The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 833 Rush to Boni City

The day before going to Boni City, Lu Jinkang not only completed all the affairs in Yongcheng early, but also accompanied Su Yunduo to attend the ritual ceremony of the newly purchased land in the western suburbs in the afternoon.

Shenggui is indeed a capable person, but within two days, he not only completed all the documents for this land, but also invited the abbot of the most famous temple in the area, Master Yuanhui, to hold a grand ceremony in the western suburbs to save the land. Undead on the land.

The people in Yongcheng respected Master Yuanhui very much. With Master Yuanhui personally presiding over the ritual, this wasteland that was hardly cared for and dreaded by people was basically revitalized, and the next step was to hire labor to reclaim it and build a winery.

"Master, just rest assured that you can go to Boni City, it only takes two months, no, it only takes one month to change the old look of this place." Before Su Yunduo and Lu Jinkang left the western suburbs, Shenggui and Zhang Pingan asked the two of them at the same time. people express their views.

Looking at the vast wasteland full of weeds half a person's height in front of him, Su Yunduo didn't want to put too much pressure on the two able-bodied generals, so naturally he didn't set a time for changing the old look, but repeatedly told the two not only to They themselves have to combine work and rest, and they should try their best to avoid high temperature when hiring labor to cultivate. Only in this way can we get twice the result with half the effort.

The couple returned to Xiaofengyuan in the Marshal's Mansion, before they had time to sit down and take a sip of water to catch their breath, Yang Aoqun hurried over with Da Niuniu.

First push Lu Jinkang into the inner room to change clothes, and Su Yunduo personally welcomes Yang Aoqun, mother and daughter into the room.

Seeing that Yang Aoqun's face was sullen and his expression was very ugly, while Da Niuniu's face was still covered with tears, Su Yunduo couldn't help frowning slightly.

In the past two days, she has a lot of things on her hands, and she just treats the Marshal's Mansion as a temporary inn, so she doesn't pay any attention to what happened in the Marshal's Mansion, and even specially told her ear to report to Bai Kui Go out for a walk less.

It's just that there are some things that she can't avoid if she wants to. No, Yang Aoqun still came to her in the end.

Su Yunduo couldn't help but sighed secretly in his heart, while reaching out his hand to take the sobbing big girl and gently patted and comforted her, he looked at Yang Aoqun with concern and asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Yang Aoqun seemed to be waiting for Su Yunduo's words, and immediately opened the gate, pouring a basket full of bitter water on Su Yunduo.

In fact, Yang Aoqun didn't say anything, but Su Yunduo could guess that she gave Yang Aoqun the opportunity to vent his anger. Of course, she also had her own thoughts. Some matters would be far less effective if Lu Jinkang came forward. .

As for the concubine, Lu Jinkang, who was born and bred, definitely has more feelings than her.

Of course, Lu Jinkang, as the eldest son of the Duke of Zhenguo, was tougher than her in front of Bei Shi.

Sure enough, just after Yang Aoqun complained about Pei's insistence on leaving the big girl in Yongcheng to be raised by her, Lu Jinkang walked out from the room with a sullen face: "Although the lineage between the concubine and concubine is not clear in our Zhen Guogong's mansion, it has not given up a concubine's room." The principle of raising future generations!" Then he turned to Ziyue who was waiting in the room: "You go ahead and ask the housekeeper to come to Xiaofengyuan."

Yang Aoqun was obviously relieved, stood up and blessed Lu Jinkang.

Lu Jinkang just glanced at her indifferently, and lazily raised his hand to her to signal her to take it easy, his attention had already fallen on the big girl who was held in Su Yunduo's arms.

Lu Jinkang had met Da Niu Niu once before, but at that time Da Niu Niu was still young, just a baby, and he only met Lu Jinzhen's hand in a hurry, and he didn't even remember what Da Niu Niu looked like.

Goodbye today, Lu Jinkang, who is now a father himself, has to pay more attention to him.

Yang Aoqun hurriedly taught Da Niu Niu how to call someone. At this moment, Da Niu Niu stopped sobbing under the comfort of Su Yunduo, and looked at Lu Jinkang with a pair of big wet eyes shyly, and shouted timidly under Yang Aoqun's urging, " Uncle," and buried his head in Su Yunduo's arms, Lu Jinkang's eyes darkened.

"She's a little shy." Yang Aoqun was afraid that Lu Jinkang would not like Da Niu Niu's behavior, so he took Da Niu Niu from Su Yunduo's arms and explained.

Su Yunduo gave Lu Jinkang an angry look: "You always have a stern face, it's good that you didn't scare the big girl!"

While several people were talking, Ziyue came in with the butler, Lu Jinkang's face which had just relaxed just now became serious again, he gave the butler a few words with a sullen face, and then waved his hand to let the butler go down to work.

Soon, Mrs. Pei received instructions from Lu Jinkang personally delivered by the housekeeper, telling her to remember her identity. Even if she was Lu Jinzhen's biological mother, there was absolutely no reason for her to intervene in the education of the children and grandchildren of the Duke of Zhen.

