Chapter 4 The fourth Chang'an, weeping farewell to the white-haired mother Jingu to visit relatives and happy to make friends with each other

Luo Shi sent a letter to Luo's family to please others, just as his father and brother were out, but younger brother Xiaogu Dexin came to greet him personally, Zhiting had already left.Ben complained about Luo Shi, since Zhiting came here during the day, why didn't he send a letter to his mother's family?Luo Shi couldn't describe the pain, so he reluctantly hesitated for a while, Xiaogu finally didn't give up, and said that the people were going down the river to choose sex and solicit songs, and they became more and more itchy. Cheap, did not explain to Luo Shi, hurried away.Reluctant to hire a boat, staring at a pair of myopic eyes, he searched along the banks of the Qinhuai River, from the Confucius Temple to Shuiguan. Moored at the wide center of the river, with shadows on the sideburns, singing and singing, and laughing like a wave, it was very lively. There were dozens of calls "Second Cousin" across the river, but there was no response. A hawker selling snacks on a wooden tray handed over a business card.

After a while, a servant on the big boat came in a small boat with his original business card. You Gu was happy to be here to pick him up, but the person who came was to drive him out. When he met, he shouted: " A certain young master is here to treat guests, and anyone who is not invited will not be received, what are you shouting about! Go away as soon as possible, and you will not be polite if you want to mess around again." Xiao Gu still held back his anger and argued: "Second Young Master Xu Ming is playing cards on the boat, and there is Zhou Yuansun, both of whom are close relatives of mine. I have something important to do. I must see these two people. If you want to use your boat to ferry me to the side of the boat and invite them out of the cabin, I will say a word. How are you going?" The person who came came straightened his face and replied: "You are howling like a ghost, almost everyone on the boat heard it, our master said he didn't recognize you, and told you to drive you away. I don't care if you have relatives or not. , there are many passengers on the boat, and I can't go to your relatives. Director Wang's young master is also on the boat, and they are happy. If you dare to mess around, you will be arrested with a word. Talk about my boat and I can't lend you Sit down, you hire a boat yourself, just row to the side of the big boat and shout, it will cause trouble immediately, if you don’t believe me, try it. I advise you to be more sensible.”

When he was talking, he was rushing out of the deck with a young prostitute arm in arm. Xiao Gu caught a glimpse of him, who looked very much like Zhi Ting. As if he had been rescued, he hurriedly said: "Isn't this the second youngest of President Xu from the capital, my blood watch?" Brother?" He said while shouting: "Second cousin, I'm here, he won't allow me to go on board." Hearing this, the young man retreated to the cabin without raising his head.You Gu was still about to shout wildly, when someone pushed his hand on the shoulder earlier, and shouted angrily: "Damn you, do you care about you? If you don't listen to good words, if you dare to shout again, I will beat you." When Xiao Gu saw the person coming I know that these evil slaves in the officialdom are used to bullying others by pretending to be pretentious, but seeing that person is as bright as Zhiting, I don't know whether it is because there are honored guests in the seat that it is inconvenient to receive strangers, or because they want to ignore them, and they will suffer even more if they continue to fight. Embarrassed with a shameful face, he walked away.The visitor sneered and rowed back.

As soon as the person left, Xiaogu's heart became active again, intending to wait on the shore, only hoping that one of Zhiting and Yuansun would show up, and there was still hope.Seeing the evil slave enter the cabin, turn around and get out, the boat sails to the distance and berths. The area is full of water pavilions of people on both sides of the river, and there is no river bank to look at from a distance. Only then did I realize that I had a heart-to-heart refusal and died. Re Nian, dejected, walked back, thinking about it, thinking that Yuan Sun, a poor boy, could actually ride a flower boat with these rich people, but he and Zhi Ting were close relatives, but he couldn't, it was all because of his sister, she If you notify early, you will definitely catch up. You can contact as many ways as you can, and you can enjoy it to your heart's content.And the son of the Chief of Police is also on board, this handover, in the future, when you visit private houses and small houses, you will not be bullied again, which is really beneficial.How could there be such a good opportunity in the world, but it was missed by this heartless woman, and this poor little Zhou Yuansun was taken advantage of, the more I thought about it, the more I hated it.He rushed back to Zhou's house overnight, and quarreled with Luo Shi as soon as he entered the door.

