Xia Yunzhu knew what her mother-in-law meant, and she had no intention of returning to the Su family. Although it was not easy for her family to return to its former glory, it was good for the family to live a tidy life.
As for how tall the Su family's lintel is, no one knows what I have been through better than my mother-in-law. If I really want to come back and live in the Su family, I still feel like I can't hold my head high.
Su Shikun was completely obedient to him, and his two children were both smart and cute. In this life, wealth is destined to come, and it is impossible to ask for it.
"Last time, my eldest sister acted recklessly in Beijing. Shikun and I will never keep an eye on our family and Lan Niang," Xia Yunzhu said.
Chen Yu glanced at Xia Yunzhu and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing, it's just a few words. The Su family has its own rules for doing things. If others say something nice, it will go in one ear and out the other.
Yes, it's up to you to live your life. Although the eldest is now a member of the Xia family and is no different from a married daughter, you don't have to be restricted when moving around. Everyone has their own life and they all live peacefully. I can see that.
Happy."
"Yes, you can always see clearly that we don't have a sense of propriety in doing things. We came back this time to add beauty to Lan Niang. I won't mention the past things, but it is a happy event for a child to grow up and get married, and Shikun is also interested in it.
It's so good that other families don't lack it, so I compiled all the Xia family's weaving and dyeing methods into a book, and Lan Niang added the ones at the bottom of the box." Xia Junzhu said with a smile: "Don't dislike being shabby."
Chen Yu patted Xia Yunzhu's arm: "Yunzhu, it's a blessing for me to have a woman like you to accompany me for the rest of my life. As for adding makeup, if nothing else, Lan Niang is happy to see you here. This is
Let go of the constant family affection.”
Zheng Yue'e came in, took out the lucky bag with a red thread from the maid's hand, and said with a smile: "It's the first time these two babies have come back, so according to the rules, they have to hang up the thread."
Xia Yunzhu stood up quickly: "Second husband... Yue'e, please don't be polite."
"It stands to reason that you should call me sister-in-law. This is not a courtesy. We can't throw away the old rules." Zheng Yue'e smiled and hung up the lines for Xia Sitong and Xia Baozhu. She said auspicious words, then turned around and took the tray carried by the maid to Chen Yu.
Step forward: "Mom, this is a meeting gift prepared by Chunhua and others. Please see if it suits you."
Chen Yu lifted up the red cloth and took a look. There were four pairs of gold longevity locks that were exactly the same size but with different patterns. He nodded: "I've got it all figured out."
With her mother-in-law's permission, Zheng Yue'e lifted the red cloth, and her four aunts prepared gold longevity locks for Xia Sitong and Xia Baozhu. The two children were a little timid.
The marriage was very busy, and Lan Niang's little sisters were accompanying her. Zheng Yue'e also asked the maid Tao'er [previously called Yuetao, I was wrong] to go over and talk to the eldest lady.
Lan Niang was not in a hurry, but asked Tao'er: "How many are here?"
"Miss, the whole family of four is here. Our old lady looks very happy. The second lady has prepared a longevity blessing bag, and several ladies have prepared greeting gifts." Tao'er replied respectfully.
Lan Niang smiled, but in fact she knew in her heart that her father would never come back to the Su family in this life, but this was good. At least he could live peacefully in the Xia family, and he was living a prosperous life and being contented.
He took the maid to grandma's house, bowed according to the rules, talked for a while and then went back.
Xia Yunzhu knew that the alienation of the Su family was unavoidable. Everyone was warm and in compliance with the rules, but it was all about hospitality. It was good to be like this. If there was more or less movement in the future, it would be natural.
Su Erlang found a secluded place ahead of him and asked his elder brother every detail.
Su Shikun told the whole story about his family's life and business.
"Let's live a good life. No matter how you say we are brothers, even if we marry into the Xia family, we will come back often to visit when we have time." Su Erlang said.
Su Shikun smiled: "Shi'an, don't think about it. I can't come back. My mother knows it in her heart, and I, as a son, also know it. It will be good for our family and the Xia family to be relatives in the future. Everyone has life.
I am satisfied now."
