After dressing up as the wife of the hero of the imperial examination, I ran away

But the reason why Su Xiaomu was willing to let go was not because he was annoying him to keep chattering here.

Rather, deep down in his heart, he could not bear Gu Jingcheng.

Even if she has the kindness of a woman, she has a soft heart.

After all, Su Xiaomu couldn't see that he had studied hard for more than ten years, put in such a huge effort, and was finally sacrificed because of his children's affair.

Even if the two of them had to separate and were destined not to be together, Su Xiaomu was definitely a very qualified ex-wife. I hope he can have a bright future and stay in the court as his official.

After thinking about everything clearly, Su Xiaomu didn't find Zhou Lin so hideous anymore.

"Then let's hit the road immediately!"

Zhou Lin received Su Xiaomu's nod, and his eyes lit up instantly.

"I still have some things to explain. You came suddenly, and I haven't solved many things yet."

She now has three shops under her control, and it takes a lot of effort to manage each one.

It might take several months to go to the capital, so Su Xiaomu must make complete preparations for all the jobs under his hands.

You can't miss her plan to make money just because you save someone!

So Zhou Lin was like a follower this day, with his extremely ugly face, running around with Su Xiaomu in Fucheng.

Su Xiaomu asked him for the address of their permanent residence in the capital, and told Shilan Shizhu that they would write to her about the business situation of the dessert shop, Zhumeng Xiaozhu and Xiyue Pavilion every half a month.

And temporarily entrusted the newly opened Xiyue Pavilion to Luo Yi and Chen Anning to take care of them.

After everything was ready, Su Xiaomu and Zhou Lin hurried to the capital.

Along the way, Su Xiaomu had almost no rest. He was on the road in the morning and in the evening.

If it weren't for the fact that there are so many students rushing to take the exam these days, and there are officers and soldiers patrolling the post stations on the official road, Su Xiaomu really wouldn't dare to follow Zhou Lin on a horse race day and night.

That's right, Su Xiaomu didn't even sit in a carriage, and the winter wind was biting, so she tied two cloaks around her body so that her beautiful face would not be blown away by the wind.

Of course, besides hurrying, Su Xiaomu didn't forget to ask Zhou Linlin Yuemei, that is, about the family of Xingyue Princess.

This time they mainly went to find trouble with Lin Yuemei, the so-called know yourself and your enemy, Su Xiaomu has to find a way to find out Lin Yuemei's identity, who her parents are, how big is her backer, and who can solve this backer?

"You are doing business in Fucheng. I believe you should have heard of the Lin family, right? The Lin family in Fucheng and the Lin family in Beijing can be regarded as the same family, but Fucheng is the ancestral land. Although the people in Beijing are also descended from the same line, their status is still not close."

"This Princess Xingyue was born noble. She is fearless in the capital. All the noble ladies of the aristocratic family look up to her, but she is extremely afraid of his uncle, who is now the chief assistant of the cabinet."

Zhou Lin wanted to save Gu Jingcheng, and before he came to Su Xiaomu, he had already investigated Xingyue Princess Lin Yuemei thoroughly in the capital.

"The chief minister of the cabinet grew up with His Majesty today. When he was young, he had a close relationship with His Majesty in the palace. Now he works in the court and is deeply trusted by His Majesty. He is serious and upright. Your Majesty must avoid his sharp edge, so if we start with this uncle, the Princess will not dare to offend him no matter what."

Zhou Lin stared at the fire in front of him earnestly. He kept flipping the grilled fish in his hand, but he didn't have any desire to eat: "If you don't want to go to the Yamen to sue the princess, then we can only find another way, maybe you can Start with this uncle."

"What about the others? For example, does this uncle have any weaknesses?"

Su Xiaomu was almost full from the cold, and the wind whistling past her ears was blowing. She tried her best to close her cloak tightly to prevent any wind from entering.

There was a fire, but Su Xiaomu was still a little cold.

"Not yet." Zhou Lin was lonely, "But I will inquire after entering Beijing. We just need to settle this matter before the imperial examination, so that Jingcheng can take the exam as scheduled."

"Then what about you?" Su Xiaomu asked Zhou Lin back, "You also want to participate in Chunwei, and you are not as good at reading as Gu Jingcheng, so why don't you read books yourself in the rest of the day?"

"I didn't have any hope for Chunwei this time. If it wasn't for the quarrel between the two of you, and no one accompanied Jingcheng to the exam, maybe I wouldn't have taken the exam."

Zhou Linyu was grilled, but he didn't want to eat it, nor did he want to feed Su Xiaomu.

He casually threw the grilled fish on the nearby grass, and his words became more meaningful: "If you were in the capital back then, let the princess see that Jingcheng has a wife, maybe he would be fine."

"This is really strange." Su Xiaomu understood the meaning of his complaints, "You don't want to blame me for everything now, do you? Have you forgotten when the princess fell in love with Gu Jingcheng? What? In Fucheng a few months ago, I wasn't the one who asked him to meet Lin Yuemei."

Su Xiaomu was too lazy to continue wasting words with Zhou Lin, Zhou Lin who lost Gu Jingcheng was like a fish out of water, always looking for someone to go crazy before he died.

She closed her eyes and didn't speak, since she wasn't hungry anyway, she might as well sleep soundly.

The two of them traveled day and night, and finally cut the time to go to the capital in half.

I was so tired on the road that I was dying, but I couldn't get anxious after arriving in the capital.

Zhou Lin spent money to inquire about the news, and Su Xiaomu went to her and Boss Zhang's dim sum shop to check the books.

This is already a habit of hers. Whenever she goes to a store she hasn't been to for a long time, the first thing to do is to check the account.

This dim sum shop just opened after the Chinese New Year, and it hasn't been open for long in the capital.

However, although the business hours are short, the income is still very considerable.

After reading the ledger, Su Xiaomu asked them some more things. She and Zhou Lin worked together without disturbing each other.

Zhou Lin doesn't have many connections in the capital. Although he has a lot of money, not every sum of money he spends has a response in the end. Many people shake their heads when they hear that he is inquiring about Lin Yuemei. talkative.

He couldn't investigate anything, and when he was at a loss, he didn't know what to do next.

Inn.

Zhou Lin was in no mood to eat, he even found it difficult to swallow the porridge in front of him.

"You might as well take a good look at your face in the mirror, saying that you are pale and bloodless is to save face for you. It has only been a few days, and you have lost a lot of weight than before, and your cheeks are so thin that they are sunken. You look like a half-dead The appearance always appears in front of others, who you say is willing to talk to you and do business with you."

Su Xiaomu grabbed a large pancake and put it in front of Zhou Lin, and prepared another plate of porridge for him.

Coax Zhou Lin to eat like coaxing a child: "You have to run news later, are you sure you are going to starve yourself to death now?"