Because just now Luo Shi didn't dare to talk about the embarrassing things of being angry during the day, and he usually treats Yuan Sun as a child, thinking that he somehow wooed and went with Zhi Ting and Cheng Ji, and Shi Zezhi Ting is arrogant, how can he think highly of him?Although jealous, he didn't think of anything else.Luo Shi was already suspicious of Yuan Sun's mischief, and after hearing what Nai Di said, he became more and more convinced that Yuan Sun was playing tricks on him, and embarrassing Nai Di was the second. I said a lot in front of him, and at that time I was very angry. Apart from scolding Yuan Sun for why he didn't say hello since he was on the boat, he didn't dare to explain to his brother. Buy it for 1 yuan, tell him to go home and don't leak it to his father and brother, and then he's done.After Xiaogu left, the more he thought about it, the more angry he became, first he thought of going to the backyard to make a scene with Zhou's mother, and then thought about it, although the mother-in-law hates her, she always suppresses her son on weekdays, such things are not like mother-son accomplices.The second child is vicious, I just want to make him look a little ugly, I have already fought back so harshly, and if I hurt his mother again, I don't know what tricks to do, Zhi Ting and Cheng Ji have not left yet, so I have some scruples.If you only quarrel with the little ghost and the other quarrels with him, you can still go to his mother to sue and threaten him.It's not good to have all become enemies, so I had to endure it, determined to fight Yuansun desperately, make a big fuss, and ask the truth.Unexpectedly, Yuan Su didn't come back that night, since he and Pingxiang sat guard, Pingxiang inevitably made a lot of slander, the master and the servant scolded each other, and stayed there until dawn. He then ordered Pingxiang to wait for Yuansu to report back immediately.

Luo Shi was about to go to bed, when he heard Yuan Sun turn back, his anger was ignited immediately, and he chased him out. He wanted to have a big fight with Yuan Sun, and there were few disagreements, so his mother and son separated and went out to live together forever. Get rid of the heart disease.Unexpectedly, he was so angry that he didn't know where to start when he was full of questions, and he made a mistake when he opened his mouth.Last night I hadn't uttered one percent of what I was thinking. First, I was frightened by Yuan Sun's calm and solemn demeanor, and my heart was already anxious and confused. Then I heard that the words I answered were not so simple and clear, and there was no gap to take advantage of. There is something in the words, hidden sharpness, every sentence stabs the heart, suddenly remembered that at this time, Yuan Sun must propose to divide the family according to the will, and don't say that the money that has been swallowed up will not be entangled, at least the remaining money will also be withdrawn More than half, the furniture in the two rooms borrowed by the natal family will be withdrawn, and the enemy has made friends with Cheng Ji. His letter is obviously to ask her husband to come back to clean up the housework, but it is like sending him to rebel. Thinking of this, I can't help feeling flustered. Then she became discouraged and called Pingxiang urgently: "I will definitely chase this dead ghost back to me."

As soon as she entered the backyard, Pingxiang was ordered to come over, stopped in front, and shouted: "Don't go, the young lady told you to go back, I haven't finished talking yet." Yuan Sun couldn't help but feel that she was always you Angry, seeing that the road was blocked again, she yelled angrily: "Girl, you are getting more and more unruly! If you have something to say, wait for the young master to come back." Unable to bear it, he yelled angrily, "Get out of here!" Lifting his leg was a kick.Although she didn't use much force, Pingxiang couldn't bear it anymore, she fell to the side with an oops, and cried loudly: "Young mistress, help me, I've killed someone!" Seeing her withdrawing, Yuan Sun thought that Luo Shi had always protected his shortcomings, so he decided to use this to make a big fuss. , unwilling to let go, thinking that things have come to an end, they simply fall out and split up and go out. Although the future is worrying, there is always support for the rest of the year, so that the mother and brother will not be angry and suffer after leaving, and it is good for me to worry about it outside.At that time, he turned around and entered the room, took off his long clothes, took a feather duster and rushed out, seeing that the two maids and the servants who cleaned the courtyard had rushed over after hearing the news, they shouted: "Zhang Xing, go and invite the eldest young lady, Xu Mom beats this bitch with a feather duster and me, and kills her, what do you think?"

