Chapter 8 The First Mention of the Capital

In the blink of an eye, it has become July, and the weather is getting hotter and hotter, fortunately, the city of Lanzhou is surrounded by mountains and rivers, and every midsummer it borrows a little coolness from those mountains and rivers, so that the people living in the city are not as hot and uncomfortable as other places.

Just after noon on this day, the sun in the sky is fierce, even in the city of Shanzhou, there are few voices on the street, only the sound of cicadas. The almost hypnotic sound of cicadas makes people drowsy, and just when people give up their strength and are about to close their eyes and take a nap with the cicadas, the sound of cars and horses from afar brings a touch of noise to this quiet afternoon.

"What's going on?" the unknown traveler who was sitting in a teahouse on the street drinking tea looked at the long line of motorcades on the street and asked the owner of the teahouse curiously. Could it be that some big man is coming?

The teahouse owner glanced up at the direction of the convoy and said flatly, "Oh, I'm going to Deep Water Alley." It's nothing, it's just a convoy to deliver things to Su Province. When this convoy first came, he was also very curious, and he followed it to see the excitement, and then in the past two years, such a convoy has come almost two or three times a year, and he is not surprised.

"Su Fu, what is the origin of the house?"

"Do you know the Marquis of Wenchang? This Su Mansion is his old man's hometown. The teahouse owner said.

"Then, the Marquis of Wenchang lives in that mansion, no wonder there is such a big battle. The traveler suddenly understood.

Clinker, but the teahouse owner shook his head and explained: "Although Sufu is the hometown of Marquis Wenchang, his old man does not live here, and he has already moved to the capital." ”

"That's right, they're all sealed, so naturally they want to live in the capital. The traveler smiled and touched his head, and then asked in confusion, "And why is that?"

"It's for the seven girls in Nafu, these things are also for her. ”

"A little girl? where did she use these things. The traveler was surprised, so many things are enough for an ordinary person's family for a lifetime.

"It's not about us. These high-ranking people are no more noble than us. The teahouse owner sighed.

The seven girls in their mouths, that is, Su Yunjiao, didn't know that they had once again become the talking point of others. At this time, she was enjoying the flowers and eating melons in the small courtyard where she was fasting, and she was casually arguing with Su Yunyou, who was unhappy, not to mention how leisurely her life was.

"Why did you show up in my lotus fast?" Still admiring my flowers and eating my melons?" Su Yunyou asked menacingly.

Su Yunjiao swallowed the watermelon in her mouth and said slowly: "Yes, Eighth Sister is wrong. This lotus fast is not yours alone, and there is also a share of the fourth sister. The fourth sister invited me to be a guest at her lotus fast, and I naturally came. So I'm here for the fourth sister's lotus fast, not your lotus fast, you say yes? ”

Su Yunrou over there pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Su Yunyou: "I invited the seventh sister to be a guest." ”

"Sister, why are you always looking at her. "Obviously, I am your own sister, Su Yun said leisurely, "Okay, let's not mention it for the time being, the melon you eat now is mine!"

"The Buddha said, if I don't go to hell, who will go to hell. Eighth sister, seventh sister, I'm doing this for your good. Su Yunjiao said with a compassionate tone.

"What do you mean?"

Su Yunjiao looked at her, her expression was very sad, Su Yunyou was about to attack when she saw it, but she sighed: "Eighth sister, although you are now the time to grow your body, you are also a little 'rounded'. In order for you not to continue to be 'mellow', so that you can't marry in the future, Seventh Sister has no choice but to sacrifice herself to save you!"

Saying that, Su Yunjiao completely ignored Su Yunyou's darkening complexion, stuck a piece of watermelon with a bamboo stick, and said, "Let me go to hell with these watermelons." Don't be too grateful. ”

"Su, Yun, Jiao. Su Yunyou gritted his teeth and said, "Who is going to be grateful to you!"

"What are the girls talking about? So happy. A maid wearing an emerald green dress, dark hair and snowy skin with a pair of willow leaf curved eyebrows walked with a smile.

Su Yunrou saw her and said with a smile: "Why is Sister Cuimei here?"

"Madame ordered me to summon some of the girls. Cui Mei smiled, and saw that Su Yunjiao was also there, "It just so happens that the seventh girl is also there, and I will go to Shiqing Courtyard again." ”

"Is something wrong? Why did my mother suddenly call us over. Su Yunyou asked.

Cui Mei glanced at Su Yunjiao before answering Su Yunyou's question: "Eighth girl don't worry. It was the third lady who sent it when the season came, and asked the girls to come over and have a look. ”

"Mother sent someone?" Su Yunjiao, who had come over for the first time, couldn't help but be a little excited, "Who is here?"

Cui Mei replied: "It's Steward Wu and his daughter-in-law who came before." ”

Wu Ansheng, his daughter-in-law used to be the eldest maid next to his mother, and after getting married, he became a housekeeper, and both husband and wife were employed by their parents' side.

"It's them. ”

"Let's go, a few girls, they're all waiting in Xingchun Hall. Cui Mei urged again, and the sisters did not delay any longer and went to Xingchun Hall.

