In the summer of the 29th year of Jiahe, the emperor appointed the four princes as kings, and the subjects celebrated together.
Changping, Suyuan was in chaos. The servants were busy running around, packing and moving cars, as if the whole family was moving. Yes, this was the whole family moving the capital.
The emperor appointed the fourth prince as the crown prince, and also summoned Ning Guang, who had been recovering from his injuries for five years, to return to the capital to take up a post. Therefore, the whole family had no choice but to move to the capital.
The servants were busy packing and paying tribute, but in the flower hall of Su Garden, Su Liu and others were leisurely eating tea and talking, while the children were sitting on the snow-white carpet and playing.
"It's a good thing our government shipped some luggage to Beijing early, otherwise, it would be really busy." Mrs. Chen said with a smile.
The Song magistrate's term had expired two years ago and he returned to Beijing to serve as the Minister of Household Affairs, so the Song family had already moved back to Beijing. And because most of the Song family's business was in Qingzhou, Song Fei and Cao
Mingzhu and his wife stayed here for the time being. In the past two years, they have slowly shifted the focus of their business to Shangjing and its surrounding areas. They also returned to Shangjing together this time.
Chen Ye won the first prize in the twenty-seventh year and temporarily entered the Hanlin Academy in Beijing. As his wife, Su Xiao naturally followed the other's lead and went to Beijing early.
Now, Su Liu and the others are leaving, and all their familiar relatives are in Beijing. Naturally, the Chen family is reluctant to leave. Cao Kui simply moved his family to Shangjing, which will not only affect the education in Shangjing, but also the future of Cao Xiaobao.
It is said to be better than a small place like Changping.
"Has the house over there been decorated?" Su Liu smiled and said, "With servants, no matter how busy you are, you won't be able to do much."
"It's easy to say. In such a big mansion, it's a headache to take something away and leave something behind." Mrs. Chen snorted. Although she wanted to move to Beijing to live, this is where the roots are, and the Cao Mansion is also
It will not be sold, but will be kept as the ancestral home.
"I really have to leave, but I'm a little reluctant to leave." Mrs. Chen sighed again.
She has lived for decades, and she has only been to Gyeongju when she travels far away. She has never been to a place no matter how far away she is. This time she moved to Beijing, and she doesn’t know when she will be able to come back and take a look!
"Mom, if you think about it, ask your father to accompany you back for a walk when you have time. It's just a matter of distance." Su Liu said: "It's not like I won't be able to come back for the rest of my life!"
"That's true, when I get old in the future, I'm afraid I'll come back here to retire." Mrs. Chen smiled and glanced at Xiaobao playing on the carpet, and said, "It's just that it's difficult for Xiaobao, and I have to work hard to worship ancestors and so on."
.”
Su Liu followed her gaze and saw a few little cubs sitting together and playing together. Not to mention how happy they were, he smiled and said: "Reading thousands of books is not as good as walking thousands of miles. It's better to run more."
"Mom, brother, he is cheating." Three-year-old Ning Er suddenly ran over and complained with his bright red mouth.
"No, this is a war that never tires of deceit." Four-year-old Ning Xiaochi put her hands on her hips and said loudly, "This is also said in the art of war."
They were playing the game of officers and soldiers catching thieves. Obviously, Ning Xiaochi was an officer and Xiao Ninger was a thief.
"Have you learned how to fight with deceit? What else is there?" Su Liu raised an eyebrow and asked.
"There are also three caves of Cunning Rabbit. They build plank roads openly and cross Chencang secretly." Ning Xiaochi said loudly.
Su Liu chuckled and said, "Is this how you use your idioms to play games?"
Ning Xiaochi scratched his head, pursed his lips and thought for a while, then said, "You should apply what you have learned."
Su Liu chuckled, looked at the unwilling Ning Xiaoer and said: "Since my brother is not tired of deceit in his military use, you can also build a plank road to cross Chencang secretly, which is like a cunning rabbit's three burrows!"
Ning Xiaoer's eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly, but Ning Xiaochi wrinkled up his pretty face.
The younger ones went to play together again. Ms. Chen looked at them fondly and said, "Brother Chi has made a lot of progress too."
Ning Xiaochi started enlightenment at the age of three. Su Liu always felt that it was too early, but Ning Guang said that he was the eldest son and direct grandson, so he had to work harder than his younger siblings. As the saying goes, you can't lose anything at the starting line, so Su Liu had no choice but to do it.