In the early days, Pingxiang devoted herself to broadcasting nonsense, she was clever and tongue-in-cheek, and all the male and female servants in the family hated her. The male and female servants responded and rushed forward separately.Seeing that Yuan Sun was really angry, Ping Xiang knew something was wrong. The owner didn't even come, and she would suffer a loss if she didn't see the opportunity again. She couldn't help being discouraged and flustered. then escape.Yuan Sun shouted angrily: "Catch her back!" When Xu's mother was about to chase, Zhou's mother had already walked out of the room and stopped.After Yuansun said good morning, without waiting for Zhou's mother to speak, he said loudly: "Mom, don't worry about it today, it's becoming more and more outrageous now, even a yellow-haired girl is so presumptuous and hateful, I don't say anything at this time First, ask Brother Gao Shiyi to invite the eldest brother back, and ask Nanny Zhou to prepare a table, and invite all the relatives and seniors of Nian Shiyi, and then I will care about it. Otherwise, when I go to Beijing, Mom will still have a good day. Is it possible? It’s too annoying. My son is not honest, but the ancestors have been filial friends and family rules for many generations. They don’t want father to make jokes soon after his death, and he is patient everywhere. I really don’t understand! If you force me to make a fuss, you will simply make a big fuss.” Zhou's mother suddenly changed her face and scolded: "Yuan Sun, why are you so confused? With me here, who do you dare to fight with? If you have something to say, discuss it carefully. Look at your eyes, you still don't let me sleep, are you going to make me angry? "Yuan Sun knew that Luo Shi was aggressive that morning, and she had the potential to ruin her face. Knowing that she had a fierce temperament and would do any unreasonable things, she pretended to be calm on the surface, and used her skills to demonstrate secretly and force her to submit, so as to escape. In fact, there is no certainty in my heart.I'm afraid that if there is a commotion, no matter whether the family is separated or not, the old mother will be angry and sad for many days.Walking into the courtyard, she was thinking about how to avoid confrontation, but Pingxiang only cared about pretending to please her, and pursued her when she was ordered, without thinking about her master's intentions, and insisted on chasing him back.Yuan Sun misunderstood Luo Shi's intention to break up, and saw that the girl's speech was not condescending, and despite her youthful temper, she was still advancing and retreating, not wanting to make a big deal out of it.The original intention was to sing a harp, but when she saw her mother's anxious face, she thought it was true, and couldn't help being anxious. While winking, she whispered: "My son is pretending, he has to, mom don't worry." , still replied loudly: "How dare my son make my mother angry, but I can only bear with it and don't bully me. Who would want to embarrass himself?" Zhou's mother smiled bitterly: "It's all from my family. Who will bully you for no reason, stop talking, and go to sleep." Yuan Sun repeatedly helped Zhou's mother into the main room.Still waiting to tell the story, Jing asked about last night's situation. Zhou's mother said: "I don't like to listen to idle work. I didn't finish my scriptures because of the noise. I just went back to my room and went to sleep. I won't get up unless I call you."

Yuan Sun had no choice but to go back to the house.As soon as he took off his shoes and socks, he heard someone from the outer room talking in a low voice, which couldn't be heard clearly. After a while, he heard his mother say: "You tell the young lady, I will definitely do as she says, and the second young master will never go against my promise." This is all caused by Pingxiang. Since the young lady understands that she is a little baby, she should not beat her because she is usually diligent. The second young master will leave within this month. When he gets up, I will tell him Well. It’s up to me to make the decision, and tell the young lady to just rest assured.” Yuan Sun sounded like the nanny in Luo’s room, and felt strange, and was about to call someone to ask, when Nanny Zhou walked in.

It turned out that Luo Shi had a lot of worries. As soon as Pingxiang left, he followed to cover the screen door and eavesdrop. Just in time for Pingxiang to cry, although Yuansun hated the poisonous words, he was deterred by Yuansun's arrogance and dared not come out again. It was noisy, so I had to pretend that I hadn't heard it, and ran back to the room, the more I thought about it, the more I worried.Pingxiang went back to her room and cried, only gritted her teeth and cursed Yuansun, then sent him away. She was embarrassed to go to the backyard again, and asked the nanny to tell Zhou's mother to tell Yuansu not to be against her, and to slander Chengji and call her husband go home.Zhou's mother knew that Yuansun would not do such a thing, so she agreed.Yuan Sun saw that although the housework did not start, the hatred between uncle and sister-in-law deepened, and there was no end to the situation. After Nanny Zhou left, he barely closed his eyes and slept until noon.When I got up and asked, Luo Shi had already come, crying to Zhou's mother that Yuan You bullied her, and kidnapped Zhou's mother, and only when her husband came back from this trip without incident, he fought desperately with Yuan Su.It wasn't until Zhou's mother took the responsibility and said that Yuansun would leave in the day, that she shed tears and left with joy on her face.

