After returning to Beijing, Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan first visited relatives and friends, and then picked an auspicious day of the zodiac to invite relatives and friends who had not drunk Ayun's wine to their homes to make up for a sumptuous banquet.Among them, Hong Yuejing, the cousin, gave the most generous gifts, Ah Yun and Xun Tie did not live in the Su family, but lived in the small mansion where Ah Yun was married.However, they would come to Su's house by carriage every day.I have to say that Ah Yun has changed after marriage, and Zheng Qingchuan feels that Ah Yun has finally grown up in terms of mentality.Anyway, it's just that a person no longer sees himself as a child, but as an adult.In this regard, Zheng Qingchuan was happy to see that not long after, Su Mu decided to go back to Suzhou.The main reason was that Master Du sent a letter saying that Mrs.
Su was seriously ill.Zheng Qingchuan began to pack his luggage, and asked: "Ah Yun, are you going to go to Suzhou to meet the elders" Ah Yun replied positively: "Qiqi, I also want to go this time."
After I go back today, I will discuss with my husband first, and then ask my brother what he means, and then I can decide. ”Zheng Qingchuan said with a smile: "Ah Yun, the sooner we discuss, the better" Ah Yun sat on the edge of the bed and shook the fan without bullying, and said in a low voice: "Qiqi rest assured" The smile in his eyes was confident, but his expression was soft.Soft, no sharp feeling only came back for less than a month, and he was about to leave the capital again, and the thought of being bumpy on the road again, Zheng Qingchuan couldn't help but feel distressed and not bullied, afraid that he would not be able to bear it.Before Su Mu left, he had to say goodbye again, especially to Mrs.
Zheng, A Qing, Hong Zhengchang and Hong Yuejing.Mrs.
Zheng, Ah Qing and Hong Yuejing all made it clear that they could help take care of the non-bullying, and if Su Mu was relieved, he could leave the non-bullying in the capital.Among them, Aqing's attitude was the most positive, and Aqing also said that it was inconvenient for him to go to Suzhou, and he hoped that his brother would bring his second grandfather and second grandmother to live in the capital.As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and she really missed those elders.Su Mu's tone made people feel calm, and he said: "The second grandfather probably has no plans to return to Beijing.Life in Suzhou is peaceful and suitable for the elderly.I'll probably be there for a few more days this time, maybe half a year, or more. ”Ah Qing still relied on Su Mu, the elder brother, and muttered for a long time, and then asked Mama Yun to bring a few burdens, saying that it was clothes, supplements and gadgets for the elders of the Hong family and Old Madam Su.Ah Qing asked again: "Brother, do you really want to take him to Suzhou, he is still very young." ”Su Mu smiled: "Our group of adults will take care of one of his children, and we won't be negligent, don't worry."
When I was not in the capital, if you encountered something difficult to decide, I would consult with my aunt. ”Ah Qing said obediently: "Good" There was a subtle reluctance in his expression.The fourth wife of the Hong family and his wife and Mr. and Mrs.
A Yun also went to Suzhou together.Ah Qing and Fu Ting came to see him off in person.Zheng Qingchuan admonished: "Ah Qing, take care of yourself" Ah Qing said: "I really want to hide myself in the box and go with you quietly" Even if Ah Qing is smart, there are many situations that Zheng Qingchuan pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Actually, I also brought a small shaker that is not bullied, and Ah Qing can hide in the shaker that is not bullied" Ah Qing wrinkled his nose, no longer looked sad, and couldn't help laughing.Zheng Qingchuan created another opportunity to let Ah Qing and Ah Yun whisper for a while, and after finishing speaking, let Ah Qing kiss Ah Qing's face again before setting off.Walking by water, fortunately, I didn't deceive or seasick, and I had a lot of fun.When he arrived in Suzhou, he was taking a nap in Su Mu's arms.The four masters and four ladies of the Hong family showed their sense of responsibility as masters, rented carriages and bought a lot of wine and food, and led everyone to the Hong family's house in the countryside.Along the way, Ah Yun and the four ladies of the Hong family were talking to Xun Tielu, telling him about the situation of the Hong family, and also chatting about the customs and customs of Suzhou, and they were happy.Zheng Qingchuan loves to take a nap as much as Bubuli, but unfortunately she is not as small as Bubuli, and she can't let Su Mu hold it like that, so she can only take the initiative to reach out and hug Su Mu and Bubuli, put her head on Su Mu's shoulder, can't get up, drowsy, and then really fell asleep in the shaking of the carriage.When she arrived at the Hong family's house, Su Mu woke her up.The Hong family became lively all of a sudden, smiling one by one, and the laughter and laughter were like the rolling Yellow River.Mrs.
