, and even she has forgotten what her surname is.
Zeng Qiao'er, that was her former name, but since she was seven years old, this name has not been used again, and then she is accompanied by the word Begonia, after a long time, she is also used to the name Begonia, because she feels that this name can make her forget the past. I thought well in my heart, but when I really met, Haitang found that it was still difficult to let go of the only family affection.
Listening to the shouts of the begonia, the middle-aged man shook his body, and the bamboo basket in his hand fell to the ground. The path was steep, and the basket of things rolled down the path, but no one would pay attention to them at this time.
The middle-aged man's lips trembled, and at this moment, he was first happy, and then deeply guilty. I can't forget the scene when a person named Min Er sent a poor girl to the capital in the second year of Zhenguan, and the girl cried so much that her tears dried up, but Min Er still left without hesitation.
When I didn't see him, I said that I missed it, but when I really met, Min Er didn't know what to say, and what he had done, could he be forgiven?
"Uncle, I don't think we're stunned here, why don't we go and sit down at home and talk slowly?" Fang Yiai knows that he can't go back for a while, since he has seen his relatives, he should let Begonia untie the knot for many years, people live in the world, who doesn't have a relative? Maybe there will be hatred between relatives, but when necessary, people will also abandon their previous suspicions, and Fang Yiai believes that Begonia will also forgive Min Er.
Think about Wu Meiniang in history, when she ascended the throne of the queen, she didn't use people from the martial arts family, relatives, it's really hard to say clearly. How deep the humiliation the Wu family brought to Wu Meiniang, Wu Meiniang can forgive them, not to mention the estrangement between Min Er and Haitang.
Fang Yiai reminded Min Er in a word, he lifted the basket on the ground, and didn't bother to pick up the things that rolled to the ground, he smiled embarrassedly at Fang Yiai, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, stretched out his hand and said, "Come, come with me, let's go home and talk!" ”
Min Ertou led the way, but Begonia was standing there stunned, Fang Yiai would not let Begonia retreat, and with a little force, he pulled Begonia to follow Min Er out of the reed field.
Kolo Town is nearly a mile away from the reed field, and it will take a long time to walk, and Min Er just walked with his head down on the way, but he didn't say a word. Min Er was originally a stupid person, and he didn't know what to say at this time, so he could only be silent.
Along the way, Min Er thought about a lot of things, he didn't know who the son next to Haitang was, but he knew that he was a noble person by looking at the dress, and his niece's bearing, he naturally regarded Fang Yiai as his niece's husband.
Min Er's home is just south of the town of Kolo, enter from the main intersection, and walk through the two houses. Min Er's home is very simple, two dilapidated houses, and there are a few acres of land outside the house, and the newly promoted sweet potatoes and some vegetables are planted in the field. After entering the courtyard gate, Min Er let Fang Yiai sit on the small stool, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "Don't dislike it, I'll pour some water for you." ”
After speaking, Min Er entered the house by himself, and after waiting for Min Er to enter, Fang Yiai turned his head and glanced at Begonia. Seeing that Begonia didn't move, Fang Yiai couldn't help frowning and said, "Girl, go in, have a good chat with your uncle, in this life, the most rare thing is relatives, what knot can't be untied?" ”
"Childe, I" Haitang slurred, couldn't say a word clearly, Fang Yiai sighed and pushed her to stand up, "Come in quickly, otherwise Childe, I'm going to be angry!" ”
Fang Yiai's face rose, and Begonia didn't dare to disobey, so she had to enter the house uneasily, and walked to the door, Haitang also looked back at Fang Yiai, and what she got was a smile of encouragement from Fang Yiai.
Drove Begonia into the house, Fang Yiai stepped out of the small courtyard, he couldn't sit here all the time, Qin Li was still waiting outside, he couldn't go back for a while, he had to talk to him.
When he came to the north of Kolo Town, Qin Li was sitting on the stone teasing the black tiger, obviously the black tiger bird was not bird Qin Li, so this guy sat there and scolded his mother.
