No. 1 Girl in the Imperial City

Chapter 440 Leaving Beijing, old things

On the day Luo Jinyan and Su Rui left Beijing, members of Luo and Su's family sent them out of the city together.

Naturally, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan were not absent, and followed everyone out of the city to see them off.

Luo Jun shook Su Rui's hand and was reluctant to let go. Usually, he didn't feel that there were so many things to say, but when it was time to say goodbye, he realized that he couldn't finish what he wanted to say.

Huaizhou is a long way away, Luo Jinyan and Su Rui didn't bring much luggage, but some everyday things, and everything else will be repurchased in Huaizhou.

There were quite a few people who followed, besides Luo Jinyan's confidantes and personal guards, and Su Rui's dowry maids and servants brought from her natal family.When I arrived in Huaizhou, I didn't know what the situation was, so it was more reassuring to have a personal waiter who knew the basics.

"Sister-in-law, you and elder brother have to take care of yourself in the future. Remember to write to us if you have anything to do, and tell us if you have any difficulties." Luo Jun shook Su Rui's hand and looked at Mrs. Su who was talking to Mrs. Su not far away. Luo Jinyan, who was talking to Fu Xieyan and others, urged.

Su Rui chuckled and said, "Don't worry, you have to be careful in Shangyong, the Su family and Axuan will be taken care of by Lord Lao and Yao Yao."

Luo Junyao nodded again and again: "Don't worry, Ah Xuan will never be wronged in the Prince Regent's Mansion. By the way, Minmin and the others can't come today. These are the gifts they entrusted me to bring to you. I wish you a smooth journey." Luo Junyao accepted Guo Lanzhen handed the bundle to Su Rui.

Su Rui accepted it with a smile, and said with a smile, "Thank them for me."

Luo Junyao responded, and said again: "You bid farewell to Madam Su and the others, I won't bother you." Although he didn't want to part with Su Rui, Luo Junyao also knew that the Su family couldn't part with their daughters and sisters even more. Walk in the direction of Yan.

Xie Yan and Su Taifu Luo Yun stood together and talked to Luo Jinyan, but Luo Jinxing could only stand and look at his elder brother, unable to speak.

Luo Jinyan respectfully listened to Master Su's instructions and teachings, while Xie Yan and Luo Yun stood aside and did not interrupt.Master Su really knows more about the rules and principles of officialdom than the two of them.

It's a pity that Luo Jinyan and Su Rui will leave Beijing just after they got married, otherwise Mrs. Su must not hesitate to teach this grandson-in-law well.

Seeing that it was getting late, Mrs. Su could only stop, sighed and said: "Forget it, it's getting late, you should go too. The customs of Huaizhou are very different from Shangyong, and the personnel affairs are complicated. I sincerely say that you must remember What the old man said earlier."

Luo Jinyan cupped his hands respectfully and said: "Remember your grandfather's teachings, I don't know when we will see you again, please take care of your grandfather and father."

As a general, Luo Yun didn't have so much sentimentality, but this was the first time his son was going to be so far away from him for a long time and still be in charge of the party, so he felt a little sad for a while.After holding back for a while, he just said, "When you arrive in Huaizhou, be careful and pay attention to safety."

Luo Jinyan solemnly agreed, and Xie Yan was even more succinct and to the point, "Nanjiang has something to say."

Luo Jinyan nodded and did not speak, but slightly cupped his hands in a gesture.

"Brother, take care all the way." Luo Junyao and Luo Jinxing were not far behind.

Luo Jinyan smiled, told his younger brother a few words, raised his hand and rubbed his younger sister's head and said softly, "You should also be well in Shangyong, don't mess around and cause trouble for father and prince."

Compared to General Luo who always thought his daughter was a good boy, Luo Jinyan obviously knew how much his little sister could make trouble.

Luo Junyao stuck out his tongue at him, and said: "I'm fine, elder brother should think about you and sister-in-law more. I wish you and sister-in-law a happy marriage for a hundred years and have a precious son soon."

"..." Mr. Luo, who still treats his sweetheart with courtesy.

No matter how much you are reluctant to leave, you can't stop it when you leave.

After Luo Jinyan and Su Rui bid farewell to everyone, they helped Su Rui get into the carriage, and then they got on the horse and waved their hands to see them off, "Everyone, please stay and leave."

The not-so-long team slowly moved towards the front of the official road. Luo Jinyan rode his horse and followed beside the carriage, watching the back of them leaving, Mrs. Su finally couldn't help crying.

The Su family and several female family members of the Su family quickly supported her and comforted her softly. Although Mrs. Su barely stopped crying, how could the worry and reluctance in her heart be dispelled by a few words?

How could she not worry about the daughter she had brought up since she was young, and she was about to leave home thousands of miles to go to the poor mountains and rivers of Huaizhou at a young age?

