  公鸡报晓三遍<></span>园中鸟雀开了嗓<></span>未曾闹够时<></span>天蒙蒙的便透了一丝丝的明儿<></span>顾公爷昨晚梅开二度<></span>本该睡得香<></span>不料发了一个噩梦<></span>一脑门冷汗的自床上翻起<></span>起后浑身如江上波纹一般的<></span>一层层的起着鸡皮疙瘩<></span>
  他自披了娇红的小袄在那里发癔症<></span>姨娘娇红迷迷痴痴的翻身<></span>伸着嫩白的莲藕胳膊去搂老爷的腰<></span>嘴巴里有些不情愿娇嗔着嘟囔：<></span>爷今儿不是休沐吗<></span>起的这般早<></span><></span>说毕<></span>娇红坐起<></span>捞自己衣裳却见老爷披着<></span>便撩开帘子往外看了眼<></span>昨夜闹腾的厉害<></span>便把人都打发出去了<></span>值夜丫头就没睡在榻上<></span>
  她翻翻白眼儿<></span>刚要张嘴骂<></span>顾公爷却自己从床上翻起<></span>没等人伺候<></span>顺脚儿提拉着鞋<></span>冲着正院儿报春堂就去了<></span>
  初冬的早风最是刺骨<></span>尤其是从热被窝子滚出来<></span>那便是穿什么衣裳都遮不住的往骨头里钻<></span>可顾公爷却不在意这个<></span>他一路急行<></span>后面跟着的几个亲随跌跌撞撞跟着<></span>有没睡醒的还撞了柱子<></span>
  这一路<></span>顾公爷越想越慎得慌<></span>虽然爹死了那么多年了<></span>他还是怕他<></span>自己五十多了跟亲爹说话<></span>那边语气要重了点<></span>他大腿肚子依旧还会转筋<></span>很多事儿连带着对鬼神的敬畏呼啦啦的往他脑袋里走<></span>走马皮灯一般一圈一圈的<></span>他就说嘛<></span>这些年总觉得什么重要的事儿被忘记了<></span>
  坐定在那里缕缕<></span>又没什么事儿<></span>
  昨夜<></span>顾公爷发了一个噩梦<></span>梦见自己老爹指着他的鼻子问：<></span>坏狗（顾公爷奶名）<></span>你小兄弟呢<></span>你帮我带好了吗<></span><></span>反反复复的<></span>整一夜<></span>拢共就这一句<></span>临麻雀叫的时候<></span>老爷子在梦里打了他一拐<></span>骂道：<></span>你这不孝的狗东西……<></span>拐没落到脑袋顶<></span>顾公爷就醒了<></span>
  醒了一身的冷汗<></span>如今被风一吹浑身刺骨的凉<></span>
  顾公爷出身门阀平洲顾氏<></span>那是几朝的望族<></span>他们这一脉原本算分叉之一<></span>四十年前<></span>他爹顾老公爷随先帝爷起兵<></span>一路跟随到新君建国<></span>虽主枝儿那一边是书香传家<></span>可这边偏偏就走了歪路<></span>走武科<></span>难免的<></span>主枝儿那边对他们是看不上的<></span>
  看不上便看不上<></span>一场反了前朝的大战<></span>有全族赴死就前朝的<></span>也有街边的无赖混混成了位列九卿的新贵人<></span>新贵人开了新贵门<></span>这是规律<></span>
  如今<></span>新国<></span>老皇上死了新皇上来<></span>老顾家位列三班<></span>一门新贵<></span>将星闪耀<></span>旧族那边不照样不敢言语吗<></span>想当初<></span>老枝儿家系名谱都是前朝御赐的荣耀<></span>爷爷是庶出的旁支儿又如何<></span>如今两边祭祀<></span>供奉<></span>每十年的祭族大会顾岩跟他的兄弟们站第一排<></span>唱祭的是他顾岩的长子顾茂德<></span>这里没主枝儿什么事儿<></span>
