Chapter 17 Habitable
Su Lu only talked to Su's mother about going to Chengdu Mansion the next day.
Su's mother gave birth to Su Lu in her forties, and she naturally loved her, and when she heard Su Lu say that she was going to study in Chengdu Mansion, she didn't object, but just told Xiaocui and King Kong to serve Su Lu carefully, and personally packed up Su Lu's things.
When I went out, I had to bring everything I needed, and Su Mu packed up and found that one box couldn't fit at all, and she had to pack two boxes. She asked someone to bring a second box and pack all the things that Su Lu might use.
When Su Jian came back from outside, he saw the people in the house busy coming in and out.
When I entered the house, I saw that the things I brought back were all turned over, and the two boxes were already stuffed to the brim, and Su's mother still had words in her mouth, saying "I have to bring this" and "I have to bring this".
Su Jian glanced at this battle, how could he not know that his wife was preparing for the departure of his youngest son. He said: "He went to someone else's house to study, what are you doing with so many things for him?" I don't know, I thought he had moved his house over! ”
Su's mother said: "What do you know, these are all things that my son is used to, what should I do if he doesn't have it at hand when he wants to use it?" ”
Su Jian shook his head: "It is said that loving mothers are defeated, wait and see, see what you are used to him." ”
Although Su Mu refuted Su Lian's words, she also knew that she shouldn't bring so many things when she went to someone else's house to borrow them, so she could only start to take the things in the box out and pack the two boxes into one box. When she finished her work, she asked someone to call Yun Niang and asked her whether she would stay in the old mansion or follow Su Lu to Chengdu Mansion.
Su's mother doesn't pay attention to her appetite, unless it is sent by her son, otherwise she will eat it, and she won't worry about it without her, so her son wants to go out, and she privately wants Yun Niang to follow her.
Yun Niang took care of Su Lu from a small baby to such a big one, and she had already made up her mind that she would go wherever the child went. She said without hesitation: "I want to follow to Chengdu Mansion." ”
Su's mother asked her to go back and pack her things.
Su Jian was reading a book next to him, and when he heard Su Mu ask Yun Niang's opinion, he wanted to say a few words, but considering Yun Niang's presence, he had to swallow the words back first.
As soon as Yun Niang left, Su Lian said angrily: "You let that kid take Xiaocui and King Kong, forget it, you really have to be served when you study." But did you ask him to bring Yun Niang with you? Do you really treat someone else's home as your own? ”
Su Mu said: "When they taste Yun Niang's craftsmanship, they won't dislike us and let us bring more people." She is not an unsophisticated person, but her son is out of the house, and she can't follow her, so she has to let all the people under her son go with her.
Su Lian had nothing to say, so he had to shut up.
On the other side, Wang Fu was also packing up things for Su Shi.
They have been married for a few months, and it is the time of strong affection, so they naturally do not want to separate, but Wang Fu also knows that the opportunity is rare, this time Zhang Fangping is willing to teach them to take advantage of his father's old friend, and if he misses it, he will not have such an opportunity.
The couple picked out the things to bring and talked, and unconsciously packed the luggage they wanted to bring.
Early the next morning, the three brothers met at the gate.
Su Shi was carrying a burden.
Su Zhe was carrying a burden.
Su Lu took his maid, his servant, and the nurse and cook, as well as two stuffed boxes.
A box was filled with Su Lu's things, and the clothes were on their backs, but they didn't bring pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and they were going to buy them together after they arrived in Chengdu.
The other box is filled with large and small kitchenware and spices prepared by Yun Niang, such as her homemade yeast powder, which must be prepared in advance before it can be used at any time, and it is impossible to buy ready-made ones elsewhere.
Su Shi and Su Zhe watched as the people carried two large boxes into the car.
Seeing Su Fu's posture as if moving, Wang Fu and Cheng's parting worries were all gone.
Su Lu didn't feel that there was anything to leave home, but in turn told his mother to take good health, remember not to let his father overeat, quit heavy oil and salt, the couple are both fifty years old, but they have to take good care of their bodies.
Mother Su listened to her little son's earnest and earnest appearance, and her heart became more and more reluctant. But her son was born lazy, and it was rare for her to take the initiative to go out to play this time, and she didn't want to detain him, with two cousins Su Shi and Su Zhe watching, nothing would happen.
