Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 86
In the blink of an eye, it's March and spring, when the wind blows and the flowers bloom, the flowers on Youxia Mountain bloom early. The barbarian riot has just passed. I heard that no less than a hundred people have been arrested. Some were indeed refugees, and Nie Wuhuan ordered food to be sent back beyond the Great Wall.

However, due to such a commotion, the farms in the entire frontier were seriously damaged. Needless to say, several heavy rains caused the farms to be flooded, and then because of the rebellion of the barbarians, even those who had harvested abandoned their grain and fled.

So during spring plowing, the fields are full of busy figures. Not only do they have to take away last year's rotten leaves, but they also want to repair the dams, which can be described as busy.

Every day just after dawn, there are farmers who start to dig the soil to prepare for the next year's cultivation.

The Su family is no exception, but this year's harvest is not good, not to mention eating by themselves, even the seeds for farming are not left, so the old man Su and Su Jiu went to the town to buy seeds, and Su's mother stayed alone in the field to rummage. Soil, the matter of housekeeping fell to Xiaoshan.

Early in the morning, Su Xiaoshan borrowed some books from the Li family next door, but the young master of the Li family still didn't come back except for the servants who were taking care of it.

"Sister, you and dad went to the town to buy some rice paper for me, I used up some days ago."

"Oh!" Su Jiu responded with a dull and expressionless voice from upstairs. She had been hiding in the house so spiritlessly since she came back. Today, the old man Su insisted on dragging her to the mountain together, but Su Jiu still Being lazy, clutching the bedding and refusing to move.

"Sister, you can't get up yet. After a while, when Dad comes back from the field and sees it, he will curse again."

"Oh, I see. Hey, Xiao Shan, why don't you go with Dad, I really don't want to leave."

"Sister, are you thinking about the lord again, wondering why he didn't go to him? Since the two of us left without saying goodbye, the lord seems to be angry too, and I haven't seen him come to see you. Sister, I'm really embarrassed to say, I'll write to the prince and tell him to take you back, it's better than being bored at home."

"Don't you dare to write. You didn't tell me the last time you wrote a letter. You still want to write this time? Don't write." Su Jiu jumped up from the bed, wrapped in a quilt and shouted at the wooden door, and then his heart was filled again. It's a bit cold, why do I want to humiliate myself, but the prince is always the prince, he can't escape three wives and four concubines in his life, let alone who he is, how can He De ask the prince to marry only himself? !
Su Jiu knows the truth better than anyone else, but it's not so smooth when he does it.

"Sister, are you still not getting up?" Xiao Shan continued to shout from downstairs.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I want you to go, I won't go." Su Jiu's stubborn temper came up again.

Xiao Shan shook his head helplessly, worried that old man Su would copy the soles of his shoes to pat Su Jiu's back when he came back, so he thought of a way and asked old man Su to take him there.

Over there, the old man Su had already entered the yard with the jug in his arms, and Su Xiaoshan ran forward, "Father, I'll go with you. I'm going to do some shopping along the way, and I also want to ask Brother Zhou to borrow some books to read. Last time The borrowed one has not been returned to him, so I will take it with me this time."

The old man Su took a mouthful of his cigarette pipe, looked suspiciously at Su Xiaoshan, and then at the direction of the second floor.

Su Xiaoshan bit his thin lips, and asked with a smile, "Father, if you don't take me, I can help you carry some things."

"Hmph, that girl knows how to hide in the den, but I don't know? That's all, go as you go, I'll see how long she can hide."

"Hey, dad is not angry with my sister?"

"You were all born by me. I can tell when you stick your ass and pull some shit, but I don't know what you are thinking. Okay, let's go, we have to get back before dark."

"Hey, it's better to fall down. I'll go get the pole." Xiao Shan put aside the pole and carried the pole in the corner. He didn't forget to look around the courtyard of Li's house, but he still couldn't see Mr. Li. He shook his head helplessly. Follow the old man Su out of the courtyard gate.

On the mountain road in the town, Su Xiaoshan still didn't forget to hold the scroll and read seriously. Occasionally, the old man walked too fast, so he stopped at a distance and squatted down to smoke a few cigarettes, waiting for Su Xiaoshan to approach.

Su Xiaoshan looked carefully, but he didn't see the old man Su waiting, and the old man didn't care, Xiaoshan read quickly, he was very happy, but thinking about it again, Xiaoshan is really honest and responsible, he only knows how to read and write, he is very good at being a human being. She doesn't know much about the world, and she has an introverted personality like a woman, and she usually follows Su Jiu happily, and rarely interacts with others on weekdays. Just waiting to suffer.

So old man Su imitated his predecessors' shrewd calculations and said to Xiao Shan, "In the future, we must learn to be good at calculations, not just read books."

"Oh, Dad, I understand."

"The imperial examination will start in June this year. Don't be burdened. You can still practice for a few years when you are young, and your mother and I can support you for a few years. But remember, once you get into the habit, you can't farm like us. It’s true that people will take advantage of it.”

"Father, I understand what you said."

"You can learn from your sister. I don't know why your sister has changed after what happened that year. It can be good. Otherwise, our old Su family is all incompetent people or has a bullied temper. I'm afraid It will be difficult in the future, although your sister is making a fuss now, she will not be underestimated, so your mother and I can feel relieved, but when can we find a husband's family..."

