Chapter 65: Homecoming
Xiaoxing overnight, the stars fall and the birds fly, all the way to the capital, not far away is the Xutu Temple outside the city, May day, just after the Qingming season, there are many men and women who go out to go out.
"The sun is so good."
Cui Ranxin lifted the curtain and looked at the blue sky and white sun with half-squinted eyes.
In front of the carriage, a group of young men and women playing, a group of people held umbrellas and fans, smiling and smiling.
It's just a hurried back, Cui Ranxin also sees the heart fluttering, three years of valley and country life, I haven't seen this beautiful picture scroll in front of me for a long time, not like the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River, the shallow smile of the beauty pavilion, just the youth as a companion, hand in hand with the beautiful color of youth.
Cui Jiu'an hit the horse, and the dust raised by the carriage startled a young lady in the pedestrian and complained softly: "Which coachman is so ignorant of the rules!" ”
"Sister Shen, you definitely didn't see the appearance of the coachman, I think it's not much better than the prince." The smiling girl whispered.
"Sister Lu, I'm afraid that your eyes are not good, I don't believe that there is a man in this world who is more handsome than the son of the world, let alone a coachman?"
Shen Xinrong's index finger poked Lu Yi's forehead.
"Don't believe it, I'll ask my fourth brother to find out to me when I go back, whose handsome son is it, I don't believe he's a coachman with that kind of bearing."
Lu Yi, who had his mouth cocked, still looked greedily at the carriage that was far away.
Although Lu Yi's voice was very small, it was still heard by the girl in front of her, who was dressed in lake green.
I saw her smile and turned around and said, "You two are full of nonsense, and you are not ashamed." ”
"Sister Dye Shu, and asked us if we were ashamed, who was wearing the same color gown with the prince today, was it an appointment?" Shen Xinrong joked with a smile.
"You...... Don't talk nonsense, the prince and my sister have a marriage contract, you must not make fun of me. ”
After Cui Ranshu finished speaking, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of the long back of the front dressed in turquoise green, and his heart trembled slightly.
Under the pressure of the family, she has not decided to marry for three years, and now she is sixteen, and her mother will not let her willfully mess around with anything, thinking of this, her expression is sad.
"Speaking of her, I really miss her, I don't know if it's okay, it's been three years." Lu Yi sighed after speaking.
"That's right! If they don't come back, will you and your big brother be so empty? ”
Shen Xinrong knew that she didn't count on the son, but Cui Jiuxuan was also dignified, and his character was also good.
I have already reached the end of the year, and my mother is interested in the eldest son of the Guogong Mansion, who knows that the old lady actually refused, saying that now the eldest son and eldest daughter of the big house have not returned, and they have no intention of marrying and talking about matchmakers.
"They're all gone, let's keep up."
Cui Ranxin didn't want to talk about it more, so she beckoned Shen Lu and the others to catch up with them.
A horse-drawn carriage shuttled through the streets and alleys, and the young man in the carriage was white and tender when he left in the wind and sun, but he grew a little bit of a man's heroic hair, and his ingenious face was still stunning.
The girl in the carriage was restless, no matter how beautiful her skin was, she couldn't hide her inner embarrassment, and she lifted the curtain and asked nervously: "My hands and feet keep calling, and I keep shaking." ”
"My own home, what's there to be nervous about." Cui Jiuan said with a smile.
"You said my mother saw me, what should I say?"
"I don't know how to say it, just keep your mouth shut."
"Will my mother and grandmother dislike me for being unruly?"
"It's like you had rules when you were a kid."
"Oops! I was really nervous. Cui Ranxin took the other party's hanging hand.
Cui Jiuan looked back and said softly: "Wait a minute, you just have to cry, they miss you and love you too late, how can they blame you for hating you." ”
Being stared at with such a stable look, Cui Ran nodded comfortingly: "Hmm." ”
The carriage stopped at the main entrance of the Guogong Mansion, the red lanterns hung high on both sides, and the stone lions stared at each other, and Cui Jiuan immediately drove the carriage to the side gate that was always open.
The guards guarding the door looked at the unfamiliar carriage, and wanted to expel it, and then look at the two people who got off the carriage, although they were dusty and ordinary, but the two pairs of eyes unique to the Fu family made them recognize at a glance that they were their own young lady.
Thinking of the two people who were dressed in fine clothes and food at the beginning, now they look like this, their sadness is hard to hide, they actually have a sour nose and tears in their eyes, and they stepped forward to greet them: "Son, Miss, you are back." ”
Cui Jiuan nodded slightly, but Cui Ranxin patted the other party's arm movingly and said, "Don't cry, we're not coming back." ”
Such a gentle and approachable Cui Ranxin made the guards cry even more.