In the carriage, Su Rui who quietly raised the curtains to look out also couldn't help but burst into tears.

Seeing her mother crying into her aunt's arms, Su Rui felt even more guilty for her self-willedness and cruelty.

If she hadn't acted selfishly, how could mother be so sad?
This kind of sadness will not last for a while, Su Rui knows in her heart that as long as she is outside for a day, her mother will always worry about her.

"Miss, don't be sad." The girl sitting next to Su Rui whispered: "In the future, the uncle will always return to Beijing to report on his work, and the lady can also come back with me to visit the old lady and the old lady."

Su Rui looked at the people who were getting farther and farther away from them, and slowly lowered the curtain, looked sideways at the girl sitting beside her and said, "It's hard for you to follow me all the way to Huaizhou."

The girl smiled brightly, "Miss, what are you talking about? Wherever you go, miss, the servants will naturally go there too. Miss will be the wife of the governor in the future, and the servants can also be in the glory of the lady, majestic and prestige."

Su Rui smiled, knowing in her heart that this girl wanted to make her happy.

No matter how beautiful the governor's wife is, how can a place like Huaizhou be as prosperous as Shangyong?As early as a few years ago, when she secretly left the capital, she knew that the outside world was different from Shang Yong.

"A Rui?" Outside the carriage, Luo Jinyan asked softly, "Is it okay?"

Su Rui raised the curtains of the car and smiled, "I'm fine, don't worry."

Luo Jinyan glanced at her reddish eyes, and said softly: "If A Rui misses home in the future, we will come back and have a look. If you miss your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can also write to them along the way and tell them about the scenery along the way. Reassure them too."

Su Rui nodded and said, "Okay, I'll write to my family when I go back to the inn."

It wasn't until the leaving team completely disappeared at the end of the official road that the messengers turned back to the city.

Mrs. Su cried a lot and was very sad. Luo Mingxiang was pregnant again, so the female relatives took the carriage back to the city first.

Luo Jinxing and Luo Yun didn't go back to the city and went directly to the camp of the Dingguo Army outside the city. Xie Yan accompanied Taifu Su into a carriage, but Luo Junyao didn't want to take a carriage and just rode his horse and followed outside.

It is now approaching the end of March, which is late spring.

Both sides of the official road are already lush and full of vitality. Luo Jun is wearing a silver-red spring shirt, riding a horse and galloping back and forth along the official road.

Taifu Su looked at the figure on the horse, and couldn't help but sighed with a smile: "If I knew that A Rui had today, I should have sent her to the Martial Arts Academy to study hard, so that her parents and I can rest assured."

Xie Yan's eyes also fell on the man on the horseback, and his eyes softened a lot unconsciously, "Don't worry, Tai Tuo, he will take good care of Mrs. Luo Shao."

Taifu Su didn't know what Xie Yan was struggling with. Seeing him laughing, his expression became much more relaxed, and he said a little teasingly: "I never thought that I would have such a fate with the prince."

Taifu Su used to be Xie Yan's teacher, but Xie Yan married Luo Yun's daughter, and Luo Yun's son married his granddaughter.So much so that now Xie Yan has to call his granddaughter sister-in-law, so Taifu Su's seniority has also risen a generation out of thin air.

Xie Yan looked at Master Su helplessly, shook his head and remained silent.

Grand Tutor Su didn't bother with this question, and quickly said seriously: "What is the matter between the prince and Liao Wei recently?"

Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did Tai Tuo say that?"

Su Taifu narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "These days Liao Wei came to the door twice, talking about the prince inside and out. I thought he was aspiring to be the prime minister and wanted to ask for my support. Then I turned around and thought again. I don't think it's right, Liao Weina seems to want to inquire about some news."

Xie Yan lowered his eyebrows and smiled, "Liao Wei has nothing wrong with him, he just thinks too much."

Taifu Su looked at Xie Yan and said nothing, Liao Wei had spent most of his life in court, so he couldn't be so impatient.It must be that His Royal Highness the Regent made some hints, making Liao Wei mistakenly think that Xie Yan wanted to do something to him.

It may not be that Liao Wei really wanted to find out some news from the old man who had retired from office. He probably really didn't know Xie Yan's intentions, so he wanted to use him to test whether Xie Yan would have the next move.

Xie Yan avoided this question, and asked instead: "What does the Grand Tutor think of Cao Mian?"

"Cao Mian?" Grand Tutor Su was startled, then frowned after a while and asked, "But what happened in Qingzhou?"

Xie Yan didn't hide anything, and told Grand Tutor Su about the Yunhai Academy in Qingzhou.

