Chapter 455: Hospitality

Yan Jinxuan had just returned to his home in Changxingmen when he received a letter from the third prince and Du Chenghuan.

In the letter, the third prince said: "After I received your letter, I immediately reported the matter to my father, who has sent someone to verify the authenticity and summoned Du Chenghuan, and if the situation is true, he will immediately send troops to exterminate them." ”

Du Chenghuan's letter said: "I have met with the emperor and the three princes, the emperor has sent someone to Zhenxiong to investigate, and I have prepared people here to listen to the emperor's orders at any time." ”

Yan Jinxuan put their letter in his pocket and strode towards the room.

Su Shanyun fell asleep in the chair with a book in her hand.

She was covered with a thin blanket that Mama Long had given her.

Seeing this, Yan Jinxuan immediately lightened his pace.

"Second master." Mama Long, who was serving next to Su Shanyun, hurriedly greeted Yan Jinxuan softly. Yan Jinxuan nodded at her slightly, and then walked over and carried Su Su Shanyun to the bed.

As soon as Su Shanyun stuck to the bed, Ma Shan woke up, and looked at Yan Jinxuan with gentle eyes.

"Second master, you're back." Su Shanyun exclaimed delicately.

"Well, aren't you sleepy?" Yan Jinxuan asked with a smile at her.

"It's fine."

"You go back to sleep."

"I serve you to bathe."

"No, I'll do it myself." He whispered softly, gently kissing her on the forehead.

………………

Five days later, Zhenxiong sent back news that all the 100 people sent by Yan Jinxuan and Du Bai had been recruited, but because they had to sign a contract when recruiting, they were absolutely not allowed to disclose any information to the outside world, otherwise they would be killed. So they couldn't get any news about Dong Au from other people's mouths, and Dong Au didn't appear recently, and only gave orders in the form of documents.

They also said that Dong Wa is currently recruiting troops not only in Zhenxiong, but also in Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi.

Yan Jinxuan, the third prince and Du Chenghuan immediately informed the emperor of the news.

At the same time, the people sent by the emperor to investigate also brought back the same news.

The emperor immediately ordered Du Chenghuan and three other generals to lead troops to Zhenxiong, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan and Shaanxi to encircle and suppress Dong Wa.

On this day, Su Shanyun received a letter sent by Su Zixin.

The letter said that Guo had arrived in Beijing and asked Su Shanyun to come over to play when he was free.

Su Shanyun happened to have half a day of free time that day, so he took twenty entourages to Su Zixin's residence.

As soon as she stepped into the gate of the courtyard, Su Shanyun saw Guo Shi, who was dressed in red and green, coming out from inside with a smile.

Su Shanyun hurriedly saluted her.

Guo grabbed Su Shanyun's hand and said, "You are only six months pregnant, you are eight months older than others, and the child must have been a big fat baby when he was born." ”

Su Shanyun nodded and said, "I think so." ”

"You have a good appetite, don't you? Will you be picky? Guo asked with concern.

"Appetite was ok. I'm not very picky. Su Shanyun replied truthfully.

"That's good. Be careful with the threshold. Guo Shi said as he subconsciously held her.

Wait for the two of them to enter the house. Guo Shi hurriedly asked the maid to bring snacks and hot tea.

"You are pregnant, so you should not drink too strong tea, so I deliberately let the maid brew it lightly." Kwok said.

"Thank you!" Su Shanyun said busily.

Su Shanyun saw that the maid was a little familiar, so he asked, "Did you bring this maid from the island city?" ”

"Hmm. In order to save money, the master even fired the only subordinate. Now I'm here too. There must be more family affairs than before, so I brought her with me. ”

"That's fine." Su Shanyun nodded.

"I've always used her, and I don't really want to change someone." Kwok said.

"That's right." Su Shanyun smiled and nodded.

After taking a few sips of tea, Su Shanyun asked, "Have all those carvings of my uncle been handed over to the state?" ”

As soon as Guo Shi heard this, he immediately burst into laughter. He said happily: "It's all handed in, and the state has also given him a lot of money, and he told me last night that he would pay back the silver he owes you and the second master as soon as possible, so this is one of the reasons why I invited you over." ”

Su Shanyun smiled.

"I made sweet and sour preserved fish and hash browns, you can try them." Guo Shi brought a plate of steaming preserved fish and a plate of golden potato cakes to Su Shanyun.

Su Shanyun tasted everything.

When the sun was setting in the west, Su Zixin came back, and Yan Jinxuan came with him.

Seeing Yan Jinxuan, Su Shanyun's face immediately showed a sweet smile.

Yan Jinxuan, who had just entered the house, also immediately looked at her.

They looked at each other, and both of them smiled.

After everyone sat down, Su Zixin went into the inner room to get the silver, and Guo Shi followed in.

Six thousand taels of silver was not a small amount, so the two of them counted it extremely carefully, and counted it three times before leaving the room.

Su Zixin put two bags, one large and one small, on the table and said, "This thousand taels is returned to Shanyun, and these five thousand taels are returned to the second master." Count to see if there is a mistake in the number? ”

Yan Jinxuan and Su Shanyun glanced at each other.

Both of them felt a little embarrassed to count it like this, but everyone also knew that it was better to count the numbers in person, so they opened the bag containing the silver taels and looked at it symbolically, and then asked the next person to come forward and help count it.

When someone said the number was correct, they accepted it.

"Lord Yan, Shanyun, I was able to complete the work of writing the book and handing in the carvings so smoothly this time thanks to your help, thank you!" Su Zixin said sincerely.

"When everyone needs help, you don't have to be polite." Yan Jinxuan said with a smile.

"Will you stay for dinner tonight?" Su Zixin took the opportunity to invite.

"yes, I've got all the ingredients ready." Kwok said.

The two couldn't bear to brush off their kindness, so they complied.

Kwok immediately went to the kitchen to cook.

Su Zixin also went to help.

Su Shanyun and Yan Jinxuan also wanted to see if there was anything they needed help with, but they were stopped by Su Zixin when they walked to the kitchen door.

Su Zixin said with a smile: "We prepared the ingredients early in the morning, and now we just put them in the pot to cook, so I don't have to bother you." ”

The two went back to the living room.

Within two quarters of an hour, Su Zixin and Guo Shi had prepared a table full of dishes.

Su Zixin took out two bottles of old wine to drink with Yan Jinxuan.

Guo Shi and Su Shanyun ate slowly at another table.

"Shanyun, I specially cooked crucian carp soup, you drink more, this is good for pregnant women." Kwok said.

"Okay." Su Shanyun hurriedly replied.

Guo asked the maid to serve her a big bowl.

Su Shanyun couldn't help but praise after only taking two sips: "It's so delicious!" ”

"I first fry the crucian carp in oil until fragrant, and then add cooking wine, ginger slices and pepper, so it tastes sweet and has no fishy smell." Guo said with a smile. (To be continued.) )
