As a soldier, Yan Qing died loyally to protect his master, but who is not his mother's son? Being loyal cannot fulfill filial piety, and the price ordinary people have to pay is too high.
Through the fence gate, Chen Yu carefully looked at the yard in front of him.
The house was in dilapidated condition, and the tea leaves were dried in bamboo baskets. No matter where you looked, there was no trace of anyone else living here. This meant that it was very likely that only this old man lived in this yard.
Is she Yan Qing’s mother?
Yan's mother turned back and raised her sleeves to wipe her tears. Ever since she heard that the emperor died in the battle, she has been thinking about her son every day. Even the emperor, a noble person like him, has died. Yan Qing has always been a child with a straightforward mind since he was a child.
She hasn't seen him back for several months. She is too worried.
Very few people in Qilin Mountain would come to my shack. When I saw so many people, I wanted to ask. But how could the wife of a wealthy family know what happened before the battle? She was thinking that she would go crazy to ask people when she saw them.
.
"Old sister, my Shiro and Yan Qing are both serving in the army in the northwest." Chen Yu spoke out.
Yan's mother suddenly turned around, staggered and almost fell down, and ran over stumblingly: "Madam, are they back?"
"No, it's just a letter. My Shiro said he would be back soon. He and Yan Qing have a life-long friendship. What a coincidence. Who are you?" Chen Yu asked tentatively.
Yan's mother opened the door: "My son, Yan Qing is my son. Madam, come in quickly. What did you ask just now? Yes, yes, tea. I have good tea here."
Chen Yu felt sad but did not dare to show it. As she walked in, she said, "I am not a wife. My family is in business. When I saw this tea garden, I wanted to harvest tea."
"Collect the tea?" Yan's mother thought for a moment: "Then we have to wait for my boss and the others to come. I'm just here to look after the tea garden. I can't make any decisions."
Yan's mother took Chen Yu into the house. Leng Xiang and Xunmei were outside. It wasn't that they didn't want to go in, but the house was really too small.
"Madam, you can drink some tea to moisten your mouth first, and I'll boil water." Yan's mother said and was about to go out.
Chen Yu reached out and took her hand. Not to mention that the hand was rough and prickly, and the palms and fingertips were covered with calluses. This was a person who had worked hard all his life.
"Old sister, you don't have to go to work. Just leave the water boiling to the girl outside." Chen Yu asked Leng Xiang to boil the water. Seeing Yan's mother was very nervous, she said softly: "It's fate that we met. Let's sit down and talk.
Bar."
Yan's mother sat down and asked: "Madam, did your fourth master tell me how brave my young son is?"
"Being brave is a very powerful person." Chen Yu raised his thumb: "My Shiro said that they are all brothers in the northwest, so if my sister doesn't mind, just call me Ayu."
Yan's mother pinched the hem of her clothes nervously and lowered her head: "I don't dare, I don't dare. Madam, has my Qing'er said it back too?"
"Return, they are all coming back, saying they won't fight anymore." Chen Yu said after considering it.
Yan's mother's eyes turned red: "It's better not to fight. This kid Qing'er has been away from home for many years. When he left, he said he wanted to create peace. Is this peace now?"
Chen Yu didn't know how to respond to this question, and looked at Yan's mother: "My elder sister's eldest son doesn't live here?"
"They live in the city. My man spent his whole life growing this tea garden. Half of it is given to his eldest son, and the other half is reserved for my Qing'er. When Qing'er comes back, he can marry him and start a family.
Miles." Yan's mother's eyes were full of smiles, as if she saw her son coming back. She looked at Chen Yu, smiled, and burst into tears. She raised her hands to cover her face: "My Qing'er can't come back.
It’s coming, I know.”
This kind of grief penetrated Chen Yu's chest like a sharp knife. She stretched out her hand and held Yan's mother's hand: "Old sister."
"I know you are here to deliver a message. My young son is gone." Yan's mother withdrew her hand, covered her face and cried loudly.
Chen Yu felt out of breath, as if her neck had been pinched, and her chest was so swollen that it was about to explode. In the end, she shed tears along with it.
After crying for a while, Yan's mother stopped crying. Seeing that Chen Yu was also crying, her eyes were red, and she asked with a trembling voice: "My wife's son can't come back either?"
"I'm back, I lost my legs." Chen Yu looked at Yan's mother: "Old sister, I'm not lying to you. Yan Qing is very brave and has done a good job in escorting her, but she hasn't rewarded her for her merits yet. Although we are mothers
People, as long as their sons don’t want to be rich, but when it comes to this point, my sister has to be sad.”
Yan's mother didn't cry loudly this time, but her tears couldn't stop pouring out.
Chen Yu said softly: "My family, Shiro, and the others have all sworn that as long as those who survive, they must treat their brothers' relatives as their relatives, and their brothers' mothers as their mothers. Old sister, you have no Qing'er, but there are many Qing'er who are yours."
son."
"No, no," Yan's mother wiped her tears vigorously: "My young son won't come back, he won't come back."
Outside, the young woman pushed open the firewood door and came in. She first saw Yangui, and then saw two people dressed as maids standing outside the door. Her eyes suddenly lit up and she raised her voice: "Mom, here we come.
Distinguished guest?"
Hearing this voice, Yan's mother quickly wiped her tears. The panic made Chen Yu frown. The shack was only made of wood, and the bedding on it was almost balled up. One broken bowl was different from two
The long chopsticks were telling Chen Yu that Yan’s mother was suffering a lot.
Listening to the affectionate and strict attitude of the outsiders calling my mother, I had already guessed something.
Yan Fu's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jing, came to the door with a smile on her face. She bent down and entered the house. The musty smell in the house made her cover her nose with a handkerchief. The first thing she saw was Chen
Yu suddenly laughed and said, "Oh, Madam Guiren, I feel aggrieved. Come and have a rest in a bright place outside. My mother-in-law is not very well-thinking. Look at this. There are no rules. Madam Guiren, please don't blame her."
"I think it's pretty good." Chen Yu said lightly.
Mrs. Jing was a little embarrassed. After looking around, there was no place to sit down, so she simply stood: "Do you want to buy tea, Mrs. Guiren?"
"No, I was asked to come to see Mrs. Yan." Chen Yu looked at Mr. Jing, who was dressed in a fine cotton dress and dressed much more exquisitely. The Yan family seemed to have a lot of life.
Mrs. Jing then glanced at Yan's mother and saw her eyes were red. She immediately walked over and asked, "What's wrong? Did Yan Qing die for his country?"
"Yes." Chen Yu replied one word for Yan's mother.
Mrs. Jing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly howled: "Oh, my brother-in-law, why did he leave before he even got married and got a wife? This cost his life. It's so pitiful that the government didn't even say a word.
?Did a person die in vain? This is an act of loyalty and he sacrificed his life for the country."
Yan's mother felt her eyes darken when she screamed like this. She didn't know where the strength came from. She rushed over and grabbed Jing's hair bun with all her strength, and roared: "Don't you just look forward to it? You look forward to it every day.
Isn’t that right! This time you got your wish, even if I Qing’er dies, I won’t give you wealth in exchange for it!”
It was expected, but also a little unexpected. After all, Yan's mother was trying her best.
Mrs. Jing roared angrily: "Old godly woman! Let me go! Otherwise, I won't wait until you die, and I will bury you!"
The two people rolled together and started fighting. Chen Yu got up and went out: "Yan Gui, throw that young woman out!"
