Ding Youwei, wearing a Han Palace high bun and a plain gauze skirt, stepped onto the ground in Chenjiawu. Her tears couldn't stop streaming down her face. She quickly wiped them away, and then stood beside the car, looking at Zongzhi and Run'er with a smile.
Zongzhi and Run'er looked at their mother Ding Youwei, unable to wake up for a moment. It had been four years since Ding Youwei left Chenjiawu. The two younger siblings were so used to seeing their mother in Ding's villa that they almost forgot that their mother had lived in Chenjiawu.
six years——
A Xiu and Yu Yan got out of the car behind. A Xiu said: "Hey, Miss Run'er and Mr. Zongzhi, don't you recognize your mother?"
Zongzhi and Run'er then shouted in unison: "Mother--" and ran over and nestled in Ding Youwei's arms.
Ding Youwei knelt down and hugged the two children, raised his head and asked Chen Caozhi: "Xiao Lang, how is Auntie?"
Chen Cao said: "My mother is fine. Doctor Yang has diagnosed and treated her. She is fine for the time being. My mother is reciting "Laozi's Five Thousand Essays" in the Heming Hall. I don't know that my sister-in-law is coming. I have to go and tell my mother first.
"Shout, otherwise she will be so happy that she suddenly sees you, sister-in-law, and her body won't be able to bear it."
Last night, Liu Shangzhi and Yang Quan rested at Ding's villa. This morning, Ding Youwei learned from Ding Chunqiu that Chen's mother, Li, was in poor health. By that time, Liu Shangzhui and Yang Quan had already left Ding's villa and headed to Chen's house.
Ding Youwei didn't know the exact situation, but seeing that Xiao Lang wanted to invite a famous doctor from Wu County, Agu's condition was obviously not serious——
Ding Youwei was very anxious, so she asked Ding Chunqiu to accompany her to meet her uncle Ding Yi, saying that she was going to Chenjiawu to visit her aunt. When Ding Yi was silent, Ding Youwei knelt down and said, "Uncle, it is said in the Book of Filial Piety."
The nature of heaven and earth is that human beings are precious; nothing can be greater than filial piety." Although Youwei has left Chenjiawu, Chen Caozhi's mother will always be my aunt. Now that she is ill, I will not visit her.
Isn't it a great act of unfilial piety? I hope my uncle will take pity on you and allow Youwei to go to Chenjiawu to visit my aunt."
Ding Chunqiu also begged for Ding Youwei's mercy. Ding Yi hesitated for a while and said, "It's okay to go. I'll go today. I have to come back tomorrow. Youwei, you have to promise your uncle personally."
Ding Youwei had no choice but to promise to go back today and return tomorrow, so he went back to the small courtyard and hurriedly packed his bags, then took Axiu and Yuyan, accompanied by Ding Chunqiu, and came to Chenjiawu despite the scorching heat at noon. He was worried all the way, for fear of Axiu
What happened to my aunt? Now that I heard Chen Caozhi say that my aunt is not seriously ill, I feel relieved.
At this time, Laifu, Zeng Yuhuan and his wife came to pay homage to the young mistress. When the elders and family members in the East Tower, South Tower, and North Tower heard that Ding Youwei was back, they gathered together and greeted her warmly, and Ding Youwei was overwhelmed.
Chen Caozhi asked his sister-in-law Ding Youwei to take a step back. He went to Heming Hall to see his mother first. Her mother had a bad heart and would be so happy that she suddenly saw Ding Youwei.
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, recited "Laozi's Five Thousand Essays" in front of the statues of Lao Dan, the founder of Taoism, and the three gods of "Heaven, Earth, and Water". She stood up and asked, "Chou, why is it so noisy in the courtyard?"
Chen Caozhi said: "Mom, sister-in-law has come back to visit you." He said and held his mother's arm.
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, was stunned for a moment, then she said happily: "Is it Youwei? Youwei -" Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, called out and hurried out.
