The night before leaving, Su Zhong tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

got up and looked at Su Shan, who was sleeping soundly on the side, quietly left the bed, opened the door and went out.

The moonlight was like a flower, and San'er was sitting at the threshold, holding his chin and counting the stars. Wormwood strips were burning on the side, keeping mosquitoes away for her.

San'er is squeamish and can't stand the heat the most, and he can't sleep well at a hot night. He often went over to fan her and coaxed San'er to sleep before returning to the room.

In the blink of an eye, San'er's pigtails were replaced with a total angle, and Xiao Tuanzi became a busy man. I'm afraid I'll see you next time, like a horse high, like a green onion, like a lotus.

I really can't leave! is about to leave home, Su Chong feels a lot and is reluctant.

Su Zhong supported his knees with both hands and leaned over to San'er, "Is it hot?" Go in and sleep, I'll fan you. ”

"As long as you're squeamish, kapok isn't too hot." Sue nodded her forehead.

Su Lingyu waved his hand and slapped that hand away, "I know you can't sleep, so I will accompany you." She patted the small bench next to her and motioned for Su Zhong to sit down.

Su Chong sat down and hadn't spoken to San'er for a long time.

Looking at the night sky at home, I don't know when I will be able to watch the moon with San'er!

"If you go this time, you won't be back until three years later. This is the first time you've been away from home for more than three months, and it's the first time you've been away for an extended period of time. You said you couldn't bear it, and I couldn't do it. My mother didn't dare to cry, for fear of affecting your sleep, so I tossed and turned for a long time before falling asleep. ”

He also listened to his mother's breathing before he dared to go out and sit.

"My mother is worried, it's true that you often write back in the future." Su Lingyu took out a pair of insoles and handed them to him, "I have two gold leaves hidden here, keep them for emergency use." This is your last life-saving money, don't give it to your confidante. ”

Su Chong, who took the insoles, blushed, "Nonsense, who did you learn this?" Where did the confidant come from? ”

"Su Shan went out to travel, and brought fifty taels, too much. When you go out to the academy, you take five taels with you, less. You are different from Su Shan, Su Shan follows his father, has a brilliant nature, believes in the kindness of human nature, and no amount of money is enough for him to spend. ”

"You are not like your mother's cowardice, not like your grandmother's pungency, you would rather sacrifice yourself than fulfill others. This kind of person is the most terrible, if I see it, I will stay away, so as not to be angry and suffer from it. You and I have a blood connection, and I can't stay away from it. Just a few more words to remind you......"

Su Lingyu looked at Su Chong, and Zhengse said: "Su Chong, remember that there is no one in this world who is more important than your own life, even if it is your parents." When you go out, you would rather hurt others than protect yourself. ”

"Why?" Su Chong was frightened by these words, these practices were completely different from the thoughts that Mr. taught him. How can one be so selfish?

This time she was more serious than any time, and met Su Chong's eyes, "Because you are too soft-hearted to be selfish." ”

Su Chong didn't understand, since he couldn't do it, why did he want him to do it?

"When sacrificing oneself does not change the overall situation, it is important to save oneself from being sacrificed. I hope you are not the second father, and you would rather lend money to others if you are miserable. ”

"San'er." It's not right for you to say that, you can't say that about your father as a child.

Su Chong didn't say this, because he knew that San'er was right.

When he wanted to ask something more, San'er had already gone back. Su Zhong looked at the courtyard and was distracted, why did San'er tell him these words? Do you have to be selfish?

The young Su Chong couldn't understand this truth, and as he grew older, he always recalled the conversation of this night, and "sacrificing oneself" and "not being sacrificed" often appeared in his mind.

When he was confused, this was his guiding point, but because of these two words, his reputation was half good or bad, and he became the most talked about courtier in the history books.

…………

Before dawn, Su Li and Su Zhang got up, took the servants to tidy up the cages, and prepared food for the children. Boiled a lot of eggs and let them take them to eat on the road.

The children are about to go away, and Su Zhang is very reluctant, but he can't stop them. You can only keep an eye on the children and let them eat more so that they don't get hungry on the way.

"Mother, enough, enough is enough, I can't eat it anymore." Su Shan touched his stomach and said, "Why didn't San'er get up?" ”

It's true, San'er didn't get up.

Su Zhang wanted to call her, but was stopped by Su Chong.

"She went to bed late last night, and now I'm afraid she hasn't woken up. You let her sleep more. ”

"You're going to travel far away, San'er is here to send it off. I'm going to call her. ”

San'er had already woken up, but his eyelids were fighting, and his head was like a chicken pecking rice, dozing off little by little.

Su Zhangshi entered the door, lit the oil lamp, guarded the oil lamp close to the bed curtain, and saw San'er sitting and dozing off by the bed. The little round head lowered and raised again, and the eyelids struggled to open them, but they couldn't open them.

It's funny to see her like this.

Su Zhangshi put the oil lamp on the side of the cabinet, "San'er, San'er can still sleep?" ”

Su Lingyu tried to squint a slit and saw the person clearly, "Well, don't sleep." ”

Su Zhang carried her out, brushed her teeth and washed her face, and combed the corners of the two bags. "Awake?"

"Hah...... Owe! "I'm sober enough to last a while.

She sat down at the table and waited for the servant to bring her white porridge before she spoke: "Are you ready?" ”

Su Shan said: "There is nothing to prepare. ”

Su Zhong said: "It's almost. ”

Su Lingyu bowed his head and buried his head in eating porridge, and the dried white radish with white porridge in winter was the most delicious. She couldn't help but eat a few more dried radishes.

By the time she had finished breakfast, they were ready. Su Chengqi took the slave and loaded the carriage and waited for the horn to leave.

Su Chengqi ate an egg, "It's not early, it's time for us to go." ”

Su Lingyu and Su Li held hands and sent them out together, Su Zhang hid behind his back and wiped his tears, not daring to come to him.

Su Zhong turned around three times in one step, leaning over to look at the mother behind him, "Mother, don't worry, I will be back soon." ”

He bowed his head and said to Su Lingyu: "You take care of your mother at home, write to me if you have anything." Go to the post station to find Lao Hu Tou and ask him to deliver urgent letters, do you understand? I taught you. ”

"And don't worry, I'll protect you at home." Su Lingyu said with a smile. Raising his hand and touching the forehead of the big radish, "Let's go." ”

Su Zhong said goodbye to his grandmother, then ran to the team, and was helped by his father to climb into the carriage.

Su Chengqi waved to the people at the door, "I'll send them to the city." So saying, he got on the wheel and drove the carriage.

Su Shan stretched out his head from the car window and waved to his family, "Mother, grandma, I will miss you." Take care of your children. ”

Su Shan is a bird that flies, he can't wait to travel the world, he believes that parting is for a better reunion, and parting should be cheerful.

However, Su Zhong was more emotional, and actually cried.

really responded to the sentence "Men don't flick when they have tears, but they haven't reached the sad place." ”
