Chapter 114 Reunion

Fortunately, Jun Qiulan took half a day off today.

Early in the morning, Song Xirong was talking about the chirping of magpies outside, wondering if something good was happening.

After a while, people came from the city.

They said that their relatives had come to seek refuge, a large group of people, both men and women, with their families.

They said that an elderly man was not feeling well and had gone to the clinic first, and then they sent someone to inform them.

Jun Qiulan and Jun Yu originally planned to talk to Duan Wen and Huo Lan about some serious matters today.

After hearing the news, they immediately told them on the intercom that they might not be able to get through today.

Those who come here with their families don’t have to think about anything else.

It must be my grandfather and his family that have arrived.

Hearing that an old man was not feeling well, the father and son ran to the city, leaving Song Xirong and her son to ride in Song Yan's donkey cart.

"These father and son are truly amazing! They run so fast! Can a two-legged creature outrun a four-legged one?"

Song Xirong was also anxious, after all, they were her parents and younger siblings.

Jun Shuwan was smart enough to bring the common medicines at home.

Trauma medicine, fever-reducing medicine, cold medicine, cough medicine, traumatic injury medicine...

A whole big medicine box.

Facts have proved that two-legged creatures can really run faster than four-legged creatures.

When Song Xirong and the other two arrived at the clinic, Jun Qiulan and Jun Yu had already started chatting with the old man.

It is indeed the Song family.

Song Xirong stood at the door of the clinic, her eyes were sore and tears fell almost in the blink of an eye.

When her family of four was exiled, all her family members were sent back to their ancestral home. She once thought that she would never be able to see her family again in her lifetime.

Unexpectedly, my parents really came, and they brought my younger brother and sister-in-law, nephews and nieces.

In more than a year, everyone seems to have changed. The former wealth is gone, the silks and satins are gone, and their faces seem to have become a little more vicissitudes of life, but everyone seems to have not changed, still wearing the same smile as before.

The clinic is such a small place. Looking up, everyone's face shows fatigue from the long journey, but they are not depressed. Instead, they have some expectations for life.

For some reason, Song Xirong almost didn't dare to step into the clinic.

The person who brought the news said that an old man was sick. Who was it?

Is it the father? Or the mother?

My parents could have enjoyed their old age in their hometown, but they traveled a long way to find them for the sake of our family.

"Mom, come in." Jun Shuwan's mood was also complicated.

Her maternal grandfather's family had always loved her and held her in the palm of their hands, even more so than her parents.

Jun Shuwan said, "Look, Daddy and Brother are talking to Grandfather, and they have smiles on their faces. I guess there's nothing wrong. Grandfather and his family have come all this way, and they must be missing Mom very much."

Song Xiang probably heard Wan'er's voice, and turned his head in an instant, and saw his eldest daughter with tears streaming down her face.

In an instant, he could no longer hold it in, and his face, which showed the traces of time, was covered with tears.

Song Xirong was his first child, and he and his wife raised her personally.

When she grew up, her daughter married her ideal husband.

In fact, at the beginning, they did not want to have anything to do with the royal family. Their Song family was already wealthy and not greedy. In fact, they did not need to rely on the royal family's marriage relationship to make the family go further.

Fortunately, Jun Yu was persistent enough to let them see his sincerity.

In the past, who in the entire capital city didn’t envy him for having a good son-in-law?

My son-in-law's parents passed away due to illness one after another, and he really treated his father-in-law and mother-in-law as his own parents and was filial to them.

Due to bad luck in the past, the family experienced two setbacks.

The first time was when the emperor issued an edict to send Jun Qiulan into the palace to be a prince.

Why should you give your own child to someone else?

But that is the emperor. Although the son-in-law is also a member of the royal family, their lineage has not entered the court for a long time. Apart from the status of a royal relative, there is nothing else.

There is no room for resistance at all.

The second time was when the emperor had a biological son.

When the emperor's first child was born, they had a bad feeling.

Not to mention the emperor.

Take an ordinary family as an example. After having a biological son, how could they possibly leave the family property to the adopted son?

During those years, the higher-ups kept a close eye on them, and they didn't dare to make any unnecessary moves for fear of causing trouble for Lan'er. The only thing they could do was to send money to the palace with various excuses.

I don’t know if their self-awareness was of any use.

When the emperor finally took action against them, he spared the lives of their entire family, confiscated their property, and sent the entire family back to their ancestral home.

Yes, the emperor is a smart man. How could he not see that Jun Qiulan actually had no intention of rebelling?

However, he had to find some suitable and reasonable reason to let Jun Qiulan vacate the position of crown prince to make way for his own son.

But the price is a bit too high.

They almost lost the chance to see their daughter and son-in-law.

Fortunately.

The grandson had his own luck, which also gave them the opportunity to meet again.

As for long-distance travel, it was no longer within their consideration.