  四十年了<></span>发生很多事儿<></span>顾公爷他爹<></span>顾老公爷一辈子<></span>有半辈子是在战场上呆着的<></span>七十几了还带兵出征呢<></span>老顾家带的这队人马<></span>被民间称为<></span>顾家军<></span><></span>老太爷活了一个大岁数<></span>去世那年正正的米寿八十八岁<></span>那会子说起来<></span>谁不羡慕<></span>五世同堂的武勋之家<></span>
  老太爷是去了之后<></span>长子顾岩袭了爵<></span>除了爵位<></span>顾公爷在中书省任正三品的参议<></span>后在孝期<></span>却遇上密王作乱<></span>奉旨去兵部接了左侍郎带着顾家军<></span>兄弟六个齐齐的就去了前线<></span>
  这一去<></span>整八年<></span>灭了密王<></span>平了西北六地<></span>兄弟们东南西北散去<></span>回来的时候顾岩整六十六岁<></span>卸了武职<></span>依旧回了中书省<></span>任右丞<></span>正二品的实权大员<></span>实封食邑两千<></span>因他有了大军功<></span>家里依旧叫开国郡公府<></span>自下一代开始方始世袭<></span>逐渐递减<></span>
  旁话不说<></span>单有一件大事儿<></span>顾公爷被惊醒就是因这原由<></span>这事儿说起来是件奇事<></span>就是<></span>早先老太爷活着的时候<></span>七十九岁那年先帝赐了个出身书香门第的美人给做了小夫人<></span>算填房<></span>老太爷雄风不倒<></span>他跟填房老蚌生珠<></span>又得了一个幺儿<></span>
  这幺儿名叫顾昭<></span>老太爷老年得子<></span>对这孩子自然爱如珍宝<></span>就给起了个奶名叫<></span>盆子<></span><></span>养在身边<></span>旁人轻易都不得见<></span>五岁前这小兄弟顾岩就没见过他的小脚丫子踩过地面<></span>可见当初老爷子对他多稀罕<></span>
  盆子长到两岁<></span>老太爷的填房也死了<></span>如此他便亲力亲为<></span>自己照顾幺儿<></span>
  八十有儿<></span>无论怎么说<></span>这都算是奇事<></span>那孩子一生下来<></span>老爷子爱的不成<></span>又去上面给求了从五品的乡男出身<></span>所以老七顾昭还在吃奶的时候就有了年十七石的禄米<></span>一百六十五贯的俸禄<></span>说起来<></span>顾岩兄弟七个<></span>顾岩只有一个姐姐算是同母嫡出<></span>这老姐姐早年也去了<></span>难产死的<></span>连个后都没留下<></span>
  至于其他的五个兄弟都是庶出<></span>老太爷一辈子在先帝面前都是个心眼实在的粗人<></span>也就求过这一件事<></span>就是给小娇儿要个出身<></span>
  要说老公爷那人<></span>对孩子们还是不错的<></span>他是从兵起家<></span>所以给儿孙安排的职位皆是在武职<></span>天南地北的<></span>一个旮旯丢一个的都放了出去<></span>谁也碍不着谁<></span>家里就这点子家业<></span>你哥哥拿大的<></span>你们拿小的<></span>出身你们有了<></span>就都老实儿的呆着去吧<></span>
  人离得远了<></span>亲便是亲了<></span>这些年<></span>礼节上兄弟几个诚意十足的常来常往<></span>当大哥的对兄弟都帮衬<></span>如今兄弟六个<></span>最不济的是故去的老四顾咸家<></span>他家长子也在外省也任着正五品的实缺<></span>
  早先<></span>先帝爷起兵之后<></span>兵荒马乱很多年<></span>这嫡庶之分<></span>宗家礼教<></span>俱都靠了后<></span>这些年<></span>刚开始平稳<></span>一些老规矩也就慢慢的又讲究了<></span>父父子子<></span>君君臣臣<></span>嫡嫡庶庶的<></span>又都拿上来当大事儿说了<></span>一不小心<></span>把嫡出的小弟弟丢在平洲老宅子八年不闻不问<></span>顾公爷越想越不是滋味儿<></span>
