The Analects of Righteous Father’s Collapse
45 Chapter 45
Hu Guirong's old lady has always been in poor health, and she has been hanging on medicine all the year round. This is why Hu Guirong made a lot of money by hunting, but did not save at all.
But no matter how good the medicine didn't work, his blind mother finally couldn't hold it anymore, and died in the spring.
There are few relatives in the Hu family, but Hu Guirong is usually a good person and some neighbors are pretty good. With their help, the funeral of the blind mother is also a lively event.
"Now you are not dragged down, Yun Niang is also widowed over there, it is better to find someone to talk and make peace, and to renew the leading edge with Yun Niang."
At the funeral, Hu Guirong's good friends advised him.
"Don't talk nonsense, but Yunzi's son is very promising. He became Xiu Cai Gong at the age of seven. You said that Xiu Cai's master would watch his mother remarry? You are not helping Rong Zi, but harming him."
"Eh, no mention, no mention, everyone drinks."
Everyone talked about Hu Guirong's ugly expression, and quickly changed the subject.
Since Madam Yun was married, Hu Guirong wouldn't let them talk to each other in front of him, saying that it was harmful to the other party's reputation. She was afraid that her husband's family would hear gossip, which was bad for her.
Even if the husband of the other party has passed away for many years, Hu Guirong still refuses to mention it, because for widows, fame is more important.
Today is also because of the funeral of his blind maiden. I thought that Hu Guirong would be lonely in the future, and everyone just mentioned Meng Yunniang at his own displeasure.
"I have to go into the mountains a few days later. This time I will go deeper. I have to ask you to look after this yard."
Hu Guirong was at a position where Rexiao could not drink, so he replaced the sake with a bowl of hot tea in front of him, and gave these friends a glass of wine.
"We have big bugs in the mountains, what are you going to do to go to the mountains?"
Upon hearing his words, several friends were startled.
"I just think it's too dangerous to keep living by hunting. You also know that my father, my grandfather, and my grandfather all died in the mountains, and now my mother is no longer there. Take an adventure once, if you can hit the big worm, the money in exchange is enough for me to set up a small shop and live a stable life."
What Hu Guirong didn't say was that he wanted to settle down and guard Meng Yunniang from afar.
"Why do you take such a risk? You earn enough money from hunting on weekdays. It used to be a long time because of the aunt’s illness. Now that the aunt is gone, you can save money by saving money. You can save for three to five years. It’s money, and when it’s time to marry a wife and give birth to three or two fat boys, isn’t it good?
If the big worm is so easy to hit, all the hunters in the world have gone to the mountains to fight the big worm. It is not because of that powerful thing. However, all the hunters who hit its idea have died for a lifetime, so the price is particularly high.
Hu Guirong wants to fight now, but it's almost the same as fighting.
"I have a safe business here. It's better for you."
Hu Guirong, a friend who darts with a dart, said after thinking: "The day after tomorrow, a pair of mothers and sons entered Beijing because they feared that there might be robbers along the way. They wanted to hire a strong martial arts strongman to protect them with them, because it was time-consuming to go to Beijing It’s a long time. Many dart masters with wives and children at home are not willing to take over this job. You need money now, and you are not burdened by your family. You can try it.”
"It takes less than two months to go back and forth to Beijing, and the other party is willing to pay eight or two dollars, and when you go to Beijing, you can get some fresh goods from there and come back to sell it, making a difference, although you can't beat the big worm , You can win in safety."
These remarks moved Hu Guirong to go to the mountains to fight the big worms. He had no absolute certainty. If he really died in the mountains, Yun Niang was bullied by others, and he would not be able to protect her behind her.
"It's just that I am still filial piety."
Hu Guirong was still a little hesitant. He was afraid that his employer would betray him.
"What's wrong with that, the little master said, he didn't shy away from it soon after he had just been filial piety."
