New widow

Chapter 211 Farewell

"Shouldn't Grandma enjoy peace and happiness in this mansion?" Suqiao asked in surprise. Grandma Wu smiled: "It's great to be here in the capital, but after thinking about it, I will be sixty this year. , my husband is already sixty. At this age, I don’t want to go any further. My son is not born early, and my daughter is already married. My daughter-in-law has two granddaughters, and life is also difficult. It’s better to follow Mrs. Kuang. Go, you also have a messenger, and we don’t need to think about anything else.”

What she said was very reasonable, so Suqiao agreed. Grandma Wu’s two granddaughters, one is 13 years old and the other is 11 years old, seem to be very smart and lively. Suqiao asked, one is called Chun Ya, and the other is [-] years old. Called Qiu Ya. This is also the common practice for servants to name their children. They give them a nickname, and when they have a master, the master will naturally name them.

Su Qiao asked the older one to be called Chun Ya and the younger one Qiu Su. After hearing these two names, Grandma Wu smiled happily and said, "Ms. Kuang is the one who knows how to name me."

At this moment, Chun Ya was sitting in a car with Su Qiao and Song Zhen, Xia Yun Xi'er, Qiu Su, Nanny Wu, and little sister-in-law Wu and little sister Song were sitting in the car behind them.

Mrs. Song Wu stood under the car, unable to stop crying. Suqiao said with a smile, "If you don't let us go, we won't be able to catch up with the first stop."

"I can't bear to leave you." Mrs. Song Wu's words made Su Qiao laugh again: "Then when the child is older and you have free time, come and see me."

Having said that, it is impossible to reach a place thousands of miles away so easily. Mrs. Song Wu shook her head: "You lied to me again."

"After a long journey, we must say goodbye. Let's go." Su Qiao lowered the car curtain and could no longer see Mrs. Song Wu's face.

After a while, the carriage slowly drove out of the alley and walked towards the street.

"I've been in the capital for so many days, and this is only my third time going out." Suqiao said with emotion. Song Zhen thought for a while: "Then I go out more than you." When Song Zhen went to Wu's house to learn the rules, she went out every day, but When learning the rules, Song Zhen felt extremely painful.

Suqiao also smiled: "When I went out for the first time, I was very hesitant." That time when I went out, Suqiao got married, and she married into the Song Dynasty with loud sounds of gongs and drums.

"Sitting in the sedan chair at that time, I didn't know what I was thinking in my heart." Suqiao reached out and held Song Zhen's hand, feeling very emotional. I don’t know what my destiny is, I don’t know what will happen to me in the future, I don’t know anything, and I’m confused about everything.

"What now?" Song Zhen broke the casserole and asked, Suqiao smiled: "I didn't expect that I would have such an experience and meet you."

Song Zhen also smiled: "I didn't expect that either." I originally thought that in this life, I would be trapped in such a house, and would be watched all the time, watching what kind of words should be said if someone did not obey the rules. Say what you shouldn't say, as if you only have one more breath than a puppet.

"Learning the rules in the Wu family is very tiring and I don't like it very much, but I can't say it out loud because I know that this is their good intention." Song Zhen leaned against the car wall. It's strange that someone's good intention is to tie you up and let you go. You are not happy, but everyone still says how wonderful this is.

Suqiao patted Song Zhen's shoulder gently, and Xia Yun also smiled: "I didn't think it was strange at first, but now I feel very strange when I listen to Mrs. Kuang and you talking."

"Is there anything strange or not?

? "Song Zhen leaned on Xia Yun's shoulder. Song Zhen came back very late last night. Xia Yun could only say a few words in a hurry, and divided the things given by Mrs. Zhu with Song Zhen before going to bed.

At this time, Song Zhen could ask more questions. Xia Yun thought for a while: "It turns out that my world is in this house. Even if I obey the orders and go out to do errands, I don't dare to look outside. But At this moment, I suddenly felt that my world seemed not only to be in the house, but also to be very big."

Suqiao smiled: "Originally, our world is very big." It was only because of the book and the rules that a woman's world could only be limited to the house.

Chun Ya listened to the conversation between Song Zhen and Su Qiao, as well as Xia Yun's words, with her eyes wide open. These were different from the rules her grandmother had said. Xi'er had fallen asleep leaning against the carriage wall. The carriage had arrived at the city gate. She could hear the soldiers guarding the gate talking there. Suqiao lifted the carriage curtain and looked out. The capital was still so prosperous, but she could no longer Don't want to come.

"That looks like a British government car." Zhang Qing suddenly patted Su Du on the side. Su Du looked in the direction of Zhang Qing's finger. The two of them were sitting in the teahouse, so they could see clearly.

"It is indeed the British government's car." After Su Du finished speaking, he picked up a cup of tea. Before he drank the tea, he was interrupted by Zhang Qing: "What are they doing out of the city at this moment?"

"The British princess is overly sad and in poor health. She wants to go out to recuperate. Haven't you heard about it these days?" Su Du asked Zhang Qing, and Zhang Qing sighed: "I really haven't heard about it."

After saying that, Zhang Qing looked at Su Du: "Then how do you know."

"My mother said

of. After Su Du finished speaking, he put down the tea cup: "My mother said that she originally wanted to see how the British Duke's daughter was doing, but who knew she had to go out to recuperate. This is an excuse. It must be this fight in their family. The British Duke's wife After being defeated, he was kicked out of the house by Lian Ren. "

"Your mother wants to see how the daughter of the British prince is doing. What do you mean?" Zhang Qing asked back. Su Du thought Zhang Qing's question was strange, and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Of course she wants to propose marriage to me."

The British Duke's Mansion and the Nanyang Marquis' Mansion were well-matched, so it was common sense for the Nanyang Marquis's wife to seek out Song Zhen. Zhang Qing groaned and felt that the tea in the cup had become bitter. How could he forget that he was different from Su Du? Young master, one is the son of the gatekeeper of the criminal department, and will never change.

Su Du wanted to speak again, but he felt that Zhang Qing calmed down. Su Du seemed to have remembered something and said softly: "I know that if I want to get married, I must not get married with someone I like, but with the right match."

After saying this, Su Du felt a pain in his heart, and Zhang Qing laughed: "Then you might as well ask for a job and work as an official outside. If you work there for a few years, your family will be beyond your reach."

This is a good idea. Su Du smiled as he thought about it: "Now that I'm out in public, what I can do is serve as a miscellaneous official."

"You have such a strong tone that you can't even look down on the miscellaneous official." Zhang Qing teased. Su Du looked at the city gate and saw that the British Duke's carriage had disappeared. He was afraid that he would never see her again. .

It’s okay if I can’t see him. After all, she is a widow who observes integrity, and he is the Marquis of Nanyang.

People in the mansion should follow their family's arrangements, get married, have children, and work hard to become officials to make the Nanyang Marquis Mansion more prosperous. Don't think too much about anything else. Su Du lowered his eyes and really wanted to breathe. But I can only think about it and can’t do anything else.