  一个小东西<></span>对于顾岩来说<></span>他能碍着自己什么事儿呢<></span>真碍不着<></span>给口饭吃而已<></span>关照一下就结了<></span>早先顾岩对小兄弟还算好<></span>也或多或少的带了一些父辈的疼爱<></span>还亲手喂他吃过饭<></span>把过尿<></span>他整整比自己小弟弟大了五十岁<></span>有时候老公爷偏爱了<></span>他也不会计较<></span>跟个奶娃子计较<></span>多没意思<></span>
  这个小弟弟是什么时候消失在自己视线里的呢<></span>老爷子一边走一边想……
  那年<></span>老太爷病危<></span>顾岩打上京回到平洲郡城的大宅<></span>急的在堂屋满地乱转<></span>屋外顾昭被他奶爹毕成抱着进来要找爹<></span>当时顾岩有些气闷<></span>就没好气的叫他奶爹带他快点出去<></span>
  那便是顾岩最后一次正眼见自己小弟弟<></span>他被奶爹抱着<></span>愣愣的趴在肩膀上<></span>小瓜子脸瘦的都凹下去了<></span>就剩一对大眼珠子那么凸着<></span>直直的看着自己<></span>然后<></span>平平静静的拐个弯就不见了<></span>
  后来<></span>老太爷还是去了<></span>临死抓着小七的手不放<></span>顾岩正难受<></span>也没仔细看他<></span>虽老爷子千叮嘱万嘱咐<></span>小七碍不着他们什么<></span>叫他们一定看护好<></span>看着他成家立业<></span>兄弟六个跪着也是赌咒发誓的答应了<></span>
  答应是答应了<></span>那什么爹都去了<></span>天塌了<></span>大家难过呢<></span>后来那不忙吗<></span>再加上小七好像也没派人来过<></span>也没什么他的消息<></span>就这么稀里糊涂的就给断了<></span>
  一眨眼儿<></span>八年了<></span>打老太爷去了<></span>小七被带回平洲祖乡下的宅子<></span>老爷子在那里给他留了一处宅子<></span>几千贯的分家银<></span>两处庄子<></span>二十五顷土地<></span>三座山地<></span>还有他奶爹一家子连伺候惯他的也没几个人<></span>比起顾岩他们得的<></span>几乎就是芝麻粒儿<></span>
  老爷子睿智<></span>知道给多了<></span>小家伙也保不住<></span>所以<></span>兄弟七个<></span>小七得的东西最少<></span>大多都是田产<></span>收地租靠地里的出息过活的小钱儿<></span>
  给那么少<></span>不就是求他这几个长兄<></span>看在小弟弟可怜的份上<></span>帮衬一下吗<></span>可惜呀<></span>密王作乱<></span>一乱八年<></span>再然后先帝去了<></span>新帝登基<></span>老顾家还算是皇帝袖子里的亲兵<></span>这一家大小的都在这八年奔了前程<></span>倒是把那个刚断奶的娃子忘了个干干净净<></span>
  老爷子越想越觉得对不住<></span>脚步越发的快了起来<></span>
  老太太卢氏早早的就起了<></span>这些年担惊受怕的<></span>她觉一贯少<></span>起来后<></span>她坐在报春堂的堂屋窗下看几个小丫头逗她的那几只爱鸟<></span>这几只鸟养的精<></span>每天要吃半个鲜果泥儿<></span>两个鸡蛋黄<></span>如今可是初冬<></span>蛋黄好找<></span>这鲜果子却难寻了<></span>
  卢氏<></span>出身世家都梁卢氏<></span>性格贤淑平和<></span>是个顶不错的贤良妇人<></span>如今她的日子是苦尽甘来<></span>老爷也回来了<></span>孙子都抱了好几个了<></span>她每天也就是养养鸟儿<></span>逗逗孙男孙女<></span>为最小的老儿子操心<></span>顾公爷那头<></span>她不怎么管<></span>也就是老两口初一十五睡一起<></span>一个月也就两天<></span>打成婚那天起<></span>丈夫南征北战的东南西北到处跑的<></span>他们早就习惯各住各的<></span>各管各的<></span>平时<></span>老公爷不怎么打搅卢氏<></span>他一般都歇在娇红那边或芸娘那边<></span>
