Fiancee weak and unable to take care of herself?

Chapter 22
"Shaodong's family, our family's tea mountains are all on Qingcheng Mountain, more than [-] miles away from Jinguan City. The distance is not too far, but the road is difficult after approaching the mountains and forests, so it is better for us to go on horseback this time, it will be more convenient. I will bring enough people to protect you."

Thinking about shopkeeper Shen's explanation yesterday, Su Zijin was going to go alone early this morning. Vanilla and the others looked weak, and Su Zijin was impatient to go out and take care of others, so she took her Xiaobai and prepared to go out of the city to meet shopkeeper Shen.

"Miss, it's too dangerous for you to go alone, why don't I go with you?"

At the gate of Changfu, Zhang Long looked at Su Zijin who was leading the horse alone, and quickly stopped him and said.

Su Zijin thought for a while, "Guard Zhang can stay in the city, let the monkey come and come with me."

Su Zijin spoke about the monkey, which surprised Zhang Long, and arrived immediately, "Wait a minute, I will come over after changing the monkey's clothes."

Su Zijin saw that Zhang Long understood what he meant and asked the monkey to change his clothes, so he smiled and nodded, "Go, I'll wait for you at the door."

Monkey's surname is Hou, and his name is a different kind among the guards of the Su family.Guards are also the face of a family, so when choosing guards in Jingzhong, the first choice is tall and strong people, and if they are pulled out, people will know that they can't afford to provoke them just by looking at their bodies.But Monkey is just like his nickname. Not only is his figure unusually slender, but he is also not tall. He usually stands boneless, but when there is any disturbance, he is extremely alert.If it is in the army, it is a rare material for scouting. This time when Su Zijin came to Jinguan City, among the guards carefully selected by the Su Mansion, apart from the leader Zhang Long, Monkey was the second selected.

Su Zijin, who was bored waiting for someone, was at the gate of the Changfu, but heard some movement.It was only Yin time, the sky had just dawned, only the lanterns were lit in front of the Chang Mansion, and there was a yawning gatekeeper, who made the noise early in the morning?
Su Zijin looked for his reputation, and it turned out to be the east-west road at the gate of Changfu. He rode from the west. He was wearing a snow-white brocade robe embroidered with silver bamboo leaf patterns in the hazy sky. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he only looked at his body. Xing also knows that he is a handsome scholar and a weak man.

Su Zijin glanced at it without paying too much attention.

But the man who was riding next to the Changfu, at the door of Xue's house, was at the stable stall of this person. The side door of Xue's house opened with a creak, and walked out of the Miss Xue's family whom I met yesterday and a man, it should be Xue. Two brothers and sisters.

Xue Baozhu's expectant and shy expression was caught by Su Zijin who was on the side, and the two smiled awkwardly.

Su Zijin swore that she was not curious and gossiping, but purely instinctive. She glanced at the source of the voice, who knew that she happened to meet Miss Xue's family.

Today Miss Xue is wearing a begonia red jacket and moon white pleated skirt, bright and delicate, she looks like a flower bone at fifteen or sixteen years old, with the shyness of a young girl, people can't take their eyes away, at least that handsome young man His gaze was always on Xue Baozhu.

Su Zijin smiled politely, ready to look away.She has been busy looking at the account books at Chang's house these days, and has not visited anyone formally, so it is not convenient to say hello.Besides, people made it clear that they didn't want to go out in a big way, so I better not go up to chat and say hello.Su Zijin thought he was considerate, but who knew that it was Miss Xue who approached Su Zijin openly.

"Sister Zijin is also going to offer incense outside the city?"

Su Zijin couldn't pretend he didn't see it, so he turned around and faced the people in front of him.

"Morning Miss Xue, I'm going to inspect the tea garden outside the city later."

Xue Baozhu looked interested, "Sister Zijin can just call me Baozhu. Although our two families are not related by relatives, we have been neighbors for many years and are very close."

As she spoke, she walked over and stood in front of Su Zijin, "I didn't expect that sister Zijin could manage the family business at such a young age. It's really amazing. Unlike me, at this age, I can only embroider at home and even go out of the city to burn incense." You must accompany your brother."

