from widow to dame

Chapter 62

"Go back?" Su Huiniang asked lightly.

"Return!" Wang Qilang replied with the same understatement.

Su Huiniang sighed softly: "Both your biological parents have passed away, and now another woman is in charge of the house, so it may not be a blessing for you to go." She came out from the gate of the mansion, so how could those twists and turns be different? Know.I haven't come to look for it for ten years.Why did her stepmother send someone to pick her up now that her biological father had passed away? Even if Su Huiniang didn't know the details, she could guess the tricks.

Wang Qilang was silent for a while, and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Sister Hui, how do you think people can succeed?"

Su Huiniang was taken aback.

Without waiting for his answer, Wang Qilang went on to say: "There are two kinds of people in this world, one is born with the shadow of their parents, they drink gold and silver water, live in Jinxiu Nest, they are born superior. They are ordinary people. If they want to get ahead, they have two paths, one is the imperial examination, the other is to go to the army, and use their military exploits to fight. Sister Hui, although Xiaoqi always laughs at brother Wen, but she knows that she can't achieve it. As for him, the imperial examination doesn’t make sense to me. As for joining the army, that’s the way to go, but the current Darui is not what it used to be a few years ago, and without fighting, naturally there is no military merit.” Su Huiniang couldn’t help thinking to herself when she heard this. Sigh, since when did this kid start thinking about these things? He is obviously only ten years old.

"Sister Hui, I'm not willing to spend my whole life doing nothing. I want to become stronger and gain a higher status. Only in this way will others dare not bully me." Only in this way can I protect you well.Wang Qilang pursed his lips, his beautiful face was full of stubbornness.

At this moment, what can Su Huiniang say.Don't let him go back.Not to mention whether the man and the woman can agree, but starting from the reality, a mud doll in a remote village and a young master in the Hou Ye's mansion, everyone knows how to choose, and after all, it is his real home, then With his real blood relatives in front of him, how could Su Huiniang say anything to stop her? All her thoughts turned into a long sigh, and the worry between her eyebrows became more serious.

The two people in the Yongping Hou's Mansion rushed back to report to their orders, but the next morning, they actually came to the door again.

Wang Qilang told them in the past that he set off to return to Beijing in three days. Although Xing's mother was eager, Wang Qilang's attitude was firm, thinking that he might be reluctant to part with him. , should be.During the three days, Wang Qilang was tired of Su Huiniang's side almost all the time, and sometimes he would look at her without blinking, as if he wanted to keep her appearance at this time in his heart forever.Su Huiniang also felt very uncomfortable, so she let him pester her.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye it is the day of departure.When the sky was just getting dark, Su Huiniang got up, rubbed her red and swollen eyes, put on her clothes, walked to the kitchen, washed up, and started to make breakfast.She made fried dumplings with chili meat, one of Wang Qilang's favorite foods.Just as the fire was on fire here, Mrs. Lin over there also came out. Her face was a bit haggard, and it could be seen that she hadn't slept all night.It's no wonder that Wang Qilang has been in the Su family for three years. Although he is not a likable character, but after a long time, Lin also likes him a little bit. He has long been regarded as his nephew. This is unexpected It's natural to be reluctant to leave.

"Huiniang, don't be too sad." Mrs. Lin walked to the side of her daughter and persuaded softly, "Maybe there will be a time to meet again in the future."

Su Huiniang smiled lightly and said, "Look at what mother said, why am I sad? It's a great thing that Qilang can find his relatives. I'm too happy to be in time!"

"Yeah, this is also Qilang's fate. A few years ago, in the chaos of war, a family was sometimes washed away. Now it is not easy to find them back. I should be happy!" Although she could see her daughter's insincere words, Lin still coaxed her to say that she was a rural woman and couldn't figure out who the Marquis was or how high an official she was. She just thought that Wang Qilang would finally be able to reunite with his relatives now.

After a while, breakfast was ready, and Wang Qilang led Xiao Hei in. Since Xiao Hei grew up, Su Huiniang didn't allow him to enter the house, but today he didn't say anything. The whole family ate around the dinner table The atmosphere was a little silent, and even the dog seemed to sense something, squatting in the corner of the room, listlessly pulling its ears.

Lin also knew that Mama Xing and others would come to pick her up soon, so she automatically went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, leaving the space for the two of them.Su Huiniang looked at the child in front of her, then turned around and took out a large package from the cabinet.

