"My husband's family is in business. He just came back from doing business at the border a few days ago. Someone asked me to bring him some things!"
"really?"
"Really? Look if you don't believe me!"
After saying that, Si Muqiao pointed at the things that Guo Fu and Xu Wei behind him were holding that they had bought when they came here.
"Did you bring back any money? These food and daily necessities are useless, ah!"
"You don't know that Si Yang is a good kid. If it weren't for him, how could our Qingcha Lane be as peaceful as it is now?"
"What a pity! He injured his leg while suppressing bandits a while ago, and was dismissed from his post. Now he is recuperating at home. I'm afraid his leg won't work anymore."
"My poor mother at home has cried so much for him that her eyes are almost gone."
"I heard that Si Yang was from the Si family army. You don't know that this kid's style of doing things is really generous and likable."
"What a pity..."
"Hey, why am I telling you so much? His house is the one across the street. Do you see that shabby black door?"
After the woman finished speaking, she pointed to the house diagonally opposite.
"I see. Thank you, big sister!"
"Here are some snacks. You can take them back home as treats for your children." After saying that, Si Muqiao handed over a bag of snacks.
"Is this... expensive? Haha, you see I didn't help you much, how can I accept your things for nothing?"
The old lady held the basin in one hand and rubbed the other hand nervously back and forth on the coarse cloth clothes at her side.
"Not expensive. From what you said, I guess you had a good relationship with Si Yang's family in the past."
"Si Yang is injured now, so I have to trouble you neighbors to help take care of him."
"Just some snacks, nothing special to show your respect." Si Muqiao said with a smile on his face.
"Haha, sister, after hearing what you said, I believe you are good people."
"Okay, I'll take the stuff. It doesn't matter if I help or not. It's only natural for neighbors to help each other. A distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor!"
"Besides, Si Yang is our little hero in Qingcha Lane."
That lady talks a lot, but she is also very warm.
It was clearly just two steps away, but he had to put down the basin and the snacks in his hand and take them there personally.
The old lady helped knock on the door, greeted the woman who came to open the door, and introduced their identities before leaving reluctantly.
The woman who opened the door politely saw off the lady living across the street and invited Si Muqiao and others into the house. After closing the door, she asked in a low voice.
"I wonder what your real purpose is?"
"Auntie, we are looking for Si Yang. Don't worry, we are not bad people."
"You can tell Si Yang that my last name is also Si, and my name is Simu Qiao."
"The one next to him is my husband and his people, and that one is my sister Xu Xiaotang."
There was originally some suspicion and vigilance in the woman's eyes.
But when she heard the name Si Muqiao, tears instantly welled up in her eyes.
She tried to grab Si Muqiao's hand with trembling arms. Seeing this, Si Muqiao took the initiative to reach out and grab the woman's hand.
"Your name is Si Muqiao? You are the daughter of General Si? Really?"
"Really!" Si Muqiao nodded heavily.
"That's great, that's great, Miss Si, please help me persuade that kid A Yang!"
"Ever since his leg was injured and the doctor told him he would never be able to stand up again, he has been completely distracted and has lost his fighting spirit. He is depressed every day."
"In the past, when my Si Yang was at home, he would always talk about General Si and some interesting things in the army."
"He also mentioned you, saying that he and you had gone through hardships together when you were little."
"I don't ask you to convince him, but since Ayang came back, he has been thinking about his life at the border..."
"What if he really listens to your advice..."
After the woman finished speaking, she was about to kneel down in front of Si Muqiao, but was held up by Si Muqiao.
"Ma'am, you don't have to do this."
"Take us to see him first, okay?"
While speaking, Si Muqiao took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of the woman's eyes.
"Okay, okay, distinguished guests, please come this way!"
As he walked along, Si Muqiao discovered that the yard was small but very clean.
In one corner of the yard there was a fenced area where peas, pumpkins, cabbages and alfalfa were planted.
To the side, there are actually a few golden sunflowers. At this moment, the fruits are full and have already bent towards the sun.
As soon as they stepped into the house, Si Muqiao and others smelled a peculiar pus-like odor.
That was the unique smell that came from a wound that had festered, and it was very unpleasant.
The room is very small and the window is so small that it is almost negligible.
Because there were no windows and the door was covered with curtains, the room seemed particularly dark and cramped.
As soon as they walked in, they almost completely filled the room.
There was a bed in the corner of the room, and the person lying on it should be Si Yang, whom they came to look for.
As soon as Si Yang's mother Zhou led everyone into the house, she carefully and secretly looked at the faces of several people.
No!
None of the five people who followed her into the house showed any disgust or frown on their faces.
Even the youngest child looked calm at this moment.
There was also obvious worry and concern in that calmness.
This made Zhou couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief and speak out.
"Si Yang, someone is here to visit you!"
"Mom, I've already told you, I don't want to see anyone!" a dull male voice came.
"I'm Si Muqiao. I brought my husband to see you." Si Muqiao spoke directly.
"Impossible, Miss Si is in the capital, how could she be here?"
Although Si Yang said this, he immediately turned around and sat up uncontrollably.
When he met the gaze of his boss Mu Qiao, a trace of disbelief and dullness flashed across his bearded face.
"You...are you really Miss Si?"
"Really?" Si Muqiao took off the veil.
Because she was going to meet Si Yang today, she simply painted her skin and wore a veil.
There was no major change in appearance.
The difference between her appearance when she left the border at the age of thirteen and her appearance now at the age of eighteen should not be too obvious.
"Si Yang of the Si Family Army meets Miss Si!"
Si Yang struggled to get out of bed and salute, but was held down by Xu Wei, who understood what Si Muqiao said after a look.
"You are injured, so you don't need to perform formalities. Just lie down and talk."
"Miss Si, I have heard that you married into the palace and became a beauty beside His Majesty."
"I wonder if His Majesty is treating you well?"
"You don't know, General Si and the others miss you so much."
"Wait, you just said that you came here with your husband?"
"Then the husband you are talking about is not..."
When he said this, Si Yang's face suddenly changed.
After taking a quick look at the man next to Si Muqiao and not hearing any rebuttal from Si Muqiao, he immediately lowered his head in fear and was about to get off the bed and kneel down.
However, he was once again pushed back by Murong Qingli.
"I am Si Yang from the Si Family Army. I am here to meet His Majesty. Long live His Majesty!"
"What... Your Majesty? Isn't that the Emperor?"
After Zhou finished muttering, her expression was one of fear and trepidation. Her legs went weak and she immediately knelt on the ground.
"I have seen your majesty. Long live your majesty!"
Oh my goodness, is this the emperor?
A living emperor?
The living emperor actually came to their house to visit her son Si Yang?
Zhou, who was kneeling on the ground, was completely dazed.
She pinched her thigh secretly with trembling hands.
Hiss, it really hurts.
It's not a dream.
So the question is, when the emperor came to their house just now, did he take the first step with his left foot or his right foot?
She didn't see it clearly.
This makes her...how can she continue the conversation in detail when chatting with others in the future?
