Chapter 77: Return to Beijing
Alain's sadness Yang Molan can clearly feel it, and she can feel the reluctance in her son's eyes, but many things, if there is no opposition at the beginning, the pain caused in the future will become bigger and bigger.
Is this true? Alan felt that he had a nightmare, and looked up at Xu Zhi'an, Xu Zhi'an did not look at Alain, but looked into the distance, only in this way can his eyes not reveal his mood!
"Brother, mother, how did it become like this?" Xu Zhijiao thought it was too incredible, and opened her mouth to ask her mother, Yang Molan drank her: "Jiao'er, you stop talking." After speaking, Yang Molan said to Alain: "I'm sorry, Miss Alain." Men and women must be guarded against! ”
This is an eviction order, and from now on, I will no longer be able to enter and leave the Xu family, and I will not be able to see my sweetheart? Alan looked at his sweetheart and wanted to know the different results, but Xu Zhian still looked into the distance and didn't look at himself.
That's true, Alain felt that the sky was falling apart, and turned around and ran out, the silver ornaments on his body still clanging together, but it didn't sound so cheerful at this moment, with some depression.
"Mother, brother, how can you say that, do this? You obviously know how good Sister Alan is to her brother, and you know that your brother likes Sister Alan very much. Xu Zhijiao shouted in hindsight, and was about to rush out to chase Alan.
"Jiao'er, sit down for me! I can't help you intervene in this matter! Yang Molan drank her daughter, and Xu Zhijiao suddenly became aggrieved: "Weishenme, I can't interject?" You just hide it from me, you hide everything from me, do you really think I'm a child? And mother, why don't you show me the letter written by Aunt Wu? What the hell is hiding from me, I'm your daughter, Weishenme can't know? ”
It's my own daughter. This sentence made the tears roll down Yang Molan's eyes, and she wanted to say that her daughter was still young, but she couldn't say anything when she choked in her throat.
"Don't say I'm still young, I'm sixteen, my brother is sixteen years old, he is already a Tanhualang, and he can already resign for me. Mother, I am also sixteen years old, although I am a daughter's family, but I don't know anything, what is the matter, you want to hide it from me? ”
"Gillian, my mother didn't hide it from you, but, we won't stay in Guizhou for a long time, maybe a year, maybe two years, and we're going back. If I really marry Alain, if she wants to go back to the capital with me, will she be willing to give up her father, mother, brother and sister-in-law? If you don't go back with me, do you want me to be a negative person? Gillian, many things are not what you like, so you must follow your heart. Gillian, I do have a good impression of Alain, but if I really like her and treat her well, I can't uproot her from this. How can a tea tree survive easily if it leaves the place where it was originally planted? ”
Xu Zhi'an retracted his eyes, looked at Xu Zhijiao and said in a low voice, sometimes, give up, not because I don't like it, but because I like it very much, so I don't want the other party to get hurt, so I would rather be sad. Xu Zhian felt that his mother thought the same way when she decided to send her sister away, right?
Xu Zhijiao felt that her brain was confused, because she liked it very much, so she didn't agree, not because she liked it, but in this world, aren't people who should like it together?
"Jiao'er, you said that we treat you as a child, but you don't know that two people who like it have to live together for a lifetime, and they don't just rely on liking." Yang Molan hugged her daughter's shoulder and comforted her, but unfortunately, she knew this truth too late, and when she knew, everything was irreparable. But even so, Yang Molan looked back on the past and found that she had no regrets, perhaps, for young people, how can they be called young people if they don't have such a favorite experience?
"Mother!" Xu Zhijiao shook her head, so as to shake out all the chaotic thoughts in her mind, it turned out that my brother didn't accept Sister Alan because he didn't like it, but because he liked it. How can there be such a thing in this world?
Alan didn't run far, unwilling she quietly walked back to the vicinity of Xu's house, when she heard Xu Zhi'an and Yang Molan talking, Alan didn't know what to say, whether to be happy or sad, or both. I just looked at the room and knew that from now on, no matter what, I couldn't open this door again.
