Chapter 35: Return to Beijing
In the past three years, Su Jinqiu couldn't help but wonder how to calculate the death of her parents, or who should she find to settle the account......
Just as she listened to the corner, Su Moyu learned that Feng Chi had ill intentions towards the Yu family the day after all. Su Moyu received a battle post, a challenge from Song Sizong, to use a chess game to compete in a chess game.
Su Moyu is the old son of Mrs. Su, so he can't help but be too pampered, plus he has been weak since he was a child, so he doesn't even ask much about his schoolwork, I just hope that he can grow up safely. Su Moyu is very competitive, she reads well, but she collects too many miscellaneous items, and she usually cares more about life itself, peaceful and casual.
When he was eight years old, he played five games and five wins to defeat the chess saint at that time, becoming a new generation of chess saints in Beijing, and many people from outside Beijing came to Beijing to ask for advice. Su Moyu doesn't care, he just loves to play chess, and fame and the like are just trivial things, and it's a good thing to be able to meet friends with chess.
is also because the name is too loud, Su Moyu often receives such an invitation to fight, and she is used to it. However, in that mood, if an unknown person invites him to fight, Su Moyu will agree at will, he is not a master, so he doesn't have to be too careful. However, it was Song Sizong who wrote a war book, and he knew that he was a master, and it would take twelve distractions to fight with him.
Of course, if it was invited at another time, Su Moyu could still propose to postpone it, but at that time, it was not appropriate for him to push it off.
Su Moyu proposed to decide the winner in one round, and his body and energy couldn't afford the pressure of five rounds. Song Sizong refused, the best-of-five system is an unwritten rule, that is, Su Moyu's own games are like this, why do you want to change the rules here, he is eager to win, wants to prove himself, but what he wants to win more openly is to lose, and he also wants to lose.
Su Moyu responded, with two wins and two losses, and the fifth game became a decisive game.
Outcome...... lost his life.
"Miss Su......" Song Sizong saw Su Jinqiu turn around to leave, and said loudly: "I have a relationship with Mr. Su, anything, no matter whether I can do it or not, as long as the girl says a word, I will definitely do my best." ”
No matter how far he went, no matter how hard he tried to open his mind, he couldn't let go of it. He has been blaming himself for the past three years, and he has not been in contact with Su Moyu for a day, and Su Moyu must have his own reasons for asking to change the five games to one game.
Physically and mentally to that point, for the sake of his face, he still plays against him, and shows his full level to make friends in chess. Even the most embarrassed smiled at him and said that he was in poor health and did not blame others.
"Thank you, Uncle Song." Su Jinqiu said, took a deep breath and looked at Song Sizong, and said, "Uncle Song doesn't have to feel guilty about this, whether it's my father or grandfather, I haven't blamed you, it's me, although I don't want to see Uncle Song, I haven't really blamed you." My father loved chess all his life, and when he met Uncle Song on the field, he must show his skills to live up to his friendship with Uncle Song. The number of lives is so far, it has nothing to do with people. ”
This is not a face-saving word, Old Lady Su cried like that when she lost her beloved son, she didn't blame Song Sizong. Originally, it was a chess meeting, but Song Sizong neither drugged nor did he do anything.
Gaffes are gaffes, so it seems too stingy to be angry and too insulting to Su Moyu.
It's just that everything in the world is in one clever word.
With Su Moyu's mind, if there was no invitation from Song Sizong to play the chess game, Fengchi's affairs would have hit him hard. Give him a little time to let go, and then distance himself from Feng Chi, and this is the end of the matter.
Similarly, if this matter hadn't broken out, Su Moyu would have worked harder to fight Song Sizong, and it wouldn't have been like this.
It's just that the two are combined, Su Jinqiu doesn't believe in fate, but at this time, he doesn't know what Lu Dao wants to believe.
"You go, the girl doesn't blame you, and I won't be difficult for you." Su Huaiyu's chest rose and fell, trying to make himself a little calmer, and his hands trembled a little when the long sword was returned to the sheath.
She understands all those big truths, and intellectually says that Song Sizong is not to blame for this matter. Song Sizong was just fighting against Su Moyu, he didn't do anything.
However, she really wanted to kill him.
Su Jinqiu didn't want to say any more, turned around and went to the house. Compared to Feng Chi, she didn't dislike Song Sizong so much, Song Sizong was very innocent, but whether it was Feng Chi or Song Sizong, she didn't want to see it.
Song Sizong's face was bitter, he couldn't even forgive himself now, how could he count on the Su family......
Immediately he was speechless, and whatever came out of his mouth was like a mockery.
He bowed and turned away.
Su Jinqiu didn't pay attention to it, entered the house, and sat on the rocking chair in front of the window, his expression a little erratic.
