pastoral wedding

Chapter 164
Su Jin spent two days at Chu's house; she said that she was lazy because she had no business to worry about during the two days. She could clear her mind and not think about anything. She just followed her second sister to go shopping and watch fashion. Cloths, jewelry with fresh patterns, and flowers that bloom in summer that Suzaku City does not have.

At noon on the third day, while eating, someone sent by Chu Luo sent news: General Lu had included a memorial to Lord Chen Guogong when he went to court today, saying that he harbored evil intentions, liaised with foreign enemies, and condoned his subordinates to bully the people , Robbing civilian women and so on a series of crimes.Hearing that the Holy Majesty was furious after reading the memorial, he recruited General Lu for a secret talk all morning, but when General Lu returned home, he was still frowning.

Su Jin was amazed by Chu Luo's information channel, could it be that he has the ability to reach the sky with his hands and eyes?Such news can also be obtained in such a timely manner.If a talent like him goes to the officialdom, he will definitely climb up very quickly. Unfortunately, I heard from my second sister that there was one of the ancestors of the Chu family who was an official, and he was a high-ranking official, but he was framed and dismissed from office. Died of depression. Before he died, he revised the ancestral precepts. No matter how talented or dedicated to serve the country, the next generation is not allowed to step into the officialdom.

"Actually, the current Holy Majesty is not unaware of what Chen Geng's lineage has done in the past two years, but firstly, there is not enough evidence; secondly, Chen Guogong Chen Geng's followers are all over the court, and the current Holy Majesty has not yet secured the throne. He is soft-tempered and doesn't know how to come up with some policies, he only knows how to be patient. However, General Lu's memorial this time made him take it seriously. After all, this is not a small matter, collaborating with the enemy and treason! A careless Majesty Your throne is in danger of being lost!" Chu Luo analyzed with a sigh.

Hearing what he said, Su Jin held her chin and thought for a while, and said, "Didn't it mean that the Holy Majesty has eight younger brothers? Could it be that none of them is capable and worthy of a great position?"

Chu Luo glanced at her, then smiled sarcastically, "Of course there are, and the one headed by the third prince is the most troublesome. The third prince's biological mother is Concubine Qin. Seriously, it's a pity that the more favored you are, the more you will be envied by others. No, the late emperor is gone, and the imperial concubine Qin died of illness somehow. We don’t know what, there are so many secrets in the palace.” Chu Luo sighed after finishing speaking, and brought the blue and white porcelain teacup to his mouth, but he was not in a hurry to drink, and continued: “The third prince He is a talented person, neither indecisive like the current emperor, nor sinister like the second prince, on the contrary, he is a gentle and elegant scholar-like character, who laughs when he sees people, and never deliberately puts on the airs of his master, but if he is bullied to the top , but that method is cold-blooded and cruel, so this third prince is an elusive person, and it is best not to provoke such a person." After saying this, he drank the steaming hot tea in the teacup.

"Since the Third Prince is more suitable for the throne than the First Prince, I think those who are courtiers should put the country first and support the Third Prince. I think people like him must be more capable than the First Prince and can manage our Great Prince well." Xingguo." Su Jin clenched her fists and said.

Chu Luo smiled and looked at Su Shuang, who was sitting on the side watching the maids doing needlework, and said, "You see, our third younger sister also has such ambitions." After speaking, she turned to look at Su Jin, her face full of jokes , "It's a pity that you are a woman. If you were a man, the third prince will definitely take you under his wing. Haha, you can realize your ambition. When the time comes to be an official butcher, don't forget me and your second sister." It is."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Jin kicked him, and he couldn't dodge in time to be kicked straight, but Su Jin used a lot of strength, and he grinned in pain.

Su Jin snorted and stood up, pinching her waist and staring at him, "Although you are my second brother-in-law now, don't forget that I will help you marry my second sister. If you dare to bully me again, I will Take my second sister back to Suzaku City!" After speaking, she saw Yue Ya'er coming in, and walked over to hold her in her arms and asked, "Does Yue Ya'er want to stay in the capital with your father? Or do you want to follow me and you?" Mother going back to Suzaku City?"

