After the prince enters the play

115 Chapter 115: Keep alive
The Su family in Huaining only lived in the old house and there were three rooms. In addition to the family of the third uncle, there were also the families of the second and fourth uncles.

For example, the third uncle had two sons, the eldest son Su Zhao, the second son Su Shan, the eldest son Su Zhao had three sons and a daughter, Su Deng was the eldest, and there were younger brothers Su Lu and Su Li, and Su Li was a concubine.

The second master Su Shan has three sons and two daughters, Su Yan, Su Duo, Su Jian, Su Xihua, and Su Zhizhen, among them Su Jian and Su Zhizhen are concubines.

It's just that there are more than a dozen people in the third uncle's house. Although the reception banquet in the evening was prepared hastily, it was still very solemn, and the recognition of relatives went very smoothly.

Everyone is really curious about Su Xinyi. After all, besides Qi Guogong, the most respected person in their old Su family is Su Fourth Master Su Chun.

That is to say, only this house in the capital will officially become Uncle Su, Second Master Su, Third Master Su, and Fourth Master Su. The people in other houses are all given a name to distinguish which house head they are.

There are too many Su family members, and it is impossible to rank them uniformly, so they have to be ranked in the dozens. What do you call them?

So Su Zhao, who was in the third uncle's house, would call him Eldest Master Zhao, and Su Deng and others would become Eldest Young Master Deng and Eldest Young Master Deng, so that they could be clearly distinguished.

When Su Xinyi heard this, he always felt as if he heard Deng Tuzi...

No, no, why is her thinking always slipping, and she is running more and more on the road of being a villain.

Su Deng always felt that the way the sixth younger sister looked at him was a bit unusual. She was sure that she smiled when she heard him address, and it was still a kind of not-so-kind smile.

Because it was too late, I didn't intend to disturb Master Shan'er's room at first, but when my wife got the news on Tuesday, she hurriedly told her husband, and Master Shan'er came with his family.

Su Xinyi also saw Su Xihua and Su Zhizhen. Over there, the fourth lady and Su Qi were busy greeting with the people in the clan. They also had to distribute the gifts brought from the capital for each room. Master Shan'er and his family came. Of course, the fourth lady We have to take out the one with the second room.

And here, Su Xinyi and sister Yun even got gifts with Su Baiwei, Su Baiwei felt embarrassed, she was married and divorced, so how easy it is to accept.

The third uncle and grandmother said with a smile: "Why can't I have it? Even if we get away with each other, what can we do? If He Li returns home, it will be another girl from our family's Su family. Take it."

Su Baiwei's eyes were red, and she answered it with a smile. Su Xinyi could clearly see that the elder sister was really relaxed at this moment.

It can be seen that she is still very worried about what her tribe will think of her when she returns to her hometown, and she is afraid that she will be worried about this along the way.

Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou, the sisters-in-law, looked at each other and couldn't help but smile, and the two of them naturally presented the children's meeting gift.

Su Xinyi received a lot of presents in one night, and her mood was quite complicated. In her previous life, she was unable to return to Huaining because she got married early, and she didn't know much about the people in her hometown in Huaining, but now seeing these people , I can't help but think of what the old man said.

When her father went to war, he also took away many people from the Su family. Some of these people came back, and some didn't.

What is a family?
At this moment, Su Xinyi suddenly had a new understanding, and she also understood the meaningful eyes of the old man when she returned to Huaining.

Needless to say, some things need to be seen with eyes and understood with heart.

Su Qi and the Su Deng brothers have known each other for a long time, and now they are both happy to meet each other again. The fourth wife also followed her husband back to the clan in the early years, and she is familiar with Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zhou. Even Su Xinyi felt extremely comfortable.

The old house has always reserved a courtyard for the long houses in the capital. This time when they came back, they cleaned it out and they lived in directly.

With your own house here, you don't feel like you are visiting someone else's house, but you are really back at your own home. This kind of feeling is great.

Su Xinyi was lying on the soft brocade mattress, and could still smell the faint fragrance of flowers left behind after fuming the blanket, which was very comfortable.