  老太太卢氏正拿着小勺子在果子上抿果泥儿<></span>顾公爷背着手<></span>披着外袍从院外急步走了进来<></span>一脸的黑气<></span>老太太吓了一跳<></span>手里的果子咕噜噜的滚到了地上忙问到：<></span>可是出了什么事儿<></span><></span>
  顾公爷忙撑了一些笑样子出来<></span>摆手：<></span>没事儿……莫怕<></span><></span>他一呼噜胳膊又对着下面侍奉的一众丫头<></span>小厮又没好气的说到：<></span>都出去<></span><></span>
  卢氏点点头<></span>扶着大丫头红枣的手坐回屋里<></span>又吃了半粒养心丸<></span>摆摆手<></span>叫红枣也出去后<></span>这才将乱蹦的心才收回来<></span>
  卢氏拿着帕子抿了下嘴角<></span>慢条斯理的问顾公爷：<></span>老爷大清早的到我这里<></span>可是……是娇红有事<></span><></span>
  <></span>你莫乱想<></span>她能有什么事<></span>我是说……老七那边<></span>这些年没什么事儿吧<></span><></span>顾公爷挺心虚的打听<></span>心里有些羞臊<></span>他自己忘了<></span>也没嘱咐卢氏去关照<></span>
  <></span>老七<></span>什么老七……呀<></span><></span>卢氏先是迷茫<></span>接着一惊<></span>拿着帕子捂着嘴巴<></span>她也想起来了<></span>她也忘了<></span>这不怪她<></span>八年了<></span>守孝<></span>担心<></span>守国孝<></span>又管家<></span>还要提心吊胆<></span>小七爷那边的事儿她就没往心上放<></span>
  顾公爷的脸阴的吓人<></span>他这人发脾气一般是不骂人<></span>可卢氏就是怕呀<></span>成婚开始她就畏惧自己这位杀人如麻的夫婿<></span>再说了<></span>就是丈夫从没托她管过老七的事儿<></span>她也该着问问的<></span>坐堂媳妇<></span>家里家外不安排全面<></span>这是真的失职了<></span>老爷子托孤那会子<></span>她也在身边的<></span>
  <></span>要不<></span>叫茂德媳妇过来问问<></span>当初她掌家的时候<></span>好像是交代过的……嗯<></span>说过的<></span><></span>卢氏想找个帮手挡挡<></span>好歹媳妇们来来<></span>老爷的气儿也能顺点<></span>最好把孙孙门都抱来<></span>
  老爷子没说话<></span>也没逮住谁怨谁<></span>这事儿怨他自己<></span>哎<></span>都气的老父亲打地下钻出来托梦了<></span>八岁的孩子<></span>八年不闻不问<></span>这有六个哥哥呢<></span>那边都不知道过成什么摸样了<></span>兵荒马乱的<></span>顾岩越想越后怕<></span>
  坐了半响<></span>卢氏先开了口：<></span>老爷别想多了<></span>老七的奶爹毕成<></span>当初是跟着老爷子的旧人<></span>那是个稳妥人<></span>最最忠心不过<></span>要是小七爷有事<></span>那边早就来报信了<></span>这些年<></span>就一直没人来<></span>想必……也是安稳的<></span>如今小七爷<></span>十六了吧<></span><></span>
  顾公爷沉默半晌<></span>点点头<></span>背着手出去了<></span>这事赖不着妻子<></span>这都怪他<></span>做武职的就这点好<></span>该怎么就怎么<></span>该自己承担的<></span>那就是自己的错儿<></span>