Alan covered his mouth with his hand to prevent his crying from coming out, why do so many men in the world fall in love with Xu Zhi'an? Thinking of his father's sigh, Alan couldn't help but shake his head desperately, and now he knew that not only because he was born handsome, but also because of what a responsible man he was, but it was a pity that such a man could not stay here. Sadness and despair were no longer enough to describe Alain's mood, she quietly retreated, and the silver jewelry on her body inevitably made a sound.
This voice alarmed the people in the house, and Xu Zhi'an had already walked to the door and asked who it was? Arain didn't care to be discovered, turned and ran, letting the silver trinkets jingle all the way. Xu Zhi'an looked at Alain's back, listened to the sound of the silver jewelry smashing, and knew that he would never forget this back or voice for the rest of his life.
Seeing her son walk in, Yang Molan gently patted her son's shoulder, how can life go well, her son can do this, Yang Molan is already very comforted. Xu Zhi'an smiled at his mother, and said to Xu Zhijiao, who was depressed beside him: "Don't be depressed there, when we return to Beijing, everything will be different!" ”
Xu Zhijiao glared at her brother and wanted to sue her mother, but thinking of her mother's words, she turned around and walked into her room sullenly.
is sixteen years old, and she is still so childish, Yang Molan is angry and funny in her heart, she walked into her daughter's room, stretched out her hand and touched her face: "You, don't be so childish anymore, people have to grow up after all, and you have to understand the truth you didn't know before!" ”
"Do you want to say that if my brother gets married early, you should hold your grandson now, and I will be my aunt?" Xu Zhijiao hugged Yang Molan's arm and said coquettishly. Yang Molan touched her daughter's face: "Yes, it should be like this." Besides, you ......"
You have already become an aunt, if you didn't have all this, now you should be a child with your eldest daughter and a proud grandmother, but it's not so easy. Don't regret your choice, Yang Molan thought about the letter written by her eldest daughter, there were few words on the letter, but one or two greetings. It's like treating a most ordinary acquaintance, in fact, that's enough, enough.
Yang Molan hugged her little daughter tighter, and the scene of the mother and daughter hugging and crying and forgiving each other, she couldn't act, and she couldn't play herself, as long as she could let go of her knots, and stop thinking that she had abandoned her in the first place, it was enough. Enough to comfort this mother's heart.
"Xu Zhi'an is going to return to Beijing after his term of office?" This news made Yulin's brows frown slightly, time would be so fast, it would be three years in the blink of an eye? Liu Jinsong teased the child in Yulin's arms: "Of course, our little Shu'er is more than a year old, and his term of office actually expired two months ago, but some people are reluctant to transfer him to Beijing." ”
Saying that, Liu Jinsong's eyebrows frowned slightly: "But the county official Xiaolu is thin, I'm afraid that he won't have the money to come back!" ”
The weather was hot, and Yulin wiped some of the sweat off her daughter's forehead: "Nonsense, when I don't know? When they return to Beijing, there will always be peace! ”
"Oh, you really know?" Liu Jinsong said deliberately, and Yulin stretched out his hand to hit him: "Do you really think that I am the one who is high up and does not know the suffering of the people?" He's back, too! ”
"You're not going to have any feelings for him, are you?" Saying that, Liu Jinsong pinched his daughter's little nose: "Shu'er, my father told you, your mother, for your uncle, I have no feelings." Yulin stretched out her hand and pinched Liu Jinsong's ribs hard: "There is no positive shape, you are like this, if we are young, we will definitely be carried by our grandmother to be trained alone for some time." ”
"Then our little Shu'er, can't we have a nurturing grandma!" Liu Jinsong immediately said this, which made Yulin laugh: "Nonsense, girls don't have a mother, what does that look like?" You can only pick two gentler nurturing grandmothers. You, it hurts your daughter so much. ”
However, Yulin thought about it again: "What you said to your father is the same." Later, my father personally entered the palace and called all the upbringing grandmothers, picked them one by one, and asked several times, only to pick two for me who knew the rules and were gentle, not so blindly believing that the strict master was a high-level apprentice! ”