Being able to see my relatives is the most important thing.

Jun Qiulan supported his grandfather and said, "Grandpa, please walk slowly."

Song Xiang choked up.

Song Xirong was also supported by her daughter and came in, "Dad."

One word is worth a thousand words.

The meeting between father and daughter seemed like a lifetime ago.

Holding hands with tears in our eyes.

Some of the onlookers also felt tears in their eyes.

This is a border town.

Many of them were exiled.

Why? Because this place is poor, prone to war, and has few people.

Because of the relationship with the previous emperor, Dasheng did not abuse the death penalty, and mostly used exile.

These prisoners were exiled here to expand the population of people on the border.

There may be a deeper problem. If a war really breaks out, these exiled people can also go to the front line to help.

Regardless of whether they are willing or not, when it comes to a critical moment of life and death, will the people above you let you go?

Think further ahead.

Take the people who were exiled here for example. Very few of them could leave this place alive and openly.

Their separation from their families is a farewell forever.

The whole family in front of me has come all the way here.

They had just heard it, it was for their daughter's marriage.

It's really amazing.

Jun Qiulan and Jun Shuwan gave handkerchiefs to their grandfather and mother respectively.

"Grandpa, Mom, let's go home first." He said, "This is a clinic after all."

Speaking of the clinic, Song Xirong finally reacted, "Dad, who is sick? Are you feeling unwell? Or is mom sick? Where is mom? Where is mom?"

The tone was extremely urgent.

The eldest sister-in-law wiped the tears from her eyes and came over. "Don't worry, sister-in-law, mother-in-law just has a little diarrhea. The doctor just checked her out and it's not serious. She's going to use the toilet in the clinic now."

"Sister Ting." Song Xirong took her older sister's hand again, "Thank you for your hard work."

"It's okay, it's what I should do."

The second brother's wife also came over, "Aunt."

"Xuemei, you've worked hard too."

"Our family is reunited, that's all that matters, let's not talk about anything else."

Speaking of which, it’s at my two younger siblings’ homes.

Why……

It's also bitter tears.

Before the Song family encountered trouble, the two sides had frequent contacts and a close relationship.

But after the Song family got into trouble, they were afraid of being implicated and almost instantly cut off ties with them.

There is actually no way to comment on this.

They say they don't care about their daughter, but they also have a large family's wealth and lives to consider.

In that special period, it was indeed the right choice to cut off ties with them.

It just makes life hard for my two younger siblings.

At this time, Song Xirong's mother also came out.

"Oh, my old cold legs are almost numb."

The old lady was a kind and interesting person. In the words of another world, she was a social cow, or an E person.

"Mom." Song Xirong hurried over to support her.

"Hey, dear girl, I'm fine. Yesterday, when we were almost there, I saw an old farmer selling roasted sweet potatoes, so I bought some to try. But for some reason, everyone else was fine, but I was the only one with diarrhea."

"Grandma, you probably ate something that wasn't fully cooked. Sweet potatoes are edible raw and cooked, but eating them half-cooked can easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort."

"Hey, my dear grandson. I haven't seen you for more than a year. You have become more handsome. How are you now? Have you found a wife? Grandma is still young. When you have children, I can help you take care of them."

Ahhhh, is there no way to escape this problem?

Jun Qiulan's scalp was tingling.

It was Jun Yu who came out to help her son: "Mother-in-law, go home first. Lan'er didn't receive a letter from Song Ting some time ago, so she guessed that you might be on your way. She also bought a house in the city. Let's settle down first. When the time comes, we can discuss with my parents and my brothers and sisters to decide whether we want to live in the village or the city."

Song Xirong also said, "The house in the city has been repaired, and there are many good things that Lan'er brought back. Dad, Mom, and brothers and sisters, come home with us first."

The convoy is still waiting outside.

They brought their families with them, and in addition to the group of strong young men who were doing business, they also specially hired a team of escorts.

After all, there are many of them and they are planning to settle down here.

My parents were worried that the conditions here would be bad, so they brought all the pots, pans, and utensils with them, as well as a lot of specialties from Jiangnan.

Part of it is sold for money, and part of it is kept for home use.

Song Yan hadn't seen his parents for more than a year, and his eyes were a little sore.

Song Zhuo was also deeply moved when he saw his youngest son.

When they decided to send their youngest son here, they were worried about two problems.

The eldest sister and her brother-in-law have a good relationship. They only have two children, Jun Shuwan and Jun Qiulan, but Jun Qiulan was adopted by the emperor since childhood.

This time I suffered such a disaster again.

They were worried that Jun Qiulan would be unable to recover and support the family, and they were also worried that Jun Qiulan would not be close to his biological parents.

Especially for a beautiful girl like Jun Shuwan, it might not be safe in a border town.

