Chapter 102 Meeting Yueyang City

After the manager finished, Su Yanyan looked at Mr. Xun, "Uncle Xun, what do you think?"

Mr. Xun smiled and said: "I think of it, this Mr. Xia wrote a great article in Sishui Prefecture on the concubine's concubine's family visit. His words are penetrating, and his courage to see the overall situation has been fully revealed."

Su Yanyan nodded, "I've also read that article, and it really gave me a lot of inspiration. I didn't expect that he didn't open his mouth to talk about benevolent education and good governance. Instead, he divided the entire local governance into political affairs, wealth, warfare, and rituals, and then explained each of them. Although this theory is new, it makes sense after careful consideration."

"Although Xia Jingyun's ability is unquestionable, I'm still very surprised that he can make Su Yuanshang pay so much attention to him and talk to him about it at night."

Su Yanyan slightly opened her beautiful eyes, and she was puzzled, "Why?"

Mr. Xun said with a smile: "There are indeed such geniuses in this world. It is said that they can know the world's affairs without leaving the mountain, but these people tend to focus on the overall situation, such as planning the development of the world situation, such as formulating the important policies of a country, because these things can indeed be read from books."

"But Su Yuanshang is a local official. I have also had contact with him. He is a person with rich experience in governance. It is difficult for him to be willing to talk with him for such a long time with some big talk."

Su Yanyan was a little surprised and said: "Uncle Xun, what you mean is that this Mr. Xia not only has a vision and ideas from a high place, but also has many detailed political opinions?"

"It should be so." Mr. Xun smiled, "But it's okay, I will send someone to send a post later, and Su Yuanshang will naturally come to visit, and we will just ask about it."

Su Yanyan hummed, and said with a smile: "If that's the case, this Mr. Xia is not a person who only knows about romance, but a talent for governing the world."

"Nine times out of ten, it can't be because of Baiyunbian that this long talk is?"

"Hehe, that's true."

Su Yanyan thought of those rumors by Baiyun, and couldn't help but smile, "In that case, I'll trouble Uncle Xun to make arrangements. I'll go down and have a rest. Uncle Xun will send someone to call me."

"Miss, please go."

Su Yanyan walked towards his temporary residence. The maid, Tingxue, had already made the bed, set up the utensils, and tidied up. Seeing her coming back, she waited on her to freshen up a bit to tidy up the fatigue from the journey.

Before he had rested for a long time, Mr. Xun came in a hurry, knocked on the door and walked in, looking at her seriously, "Miss, something happened."

Su Yanyan is worthy of being the apple of the eye brought up by the old man at the beginning, and his demeanor is very human. Hearing the words, he calmly poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. Then his expression became condensed, "Uncle Xun, what happened?"

After being interrupted by this, Mr. Xun also calmed down a bit, "Just now I sent someone to the government office, and was told that Su Yuanshang had gone to the state city for business. Then I received a letter from the family."

"The Luo Su family we met in Zigui County that day was actually Su Yuanshang's direct sister. Su Yuanshang took the risk and rescued her from the death row, but leaked the news. Now it has been known by the state supervisory censor, and the state shepherd personally ordered her to be imprisoned pending trial."

"The clan has already discussed the result, and will not try to keep him, and will try to push someone else to take over the position of Qingshan county guard."

After hearing this, Su Yanyan also opened her small mouth slightly, with a look of astonishment on her face.

There is such a coincidence?

Mr. Xun sighed, "Personally speaking, Su Yuan still cares about blood and family and is willing to take risks for it. He is certainly a man of love and righteousness, but as the prefect of a county, now that the clan is declining, he assumes such an important position. It is too stupid to act like this!"

Su Yanyan frowned slightly, "Tell me, could it be that Mr. Xia's handwriting?"

Mr. Xun was taken aback for a moment, and then raised his eyebrows. Not to mention, it was a bit of a coincidence.

It was he who sent that Luo Su family to the prison, and then the other party came to Qingshan County to meet Su Yuanshang.

"No." Su Yanyan shook his head again to deny what he had just thought, "We had inquired at the beginning, and Mr. Xia was in Zigui County just at the right time. He couldn't control Luo Su's going to court, let alone Su Yuanshang's choice. I should have maliciously speculated."

"It's just a coincidence, it's normal for the young miss to have doubts." Mr. Xun sighed, "Assuming it's as bold as possible, I'll collect information from various sources and see if I can find any clues from it!"

"Then." He looked at Su Yanyan, "Miss, then let's take a rest in Qingshan County, see the local customs, and continue to leave tomorrow?"

Su Yanyan frowned lightly, "Let's start tomorrow morning, cut down a few places along the way, go home as soon as possible, this is too coincidental, I always feel something is wrong."

Mr. Xun immediately nodded seriously, "Yes!"
-
In the following days, Xia Jingyun and Bai Yunbian traveled all the way, but did not encounter too many stories.

In Yunmeng State, which is rich in water and soil, Xia Jingyun has lived all the way, the people's livelihood is withered, and the economy is withered, which is exactly the same as the misery in Sishui State, and it makes people feel heavy.

From the point of view of Tian Huanggui and Huang Zi Gongqing who lived in the temple, although it is wrong to say that people are like grass, it is also somewhat fallacious.

But even if it is grass mustard, there is still a world of difference between the plump and strong green grass and the dry and yellow weeds.

