The ferocious eagle falcon that had returned thousands of miles fell back to the eaves of Baxiazhou, Guo Lin and Jin Sheng were overjoyed and rushed out to catch it first. The giant falcon may have been too tired from flying continuously, or perhaps let its guard down at the sight of its tame masters, and was meek like a big dove beside them.

Guo Lin took off the letterhead from it, stroked its dense flower feathers, and smiled apologetically: "It's really hard for you!" ”

"I'll go to the backyard and get it something to eat." Jin Sheng brought the falcon to his shoulder and stroked it up and down twice in love.

"Bring it in!"

The two of them looked up suddenly, only to see Sui Yu open half of the window and look at the falcon with a complicated look. How long has it been since the true owner of this falcon has seen it? Compared to the falcon that can still fly in the blue sky, Sui Yu is the finch trapped in the cage.

Jin Sheng grabbed the falcon and hurried back to the east room, the originally very spacious open hall of the bright room became a little small because of its appearance. The moment the eagle falcon saw Sui Yu, he suddenly spread his wings and stabbed at Sui Yu.

It still recognizes him, it misses him.

It rubbed the top of its head against Sui Yu's neck, and Sui Yu also stretched out his hand to rub its feathers.

"Read it." Sui Yu said to Guo Lin with a smile on his lips, "I guess General Gu will surprise us." ”

"It's going to be a fright." Guo Lin opened the letterhead, and before he could finish reading it all, his face had sunk to iron blue.

"Don't sell it, say it quickly!" Jin Sheng stepped forward and snatched the letterhead, and glanced at it hastily, "Master Hou, General Gu said that it was the people from the household department who had correspondence with Miao Zhi County. ”

"Tobe?" Sui Yu, who was still feeding the falcon to drink water, shook his long fingers, "Hubu Shangshu is still Li Shuyuan, right?" ”

"Exactly." Guo Lin scratched his head and said incomprehensibly, "We don't have any holidays with him, right?" ”

They always thought that it was the Empress Dowager Cao who controlled all this in the capital, could it be that they were wronged? Who else is more motivated than the Cao family?

"No?" Sui Yufeng's eyes were slightly raised, and he said with a smile, "As the reward that the Marquis of Jiansheng deserves, it should be issued from the household department." But did the Ministry send it to us? At the smallest, they are delayed, and at the largest, they are just deducting and greedy ink. Now they think I'm terminally ill, and there is no backbone in the house to take care of. If I don't go to the capital to make trouble, the court will collectively pretend not to know. What will you think when you go back to the house and swagger around but don't dare to go to the household department to ask for money? ”

"If Master Hou dies like this, the responsibility of the household department will be black and white, and it will be confused. But if Hou Ye is alive, it is strange that Li Shuyuan can sit firmly. Jin Sheng walked up to Sui Yu and lifted the falcon to his arm, "When we were in the capital, the household department was not as fast as the internal affairs supervisor. ”

"The internal affairs supervisor was directly ordered by Emperor Yuan Jing, and it was a reward given to me by the emperor privately." Sui Yu sat back on the circle chair, his eyes full of eyes on the eagle falcon that fluttered its wings, "The household department represents the Beili Imperial Court. Besides, Li Shuyuan and I do have a bit of a holiday. ”

Guo Lin suddenly recalled the incident a few years ago, and clapped his hands and shouted: "Back then, our Mozhou Iron Cavalry suffered a defeat because of the lack of supply of grain and grass. After the war, Hou Ye directly participated in Li Shuyuan's book, causing him to almost lose the position of the head of the household. ”

Sui Yu was suspicious and said, "Won't there be anyone else behind Li Shuyuan?" ”

Sui Yu didn't know Li Shuyuan as a person, and he didn't have much contact with the powerful ministers of the capital. used to do things vigorously and resolutely, not to people, maybe it was because of this that he offended Li Shuyuan. Now that he is in the hands of his opponent, he is holding the money that is related to Sui Yu's life and death, which seems to make sense.

"Did General Gu say anything else?"

"The others are clichés, let Hou Ye recuperate from his injuries and continue to lie on his salary and taste his courage."

Sui Yu was silent for a long time, "We have to check the bottom of Miao Jianqi and figure out his color to understand the relationship between him and Li Shuyuan." ”

"It's easy to do." Jin Sheng stroked the falcon on the crook of his arm and said, "The little one will go to Shengzhou again, Xu Youde's family has some influence in Shengzhou City." It shouldn't be difficult to bother them to inquire about individuals in the state government. The state yali's attention to the subordinate officials must be particularly clear. ”

"Wait until you and Sister Yun get married, and then go, and give me Miao Jian Qi to death now, we can't be in a hurry." Sui Yu moved his knee bones twice, "My leg is getting better and better, and I won't die." ”

The three of them laughed, and Jin Sheng took the falcon back to the backyard to feed. This one can rest for a while, and the other one has to be ready to fly.

He knew that after marrying Yun'er, he would have a greater responsibility. But the road has begun to go down, and there is no turning back. The master can turn around, so that he and Yun'er can have a good home.

"Yesterday, Miao Zhixian also met with the commander of the border army, Kang Zhen." Guo Lin remained in Dongzheng's room and explained, "Dongye's side is about to send an envoy to enter the country, and Miao Zhiqi is very nervous about this matter. ”

"Kangzhen?" Sui Yu had vaguely heard the name, "How many troops does he have?" ”

"Less than 10,000. Seriously, with the current situation, if Dongye suddenly hits, Jinxian will undoubtedly be lost. The imperial court's vigilance against Higashino was worse every year. ”

……

But Biao Fengran went to the county with Shui Sheng to meet a few shop owners, she dressed as a maid and stood behind Yun'er to listen. Yun'er always subconsciously looked at her back. How many times have I practiced in the house, and in the future, I really have to take charge of Feng Ran outside, and Yun'er needs to change her role quickly.

