Chapter 171 Going to Lin'an

"Yes, yes, when the slave came, the young lady gave special instructions. I was busy announcing the good news just now, but I forgot."

While talking, Qingde took out a letter from his bosom and handed it over respectfully.

Su Junning smiled when the result came, and immediately took it apart to read.

"You two sisters, you are really close. You have packed a lot of things when you go to Lin'an to send New Year's gifts during the New Year." Cui joked aside.

After reading the letter, Su Junning raised her head to reply.

"Sister Wanyin and I are bosom friends, so we are naturally close. No, before I left, she told me in a letter that she told me to go and live in the same yard with her."

"Okay, okay, let you go." Cui waved his hand.

He also asked Mother Luo to arrange for Qingde, who delivered the letter, to go down and rest.

After only the mother and daughter were left in the room, Cui began to ponder.

"It's faster to go to Lin'an by water, about four or five days, then we have to leave in early April, and there is still half a month left, I have to prepare things quickly."

"Last year, I went back to Bianjing by boat at about this time. I didn't expect to go again this year." Su Junning said with emotion.

He couldn't help but recall that the first time he met Shen Qianwei was at the pier in Bianjing.

Breaking fingers, I have known each other for more than a year.

Thinking about this secretly in her heart, Su Junning returned to the Tibetan Jade Pavilion from Cui's room.

Naturally, she also wanted to prepare a wedding gift for her cousin. When she lived in Uncle Lin'an's house, Su Yuren took good care of her.

When Su Yi came back from the yamen in the evening, he was also happy to hear about it.

The whole family is waiting for the results of the palace examination in a few days.

To everyone's surprise, Cui Yan won the first prize after the palace examination ended on March 25.

The second place is Li Yuheng, who is known as the number one talented person in Bianjing, but Tanhua is from other places, and no one knows him.

These are the three in the first class. Su Yuzhen and Su Yu'an are also good in the exam. One is the eleventh in the second class, and the other is the 56th in the second class. In short, they are all in the front.

On the day Cui Yan wore big red flowers and rode a tall horse through the streets of Bianjing, many girls threw handkerchiefs and sachets away.

Looking at her cousin's face, Su Junning kept thinking in her heart that a man's face is a disaster, but this time around the street, she stole so many ladies' hearts.

After a few days of bustle and bustle, the Su family is preparing to leave for Lin'an to attend the wedding banquet.

Su Yi couldn't go away, after all, he was an official ordered by the court, so it was impossible for him to go back and forth for more than ten days.

I thought that Su Yuxuan and Su Yu'an would go with them, but I didn't expect that after the palace examination, the court quickly issued the official appointment document, and even detained them all at once.

In the end, only Cui Shi and Su Junning's mother and daughter could go.

But this is also impossible.

On the day of departure, Su Yi personally sent his wife and daughter aboard.

It's just that what Su Junning didn't expect was that Cui Shi was very seasick.

I couldn't vomit on the first day, and I couldn't even get up on the second day.

"How good is this? It will take two or three days to get there. I have to go to the shore and find a doctor." Su Junning frowned.

Then Mother Luo said, "The servant girl will ask the boatman to see where he can find a suitable place to dock. Let's invite a doctor to come on the boat and show the lady."

Su Junning nodded, and Mother Luo left immediately.

I'll be back in a while,
"Miss, this servant heard about it, and said that in less than an hour's time, Dongping County is ahead, and we can dock there."

"Okay, then I'll send two young men to the city to find a doctor. It's getting late now, and it's inconvenient for a maid to go if I don't know the place well." Su Junning said.

Mother Luo nodded, "Miss, don't worry, I'll save you, slave."

About an hour later, the boat docked at a small pier.

This wharf is not even comparable to Lin'an, after all Dongping County is just a county.

But maybe it's because there are many merchant ships and passenger ships passing by. The side of the pier is lively, with a lot of stalls selling food and special products, yelling and shouting, which is very lively.

Mother Luo sent two reliable and smart servants to get off the boat to find the doctor, and they went in to serve Cui Shi.

Su Junning and Nan Xu went to the deck to breathe, and the master and servant were attracted by the long line of small stalls on the shore.

The main reason is that during the two days of sailing, it is always inconvenient to cook on board, and the ingredients are limited, so eating is not very comfortable. Now that I smell the aroma from the shore, I feel a little hungry.

So after watching for a while, Su Junning took Nan Xu and two servants off the boat.

She was beautiful and well dressed, so naturally she attracted many people's attention for a while.

But because there were servants and servants by his side, no one dared to strike up a conversation casually.

Su Junning didn't want to stay on the shore for a long time. After all, she was worried that it would be unsafe, so she quickly asked Nan Xu to buy some hot and fresh food, and turned to go to the boat.

But what she didn't expect was that with just such a blink of an eye, people would still be watching her.

It was Zhao Sanping, the leader of the water bandits in this area.

"See, it's either rich or expensive."

At a noodle stall, Zhao Sanping said in a low voice, dressed up as ordinary diners, but in fact they were picking targets.

The younger brother next to him also looked at it carefully and nodded.

"It's a fat sheep, but brother, I saw that there were two young men on their boat coming down into the city just now, I don't know what to do, let's wait and see, don't provoke anyone who shouldn't be provoked."

Zhao Sanping took a sip of his wine, a dark light appeared in his eyes.

"Recently, the management of the canal has been strict. After the bandits were suppressed in Yuzhou last year, bandits were being suppressed in various places. It is not easy for them to build villages on the mountains, and it is not easy for us to make a living in the water. There has been no such thing for more than half a year. What kind of oil and water is fishing for, and if you don’t do big things, the brothers will lose their hearts.”

Listening to his words, the person next to him also wiped his face with a troubled look on his face.

After watching for a while, they saw that the two servants of the Su family had invited the doctor to board the boat, and they immediately regained their spirits.

Ask the doctor to explain that there are patients on board, and the presence of patients means that the combat power is low, so it is easy to start.

So after waiting for the doctor to get off the boat, he immediately dragged the doctor away.

After a long questioning session, I learned from the doctor that a woman was sick on board, and it wasn't a serious illness, but just seasick.

And the only masters he saw on the boat were this woman and a young lady, but he didn't see anyone else.

However, there are a lot of servants and servants, all of them are strong and strong, and they all look like good housekeepers.

Apart from that, the doctor didn't know any other news.

After asking these questions, Zhao Sanping thought for a while and decided to do it.

Firstly, it happened to be night, so it was easier to attack, and secondly, even if the other party had a family guard, the water bandits were naturally more powerful when it came to matters on the water, and there were quite a few of them.

In the end, the doctor said that he only saw a lady and a lady, maybe there was no male master on board, and it was easier to deal with a couple of women.

After making up his mind, Zhao Sanping immediately mobilized his men to prepare for a surprise attack in the middle of the night.

 Recently, I have been busy with work, and there are relatively few updates. I will update it for everyone in a few days
