from widow to dame

Chapter 101

Two months passed in a blink of an eye, and Su Wen's appointment as magistrate of Huai'an County, Qingyuan Road, Guizhou Province was officially issued. Finally, when it was time to set off, several carriages stopped outside the long pavilion at twenty miles from Shangjing.Su Huiniang, Yan Hongzhen, Lin Shi, Chang Run'e, and Chen Yu, who hadn't seen her for a long time, all came to see them off.

"Everyone go back..." Different from the people with rather sentimental expressions, Su Wen, who was dressed in white, looked very high-spirited, and he only heard him say: "Sister, brother-in-law, mother, Ah'e and the children, please take care of me gone."

"It's natural, you can take up the post with peace of mind!" Yan Hong said sincerely: "We are at home!"

"Yes!" Su Huiniang smiled and said with tears in her eyes, "Take care of yourself!"

Su Wen nodded heavily, walked to Lin's body, and bid farewell to his mother. Lin's crying was already too much at this time, if she was not supported by the maid, she would have fainted.

"You and the children are well!"

"Hmm!" Chang Run'e choked with tears on her cheeks, and said, "So is my husband."

"Take care." Su Wen and Chen Yu clashed their fists.

"Take care of yourself."

Seeing the carriage going away quickly, Chang Run'e couldn't bear it any longer, and threw herself into Su Huiniang's arms and wept loudly.

He personally sent her and Mrs. Lin back home, before Su Huiniang and Yan Hongzhen boarded the carriage back home.

Seeing his wife's sad face, Yan Hongzhen, who has always loved his wife like his life, immediately comforted him: "Sister Hui, don't worry, I have arranged four good hands to follow Brother Wen, and even if something happens, I won't let him get hurt. life."

Su Huiniang sighed after hearing the words: "Guizhou is very poor, and the temperature is humid and hot. When foreigners come there, it is very easy for them to get acclimatized."

"Didn't you bring him half a carload of medicinal materials?" Yan Hongzhen said nonchalantly.

Su Huiniang glared at him angrily: "Is it enough to just bring medicinal materials? If that's the case, what's the use of asking for a doctor!"

"It's not that there are no doctors in Guizhou." Yan Hongzhen muttered.

"What?" Su Huiniang raised her voice, squinting at him.

"A good man has ambitions in all directions. If you are afraid of this and that, what great cause are you doing! You women are not good at this, but we have only been separated for two or three years, and you are crying and dying..." Yan Hongzhen's voice became more and more serious. Small, because his sister Hui was looking at her coldly.

"Sister-in-law is really ambitious." Su Huiniang said with a smile that was not a smile: "It seems that I have dragged you down, otherwise, at this time, Xianggong should be flying like a bird in the sky and jumping like a fish in the sea!"

"I'm neither a bird nor a fish." Yan Hongzhen posted it shamelessly, and buried his head in Su Huiniang's chest: "I can't bear to part with Sister Hui, if I can, I can't wait to become a Trouser belt, wrapped around you every day, so that we can be together every moment."

"What kind of metaphor are you talking about!" Su Huiniang was amused by this obvious "flattery".He stretched out his finger, nodded his head and said, "I didn't know who it was back then, and I left with others without looking back."

"Sister Hui, there's a shop near here that sells pork knuckles that are very delicious. Ask the driver to turn around and let's buy a pair."

Seeing the man with guilty conscience written on his face, Su Huiniang couldn't bear it any longer, and burst out laughing, this man, even though he has a daughter, is still so childish, what should she do with him!

After returning home, Su Huiniang immediately went to see her daughter. The fat girl was stubbornly sitting on the bamboo couch next to the bed. When she saw her mother coming, she immediately started babbling.

"You, you really look like a little turtle!" Looking at her daughter, whose belly was down and her limbs were paddling, and calling out to her, Su Huiniang shook her head helplessly, and stepped forward to hug her.

"Miss, are you breastfeeding?" Su Huiniang asked Sister-in-law Duan who was waiting on her side.

"I've eaten, and I took a nap just now before waking up!"

Sure enough, the fat girl, who had eaten enough and slept well, seemed extremely energetic, even in her mother's arms, she kept moving around, Su Huiniang couldn't bear the strength, and was kicked several times by her little feet.Yan Hongzhen, who came in later, saw this scene, immediately bluffed, grabbed the fat girl by the collar, and lifted her into the air.The fat girl was also bold, instead of being afraid, she became excited, her limbs kept waving like lotus roots, and Gululu's big eyes laughed like crescent moons.It's like saying to my father, play with me, play with me~~~
Her own father really fulfilled her little wish.Like throwing a ball, the fat girl was flying back and forth between Yan Hongzhen's arms and the air.The father and daughter were "happy" playing, and Su Huiniang who was on the side was terrified. Whenever the fat girl fell down, she wanted to reach out to pick her up for fear that the unreliable father would hurt her little baby.

