Chapter 157 Forgot
Shen Xiaoye said seriously: "Distance does not separate relatives.
Grandpa, is there anything else going on here?"
Grandfather Shen Shanyou pondered for a moment and said, "I only know that your aunt left Weizhou with her mother when she was three years old, and then went to Beijing, the original capital, and after failing to find her relatives, she ended up in Qiu County.
After our two families met, your uncle and aunt grew up together as childhood sweethearts, and they got married before her mother passed away.
When we were discussing marriage, we learned that your aunt's surname was Wang, her parents were separated, and her father served in the Northwest Army.
My family liked her as long as her family background was clean, and they didn’t ask any deeper questions. ”
"My grandparents are upright people, and my aunt is also capable." Shen Xiaoye was not stingy in praising his family.
Then he added: “Mr. Wang, just take the jade pendant and state your name, and your identity will be verified.
He is not very old and was probably not even born when his aunt left home.
It’s best to tell your aunt and let her make her own judgment.”
"What I'm considering is that your aunt hasn't given birth yet, and it might not be good if she gets too emotional." Shen Shanyou naturally hopes that his family will have many descendants.
Shen Xiaoye thought about it and agreed: "How about this, when my cousin wakes up tomorrow, we will talk to Mr. Wang.
After all, he has found this place and will go to Jiuli Village again at any time."
"That's fine." Shen Shanyou recalled Master Wang's fine clothes and said, "The Wang family should not be ordinary soldiers. I don't know what their purpose is in finding them now."
"No matter what his purpose is, my aunt is a member of our family." Shen Xiaoye believed that her aunt thought the same.
After making her plan, she ate dinner peacefully, but Master Wang on the other side received the group after they left, and quickly rode out of the city towards Jiuli Village.
The servant advised, "Master, please slow down, they won't run away.
And after we arrive, you really want to come to your house in the middle of the night to recognize your relatives?"
"Stop talking nonsense." Although Master Wang is not good at fighting, he is a good rider. He gallops on his horse in the twilight, not afraid of the people on the road at all.
He also kept looking back to urge the carriage behind him to go faster, so that when the carriage reached Tangjiaji, it lost its balance and fell into a ditch.
A middle-aged man in the car screamed: "My legs, my legs."
"Stop shouting, I'll find a doctor for you. You're useless. You can get injured even while riding in a carriage." Master Wang was almost furious. He was 80% sure that Shen Cungeng's mother was his sister. The only thing missing was the pawnshop clerk to come and identify her. But at the last moment, this guy was injured.
The servant stood by speechless and said, "It was because of your constant urging that he fell into the ditch."
……
The next morning, Shen Cungeng heard that he had an uncle for no apparent reason and was particularly surprised: "That Mr. Wang?"
Shen Xiaoye: "Not necessarily. Let's talk to him."
“What is there to talk about? A foreigner suddenly shows up. Could he be a liar?
How could it be such a coincidence? There are so many people in the world who look alike.
I think it’s better to ask for leave and ask my mother first.” When Shen Cungeng was a child, he wanted to visit relatives in his mother’s house during the New Year, but since he came back to live in Jiuli Village, he feels that relatives depend on fate.
“You should have another contact with Xiaoye to judge whether he is real or fake.
But we are just an ordinary family, there is nothing we can be cheated of." Shen Shanyou always believed this.
But Shen Cungeng was not like that. When he wanted to delay and think about it a little longer, his grandfather pushed him to go and meet him.
But God was on his side, as Master Wang was out and about.
Shen Xiaoye gave the copper coins and asked the gatekeeper: "Do you know where he went?"
The gatekeeper happily accepted it and said, "I heard a word about Jiuli Village."
"Oh no." Shen Cungeng turned and left. Although he was reluctant to come to the house for contact, he knew in his heart that he had to give his mother some buffer time first.
God knows why my grandmother divorced my mother and took her mother away from my grandfather's house.
"Cousin, let the Taoist priest be in charge of transporting the madder grass. Let's go home first." Even though it was late, they had to go back as soon as possible to check.
But when the three of us rode back to Jiuli Village, the house was peaceful and there was no sign of Young Master Wang at all.
Shen Xiaoye and her cousin looked at each other and looked at her aunt Huang who was giving her the accounts. "No guests at home?"
“Yes, after the Lantern Festival, people don’t always send cotton cloth.
Yesterday and the day before yesterday, your uncle and I went to Wuli Village and brought back all the cloth that we had collected from Erniu's family.
My cousin's wife said there are still eight families who haven't finished weaving. Please check the accounts." Huang urged her to check quickly.
Shen Xiaoye had no time to look at the accounts at the moment. When she was hesitating about what to say, her cousin said, "Mom, there's a man named Wang from Weizhou who came to see me and said he's my uncle."
Huang was slightly startled, then sighed and said, "Your grandfather's family name is Wang, but I can't remember what your brother looks like."
"Aunt, the man is probably less than 20 years old." Shen Xiaoye described Mr. Wang's appearance and said, "He only said that he was the son of Wang Jinghe in Weizhou, and he also had the jade pendant that you couldn't redeem after pawning it."
"Hiss..." Huang suddenly felt a pain in her stomach, which scared the two men. They quickly asked her to lie down.
When she saw Shen Xiaoye was about to call for help, she quickly grabbed her and said, "It's okay, I was kicked by the little naughty boy."
"Are you really okay?" Shen Xiaoye was suspicious and simply lay on her belly to listen, but there was no sound for a long time.
So he said, "It's better to find a doctor to take a look."
"I'll harness the carriage and go to Lingshan Temple." Shen Cungeng's face was full of nervousness, fearing that his mother would be upset after recalling some tragic past events.
So he ran out of the west room before he finished speaking. As a result, his father who was waiting outside saw him in a panic and also ran into the house in a panic.
As soon as he got to the kang, he asked, "Madam, where do you feel uncomfortable? Let me take a look."
Then, he pulled Shen Xiaoye aside without saying anything.
Shen Xiaoye simply came out first and vaguely heard her aunt saying, "...It's okay. I don't remember what the Wang family is like."
"Didn't your mother-in-law tell you the reason for the divorce?" Shen Changshou used to be worried that his daughter-in-law would feel bad, so he never asked about her family.
Huang smiled and said, “It’s just the oldest story, forgetting the old love when you find a new one.
My mother had long since let it go and never spoke ill of the Wang family. She only mentioned my brother occasionally, but I had long forgotten about it.
The Mr. Wang that Xiao Ye mentioned is most likely the new lover’s apprentice, so it’s better not to meet him.”
"Xiaoye, did you hear that? Go outside the village and stop those people." The uncle suddenly stood up, walked to the door and lifted the curtain, only to see Shen Xiaoye who was eavesdropping.
She rubbed her nose and said, "I'll go right away."
After that, I went to the east room to tell my grandparents and prepare to leave, but my grandmother Lin said, "When you see them, ask them why they wanted to look for someone after nearly 30 years."
"You don't even want to see your daughter-in-law, so what are you asking?" Grandpa Shen Shanyou could tell at a glance that Mr. Wang was a playboy from a wealthy family, and he didn't want his eldest grandson to come into contact with such people.
Lin: "Don't forget, the daughter-in-law's father may still be alive. She doesn't want to see other people, so what about her biological father? Is she waiting to be criticized for being unfilial?
Besides, Geng Ge'er is going to take the imperial examination, so reputation is important."