Yuan Sun laughed angrily when he heard this, and discussed things with his mother.The travel expenses should have been paid to the public account, but Luo Shi was very willing that Yuan Sun would leave early, and he would not refuse. Zhou's mother was afraid that there would be another conflict with Luo Shi, so she insisted on refusing, and she was also afraid that her son would go to the capital for a long distance, and the future would be good or bad. It's hard to know that I want to bring him a little more travel expenses so that he can use it as a guest without embarrassment. I plan to sell some of the remaining clothes and jewelry for three or four hundred yuan and take them with Yuansun.Yuansun refused at first, but when Jisi left by herself, Luo Shi would eventually have to go fishing. No matter what was left, she would be forced to go away sooner or later. At that time, three pennies were worthless. At that time, he sold all the valuables, on the one hand, so that Luo Shi knew that his mother had no savings, and on the other hand, he could try to prepare a backcourt.It was agreed that Zhou's mother would first take Yuansun out to discuss with Luo Shi, and said: "Yuansun went north to seek business, Sichuan-funded travel, gifts for relatives and friends, and entertainment outside all required money. There was not much money in the public account. This big family I want to use it a lot, and I want to sell my old clothes for some money, what do you think?" Luo Shi had long regarded public funds as his own pockets, and he was willing to hear that.Zhou's mother accompanied Luo Shi to open all the suitcases, and Luo Shi had to pretend to buy them back with money, honoring her natal mother, and chose two good ones. How could Zhou's mother ask her to pay the price? Yuansun also knows the price of goods, is shrewd and diligent, and does everything by himself. Although he has been digging for many years, he still sold it for more than 570 yuan.Zhou's mother had a big accident and almost gave up the idea of ​​selling jewelry. Yuan Sun had other ideas and persuaded Zhou's mother: "Mom hasn't worn these odd things for many years, and now she won't wear them anymore. What's the point of keeping this waste? "So except for a few hairpin bracelets, I sold them all and got another six hundred yuan.Luo Shi didn't know the price of the goods, and in recent years, her mother's family had sold them all day and night, and they were all handled by tricky servants. They were afraid that people would know, and they had never gotten a good price. It was sold for two or three hundred yuan, and it was quick and fast, so there was no exploitation at all. Zhou's mother intended to sell more money, and took half of it as Yuansun's Chuan capital, but Yuansun wanted to take two-thirds. Zhou's mother didn't know what her son wanted, so although she felt that she had more money, she just let it go because she was traveling far away.Yuansun took the money, prepared some luggage with only 20 yuan, and took 70 yuan with him on the road. He secretly handed over the rest of the money to Nanny Zhou, and said, "I grew up with your milk, and I loved you so much. You are loyal to my family, and I regard you as my mother, and the whole family does not regard you as an outsider. My mother is honest and gentle, and is easy to be bullied by others. The eldest and youngest mistress are extremely stubborn and rebellious. Although the eldest and young master still understand, she is young and cowardly. I can’t make up my mind. It’s my first time to go out to find a job. I don’t know when it will be done. I’m afraid that my mother will suffer at home. When I think about it, I feel like a knife. Mostly half-hearted. The young lady always thinks that Mom has savings, and soon after I leave, she will divide the two thousand dollars and come to complain to the ant. The money is in Mom's hands, good or bad I will be deceived by her and blackmailed endlessly, so I pretended to take away most of them, and secretly entrusted you to store them for me. After I leave, the days will be short, needless to say, the truth is unbearable, I have entrusted good people first, I can persuade my mother to move to Zhang Lingcang’s house for a temporary stay. If I can’t find a job, or if the job is too small, I can’t afford to take it. With this little money, I can live for three or two years, not to mention that I won’t be able to find a job for three years. As much as possible, there will always be some money to send back. "I invite you to be my family, and you should be frugal about everything else. Mom's wine and snacks are not to be spared. If you don't come to Zhang's house, you must not say that the money is in your hands. Except for things in the backyard during time sharing, as long as the master left The books and the old suitcase for notes, other furniture and other valuable things, I will have money in the future, and I will have as much as I want, so I won’t take them all, so as not to make you troublesome. My family has a lot of calligraphy and paintings. When I moved to Nanjing, I I cleaned it up with Eldest Young Master, and there is a list, and there are two boxes of valuables, which can be exchanged for less than one-tenth of the money, but the painters are all the same year as Master Xian’s teacher, best friends, and they are all Worse, you asked the three young masters to come forward and pretend to fight for the two valuable boxes, and then you pretended not to understand, came out to be a good person, and exchanged these with him. You always remember that valuable calligraphy, paintings and antiques can only be bought with money. The ancestors' friendship with the elders for many years has been lost and damaged, but they can't be bought. It's a last resort, not to separate from him, but to keep it on behalf of him, so as not to be like that year, a large box of calligraphy and paintings and folds written by the first master. The volume, only one summer, was all moldy, and the rest was taken by the young mistress to her natal family to make imitations of children. This is the most important thing to