Chapter 25: Farewell (3)
If He Mian'er was still strong before, Xu Shaodong, who was only five years old, hugged his thigh and cried, and finally couldn't control it, and the tears kept flowing down like beads with broken threads.
When He Mian'er first came to the General's Mansion, Xu Shaodong was just a babbling child, and he couldn't even walk. In just three years, he has grown into a knowledgeable and sensible academy student.
Mo said that he was a child, just a piece of iron and stone, and he had been covering it for three years, and it was time to cover it. In the past three years, the two have seen each other every day, and Xu Shaodong has spent more time with He Mian'er than with his mother.
asked him to separate for a while, the child was crying breathlessly, how could He Mian'er stand it in his heart. In the room at the moment, the old lady kept wiping her tears, sister-in-law Jiang
kept wiping his eyes with a handkerchief, and even Ah Xiang couldn't help but blush.
Not to mention He Mian'er herself, who is leaving, is really heartbroken at the moment, so she is not sad.
It's just that crying and crying, but in her heart, she believes that this general's mansion is no longer a place worth staying in.
Even if you reluctantly stay, there will still be countless grievances and troubles in the future. She knew that Xu Yunqing was a responsible and responsible person, otherwise she would not have had sex with her, and she would never mention marrying someone else.
Maybe in this life, for the sake of the past, Xu Yunqing will be respectful to her and raise her eyebrows. But that's all there is to it, what his intentions are, she used to know how to pretend not to understand, but now it is very clear.
Life seemed long but short, and she couldn't bear it. is unwilling to trap Xu Yunqing in it, let him carry moral shackles, and spend this life with a person he doesn't love. She is also unwilling to endure this stagnant, unsympathetic life.
Even if it is a case with eyebrows, it is difficult to calm down in the end!
She finally decided to let Xu Yunqing go and let herself go.
The old lady thought that He Mian'er was the most soft-hearted, but when she saw Xu Shaodong crying like this, she couldn't bear to leave.
Several people hugged their heads and cried for a while, He Mian'er finally calmed down, although tears still fell from the corners of her eyes from time to time, she was able to speak. She squatted down and hugged the young Shaodong, the child's body was soft, crying and trembling, and the two big round eyes were completely narrowed into a slit.
"Shaodong, my aunt has her own way to go, you must ...... in the future" Speaking of this, He Mian'er couldn't help choking again. She paused, sniffed, and then admonished: "Shaodong must listen to your grandmother and mother in the future, and be an upright man." ”
After finishing speaking, he finally couldn't control it and hid his face and cried.
Xu Shaodong heard that his aunt was still leaving, so he pouted and began to sit on the ground and cry again.
"Shaodong, you still remember what your aunt said before, you have to listen to your aunt and be a good child. Now, my aunt wants you to stand up. He Mian'er sniffled while holding back her tears and ordered Xu Shaodong.
Xu Shaodong cried and cried, but he listened to He Mian'er's words the most, and got up from the ground at the moment, although he kept sobbing, his body finally stood firm.
Seeing this, Sister-in-law Jiang hugged her son distressedly and said, "Mian'er, you might as well wait and see what the uncle says when he comes back." The old lady also said to help: "The person who went should come back soon, Yun Qing knows that you are leaving, and will definitely rush back non-stop." ”
He Mian'er didn't want to see Xu Yunqing, so she shook her head and said, "No need." "Make up your mind, it's better to leave now, if Xu Yunqing comes back, it will be even more difficult to leave.
She was about to leave, but Sister-in-law Jiang immediately grabbed her and said, "It's better to wait, Mian'er, wait for Uncle to come back." Emotional matters, the two of you discuss, we don't mix. ”
As he was talking, he saw a person rushing in from outside the door, who was the person sent out by the old lady to deliver the news to Xu Yunqing.
When the old lady saw it, she was overjoyed, beckoned the man over and asked, "But what does Yun Qing have to say?" ”
For a while, He Mian'er only felt that her breathing was a little stagnant, as if she had a faint expectation in her heart, and she made up her mind that no matter what Xu Yunqing said, she would not waver, and she would definitely leave today.
I saw that the man was nervously wiping the sweat from his forehead in full view, bent down and bowed his head and said, "Little damn it, it's a step too late, the young master's team escorting Chen Wangfu's family to Fujian has already set off." ”
As soon as these words came out, the old lady leaned back on the back of the chair as if she was deflated, and said, "This is fate." He waved his hand at the moment and motioned to Sister-in-law Jiang to let go of He Mian'er.
"Mian'er, it's my old woman who can't stand you, it's my Xu family who can't stand you! If you want to go, let's go, up and down the Xu family, no one is allowed to stop you. After the old lady said this, she was full of tears.
She didn't know that He Mian'er had a letter of resignation written by Xu Yunqing in her arms, so to speak, any day in the past three years, as long as He Mian'er wanted to, she could leave at any time, and no one could stop her. When the Xu family was the most difficult, she did not leave.
Now the Xu family has a thousand taels of gold given by the emperor, and the wealth that has been spent for several generations. And she wants to leave, who can stop her.
The old lady's words are heaven in the Xu family, and no one dares to stop it again.
"In the future, if you think about it at any time, come back. As long as my old lady is alive for a day, this general's mansion will be your home. The old lady continued softly.
He Mian'er knew that the old lady finally respected her choice, tidied up her clothes at the moment, and kowtowed respectfully to the ground three times.
This knock is full of grievances with Xu Yunqing, as he said in the book of concubines, whether this life is life or death, it has nothing to do with it, and he doesn't know when he meets in the future.
Another knock is to thank the old lady and Sister-in-law Jiang for their care. Although the Xu family is a rule-oriented, the old lady has never deliberately made things difficult, and Sister-in-law Jiang has always been attentive to her.
This last knock is to break off the relationship with the Xu family, Xu Yunchang saved her life that day, and she took care of the Xu family for three years, which should be offset. So far, she has no entanglement with the Xu family compound where she has lived for three years. After that, I will be a stranger.
After three knocks, He Mian'er got up quickly at the moment, and went straight to the door without looking back, as for what the people behind her thought, she didn't care.
The General's Mansion occupies a huge area and the terrain is tortuous. He Mian'er walked for a long time, and she could still hear Xu Shaodong's heart-rending cry behind her, but she wanted to come with her, but was stopped by Sister-in-law Jiang.
The child's cry made He Mian'er can't help but shed tears again, but she didn't look back, she knew that her road was ahead.
Stepping out of the Xu family's house, the door behind him closed heavily. He Mian'er looked back at the plaque hanging high - the five big characters of "Zhengyuan General's Mansion" were shining with gold and very imposing.
He Mian'er finally took a deep look at the plaque, and thought secretly in her heart that she would have nothing to do with this place in the future, and for a while, she was a little dazed in her heart.
