Su Miao immediately said goodbye to Liang Qi. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Aftertaste waited for Su Miao at the gate of the villa, but did not enter the door, Liang Qi not only didn't care, but personally sent the four people to the second gate, and Su Miao and the four were flattered.
Saying goodbye again, the four of them turned around and left, Su Chan walked at the end, Liang Qi kept staring at her, she could feel it, the warm gaze that almost melted her gave her goosebumps layer after layer, it was unbearable. Su Chan's face darkened, and she quickened her pace, and at this moment, Liang Qi suddenly stretched out his hand and touched her back very gently, and the kindness that was about to overflow in the gentleness was about to overflow.
When her hand touched Su Chan's back, Su Chan was excited, subconsciously jumped forward, looked at Liang Qi in surprise, and frowned.
She reacted too much, Liang Qi was taken aback even if she was prepared, and her expression was very hurt for a moment, but she quickly calmed down, smiled, looked at Su Chan, and said in a gentle tone:
"That's great! Such a beautiful big girl, smart and healthy, your mother must be very happy to see you so energetic! ā
Everyone looked at her with stunned eyes, Liang Qi probably only used the adjective "healthy", which is more practical, as for whether the mother would be happy to look at Su Chan, Hu Shi remembered that Su Chan had not come to the door to propose marriage at this age, so he couldn't wait to take a feather duster to pump her a few more times.
"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, the folk girl will go back." Su Miao smiled wryly and repeated what she had already said several times.
Liang Qi came back to her senses from Su Chan's face at this time, although she was smiling, her expression looked like she was about to cry, she nodded with a smile:
"Go ahead."
The four of them turned stiffly and walked towards the gate with a puff of smoke.
Liang Qi looked at Su Chan's back reluctantly, she really cried at this time, two lines of tears fell silently, after a while, she wiped it with her hand, took a deep breath, her expression became firm, she whispered in a very firm tone to the direction where Su Chan's back had long disappeared in front of her:
"Child, it's my mother who is sorry for you, don't worry, my mother will never let you suffer again, my mother will definitely make you the most noble woman in the world, and the glory, wealth, brocade and jade food you deserve will be given to you!"
ā¦ā¦
Huiwei stood at the door of the garden, waited for a while, and saw Su Miao walking out of the gate as if he had escaped, he greeted him, and just wanted to ask "What's wrong", Su Miao stepped forward, grabbed his arm, and pulled him down the mountain. Looking behind them, Su Xian and the others also walked quickly, as if there were tigers chasing them behind.
After walking all the way to the foot of the mountain, the four of them breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What's going on?" Aftertaste took Su Miao's hand and asked.
"Brother Ah Wei, Brother Ah Wei, in Yuntai Temple, a group of red-haired monsters came to Yuntai Temple, and there was a monster who was also light and thin Sister Chan'er, and when he came up, he grabbed Sister Chan'er's hand and gnawed it, and was beaten by Sister Chan'er, but they all picked up the fire, what is the fire?" Chun Niang chattered, and when she was stuck halfway, she asked Su Chan.
"Arquebus." Su Chan replied.
"Yes, arquebus, it's terrible!" Chun Niang hugged her face with both hands, and her frightened expression was piled up all over her face.
"You already know." Su Miao glanced at the aftertaste and said that if he didn't know, he wouldn't have found Yuntai Mountain.
"Well, probably." Aftertaste replied slowly, paused, and explained, "The mission of the Kosi Kingdom is here, and it should have gone directly to Liangdu, but it is said that because of the ship problem, it is temporarily docked at Yuntai Island. ā
"Is His Royal Highness the King of Xiang responsible for greeting him?" Su Miao asked.
"Huh?" I was stunned for a while.
Su Miao was also stunned, paused, she stepped forward and whispered in his ear:
"I just saw His Royal Highness King Xiang in Yuntai Temple."
Aftertaste frowned.
"It's time for us to go back." Su Xian suddenly opened her mouth and said to Su Miao.
"Let's go back." Su Miao hadn't answered yet, and said to Su Miao first, "I let Brother Yan get on the boat first, you also go to the dock, go back at this time, go back to Tai'an Wharf about an hour, and go back to Xueyizhuang directly to rest when you arrive at Tai'an Wharf, your game tomorrow is in the afternoon, you have to go back to Xue Minglou directly when you get off the boat from Tai'an Wharf." ā
"Why are you going?" Su Miao asked.
"I'll go to the Haiphong Yamen, you wait for me on the boat, I'll go back." Aftertaste said.
Su Miao flattened her mouth, stared at him intently, and didn't speak.
"If you want to go along, then the eldest sisters will get on the boat first, and Miao'er and I will go on a trip, and then go directly to the dock in a while." After tasting it, I understood what Su Miao meant and wanted to follow, so he said.
