Early in the morning, I asked the housekeeper Li Bo to help prepare the sedan chair, and I want to go back to Su Mansion to have a look. It's been more than a year, and I don't know if Mrs. Su will think of me occasionally. Aunt Yun is proper, I asked her to go to the treasury and pick out a few things that I can handle, which can be regarded as my heart for Su Fu.

I didn't sleep well last night, I woke up as soon as it was dawn, and I didn't lie in bed like before, and when Xiaoye came into the house with a basin of water to wake me up, I was already dressed and sat in front of the bronze mirror and chose a hair ornament. It's not that I like to dress up complicatedly, but I want to reassure Mrs. Su and let her know that I am doing well in King Xuan's Mansion.

I have no relatives and no reason in the capital, except for Li Xuan, Sufu is my only support. After recognizing Master Su as my father-in-law, I lived in Su Mansion until I got married, and I was known as Miss Su to the outside world.

Master Su is an honest official, and the mansion is not particularly spacious, so in order to make my stay comfortable, he specially ordered someone to build a separate garden for me. Mrs. Su was afraid that I would live in her house, so she often took me to a famous clothing store and jewelry store in the capital to choose clothes and accessories, she said that a girl's home is like a flower blooming on the branches, and she must grasp the good years and marry a wishful man, so as not to waste her life in vain.

Before I got married, Su Fu bought me a large dowry, clothes and jewelry, everything, and I couldn't use it up for most of my life. Accustomed to the simplicity of fat powder, I rarely use these things, and a lot of clothing and ornaments were given to the maid by me, but there are still a lot left.

Xiao Ye smiled and said that I have a lot of treasures, I can open a jewelry shop, I asked her to help me see that the headdress looks good, she pointed to a hairpin inlaid with ruby in the mirror box, I asked her why she looked at this alone, she shook her head and said that there is an eye.

I am wearing a white color today, if you match a plain hairpin, it does not look pale, the ruby hairpin picked by Xiaoye is simple in style, the color is gorgeous, the jade is clear, it is really good. This girl's vision is not bad.

After eating some porridge and water, I pulled Xiaoye out of the house, and sat in the sedan chair all the way, feeling a little apprehensive in my heart, I haven't been back to Sufu for so long, I don't know what the situation of Sufu is now?

Su Ji is not a high-powered courtier, just an ordinary civil official who repairs classics in the Hanlin Academy, and his mansion is naturally not like the Xuan Wangfu in a prosperous area, Su Mansion is separated from the Xuan Wangfu by several streets, and the sedan chair man went around a secluded alley to arrive.

When Xiao Ye helped me out of the sedan door, my palms were sweating, probably because of the timidity of my hometown, and I was very nervous.

When the old housekeeper saw me, he called me "Miss" excitedly, and he ordered someone to run in quickly to spread the word, Master Su went to the court, and only Mrs. was in the house. I asked Xiao Ye to hand over the gifts I brought from the palace to the old housekeeper and went straight to Mrs. Su's residence.

The old housekeeper didn't walk as fast as me, and shouted me behind me, I felt strange, I lived in Su Mansion for a few months, and I was very familiar with this house, the old housekeeper's voice was mixed with worry, he was not worried that I was lost, but what was he worried about?

Every grass and tree, every house and tile in the house is the same as I remember, almost nothing has changed here for more than a year, and I walked through the corridor, getting closer and closer to Mrs. Su's bedroom, and I couldn't help laughing. When I got to the door, I stopped, got my hair cut, and then pushed the door open and stepped inside.

I couldn't believe that the woman lying on the bed with a pale and withered face was the gentle and tender Mrs. Su, who looked weak and weak, and fell asleep quietly, and I moved my lead-filled legs, unwilling to admit that this was the woman who cared for me like a mother.

I squatted down beside Mrs. Su's bed, tears swirling in my eyes, I covered my mouth with my hands, afraid that I would cry, my eyes were blurry, hot tears couldn't help but slide down my cheeks, I bit my lip and whimpered. The old butler stood at the door, and when he saw this, he let out a long sigh and withdrew.

I stroked Mrs. Sue's hair, which had been black and smooth, now lost its luster and was dry and rough. There was a heavy dark halo under her eyes, and I noticed the strong pungent smell of medicine in the room, which lasted for a long time, and Mrs. Su had taken the medicine for several months, to say the least.

She was so sick, how could Li Xuan not tell me? I was kept in the dark, like a fool, Mrs. Su treated me like her own daughter, but I didn't even wait for a decoction when she lingered on the sickbed, how could Li Xuan put me in such an unfilial situation?
