A month later, the news of Zheng You's defeat reached the capital.The Zheng family and the Su family couldn't sit still, and the eldest lady of the Zheng family even hurriedly came to the Su family to discuss with Su Mu at the first time, Su Mu decided to go to Hubei to find Zheng You.After the eldest lady of the Zheng family left uneasily, Su Mu personally came to the inner courtyard to tell Zheng Qingchuan about it.Thinking that Zheng You led his troops to Shandong to defeat the rebels and take the people of the Su family down the mountain, Zheng Qingchuan couldn't say a word.After being stunned for a while, Zheng Qingchuan nodded with a complicated expression.Su Mu put his hands on her shoulders and advised: "I will immediately set off Qingshan and Fuyun to go together, and Xiao Xiao will stay at home to take care of the affairs of the outer courtyard."
You and Ah Yun are going to stay with your aunt temporarily, okay?"
"I want to stay at home. ”Zheng Qingchuan replied sullenly.The Zheng family has a Rongyang Hall, and there is a Zheng family girl in the Rongyang Hall, and Zheng Qingchuan doesn't want to go back.It's more reassuring to be in your own home, and you don't have to be suspicious and wary of others.Su Mu said again: "Then I'll ask Mama Hu to help with housekeeping, okay" Although Zheng Qingchuan and Mama Hu didn't like each other before, Mama Hu was indeed a very shrewd and capable housekeeper, and she was bold and loyal.If Su Mu personally asked her to take care of Zheng Qingchuan, she would definitely be meticulous and dedicated Zheng Qingchuan did not refuse, did not speak, and his face was tense, as if he was enduring something that was about to explode.Su Mu couldn't help but give her a hug, kiss her forehead, and then called Ah Yun in, and also said a few words.Su Mu turned around and was about to go out, but seeing that Zheng Qingchuan was unhappy, all the light in his eyes suddenly converged, and his eyes were gloomy and bottomless.However, Zheng Qingchuan did not hesitate to take the child out and see him off.He spoke to Zheng Qingchuan, but Zheng Qingchuan didn't reply, and Ah Yun was also worried on the side and sent it outside the gate.Qingshan and Fuyun were waiting outside with their horses, not using a carriage, probably to pursue the speed of the road.Qingshan and Fuyun only carried burdens, and they didn't carry much with them.Su Mu kissed the child's face before leaving, but the placket was immediately grabbed by the child's little hand.When he broke the child's hand and turned to ride on the horse, the child suddenly cried, looking very sad, and grabbed his little hand in the direction of Su Mu.Such a young child was originally not sensible, probably because he felt that Su Mu snubbed him, didn't play with him, and didn't hold him to ride a horse, so he cried that the baby cried if he wanted to cry, but this cry made Su Mu's heart cry, Su Mu immediately got off the horse again, and came back to reach out to hug the doll.The child was tired of crying, shook Su Mu's hand a few times, and fell asleep.Su Mu handed the child back into Zheng Qingchuan's hands, his eyes were reluctant, but he was helpless, he calmly held Zheng Qingchuan's hand, and advised: "Ah Yun help Ah Qi more at home, obedient" Seeing Ah Yun nodding, he let go of Zheng Qingchuan's hand, turned around and got on the horse, and galloped away.The sound of horses' hooves was getting farther and farther away, but suddenly it was getting closer and closer.Zheng Qingchuan was looking ahead, very surprised, only to see Su Mu riding back again, her eyes became bright, overjoyed, and asked loudly and happily: "Don't you want to go" Su Mu got off the horse, walked over, smiled, but did not agree, reached out to untie the bib from the little doll's body, turned around and got on the horse quickly.Zheng Qingchuan's mood was up and down, seeing that Su Mu had already turned the horse's head and was about to go away, she hurriedly couldn't help but shout loudly: "Su Mu, don't forget the last plan of the thirty-six plans" Su Mu stretched out his hand and lifted the little doll's saliva bib, the bib swaggered in the wind, and then the horse's hooves were raised, and it was already far away in a moment.Zheng Qingchuan lowered his head and said to the little doll: "Don't deceive, your face is bigger" The tone was lost, and it was a little inexplicably sour.Su Mu knew that he would definitely miss his young son very much, so in order to calm himself, he could only come back and take the little doll's bib and take it with him, just like borrowing wine to dispel his sorrows, which could also relieve his thoughts a little.It's not two or three days to come back, it's going to take at least a month.Ah Yun asked sullenly: "Qiqi, when will my brother come back" Zheng Qingchuan leaned over, touched Ah Yun's head with his forehead, and replied softly: "If you use the method of recruiting An, it will be the fastest."
