Chapter 7: Surface Effort
Su Yunlai was immersed in her own thoughts, until she heard Su Wen's disgusted words: "Look at you, and think about it, Zhan'er is fine." ”
In fact, Mrs. Su looks down on Chen's point the most, she cries and cries at every turn, and makes a fuss about a trivial matter, she has always admired a cool and capable woman, so even if she tried to slow down her tone, the expression on her face was a little stiff.
Chen quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and Mrs. Su Wu smiled and relieved the siege: "The second sister-in-law is also a mother's heart, and caring is chaotic. ”
Mrs. Su Wu stepped forward and shook Chen's hand, "Second sister-in-law, don't worry, Zhan'er is fine, it's just ......" She glanced at Chen with some words and stops.
Chen knew that her son was fine, and her heart was much more steady, and when she saw that she wanted to stop talking, she raised it again in her heart, and the fifth wife said apologetically: "It's just that Zhan'er has been sick again in the past two days, so she didn't come out to greet the second sister-in-law." ”
When Chen heard that Su Zhan was sick again, he was anxious: "Zhan'er is sick again?" But it's serious, I, I want to see him. ”
Hearing Chen's words, Su Yunlai saw that Old Lady Su's brows sank slightly, as if she was reluctant, and even Mrs. Su's eyes showed a slight look of embarrassment.
But even so, Mrs. Su still nodded: "She is a mother, the child is sick, she must go to see it, the fifth family, you follow your second sister-in-law to see Zhan'er, and by the way, see if he has taken medicine well." ”
Mrs. Su never forgets to show that she is a good grandmother who cares for her grandson, even if this grandson is not her biological grandson.
Chen was anxious to see her son, and she didn't forget her daughter, she glanced at Su Yunlai with some hesitation, Su Yunlai traveled all the way, she must be tired, and the relationship between the brother and sister has always been bad, Chen was a little hesitant for a while, I don't know whether to let Su Yunlai rest or follow her to see Su Zhan.
Su Yun saw her embarrassment, so he stepped forward and grabbed Chen's hand, and said thoughtfully: "Mother, I'll go with you to see the third brother." ”
Chen thought about it, felt that her daughter had been sensible and considerate along the way, and she also wanted her to be closer to her brother, so she was also relieved, she nodded, and held her daughter's hand tightly, as if she had found a support.
Since the Chen family went to Lingnan with Su Zhixun to take office, Su Zhan moved to live in Mrs. Su's Lingyun Courtyard, which is the first among the juniors of the Su family, even if he is a man, Su Zhan should be living in the outer courtyard, but because Su Zhan's health is not good, he has always been a particularly detached existence of the Su family, and this special is like the preferential treatment given to him by Mrs. Su alone.
Su Zhan is only one person, but the place where he lives is not small, one person occupies a separate courtyard, in addition to the bedroom study, there is also a small living room for guests.
Chen was so anxious that she couldn't wait to see her son immediately, and after leaving the capital, she hadn't seen Su Zhan for more than half a year.
Chen entered the courtyard, and the little maid guarding the door was stunned for a moment, and then recognized Chen, and hurriedly saluted: "Second wife, fifth wife, seventh miss." ”
"Where's your young master?" Mrs. Fifth asked imposingly.
The little maid saw so many masters for the first time, and she was nervous and speechless for a while, but it was the big maid Mingyue next to Su Zhan who heard the voice and walked out.
Mingyue saluted, and then whispered back: "Second Mrs. Hui, the third young master has just drunk the medicine and rested." After a pause, she glanced at Mrs. Fifth quickly, and then said in a low voice: "In the past few days, the third young master's old illness has relapsed, and the old doctor has come to acupuncture for treatment, and the young master has been stable for several days." ”
When Chen heard this, her brows furrowed, and her eyes were also stained with a layer of mist, her son was sick, and she wanted to replace him.
Su Yunlai gently handed over the handkerchief and comforted Chen in a low voice.