Su's mother knew very well that this time her son said that he was going to study in Chengdu Mansion, but he just thought Chengdu Mansion was fun, and he definitely didn't really want to work hard. But it's a great thing to just go out and have a look, make some friends with similar interests, and strengthen the bond between cousins.
His son himself knows that he will only do what he is interested in. When others force him to do this and that, he will only cope with things, and he will not use any of his thoughts on it.
They are not young anymore, and they can't get used to their sons for a few years, and when their sons grow up, they always have to stand up on their own.
They have to learn to let go.
After the mother and son finished speaking, Su Lu jumped into the car to meet the Su Shi brothers.
The two cars drove towards Chengdu Mansion in a curling motion.
Su Shi was the eldest, and when he got to the ground, he got out of the car first and talked to the porter.
The porter saw Su Shi and said respectfully: "The official ordered to come down early in the morning, and the three Langjun please come with us." ”
At this time, Xiaocui and Yun Niang had already gotten out of the car, King Kong moved the first big box out of the car, and then went to carry the second box out of the car, and put the two together and waited for Su Lu's next instruction.
The porter saw that Su Shi was carrying a burden, and thought that they were just carrying this luggage, but he was a little stunned when he saw Xiaocui and the three of them.
Su Shi was still a young man who had not reached the weak crown after all, and his ears were a little hot after noticing the porter's gaze.
Their little cousin is good at everything, but he is too pampered, and he is very picky about what he eats and wears, and he brings all the cooks to other people's houses.
If this matter is left at home, I have to mutter a few words in my heart.
Su Lu was calm. He followed Su Shi and greeted the porter, and then asked obediently: "Xiaocui, Yun Niang, and King Kong all came with me, I don't know if Uncle Zhang's family can live?" If they can't afford it, I can ask them to rent a yard nearby. ”
Guests are coming, how can there be a reason for people to rent a room outside?
The porter hurriedly said: "I can live in, we have a lot of empty rooms." ”
The porter led Su Lu and his party inside, led them to the front hall, and then went to report the matter to the steward.
The steward immediately asked people to clean up the residence of Xiaocui and the three of them, and try to arrange it as close to Su Lu's room as possible, so as not to separate the master and servant.
Zhang Fangping was going to the front office during the day, and his wife Ma and young son Zhang Shu came out to greet Zhang Fangping's three prospective students.
Zhang Shu is the same age as Su Shi and them, it is the age when he is studying and preparing for the exam, and he and the Su Shi brothers naturally hit it off at first sight.
They could talk, and Su Lu, a half-sized boy, was left alone. He didn't see the little lady of the Zhang family, and he was a little disappointed, so he could only eat tea and taste snacks under Ma's warm greeting.
Alas, the first two meetings were really fate, I don't know when their next fate will come?
On the other side, Zhang Fangping was pondering the rumors outside.
Recently, I don't know where the news came, saying that the rebels led by Nong Zhigao were going to fight, and the officials below also listened to the wind and rain, urgently recruited soldiers, practiced bows, and built walls.
Nong Zhigao wanted to be admitted to the Jinshi in his early years, but he was not hired, and he felt that he was disappointed by his obedience, and he was resentful of the Great Song Dynasty, so he announced the founding of the country in the south.
The officials stationed in the south didn't take it seriously, and let Nong Zhigao grow stronger and stronger, and in the past two years, Nong Zhigao suddenly moved eastward, and blinded the people in the south, and several guards knelt down one after another, and all the states in the south were handed over.
It was Di Qing who was ordered to lead his troops south to regain the lost city.
It's just that Nong Zhigao's whereabouts are unknown, and he doesn't know where he fled without seeing anyone alive or dead, and he doesn't know where he fled.
In these years, the news spread slowly, and it took a long time for the news from the front to reach Shudi. In the past few months, I don't know who spread the rumors, saying that Nong Zhigao ran to Shudi, which made the counties below rumor!
After Zhang Fangping took office, he began to get people to ban these rumors, arrested several people who spread rumors, and repatriated the soldiers who were recruited, but unfortunately with little success, and the people were still panicked below. He had already sent someone to the south to inquire about the news, and only waited for the person sent to return with the exact news before issuing a clarification document.
Zhang Fangping was worried, and he heard a report that the three Su Shi brothers had arrived.
Seeing that it was almost time to eat, Zhang Fangping simply put away the official documents on the table and went to the office to eat.
The three boys of the Su family are all smart, and he has to teach them well with snacks.