Can have a good dream!
On the second day, he got busy. First of all, the third uncle invited the people from these rooms in the old house, opened the ancestral hall, worshiped the ancestors, and recorded Su Xinyi's name in Su Chun's name.

But after hesitating for a moment when remembering whether he was born as a concubine or a concubine, Mrs. Su said, "Third Uncle, it is in my name. Xin Yi's biological mother has passed away, so I will treat this child as my own."

If it is recorded under the name of the fourth wife, then it is a prostitute.

Su Xinyi was not surprised, because it was like this in her previous life.

Women's family members were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, so Su Xinyi and the others waited outside. After the third uncle and the others came out, everyone went back to the third room to have a seat. Today is considered a serious banquet.

Su Xinyi and the Fourth Madam knew a group of people, dozens of people, and by the end of the memory, her eyes had turned black, and she couldn't remember which room they belonged to, whether they were elder brothers or younger brothers, older sisters or younger sisters, or uncles. Still aunt.

Su Mengyu looked overjoyed, there were nearly twenty people in their three families, let alone the other two families, and there were more clan members who were a little further away from other bloodlines, so it was strange that they could write it down immediately.

The second uncle of the second room has passed away, and the second uncle and grandmother have been sick in bed all year round, and are weak, so they don't come out to see people.The fourth uncle and the fourth uncle and grandmother of the fourth room also seem kind. Besides, Su Xinyi and the others came from the capital and belonged to Su's family. The glory of the Su family is basically carried by them, so they are also in the old house. There will be no eyesight to embarrass her.

Everyone is happy with a meal.

After a day of recuperation after the banquet, Su Xinyi finally regained his composure, and took the list book to remember it again.

At that time, I couldn't remember because there were too many people and the information was too complicated. Now I remember it again because it would be too embarrassing if I couldn't remember what to call someone.

Fortunately, she has a good brain, so she can do it a few times.

She looked at the roster and thought, the Su family is really prosperous, remembering what she asked her mother last night, why can't the Su family see the difference?
Mother said that because the Su family started out with military exploits, the sons of the family did not know how many times they went to the battlefield. It seems that his father took dozens of members of the family to the frontier, and less than one tenth of them came back.

Therefore, every child of the Su family is very important.

Su Xinyi thought of her mother's melancholy when she said this, and the slight regret in her words, she understood.

Because her mother held her hand before she died in her previous life and said that the thing she regrets the most in this life is that she was unable to conceive at that time, because the two of them failed to persuade her father to take a concubine and continue the incense, so that the fourth wife had no succession. people.

She also knew that the people of the Su family were somewhat resentful and dissatisfied with her, and she herself regretted it, but...

But who would have thought that there would be chaos at the border, and who would have thought that her father would lead the army to fight and never return?

Su Xinyi knew that her mother was kind to her now, and a large part of the reason was her own remorse and guilt towards her father, so when she appeared, it was for her mother's life, just as she said, it was for her. redemption.

Su Xinyi couldn't agree, but her mother thought this way and did so. She tried her best to treat her well and take care of her because she was her father's only child.

Su Xinyi sat by the window and thought about these past events, her thoughts became a little complicated and depressed.

Knowing that this life has come back, she will not go on the old path of her previous life, but she still feels the heaviness and pressure of life.

Her father's brilliance was too great, and her only daughter had humiliated him in her previous life. In this life, she wanted others to say that a tiger father has no dog daughter when they mention Su Siye's daughter.

Su Xinyi rubbed her face vigorously. This burden was a bit heavy, and she didn't know if she could shoulder it.

But how do you know if it works if you don’t try it?

Anyway, I walked on another road in my life and failed.

Let's run another way in this life.

Su Mengyu came to ask Su Xinyi to go shopping, but Su Baiwei stopped going out with them if she wanted to take care of her children.

Su Xinyi followed Su Mengyu out the door, unexpectedly meeting the three brothers Su Deng, Su Lu, and Su Li who had just returned at the gate, and the three of them stood in a row at the gate, blocking the road.