"My daughter's house is going to hurt!" Liu Jinsong didn't care if he didn't hold his grandson, he held his daughter in his arms and shook it gently. Xiao Wangshu has already begun to learn to speak, she was shaken very comfortably, she grinned, showed the small glutinous rice teeth on the gum, and took a big mouth at Liu Jinsong's face: "Daddy, good!" ”
"Oh, my daughter, know I'm a good father!" Liu Jinsong was even happier this time, kissed his daughter on the face a few times, and Yulin yawned: "She would have said that her mother is good, and her mother is good, do you think she knows how good you are?" Dream on. ”
Liu Jinsong snorted from his nose, still teasing his daughter to call herself, but unfortunately Xiao Wangshu changed his mouth and said that his mother was okay after screaming a few times, which made Liu Jinsong very depressed. Yulin smiled again: "Okay, your daughter is also good to you, if you change someone else, she won't bother to call it." My mother-in-law came to tell me, and I only then learned that the nurse in the third aunt's house had been kicked out again. Her son, in the future, will definitely become a gentleman! ”
Two months after Wangshu was born, Princess Yunmeng gave birth to a son after a day and a night of struggle, and this hard-won son was instantly held to the sky by Princess Yunmeng. Originally, four nurses had already been selected, but Princess Yunmeng disliked that two of them gave birth to daughters, so she went back and re-selected two of them who gave birth to sons to milk their own children.
The maid was also carefully selected, and all the clothes used by the child were sewn from the royal cloth. In the words of the eldest princess Yunmeng, this allows the child to have more blessings from the emperor's uncle, so that he can grow up healthy and never get sick.
This child is treated like a baby bump, and he really can't even cry, let alone get sick. However, the more pampered the child, the more likely it is to get sick. If it weren't for the fact that Princess Yunmeng knew that the emperor was already disgusted with her, she was afraid that she would have the cheekiness to beg the emperor to let an imperial doctor live in her house and give her son special treatment.
"It's strange to raise children like this. It's just that the identity is still noble, and there are not many people who can suppress it. Eighteen years later, this capital is only afraid that it will add harm. "Robbing men and women, as long as you don't meet particularly hard people, many people will suffer this loss, but there are many other things.
Yulin couldn't help but sigh lightly: "The third aunt was told by her sister a few days ago, and threatened to take away the title, I thought I could settle down, but who knew that giving birth to this son started again!" "It's really not quiet to give birth to a daughter, and it's even more unquiet to give birth to a son. Liu Jinsong patted his wife on the shoulder: "As long as you don't kill people on the street and set fires, no one can do anything." After all, there are too few strong points! ”
"Our daughter can't do that!" When Yulin and his wife were talking, Xiao Wangshu was already lying in his father's arms and falling asleep. Liu Jinsong looked down at his daughter and smiled gently: "That is, even if you want to rob the young man of a good family, you have no place to rob it!" ”
"It's out of shape again!" Yulin slapped her husband, then leaned on his shoulder and smiled, being able to laugh freely as she wanted, instead of being false and wronged, how beautiful such a day was.
"Princess, Mrs. Wu has someone send a letter!" The maid stepped forward and handed a letter to Yulin, who looked at the thickness of the letter and knew that it contained not only a letter written by Mrs. Wu, but also a letter from the person whose title was hovering in her heart, but Yulin did not dare to call out.
Yulin took the letter and asked the maid to stand down, and Liu Jinsong stretched out his head to read what was written on the letter with Yulin. Yang Molan's letter has always been simple, and now it is no exception, only saying that Xu Zhi'an's term of office has expired and he will leave for Beijing, counting the days, he will be able to arrive in Beijing in September. Thank you princess for all these years.
The tone is calm, and the correspondence is polite, and such things will continue for a long time. After reading the letter, Yulin didn't know what to think in her heart. Liu Jinsong reached out and held Yulin's hand: "Actually, that's fine!" ”
Yes, if you think about it, that's not bad, it's just always hard to get over. Yulin smiled lightly, looked at her sleeping daughter, hugged her daughter, and patted her gently. What a treasure my daughter is.
