Chapter 228: The Su Family
Since the death of Pingbei Hou Su Jin, Ding's health has not been good, almost eight out of ten days have been sick, and his body has long collapsed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It's just a spirit that is holding on.
When Macheng Mansion spread that Su Chenjing was the second prince of the former emperor who was exiled among the people, she knew in her heart that her son's life experience could not be hidden, although she was also surprised by her son's true identity, but she thought in her heart how to hide it from Mrs. Su Xu as much as possible.
The Xu family has only one son-in-law in Su Jin's life, and she was widowed in her early years, her son and eldest grandson are her only spiritual sustenance, after Su Jin's death, if it weren't for Su Chenjing's support, the entire Su family would have collapsed long ago.
If the old lady knew that the eldest grandson she had been putting on the tip of her heart was not the Su family's bloodline at all, it was estimated that she would collapse.
But before Ding could think about hiding it from the old lady, someone broke the matter in front of the old lady.
The reason for the incident was that Su Yuman, the concubine of the third master of the Su family, listened to a few words of gossip when she went out to be a guest, guessed a rough idea, and told her mother Yang about it when she went back.
Yang is lazy to eat at home every day, and he loves to listen to new things on the street when he has nothing to do, and when he heard his daughter's words, he was startled at first and couldn't believe it.
How could Jing'er be the prince of the first emperor? Could it be the sister-in-law and the former emperor?
Phew, how is that possible? The eldest brother and sister-in-law have always been affectionate, and before that, the Pingbei Houfu was not eye-catching in the honor, and most of the time it was ignored by the emperor.
Unless Jing'er is not a sister-in-law's child?
But is this possible? Or is there a rumor? But their Su family is now an ordinary poor people, who will create such rumors against them, if they are caught, they will be beheaded.
The more Yang thought about it, the more she felt that it might be true, she carefully paid attention to the rumors on the street for a few days, and saw that what people said was really like that, and there was news in Macheng Mansion that the first emperor had a prince who lived among the people, and in their Macheng Mansion, I heard that the Queen Mother and the Emperor had sent guards to find it, could it really be Su Chenjing?
If Su Chenjing was really the prince of the previous emperor, wouldn't the rich days of their Su family come back.
Since moving to Macheng Mansion, although their family is supported by Su Chenjing's shop, although they will not starve and freeze, but this day is still far less comfortable than their days in Pingbei Houfu, plus the family is now the second wife Wei's housekeeper, the family's food and clothing are tight, although a small part of the money earned by the men is handed over to the public middle school, and the rest are classified into each room, but the same public middle school is only responsible for the most basic life, and others such as eating something good, wearing something good or something have to pay out of their own pockets.
Master Su San is used to being idle, and Su Sanlang and his daughter Su Yuman from the Yang family are even more lazy and lazy, and they can't wait to spend three dollars to earn one money, if there are two concubines who can serve her, their three-room life will be much more difficult.
If Su Chenjing is really the prince of the former emperor, and he has recognized his ancestors and returned to his ancestors, how can he not be crowned a prince or something, then wouldn't their Su family be able to return to the capital and live a comfortable life before.
Yang and his daughter Su Yuman thought about it, so they went to the old lady Xu's room and informed the old lady of the matter, "....... Our family has finally come to an end. ”
Since Mrs. Su arrived in Macheng Mansion, she has never been out of the house because her body is good and bad, so she naturally doesn't know what is going on outside.
After listening to Yang's words, his face suddenly darkened, and he scolded Yang angrily, "The third family, what nonsense are you talking about?" How could Jing'er not be the bloodline of the Su family? ”
Yang defended: "How can this be nonsense, mother, it's all spread outside now, don't believe it, you ask the second sister-in-law." ”
When she came, she dragged her second wife, Wei, with her.
Old Lady Su turned her head to look at Wei as if she were verifying.
Wei sighed secretly in her heart, if she knew that Yang was pulling her over to talk about this matter, she would definitely not come with her.
"Second family, what the hell is going on, you say." Mrs. Su knew that Wei's person had always been scheming, never talking nonsense, and doing things in a measured manner.
Wei pondered for a moment before he spoke, "Two days ago, when the second master came back, he also mentioned it, saying that there are some rumors outside that the former emperor had a prince who was exiled to Macheng Mansion, and the Queen Mother and the emperor sent someone to look for it in Macheng Mansion, as for whether it is Jing'er, then I don't know." ”
There was really such a thing, Mrs. Su was stunned, a panic flashed in her heart, and she subconsciously asked: "Jing'er people, why haven't you seen him in the past few days, and it's not this kind of busy way to be busy with business, you let people go to Jing'er and come back, and call your sister-in-law over to talk to me." ”
Wei nodded, turned around and went out to command.
Old Lady Su's sharp eyes stopped at Yang's body.