Chen wiped the corners of his eyes and lowered his voice: "I'll go in and see him, don't make any noise to him, don't make any noise to him." The last voice was as light as a mosquito fly, as if he was afraid of disturbing Su Zhan.
Mingyue couldn't help but glance at the fifth wife, the fifth lady looked at her nose and nose, as if she didn't see her eyes, Mingyue said, "Second wife, please." ”
Several people walked in lightly, and Chen even covered his mouth, afraid that he would cry.
Su Zhan is fifteen years old this year, and his appearance is like his father Su Zhixun, gentle and handsome, but because he has been sick all the year round, his body is too thin and thin compared to men of the same age, and his face is abnormally pale.
At this time, Su Zhan was lying on the bed, his face was fair and almost transparent, and he was sad to see Chen.
Not being able to be by his son's side has always been Chen's most guilty place.
Su Yun looked at the room without a trace, the room was clean and tidy, and Su Zhan's things were also put aside, it seemed that he was carefully taken care of.
Su Yunlai glanced at Mingyue, who was standing on the side with low eyebrows, and she suddenly thought that in the previous life, when the Chen family left the capital, the eldest girl Zisu beside her, stayed to take care of Su Zhan.
But later, I don't know why, Zi Su was sent out, and this bright moon was by Su Zhan's side.
Mrs. Wu also wrote a letter to Chen to explain this matter, and Chen also wrote to ask Su Zhan at that time, and Su Zhan only replied: "If you don't use it, you will send it away." Chen didn't want to ask any more questions.
The Chen family would not make his son unhappy for a maid, even if this maid was his confidant, and later the Chen family sent a few maids back, but no one was reused to serve by Su Zhan's side, and later the Chen family saw that Su Zhan was doing well, and he didn't say anything more, worried that it would displease Mrs. Su.
Although Chen is timid and cowardly, he is cautious and cautious in dealing with his children.
In the last life, Su Yunlai had a bad relationship with Su Zhan, and he didn't care much about this brother, so he didn't know much about this matter, but he vaguely remembered that there was such a thing.
Now it seems that Su Yunlai understands that someone shaved off the people around Su Zhan, just to insert his own hands in.
Seeing that Su Zhan was asleep, although his face was a little bad, it was fine, and Chen was also relieved, Chen didn't want to disturb Su Zhan, so he followed the fifth wife out of the room.
The fifth lady beat a few maids again in front of the Chen family, and first said that she should take good care of the third young master, and the third young master can't leave anyone around her, she must be cautious and careful, take good care of it, and she will be rewarded.
Chen was very grateful for Mrs. Five's concern, and Mrs. Chen patted Chen's hand with a smile: "The second sister-in-law is polite, Zhan'er is also my nephew, and I also watched him grow up, they are all a family, and it is inevitable to talk about thanks." After a pause, she said: "What's more, you and I are both mothers, so I naturally understand the second sister-in-law's motherly heart." ”
This Mrs. Su Wu is really a delicate character, and the Chen family who said it in a few words is grateful and comforting, saying that Su Zhan is her nephew, but in the end, it is just a layer of separation between the in-laws and nephews, so she said that she pities Chen's 'motherly heart', both of them are mothers, which is always the same.
Chen sighed and sighed twice.
The fifth wife was relieved: "Second sister-in-law, rest assured, Zhan'er is filial and will be fine." After a pause, she said with concern: "It's the second sister-in-law, who is tired all the way, and it must have been hard work, and Ah Wan must be tired, so let's go back and rest early, and it's not too late to come to see Zhan'er tomorrow." ”
The fifth lady said again: "Zhan'er is a filial child, if you let him know, you will guard him as soon as you come back, I am afraid that I will be uneasy in my heart." ”
Su Yun glanced at the fifth wife, and the fifth wife really deserved to be Mrs. Su's favorite daughter-in-law, and her ability to speak well and persuade people was first-class.