Su Taifu didn't look at him for a long time, the carriage was quiet for a quarter of an hour, almost making people think he was asleep, only then did Su Taifu slowly say: "Cao Mian...can become a god or a devil , but in a single thought."

Xie Yan was startled, frowned and said, "Not long ago, I heard similar comments from others."

Taifu Su was a little surprised, but seemed to be expected, sighed: "Among the people who followed Gaozu to conquer the world, Cao Mian was the youngest one. Now Gaozu has passed away, and we old men have passed away too. He is old, but he is considered to be in his prime. People who were willing to follow Gaozu back then, whether it was to make money in order to survive or to help the world, it was always for something. But we have never done it Understand what he is for, he does not seek fame or profit, does not love power, does not love money, is not lustful, is not addicted to alcohol and is not delicious. Others say that Shanghou is a saint, that is to say Shanghou's achievements to Qinan. But if you talk about Character cultivation, he is a well-deserved saint."

Xie Yan frowned and said, "This king is not at the right time. It seems that Cao Mian has been an official in other places since he can remember?"

Taifu Su nodded and said: "That's right, Cao Mian is only 58 this year. When the country was established, he was a few years younger than the prince now. It can be said that he has a bright future. At that time, everyone in the civil service was looking forward to staying in the In Shangyong, he was the only one who rejected Gao Zu's title due to his shallow age and young age, and asked to be released as an official. Wen Dinghou's title was later insisted on by Gao Zu. His wife...was not of high background, so he was at that time With his age, appearance and achievements, even if he wants to marry a princess or princess, it is no problem at all."

Xie Yan thoughtfully said: "From this point of view, at least in terms of character, this person is indeed impeccable. If so, why..."

Su Taifu said: "My lord wants to ask, why is there such an extreme evaluation?"

Xie Yan nodded, and Su Taifu said: "Probably because he is so perfect that... people even feel that he lacks a bit of humanity. Back then... the news about the Yao family was either outraged or outraged when the news first came out. Regret and pity, even if it is gloating, is a feeling after all. Does the prince know what Cao Mian said at that time?"

Xie Yan said: "Teacher please advise."

Mr. Su's eyes looked into the distance through the car window, as if he had seen the distant past through the years.

"At that time... when the news came, it happened that Cao Mian and I were discussing how to raise relief food and grass for Qinan. We didn't know that this matter was related to the matter of Shanghou and Qinan. We thought we were refugees and What the enemies of the Yao family did, Cheng Guogong yelled at that time, saying that he would lead troops to suppress those lunatics. I have met the head of the Yao family for a few times, and I was also sad, and I was speechless for a long time. Cao Mian was indifferent Just saying a word...it might be a solution."

"Isn't it a solution?" Xie Yan frowned and said slowly.

There was a complex look on Taifu Su's old face, and he said: "Duke Cheng and I didn't pay attention to his words at the time, he just said that he thought of a problem that had troubled him for a long time, and asked us what's wrong? We only thought he was thinking about something and didn't hear the guard's report, but the look on his face at that time made me feel unstoppable, but I didn't have time to think about it. Until later, I vaguely heard something about The rumors about the Yao family and the Marquis of Shang, whenever I think of his words and expressions at that time, I always feel creepy. At that time, he was only in his 20s. Later, he left Shangyong and was released as an official. I have never seen him in these years I often feel that I was thinking too much at the time, so that I inadvertently revealed it in my words and deeds, which made him gradually alienate me. The prince asked suddenly today, and I just That's all I can say."

Xie Yan remained silent. If Grand Tutor Su felt this way alone, maybe he was thinking too much, but you can't think too much about one or two, right?

Grand Tutor Su looked at Xie Yan and said, "My lord needs to be cautious about this matter. Although Cao Mian has been away from Shangyong for many years, he was a hero who followed Gaozu to conquer the world. He has made many friends in the court. Although the old man had some grudges in his heart back then, he did not dare Saying that my opinion of this person is really accurate, maybe there is something hidden in it. Take a step back and say, no matter what he thinks in his heart or his nature, as long as he has not seriously done anything harmful to nature, then no one can criticize him. "

"Those incidents a few years ago have already caused uneasiness in the government and the public. If this matter becomes serious and ends up being fruitless, it may be detrimental to the prince. Please be careful."

Xie Yan nodded solemnly and said: "Thank you for your guidance, Taifu, I know it well."

Taifu Su sighed, and murmured: "It's only been 30 years since Dasheng founded the country, and it's only been ten years since Gaozu passed away... Fortunately, the prince is still here..."

Xie Yan said: "The Grand Tutor is Dasheng's pinnacle of Dinghai. If the Grand Tutor hadn't been supported by the court these years, it would be difficult for this king to have both."

Taifu Su shook his head and said: "I just hope that in my lifetime, I won't see another war in Dasheng territory."