"Little girl, you are quite courageous." Yan Hongzhen's mouth was raised, showing a deep smile, and concluded: "Like me!"

Su Huiniang gave him a blank look and took the child. In just a short while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the fat girl's forehead.

When we were young, the two had lunch, and the newly bought elbow with sauce was sliced ​​and served on a plate. Try it, it is really rich in sauce and delicious.The fat girl smelled the fragrance, her little nose twitched, and crystal saliva flowed from her mouth.Su Huiniang smiled, dipped some sauce on her elbow with her chopsticks, and licked it to her lips.The fat girl has only eaten milk since she was born, and this is the first time she tasted something with a salty smell, her eyes widened immediately, her small mouth slammed, and she looked like a greedy cat who wanted to eat.Su Huiniang smiled and gave her another sip, and then refused again, for fear of spoiling the child's stomach.After the meal, Su Huiniang teased her daughter for a while, then coaxed her to fall asleep.Yan Hongzhen lay sprawled on the bamboo couch, holding a book in his hand, reading it with great interest, Su Huiniang walked in and took a look, it turned out to be the Art of War.

"When did you become interested in forming troops?" Su Huiniang raised her eyebrows and jokingly said, "I used to ask you to read a book quietly, but it was harder than going to heaven."

"Hey..." Yan Hong laughed twice, but didn't answer.

Su Huiniang casually picked up the needlework basket and began to embroider. She planned to make a pair of shoes for her daughter.As long as she thought about wearing those shoes, which were less than half the size of a palm, on the fat girl's chubby feet, she felt so cute.The husband and wife were doing their own thing for a while, and the atmosphere in the room became quiet. Occasionally, when she looked up, Su Huiniang's eyes would sweep over Yan Hongzhen's place. She found that at some point, Yan Hongzhen His expression became extremely focused, and from time to time he would stop his fingers turning the page, frown, and think.

Su Huiniang lowered her eyes and sighed softly, "Man..."

After Su Wen took office, Su Huiniang was afraid that Mrs. Lin and Chang Run'e would be lonely, so she always came to talk to them. She simply had two children, Brother Shi and Sister Qing, and their emotions stabilized quickly. One day, the weather was bright and cloudless, so Su Huiniang hugged Yuan and wanted to go back to her mother's house for a visit. However, before she could leave, someone outside reported that someone from the Yongping Hou Mansion had come.

When Su Huiniang heard this, she frowned subconsciously. She had a premonition that trouble was coming.

"Mother is sick?" Su Huiniang asked suspiciously, "Is this true?"

"Why not take it seriously." The person who came was Qi's confidant Xun Mama, she wept with tears in her eyes and said with a choked voice: "It's been two days since I've had rice water, I'm so ruthless!"

"What kind of disease can the doctor say?"

Mother Xing said: "It's just a loss of energy and blood..."

Blood loss?It's not an emergency either!Su Huiniang's doubts became more and more serious. However, since they had sent someone to notify her, as a daughter-in-law, she had to go and have a look.After ordering Sister-in-law Duan to take good care of Sister Yuan, Su Huiniang took Mu Xiang and Mama Xing and boarded the carriage to Yongping Houfu.Half an hour later, they arrived at the place, and they ran directly to Qi's yard.

Unexpectedly, what she saw was not the "dying" Qi family lying on the bed, he looked very energetic, and he was neatly wearing the first-class clothes.

"Coming?" It was a greeting.

"Fake illness?" This thought flashed through her mind quickly, and Su Huiniang's heart became more vigilant. However, her face was full of doubts, and she asked in surprise: "Didn't it mean that mother is sick? Why..."

"I'm really not feeling well these two days!" Qi replied without blushing or panting.At the end, he pretended to stare at Xing Mama behind him: "Looking at you, you are always worrying. You just coughed for a few nights, and the imperial doctor came to prescribe medicine. Why did you bring Hongzhen's daughter-in-law here?"

"The old slave is also concerned about the chaos!" Xing's mother said very cooperatively: "Isn't Madam always talking about the second young lady? The old slave is thinking about asking the second young lady to come over, so that your illness can be cured sooner."

Su Huiniang looked coldly at Yi Changyi and the landlord and servant, but wanted to see what kind of medicine they were selling in this gourd.

"It's fine if mother has nothing to do." She pretended to be reassured, and sat down on the Qi family to help her, and then said to Xing's mother: "You are mother's caring person, and it is reasonable for me to say this, but you today What my son did was really unreasonable, and she came to me in such a hurry, saying that my mother was seriously ill, which made me think..." Su Huiniang then aggravated her tone, and reprimanded mercilessly: "It's a loss that I have been on errand for a long time. Old man, you are so unreliable in doing things. If you know it, you are concerned about it, but if you don’t know it, you think you are cursing your mother..."

Mother Xing stood there and was choked by Su Huiniang's sarcasm and humiliation.

A face, so black that it could almost sink out of water.
