The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 297 On the Road to Beijing ([-])

Lu Jinkang returned to Geshan Village the day before Zhang Zhong and Bai Ying got married, and the Su family also left for the capital the day after Zhang Zhong and Bai Ying got married.

The Su family went to the capital to recognize their ancestors and returned to their clan. There were not many opportunities to return to Geshan Village. The villagers of Geshan Village were reluctant to part with each other. Almost the whole village sent out to see their ancestors one way after another. In the end, it was Su Chengzhi who got off the carriage. He gave a deep bow to the folks in the village, saying that even if he recognized his ancestor and returned to the clan, he still regards Geshan Village as his hometown, not to mention that his family still has this property in Geshan Village.

Except for Ning Zhongping who was unable to get away due to work in the saltpeter mine this day, the Ning family closed the shop again and the whole family came to see him off, reluctantly sending them out of Linxi Town.

Ning held the hands of the two elders of the Ning family and tears flowed down her cheeks, but the two elders of the Ning family were very strong.

Grandma Ning patted Ning's hand and told her again and again: "You can't be so weak when you go to the capital, you have to be able to afford it yourself to be able to stand up."

In private, she held Su Yunduo's hand and her eyes were red: "Your mother is useless, Duo Duo should protect her more."

Looking at Ning who was crying into tears, Su Yunduo was worried, but she didn't want the old man to worry, so she tried to hold back her reluctance to appease the old man: "Don't worry, grandma, mother is just reluctant to leave grandpa and grandma. The mountains are high and the waters are far away, maybe it won't be long before we can reunite again."

Su Zechen, who was standing by the side, suddenly interjected: "After we settle in the capital, we must pick up grandpa and grandma to reunite in the capital!"

"Hey, just pick up grandpa and grandma?" Quan's and Shen's sisters-in-law said in unison.

"Of course, there are uncles, aunts, cousins, and cousins. By the way, there are also cousins. Not one of them is missing." Su Zechen is really a clever ghost, but he just paused and included everyone. .

Su Zechen's interruption dilutes Li Xu, Su Yunduo gave Su Zechen an appreciative look, this kid is quite clever today!
Together with the Ning family, Su Chengzhi's three proud disciples Liu Yushu, Liu Yuli, and Yuan Tengfei from Geshan Village were also sent out of Linxi Town.

These three people can be regarded as Su Chengzhi's direct disciples. Now Liu Yuli has taken the lead in the village school of Geshan Village, Yuan Tengfei has established a firm foothold in the town school, and Liu Yushu is striving to sprint to a higher goal. Su Chengzhi is right for the three of them. Each has encouragement and advice.

It takes farewell to see you off thousands of miles away, and the motorcade outside Linxi Town is about to go to the official road, so it stops the pace of seeing off pedestrians.

Although there are only six people in the Su family, there are as many as 16 people including the old lady Lu from the capital who sent them to serve them, plus Zisu and Zhang Ping'an.

The weather has entered summer, and the weather gets hotter as you go south. When Lu Jinkang came from Yanshan Mansion, he specially brought a small team of six carriages. The guards of the government are also soldiers in the army.

Su Chengzhi and Ning brought Su Zerui into a carriage, and Nanny Chen waited on the carriage.Su Yunduo brought his two younger brothers in a carriage, and Zisu waited on him in the carriage.Zhang Pingan took four servants with a carriage, and the remaining three maids with a carriage, and there were two other carriages specially used to pull boxes and cages.

Su Chengzhi's servant, Qiu Xi, disliked the boredom of riding in a carriage, and was willing to ride horses with Jiu'er and the others under the scorching sun, which made Su Zexuan and Su Zechen envious. They looked at Su Yunduo eagerly, hoping that Su Yunduo would allow them to ride horses too. Run for a while.

Su Yunduo glared at the two younger brothers and said: "In the future, if you learn to ride a horse, you can also run casually like this, but for now, you should be more honest and stay in the carriage."

Su Zechen pouted unhappily and said, "I want to learn how to ride a horse. My sister always said that I am still young, but now she blames me for not saying that I can ride a horse!"

After all, Su Zexuan was older and more sensible, so he quickly looked away, gently squeezed Su Zechen's bulging face, and took out a book to read, but was stopped by Su Yunduo again: "The car is bumpy, be careful Hurt your eyes. Why don't you look at the scenery outside."

Su Zexuan stared at Su Yunduo for a long while, then put down the book helplessly.

It's not far from Linxi Town, the scenery outside is the same as that of Geshan Village, what's there to see?

Forget it, let's close our eyes and rest.

However, Su Zechen kept kneeling and looking out. After all, he was young and very curious, and he had few opportunities to go out, so everything he saw was new.

He made some surprise or admiration sounds from time to time, which made the boring journey less boring.

It was already evening when the convoy hurried to the post station near the mine, and they only wanted to stay at this post station for one night this day.

This inn is a newly established inn. When Su Yunduo accompanied Su Chengzhi to Fucheng to participate in the autumn test last year, it was still under construction, but now it is already a very good inn.

Lu Jinkang arranged for a group of people to stay at the post station, but he himself went to the mine without stopping with his guards.

In the early morning of the second day, Su Yunduo was woken up by the sound of horseshoes. He hurriedly put on his outer clothes and opened the window to look out, only to see a long motorcade outside the station. He was really shocked.

It wasn't until he saw Lu Jinkang's figure that he realized that this convoy was transporting saltpeter to the capital, and that the one riding behind Lu Jinkang was his uncle Ning Zhongping who hadn't appeared in the send-off team yesterday.

Will Ning Zhongping go to the capital with them this time?

This long convoy consisted of more than 30 horse-drawn carriages at least, all of which were double-drawn horse-drawn carriages. Obviously, the carriages were heavy. It seemed that the amount of saltpeter going to the capital this time was not small.

Su Yunduo hurriedly washed up, and urged her two younger brothers who lived next door to get up, before going to her parents' room.

Naturally, Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi had already woken up, coaxing the heavy Su Zerui out of bed.

"Brother Xuan and Brother Chen?" Seeing Su Yunduo bringing Zisu over, Ning asked while coaxing Su Zerui.

"The younger brothers have already woken up, Zhang Ping'an and the others have already woken up, and now they are all going to the hall for dinner." Su Yunduo took Su Zerui who was tired of Ning's arms and refused to dress properly, and asked Ning to wash up quickly. After thinking for a while, he said, "I saw my uncle."

Ning's eyes lit up immediately: "Really? He wants to go to the capital with us?"

Su Yunduo didn't know whether Ning Zhongping would go to the capital with them.

Ning Zhongping is the steward of the mine transportation team, and he happened to appear here with the convoy at the moment. No wonder the Ning family also thought that Ning Zhongping would go to the capital with them.

Although he had some guesses in his heart, Su Yunduo still shook his head: "I don't know."

She really didn't know, Lu Jinkang didn't mention it, and Ning Zhongping didn't say either.

Su Yunduo couldn't bear to see the sudden gloom in Ning's eyes, but before she was sure, it was better not to give Ning hope, knowing that the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

When Su Chengzhi and Ning Shi packed up and arrived at the lobby of the inn, Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping also happened to enter the lobby from the outside.