"There are four pieces of clothes I newly made, and two pieces of underwear. The Hou's Mansion probably doesn't lack these, but I think you might be used to my clothes, so you brought some more. There are also these The two boxes contain camellia noodles, Wuren shortbread, and peanut candy, and you can keep them for the road..." Su Huiniang lowered her head, repeating many words over and over again, in Wang Qilang's eyes that were gradually turning red, Handed him a few banknotes of different sizes: "This is 1000 taels of silver, you have to keep the whole ones, and hide them next to your body so that no one will find out, and put the small ones in your sleeves and think about it when you arrive in the capital." Turning it into cash, the marquis's mansion is deep, even if there are slaves among the servants, with money by their side, there can always be more ways."

"Sister Hui..." Wang Qilang's eyes turned red, and he called softly to Su Huiniang.

Su Huiniang lowered her head as if she hadn't heard, and continued: "When you arrive at the Hou's mansion, you must change your temperament, and you can no longer be rampant. You must be filial and kind to the elders in the mansion, and make them like you. In order to have a good life, remember that no matter what you want to do in the future, no matter what kind of career you achieve, you are still just an underage child, put away your teeth, wings and so on, even if it is pretending , and be patient."

Tick ​​tock, teardrops couldn't stand it anymore, no matter how she tried to control her emotions, she still cried in the end.

"Sister Hui, don't cry, don't cry!" Wang Qilang showed anxiety on his face, and said incoherently: "It's all Xiao Qi's fault, you, you hit me a few times to vent your anger...or kick me a few times Xiaoqi just begs sister Hui not to cry." Su Huiniang wanted to cry even more after hearing this, and at this moment, the dead child didn't even say that he couldn't go to the capital. If he stayed here, it could be seen that he was determined.In vain he usually clings to himself so tightly, as if he can't live without him, but now... a subtle feeling of being abandoned or betrayed arises in his heart, Su Huiniang cried and accused : "Little heartless, leave as soon as you say, woo woo... I have raised you for three years in vain."

How much painstaking effort did she spend growing from a shriveled dry wood to a white and tender doll, but now that she is taking advantage of others for nothing, how can Su Huiniang feel better? Originally, she raised Wang Qilang half as a younger brother and half as a son. Now that "son" is going to be someone else's child, can she be happy?
Wang Qilang is such a clever person, after listening to Su Huiniang's words, he immediately understood the meaning of it, only to see him chuckle, give her a blank look, and then said: "Sister Hui, what did you think?" It's not that we will never see each other again, after I settle down in the capital, I will send someone over to pick you up immediately."

How could Su Huiniang take his words seriously? Even if he wanted to, others might not agree.But after crying like this, Su Huiniang finally calmed down. Seeing Wang Qilang worrying and looking at herself carefully, Su Huiniang secretly thought that she really lived and went back, but she said: "Then I But wait, if you just run away like this, I will scold you for being heartless every day, and make your ears feverish every day." The two siblings talked reluctantly for a while, and Mother Xing came from outside. The cry of people, the time to part has finally come.

"You can't just leave like this!" A figure suddenly rushed into the yard, baring its teeth and waving its claws to make a reproach, shouting loudly: "My mother has worked so hard to raise this little rabbit and child to such a big size. It hurts like a sweetheart on weekdays, if you say take it away, take it away, there is no such reason in the world."

Who is that disheveled and rolling around, Pishi?

"That's right, is it easy for us to raise Qilang so big? If the two of us hadn't blocked the door quietly, would you have slipped away like this?" Following behind Mrs. Pi, Mrs. Tian also accused him clamorously.It was as if they had done something unseen, and they were in a hurry to run away, and Mama Xing's face turned bad in an instant.She was brought by his wife from her natal family, even in Yongping Hou's mansion, she still has a bit of face, she has never been yelled at by someone like this, not to mention, the people who yelled at her were two foolish women from the mountains.

A sneer emerged from the corner of her lips, and Mother Xing asked in a neutral tone, "What do you want?"

"What about it?" Mrs. Pi showed a look like you don't pretend to be confused, and directly tore off the skin, and demanded: "Wang Qilang was raised by our family, without us he would have no idea where he would die. Well, for such a great kindness, his parents will have to repay it, just, um, 1000 taels of silver, one tael less, you don’t even think about taking it away.”

These days, Mother Xing has already found out Wang Qilang's living conditions over the years, and what kind of temperament the members of the Wang family have. Through the mouths of the villagers, she also knows a lot, and finally The key is Wang Qilang's attitude. From the first day of meeting, he has shown indifference and boredom to this so-called "adoptive mother". How could Xing's mother not see it.

That being the case, there is no need to be polite at all, Mother Xing smiled and called out: "Fourth Master Yan, I'll leave it to you."

That Yansi grinned and opened his mouth wide: "That's great!"
