Chapter 2571 Impermanence (4)
Yu Huan's marriage was put on hold again, but Qingshu was not in a hurry to look for it slowly.
Two days later, Qingshu got news that the old Duke and Wu Zhengxiao were about to arrive in Shengjing and would be able to return to Beijing in four or five days. After the trip, she told the grandmother the good news: "Grandmother, you will soon see your godfather and third brother."
Wu Zhengxiao's return to Beijing this time is different from the past. He returned in triumph.
The lady was very happy to hear this, but she looked at Qingshu too hard and raised her face and said, "Isn't it said that you wouldn't listen to you after a few days?"
Qingshu didn't argue with her, but said, "It was Yi'an who asked me to come and visit you every day. If I don't obey her, she will punish me. If you don't want me to come, then tell Yi'an."
The lady was very helpless, why did each one not obey?
As the two were talking, they heard a mess of footsteps. Qingshu looked at the door and saw Mrs. Wu pulling a middle-aged man with a bearded face and walking in quickly.
Mrs. Wu said excitedly: "Mom, mom, see who is back."
As soon as he saw the middle-aged man, Qingshu stood up and gave a blessing: "Second brother."
Qingshu thoughtful when he saw Wu Zhengshou. It took only seven or eight days to go from Beijing to Shengjing to quickly go back and forth, but this time it took half a month to arrive, and I don’t know if it was intentional.
The lady looked up for a while and tears fell down her face: "Zhengshou, is Zhengshou you?"
Wu Zhengshou walked to the bed and knelt down, cried and said, "Grandma, it's me, my grandson is unfilial, and he cannot serve his grandmother."
Qingshu browed, but said nothing.
The lady touched his beard and said with great distress: "Zhengshou, why are you so haggard? Is life difficult now?"
Not only is he haggard, but he also looks aged, and there are many wrinkles on his face.
Wu Zhengshou shook his head and said, "No, I am living a good life now, just because I miss you and my mother. Grandma, I'm sorry, it's because my grandson is unfilial but hasn't come back to visit you all these years."
Mrs. Wu cried into tears.
Qingshu comforted her for a while before she stopped crying, and then deliberately said, "Godmother, have you ordered the kitchen to make some dishes that my second brother likes?"
The chef of Duke Zhenguo has changed, but the chef may not know Wu Zhengshou's taste. Of course, she said this specifically to let her not cry for something to do. The road she had chosen was Wu Zhengshou himself, and he should bear the regret and guilt.
Mrs. Wu wiped her tears and said, "You are saying it very well, I'll go and order the kitchen now."
The grandmother looked at Qingshu and said, "Qingshu, the children at home are still waiting for you to go back quickly. They are tired of running back and forth. I will not come tomorrow after listening to my grandmother's words."
"good."
Wu Zhengshou has not returned home for more than ten years and has to say a lot between his grandparents and grandchildren, and mother and son. She will not be here to prevent the three of them from reminiscing about the past.
After walking out of the gate of the Duke's Mansion, Qingshu breathed a sigh of relief.
Honggu asked, "Madam, what's wrong with you?"
Qingshu leaned against the carriage and whispered: "I'm thinking about my second brother. Do you think he abandoned everything because of love, or did he not want to be ruled by the Wu family and wanted to jump out?"
No matter what the reason, the price is very painful.
This Hong Gu couldn't answer, but she knew that Wu Zhengshou regretted it: "In the end, no man who abandoned his family, his wife and children would not regret it."
"I can't turn back. But because my grandmother's time is not too long, my godfather won't drive him away, but that's all."
If you are wrong, you are wrong. There is no turning back in life. Therefore, you need to remain absolutely calm before making a major decision so that you will not regret it in the future.
"The Queen is now very strong in speaking, otherwise the old Duke might not have let him in."
Qingshu smiled and said, "This is the role of power."
When she got home, Kikyo handed Qingluan a letter from her and said, "This letter was sent by the second aunt's entourage, and there was also an obituary with the letter."
As soon as she heard the obituary coming, Qingshu quickly opened the letter and read it. After reading it, she was very helpless. It was as she expected that Old Man Tan was gone.
When she returned to Beijing, Qingluan was still complaining to her that she was afraid that Mr. Tan would not leave, but she didn't expect that the person would be gone so soon. Fortunately, Mr. Tan was gone in his hometown and could not involve Qingluan and the Jingye.
When Hong Gu knew that Mr. Tan was dead, her first reaction was: "When this old man died, wouldn't our son-in-law want Ding You again?"
"Um."
After his father and mother died of illness for three years and failed to take the imperial examination, many people were delayed by the poor luck when they met filial piety. Therefore, whether they are at the top depends not only on their talents but also on their luck.
Hong Gu couldn't help but sympathize with Qing Luan: "My second son-in-law is so lucky. He made a contribution in Hunan last time because Ding You got the successor; this time he did so well in Suzhou, he could take a step forward after this assessment, and Ding You was delayed again."
"This is also impossible."
These successive worryings have a huge impact on the career of the business industry. According to previous examples, it will reach the third grade at most in the future.
As soon as Fu Jingen arrived at home in the evening, Qingshu told him about this: "Old Master Tan died, and his business has been in trouble for another three years."
As soon as he heard this, Fu Jingen understood and said, "Mr. Tan died by accident, right?"
Qingshu nodded and said, "Yes. Qingluan said in the letter that Tan Jingkui and him had a quarrel over the test, and they were very fierce. Mr. Tan was so angry that he started to act. Tan Jingkui was unwilling to be beaten passively, so he pushed the person. Mr. Tan was not wary of him, and he would fight back. After pushing him like this, he fell back. Unfortunately, he hit his head and hit the ground, and he died before he was sent to the clinic."
Fu Jingen's eyes flashed with disgust and said, "It's his fault that he can't raise a godfather, and he's responsible for this ending."
If he hadn't taught Tan Jingkui well, he wouldn't have developed this selfish son.
Qingshu couldn't help but sigh: "He took it upon himself. He just felt sorry for his business. He worked diligently for a few years and then could go up one level after the assessment next year, but because of Dingyou, he was shattered.
Fu Jingen also felt that his business was unlucky. He was not promoted this time and was still a fifth-rank official position next time. It would be difficult to catch up after falling behind others so much: "Ding You is only in his early thirties, as long as he is not afraid of hardships and promotion opportunities in the future."
She naturally knew this, just thinking that Qingluan would definitely be frustrated. However, thinking about it in the best is not all bad things, at least no one will use filial piety to suppress the couple in the future.
Fu Jingen nodded and said, "What else did the second sister say besides this?"