It was hard for her, and it was a bit of a collapse for the first time today. Fortunately, there were aquatic and phoenix dyes playing a round on the side, and they barely survived.

On the way back, Yun'er wiped her tears on the carriage, and shouted that she wanted Feng Ran to change people, and she might not be able to do this job well.

Feng Ran didn't care how much he comforted, and in the end, Shui Sheng pulled the curtain of the carriage from the front, and said half-excitedly and half-teasingly: "Sister Yun'er is not afraid that Brother Jin will be disappointed in you?" Brother Jin is entrusted with a heavy task on the Hou Ye's side, can't you be on the Madame's side? Look at me, I can't switch positions with Brother Jin! ”

Feng Ran slapped Shui Sheng's arm, and said with a smile: "Brother Shui, is this taking advantage of our sister Yun?" Can the groom be changed casually? ”

"I, I'm ......" Yun'er's cheeks were flushed, and she was speechless with shame and annoyance.

"Actually, I'm nervous too." Feng Ran said frankly, "I'm afraid that if I don't do it well, I will lose my capital." But if you can't go to school, who can do everything at once? ”

"Yes, yes, Madame said yes!" Outside the curtain, Shui Sheng replied, "Madame didn't know how to farm at all, but now she ......" He felt that he had given the wrong example, so he could only laugh and say, "Isn't it much better now?" ”

Yun'er was choked so much that she almost hiccuped, and looked at Shui Sheng with tears and laughter. After a long time, he gritted his teeth and said, "Then I'll continue to try." ”

The climate gradually cooled, and nearly 30 stones of rice were finally husked. There was so much extra grain in the warehouse of the Hou Mansion at once, which made Feng Ran feel overjoyed. I am always worried that these rice will be stolen and eaten by weasels and rats who come to the door. Jin Sheng and Rong Wang were extra careful when handing over the keys to the various warehouses in the mansion, and those grains were the result of a few of them working hard for more than half a year.

Rong Wang and Sheng Wang took Jin Sheng's place, and Jin Sheng dared to let go of his marriage with Yun'er. Feng Ran has already helped them to make up the seven-seven-eighty-eight, and the rest is some minutiae. The cave room of the two is arranged in the robe building of the third courtyard, and the interior and exterior are particularly festive, and it is very heartwarming.

Painted gold frame bed, makeup, mirror frame, box jar, Mu Shi, and another deputy head face for Yun'er, a set of red Suluo large-sleeved robes, a long satin jacket and pleated skirt, etc. As if she regarded Yun'er as her own sister, she and Jin Sheng were no longer servants when they left the door of the Marquis Jiansheng's mansion.

But when the day of the two getting married, Feng Ran's mood became low. Accustomed to seeing her giggling all day long, and suddenly so depressed, Sui Yu was always worried that she would hold back her illness.

He staggered to the west main room, and saw Feng Ran lying listlessly on the couch.

"The façade on Yanbian Street is what you have seen in person." Sui Yu sat on the couch and sat on the Luohan couch, "Open the door in front to make a rice shop, and let Sister Yun and Jin Sheng live in the back." What else are you worried about? ”

Feng Ran raised his face slowly, his palm dragging up his cheeks, "Don't you want to buy two little girls anymore and sign the deed of life." ”

"Whatever you want."

"If Jin Sheng is not in the shop, I'm afraid Yun'er won't be able to cope with it by herself."

"Then take another little guy from the house, and you can rest assured that we are our own people." Sui Yu slowly stretched out an arm, wanting to hold her hand, "I know, you can't bear Sister Yun." If you want to buy the next person, buy a few more at a time, you can't have no one around you to serve, find two who are a little older. ”

Feng Ran's eyes were moist, and he said with a sour nose: "You have to get better quickly, and when you make a comeback, Yun'er and I can be together again." ”

"Heh~" Sui Yu laughed dryly, "Yun'er is so important to you?" More important than me? ”

Sui Yu was outrageously jealous, first the lover who gave Feng Ran a big gold bracelet, and then the son who picked it up halfway, and now even the vinegar of the little maid next to her has to eat a pot.

"You're not important." Feng Ran deliberately stimulated him, and counted with his fingers, "Daqi is the first in my heart, and a hundred acres of fertile land is the second...... If I have another puppy in the future, you will be next to the puppy. ”

"You!" Sui Yu's hand that was about to grab her arm and wrist finally withdrew, "I, I'm really ......"

"You have eaten so many of my herbs, and you have been taken care of by me for so long, of course you have to pay off your debts." Feng Ran winked at him, "Your net worth is all in my hands." ”

"Just a little money." Sui Yu casually flipped through several deeds on the couch table, all of which were signed with Yun'er or Jin Sheng's natal life, "A crude medicine shop, a velvet shop, and a satin shop, plus our own rice shop." There should not be much left of nine hundred taels of silver, right? ”

"With just this amount of money, it's not enough to open one of the shops alone. Each family only buys two or three shares, just to save them in an emergency. Three stores, as long as one of them can be profitable, we will make it. There are still a few months left until next spring, and you will see the results. ”

Sui Yu's heart was blocked, he felt that Feng Ran might have misunderstood him again. She explained to him in such detail the purpose of the various expenses, thinking that he was worried that she was spending money indiscriminately?

She is so polite to herself, not like she treats him as a husband but as a host.