"Ah Li, you come over for a while, just leave Ma here, you go and help me inquire about something, and ask the local villagers how Min Er is doing. When I finished inquiring, I went to the second house in the west of Zhennan Road to find me, remember, if Min Er is not bad, you can buy some good wine and meat, if Min Er is a bad person, you can just come empty-handed! ”
"Okay, I'll do it!" Qin Li is not worried about horses, there is the black tiger, the king of horses, what kind of horse dares to run around. After Qin Li left, Fang Yiai patted the black tiger's horse's head, raised his eyebrows and teased, "Brother Black Horse, you can enjoy it, I'll go first!" ”
The black tiger squirted the horse's nose, and its big mouth opened, obviously dissatisfied with Fang's words. The black tiger thinks that this master is too lacking in morality, and the two horses next to him are obviously stallions, what can it enjoy Black Tiger, can it play 3p with two stallions?
Fang Yiai walked very slowly, he was not in a hurry to go back, Min Er and Haitang must have a lot to say, they went back early, and they were also sitting dry, it was better to take advantage of this time to take a good look at the customs here.
Min Er's room is very dark, not dark, but also very damp, the room is very shabby, except for the dishes and chopsticks, it is estimated that the table is the most valuable. A total of two rooms are connected, Haitang carefully observed everything in the room, she found that there are not many changes here, if there is a change, it is that Min Er is older.
Min Er came out of the back room with a kettle, and ran into Begonia, he saw Begonia's beautiful face, so he grinned dryly, "Qiao'er, why don't you wait outside, come in and do something, this room is dirty and wet, don't touch you." ”
Min Er has lived for so many years, and he thinks he has seen some girls from big families, but none of the clothes they wear are comparable to their nieces, and their nieces are still so beautiful. Although more than ten years have passed, Begonia still retains a bit of its appearance when it was a child, otherwise Min Er would not have recognized it at a glance.
Haitang touched the somewhat damp tabletop and looked at the dilapidated roof, she frowned and whispered, "After so many years, haven't you become a family?" ”
"Hey, what kind of family is it, you don't know the situation of our family, who wants to live with me. Life has been much better over the years, but as I get older, ordinary women are even more reluctant to follow me. Forget it, let's not talk about it, Qiao'er, who is the son who came with you? ”
Min Er really didn't know the identity of Fang Yiai, over the years, he only knew that Begonia was the maid who served the princess, but he didn't know anything else.
Haitang didn't seem to want to talk about this, she thought about it, bit her pink lips and asked with some sadness, "Why did you throw me to the people in the palace so ruthlessly back then, and, after so many years, I was looking forward to it, I hoped that you could go to see me, but you never appeared." You ask yourself, is there such an uncle in this world? ”
Haitang's words stabbed Min Er's heart like a steel knife, and his mouth kept opening and closing, but he couldn't squeeze out a word. In a short moment, it was like a night, Min Er was really guilty, his tears were rolling in his eyes, and after a long time, he heard him say with a wry smile, "Qiao'er, it's not that my uncle is ruthless, you are the flesh and blood left by your mother, and you are also my only relative Min Er, how can I give you up." But in those years, we were very miserable, and my uncle couldn't guarantee that you would live well, if you weren't afraid, why would your uncle have to give you to your father-in-law in Jingli in pain? ”
"Even if what you say is true, then why don't you even look at me after so many years?" Begonia's tears have already burst out of her eyes, her voice is a little high, but also a little sharp, so many years, this is the first time she has spoken so loudly, and she is facing her only relative.
Min Er shook his head, he put the kettle on the table, wiped the corners of his eyes and said, "Qiao'er, it's not what you imagined, my uncle has been there, I remember it was when I was seven years old, I saw you, it was when His Royal Highness Changle got married, and my uncle didn't dare to see you when he saw that you were doing so well." Look at the scene of your uncle, don't you feel ashamed to go to see you, it's not easy for you to do things next to the princess, and your uncle can't ruin the life you fought so hard for. ”
"You lied to me" Haitang raised her voice, she didn't want to believe it, she didn't know what the scene was like when Zhenguan was in the second year, she was still young at that time, and she couldn't remember it for a long time, but she could never forget the things of these years, how long she missed it, and how many times she was disappointed.
"I didn't lie to you, you were the first one on the left side of the sedan chair, and the housekeeper of the Changsun Mansion was in front of you, and my uncle didn't lie to you" For a while, Haitang was stunned, because what Min Er said was so accurate, when Her Royal Highness the princess married into the Changsun Mansion, it was a little special, that is, her sedan chair was not accompanied by the bride, but Sun Lin, the head of the Changsun Mansion.
Is he really to blame? If it's really wrong, isn't it too sad that she has been persistent for so many years? (To be continued.) )
