She is indeed a disappointing child, always has been.
Over the years, what she has been thinking about is Ye Shihan from the palace next door. Last night, she was not at home. Everyone knew that she was lying on the wall again, but no one was too lazy to care about her. The Su family no longer had much expectations for her.
"Grandma, it's almost dawn, and my grandfather and father must have already been on their way. Let's pack our belongings and leave early."
Her words made the old lady and Mrs. Liu look up at her in confusion.
She had never asked about family matters before. Yesterday, her grandfather and father were about to be sent away. She still wanted to find that Ye Shihan, so everyone was full of doubts about her words!
"Leave? Where are we going? Our home has been confiscated, and the valuable items are gone. It would be a dead end for us to leave, so we might as well die here."
Ms. Liu let out a long sigh, her eyes filled with sadness.
"Mom, although the imperial edict was issued and the house was raided, everyone must have something close to their own. Let's take our brothers and sisters and leave here first. Isn't there a house for worshiping ancestors in Sujia? There is no such thing in the imperial edict.
It was mentioned that there will be fines there, so let’s move there first.”
Her words surprised the old lady. She glanced at Su Mu and said,
"Sanya, why do you suddenly sound like a different person when you speak?"
Su Mu didn't have time to explain, "Grandma, it's too late if you don't leave now. The official will arrive just as soon as he speaks. We'll talk about some things when we get there."
The old lady finally stood up. Now that the cynical Sanya suddenly became sensible, what reason does she, an old person, have to fight here!
Thinking of this, she turned around and gave instructions to the girl beside her, then went into the house to pack her things.
As early as yesterday when the emperor issued the imperial edict, some of the servants and maids at home were sent away, and the rest were unwilling to leave.
Su Mu was very fortunate that the original owner wanted to secretly save some dowry, so he hid dozens of one-hundred-tael silver notes in an inconspicuous place in the corner. She counted them and found that these banknotes amounted to three thousand taels. This,
It was the only thing she admired about the original owner. She didn't do anything else well.
After a while, everyone stood in the yard carrying their burdens. Su Mu raised his eyes and saw that there were only a dozen or so people left here, except for family members, six maids, and five servants. However, these few
Faithful slave, this is enough.
She moved forward and came to everyone, "Grandma, without further ado, let's leave early to avoid being laughed at when people in the city start to move around at dawn."
The old lady raised her wrinkled face and glanced around the yard, then nodded, "That's all, we are still better than your grandfather and the others. I don't know what happened to them."
As she said that, the old lady wiped away her tears again. It's no wonder that Mr. Su was almost seventy years old. Although he was in good health, he couldn't bear the torment.
"Grandma, let's go, keep the green hills and don't worry about running out of firewood."
Su Mu stepped forward to help her grandmother, and nodded towards Mrs. Liu, "Mom, let's go."
Mrs. Liu lifted up her clothes and wiped the tears from her eyes, "Let's go, there is no other way now.
Therefore, the remaining female relatives of the Su family took advantage of the still light and rushed to Sujiazhuang, the location of their ancestral home in the countryside not far from the capital, with their luggage.
Fortunately, the official who came to raid the house did not do too much and left two carriages for them, so that the young and old of the Su family would not have to walk on foot!
Su Mu did not ride in the carriage. She followed the carriage with some difficulty despite her plump body. In the carriage, her grandmother, younger brothers and sisters, and mother were already sitting. The other carriage was even more packed with people.
Luggage and belongings, where is her place!
Besides, her figure alone is bigger than that of three people. If she were to sit in it, the skinny horse might not be able to pull her!
As she walked, she looked down at herself, and couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. In her previous life, she had a proud figure, but now she looks like this. It seems that losing weight is the most important thing right now!
In about an hour, they arrived at Sujiazhuang. By this time, it was already broad daylight.
Here only when the Su family worships their ancestors every year, people will be sent to clean it in advance, and then leave after the worship. Therefore, the door here is always locked. In addition, Su Dening is a virtuous person and is not greedy, so the ancestral home here is a
The courtyard with three entrances and three exits is not very luxurious.
Mrs. Su led everyone to stand in the inner courtyard and look around, and they felt a sense of sadness.
"Alas! I think my Su family was once very popular, but now it has ended up in such a dilapidated situation. There is not even a person in charge of the huge courtyard. How can this be a good thing?"
When Mrs. Liu heard the old lady's sigh, she also sighed secretly. She held her fourth daughter Su Qing, who was seven years old, with her left hand, and her youngest son Su Yuanmin, who was six years old, with her right hand. She looked at a loss what to do.
Seeing this scene, Su Mu couldn't help but frown. She took a few steps forward, leaned forward slightly,
"Grandma, now I am the eldest among the younger generations in the family. If grandma can be trusted, I will be in charge!"
"you?"
The old lady was obviously a little surprised. She had watched Sanya grow up. This child was selfish and greedy for fame and fortune. Apart from herself, she was the Ye Shihan next door. The affairs at home had nothing to do with her!
Handing over the family to her? How can she feel at ease?
Seeing the old lady's hesitation, Su Mu said softly again:
"Yes, don't worry, grandma, when Sanya grows up, she won't be the same as before."
She also deeply deplores the original owner's past actions, but her opinion of others cannot be changed in a day, so she must take her time.
The old lady covered her tears and sighed slightly, "Alas! I am old, your mother is soft-tempered, and Qing'er and De'er are young. Now, there really is no one to take care of this family... Alas! Then!
I’ll leave it to you for now, but I don’t have much money left in my hand…”
She naturally understood what her grandmother meant. She was afraid that she would miss the family's money. The old lady's worry was not unfounded. She had stolen the family's money before, but at that time, the Su family had a great business and was not inferior to her.
That little thought.
Now that the Su family is in decline, if she continues to have evil thoughts, it will really add fuel to the fire for the Su family!
Su Mu naturally knew the old lady's worries, who made the original owner's character not so good, so she hurriedly explained, "Grandma, I have some money here, which can last for a while. Please keep the soft things in grandma's hands first.
.”
Her words surprised the old lady. Is it possible that Su Sanya really became sensible overnight?
However, since she has changed, it is a good thing. The old lady is older, so she is naturally happy and relieved!
Right now, we need to get the family settled first. There are too many things that need to be filled in this yard.
The servants and maids at home are all waiting for her orders.
