Chapter Forty-Eight: Spring Swallows Peck at New Mud
In the morning light, there is still mist on the tip of the grass, and a few rays of sunlight shine through the slender young leaves of the willow tree, mottled on the ground. On the top of the head, I don't know whose spring swallow mouth holds the new mud here, three or two choose to build a nest under the eaves, and from time to time they fall on the ground and are not afraid of people, pecking a little willow leaves, and the yellow beak is particularly tender.
It was still early, but the Su family had already begun to get busy, in the light-colored pavilion, there was half a pot of fragrant tea on the stone table, Wu Muxin sat peacefully in it and sipped tea, watching the cumin in front of him being chased by Su Qinghuang running around the yard, although he was dexterous and dodging everywhere, he was finally grabbed by Su Qinghuang and clamped under his armpit.
"Girl, save me. It was Xiao Cumin's miserable cry for help, Wu Muxin just looked down and watched the tea stalks churning up and down in the cup, but he didn't hear it.
Seeing that the last bit of hope was dashed, Xiao Cun turned his head to look at Su Qinghuang, who was pretending to be vicious, and said pitifully with his eyes of double aura: "Young Master, Xiao Cun is wrong, spare me this time, it is really Xiao Cun's hand that slips for a while, and it will definitely not be like this next time." ”
Su Qinghuang pinched the little girl's fat and smooth face and said: "Confess your comrades, Young Master Ben can consider sparing you, otherwise, you also know how those big families train disobedient little girls." After that, she turned her head and glanced at Wu Muxin, who was staring at Chunyan in a trance, but Miss Wu just laughed and was unmoved.
"I didn't have a party member, I did it alone. Come on, young master, if you want to kill, you have to listen to the respect, if I frown, I won't be called cumin. Xiao Cun closed her eyes, stalked her neck, and said what a righteous and awe-inspiring thing.
"Stinky girl, where can I punish you. ”
Seeing that the time was almost up, Su Qinghuang stopped playing and put the cumin back on the ground. The free cumin immediately returned to the nest like a milk swallow, and plunged into Wu Muxin's broad chest, and Su Qinghuang's eyes were hot for a while.
Li Yan, who was wearing a new satin shirt at this time, respectfully stepped forward and made a mockery to Su Qinghuang and Wu Muxin, and said in a deep voice: "The people of the Su family have all packed up, just wait for the order of the two of you, and we can go out in style." ”
Su Qinghuang raised his head slightly, looked at Li Yan's body, and said with a smile: "Uncle Li's dress is really spiritual, I have never seen you wear this shirt, is it specially made for today." ”
"Hehe, when people are old, they rely on these new clothes to boost their momentum, and they can't go out and lose the face of the Su family. Listening to Su Qinghuang's jokes, the old man was very shy.
"The Su family has a total of thirty-two people, large and small, and now they are all gathered in this courtyard, young master, girl, let's not say a word. The leader of the team, the oldest old man Wen, opened his mouth and said, more than 30 people, old and young, all neatly divided into three teams, each dressed in new clothes and looking forward to it, everyone only felt that there was a breath of swallowing in their hearts, brewing in their hearts.
"Mu Xin, why don't you come and give everyone a boost. Su Qinghuang scratched his head and said with a smile.
Wu Muxin smiled, soft as spring breeze and rain, that smile was so undisguised, clean and thorough, "You are the head of the Su family, that is, I was in charge of a lot of things of the Su family before, and I also handled it on your behalf, and now that you are the head of the family, the Su family should all obey your orders." With these words, Wu Muxin has already given him Su Qinghuang's face, and he has used this to tell everyone who is the real master of the Su family from now on.
Su Qinghuang straightened up from the pavilion, "Then I'll talk about it, I'm just afraid that I'm clumsy, so don't laugh at me." ”
The young master blushed. "There are young people at the bottom.
"Go, go, and make a fool of yourself, and punish you to clean the hut. Su Qinghuang smiled and scared them, looking at the people below, except for a few old people who had dedicated half their lives to the Su family, the rest were mostly just teenage children. was stared at by so many eyes at the same time, no matter in his previous life or present life, he was still the first time.
Su Qinghuang did not rush to speak, but glanced at the stone tablet close at hand in the courtyard, and the Su character on the book was carved by the old lady Su with his fingers. Fifty or sixty years of rain and snow weathering, in which the pen power is still undiminished, the virtual hook to mention the point, look carefully, there seems to be the vast smoke of the river and sea, the meaning is long. After watching it for a long time, Su Qinghuang felt a little sour in his heart, and when he suppressed his feelings, Su Qinghuang finally turned his head and spoke to everyone in a low voice.
