The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 172
In her previous life, Yun Duo had trouble recognizing the bed. She thought she would suffer from insomnia, but she didn't expect to fall asleep quickly with her head on the pillow.

After a good night's sleep, I opened my eyes and saw a hazy room. I squinted my eyes and looked at the hourglass in the corner of the room, but it was already three o'clock.

Su Yunduo recalled that Lu Jinkang once said that today she will leave at [-]:[-], has she already missed the time?

Startled, Su Yunduo got up from the bed, hurriedly dressed and opened the door.

The small courtyard was silent and hazy, but someone was playing Wu Qinxi silently, and when she fixed her eyes on it, it was her father Su Chengzhi, and she instantly felt relieved.

Maybe he heard the sound of Su Yunduo opening the door, maybe he just finished playing a set of Wu Qin Xi, Su Chengzhi stopped and looked at Su Yunduo with a smile: "Are you awake? Did you sleep well last night?"

Su Yunduo replied with some embarrassment: "I slept well. I got up late."

"It's not too late, although it was originally decided to leave at [-] o'clock in the morning, but something happened suddenly on the construction site, Mr. Lu rushed over with his entourage at the moment of time Yin, and asked us to wait at the inn before he left. Things will come back." Su Chengzhi walked out of the courtyard while talking, and called the servants at the post station to bring water and breakfast.

Hearing Su Chengzhi's words, Su Yunduo couldn't help being horrified. She slept so deeply in a strange place, and even Lu Jinkang and others who lived in the same yard never heard a single movement when they went out!
Although Lu Jinkang and others deliberately lowered their steps, when did her vigilance become so weak?

What if you meet a villain? !
Su Yunduo blamed herself deeply in her heart, but she never thought that it was her trust and dependence on Lu Jinkang.

It was precisely because Lu Jinkang and his guards were by her side that she relaxed her vigilance and slept so peacefully.

It wasn't too late for Lu Jinkang and his party to come back. At the beginning of the morning, there was a rush of horseshoes outside the post station, and soon Jiu'er appeared in the small courtyard, and saw the calm and composed father and daughter of the Su family reading a book, with the corners of their mouths Twitching slightly, the father and daughter could hold their breath.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Su Yunduo looked away from the book, looked up, saw the corner of Jiu'er's mouth twitching slightly, and knew that it was Lu Jinkang who asked Jiu'er to urge them to leave, so he stood up quickly and said: "But Are you leaving?"

Su Chengzhi also hurriedly put away the book, stood up and looked at Jiu'er.

Jiu'er cupped his fists at Su's father and daughter: "My son is waiting outside the post station, please Mr. Su and Miss Su to set off."

The carriage has already been prepared and guarded outside the post station, and the luggage has already been loaded into the car. The father and daughter of the Su family, who have obtained the letter, each hold the books in their hands and follow Jiu'er out of the small courtyard to the gate of the post station. Lu Jinkang A group of people were waiting for them outside the station.

Although Lu Jinkang had a dusty face, he was still imposing, and he looked over apologetically.

Su Chengzhi took a step forward and bowed to Lu Jinkang: "Your Master has kept you waiting."

Su Yunduo quietly followed behind Su Chengzhi, glanced at Lu Jinkang, met his gaze with a slight smile, and then looked around the scenery outside the station as if nothing had happened, while avoiding Lu Jinkang's smiling gaze.

After Su Chengzhi and Lu Jinkang finished exchanging greetings, the group got on horses and cars, and quickly left the station and went straight to Yanshan Mansion.

After all, it is the Fucheng of Yanshan Mansion. The closer the road is to Yanshan Mansion, the smoother the road is. However, Su Yunduo, who had been in the carriage for two days, still felt that her whole body was about to collapse. At the city gate, she was not in the mood to see the bustling streets of Fucheng. She just wanted to find an inn to stay and take a hot bath to relieve fatigue and relieve body aches.

Anyway, they will live in Fucheng for about two months, so they have plenty of time to take a look at Chengmen Street.

Lu Jinkang invited them to live in the other courtyard of the Zhen Guogong Mansion in the city of Yanshan Prefecture, but Su Chengzhi thought that he had nothing to do with the Zhen Guo Gong Mansion other than a few acquaintances with Lu Jinkang, so he didn't want to bother them. After some discussion, Su Yunduo decided to find an inn near the Gongyuan and stay there first.

It's a pity that things are not as simple as their father and daughter thought. The three-year township examination has brought a huge passenger flow to Yanshan Fucheng. Not to mention that the inn near the Gongyuan was closed three months ago It was booked and sold out.

No, they made a big circle around the Gongyuan, not to mention the big inns near the Gongyuan, even the small inns near the Gongyuan were already overcrowded.

I ran to several inns but couldn't check in smoothly, either because there were no rooms, or the environment was too bad, anyway, none of them were satisfactory.

Of course, the picky person is definitely not Su Chengzhi. If he had followed his request, he would have lived here long ago.

Su Yunduo's plan is to find an inn to live in first, and then go around the Gongyuan tomorrow to see if he can rent a quiet small courtyard to live in. Renting a small courtyard may cost more money, but it is more convenient than staying in an inn much.

It's a pity that they forgot that there was Lu Jinkang who came to Fucheng with them.

After wandering around like this, their carriage got farther and farther away from the Gongyuan, but they still couldn't find a suitable inn. At this time, Lu Jinkang invited Su Chengzhi again.

Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Su Yunduo already understood that even if there was a suitable inn, Lu Jinkang would find some and other problems that made it impossible for them to stay, so he quickly re-discussed with Su Chengzhi.

"Father, let's follow Mr. Lu's arrangement and live in the other courtyard of the Duke's Mansion first. If we go on like this, I'm afraid we will go out of the city!" Su Yunduo lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, but turned around and was still hesitating. The determined Su Chengzhi persuaded.

Su Chengzhi glanced outside through the curtain of the car. There was no longer the bustle on both sides of the street. There were only scattered lanterns emitting dim light. It was indeed late. Even if he wasn't tired, Su Yunduo should be.

Su Chengzhi is not a fool, how could he not understand what Lu Jinkang did after entering the city, he just didn't accept this kind of reward for no merit.

Sighing in his heart, Su Chengzhi raised the curtain of the car and hugged Lu Jinkang, who was strolling beside the carriage on horseback, "Thank you Mr. Lu!"

When they wandered around just now, they had actually passed by this other courtyard of the Duke of Zhen's Mansion several times. The other courtyard is two streets away from the Gongyuan. The environment is elegant and quiet, and it is a good place to live and study.

Although it is a separate courtyard, or a courtyard far away from the capital city, it does not look decadent at all, but is exquisite in every way. When entering this courtyard, Su Yunduo suddenly feels in his heart the feeling of Grandma Liu walking into the Grand View Garden in "Dream of Red Mansions". .

Su Chengzhi was arranged in the guest room. Originally, Lu Jinkang wanted Su Yunduo to live in the west wing in the backyard. His aunt lived there for a long time when she was a girl, and the furnishings inside were still as they were decades ago.

Although she already believed that the aunt Lu Jinkang talked about was her nominal grandmother, Su Yunduo still did not agree to live in the room where this "grandmother" she had never met. She insisted on living with Su Chengzhi in the guest house in the front yard. In the courtyard, Lu Jinkang finally didn't insist this time.

After a lot of fuss, after dinner and washing, it was already midnight, Su Yunduo was so sleepy that he could barely open his eyes, so he fell on the bed and yawned, exuding the refreshing smell of saponins and the sun after rubbing He mumbled "I'm coming to Fucheng" in his mouth, and fell asleep.
