370. The Repentance of the Huang Family
In the summer of the twenty-ninth year of Jiahe, the emperor appointed the four princes as the monarchs, and the subjects celebrated together.
Changping, Su Yuan is in a mess, the next people are busy running, all kinds of salutes are packed and moved, as if the family is moving, yes, this is the family moving the capital.
The emperor appointed the fourth prince as the crown prince, and at the same time summoned Ning Guang, who had been 'recuperating' for five years, to return to Beijing to take up his post, so he had to move his family to Beijing.
The subordinates were busy packing and saluting, in the flower hall of Su Garden, Su Liu and others were leisurely eating tea and talking, and the children were sitting on the snow-white carpet and playing. "It's also a shame that our government has shipped some shipments to Beijing early, otherwise, this is really busy." Chen said with a smile.
The prefect of Song returned to Beijing as the head of the household department as early as two years after his term expired, so the Song family had already moved back to Shangjing, and because most of the Song family's business was in Gyeongju, Song Fei and Cao Mingzhu stayed for the time being, and in the past two years, they have slowly moved the focus of business to Shangjing and its surroundings. This trip back to Beijing, they also went back together.
And Chen Ye won the champion in twenty-seven years, and temporarily entered the Hanlin Academy in Beijing, Su Xiao, as his wife, naturally married a chicken with a chicken, and also went to Beijing early.
Now, Su Liu and they are also leaving, all these familiar relatives are in Beijing, the Chen family is naturally reluctant, Cao Kui simply moved his family to Shangjing, and the education in Shangjing is good, and Cao Xiaobao's future is relatively stronger than a small place like Changping. "The house over there is all set up, right?" Su Liu smiled: "There are people, no matter how busy they are, they can't be busy." "It's easy to say, it's a huge mansion, what to take away, what to leave behind, that's also a headache." Chen sighed, although he wants to move to Beijing to live, but in the end, Cao Mansion will not sell it, and it will be left as an ancestral home. "I'm really leaving, but I'm a little reluctant." Chen sighed again.
She has lived for decades, and she has been to Gyeongju even if she has gone far away, and she has never been to any farther place. "Mother, if you want to, if you have time, ask your father to accompany you back for a walk, this is also a matter of the journey." Su Liu said: "It's not like I can't come back for a lifetime!" "That's right, when I'm old in the future, I'm afraid I'll come back here to retire." Chen smiled and glanced at Xiaobao who was playing on the carpet and said, "It's just that it's difficult for Xiaobao, and you have to run hard to worship your ancestors or something." ”
Su Liu followed her gaze, a few little beans sat together and played, not to mention how cheerful they were, so they smiled and said: "It's better to read ten thousand books than to walk thousands of miles, and it's better to run more." "Mother, brother, he's cheating." The three-year-old Ning Er suddenly ran over and complained with a red and glamorous mouth. "No, this is a soldier who is not tired of cheating." Four-year-old Ning Xiaochi crossed his waist and said loudly: "That's what is said in the art of war. ”
They are playing the game of officers and soldiers catching thieves, obviously, Ning Xiaochi is an official, and Xiao Ning is a thief. "You've learned not to get tired of cheating? What else? Su Liu raised his eyebrows and asked. There are also three caves of cunning rabbits, Ming Xiu plank road, and secretly crossing Chen Cang. Ning Xiaochi said loudly.
Su Liu chuckled and said, "Dare to love your idiom is used to play games like this?" ”
Ning Xiaochi scratched his head, pursed his lips and thought for a while, and said, "Apply what you have learned." ”
Su Liu smiled, looked at the unwilling Ning Xiaoer and said: "Since my brother is not tired of cheating, you can also cultivate the plank road and secretly cross Chen Cang, the three caves of the cunning rabbit!" ”
Ning Xiaoer's eyes lit up and he nodded again and again, but Ning Xiaochi wrinkled a beautiful little face.
A few of the little ones went together to play together, and Chen looked at them dotingly and said, "Brother Chi has also grown a lot." ”
Ning Xiaochi was enlightened at the age of three, Su Liu always felt that it was too early, but helplessly Ning Guang said that he was the eldest son and grandson, and he had to work harder than his younger siblings below, and the so-called loss of anything could not be lost at the starting line, so Su Liu had to listen.
