Chapter 51: Why Didn't You Protect Her?

Su Li knew that Chu Huai'an was here to settle accounts, and today she petitioned for a nun at the palace banquet, and she didn't discuss it with him at all, the calmer he was at the palace banquet, the more angry he was in his heart.

Su Li lowered her body, half of her face almost sank to the bottom, and she was a little hot from the hot water.

Chu Huai'an dragged a chair and sat next to him, and didn't speak, just crossed Erlang's legs and looked at Su Li, now that he is out of the palace, he has time to spend with her.

The hot water gradually lost its temperature, Su Li squatted and her legs were numb, and she finally lost the battle: "It was the Queen Mother who asked me to do this." ”

Chu Huai'an was not surprised by this answer, the palace is the place with the most secrets, but it is also the place where secrets cannot be hidden.

When Su Li entered the palace, she saw so many people, and she could think of whose order it was with her fingers.

Chu Huai'an still didn't speak, sitting lazily with his hands on his chest, watching Su Li's fumigated red skin regain its white and radiant skin little by little, only the cheeks were still a little crimson.

She wasn't bathing in petals, and no matter how low she pressed, he could easily see her curvy back hidden underwater.

When he came in, he only thought that it would be more convenient for interrogation, and he didn't have the slightest charming thought, but at this time, he tasted a little lively and fragrant, his throat was tight, and he was a little restless somewhere in his body.

"I didn't discuss today's matter with Hou Ye, it's my fault, and I will definitely not hide it from Hou Ye like this in the future."

"You didn't become a sister-in-law today, and in the future?"

Chu Huai'an raised his eyebrows and asked, his voice was slightly raised, and his eyes narrowed dangerously, obviously feeling that Su Li was perfunctory to him.

No, Su Li had to grit her teeth and agree: "In the future, I will confess to Hou Ye in everything, and I will never deceive Hou Ye!" ”

No deception?

This sound a little flattering, Chu Huai'an snorted, and turned his head to look at Su Li: "Then the master asked you, whose seed is that child?" ”

"The child is Lu Ji's."

Su Li replied without hesitation, and her eyes did not dodge in the slightest, Chu Huai'an's hand couldn't help but clench slightly, and after a moment of silence, she said, "Is it true that you were captured for three months?" ”

"Absolutely."

“……”

After Chu Huai'an left, Su Li sat for a while before wiping her body and lying on the bed, the water was a little cold, and her body warmed up after lying on the bed for a long time.

Because of Chu Huai'an's words, Su Li didn't sleep well this night, and had nightmares over and over again.

Not long after, the sky was bright, and the people got up early to prepare a meal to worship the New Year.

Su Li was woken up and was sitting on the bed in a daze, and asked Qibao's round-faced little girl to send clothes.

"This is made by the best tailor in the city, Sister Su, let's change it, spring will start in a few days, and spring clothes will be sent together."

Her small voice is also sweet, and it doesn't seem that she is deliberately close to her sister, Su Li has a good impression of her, and took a gold leaf to her as a New Year's red envelope.

"Thank you, Sister Su, Mrs. please ask Sister Su to change her clothes."

The little girl thanked her and left in a hurry, Su Li quickly changed into a set of blue jackets and skirts and walked out of the yard, and the white hosta given by Su Bangyue was put away by her, and she only used a silk ribbon to simply tie her hair.

The hour was still early, but as soon as she walked outside Chu Liu's courtyard, she heard a crisp and tactful laughter inside, and someone had come early to worship the New Year.

I was surprised and walked in, and there were seven or eight beautiful women sitting in the room.

"Su Li meets Madame, I wish Madame good health and all the best in the new year!"

She saluted, and Chu Liu was in a good mood to get her up, and beckoned to her for the first time.

Su Li walked to Chu Liu's side, Chu Liu's affectionately grabbed her hand and patted it, his eyes swept lightly over the people in the room, and said softly: "Ah Li is a clever person, and now she is serving Hou Ye closely, she is older than you, you should call her a sister, if you want to know, just ask her." ”

When the words fell, everyone called in unison: "Sister Su! ”

Su Li was a little dazed by this battle, pretending to be calm on her face, she withdrew her hand and folded it to her waist: "Ah Li doesn't dare to match the sisters, if you have anything you want to ask, just ask." ”

Her attitude was modest, everyone's eyes were shining, she opened her mouth but stopped talking, her little face was red, and she didn't dare to look at Su Li with a silk handkerchief.

