Chapter 17: Returning Home (2) (1st Update)
Su Su thought of Liu Dongyuan when he saw the gifts sent by the people of Heiyuan Town, and was secretly sighing in his heart that he was really worried about his life, when he heard a burst of heavy footsteps coming quickly.
She frowned secretly, listening to the footsteps, it should be a man who came, which person is so unruly?
Hong Feng saw that his mother didn't continue, so he hurriedly pulled her sleeve, "Mother, what's wrong?" ”
Su Su shook his head, "It's okay! I just want to ask the butler to accompany you for a while, and go out to toast the people who come to the banquet, and thank them for coming to my mother's birthday party. ”
As he was talking, he heard that someone had entered the living room outside, and the pig and Linlang who were guarding the door didn't speak, Su Su was just about to go out to have a look, and what did he think, he was in place!
The man who can call Pig Pig and Linlang to put into the main room, who else can there be besides the male owner of this family?
Su Su stood up, but the steamed bun was startled, and before he could speak, he saw that the curtain of the study's tender green embroidered dark green bamboo branches was lifted from the outside, and Hong Sheng, who had not been home for three months, walked in.
Su Su looked at Hong Sheng in surprise, "Why are you back?" ”
Hong Sheng's tanned and rough face softened unconsciously when he saw the mother and son in front of him.
Hearing Su Su's words, he didn't care about his son's presence, and took out a cloth bag from his arms, "I got a new piece of good material, and asked someone to carve a bracelet for you, I wish my daughter-in-law a happy birthday!" ”
Su Su didn't expect Hong Sheng to learn to give gifts now, you know, this girl handed over all her private rooms before, and gave her three words, "Spend it casually!" ”
Thinking so, she reached out and took it, opened the cloth bag and looked at it, she was really amazed at a glance.
The material of this bracelet is the seed jade in the mutton fat white jade at a glance, the style is a blessing bracelet, the carver is the orthodox Su Gong, the two bracelets use relief techniques, and the carved patterns are different.
There are a few bits of milky yellow in the white mutton fat jade, which looks like a few drops of mud have been thrown on the white paper, but the jade carver uses the skillful carving method to carve a few bits of milky yellow into a few vivid bats.
Hong Sheng took Su Su's hand and put the bracelet on Su Su's left hand, Su Su stretched out his hand to see, this is the meaning of "blessing in front of you", if you hang your hand, it becomes "blessing has arrived!" ”
The other bracelet is white, with a milky yellow strip on the surface, which is skillfully carved into a gourd vine.
Su Su looked at it and said curiously: "How is it a gourd vine, there is no gourd?" ”
Hong Sheng glanced at his son, who had been shrinking behind Su Su since he entered the house, and his heart was sour and astringent, it was not good for him.
When his wife and children needed him the most, he was not around, and some things still needed his wife and children to do everything for him.
Hong Sheng knew that Su Su had never liked publicity, and on his previous birthdays, he just invited some relatives and friends to sit down and have a light meal. Now that the situation is chaotic, why is it extravagant and wasteful?
It's not for him to appease the hearts of the people of Hamiwei.
I heard that in other frontier guard posts, the daughters-in-law and children of the generals were secretly sent away, but who knew that they were exposed by people with intentions, which caused a panic among the people.
If it weren't for Mrs. Qin personally going over to appease her, the people would have already begun to flee in groups, and I am afraid that it will affect their morale at that time.
Therefore, those generals, even if they were in high positions, one of them was still the commander of the guard, but they were still locked up by Liu Dusi on the charge of disturbing the morale of the army.
Because of the presence of spies in the barracks at the beginning, Liangzhou Wei suffered heavy losses. And if Hami hadn't played a good show with King Ke and Hong Sheng, I am afraid that he would not have escaped the catastrophe.
And the commander of the Liangzhou Guard, who was not originally a spy, but his only son was kidnapped by spies in the camp.
The commander of the Liangzhou guard is nearly forty years old, has one wife and eight concubines in the family, and gave birth to five daughters, but there is only such an only son.
On weekdays, I was afraid of holding it in my hand, and I was afraid of melting it in my mouth, not only promoted the concubine who gave birth to this only son to the second wife, managing the inner house, but also squeezed the genuine wife and the daughter of the grandmother into the side courtyard to live, which is really precious for mothers and sons.
There are not many people who know about the Bai family, and there have always been people secretly monitoring those Bai family daughters.
But no one expected that these Bai family ladies didn't know anything, and they didn't even know that they actually had Tatar blood on their bodies.
When the real spies were exposed, those in the know knew that these Bai women, who were half Han and half Tatar blood, were just abandoned children, and even the network of relationships woven by them from generation to generation was just to confuse the public.
The commander of the Liangzhou Weiwei never expected that the woman who had been by the pillow for more than ten years and gave birth to a son for him turned out to be a Tatar spy.
Now he not only threatened him with his son, but also falsified evidence that he had ties with the Tatars and collaborated with the enemy and betrayed the country.
There are only two ways in front of him: he chooses to be loyal to Da Chu, not only will his son die, but he will also be charged with collaborating with the enemy and betraying the country.
If he chooses to be loyal to the Tatars, the beautiful concubines, and the filial sons, nothing will change, and there will be a large sum of silver for him to squander in the Tatars.
He just doesn't want to die!
Therefore, the so-called loyalty is nothing more than the price of betrayal, it is as simple as that.
Comparing these people and looking at himself, Hong Sheng felt that he might have been a good person in the tenth life in his last life, otherwise why would God have given him a daughter-in-law who makes people envious, jealous and hateful.
Su Su saw Hong Sheng staring at her son, her eyes were red, she thought about it and was afraid that her son would refuse, she was also uncomfortable in her heart, and just wanted to say something, she saw Hong Sheng standing up, and said loudly: "Soldier Hong Feng is out of the ranks, shouting!" ”
As soon as he heard this, Su Su saw his son subconsciously take a step forward, and then he paused as if he had reacted, and after looking up at his father, the little man shouted with the strength of breastfeeding: "I'm Hong Feng, I'm not a little girl!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the room was quiet, and even Pig Pig and Linlang, who were listening to gossip while watching the door in the living room outside, breathed a breath.
Su Su was stunned when he heard what his son was yelling, and then gently stroked the collar of the azure silk robe for his son, and asked, "Steamed bun, what did you just say?" Who taught you? ”
Hong Feng looked at his mother a little ignorantly, "I'm Hong Feng, I'm not a little girl." This is all taught to me by my father, as well as Uncle Yang and Uncle Zhang, ...... "Let his father's eyes twitch, and he is still counting his fingers to her mother, how many uncles have taught him."
And Su Su remembered an "uncle", who was more hateful than the old Wang next door, his surname was Hong!
Hong Sheng looked at the pit father's son, who was about to implicate the entire pioneer battalion, and quickly took out a small purse from his arms, and poured out a small milky yellow gourd the size of a finger, as if he had just been plucked from the vine.
"Mantou, what do you see Daddy brought back for you? This is from the same piece of jade as your mother's bracelet! ”
Hong Feng has seen a lot of such things, and the various gifts he receives every year alone have to occupy a small warehouse.
But when he heard that it was from the same piece of jade as his mother's bracelet, and his mother's bracelet was a gourd vine, and his was a small gourd, so he didn't have such a meaningful thing.
However, after thinking about it for three seconds, Hong Feng decisively accepted it, "Thank you, Dad!" ”