The reason for arranging Song Yan to come here was to strengthen the relationship between cousins, and Song Yan would have a legitimate reason to take care of his elder sister and brother-in-law.

But after Song Ting returned, what he told them was completely different from what they had guessed before.

Although Song Ting's words were vague, they all understood that Jun Qiulan not only supported the family, but also had an adventure.

This way, they felt relieved.

As for what Song Ting said, Jun Qiulan said that cousins ​​cannot get married and it is a marriage between close relatives, they also said that it is not a big problem.

Originally, this matter had to be something Wan'er was willing to do.

Even though they cannot get married, they are cousins, and Jun Qiulan can support the family. Then Song Yan's task is to help out at home and help manage the business here.

After all, we are all together and everyone can take care of each other.

When Song Ting came over for the second time, the situation had changed again.

This time, Song Ting did not hesitate any longer and told the whole story of what happened here.

When they heard this, they were shocked.

We must rebel.

If they rebel, won't their family become their grandson's weak spot?

What if the emperor catches them and threatens his grandson?

At this point, regardless of whether or not I compromise, my grandson probably won’t survive.

Compromised and admitted defeat.

Could the emperor let them off the hook again? This was absolutely impossible.

A charge of rebellion had been made before, but everyone knew that this so-called rebellion was fake.

But the emperor's sentence was not light.

The whole family was exiled to a border town and could not leave this place for the rest of their lives.

Even if he was demoted from the position of crown prince and detained in the capital, it would be more humane.

How can there be so much humanity in the court?

Even if the emperor is willing to let them go, the princes' relatives will not let them go.

This was just a fake rebellion from the past.

This is going to be a rebellion. If their relatives compromise with the emperor halfway through, not only Jun Qiulan's family will die, but they will not be able to survive either.

If you don't compromise.

How will the people of the world view such a leader who is so cold-blooded towards his own relatives?

If such a person really reaches that position, there will still be many people in the world who will not accept it.

Moreover, I am afraid that the word "filial piety" will become a joke in the future.

They held a family meeting without hesitation.

If you don't want to come, then go somewhere else and live under an assumed name. After two years when the situation is better, we can discuss follow-up issues.

After all, Song Xiang is just two words, and his sons have their own families, so it is only a matter of time before the family splits up.

Besides, the reputation of Border Town was really not very good in the past.

Not to mention the poverty, they also have to endure war from time to time.

Sons also have to consider the thoughts of their future children, including their wives.

Song Xiang asked them to consider it for three days.

As a result, the boss Song Zhuo agreed without any hesitation.

The second son, Song Yue, loved his wife very much, so he only agreed after asking his wife's opinion.

To be precise, it was the second son's wife who spoke first, and the family wanted to be together.

They all thought that the news Song Ting brought back was actually very fantastic and hard to imagine, but after all, Jun Qiulan had personally promised that he would definitely give them a stable life.

Then it doesn't matter.

The family meeting was adjourned and preparations to pack began.

After they returned to their hometown, they also did some things. Since they were leaving, they naturally had to take care of the aftermath.

They also need to discuss what to do with the caravan they have formed in the future.

There are so many miscellaneous things to do, which took up a lot of time.

They moved with their family and gave a lot of good things to the officials in their hometown.

Even the recipe for making white sugar that Jun Qiulan wrote down as a precaution was given away.

no way.

Although they were deported to their hometown, their movements were not restricted, and they had been able to go out of the city for business smoothly.

However, if we don't take good care of things when moving our family to a border town, the officials might think too much.

If the officials had any ulterior motives and reported the news to their superiors, they might not be able to reach the border town safely.

After everything is arranged, I don’t ask for anything else, just that they turn a blind eye.

Just pretend you don’t know that the whole family has gone to the border town.

To be on the safe side.

In fact, their family set out in two groups. When they arrived at the next state capital, they reunited and set out together again.

This is the journey we've taken.

Not to mention the physical fatigue, the closer they got to the border town, the more uneasy they felt.

drought.

Throughout history, no matter what kind of natural disaster it is, people will die.

Drought and lack of water would be even more tragic.

But Song Ting told them again and again that there was no shortage of water in Jun Qiulan. Even if all the rivers and wells in the border town dried up, there would be no shortage of water in Jun Qiulan.

At that time, Song Xiang wanted to hit his eldest grandson with a stick.

We're already halfway there, do we really have to go back?

After all, at that time, they would be waiting to die if they went back.

It’s better for the family to stay together.

Song Yan drove the donkey cart in front and led the way, and finally arrived at the newly bought house of Jun Yu and Song Xirong.

The house is right next to the general's mansion.

Before, I also took into consideration the relationship between Wan'er and the General's Mansion, and I needed the support of the General's Mansion to conduct experiments.

It’s better to be closer.

Moreover, it is closer to the general's mansion, so safety can be guaranteed.