After a while, a slightly bolder woman blushed and asked in a low voice, "Sister Su, do you know what kind of woman Hou Ye likes?" ”

“……”

Su Li finally knew what the Chu Liu clan was doing early in the morning.

She had mentioned to Chu Liu's family before that she wanted to persuade Chu Huai'an to marry, but because of the Dali Temple, Chu Liu's family couldn't wait at all, so she called someone to the house early and wanted Su Li to help with the recruitment.

As soon as the woman finished asking, everyone looked at Su Li, Su Li was a little pressured, and replied seriously: "Hou Ye likes to be good at women's popularity, soft-spoken, knowledgeable women, it is best to wear simple and elegant clothes every day, and it is best to make some delicious snacks, but don't be too ......sweet."

Su Li tried hard to recall what Su Wanyue looked like back then, and everyone listened humbly, wishing that they could write down all the pen and paper at hand.

After talking for half an hour, Su Li's throat was a little dry, Chu Liu asked people to serve tea, and waved his big hand and said: "Okay, that's all for today, you go back to embroider a purse first, and hand it over in five days." ”

"Yes!"

And the people should depart rejoicing.

It is not the official woman who came to the house today, although the background is not noble, but it is also an innocent and good family, looking at their appearance, they are very much looking forward to the family affairs that can climb to the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and it would be good if one or two intimate people could be selected to accompany Chu Huai'an.

Su Li drank tea and thought, Chu Liu rubbed his head on the side: "What does Ah Li think of these today?" ”

Her address to Su Li has naturally switched to 'Ah Li', as if she is just an ordinary elder.

"I think that Miss Zhang is not bad."

"You have some vision, the Zhang family is a dart game, the family is solid, Miss Zhang's brother has been practicing martial arts all the year round, and he is preparing to take the martial arts exam this year, if it is high school, it is barely worthy of caution."

Chu Liu nodded with satisfaction, she actually looked down on women with low backgrounds, and always felt that women with this kind of family background were too petty and childish, and they were not worthy of Chu Huai'an as a concubine, but now she was forced by Chu Huai'an, and she could only force herself to accept it.

"That's what Madame said."

Su Li echoed in a low voice, because she had made it clear that she didn't have any thoughts about Chu Huai'an before, Chu Liu was much more relieved to her, and asked with concern: "I heard that there seems to be a residual poison that has not yet been cleared, so let's go to the hospital more often, don't fall into any root cause." ”

"Mrs. Lao is concerned."

Su Li lowered her eyebrows and said pleasing to her eyes, she didn't sleep well last night, and today she was without makeup, her face was a little haggard, and she looked quite pitiful, Chu Liu couldn't help but sigh secretly.

Before, she didn't look down on Su Li, and her vision was very high, so she thought about finding an excellent woman for Chu Huai'an to match, but now when she looks at it again, she feels that Su Lili is thoughtful and exquisite, if she doesn't ruin her reputation, she should be a good candidate for daughter-in-law.

With emotion, Chu Huai'an walked into the house with a big stride.

Today, he wore an indigo brocade robe, the materials of the clothes were exquisite, and the chest and sleeves were embroidered with beautiful auspicious cloud patterns as usual.

Today is the first day of junior high school, he rarely gets up early, his eyes are still sleepy, but the corners of his eyes and eyebrows show joy, and he enters the door and pounces into Chu Liu's arms: "Mother! Happy New Year! You're looking so good today! ”

This person has been mixed in the fat powder pile all the year round, and his tongue is like a spring, and he coaxed Chu Liu's family to be happy with one sentence, and pulled him to speak happily, and the next person quickly cooked the rice balls and brought them in.

The next person served three bowls, and there was no one else in the house, Chu Liu asked Su Li to sit down and have breakfast together, Chu Huaian couldn't help but glance at Su Li.

He didn't know what private conversations Su Li and Chu Liu had back then, but he knew that Chu Liu had always disliked Su Li, and now Chu Liu's attitude was loose, which naturally surprised him a little.

After reading it seriously, he was a little careless when he ate, and when he ate the third rice ball, Chu Huai'an was cold and his teeth were broken, he snorted, frowned and spit out a golden bean from his mouth.

"Oh, what a lot! This year will be smooth and peaceful! ”

Chu Liu's eyes immediately smiled, and he was not too dirty, snatched the golden beans from Chu Huai'an's hand and handed them to Qibao who was waiting on the side.

This good fortune is lucky, it is clear that Chu Liu's deliberately let people cook it to give Chu Huai'an peace of mind.