Chen Caozhi said quickly: "Mom, don't worry, my sister-in-law is coming upstairs, and her younger brother Ding Chunqiu is also here."
Mrs. Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, slowed down her steps and said, "Youwei's younger brother is also here. Chou'er needs to greet him well."
At this time, Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, saw the elegant and elegant Ding Youwei in a plain white dress walking up, holding Zongzhi with her left hand and Run'er with her right hand. She was so happy that her hands trembled and she called out: "Youwei——"
Chen Caozhi said hurriedly: "Mom, my sister-in-law heard that you were in poor health, so she begged her uncle to come and visit you. Medical books say that 'happy and sad', mother, don't be too happy, as it is not good if you are sick."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, felt her heart beating so fast, so she stopped, calmed down her mood, and called softly: "Youwei, you are back."
Ding Youwei let go of the hands of the two children, lightly lifted the skirt of her skirt, walked in front of Mrs. Chen's mother Li, and called out: "Auntie--" and knelt down at the feet of Mrs. Chen's mother, Li, choked with sobs.
Mrs. Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, gently touched Ding Youwei's high bun and said with tears: "Good boy, good boy, I thought I would never see you again -"
Chen Caozhi had been paying attention to his mother's expression and was worried that her mother's mood was too volatile. At this time, he said, "Mom, sister-in-law, come into the room to talk. Sister-in-law hasn't even had time to take a sip of tea."
"Youwei, get up quickly." Chen's mother Li stretched out her hand and gently touched Latin Youwei's arm. Ding Youwei stood up, and Chen Cao and Chen Cao helped Chen's mother Li to the small hall next to Heming Hall.
.
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, looked at Ding Youwei lovingly, which made Ding Youwei feel a little embarrassed, and said, "Auntie, I haven't had time to wash up yet. It's so hot and I'm sweating a lot."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, became sad. She held Ding Youwei's hand and said with tears: "When I see Youwei, the old woman thinks of my son Qing. Qingzhi is no longer here. The old woman doesn't pity him. I only pity Youwei."
Lonely—"
Tears welled up in Ding Youwei's eyes. Although Chen Caozhi told her downstairs not to let her mother be overjoyed or sad, the tears couldn't be stopped now.
At this time, Ding Chunqiu stood on the corridor and called: "Zizhong, I'm here to see Aunt Chen."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, then stopped her lamentation and asked to know that Ding Chunqiu and Chen Caozhi were classmates in Wu County and had a close friendship. Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, was very pleased.
At dinner, Chen Caozhi dined with Yang Quan and Ding Chunqiu, and Ding Youwei dined with Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, in the room. The initial emotions of joy and sorrow had calmed down. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, who had not seen each other for four years, chatted and felt very happy.
.
At night, Ding Chunqiu and Yang Quan were playing chess in Chen Caozhi's study. This torreya wood chessboard and jade chess pieces were given to Chen Caozhi by Xie Daoyun. That time Xie Daoyun came to Chenjiawu with Chen Caozhi to rest for the night.
Cao Zhi was surprised to find no Go in his study, and said: "Zizhong, you really don't have Go here, how did you develop your chess skills!" Then he gave the precious chessboard and chess pieces to Chen
Fuck it.
Yang Quan's chess skills were low, and Ding Chunqiu was also a low-handed player. The two of them fought hard against each other.
Chen Caozhi watched for a while, then quietly left the study with his Keting flute and went to his mother's bedroom on the second floor to prepare to play music for his mother. His mother said that every time she listened to his recorder music, she felt at ease.
You can also sleep better.
Ding Youwei, Zongzhi, and Runer were all in Chen's mother Li's bedroom, but the four maids Xiaochan, Qingzhi, Axiu, and Yuyan were chattering in Chen Caozhi's bedroom. Seeing Chen Caozhi walking by, Xiaochan immediately chased him out and said
: "Young Master, the weather is sultry. The four of us will come here and sit and talk. Otherwise, it will be even hotter if we are all crowded into one room."