  打堂屋出来<></span>顾公爷立刻安排了亲随陶若<></span>带了七八车礼物<></span>挑了一车好东西<></span>派了家将<></span>卢氏还安排了两个手脚利落的小丫头花蕊<></span>花丽一起跟车去了<></span>还吩咐务必要好好哄着七爷<></span>把小七老爷给妥妥接来<></span>
  车队走时已经是晌午<></span>卢氏坐在屋子里想事情<></span>正想着<></span>大儿媳妇苏氏带着小孙女顾铭慧进了屋<></span>手里还提着半篮子果子<></span>
  苏氏进屋未语先笑：<></span>母亲这是怎么了<></span>闷闷不乐的<></span>这不<></span>我娘家庄子上寻了好多面果子<></span>我想着母亲这边该是要断顿了的<></span><></span>其实她是听下面丫鬟说<></span>老爷子仿佛跟老太太拌嘴了<></span>就寻了理由过来<></span>家里的老太爷<></span>老太太是个慈祥的<></span>也不像别人家那般讲究多<></span>成天价招呼一大帮的后辈儿孙齐齐的站在院子里请安<></span>这边就初一十五来院子里请安<></span>人多了卢氏觉得闹<></span>然后一起用个早饭罢了<></span>
  <></span>并没有什么<></span>他年纪大了<></span>犯了孩子气<></span><></span>卢氏依旧一脸平静<></span>不该说的<></span>她不会跟媳妇儿露<></span>老太爷托梦骂顾老爷不孝<></span>这话能说吗<></span>
  所以卢氏没打算告诉苏氏<></span>只是安排她打扫好宿云院<></span>拣上等的名贵摆设送几套过去<></span>家具要新作<></span>硬木一概选上等的红木<></span>花梨木<></span>软木家具全部用楠木<></span>式样要选上京最时兴的样子办<></span>铺盖要置办八铺八盖<></span>一概零碎皆由老爷子的大帐里出<></span>都要最好的<></span>另挑几户老实可靠<></span>眼里有活的家生子在那边等着侍奉<></span>将自己身边跟了三十多年的管事范秋华家的潘婆子派过去暂时管着<></span>
  卢氏这个意思<></span>也就是说<></span>那边是老太爷老太太要直接管着的<></span>你们下面的媳妇就别伸手了<></span>
  苏氏捂着嘴巴打趣：<></span>母亲这是准备给四弟找到媳妇儿了<></span>是谁家的<></span>有无测定测定<></span>前几天<></span>我回娘家<></span>我娘家舅舅说<></span>今上还要给功勋人家放一批低等爵位<></span>小四儿生就的福分大<></span>兴许这次能轮上也未可知<></span>母亲瞧瞧<></span>要不然<></span>咱还是等等<></span><></span>
  苏氏说的四弟<></span>是卢氏的幺儿<></span>名叫顾茂昌<></span>今年十七<></span>卢氏五十有的他<></span>也算是老生子<></span>平日子对他最最疼爱不过<></span>甚至有些惯坏了的样子<></span>
  顾茂昌在卢氏看来是赶上个好时候了<></span>这天下太平<></span>无灾无难的<></span>所以<></span>他即没在兵部谋出身<></span>也没在族学里多认几个字儿<></span>只是跟着一帮子上京的名门之后<></span>整日子会客<></span>访友<></span>斗鸡<></span>蹴鞠<></span>打马球度日<></span>说起来<></span>小四儿这一代也就这样<></span>他家军功出身<></span>如今新帝登基<></span>除了老几户武勋人家<></span>新帝需要的人才慢慢的从兵部挪到了吏部<></span>今上缺的是能人干吏<></span>文采上等<></span>能将国家平稳下来的人<></span>
  因此上<></span>京里的名门子弟<></span>要么读书搏个新前程<></span>要么就学习如何做个合格的纨绔<></span>
