Tang riddles

The sound of weeping slowly faded away in the room, and the woman in the wheelchair bent her waist with difficulty, trying to touch the top of the child's hair in front of her:

"Good boy, raise your head, raise your head... let mother take a good look at you." She said in repeated voices.

Shen Sui raised his face, it was already stained with tears, his mother's slightly rough palm held her cheek, and wiped away her tears with the pulp of her thumb, tender and full of love.Her eyes moistened with tears stared carefully at Shen Sui's face, then suddenly smiled after a while, and said softly:

"My little Chishi has grown up, and my mother doesn't know her anymore."

Hearing her words, Shen Sui couldn't help sobbing again, wanted to speak, but couldn't speak for a while, so he could only throw himself into her arms, venting all his grievances and pain at this moment.

Mother, the baby is no longer the face of the past, you... your daughter, the current appearance is not given by you, can you still recognize the baby?

"My son will always be my son. Even if you turn into ashes, mother will recognize you." Qin Lian seemed to have read her heart, hugged her, stroked her back, and said softly.

"Mother..." Shen Sui seemed to have lost all language ability, and went back 30 years, returning to his baby days, becoming a child who could only call mother.She called out tirelessly, as if she wanted to make up for the lost 30 years.

The mother and daughter embraced each other and wept, and everyone behind them also sobbed.Huang'er woke up in a daze, and found herself in an unfamiliar environment, and the adults around her were crying, she looked very puzzled.After a while, probably infected by emotions, the little guy curled his mouth and cried out, calling for his mother.

The crowd was brought back to their senses by the little guy's cries, Zhang Ruohan wiped away tears in a hurry, took Huang'er who was struggling in the embrace of her mother into her arms, stroked her back and coaxed:

"Don't cry, don't cry, mother is here."

"Chishi...that's, but your child?" Qin Lian looked at Zhang Ruohan and Huang'er in his arms not far away, and asked hastily.

Shen Sui sniffed, wiped away tears indiscriminately, and called out:

"Lotus maid."

Zhang Ruohan immediately understood, went forward with the child in her arms, and then knelt down beside Shen Sui.

"Mother, this is the child's wife Zhang Ruohan, Mr. Zishou's youngest daughter, Xingsan. This is our child, named Shan'an, baby name Huang'er, which means the son of Luanhuang."

"Ruohan has met everyone (Tang women call her mother-in-law everyone)." Zhang Ruohan kowtowed, then pulled Huang'er, and said: "Huang'er, this is your grandmother, call grandma."

Huang'er sniffed, slightly aggrieved but obediently called: "Grandma." While talking, the little guy looked up curiously at the elderly woman sitting in the wheelchair in front of him, his black eyes staring at her. She was round, and her pupils shone with a layer of strange tears under the lamplight.

"Okay, okay, Ruohan is good, Huang'er is good, they are all good children." Qin Lian was very happy, pressing one hand on the top of Zhang Ruohan's hair, and stroking Huang'er's side cheek with the other.Huang'er seemed to feel that this hand was very close, and couldn't help laughing through tears, and stretched out her small hand to grab Qin Lian's sleeve.

"Grandma...how about hugging you?" Qin Lian really liked this child more and more. When the child grabbed her sleeve, she seemed to see the childhood Shen Sui in the child.For a moment, he choked up again, and burst into tears.

"Yeah." The little guy nodded, took the initiative to hug Qin Lian, and said in a childish voice, before weeping: "Grandma doesn't cry."

With tears in her eyes, Qin Lian hugged the child, stretched out her arms, and pulled Shen Sui and Zhang Ruohan into her arms.She had been looking forward to this moment for 30 years, and finally, at last, at last, she answered that line of poem: When the wind and rain are exhausted, she can keep the clouds open to see the moonlight.It's really a long-cherished wish, and the heavens will live up to it.

Emotions that have been suppressed for decades, once they explode, it is difficult to calm down for a while.Fortunately, there were a lot of people in the house, and Ying Niang and Qian He took turns to greet Qin Lian and gave everyone time to breathe and adjust.And when Qin Lian saw Shen Jin, Shen Jin's state was obviously different from everyone else.She was saddened by what happened to Qin Lian, and of course she was deeply moved by the reunion of her sister and her after 30 years.But she is Princess Taiping's daughter after all. In front of Qin Lian, she seemed at a loss, and she was burdened with an indelible sense of guilt deep in her heart.

She kowtowed to Qin Liansan, and fell on the ground for the last time, her neck seemed to be under a heavy weight, and it was difficult to raise her head.Everyone felt very uncomfortable seeing her like this.There is nothing wrong with Shen Jin, but her existence has always explained some unspeakable problems.This child's heart is so soft, it is too cruel for her.

Unexpectedly, Qin Lian stroked the top of her hair like he was stroking Shen Sui, and said gently as always:

"Qin Nu, good boy, would you like to recognize me as your mother?"

There was silence in the room for a while, and Shen Jin didn't answer a word for a long time, but at the end he let out a mournful cry.

"If you don't want to, I won't force you..." Seeing her reaction so violently, Qin Lian hurriedly answered, but was immediately interrupted by Shen Jin's call.

"Mother! Qin Nu...Although Qin Nu is not your own, Qin Nu will definitely treat you like your own mother." Shen Jin said out of breath.

"It's okay, it's okay..." Qin Lian comforted her repeatedly, her voice like a spring breeze blowing willows, "Your father loves you, and your mother loves you too, there is nothing wrong with anyone, and you should not blame yourself. Don't be fooled, we It's all family."

Shen Jin sobbed and nodded, Shen Sui couldn't help but hook her neck, put her in his arms, and cursed:

"What a fool, and said that I don't care, and now I'm crying like a ghost."