If violence is countered with violence, when the officers and soldiers under the second brother have the upper hand, he should come back. ”She and Ah Yun were about to turn around and go back to the inner courtyard, when suddenly a carriage galloped over, and the coachman "shouted", and the carriage stopped at the door of Su's house.The servants of the Su family recognized it first and shouted: "It's the carriage of the Zheng family" Sure enough, Mama Hu quickly opened the door curtain, got off the carriage, and walked over.Mama Hu persuaded first: "Seventh girl, second cousin girl, pack up your things and go to Zheng's house to live for a while, rest assured, the maid has already cleaned up the west wing room in Tingyuxuan" Ah Yun said embarrassedly: "Mama Hu, my brother let us feel at ease at home, saying that Mama Hu will come to the house to help."
My brother didn't say let us go to my aunt's house to live" "Oh" Mama Hu's expression was a little disappointed, but she didn't refute it, and said: "The eldest lady said the same, if you refuse to go to the Zheng family to live, let me stay in the Su family for the time being and guard the door." ”Ah Yun asked again: "Mama Hu, did my aunt say when my brother and second cousin will come back" Mama Hu frowned, sighed softly, and replied: "We don't care about their speed, as long as we are safe" After speaking, she turned around and went to the carriage to get the baggage, took Ah Yun's hand, and entered the door together and went back to the inner courtyard.After knowing Su Mu's movements, Hong Yuejing hurriedly came to Su's house to visit Zheng Qingchuan the next day, and the third and fourth young grandmothers of the Hong family also came to ask for news.Ah Qing and Fu Ting even came to persuade Zheng Qingchuan to go to the Fuguo Mansion to live.Xiao Xiao took out a letter from the study, one to Hong Yuejing, one to Aqing, one to Fu Ting, and another one, which the third young grandmother of the Tuohong family took back and handed it to Hong Zhengchang, the second young master of the Hong family.The Hong family no longer has a house in the capital, and the second, third, and fourth young masters of the Hong family all live in the wedding house of the eldest lady of the Zheng family, because the eldest lady of the Zheng family is their own aunt.The fourth young grandmother of the Hong family suddenly grabbed Zheng Qingchuan's hand and whispered: "The second sister-in-law asked someone to bring me a letter, saying that she wanted to return to the capital.also said, as long as you help persuade the second brother, the second brother will not be angry with her, and she will be able to come back I am curious, how did she offend you" Zheng Qingchuan reluctantly squeezed out a wry smile and refused: "The second cousin and sister-in-law misunderstood." ”At the end of the point, no more will be said.The fourth young grandmother of the Hong family didn't believe Zheng Qingchuan's explanation, and she was still suspicious.Mama Hu suddenly came in and said, "The Seventh Girl's lunch is ready" Because there are many guests here today, Mama Hu specially prepared two tables of sumptuous banquets.Zheng Qingchuan didn't want to be pestered by the fourth young grandmother of the Hong family anymore, so he immediately stood up and said, "Mama Hu, prepare two more jars of fruit wine."
Let's go to the hall and sit down now" After lunch, the third and fourth young grandmothers of the Hong family left first.Hong Yuejing said apologetically: "Qiqi, if it weren't for Xiao Wujiang's father's bad legs, I would definitely come to the Su family to stay with you for a few days."
Su Mu is not at home, I am worried that you will be scared at night.I asked Mama Yu to come here to take care of you, okay, Mama Yu has been by my side for many years, it's very good, steady and smart" Zheng Qingchuan smiled: "It's okay, big sister, don't worry, there are Mama Hu and Mama He at home, and Mama Yu will also take care of Xiao Wujiang and Xiao Wu Huai."
