Chapter 215: Luoyang
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, Qiantang County was very lively, and early in the morning, Qian Sheng hurriedly brought people here.
After Qian Sheng came, he immediately complimented Su Wuming, he had known Su Wuming for a year, and knew that Su Wuming didn't like to listen to sycophants, so he didn't dare to say more compliments.
After expressing his congratulations to Su Wuming in this way, Qian Sheng tentatively asked where Gonggong Xi was, Su Wuming naturally understood Qian Sheng's intention, he wanted to climb up to Gonggong Xi, and then have a good chance to be promoted, Su Wuming shrugged his shoulders and said apologetically: "Gonggong Xi left Qiantang County early in the morning, and he wants to return to Beijing to resume his life." ”
Qian Sheng was dumbfounded, the only chance for promotion was lost in vain, and now he hates the person who told him the news, why did he tell him so late, why did he tell him this morning, if only he knew about it last night.
But last night everyone was immersed in the joy of Chinese New Year's Eve, who would notice that there was an extra father-in-law in Su Wuming's mansion?
Qian Sheng left very disappointed, and after he left, Su Wuming and the others began to pack up their things and prepare to enter Beijing, of course, in addition to packing up the things they needed on the road, these mansions and everything had to be sold.
Because this place was where Su Wuming once lived, buyers were easy to find, and the price was expensive, after all, in addition to buying a house, those buyers also wanted to have a relationship with a promising young man like Su Wuming.
As soon as the mansion was sold, everyone's pockets were full again, and a few thousand taels of silver filled a chest in their house.
After everything was ready, they set off, first by dry road, after a few days to the Qinhuai River, and then by water, but the waterway did not go for a few days, because the further north, the ice in the Qinhuai River retreated, so finally they got off the boat and hired a carriage.
After a few tosses, a month later, they finally returned to Luoyang.
There are families and relatives in Luoyang, so they naturally want to go home to take a look first.
Luoyang City is still prosperous, although it is early spring, the willows are already clinging, but the wind blows and there is still a chill, the group just came to Luoyang City, and saw that there were many people standing there waiting outside Luoyang City, Su Wuming saw his mother at a glance, her face full of wind and frost was full of smiles about to see her son at this time.
And beside Su's mother, standing Tang's mother, Tang's mother had eagerness on her face, and she wanted to see her son very much.
In addition to these two mothers, the Thorn Mansion also sent someone, but it was just a housekeeper, Wen Wan'er had no home, and naturally no one from the Wen Mansion came, Su Wuming held Wen Wan'er's little hand tightly, hoping to give her a little comfort.
The carriage stopped in front of the city gate, Su Wuming and others got off the carriage, Su Mu and Tang Mu and they surrounded them, everyone was happy at first, and then they cried with joy, when Su Mu cried, she was a little angry, and said: "You are not filial son, go out for a year, and don't say that you will come home to see ......."
Everyone knows that this is just Su's mother's words, she is also a knowledgeable woman, so she naturally understands that officials are sent abroad, and they can go home casually.
Nangong Yan hadn't seen her father for a long time, so after talking to her mother-in-law, she followed the housekeeper back to the Assassin's Mansion, while Su Wuming and Wen Wan'er and their party returned to the Su Mansion.
Su Mansion is cleaner and more elegant than before under the care of Su Mu and Tang Mu, and even bigger, when Su Wuming found out about this, Su Mu smiled and said: "After you left, our workshop business was very good, so I discussed with Tang Meizi to expand Su Mansion, so I bought the nearby land and shops." ”
Su Wuming became an official, even if he was not at home, the people in this neighborhood would give the Su family some face, not to mention that Su Wuming's father-in-law was the assassin of Luoyang City, and Su's mother wanted to buy land, so naturally she would not encounter much obstruction.
People come and go in Luoyang City, and the spring breeze is blowing, and it is still steep, but when the spring breeze blows on Nangong Yan's face, she doesn't seem to feel a trace of chill, because her heart is fanatical.
She did not make a carriage, but rode a horse, which the butler had brought her, and she sat on the horse, and asked the butler, "Are my eldest brother and father all right?" ”
The old housekeeper is already in his fifties, smiling all day long, listening to the young lady's question, he quickly replied: "Very good, the old man is now in the house to prepare for the young lady to pick up the wind and wash the dust, the young master has been promoted, and now he is in charge of the Chang'an Military Department, and he came back for a few days during the Chinese New Year, and then he immediately returned to Beijing." ”
Nangong Yan couldn't help but be happy when she heard that her eldest brother had become an official and that he was in charge of the military power of the imperial court, but when she heard that she had only returned for a few days after the Chinese New Year, she immediately became disappointed and asked, "Is your eldest brother busy in the capital?" ”
"It is said that yes, now my Datang border is very unstable, and the Uighurs often disturb my Datang border, so the military headquarters is busy!"