"Nonsense! I didn't cry, I just... got sand in my eyes." Shen Jin stubbornly said, pushing Shen Sui's arm.

Everyone laughed through their tears, Shen Suile said: "Yes, you didn't cry, we didn't cry, we all got sand in our eyes."

A group of people with sand in their eyes ended their tearful reunion and finally returned to calm.Shen Sui was not in a hurry to ask other questions, but first asked Qin Lian and Xiao Yuan about their physical conditions.Qin Lian's body is not bad. Since taking Yin Yu's Luanhuang marrow blood, his blood has become more and more abundant, and his photophobia has improved a lot. He can occasionally sit on the window sill and bask in the sun without dizziness and nausea. feel.In the first period of time after taking the blood of Luanhuang, she felt that her hands and feet were full of strength, and she could even stand up and walk for a long time without stopping. The state of being able to rely on a wheelchair or otherwise immobile.After three years of intensive care, now she can stand up and walk around for a while occasionally, and she still needs to wear a waist support and someone to support her. Most of the time, she still has to sit in a wheelchair.Fortunately, she has a good appetite and sleeps well. Apart from weakness in her waist and weak sensation in her legs, she seldom catches the wind and cold, so Shen Sui felt relieved.

Xiao Yuan's situation is not as bad as everyone imagined.She had her tongue cut out and was indeed unable to speak anymore.But she is not a stupid person, it's just that she closes herself a lot of times, doesn't like to communicate with outsiders, and is not good at dealing with relationships with others.Once there is a conflict with someone or poor communication, she will be nervous and uncontrollable. In other words, it is probably because of her early experience that she has some heart problems.But when she was by Qin Lian's side, she was quite quiet, her hands and feet were diligent and capable, because her left arm was broken once, and it was not repaired well, it would hurt when it was windy or rainy, and it was common for her to break things occasionally.

"Mother, back then the child had found the nine-storey pavilion, why did you run away and swallowed the blood of your father? Is that why you don't want to see the child?" When mentioning this matter, Shen Sui was obviously very wronged, and said There is also resentment.

Qin Lian took her hand and replied: "At the beginning, I really didn't want you to see me. It wasn't that I didn't want to see you. Son, mother has been looking forward to it for so many years. The only one who supported me was you. But at that time, I couldn't let you see me. You saw me. One is that mother is afraid that you will not be able to bear seeing mother. Second, mother wants to go back to Chang'an to find someone to meet and talk to. If I recognize you at that time, mother may no longer be able to hide it. You went to see that person."

Shen Sui looked at Qin Lian, and asked with trembling lips for a long while:

"Is it grandpa?"

"It's him." Qin Lian nodded.

"He imprisoned you? Is he the Pope?"

"Mother doesn't know, so Mother wants to ask him. But I haven't been able to see him. I haven't found a chance to meet him since I came to Chang'an. Besides, I already knew that Mr. Mo is actually yours. If I go to him, You will definitely know, I never went."

Shen Sui understood that the reason why mother was unwilling to meet her at that time was because she knew that as long as she met her, Shen Sui would definitely ask her about the identity of the Great Pope.Although Qin Lian didn't know the identity of the Great Pope very well, she extremely suspected that it was her biological father, Qin Zhen.She didn't want to deceive or conceal Shen Sui, before she was sure, she would rather not meet with Shen Sui, so as to avoid talking about it.If it was true as she guessed, she hoped that as a mother, she could bear the trauma caused by all this for her daughter, and end it all for her daughter.She no longer wants her daughter to be hurt because of the grievances of the previous generation.

"But...but mother, why are you willing to meet me again now?" Shen Sui was puzzled.

"Because someone is killing people in Chang'an City, maybe it's because of what happened to me back then. This is something I don't want to see. It has been three years since we left the Western Regions. When things have come to this point, my mother has to think twice and keep it secret. It’s meaningless to look at you. You and I never see each other. This is a kind of torture for you and me. Not long after my mother found Mr. Mo, he confessed everything to me and persuaded me to recognize you But at that time, I was really worried about how you would react if your grandfather was the mastermind behind everything, and whether it would be unbearable. So I kept procrastinating, not daring to meet you, Huang Er was young at that time , considering that you and Ruohan are going to raise a child, I don't want to cause you any trouble.

However, the situation in Chang'an has become more and more unstable recently, and your situation is not very safe. Mr. Mo once again advised me to meet you as soon as possible, so don't delay any longer.Of course, Mother still hopes to bear everything for you, but Mr. Mo is right. You have grown up and are no longer a child. No matter what the truth is, you will know it sooner or later. No matter how much Mother hides it from you, it is meaningless.It's time to end this.It's all because of me, and it's up to me to end it all.So you came to see me, and I didn't refuse. "

"Mother, why are you so stupid..." Shen Sui felt pain in his heart, "It doesn't matter...whether grandpa is black or white, no matter what he has done, it's not just your business, it's also my business, yes Our family affairs. Now, Hai'er is the head of the family. It has been 20 years since Hai'er pursued the truth of that year. No matter what happens in this life, he must find out what happened back then. This is Hai'er's long-cherished wish. Mother...Look at me , I have grown up so much, my child can already protect you from the wind and rain. You will leave the rest to me, okay?"

At this moment, Qin Lian felt relieved and blamed himself, joyful and sad, relieved and worried, all kinds of feelings were in his heart, he could only touch his daughter's cheek, nod his head, laugh and weep.

"If, if it's really grandpa..." Shen Sui's words were already incoherent, she was silent for a while, took a deep breath, looked at Qin Lian and asked:

"How to deal with it, my child is hesitating, I hope you can give me some advice."

"Just talk to him. After the talk, he will give you the answer. No matter what you choose, mother will support you." Qin Lian thought for a long time before finally answering.
