Chapter 13: A chance visit to the ancestral hall to visit my uncle
As expected, Yu Meixue was shocked as she never expected that her niece could guess the truth.
Subconsciously shaking his head and waving his hands, Li Yaoguang retorted no, but Li Yaoguang no longer believed it. He was only convinced that his guess was true. If he didn't listen to his aunt's misleading, he was convinced.
"Auntie, please don't hide it from me. I'm not stupid. I know the taste of ginseng. Besides, with the situation you and my uncle are in, your monthly money is often deducted. Where can you find the extra money to buy me ginseng? It must be my little uncle. Uncle thought about it! Now that the incident has happened, my uncle was beaten by his eccentric and cowardly mother. Where is he now? Is he kneeling in the ancestral hall? "
< br>
Seeing that her niece had hit the mark, now that there was nothing to hide anymore, Yu Meixue nodded sadly and said yes.
Li Yaoguang felt guilty and blamed himself, so he became angry. He was extremely bitter towards the unlucky Hou Mansion and the unlucky feudal society, but he couldn't vent it in front of his aunt. After thinking about it, he took it out of his arms, which was actually transferred from the space. Two silver coins were given to the other party.
"Auntie, take the money."
"What?" Yu Meixue was stunned at first, but when she saw clearly what her niece had stuffed in her hand, Yu Meixue became anxious, "Where did you get this money, Guang'er?"
"Don't panic, aunt. I earned this. You can take these two taels first. It doesn't matter whether you use them to order food in the kitchen when you are greedy, or you can keep them for giving and socializing on weekdays. It's useful and it doesn't matter. The grass is green and the willows are green, they don’t want to obey.”
"No, where will your child get the money? I don't want it, I have money."
"Auntie, don't lie to me. Where did you get the money? If you were really rich, how could the green grass and green willows be like that just now? What Grandma Houfu said is quite nice. I know what it is like. My uncle said that it is done every twelfth month. Yang Yang eight taels, you still have five taels, but what’s the result? In which month can you Did you get it on time and in full? Auntie, you and my uncle are the only ones who have dedicated their lives to raising me and saving me, but they don’t allow me to repay a favor. This is my filial piety. If my aunt doesn’t take it, then I won’t live here either. I’m here, I’ll take a broken bowl and go out to beg for food tomorrow.”
Yu Meixue held the money and looked at her niece's actions. She didn't know that this was a child pretending to be naive to make her happy?
But because of this, Yu Meixue lamented that relatives are always relatives. No matter when and where she is, she will always remember you and know how good you are to her.
After thinking about it, Yu Meixue was not pretentious. She accepted the money with a smile, and did not forget to praise the child, "Okay, okay, I will also enjoy my niece's filial piety." Waiting for the money to go to Kangwei Duobao Pavilion. After putting it in the box, Yu Meixue sighed in a funny voice, "I never expected that I would be blessed with a child at such a young age."
Li Yaoguang didn't mind being teased by his aunt and being able to dress up and entertain her, but thinking of his uncle who was beaten and made to kneel for him, Li Yaoguang said again: "Auntie, you haven't visited my uncle's house yet, have you? Why don’t we prepare something and I’ll stop by to take a look, so we can feel at ease?”
Yu Meixue didn't want to see anything, she was thinking too much! Isn't this because of the family law, and the government was also strict with concubines like them? She was afraid that her rash actions would make her husband's crime worse, so Yu Meixue had been tolerant until now.
Now that the niece is talking about it, Yu Meixue is happy and worried, but when it comes to her words, she disagrees.
"Forget it, the rules in the mansion are strict. Not to mention that the ancestral hall is not close to our green garden. There are countless maids and women along the way. They have too many eyes, so they can get it smoothly. Your uncle is kneeling in the ancestral hall, and there are still people guarding it. I'm afraid that I won't be able to see you. If I'm found and sued, your uncle might be... Well, forget it, it's better not to go."
"Auntie, people in this mountain have their own clever ideas. Don't worry. In this way, my uncle went to the ancestral hall yesterday to see if the water and rice were not in because of the urine of the Marquis Mansion. I just happened to buy some cakes. You can quickly pack some out. Also, is there any cold water or tea in the house? If so, bring a pot. Just put it in the food box I just brought. I’ll send it to you right away.”
"Do you really have a way? Doesn't it matter?"
"Don't worry, I'll go try it. If I don't see anyone, I'll come back. I'm a cousin from Waibalu. I'm a relative after all. The Marquis has to keep his face. Even if he finds out, he won't take me." How about it, aunt, get ready quickly.”
"Okay, okay, I'll go right away." After hearing what her niece said, Yu Meixue also hurriedly started to move, "Just in the morning, I boiled a pot of boiling water in the side room behind my back. It should be Once it’s cooled down, I’ll find something to put it on and you’ll take it with me.”
"Okay."
Not long after, the aunt and nephew put the peach cakes, mung bean cakes, a pot of cold boiled rice, and a big pear into the eating box. Under the eyes of the little cousin, Li Yaoguang smiled and ordered the rest. The aunt asked her to put it in the room where snacks were usually placed. The little cousin then laughed with satisfaction and continued to work hard on the big pear in his hand.
Missing his uncle, Li Yaoguang didn't stay long and was about to leave.
Yu Meixue sent Li Yaoguang to the gate of Green Garden, not forgetting Yin Yin's instructions, "Guang'er, be more careful. If you don't see anyone, take care of yourself and don't conflict with others."
"Don't worry, auntie, I know."
After bidding farewell to his reluctant aunt, Li Yaoguang took the food box and bypassed the avenue that the servants used to walk. He avoided people and took the less crowded path towards the ancestral hall. He successfully avoided two groups of servants sweeping the house along the way. We arrived at the gate of the ancestral hall smoothly.
Looking at the position of the sun in the sky, it was about to fall. It was probably early in the morning. At that time, there was no one outside. The two large black doors of the ancestral hall were closed tightly, and there were still faint sounds of voices inside.
Li Yaoguang moved lightly, knowing that with his status, he might not be able to open the door. Although the ancestral hall was in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, it still had high walls and heavy doors. He had short hands and feet, and no tools to assist him, so he went in naturally. No.
Fortunately, although this wall is high, it is beautiful. There are hollow windows every few meters on the wall, which gives her some convenience.
Li Yaoguang tiptoed and picked an empty window on the wall closest to the door. He put down his food box and climbed up as lightly as a monkey. He tried his best to grab the edge of the window, stepped on the wall with his toes, and put his face against the cold wall blocking the wall. On the bricks, I listened carefully and watched what was going on inside, and I saw two women sitting opposite each other behind the thick black wooden door.
A woman was pulling on the hem of her clothes to fan herself, complaining, "This damn weather is so hot in May. In previous years, it was still cool at this time."
The other woman saw that her companion was impatient, so she smiled and comforted her, "Sister, I'm afraid you are so angry that you feel the heat is unbearable."
Fanfeng Granny spat, and couldn't help but nod in agreement, "I'm afraid, seeing Tian Tian doing such a boring job, I can't even get angry if I don't want to be angry, how can I be like you, with a broad heart and a fat body, no wonder Not hot.”
"Haha, why are you making fun of me, sister?"
When Li Yaoguang heard this, she secretly retracted her little head, landed lightly, looked around a few times, and found that there was a large bush of roses not far away that completely covered her body. She carried the food box and ran over lightly.
After looking around and making sure that no one was around, Li Yaoguang stepped into the space with the food box. After putting down the food box, she ran to her small recording room.
She had already had a way to enter the ancestral hall in her mind just now, and now she only had to test whether it could be done.
