Chapter 156 Running away from home
Compared to Liuli's calmness, Dahe and Xiaohe really couldn't calm down. For them, it was a big deal for the girl to run away from home!However, the two of them also wondered how Liuli knew about it, Liuli just said lightly: "My former master was like this, he ran away from home every now and then, I'm used to it."

uh ok.But if the girl is really let go, the master and wife are worried that if they don't say anything, the girl herself will be in danger outside! "Let's go and tell the master and madam." Dahe made a decision, and Xiaohe naturally agreed with both hands. The two of them moved to leave, but they were stopped by Liuli, "Why don't you listen to what the girl said, if you take the risk If you rush to file a complaint, you will ruin the girl's affairs."

This also made sense, Da He and Xiao He looked at each other, and decided to ask their own girls.Su Jin, who was lying on the bed to ensure enough sleep so that she could run at night, was dug out of the closet by her three maids and threw it in front of her.Su Jin was at a loss for words for a while, seeing the three maids staring at her, she smiled, "Why are you looking at me like this?"

"Girl, are you going to run away from marriage?" Liuli guessed what Su Jin was thinking as soon as she said it. In fact, no one in the house knew what was on her mind, but no one ever suspected that she would run away from home because of this matter.

Su Jin also confessed, and simply spread her hands, "Yes, I won't get married. Although I temporarily kicked them out yesterday, they may not come back someday. I just go out for a stroll. Come back in a while."

"Girl, you plan to go out by yourself? Outside is no better than home. It's very dangerous for a single girl like you." Da He worried.

"So I'm going to take Liuli with me." Su Jin turned her eyes to Liuli cheekily. She saved Liuli's life. Naturally, Liuli will follow her wherever she goes, so Liuli nodded without hesitation. "What does the girl need me to prepare?"

"There is no need for anything else, we will not go to the kitchen to ask for snacks, so as not to attract the attention of others, Liuli, you go outside and buy a carriage now, we will use it at night, don't hire a coachman, wait until Suzaku is out Let’s talk about the city, and buy more dry food and pastries to store in the carriage. Oh, yes, Dahe, go get my water canister, and bring me some Biluochun sent by my second brother-in-law. In addition, uh, Xiao He, go to the restaurant to find Jiang Run, and ask him to give me two new clothes that I haven't worn, and I will let my mother make them for him later." After giving the order, she took another leaf she picked up from the yard in her mouth Lying on the bed, looking like doing nothing.

"Girl!" Among the three of them, except Liuli, who took the silver and immediately acted, Dahe and Xiaohe looked at her pleadingly, "Can you please don't leave, if you have anything to discuss with the master and madam, they I love you so much, I won't be willing to force you."

Su Jin raised her legs and sat up, stood up and went to the coffee table in front of the window to hold a teacup, "Are you guilty of saying that? If my mother is not willing to force me, why do you let Zhusan come to hire without telling me? And there must be a letter from Han Yu from my father. They all thought they had kept me in the dark, so they were very proud, and they didn't consider my feelings at all! This time I have to leave home, and It's not entirely because of these, I also envy the second sister who can go around and look around, so I also want to go around."

"Then girl, don't you care about changing the baby? He's still so young, you just have the heart to leave him behind?" Da He used her final trump card, knowing that the girl's weakness was changing, but what she didn't know was that her own girl had already thought about it.

"I don't want to change my life," she added before Dahe and Xiaohe could smile, "but my parents won't treat him badly. After I leave home, I will let the two of you take care of the newborn for a while until I come back, so you can also bring lotus incense and lotus leaves with you, they have not been here for a long time, and the rules have not been learned yet." Liu's purchase this time The little girl is mainly for a few children. After all, there were not many maids in the family before, and the few who served close to her have gradually grown up. Sooner or later, they will be released to marry. Brother Shuo, Lianxiang and Lianye came here to assist Fang's family in taking care of the newborn, and also picked a maid named Lianyi and Lianwen from the family's little maids to serve Xiaoqiao'er.