In the Xingchun Hall, Liu was talking to a young daughter-in-law wearing a dark blue silk gown with a smile on her face. Liu looked at the gilded hairpin on her head, the skein gold bracelet on her hand, and her temperament looked like a subordinate daughter-in-law, but she was afraid that she was stronger than ordinary women's wives. Or the third sister-in-law will train people.

"Say hello to the fourth lady, and the lady asked me to ask the fourth lady how she is. Wu Ansheng said with a smile, "My wife said that although the weather is hot, the fourth lady is not in good health, and she should take care more, and she should not hurt her body by being cool for a while." ”

Liu said with a smile: "I am also a mother, why does the third sister-in-law still treat me as a little bride when she first entered the door." The three uncles and three sisters-in-law are good now. ”

"It's all good, Qingzhou City is gradually settling down, and everything is fine with my old lady. Wu Ansheng's family replied, "I just miss the sixth young master and the seventh girl very much." The seventh girl is fortunate to have the fourth lady to take care of her, and the lady is also relieved, but the sixth young master has been traveling to study, and it is difficult to know where to go. ”

"Alas, it's hard to be the third sister-in-law. "It's not easy to get together with your own children and leave more, and the Liu family is much luckier than her in this regard," let the third sister-in-law relax, the sixth nephew's son also came to me a few years ago, and I look very energetic." Before leaving, he left a letter, saying that if someone from Qingzhou came, please hand it over on my behalf. ”

"Oh," this was an unexpected joy, Wu Ansheng said with a smile, "That's a good feeling, this time my wife will definitely be happy, I think my reward is indispensable." ”

The two were talking happily, and the green sideburns came in with a curtain and said, "Madam, the girls are here." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a goose-yellow figure had already come in, this time it was not Su Yunyou, but Su Yunjiao who was excited.

"Hello fourth uncle. As soon as Su Yunjiao came in, she said a blessing to the Liu family, and then said to Wu Ansheng's family: "Sister Wu is good." ”

"Okay, well, it's worth asking the girl. Wu Ansheng's family said three good words in a row, every time the girl saw her in the past, she was eager to ask the news of the old lady, how could she ask her first this time.

Wu Ansheng's family was busy saluting Su Yunjiao again: "How is the girl?"

Su Yunjiao said with a smile: "What's wrong with me, the fourth uncle and aunt take care of me very well, the fourth sister and the eighth sister treat me well, I don't want to go back if I stay here." ”

Huh? Didn't the girl who came back still say that this is not good and that it is not good, and that she wants to go back to Beijing? Is something going on? I'll ask someone about it later.

"How are your father and mother?" Su Yunjiao asked again, "Yunjiao hasn't seen them for a long time, and I miss them very much." ”

Wu Ansheng's family replied: "The old man and the lady are all good, and they all miss the girl." ”

Su Yunjiao felt a warmth in her heart when she heard this, and then said worriedly: "Sister Wu will definitely tell her parents when she goes back, Yunjiao is all right, let them not worry too much, so as not to hurt their minds." ”

"Don't worry, girl, I'll bring that. "The girl is so much more sensible than before.

"What about the third brother, is he good in the army?"

Wu Ansheng said: "The third young master is all right, I heard that he is very appreciated by the peak." ”

On the side, Su Yunyou listened to their conversation, and asked with some curiosity: "Aren't our Wenchang Marquis family all civil officials?"

Su Yunjiao has been with her for so many days, and she doesn't need to look back to know what she is thinking: "Don't guess, my third brother is both civil and military, but he is more interested in the way of soldiers." ”

Su Yunyou felt strange, but Liu took it for granted. Although the Marquis of Wenchang is a civilian, the Gu family of the third sister-in-law's maiden family, Zhenbeihou Mansion, is called the military attache Shuangbi with the Zhenguo Gongwei family, and the third sister-in-law is the only concubine of the Zhenbei Hou, her son is a martial artist and a Wen, what is so strange.

"In this way, is the third brother as good as the sixth brother?" Su Yunyou has no brother and only one sister, although Su Yunrou is a very good sister, she has always wanted to have a brother, an older brother who can protect her and her sister. This kind of thinking is even worse after seeing the sixth brother, and now that I heard that Su Yunjiao also has an excellent third brother, Su Yunyou is even more envious.

"Of course. "The Su family has three rooms, except for her, all of them are the best.

"You say you're so annoying, how can you have such two good brothers?"

After listening to Su Yunyou's words, Wu Ansheng's family was very surprised, when did the eighth girl get along with their girl so easily, and she didn't speak with a cold face when she returned before. What surprised her even more was that Su Yunjiao was not angry, but was thinking about her question very seriously.

Something must have happened here, and it looks like she'll have to inquire about it.

Yes, how could she have such a good brother, and it was two. Su Yunjiao touched her chin and thought about it for a long time before she spit out: "Probably God thinks I'm kind and cute." ”

"Shameless!" Su Yunyou decided not to pay attention to her, and turned back to the Liu family, "I heard that there are many outstanding brothers and sisters in the capital, Xiao You has never seen them, I don't know when Xiao You will be able to meet them." ”

"This ......" Liu didn't know what to say, couldn't she tell Su Yunyou directly that their family was in trouble returning to Beijing?

At this time, Wu Ansheng's family smiled and said, "Don't worry, the eighth girl, you will see it, and you will see it soon." ”
