from widow to dame

Chapter 129

Compared with the panic and anxiety when I came here, the journey back is like an autumn outing, leisurely and ruthless.Yan Hongzhen didn't seem to be in a hurry to return to Beijing, but was taking a leisurely ride in the carriage with his wife and daughter.Naturally, Zhu Ping, the king of Huai'an, also came back with them. Su Huiniang still remembers how he was when he argued hard in front of the emperor.

"Sister Yuan is my savior, my son won't leave, I have to see her recover with my own eyes."

How strange, the son who used to dare not speak loudly and always seemed cowardly expressed his inner thoughts firmly in front of him for the first time.Zhu Chongguo watched him for a long time, and then nodded silently when Yan Hongzhen and Su Huiniang knelt on the ground and dared not dare.

Half a month later, they arrived in Shangjing.

Su Wen, Lin Shi, Chang Run'e, who had received the news a long time ago, all waited at the gate of the city early. The whole family was very excited when they saw it, especially Lin Shi was crying while hugging Sister Yuan. What's more, there is a little sadness in the joy.

"If you survive a catastrophe, you will have blessings." Lin patted Sister Yuan's head sobbingly: "Good boy, return the child."

All the way into the house, Su Huiniang was held by Chang Rune's hands, looked straight up and down, and asked with a little bit of surprise on her face: "Really, really?"

Su Huiniang smiled and nodded generously.

"Bodhisattva bless, Bodhisattva bless!" Chang Run'e moistened her eyes, and said persistently: "When I heard about sister Yuan's accident, we were scared to death. Fortunately, fortunately... I really answered my mother's words. If you survive a catastrophe, you will be blessed!"

"I'll make you worry about it too!" Seeing her being emotional, Su Huiniang couldn't help but feel a little bit of astringency in her eyes.

Everything in the mansion is no different from when Su Huiniang left. After a few days, she has dealt with the backlog of things in an orderly manner. These days, people from Uncle Weiwu's mansion, Lu Shuangying's mansion, and Tan mansion have all come over visit.Su Huiniang pulled herself together and barely managed it, because for some reason, during this period of time, she seemed to become jealous and drowsy, often saying this one second, and then dozing off the next.This appearance was seen by Yan Hongzhen, and he immediately felt distressed, and forcibly ordered the door of the mansion to be closed, refusing to see any guests under the pretext that his wife was pregnant and needed to rest.Although Su Huiniang said a few words of anger, she still felt good in her heart.

In this way, she kept her ears closed and focused on raising the fetus.

Sister Yuan's health was fine, and seeing her mother's hard pregnancy, she took the initiative to ask for a "housekeeper".When Su Huiniang heard this, she couldn't ask for more. When her daughter is old, she should teach her well.As a result, the mother and daughter were serious about teaching and learning, and they gradually learned how to manage the family.

Time passed, and two months passed in the blink of an eye.On this day, bad news came from Uncle Weiwu's residence, Mrs. Chen died of illness.The old man suffered a loss of health since a few years ago, and was often lingering on the sick bed. This time, he finally failed to survive and left.As one of the first to receive this obituary, Su Huiniang was very sad in her heart.The next day, she took Yuan and her son to mourn.

White silk and linen sails were everywhere in Uncle Mighty's Mansion. A dark nanmu coffin was placed in the center of the mourning hall. Chen Yu, Lin Xiuzhu, Chen Rong and Chen Shou were all kneeling on both sides wearing linen and filial piety.Death will always make people feel suffocating sadness. Thinking back to Mrs. Chen's care for her family in the past, Su Huiniang shed tears again, burned a stick of incense for Mrs. Chen, and silently read, godmother, all the way After leaving.Just now she walked slowly in front of Chen Yu, and said with a choked voice, "Brother Chen, you have to express your condolences."

Chen Yu's face was full of haggardness, and his eyes were slightly dull. When he heard Su Huiniang's voice, he raised his head slightly and replied in a low voice, "Thank you."

Seeing him like this, Su Huiniang was also full of sighs in her heart. It should be the most appropriate to describe this man with the words "untimely" or "fate".

The present-day Holy Majesty is a "cruel-hearted" man who used the Chongyang assassination case to kill all the heroes of the founding of the country. Later, although he issued an edict of guilt and rehabilitated these people, he never wanted to use their descendants again. , so these families will gradually wither away in the years to come, and the mighty uncle's mansion is no exception. Originally, with Chen Yu's talent and learning, it would be no problem for him to be an official. In the end, one can't realize one's ambitions, one can only waste one's life with an empty title.

Men are like this, if they are not successful in their careers or their families, they will look extraordinarily old and haggard.

