Chapter 365: The Old Capital (1)
The time Chu Weilin returned to the old capital before, it was still a cold spring, but this time, it was in the sunny spring.
There are many waterways in the old capital, the willows on the shore are still clinging, the water surface is full of catkins and petals, and the faint fragrance of flowers in the air is refreshing.
Wei is the first time to return to the old capital, and such a view falls on the eyes, which is really gratifying.
It's just that this return to his hometown is in the name of the ancestors' fallen leaves and returning to their roots, and no one can show a happy smile on their faces.
In the old capital of Chang's family, there are still some empty courtyards, but the two families are estranged, and Chang Henghan doesn't want to go back to live for a long time.
The Chang family still has assets in the old capital, and although the yard is small, it has been cleaned up, and it can be settled.
Tu Shi carefully discussed with Chang Hengmiao, now that they are separated after all, they can no longer make do with the long house, and they will not find a good house for a while, and when they find a place that suits their hearts, they will just move.
Not only the second room, but also the third room.
As for the fourth room, Chu Weilin vaguely tasted some flavors, and the relationship between the Liu family and Chang Hengyi became extremely tense.
Since the Liu family had the intention of avenging Liu Silu, it was impossible for her and Chang Hengyi to be a loving couple, but they were wearing a mask to make a false promise, and the Liu family must have hated Chang Hengyi in their hearts.
Even if the Liu family and the ancestor reached a deal, her mentality towards Chang Hengyi would not change, but Chang Hengyi never thought about it carefully.
Now, there are many things in front of him, Chang Hengyi will definitely be able to detect the slightest mistake after realizing it, and he is afraid that he will know it in his heart. The things between him and Liu Silu had already been known to the Liu family, but he didn't dare to ask the Liu family for verification, so he could only live with each other.
The Liu family has become an embarrassing person, and she can't advance or retreat, seeing that Tu and Chu Lunxin are making their own plans, she has nowhere to disperse her sullen stomach, and she comes by boat all the way, and she has a straight face every day.
The group moved into the courtyard that had been cleaned up in advance, and Chang Henghan handed a post to the ancestral house.
Now that you're in the old capital, there's no reason not to visit.
The boat arrived at the ancestral home. There were already people waiting to greet them on the dock.
Chu Weilin has been here once. and the seventh grandmother Yun are also acquaintances, and the two got together and said a few words.
The previous time they were here, Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun had already felt the estrangement of the relationship between the Chang family in the two places, this time. The mighty came. This feeling is becoming more and more pronounced. After inviting Ann to kowtow almost everywhere, he went home, and he didn't even prepare a dust washing banquet.
Xu was puzzled. asked Chu Weilin in a low voice: "Even if it's a distant relative, it's not like this, right?" Where is it like we are going back to our hometown, but it seems like we are rushing to tie up with others, and people still don't look down on them. ”
Chu Weilin smiled a little embarrassed, and said, "The Yun family told me that it was because we were still in the filial piety period, so it was not good to be lively. ”
Xu rolled his eyes.
Chu Weilin blinked, she knew that this was a prevarication.
But again, shirk, and then unwilling to move, the etiquette rules that should be observed are still observed.
In the new courtyard, the spirit card of the old ancestor was placed, and the ancestral house also allowed the younger generations to come to the house to kowtow to incense, but it was just that.
Tu is not a person who drags mud and water, and there is no shortage of silver in the second room, so he soon took a fancy to a house, bought it neatly and began to clean it up.
Chu Weilin knows that it is impossible to open a mansion alone in the past few years, and she must be with her parents-in-law, but the way she and Tu get along is there, as long as they don't involve each other's interests, this day is not a blockage.
Taking advantage of the good sun, Chu Weilin and his wife took their two sons to Chu Mansion.
It was still Chu Weiyan and his wife waiting for them at the dock, they hadn't seen each other for two years, and they were a little emotional about each other.
Mrs. Haoqi hugged Chu Weilin and said with red eyes: "It's okay to come back, come and see me more when you have time." ”
Chu Weilin responded with a smile, and said something about Chu Weiwan, and Mrs. Haoqi sighed for a long time.
The Chu family treated them kindly, and when they left, Chu Weilin and Chang Yuyun said: "It's really completely different from the ancestral house in Changfu." ”
Chang Yuyun responded: "At this point, we knew it before." ”
"At that time, we were just passing by, and we didn't think about it in detail, but now we are going to live for a long time, do we want to figure it out?" Chu Weilin asked in a low voice.
Chang Yuyun frowned and muttered, "There's no need to be deliberate." Although we live in the same city, our uncle and father don't move, so how can we have anything to do with the ancestral house? ”
The words were so true, Chu Weilin nodded, and didn't mention it again.
The three-bedroom and four-bedroom houses have been found one after another, and they have moved out.
Everything is on track in the long room, and the Lu family brings up the old things again, and wants to go to the Yusu Nunnery to have a look.
Everyone knew that they couldn't persuade them, so they didn't want to bother with any more words, only one Sister Lan, who was in the dark, heard her mother's thoughts out of nowhere, and hid in the garden and cried.
Xu happened to pass by, heard the cry, and couldn't help but look for it, but saw Sister Lan hiding behind a tree and crying, she hurriedly stepped forward to pick it up, and said, "Where is the nurse?" ”
Sister Lan bit her lip and didn't speak.
