In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

In the New Year, the capital is full of joy, but the time for happy gatherings is particularly fast. In the blink of an eye, Su Cheng has been back in Beijing for more than half a year, although Su Man does not know why the saint has stayed in Beijing for so long, but he has been in a busy state since he came back from Su Cheng, so it can be seen that they should be planning something in the capital.

The open and secret battles in the court, I am not interested in deceiving Su Man. She just knew that Su Cheng's reputation in China was not so good, even if he fought countless battles for Daliang, he didn't get too much good reputation. This is also inseparable from the style of action he usually shows.

He is unobtrusive, arrogant, and arrogant, and he is not a positive word to comment on him anyway, and Su Cheng doesn't seem to cherish his reputation. From the attitude of the saint towards Su Cheng at the previous Mid-Autumn Festival family banquet, Su Man could probably guess some reasons.

Although Su Cheng, the nominal father, was a little strict with Su Man a few days ago and grounded her, it is a bit abnormal to lose the unconditional spoiling before. But Su Man can still feel this father's care and love for her, so she also cherishes the warmth of the family here.

At this moment, when he suddenly heard the news that Su Cheng was going to return to the frontier immediately, Su Man was a little uncomfortable for a moment. Although the original plan of Sioux City was to return to defend the frontier one day after the year.

And this time it was so sudden because of the urgent report from the border pass, the winter of the Nagong Buluo tribe this year was particularly cold, the harvest was not good in many places, and there was a snow disaster, and now their internal interests are in conflict. Moreover, the old chieftain of their tribe is already old, and when the people are old, they naturally pursue peace and no longer love war. This is also the reason why the northwest has been so peaceful in the past two years.

Years ago, the old chief was ready to sue for peace with Daliang, which is one of the reasons why Su Cheng was able to stay in the capital for so long. It's just that the urgent report said that the chief had suddenly fallen ill recently, and he probably wouldn't live long, and the situation within the Gongbuluo clan was divided, and the forces represented by the sons of the old chief were also at odds with each other.

In fact, there were originally two voices in this tribe, one seeking peace and the other being the main battle. The old chieftain belongs to the conservative peacemaker, but the chieftain of that clan has always been the position of the capable.

There are still many of the chief's young sons who are in the main battle, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not take this opportunity to attack the border of Daliang at this moment to establish their authority and directly replace the old chief. For now, the only way to do this is to let Su Cheng immediately go to the frontier to garrison the position and guard the peace on that side.

"Daddy"

After knowing the holy will coming from the foyer, Su Man immediately ran to Yunhaiyuan to find Su Cheng. It's just that when she sees that the other party is sorting out her baggage, it's time to say something.

In that world, there were too many words of separation from my parents since I was a child. From the initial crying to the later habits, from the long crying video to the last few words of the text. Separation has long been a state that Su Man is used to, but it is different here, and the separation after feeling the warmth of the family again makes her not know how to adapt for a while.

"Let Xiaoman help you clean up together, right? The holy will has come down, when does Dad plan to leave? ”

Su Man neatly folded the few clothes that Su Cheng had just taken out and put them into the package. Sure enough, he is a rough general, just a few winter coats, a few pairs of boots, and a saber are enough to leave home, and a big bag is done on the table.

"Yes, our family will help Daddy pack his bags, what a good boy. Hahahahaha"

Su Cheng was deeply pleased, and the other party didn't cry at him this time, Su Cheng touched the top of Su Man's hair with his hand and laughed a few times, which was really happy.

In the past, the most unbearable parting was the crying of this girl hugging her thighs, begging him not to go to the border, this coaxing is to coax for a long time, and several times I went out of the city in the middle of the night to be a thief.

When I came back this time, I found that this girl seemed to have grown up a lot suddenly, and she was relieved but also a little lost, Su Cheng felt that she was even more dispensable in the mansion.

"Say, whatever you want to do today, my father will promise you. The sage has given your father permission to set off early tomorrow morning to return to the frontier."

Su Man looked at Su Cheng's action of quietly rubbing the back of his neck, and reported urgently, where can I delay the time until tomorrow morning, this father probably just wants to hurry up at night.

She pursed her lips slightly, looked up at the other party, and said seriously

"Dad, since the sage's decree is an urgent report from the border pass, you better leave early, Xiaoman wants to have lunch with you and your mother again. The road is far away, and the border is also in crisis, so Dad must pay attention to safety. ”

Looking at the daughter in front of him who really understood a lot, Su Cheng felt even more indebted to this child, and nodded slightly sourly

"Good!"

