After moving out of the residence, he took his whole family to escape the famine

Chapter 7 Dip in brown sugar

There are many stores in Yuncheng.

There are ready-made clothing shops, jewelry shops, pastry shops, restaurants, iron shops and medicine halls, etc.

Su Nanxing visited them one by one.

I went to all the places I could go.

She didn't just take things, but also left an extremely generous amount of silver to the shopkeeper. Anyway, she was not short of money.

At present, she has no worries about food and clothing.

Moreover, she also received a nice long knife at the blacksmith shop. She used to use machetes in her previous life. Although the sword is light, it requires skill.

It's not as good as a knife. Although it's heavy, it's better because it can easily cut a bone into two halves.

But after collecting them all, she heard the system calmly say: "The current progress is 20%."

Su Nanxing rarely put on a sad look. She stood on the porch in front of the medicine hall, looking at the heavy rain that never stopped.

It has been raining for seven days and seven nights.

When a disaster strikes, the rain will not stop, and low areas will be flooded. The fields, cattle and sheep will not be able to escape.

The way forward may also be blocked by flash floods.

If she cannot open the planting space early and maintain self-sufficiency, she is likely to run out of food.

Having experienced the apocalypse once, she didn't want to do it again.

It seemed that Yuncheng couldn't stay any longer.

After making the decision, Su Nanxing went to Caifang Pavilion.

Caifang Pavilion is located in a quiet alley in Yuncheng East City. If Su Nanxing hadn't conducted a city-wide search, she might not have been able to see it.

Two dim red lanterns were lit in front of the door.

The door was not closed tightly, leaving a small crack.

Su Nanxing did not push away rashly, but stepped forward and knocked on the door.

After a while, footsteps came from inside.

A tall and thin man opened the door and said with sleepy eyes: "Does the guest want a room? Now there is only one superior room left in the store, which costs 20 taels of silver per night."

Su Nanxing was stunned. It was just an ordinary inn?

"No, I'm here to get some information."

But I saw the man changed his sleepy look and said respectfully: "Your honor invites me."

"I see that the guest officer is unfamiliar, but is this your first time here?"

He introduced Su Nanxing into a private room at the back of the courtyard.

"Yes."

"An ordinary message is worth 5 taels of silver, and a special message is worth 5000 taels of silver."

“What is ordinary and what is special?”

Su Nanxing asked while sitting on the chair.

The price gap was so huge that she almost thought she had heard wrong.

The man poured tea for her.

"It depends on what the guest officer wants to ask. The special message is that as long as the guest officer has questions, we are sure to find the result."

"I want to know what is going on in the court now and whether General Su Yuzhu is in the prison." Su Nanxing said bluntly.

"The guest needs to pay a deposit of one tael of silver first, and we will not know until tomorrow's Mao hour."

"Okay." She handed over the money readily.

Su Nanxing picked up the umbrella and returned to the inn.

I have to leave tomorrow morning after going to Caifang Pavilion.

She went to no less than a dozen stores tonight.

Even if these shopkeepers have no losses, if so many things disappear overnight, they will definitely report it to the official.

As soon as she arrived at the door of the room, she heard Su's mother's anxious voice coming from inside.

"You're such a stubborn kid. I told you not to look for it, but you still went. Now you're soaked. Fortunately, you still know the way back. I'm really worried about you..."

Su Nanxing opened the door and walked in quickly.

"Mother, what happened?"

Mother Su scolded Gu Huaishu while getting dry clothes.

Seeing Su Nanxing coming back, he said: "Nanxing, you are finally back."

She told Su Nanxing what happened just now.

Su Nanxing looked stunned.

Does Gu Huaishu really like the original owner that much?

He has been very good to the original owner since the first meeting, both before and now.

Never leave the original owner for a moment.On the wedding night too...

But running around was really bad, so she joined Su's mother in scolding Gu Huaishu.

Finally, when Gu Huaishu was told that he was wronged, his head was lowered and his lips were pursed, and Su Nanxing stopped talking.

She suddenly realized how she could be impatient.

"...I'll take you with me next time."

Her voice just fell.

Gu Huaishu raised a smiling face without any sadness.

He was already lying on the bed, waiting for Su Nanxing to come up and sleep.

Seeing that Su Nanxing didn't come up, he called out in a low voice: "Madam, why aren't you sleeping yet?"

He had a good-looking face, and even his voice was full of charm. Su Nanxing couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

Sure enough, it was the right choice to take the other person with him.

He looks good, just by looking at him.

The depressed mood will be relieved by half.

The next morning.

Su Nanxing woke up in a warm embrace.

Didn't she remember that she and Gu Huaishu were sleeping in the same bed last night?
When he turned around again, he saw that his quilt had fallen to the ground, and he had slipped into Gu Huaishu's bed.

Su Nanxing didn't take this matter too seriously.

Maybe it rains every day and the weather is too cold, so I feel like this.

She got up quietly and went downstairs to ask the waiter to bring water and food for washing, while she ate in the hall first.

While eating, she heard people discussing around her.

"Something strange happened last night!"

"what?"

"There are dozens of stores in the city with items missing."

"You must have caught someone for stealing with such a big noise, right?"

"No, the blame lies here. Things are missing, but a pretty generous reward was left behind. The government sent a large number of people to investigate."

"I've also heard about this. A group of refugees came to Dingcheng. Now the government suspects that they did it and is investigating!"

……

Su Nanxing was afraid that Su's mother would not know the way, and she did not want to run back and forth. Dongshi happened to be close to the east city gate where she left, so she took them with her.

There are far fewer pedestrians on the streets today.

All the way to East Street everything went smoothly.

Su Nanxing also got the news as he wished.

The man smiled and said, "Sir, it's time to pay the remaining deposit."

She put the remaining four taels of silver on the table.

After the man took it away, he said: "There is currently an undercurrent in the court. The old emperor intends to appoint the third prince as his heir. However, the third prince's mother and concubine are women of the common people, and the eldest prince is the eldest son of the queen, so most of the officials recommend him. Before General Su, I made it clear in the court."

"I heard that the emperor is secretly sending a large number of people to look for things, but I don't know what they are looking for."

"it is good."

"But we have rumors that we saw General Su heading north."

"Oh?"

This was unexpected by Su Nanxing.

She originally thought that based on how much her father loved her mother, he would definitely come back to them as soon as possible.

When he goes to Northern Xinjiang, is he also going to find the Su family army?

Before leaving, Su Nanxing suddenly took out a thousand-tael silver note and said, "I'll pay a deposit first and ask you to help me keep an eye on General Su's whereabouts. I will come to Caifang Pavilion to inquire next time."

The man's face showed surprise, "Sir, this is impossible."

"Why?" Su Nanxing asked confused.

The man refused, "We don't know the specific whereabouts of General Su yet. When there is news in the future, it won't be too late for you to pay it. You can keep the banknote for now."

"Ok."

Su Nanxing didn't bother much and left Caifang Pavilion, still thinking that the other party looked like a really good person!

She left at the end of the alley, and Su's mother was waiting for her at the end of the alley.

But before she got closer, she heard a familiar voice.

"Sister-in-law, it's you! Why have you turned into such a ghost? Where is Su Nanxing? Why isn't she by your side? Is she dead?!"

"Sister-in-law! Don't be silent. I have been with your sister-in-law for decades. Even if you change your appearance, I can still recognize you from your body shape!"