  卢氏亲昵的摸着曾孙女的头发<></span>顺手拿喂鸟的小勺子刮了点儿果泥塞孙女儿嘴巴里<></span>在她看来<></span>孙女跟爱鸟<></span>地位都差不多<></span>孙女儿还不如鸟陪她时间久呢<></span>
  <></span>怎么可能<></span>老四要是成婚<></span>就安排他去南院了<></span>咱家地方大<></span>先帝爷封的好地方<></span>你们就是再生几窝也住得<></span>宿云是北边最好的院子<></span>这是……给你七叔准备的<></span><></span>卢氏说完这话<></span>脸上泛起一些红晕<></span>自己都六十五了<></span>还有个十六岁的小叔子<></span>最小的儿子都大他一岁<></span>这事儿说起来<></span>颇有些羞涩<></span>
  <></span>小七叔<></span><></span>苏氏重复了一句<></span>便想起来了<></span>也捂嘴笑：<></span>哎<></span>那可是久不见了<></span>小七叔可好<></span>眨巴眼儿的<></span>小七叔也到年纪了<></span>还是父亲母亲心眼儿好<></span>这一太平<></span>就巴巴的接他来家住<></span>什么都是现成的<></span>要早几年还不知道怎么样呢<></span><></span>
  苏氏笑眯眯的说完<></span>把孙女儿抱回去<></span>拿着手帕做着擦嘴的样子<></span>不露痕迹的将孙女儿嘴巴里的果泥抠了出来<></span>
  这话卢氏爱听<></span>可不是<></span>早几年兵荒马乱<></span>要什么没什么<></span>整日子提心吊胆的<></span>晚上请老爷过来<></span>也要这么说<></span>
  <></span>说的就是<></span>老太爷就留下这么一个宝贝蛋儿<></span>总不能闪失了<></span>如今他有福了<></span>什么都是现成的<></span>你多看看<></span>要有那个家世干净的<></span>就给小七爷留着<></span>小七爷那也是有乡男爵位的<></span>总不能亏了他<></span><></span>
  <></span>瞧母亲说的<></span>咱家什么门第出身<></span>要找也要找上等的人家才配得起咱小七爷<></span>这事儿就包媳妇身上了<></span><></span>苏氏应付着<></span>心里或多或少的却有些不屑<></span>乡男是最低等的爵位<></span>还是个虚爵<></span>小七爷除了辈分大<></span>其他的优点是一概全无<></span>还在平洲乡下地方长大的<></span>说起来<></span>平洲那地方挨着蛮地<></span>多出野人<></span>谁知道是什么歪瓜裂枣的样子呢<></span>
  接小七爷的人十一月中旬去的<></span>陶若转年四月低回来的<></span>小七爷没接到<></span>说是<></span>不在家<></span>小七爷常年在外<></span>两三年才回一次平洲<></span>
  陶若跟老家族人探听了<></span>说是小七爷爱在南地走动<></span>已经多年没回祖宅了<></span>打听完<></span>一路车马不停的陶若又去了南地<></span>在边界县城<></span>寻访多日才找到小七爷的一处住地<></span>可惜<></span>小七爷依旧不在<></span>说是带着毕成家的老大他奶哥哥毕梁立出去游玩了<></span>要来年末才归家<></span>陶若还想打听<></span>可惜老毕成老的都傻了<></span>一会东<></span>一会西的<></span>什么也打听不到<></span>毕成家的婆娘早两年也死了<></span>陶若认识的人一个没找到<></span>
  人没接过来<></span>老太爷整整失落了好几个月<></span>跟儿孙们不能说<></span>跟兄弟们更是不能提<></span>说出去<></span>怕笑话<></span>只能是自己蹲在家里生闷气<></span>每个月初都派出一批人去南边等着接人<></span>这一等便是一年整<></span></p></div>
