Li was stunned for a moment and was about to say something, but after hearing Su Luo's words, she calmed down and thought for a moment, "That's okay. After all, it takes a long time to go to Western Wei."
If you really have a child at this time, you will have to endure hardships on the road.
"It's good that he can think about you like this." After all, not everyone can bear it after getting married. Some people don't care whether you feel good or not, they just want to be happy and comfortable.
"You are married, and your parents will not be around you in the future. You must also learn to be sensible. If he is busy, you should take care of the family affairs well. Don't always think about what comes out, and you must also be filial to the good old man. "
"Mr. Huo is his master, and he is also your brother's master. He is old, and my uncle and your brother are busy, so you can help take care of him and show your filial piety."
Su Luo didn't have any objections to showing her filial piety to the elderly, but she didn't agree with it if it came out as soon as she thought about it.
"Every thought comes to me as soon as it comes up. I'm not a child anymore, so I definitely won't. Mother, don't always look at me the same way you used to."
Li Shi glanced at her, as if she didn't believe it: "It's said that the nature is hard to change. Besides, I gave birth to you and raised you for nearly twenty years. What do you look like? I, a mother, can't blame you." Not sure yet?"
Su Luo touched her nose and felt a little embarrassed. She reluctantly explained: "Okay, mother, I have a sense of discretion. At most, I will ask my family about anything I do in the future."
When Mrs. Li heard what she said, she breathed a sigh of relief, and then became a little worried: "Sometimes people around you can't believe everything. You have to know what you know and be more thoughtful."
The girl is so silly and silly, she is really worried to death.
Su Luo responded hurriedly: "Okay, I understand."
The mother and daughter gathered together and chatted for a long time. Su Luo was about to travel far away, and she couldn't bear to leave her mother. She stayed close to her mother, thinking about the separation, and felt a little sad.
"Mother, do you think you and your father have been happy these years?"
Li Shi paused: "Why do you ask that?"
Su Luo pouted: "I just wanted to ask."
Li sighed: "Your father, I guess, wasn't very successful in the past, but that's okay." In the past, Su Xun was indeed not very successful. He even wanted to rely on Zu Yin for the rest of his life, but he was promoted by His Majesty because of his treasure offering. He became a minister, and after those years of trembling with fear, he became the pillar of the house.
Mrs. Li stretched out her hand and touched Su Luo's hair: "When I married him, some people laughed at me for climbing a high tree, and some laughed at me for being someone's stepmother. But she is just a stepmother, and someone like the Li family can climb up. It’s also very satisfying.”
At that time, no one in the Li family was dissatisfied with this marriage. Even though she was marrying off with a huge dowry, the Li family was very happy. It was precisely because of this marriage that the Li family became a noble family, and in the imperial family The city stood firm.
"He has treated me well over the years." Although she is a stepmother, her life is indeed much easier than others.
The husband does not take concubines, and the stepdaughter will not come to trouble her. Without wives and concubines fighting for favor and children, the family is much more leisurely and has less worries. The only thing she worried about back then was probably her mother's family, no matter how convenient it was. I did something wrong, and I was so punished that I didn’t even dare to take a breath.
But when something happens, he will stand up to protect his wife and children.
Ms. Li felt that she was lucky in life to be married to such a person and to have a pair of children. However, when she thought about it occasionally, she felt a regret.
He had previously decided to marry Su Luo to Huo Yan. After the Western Wei Dynasty was stable and the elders in the hall returned a hundred years later, they would go to the Western Wei Dynasty to reunite with their children. However, he also said that after a hundred years, he wanted to be buried here. He is buried with the Yue family in the Su family cemetery.
He didn't want to leave the Yue family here alone. During his lifetime, he stayed with his wife and children in a foreign country. After his death, he wanted to come back to stay with his first wife.
Husband and wife lived together, slept together, and died together in the same coffin. Yue was the original wife. This was the right thing to do. There was no reason why they would be buried together with their step-brothers a hundred years later and cast aside the original wife.
Sometimes she also thought that if they could meet earlier, she could be his first wife. Later, when she thought about it, she felt that it was an extravagant wish. How could a prince's son marry a merchant girl?
If the Yue family hadn't disappeared and he had become a widower, how could she possibly have entered this door.
As fate would have it, she was too greedy and wanted to keep him even after death.
Mrs. Li wiped her tears and didn't want to think about those things anymore. She just told Su Luo: "Since we are husband and wife, we must cherish this fate and don't think nonsense about what is and is not."
Su Luo nodded: "I understand, mother."
Li asked her again: "When will you set off?"
Su Luo said: "He said he would come back to have a meal with you before leaving in three days. He will leave then."
"good."
After returning home, Su Luo started to pack her things. She thought about it and divided the things into two parts. One part was given to her mother to help take care of it, and the other half was taken to the Western Wei Dynasty, so as not to cause anything to happen and ruin all the belongings. there is none left.
Naturally, Ms. Li did not refuse her own daughter. She happened to be worried that Su Luo would bring so much money there. If it was stolen or something happened, the loss would be great. She happened to have nothing to do.
On the third day, Huo Yan and Su Luo went back to the Duke Ning's Mansion for dinner. The Duke Ning's Mansion set up a banquet to bid farewell to them. Seeing that her grandchildren were leaving, Mrs. Wang was even more reluctant to leave, but she still had to leave.
Su Luo shed tears when she saw Wang's hair was gray and her face was full of wrinkles.
The three of them kowtowed to their elders, and Su Luo said, "Grandpa, grandmother, father and mother, A'luo can't bear to leave you either."
Ms. Li couldn't help crying. She turned her head and said nothing.
Su Xun said: "The world once said, 'The young eagle leaves the nest and spreads its wings.' You have all grown up, so go fly. Whatever the future, you will walk out on your own, and there is no need to worry about us."
"But no matter what, you have to pay attention to safety. Your life is the most important, and everything else is secondary."
The three of them nodded in agreement. They were reluctant to leave when Su Luo left that day, and they tossed and turned even more at night. They didn't sleep all night. When Huo Yan saw that she didn't sleep, he pulled her up to drink some wine and talk.
As soon as it got dark, the yard became busy. After breakfast, the suitcase cage was loaded onto the carriage, and they were about to leave.
People from the Jinning Palace and her good sister Zhao Jiyue came to see her off.
The willow trees on the shore sway gently in the wind, and the long pavilion is covered with green grass and vines. They say goodbye to each other and cherish each one.
After getting on the carriage, she felt the carriage move forward and the wheels rolled over the familiar streets and left the city. Su Luo looked back at the gate of the Imperial City again and couldn't help but shed tears.
Huo Yan sat in the carriage with her and reached out to shake her hand to express comfort.
The past has become the past, and the future is coming in a hurry.
They will join hands and move towards their lifetime.
Maybe it's the ups and downs, or maybe it's the fireworks in the world that warm my loneliness in this life.
But since we join hands, we have the courage to walk through life together.