Hong was very reasonable, and said: "Su Mu, you go to visit your grandmother first, and then come back for dinner" She stretched out her old hand, touched the top of her head, her eyes were very loving, and her movements were very light, obviously not wanting to wake up the sleeping child.In fact, Mrs.
Su lives next door to the Hong family, and the two families are neighbors, the reason is to facilitate the sixth and seventh young masters of the Su family to study with the third master of the Hong family.As soon as the nurse and Master Du heard the lively sound, they hurriedly came over to see Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan.The nurse first briefly described Mrs.
Su's situation: "The old lady has a bad complexion, she has no strength, and she has been lying in bed for several days.When I got out of bed and went to the clean room, I walked tremblingly and lost a lot of weight.At night, either panting or sighing.The main thing is that I am not happy in my heart and there is no smile on my face. ”Master Du had already said in the letter that the sixth young master and the seventh young master were angry with the old lady, and the nurse didn't repeat it this time.The eyes of the nurse and Master Du were always uncontrollably glanced, obviously greedy, very fond and wanted to hug Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan did not hesitate, walked into Mrs.
Su's house, and found that the room was bright and tidy.A maid was holding a spittoon, serving Mrs.
Su to spit.Another maid was holding a tea cup and preparing to serve Mrs.
Su to rinse her mouth.At the beginning, Su Mu left a few servants to take care of Mrs.
Su, but now it seems that the servants are very loyal.Zheng Qingchuan immediately had the intention of repaying the favor, and he must reward these people who took care of Mrs.
Su later, and reuse them in the future.Old Madam Su's eyes were dizzy, and she saw Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan, but she didn't recognize that this was Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan, looking weak, and after rinsing her mouth, she lay down again, making a muddy sound that was both like a sigh and a panting.The maids were overjoyed at this time, and hurriedly saluted Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan.Su Mu and Zheng Qingchuan were followed by Ah Yun and Xun Tielu, and at this time, everyone looked at Old Madam Su with solemn moods and expressions.The old face and the old body were full of sorrow.The old man's body was tormented by old age and decay, and he looked very painful.Su Mu handed the bully to Zheng Qingchuan, then walked towards the bed, bent down, lowered his head, and shouted in a calm voice, "Grandmother." ”Ah Yun also hurriedly trotted over, and the closer she got, the more clearly she could see Old Madam Su's wrinkles and age spots, as well as her lifeless eyes, and Ah Yun's tears suddenly welled up.She held Mrs.
Su's hand: "Grandmother and grandmother" Mrs.
Su turned her face sideways and stared at Ah Yun with her unsparkling eyes, but she didn't react for a long time, as if she didn't recognize it.Zheng Qingchuan handed the nurse the bully and walked over."
Grandmother, I'm Qiqi."
Old Madam Su suddenly made a surprised voice: "Qiqi, is Su Mu back?"
Zheng Qingchuan said: "Su Mu is also back, and Ah Yun, Ah Yun's husband is also here." ”didn't listen to Zheng Qingchuan anymore, Old Madam Su tried hard to find Su Mu with her eyes.What disturbed her the most was that she wasn't sure if what she was seeing in front of her was Su Mu, because she was trying hard to see the person in front of her clearly, but her eyes couldn't see clearly.Su Mu shouted again: "Grandmother." ”Old Madam Su's face finally smiled, and she stretched out her hand towards Su Mu.Su Mu also stretched out his hand and held his grandmother's hand steadily.Old Madam Su said intermittently: "Su Mu, it's good that you're back, they don't obey and don't make people worry," her voice was low.After saying that, tears flowed from the cloudy eyes.Zheng Qingchuan thought to himself: If you don't worry about the juniors, the old lady should be able to enjoy her old age in peace.However, few people see through the phrase "children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren", "Grandmother, you take care of your body first."
We hope you can live a long life," Su Mu comforted him, and then asked Xun Tielu to stand in front of the bed and introduced: "Grandmother, this is Ah Yun's husband, who got married in December last year. ”Xun Tielu also bent down slightly, bowed his head, and his voice seemed close: "Grandmother, my surname is Xun, you can call me Tielu" Old Madam Su was not confused, and hurriedly shouted: "Open the box for me to get the meeting gift" Master Du hurriedly took Bu Bao from the nurse's hand and hugged it.Master Du's movements were cautious, and looking at the chubby little face, he couldn't help but smile on his face.has been changed hands so many times, and Bu Bao is still sleeping so soundly, it really makes people have to admire the nurse hurriedly opened the cabinet and took out the box containing private money from Mrs.
Su.Ah Yun and Zheng Qingchuan helped Mrs.
Su and made Mrs.
Su sit up.Mrs.
Su's hands trembled, skinny, highlighting the crooked and even shrunken green tendons, like earthworms, and the age spots brought dull colors.The nurse put the box on the quilt, and Mrs.
