Chapter 165: Reunion after a long separation

Jiang Youning spent her menstrual period on the road. Fortunately, although Xie Jing was a straight man, he asked everything directly, even whether she wanted to change her menstrual belt.

The tone was the same as asking her whether she wanted to go to the bathroom. It

was a bit embarrassing, but she didn't need to speak, which saved a lot of unnecessary things.

When entering Jinling City, Jiang Youning couldn't wait to lift the curtain and look out. Looking at the familiar streets and smelling the fragrance, she was so greedy.

"Finally back."

Xie Jing's dark eyes stared at Jiang Youning. This angle just happened to see her profile, with a smile in the corners of her eyes.

"What do you want to eat? I'll ask Leng Xiao to buy it for you."

Jiang Youning turned around and looked at Xie Jing, without being polite, "I want to eat green bean cakes, crispy cakes, tea cakes..."

Jiang Youning listed a long list of delicacies, all of which she wanted to eat.

After Xie Jing listened, he lifted the curtain on the other side and repeated every word of the delicacies Jiang Youning had just mentioned.

Jiang Youning was full of admiration. Xie Jing had a great memory. No wonder he was invincible.

In the carriage at the back, it was not the first time that Gu Changyu came to Jinling. He had been here for business before, but he didn't expect Susu to be here.

If he knew, he would definitely look for her.

Entering Jinling City, it immediately became different. There was a lot of noise outside and it was very lively.

He eagerly opened the curtain and looked outside, his heart full of anticipation and nervousness. He

was about to see Susu.

He still remembered how she looked when he first met her.

Jiang Qibai held a folding fan in his hand, looked at Gu Changyu, and kindly reminded him: "Uncle, do you know who Xie Jing is?"

Gu Changyu turned his head and looked at Jiang Qibai, chuckled: "Xie Jing is a cavalry general, who in the world doesn't know that?"

Jiang Qibai said again: "Then do you know that Xie Jing is Xie Susu's son?"

Gu Changyu was stunned when he heard this. He had not asked his son's name in the few days he had known him. His attention was on Susu, and he was always thinking about Susu, so he ignored his son's name.

His son didn't tell him, so he forgot about it.

"You said my son is Xie Jing?"

Jiang Qibai nodded with a smile.

When Gu Changyu first met his son, he felt that he was steady and strong, and indeed did not look like a businessman. He just didn't expect that he was a military general, and a famous cavalry general.

"Susu taught well, so she could raise such an outstanding son."

Jiang Qibai thought that Gu Changyu would praise Xie Jing in the first sentence, but he didn't expect that he was praising Xie Susu.

But it is true that Xie Jing is so outstanding that he can't do without the teachings of the old lady.

The carriage drove for a long time and stopped at the gate of the general's mansion.

Seeing that the carriage had stopped, Jiang Youning stood up first, but was stopped by Xie Jing, "I'll go down first."

Jiang Youning was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

Xie Jing got off the carriage first, and then stood beside it waiting.

Jiang Youning stood up and walked out after seeing Xie Jing get off the carriage. Xie Jing stood tall beside the carriage, and when he saw her come out, he reached out his hand.

Thinking back to the many times she and Xie Jing had taken a carriage, it was always Xie Jing who helped her get on the carriage, and then helped her get off.

This time she got there first, and then she noticed that it was always Xie Jing who got off the carriage first.

The carriage would be equipped with a stool, and it was very convenient to get on and off by stepping on the stool. ….Xie

Jing probably treated her like a child.

She put her hand on Xie Jing's big hand, and slowly got off the carriage while holding up the hem of her skirt with one hand.

As soon as she got off, she saw her uncle and her eldest brother getting off another carriage.

Gu Changyu looked up at the general's mansion in front of him. The vermilion door was open, and two guards in armor stood at the door, showing the majesty of "no one is allowed to enter".

No wonder Jiang Youning said that Susu is living a good life now. His son is a general, so he is naturally well-off in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.

How much hardship did he suffer in the past, and how many people know?

Jiang Youning was led by Xie Jing

, and looked at Gu Changyu sideways, "Uncle, go in."

Gu Changyu lowered his eyes to look at Jiang Youning, and then glanced at Xie Jing. Xie Jing had a blank expression on his face and was always indifferent to him.

Xie Jing said, "Go in."

He led Jiang Youning in first.

Gu Changyu retracted his gaze and followed closely.

Xue Yi smiled and looked at Jiang Qibai, and saw a faint smile on his lips, "Mr. Lu seems to be in a good mood."

Jiang Qibai smiled when he heard it, "Indeed, he is not bad."