Just listened.
In fact, Ning Xiaochi was very talented and did well in his studies. Su Liu was happy about this. After all, it would be easier for him to learn.
At this time, a servant came to report that Mr. Su from D'ao Village had arrived.
When I say Mr. Su, I actually mean Su Yindan. Su Yindan is now fourteen years old. He has been an apprentice in a shop in Su Liu for the past few years and has done a decent job. He will come whenever he is free.
Look at Yaya, so the servants call him Mr. Su.
This time they were moving to Beijing, and Su Yindan was supposed to come to see Yaya, so Su Liu asked someone to invite him in.
When she heard that her brother was coming, Yaya stood obediently next to Chen and waited quietly. In the past few years, she has been receiving treatment and taking medicine. Although Yaya's brain is not very bright, she is not as stupid as she was when she was a child.
, but the intelligence cannot be improved.
Su Yindan soon followed the servants. What surprised Su Liu and the others was that there was an old woman behind him. After a closer look, who could it be if it wasn't Huang?
Su Liu had never seen Mr. Huang since he brought Yaya back. When Ning Xiaochi was one and a half years old, Mr. Su also passed away. At that time, Mr. Huang and others also sent people to report the funeral, thinking
Su Liu and the others were granddaughters, and they were asked to go back for a ride, but Su Liu did not go, and only asked the servants to send the silk and gold. Now that they have not seen each other for several years, why is Huang so old?
Huang wore a patched gray dress, her gray hair was tied into a low bun, and there was no decoration on her head. She only wore two silver hoop earrings on her ears. Perhaps due to time, her two earlobes had been dragged down.
It has to be long.
She hunched her back slightly, holding the corners of her clothes with both hands. She didn't know whether it was because of panic or something else, but she lowered her head slightly, looking a little embarrassed.
"Eldest sister, aunt." Su Yindan stepped forward and greeted Su Liu and the others respectfully.
When he was young, when Chen was still Su Changsheng's wife, Su Yindan also called her aunt. Now Su Liu is still his eldest sister, but Chen has remarried. It seemed inappropriate to call her aunt, so she changed her name to aunt.
.
"Yin Dan is here, sit down, Yaya, and give your brother a present." Mrs. Chen gently glanced at Yaya, who was standing next to her with her hair in a double bun.
Yaya hummed, walked forward slowly, showed an innocent smile, and called sweetly: "Brother."
Su Yindan sighed and smiled.
Yaya looked over his shoulder and looked behind him. Mrs. Huang happened to raise her head. Yaya looked at it intently. Suddenly her face changed slightly, she exclaimed, and she ran quickly towards Mrs. Chen with a look of fear on her face.
"My dear, she beat Yaya."
Mrs. Chen pulled her into her arms with distress, patted her back and said, "Yaya, be good, no one here dares to hit Yaya, be good."
Yaya hugged her like a little animal. Perhaps it was Chen's gentle voice that made her calm down slowly, and she secretly revealed one eye to peek at Huang.
Huang was also stunned. She hadn't seen her for many years. This child, who looked like a noble lady in silk and gold jewelry, was actually the fool? Her granddaughter?
Looking at Su Liu and Chen again, Huang's cloudy eyes shrank again, and their expressions changed several times. The two women sitting on top of them, the older one was wearing a purple dress, a gold hairpin plug, and green jade necklaces on both hands.
The bracelet is full of elegance and elegance. Who else is it if it’s not Mr. Chen?
As for that young one, Mrs. Huang will probably recognize her until her death. She is wearing a Hunan-colored dress, with her temples held high, swaying slightly, and looking very noble. Who else could it be if it wasn't the Su Liu she was cursing every day?
Seeing Su Liu's eyes glance over, Huang was startled and lowered her head again.
"Yindan, what's going on here?" Su Liu took a sip of tea and looked at Huang and asked Yindan.
Su Yindan was a little embarrassed. Now that he was older and more experienced in the shop, how could he not understand what Su Liu meant?
Glancing slightly at Mrs. Huang beside her, Su Yindan felt a little helpless. After so many years, why can't grandma still calm down? She had to make a fuss.
Su Yindan sighed in her heart and said with a smile: "I heard that eldest sister you are moving to Beijing, so I thought of coming to see Yaya, otherwise I don't know when I can see you." After a pause,
He added: "Grandma hasn't seen Yaya and eldest sister for many years. When she heard that I was coming, she thought she would come and take a look!"