Su opened the box awkwardly, facing those gold jewelry, gold ingots, jade pendants and pearl chains, she was a little hesitant and did not make a decision immediately.After a while, she cautiously took out a piece of concentric jade pendant, put it in Xun Tielu's hand, smiled, and said, "Good boy Ah Yun is so blessed" After speaking, she finally recognized the remaining person in front of the bed as Ah Yun.Old Madam Su picked up the whole box, pushed it to Ah Yun's chest, and said, "Ah Yun has grown up." ”It means to give the whole box to Ah Yun, Ah Yun suddenly burst into tears and cried choked, and the childhood past poured into his mind and his heart was full of warm feelings, but if the blood boiled all of a sudden, the sourness brought by Ah Yun was also very strong, and Ah Yun cried, Xun Tielu must have been very distressed, and he put his hand on Ah Yun's shoulder, forming a protective posture.Seeing that Mrs.
Su was not energetic, her eyelids were heavy, and she had a tendency to doze off, the nurse reminded softly: "I haven't seen the eldest brother yet" Su Mu turned his head and signaled to Master Du, who walked over slowly.Su Mu took it over with his own hands, but woke up Buying.This wake up, it's terrible, the child's temper is not small when he sleeps, he opens his mouth, and cries loudly, very loudly "Wow" However, for some reason, Su Mu didn't coax him.When Mrs.
Su heard the child's cry, her eyes instantly brightened, staring at Bu Bu Li, and she couldn't take her eyes off Ah Yun barely put away her crying, and choked up: "Grandmother, this is not a bully is my brother's eldest son's name is Su Yue" Old Madam Su stretched out her arm and wanted to hug her, but quickly retracted her hand, probably because she was afraid that she would pass on her illness to the child.Her gaze has never taken off her eyes.Su Mu handed the child over a little and said, "Grandmother, you take his hand." ”Don't bully the fat, it's heavier, and now he's throwing a temper again, kicking his feet around, if he really lets Mrs.
Su hug him, it is estimated that he will be unstable again, the child is still too young, and Mrs.
Su's illness is also a factor that cannot be ignored, so Su Mu didn't let the child get too close.Old Madam Su smiled, grinned toothlessly, stretched out her hand, and touched the chubby hand that was not bullied, looking satisfied.The temperature on the child's body was warmer than that of the adult, as if a warm current flowed into Mrs.
Su's heart.At this moment, Mrs.
Su was no longer thinking about the things that worried her, but was full of long-lost happiness.The little doll's hand brought her far from a smile, and heart disease also requires heart medicine, this is exactly the heart medicine However, if you don't cry louder than anyone else, Mrs.
Su came back to her senses, her spirit was much better, and she said: "Granny Jiang, there is also a box for him, all for him" The nurse looked at Zheng Qingchuan first, and saw that Zheng Qingchuan had no objection, so she walked towards the cabinet and took out another box.Master Du was in a hurry, sweating profusely, not for anything else, just because he was crying because he was not bullied, he really wanted to pick up the child and coax him.However, the pair of parents are letting their children cry.The emperor is not in a hurry, he is in a hurry to die of the eunuch Su Mu is his apprentice, not to bully is Su Mu's son, the next generation, he likes not to bully this child very much, this feeling is too strong Su Mu noticed that Mrs.
Su was tired, so he took the initiative to say: "Grandmother, you sleep first."
Let's go to my second grandfather's side to have a look, and when you wake up, we'll talk to you again. ”"Uh-huh" Old Madam Su agreed happily, but her eyes were still reluctantly watching Bu Bu, and her hand was still holding Bu Bu's little hand.Don't bully his temper, he struggled a few times with his hands, retracted his little hand and hugged Su Mu's neck.The nurse hurriedly comforted Mrs.
Su, helped Mrs.
Su stroke her back, and comforted her with words, to the effect that the young master, the young grandmother, the second girl and the second aunt have not eaten yet, you sleep in peace first, they have finished eating, and they will come to see you later, don't worry, they want to live in Suzhou for a while, and they can come to see you every day Mrs.
Su is well-behaved like a child at this time, and she is a very good-tempered child.Su Mu held on to his hands and returned to the Hong family.As soon as they entered the door, Mrs.
Hong laughed: "Who is lifting the roof, crying so loudly, let me hug him" Su Mu walked towards Mrs.
Hong, smiling a little helplessly, because it became difficult to coax today Su Mu coaxed for a while just now, but he was still crying, probably because he was not coaxed in time, for example, when it just rained, the embankment did not open the gate, and when the water in the reservoir rose to overflow, at this time, as soon as the gate was opened, wouldn't it make the flood more violent?
While chattering: "Who bullied you and told Grandpa Great-Grandpa that I will help you beat him, so don't cry" Next to her, Ah Yun was hugged by Mrs.
