Everyone had a good night's sleep. The next day, as soon as it was dawn, my father-in-law came to announce the decree.

After kneeling on the ground, the imperial eunuch read out the holy decree in a shrill voice: "Wenchang governs the root, Duan Deputy Yulong, the Chaogang belongs, and the election of the people is here." Wei Yuqing lived up to the trust, assisted the prince, disappointed me, made me sad, did not abide by his duties, forced the villain to mislead the king, endangered the court, and degraded the national system. I am deeply grateful. Now it is popular, banished for 2,000 miles, and driven to Wusu Province. Zoer"

It seems that the Su family's luck is not very good, and the exile of two thousand miles is extremely terrifying for everyone who has lived in the capital since childhood, and even the boudoir rarely comes out, not to mention the female dependents at home, even for adult men.

However, thinking about the exile of 2,000 li compared to the Zhulian Nine Clans, it is already very good. It's better than the above. In several large criminal cases it is lesser too.

Under exile, there are thorny faces to fill the army, this kind of officials who have been confiscated for serious crimes, life is much more difficult than those ordinary people who join the army, the officials who are confiscated have no force, and once they arrive in the barracks, they will be assigned to the death squad, and they are slaves and maids in peacetime, and they are the first to bear the brunt of the war. Very few people survive, like those who want to turn around through military exploits.

There is another item under the army that adult men are beheaded, and underage men are enslaved, and female dependents are not included in the official family music shop, in other words, official prostitutes. This kind of family will not have a chance to turn over.

Now, exile is eight hundred li, one thousand miles, depending on the distance of exile. They were 2,000 miles away, and if they wished, they could return to their places of origin in the event of amnesty. Although the places of exile are sparsely populated and uncivilized, remote areas. As long as a certain amount of wasteland is reclaimed and taxes are paid, there is no big problem if you are not allowed to leave without permission.

The Su family was exiled to the northeast of the Jiaqing Dynasty, and its geographical location was no different from that of ancient times on earth. The land is stiff and the weather is cold. The current Northeast is not the big granary of now, and some are just desolate. There are many wild animals such as large insects and wolves, and people often freeze to death in winter. Everyone thinks that this place is uninhabitable.

In ancient times, these areas have not yet been developed, and people's resistance is generally low, often because of the water and soil adaptation and illness and death, in the case of modern science and technology development, people to another strange place to live have to be cautious, not to mention the ancient inconvenient transportation, on the way often encounter beasts and poisonous insects, so the number of people who died. Moreover, it is enough to walk for two or three months for two thousand miles, and coupled with the pressure of the officials who escort the prisoners, there are generally very few people left when they arrive at the destination.

When the cell boss escorted them out of the cell and came to the post station, Su Jingyun and the others arrived earlier than them and were waiting, and when they saw them helping the old lady in, they hurriedly greeted them. asked each other about each other, and when they saw Su Jingyun, the twin brothers and sisters rushed over excitedly, Su Jingyun's face was not very good, but he still asked them a few words gently, and comforted the two of them.

asked Qingling a few more words, and looked at the little ball in Qingling's arms, the big name Su Yunyao. Touched his head, Xiao Tuanzi was not afraid, I don't know if he still remembered his father or didn't recognize his life, he was touched, he just looked at Su Jingyun seriously with big eyes and blinking, cracked his mouth and smiled, leaking out a few millet teeth and looking well-behaved and smart.

Looking at the children, Su Jingyun's eyes flashed, and they seemed to be darkened, and his eyes seemed to be dyed with ink. If someone told him before that he Su Jingyun couldn't protect a few children, he would definitely sneer a few times, he did have this capital, not to mention his birth, that is, he was eighteen years old and even junior high school three yuan, and finally being pointed out as a flower is enough to give him a reason to be proud.

Now, it's ironic, he can't even guarantee that he will make it to the penal colony alive, let alone take care of his mother, wife and children. He looked at Qingling again, and she had been holding the child with her head down as soon as she came in. I knew that I shouldn't have remarried, so that she would have to suffer with her children.

Hey, it's come to this, it's useless to think about it.

