Yuanfeng tossed until the middle of the night, in order not to delay the trip, but also not to give Yuanfeng a chance to toss. Before dawn, Su Huaiyu called the girl's mother-in-law to clean up, didn't bother to eat breakfast, and only took some hot steamed buns on the road. The people of the Mu family in the small courtyard next to him had just gotten up, and Su Huaiyu only sent her mother-in-law over and said: They will leave first, and we will see you in the capital again. No matter how ugly Old Lady Mu's face was, she took her own people and drove away first.

When Su Jinqiu was about to get into the carriage, he thought about it and asked the little official: "What about the seventh master?" ”

"I left on the fifth watch." The little official whispered, if ordinary people asked them, they would never dare to reveal it, Su Jinqiu asked, they would not dare not say it.

Su Jinqiu just nodded, didn't say anything else, just gave her mother-in-law a hand and got into the carriage.

Even the post station officials knew that the emperor was going to drive the royal expedition next month, no matter how unreliable it sounded, the matter was already a certainty. Just think about the battle of the emperor's southern tour, in addition to the big movements, there is also the result.

If the emperor loses the battle, he still takes the initiative to provoke it......

The opponent chosen is the Xiongnu again, and Emperor Yongchang is in the water of his brain.

The court must be the crown prince in charge of the country, and Yuan Feng followed the imperial front, in addition to Yuan Feng's personal reasons for liking the battlefield, it is estimated that there are also political reasons.

Emperor Yongchang's favorite prince is Feng Chi, Feng Chi is older, and he has learned martial arts, and he became famous as a young man, and he will definitely follow at this time. Yuanfeng and the prince have a very close relationship, and at this time, Yuanfeng followed, and he was not completely ignorant of Fengchi's movements.

Although Da Chu has no precedent of abolishing the elder and the young, the pressure on the prince from Fengchi is indeed not small.

Last night, Yuan Feng said that he was busy, and the army was about to be dispatched, and he had to accompany him in the army, so there was no reason not to be busy.

After having breakfast in the car, Mu Qiniang said, "Yesterday, the seventh master ......"

There was such a big movement last night, and she was awakened even by sleep. It's just that kind of scene, she can't help when she goes out, so she just opens the corner of the window and looks out.

When she saw Yuanfeng at a glance, Mu Qiniang was really shocked, and her first reaction was, where is the Taoist priest, quickly accept this demon.

Such a bewitching appearance, beautiful is beautiful, but with indescribable ferocity and malice. At that time, she was thinking about how to fight back if Yuan Feng pulled Su Jinqiu to the bed, it wasn't that she thought too much, but her dark eyes were full of possessiveness.

"Leave him alone." Su Jinqiu said, she couldn't control it, she couldn't help Yuanfeng.

Su Huaiyu was also full of upset, and sighed: "How can you ignore him ......?"

A bad star like Yuanfeng has no scruples at all. Others won't talk about him, and they don't dare to talk about him. and said that the three aunts and six mothers-in-law would let Su Jinqiu go, the reputation of the girl's family was ruined, and what future could there be.

Su Jinqiu didn't want to say any more, so she changed the topic and said, "Auntie left in such a hurry, how did Old Lady Mu go to the door of the Su family." ”

Su Huaiyu would leave first in such a hurry, Yuanfeng was a part, and more importantly, he didn't want to go with the Mu family. According to the Mu family's plan, they went to Beijing with her, and then lived in the Su family. Except for the Su family, there is no second family in the capital that will take in the Mu family.

Now that Su Huaiyu took her to hurry up and take the first step, of course the Mu family could come to the door, but their posture was somewhat different. If you change someone, you may still feel that it doesn't matter, Old Lady Mu has a good face all his life, let him knock on the door of the Su family, and say that he came to borrow it, but he was afraid that his old face would not be able to hang up.

"It doesn't matter how he comes to the door, the old lady is merciful, if it's me, I won't care where they live." Su Huaiyu said, this is a hug for a hug, thinking about how the Mu family treated them when they came to the door. Living in the grocery room can also say this kind of thing, and now that the Mu family has come to ask for it, can you still expect the Su family to greet you with a smile.