Hong, snuggled up to each other, and whispered softly.The Hong family didn't have a meal before, they were all waiting for Su Mu, and they were quickly arranging the dishes and chopsticks, and finally ready to start the banquet.However, everyone was still seated and still stayed in their places, not at all in a hurry.The second and third ladies of the Hong family sat on Zheng Qingchuan's left and right respectively, sitting on ordinary small chairs, holding Zheng Qingchuan's hand, and doing homely work.Zheng Qingchuan silently observed, from the bamboo chair to the eight immortal table, the furniture of the Hong family is very simple The second lady of the Hong family said: "The sixth young master and the seventh young master of the Su family went back to find their own brother, it was a turtle, the outer shell was hard, but the inner part was soft and bold Their grandmother, but they didn't have the courage to stay with their grandmother."
As soon as they saw that the old man was very sick, they ran faster than a rabbit" The third lady of the Hong family smiled: "I heard that the fourth brother of the two of them became the master of the yamen, which is a bit of a flying meaning." ”Zheng Qingchuan was curious and asked: "Shouldn't the master be a flexible person" In Zheng Qingchuan's impression, the fourth young master of the Su family is an honest nerd.The third lady of the Hong family immediately answered: "Yo, can't there be two masters, one is in charge of external affairs, naturally he is flexible; There is also a special help to write folds, letters, and case files, which requires a good handwriting, smooth sentences, and no typos.The fourth young master of the Su family happens to be the one in the back" The second young lady of the Hong family squinted her eyes and said disdainfully: "That family will fight in the nest The boss, second and third of the current family suck the blood of this master and the fourth child like a locust, anyway, let alone a master, even if it is a feudal official, that family doesn't want to get rich Three losers, plus two little white-eyed wolves, how can they be pulled by a thin cow" The former noble lady can only chew on the gossip in the countryside.Zheng Qingchuan listened carefully, but was not provoked by excitement.As soon as the words of the second lady of the Hong family fell, they saw that the old lady Hong sat on the main seat of the main table with her arms, so the others stopped chatting and sat down on the high bench next to the table of the eight immortals one after another, men and women sat at separate tables, and several servants served food.The wine is fragrant, and the atmosphere is lively and lively, and the old lady Hong likes not to bully very much, and has been holding it, and has not let go, but when he is quite interested in dipping the wine with chopsticks and handing it to the mouth of the non-deception, he was persuaded by Su Mu, and then the old man did not insist on going his own way, and decisively gave up the idea of feeding wine.Then, the toasting activity began, and what suffered was Xun Tielu, the new son-in-law's daughter, who poured a glass of red wine into him, and he missed the Su family's fruit wine very much, and there were also people at this table toasting, and the third lady suddenly saluted the fourth lady, raised her right eyebrow, and said with a smile: "We are really envious of you for going outside to play around, and returning to your parents' house Next time, if there is such a good thing, you must give it to us" The fourth lady smiled generously: "I admit this cup of wine, but I don't blame me at the beginning, Who told you to be sick at that time, I, a rough man, can only help you go to add makeup to Ah Yun with this glass of wine, and I will treat you as a thank you for me" "Bah, so thick skin" "You can tell the loss" "I'm this age, I can't be sick for a long time, you have this mouth, turn around and hurt us, we won't spare you one by one, drink cup by cup" "Today I got drunk and let you have a big dream of spring and autumn" "Yes" Ah Yun, whose eyes were red like rabbit eyes, was also amused, These aunts and uncles of the Hong family are really naughty when they speak, naughty and spicy, but this pungent taste is not more real, but a joke.It's like eating not old vinegar, but both sour and sweet fruit vinegar and honey The fourth lady was defeated by the three people who joined forces, and after drinking a few cups, her body had a tendency to be soft, and she seemed to be overwhelmed Zheng Qingchuan couldn't help but worry about the fourth aunt, and took the initiative to hand her a small bowl of three fresh soup.After all, it is very risky to get drunk, and you have to worry about drunken gaffes Fortunately, the other three aunts did not chase and beat hard, and let go of the fourth aunt and the old lady Ma Hong with a smile, and the mother-in-law looked at it with a smile, not stopping the laugh just now, but also did not participate.She also helped Ah Yun pick up vegetables from time to time, and said with a smile: "This is what you like to eat, eat more" Fortunately, the fourth lady of the Hong family had foresight, if the couple didn't buy good wine and food from Suzhou City and bring it back, I'm afraid this banquet would be shabby today.The Hong family is no longer the Hong family when it was in the capital, and the current Hong family is like a former martial arts master who has been abolished martial arts, falling from the peak to the ordinary dust, no different from the crops in the same village.The gorgeous halo was removed, but fortunately, the simple family affection is still there.------ digression------ dinner is here, thank you for your company, I really want to drink Coke today, buy Coke and see you tomorrow:
