From the ashes: Return of the General

Chapter 608
Sun Hongchang's voice was not loud, but he could hear clearly, and every word Mei Xin said was like a sharp knife piercing into his heart, which made him feel heartbroken and grief-stricken.

There are so many people in this world, and no one is born to die in battle. Moreover, too many people have died in the Mei family's loyalty to the country.

"Eldest... Eldest Miss!" With a piercing low voice, Sun Hongchang, who was eight feet tall, looked at Mei Xin's receding back and burst into tears.

Mei Yuzheng, who was sitting paralyzed on the ground, also heard it, and when she saw Mei Xin push the door away, she stood up abruptly, but she didn't know if it was because she was too sad, or she got up too fast, or the ground was too slippery, so she didn't run much. She fell on the snow in the distance.

Brother Sun Yingjie, who had been peeking at the window, ran out, hugged her and said, "Mother, mother, how are you, you..."

He was interrupted before he finished speaking, and Mei Yuzheng said hurriedly: "I'm fine, leave me alone, go after her, go after her."

This farewell may be indefinite, she doesn't want it, she doesn't want to be like this.It was the first time she saw her, she was still so young, she didn't want her to die in battle, she didn't want her shroud in horse leather, she didn't want her.

Sun Yingjie went, sprinting out of the door like a rabbit.Sun Mei lifted her up and handed her over to Sun Hongchang to take care of her, and then hurriedly chased her after her.

Because she didn't want anyone to know that Mei Xin didn't come directly from Prince Liang's Mansion, she first took a carriage to her private house and then came here with Yunying and several personal guards.It's not Jiao Didi's daughter, who is still very strong and vigorous after nearly four months of pregnancy.Therefore, Yunying and the others didn't stop them, but just carefully protected them.

The horse was tied at the intersection, and she was about to get on the horse when Sun Yingjie chased her.

"Wait, please stay!" At first, he wanted to call General Mei, but he felt that it was inappropriate. Sun Yingjie thought about it and thought that he should call sister, but because he was not familiar with him for a while, he couldn't say it.

Mei Xin was startled when she heard the sound, she didn't expect him to catch up with her, she smiled slightly and said, "Your name is Yingjie, right?"

Although they got rid of Yunying in the afternoon, they didn't get rid of the dark guard, so Mei Xin heard the names of his siblings.The older sister is called Sun Mei, the same surname as the husband and wife, and the younger brother is called Yingjie, probably because he hopes that his son will become a dragon and hope that he can do something when he grows up.

Sun Yingjie was stunned when Mei Xin smiled and revealed her youth.But that was only for a moment, and after a moment, he nodded a little at a loss.

Remembering that although the two were of the same generation, but because of how much older he was, the first time they met, Mei Xin hurriedly took off a suet jade pendant from her waist.She usually wears simple clothes and seldom wears these things, but Yun Luo insisted on her wearing them when she said that she should go to the countryside and do as the Romans do.No, once she puts it on, she can't take it off, and she puts it on every day when she changes clothes, so she doesn't mind getting in the way after a long time.

Stepping forward and walking in front of Sun Yingjie, Mei Xin tied the jade pendant around his waist without asking his wishes, and said: "I don't know what you like, this suet jade is what I got from suppressing the bandits, I give it to you, Hope you like it."

While talking, Sun Mei also arrived, running so fast that she almost couldn't stop.

Mei Xin saw that she was pretty and beautiful, so she took off her hood and took out a golden plum blossom hairpin from her hair to help her put it on, saying: "The daughter of the Mei family always wears a plum blossom hairpin when she is young, this is what my father made for me. Here you go, congratulations to Jiji. You don’t have to worry about Ninth Young Master, I’ve already let someone settle this matter, and he will never dare to trouble you again. You are still young and don’t know that the world is dangerous and people’s hearts are sinister. Do not mention the heroic deeds of the Mei family anywhere else."

Withdrawing her hand, Mei Xin smiled again seeing that she was wearing a plum blossom hairpin and said with a smile: "Okay, it's cold and windy, you guys go back quickly. I'm leaving, farewell!"

She waved her hand and turned around, took the whip from Yunying and Mei Xin jumped onto the horse's back.Pulling the reins and turning the horse's head, she looked at the Sun brothers and sisters who hadn't recovered yet, and she couldn't help telling: "If one day the Mei family is in trouble, don't hit the Mei family boxing again, forget it, and never think about it again. It's not easy for your parents, so be filial to them."

After finishing speaking, Mei Xin went away without hesitation as soon as her legs were clamped.

As she said, there is no feast that never ends, and with the current situation of the Mei family, there is no need to drag them in.Therefore, she hopes that they can live freely, live a good life like ordinary people, and die.

The horseshoe clattered and everyone left, and the Sun siblings finally came back to their senses.Sun Yingjie looked at the suet jade in his hand in a daze, and Sun Mei's eyes were even more confused.

Involuntarily raised her hand and took off the plum blossom hairpin on her head, she looked at it and murmured in disbelief: "The golden hairpin is still solid...brother, brother, let's see how much money this is worth. .”

Ever since she was a child, she had never worn a silver hairpin in Dalian, let alone a gold hairpin. To be honest, she had never even seen gold.So, both eyes look straight.

Sun Yingjie ignored her, clenched the mutton jade in his hand and was about to catch up.It's a pity that the horse's hoof ran fast, but in a blink of an eye, the group of them disappeared.

A little annoyed and a little depressed, why did my mother leave without saying a word when she asked them to chase her out.Moreover, what does it mean that the Mei family should not fight the Mei family when they are in trouble? Is the Mei family in trouble?
"Brother, what are you chasing? Everyone has gone away. Did you hear what I said to you? This is a solid golden hairpin. The plum blossom is so big, so it is worth a lot of money, right? Now it's over, we don't have to worry about it anymore. I am worried about my livelihood, and my mother no longer needs to wash clothes for others to make money.” There are children in the family who can’t go out to work, so in order to earn more money, Mei Yuzheng helps the men who do the work on the pier do the laundry.A piece of clothing costs a copper coin, and the hands that are washed are rotten, so they can barely make ends meet.

Looking back at the golden hairpin in her hand, Sun Yingjie said: "No matter how valuable it is, I can't sell it. This is her wish. You should keep it well. Let's go home, mother is still waiting for us."

While speaking, he grabbed her arm and ran back. After a while, the siblings returned home.After closing the door and rushing into the room, I saw my father and mother crying loudly looking at the banknotes in the box.

Knowing that they must be so moved, Sun Yingjie put the mutton jade in his hand on the table and said: "She is gone, this is a gift for me, and my sister's is a golden hairpin with plum blossoms. She said that the daughter of the Mei family will always be good at everything." There is a plum blossom hairpin. Mother, is what she said true?"

It was good not to mention this matter, but Mei Yuzheng cried even more when it was mentioned.

Sun Mei was a little worried, she stepped forward and put the hairpin on the table, held Mei Yuzheng's hand and said, "Mother, don't cry, your eyes are bad and the doctor said you can't cry, so don't cry. It's our fault, we I didn’t listen to your words and ran to the teahouse to talk about books and ran into her, so I came here.”