"I know that everyone used to have a lot of opinions about me Su Qinghuang, and at that time, there were those who despised me, those who were heartbroken, and those who gritted their teeth. ”
"But today I want to say, perhaps, you are all wrong, Old Man Wen is wrong, Xiao Wei is wrong, and even a wonderful person like Mu Xin is wrong. Perhaps, Su Qinghuang in the past was not so unbearable, and perhaps, he was still worthy of the Su character written on this stone tablet. ”
"At this moment, I don't want to talk to everyone about whether the previous Su Qinghuang was right or wrong, after all, it has been like the water of the Li River rolling eastward, and it will never come back, and the past will pass. ”
Su Qinghuang walked in front of the stele, as if he was an old friend and touched it deeply, the texture on it was delicate, like clotted fat, "Maybe one day, this stele that has been standing for decades will fall down and will be weathered into pieces, but I still hope that the descendants of the Su family in the future will vaguely remember that hundreds of years ago they once had an ancestor named Su Qinghuang, and his actions did not insult the name of the Su family, and did not fall the Su character."
Today's event, I'm afraid that at least a thousand people will come to watch the excitement, I don't know what the strength of the opponent is this time, maybe your young master I will be the last one to fall in the field, maybe, it will be attacked by the crowd, the first to leave. But I still hope that the Su family can show their faces in front of the entire Qingjun fathers and elders, so that everyone can walk in the streets and alleys of Qingjun without having to bow their heads, and let the big guys talk a little more when they gossip with outsiders. ”
"This year is the year of Gengzi, and today's big competition will also be included in the Qingjun County Chronicle, if you can be lucky enough to win the big game desperately and be recorded in the Chronicle, I also think of such a good thing, I can be mentioned by everyone a few words. The most unfortunate thing, the people of our Su family will get married and have children in the future, and they can say to the people in the family, do you know, our young master Su Qinghuang is not as useless as said outside, and he is too, vomiting blood on the stage and desperately standing to the end. ”
These words will be passed on until the day when we pass away in the future, and go down to see our ancestors and ancestors, so that we will not be scolded by the old people for being unfilial descendants. ”
"Actually, young master, since the time when you almost died, everyone has seen what you have done, in fact, everyone has already thought that you are really different from before", at the bottom, Ye Lao said loudly.
Su Qinghuang breathed lightly, looked at a group of pigeons flying from the back mountain, the feathers were flawless, and a large piece of white rose in the wind, like a large piece of snow, and then he was stunned. This is still the former Su Qinghuang who fed in the back mountain. It is said that Jinwu hides Jiaojiao, but he Su Qinghuang has borne so much stigma, and in the end, what he hid was just dozens of pigeons.
"Yes, the Su family knows about Su Qinghuang. Although Su Qinghuang's voice was low, it was extremely powerful, and everyone below could hear it clearly, "However, in the entire Qingjun, what they listen to is only what others expect them to hear." They don't know. ”
Xiao Niu's eyes were slightly red, "After today, Xiao Cun believes that they will all know, know what kind of person the young master is, and know whether the young master can afford the Su family." ”
Su Qinghuang took a step forward, and his voice rose, "That's right, let those people with eyes and beads polish their eyes and take a look, see that my Su family has been dormant for a long time, and it is not a person who can be looked down upon, they took it from the Su family, I will let them spit it back without a word." ”
"Yes, over the years, the Su family has been looked down upon, not to mention the meat that these jackals have bitten off from the Su family. Old Man Wen's voice trembled with indignation, and said, "Even the third Qi who defected out of the court can say that there are a few old people missing in the medicine store, so you can let me wait for a bite to eat." In the end, the old man's eyes were already red.
"When did my Su family fall to such a point. ”
Ye Lao came over silently and patted Wen Lao's back, several old people depended on each other, and they all put their lives in the Su family, which was a lot of bitterness.
Snorted, Wen Lao wiped his snot and said loudly: "Damn, what are the red circles under your eyes, today is a big joy, let's not cry like a girl, it will ruin the prosperity of our young master." ”
Su Qinghuang was happy, looked at several old people standing in a ball, and chuckled: "The old men are also in love, they have been sulking for so long, and the third Qi will definitely be present today, and when the time comes, the old men can watch what kind of expression he Qi Lao San will have." ”
Elder Wen stared at Su Qinghuang's eyes and said slowly: "Actually, my old man has always wanted to say something to you, but I am afraid of adding a burden to your heart and feeling restrained, but today, old man, I feel that it is time to say this." Old Wen was stunned, and then bowed respectfully to Su Qinghuang, and said loudly: "Young master, please strengthen the momentum of my Su family." ”
"Old man, you are an elder, how can this be done. Su Qinghuang was shocked, and was about to step forward to help, but Elder Wen raised his hand to stop him, and immediately after, the thirty or so people lined up behind him also saluted together, and said, "Young Master, please strengthen the momentum of my Su family." ”
Thirty or so people, the voices gathered in one place, not to mention how mighty it was, but the sound came from the heart, and there was a moment that made Su Qinghuang feel that it was the thunder of the Nine Heavens that he heard on the Li River before, and it was not as exciting as today.
"Okay, please come with me to witness the Su family's today. Su Qinghuang waved his hand and said heroically.
The gate of the Su family was open, and more than 30 people rushed out, all of them straightened up, like a benchmark, holding up an atmosphere, so that passers-by gave way one after another.
A child pointed to the low alley and asked, "Mother, who are they?" ”
The woman glanced at it and said softly: "They are the people of the Su family, and they are the Su family who used to be famous in Qingjun." ”
