Chapter 228 Help!

"Your mother gave me some money before, and I haven't spent it all yet. It will be enough to repair the cemetery and use for sacrifices in the future. I really can't take any more money from you."

"What my mother gave me is what she gave me. These are my tokens of my love." Su Yujin said, "I will have to trouble Uncle Chen a lot in the future. Uncle Chen, please accept these. In the future, when you give sacrifices to my parents and my elder brother, they will also be counted as my share. This is also my token of love."

Shopkeeper Chen thought about it and nodded, "Since you say so, I will accept it."

"When you enter the city, don't go to Chen's first. Just go to the small road south of Chen's and sit at their house. I will also give you some of their relics. You can take them out and look at them every day. It will comfort you."

"Okay." Su Yujin agreed.

The carriage moved forward all the way, and after entering the city, it followed the route that Manager Chen had described and stopped in front of his home.

Several people entered the house together, and after a short while, Shopkeeper Chen found a box.

The box was an ordinary box, about two feet wide, high and three feet long, not very big, and there was a copper lock hanging on it.

After checking the key and finding no problem, Shopkeeper Chen handed it to Su Yujin. "Since your parents settled here, their business has not been going smoothly. The house they live in and the spice shop they run are all rented from other people. When something happens to your father and eldest brother, your mother..."

"I haven't even finished taking care of my funeral affairs when the master of the house came to take back the house and shop one after another. He even asked me to pack up all the things in the house and shop to pay the rent for the rest of the year. I persuaded him to take out some of the most important things and put them away. Firstly, I wanted to keep them as a memory, and secondly, I was thinking that if you are still alive, I can give them to you if we meet again in the future. It's an explanation."

"Now that you're back, I'll give you all these things. You can take them back with you as a keepsake."

Whenever you miss your family, you can take it out and look at it.

Although I will probably feel sadder the more I look at it, having these things is better than leaving my family with nothing.

All I can say is that this family has a miserable life. They cannot be reunited in peace and safety in this life, and have to go through so many separations and deaths.

Shopkeeper Chen sighed silently in his heart.

Su Yujin also had a gloomy expression. She rubbed the key with both hands and the box for a long time before she thanked Manager Chen and moved the box onto the carriage.

After returning to the inn room, Su Yujin opened the box to take a look.

There were several bracelets, necklaces, hairpins and other jewelry made of pure silver or gold-plated materials, all of which were neither new nor old, and looked ordinary. They were probably what Gu was used to wearing on a daily basis.

An abacus, probably the one used by Su Huaiyi. One of the beads is missing, revealing the color of the wood.

There was a red sandalwood paperweight and several books, one of which had Su Hongyu's name written on it, presumably it was what he used on a daily basis.

The remaining ones were a few relatively new but obviously worn clothes.

The original owner was still young when he went missing. Although he remembered that he had three relatives, his parents and his brother, it had been so long that he had no impression of their appearance or stature.

Su Yujin picked up the clothes and looked at them carefully, measuring them meticulously, and roughly estimated the current heights and body shapes of her parents and brothers.

Su Huaiyi's dress was slightly wider but not long. He was not very tall, about 1.75 meters. Gu's dress was of similar size to the one she was wearing, so she must be a thin person.

As for Su Hongyu's clothes, if we compare them, he is probably a man of about the same height, size and body shape as He Yanxiu. He has studied for many years and has passed the imperial examination. I guess he is a well-mannered scholar...

With the image of the three of them in her mind, Su Yujin felt as if she had met her own family. She couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled knowingly.

…

After staying here for a few more days, Su Yujin and He Yanxiu said goodbye to Manager Chen and left by boat.

When the boat goes north, although there are sometimes very good wind directions, it is actually going upstream in terms of the water flow, so the boatman needs to use the oars as power to move forward slowly.

The speed of going north was half as slow as that of going south, but because Su Yujin had already paid homage to her parents and brothers and got rid of the regrets in her heart, her mood was much calmer than before and she could occasionally smile.

He Yanxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that the weather was clear tonight and the moon was bright in the sky, he pulled Su Yujin to the window on the second floor to have tea and admire the moon.

In early April, all the flowers and fruit trees along the river are in full bloom. The petals fall in the wind and float on the river surface, with a pleasant fragrance that lingers for a long time.

Su Yujin took a sip of the fragrant Longjing tea in the teacup, sniffed the floral fragrance, looked at the bright and clear full moon, listened to the sound of water splashing below, and could not help but squinting her eyes.

She was just traveling by boat, but she felt very comfortable and intoxicated. If she were boating on the lake, she would feel very comfortable and would probably feel even better.

It is no wonder that so many scholars and literati throughout the ages like to travel by boat at night. The wonderful experience is indeed extraordinary.

If there were music of stringed instruments, I would probably enjoy it even more.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Su Yujin was just thinking about it when she suddenly heard a clear and elegant singing voice accompanied by the ups and downs of a pipa sound, slowly approaching from afar.

Then, a pleasure boat was seen approaching slowly. The boat was brightly lit and five or six young gentlemen could be seen toasting each other on it. Next to them were two young girls in bright clothes, playing the pipa and singing songs to entertain them.

The pipa's fingering is skillful, mixed with the sound of water, like a silver bottle suddenly breaking, red jade flying out, with the feeling of large and small pearls falling on a jade plate. The singing is even more melodious and graceful, like the singing of a yellow oriole and the gurgling of water...

Su Yujin was somewhat fascinated by the song and nodded repeatedly. When the song ended, she exclaimed, "Excellent."

There was thunderous applause and cheers on the pleasure boat. Because everyone was in high spirits after drinking, the movements were quite large and someone's arm touched the wine jug on the table.

The wine spilled all over the table and dripped onto the floor.

Seeing this, the people present hurried to get the wine jug, but in their panic, they accidentally knocked over the lantern on the table.

The lantern fell down and was ignited by the candle inside. The flame instantly jumped out and ignited the wine that had just been spilled on the table.

The fire grew larger in an instant, igniting the rest of the lanterns, the wine in the cups, and the gauze curtains beside them...

Even the sleeves and hems of the young masters were stained with sparks, causing those people to rush to find water to put out the sparks, but in their haste, they made a mistake and poured a bowl of wine on them...

"Put out the fire!"

“Help!”

The pleasure boat suddenly became a mess.