pay attention to, and put away every piece of paper, good or bad, old or new. The third young master died yesterday. I told you to be careful when the day comes.” Nurse Zhou said with tears: "Young master's idea is good, but if you travel thousands of miles away, you only need to bring this little money. What if you can't find anything, and you are in a foreign land with no relatives? What's the matter? You can keep a few hundred yuan, and you can leave three hundred yuan." Yuan Sun said: "My mind is that when the master is in Japan, everyone's business will be ruined by the big house, and the sister-in-law is also full of idleness on weekdays. I never mentioned it. When it comes time for us to split up without any property in our generation, it will be a joke if it spreads. If it weren't for the fear of my mother's suffering, the eldest and younger wives would not care about how much they hated me. It's not a last resort I don't want to share the few hundred dollars from my mother. I planned to send my grandma and young lady away in the future. According to my prediction, the remaining public funds will not be reimbursed in full. It will be three months before she asks my mother for money. At this time, I am fine. If you have the money to send back, you can make your own arrangements, so it’s fine. Otherwise, Zhang Lingcang can resell it and borrow it from outsiders. The price is twenty or thirty yuan each time, which is enough to prevaricate for several months. For half a year, I If things don't work out and Mom is having a hard time, then she can decide to separate. "As for my Panchuan, the third-class ticket is only thirteen yuan and fifty cents. With the allowance, I can go to the old man's house in Tianjin with twenty yuan. When I go to Beijing, I have more relatives and friends, so I don't have to worry about board and lodging. Others use it If you don’t have one, you’ll save money, isn’t it still a living? This is going out to find a job to support the family, and it’s not enough to show off? Besides, I still have at least a few dozen yuan left for emergency. If it’s really not possible, I can also ask for a few from my uncle. What are you afraid of? I have so many relatives and friends to take care of me. Compared with those who are forced by poverty and travel thousands of miles, I am really unaccompanied. You just need to listen to me. Although I am young, I am by no means such absurd and careless Young man. Everything has been carefully planned, and the luggage has been prepared. The old master must not prepare the set of equipment for me. One is that I can’t bear to look at those relics, and the other is that young people should endure hardships and stand hard work, and should not enjoy it like this .Fortunately, the weather is hot, a bedroll, one large and one small two suitcases to pack the clothes and bits and pieces, so you can leave as soon as you want, how refreshing. Please do everything." After saying that, she knelt down and kowtowed to Nanny Zhou, who panicked Before he knelt down to return the salute, he couldn't help bursting into tears, sobbing and crying bitterly.Yuansun said: "It's irrelevant at all, but you are very sad? You can't be sure if you are a dragon or a tiger. You have to hope for me and like it. Why are you crying?" Nanny Zhou knew that Yuansun had heard crying since she was a child. If you don't shed tears easily, it's hard to persuade you to make up your mind, so you have to reluctantly accept the tears, and plan not to mention it yourself. Because Yuan Sun's departure is coming soon, Nanny Zhou specializes in cooking Yuan Sun's favorite dishes every day.Zhou's mother naturally did not want to leave her beloved son to travel far away.It was an auspicious day to travel again, so I stayed twice.Yuan Sun was even more musing. He postponed today for tomorrow, and postponed tomorrow for the day after.The general friends among them will inevitably come to look for them, and Yuan Sun reluctantly complied with Gao Chengji's appointment, and secretly told Yi about his trip to the north, insisting not to tell anyone else.Although Cheng Ji was young and playful, he was honest and kind, and he promised at the time.Yuan Youli wanted his mother, son, and brothers to get together more, so he pushed Suzhou to visit friends on the second day, and did not come out behind closed doors, because Zhang and Gao confirmed it on his behalf, and all his friends also believed that only Zhang and Gao had come behind their backs Twice, Yu Ju will disturb each other in the future.Later, when Luo saw that Yuan Sun was not moving, and heard from a maid that Gao Chengji persuaded Yuan Sun not to go north to find a job, he was willing to speak for his father in front of Naifu, and he could always get something anyway. , said a lot of gossip.Zhou's mother was afraid of getting angry again, and the next day was an auspicious day, so she had to harden her heart and urge Yuan Sun to leave. The Jinpu Northbound Express train should leave at ten o'clock in the morning. Taking the small train to Xiaguan and crossing the river will take time. Zhou's mother urged Yuansun to go to bed early after dinner.Seeing that he was going to part with his loving mother tomorrow morning, Yuan Sun was reluctant to part with him. He insisted that the day was long and the weather was hot, and that he couldn't sleep because he was full of worries, so he had better talk with his mother for a while, so that he could catch up on sleep tomorrow when there was nothing to do in the car.Zhou's mother refused to listen to her persuasion, so she had to order Xu's mother to call Zhou's nurse to make some supper with his second young master.Mother Xu laughed and said, "Ms. Zhou made several suppers and snacks earlier, and they were all the second young master's favorite. I just asked her: 'Why do you make so many? The weather is so hot. Isn't it afraid