The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 303 The Eve of Entering Beijing ([-])

As soon as the weather improved, Ning urged Su Chengzhi to find Lu Jinkang and continue on his way.

Although her body has not fully recovered, fortunately Su Zerui is already alive and kicking, she is really embarrassed to continue to delay everyone's schedule because she is alone.

What Ning didn't know was that although her and Su Zerui's illnesses made the team stagnate, the entire team escaped a catastrophe because of this stop.

If Ning's mother and son were not sick and delayed the trip, according to their scheduled itinerary, they should just catch up with the mountain torrent ahead.

Everyone broke out in a cold sweat when they got such news, and they were extremely thankful for Taicheng's stop.

When the convoy started again, it was even more fortunate to pass through the official road that was washed out by the mountain torrents, the mud accumulated on both sides of the official road, and the villages that were destroyed by the flood.

Because of better ice-making methods, and because of the illness of Ning Shi and Su Zerui, Su Chengzhi no longer objected to placing an ice basin on the car, so even though the weather became hotter after the team started again, the days in the carriage were worse than before. Much better.

Afterwards, whenever they stopped to rest at one place, ice basins were added both in the room and in the tents of the sergeants outside, so that everyone could have a good rest.

With the insect repellent powder provided by Su Yunduo and the blessing of the ice basin, although the weather is getting hotter and hotter, there are still so many hours to travel, because everyone has a good rest, and everyone's mental state is much better.

After another five days of walking like this, the group finally arrived at the last post before entering Beijing.

Seeing that they were about to enter Beijing, they did not expect to catch up with the torrential rain in the capital. The heavy rain like a waterfall hit the sky and covered the convoy once again, immobilizing them at the post station.

Lu Jinkang and Ning Zhongping braved the heavy rain and checked with the soldiers to strengthen the rainproof and waterproof of the carriage carrying saltpeter. After making sure that there was no problem, they returned to the post station, but they were all drowned.

Su Yunduo borrowed the kitchen of the inn long ago, boiled a large pot of thick ginger soup, and brought bowls of it to the lobby for everyone to drink.

Su Yunduo remembered that Lu Jinkang didn't like the taste of ginger very much. If Jiu'er were to serve him ginger soup, he might not be able to take a sip. After thinking about it, he personally brought ginger soup to Lu Jinkang.

Sure enough, Lu Jinkang stared at Jiang Tang with a bitter face and did not move for a while, while Su Yunduo stared at him stubbornly.

Knowing that he couldn't escape, Lu Jinkang raised his head and drank it with a bitter face, and then Su Yunduo left with a smile and satisfied with Zisu Shanshan.

Although it rained only for one night, and the sun was shining in the sky the next morning, the convoy could only stay at the post station.

Because a section of the road to Beijing was washed away by mudslides brought by mountain torrents, it is currently under repair, and vehicles are temporarily impassable. Fortunately, the bridge was not destroyed, but a small section of the road was covered by mudslides, so it is not difficult to repair it.

Lu Jinkang asked the guards around him to take a detour to report back to the capital first, and the group waited in the post station for the road to be repaired.

Seeing that he could go to Beijing, but because of the delay of a few days before, it is difficult to move now. Ning muttered rather self-pityingly: "It's all my fault. If I didn't eat that piece of watermelon, I wouldn't get sick, and I wouldn't be sick." Brother Rui got sick, and we were able to enter Beijing five days ago, so why were we stuck here. It's all my fault that your father's entry day is just around the corner."

Su Yunduo hadn't figured out how to persuade Ning, but she heard Su Chengzhi say: "How can I blame you for this matter! If you want to blame it, it is also my fault. If I listened to Zijian's persuasion that day, I put an ice basin on the carriage early and Why let your mother and child suffer?! I will not stay in Taicheng."

It's enough to think about this pair of parents!

Su Yunduo frowned slightly: "Oh, my father, my mother, why don't you think about it, if we didn't stay in Taicheng, wouldn't we just meet the mountain torrent in Kangcheng?!"

It seems to be so!

Ning Shi and Su Chengzhi looked at each other for a while, and continued their self-criticism and reflection.

Su Yunduo was really helpless, so he had no choice but to send Su Zerui into Ning's arms, and left with his hands.

Well, let the husband and wife review each other, and she should stay away from them!
Even Nanny Chen shook her head when she heard this, worrying in her heart how she would face possible turmoil and fights after entering Beijing with such a temper.

Looking at the back of Su Yunduo leaving, Mammy Chen couldn't help but rejoice in her heart.

Anyway, this family is not all soft-tempered, the eldest lady has a strong temper, she should be able to protect the master and wife.

Su Yunduo retreated from his parents' room, and met Lu Jinkang who was looking up at the sky and wondering what he was thinking.

"Cousin Lu, what are you looking at?!" Su Yunduo raised his head and looked at the sky, as if there was nothing special, and asked with frowned eyebrows.

Although there was a torrential rain yesterday, the temperature today is not low. In addition to the moisture from the scorching sun, it is really sweltering. Because there is an ice basin in the house, no one is willing to wait except for the sergeants and guards on duty. outside.

Lu Jinkang withdrew his gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and looked at the charmingly smiling girl in front of him. He felt a sudden jump in his heart, and wanted to reach out and touch that slightly wheat-colored but more delicate face.

"Cousin Lu?" Lu Jinkang's gaze made Su Yunduo feel a little stressed, so he couldn't help but murmured.

"Cough..." Lu Jinkang made a fake cough to cover up his embarrassment: "It's hot, why don't you stay indoors?"

Thinking of the parents who were self-criticizing and introspecting in the room, Su Yunduo's eyes flashed a little hazy, and soon lowered them, and when they looked up again, they were as clear as water: "I want to talk to my uncle."

Although Su Yunduo tried his best to conceal it, the gloom in her eyes did not escape Lu Jinkang's sharp eyes, but he only thought that Su Yunduo was worried about the situation he would face after entering Beijing, so he thought for a while and said: "The capital city is not a dragon's pool or a tiger's den, so my cousin doesn't need to be so worried .Even if there are people who don’t have long eyes, it’s because of me... the Duke’s Mansion!"

Su Yunduo stared at Lu Jinkang silently for a while, then slowly withdrew his gaze.

If she heard correctly, what Lu Jinkang wanted to express just now was that if someone made things difficult for her, he would stand up for her.

Although in the end he insisted on bringing the "Duke Town Mansion", Su Yunduo still understood what he meant.

To Su Yunduo, Lu Jinkang's secretive intentions are like an ice basin in summer and a warm sun in winter, which is extremely ironic and heart-warming.

Lu Jinkang was born rich and noble, and his temperament has always been cold, but it is not easy to say such things to her, so Su Yunduo didn't intend to expose him, so he just pursed his lips and smiled slightly: "If someone doesn't have eyes, he must try to find……"

Speaking of this, Su Yunduo deliberately paused for a moment and said: "The Zhen Guo Mansion supports it! Looking down on our family means looking down on my grandmother, and looking down on my grandmother is naturally looking down on the Zhen Guo Mansion!"
