Chapter 011 Such a father-daughter relationship
"I went out early, I was afraid I missed it. I had packed my luggage yesterday, so I was too lazy to unbox it again. The road left and right is not far."
"It's good that nothing happened. Your second aunt happened to be back to her parents' home these days. You have been close to her since you were a child, otherwise it would be better if she had helped you."
"It's okay, my wife has done it well."
When he spoke in a bad manner, the maid brought the refreshments.
Although Xu was middle-aged, he was also a wife and mother for a short time. He felt a little uncomfortable with his stepdaughter. After getting tea, she said, "I must have heard about the matter in the front yard. I was busy organizing tea and meals before, and I didn't have time to greet you, afraid that I was negligent. What is missing in the room? Let the maids come directly to find ginkgo, and she will send it over."
Su Mu responded, said "thank you" and said, "I heard that my wife was busy, so I went to Yizhitang first and taught him a few words of lessons before I came to pay my respects to my wife. I mistreat the courtesy, and I hope my wife will not blame me."
"Have you been to Yizhitang?" Xu was surprised.
Su Hua smiled and said, "I have been there, and I have asked him to go to the front yard. He is the eldest son of the eldest brother, and Brother Zhen and Brother You and the others have gone. It doesn't matter that he hides behind and does nothing. I am the eldest sister, so it's time to urge him."
Xu looked at her for a while, nodded and said, "No wonder."
Su Qi has always refused to show up in front of Su Shou, let alone such an occasion? It turned out that Su Hua urged him.
Recalling the relationship between their siblings in the past, she said: "Brother Zhen said before, Qi Ge'er unlocked the lock, and he solved the big problem for your father and the Su family. The box was so difficult that it was to be scolded by the emperor. Your father was so worried that his hair was almost white, and he only had to write a memorial to apologize to the emperor. He had such ability, and your father was already thinking about praising him. I guess you knew all these things?"
Su Hua said: "Children should be humble first and should not give too much praise, otherwise they will be more proud. However, he has always been criticized and hit hard, and it is not easy to be praised once. I think it is okay to be encouraged appropriately."
Since it is a compliment, don’t be in vain. Let him take it away first, and then she will take it back to get his filial piety.
Xu heard her speak slowly, responding without any leakage, and was at ease, and the topic gradually became a little unsustainable.
She has no experience as a mother and is among her husband, who died prematurely. How can she be so close?
In my impression, Su Hua was gentle, quiet, well-behaved and obedient, and never caused any trouble for herself. She was very worry-free. But apart from her good temperament and good looks, this young lady was actually not close to anyone. She returned after half a year after leaving the house, and she seemed to be separated from others - it was fine, after all, she lost her mother at a young age, and was always a little disappointed.
But in addition, this teenage girl's eyes seemed too deep and unsightly to see through. You said she was calm and indifferent, and she smiled with you, saying that she was enthusiastic and innocent, and wherever she looked, no matter whether it was a person or a thing, whether it was a bird, flowers, trees, or furniture, it seemed that she was not within her concern.
Xu didn't want to study her too much, but she was in the middle of her robbery after all, and it was time to discuss marriage. She would be out of the box soon, which means that they didn't have much time to live together. So, as a stepmother, should do her best to keep a good reputation?
Thinking of this, she looked over again, and the girl sitting facing her was not sure what she was looking at, her eyes wandering inch by inch, as if she was reviewing the little deeper impression of the room in her mind. In this scrutiny, the calmness beyond her age became more obvious.
"Madam, the master is back and said that he will prepare a few more dishes for dinner and reward the second master."
The maid ginkgo came in and reported.
When Su Mu heard this, he asked, "Did the emperor not tell me that my father also entered the palace?"
"There is no news yet. Wouldn't it be better if you don't spread it? Your father has never been willing to get involved in these things too deeply."
After Xu finished speaking, he waved to the maid: "You go to the kitchen yard to pass on a message. The eldest girl happened to go home and prepare a few more dishes that the eldest girl likes." As she said that, she and Su Wu said: "Brother Qi really gave parents Su's face. It's rare to be so happy today. I'll have dinner in the main yard. I haven't seen your father for a long time, and the father and daughter are talking well."
Su Qi in Xu's eyes was stubborn since he was a child, and he was greedy for learning. He had never treated him well, whether it was his schoolwork or his ancestral skills. Today, the front yard sword was defeated by the situation, and he had never thought of a way to solve the problem. Su Qi went there and solved it. She couldn't believe it, but she had to believe it even if she didn't believe it.
Su Wu replied: "It was not supposed to be rejecting the wife's love, but my father should be very busy today and couldn't speak, so I'd just give up."
Han Mo made such a big mistake, and it was obvious that he had handed over a handle to arrest him. When she came earlier, she had heard that Luo Zhi and others had entered the palace to file a lawsuit. Su Shou, as the young minister of Dali Temple, was also a witness to the opening of the bronze box. I was afraid that it would be difficult for him to get involved. Even if the emperor had not told him that he had entered the palace, he would not have the leisure to talk to her, right?
To take a step back, even if he has such leisure, Su Hua is not interested.
In her life, the word father is equivalent to a symbol. As far as I can remember, Su Shou has worked in another place. He did not take his wife and children to take up his post, and he met him only a few times. Even when he came back, he always lived in the study and did not go back to this main courtyard.
When Su Mu first met his father, he was very intimate and looked forward to it, but every time he came to him, he either ignored him or hugged him. He was impatient with his face and sat on his knees and put him down. When she was four years old, her mother gave birth to Su Qi, and finally there were people who passed on the family line in the eldest room, and his father came back rarely in several years.
Until he finally returned to Beijing to work, she was already twelve years old, and many things changed at that time.
In such a father-daughter relationship, what is the need to speak?
All the memories of this main courtyard, this room are her and her mother, and there is no father.
Now, even the shadow of his mother has allowed Xu, whom he quickly married back.
Su Hua never denies that she is a member of the Su family and is protected by the family to have such a life and identity. So no matter what she is, she regards maintaining the reputation of the Su family as the primary principle. She also used Su Qi's hands to resolve the crisis given by Han Mo, but she did not think she should accept such a father. These are two different things.
Su Hua took the two-inch square box from Fusang's hand, opened it and put it on the table: "I specially asked someone to call this long-lived lock to ask Brother Li for good luck. The wife is busy with her, so I will go back to the room first."
She stood up as she said that.
