Chapter 44: Reunion
The family stepped on that road for five days in a row, and their faces were as steady as old dogs, but in fact, their hearts had been tense with a string.
"Why haven't Auntie and eldest brother come back yet! In five days, the yamen will set off! Su Buwei said anxiously.
"Silence! We can't talk at home, lest the walls have ears, and we can't afford to make mistakes this time! ”
Su Yuanshan frowned and reminded.
Su Buwei shut his mouth in disbelief.
Su Bujing said calmly: "Don't panic, second brother, we are ready now." ”
"Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed, as soon as A-Niang and the eldest brother come back, we will be able to leave immediately, and it is useless to panic now."
Su Yuanshan nodded Su Buwei's forehead helplessly, "You! Not your sister is calm yet, give me a good practice of your sword, don't go around. ”
In this way, the Su family waited until three days before the yamen was ready to leave.
On this day, the people of the yamen gathered all the men in Bai County to go to the gate of the county yamen to listen to the lecture.
Su Yuanshan, Su Buwei and Su Buwei were reluctant, but they still went hard.
If you don't pick at this time and attract the attention of the people above, you will lose all your efforts.
As a result, only Su Bujing was left in the entire courtyard.
Su Bu stood at the door of the hall, looking at the direction of the door for a moment, and silently recited in his heart:
Auntie, big brother, come back soon!
At that moment, the door was suddenly pushed open.
Su Bujing hurriedly stared at it, and saw the person she had been looking forward to for many days.
Coming towards him was Zhao and Su Buyi, who had not been seen for a long time.
I saw that they were wearing thick clothes, satin fox fur cloaks on their faces, rabbit fur hats on their heads, and deerskin boots embroidered with auspicious clouds on their feet, which looked very frost-proof.
Su Buzhen thought silently in his heart:
Well, not bad! It seems that A-Niang and the eldest brother take good care of themselves!
As soon as Zhao and Su Buyi entered the courtyard, they saw Su Buyi, who was looking forward to it, and immediately smiled.
"Ahh A-Niang misses you so much! Zhao wiped his tears excitedly, and almost covered his heart and shouted "My heart is good".
"Sister, put on your cloak! How can you just stand outside? What should I do if I catch a cold? ”
Su Buyi saw Su Buyi, and suddenly softened his face, but he still habitually cared about her.
The two parties have not yet approached, but their hearts are tightly connected at the moment when they meet each other.
As if they had never been separated.
Even if they were reunited on such a wet and rainy day, they would not be affected in the slightest.
On the contrary, as long as you meet the people you want to meet, even the worst weather will become acceptable.
"Auntie! Eldest brother! Welcome home! Su Buyi was so happy that he forgot to hold the umbrella, so he fluttered and rushed into Zhao's arms, and his right hand did not forget to hold Su Buyi's arm.
Zhao hurriedly put the umbrella on top of Su Bujing's head, and he didn't care if half of his body was wet from the rain.
"Ouch! Auntie's good girl! I haven't seen you thin for so many days... Well, it seems to have gained a lot of weight. ”
Zhao's eyes were red and touched Su Bu's face, looking at the round and bulging cheeks, and he couldn't spit out the "getting thinner" to his mouth.
"Hahaha, it seems that Daddy and the second brother take good care of their sister!" Su Buyi answered with a smile on the side.
"Not really! It's obviously me taking care of the second brother! Su Bu was not surprised, and her bulging cheeks turned red from emotion.
"Okay, okay, my sister is annoyed, it's the eldest brother who said the wrong thing!" Su Buyi said as he took Su Buyi and walked towards the hall.
"Huh? Where's your daddy? There is not only and no worry, is this still resting? Zhao looked around strangely.
Although all parts of Yongzhou are now covered with dark clouds, the sun and the moon are dark, but they won't sleep until now, right?
Su Buyi also looked at Su Buyi suspiciously.
The smile on Su Bujing's face froze for a moment, and then said with a straight face: "Auntie, big brother, I have something very important to tell you..."
Su Buxi explained in detail the ins and outs of Yongzhou being forcibly conscripted by the imperial court.
Su Bu paused for a moment, and then said: "The most troublesome thing is that you can't use silver money to offset it... There are four men in our family. ”
There was silence.
Zhao and Su Buyi raised their eyebrows, at this time they already knew the seriousness of the matter.
Who wants to be separated from their own flesh and blood? Not to mention going to a dangerous place like the battlefield.
If you go, you may not be able to come back!
"Is this court dizzy? How do those walking dolls go to war? Go up and die? Zhao was so angry that his face was red.
"Daddy, they've been... Did you go? Su Buyi asked with difficulty.
Zhao also looked at Su Bu nervously, for fear of hearing the news he didn't want to hear.
Su Bu shook his head, "No, the county order just summoned all the men who applied for the army in Bai County, so I should want to knock and knock before leaving." ”
Bai County didn't manage it very strictly a few days ago, and it should be going to leave today, so he called everyone over.
Su Buyi narrowed his eyes, thought about it, and said, "What do you think, stay and die for the Rui Kingdom?" Or..."
Su Buyi remembered the unfinished words behind, and dragged out the tail note meaningfully.
Su Bu said bluntly: "Crazy! Such a terminally ill country is not worth the price of separation for our family. ”
Su Buyi smiled, agreed with Su Buyi's words very much, and asked directly, "Then when are we going to leave here?" ”
Zhao also beat his spirit, "Without further ado, when your father and they come back, I'll leave tonight!" ”
"I don't have to bring much stuff, the things in my space are enough for our family to eat and drink, so we can keep everything simple."
As he said that, the door was pushed open.
The people who came were Su Yuanshan and others.
Su Yuanshan didn't expect to see Zhao and Su Buyi, his face was full of disbelief, and he stammered excitedly.
It took a long time to spit out the sentence "It's good to come back safely".
Su Buwei stepped forward and hugged Su Buyi's shoulder, "Big brother! You're back! We've been waiting so hard for you! ”
Su Bu staggered and hugged Zhao's arm, and called A-Niang and eldest brother with a red face.
It's only been about a month since we've been apart, but it's like we haven't seen each other for a year.
really responded to the sentence "If you don't see each other for a day, you will be separated by three autumns".
There are so many things that have happened in the past month or so.
First the sun and the moon were dark, then the torrential rain, then the cold temperatures plummeted, and the sudden forced levy...
Too much, too much, but... At least the results are good for now.
Su Bu stood aside with a smile on his face, hoping that the joy of reunion after a long absence could last for a while longer.
After the family met, Su Yuanshan suppressed his excitement and began to get down to business: "Jing Niang, now we want..."
Zhao interrupted: "Ah Yu Fang has told us, you don't need to repeat it, we think the same as you, we can't go to war!" ”
Su Yuanshan paused and said with a smile: "Since our family is in order, then without further ado, we will set off immediately!" ”