And the fact, Ning Xiaochi is talented and intelligent, and he does learn well in his schoolwork, which Su Liu is still pleased with, after all, it will be easier for him to learn.
At this time, the next person came to report that Su Gongzi from Daao Village was here.
said that it was Su Gongzi, in fact, it meant Su Yindan, now Su Yindan is fourteen years old, and he has been an apprentice under a shop in Su Liu all these years, and he has done a decent job, he will come to see Yaya as long as he is free, so everyone calls him Su Gongzi.
This time he was going to move to Beijing, Su Yindan should have come to see Yaya, so Su Liu asked people to invite him in.
Hearing that her brother was coming, Yaya stood beside Chen obediently, waiting quietly, in the past few years, she has been treated and taken medicine, although Yaya's brain is not bright, but it is not as stupid as when she was a child, but her intelligence can't be improved.
Su Yindan soon came with the next person, and to Su Liu's surprise, there was an old woman behind him, who was it if it wasn't the Huang family?
Since bringing Yaya back, Su Liu has never seen the Huang family again, when Ning Xiaochi was one and a half years old, the old man Su also passed away, and the Huang family also sent someone to report the funeral at that time, thinking that Su Liu and they were granddaughters, and they also asked them to go back to send a ride, but Su Liu did not go, only let the next person send the gold. Now that I haven't seen you for a few years, why has the Huang family become like this?
Huang wore a gray shirt with patches, his gray hair was tied into a low bun, and there was no decoration on his head, except for two silver hoop earrings on his ears.
She leaned her back slightly, pinched the corners of her clothes with both hands, and she didn't know if it was panic or something else, she lowered her head slightly, looking a little cramped and uneasy. "Big sister, aunt." Su Yindan stepped forward and saluted Su Liu and the others respectfully.
When he was a child, when Chen was still Su Changsheng's wife, Su Yindan also called his eldest sister, and now Su Liu is still his eldest sister, but Chen has remarried, and it doesn't seem appropriate to call him eldest mother again, so he changed his name to aunt. "Silver Egg is here, sit down, girl, give your brother a gift." Chen glanced gently at you Yaya, who was standing beside him with her hair combed.
The girl snorted, stepped forward slowly, showed an innocent smile, and called sweetly: "Brother." ”
Su Yindan sighed and smiled.
Yaya's eyes looked behind him over his shoulder, Huang just raised his head, Yaya looked fixedly, suddenly her face changed slightly, she exclaimed, and ran quickly towards Chen with a frightened face. "Niangniang, she beats, beats Yaya."
Chen pulled her in distress and hugged her in his arms, patted her back and said, "Yaya, no one here dares to beat Yaya, good." ”
Yaya arched into her arms like a little beast, perhaps it was Chen's gentle voice that made her slowly calm down, and secretly showed one eye to peek at Huang.
Huang was also stunned, I haven't seen it for many years, this child who wears silk and satin and gold and silver jewelry like a noble lady is the fool back then? Her granddaughter?
Looking at Su Liu and Chen's again, Huang's cloudy eyes shrunk again, his eyes changed a few times, the two women sitting on it, the older one was wearing a purple and red dress, a golden hairpin plug, and both hands were wearing green jade bracelets, showing grace and luxury, who is not Chen?
And the young one, Huang is afraid that he will recognize him until he dies, wearing a Hunan long skirt, with high temples, swaying steps, and a noble atmosphere, who is Su Liu who is not cursing in her mouth every day?
Seeing Su Liu's eyes glancing over, Huang was startled, and lowered his head again. "Silver Egg, what's going on?" Su Liu took a shallow sip of tea, and looked at Huang's silver egg that asked.
Su Yindan was a little embarrassed, now that he is older and has seen more in the shop, where can he not hear what Su Liu meant?
Glancing at the Huang family on his side, Su Yindan was a little helpless, after so many years, why can't Grandma rest? I have to make a fuss.
