Chapter 52
After the beginning of autumn, the weather suddenly became much cooler.

Peaches are being sold everywhere in the street, but watermelons have become worthless.

Because of the old customs in Beijing, peaches are eaten in the beginning of autumn, and the peach pits are saved on New Year's Eve, and they are thrown into the fire and burned, which can prolong life and eliminate disasters.

However, watermelon is cool in nature, so it should not be eaten after the beginning of autumn.

As dusk approached, there were more people passing through the west city gate.

People have to go out of the city or into the city before sunset.

A group of inconspicuous chariots and horses slowly entered the city, and the guards of the city gate chatted with each other, "Look at this family, they seem to have been summoned to Beijing."

Another older one glanced at it and said with a smile: "It's probably reactivated. This family may not have been an official for many years."

They have been guarding the city gates for many years, have met all kinds of people, and have long practiced a set of ability to recognize people, and they can always make a good guess.

All of these carriages were occupied by female relatives, and the curtains were lifted to see the scenery along the street.

The face is either surprised or delighted, mixed with restraint and shame.

Only the curtains of the fourth car were lowered.

Cheng's mother straightened her temple hair, stretched her skirt, and said to the woman beside her, "Miss San, it's been 11 years, and you're back again."

It turned out that this group of people were none other than the Xu family.

Cheng's mother accompanied Xu Chunjun to Beijing to find a way out, and then returned to Siyuan County with the people from the Hou's Mansion. The people from the Hou's Mansion returned to Beijing after finishing their work, and she stayed.

Then Xu Chunjun wrote a letter, and Xu Lang learned that the three elder brothers would also be pardoned and returned to Beijing, so he asked his family to pack up and come to Beijing on another day.

It's just easy to say, but it will take a lot of effort if you really want to leave.

It is also necessary to sell it off, and it is also necessary to decide who will stay in the old house and who will follow to Beijing.

There are also some servants who have to be dismissed, land leased, shop transferred, and relatives and party members have to say goodbye.

After this encounter, I have been busy for more than two months, and with the time spent on the road, three months have passed.

Sitting in the same car with Cheng's mother was Xu Chunjun's third aunt, Xu Lang.

Since the reform failed, the old man of the Xu family was exiled together with his three sons, and the old man died on the way to exile.

The rest of the people were repatriated to their ancestral home, and Xu Lang, the third girl, took on the important task of running the family.

For so many years, Xu Lang has never been married, and now he is nearly thirty.

Unlike the people in Xu's family, Xu Lang didn't have much joy in his heart.

It was because she knew that the Xu family was able to return to Beijing today because Xu Chunjun exchanged himself.

As the daughter of the Xu family, Xu Lang understands why Xu Chunjun did this best, and loves her sacrifice the most.

"It's autumn again in a flash." Xu Lang only sighed, as if the clouds were calm and the wind was breezy, and he seemed filled with emotion.

It has been eleven years since she left Beijing.

All kinds of things from that year are still in front of my eyes, but the capital is more prosperous, but I am no longer yesterday.

The car was rumbling and the horse was struggling a little, Xu Lang knew that the car had already boarded the Yonghong Bridge.

No matter how tightly the car curtain was covered, she still seemed to see the twelve curved railings and the white marble animal heads on the bridge.

He also came here when he left Beijing, but was stopped by that person, and after a quarrel, he never saw him again.

There are so many people in the city that the carriage cannot go fast.

Thanks to the long sky at this time, it is not yet time to light the lamps in the residence assigned by the Hou Mansion.

Xu Chunjun had been waiting here early, and Mrs. Hou Ye specially sent many servants to help.The Xu family had just arrived, and they had to carry luggage and unload the car, so they might not be too busy.

The carriage stopped in front of the door, and the maids and women came down first.Xu Chunjun came up early, and the first car sat the eldest wife, the eldest grandma, and the eldest son Xu Bai.

Xu Chunjun personally helped Hanxiao to greet him, and asked the servant girl Haosheng to help the eldest wife and others go in.

After several months, when Xu Chunjun met with everyone, greetings were inevitable.Especially the second wife, Xu Daoan's wife and mother, and the concubine's younger sister were even more affectionate when they met Xu Chunjun.

"Why don't you see the second elder brother and them?" Xu Chunjun was holding one hand by the second aunt and the other by the second sister-in-law.

"A car broke down, and he and the third child fell behind. They said they couldn't get into the city late, so they stayed outside the city for one night, and then entered the city tomorrow morning." The second wife held Xu Chunjun's hand even tighter as she spoke. Tighten up, "Good boy, I really want to thank you! Without you, how could your second brother..."

"We are a family, second auntie, don't talk about seeing outsiders. It's all over, and life will be good from now on." Xu Chunjun quickly comforted.

"Yes, yes! Thanks to you! You saved our lives!" Second Mistress was equally grateful, "My dear sister, you are my lifelong benefactor!"

"Isn't it easy for the child to go all the way? He is still sleeping so soundly at this moment! How cute!" Xu Chunjun knew that the only way to stop the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law from saying these grateful words was to shift the topic to Xu Daoan's child: "Look How safe he is in the arms of Third Sister."

"This little guy is very solid! The more he sits in the car, the more obedient he is," said the second wife very comfortably, "In the future, he will also have a wild personality."

"Second Aunt, Sister-in-Law, Third Sister, hurry up and go inside! The journey is tiring, so you should take a good rest." Xu Chunjun let the two of them into the courtyard.

Then came the third wife of Xu's family, Xu Chunjun's aunt Wei, sister Xu Chunsu, and fourth brother Xu Daokai.

Xu Chunjun had already offended them by taking over the matter of going to Beijing.

When they met at this time, the Wei mother and daughter's faces were still indifferent, Xu Chunjun didn't care, what should be done or what should be done.

It was as if she couldn't see their dissatisfaction, anyway, she had gotten used to playing stupid in front of them for so many years.

Xu Chunsu felt very uncomfortable when she saw that her concubine girl, who had only seen her for a few months, was already looking like a young lady.

He wanted to ridicule a few words, but he was afraid of being heard by Xu Lang behind him, so he had to swallow it temporarily.

"Mother, wife, fourth sister, Daokai, you have worked hard all the way. I have arranged accommodation for you, if there is anything you don't like, just let me know." Xu Chunjun is considerate in everything, and the two girls are not good, so they responded lightly .

The last one to get off was Xu Lang, and Xu Chunjun hurried to meet him.

The aunt and nephew held hands and looked at each other, Xu Lang called out: "Mr. Chun..." and did not continue.

Some words do not need to be spoken, because each other already understands it in their hearts.

"Auntie is in good health, isn't she?" Xu Lang was ill when Xu Chunjun left home, "Although you said it in the letter, I'm still not at ease."

"It's really good," Xu Lang touched Xu Chunjun's face affectionately and said, "Can't you see that I'm fat?"

"My aunt is not fat, but her complexion has really recovered." Xu Chunjun said with a smile, "Let's live here for the time being, and look for a more satisfactory house in the future."

"Yes, you must have your own house." Xu Lang said, "It's right to live here for a while. Houses in the capital are not cheap, and you need to spend most of your savings to manage one, so you have to plan carefully. "

The two of them walked in while talking, and the servants carried things back and forth, and they didn't finish packing until it was dark.