Without Su Man's crying, a simple lunch before the family of three parted, and a few people did not say much during the banquet, after all, it was time to separate again, and silence was better than sound at this time.

Su Man saw Princess Splendid touching his sleeve many times before and after the meal, and it looked like a purse brocade bag with dark brocade patterns was hidden. There was also worry and reluctance in the eyes of the other party who looked at Su Cheng from time to time, but every time Su Cheng looked at her, she glanced away.

Su Man also saw reluctance in Su Cheng's eyes when he looked at Princess Jinxiu, there was no dialogue, and there was no eye to eye. The two of them have twelve babies in Suman, can't they be honest between old husbands and wives? What's awkward?

Since ancient times, affection has been ruined by misunderstanding, and Su Man felt that Xu was present, and it was inconvenient for the two of them to talk about themselves. She found a random person to break up and let the two of them be alone for a while.

Feeling that the atmosphere in the lobby of only two people was even more cold and awkward, Su Cheng took a sip of tea from a teacup, looked outside the house, and said directly

"The things have been packed, and I have explained to the housekeeper, and it is time to leave in half an hour."

Su Cheng glanced at his wife who had been hanging her head over there, they were normal, and the other party had never complained anything in front of him. From their marriage to Xiaoman's birth, he didn't have much time to accompany her, he knew that he was unqualified as a husband, and he had always felt guilty about Ling'er (Princess Jinxiu).

In the past, he thought about making amends, and once he won a battle and asked the saint to rest in the palace for three months. originally wanted to fulfill the duties of a father and a husband, but the other party has always been cold and docile, and there is always something missing between the two.

Su Cheng really cares about this wife, because he has no home since he was a child, he always thinks that after having this wife, he will have his own home in the capital. And Ling'er has always been very docile to herself, and she never asks for it. Therefore, he has more pity in his love for her.

It's just that no matter how hard he tries to be good to her, the other party just doesn't have much emotional response to him. And since the two of them were together, he had never seen the smile on each other's faces when he sneaked a glimpse of her for the first time.

In the past, Su Cheng didn't understand until one day he saw the other party peeking at a portrait of a man alone in the study, and he ordered someone to investigate and found out everything. But what if he knows, how to take back the sincerity he has paid, and they have such a lovely girl. He knew that that person might not come back for the rest of his life after leaving the capital, so let him go with the wind.

It's just that now the man is back, and Ling'er hasn't let go of the other party at all. Thinking of this, Su Cheng's eyes darkened, and he said in a slightly cold voice

"Xiaoman is very sensible now, and you have educated her very well. All these years, the mansion is also thanks to you" Su Cheng pinched the teacup and took a deep breath

"I also know that your heart is not in my place, but you are also Xiaoman's mother, she is not yet married, if you do anything unruly, it will have a great impact on her in the future. Think more about Xiaoman, I hope you do it yourself. ”

Hearing this, Princess Splendid just tightened her hand, and she replied respectfully, "Splendid knows"

Su Man, who was hiding outside, watched Su Cheng come out of the lobby quickly, and his face was not very good. When Su Man greeted him, the other party only nodded slightly and left directly.

Why can the two of them still quarrel in it when they are separated? Why is it completely different from what I expected?

Su Man walked back to the lobby lightly and poked his head in, only Princess Jinxiu sat there, looking at the ink-colored brocade bag in her hand with a very good face, and sighed, her eyes were still slightly red.

When the other party saw Su Man's head poking out, he immediately hid the brocade bag back in his sleeve, adjusted his mood and said

"Your father is leaving again, you go out and send it off!"

"What about you?"

Hearing this, Princess Splendid didn't know how to answer, maybe Su Cheng didn't want to see herself at the moment. After all, she made him disgusted, if it weren't for Xiaoman, she might have been remiss a long time ago.

Women often feel that their mothers are more expensive than their children, but in fact, they have always been more expensive than their mothers. Especially emotionally, most of the father's initial love for the child comes from the other party's love for the child's mother.

Su Man saw the worries and entanglements in Princess Jinxiu's heart, such an old couple and old wife, obviously had feelings for each other but did not express it, did they think it was an ambiguous play between young people.

"Princess Splendid Beauty, do you care about Sioux City?"