The master and servant said, and then entered the Assassin's Mansion, Nangong Fuxiang's daughter was about to go crazy, but as an elder and Lord Assassin, it seemed inappropriate to greet his daughter and son-in-law, so he had to wait at home, and when he heard the crisp father, the old tears suddenly couldn't help but want to be vertical.
But after all, he was an official, so he held back the tears that were about to fall, smiled and hugged his daughter into his arms, and said, "Let's go, Daddy asked people to make your favorite meal, go in with Daddy." ”
There is a big table of meals, all of which Nangong Yan likes to eat, but there are only two of them, Nangong keeps picking up vegetables for his daughter, as if his daughter has suffered something in the year she left.
"Did Su Luodi bully you?"
"Daddy, what are you talking about, Su Lang is an official now, why do you still call him Su Luodi!" Nangong Yan said while eating, as if she didn't notice a trace of her father's gloom.
When her daughter got married, she spoke for her husband's family.
"He dares to bully me, I beat him five by myself, Daddy can rest assured, Su Lang is very good to me." Nangong Yan saw something, so she hurriedly said, her father said those words, not because he was worried that he would be bullied.
"I don't think that kid dares to bully my precious daughter."
In the Su Mansion, the meals have also been served, the Su Mansion is a little more lively than the Thorn Shi Mansion, and there are more people, after everyone is full, Su Mu kept giving Su Wuming dishes, and asked: "When you come back this time, do you want to stay at home for a few more days?" ”
Su Wuming hesitated for a moment, but finally told the truth.
"I'm afraid it's difficult, the emperor's edict on Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived, and now that I have been gone for a month, it is better to return to Chang'an as soon as possible."
Su Mu's expression was slightly sad, but she soon smiled again: "My son is determined to be in the world, and he really shouldn't stay at home for a long time." ”
The greatness of a mother, in addition to the selfless maternal love for her son, also has a mind that is far away from the world. How far a person can go depends more often on how far his mother can see.
The dining table was full of joy, and after everyone had eaten, Su's mother pulled Su Wuming to her room, closed the door, and asked, "Son, you have been married for more than a year, and the two of them have no reaction in their stomachs?" ”
Su Wuming showed an embarrassed look on his face and said, "This ......"
"Don't do this or that, if they can't do it, will you say a family affair for your mother?"
Su Wuming felt a little big, how could his mother, who had always understood righteousness, become like a hateful and ruthless mother-in-law who gritted her teeth in the matter of inheritance?
Many of those love legends in ancient times were forced by mothers-in-law, such as Jiao Zhongqing and Liu Lanzhi in the peacock southeast wind, thinking of the tragic ending of the two of them, Su Wuming hurriedly smiled: "Mother rest assured, it's not that their stomachs haven't moved, but that they have been away for a year, and their son is busy with things, and he has spent less time on those things. ”
After talking to Su's mother, Su Wuming went to arrange some things, and finally went to the Thorn Mansion alone with the gift, and his son-in-law came back, no matter what, he always had to go to his father-in-law's house to have a look.
Su Wuming bought a lot of gifts, some of which were still specialties that came back a little from Qiantang County, and of course, among these gifts, there must be a jar of good wine.
The son-in-law goes to see the father-in-law, if he wants to ease the relationship, having wine will naturally get twice the result with half the effort.
Seeing that Su Wuming was coming with a gift, the subordinates of the Assassin Mansion hurriedly led him in, and as soon as he walked to the courtyard, Nangong Yan had already heard the wind and greeted him, although the two had only been separated for half a day, but they were already like three autumns, so the movements were inevitably intimate, and at this time, a cold cough suddenly came, and the two suddenly settled down.
Nangong Fu stood in front of the door and looked at the two of them, and said coldly: "The virtuous son-in-law is here?" ”
Su Wuming handed the gift to the housekeeper and hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Hello father-in-law!" ”
Nangong Fu nodded slightly, and then entered the living room, Su Wuming followed behind, and after Nangong Fu asked him to sit, he sat down.
After the two sides sat down, Nangong Fu glanced at Nangong Yan and said, "I have something to talk about with Su Wuming, you go down first." ”
Nangong Yan disagreed, and said coquettishly: "Daddy, what do you want to talk about, can't your daughter listen to it?" ”
For his daughter, Nangong Fu has always been rarely pampered, but this time he spoke coldly and said: "What do you listen to as a girl, go back to the house and rest first." ”
Nangong Yan snorted coldly, and was very prepared to play a scoundrel and not leave.
Su Wuming faintly felt that something was about to happen, and he was a little flustered, but at this time, he didn't want to anger Nangong Fu, so he comforted: "Madam, you better go back to the house to rest first, and I'll look for you later." ”
Nangong Yan was very angry, but in the end she left reluctantly.
After Nangong Yan left, Su Wuming hurriedly asked, "I don't know if my father-in-law will break Yan'er, what do you have to discuss with your son-in-law?" ”