"Do you want to go back to Zhuque City?" Yue Ya'er was very happy when she heard that, and jumped up with a smile, "I want to go back with my third sister, you and my mother, I don't want to follow my father, he doesn't care about me! "

Hearing that Su Jin was not very happy, she just gave Chu Luo a hard look, as if you saw it, I can take your wife and daughter away at any time.Chu Luo touched his nose, put down the tea bowl, stood up and went to Su Shuang to seek comfort.Su Jin looked at Yue Ya'er helplessly, "Yue Ya'er, what did you call me just now?"

"Third Sister!" As soon as Yue Ya'er finished speaking, Shan Shan hurriedly stopped her and said, "Young lady, how can you call Miss Su San my elder sister? Isn't this messing up your seniority? Second Miss Su is your wife's wife." Mother, you should call Miss Su San the third aunt."

Yue Yue'er smiled and narrowed her eyes, "How did I know this, no one of you told me, I always called it after Xiao Qiao'er."

Su Jin was speechless for a moment, it seemed that she had to educate Xiao Qiao'er when she went back, she must have taught Yue Ya'er to say that.

After lunch, Su Jin wanted to take Liuli to find Qi Yao and inquire about the news, but when she got to the gate of Chu's house, she realized that she didn't know where Qi Yao lived at all, so she sent someone to ask Chu Luo, and Chu Luo Let your own servant take them for a walk.

The two went out in the Chu family's carriage, and the young man sat next to the coachman to lead the way. From time to time, he talked to Su Jin in the carriage about what was fashionable in the capital, and those who passed by the famous cosmetic shops and pastry shops did not forget Tell them, Su Jin and Liuli also listened with great interest. They were listening to him tell interesting stories about the inner house of a cosmetic shop by the roadside, but the voice suddenly stopped. After a while, the young man said: "Su San Wait a minute, girl, the road ahead seems to be blocked, I'll go and take a look at the situation."

Hearing this, Su Jin also opened the curtain to take a look. This road is quite a prosperous road in the capital, and the road surface is fairly wide. Why is it blocked?After thinking about it, she also got out of the car with Liuli. It was not easy to go forward, so she poked her head and looked forward, and the boy came back, "There are a few noblemen fighting in front, we don't want to mess with it, or Just wait patiently, there is a pastry shop right next to it, there are cleansing plum slices, snowflake foreign sugar, and emerald jade bean cakes, which are extremely delicious, let's queue up to buy some, Miss Su San also has a taste." Talk with anticipation.

Su Jin also understands that there are many nobles in the capital, not to mention his own family, even the Chu family is just a businessman, oh, now it is an imperial merchant, but even if it is an imperial merchant, it cannot afford to provoke the children of these nobles in Beijing. I heard that they They are all very domineering.After thinking about it, he nodded, "Let's go."

The boy was naturally happy, and hurriedly told the coachman to lead the way ahead.After a few people had finished buying pastries, they were about to visit other shops to pass the time, when they saw a young lady in a gorgeous dress, followed by a maidservant, who also came down from the carriage and came towards this side as if to buy pastries.As she got closer, Su Jin heard the servant girl beside her say: "The princess is a daughter of gold, why don't you come and buy the cakes by yourself, I just leave these trivial matters to the slaves, the princess should go back and rest."

It turned out to be a princess. It seems that the capital is full of nobles nowadays. It is really interesting to meet a princess as soon as I go out.Su Jin became interested and didn't leave. She stood on the side of the road and looked at the princess carefully. Needless to say, she was wearing a tulle summer shirt with red embroidered flowers and riches. The top quality of waiting, even the hairpin on the head is shining golden, dazzling Su Jin's eyes are dizzy.But his appearance can only be regarded as average, with sharp eyebrows and eyes, one can tell that he is not a kind person.Su Jin withdrew her gaze and simply stopped looking, so as not to cause trouble for herself.

Later, I heard the boy following the carriage say: "General Lu is now appointed as the general of the town by the Holy Spirit, and he is quite respected by the Holy Spirit, but his son, General Yunwei, is a bastard. Fighting, I heard that the princess was so angry that she lived in the palace for several days and never went back to the mansion."