"Is this going out for shopping?" Su Deng asked with a smile.

Su Xinyi said hello to several people, then nodded and said, "Sister Mengyu took me out to see the scenery of Huaining."

Su Deng hesitated for a moment, looked at Su Li and said, "Third Brother, you stay with me." After speaking, he looked at Su Xinyi and Su Mengyu, "It happens that you guys will help you to buy something."

Su Xinyi just laughed, there were followers following him, so there was no need for Su Li to follow him.

Zhanqiao didn't follow this time, Cao Qing followed, Su Xinyi was busy these two days on the genealogy and identifying relatives, so he asked Cao Qing to take Mu Xing to get acquainted with each other, and then let Mu Xing take Cao Qing to recognize each other On the road, the two help each other and strive to live in harmony as soon as possible.

Today they are going to the street, and the two of them are waiting outside the mansion.

Seeing Su Xinyi smiling, Su Li said, "Sixth sister, is she worried that I won't be able to lift it? Don't worry, brother has plenty of strength. It just so happens that we won't come back at noon, so I'll take you to eat delicious food."

Su Xinyi smiled and agreed, "Then thank you Brother Li, I'm lucky today."

Su Xinyi has never been to Huaining before, and she can't understand people who speak faster here. These days, she also learns the local dialect from Su Mengyu, and the daughters here speak very softly, anyway. If her fifth sister comes, she will never miss leaving.

Su Deng and Su Li still had business to do, so they separated after a few words.

Su Li went out with the two younger sisters, Su Mengyu was lively and Su Xinyi was easy to get along with, so Su Li thought it was a good job to play with them.

Unexpectedly, before getting into the car, Su Qi got the letter and chased him out.

Su Qi panted, "Wait for me, I'll go too."

Can he not go?
As soon as the sixth younger sister went out, he was flustered, so it was better to follow along, otherwise it would be fatal to wait in the mansion.

The four of them sat in a big car, followed by the guards in the mansion, and went out in a mighty manner.

Su Mengyu looked at Su Xinyi in the car and asked, "Sixth Sister, where do you want to go?"

Su Xinyi is generally interested in shopping, mainly to find out the way. Hearing Su Mengyu's question, he said, "I can do whatever I want."

Su Mengyu thought so too, Xin Yi is not familiar with this place, she immediately said: "Let's go to Zhenbao Building first, and then to Silk and Satin Village, but the whole street is full of delicious food and fun."

Su Li and Su Qi have no objection, anyway, their task today is to play with them.

Not long after the carriage moved forward, it turned right, and then a tall square gate could be seen from a distance. People came and went behind the square gate, and the noise of noise was heard from afar.Looking around, there are Zhulou painting pavilions, embroidered bead curtains, and gorgeously carved carriages parked beside the street.The sound of flute pipes and strings and ditties continuously drifted out from the tea house and restaurant.

Even if Su Xinyi was not interested in these things, he felt happy at this moment.

They abandoned their cars and walked slowly among the crowd. The street vendors were in high spirits, and Su Xinyi smelled a strong aroma, such as sesame curd, chicken skin sesame drink, powdered vegetarian sticks, sugar, mung bean, licorice, ice and snow cold water, lychee Ointment, plum ginger, sweet candy...there are so many things that I can't see them all.

Su Xinyi was amazed that the market in Huaining seemed to be more free and varied than in the capital, so she asked the price casually.One serving is only fifteen yuan, and there are cheaper ones of seven or eight yuan, which the common people can afford.

Su Xinyi said to her second brother, "It's cheaper than the capital."

Su Qi nodded, "at the feet of the emperor, it is naturally more expensive."

Speaking of which, Su Mengyu had asked Su Li to buy food over there. Su Li held seven or eight paper bags in his hand, looked at Su Xinyi and smiled, "Sixth sister, pick whatever you want."

Seeing Su Li like this, Su Xinyi smiled and said, "Thank you, Third Brother Li." He picked a plum ginger and ate it slowly, looking at the shops selling jewelry, cloth, spices, medicines, etc. on both sides, There was a steady stream of people, and it seemed that business was going very well.

