Chapter 20: Going Out
Su Zijin couldn't help but groan in the face of his grandfather's sudden emotions and questions.
Grandmother Tao patted the old man and looked at Su Zijin, "Your grandfather is angry that your mother hasn't come back once for so many years, and he is a little resentful in his heart, he loves your mother the most." Back then, we thought there would be no queen, but who knew that we had your mother. Your grandfather raised your mother carefully from a young age, and took her with him wherever he went. Even when your mother opened her mouth to go into business, your grandfather did not hesitate and fully supported her. Who knows that some relatives of the Chang family originally played the abacus of your mother, as a woman, to inherit the Chang family's business after marriage. Your mother suddenly had the idea of doing business, and those relatives couldn't sit still and joined forces to frame your mother. Your mother's personal maid was betrayed and almost implicated in your mother's life, and since then, your mother has been disheartened and has changed her character. ”
"Now my grandmother is telling you this, she wants to tell you that people sometimes have a blind eye, and they are all instilled by the people around you, and what you think is the most important."
Tao took Su Zijin's hand, "Although you only arrived home yesterday, your grandfather sent someone to follow you secretly from your father flying pigeon to pass the book. On that day, you were in danger and killed the bandits, and when this news came back, your grandfather didn't sleep all night. On the one hand, he is worried about you, and on the other hand, he also says that you are not an ordinary little girl, and you are more determined than your mother back then. That's why he can't wait to tell you about your mother's past today and want to see your choice. Your grandfather and I are both old, and because of your mother, all the relatives around you who have different thoughts have been driven away. For so many years, you are the only one who has come to your side. If you are willing, I will meet with the shopkeeper in the southwest of the Chang family tomorrow, and while we can still show up, we have to let you take over the Chang family's stall smoothly. Presumably your mother also figured it out and asked you to come over. She has communicated many times before, but she has refused in one mouth. ”
Su Zijin looked at his grandmother who was telling the story, and then at his grandfather with a serious face, "I see, I thought it was because I performed well, so my mother and father were relieved to let me come to Shu County, it turned out that from the beginning, they planned to train me step by step, so that I could bear the dangers of the journey, and then find an excuse to send me over naturally." ”
Su Zijin laughed at herself, she thought that her independent soul flashed and was seen by her parents. Sure enough, strength is important, and timing is even more important. It's impossible to say who achieves whom. If she is still the person who followed others and looked at others with her eyes on others, her parents must have found her a good husband to protect her for the rest of her life. But now that she is independent and can endure hardships, she simply let her come out and take over the foreign family to try her beauty. If she can successfully take over the Changjia industry and show the corresponding ability, she will be able to do as much as she wants in the future. If she is not capable, what awaits her is probably to go back to Kyoto honestly and choose a suitable family again.
Thinking of this, Su Zijin looked at his grandfather, "You asked me how I would choose if I were in the same situation as my mother." I'm afraid it's the same as my mother's choice, I choose it with all my heart, and it's a big deal to start all over again. ”
Maternal grandmother Tao sighed, and maternal grandfather Chang Qingzhou stroked his beard, "It's easy to say, but you can do it." Tomorrow I will go with me to see the treasurer of the Southwest. ”
After speaking, my grandfather drank the tea he had poured in his hand and turned his head and went downstairs.
Tao pulled Su Zijin and hugged him in his arms, "Our Chang family is all a tendon." Your grandfather, mother, and you are all straight, and you don't know until you hit the south wall. ”
Grandmother's hand, with deep hand lines, dry and warm, caressed Su Zijin's cheek, "Originally, we wanted you to play for a few more days, step by step." It was your father who sent a message from Feishu, saying that let's be straightforward, you have a straight temperament, and this is the easiest to accept. My son Jin'er came to Shu County, and he should have played for a few more days, so that their grandfathers would have made peace, and it would have been more difficult. ”
Su Zijin doesn't like intimacy, but enjoys the caress of the elders, leaning on the arms of the old lady, feeling the warmth of the similar atmosphere, Su Zijin is lazy, "Father still understands me." You also said that I have the same straight personality as my mother, so it's good to get straight to the point. I can't say that I will take over the southwest as soon as possible, and you and your grandfather can go to Kyoto to reunite with your mother! My mother is thin-skinned, she is embarrassed to come to Shu County to bow her head, you take your grandfather to Kyoto, the family, what is going on? There is no shame in bowing your head. ”
Tao smiled, "My son Jin'er is bright, much better tempered than your grandfather and mother's donkey, that is, they are all a family, what's wrong with lowering your head first?" Remember, you will have to do this in the face of people close to you in the future, what's wrong with being soft? Do you have to bend rather than bend to have backbone? ”
"Well, grandmother, I listen to you."
Su Zijin was well-behaved.
After enjoying the affection from the next generation for a while, Su Zijin straightened up, "You don't know how much your mother misses you." You say she's been condescending since she was a child, but you know what? Kyoto's Leyuyuan, she didn't dare to go up to Kyoto for so many years to take a look, I didn't know why before, but now I know, it turned out that she was afraid of touching the scene, and she missed her father and mother. ”
The old lady's eyes were red, and her well-maintained round face was wrinkled, as if she was holding back her emotions, "When I see your mother next time, I have to hammer her shoulder a few times to get angry." ”
Su Zijin stretched out his arms and hugged his grandmother, "I'll help you." ”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"Is this someone putting paper kites? I actually flew here. ”
Suddenly, a butterfly paper kite appeared above the corner tower, and Su Zijin pointed at the paper kite to change the topic.
Grandmother Tao wiped the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief, looked in the direction of the paper kite, and pointed along the line, "It's a few girls from the Xue family who are putting paper kites." The Xue family is the county keeper of Shu County, and it has a relationship with our family for several generations, and they often move around on weekdays. One day, my grandmother introduced you to each other. ”
"Hmm."
Su Zijin didn't take it to heart, she was used to it, in her past and present lives, she didn't get an extra emotional experience because of her elders, but felt cumbersome. In her heart, in addition to blood, only when the three views coincide can they become friends.
Early the next morning, Su Zijin resumed his routine.
I was getting up for morning exercises, and after washing up in the morning, I went to greet my grandmother and grandfather, and had breakfast together by the way.
"Shopkeeper Shen arrived last night, after eating in a while, you and I will go with me to meet Shopkeeper Shen. The trade routes in the southwest are in his hands, let him introduce you to our business. During this time a year ago, you followed the shopkeeper Shen to find out the business in the southwest. During the Chinese New Year, several big shopkeepers will come back, and then it will be the time to test you. ”
It seems that he wants to make up for the time, and his grandfather can't wait to let Su Zijin grow up.
"Yes, grandfather."
Su Zijin agreed. Her grandfather's arrangement coincided with her thoughts.