that the leftovers will go bad?' She said: "Second young master, I don't know how long it will take to come back. How can dim sum outside be so good? I cook a little of everything so that he can choose to eat." I'm busy in the kitchen now." Mother Zhou said: " A few snacks are enough, so what are you busy with?" Xu Ma said with a smile: "How many people have I been with, and I have never seen a nanny who protects the master like this and loves the young master. She is busy with Lu Cai now. I finished cooking early and came to chat with the second young master, and I was afraid that the cook would not be able to do it well, so I didn't want anyone to help her, and I cut a hole in my hand just now." Zhou's mother hurriedly said: "Yuan Sun, go and call her, so I'm so busy, I'm still exhausted. You said that I asked her to come, there is something to say, the dishes only need to be laid out, and the cook is the same." Yuan Sun responded and was about to go out when Nanny Zhou brought in three big bowls of Chinese vegetables on a tray.Yuan Su took a look, the same salted smoked preserved meat, the same dry-fried assorted sauce, the same smoked chicken, the same piece of marinated chicken and duck with bones removed.Yuan Sun knew that Nanny Zhou must prepare the assorted food box that his father used when he was on a business trip, and he didn't intend to accept it, because her face was wrinkled, her eyes were red, and she looked like she had been crying. Thinking of her years of hard work, she couldn't help but feel sad. Sighed: "Mom gave me a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of bamboo shoot oil, and two dishes cooked during the day, which is enough to eat. How do you make all these things, and how can you finish them on the road? Isn't it a waste?" Nanny Zhou forced a smile and said: "I know what the second young master wants, and I absolutely don't want to use the set of things that the master goes out with. There are only four dishes in this dish, and they are to be eaten immediately. The rest will not be broken for ten and a half months. Please rest assured. " Yuan Sun didn't want to say anything more, and talked with his mother and younger brother in the middle of the night, and went to bed after Zhou's mother repeatedly urged him to sleep. That night, the whole family, young and old, had no mood to sleep.Nanny Zhou arranged the packing, and didn't even touch the bed.Yuan Sun didn't close his eyes until dawn.In the dimness, I could smell someone walking in the room. When I opened my eyes, the sun was already full of the window. I saw Zhou Nanny was going to put things in the suitcase on the couch. A little money is definitely not enough. How can people who go out not bring more money with them? I still have eighty-seven yuan, which has been stuffed under the suitcase. This is not the money you gave me the day before yesterday. , Young Master, for the rest of my life, I will have food and clothing here, and I will ask my wife for pocket money, so it’s useless to keep it with me. Don’t push me if you treat me as your own, lest I think about worrying.” When he said, tears could not be held back Little by little will fall.Yuan Sun knew that these dozens of yuan were all kinds of new foreign money she had saved from exchanging with others for many years. She usually loved it like a treasure, and others didn't even teach her to look at it, but this time she gave it all to herself.Since I couldn't bear it, she politely declined again and again, but Nanny Zhou insisted on refusing.Yuan Sun burst into tears when she saw what she said, so he had to agree to take another 80 yuan from the hundreds of yuan he forgot to hide the day before yesterday, and return the gift of Xinyang money to her, and said: "This is your favorite thing, and you will give it to me as a gift." Me, I cherish it, and I exchanged it with the one I bought. I still use it the same way, but I can save it for you for a while. If I don’t have anything to do for a long time, isn’t it the same if I don’t have enough money left?” Zhou nurse Fang Shi promised, Retake what Yuansun kept and replace it. Zhou's mother has come to see her twice, because she wants Yuansun to sleep more and wants to call again when the time comes. She is preparing incense candles in the main room. Yuansun puts on his clothes, goes out to say good morning, and then lights incense candles to the ancestor hall. , exhorted a few words to the two younger brothers.The maid served breakfast, and Yuan Sun endured his sadness, forced a smile, and finished the meal.While beckoning the servants who were seeing them off to hire a car, Aunt Zhou brought out an assorted food box from the back room.It turned out that Zhou's father was very particular about food and clothing when he was in Japan, and Zhou's mother was good at managing the family, and she was helped by such righteous servants as Zhou nurse. Because her husband likes to travel and travels all year round, he made a bamboo brocade food box for fear that the food in various places would not suit his taste. , shaped like a small wooden box with ten squares inside.There is a magnetic cup embedded in each compartment, which contains various dishes, as well as long-lasting flavors such as flat tip, open ocean, lean ham, and pickles.In addition, there are more than a dozen long and short wooden troughs, with cups, bowls, chopsticks, plates, knives, forks, and seasonings such as salt and sugar embedded in them.Seeing that the food box was newly made, Yuan Sun knew that the wet nurse had paid for it, so he could only be grateful in his heart. After a while, Zhang Xing had hired a car to go back and forth. Yuan Sun kowtowed goodbye to his mother, and bowed to Nanny Zhou, asking her to take care of her sooner or later.Although Luo Shi pretended to be ignorant, etiquette cannot be abandoned, so he went to Luo Shi's room to say goodbye.Seeing