Su Qi watched from the side and said: "This is indeed the most prosperous place in Huaining, just like I remember. I remember that there used to be a shop selling calligraphy, paintings and treasures around the corner, why is it gone now?"

Su Li said: "The son of that family didn't live up to his expectations. He went to the gambling table and lost all his belongings. His father sold the shop in order to redeem his life from the gambling shop."

"That's a pity. They can find good things in their shop." Su Qi sighed.

Su Mengyu grabbed Su Xinyi and entered the tailor shop, picked and picked, and chose a peach pink dress, and also chose the exact same one for Su Xinyi, the two of them changed their clothes, and even combed their hair in the same bun. , and stood in front of Su Li and Su Qi, they were so startled that they didn't speak for a while.

Su Mengyu asked triumphantly, "How is it?"

Su Li immediately praised: "It's beautiful, the two sisters look like Chang'e descending to earth in the moon."

The corner of Su Xinyi's mouth twitched, don't think she didn't see Su Li's slightly terrified expression before.Seeing Su Qi's face holding back a smile, she took a deep breath.

She is really not suitable for this kind of pink and tender clothes, but Su Mengyu is in high spirits, and it is not good to let her down.

Just wear it, it's only today anyway.

As long as she doesn't find a mirror to take a look at herself, she will act as if nothing happened.

After shopping around for a long time, I bought a lot of things, and had dinner at a place called Niu Er Restaurant at noon.

Stepping into the door of the building decorated with colorful silk, there is an extremely wide main corridor with more than a hundred steps.Next to the corridors on both sides of the north and south courtyards are small zygotes, the windows of which are opened, and the inside is full of guests.

"At night, the lanterns and candles here are bright and brilliant, reflecting up and down, and there will be singers to add to the fun. It will be a lively event." Su Li said to Su Xinyi with a smile, "If the sixth younger sister is interested, I will meet you some other day." bring you here."

Su Xinyi nodded, and then asked, "Brother Li, is there no curfew here?"

"Yes, but this street won't have a curfew until midnight, and there will be officers patrolling after nightfall, so it's very safe." Su Li said.

Su Xinyi looked at Su Qi and said, "Second brother, this is really different from the capital, it seems more comfortable here."

Su Qi nodded, "Huaining is located in the hinterland of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and it is also a place with prosperous waterways, so it is naturally more lively."

Su Xinyi is in this gentle and rich town, seeing the joyful smiles on everyone's faces in this restaurant, such a prosperous age is really yearning and nostalgic.

The restaurant's dishes are also quite different from those in the capital city. Lotus duck sticks, stone belly soup, hand-washing crabs, lychee kidneys, sheep's head with silk in virtual sauce, and steamed goose and duck steaks are placed on a large table.

The four chatted and laughed, listening to Su Li talking about the local customs and customs of Huaining, Su Xinyi calmly adjusted the entire orientation of Huaining City, and the meal was very satisfying.

When it was time to eat, I suddenly heard a burst of noise coming from outside. Su Xinyi was sitting by Xiao Hezi's window, and looked out sideways, and saw a child from an unknown family walking along the restaurant to the attic Climbing up, the child is full of joy, playing without knowing that he is in danger.

But the people eating in the restaurant were so frightened that they kept screaming, and then they heard a woman screaming, her face was pale, she covered her mouth tightly and didn't dare to scream, for fear that she would be shocked and climbed up. The child, the frightened woman, almost fell on the spot.

"Don't surprise the child."

"Yes, call his name slowly and let him come down the same path."

"Why is this kid so skinny, can he climb up such a high place?"

The crowd chattered endlessly, and everyone stared at the little figure closely. Five or six-year-old children are just when they are mischievous, and they don't know what danger is at all.

Su Li and the others saw it, and their expressions changed slightly. If the child slipped and rolled down from the top, his life might be lost.

Su Li immediately said: "I'll go and have a look, and find a way to take the child down."