Su Jinqiu laughed and said, "Why don't you let it live, it's good to live." Grandfather has a reason in his heart, aunt don't worry. ”

Eight years of grandchildren, Su Jinqiu felt that he still knew Mrs. Su, and the straw bag holy father couldn't be the elder. will agree to let the Mu family live, and have their own plans in their hearts.

"Alas......" Mu Qiniang couldn't help but sigh lightly when she heard this, and said: "Grandfather, grandmother is confused, she treats you so wrongly, and she listens to Pan Yu's provocation, for fear that you will crush her." ”

The Su Mu family just turned their faces, and they didn't have much to do with her, they were too transparent. Mrs. Mu has already made up her mind to sell her for money, no matter how bad it is.

Su Jinqiu said with a smile: "It's all over, there is no need to mention it again." ”

I believe that I will not be able to explain to the Mu family in the future, and there is no need to mention the past and old things.

Just as the carriage slowed down, there was a noisy sound outside, as if it was an investigation by officers and soldiers, Su Huaiyu hurriedly got out of the car to see. Su Jinqiu lifted the corner of the curtain and looked out, only to see that not far in front of him, there were brocade-clothed guards standing, checking the passing vehicles one by one. If you want to check the station, let alone enter Beijing.

Su Huaiyu stepped forward to negotiate, thinking that he would have to wait for a while, but he didn't expect a guard officer to come over and say, "The seventh master specially advises that the Su family's car will not be checked, Miss Su, please." ”

In the carriage, Su Jinqiu's five flavors were churning, and he smiled and said, "Thank you, sir." ”

I don't want to get Yuan Feng's advantage, but at this time, if she says that she has nothing to do with Yuan Feng, check it as usual. I'm afraid that it doesn't matter, and besides, with such a large army in front, I don't know when I will have to wait, and it's always a good thing to go home early.

Thinking about how many times Yuanfeng tossed her, this time she was a little light, and her psychology can always be balanced, otherwise she will always suffer losses and be depressed, and it will be too unlucky.

The coachman drove past the side and went straight to the capital all the way. I didn't bother to eat at lunch, and went straight to Su Mansion. The Su family has been a scholarly family for generations, although Su Ge Lao has an official residence after being promoted to the elder of the pavilion, although he has lived in the old house when he is busy with official business, he has spent more time in the old mansion, and Su Moyu and his wife and Su Jinqiu have been in the old mansion.

It is said that it is an old house, and when Su Moyu got married, it was all demolished and rebuilt, and it was completely new inside and out. Later, Mrs. Su had an accident, and the official residence was recovered, and the old house still belonged to the Su family, and Mrs. Su lived here.

There are two big stone lions squatting on the street, the gate of the beast's head, and the word Su Fu is hung on the door plaque. In the past, there was a lot of traffic in front of the door, and there was no one in front of the door, and it was deserted.

Su Huaiyu got out of the car and knocked on the door, and waited for a while before the door opened. The car drove into the second door, and the girl's mother-in-law helped Su Jinqiu and Mu Qiniang get out of the car, and Su Jinqiu's hand was on the mother-in-law's hand, as if she couldn't stand steadily. Hometown timidity, returning after three years of absence, parents died, grandfather was old, and my heart was pinched when I thought of this.

It was Uncle Hong who opened the door, and he was also an old man of the Su family for several lifetimes, and he followed the car all the way in. Seeing Su Jinqiu get out of the car, his face was both happy and sad, and said, "The girl has grown up, and the old lady must be very happy to see you come back." ”

Su Jinqiu couldn't hold back any longer, tears fell straight down, and said, "After three years, Uncle Hong is fine." ”

"Okay, all right." Uncle Hong said, also old tears, wiping tears with his sleeves. He said, "The old lady is very good, but she just misses the girl." Most of the people in the family returned home, and a few of us waited for the old lady. ”

Saying that, he led the way, and said to Su Jinqiu: "The old lady is now moving to the study in the garden to live, and when the girl comes back, she will clean up the Rongdong Courtyard for the girl to live in, and all the things in your previous house have been moved." It's just that there are only us old servants and rough mothers-in-law at home, and I'm afraid that the girl will have to clean it up by herself. ”

Now there are a total of more than a dozen people in the family, usually closed doors, Mrs. Su also stays at home, daily life is enough, but such a large mansion is empty, and it seems very declining.