From the corner of Su Huiniang's eyes, she glanced at Lin Xiuzhu next to her. Now she looked like a vivid old woman, with dull eyes and no expression on her face. There is vitality to speak of.

Because of the "handkerchief" incident last time, Su Huiniang didn't have the slightest affection for this woman, so she didn't have any sympathy at this time.It is her own fault that Lin Xiuzhu has become what she is now, after all, she still has that Wen's life on her hands.

After Mrs. Chen died, Su Huiniang was very depressed for a few days. Sister Yuan saw that her mother was a little unhappy, so she suggested that the mother and daughter go to Yunle Temple to relax. Su Huiniang thought about the wish she made to the Bodhisattva when her daughter was injured. It was time to fulfill his wish, so he agreed, so he picked a sunny day and got on the carriage to Yunle Temple.

As the most famous temple and ancient temple farthest from the capital, Yunle Temple is always crowded with people and there are a lot of believers, and today is no exception.However, because Su Huiniang often donated property to the temple, there is also a meditation room in the temple for her family to rest.The person who came to receive them was Master Yuan, the host of Yunle Temple. Instead of talking for a while, Su Huiniang spontaneously donated 200 taels of silver before Amitabha left.

Sister Yuan curled her lips and said, "This monk likes money too much."

Su Huiniang glared at her, and reprimanded: "Stop talking nonsense, be careful that the Buddha will punish you."

"I'm talking about this monk, not the Buddha." Sister Yuan ran away from her mother with a smile: "Mother, you are inconvenient, please rest here for a while, my daughter will offer incense to the Buddha for you." After speaking, he rushed out impatiently.

Su Huiniang winked, and the maid who was about to slip immediately followed her.

"This child, with such a wild temper, will not be stable for a while."

Fang'er on the side pursed her lips when she heard this, and replied with a smile: "Missy has a good temper. Everyone will like such a lively and cheerful girl."

"It's better to be quiet." Su Huiniang shook her head: "Look at Sister Qing, she's two years younger than her, but she's like a grown-up, sensible and clean, how wonderful."

The master and the servant were chatting without saying a word, and a little novice came in with a tea tray outside. There was a clear spring in the backyard of Yunle Temple. The spring water was sweet and clear. Whenever a distinguished guest came, the little novice would use this spring water to make tea. Treating guests can be regarded as a signboard of Yunle Temple.

"Master, this servant brought the sour plum jar, would you like some?"

"Yeah. Take it out, I just want to eat it!"

"It's said that sour children are hot girls. Seeing that the master can eat sour like this, this baby must be a young master."

"Only you can talk..."

"Master, I heard that this Yunle Temple also enshrines Songzi Guanyin, how about you go to worship later, and let her bless you to give birth to a smart and healthy young master."

Su Huiniang's heart couldn't help but move slightly after hearing this, even though she may be suspected of cramping, she can still feel at ease, can't she?Immediately said: "Alright."

The Buddhist temple where the Son-Send Guanyin is located is in the northwest direction of Yunle Temple. Su Huiniang walked all the way. There are also many believers here, but most of them are married women.It took Su Huiniang a quarter of an hour from offering incense to praying, and then looked around the hall for a while, talking with the great monk who was in charge of explaining, before leaving the hall.

The master and servant walked back slowly.Calculating the time, sister Yuan should be back too.

"What are you going to do!" Suddenly, a terrified shout suddenly sounded.

The voice was sharp, no doubt it was a woman.

Su Huiniang couldn't help but stop, and frowned slightly.

"Go and have a look." She said lightly.

In a place where there is no one left or right, several young masters dressed in fine clothes are surrounding two young girls, among them the one who shouts is the taller one standing in front, she is wearing green clothes, looks It should be a little maid from some prefecture, who is currently protecting the girl behind her.

"Let me tell you, our lady is the cousin of the Tan family in Shangjing, and I won't tolerate your presumptuousness. If you are sensible, get out of the way quickly, otherwise, when the guards from the mansion arrive, you will be unable to eat!"

"Tan family, what Tan family. Hehe... We have never heard of such a Tan family in Shangjing." The young masters laughed and said.

These people are all well-known playboys in the capital. Their favorite thing to do on weekdays is to molest women from good families. At that moment, one of them stepped forward and said to the girl behind the girl in green: "Little lady, don't bother!" I'm afraid, you look so attractive, you really make my brothers admire you,...what are you hiding? Come out, let the brothers get close to each other..." Then he stretched out his long arms, and was about to grab the girl.

"do not want!"

"stop!"

Two voices sounded at the same time, the former was the girl's exclamation, and the latter was Su Huiniang's angry shout.