After Su Li finished speaking, she went out, called the guards next door, and tried to climb up the inner wall to save people.

At this moment, the child suddenly turned his head and looked down, seeing that it didn't matter, he was so frightened that he burst into tears.Such a high place, even if an adult stands on it, even a timid person will feel dizzy, let alone a child.

"Cheng'er, squat down and don't move." The child's mother screamed loudly.

Hearing the mother's cry, the child named Cheng'er squatted down subconsciously, his body swaying, and the people downstairs were so frightened that they kept screaming.

Su Mengyu looked at the crying child with a pale face, "What do you think of the child, let him have a chance to climb into such a dangerous place, don't you think, Sixth Sister?"

Hearing no response, Su Mengyu couldn't help turning his head, only to see that there was no one beside him.

She immediately ran out with her skirt in hand, and when she looked up, she saw Su Li climbing up from the other side with the guards, quietly approaching the place where the child squatted in the attic.

That kid was smart, the place where he was squatting happened to be a small platform protruding from the attic, so as long as he didn't move around, he would be fine.

But children are not mature and rational like adults, and in such a dangerous situation, Su Li can only speed up.

At this time, the child suddenly stood up again, crying loudly for his mother, and took a step outside. Seeing that the next step was going to be empty, everyone turned pale with fright.

The child's mother yelled, "Cheng'er, don't move, squat down, squat down!"

"Mother, I want to find my mother..." Cheng'er cried even harder, thinking that his mother didn't want him anymore.

Su Li was already approaching, and he quickly rushed towards Cheng'er, who knew that in such a split second, Cheng'er took another step, and the child was gone in an instant.

The crowd kept screaming, Su Xinyi's complexion turned dark, and he took two steps to take a run-up, borrowing strength back and forth between the eaves and the pillars, and climbed up the almost vertical roof lightly with his body.

Everyone was shocked by this scene, only to see a pink figure jumping back and forth, like a dancing butterfly, the moment she flew onto the roof, she happened to catch Cheng'er who fell from the attic.

Su Xinyi was staggered by this momentum, but fortunately Su Li grabbed her arm in time, "Sixth sister, are you alright?"

"Thank you, third brother Li, I'm fine." Su Xinyi hugged the child tightly, and with the help of Su Li's strength to hold her, she finally stood still. She jumped lightly with the child in her arms, and landed safely on the ground.

At this moment, the child's mother rushed over staggeringly, shouting loudly, "Cheng'er..."

In an instant, Su Xinyi suddenly heard Mu Xing's voice, "Miss Six, get out of the way!"

Subconsciously, Su Xinyi turned to one side, and saw a sharp knife gliding past her arm, and it was the child's mother stabbing at her.

The accident happened so suddenly that no one knew what happened. Su Xinyi reacted very quickly, and he grabbed the lantern stick under the eaves and struck the woman's wrist.

The woman who looked at the child with gentle eyes before became fierce and fierce at this moment. She retracted her wrist and instantly raised her foot to kick the child in her arms.

Su Xinyi immediately blocked her attack with a stick, and then quickly retreated. Fortunately, at this time, Mu Xing and Su Qi both rushed over, and Su Li also jumped down from the eaves and kicked the woman.

With someone's help, Su Xinyi got this moment's buffer, and immediately gave the child to Su Mengyu who just ran over, turned around and chased after the woman.

Su Xinyi heard the woman screaming: "Mu Xing, you ungrateful villain, you forgot the master's kindness to save your life, and you dare to betray him!"

Su Xinyi's heart trembled. When Mu Xing reminded her before, she felt that Mu Xing should know this person, and now it sounds like it is.

It's Marud's man again!
Su Xinyi immediately said: "Brother Li, stay alive!"

Su Li heard what Su Xinyi said, and said, "Okay."

The dagger in that woman's hand was very sharp, and it was a disadvantage for Su Li to confront her with bare hands, Mu Xing stepped forward to wrestle with her, saying: "Jiang Sanniang, you don't even let the child go, your conscience has been eaten by dogs! "