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "The four sisters are resting on the corridor and listening to me playing music."
Qingzhi, Axiu and Yuyan all came out, leaning on the railing and talking softly.
Seeing Chen Caozhi come in, Chen's mother Li said to Ding Youwei, who was sitting on the eaves of the box in front of the bed: "Liu Chou has come to play the recorder. I don't know when he learned the recorder. He plays it very well. Youwei
Haven’t you heard of it?”
After Ding Youwei took a bath, she combed her hair into a ponytail, wore a light and thin dress, her eyebrows were picturesque, and her skin was like jade. She held a round fan in her hand and gently fanned Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, to cool off. She looked at Chen Caozhi again and again.
He sat down on the other side of the box eaves and said with a smile: "I heard Xiao Lang play it once last year. Of course Xiao Lang is good at it. Otherwise, why would even the famous Huan Yihuan join the army and give him the extremely precious Keting flute?
!”
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, smiled at her son and said to Ding Youwei: "Liu Chou is so strange. He can also draw. I have never seen him draw before." Even so, her tone was not strange at all, but full of love.
and gratified.
Ding Youwei said: "Yes, Xiaolang's talent often surprises me. In addition to his talent, the main reason is that Xiaolang is very diligent. Auntie, look at how many books Xiaolang has copied this year."
Run'er said: "Yes, it's such a thick stack, even taller than Run'er."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, took her son's hand and gently rubbed it, saying, "The middle fingers of both hands are calloused by the pen, so don't study too hard, do you hear me?"
Chen Caozhi smiled and said: "Mom, I was not afraid of hardship when I was young. Isn't my son getting stronger and stronger?"
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, laughed and said, "How can you say you are strong? People like Laide and Xiaosheng are strong."
Ding Youmi stared at Chen Caozhi and said: "Xiao Lang's body can be called strong compared to before. Xiao Lang is so tall. He was about the same height as me a year ago, but now he is half taller than me."
Too big."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, laughed and said: "What's the use of being tall? No girl has taken a fancy to him yet, and no matchmaker has come to propose marriage. This is what worries the old woman the most now."
Ding Youwei covered half of her face with a fan and laughed loudly, and said: "Auntie, haven't you heard that when the young man came back from Wu County before the Dragon Boat Festival, the girls and ladies from Wu County expressed their love to him and gave him sachets?
There are dozens of them. If a young man still has to worry about his marriage, no man in the world will be able to find a wife."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, shook her head and said with a smile: "Those are countless things. If we really want to get married one day, then I, a mother, will die in peace."
Ding Youwei glanced at Chen Cao, then turned to Chen's mother Li and said, "Auntie, please don't rush Xiaolang. With Xiaolang's talent and appearance, and now he is a sixth-rank official, he must marry a noble girl."
A perfect match."
Chen's mother, Mrs. Li, had lingering fears about the difficulty Chen Qingzhi had in marrying Ding Youwei, but since Youwei was by her side, of course she couldn't say anything more. She just said: "It would be nice to marry a noble girl, but for someone as virtuous as your sister-in-law, six
Chou, are you so lucky to meet me?"
Chen Caozhi just smiled and said nothing.
Ding Youwei said: "Liu Chou is a very lucky person, he will meet a better one."
Today is Chen's mother Li's happiest day since Qingzhi's death. Her son has been officially ordered, and Youwei can come back to visit her again. A pair of lovely grandchildren listen to their elders with their big, bright eyes. This is a family relationship.
So happy——
A wisp of flute sound swirled in the room, bright and melodious, and the four maids Xiaochan on the corridor were also fascinated by it. At this moment every night, the entire Wubao would become quiet, and the Chens on the east, south, and north floors
The clan members are all listening to the sound of Chen Caozhi's flute. The sound of the flute gives people a sense of certainty and peace. It makes people feel that when the sun rises tomorrow, the Qiantang Chen family will become more prosperous.