After she said this, Da He and Xiao He had nothing to say. Even after she left, the tasks of the two maidservants had been arranged. It seemed that it was imperative. The two sisters sighed, I don't know how to persuade them, but I am a little worried, I want to talk to the old lady, and I am afraid that the girl will annoy the two of them, so I am in a state of panic all day long, afraid that if the girl goes out If something happens again, I'm afraid that the master and wife will not be able to get rid of the relationship if they find out.

When Liuli came back in the afternoon, she reported to Su Jin that all the things she ordered had been done, and Su Jin asked her to go back to pack her luggage first, and she didn't have to come out in the afternoon, just rest in her own room. Energized.

When it was time to eat dinner in the evening, Su Jin got up after a day's sleep, put on clean clothes, and took Dahe and Xiaohe to the main courtyard. The family members were all there, and Su Wenshan and Liu Shi were very happy to see her coming. She was happy, thinking that she had figured it out and stopped losing her temper.Brother Shuo hadn't seen Third Sister since Zhuangzi came back, and now when he saw her coming, he grabbed Xiaoqiao'er's hand and wrapped her around, "Sanjie, Liuli hasn't taught me martial arts for a long time, so don't hold on to her all the time. Will she not let go?"

Su Jin pinched his nose and said, "Since you want to learn martial arts, you should seriously ask Dad to invite you a master. Neither Han Yu nor Liuli can teach you wholeheartedly, because they all They have their own things to do.”

Su Wenshan was holding tea to drink, and nodded when he heard this, "What your third sister said is that daddy takes this matter to heart, and tomorrow daddy will ask someone to see if there is any suitable one. people."

Brother Shuo was naturally very happy, he bowed and thanked Su Jin and his father, even Xiao Qiaoer made fun of him, so he scratched his head in embarrassment.

During the meal, Mrs. Liu wisely didn't mention Zhusan and Han Yu's intercession, but only persuaded Su Jin to eat more, give her a chopstick for this dish, and give her another chopstick for that dish.The Su family was originally from the lowest level of common people. Although they are living a better life now, they still don’t like the rules of those big families. They don’t eat or sleep. It’s too dull and boring. When the Su family eats, they can eat Those who speak freely are all from their own family members, who would dislike anyone!

After dinner, Su Jin specially kowtowed to Su Wenshan and Liu Shi, and told Brother Shuo to take good care of his parents, take care of his younger sister and change newborns. What he said made Brother Shuo feel a little baffled, but he didn't think much about it, he just thought It is my sister who is teaching me how to do things.Su Wenshan and Liu Shi were also very surprised. They were at a loss for such a big gift for their daughter. It seemed that the children had never had such a gift except during the New Year. Parents were worried, but they didn't think about it anymore, thinking that it was just their daughter who was sensible.

After coming back from the main courtyard, Su Jin went to see Changsheng first, who had already moved to Mujinyuan to live with her, almost every day as long as she was free, she would stay in Changsheng's room, hugging him and coaxing him, sometimes At night, he was still being coaxed to sleep, and the replacement had already recognized someone, so no one was with him at night except Fang Shi and Su Jin.The change student was already asleep when she went. Sister-in-law Fang sat on the edge of the bed and watched the child while she was doing needlework. It was a pair of small socks, which looked like they were made for the change student.

Sister-in-law Fang is an honest person, and she is sincerely kind to the new student. She probably takes care of him as if she were her own child. Even if she goes home during the Chinese New Year, she won't be like others. She rushed back in a hurry, saying that she missed the child.With such a person taking care of the child, Su Jin felt very relieved, and sometimes even felt a little jealous when she saw that the change was as good as Sister-in-law Fang.

She sat next to Sister Fang and watched the change student for a while, and repeatedly told Sister Fang to take good care of the change student. Sister Fang looked at her with some doubts, and then she smiled and got up and went back to her room.Liuli was already waiting for her there, carrying a small bundle in her hand, as if she was ready to leave at any time, which seemed to be because she often walked outside.Seeing her like that, Su Jin also put away her so-called little parting worries. Anyway, she will be back in two or three months at most, so there is no need to be so hard to part with.

