Chapter 3 The Difficult Old Lady

The weather in spring is always a bit unpredictable. The sun is still bright in the morning, but at noon there may be spring thunder and heavy rain. Just like right now, there are still water drops on the leaves from the heavy rain, and there are streaks of sun.

However, the light has already followed the gaps between the leaves and cast mottled shadows on the ground, revealing a bit of bright spring.

After going out for the first time, Zhang Yue couldn't resist his mother Sun, so he could only let her hold his hand. After leaving the small courtyard where he lived, he passed through a corner door in the southwest, and next to it was a skirt where people lived.

Room. Go straight ahead along the corridor, turn two corners, and you will see a small west corner door at the end of the west flower wall. After entering the door, you pass through the corridor and a moon door, and bypass a marble screen wall.

, this is the main house with five rooms where Mrs. Gu lives.

At the door of the main room, a maid, about fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing dark green armor, was scolding the two little girls below her in a low voice with a straight face. When she raised her eyes and saw someone coming, she stopped talking. She ordered someone to go in and report.

, but he came up to him in three steps and saluted, stood up, and then smiled and said: "I heard that the third young master has recovered from his illness. The old lady was also worried about it. She was nagging just now, but Mrs. Sa San...

I really brought the third young master here."

Mrs. Sun smiled lightly and replied: "Since the old lady is thinking about her, I naturally have to bring Yue'er to pay her respects."

"What the third wife said is that the old lady will be very happy to see the third young master."

Zhang Yue saw that the maid responded appropriately and went to the door to pick up the curtain. So he couldn't help but take a second look and vaguely remembered that it was the maid Lingxi who was the most useful in front of his grandmother. After entering the door, he saw the Grand Master's chair in the middle.

Grandma Gu was sitting in Shangan, and there were a few girls standing on the ground next to her, but no one else was seen. After his mother saluted, although he felt a little conflicted, he still went forward and kowtowed respectfully and called his grandmother.

With an indifferent smile on her face, Mrs. Gu said: "Looking at you, you are indeed recovered from your illness. Come over here and let me take a good look!"

Zhang Yue quickly stood up and stepped forward. Seeing that Mrs. Gu kept looking at his face and body, he tried his best to look back at his grandmother with a calm look.

His parents are not stable in this family, so he, the grandson, has to be careful at all times. Being reborn in a big family at least means that he will not freeze to death of starvation, but it does not necessarily mean that he will not die violently. Pretending to be a good grandson is the first step.

One step forward. Although this white-haired grandmother doesn't seem to be that easy to fool, isn't there a saying that with deep effort, an iron pestle can be ground into a needle?

However, Mrs. Gu looked up and down for a long time, and suddenly asked with a straight face: "You have always been weak. It's windy outside today, why did you go out with only so many clothes? What if you catch a cold?

, isn’t it another illness?”

Although she looked at Zhang Yue, everyone in the room knew that the words were directed at Sun. However, Zhang Yue caught a glimpse of his mother pouting her lips and was about to speak, and quickly got ahead of her: "Grandma, it's me.

I must come. I heard from Qiu Hen that my grandmother went to see a famous doctor for my injury, so I naturally had to come to pay my respects first after my injury was healed, so as to reassure my grandmother. Although it was cold and windy outside, I always

Don’t forget your filial piety when it’s cold and windy.”

Mrs. Gu just listened indifferently at first, but when she heard the last sentence, she couldn't help but nodded slightly, and her face cleared up with a slight smile: "Sure enough, you are sensible, you actually understand filial piety. In this case, what happened before?

Do you know you are wrong?"

Seeing Mrs. Gu looking at him with a half-smile but not a smile, Zhang Yue rolled his eyes and said honestly: "Reporting to grandma, I shouldn't forget the instructions of my elders and go naughty. I know I was wrong. I heard my mother say, brother

The second brother was even punished for me and asked my grandmother to tell the second aunt that this was all my fault and had nothing to do with them."

"You can correct your mistakes if you know them. You have suffered a loss this time, but you have finally made some progress!" At this time, Gu's remaining dissatisfaction gradually disappeared. She happened to catch a glimpse of a string of Buddhist beads in her hand, and after a moment's thought, she picked them up.

He stuffed it into Zhang Yue's hand and said, "You can remember the two of them as soon as you recover from the injury, and you can remember me as your grandmother, but it shows that you are thoughtful. This string of Buddhist beads was consecrated by the eminent monk of Daxiangguo Temple. I have already

I have worn it for decades. You have always been in poor health and have had many disasters. Even if you wear it, the Buddha can bless you."

