Hexi

Chapter 3 Three urgent?
Located in the small side hall on the only way leading to Anqing Hall, Mrs. Yang, the wife of the Duke of Zhen, was caressing the newly cut red plums on the table, with a worried expression on her face.

The lady Fuyun who was sitting with her took a few glances at her, and couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty's martial arts skills are world-class, and the place he's going to is not far away. I think it's because the wind and snow walk slowly, so there won't be any accidents. Madam, don't worry."

"Of course he won't suffer! If he can suffer a few times, that's great!"

Yang became more and more annoyed when she heard the words. "Ever since I was three years old, he hasn't let me worry about it. Either he offended one family or that family. The salary his father earned all these years has almost paid for him! But he still wants to go to the East without telling me. Lin Wei, is he allowed to enter that place? In the past, when he caused troubles, he just got into a fight with his sons and pals, and if I came forward with his father, he would give me some face.

"Where is this Donglin Guard? It's embarrassing to move Zhe! If it blocks someone's future, can it be settled with a few good words? Earlier the guard said that he could arrive at the mansion in a quarter of an hour, and it took a few quarters of an hour." There is no one in sight, who knows where he went to show his prestige again!"

As Madam Yang said, she patted the plum branch on the table, her still charming face was full of anger.

Fuyun quickly stood up: "The son is old enough to know how to measure. Besides, he is doing things for the emperor right now, so if the emperor dares to use it, then it's no problem."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case! Did you forget that he broke the leg of the Li family's son last month? Now we are still paying the medical expenses for the Li family! A son of a good family should not bully a good woman! God, why did I have such a trouble?"

Fuyun smiled and handed her the ready-made milk soup: "It's a good thing for the son to help the weak and have good conduct. The emperor even praised him."

"He's fine, but I'm so worried. Offending everyone, what good is it? No, sooner or later I have to let him withdraw from the yamen, and let me guard the family business at home!"

Yang propped her forehead and sighed.Then I thought of something, and raised my head again: "Where did the master go? I asked him to go to Li's house to say hello, has he been there?..."

"A dozen heads can't think of a way?!"

As soon as the voice in the room fell, there was a thunderous reprimand from outside.

Yang Shi paused, and stood up abruptly: "Is he back?"

Han Mo kicked on the flower shelf under the door, a shelf made of wenge, and it was kicked to pieces in an instant. "Who are there?"

Dou Yin bowed his head and said a series of names.

Han Mo sneered: "Everyone is a capable official handling cases!"

"A lie!"

A shout came from the front porch, Han Mo turned his head, only to see Mrs. Yang walking quickly from the front.

He glanced at himself, then turned around sharply, pointing at Dou Yin: "Get the car ready! Go to Su's house in a quarter of an hour!"

Yang Shi chased after him, looked at his back as if fleeing, and looked at Dou Yin suspiciously: "Why is he running?"

Dou Yin held his breath and looked at the half of rotten vegetable leaves on his fingertips, and said slowly: "It must be the third emergency?"

……

The unhappiness on the street did not bring Su Luo any follow-up troubles.After all, she has more important things to care about after returning home.

After getting off the carriage, she first stood under the screen wall of the Su family and looked at it.

The mansion, which has been built for several decades, is still solid and luxurious. The two big characters "Su Mansion" painted in gold on the lintel should have been repainted in the old year, and it looks very new.The corner door was half open, and there were many horses and carriages parked under the tree at the door, and inside and outside the door, servants of different clothes occasionally came in and out despite the snow.

Su Wei withdrew her gaze: "Go find Mu Jin, I'll wait for you in the east courtyard."

According to the established rules, after returning home, Su Luo should first go to the main courtyard to meet the elders first.But she crossed the main courtyard and walked directly to the front courtyard at the top of the East Kua courtyard.

There is an old plum tree in the courtyard, and a tree with scarlet flowers blooms in the wind and snow.

Standing on tiptoe behind the snow-pressed plum tree, she could almost see the scene beyond the front yard.Blocked by snowflakes, the scenery in the courtyard is not very clear, only the servants in the mansion can be discerned, and they are all busy in the front yard at this time.But Feng Xue couldn't block that dignified and serious atmosphere.

Today is the tenth day of the first month of the 18th year of Great Zhou Shunkang, and it has been six months and eighteen days since the day Su Ruo left the mansion to recuperate.The reason why she remembers this day so clearly is because she chose to go back home today, which was a decision she had repeatedly deliberated over the past few months.

Looking up at the blue tiles and high walls on all sides, every plant and tree here is fresher than in memory. No one knows that in the eyes of others, in just six months, she, Su Luo, has started her life all over again.

According to the original trajectory of her life, when she was 14 years old—that is, last year, before her stepmother Xu was about to give birth, she suddenly fell ill and coughed for a long time, but it didn't get better.

So after Xu gave birth, she offered to move to Zhuangzi to recuperate first.One is to prevent Su Li from getting sick, and the other is that Su's mother's three-year filial piety is about to expire, and she happens to be copying scriptures there, waiting to be eliminated.

Three months later, she came back as scheduled to attend Su Li's [-]-day banquet.The banquet was very lively. The Su family was not a top-notch dignitary, but they had a steady flow of grace and honor, so there were many people present, including her fiancé Lu's family who had fallen in love with her.

Then she obeyed her father's order to discuss marriage and engagement, until today, three months later——today in that life, so many people suddenly came to the mansion, and there was such an atmosphere.

But Su Wei is in the inner house, just working as a female celebrity as usual, preparing for the wedding, and has no idea what is going on outside.

All she knew was that Su Shou and his second uncle Su Zan hadn't returned home all day.It was rare that the stepmother Xu didn't come to send her maid to lecture, and the old lady of the Su family who lived in Anfu Hall also chanted scriptures all day in the Buddhist hall.

Even her younger brother Su Qi didn't cause trouble, but walked around the yard in a panic, and spent the rest of the time studying in the room.

Later, Su Shou went to the court as usual, and the days didn't seem to have changed, but since then, the Su family's reputation as a master locker has not been so loud. It didn't take long for Shenji Ying and Jiang Zaoju to take over.

Su Shou was expected to rise in the official career, and soon, his mentor would recommend him to be promoted to the sixth minister, but until he died of illness, he had been hovering between the fourth and fifth rank officials.

The Su family is still the Su family, but they have become exhausted from a bright future.Su Wei, who was originally engaged to be married, was divorced in the process.

So many years later, when Su Wei sat under the lamp and fiddled with the lock and key reeds on the table, recalling the first half of this bastard's life in depression, she always felt that the tenth day of the first month of the 18th year of Shunkang was not for her. irrelevant.