Although Xu Zhi'an's position is not high, what he did back then was amazing enough, so the news of his return to Beijing was quickly transmitted in various prefectures. Zhu Wei'an, who heard the news, couldn't help frowning: "He was able to return to Beijing, didn't he not let him come back?" ”
"What you said is that the Ministry of Officials also agreed, but who knew that Lord Shangshu personally asked about it that day, and said that it was Bixia who mentioned it, and no one dared to disobey Bixia's meaning." The person who came to deliver the message said respectfully to Zhu Wei'an.
"What does Bixia mean? Bixia, how can you care about such a petty official? Don't say that Zhu Wei'an doesn't believe it, even the person who reported the news doesn't believe it: "We also think it's ridiculous, after all, Bixia was very angry at the beginning, but it's true!" ”
It's really not going well, Zhu Wei'an let people go down, meditated hard there, married a wife, Xiaolin's is still beautiful, and his temperament is gentle, but unfortunately he is not the person in his heart after all. If it weren't for the Lin family, it would be really difficult for Zhu Wei'an to perfunctory his wife.
"Fifth master, fifth grandmother is here!" The little maid is on the side to report, what is she going to do? What will you do besides delivering snacks? Zhu Wei'an thought impatiently in his heart, but he still asked his wife to come in, and when he saw his wife come in, he also showed a smile: "You are pregnant, so you don't have to run like this!" ”
Miss Lin in the past, and Grandma Zhu Wu today are full of satisfied smiles, her husband treats her very much, her in-laws are also easy to get along with, and she also respects herself among her sisters. Not to mention that my sister-in-law is already a good friend with her, and now she is pregnant with a child, and when she gives birth to a son, this life will be complete.
Thinking about Grandma Zhu Wu, she said softly: "It's hot, I'll ask the kitchen to make mung bean soup for you." Although you like to drink sour plum soup, it's a restrained thing, and it's not good to drink too much! Zhu Wei'an drank the mung bean soup in one gulp and said to his wife: "You are still thoughtful." You go back to your room first. I'll read two more pages and I'll go back to my room! ”
Grandma Zhu Wu responded gently, took the maid's hand and left. Zhu Wei'an suppressed the irritability in his heart, and was about to sit back, when a little servant came to ask Mrs. Zhu to come over.
Zhu Wei'an never dared to disobey his grandfather, and at this time it was no exception, and he went to the garden with the little girl.
"I heard you're angry again?" Before he could salute Mrs. Zhu, Zhu Wei'an heard his grandfather's cold voice. Zhu Wei'an couldn't help jumping before he said: "Grandfather, grandson is just ......"
"So impetuous? How can I put the Zhu family in your hands? Don't think that you are from a noble background and have the favor of your aunt. In this capital, there are more people with more noble backgrounds than you, and there are more people who are favored by Bixia. If you don't press yourself anymore and adopt your heart, how can you achieve a career, and how can you support the Zhu family after a hundred years? ”
Zhu Wei'an hurriedly knelt down: "Yes, my grandson was indeed a little frivolous before, but in the past two years, my grandson has changed his mind and married a wife, and my grandson has been reading books in the study for a while every day." The grandson is still following his grandfather's orders and is now not in office. I have to wait until a few more years of polishing before I can get out of business! ”
Zhu Wei'an admitted his mistake so quickly, which also eliminated the fire in Mrs. Zhu's heart, and he asked Zhu Wei'an to get up: "Get up!" A British government dares not to agree to our marriage, a woman and a son, what do you think is the eldest son? ”
Chu Zhi entered the second class in the examination, and the palace piloted the tenth place in the second class, less than twenty small jinshi, although it was not as good as the scenery of Xu Zhi'an's sixteenth Tanhualang, his identity was immediately different from the original. What's more, he is a noble son, and he has become a quick son-in-law in the eyes of everyone.