"Okay." Su Erlang smiled: "When the eldest brother encounters difficulties, he will come to the second brother."
The whole family was busy waiting for the bride-to-be. When Liu Xisheng rode a big horse and came to Sujiazhuang in red and colorful clothes, the whole Sujiazhuang was in a state of excitement. Every family wanted to marry their daughter-in-law to their daughter, especially Lan Niang.
This life is so good. Look at how handsome this little son-in-law is. Some people couldn't help but slap their son twice: "Look! Why does he look so good? You are so mean-spirited!"
It made everyone nearby burst into laughter.
The road was paved with loess, and the whole village went out to greet them in person. The wedding of Liu Xisheng and Lan Niang was a lively event.
Su Lan Niang and Liu Xi Sheng said goodbye to the Su family. Su Lan Niang got on the sedan chair, accompanied by Leng Xiang and Xun Mei. These two girls have been with Lan Niang since then. They are the dowry girls named by Chen Yu.
In the front, Liu Xisheng rode a tall horse and walked out beside the sedan chair. In the back, the carriage carrying the goods from all over the world carried the dowry. It was no less majestic than when Fu Niang got married.
Zheng Yue'e led a procession to see off her bride, and her aunt and little sisters followed. Su Erlang and several brothers went with him.
The Su family compound became quiet.
Mrs. Wang stood at the gate with Chen Yu, showing no intention of coming back for a long time.
"Old madam, we've gone far, and our eldest lady will be taken care of by the eldest lady over there, so don't worry about it," Mrs. Wang said.
Chen Yu nodded: "It's time to get married. I almost made you an old girl. Come back."
After entering the house, Chen Yu said to Mrs. Wang, "Have the Su Shikun family left yet?"
"No, the Second Madam asked you to be magnanimous once before she left. If I want to kowtow to you, please don't refuse," Mrs. Wang said.
Chen Yu smiled: "Why don't you give in? I can bear his kowtow, no matter how much, so go and call him."
Others don't know why Chen Yu refuses to let Su Shikun return to the Su family, but Chen Yu knows very well that Su Shikun's mother has died long ago. Although it is not entirely due to Su Shikun, he is the last straw that breaks the original owner's life.
He can lead the Su family to live a good life, but he is not qualified to forgive Su Shikun on behalf of the original owner.
A person who has betrayed his family cannot share the joys and sorrows, so how can he be qualified to share the joys and sorrows?
Su Shikun came over with his wife and children, and the whole family knelt down and kowtowed to Chen Yu respectfully. Chen Yu silently said to the original owner: That's okay, let's leave it like that.
"Mom, we don't have to stay much longer. We are going back to Jinghe Mansion now. Please take care of yourself." Su Shikun thought he wouldn't feel too uncomfortable, but as soon as he said these words, tears couldn't stop pouring out, and he knelt down.
He lowered his head on the ground and did not dare to raise his head.
Chen Yu stood up, came over to support him, took the handkerchief and put it into Su Shikun's hand: "Go back and live a good life. Junzhu is a good person, and the two children are good. This is your blessing. People have to cherish blessings."
"Mother." Su Shikun couldn't help but burst into tears.
Chen Yu sighed: "You are being ignorant if you do this. Do you want someone of my age to cry with you? Besides, you have a good life, why are you crying?"
"Well, my son is back, my son is back." Su Shikun couldn't say anything else, so he took the family out and got into the carriage.
The two children were frightened by their father's behavior. Xia Baozhu pulled her father's sleeve: "Dad, aren't you happy?"
Su Shikun shook his head: "No, dad is very happy, but dad has done too many wrong things, and there is no point in regretting it. In the future, you and your brother should remember that this Su family is the root of dad. When you grow up, you should move around more for dad.
That’s all.”
Xia Yunzhu hugged his son: "Look at what you said. If you really regret it, let's live a good life. If we can't save everything later, we can still help."
Su Shikun looked at Xia Yunzhu: "Mom is right, I have a good wife and I cherish my blessing."
Mrs. Wang changed Chen Yu's tea to hot tea: "Old madam, it's good to see that the uncle's family is neat and tidy."
