Chapter 65 The Daughter of Jiangdong (3)

Miss Su lowered her head, thought for a while, and said to Hu as if she had made up her mind: "Since everyone is mortal, I would rather die for my wish than to waste my life in this world and end up in desolation."

Hu asked puzzledly: "Why does Miss Su think that she will die in desolation in the end?" Being born in the Su Mansion has already doomed a life of prosperity and wealth, it is really hard for him to understand why Miss Su has such a pessimistic attitude.

Miss Su said: "Young master lives behind my house. I must have seen a lot of matchmakers and envoys who have come and gone to propose marriage these days. None of these people have seen me. They just heard how beautiful the eldest lady of the Su family is. Jin came to propose marriage. No matter who my father betroths me to in the end, this marriage is nothing more than a transaction of buying beauty with money. Now you can still see me marrying me back home. What if I grow old in the future? Treat me Aging, wouldn't my husband-in-law feel that he gave away gold, silver and jewelry for nothing in exchange for someone else's old jewels? At that time, people will value me? How can it be as lively as it is now? There is no guarantee that I will not be alone in a lonely courtyard die?"

It's really sad to say it, Hu can't help but feel sorry for such a rich lady, the years will pass away after all, what will she have left then?No one knows what will happen in the future, which is why fear exists.

"Since Miss is determined to fulfill this wish, Xiaosheng is willing to accompany her. It's just that it will take three days to go to Nanshan, Jiangxi from now on. Besides, Miss's family rules are very strict, so I'm afraid it won't be possible!"

Seeing that Hu agreed, Miss Su rolled her eyes and said, "Young master, don't worry. Tomorrow is the day when my family will go to the temple to worship. I told my father that I am not feeling well. I will rest at home. After he leaves with his servants, I will take care of you." Then you can go find the son."

"This..." Hu hesitated, "Is it possible?"

"It's feasible!" Miss Su nodded again and again, "I will leave a letter for my father before I leave, please don't worry, I will be back in a few days. I will explain the itinerary to him when I come back. Time... until then..." Miss Su glanced at Hu, lowered her head shyly, and stopped talking, "In short, it will be easy to talk about then."

Hu didn't get the point, so he could only nod his head temporarily: "That's fine."

The wonderful performance on the stage seemed to be all at once, and it was over before the fun was over, but Ms. Su was extremely excited about tomorrow's plan, and she even couldn't wait.

Back in the backyard of Su's house, there was no sound in the yard. It must be that Miss Su's deed of stealing out of the mansion has not been revealed yet.Hu took out a chair from his home and asked Miss Su to step on it and climb over the wall.He raised his head and said to Miss Su: "Miss Su must also be the young lady who can climb walls the most in the world." He smiled, and the moonlight illuminated his face, as if the facial features carved in white jade were displayed in front of Miss Su, and the night was also stained. When the light shines, it becomes clear.

Miss Su supported the courtyard wall with both hands, and looked down at him: "The young master will wait for me here tomorrow."

Hu nodded: "Xiaosheng must prepare the carriage and horses tomorrow, and we will start immediately after the lady comes out."

"It's a word."

Hu watched Miss Su jump over the courtyard wall, and stood for a while, feeling a little cold, wanted to put away the chair and go back to the room to go to sleep, but after another thought, left the chair where it was, and went back to the room alone.

Waking up early in the morning, Hu went out to the market to borrow a carriage, and when he came back, he saw Master Su's team marching past his house.Sure enough, as Miss Su said, there was only one sedan chair in the team.

After a while, Miss Su poked her head out from behind the wall, stepped on the chair Hu left yesterday, jumped down, and ran to Hu's side in three steps at a time: "Master, you really keep your promise."

Hu led the horse, and said with a smile: "Since I promised Miss, how dare Xiaosheng break his promise, let's talk about it on the way."

"Okay," Miss Su said as she got into the car, "I went home last night and was still thinking about what to do if I don't see you today, or if you suddenly say no..."

Hu also got into the car, drove the horses forward, and asked with a smile, "Miss, you don't trust Xiaosheng so much?"

Miss Su hurriedly explained: "I really can't believe it. One day, someone will take me to meet the gods and fulfill my wish. To tell you the truth, I returned home last night and dared not close my eyes all night. I'm afraid that when I wake up, I will find that it was just a dream, everything has disappeared, and the young master is nowhere to be found."

"Why, I live behind the lady's house."

"I'm really afraid that when I wake up and go out to have a look, people outside will say that there is no such person as Young Master."

"Why?"

"I don't know, and I can't say it clearly." Miss Su shook her head, as if sighing, "I always feel that you are not real."

