Chapter 35: The Covenant
"And how did you find me?" Su Yunjiao only temporarily cooperated with him in acting.
Wen Qian's expression was complicated, and he said: "Back then, your mother broke with us and insisted on marrying Su Jingxuan as a concubine, and your grandfather was very stubborn, and he never let the family inquire about your mother's news. ”
Su Yunjiao saw that what he said was sincere, and began to be skeptical, so she tentatively asked, "What is my mother's name?" Where do you live? ”
Wen Qian smiled bitterly: "Your mother's single name is a Yuanzi, her family lives in Yangzhou, and her family has been in business for generations, she has never worried about eating or drinking since she was a child, and she is also the pearl held by her parents and brothers in the palm of her hand. ”
Su Yunjiao chuckled in her heart, and what she said was right, but she deliberately said: "You are mistaken, my mother is from Suzhou, and my grandfather is just a showman, who is a scholar and a scholar." ”
This is Aunt Wen's statement to the outside world, and Cheng'en Gong Su Jingxuan also acquiesces, but in private, Aunt Wen still told her daughter about her origins.
Wen Qian was anxious, he said: "Impossible, I inquired clearly, your mother is my sister-in-law who has been away from home for ten years, and you are my niece!" ”
Su Yunjiao frowned when she saw this, and asked, "Then why didn't you go to my mother, but came to me instead?" "Don't you think she's a small person and easy to deceive.
Who knows that Wen Qian smiled bitterly and said: "Your mother's temper is the same as your grandfather's stubbornness, looking at the gentle and gentle, in fact, the eight cows can't pull it back, I don't want to recognize her, but how resolute she broke with the family at the beginning, how much she couldn't let go of her heart, how did you tell her to wipe her face." ”
Su Yunjiao was silent, no one knows her mother better than her, her temper, if her daughter is put first, then face is second, this is indeed an embarrassing thing.
Wen Qian saw that she had figured it out, so he took out half of the jade pendant and asked expectantly, "Have you ever seen the other half of the same jade pendant?" ”
Su Yunjiao touched her neckline, and slowly pulled out a red thread from it, and half of the red line was pendantd, and after the owner's cultivation, it looked warm and soft.
Wen Qian sighed and said with relief: "The fruit is good, the family's business was blocked, and a palm-sized piece of white jade was obtained from the ore that was opened, and it also faintly emitted a faint fragrance, which is strange to say, and borrowed a large amount of money on the same day to turn over the business and get through the difficulties, and the family said that this jade came by coincidence." ”
"And then?" Su Yunjiao looked at the jade pendant in her hand and realized.
Wen Qian continued: "Then I invited a master who specializes in carving jade to carve the jade into a pair of carp leaping dragon gates, half of your mother, half of me, huh." ”
After speaking, he put the jade pendant in his hand and Su Yunjiao's hand together, and the two fish jumped up next to each other, which was simply vivid.
Su Yunjiao believed it now, she took back the jade pendant, but in the face of Wen Qian's expectant gaze, she didn't call out the "uncle".
Wen Qian was a little disappointed.
Who knew that Su Yunjiao lowered her eyelids and said: "It's not that I don't want to recognize you, if I call you, it will be equivalent to me admitting that my mother did something wrong, in the heart of being a child, my mother worked hard to give birth to me, no matter what, I will stand on my mother's side." ”
Wen Qian was stunned, and a smile appeared on his face and said: "It is said that my daughter is my mother's intimate little padded jacket, and today I can be regarded as a teacher." ”
Su Yunjiao couldn't help but sneer when she heard this, her black grape-like eyes full of smiles.
Wen Qian looked at his hands a little itchy, speaking of which, the family is full of leather boys, and there is no girl, and he and his wife also want a fragrant and soft little girl.
Su Yunjiao felt the top of her head being gently touched, and pursed her lips, although she couldn't call her uncle, it shouldn't be anything to let her uncle touch her head.
"Child, let your mother and mother be wronged, you don't have to be afraid in the future, you have an uncle to support you." Wen Qian withdrew his hand, a look of love on his face.
Su Yunjiao nodded lightly.
"Do you like to eat this pear? I'll pick some for you and bring home. Wen Qian began to roll up his sleeves and prepare to pick pears.
Su Yunjiao was taken aback, why does this uncle look unstable at all, and he still can't climb trees?
Wen Qian didn't want to climb the tree, he was old, and he couldn't afford to toss his old arms and legs, besides, his niece was still here, in case he fell, how ugly it would be.
He walked around the tree, chose a large one, stood on tiptoe and stretched out his hand, and easily plucked several pears.
He looked at his niece's adoring little eyes, and his face was silent, but he was actually very proud.
"Thank you." Su Yunjiao took a few pears and thanked her sweetly.
"Huh! Next time you want to eat, tell your uncle, and he will bring you a basket. Wen Qian smiled heartily.
Su Yunjiao smiled slyly and said, "Then I want to eat lychees, can you bring a basket?" ”
Warm Depth: ......... Ahem! My niece's requirements are a little higher.
"What's this, uncle will bring it to you next time." Wen Qian gritted his teeth and said.
Su Yunjiao was surprised, she was just joking, she never thought that this cheap uncle would really respond.
She pondered for a while and pleaded: "My mother's personal maid forsythia knocked her head and has not woken up yet, if it is convenient for you, I would like to ask you to ask a doctor with good medical skills to take a look." ”
"What's the trouble here, I'll bring a doctor over tomorrow, and I'll let him go back with you to show the maid." Wen Qian agreed very happily.
Su Yunjiao was overjoyed, and her recognition of this uncle was also deepened.
"It's been a while since you came out, and if you don't go back, your mother should be worried, right?" Wen Qian reminded Su Yunjiao.
Su Yunjiao was stunned, her face was slightly anxious, and she said: "Then I'll go back first, and when Lan Lan comes over, she will say that I'm worried that my mother will find me to go back first." ”
"Go ahead." Wen Qian waved at Su Yunjiao.
Su Yunjiao returned to the farmhouse courtyard.
"Miss, you're back." When Qing'er saw her coming back, she hurriedly stepped forward and wiped the sweat from her forehead with her own handkerchief.
Seeing that she was holding a few ugly fruits in her arms, she couldn't help but be surprised: "Miss, what kind of fruit is this?" I've never seen it before. ”
Su Yunjiao's face was red, and she said lightly: "This is the Ma pear that Lan Lan told me, you will wash it and send it over later, and if your mother asks, do you know what to say?" ”
It turned out that she resolutely refused to let Qing'er follow when she went out just now, but now that she thinks about it, she really did the right thing, and now she hasn't let Qing'er completely stand on their side, and some things naturally have to be hidden from her.
Qing'er hurriedly said, "The slave knows." ”
Su Yunjiao nodded, it seemed that Qing'er should be subdued as soon as possible.
"Coming back? Where have you gone? Aunt Wen heard her daughter's voice, lifted the curtain, came out, and asked with a smile.
"Mother, I'll walk around here." Su Yunjiao lowered her head and said obediently.
"Okay, come in and tell my mother what you saw." Aunt Wen smiled and beckoned to her daughter, but because Su Yunjiao lowered her head, she didn't see the complicated color in her daughter's eyes.
Su Yunjiao thought to herself, if she said that she saw a living uncle, she was afraid that she would not scare her mother.
