Chapter 17: Family Letters

On the afternoon of the day that Wei Wang Fengchi returned to Beijing, Mrs. Su was released from prison, and the chief historian went to pick him up in person. Feng Chi wanted to go in person, but he was left in the palace by Emperor Yongchang to talk about his father's and son's relationship, so he had to send Changshi over and take care of the Su family by the way. The letter written by Mrs. Su on the day she arrived home was just that the letter did not come as fast as the people from the Wei Palace.

Mrs. Su didn't suffer much, she didn't commit any major crimes, and her treatment in prison was good. The letter first reported safety, so that Su Jinqiu could rest assured, and then told Su Jinqiu that he lived in the Mu family with peace of mind, no matter what Mrs. Mu taught, there would always be a nurturing person in the future. As for family affairs, he has his own arrangements.

"Grandfather is well, let me continue to stay in the Mu family." Su Jinqiu breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't want to touch the light of King Wei anymore, Old Lady Su was released from prison, everything was fine, and it was always a good thing.

Su Huaiyu was also relieved when he heard this, thought about it and asked, "The old lady's official position?" ”

Su Jinqiu shook his head and said, "My grandfather didn't say anything in the letter, he only said that he would help me find a suitable family." ”

"Ugh." Su Huaiyu sighed lightly.

Su Jinqiu asked the girl to wait for the pen and ink, and when she picked up the pen and wrote a reply, she felt heavy at all.

Su Moyu is the old son and only son of Mrs. Su, and he can be described as a jewel. She is Su Moyu's only daughter, and Mrs. Su also loves her very much.

However, she is not a man, especially after Su Moyu's death, this feeling has become more and more obvious.

The loss of a child in old age and the grief of despair are a fatal blow to an old man. Now Mrs. Su has nothing to lose. The granddaughter only needs a dowry, a good in-law, and she can't inherit the bloodline of the Su family, nor can she inherit the continuation of the family.

"Send someone to send it over." Su Jinqiu sealed the envelope and handed it to her mother-in-law.

A man's obsession with his heirs, his inconsolable sadness. The letter first expressed his longing, greetings to his body, and then his life in the Mu family was very good, so that Mrs. Su didn't have to worry, she would live a good life.

After the last time, Su Jinqiu said about Fengchi's recognition of the daughter, and it is very likely that Old Lady Su has already known about it, and she still said it again in the letter. directly stated that she had refused, with Mrs. Su's style of doing things, if she agreed, she would not react. If you don't agree, you won't force it.

The mother-in-law took the letter and hurried away.

Su Huaiyu looked a little lost, looked at Su Jinqiu and said, "The old lady can't be an official anymore." ”

Men's pursuit of power makes people somewhat incomprehensible. The only thing she is worried about now is that Old Lady Su is still unwilling to retreat.

How good it is to retire, it is advisable to raise it for a long time, and be free.

Su Jinqiu thought for a while and said, "King Wei will arrange it, but I can't help my grandfather." "Feng Chi fished people out, and they will definitely be settled.

"It's rare that King Wei has a heart." Su Huaiyu said with a grateful face, and couldn't help but look at Su Jinqiu and said, "What do you want to refuse for, it's just a righteous daughter." ”

Su Jinqiu pursed her lips, turned her face away, and a moment of disgust flashed in her eyes, but she changed the topic away, and suddenly asked Su Huaiyu: "I've always been curious, how can the Su family have such a small population?" ”

In the capital, the Su family is recognized as a scholarly family and a big family, and there have been many capable people in their ancestors. But as far as Su Jinqiu knows, the Su family really has no relatives and friends, and there is no one to find within the five suits, which is also the reason why she will come to the Mu family to take refuge.

The reason for this is that in ancient times, when there was no planning for fertility, there would be no children, either because of low fertility or poor sperm quality. Su Moyu is an old man, she was born eight years ago, Su Moyu did not have any more children, Mrs. Su did not blame, it is estimated that it has something to do with the physique of the Su family.

"This ...... I don't know very well, it seems like it's been a single pass all along. Su Huaiyu said, she entered the Su Mansion at the age of fifteen, and she didn't know much about the affairs of the Su family, and said: "Relatives or something, it may not be a good thing to have it, and it is not necessarily a bad thing to have it." At least no one jumped out to fight you for the property, isn't it very good. ”

Su Jinqiu looked at Su Huaiyu's expression, as if she had been shocked once.

Practicing martial arts, acting informally, the most hated woman by scholars. Old lady Su, the head of the scholars, actually recognized her as a righteous daughter, but she just felt that she had high martial arts skills, and it was enough to be a guard, so she didn't have to be named Su Huaiyu, and she was completely named according to the generations of the Su family.

The two must have a relationship, and it is still not a small relationship.