Naturally, Bei Shi was so angry that he wished he could directly rush to Xiaofengyuan to confront Lu Jinkang.

It's just that she didn't have the guts to look for Lu Jinkang, so she gritted her teeth in her own room and broke the porcelain all over the floor.

Originally, Su Yunduo planned to rest for a while before discussing with Yang Aoqun the departure time tomorrow, since Yang Aoqun came to Xiaofengyuan at this moment, and Lu Jinkang was also there, so he simply agreed on the itinerary for tomorrow's departure and the itinerary along the way.

"My sister-in-law has been here for a few days. I should feel that although it is summer, the morning and evening are not difficult here, but the temperature is still quite high for one or two hours in the afternoon. In order to avoid the high temperature in the afternoon, we should start early." Here, Yang Aoqun is naturally the one with the most right to speak, she suggested first.

Lu Jinkang and Su Yunduo had no objection to Yang Aoqun's proposal.

So the three of them agreed to set off at the time of Mao, and tried to reach Fenghuang City, which was fifty miles away from Yongcheng City, before Sishi. They had lunch in Fenghuang City, took a short rest, and then set off for Boni City.

At the beginning, Su Yunduo was a little worried about this. Although the heavy vehicles had already gone to Boni City before them, their trip was considered easy, but Da Niuniu would go with them, and they could really arrive in two hours. Five or sixty miles away in Phoenix City, and then rush to Boni City on the same day to avoid the high temperature?

Faced with Su Yunduo's doubts, this time Yang Aoqun did not rush to answer, but glanced at Lu Jinkang, got up and left with the big girl in his arms, and left the opportunity to explain to Lu Jinkang.

"Don't worry, it's absolutely fine!" It's just that Yang Aoqun gave Lu Jinkang a chance, but Lu Jinkang only said such a sentence, so Su Yunduo was so angry that he stretched out his hand to pinch the soft flesh around his waist to express his dissatisfaction, but Lu Jinkang still didn't say much. do explain.

But when Su Yunduo staggered out of the city in the carriage the next day, he quickly understood the reason.

It turned out that all the horses pulling the cart had been changed. The foot strength of this group of horses was obviously better than that of the previous horses, and they ran not only fast but also smoothly.

"How is it?" Yang Aoqun, who was in the same car with Su Yunduo while holding Da Niuniu, raised his eyebrows at Su Yunduo.

"That's right, it's fast and stable. These can't be war horses!" Su Yunduo praised without hesitation, but also had doubts.

Yang Aoqun laughed and said: "These are not war horses, they are stronger than our domestic horses in Dongling, but it is impossible to send them to the battlefield."

To be honest, although Su Yunduo has a Kangyun Ranch in his hand, in order to run the Kangyun Ranch well, he has done a lot of homework to provide war horses for the imperial court as soon as possible, but his understanding of war horses is still very limited, which is naturally far better than that of his childhood. Yang Aoqun grew up on a war horse, this is also one of the important reasons why she must come to Kangyun Ranch to see for herself.

The north of Yongcheng is almost a flat river, except for the first ten miles or so of the Yongcheng, where almost no grass grows, forming a very obvious dividing line. After that, it is a piece of green, which is really so in the breeze. The wind blows the grass and feels like cattle and sheep, but all the way here only sees grass but not a few cattle and sheep.

Even though he has to live here for at least one year, such scenery still draws Su Yunduo's addiction to horseback riding.

It happened that Yang Aoqun couldn't bear to sit in the carriage, and handed the big girl to the nanny and maid, and the two sisters and sisters got on their horses and started running.

It was the first time for Su Yunduo to come here. Although Lu Jinkang had roughly told her about the geographical locations and dangers of Yongcheng City, Phoenix City and Boni City, she only had some extremely vague concepts in her mind because they were all just talk on paper.

Sitting in the carriage just now, what she could see through the window was very limited. After she got on the horse, she looked around again, because the sun had not yet risen, and the Yongcheng and Boni Mountains behind her were shrouded in mist , still makes Su Yunduo feel very shocked.

Yongcheng Pass stands like a giant between the Boni Mountains, with the magnificence and magnificence of being a single man. She was more afraid of the near-death experience that Lu Jinkang led people over the Boni Mountains and deep into the back of Beichen Kingdom.

Shaking his head to shake off the distracting thoughts in his heart, Su Yunduo drove his horse and ran forward side by side with Yang Aoqun for a quarter of an hour. The sun finally broke through the horizon, dispelled the mist covering the grassland, and cast a layer of bright golden light on the whole grassland .

What a nice view!Su Yunduo must give a heartfelt admiration.

After the sun came out, the visibility of the grassland was greatly improved. Su Yunduo couldn't help but be a little surprised when he looked at the indistinct city in the distance. Didn't it mean that there is only one Phoenix City between Yongcheng and Bonicheng?
How long has it been running, is Phoenix coming soon?
Su Yunduo pointed to the front suspiciously, turned his head and asked Yang Aoqun who was riding beside him: "Where is Phoenix City?"

