Madam, She Has a Tender Heart

On a cold night with fine snow falling, Ma Shiniang fell asleep like that and never woke up.

When Su Qingyu received the news, it was already past noon, and she thought she had heard it wrong. He and Su Qingliu hurried to the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall without taking any children with them.

When she arrived, she saw that the courtyard from the gate to the courtyard was already pure white, and the whole courtyard was white, blending with the color of snow. The light breeze stirred the white cloth all over the courtyard, as if the beloved was saying a sad farewell.

Su Qingnao's feet were so weak that she could hardly stand, so she staggered to the mourning hall with support from Su Qingliu.

A black lacquered nanmu coffin has been placed in the middle of the mourning hall, and three incense sticks are burning in front of the memorial tablet. Master Ma knelt there with a solemn and sad face, immersed in throwing paper into the brazier. Everything around him seemed not to be in his eyes and mind, and he mechanically repeated the movements in his hands.

Cui Yuying cried and thanked her as a family member, and a disciple with red eyes handed a few sticks of incense to the sisters Su Qingyu.

Su Qingyu took it blankly and looked at the words "The spiritual place of my beloved wife Ma Shen Shi Liniang" on the spirit tablet, and tears rolled down her face.

Her voice, appearance, smile and words are still lingering in my ears, but my beloved has passed away far away.

Master Ma and Master Ma were not locals and had no relatives. Only some apprentices came with their families to express their condolences.

Cui Yuying is taking care of all this, and if Master Ma hadn't burned paper in the brazier, people would have thought that he was in trance, and he looked like his soul had been sucked out.

When Qingyang was out of school, Su Qingliu brought a few more children to express condolences. When the children saw that their teacher's wife, who usually loved them, was no longer there, they all burst into tears. Even the little Yaya knew that she was gone and would never come back, and she cried until she hiccupped.

Old man Xie also brought Xie Qiyou over to add incense. Su's father and others and some neighbors around the martial arts school also came.

Su Qingyu stayed in the martial arts hall, helping the disciples with some small tasks, and did not leave until sunset.

I tossed and turned at night, crying every time I thought of Master Ma. Such a gentle and kind woman did not receive the love of God, so she left Master Ma early and left alone.

Su Qingnao couldn't take care of the business in the store and went to the martial arts hall every day. It wasn't until the first seven or eight days, when Master Ma led a group of disciples to bury Master Ma in an auspicious place, that Su Qingyu stopped going to the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall.

Su Qingyao couldn't calm down for many days after that.

The days passed slowly. In February, Lu Bozu was going to Pingchuan County to take the county examination. The Wu family thought it was unlucky for Su Qingnao to stay at the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall and would not allow Su Qingnao to return to the Lu family. Su Qingnao simply lived in the shop.

It wasn't until Lu Shengcai and his wife took Lu Bozu to Pingchuan County that Su Qingyu got the news and didn't take it to heart.

At the end of February, Lu Bozu passed the county examination. Lu Shengcai happily set off a long string of firecrackers at the door of Lu's house, and went to the store with Mrs. Wu.

The joy on the faces of the couple could not be suppressed.

Wu told Su Qingyu the news with a proud look on her face, and Su Qingyu congratulated her. Lu Shengcai happily invited Su's father to have a drink with them to celebrate. Su's father joined them, congratulated Lu Shengcai, praised Lu Bozu's talents, and said that he was looking forward to changing his family.

Lu Shengcai and Wu felt extremely comfortable with the compliments from everyone, and they were already dreaming about a future life where they would be respected as an old master and an old lord.

Su Qingyu smiled and said a few words, and gave him ten taels of silver to express his support for his younger brother as an eldest brother and sister-in-law, and encourage him to continue his studies. Wu glanced at the ten taels of silver and looked down upon them.

But it wasn't too little, so I took it anyway. The couple came happily, and were coaxed by everyone to go back happily.