that the person had already left, Luo Shi took advantage of his wish and said a few perfunctory words.The whole family was sent outside the door. Yuan Sun looked back at his mother and nurse with tears in his eyes and was sad. Suddenly Ling Cang and Cheng Ji came to see them off. , then got up and rushed to the small train station on Zhongzheng Street.Zhang Xing bought four tickets with eight cents, and they took the bus to Xiaguan together.Ling Cang and Cheng Ji had to be sent across the river, but Yuan Sun insisted on saying goodbye, and entrusted the family affairs until the ferry was about to leave before parting.Yuan Sun was still escorted by Zhang Xing, and it was not early to get up, and the train was delayed for half an hour for some reason. The two master and servant crossed the river and rushed to Jinpu Station, and it took only ten minutes to leave the train.Yuan Sun bought a third-class ticket for thirteen yuan and fifty cents, and took the food box, bedroll and small suitcase to the car. The luggage tag was buckled in the suitcase, and when he got on the car, he found a seat and gave Zhang Xing two yuan. As soon as the money was sent away, the car started driving.Since I miss my mother and younger brother, my future is uncertain, my mood is chaotic, ups and downs like a tide, I don't want to be troublesome for a while, get angry, and make a bosom friend. The old man, surnamed Chen Bojian, was a well-known politician at the time and lived in Shanghai. He had recently offended the ruling party in the province because of something, and felt that he could not stay in the south any longer.At that time, when the Anhui Clan was in full swing, he had many old friends among them, and wanted to go to Beijing to avoid the wind, so he seized the opportunity to take action, and specially took a third-class car northward in a low-clothes and anonymously.The enemy decided that he must pass by the sea, and had already secretly dispatched detectives, but he was willing to do so, but unexpectedly, he was bold and resourceful, and first pretended to be a businessman from Shanghai to Zhenjiang, and then took the train from Zhenjiang to Nanjing at the right time, then crossed the river immediately, changed trains and headed north. Break through two important hurdles in a row.After waiting for too many days, the opponent realized that it was too late.The old and the young hit it off immediately, and they talked a little bit about each other's life experiences, and gradually talked about their educational aspirations, and they became closer.Bo Jian then said to Yuan Sun, "I am temporarily staying at the home of a good friend in Beijing's Old Lianzi Hutong. In the future, I may rent another house and bring my family members here. If my brother comes to Beijing, please meet and interview me." A man in the officialdom, his knowledge and conversation are very elegant, and his temperament is particularly bold. When he only talks about his official career experience, he always responds vaguely, but when it comes to poetry and the current situation, he talks sharply and clearly. However, Chujiao's refusal to confide in Xingzang is also human, and he didn't care. After talking for a while, they ordered two guests of rice and one of clear soup, took out the food box, and invited Bojian to share.Seeing that all the dishes in the food box were exquisite, Bo Jian asked, "my brother has already been so particular about his diet when he goes out, so you can imagine it on weekdays." Yuan Sun was afraid that he might misunderstand. Gaoliang Wanbei was first-class, so he told how his mother was good at running the family, how loyal and diligent the nurse was, how good at cooking, and how his father was in Japan. , I shouldn’t enjoy it here, it’s just for the love of the old mother, the wet nurse cares too much, and the food and utensils are extremely thoughtful, so I can’t bear to refuse and reluctantly bring them.Before he finished speaking, Bo Jian said: "My brother is a good man, but the words are roundabout. In life, you can't make virtues, make contributions, and be a model for the world. You should do what you can and enjoy it as you like. It is worthwhile. One life. Otherwise, when young, ignorant, old and decayed, only from twenty to fifty or sixty years, and the short thirty years in between, it is tasteless to let it pass in a dull way. It is also like worrying and working hard all the year round, without any enjoyment, let alone It's worth it. It's big for the country and the people, and small for the family. People must do things, and they can't do things as they want. Don't talk about youth, even the elderly should work hard and endure hardships. Endure hardship when it is time to endure hardship, and enjoy it when you can enjoy it. Only then can you be worthy of yourself. "Enjoyment is the duty of life. I can only do it. It is the harvest I deserve due to my talent. It cannot be regarded as a luxury. If I don't have any skills and my family returns to poverty, even if I want him to enjoy it, I can't do it. Inch long, with rich seats and thick shoes, is what his grandfather and father harvested. It is not too evil to indulge in extravagance. The blame is due to incompetence. He only knows how to enjoy it for a while and cannot keep it for a long time. Enjoying solid happiness and suffering is also a Good things, how can you know happiness without experiencing suffering? Don’t worry about enjoying too much, suffering can be happy but not suffering. As long as you can endure hard work to the bitter end, don’t say that the mere food and clothing are just chariots, horses and palaces. Life has hobbies Enjoyment is all about extravagance and extravagance. As long as you don’t kill more creatures and infringe others, there will be no hindrance. But you have to be open-minded. If you don’t have enough food and clothing yesterday, you will suddenly