As soon as the two of them entered the mansion, someone over there had already gone to report, and after a while, Mama Fu helped Fu Qingluan, who was full of joy and sorrow, out of Qingguiyuan.
He Luo, who was in the pavilion over there, led the Qingshi sake, and left Tuiyun Lanyue to rush to Qingguiyuan, and there were also people in the second and third rooms who went to report it.
Cui Ranxin saw the emaciated woman, and the Jiaozuo in the car had long been forgotten, so she just ran away in a daze, and got into Fu Qingluan's arms, now she is taller than her mother, so she shrunk down and rubbed her mother's chest slightly like a child.
Mama Fu helped Fu Qingluan, who was floating in her footsteps, only to see her being disturbed by the beast, caressing the girl's back and long hair, her scarlet eyes could no longer suppress the loneliness in her heart, and tears were like rain, wetting the top of the girl's hair.
The two cried bitterly for a long time, and the servants below were also pitiful when they saw this, Fu Qingluan cried so much that she couldn't breathe, and Mama Fu hurriedly put away her sadness and said with a smile: "It's good to be back, this is a happy thing, don't cry anymore." ”
Hearing this, everyone hurriedly agreed, and it took a long time to persuade Fu Qingluan to stop his tears and smile.
"My mother only cares about loving my sister, but she forgets me."
Fu Qingluan had long seen Zhu Qingsong's thin eldest son, but he didn't care about him to grow up, and it was not good to hold him in his arms and be intimate, but he didn't know that he would say so, so he hurriedly beckoned, pulled the person into his arms, and the three of them hugged each other tightly.
"How could my mother have forgotten you, my good An'er. I look forward to you day and night for my mother, thinking about you. As he spoke, he burst into tears.
"Childe has been getting younger and younger in the past three years, and the lady has only been able to hold back her tears, why do you bother with her." Mama Fu said out loud.
"Mama, this is so unreasonable, she can hug her mother and cry, but I can't?" Cui Jiuan just hugged Fu Qingfeng and didn't let go.
Mama Fu smiled and patted Cui Jiu'an's back like when she was a child, and her movements were extremely gentle. Cui Jiuan narrowed his eyes in reluctance, and sure enough, this made him more comfortable.
"You are all my children, and my mother loves them."
Fu Qingluan burst into tears and smiled, holding the two people in his arms who were much taller than him with difficulty, but he was very happy in his heart.
The two of them were pulled by Fu Qingluan, and it was not easy to talk to He Luo and Qingshi Qingjiu, who were waiting behind them, and nodded at them with a smile to say hello.
Talking and laughing, the group went to the easternmost Wanhe Hall, which was where the old lady Cui lived, and the second lady Huang who came to hear the sound on the way was greeted again, and the third lady Su had been waiting in front of the hall with the old lady before the Wanhe Hall.
The old lady didn't wait for anyone to come to the front, trembling and supporting Mama Liu and Mrs. Su beside her, stepped forward, holding Cui Jiu'an's hand with one hand, and holding Cui Ranxin's neck with the other, crying again.
After the conversation just now, knowing that they had lived freely in the past three years, Fu Qingluan was in a better mood, so he persuaded the old lady: "Mother, don't be sad for them, they have been like birds out of the cage in the past three years, not to mention how free and happy they are, why should we be extra sad here." ”
"You are a mother, but I, an old woman, have been thinking about it day and night for three years, and I finally saw it, and I still don't let me shed a few tears and pretend to be pitiful?"
"Grandmother, it's all our bad that worries you."
"My five girls, as long as you can speak, grandmother is willing to wait another ten years."
"Grandmother ......"
"And my An'er, I have taken good care of your sister in the past three years, and I am afraid that I have suffered a lot?"
"Xin'er is well-behaved and sensible, and my grandson has never worried about it."
Saying that, the three of them were sobbing and sad again.
"Unfortunately, your eldest brother went far away, Shu'er went to Qingqing again, Yuan'er and Fan'er did not return from school, and someone will pick them up and come back, inform them, and they will eat with me at night."
Everyone listened to the instructions and hurriedly got ready, and the group went into the house to talk about their life outside, Cui Jiuan did not elaborate, nor did he mention the matter of apprenticeship, only said that he was afraid of the recurrence of the disease, so it took three years. Cui Jiuan didn't say it, Cui Ranxin also tacitly didn't mention it, only said that the herbs and beasts in the mountains, and the folk customs of various places.