"Thank you grandma!"

Zhang Yue immediately put the Buddhist beads on his wrist, then stepped back and knelt down to kowtow. As soon as his head hit the ground, Mrs. Gu pulled him up. Then Mr. Gu asked a few more questions about his illness.

, so he made up a lot of words, from the mother's hard work to the servants' dedication, in short, everyone is good, so Sun and several girls all showed smiles.

After chatting for a long time, the smile on Mrs. Gu's face became thicker and thicker, and she finally pulled Zhang Yue closer. Of course she understood that Sun's daughter-in-law had never known how to please and behave.

It is possible to teach a word, but it is absolutely impossible to teach so many things. Then it can only be the words of the little grandson himself. Thinking of the fact that he has always been sick and sick in the past, even if we meet him, he is just submissive, dull and stupid, but now he suddenly knows how to like people.

This undoubtedly shows that the fall enlightened people.

Recalling that Zhang Yue fell from a high tree and had only a few bruises on his body, but was unconscious for a long time, she, who had always believed in Buddhism, couldn't help but have a vague idea.

Could it be that surviving a catastrophe will lead to good fortune?

Mrs. Gu was just thinking about whether to invite the famous Master Yunguang back from Daxiangguo Temple. At this time, there was a burst of laughter from outside: "Oh, I heard that Brother Yue came to see the old lady. I

But it’s too late!”

I saw the door curtain being raised high, and then a woman stepped across the threshold and came in. She had a gold twisted silk lantern hairpin slanted on her hair, a pearl hoop in front of her forehead, and she was wearing a honey jacket.

Wearing a round-necked shirt with large sleeves and a gold lotus skirt underneath, she actually looks several years younger than Mr. Sun.

As soon as she came in, she saluted Mrs. Gu, then nodded slightly to Mrs. Sun, and her eyes immediately fell on Zhang Yue. Seeing that he was actually held in Mrs. Gu's arms, her face was slightly shocked, and then she returned to normal.

.

"Brother Yue's complexion is really much better after he recovered from his injury. Thanks to the old lady who has always fasted, chanted Buddha's name, and accumulated virtues and done good deeds all her life, he was able to recover so quickly!"

"That's why Brother Yue is so lucky!" Gu was already happy. When Dongfang said this, her face became even more full of smiles. At that moment, she gently patted Zhang Yue on the shoulder and pointed.

Dongfang said, "Go and see your second aunt quickly."

With just a few words from Dongfangshi after she came in, Zhang Yue understood that she was a shrewd, kind and charming person like Sister Feng, and he didn't dare to underestimate her. He quickly stepped forward to salute and called her "Second Aunt" again.

Dongfang held Zhang Yue's hand and looked at it carefully for a moment, then pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Now that Brother Yue has grown up, and Chao'er and Qi'er have a companion, they can study and learn martial arts together tomorrow. Let me tell you,

Brother Yue's body is too thin, so he should work hard to strengthen his muscles and bones. In the future, the old lady and the three younger siblings won't have to be so worried all the time."

This could be said to be what Zhang Yue wanted, but unexpectedly, Mrs. Sun, who had been silent next to her, stepped forward to object without even thinking.

"Old lady, Yue'er's body has only just recovered, how can it withstand the exertion? If it were the first time, that's it. But this time, I was frightened and my body is weak. How can I withstand the torment of studying, let alone practicing martial arts?

Got it!"

Realizing that his mother didn't notice Gu's face changing from sunny to cloudy, let alone Dongfang's smug expression, she actually started to settle the old scores again, Zhang Yue suddenly got wise and took a few steps back to Xiuxing's face.

He bent one leg and knelt down on one knee.

"Grandma, although my mother's concerns are reasonable, the second aunt also has plans for me. I think that if I take care of myself for another half month, the injury will be completely healed. I don't want to stay in the house all the time. I want to go to school.

, I also want to practice martial arts well, so I asked my grandmother to help me."

Mrs. Gu was already a little annoyed at first, but after hearing Zhang Yue's words, she hesitated again. After pondering for a moment, she made up her mind: "Just do what Brother Yue said, go to school in half a month, and if

When my body is well enough, I will practice martial arts with Brother Chao and Brother Qi, and that’s it. Our Zhang family is a martial arts family, and as long as we have a breath, we can’t be sick at home!"

After hearing this, everyone in the room responded repeatedly, but everyone had their own thoughts in their hearts. Regardless of what others thought, Zhang Yue was very happy. In any case, his first step in opening the door was smooth.

Everything depends on the future.
