From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 606

Thinking of her skinny old man carrying big bags on the pier makes Sun Mei feel bad, but what can he do? The family has no relatives in the capital, and if they want to live here, they can only live like this up.

Seeing that her younger brother was downcast, Sun Mei patted his younger brother lightly on the shoulder, then smiled encouragingly and comforted him: "It's okay, isn't there still the two of us? There are many teahouses in the capital, and your book is good. If the family is not good, let's change to another. Besides, we are not lazy, didn't dad always say that as long as people can move in this life, they will not starve to death, let's work harder and work harder."

Letting go of her hand touched his head, Sun Mei smiled and said, "Okay, don't make your mother worry about it. Let's make more than ten taels of silver today and have a good meal. I haven’t eaten meat since I came to Beijing, so let’s buy some mutton and let my mother make a pot to eat.”

Buy two more fish and make a pot of wine for dad. The cabbage and radishes in the vegetable garden are crispy and sweet. Put them in a copper pot and cook with mutton. Tongue off.

But among all the boys, it is estimated that there is no one who doesn't like meat, Sun Jingxing, who has always been fond of meat, was instantly happy.Nodding, he took the silver in Sun Mei's hand and put it back into the cloth bag, then held it tightly in his bosom and said, "Okay, let's go buy it before it's dark, my little brother is greedy for meat and buns, let's Buy ten and go back to eat."

He is the eldest son of five brothers, and he is very sensible at a young age because of the poverty of his family.He began to copy books to make money when he was ten years old, and he came out to speak books to earn money to subsidize his family when he was 12 years old.He has a strong sense of responsibility and loves his younger brothers and sisters so much that his parents didn't worry much about him. This is one of the reasons why he has been able to tell the story without telling the family.

He was also very happy to mention his cute little brother Sun Mei, who just turned three years old. She combed her hair with five fingers into a hook and hid it in a hat casually, saying: "Okay, then let's go quickly, mother will cook again when we get home late."

After finishing speaking, the two swept away the previous haze and decadence and happily went shopping, and when they returned home, there was another burst of joy.

It was night, everything was silent and snowflakes were flying all over the sky, the north wind was whistling and heavy snow was flying.A woman in a black cloak and a hood appeared, walked to the end of a small alley on North Street, and stood at the gate of a fenced courtyard for a long time.

I don't know what she was thinking, but seeing the darkness in the small fenced yard, the host family was asleep, and she stood quietly like a stone sculpture, motionless, without blinking her eyes.

This woman is none other than Mei Xin, the eldest princess of Zhen Guo!
The wind and snow were getting stronger, and Yunying who came with her couldn't help but feel a little worried, fearing that she might catch a cold, she couldn't help stepping forward and asked, "Major General, can you go in and knock on the door?"

Mei Xin didn't say a word, but after standing there for a long time, she finally moved, pushed open the small fence gate and walked in.

The bluestone slabs in the small courtyard with the snow-covered fence had been covered, Mei Xin walked to the center of the courtyard with a deep foot and a shallow foot, and stopped again, staying silent and not allowing Yunying to knock on the door.

I don't know what she meant. Yunying was a little anxious, and after standing in the yard for another cup of tea, he couldn't help but asked again: "Major General..."

As soon as the words came out, the closed door suddenly opened from the inside, and a woman came out. About 30 years old, wearing a half-worn jacket, she doesn't seem to have just woken up, she holds a kitchen knife in her hand and looks alert.

Even though it was dark under the eaves of her without a lamp, Mei Xin could still see her face clearly through the white snow.She has a three-point resemblance to her aunt Mei Linlang, a resemblance to her father, and a little resemblance to herself.Sure enough, the hidden guard heard or found the wrong thing, the woman in front of her was her little aunt Mei Yuzheng who had been missing for many years.

They didn't know each other, and they had never seen each other in their previous life. Mei Xin felt so timid that she didn't know what to say to her for a while.

Auntie?

Thinking about it, she didn't want to return home for many years, otherwise how could she not go home in the capital.Since she doesn't want to be herself, it's better not to embarrass her. After thinking about it, Mei Xin put down her hood, her eyes curled up, and the corners of her lips curled up into a slight smile.

Because she looks very similar to her father Mei Zhannan, Mei Yuzheng cried when Mei Xin smiled.Caught off guard, she didn't know why or what kind of mood she was feeling at this moment, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

Because of the mood swings, she could hardly hold the knife in her hand, she cried like a child but couldn't help it, she covered her mouth tightly with one hand and cried very sadly.

Mei Xin is most afraid of others crying, since she was reborn, she also has some tears.Therefore, she turned her head and touched the box in Yunying's hand, and said softly: "The master of the Mei family has already been feared by the emperor, so as not to cause death, don't talk about the heroic deeds of the Mei family anymore. The chaos in the capital is over." Sheng, if you want, take the children to Liangzhou. The nineteenth city of Liangzhou is the territory of the Mei family. As long as the Prince Liang’s mansion does not fall, as long as the Mei family is alive, the city of Liangzhou will never be destroyed. Don’t worry, My father doesn't know that I'm here, let alone that you are in the capital, if you don't want to, I won't tell him until I die."

At this point, she lightly touched the box, and Mei Xin withdrew her hand and continued: "I know you don't want to use the Mei family's money, so I brought my own money here. This is my income from suppressing bandits and some military pay. I will send it to you." Buy clothes for younger brothers and sisters. You must not refuse, or I will feel uneasy, and treat it as a gift for my younger brothers and sisters. Although my father was not in Beijing, he has always blamed himself for what happened, even though more than ten years have passed It's still hard to rest day and night. My father said that he is sorry for you as a big brother, and if he knows that you are not doing well, he will blame himself even more. So, you should accept it for my filial piety. "

Waving her hand to signal Yunying to put down the box, Mei Xin held back her tears and said, "I have prepared a document to leave the city due to the martial law in the capital. You should leave as soon as possible before the emperor finds out. Whether you are going to Liangzhou or going elsewhere, don't mention it again." The Mei family is half a word, and continue to live incognito in the future. Since you chose to run away from home, everything in the Mei family has nothing to do with you. In the future, whether we are prosperous or rich or our lives are hanging by a thread, it has nothing to do with you. , You must keep this in mind.”

With a desolate smile and sadness welling up in her heart, Mei Xin clenched her fists involuntarily, and said again: "This is how relatives are, breaking bones and connecting tendons. Although I don't know why you suddenly returned to the capital, I think you must want to know about my father's life." Injuries. You don’t have to worry, my father is already dead, and he will recover after another year or so. The eldest aunt is fine in the palace, and the uncles are all in good health. As for the grandmother..."

"She is also very good. You don't have to worry about it. You will never come back after you leave the capital. Speaking of which, I haven't kowtowed to you yet. This parting may not see you again. I will give you a New Year's greeting in advance Go." After finishing speaking, Mei Xin knelt down on her knees and bowed to her.

　I don’t know why I cried when I wrote it, are you moved?I don't know, it's late, I'm going to sleep, I'm busy like a spinning top every day, I want to keep spinning, come on!