Although Su Moyu and Song Sizong are a little different in age, they are both famous sons in the capital, Su Moyu likes to make friends with famous people the most, and although the relationship with Song Sizong is not as good as that with Fengchi, it is not far behind.
I especially remember what Su Moyu said most often, Reading it (Song Sizong's words) is ill-fated, and it shouldn't have been so hard.
Song Sizong's origin is known to everyone in the capital. Both fortunate and unfortunate. is always a mixture of joy and sorrow, which makes people feel like they don't know how to evaluate it. His father Ye Jingfei is the eldest son of Princess An Ning, and his mother is the niece and granddaughter of the Empress Dowager Song.
At the time of the extreme favor, the Song family openly contradicted the Empress Dowager Chen, and the Empress Dowager Chen personally issued a decree to make her parents reconcile and leave, and handed over the surname to the Song family. The Song family was demoted out of Beijing, and he also followed the Song family back to his hometown. A few years later, his biological father took him home and raised him carefully, Song Sizong himself was also very competitive, both civil and military, and he was excellent at receiving people and things.
Although it is impossible to return to his father's surname, his father's family recognizes his identity, and Song Sizong is so competitive, many people in the capital think that his bad luck has ended here, and something happened when he never discussed his relatives.
For his family affairs, his father Ye Jingfei and stepmother carefully selected for him and selected the girl of the powerful family in the capital, and Song Sizong himself was also very satisfied. The father-in-law, Master Zhi, was born in Bangyan, and he was a four-grade Beijing official at the time, so he did not dislike Song Sizong's background, and he just looked at him as a person who chose his daughter as a husband.
At that time, the two families even set a marriage date, but Song Sizong's biological mother Song was very dissatisfied when she learned about this family affair. Thinking that marrying the daughter of a four-grade petty official was a vicious means for the stepmother to destroy her stepson, it was useless for him to write a letter to the Ye family, so he wrote directly to the Quan family, and the letter was very insulting to the Quan family.
Master Quan was hot-tempered, he almost exploded when he received the letter, the scholar of the Quan family, he was born in Bangyan, Xu Yi's daughter-in-law, and was so insulted by Song Sizong's mother-in-law. Master Quan slapped the letter on Ye Jingfei's face, and bluntly said that he would rather his daughter die at home than marry Song Sizong. Because he couldn't scold the Song family, he scolded Song Sizong by the way.
The Ye family couldn't, so they had to withdraw from the family affairs, and Master Quan immediately found a more suitable family for his daughter, the daughter of the Quan family was already very popular, if it weren't for Song Sizong's reputation, he wouldn't have been able to take his turn at all.
Decide to withdraw from relatives, especially if the right family takes the initiative to withdraw from relatives, how to hide the reason. The capital was in an uproar, Song Sizong's life experience has always been very sympathetic, obviously he didn't do anything wrong, but he returned to his mother's family and did not obey his father. As a result, although more people sympathized with Song Sizong, the right people considered the son-in-law candidate and directly crossed out Song Sizong.
No matter how good Song Sizong is, the fact that Song is his mother will not change, and his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law will definitely have to live together in the future. When the daughter of the family was determined, the two families agreed that after marriage, Song Sizong would go out of the house and live separately to take over the Song family.
With such an unconscious mother-in-law, no daughter-in-law can serve well. Moreover, the Song family is so confused, they have already pitted their biological son like that before, and they are afraid that they will also go down in the future. Master Quan even bluntly said that it is better not to marry a wife like Song Sizong, forget about the pit of his mother, or don't harm other people's girls.
It didn't take long for the Quan family to get married, and it was really a loving husband and wife, and the family house was harmonious. Master Quan was born in the list, and his official promotion was also fast, and he rushed from the fourth rank to the third grade. In such a comparison, Song Sizong seems more and more pitiful, he works so hard, he is so motivated, and as a result, a letter from his mother made his efforts over the years go to waste.
is then sad and disappointed, he knows that his mother's life is not easy, and the days are getting harder and harder. He offered to leave the Ye family in order to take the Song family into Beijing, but the Song family treated him like this. He wrote countless times in his letter that his father and stepmother were very good to him, really good, and the family affairs were really carefully chosen, and the biological mother still thought that the stepmother was vicious.
At this time, he sent a war post to Su Moyu, more to prove himself to the world. This is also his consistent way of doing things, he is not a genius, he has no talent, he can only work harder than others, he wants to be very good, to be praised by everyone. Instead of being pitied, pitied, and despised.
He needs to prove himself, and at the same time, he thinks that his chess skills can fight against Su Moyu. Literary and martial arts, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, everything else is good, but chess skills are also because Su Mo is too famous.
Su Moyu had to fight, and refusing Song Sizong at this time was undoubtedly reaching out to give him a slap.
Although victory or defeat is very important, the level is more important. Losing a master is not a shameful thing, and winning a person who deliberately gives in will make Song Sizong feel even more ashamed.
Winning or losing was only a split second, but no one expected the result.
Su Jinqiu sometimes couldn't help but think that when Su Moyu was playing chess, he should have a little bit of a good idea of his physical condition. will persist like that until the end, but I am afraid that it is also because of a sadness and nowhere to vent.
The best friend likes his favorite wife, but Yu said he refused.
But...... Is it really nothing?
The Yu family is very smart and cautious, if it was just a simple show of love and refusal, Su Moyu would definitely not know about Lu Dao, let alone question the Yu family.
Su Moyu died, and Yu committed suicide that day.
At that time, everyone was praising the Yu family's Zhenlie, and Su Jinqiu knew very well that if there was no Fengchi, the Yu family would not leave her young and leave like this.
If it weren't for Feng Chi's business, Su Moyu would never have died because of five games of chess.
Whatever the reason, she finally decided to end herself with a rope.
"Girl......" Su Huaiyu walked into the house, and after calming down, she suddenly realized that she was too derelict in her duties, she was an elder, and it was her responsibility to take care of Su Jinqiu, and she should not let Su Jinqiu remind her when there was a sudden incident, and said: "It's hard to come out to play, the girl has to relax, don't think about it anymore." ”
Su Jinqiu came back to her senses, looked at Su Huaiyu, and then looked at Mu Qiniang behind her.
Mu Qiniang lowered her head, feeling guilty and feeling that things were unfolding incredible, she was just meeting an excellent man when she was visiting the temple, but she never imagined that there would be such a coincidence.
After a long time, I have seen Yuan Feng and Feng Chi, the dragons among people, and I have seen a lot of knowledge. But when she saw Song Sizong, her eyes were still bright, handsome and elegant, and she was as immobile as a mountain. In terms of aesthetics, she prefers Song Sizong's kind, stable and reliable, IKEA IKEA.
Su Jinqiu sighed softly and said, "It's hard to go out, so let's stay for a few more days." ”
She needs to take a good break and clear all the negative emotions out of the mess.
Su Moyu never blamed Song Sizong, and she shouldn't hate him for anything.
It's just, who should she blame...... -
Su Jinqiu simply lived in Nanshan for half a month, and Mu Qiniang was by her side every day, although there were no words to comfort, but she tried to find fun and make her as happy as possible.
The scenery of Nanshan is very beautiful, and the playmates are also very good, especially when Mu Qiniang tells her jokes every day and tries to make her laugh, when Su Jinqiu's sad mood disappears little by little, he never mentions Song Sizong when he leaves, but he can talk and laugh with Mu Qiniang.
After returning home to rectify, life was still going on, until a month later, Mrs. Mu specially sent someone to call her over, and the matter of the Mu family's girl's draft was completed, and the school-age girls in the family would go to Beijing for the draft in the spring next year, and asked Su Jinqiu what her plans were.
"I miss my grandfather and want to go back to Beijing." Su Jinqiu said.
Old Madam Mu nodded when she heard this, she also meant this, and said: "Brother Mo passed away, and my brother is at home alone, and for your own good, you should also wait by your side." You are in this mansion, I can't teach you anything, and it's good to go back to Beijing to accompany my brother as soon as possible. ”
It's not that she doesn't understand the meaning of Old Lady Su sending Su Jinqiu over, but where does Su Jinqiu have the meaning of learning well, the idea is very big, and there is no intention of obedience.
"I think the same way, it would be more appropriate to return to Beijing as soon as possible to accompany my grandfather." Su Jinqiu said that Old Lady Su didn't let her leave the Mu family, in fact, it was just for her own reputation. In order to have a good reputation when talking about family affairs, now that the family affairs have been agreed, and it is the Yu family that has been ordered, they can naturally return home.
Pan Yu said with a smile: "I haven't congratulated my sister yet, and I have already decided on a family affair." ”
She sincerely congratulated her, the Yu family can only be regarded as an ordinary family in the capital, and Yu Yongzhao is an unknown person who has never heard of it. Marrying into such a person's family also means that Su Jinqiu's life is like this.
Su Jinqiu smiled indifferently, looked at Pan Yu and said, "Is Miss Pan also going to Beijing for the draft?" ”
"yes, just with the sisters." Pan Yu said with a smile that although she was also a little confused about the road ahead, she knew the Tao in her heart, and Touxiu might be the best way out for her.