Mrs. Huang then raised her head again and looked at Su Liu with some scorn, but she couldn't hold back a word, so she had to look at Yaya and said enthusiastically: "Yes, Yaya, I'm grandma, come here."
Look at grandma, grandma Keer misses you, come here quickly."
Yaya saw Huang moving and waving, she let out a soft cry, and kept pushing her head into Chen's arms: "No, no."
Huang was so embarrassed that her face turned a little dark.
Mrs. Chen and Su Liu looked at each other, and the former said to the mother-in-law who was standing by: "Auntie Rao, it's time for the fourth lady to take medicine. You can take her down to eat. She is used to eating sweet-scented osmanthus-flavored candied fruit."
If it’s gone, go back to Madam Cui to get some.”
Aunt Rao bent her knees and agreed, and immediately stepped forward to take Yaya down.
Seeing this, Mrs. Huang pursed her lips, her eyelids drooped, and her appearance became more and more mean.
"Yaya hasn't stopped taking medicine in these years, and she also accepts life. Don't be surprised by Yaya's breast milk." Mrs. Chen smiled again this time and said, "Sit down, I haven't seen you for some years. You are not in good health."
good?"
Huang didn't expect that Chen would take the initiative to talk to her, let alone that Chen's tone would be so calm, but calm, but also filled with alienation. Looking at her carefully, he saw a smile on her lips and fair and round skin.
She looks like someone in her early thirties, how can she be old enough to be a grandmother?
But she doesn't know that the more peaceful and kind-hearted this person is, the younger his face will be. In addition, plus the maintenance, he also has many good supplements to support him, and he has children and grandchildren enjoying wealth and has nothing to worry about. How can he not be young?
What if Mrs. Chen would be brooding over the past? In fact, this person has trouble with herself, so she will always brood over the past. Now that Mrs. Chen has two children, a doting husband, and a wealthy family, how can she continue to dwell on the past?
?
Therefore, to her, Mrs. Huang is just an ordinary old lady who is familiar with her. To put it more closely, she is her former mother-in-law. This greeting is also a matter of personal cultivation.
Unfortunately, Mrs. Huang would not have thought of this. She would have thought that Mrs. Chen was just showing off, so she said in a strange way: "Having already half-footed in the coffin, what else is there to do? You can't die."
.”
Mrs. Chen paused, her smile froze at the corner of her mouth, coughed lightly, picked up the handkerchief and wiped it on the wings of her nose, and fell silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, Su Yindan frowned and called softly: "Grandma!"
Huang curled his lips and turned his head away. After a while, he asked again: "I heard that you are going to live in Beijing? You will never come back?"
When Mrs. Chen saw Su Liu bowing her head and saying nothing, she sighed in her heart and said warmly: "The husbands of the two sisters are in Beijing. I'm afraid they won't be back for a long time."
"How can that be done?" Mrs. Huang was a little anxious when she heard that. Seeing Su Liu looking over, she hurriedly changed her words: "Then I won't be able to see Yaya?"
Su Liu lowered his eyes, put down the tea cup and said, "I didn't know that the old lady misses Yaya so much, and she can bear not seeing her for so many years."
Mrs. Huang was so choked by her that she couldn't get off the stage, so she stabbed: "You think I don't want to come see her, why don't you guard me like a thief?"
"Grandma!" Su Yindan's face was burning, and she quickly said to Su Liu and the others: "Sister, we have met Yaya, so we are going back with grandma. I will go to Beijing again when I have money.
Visiting you."
Su Liu didn't want Su Yindan to look ugly, so he said: "Go ahead, work hard, learn more and see more. If you do well, I will naturally see it, and I can't treat you badly."
Su Yindan agreed with a smile, helped Huang and was about to leave.
"I just came, my butt is not even hot yet, what are you in a hurry for?" Huang pushed him away, looked at Su Liu and said: "Yin Dan calls you eldest sister, now our family is dead and scattered, he
He is also your only brother now. Since he works in your shop, at least let him be the shopkeeper. What is the use of being a young apprentice? There is no future at all. "
As soon as she said these words, Su Yindan's expression changed and she hurriedly looked at Su Liu, wanting to explain, but it was too late.
"Insolent!" Su Liu slapped the table and the tea cup on the table trembled. She glared at Huang and scolded: "What do you mean by the only brother? The one born by my mother is my only brother. Silver egg, I
If you are willing to recognize him, he is my brother. If I don't recognize him, he is nothing. Who do you think you are and dare to curse my brother?"
