Chapter 15: Mother and Son Meet
Chen Zui finally returned home, and under the narration of the housekeeper Chen Song, he heard about his grandfather's current physical condition, and his heart was extremely heavy.
sighed heavily in his heart, and said to Chen Song on the side, "Then I will see my mother first, and then I will go to greet my grandfather after he retires and returns home." ”
"Very good. The old slave will lead the way for the little master. ”
As he spoke, he led Chen Zui towards the inner house. Only two submissive guards were left behind and continued to guard in front of the door.
It's not that Chen is drunk and generous, and he doesn't hold accountable the guards who made things difficult for him just now. It's just that now in my mood, it's really difficult to entangle with that portal, just wait for the future to mention some people in charge, and restrain the people in the mansion not to worry about themselves.
Chen Zui followed Chen Song all the way into the inner mansion, and saw that the scenery in the mansion was roughly the same as before, and a familiar feeling arose, and he suddenly felt warm in his heart.
This is what it feels like to be at home.
Shaoqing, passing through the familiar courtyard, Chen Zui, under the leadership of Chen Song, had already come to the outside of his mother Qin Su's house.
Chen Song didn't knock on the door, bowed slightly, and said outside the door. "Has the young lady woken up?"
"Is it Uncle Chen?" a familiar voice came from inside the room.
It's the mother's voice.
Although more than eight years have passed, Chen Zui still recognized his mother's voice at the first time, still so softly whispered, and still so heartwarming.
Hearing his mother's familiar voice, Chen Zui was very excited.
With a "squeak", the door slowly opened, and Chen Zui finally saw his mother as he wished.
For more than eight years, Qin Su is no longer so youthful and moving, and Shaohua has left traces on her face. He looks a little haggard, and there are some wrinkles at the corners of his eyes... But even so, in Chen Zui's eyes, his mother is still as young and moving as before.
Children don't think their mothers are ugly, and they have been there since ancient times. What's more, it's still for Chen Zui, who has been away from home for eight years.
"Mother. ”
Chen Zui suddenly knelt down in front of Qin Su. Even if he said all kinds of words, he couldn't say it at the moment, but he just choked up and exhaled Qin Su, and all his thoughts were in this piece of language.
"Drunk... Drunk, are you drunk?" Qin Su couldn't believe what he saw in front of him, the heart-to-heart sensing of mother and son confirmed that this was his son, but the son he had been looking forward to for many years was now in front of him, but Qin Su was not sure. Although I can still vaguely feel that Chen Zui's face is so familiar, but for more than eight years, Chen Zui in my impression is still that well-behaved and sensible child.
Happiness came too suddenly.
"Mother, children are not filial. After eight years away from home, I am back now. Failing to fulfill his filial piety in front of his mother and serve his parents, the child felt ashamed. ”
Chen drunk cried, Chen drunk, who had never wiped his tears in the deep valley for eight years, cried. Seeing this touching scene, Xingtian in his soul also put away his temperament and was extraordinarily quiet.
Qin Su choked up and said, "It's good to come back, it's good to come back......"
She cried too. The son he had been looking forward to for a long time finally came back, and he stood in front of him in good health. The day he had been looking forward to for so long finally came, but he couldn't speak, so he had to hug Chen Zui's head tightly and comfort him.
At that time, Chen Zui only left a note and ran away from home. She never thought that Chen Zui was just to comfort her family, but in fact, there was no strange master to save her at all. There has been no news for many years, in fact, she herself has thought many times that Chen Zui is likely to be dead. But there is still that glimmer of hope in my heart.
Now that his son appeared in front of him, although Qin Su was crying, he was also glad that his child was finally alive, and it was not in vain that he burned incense and prayed every day to pray for his safety.
Chen Song, who was standing on the side, also moistened the corners of his eyes again, wiped his tears with his sleeve, and then said to the mother and son who were still hugging and crying, "Young lady, young master has been in the dust all the way, and he must have eaten yet." The old slave will go down and prepare. ”
"Yes, yes, Uncle Chen is thoughtful. It's not like me, when I'm happy, I lose my sense of proportion. Uncle Lao Chen prepared it, and by the way, he made a few more dishes. Qin Su wiped away his tears with the silk silk in his sleeve and said to Chen Song. Then he picked up Chen Zui, who was still kneeling in front of him.
This is what I think about day and night, and it is the blood that I have worked hard to give birth to in October. At this moment, he was standing in front of him so unharmed, Qin Su felt that he had never been so happy.
After Chen Song left, Qin Su put Chen Zui's hand in his palm and patted it, and said to Chen Zui. "My son is as tall as your father was when he was younger. Your father is now guarding the frontier, and he can't go home twice a year, and after the meal, I will immediately send a letter to inform your father, and I think that when your father receives the letter, he must be very excited. ”
"When will my father come home?" asked Chen Zui.
"Now that the cold winter is coming, it will be the wax moon in a few days. If there is a war at this time, it will be very bad for both countries. I think he will be able to spare a few days after receiving the letter. When your grandfather comes back from the morning court, he will also say to him, and then let him go and ask His Majesty, presumably His Majesty will also allow it, and then the family will be reunited. Qin Su said lovingly to Chen Zui.
"Is the situation between Tianji and Da Zhao really so serious? I can't even make the decision to go home for the New Year?" Chen Zui continued to ask.
In the past, although the Heavenly Pole Kingdom also had conquests, but when the year was cold, the two sides would still retreat from each other's troops in tacit understanding. Everyone wants to be reunited at the end of the year, especially for the hot-blooded soldiers who are on the battlefield.
Now, his father Chen Lin can't even return home to reunite at the end of the year, so you can imagine how tense the battle situation is at this time.
When Qin Su heard this, he also sighed deeply. "Your father is now the commander of an army, shouldering heavy responsibilities, and thousands of eyes are staring, how dare he leave his post without permission. What's more, the situation between the two countries is becoming more and more tense, and he can't help it. ”
"Then I can only wait at home for my father to return. Hearing that Qin Su was talking about his father's helplessness and not being able to see his father in time, Chen Zui was also very sorry in his heart, but who made him the son of Duke Wei.
The Chen family is a loyal martyr, who is not iron-clad. Loyal to the country, after death. After being a member of the Chen family, when enjoying this glory, sometimes it is inevitable that you have to pay some.
This may be the sorrow of the gate. The world only sees their superficial brilliance, but it is difficult to experience the loneliness and loneliness of their families thousands of miles apart.
Seeing the loss on Chen Zui's face, Qin Su hurriedly diverted the topic. "Don't talk about those troublesome things, go into the house and tell your mother about your life in the past few years, I think I must have suffered a lot. ”
The conversation between the two had been going on outside Qin Su's door, and after Qin Su finished speaking, he pulled Chen Zui into his bed.