Su Xian readily agreed, took Chunniang and Su Chan into the carriage when they came, and went straight to the port.
After getting into the car, Chunniang was still in shock, hugged her knees and was in a daze, suddenly jumped up, came to Su Chan, and said to her:
"Sister Chan, do you think that Her Royal Highness the eldest princess has always been very strange to you, she looks at you as if she is going to eat you!"
Su Chan was silent.
Su Xian was also silent.
Chunniang looked at Su Chan, and then at Su Xian, neither of them spoke, and Chunniang couldn't understand what was wrong with them, so she was in a hurry.
"Until we go back to Fengzhou, you will try to go out as little as possible during this time." Su Xian suddenly opened her mouth and whispered to Su Chan.
"Why?" Su Chan asked coldly.
"Don't talk back!" Su Xian reprimanded with a cold face.
Su Chan snorted, pursed her lips, and didn't look out the window.
Chun Niang didn't dare to speak anymore, she was afraid that she would provoke an incident and cause two people to quarrel again, and if the two of them quarreled, Sister Miao was not there, and she would be afraid.
Su Miao and Huiwei watched Su Xian's carriage go away, and Qiuhua appeared again, quietly leading the white long-haired horse of Huiwei.
After getting on the horse, he bent down and fished out Su Miao's body, and Su Miao sat down on the horse steadily.
There are a lot of dirt roads on Yuntai Island, most of the places still retain the original appearance of the island, because there is no deliberate road, Yuntai Island is a small island dominated by mountains, so there are many natural boulevards formed by trees, and the white horse gallops on the wide boulevard, because there is one more Su Miao immediately, the speed of the horse running is not fast, and Su Miao does not feel bumpy.
"Win?" After being silent for a while, Su Miao opened her mouth and asked about the aftertaste behind her.
"Hmm." The aftertaste responded faintly.
"In the end, it's not our two finals." Su Miao said with a grin.
"That's fine."
"Okay?" Su Miao turned her head, stared at his face without blinking, and asked, "You want to compete with me in the final?" ā
Aftertaste lowered his eyes and glanced at her, and replied lightly:
"Hope."
"You want to play with me?" Su Miao didn't expect him to admit it, and screamed in surprise.
"Why are you so surprised?" Puzzled, he asked rhetorically.
"I treat you as a lover, but you treat me as an opponent, and you still want to defeat me!" Su Miao couldn't accept it and shouted.
"Will you be defeated by me?" Aftertaste asked lightly.
Su Miao was stunned for a moment, tilted her head and thought for a long time, and replied solemnly:
"It's a bit difficult."
"What if I win?" The aftertaste is faint and asked.
Su Miao was blinded by his serious expression, looked at him with frowns for a long time, and asked with embarrassment:
"What do you want me to answer you? If you win, I'll give you a monkey? ā
"You're a monkey?"
"There's no going on with that." Because Su Miao didn't know what to say anymore, "Didn't you ask me to participate in the King Chef Competition just to compete with me in the King Chef Competition?" ā
She originally just asked casually, but she didn't know that she would say after the aftertaste:
"Wouldn't it be nice to have a formal competition before getting married?"
"Do you really think of me as an opponent?"
"I originally thought that your style was not suitable for the competition, but I didn't expect you to be able to compete until now, and it is getting smoother and smoother, I really want to compete with you."
Su Miao was dumbfounded, held back for a long time, and said in a crying and laughing tone:
"You actually want to marry your opponent!"
"These are two different things, you as a woman, you are what I like, so I want to marry you; You are my admirer as a peer, so I want to compete with you. Aftertaste said in a light tone.
What is going on with this sudden feeling of being a little happy, Su Miao couldn't hold back, pursed her lips and laughed:
"It's nothing to compare, but don't regret your marriage if you lose."
"I should say that." Aftertaste.
Su Miao grinned, paused, frowned again, and asked him softly:
"By the way, why does the eldest princess of Jingyang have another garden on Yuntai Island?"
"In her early years, she was in very poor health and needed hot spring recuperation, so she built a villa on Yuntai Island."
"The eldest princess of Jingyang is a little weird, I have only seen it a few times, she always asks me about Chan'er's marriage, just now I also said that the Wuwang Mansion is choosing a side concubine, and said that she heard that Chan'er has been very close to King Wu recently, who did she listen to, I heard her mean how she wants to pinch Chan'er and Wuwang's side concubine together, even if the girl in our family is poor, it is not rare to be a concubine, not to mention the prince's side concubine, even if it is the emperor's concubine, Chan'er will not do it!" Su Miao was a little angry when she mentioned this.
"The emperor has no shortage of concubines." Aftertaste said.