Unfamiliar tone, unfamiliar title, Princess Splendid raised her eyes to look at Su Man in a trance, feeling that the other party was so strange.

"That brocade bag in your sleeve is for him."

Hearing this, Princess Jinxiu was a little embarrassed to take out the brocade bag embroidered with the word "city", which contained the peace charm she specially asked for for the other party to go up the mountain a year ago. She showed a helpless self-deprecating smile, she didn't have a chance to give it to the other party at all.

"Do you know how many people die on the battlefield every day? Those people simply don't have the opportunity to say goodbye to their families and say goodbye to the world. Don't you worry about him? ”

Listening to Su Man's words, Princess Jinxiu squeezed the brocade bag slightly, how could she not worry, dreaming back at midnight, she dreamed several times that the other party was killed on the battlefield, and after waking up, she never dared to fall asleep again. Every time she thought of this, her body couldn't help but tremble.

"Is it because of Mo Xiyun that you see Sioux City at all?"

Princess Splendid never expected that she would hear the three words Mo Xiyun from Su Man's mouth, that distant name. Because of his reappearance, his relationship with Sioux City has completely fallen to the bottom.

"Su Man, are you questioning your mother? That's how I taught you to treat your elders like this in the past?

Your father does not like to hear those three words, and must never mention them in front of him, never, never......

Did you hear that? Answer me! Did you hear that? ”

It was rare to see Princess Splendid in such a gaffe, she even stood up and walked up to Su Man and grabbed her arms hard, her eyes bloodshot for herself to answer her.

Su Man was also frightened all of a sudden, so that she was still the iceberg princess who was not shocked in the past, and she was not far from the rampage.

Su Man nodded a little frightened, and then Princess Splendid didn't put down her hand, her mouth kept chattering

"He's going to be angry, he's going to be angry, getting angry will affect his thoughts, he must not be distracted during the war, he must not be distracted, he must not be distracted......"

Su Man watched Princess Jinxiu holding her hand trembling all the time, she was afraid, she was afraid that the other party would have an accident, because of her accident. Su Man can be sure that Princess Splendid has deep feelings for Su Cheng, but she doesn't know how to express it. Under the cold disguise is an ordinary woman who is afraid of losing her husband.

It's just the way she looks now, her eyes are dilated, and her mouth keeps muttering, "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's all my fault, if he dies in battle, I won't live alone......"

This is definitely not an ordinary emotional out-of-control, Su Man tried to shout a few times to the other party, but Princess Splendid did not respond. Then the splendid princess actually got up to hit the pillar, but fortunately, Su Man grabbed the other party and quickly made a knife in the back of her neck.

Princess Splendid fainted at once, and the brocade bag in her sleeve fell to the ground. The maids outside all came in when they heard the cries of Su Man inside, and they were so frightened that they were at a loss when they saw their lady fainting.

Su Man could only order them not to be external to the outside world first, help the lady back to the courtyard, and then go to Baicaotang to find Dr. Sun and Dr. Pei.

Su Cheng was almost ready in the front hall and was about to leave, Su Man picked up the brocade bag on the ground and ran out to see him off.

"Dad, my mother won't come out to see her off if she has a headache, and it's the same for me as a representative."

Fang Cai himself said it like that, and if Ling'er didn't come out to see him off, he would naturally understand.

Su Cheng looked at Su Man, who had grown a lot, the originally round face now had a goose egg face, and the slimmed down Su Man at this moment was more and more similar to Ling'er back then, and she looked very cute when she smiled.

His heart with Jinxiu may not be able to go anywhere in his life, but fortunately, the wrong marriage has a well-behaved child. Heaven is also not kind to him Sioux City.

"Dad, at this time, my mother embroidered the purse for you, you put it away. She has you in her heart, but she is not good at expressing it. We will wait for you in the house. ”

Hearing this, Su Cheng was a little surprised, he took the brocade bag into his arms, glanced into the mansion, and saw the person. It's just that the haze in my heart is gone, because all the purses embroidered by this Ling'er have dissipated.

Like a child who got a candy, the uncle actually showed a childlike smile, and then said to Su Man

"When I'm away, you have to listen to your mother. If you don't behave, come back to the family to serve"

“......“

What is it to unload the mill and kill the donkey, cross the river and tear down the bridge, please listen to what this old man has to say, tsk. It was the first time that Su Cheng wanted to go back to his home before he left the city, and he would definitely come back as soon as possible after dealing with the affairs in the northwest.
