Chapter 57: Family Matters (2nd Watch)
The old man left very simply, and his back was a little desolate. The smoke rose in bursts, and was instantly diluted by the wind, and the pear tree next to it shook in the wind, and a few pear blossoms fell. Wang Ning retracted her gaze, and with a sigh, she abandoned that inexplicable emotion, thinking that she had seen the wind and waves, didn't she just listen to a story, why not!
The old man talked about this, just by chance, and the sorrow was probably because the scholars were worried about the country and the people, at first glance, they saw the kind of battle in the mountains of corpses and the sea of blood, and left a deep memory in the bottom of their hearts, and now they heard that there was a war in the north, and there were dead people, and they thought it was the same as his impression, and it was a tragic scene.
However, in fact, who can say clearly what happened on the battlefield, the new dynasty has killed many people because of the war over the years, but most of these people are actually ordinary people. There are few armies that can fight, often hundreds of thousands of people surround it, and more than 10,000 people on the other side charge in a round, crushing the past with an absolute chilling offensive, and hundreds of thousands of people are scattered like that, and then simple slashing is the most common scene on the battlefield.
After the massacre, those who survived were driven to the north like cattle and sheep to survive as slaves.
In times of war, human life is so worthless, but this worthless rotten life, how many people do everything to survive.
To put it more broadly, the army of the new dynasty has been beaten and rotten, and it is actually the people who suffer in the end. But for some of these people, they are actually not worthy of sympathy.
Shaking his head, shaking these emotions away, he breathed a long sigh of relief, he stood up, probably not knowing what he should do, so he sat back down.
After a while, the host had already beckoned him to breakfast.
*********
In January, the breath of spring is getting stronger and stronger, the breeze is blowing, the green willows are still around, and Jiangning City exudes a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.
In the Su family's house, Su Yuan walked out of the study, presumably hiding in a dark place, he hadn't seen the sun for too long, his face looked pale, and if he looked closely, he could see that he had lost a lot of weight, but those eyes were still not depressed.
The housekeeper was already waiting outside, and when he saw him come out, he hurriedly greeted him and asked some questions with concern.
Su Yuan smiled and said, "I heard that many people in my family have been restless recently, how can this be...... When Xiaoyan is not here, they are in a mess like this, this is when I die. ”
This sounded like a child's joke, and the housekeeper was so confused that he probably couldn't guess the owner's thoughts, so he lowered his head and didn't speak.
Su Yuan then said: "It's called Su Wenji, Su Wenkui came to see me, I have something to explain to them." Besides, you go to the inn and tell the shopkeepers that I'll visit them tomorrow. ”
The housekeeper turned around and walked a few steps according to his words, then hesitated for a moment or turned around, and asked worriedly: "Master, what about the young lady?" ”
Su Yuan put his hands on his waist, tilted his head slightly, and looked out from the eaves, where a soft thin cloud was being swept away by the wind little by little: "The child will grow up after all, and there will be a day when he leaves home...... said this, but the sadness on his face was revealed, "No matter what the result, let her go out of the house...... One day, we will be reunited. ”
The housekeeper's heart sank, he knew that the power behind Su Yuan could make him show such an expression of almost giving up, it was true that there was a high probability that he was convinced of Su Xiaoyan's death news, and with the channels in his hands, he almost agreed with this.
But without seeing the corpse with his own eyes, there is still hope for everything.
The housekeeper smiled bitterly in his heart, sensing the ruthlessness in Su Yuan's eyes, he knew that he had made up his mind, in short, the Su family might have to die some people.
The butler went out with his heart in mind, and he still had great complaints about those ineffective guys, but he knew that it was not suitable to contact that side at the moment, and this anger could only be suppressed by himself.
Su Yuan's eyes were sad, and he muttered: "I always felt that you loved her so much, you wouldn't do such a thing." ”
When he said this, he felt like he was in despair.
Not long after, in the side hall, the two brothers Su Wenji and Su Wenkui, who were in the three generations of the Su family, waited for Su Yuan with excitement. When the housekeeper came to inform them before, although the two of them were forced to hide their hearts, after all, the city government was insufficient, and everything was written on their faces.
The two brothers are not very old, they are only eighteen or nineteen years old, and they have also been to the academy for a few years in previous years, but after taking the exam a few times, the brothers felt that there was no hope and retired. In fact, in the three generations of the Su family, the cost of studying is basically provided by Su Yuan, and their feelings for Su Yuan are naturally deeper, so Su Xiaoyan's disappearance, they are sincerely sad, but they also look around for their weak relationship and help find it.
At the moment, Su Yuan asked them to come over, of course, it will not be a simple thank you for their efforts, the two of them are confident, this will be their opportunity to go to the front desk of the Su family, and they are excited.
After Su Yuan sent the housekeeper, he took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and then came over. When he arrived at the door, he looked at the two young men with children and nephews, with a smile on his face, paused, and walked over.
Su Wenji and the others hurriedly got up, greeted them respectfully, and each called "Third Uncle".
Su Yuan walked up to the two of them, smiled, and said a few words of encouragement, and then asked them all to sit down, and he walked to the top position and sat down.
"Hmm...... Tell you to come, and some things will be arranged for you. You've been at home for a long time, and you should know how to operate some experience. ”
Su Wenji and the two glanced at each other, changed their sitting posture slightly, and straightened up.
Su Yuan continued: "Business in Shouzhou has not been good, I plan to let you go, and in the future, your home field will be over there, whether it is to operate Shouzhou with peace of mind, or to expand, you can make your own decisions." ”
Su Wenji, as the elder brother, got up at this time and said, "We know." ”
Su Wenkui also stood up and followed Su Wenji's example.
Su Yuan smiled with satisfaction, stood up, and patted the two of them on the shoulder: "You also know that after Xiaoyan's accident, the family was in a mess, but don't disappoint me." ”
When it comes to Su Xiaoyan, the two of them look dark, their expressions are not fake, they don't talk about a lot of righteousness, just talking about the relationship between them, this kind of grief of losing their loved ones couldn't be more real.
"We can save it." Saying this, the two of them stood up on their shoulders, and immediately felt that they had taken on a great responsibility.
"In addition, ......" Su Yuan said and looked at Su Wenkui, who was not speaking, and said, "I have no children under my knees, Wenkui, would you like to come to my side?" ”
The room fell silent, and all eyes fell on Su Wenkui.