Another servant hurriedly covered his mouth, "Didn't you see that Princess Ping'an is at the dim sum shop? You're courting death by saying that!"

Su Jin was taken aback when she heard this, she only heard the words 'General Yunwei', isn't General Yunwei the bastard Lu Yunchuan!Is he fighting with someone in front?No, since I met myself, I can't let him go!If Xiang Wan didn't settle the debt with him, who else would he settle with!

Seeing her suddenly lift her skirt and run forward like the wind, although Liuli was puzzled, she hurriedly followed. Seeing this, the servants of the Chu family could only hurriedly follow, trying to stop Su Jin. But Su Jin ran so fast that she couldn't catch up at all.

The person who fought with Lu Yunchuan happened to be an acquaintance of Su Jin, but He Lianwen, the only son of the King of Xishan County, was addicted to fighting with Lu Yunchuan, when he saw a figure rushing towards Lu Yunchuan, he hurriedly backed away Stepping back, he fixed his eyes and saw that it was Su Jin, and was shocked, when did the third girl from the Su family come to the capital?Does that fellow Zhusan know?What entanglement did she have with Lu Yunchuan?Thinking about this, I made up my mind to watch the excitement first.

Seeing He Lianwen backing away, Lu Yunchuan thought he was scared of being beaten, and just about to say something sarcastic, he was slapped on the face by someone, and when he realized it, he stared and saw that it was Su Jin!He had only met her a few times, and the reason he still recognized her now was because of Xiang Wan.But what's the matter with the majestic General Yunwei being beaten by a woman on the street?

"Are you crazy? What are you doing?" He darkened his face, "I'm not Qi Yao, and I won't stand your petty temper!"

He is still annoyed?Su Jin stared at him viciously, then walked up to He Lianwen, "Master He Lian enjoyed watching the excitement, right? I wonder if you can answer a question for me?"

He Lianwen nodded with a smile, "Miss Su San just give orders."

"I don't know which one of you is better than Lu Yunchuan?"

Naturally, this matter cannot be ambiguous, He Lianwen hurriedly said: "Of course it is good, every time Lu Yunchuan is beaten to the ground by me, but he still refuses to accept it."

"If Mr. Helian can teach Lu Yunchuan a lesson for me, when I return to Zhuque City, I will tell Zhu Ling that although Mr. Helian is in the capital, he is clean and self-respecting. If you refuse to help, or If you lose, then that’s not what I told Zhuling, I would say that I met Mr. Helian in and out of a brothel in Beijing," Su Jin looked at him with a light smile after speaking, "What do you think, master?"

This woman!He Lianwen had the feeling of being stung after watching scorpions fight. Now he is being plotted against! "Hmph! If it wasn't for Zhuling's sake, I..."

"I wouldn't have asked you for help if it wasn't for Zhu Ling's sake, thank you." Su Jin took a few steps back calmly. This meant that she was going to watch the excitement, right?If you watch the fun, just watch the fun, but she still forgot to add, "If the young master loses, he should withdraw as soon as possible, and I will let my maid go up and teach him a lesson."

These words are still human words!He Lianwen was so angry that he almost vomited blood, this is to use him but look down on him!Looking at the angry Lu Yunchuan on the opposite side, he also became angry. Unlike the previous strokes, he punched hard when he went up. Lu Yunchuan had to be careful when he saw that he was coming.

The two fought for more than half an hour, and it turned out that He Lianwen's martial arts were better. In fact, Lu Yunchuan was not good at fighting alone. Like his father, General Zhenguo, he led the troops on the battlefield and relied on formations. .

Seeing Lu Yunchuan being bruised and purple on his face, Helianwen shook his sore neck and wrists, listened to the compliments from the people around him, and looked at Su Jin with a smile, Su Jin also smiled at him Smiled, "Thank you Mr. Helian, I will definitely do what I promised." After finishing speaking, he went to look at Lu Yunchuan, who spat out a mouthful of blood and stared at her angrily, "Where did I provoke you? , you want someone to beat me?"