The Zhu family naturally also looked at this piece of fragrant bread, and the Qianren said that they wanted to marry Master Zhu's young daughter. Who knew that it was returned by the British government, saying that before Chu Zhi was not in the Jinshi, he had an alliance with people, and he had not decided for a long time, just to marry after high school.
Hearing these words in the ears of Old Lady Zhu, it was like slapping yourself. The things that children teach and receive privately, just talking and playing, the British government is still willing to listen, and even for this, refusing so many family's proposals, it is simply frivolous when you win a jinshi.
But when I met Zhu Wei'an again, he was still impetuous, and Mrs. Zhu hated iron even more, and only hated that he couldn't live for generations, and managed this family strictly. Zhu Wei'an knew about this, and when he heard Old Lady Zhu's words, he couldn't help frowning: "The Chu family also dares?" ”
"Why don't you dare? Now the whole capital knows that the prince and the Zhu family are not close, and our only chance is your aunt. After all, Bixia once ......," Old Lady Zhu paused and didn't continue.
"Bixia is still in the prime of life." It is inappropriate to discuss the health of the Son of Heaven privately, and Zhu Wei'an's voice couldn't help but be very low. Old lady Zhu also looked around, and said in a lower voice: "Bixia, his body is not very good." Your aunt inquired in many ways and knew that Bixia was only a few years! ”
can say a few years, but no more than five years, if my aunt becomes the queen mother, it will be very different from the queen who was suppressed by the Son of Heaven! Zhu Wei'an's eyes flashed with excitement.
"You must not say anything about it. If it arouses bixia's suspicion, an edict before dying asks your aunt to go to the Buddha to worship the Buddha, and the bamboo basket will be empty! "This kind of thing has not happened, although they are all the queen mother's honorific titles, but the queen mother who is supported by the Son of Heaven in the palace, and the queen mother who goes to the Buddhist temple to worship the Buddha, those are two concepts.
Zhu Wei'an hurriedly put away the excitement in his eyes, nodded to his grandfather, and must not say, five years, maybe not five years. It's no wonder that my aunt never stopped Bixia from pampering women, and even took good care of her children.
A queen with the crown prince in her hand doesn't need to fight for these short and long ones. Zhu Wei'an was still thinking about it, and Old Lady Zhu said again: "Also, that Xu Zhi'an, if you can win him over, it would be the best!" ”
Xu Zhi'an has always been the opponent in Zhu Wei'an's heart, and now he suddenly wants to call himself to win over, Zhu Wei'an's eyebrows couldn't help frowning again, and Old Lady Zhu continued as if he didn't see him frowning: "Princess Yongle has already married another person and gave birth to a child, and those things are in the past. Xu Zhi'an was demoted to Guizhou for Princess Yongle, and although he has returned to Beijing now, he inevitably has no resentment in his heart. It's always good to befriend him more! ”
"In that case, why don't you give the seventh sister to Xu Zhi'an? The grandson listened, Xu Zhi'an is not married! For the sake of big things, he had to let go of those grievances, Zhu Wei'an thought about it seriously, it seems that there is a younger sister who has not been married, as for whether the Xu family agrees to this matter, it is not within Zhu Wei'an's thinking.
If it can be married, it would be great, Mrs. Zhu is also thinking about this possibility, but this alone still can't be done.
There was a lot of discussion in the capital, but it did not block Xu Zhi'an's way back to Beijing. When the osmanthus flowers had just bloomed, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers in the capital could not fall, the Xu family returned to the capital. is different from Xiao Suo when he went, there are really a lot of people waiting in the Ten Mile Pavilion to welcome Xu Zhi'an.
"Mother, why are there so many people to greet you?" Xu Zhijiao opened the curtain and saw that there were all cars, horses and people outside, and couldn't help but be startled.
"Perhaps, which senior official will also return to Beijing today, right?" Yang Molan said this casually, and looked out of the car, wanting to find the servants of the Wu Mansion.
There were too many people, and they didn't find it for a while, Yang Molan was still thinking, and someone had already walked up to Xu Zhi'an's horse: "Dare to ask, but Xu Tanhua, my master ordered me to greet here!" ”