It was getting dark again, and the light rain began to fall again, although it was fine but not heavy.Xiao He still used all kinds of excuses from the kitchen to order all kinds of pastries to put in the food box and asked Liuli to take them with her. She stuffed a cloak in, and both of them were reluctant to part.

Liuli had already climbed over the wall and went out. She drove the carriage and parked it not far from the back door of the Su family, and then knocked on the back door. The person who opened the door saw that it was Liuli, the maid next to the third girl, and hurriedly opened the back door, but she still couldn't help asking. He said: "Why did Miss Liuli come back so late?"

"I went out to do things for our girl. The things the girl ordered don't matter sooner or later. When it's done, it counts."

"It's natural, it's natural." The one who opened the door naturally didn't dare to talk back to the maid next to the girl, so the woman didn't ask any more questions, and let her in.The woman who opened the door muttered a few words and went into the next room to rest, but just before she had time for a cup of tea, she saw Da He who was beside the third girl walking over, "Grandma Wang, did you see the girl next to our girl just now?" Liuli?" Asked as he entered the woman's room, he blocked the window and stood still so that the woman could not see the outside.

Mrs. Wang didn't think much about it, so she said a few words to Dahe. Taking advantage of this time, Su Jin and Liuli, who had already changed into men's clothes, opened the back door and slipped out. Su Jin had the key to the back door, because for a while she She was always busy with her father in the restaurant, and when she came back late, she would go in through the back door, which was closer to her yard, and Liu Shi gave her a key.

Su Jin took Liuli out the back door and got into the carriage. The wind and rain outside were still there, and the light rain had no intention of stopping at all.Su Jin took out a cloak from her own bag and put it on, and took out her cloak from Liuli's bag, opened the cotton curtain in front of her, and put it on her shoulders.Both of their faces were smeared, and they were wearing men's clothing from Jiang Run. Su Jin was just old enough to not develop well, so she looked like a handsome boy, and Liuli was a few years older. It wasn't easy to cover up, so she wrapped several layers of cloth strips around her breasts, and put on a stone blue men's long gown, and she looked like a handsome young man.

The two drove the carriage out of the alley in front of Su's house, and headed straight for the city gate. There were officers and soldiers guarding the city at the gate. When they saw the carriage, they naturally wanted to intercept it. It was forbidden to leave the city at such a late hour.Su Jin unhurriedly took out the token of the Zhu family from his waist, and the officers and soldiers opened the gate to let them go.This kind of token is only owned by the government and the four families of Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju. If something happened to the Ju family, the government took the token. There is the right to distribute tokens, which is also for the convenience of these big shots who have to go out of the city at night to do business.Su Jin's token, uh, is fake, she has seen Zhusan wearing such a token around his waist, and asked him the purpose of the token, and then someone made one, it's not too real, but As long as the inspection is not very strict at night, it can still be fooled.

The rain tended to fall harder and harder, and Su Jin couldn't help regretting why she slipped out at such a time, she should have waited for the rain to stop before leaving.But it's useless to complain about these things now. After leaving Suzaku City, you have to go all the way south, and you have to walk a long way to reach the next town. Isn't it a small town like Suzaku City, just like Qingshi Town.But there are still quite a few villages in the middle. Seeing that the rain was getting heavier, Su Jin discussed with Liuli to find a place to live in the village first, and then leave after the rain stopped tomorrow.

The carriage slowly drove into the village. There is an inn in this village. The name of the village was changed from the yard of his own house. Su Jin didn't dare to go in rashly until he saw some people riding horses and driving the carriage. The people stopped again, and she was relieved, and asked Liuli to lead the carriage to the backyard and tie it up, and then carried their luggage to the room where they lived.