Seeing that Sister Lan refused to speak, Xu asked his subordinates to look around.
I didn't look for long, and I saw that the nurse Wei's mother came in a hurry.
Xu glared at her: "How can you let your sister be here alone?" ”
Mother Wei lowered her head and said, "My sister said that she was thirsty, so the slave went back to fetch water." ”
Xu opened his mouth, and was about to ask about the whereabouts of the maids who were waiting for his sister, and immediately wanted to turn around, this time he returned to the old capital and dismissed a lot of people.
"Even if my sister is thirsty, she shouldn't be left alone in the garden." Xu said in a deep voice.
Wei's mother knew that she was wrong, and she lowered her head and said yes.
Seeing this, Xu stopped staring at Mother Wei, and coaxed Sister Lan in a low voice: "Sister don't cry, girl's family, tears are all golden beans, but they can't fall." ”
Sister Lan buried her little head in Xu's neck and muttered: "It's not Jin Doudou, my mother often cries, and the least rare thing is tears." ”
Xu gently patted Sister Lan's back and couldn't help but pause.
The experience of being young has a great impact on children.
Xu knows that for more than a year, Lu has stopped crying, she is completely dead, how can there be joy and sorrow? Sister Lan often said that it must have meant that when the accident just happened, Sister Lan at that time was half a year old, and many things should not be remembered clearly, but now, Sister Lan has not forgotten it.
Xu said astringently: "Sister Lan, your mother always stops crying now." ”
Sister Lan answered in a muffled voice, half a sound, and suddenly said, "Auntie, are you okay with my mother?" ”
Xu was stunned, and Wei's mother also widened her eyes in surprise.
Sister Lan didn't notice anything wrong, and continued: "I know, my mother doesn't want me anymore, she is leaving home, and I will be a motherless child in the future." Everyone says that my aunt is kind and cares for the girl, my sister was not born to my aunt, my aunt spoiled her and held her, I was not born by my aunt, my aunt became my mother, and she could spoil me and hold me. ”
When the childish voice of the young child said such words, Xu Shi did not respond for a long time, and when she came back to her senses, she found that she was in tears.
Wei's mother turned her back, covered her face and cried silently.
Xu Shi hugged Sister Lan tightly, stroked her back one by one, and said in a dumb voice: "Your mother has her own troubles, she definitely doesn't want you." Sister Lan is not afraid, there is an aunt here, and the aunt loves you. ”
If she persuaded her, Xu couldn't say it, she didn't know how to open her mouth to make Sister Lan understand, first, Sister Lan was still young, so small that she couldn't understand what Chang Yuye and Lu's problem was, and second, Xu himself couldn't tell whether Lu insisted on becoming a monk or not, whether it was abandoning Sister Lan.
Xu coaxed Sister Lan for a while, carried her back to her own room, wiped her face, and accompanied her for a long time, so that Wei's mother took Sister Lan back.
Sister Lan looked at Sister Ling, reluctantly, only took a few steps, took out her little hand from Wei's mother's hand, and ran back to Xu's: "Auntie, can I come often?" ”
Xu Shi held Sister Lan's face, looked into her eyes and nodded, and said, "When you want to come, let Mother Wei bring you here, even in the middle of the night." ”
"Really?" Sister Lan asked, and when she saw Xu's head, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xu Shi saw it in his eyes, and carefully told Wei's mother: "If my sister wants to come, you can let her come, and you don't have to worry about any rules and regulations." ”
Mother Wei thanked her and led Sister Lan away.
Xu's mother sent them out, and when she came back, she said to Xu: "Sister Lan is introverted, but she is willing to be close to grandma." ”
Xu Shi thought for a while, and said, "Go down and find out, which one said in front of Sister Lan that the sister-in-law didn't want her, and chewed her mouth indiscriminately!" Sister Lan doesn't understand that, someone must have chewed on the root of her tongue. Wei's mother is not that kind of person, figured out back and forth with me. ”
Seeing Xu's serious face, the mother knew that she was not just talking, so she hurriedly responded.
Xu raised her hand and rubbed her forehead, she likes children, not to mention Brother Sheng, she also paid her true feelings for Sister Ling, and now when she sees Sister Lan'er's appearance, she feels more and more distressed, and she can't help complaining about Lu's in her heart.
When Chu Weilin came over, Xu closed the door and complained to her: "It's not that I want to talk about my sister-in-law's rights and wrongs behind my back, I really feel sorry for Sister Lan." Which girl is not held in the palm of her hand? Sister Lan ...... I haven't seen her laugh since the incident. ”
Xu Shi talked about the conversation between Sister Lan and her that day, and she was about to cry when she was talking, Chu Weilin was sad when she heard it, and she couldn't help shaking her head.
She remembered that in the past, when the Jiang family died, she was Sister Lan's current age, and after losing her mother, life was different overnight, even if she was favored by her father, she would still often recall the Jiang family, and in the first year or two, when she closed her eyes, she was Jiang's voice and smile.
But she is different from Sister Lan, Jiang's departure is helpless, but Lu's insistence on leaving, which is a bigger blow to Sister Lan. (To be continued.) )