The Su family has a simple population, and they are all old servants. ”Ah Qing said loudly and affirmatively beside him: "Qiqi, I'll let Mama Yun come back" Zheng Qingchuan didn't agree, and said patiently: "Mama Yun has finally become familiar in the Fuguo Mansion, and she can't leave the impression that she is not a person inside and outside, if Mama Yun is in charge of affairs in the Fuguo Mansion for a while, and then she will go back to the Su family to take care of things for a while, east and west, then which family is she from, I am afraid that it will be difficult for the people in the Fuguo Mansion to treat her as their own person anymore." ”Ah Qing didn't argue, his eyes were firm, but he silently made a bold decision in his heart, and then said that he wanted to go back early.Zheng Qingchuan and Hong Yuejing both thought that Ah Qing was scrupling about the elders of the Fuguo Mansion and were afraid that the elders would blame them, so they were in a hurry to go back, so they didn't keep Ah Qing.Only Ah Yun was reluctant, and said softly: "Ah Qing, can you wait a while and then leave, can you come back tomorrow" Ah Qing said briskly: "Don't worry, you will know after a while" Ah Yun didn't understand Ah Qing's meaning, his eyes were ignorant, and he looked at Ah Qing suspiciously, but Ah Qing left in a hurry.In the evening, three carriages suddenly came, stopped at the gate of the Su family, Fu Ting got off the horse first, and then helped Aqing down from the second carriage.Mama Yun also appeared immediately after, directing the maids to move things from the carriage.When Mama Hu heard the report, she ran to the gate, and was immediately startled by the scene in front of her, and hurriedly asked: "Cousin, uncle, what's going on" Ah Qing stood beside Fu Ting, smiling brightly, but she was not in a hurry to answer.Fu Ting said with a smile: "Mama Hu, rest assured, we have obtained the consent of the elders in the family to come to the Su family to live for a few days."
Brother Su is not at home, and Aqing is not worried about his sister-in-law and nephew. ”It can be seen that the husband in the honeymoon period is obedient to his wife, and he is in a sweet mood, Mama Hu was suddenly relieved, and said with a smile: "Uncle, you must not follow the cousin to mess around, there are slaves and maids here, it will be fine, you better go back, otherwise, I persuade the little master to go to the Zheng family to live temporarily, it is also okay" Mama Hu really didn't expect that such a high family in the Fuguo Mansion would easily agree to Aqing's request, even if it was in an ordinary people's house, It is by no means easy to allow a daughter-in-law to go back to her parents' house, not to mention that she still let the young couple come back to live together like this, and Mama Hu, who looks like a son-in-law, said in her heart: The old lady and the old lady of the Fuguo Mansion are also too generous, and the old man of the family is like this, Ah Qing didn't care about Mama Hu's advice at all, and told the maids to move things quickly, and then couldn't wait to enter the door and go to the West Cross Courtyard to find Zheng Qingchuan.Mama Hu led the way in front and asked Fu Ting, the uncle, to go to the outer courtyard study to sit first.Mama Yun didn't ask Mama Hu what she meant, so she directly led someone to move things to the east cross courtyard, and commanded the maid to clean the east cross courtyard and arrange the house, and cultivated in the Fuguo Mansion for a while, which looked more powerful than before Zheng Qingchuan heard the news in the west cross courtyard, and just wanted to go to the outer courtyard, he met Ah Qing who came in.Zheng Qingchuan pretended to be annoyed and said: "Ah Qing, why are you so willful" Ah Qing grinned, grabbed Zheng Qingchuan's arm, and said: "If I don't come to protect you, how can I sleep myself Instead of being anxious elsewhere, it is better to rush to the front to guard Qiqi rest assured, the small courtyard where I live in the Fuguo Mansion is just about to repair the flowers and trees, and I have to change the tiles, and there is no free yard to live in, so my mother-in-law ordered us to come back and borrow it."
The mother-in-law above also personally agreed to let me live in the East Cross Courtyard, which is empty anyway" Zheng Qingchuan felt that this was a little inappropriate, and hesitated and did not agree.After a stalemate for a moment, Mama Yun came over to greet Zheng Qingchuan and helped explain: "The old lady and the eldest lady of the Fuguo Mansion did agree.Don't worry, young lady. ”Zheng Qingchuan had nothing to say, so she took Aqing's hand and went into the house to see the child.In this regard, it was Ah Yun who smiled the most.That night, Ah Qing and Fu Ting lived in the East Cross Courtyard, and Zheng Qingchuan and A Yun were in the West Cross Courtyard.What reassures Zheng Qingchuan the most is not that Ah Qing and Fu Ting are back, but that Mama Yun is at home.Mama Yun has been in the Su family for decades, and she is very familiar with both people and things, just like the land lord of the Su family.The reason why Ah Qing insisted on coming back was that she was afraid that some servants would be uneasy and kind, collude with outsiders, and secretly open the door at night to let outsiders in to steal and set fires, and there was a baby at home who couldn't be frightened, so she didn't worry about Zheng Qingchuan, Ah Yun and the little doll.For people who care very much, how can they not be careful to guard it, and where can they hope for luck:
