Chapter 384: Visitation
Dear friends, the first watch is coming, and the second watch is about 5-6 o'clock.
******************
Su Shanyun returned to the island city a few days ago.
She brought fifteen entourages according to Yan Jinxuan's instructions, and brought Mama Song and the kitten 'Duoduo'.
When she arrived at the door, Zhang Ying came up with a smile and held her hand and said, "You look like a wife now." ”
Su Shanyun blushed and smiled.
Thinking that this was all because of Yan Jinxuan's changes, my heart was suddenly full of happiness.
Su Shanyun's expression was seen by Zhang Ying, so she leaned close to Su Shanyun's ear and asked with a smile: "Does it feel good to be with the second master?" ”
Yan Jinxuan's physique is so good, and he is such a person who understands amorous feelings, no wonder Zhang Ying thinks so.
Su Shanyun's face suddenly turned red to the base of her neck.
The blushing and heart-pounding moments with Yan Jinxuan in the past all came to mind, and she whispered, "Hmm." ”
In Su Shanyun's view, his goodness is irreplaceable.
Zhang Ying smiled and said, "Sure enough, it's a blessing to be married to such a man!" ”
Su Shanyun nodded, thinking: Only stepmother and Feng dare to talk to her about such a private/private topic.
Zhang Ying pulled Su Shanyun and said as she walked: "The old lady took Su Jin and Su Yong to the park on West Street, and it is estimated that it will take a quarter of an hour to come back." ”
Since Su Shanyun had written to them earlier that they didn't have to go to the dock to pick them up, she didn't know that Su Shanyun would arrive so early this time. She thought she wouldn't be there until almost noon.
"It's fine." Su Shanyun said busily.
Zhang Ying squatted down again and picked up Duoduo to look at it, and asked, "This is the kitten you said in your letter?" ”
"Uh-huh, it's called Duoduo." Su Shanyun said softly.
"Lord Yan is so considerate!"
Su Shanyun nodded.
I suddenly missed Yan Jinxuan in my heart.
I don't know how he's doing over there now, but it's definitely hard work.
She felt a little more relieved at the thought that he might have received her package and would sleep in the nightgown she had made for him every night.
After sitting down in the living room, Zhang Ying said to her: "Your cousin is sick, very sick, and her personality has become very strange. ”
Su Shanyun was shocked, and hurriedly put down the tea in his mouth and asked, "What is the disease?" ”
"I heard that there was a problem with the kidneys, and now I often have poor urination, fever, swollen joints, red face, and low mood." Zhang Ying said distressedly.
"So serious!" Su Shanyun couldn't help but gasp. Then he asked, "Who will take care of her now?" ”
"Su Lin. However, Su Lin has to go to the government during the day, so he is taken care of by the maids and mothers-in-law during the day. ”
Su Lin is the second son of the Guo family, who just came out of school this year, and is currently serving as the chief secretary of the county in the county office.
"Brother Qi and sister-in-law didn't come back to take a look?" Su Shanyun asked again.
Su Qi is the eldest son of the Guo family. He is currently working in Sichuan. Four years ago, I bought a house there and married a wife.
"Maybe the affairs of the yamen are busy. I saw the medicinal herbs mailed back, but no one came back. Zhang Ying said.
"Oh, in fact, Aunt Tang can consider going to live with Uncle Tang in the capital." Su Shanyun said.
"But your cousin has been reluctant to let her come and live. said that she was verbose and stingy. ”
"I've been a husband and wife for more than 20 years." Su Shanyun sighed.
Su Shanyun only feels pitiful for Guo now - her husband went to work in the capital when she was very young, and she raised her three children alone, and now that the three children are older, her husband is still unwilling to let her stay by her side.
"I'll go over and see her after lunch." Su Shanyun said.
"Uh-huh." Zhang Ying nodded.
As soon as she looked up, Zhang Ying saw that Mrs. Xiao took Su Jin and Su Yong into the Weeping Flower Gate, and hurriedly said, "The old lady and the children are back." ”
Su Shanyun also came to the spirit, and immediately went out with Zhang Ying to pick it up.
Old Madam Xiao and Su Shanyun shook hands and had a long chat.
Soon it was noon.
After lunch, Su Shanyun took the gifts that had been prepared and went to the Guo family in Wutong Lane.
Guo's personal mother-in-law was overjoyed when she saw that Su Shanyun was coming, and hurriedly trotted to tell Guo.
Guo Shi was lying on the bed resting because of his dizziness, and now he couldn't help but feel a little energetic when he heard the mother-in-law's words, and hurriedly asked the mother-in-law to help her up.
Here, Guo Shi had just sat up from the bed, and Su Shanyun had already entered the room.
Su Shanyun hurriedly stretched out her hand and motioned for her to lie down.
Guo Shi obediently lay down.
"When did you get to Island City?" Guo asked her.
"I arrived in the morning, and I heard from my stepmother and grandmother that you were sick, so I came to take a look." Su Shanyun said with concern as she sat down beside Guo's bed.
"Thank you, you really have a heart!" Guo said with a smile.
Su Shanyun found that Guo's whole person was thinner than the last time she saw her, and her mental state was not very good, so she asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?" ”
"Now it's just dizziness, sometimes I have a fever, in short, it's not good." Guo shook his head and said.
It seems to be very frustrating.
Su Shanyun suddenly felt an indescribable sadness, and asked softly: "Have you ever thought about going to the capital to live with your uncle?" ”
The husband and wife are old companions, and it is not very good to live separately.
"I've mentioned it no less than 10 times in years, and he always says to wait a few more years." Guo said with a sigh.
Su Shanyun knew that although Uncle Tang had been an official in the capital for decades, he had not bought a house in the capital, so he asked: "Does he think it is not convenient to have his own house there?" ”
But then he felt that this was not a fundamental problem, because as an uncle of Tang's uncle, Wupin Jingguan, even if he didn't buy a house, the imperial court would arrange a good place for him to live.
"Of course, it's not because of the house, but because of his personality, he loves freedom, for fear of being shackled, and the rest of the money he receives every month is used to buy books, travel, and banquets except for sending a specific part to the family, so until now our family has not saved any money." Kwok said.
That's why she's always reluctant to spend money.
"When I got sick, my family's expenses immediately increased, and the money he sent back every month was just enough, and there was nothing left, so I don't know how much panic I have now."
"Did you tell your cousin about this?"
"Of course he has, but he won't change his way of life." Guo said, sighing heavily.
"Why don't you write to him and ask him to send a little more money back next month?"
"It's useless to ask him to send more, he can't come up with more money."
"Will it? He has reached the fifth rank. ”
"He's a great entertainer, and I don't know what kind of friends he's made."
Su Shanyun had no choice but to change the topic and ask: "Brother Qi and Brother Lin have already come out to work, they should also pay you some money from time to time, right?" ”
"Occasionally give a little, but not much. One of them has to support his family, and the other has just started working. ”
Su Shanyun didn't say anything more.
Seeing the sun outside, Guo said, "Let's go to the courtyard to bask in the sun, shall we?" ”
Su Shanyun also had this intention, and hurriedly helped Guo get out of bed.
Touching Guo's skinny arm, Su Shanyun's eyes suddenly became hot.
The woman who was usually energetic and gorgeously dressed suddenly became like this, which Su Shanyun did not expect.
When they sat down on a bench in the courtyard, Kwok said, "It's strange that the question of death that I have been thinking about the most this year has never been thought about before." (To be continued.) )