"Father, isn't that the prince?"

"Go, what nonsense, are we the ones who can climb up the royal family? It's your sister who sees it clearly. That's why I didn't go into this troubled water. I just watched her sullen all day long, hey..." Old man Su said With a long sigh, all the words of concern were swallowed in his stomach, but there was a look of concern and worry in his eyes, which even Xiao Shan, who was reading with his head down, could feel it.

"father……"

"Let's go, it's getting late."

"Oh!"

After entering the town, Su Xiaoshan accompanied the old man Su to buy seeds and some vegetable seeds, as well as the flower seeds that Su Xiaoshan specially found for Su Jiu. Old man Su called for a carriage, and he wanted to go to Zhou Xiang's mansion first, and he also wanted to investigate the child's death along the way.

Old man Su confessed a few words, and happily got into the carriage.Su Xiaoshan turned around and went in the direction of Zhou Mansion.

On the way, passing a lively tavern, Xiao Shan looked around and saw a familiar face there.

"The hill?"

"Little Gong?"

"Oh, how could it be you?" Xiao Gong was delighted, with a look of joy on his face.

"I came here to look for Brother Zhou, are you going back to your hometown?" Xiao Shan asked.

"Hey, yes, the family is tight, I have to go back and have a look. I just didn't expect to meet you here, what a coincidence."

"Yes, what a coincidence, hey, what's going on inside, why is it so lively?" Xiao Shan continued to look around, only to see a few men playing with knives and forks in their hands, it was very lively.

"It's because I met a few fellow villagers. I'm here to watch the excitement, and I'll go back with them later."

"Well, it's really lively, well, I'll leave first, I'm afraid it will be late, Brother Zhou is not at the house." Xiao Shan scratched the back of his head embarrassedly, and looked at Xiao Gong.

Xiao Gong's eyes were warm, with a trace of reluctance, but he still nodded to Xiao Shan, "Okay, let's say goodbye!"

"Farewell!" Xiao Shan cupped his hands.

Looking at Xiao Shan's back, Xiao Gong shed tears reluctantly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, turned around angrily, and got into the house.

Xiao Shan walked briskly, afraid that Xiao Gong would stop him, after all, he had been together before, no matter what the purpose was, he didn't want to offend the other party, but he couldn't bear it and he didn't want to have a deep friendship with him, so he quickly He was walking, but was stopped by a voice behind him.

Xiao Shan turned his head and saw two men walking towards him. Xiao Shan was wondering why he called out his name because they didn't know each other. , not forgetting to say, "I heard that you hurt our little Gong's heart, our brothers can't make people in the same town suffer, walk..."

"Hey, brothers, this is..." Xiao Gong stepped forward and stopped the two of them.

Xiao Shan peeked through his fingers and saw that it was Xiao Gong kicking his limbs and starting to struggle, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooh

but……

Xiao Gong nodded immediately after hearing what the two said, and Xiao Shan was wrapped in bandages all over his body, his mouth was gagged, and he was thrown into the carriage with a bang.

Xiao Shan looked at the curtain that Xiao Gong was gradually lowering, feeling ashamed.

Three days later, Su Jiu came to Zhou Xiang's mansion. Zhou Xiang was not in the mansion today, and went to arrange the burial of the little boy, and came back very late.

When the night was getting darker, Zhou Xiang was shaking off the dust on his body while walking into the mansion, when he looked up, he saw Su Jiu's anxious figure.

"Miss Su, have you been waiting for a long time?" Zhou Xiang's face was full of joy. Ever since Su Jiu left the army without saying goodbye, he was also busy in the army. He just came back and had to deal with the little boy again. He hadn't spared time to look at Wang Su Jiu, and on the way back just now, he was still thinking about picking a time to see Su Jiu, but he saw it as soon as he shook his head, and he was so happy that he almost went forward to hug Su Jiu.

"Zhou Xiang, is Xiao Shan with you?"

"Never been here, what happened?"

"Ah?" Su Jiu exclaimed, and the heart she was holding fell to the ground with a "boom", and the sound of the beating made her feel weak and almost fell down.

"What happened?" Zhou Xiang asked.

"Xiaoshan is gone. I said I came to you three days ago, but I still don't see him coming home. I searched many places and said that he did come here that day, but why did he disappear?" Su Jiu was confused. talking.

Zhou Xiang's heart tightened, he frowned and thought for a while, then pulled up Su Jiu, "Don't worry, let's look for it."

Zhou Xiang was worried that Su Jiu would get impatient, so he stayed by Su Jiu's side every step of the way. He sent people to search everywhere, and the news they sent back only said that Xiao Shan was indeed in the town that day, but he disappeared after meeting an acquaintance.

Two days later, the expelled people got the news that Xiao Shan was trafficked by Xiao Gong to the Northern Dynasty.

Su Jiu's vision went dark immediately, and he passed out.

Zhou Xiang sent Su Jiu back to the Su family, while he himself went to the barracks and asked people to inquire about it. Nie Wuhuan, who knew about this, was even more restless, and sent additional people to find out the news. Arrived at the frontier fortress of the Northern Dynasty.

When the exact news was about to be sent back, it was learned that Su Jiu had disappeared.