When the old lady who was being supported saw her sons, she came to her senses, and excitedly touched her sons next to her with her hands, and even her concubine touched his head, but looking at the old lady's face, the joy of everyone who had just met was gone.

The old lady's time is running out, and when she was in prison, everyone guessed that the old lady was well maintained and had not suffered much before this, and she looked like she was only forty or fifty years old, but in fact she was already in her sixties and seventy years old, which was already considered a high life in ancient times.

During this period of time, the fear made the old man's body a little unbearable, and there was another reason why he didn't want to increase the burden on his children. She had already made up her mind to die.

"I'm relieved to see that you're all well. No matter what happens in the future, you all have to live well, and remember to let the Su family's incense pass on. ”

The old lady looked at each of her sons reluctantly, proud and reluctant, and each of her sons was very good.

When the brothers heard their mother's words, their eyes were red, and Su Jinglan choked up and persuaded, "What does mother say, you will live a hundred years old, and you will watch Yun Yu get married and give you a great-grandson." ”

Yun Yu is the eldest son of Dafang. He also cried and nodded, "Grandma, you still want to watch me get married and give you a great-grandson." "The eyes of the whole family are red.

Qingling, she didn't cry, just a little sad, in her memory, the old lady was an extremely sensible, wise old man, very good to several daughters-in-law, and good to Qingling. It has never been difficult for Qingling, and the twins have always been raised by the old lady. She also knows Qingling's difficulties.

The old lady looked at the sad family and said with relief, "You, my body, I know, I have been with you for so many years, I have long missed your father, and now I want to accompany her, I think I can be buried with him after I die, we said okay at the time." Boss, you have to promise me. ”

Su Jinglan lowered his head and tears dripped on the ground, nodding constantly. The old lady looked at the eldest son reluctantly, and said, "I'm going to die, but I still have something to worry about." After speaking, she reached out and held her daughter Su Mingzhu's hand tightly. "It's all my fault, I delayed your sister, I was always reluctant to let her marry early, I always wanted to keep her for a few years, and finally I picked one of them, and I came to withdraw from my relatives when the disaster came." I'm sorry for you."

When Su Mingzhu heard this, she finally couldn't suppress her crying and said, "Mother, it's not your fault, don't leave me, don't leave me." ”

The old lady patted her back with her hand like when she was a child, looked at her sons and daughters-in-law and said, "You are all married, and you have your own little family to take care of, but you are such a girl, my mother knows that it makes you embarrassed, but you must take care of Mingzhu." ”

The eldest lady and the second wife wiped their tears and nodded one after another, saying that they would take good care of the sister-in-law, firstly, the old lady has always been kind to them, and secondly, the sister-in-law is also a good one.

Su Jingyun's brothers were also busy saying that they would take good care of their sister, they were just one sister, and they would always love her very much, and they never thought of anything that was not burdened.

The old lady propped up her body again and explained: "I'm leaving, you can't keep the system for me anymore, eat what you should eat if you can." You still have a few little ones, as long as you eat well, a few brothers support each other, and it is filial piety to me to survive well. After saying this, the old lady reluctantly looked at her son beside her, closed her eyes and went peacefully.

Seeing the old lady die, the family began to cry.

Qingling comforted Xiao Baozi, he was frightened by the death of the old lady and the crying of adults, and now he doesn't understand what death is, just watching adults cry and be afraid. Small children are sensitive to adult emotions. Seeing that he fell asleep, Qingling was relieved.

Because they had to wait for everyone to go on the road, there were two families whose verdict would not come down until tonight, and they could stay at the post house for one night, but fortunately they could stay for another night, and the brothers came to scrape together money to buy a coffin, and they took the money to find someone to be accommodating, and they took the head of the cell to send someone to the trust and a friend to help, so that the old lady and the old man were buried together.

After a busy night, the adults of the family did not sleep, only a few small children slept next to each other. The dust finally settled, and I came out of the cell again, although the environment was not good, but I finally had a bed, and I saw my father again, and the children went to sleep peacefully.

Because of the fear and worry for several days, the children slept deeply, and some even snorted, looking at the sleeping faces of several children, several women were also much relieved, and they also had the confidence to work hard for the future. Even for the sake of a few children, you have to live well