Su Jinqiu's footsteps couldn't help but speed up, and Mu Qiniang next to him hurriedly followed, but when she walked inside, she didn't feel that she was looking around. Five into the courtyard, carved beams and painted buildings, ingenious workmanship, delicate but not publicized. Jiangcheng Hou Mansion looked decent enough from the outside, but compared to Su Mansion, he immediately became scum. But the house is empty, there are no pedestrians, the leaves are everywhere, and the weeds are reborn, which makes it look more and more desolate.

The garden mountain gate is behind the main house, and after entering, I saw a few mothers-in-law cleaning, and I saw Su Jinqiu hurriedly greeting. Su Jinqiu didn't care about answering the question, and went straight to the inner study.

The inner study of the garden was originally a place to store books, two into the small courtyard, there is also a small cross-courtyard on the left side, the old lady Su often comes to read in his spare time, I remember that the old lady Su always complained, and there was no time to read the book. Now that I have enough time, I will move here directly, which is in line with Mrs. Su's style.

It was spring, and the small courtyard where the master lived was naturally well organized, and the mother-in-law pushed open the door of the main house. Su Jinqiu's footsteps unconsciously slowed down, at this time it was noon when the sun was shining, and the old lady Su was sitting in the middle of the three sun-facing main rooms.

Old lady Su was also a generation of beautiful men when he was young, otherwise he would not have given birth to a handsome son like Su Moyu. It's just that he has a square personality and doesn't smile, and the older he gets, the more stern and majestic he looks. Even at this time, watching Su Jinqiu slowly enter the house, he was still upright, with a serious face without a trace of smile.

"Grandfather...... The granddaughter is back. Su Jinqiu walked up to Old Lady Su, tears fell straight down, and her voice trembled slightly.

Rao is the tough guy style of Old Lady Su, and he was also a little moved at this time, and said, "Okay, it's good to come back." ”

Su Huaiyu and Mu Qiniang followed closely to greet the old lady Su, and Su Huaiyu said: "Live up to the old lady's trust, I brought the girl back." ”

"Thank you for your hard work." Old lady Su said.

Su Jinqiu introduced Mu Qiniang: "This is the seventh girl from the Mu family's big house, who was very close to me when she was in the Mu family, and she was accompanied by me on the road, and she arrived first." ”

Mu Qiniang hurriedly said, "I've seen Old Lady Su." ”

The beautiful grandfather with excellent momentum thought it was just a legend, but today I finally saw it with my own eyes.

Old lady Su nodded dispensably, it is also a good thing that her granddaughter has a playmate. Said: "It's the road, go freshen up and eat first, and come to see me after dinner." ”

"Yes." Su Jinqiu bowed his head in response.

There are many things to say for the ancestors and grandchildren, and it is not too late to talk about them slowly after resting and rectifying. Everything else is easy to say, the biggest trouble is Yuanfeng, and Old Lady Su needs to come up with an idea.

Rongdong Courtyard is next to the inner academy, and Mrs. Su placed Su Jinqiu here for the convenience of her ancestors and grandchildren. Like the inner academy, it is also a small courtyard with two entrances, the front hall and the back room, and the backyard behind the main house, rockery flowers and plants, which is a leisure place.

The male servants had already brought their beds, furniture, and other large things, and the tents were furnished. After eating lunch, the three of them took the girl and the mother-in-law to start packing up. At the beginning of Su Jinqiu's three years in the Jiangcheng Hou Mansion, he was the son of the Mu family, but later he felt that it was inappropriate, so he asked someone to buy another one, and this time he brought it to Kyoto, just in time.

Before the Mu family arrived, Mu Qiniang's luggage also moved over first. The draft is coming, there are many things, and it is more convenient for Mu Qiniang to live with the Mu family. Listening to Grandma Musi's meaning, I have to find the palace grandmother to assault again, so as not to make a mistake in the rules. The draft loss was small, and if the nobles in the palace were rushed, things would be a big deal.