"Brother, this is the granddaughter of the old man of the Chang family, Miss Su Zijin. Miss Su, this is my elder brother Xue Zhaofeng, and that is my elder brother's classmate, a student of Qingcheng Academy, Wang Chujun, Mr. Wang."

When talking about Wang Chujun, Xue Baozhu's voice was obviously a lot shy, and after meeting Wang Gongzi's eyes, he staggered to look at Su Zijin who was beside him.

Miss Xue's simple and warm greeting, Su Zijin deserves to greet them patiently.Fortunately, none of the three of them had the nature of chatting with Miss Baozhu, and they just nodded lightly to see each other.

"Miss, Chief Zhang said you were looking for me."

Hou Yi appeared suddenly and relieved Su Zijin of his embarrassment. Su Zijin nodded immediately, "Yes, today I made an appointment with shopkeeper Shen to go to the tea garden outside the city, and you will come with me."

Su Zijin looked at Xue Baozhu who was beside him with wide eyes, "Miss Baozhu, I still have something to do, so let's take a step first."

Su Zijin led Hou Yi onto the horse and left impatiently.

Xue Zhaofeng looked at the two people who left in a hurry, and looked back at his sister who was a little disappointed, "Miss Su wants to run around for the family business, she is not with us, let's go."

"Brother, don't say that," Xue Baozhu pouted, "Sister Zijin is still so young, and she has to take care of the family business. We can't compare."

"Baozhu can always put himself in others' shoes and be considerate." Wang Chujun looked at Xue Baozhu and said.

Xue Baozhu's face was slightly red, and she lowered her head, "No, I just feel sorry for sister Zijin."

Xue Zhaofeng curled his lips, "The Chang family is a family of merchants and merchants, and their children are weak. This is Su Zijin's fate. My sister doesn't need to worry about it. Let's go, we are late, and we will not be able to catch up with the first injection of incense this month. Don't you still want to buy incense?" Are you praying for your mother?"

"Ah, yes, I almost forgot, brother, let's go, the city gate will open in a while, we must be the first to leave the city!"

Xue Baozhu looked annoyed, and hurried to the carriage, Xue Zhaofeng helped his sister into the carriage, and then accompanied the carriage with classmate Wang Chujun, and headed out of the city.

Su Zijin didn't know that in the eyes of his neighbors, he was the only supporter of the family business. He was a poor little man who came out to run around at a young age. Instead, he took Hou Yi along and galloped all the way. After arriving at the south gate, he waited to go out of the city and meet the shopkeeper Shen outside the city. .

"What's your plan, miss?"

Hou Yi was told by Zhang Long to be careful, and he probably knew in his heart that the miss asked him to come today on purpose, so he took advantage of the waiting time to ask Su Zijin about his plans.

Su Zijin shook his head and said calmly, "We are newcomers, what plans can we have? It's just going with the flow and pushing the boat along with the flow."

Hou Yi nodded, "I see, miss."

The two of them didn't have to wait long before the gates of the city were wide open. They followed the people who got up early in the morning to work to make ends meet, and led the horses to queue out of the city.

Before it was his turn, he heard Xue Zhaofeng coming on horseback, "Open the city gate, we are going out of the city."

Next to the city gate where Su Zijin was queuing up, the city gate that was not easily opened slowly opened for Xue's carriage to get out of the city.

Xue Baozhu lay at the window of the carriage, raised the curtain and looked at the people queuing up beside her. She didn't wave her hands excitedly until she saw Su Zijin, and then followed the Xue family's carriage and disappeared into the doorway.

The gate of the city was closed following the disappearance of Xue's family, but everyone in the queue where Su Zijin was located turned a blind eye to it. They didn't think it was unfair, but they were used to it.

Su Zijin faintly heard the word "Junshou's family" floating, Hou Yi's eyes were sharp and his ears were sharp, and when he heard the discussion, he snorted disdainfully, "It's the sky high and the emperor is far away. A county guard has a really big posture, so what?" But it’s a special city gate for Babaili urgently.”

Su Zijin glanced at Hou Yi, who immediately fell silent.
