Chapter 177 involuntarily
The arrival of Li Xun and others quickly attracted their attention.
The old lady in her fifties turned around and looked at her first glance when she saw You Mingyuan. Her face suddenly became gloomy and her eyes were full of disgust. However, when she saw You Min, she soon had a smile on her face and waved to her.
You Min looked at her father, and You Mingyuan looked up slightly, indicating that she could go over.
"This is my aunt, you go there with me."
You Min introduced it, then pulled Li Xun over.
"Auntie."
When he got closer, You Min screamed sweetly.
The old lady's smile became even more intense, and she held You Min's hand and said, "Child, I haven't seen you for almost ten years. Last time I met you, you were still a yellow-haired girl. Now they are all mothers, and they are more beautiful than before."
Youmin's mother's surname is Fang. Her family is engaged in grain trading. There are some land, but the business is not big, and there is not much land. However, in the village where she lives, the Fang family is one of the best big families.
Although You Min and the old lady haven't met for almost ten years, they have letters every year, so the old lady is naturally very clear about You Min's life and experience over the years.
You Min said: "Auntie, so many years have passed, and you are still in good spirits."
"I'm old, old."
Fang shook his head, looked at Li Xun, and said with a smile: "You are the eldest maid's husband Li Xun."
Li Xun nodded, smiled and bowed, "Hello, auntie, I'm the first time I met, junior Li Xun has greeted you."
"well."
Fang said a few good things in a row. She knew Li Xun's identity. Such a noble person had no airs at all, and was modest and gentle. Although it was the first time we met, Fang suddenly fell in love with Li Xun.
At this time, Fang's children all came over, but they didn't dare to get too close. They looked at You Min and Li Xun's gaze and felt a little submissive.
Li Xun pulled You Min and went up to say hello one by one, and his cousin shouted.
Fang looked at Li Xun with a smile and nodded repeatedly.
"Min'er, I'm ready for everything. Let's burn some paper money for your mother."
After they said hello, Fang said to You Min.
You Min and Li Xun squatted down and began to burn paper.
You Mingyuan walked over, looked at the grave in front of him, and said silently.
Fang looked at You Mingyuan and said coldly: "I haven't seen Lord You for many years, and I thought you had forgotten this place."
Faced with Fang's sarcasm and sarcasm, You Mingyuan looked calm and said silently: "A person cannot be resurrected when he dies. People who are alive must always look forward."
"Like a person like you, who is a noble family, has high official positions and a generous salary when you are proud, and has a back-to-back. When you are frustrated, you can have three wives and four concubines. A rich life is just a pity for my sister. She likes a lively person so much. She has been living alone and helplessly in that small house for ten years, but she never waits for that so-called happiness until she dies."
Fang said with hatred.
You Mingyuan lowered his head slightly and remained silent.
After hearing Fang's words, You Min's body trembled slightly, turned her head, and said in a pleading voice: "Auntie, please stop talking, okay?"
Fang looked at You Min, sighed, said nothing, squatted down and started burning paper money for his sister.
You Mingyuan stood there, neither burning paper nor speaking, but his eyes were a little dazed. Obviously, his people were here, and his mind had long been running away. Perhaps he was recalling the past at this moment.
After a while, the paper money was burned out. Fang whispered a few words to You Min, and then led the whole family away.
Li Xun helped You Min up, looked back at You Mingyuan, and couldn't help but shake his head.
In Fang's eyes, some of You Mingyuan's past actions can be said to be abandoned at the beginning and end, ruthless and unrighteous, and should be scolded and hated, but Li Xun quite understands this. This does not mean that You Mingyuan is not wrong, but you cannot put all the responsibilities on him.
There is a saying that you will definitely lose some when you get it.
You Mingyuan was born into a family. He had the vast majority of people at birth and was unable to achieve wealth and glory and prosperity even if he worked hard for his whole life. But at the same time, some things were deeply fixed, such as marriage events, such as love, what the family wanted, and what the family wanted, and what he didn't want, could not retain it no matter how hard he tried. Even if he was the current You Mingyuan, he represented the thoughts of all the people of the entire family, not his own. If he followed the thoughts of most people, then You Mingyuan could exercise all the rights of the patriarch, absolutely and supreme. On the contrary, it was difficult to move forward. The patriarchs of all families were like this, and the emperor was the same, because this was the rule.
Although You Min's mother was born in a humble family, her family was innocent. Even if she could not be You Mingyuan's wife, there was no problem with being a concubine. It was just because of a misunderstanding and rumors that not only hurt You Min's mother's reputation, but also ruined her lifelong happiness. You Mingyuan understood and understood some things, but the family did not understand and did not understand them. It was not him, You Mingyuan, but the family.
You Min was about to speak, but Li Xun pulled her and then said, "Father-in-law, aunt invited us to her for dinner."
Li Xun's words interrupted You Mingyuan's memories.
Li Xun smiled and said, "This is Min'er's hometown, I want to go and have a look."
You Mingyuan nodded: "Go and have a few more days to play. The scenery here is beautiful. Take Min'er around."
Li Xun smiled and nodded in agreement, then took You Min away.
You Min said in confusion: "Why leave my father alone?"
Li Xun laughed and said, "My father-in-law may have a lot to say to her mother-in-law. Why are we doing here? Maybe as soon as we leave like this, my father-in-law will immediately cry."
"Go to yours, don't make jokes about my father."
You Min reached out to hit Li Xun, but also felt that what he said made sense.
After Li Xun left, only You Mingyuan and an old servant who was older than him were left here. After You Min's mother died, it was the old servant who helped him to do all the funerals.
You Mingyuan came to the grave, sat directly on the ground, and took out a letter from his arms with the tribute written on it.