If she just went to Beijing to visit relatives, Su Jinqiu wanted to invite Mu Qiniang to live with her, but now she could only let Mu Qiniang live with her in Rongdong Courtyard temporarily, and when the Mu family came, Mu Qiniang's residence would be cleaned up and moved over.

The kitchen boiled hot water, and the three of them took turns to take a bath, and after dinner, Mu Qiniang said that she was tired, and she would go to ask Mrs. Su for peace tomorrow morning. Su Jinqiu passed in the evening, it must be the time for her ancestors and grandchildren to get together, and she, an outsider, will not be involved.

Su Jinqiu instructed the girl to wait carefully, and followed Su Huaiyu to the inner study. Old lady Su had also just finished dinner and was waiting for Su Jinqiu and Su Huaiyu in the hall. The candlestick was bright, and Old Lady Su was sitting in the main hall, her expression was still serious, as if she was like this whenever she saw him. It's just that at this moment, the shadow hangs alone, and it seems more and more lonely.

Su Jinqiu and Su Huaiyu entered the house one after the other, and just as they were about to greet them, Mrs. Su beckoned them to sit next to them.

Looking at Su Jinqiu's face, in three years, the child has really grown up a lot, and between his eyebrows and eyes he is becoming more and more like Su Moyu. The only son, the only bloodline, I thought he was very young and always had the opportunity to give birth to a son, but the result was ......

Maybe this is the fate of the Su family, five generations of single transmission, and finally come to this day.

"Huaiyu, you go out in a few days. Go to nearby Zhili and other surrounding places, and even farther away, in short, don't be in the capital. When I went to the nurturing hall to pick up two one- and two-year-old orphans, I had to have solid bones. Old Lady Su said, a few simple commands, but it seemed to use up all the strength of his body.

It is a matter of heirs, and he does not dare to trust others, only Su Huaiyu is the most reliable.

Su Huaiyu stood up and agreed with a complicated feeling: "Yes." ”

She knew that Old Lady Su cared a lot about the inheritance of blood, and to the point of hugging her grandson, she was the last resort, and making such a decision, Old Lady Su was only afraid and uncomfortable.

After instructing Su Huaiyu, Old Lady Su turned his head to look at Su Jinqiu, with pity and emotion, and said: "After the child is brought over, I will give you a younger brother, and the sacrificial incense of the Su family cannot be broken." If someone else asks, they will say that they have succeeded the sect. You have to take care of them more in the future, and always pass on the family name. ”

"Granddaughter understands." Su Jinqiu said, knowing that Old Lady Su was thinking about her, and she was very moved in her heart.

If Old Lady Su really wants an heir, she can raise Su Moyu after she passes away, pick a relatively older one, and raise her well while she is in spirit. dragged on for three years, and after she got married, she specially told her to have children who were one or two years old, in order to increase the age of her and her heirs.

When she came out of the cabinet three years later, the two children were only four or five years old, and they were not very sensible. In the old mansion, the sacrificial field must be left to the heir, and the others should be taken away by her as a dowry, which is the plan of Mrs. Su. has no choice but to hold the heir, but the property must not be given to outsiders.

Old Lady Su took a deep breath and said, "Your family affairs have been decided, you are a very proper family, and your husband is also very good." If I finish the heir's business, I will be relaxed. ”

"Grandfather ......" Su Jinqiu couldn't help but say loudly, "There is one more thing, my granddaughter still has to ask my grandfather to have an idea." ”

"What's the matter?"

"About the Seventh Master Yuanfeng ......"

The cause and effect were clearly explained, and all kinds of details were not let go, Su Jinqiu didn't feel embarrassed. She is in the capital, and Yuan Feng is also in the capital, who knows what he will do, not to mention that there is no impermeable wall in the world. Rather than waiting for things to be untouchable, it is better to take the initiative to explain to Mrs. Su, maybe there is some way to deal with it.

The Yu family is a scholarly family, and they may not care about the death of her parents, but they definitely care about her reputation. Yuanfeng is so troublesome, not to mention the Yu family, the nunnery will be her home.

Old Lady Su frowned when she heard this, and after thinking for a while, she said, "I know what I said." ”