Hu Guirong's friend, a dartist, comforted that if the employer did not speak first, he would not take the initiative to mention this business.
"Okay, at what time, I took this job."
Hu Guirong nodded, but listening to the description of his friend just now, he always felt that it was a bit coincidental, but he didn't think much about it.
*****
On the third day, Hu Guirong waited for the employer to arrive at the agreed dock, but when he saw the mother and son of Yun, they realized that their instinct was not wrong that day.
"why you!"
Meng Yunniang's voice was a bit astringent, but she really didn't expect that the escort who escorted them to Beijing was Hu Guirong.
"I will go to the dart board and ask them to change to a dart master."
Hu Guirong felt that Meng Yunniang should be reluctant to meet him. If he refused to elope with her, she would not marry Jiang Dachun or become a widow.
"No, the ship is about to sail."
How could Jiang Liu let Hu Guirong go? He thought about it and used this method to abduct people to the capital.
"Your strength, help me carry these two boxes."
Jiang Liu pointed at the two large camphor boxes filled with salutes and directed at Hu Guirong.
"Oh."
Hu Guirong was a little embarrassed, but he subconsciously carried the poles along the river, picked up the two large boxes on the boat, and forgot to say that he had just changed to a dartsman.
"Aren't you kiddies?"
Meng Yunniang twisted her son's ear hard and guessed it was the kid's ghost idea.Originally she thought that her son died of the heart, and now it seems that he has never forgotten it from beginning to end.
"Mother, you have wronged me, but I did nothing."
Jiang Liu innocently spread his hand: "This may be fate."
"Look, the boat is on. Uncle Hu can't get off the boat even if he wants to change people. If you really don't want to get along with Uncle Hu, you can endure these two months."
The river flow was a good time. There was not much time left when they arrived at the pier. He then directed Hu Guirong to send their salute to the cabin, and when the thing arrived, the ship should also open By the way, the two couldn't be bothered to make trouble.
"Anyway, no one knows us on the way to Beijing, let's talk about it, we know the truth about Uncle Hu, he is more reliable than other dart masters, and Uncle Hu is tall and strong. Generally, gangsters don't see Uncle Hu. Dare to do it with us, it can't be safer."
Jiangliu spoke to the beauty lady, Meng Yunniang listened silently, and did not refute, it seems to be the default.
******
At night, Hu Guirong ventilated on the ship's board. The river did not know when to get out of the cabin and sat beside him.
"You like my mother!"
These words are firm, without any hesitation.
"It's too cold, you will catch cold."
Hu Guirong answered what was not asked, but in his heart, Jiang Liu asked him why this question was carried with malicious intent or with goodwill.Although the child was small, he was a talented prodigy. He didn't dare to underestimate the child's brain, nor did he think of fooling the child by fooling him.
"No, the cotton-padded jacket my mother sewed me is thick."
The night on the river is always very cold, so Jiangliu put on his winter jacket, and he didn't feel cold at all.
"You haven't answered me yet, do you like my mother?"
Jiang Liu asked again, he felt that the adults of this era were hypocritical, and they were squeamish, not open at all.
"I have a business. After I went to Beijing, I still lacked a trustworthy person to help. If you want, you will stay in Beijing." Jiang Liu watched that Hu Guirong kept silent and changed the subject altogether.
"Oh, if you want to marry my mother, you have to wait at least a few years."
Not waiting for Hu Guirong to answer, he stood up and patted Hu Guirong's shoulder while sitting.
"Why have to wait a few years?"
The doubts in Hu Guirong's heart blurted out.
Mock up, just dare not admit to like him!
Jiang Liu smiled: "Naturally I have to wait a few years, when I won the first prize in the exam. At that time, if my mother was willing to marry, I would send her out with ten miles of red makeup."
Only a show is not enough. He has to stand taller to fight the secular etiquette.
Jiangliu pointed to the distant sky, and felt that he who spoke these words was very smart.