"Is that the point?" Su Miao snorted.
Aftertaste was silent for a while, and suddenly said:
"Let me ask you, are you and Sister Chan really twin sisters?"
Su Miao frowned: "Of course it is, why do you even ask that?" ā
"Because the two of you are not like each other at all, even if you, the eldest sister and Yan'er are not twins, they can be seen to be a family from their appearance, but Sister Chan'er doesn't look like any of you, she is really born to your mother?"
"She wasn't born to my mother, she was born to your mother?" Su Miao was angry and asked angrily.
When I saw that she was angry, I didn't speak.
"What the hell are you trying to say?" Su Miao held back the fire in her stomach and asked stiffly.
"Nothing." Aftertaste replied obediently.
"Say whatever you want!" Su Miao frowned.
"There's not much to say."
He didn't say anything, Su Miao didn't want to hear it, and after being silent for a long time, she suddenly whispered:
"Although I think it's unlikely, I still have to say that you are my choice, no matter what happens between us, I can accept it, but if our relationship affects the Su family, and someone hits the eldest sister and Chan'er, don't blame me for turning my face."
"Hmm." Aftertaste nodded obediently.
"To be a concubine, don't even think about it!"
"Yes."
"Our girls aren't that cheap!"
"Yes."
"If you dare to take a concubine......"
"Yes."
"I haven't said it yet."
"You say."
"I haven't thought about it yet, I'll talk about it when you accept it." Su Miaoyin said compassionately.
The aftertaste is speechless.
"By the way, Corsi has arquebuses in the country." Su Miao's mood came and went quickly, remembering the green-eyed man just now, and suddenly asked, "Is Yue Liang state-owned?" ā
"Sort of, it's the pear flower gun we had before the war, the pear flower gun is similar to the arquebus, it took the gunpowder master five years to painstakingly study and produce, but after the war, the merchants from the west of the country of Kosi brought arquebuses, and the country of Kosi is more powerful than us. Three years ago, the emperor bought a batch of arquebuses from Kosi, but the advisers of Kosi are very powerful, and while Yue Liang is improving arquebuses, Kosi is always one step ahead of us in firearms. ā
"So there are other countries to the west of Corsi?"
"The world is so big, it can't be just these few countries, it's just too far away to know." Aftertaste smiled.
Well, she didn't ask.
"I heard the little monk in the temple say that the bandits in Kosi are very powerful, and they have even gone to the island to rob people before?"
"Liangdu is near the sea, since the beginning of the dynasty, the navy of Yueliang has always guarded the coast of Liangdu, there are a total of eighteen small islands like Yuntai Island, only seven are inhabited, and there are few people living there, and the sea bandits of Kosi are as erratic as ghosts, so the general navy did not pay much attention to it in the past. It was because the emperor did not even pay attention to it during the period that the current emperor had to have a fierce war with the Kosi country after he ascended the throne, and after the war, he rebuilt the navy, strengthened the coastal defense, and there were warships patrolling back and forth at sea every day, and the treasury began to be unable to make ends meet from then on. ā
"That's amazing! I always thought that Yueliang was a peaceful and prosperous country, but it turned out that there was such a serious war. ā
"Peaceful and prosperous? You don't seem to know anything, so does the Blood Yin Sect, you didn't even know that Yue Liang Guo and Kexi Kingdom had fought before, even if you are a girl's family, Fengzhou is not a rural village, what big battles Yue Liang Guo has fought Even if you listen to gossip, you should probably have heard of it. And you have forgotten the days you lived when you were a child, when Yue Liangguo began to improve, you were ten years old, why didn't you know what happened before? When you were six or seven years old, the Fengzhou Blood Yin Sect was the main culprit, how could it be peaceful? It's like you've just come to Yueliang Country halfway, and you don't know anything. Aftertaste said speechlessly.
Su Miao was speechless, and retorted with a stiff neck: "I'm not interested in those things, okay, where do I remember the things that are six or seven years old, you are so verbose!" So, is Yue Liangguo actually very poor? ā
Aftertaste raised his eyebrows: "Yueliang is not poor, it is not poor to say that it is poor, and the people are not poor and the treasury is poor." ā
"A country with an emperor can actually achieve that the people are not poor and the treasury is poor, so to speak, your uncle, the emperor, is actually very powerful." Su Miao couldn't help but say.
"The emperor has always wanted to reproduce the Taikang prosperity in the early days of the Yueliang Kingdom." It's a pity that most of his life has passed, and he is still powerless, Liang Shuo inherited the most declining period of Yue Liang Kingdom, and it is too difficult for his generation to reproduce the prosperous era, and it would be good to be able to smoothly transition Yue Liang Kingdom to the next generation.