Yang shrunk his neck, lowered his head, and made up his mind to stay here and listen to what his sister-in-law Ding had to say.
Anyway, they have to figure out whether this matter is beneficial or harmful to their third room?
Old Mrs. Su stared at Yang for a moment, and then her eyes were retracted, and there was a little drumming in her heart.
The so-called groundlessness, this kind of thing will not be hooked up with Jing'er for no reason, is someone calculating the Su family, or are the rumors true?
What else is there for the Su family to calculate now, although Mrs. Su is very reluctant to think in the direction of the latter, but her reason tells her that the latter may be even greater.
She remembered in a trance that when her daughter-in-law Ding was pregnant and gave birth to Jing'er, she happened to accompany Lao Pingbei to go out for a walk, calculating her daughter-in-law's due date to rush back, and when she returned to the capital, she learned that her daughter-in-law was born prematurely, and she gave birth to Jing'er before the day came.
At that time, they didn't think much about it, after all, there were women who gave birth in less than a few days, and this was not a strange thing in the Western Han Dynasty.
Now that I think about it, Jing'er was white and fat when she was first born, and she was not at all weak and thin like a premature child.
Mrs. Su's heart was sour, and endless sadness and indescribable emotions welled up in her heart.
Ding walked in at this time.
Looking at her daughter-in-law, who had become more and more sick and weak since her son's death, Mrs. Su's lips opened, and she didn't know how to speak, so she had to point to the chair under her and let Ding sit down and talk.
She didn't speak, but the Yang family couldn't wait to open her mouth, "Sister-in-law, now there are rumors outside that Brother Jing is the prince of the former emperor, is this true, is Brother Jing really not born to the eldest brother?" ”
Ding's face suddenly turned pale, and her lips trembled, she subconsciously looked at Old Lady Su's face first, and then reprimanded Yang with an unnatural expression, "Third brother and sister, what are you talking nonsense?" How could Jing'er not be our own? ”
Old Mrs. Su's heart was cold.
has been a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law with Ding for nearly 20 years, and she naturally knows Ding's temperament very well.
Her brother Jing, the eldest grandson who she has been hurting for nearly 20 years on the tip of her heart, is not the bloodline of the Su family.
Old Lady Su didn't come up in one breath, so she pouted.
When she opened her eyes again, what caught her eye was Ding's crying and swollen eyes, "Mother, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hide it from you." ”
Ding knelt in front of the ** and burst into tears.
Old Lady Su stared blankly at the half-old light yellow gauze tent above her head, and only spoke after a while, "What the hell is going on, you tell me honestly, don't hide anything from me." ”
The voice was hoarse and hollow with an indescribable emptiness.
Ding shed tears, didn't dare to hide any more, and told everything he knew.
"I have been married to Hou Ye for two years, there has been no news in my stomach, I am very anxious, it is the concubine next to Hou Ye, and my daughter-in-law also secretly stopped the medicine, but I was stunned that I was not pregnant, and my daughter-in-law was anxious, I burned incense and worshiped Buddha every day, and when I heard that there was a doctor who was good at seeing infertility, I secretly went to see, it was Hou Ye, and gradually I was a little anxious, and sometimes I would accompany me to see the doctor."
Mrs. Su knew about these situations, her son and daughter-in-law had been married for more than two years, but she had not come out for a long time, she was a little dissatisfied with her daughter-in-law, and forced her daughter-in-law to stop the medicine for concubines, thinking that if someone could get pregnant, it would be the same under her name.
"Once, Hou Ye accompanied me to see a famous doctor who came to the capital from other places, the doctor said that the delay in infertility is not necessarily the cause of the woman, and the man may also have a problem....... said that Hou Ye's body was injured in his early years and he could not conceive a woman. ”
When Old Lady Su heard this, her face changed, Huo Ran turned her head and glared at Ding, "Impossible." ”
Ding's tears were even more fierce, remembering the blow her husband suffered when she heard the news, and her heart was even more sad, "Mother, at first we didn't believe it, and then Hou Ye quietly dressed up in disguise, and he went to see a lot of doctors, but everyone's statement is the same, Hou Ye is very sad, and has to accept the facts, but after all, this matter is related to the face of the Hou Mansion, and can not be let outsiders know, the daughter-in-law and Hou Ye discussed, so let the daughter-in-law pretend to be pregnant, and when the time comes, Hou Ye is looking for a baby outside to come in, Acting as the eldest son of our couple. ”
"Hou Ye said that everything is arranged by him, and the daughter-in-law didn't know what he was going to do, but suddenly one day, Hou Ye came back from outside in a mess, lifted the big cloak he was wearing, but found that there was a baby boy hidden inside, at this time there was still a month before the date of birth we originally planned, although the daughter-in-law was surprised, she had to pretend to be born prematurely, and the baby boy was Jing'er."