When a fire falls into the green grass, it will be slowly exhausted by these tenacious grasses, and the peace is still there;
But under the withered and yellow eyes, perhaps only a little spark is needed to create a prairie fire.

This world is like a round of scorching sun, bit by bit scorching these mustards, squeezing out the water in them bit by bit, pushing the world into the abyss full of withered yellow.

All the squeezed water flowed into the high-rise courtyards, and Xia Jingyun was filled with emotion when he saw it.

At night after seven or eight days, Xia Jingyun stopped at a place called Huarong County.

"Passing through this county, Yueyang City is ahead."

Bai Yun stood by the window of the inn, looking into the distance, with endless emotions in his words.

Xia Jingyun said: "Don't say it so sentimentally, we are not going to be separated after crossing Yueyang City."

Bai Yun turned his head and gave him a blank look, Xia Jingyun was so happy in his heart, showing a gossip smile, "Admiration for Miss Su Family?"

Looking at Yueyang from a distance, Bai Yunbian slowly recited, "Fengxi bends down to express love, Huangxi blinds the real person."

You are still bowing down. Xia Jingyun translated: "It means that you have pursued others, but they ignored you?"

Bai Yun turned his head and glared.

Xia Jingyun hurriedly cupped his hands, "What kind of person is this young miss of the Su family?"

Bai Yunbian nodded slightly, "She's not bad."

Xia Jingyun:.
Is this the new Puxin Quotations?
"Of course I know he's a nice guy. I mean, what's his appearance, what's his personality, what's unique about him."

Bai Yunbian seemed to have never heard of it.

Xia Jingyun turned his body slightly, looked at Bai Yunbian's side face, "Have you never seen it before?"

"Tired, rest!"

Young Master Bai became furious from embarrassment, and left in a huff.

Xia Jingyun covered his stomach and laughed for a long time before lying lazily on the bed, looking at the wooden beams and tiles of the roof, and muttering to himself.

"Yueyang Su's family, Mr. Su, the Pearl of Dongting"

While Xia Jingyun and his party were resting in the inn, a team went straight through Huarong County, and went to Yueyang City overnight under the respectful and regretful watch of the Huarong County Magistrate.

Not far from Huarong County, a 200-man cavalry team greeted them.

After a while of respectful greetings, he joined the team and silently took on the heavy responsibility of guarding.

One after another, the torches gathered into a fire dragon and swam towards Sujiawu.

And at the Sujiawu at this moment, the four brothers from the direct line got together again.

It is still a situation where the three legs stand together and one person joins in the fun.

The Patriarch of the Su family looked at the handsome man on the left, "Second brother, we have to discuss something at night."

The second child hurriedly said: "Brother, third child, the brother-in-law of the fourth child has agreed to come to Qingshan County, and is willing to stabilize the relationship with Qingshan County for us. The operation of our side has also begun to take shape, and the problem is not big. But there is one thing, shouldn't our Su family also express it?"

The boss frowned, "What do you mean?"

"The prefect of Qingshan County is still ours, and we can continue to maintain many businesses in the county, but he helps us with so many things, we can't just let the horse run away and not give it to the horse, right?"

The third child had some ominous premonitions in his heart, and he was impatient, "Second brother just speak up!"

"Hey! I mean, what Su Yuan still had before, we have to give to others."

The boss nodded slowly, "This is what it should be, even if it is a relative of your own, it has to be beneficial. Then what do you say, the second?"

The second child glanced at the third child, "I mean, just turn over all the things that Su Yuanshang was originally holding, so as to show our attitude, and then the fourth child will add one or two extra Zhuangzi, a few shops."

"No!" Before the boss could speak, the third child immediately objected, "Most of what Su Yuanshang is holding belongs to me, why should I take it out? He belongs to the fourth child, so if he wants to take it, it must be the fourth child's or you can take it!"

He didn't feel anything about handing over the position of prefect before, but when his wife reminded him, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was wrong, and he was naturally unwilling to take his property now.

The fourth child shrank his neck and didn't dare to say anything.

The second child said: "The third child, what are you talking about, what are mine and yours? Don't we all belong to the family? This Qingshan County is stable, and our Su family will not suffer a big loss! And we took your things because they were managed by Su Yuanshang before. This is convenient and appropriate, and we can also feel our sincerity!"

The third child had a cold face, "Then it would be more sincere for you to take your property directly, anyway, he is also yours! When Su Yuanshang was the governor of Qingshan County, I didn't ask you to get any rewards!"

"Okay!" The boss said majesticly, and stopped the quarrel.

"What kind of words are you talking about? Can a little extra money make brothers fight against each other? Do you still have the bearing of the Su family? How did father teach us back then!"

After cursing the two brothers into silence, he took a deep breath, "Third brother, do as the second brother said. For the things you handed over, count a list and ledger, and the family property will be made up for you."

"Second brother, get things done. The clan is so cooperative in this matter. If you mess up, your second wife must give me an explanation to the clan elders!"

With this disposition, it was the head of the family who spoke again, so the two brothers naturally had no objections, so they had to agree.

"Report!"

"Patriarch, the second master, the third master, the fourth master, and the eldest lady have already arrived ten miles away from the dock!"

The boss stood up happily, "That's all for tonight, let's go!"

After finishing speaking, he hurried out of the room, preparing to call his wives and concubines to meet his precious daughter.

The second child and the third child looked at each other, moved away awkwardly, and each stepped out of the lobby.

The fourth child quickly followed behind the second child.

In the luxurious hall, no one sits in charge anymore.