Mrs. Huang was so frightened that she froze in place and could not recover for a long time.
"Sister, don't be upset, grandma didn't mean it." Su Yindan apologized with a shy face.
"Yindan, you are Yaya's biological brother. I welcome you to come see her, but you must also be measured. Don't bring in all the cats and dogs and dare to make false claims." Su Liu said sharply.
"Sister, I won't do it next time. Let's go back now." Su Yindan pulled Huang hard and said, "Grandma, let's go."
Mrs. Huang came to her senses and saw Su Yindan dragging her, struggling for a few times, and said: "I'm crazy and forgot that you have a younger brother, but I'm not wrong, Yindan is also your younger brother.
, he is almost at the age to propose marriage. As a shopkeeper, he still worries about finding a good girl to marry into? You are also powerful, so what's the point of being a shopkeeper for him? "
Su Liu pursed her lips and looked at Su Yindan: "Yindan, do you think so too?"
Su Yin's face turned pale, she shook her head vigorously and said, "Sister, I don't dare. I don't have the ability to be a shopkeeper."
"Did you hear that?" Su Liu looked at Mr. Huang coldly and said: "Wear a hat as big as your head. How long has he been in the shop? How many people does he know? How much knowledge does he have? I will give him a shopkeeper.
If you do, can he take care of it? If you aim too high, you will only fall more painfully. Don’t you know that the road has to be taken step by step, and if you take too big a step, it will easily lead to trouble? "
Huang's face turned red after being scolded, and when she wanted to say something, Su Yindan said angrily: "Grandma, do you still want to go back and live with your second uncle? If this happens again, just go and live with your second uncle."
Huang's body stiffened, her eye circles suddenly turned red, she glanced at Su Liu and the others unwillingly, and muttered: "I'm not doing it for your own good, do you still want to marry me?"
"Eldest sister is good enough to me. If I have the ability, I will definitely be the shopkeeper over time. Grandma, let's go, are you going to make it impossible for me to even do my errands?" Su Yindan's tone was pleading.
.
Huang clenched her fists, lowered her head, and let Su Yindan be pulled out without saying a word.
"What's going on? The old lady doesn't live with the second child anymore?" After they left, Ms. Chen finally calmed down and asked doubtfully.
Su Liu said softly: "I heard that Luo gave birth to a son later, and Su Fusheng was protecting him. He has become more and more angry in the past two years. In addition to the conditions I mentioned before, it was impossible to go. The couple felt resentful.
He was with her, didn't want to see her, and worked together to bully her, and then she ended up living with Yin Dan."
After hearing this, Mrs. Chen sighed: "What a crime. I have thought of her as a majestic person all my life, and now she is getting old, so she has to end up like this. The same goes for my second son. I love him in vain."
"I've said before that she is the one who brought it upon herself and she can't blame anyone else." Su Liu snorted and said, "Looking at it now, Yindan can calm her down a bit and she can still listen to his words.
. Come to think of it, besides Yin Dan, she has no one else to rely on."
She no longer wants to see her son. Yindan, her grandson, is the last straw for the Huang family. She can only hold on tightly, otherwise no one will know about her death at such an age.
When Mrs. Huang walked out of Su Liu's house, she held her grandson's hand tightly, wiped her tears and said in one sentence: "Yindan, don't imitate those unfilial people. Grandma can only rely on you."
, if you ignore grandma, grandma will only be able to wipe her neck!"
Su Yindan looked at her old appearance, sighed longly, and said: "My grandsons will support you till the end of your life. It's just grandma. You shouldn't have said what you just said. From now on, you can just feel at ease and don't think about anything else."
Now, if I have a grandchild with a mouth to feed, you are indispensable."
Mrs. Huang opened her mouth, lowered her head dejectedly, and said quietly: "Grandma will listen to you." Then she muttered to herself: "Otherwise, what else can I do?"
Does Huang regret it? Of course she does. She has been in such a bad situation today, and many things have her own influence. How can she not regret it? The son she has always loved has found out that she is in the way. How can she not be sad?
In this life, I am a loser.
Many years later, until Huang grew old, she was also supported by Yindan and died, and she never saw Su Liu and the others again. Before she died, she held Yindan's hand and kept chanting: "Yindan, grandma's heart is full of love."
I regret it, I regret it!"