Ding Shi said that the tears flowed even more, when Su Chenjing first came to her, he was just a newborn baby, she watched him grow up from a baby, took care of him with her own hands, taught him, and raised him, she really regarded Jing'er as her own child, forgetting that he was brought back by her husband from outside.
Old Mrs. Su was completely stunned, she imagined a variety of possibilities, but she never thought that the truth of the matter would be like this, her son Su Jin was unable to conceive a woman.
She had vaguely heard that the couple had never had children, and it might be a man's problem, but after all, she had heard of it, and she had never really seen such a thing.
But she didn't expect such a thing to happen to her son, Mrs. Su couldn't tell the feeling in her heart, she only felt that everything that happened in front of her was so unreal, but it happened in front of her eyes again.
She was silent for a long time before she said, "Get up and speak." ”
Her sons are no longer there, and there is no point in pursuing this issue again, and this is also related to her son's face, she doesn't want her son to lose face after he dies.
Ding stood up, sat on the edge of the **, and looked at Mrs. Su with a worried expression, "Mother, I'm sorry." ”
Mrs. Su sighed, this matter can't be completely blamed on Ding, at that time, she wanted to save face for her son, and she would definitely find a way to have a child.
A woman can't give birth to her own child, being a mother is a painful thing in itself, and Ding has sacrificed a lot for her son, how can she blame her.
"Didn't you ask Jin'er, where did the child come from?" Mrs. Su finally asked about Su Chenjing's life experience.
Ding shook his head, "I asked, but Hou Ye said that he happened to meet it, so he brought it home, and said that this child is destined for us, and he can meet him when he walks outside, but the others refuse to say more, I think Hou Ye is probably afraid that I will leak my mouth in front of the child in the future, so I didn't ask more." ”
But if it was related to the child, how could Su Jin describe it like that and quietly returned to the house without alarming the other people in the house.
It is possible that Jing'er's identity is really not simple.
Old Lady Su's expression kept changing, she was puzzled for a while, Tie Qing for a while, frowned for a while, and finally let out a long sigh before she spoke, "I'm afraid that Jing'er's identity is really related to the royal family, Jin'er will be arrested and die in prison, I'm afraid that it will be inseparable from Jing'er's life experience." ”
Ding Shi looked up a little dazedly, and Mrs. Su's words went through her mind before she understood what her mother-in-law meant, and her face suddenly turned pale, "Mother, do you mean to say that Master Hou was arrested because of Jing'er?" ”
Old Mrs. Su said while thinking: "Our Su family has always been low-key, Jin'er never takes the initiative to provoke right and wrong in the court, and rarely interacts with people, how can he suddenly get involved in rebellion, I think it is the emperor who is eyeing Jin'er, and found out that he may be related to the missing prince in the palace, so he will arrest Jin'er and want to ask him about the whereabouts of the prince." ”
Mrs. Su was just guessing at first, but now the more she talks about it, the more she feels that it is very likely, because only in this way can it be explained, although all of them were arrested and put in prison, only Jin'er was held alone, and the rest of the Su family was imprisoned together, but they were rarely tortured, but they were only scared for a few words.
Besides, if it was really a major crime of rebellion, how could it be that only one Jin'er was dealt with in the end, but the rest of the Su family was acquitted and the family property was returned.
That can only show that the emperor feels weak in his heart, so there will be such a similar compensation measure.
At first, she couldn't understand how the Su family could suffer such a catastrophe, but now that she understands it, she can't accept it.
"It's because Jing'er ........," she repeated in a daze.
Ding was also frightened by Mrs. Su's speculation.
Did her beloved husband really die because of her beloved son?
Did Master Hou die to protect Jing'er?
Ding was stunned for a moment, obviously unable to accept this speculation.
Although their mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, including Su Chenjing, couldn't guess how the Su family could suddenly suffer such a catastrophe before, and they hated the emperor for treating the Su family like this and secretly executing Su Jin.
Now I suddenly know that the so-called "treason" is actually involved in the sinister palace struggle, as well as the blood of the former emperor, and the people involved in it are still Su Chenjing, who they care about the most, and the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law don't know how to react.
I don't know how long it took, Ding muttered to himself: "Everything is fate, Hou Ye knew that Jing'er was the prince, and brought it back to the family, and raised it as his own child for so many years, Hou Ye really loved Jing'er, as our own child, the daughter-in-law thought that the moment before he left in prison, he couldn't rest assured that Jing'er, for Jing'er, he was willing to give up his life........"
At this point, I couldn't cry anymore, and I couldn't say any more.
Old Mrs. Su's tears finally flowed.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law hugged their heads and cried.
After crying, Mrs. Su's emotions recovered a little, her personality was already tougher and assertive than Ding's, but what she knew today was too shocking, and she couldn't accept it for a while.