"Why is that?"

"My son is like a messenger sent by a fairy to take me to realize my wish."

Hu was laughed at by Ms. Su: "Xiaosheng is really honored."

Miss Su was in the car, looked at Hu's back, smiled slightly, and bowed her head in silence.

According to Hu's arrangement, they just walked to the riverside at night, found an inn, and asked for two upper rooms.The boat and the car were exhausted, and the two fell asleep after saying good night to each other, and there was no dream all night.The next day the rain stopped, and they crossed the river by boat, which was another day's journey.The wind and waves on the river were rough, and Miss Su was shaken dizzy and dizzy, and she vomited continuously. When she got off the boat, she was already weak and her legs were weak. Hu still carried her off the boat and found an inn to stay temporarily.

After taking the medicine prescribed by the doctor, Miss Su slept until dawn, and finally woke up in the sunlight shining in from the window.

The sunlight made her unable to see clearly for a while, but she vaguely remembered that Hu Gongzi took care of herself very late last night, and fell asleep on the tea table when she was so sleepy.He blocked the light with his hand, looked around, but did not see Hu's figure.

She sat up, looked through the empty room, and was sure that Hu was not here, she couldn't help panicking.She got out of bed and pushed open the door, walked to Hu's door, hesitated again and again, raised her hand and knocked gently on the door.

After a long time, no one opened the door. Hu must not be inside, but she still stood in front of the door, as if she must wait until the door was opened.

There was the sound of footsteps walking upstairs, the waiter was holding a basin of hot water, and seeing Ms. Su grinning: "Miss, are you awake?"

Miss Su looked at him suspiciously, and his tone seemed to be waiting for her to wake up.

"Mr. Hu has something to go out. Before he left, he asked the younger one to take care of the girl. When he left, the girl was still sleeping, and the younger one didn't want to disturb him. He just counted the time below. It is estimated that the girl should wake up at this time. , I brought the water to the girl along the way. The girl went back to the room to wash first, and then went downstairs to eat something, and he will probably come back after eating. "

The shop waiter walked into Miss Su's guest room while she was talking, and Miss Su followed and asked, "Did he say what he was doing?"

"No," the shop clerk shook his head, put down the water, turned around and said to Miss Su, "but I guess he is going to visit the grave. He is a well-known filial son in the city. He has walked for so long without making a sound. He will definitely come back." I have to burn incense on my parents' grave."

"Oh..." Miss Su responded, and wanted to continue asking, but saw that the waiter had already bowed and retreated, so she didn't open her mouth.

After washing, Ms. Su went downstairs. The waiter had already arranged a table and led her there, and then greeted her to serve the food.In the morning, there were not many people in the inn, and all the dishes were served in a short while. Ms. Su was not interested in looking at the dishes on the table by herself, so she put down her chopsticks after picking up two green vegetables.

The shop waiter who had been busy at the side saw her and asked, "Why doesn't the girl eat? If the food is not to your liking, just tell me, and I will ask the kitchen to change another table for you."

"No, I'm not hungry yet, I don't want to eat."

"That can't be done. Mr. Hu explained everything when he left. The girl was bumpy on the boat all day, and she didn't eat anything when she came here last night. How can she not eat this morning?"

Miss Su frowned, glanced sullenly at the waiter, and muttered in a low voice: "He has already explained everything, but he didn't tell when he will come back."

The waiter laughed when he heard that, and wiped the table while saying, "Girl, don't worry, his parents are buried at the foot of Nanshan Mountain, and it will take a long time to go out of the city and come back."

Hearing the word "Nanshan", Ms. Su was even more puzzled: "Didn't we agree to go up the mountain together? Why did he go first?" It was the first time for her to travel far away from home. It is inevitable to feel panic, feel that the surroundings are not safe, and become more and more anxious.

"Are you going to Nanshan?" The waiter looked at her with wide eyes.

Miss Su looked up impatiently: "What?"

The waiter in the shop suddenly became sneaky, and went up to Ms. Su and said, "The girl doesn't look like a local, and she doesn't know the local taboos. The Nanshan Mountain is very evil. If the girl wants to go over the mountain and go to the county behind, Xiao I advise the girl to take a detour. If there is no urgent matter, it is better to go back, not to scare the girl, Nanshan is really impossible."

Ms. Su said in her heart: I still have to go to Nanshan for something important.She moved to the side, avoiding the shop waiter who posted over, and asked, "Why can't I go?"

The waiter lowered his voice even more, and said softly, "There is a fox demon on that mountain."

"I've heard the legend that the two fox demons were trapped on the top of the mountain by the gods, and they can't go down the mountain forever."