Xue Yi said, "How about drinking together in the evening?"

Jiang Qibai was free and agreed readily, "Okay."

Gu Changyu followed Xie Jing into the front hall of the general's mansion. He was somewhat impatient to see Su Su. Looking at his son walking in front of him, he opened his mouth and shouted, "Jing'er, where is your mother?"

Xie Jing was stunned when he heard the name Jing'er. He was so young that only his mother called him that. Now Gu Changyu called him that, of course he was not used to it. He turned

back to look at Gu Changyu, "You go to the flower hall and wait, I'll go call my mother over."

Gu Changyu said three "OK", "OK, OK, OK, I'll wait in the flower hall." Xie Jing glanced at Gu Changyu, and then walked towards Jingyouyuan. Jiang Youning looked at Gu Changyu, "Uncle, I'll take you to the flower hall." Gu Changyu said, "OK." Jiang Youning was about to take Gu Changyu to the flower hall, but Xie Jing turned back and said, "Wait a minute." Gu Changyu paused and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?" Xie Jing said, "You come with me." Gu Changyu paused and nodded, "OK." Xie Jing took Gu Changyu and walked around for a while before arriving at Jingyouyuan. Jingyouyuan is a relatively quiet courtyard. There is a row of bamboo forest at the entrance, which is very elegant.

Xie Jing suddenly stopped, turned around and said to Gu Changyu, "You wait here first, I want to go in and talk to mom."

Gu Changyu nodded in agreement, "You're right, we haven't seen each other for so many years, I'm afraid we'll be scared if we meet suddenly, it's better for you to say it first."

Xie Jing retracted his gaze and walked in.

Jiang Youning secretly glanced at Gu Changyu and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, are you nervous?"

Gu Changyu chuckled, "You saw it."

Jiang Youning smiled and said, "You and mom haven't seen each other for so many years, you must be a little nervous, I think mom must be nervous too." Gu Changyu

was nervous because he was afraid that Susu didn't want to see him.

Inside the house

When Xie Jing walked into the house, he saw the old lady sitting on the couch reading a book, while Rong's mother was fanning her with a round fan.

"Mother."

The old lady raised her head upon hearing the voice, and was surprised to see her son who suddenly returned, "Jing'er, you're back."...

Xie Jing said, "I rushed back as soon as I finished my business this time."

The old lady asked, "Did everything go well?"

Xie Jing replied, "Very smoothly, but..."

The old lady's smile froze, "Is there something wrong?"

Xie Jing looked at his mother's worried face, he pursed his lips and said, "My son did something without discussing it with me."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this, and then smiled and said, "I thought it was nothing, that's it? You are an adult, you don't need to discuss anything with me, I know you know your limits."

In fact, the old lady wanted to say, when did you discuss your engagement and marriage with her?

The son came to her in the middle of the night and told her that he was going to get engaged the next day .

She thought it was strange, what kind of girl could make her son change his personality overnight?

Not long after, the son came to her early in the morning and told her that he was going to get married. Since he

was already engaged, it was natural for

him to get married. She was the only one who saw her daughter-in-law on the wedding day, right?

Xie Jing knelt on the ground with a thump.

The old lady was scared.

"Jing'er, what are you doing

?"

Xie Jing said, "Mom, I'm going to Yangzhou this time to find my father."

The old lady was stunned for a long time after hearing this. For so many years, she had never mentioned his father to her son.

When the son was a child, he saw others had fathers and asked her, but she was vague.

When the son grew up a little and became sensible, she stopped asking.

Some people couldn't understand why the son suddenly wanted to find his father.

"Why do you suddenly want to find him?"

Xie Jing pursed his lips. His original intention was to find his father so that he could take care of his mother after his untimely death.

When he found him, his original intention changed.

"I want to know who the person who let my mother down is."

The old lady was speechless for a while after hearing this.

"It's been more than 20 years. You've been through everything. Why do you still care about those things? Where can you find him in such a vast sea of ​​people?"

Xie Jing raised his head and looked at the old lady, "Mom, I found him."

The old lady didn't react for a while, "What did you say?"

Xie Jing repeated again, "Mom, I found him, he is in the yard."

The old lady was so surprised that she didn't react for a long time. After so many years, she never thought that she would meet him again.

And at this moment, that person is in the yard. She can see him as long as she goes out.

What will happen if she sees him?

After a while, she finally found her voice, "What is he doing here?"

Xie Jing looked at his mother's expression, which was expected.

He also thought that his mother might be angry, but his mother had been through so much, and she would not be confused by this matter.

"He said he wanted to see you and had something to say to you."