"I didn't hit you because you provoked me. I'm a commoner, and I can't be bullied too much even by General Yunwei. How dare I let someone beat you." Su Jin looked at him bitterly, "But you provoked me." To Xiangwan, and hurt her so badly! If I don't avenge her, how can I get over this hurdle in my heart? Lu Yunchuan, the great General Yunwei, just because your family is powerful and you have a lot of filthy money in your hands You can bully people as you like! Xiang Wan took her mother away from home for you, and was wronged to be your concubine, and even desperately gave birth to your child. Are you just betraying her? You are not in a hurry when she disappears, Are you still thinking about fighting with others? Lu Yunchuan, you are simply a beast!" He raised his hand to fight again, but his hand was held by someone.

Su Jin turned her head and saw that the person holding her wrist was none other than Princess Ping An. It turned out that this princess was Lu Yunchuan's wife. She might not be without responsibility for Xiang Wan's death. I thought she didn't understand!She pulled her hand out with all her strength, and looked at Princess Pingan with hatred, "I don't know, Princess, do you still remember Xiang Wan? If a person does something wrong, he will be awakened by nightmares in the middle of the night. I don't know about Princess Are you sleeping soundly?"

Xiang Wan?that woman?Princess Ping's complexion changed slightly, but she quickly returned to normal. She looked at Su Jin with a majestic expression, "I don't care what I say, but you, a mere commoner, dare to beat my son-in-law? What is this?" sin you know?"

Su Jin said stubbornly: "I don't know, I only know that people will suffer retribution for doing bad things." She turned to look at Lu Yunchuan, "General Yunwei, what do you think?"

However, Lu Yunchuan was still muttering the word Xiang Wan in a daze. Hearing her question, he quickly grabbed her arm, "Where is Xiang Wan? Do you know where she is? I came back from the battlefield and found that she was gone. I thought She went back to her hometown, so she went to Qingshi Town to look for her, but there was no one, her house had been sold long ago, and there was no one there. I went to Suzaku City to ask people, and they said that there is no one named Xiang Wan in the Su family, Su Jin, tell me, where is Xiang Wan? Where is she?" The last sentence was hysterical.

"You really don't know about her?" Su Jin was a little confused, "You don't know about her...she already..."

"What happened to her? What do you think happened to her?" Lu Yunchuan thought of something, but he couldn't believe it. He looked at Su Jin with fear and unwillingness to believe it.

"Okay!" Princess Ping'an had an angry look on her face, "It's not proper to shout and shout like this on the street, son-in-law, why don't you go back to the mansion with me!" After finishing speaking, she winked at the people around her. Then someone came and dragged Lu Yunchuan away.

"As for this woman, arrest me too!"

Just as Su Jin wanted to resist, Liuli also wanted to make a move, and even He Lianwen was about to step forward to intercede, when he stopped, "Princess, please be merciful!"

It's Qi Yao!Seeing him, Su Jin's eyes immediately turned red, and Qi Yao got off the horse, "Princess, this girl is my savior, I wonder if the princess can be accommodating?"

Although Qi Yao's official position is not big, he follows Old General Lu and is a reliable celebrity in front of the Holy Majesty. Although Ping An is a princess, he does not dare to offend at will, so he said reluctantly: "Since General Qi Shen said so , then I'll give you a face, let's forget about it." After speaking, he took his servants and left.

Qi Yao also took Su Jin directly to a nearby restaurant and asked for a private room. Seeing Su Jin's sad face, he deliberately said, "I know you're greedy, so I'll treat you to something delicious today. Even cornmeal pancakes are fine, as long as you don't want the moon in the sky."

Su Jin couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, and remembered that when she met him for the second time, he helped her family and asked if there was enough to pay back the 50 taels owed to him. It was already late at night Yes, he was hungry, so he took buns for him, and told him that the moon on the fifteenth day was as round as a tortilla.Thinking of her, she couldn't help but shook her head with a smile. At that time, she was just a little girl, and he was just a boy with a cold personality. Oh, no, he was a young bandit, haha...

"What are you laughing at, tell me what you want to eat." Qi Yao looked at her with a smile, thinking that when she smiled, her eyes crooked like crescent moons.