"Come in quickly." Jun Qiulan said, "Everything is arranged at home, except for the lack of maids. When you have time tomorrow, Ayan can go and hire some skilled maids."

"No need, no need." Song Zhuo said quickly.

They all know now that Jun Qiulan has a big secret, so it’s better not to have outsiders at home.

And they don’t do anything big now, just three meals a day.

They are a big family, can’t they solve it themselves?

If you have just been deported back to your country of origin, you may indeed feel uncomfortable.

They used to have a good relationship with their brothers and sisters-in-law.

When I first returned to my hometown, the conditions were difficult and we had a few small arguments.

The main reason is that no one has done much housework in the past, so I had to do it myself back then. Not only was I not used to it, but the important thing was that I didn’t know how to do it.

But as I slowly learned it, I got used to it and learned things that I couldn't do before.

Jun Qiulan smiled and said, "It's okay. Wan'er is also going to set up a laboratory here to specialize in medical research. I just come over occasionally."

No one is allowed to approach the laboratory.

In chemical experiments, if you are not careful, people may die.

It just so happened that Jun Qiulan could travel directly to Wan'er's yard.

Jun Yu also said: "Xirong and I also have a yard. Lan'er has a lot of things to do and doesn't come here often. I happen to have some time in the afternoon, so I should hire a few maids to cook, wash clothes, and clean. It's enough for them to do these things."

My parents-in-law and their family came from thousands of miles away to reunite with us.

They have said before that they will not let everyone live a hard life, so they will naturally do what they say.

Air conditioners, water heaters, and small appliances are all arranged.

There will be no shortage of water.

Although the border town has not completely escaped the crisis of drought, daily water use is no longer a big problem.

If it really doesn't work, then we can use the old method.

Jun Qiulan can also bring some water from another world.

It cannot afford the water needs of the entire border town, but it can certainly cover the water needs of a family.

"Mom, what is this?"

The person speaking was Song Yue’s little girl, who was only ten years old.

Just now when their family reunited, the little girl was timid.

It was only when I got home that I felt a little more relaxed.

She was young and didn't understand the right and wrong of all that. She only knew that they moved house last year and their family became very poor, and then they suddenly moved to this new place again this year.

Fortunately, she was familiar with her aunt Song Xirong and uncle Jun Yue, who often gave her small gifts in the past.

And Sister Wan'er is becoming more and more beautiful.

She didn't know how to describe it. Sister Wan'er's clothes were definitely much worse than when she was in the capital, but now Sister Wan'er, dressed in plain clothes, seemed to be glowing.

As for her cousin Jun Qiulan, she was not familiar with him.

But her parents had already told her everything in advance, and she was ten years old now, so she understood some things.

What she asked about just now was the air conditioning.

The air conditioner has a camouflaged casing.

Just press the remote control and cool breeze will blow out.

The autumn heat in the border town is still frighteningly hot, and the sun is already very strong today.

All the way home, dry it in the sun.

The sudden cool breeze made me feel relaxed all over.

Jun Shuwan was responsible for explaining, "Sister Shuyun, this is an air conditioner. It is installed in every room. It can blow cold air in the summer and hot air in the winter."

I have plenty of money now and I have a big house.

Jun Qiulan bought low-energy-consuming units. As long as the air conditioner is not turned on for twelve hours a day, it can still be powered by solar energy.

As for winter, we still need to make a kang.

With the kang, the problem of insufficient electricity storage and inability to use the air conditioner for a long time in winter is solved. The surplus electricity can also power the washing machine and refrigerator.

Rested for a while.

Song Xirong then suggested taking everyone to see their own small courtyard.

The house is not small, it is a large house with three entrances and many courtyards.

Even if their whole family lives here, it is more than enough.

"It's just not as spacious as the one in the capital." Jun Yu was quite embarrassed. "After everyone settles down and rests for a while, if you want to live in the village, we can find someone to build a house and live next door. We can take care of each other in our daily lives."

The old lady waved her hand and said, "I don't care about anything else. Today I will take this old man back to live with you in the village."

Song Xirong couldn't help but say, "Mom, you should take a few days' rest."

Others also hurried to persuade him.

There is no need to rush. Take a good rest for a while and recuperate before you think about the next thing.

Finally, the family is together again.

There is no rush here, but Jun Qiulan is anxious.

My grandfather and his family came over and ordered two tables of food from the restaurant at noon.

After dinner he had to hurry back to modern times.

I asked Yan Jing for half a day off and couldn't be late in the afternoon.

As for the important business that needs to be done, I can only trouble my father to go there.

"Go and do your own thing." Jun Yu knew that his son had important things to do, and filming was also important.

The life they have now is all earned by their son over there.

The author is almost done with his work. There are still a few minor issues to deal with, which should not delay the update.

Thank you again for your understanding, love you all.