The old lady clenched the book in her hand after hearing this, "So many years have passed, what is there to say? If it's a debt, there's no need to say it."

Xie Jing asked: "Don't you want to know why he didn't come to propose marriage back then?"

Xie Jing looked indifferent, but he would actually say a few words for Gu Changyu, and wanted to let the old lady know the truth of that year.

The old lady looked at her son in surprise, "How did Jing'er know about the marriage proposal?"

Xie Jing replied, "He said it."

The old lady suddenly realized that no one except him told her son about this, and she had never mentioned the past to him. ….She

squeezed the book in her hand again and again, as if she was a little nervous, and as if she was hesitating whether to see him or not.

When the beauty mentioned it, she thought she had forgotten it a long time ago, and she was no longer entangled with him in the past. Was what she said to him sincere, or was it just sweet talk afterwards?

If he hadn't been drugged, that wouldn't have happened to them.

The old lady looks like a weak woman, but in fact, she has always been a person with her own ideas.

Otherwise, she would have been smeared and drowned long ago if she was unmarried with her son.

Isn't it just a meeting?

She hasn't done anything to let others down. Is there something wrong that she doesn't dare to see?

"Jing'er, you get up first."

"Yes, mother." Xie Jing stood up and waited on the side.

The old lady put the book in her hand on the low table, stood up, and seemed very calm, "I'll go see him."

The old lady took a deep breath and walked out.

Gu Changyu looked around, but didn't see anyone coming out, and was a little anxious, "Doesn't she want to see me?"

Jiang Youning comforted, "Uncle, don't be discouraged, mother also needs a process of digestion, maybe she will come out after she calms down."

Gu Changyu thought about it and it was true. It was too sudden. She probably got scared.

"I can wait. If she doesn't see me today, then wait until tomorrow. Anyway, I want to see her, and I will wait until she wants to see me."

Jiang Youning felt that Xie Jing was still a bit like an uncle, for example, this temper.

Seeing Xie Jing coming out of the house, she reminded him, "Uncle, the general is coming out."

Gu Changyu looked up at the door and saw Xie Jing coming out, followed by a woman.

The woman was wearing a light

green dress, like bamboo leaves under the sun, elegant and warm.

Her once waist-length hair was tied up high, and the white jade hairpin in her temples was as dignified and elegant as she was.

Even after so many years, he still recognized her at first glance, she was Su Su.

Gu Changyu excitedly took a few steps forward, but restrained himself and stopped, opening his mouth, "Su Su."

The old lady saw the man standing in the middle of the courtyard and recognized him as the boy that night.

He was dressed in gorgeous clothes, and it was obvious that he was from a wealthy family, just like when they first met.

But at that time, he still looked like a boy.

Now he has the experience of a mature man.

Although she appears calm, she is actually confused in her heart.

Jiang Youning looked at the two elders standing still, probably because of the presence of the younger generation. She looked at Xie Jing and saw him standing straight. She walked over and took his hand and whispered, "General, let's go out first."

Xie Jing nodded and walked out of the yard with her.

After coming out, Jiang Youning looked back and said, "Whether the uncle can be converted to a regular employee depends on this visit."

Xie Jing also looked back.

Jiang Youning retracted her gaze, "General, do you think mother will accept uncle?"

Xie Jing said, "I don't know."

Jiang Youning sighed, "It's not easy for mother, and uncle is loyal."

Xie Jing said seriously, "I'm loyal too."

Hearing this, Jiang Youning raised her head and looked at Xie Jing, and saw that his handsome face was tense, and he couldn't be more serious.

He couldn't help laughing for a moment, "I didn't say you are not loyal."

Xie Jing still said seriously: "You will know only after I tell you."

Jiang Youning stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek, "How is it?"

Xie Jing's eyes paused, "Very good."

Jiang Youning took his arm, "We will ask Chuntao to make more delicious food, and we will have a reunion dinner together."

Xie Jing felt that it was time to prepare dinner and have a reunion dinner.

After a long silence, the old lady asked, "What are you doing here?"

Gu Changyu took a few steps forward and stopped in front of Xie Susu, excited and a little at a loss, "Susu, I have been looking for you for more than 20 years, and today I finally see you."

The old lady was stunned when she heard it, and looked up at Gu Changyu in disbelief, "Are you looking for me?"

Gu Changyu explained excitedly, "I left suddenly that day because your maid came in. I wanted to propose marriage after I returned, but my father suddenly became seriously ill, so I had to go back to Luoyang first. When I came back to find you after I dealt with the matter, I found that you were missing."

"I searched the entire Yangzhou and couldn't find you.".