Yang Aoqun followed the direction Su Yunduo pointed at, nodded and replied, "That's right, it's Phoenix City!"

Su Yunduo frowned slightly. Didn't it mean that Phoenix City is fifty miles away from Yongcheng? You can see it at a glance just after leaving Yongcheng. This fifty miles is too watery.

The doubt in Su Yunduo's eyes was naturally seen by Yang Aoqun, and he couldn't help laughing: "Does sister-in-law think that Phoenix City is right in front of you? Don't underestimate the distance, there are still forty miles to go from here." !"

is this real?Su Yunduo really didn't believe it, but Yang Aoqun probably wouldn't lie to her...

The two rode for another quarter of an hour. As the sun rose higher and higher, the temperature on the grassland began to rise obviously. Lu Jinkang, who was leading the team in front, returned to his horse and said, "The sun is high, let's go back to the carriage. At least one and a half hours before arriving in Phoenix!"

After hearing Lu Jinkang's words, Su Yunduo raised his eyebrows and looked at the still indistinct city ahead, and finally believed Yang Aoqun's words.

Although she wished she could run to the Kangyun Ranch outside Phoenix City, she didn't want to spoil herself, so she was very obedient but reluctant to get off the horse, and obediently got into the carriage with Yang Aoqun.

Sure enough, after walking for another hour and a half, the group finally entered Phoenix City and the main palace of Phoenix City.

Phoenix City is not big, but it is still prosperous. Su Yunduo already knows the origin of Phoenix City.

This is a city built to facilitate the trade of goods between Dongling Kingdom and Beichen Kingdom, and there is no defensive geography to rely on. Compared with Boni City, Dongling Kingdom took down Phoenix City with little effort.

Now the general who is stationed in Phoenix City is also a member of the Zhen Guogong's family named Lu Mo, who is the same generation as Lu Da and Lu Kun. Su Yunduo and Yang Aoqun followed their respective men and called him "Uncle Mo Jiu".

Besides Lu Mo, Lu Jinlin is also training with Lu Mo in Phoenix City.

Of course, in a few days Lu Jinlin will leave Beijiang and return to the capital. After all, his wedding is coming soon, and if he doesn't go back to the Yang family, he might really get angry.

Su Yunduo gave Lu Jinlin the family letter and clothes that Yang entrusted her to bring, and specially told Lu Mingyang to ask her to bring Lu Jinlin's words: "Grandpa asked you to go back as soon as possible to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, and think about it after you get married." A matter of experience."

After the test of the flames of war, Lu Jinlin's face, like Lu Jinbai's, has gradually lost its childishness, and there are more masculine corners. Now, after listening to Su Yunduo's words, there is a trace of shyness on his face, just like Su Yunduo's memory In the first meeting of the boy.

After lunch in Phoenix, the group bid farewell to Phoenix and set off again, planning to arrive at Boni City, the final destination of the trip, in two and a half hours.

Going north from Phoenix City is considered to be the boundary of Kangyun Ranch. Su Yunduo's heart is very excited. When she leaves Phoenix City, she is eager to ride a horse. She wants to see the ranch that belongs to her at the first time, but Yang Aoqun stops her : "You can't go out now, the sun is too hot. Besides, there is still a lot of distance from the temporary settlement of Kangyun Ranch. You can ride the horse after half an hour, so I promise you won't miss my sister-in-law's business."

Well, then bear with it!
After the carriage drove for about half an hour, the carriage finally stopped. Su Yunduo was overjoyed, lifted the curtain of the carriage and jumped down, but unexpectedly, there were some potholes on the ground outside. Lu Jinkang had come to the carriage first and quickly reached out to support her: "Be careful! Did you sprain your ankle?"

Su Yunduo stomped hard twice, and smiled a little embarrassedly: "Look, it's all right!"

Lu Jinkang shook his head helplessly, and Yang Aoqun, who got out of the car behind Su Yunduo, covered his mouth and chuckled, it was really rare to see Su Yunduo with such a childish side.

After standing still, Su Yunduo saw several people beside the carriage. He fixed his eyes and saw that they were Chuncheng and others who had come to northern Xinjiang to prepare for the construction of Kangyun Ranch.

It can be seen that this place has entered the boundary of Kangyun Ranch!
It's just that if you look around, you can only see a large area of ​​grass, and there is no expected scene. It can be seen that this is not the temporary residence of Kangyun Ranch.

Although Su Yunduo felt a little regretful, he could only suppress the joy in his heart. After meeting such veterans of Kangyun Ranch, he briefly learned about the preparations for the construction of Kangyun Ranch. Su Yunduo ordered Chunfeng and Zi The Yue couple and these people went to the ranch residence, and she herself had to follow Lu Jinkang to Boni City.

Only when I went to Boni City and met Lu Da and Xiao Xu, could I go to Kangyun Ranch to do my own business.