become rich today. I am used to it. When I suddenly disintegrate, or even fall into the beggar team, I have to be indifferent, so I can be regarded as a superhero. You must know that my life is not easy, and only with me can I get the things outside of me. In times of poverty and adversity, cherish everything If you divide your mind and body, you will have more hope and enjoyment in the future. Anger and worry are useless to harm your body and promote life. It is useless to be hurt by your loved ones and quickened by your enemies. Overcoming difficulties is still up to you, and no one can help you. . "In the past few decades, I have seen many rich and noble people. Some of them came from the fields. Although they are bold and unrestrained, I have never seen them. Although they can't distinguish between good and evil, they finally found money and they can use it. There are people who are stingy by nature, spend all their efforts to collect their savings, and move more than tens of millions. Not only do they treat people with nothing, but they spend their own food and clothing. , Once you let go and go home, you can’t take a penny with you, and it will increase your infinite care and pain when you die. Money is the most filthy thing in the world, but it can make people proud. Life can’t be without food and clothing, and it can’t be exchanged without it. Gong Daxian still seeks profit by breeding goods, and it is valued by the ancestors. Kong Ming has been farming, and he has been known throughout the ages. If he is a poor man with no money, what can he use to make Longzhong and sleep in the thatched cottage? To travel around the world, to see the mountains and rivers, to form a three-pointed tripod and a long-standing pair. Therefore, people should not only know how to change money, but also know how to use money. Only when they can find it and use it can they enjoy the blessing of money. No, what's the fun of guarding those piles of smelly papers that have been touched by tens of thousands of people and fumigated with stinky sweat? Anyway, it won't work, so I just have to hang around the gates of major Chinese and foreign banks for a few minutes. Second, for example, I have deposited tens of millions of funds, or I own all the money, isn’t it the same? "I see that my brother is a restrained man, with a gentle personality and a brilliance. He will eventually stand out in the future. It is especially rare for him to be insightful and thorough. He has neither grandiose air nor pedantic words. He is an extremely smart man. , all the way through the conversation, there is no exception. Although what I said just now is not contrary to my heart, it must be because I asked, I may suspect that you have a hakama habit. It is obvious that you have no intention of doing this in the midst of hardships and progress. A gift from a loving mother and a nursing mother, but adding a few words of Taoism to embellish it, it seems fake. To be honest, I have been running around for half my life, read a lot of people, and I know a lot about it. Talking with each other, I didn't treat my younger brother as an outsider more and more. Maybe there are still many things we need each other in the future. Although I am close to old age, I still have the state of a mad slave. When we get along with each other in the future, no matter how good or evil things are, how beautiful or ugly, if we can So straight to the point, without the slightest politeness, the friendship is even deeper. "Originally, a gossip is not worth talking about. Because I met nineteen walking corpses in my life and used each other. I have never had a real relationship with Qin Xichu. Deed. Recently, the scholars in Jinghua are depressed, and it is not a sign of prosperity. I have no choice but to come. My brother is a young and promising man. Instead of moving south, he will go north. Wangmen is full of this generation, for fear of eyes and ears Indulged, infected with the habit of tactful demeanor, modesty, and abandoning the true self, my brother has fallen into aspirations, and the country and society need one less talent. I deliberately use this word to make crazy remarks, so that my brother knows that all hardships and hardships can be overcome by ourselves. Again, right, wrong, reputation is up to me, not to others. Everything must be focused on the big picture, and you don’t have to worry about ordinary people’s comments. There are no people in the world, and those who lose the other will gain here. It’s better to have a good confidant than to deal with thousands of mediocrities. Like my brother’s It is enough to be smart and resolute, but if you enlarge your courage and refine your mind, you will be in control of everything, and you will never suffer from a day of no success." Yuan Sun coughed for a while when he saw him get into the car, and coughed again after this long speech, and he kept coughing, but he still didn't stop talking. He also admired his eloquent speech. This old man has a firm mind and is full of vigor and affection, so it is inconvenient to stop him from talking, so he was obedient and poured tea twice in a row.伯坚见元苏始终留心静听不懈，越发高兴，茶来便饮。元荪等他说完，方始请教，并承认自己实是怕他多心，伯坚笑道：“老弟不以鄙言为河汉，真乃快事，自幸一切均是识途老马，到京以后不妨常来见顾，不问事业前途，日常一切，于老弟多少总有点益处呢。”元荪笑道：“老先生老成练达，识见高远，将来领受教益之处正多，只到北京必去拜望的。”伯坚随问元苏天津下车有多少日耽搁？实居何家？北京是否住在令姊丈家里？元荪笑说：“此行重在北京，因为家伯现住天津，已有数年未见，前往省视，至多不过半月耽搁。北京住处现还不能算定，不过家姊那里是必要去看望的，就不在彼寄居也必留有住址。如有见教之处，电话一问即知。”伯坚便从身上取出日记本，将两处地名门牌记好。 饭早用完，茶房撤去盘碗，收拾干净，泡了茶来。伯坚笑问：“老弟，饭后怎不吃支香烟，敢是怕我咳嗽么？”元荪道：“烟乃朋友所赠，本来无瘾，抽否均可，何必为此阻扰谈兴？”伯坚道：“我这咳嗽病已有多年，稍微劳累便须咳上一阵，已成宿疾，不可治疗，与烟无干，老弟但抽无妨。你我一见投契，请为忘年之交，以弟兄相称，不要再喊老先生，何如？”元荪应了，又问道：“咳嗽小病，怎会多年治不好呢？”伯坚笑道：“想是造物见我话多，故以痼疾相遗，好使少说两句也未可知。此事说来话长，等到北京见面再详说吧。”元荪也未再深问。长途迢迢，得此良伴，俱都欣慰非常，一路清谈娓娓，不觉夜深。元荪见全车客人多半卧倒，没占着铺位的都各靠着窗角椅背东倒西歪，沉沉睡去，鼾声四起。取出怀表一看，短针正指两点，便请伯坚安歇。这一谈反倒忘了心事，加以昨晚不曾睡好，合眼便自入睡。因睡里床，伯坚早醒，见他睡得甚香，知劳乏缺睡，早把车票要过，放在一起，遇查票人来代为交看，没去唤他。直睡到九时才醒。元荪见伯坚对于自己关爱备至，诚恳已极，不由生了穷途之感。