The breath of the New Year is getting heavier and heavier, and Su Jinqiu is filial piety to celebrate the New Year alone, and the New Year is still alive. On the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, Lao Zhang returned from collecting rent, and personally went into the house to meet Su Jinqiu, rice, firewood, game and other things have been sent to the kitchen, and another 17,000 taels of silver, Su Jinqiu handed over all of them to Su Huaiyu after seeing them.

"This year's annual growth is not very good, less than in previous years, and I hope the girl will understand." Lao Zhang said.

Su Huaiyu sneered and said, "Do those Zhuang leaders think that the Su family is not good, this is to be greedy." ”

Lao Zhang hurriedly explained: "It's really not a good year. ”

It's that Mrs. Su has returned to her hometown, and there are still protΓ©gΓ©s and old friends, and the officials may not be able to open it, cleaning up a village is really the same as playing, which ordinary people dare to provoke.

Su Jinqiu said with a smile: "Uncle Zhang's hard work, there is a lot of silver, but the croppers work hard to farm, and it is good to be free of grace in the future." ”

In previous years, when Su Moyu collected the accounts, she was always by her side, and this number was a little less than in previous years, but it was indeed not much less. Relying on the sky to eat, it is more or less normal, the Su family has long been not short of this bit of silver, and she lives in another house, so it doesn't matter about trivial matters.

Lao Zhang laughed when he heard this, and said, "This is the girl's generosity." ”

"The master's family is generous, if those village leaders are really dishonest, you don't have to hide it, report it to me, and I will clean them up." Su Huaiyu said.

The Su family has accumulated for several generations, and the wealth is very considerable. Old lady Su is okay, if he is not there one day, it will really take some effort to keep it, and he will be bullied at this time, and he will pay it back in the future.

Su Jinqiu laughed when she heard this, and couldn't help but look up at Su Huaiyu. Old lady Su dared to hand over a large amount of property to her, but she actually believed in Su Huaiyu's ability to keep money, and said, "Auntie, don't worry, they don't dare." Also, Uncle Zhang, take some of the things you received and send them to the old lady, don't lose your courtesy. ”

Su Huaiyu said idly: "You still care about the number of courtesies, the Mu family doesn't even want face, I originally thought it was strange, the hereditary Hou Mansion was almost raided, and now it seems that it really should." ”

If the Mu family can still hold on after the arrival of the Wei Palace, and continue to ignore and snub Su Jinqiu, Su Huaiyu can still praise it, at least the backbone is hard enough. As a result, the Mu family immediately changed their faces, and the speed was as fast as singing.

Tear off the last layer of fig leaf with your own hands, you can only scold, and it's really a slut.

"Auntie." Su Jinqiu smiled and pulled Su Huaiyu, and said to Lao Zhang: "Uncle Zhang has worked hard, go back and have a good rest and have a happy New Year." ”

"Girl is compassionate." Lao Zhang said with a smile and bowed to leave.

When he went out, Su Jinqiu asked Su Huaiyu: "Uncle Zhang's family is in the capital, and he is the only one here." Speaking of which, we have also settled down in Jiangcheng, why not let him go back to Beijing, my grandfather is alone in the capital, I am very worried, he can also be reunited with his family. ”

Lao Zhang has long been not a subordinate, and Mrs. Su has already given the deed, and the other has given the field to produce acres. belongs to the henchmen of the henchmen, and is absolutely reliable, but since he is his own person, he has to think more about him. She is not short of manpower here, but the situation in the capital is not easy to say.

Su Huaiyu thought about it and said, "What the girl said is that he needs to go twice a year to collect rent here, so he doesn't have to be here all year round." After the New Year, I told him to hear what he meant. ”

The old lady sent Lao Zhang to go with them, thinking that it would be convenient for a man to do things, in case there is a change in time. Now that his life in the Mu family is stable, he is really not needed.

"The seventh girl is here......" the mother-in-law came in.

The two stopped the topic, the little girl opened the curtain, and Mu Qiniang hurried in.

It may be that she can't adapt to it just after passing through, Mu Qiniang walks very fast, and she doesn't have a bit of a beautiful temperament, so Mu Liuniang and Su Jinqiu have both said about her, but it's not so easy to change her habits, Mu Qiniang is trying to change it.

This time it was different, Mu Qiniang almost ran away, and her expression seemed very anxious, and she said to Su Jinqiu when she entered the door: "I have something I want to tell you......"

Su Huaiyu was stunned for a moment, Su Jinqiu waved to the girls, and the people in the house retreated. Mu Qiniang glanced at Su Huaiyu uneasily, and Su Jinqiu said with a smile: "Sister has something to say, just say ......."

Mu Qiniang walked up to Su Jinqiu and whispered, "This morning, I heard my grandmother tell my wife that she wants to protect you from the media." ”