She wiped her tears and told Ding, "You must keep your mouth shut about Jin'er's illness, and in the future, when others ask, you only say that Hou Ye saved Jing'er by mistake, and took it home and raised it under your knees." ”
Ding nodded, she had even hidden Mrs. Su for so many years, and it would naturally not be a problem to continue to hide it.
"Then Jing'er ........?"
There is a lot of rumors outside, Jing'er must also know his life experience, I haven't seen him come back these days, and I don't know where he went.
In the end, she raised it with her own hands, and Ding still missed Su Chenjing very much in his heart.
Old Lady Su was silent for a moment, and said, "Let's talk about it when he comes back," after a pause, she said: "If our guess just now is correct, I'm afraid that the one in the palace doesn't want Jing'er to live in this world at all, and after his identity is revealed, I don't know how many difficulties he will face in the future." ”
Although her feelings for Su Chenjing are very complicated, she has also hurt Su Chenjing for so many years, and Mrs. Su still habitually analyzes the situation he will face in the future to the Ding family.
When Ding heard this, his face turned pale, "Then what should I do?" If he is only the eldest son of the Su family, won't he be able to do it? ”
"But now I'm afraid it's not Jing'er's choice." Old Lady Su sighed.
Having said this, within two days, the streets and alleys of Macheng Mansion were full of notices, and the emperor's holy decree announced to the world that Su Chenjing, the former prince of Pingbei, was the prince of the former emperor who went to the people, and changed his name to Qi Chenjing, and was crowned King An.
Master Su San tore a notice from the street, ran home happily, and showed the notice to Mrs. Su, "Mother, look, Jing'er has been crowned King An, and there is hope for the Su family." ”
The people in the three rooms of the Su family were all overjoyed.
It is the second room of the Su family, and the second master of Su is down-to-earth and calm, and he is very worried about whether this sudden incident is a good thing or a bad thing for the Su family.
His sister-in-law Su Erlang has been doing business with Su Chenjing since he arrived in Macheng Mansion and has gained a lot of knowledge.
Su Shilang was sent to Nanshan Academy by Su Chenjing, and Mr. Yan personally taught him, and his current homework has improved a lot.
Although the two of them were taken aback by Su Chenjing's identity, they still had a touch of worry in their hearts, for Su Chenjing's future, they really liked this big brother in their hearts.
Mrs. Su stroked her forehead, and the notice said that Jing'er was missing, and if she was seriously injured, she knew in her heart that Jing'er must be in danger.
Sure enough, as soon as his life story was revealed, trouble began to find his way.
At this moment, Mrs. Su realized that she was still more worried about Su Chenjing's safety.
"Everything will wait for Jing'er to come back, the second child, the third child, you also go out to find it." Old Lady Su commanded.
Second Master Su, Third Master Su nodded in response, especially Third Master Su, who was full of energy, he was still waiting to find Su Chenjing, so that he could enjoy the upcoming glory and wealth.
Leaving Mrs. Su behind, she was thinking about the future in her heart, and instructed Wei to guard the door of the house and not allow the children in the family to go out and walk around.
At this time, the Su family is as low-key as possible.
When the news outside was getting more and more boiling, Su Chenjing finally returned to Su's house in the early morning of one day when it was still dark.
He quietly went to see Mrs. Su, and no one was alarmed.
Mrs. Su has been sleeping almost at night these days, and as soon as Su Chenjing came in, she woke up.
Looking at Su Chenjing, who had obviously lost a lot of weight in front of her, Mrs. Su's eyes suddenly turned red, and her lips squirmed, but she didn't know what to say after all, and finally chose to be silent.
Su Chenjing knelt in front of Mrs. Su, "Grandmother, I'm back, I'm sorry for worrying you," paused, raised his head, looked at the obvious white hair on Mrs. Su's head, and said in a deep voice: "You must know everything about me, and you must have guessed that my father was because of me....... I'm sorry for the Su family, I'm sorry for you, I'm sorry for my mother. ”
said, kowtowed deeply, no matter what, this is what he owes to the Su family.
If Su Jin hadn't taken him out of the palace, he would have died in the fire a long time ago, and naturally there would be no Su Chenjing in this life, let alone his rebirth.
But because of this, the entire Su family was involved in this matter, and Su Jin died in prison because of this incident.
On the night he knew about his life, he guessed all these things.
Old Mrs. Su suddenly burst into tears.
I don't know how many heads Su Chenjing kowtowed, seeing that his forehead was getting redder and redder, and even blood was oozing, Mrs. Su couldn't hold back anymore, grabbed Su Chenjing, and didn't allow him to kowtow again.
"Your life was bought by your father with his own life, and since you still recognize me as a grandmother, sit down and talk to your grandmother."
Su Chenjing's eyes couldn't help but turn red. r1152