In a blink of an eye, Ma Shiniang arrived in Qiqi, and Su Qingyu and Su Qingliu took several children to burn paper for her at the Yangwei Martial Hall. Still the same as before, Cui Yuying said that Master Ma still locked herself in his and Master Ma's bedroom and did not want to come out to see anyone.

He didn't even care about the disciples, and only let the eldest disciple lead the younger disciples.

Yangweiwukan looked at him without any anger at all.

Before Su Qingyu left, she thought about it, walked to the door of the room, and said softly: "Master Ma, people cannot be resurrected after death, and those who are alive still have to live their lives. If Master Ma sees you like this, you should be distressed. Please take care of it." Own."

After saying that, she stood at the door and received no response. Su Qingyu sighed softly and turned to leave.

The couple who were so loving in the past are suddenly separated forever, and I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get over it.

After July 7th, Su Qingyu went to the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall. Until one day at the end of March, Cui Yuying came to the store to look for her.

Handed her two boxes.

"This box contains the thoughts that the young lady left for several children. They were all carefully selected by the young lady."

Su Qingyu looked at several things in the box, including a jade rabbit, a jade cicada and two jade toads. They were precious and inconspicuous, and could be used as hanging ornaments or held in the palm of the hand for appreciation, which showed his care for the children.

"In this box are some pieces of jewelry that the young lady used in the past. The master said that I would leave them as a thought for you sisters. If you don't dislike them, just keep them."

Seeing that the jewelry looked expensive, Su Qingyu wanted to refuse it, but after she said it, she accepted it.

"When Miss was alive, she often said that she was very happy to meet you. Although we have not known each other for a long time, she and you are very similar. She often said that you are not bothered at all by hearing her speak such older words. Although you Younger than her, but you understand her. It’s like she and you have known each other in previous lives..."

"In the past few years since the young lady came to Fengting Town with the master, no one talked to her and she never went out. When she met you, she smiled again. With you two sisters talking to her, there were several children hugging her and enjoying each other. The young lady always smiles when she sleeps. Ever since she met you, she seems to have come alive again. My husband and I both want to thank you."

"Don't say that. My wife is both my elder and my sister. I am very happy to know her. She has taught me a lot. I like to listen to her talk. Her words are full of stories and life. It has benefited me a lot..."

Su Qingnao and Cui Yuying sat across from each other. When they talked about Ma Shiniang, they both burst into tears.

After Qingyang came back in the evening, Su Qingnao asked him to call Xie Qiyou and divide the gifts given to them by Ma Shiniang.

Several children held their gifts in their hands and cried as they looked at them.

Hand in hand, they turned around and headed to the Yangwei Martial Arts Hall. But Master Ma didn't see them. Cui Yuying received them, said a few words to them, told them to study hard and listen to adults, and sent them back.

Su Qingliu only picked up two pieces of jewelry at night, and asked Su Qingyu to keep the rest. The two sisters lay on the bed, wanting to cry again.

The life was dull and depressing. Even the business in the shop was so good that Xu Shaoyan sent someone to bring her last year's goods and silver. Su Qinglao couldn't show a smile.

Because the day of delivery was approaching, everyone carefully protected her and took over all the things in the shop so that she wouldn't have to worry about it.

Su Qingyu was also taken back to Lu Zhai. The baby still has to be born in Lu's house, so what's the point of giving birth in a shop? Lu Shengcai would not let such a thing happen.

Su Qingyu obtained Aunt Zhou's consent, took her daughter Hongxiu out of the store, and asked her to take care of her at Lu's house until she was born.

The store was short of two people, so Aunt Zhou's mother-in-law introduced two nimble women in the town to come and help. They filled the gap and allowed Su Qingnao to prepare for the birth with peace of mind.

Back at Lu's house, two days had passed since the due date, and the baby still hadn't come to the ground. Su Qingyu was a little anxious.

That day, Liu Juye came to Lu Zhai to look for her and brought her bad news.