The yard is not small, and it can be seen that it is very clean in the light of the moon. The shopkeeper is a simple and honest middle-aged man, and there are his parents, wife and children at home. Because the yard is on the side of the road, so it is opened like this An inn, usually not many people come, the family still relies on farming for a living.Even the meals served are home-cooked meals, but there are meat, fish, and eggs. Su Jin eats a lot for dinner, so she is not very hungry at the moment, but after running around for several hours, it is cold It was very hot, so I barely ate a few mouthfuls, and drank some hot porridge to warm my body.

The master and the servant were just about to rest when they were full, when they heard a quarrel in the courtyard, Liuli opened half of the window and looked out, but the people who came in before thought the food was not good, the middle-aged man was busy explaining, It is said that these are the best meals here, but those people are not reluctant.Seeing that Su Jin got angry, she wanted to go out and say a few words, but Liuli stopped her, "Miss, did you notice the happy characters on their carriage?"

Su Jin shook her head, she really didn't notice, the key is that she didn't think to observe these, and it was night, the lights were dark, so she didn't pay attention, it seems that she really needs to learn from Liuli in the future, go out, everything You have to be more careful.

"I think this may be because the girl's family is going to marry far away and pass by here. We shouldn't need to intervene. These people will not make things worse." Liuli analyzed, anyway, this is also a happy event, and it is impossible to get along with others on the road Let's do it.

But the two of them really underestimated these people, and they really made a fuss endlessly, but this time the guards didn't need to say anything, it was the maids who came out to yell, because they thought the food was rough, "Our girls are well-clothed and well-fed at home. , even if you don’t have so many delicacies from mountains and seas here, you still have to cook delicious food, how can our girls swallow it if it’s so unpalatable!”

Su Jin looked at them and felt that they couldn't let them go on like this, otherwise they wouldn't have to sleep all night, and they would have to hurry when they got up early tomorrow, so she leaned into Liuli's ear and said something, Liuli opened the door and went out to find the proprietress, saying They can cook by themselves, so instead of letting the people they are arguing with here sleepless, why not just cook this meal for them.

The family was naturally very grateful, so the proprietress took Su Jin and Liuli to the kitchen. Seeing that there were still a lot of fresh vegetables in the kitchen, Su Jin felt more confident and cut and washed vegetables by herself, so that Liuli could easily Liuli’s skill in making dim sum is as good as Su Jin’s. Su Jin’s dim sum is better than Xinqiao, while Liuli has solid basic skills. She said that the general’s mansion used to make The pastry cook was her godmother, and she was forced to learn a little from her godmother.

In half an hour, the food was ready, and the proprietress took her daughter away with the food. When they came back, Liuli told them how long it would take to steam the dim sum in the steamer, and then went back to the house.When passing by the yard, she saw two maids guarding the door of their girls, chatting from time to time, and Su Jin heard them say: "These three girls are too busy, and they don't stop once they enter Beijing. Thinking of a way to chase after Wang Shangshu's son-in-law, but he didn't like it, so he chased and intercepted him. I heard that he told the prince that as long as he married himself, he would bring a generous dowry there. Look, this is a future Can the girl who left the cabinet say something..."

Hearing this, Su Jin couldn't help but bend her lips. This sentence reminded her of a person. She told Lin Sanlang at that time that as long as he married her, he would bring in a generous dowry, haha.

"No, thanks to the wisdom of our wife, she married the third girl to the border town, otherwise the Chu family would lose all face. Our master was reluctant at first, but if anyone in Beijing came to propose marriage, it would be considered a marriage proposal." Some of them are crooked, don't say that the third girl doesn't look down on her, even us maids don't look like that." A maid said with her lips curled up.

Another servant girl also hurriedly talked, "At first, the master shouldn't have said that he felt sorry for his sister, but there is no other way. Alas, the third girl is really capable of tossing around. You said that she was giving directions indiscriminately on the way to get married, but now she is lost." The road turns to such a small village again, she is lucky, and she insists on serving delicious food and drink, look at this yard, look at these people, what delicious food can be made."

The two sighed and chatted endlessly, but Su Jin was keenly surprised when she heard the words "Chu's family" and "Third Miss", and she was shocked, right? Could it be Chu Yuan?