Su Yindan sighed in his heart and said with a smile: "I heard that you are going to move to Beijing, big sister, I just wanted to come and see Yaya, otherwise I don't know when I will be able to see you." After a pause, he said again: "Grandma hasn't seen Yaya and eldest sister for many years, and when I heard that I was coming, I thought I would come and take a look!" ”
Huang raised his head again and looked at Su Liu with some sneer, but he couldn't hold back a word, so he had to look at Yaya, and said enthusiastically: "Yes, Yaya, I'm Grandma, come here and let Grandma see, Grandma Kerr misses you, come here." ”
Seeing Huang's moving footsteps, Yaya beckoned again, screamed softly, and kept arching her head into Chen's arms: "Don't, don't." ”
Huang was embarrassed, and his face darkened a little.
Chen and Su Liu glanced at each other, and the former said to the mother-in-law standing aside: "Mama Rao, the fourth lady should also take medicine, you take her down to eat, if the candied fruit she is used to eating is gone, go back to Cui Niangzi to get some." ”
Mama Rao bowed her knees and immediately stepped forward to take the maid down.
Huang pursed his lips when he saw this, his eyelids shrugged down, and his appearance became more and more mean. "Yaya hasn't stopped taking medicine all these years, and she also recognizes life, don't be surprised by Yaya's milk." Chen smiled again this time: "Sit down, I haven't seen you for some years, how are you old?" ”
Huang didn't expect that Chen would take the initiative to talk to her, let alone Chen's tone would be so peaceful, but in peace, but with a thousand kinds of alienation, look at her carefully, see the corners of her mouth smiling, her skin is white and round, and she looks like a person in her early thirties, who is already the age of being a grandmother?
She didn't know that the more peaceful and kind this person was, the younger his face would be, plus maintenance, and many good supplements to raise, and his children and grandchildren would enjoy wealth and nobility, so could he not be young?
If the Chan family will be haunted by the past? In fact, this person can't get along with himself, so he will always be obsessed with the past, Chen now has both children and daughters, her husband is favored, and he is prosperous and rich, how can he always be entangled in the past?
Therefore, for her, the Huang family is just an ordinary old lady who is not a stranger, and to talk about a closer relationship, that is, her former mother-in-law, this greeting is also a matter of personal cultivation.
It's a pity that Huang wouldn't have thought of this, he would only think that Chen was playing to show off, so he said in a weird way: "Half a foot has stepped into the coffin, what's so good?" You can't die left and right. ”
Chen Shi paused, smiled at the corner of his mouth, coughed lightly, picked up a handkerchief and wiped it lightly on the wing of his nose, and was silent.
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet, and Su Yindan frowned and shouted softly: "Grandma! ”
Huang pursed his lips, turned his head, and after a while, asked again: "I heard that you are going to live in Beijing?" Not coming back in the future? ”
Seeing that Su Liu bowed his head and was silent, Chen sighed slightly in his heart, and said softly: "The husbands and daughters-in-law that their sisters married are both in Beijing, and I am afraid that they will not come back for a long time this time." ”
"How's that going to work?" Huang was a little anxious when he heard this, and when he saw Su Liu looking over, he hurriedly changed his words: "Then won't I be able to see Yaya?" ”
Su Liu lowered her eyes, put down the teacup and said, "I didn't know that the old lady missed Yaya so much, and after so many years, she could bear not to see her." ”
Huang was choked by her and couldn't get off the stage, so he stabbed: "You don't want to come to see her, aren't you still guarding against thieves?" ”
"Grandma!" Su Yindan's face was hot, and she hurriedly said to Su Liu: "Big sister, we have also met Yaya, so we will go back with Grandma." Later, when I have the money, I will visit you in Beijing. ”
Su Liu didn't want Su Yindan to be ugly, so he said: "Go ahead, do a good job, learn more and watch more, you do a good job, I can naturally see it, I can't treat you badly." ”
Su Yindan responded with a smile, and helped Huang to leave.
"I just came, my ass is not hot, what are you in a hurry?" Huang pushed him away, looked at Su Liu and said: "Yindan, call you eldest sister, now our family is dead, scattered, he is also your only brother now, since he is working in your shop, let him be a shopkeeper, what's the use of being a primary school apprentice?" It's not a good idea. ”
As soon as she said this, Su Yindan's face changed, and she hurriedly looked at Su Liu, wanting to explain, but it was too late.
"Presumptuous!" Su Liu slapped the table, the teacup on the table trembled a few times, she glared at Huang angrily, and scolded: "What is the only brother, my mother is my only brother." I will recognize him as Silver Egg, he is my brother, if I don't recognize him, he is nothing. What are you to curse my brother? ”
Huang was frightened and froze in place, unable to come back to his senses for a long time.