Su Jinqiu smiled indifferently and said, "Then I wish Miss Pan all the best in advance." ”
Under normal circumstances, the eldest daughter like Pan Yu does not need to be drafted, but Pan Yu is not facing a normal situation. The feud with her stepmother Wu is too big, Wu will definitely take revenge, she must plan for herself.
At the beginning, he risked losing his head to accept the gift of the East Palace, and later tossed it back, making the Wu family even more miserable, and at the same time, he won the sympathy of public opinion, and tried to get in touch with the prince's East Palace. The draft entered the palace and was read as a companion to the princess and the county lord, and luckily even the family affairs were solved. It's just that he didn't solve the family affairs, and he became friends with the master he served, and he always had a backer.
The road was chosen by herself, and at this time Pan Yu had no turning back.
Old Madam Mu sighed heavily and said, "It is also good to be able to enter the palace to accompany the nobles." ”
She didn't approve of Pan Yu going to the draft, but Pan Yu insisted on writing home on purpose, but Pan Qin only said casually. At the same time, Pan Qinxin also said that the Wu family has added a son and a daughter, so that after Pan Yu goes home, she must get along with her stepmother.
Pan Yu hugged Mrs. Mu and cried with the letter, at that time Pan Qin said that the Wu family would be punished into the nunnery, but the Wu family added two more in three years, if she couldn't fight for herself, it would definitely be a dead end after returning to Beijing.
Mu Qiniang is very ordinary about the draft, but she can go to Beijing for a visit, especially Su Jinqiu is also going home, she wants to go to Beijing to have a look, so she took the initiative to say: "Old lady, will I go too?" ”
"Go for both." Old Lady Mu replied dispensably.
Mu Qiniang's draft must be no play, for the princess to read as a companion, the most basic thing is to be able to write, Mu Qiniang can recognize the words, but the writing is too ugly. Last time, she was punished for copying women's rings, and there were a lot of typos. The Mu family doesn't attach much importance to women's education, but Mu Qiniang is still a little embarrassed when she writes like that.
The school-age girls in the family have all gone, and it is not too much to add a Mu Qiniang by the way. And in terms of beauty, she is the crown of the family, and the beauty of her daughter's family always takes a big advantage, and if she can find a good family, it is not only the creation of Mu Qiniang, but also the creation of the Mu family.
"Thank you, old lady." Mu Qiniang said happily.
Mu Liuniang looked at her like this, but there was a little worry between her eyebrows, and said with a smile: "Do you think you are going to Beijing to play, the little sisters are going to go, but we are aunts, and there will definitely be no time for you to play when the time comes." ”
There are really a lot of school-age girls in the Mu family, two concubines in two rooms, Ba Niang and Jiu Niang. There are also two concubines in the big grandmother's room, two concubines. Counting Pan Yu, a group of nine people participated in the draft, which is indeed a large army.
Su Jinqiu knew that the Mu family's army would live in the Su family when they went to Beijing, and the Mu family had no relatives or friends in the capital, although there was Pan Qin, a son-in-law, but it was just ...... Thinking about it, he asked: "I don't know who will follow Lu Dao on this trip to Beijing?" ”
"The old lady has been away from Beijing for many years and wants to go to Beijing to have a look." Mrs. Mu said with a smile, the most important thing is to find the old marquis of the Dingcheng Marquis Mansion, after the filial piety of the eldest princess of Hanshan, the old lady is no longer in Dingcheng, and took the family to the capital to the Horse Mansion, and of course followed her son. He also said: "The eldest lord and the eldest lady must go, and then the fourth grandmother behaves properly, and it is most suitable for her to take the girls." ”
According to her meaning, Grandma Mu Si was born in a merchant, so there was no need to follow. But she couldn't stand the family and couldn't pick out other people, Mu Liuniang kept saying that she wanted the fourth sister-in-law to accompany her, and even Pan Yu felt that it was more appropriate for the fourth grandmother to follow, and she could only agree on it in the end.
Speaking of this, Mrs. Mu thought about it, looked at Su Jinqiu and said, "We won't leave until the beginning of spring next year, and it's still early." The old lady asked someone to find an old lady from the palace from the capital to teach the girls the rules, do you want to learn together? ”
Su Jinqiu knew that Mrs. Mu just asked, lest after the lesson arrived, she would look bad when she was left alone. smiled and said, "Since I don't participate in the draft, I won't delay my sisters." ”
Old Lady Mu nodded with satisfaction.
Another New Year passed, Su Jinqiu was twelve years old, and after the first month, Biyunxuan began to rectify. In three years, I only took away the ones that looked pleasing to the eye, and this is how I still sorted out two big cars.
The auspicious day has been set, and he will leave for Beijing on February 26.