"Big sister, don't worry, grandma is unintentional." Su Yindan hurriedly apologized with a shy face.
"Silver Egg, you are Yaya's own brother, I welcome you to come to see her, but you also have to be measured, don't dare to say anything about cats and dogs." Su Liu said sharply.
"Big sister, I won't be next time, let's go back." Su Yindan dragged Huang vigorously and said, "Grandma, let's go." ”
Huang came to his senses, saw Su Yindan dragging her, struggled a few times, and said: "Even if I forgot that you still have a younger brother, but I'm not wrong, Yindan is also your younger brother, and he is almost at the age of saying that he is married, and he is still worried about finding a good girl to marry?" You are also powerful, what is there to do for him as a shopkeeper? ”
Su Liu pursed his lips and looked at Su Yindan: "Yindan, you think so too?" ”
Su Yindan's face turned white, and he shook his head vigorously and said, "Big sister, I don't dare, I don't have the ability to be a shopkeeper." ”
"Do you hear that?" Su Liu looked at Huang coldly and said, "He wears as big a hat as he has a head, how long has he been in the shop?" How many people do you know? How much insight? I'm just giving him a shopkeeper, can he take care of it? If you are so ambitious, you will only fall more painfully. Don't you know that the road has to be taken step by step, and it's easy to pull the egg when the step is big? ”
Huang was so blushing that he wanted to say something, but Su Yindan was annoyed: "Grandma, do you still want to go back and live with your second uncle?" If this is the case again, you can go and live with your second uncle. ”
Huang's body stiffened, his eyes were a little red, he glanced at Su Liu and them unwillingly, and muttered: "I'm not here for your good, do you still want to marry a daughter-in-law?" ”
"Big sister is good enough for me, if I have the ability, after a long time, I will definitely be able to be the shopkeeper. 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 his fists, shrugged his head, and let Su Yindan pull him out without saying a word.
"What's going on? The old lady doesn't live with the second child now? When they left, Chen finally calmed down and asked suspiciously.
Su Liu said lightly: "I heard that Luo gave birth to a son, and Su Fusheng protected him, and his temperament has become bigger and bigger in the past two years. And then there is the condition I mentioned before, didn't I go later, the two of them complained about her in their hearts, they didn't want to see her, and they came to bully her, and then she lived with Yindan. ”
When Chen heard this, he sighed: "It's really a sin." I think she has been majestic all her life, and she can't end up like this when she is old, and so does the second child, she really hurts him in vain. ”
"I said a long time ago that she can't live if she does her own sin, she is self-inflicted, and she can't complain about others." Su Liu snorted and said, "Looking at it now, the silver egg can calm her a little, and she can still listen to his words." Thinking about it, she has nothing else to rely on except Silver Egg. ”
The son is not waiting to be seen, Yindan, the grandson, is the last straw of the Huang family, she can only hold on to it firmly, otherwise, no one will know if she is really dead at her age.
And the Huang family, who walked out of Su Liu's house, also grabbed his grandson's hand tightly, wiped his tears and said one by one: "Silver eggs, you don't have to learn those unfilial ones, grandma can only rely on you, if you ignore grandma, grandma will only have to wipe her neck!" ”
Su Yindan looked at her old appearance, sighed long, and said: "The grandson will raise you to the end, it's just grandma, you shouldn't say it just now, you can rest assured in the future don't think about anything else, if you have a grandchild to eat, you can't do without you." ”
Huang opened his mouth, lowered his head dejectedly, and said quietly: "Grandma listens to you." Then he muttered to himself, "If not, what else?" ”
Does Huang regret it? Naturally, she regrets it, and in such a field today, many things have her own shadow, how can she not regret it? The son who has always loved her is also in the way of her in the end, how can she not be sad? In her life, she was a failure.
Many years later, until the Huang family grew old, she was also supported by the silver egg to the end, and she never saw Su Liu and them again, and before she died, she held the hand of the silver egg and kept reading: "Silver egg, grandma regrets it in my heart, I regret it!" ”
The pace of the relatives is slow, and the outside is not over yet, and it will be sent on Sunday at the latest~