Chu Huai'an wanted to get angry when his teeth were broken, but when Chu Liu said this, his anger was held in his heart, and Su Li couldn't help but smile and echoed: "May the Hou Ye be smooth and worry-free in the future." ”

Her tone was light, her expression was calm, but her eyes were brighter than usual, and Chu Huaian glanced at her.

Small, don't think you can't see that you're smiling!

After eating breakfast gently, Qibao came in from outside, and the golden bean was packed into a good-looking purse, tied to the palace silk and tied with a red rope, and respectfully handed it to Chu Huai'an.

Chu Huai'an took it with a dark face, and was about to put it in his sleeve pocket, but was restrained by Chu Liu's look: "Such a good color head, wear it with you, what is the old purse of yours, don't you throw it away?" ”

The purse she said was naturally the silver purse that Su Li saw yesterday.

As soon as he mentioned the purse, Chu Huai'an knew what Chu Liu was thinking, and his brows tightened: "I know what to do." ”

It means that he doesn't want the Chu Liu clan to interfere.

Today is the first day of the new year, and everywhere is full of New Year's joy, Chu Liu didn't want to argue with him too much, sighed and rubbed his eyebrows: "Sure enough, it's a big girl, it's just that, let's play with you, don't annoy me here!" ”

Chu Liu's face was disgusted when he spoke, and after a night, his panicked heart fell to the ground, and he heard that Chu Huai'an had done something to show his grievances, and he was very majestic, and his words returned to normal.

Chu Huai'an also knew Chu Liu's temperament, and he couldn't coax her at this time, and he would be nagged to death today.

He got up and patted his buttocks, saluted and withdrew.

Seeing that he was really gone, Chu Liu's family was depressed again, sighed and said in a low voice: "Master Hou is gone, don't do it here."

"Yes!"

Su Lifu saluted, turned around to leave, and was stopped by Chu Liu's again, turned around, Chu Liu's stared at her directly: "You are a smart one, you have done a good job in the prison of Dali Temple, and I am also relieved to have you by the Hou Ye's side."

She especially mentioned the matter of Dali Temple, the meaning of the beating was obvious, Su Li bowed her head and solemnly promised: "No matter when I am in danger, I will stand in front of the Hou Ye!"

She made this promise, in addition to the personal relationship between herself and Chu Huai'an in the past, but also the safety of the family army and the people of Saibei.

Chu Liu didn't know what Su Li was thinking, and when he heard her sincerely, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity......"

She still cared about Su Li's ruining of innocence, Su Li's expression was light, she retreated and left, and just walked out of the yard, she suddenly stretched out a hand behind her back to cover her mouth and nose.

Subconsciously, his elbow charged back to attack, and the elbow bone hit the ribs of the person behind him with a muffled sound, and Su Li broke away from the shackles and took two steps forward.

Turning around, Chu Huai'an squatted on the ground with a painful expression covering his ribs.

"Hiss~"

“…… Master Hou, why are you here? Su Li used an honorific title, and she couldn't help but want to laugh because she was afraid that this person would be angry.

She used all her strength just now, Chu Huai'an squatted on the ground for a long time and didn't get up, and yelled angrily: "Don't help me up!" ”

Su Li hurriedly stepped forward to help the person up, her chest and ribs hurt badly, Chu Huai'an pressed the weight of her body on Su Li, and Su Li stumbled before stabilizing her body.

He is so tall and heavy, he usually needs two little guys to support him when he is drunk, but now Su Li's small one is holding him steadily, Chu Huai'an doesn't know what kind of tempering this person's shoulders have gone through to become what they are now.

"What did my mother tell you early in the morning?"

He asked in a low voice, but his eyes were hooked by the white earlobes that were close to him.

The pinna of the ear was itched by the warm breath, and Su Li tilted her head, trying to dodge but exposing a large section of her white neck.

"Madame chose a few girls, and after a while, I want the Hou Ye to look at each other."

Su Li replied sincerely, and Chu Huai'an laughed lowly: "Since you are the candidate for this lady, what is the reason for calling you to take a look at it first?" ”

"Madame, let me tell them about Master Hou's preferences."

As soon as the words fell, the earlobes were hot, and they were taken into their mouths, and their teeth were bitten thinly.

The blood quickly rushed to her face, the blood boiled and burned the thin skin, Su Li was frightened and wanted to push this person away, the wrist wrapped in gauze was buckled, slightly forced, the wound was shallow and painful, so that she did not dare to struggle.

"The people in the master's courtyard have served the master for many years, which one doesn't know the master's preferences better than you, and it's your turn to ask you?"

Chu Huai'an asked rhetorically against Su Li's ear, the breath he exhaled was much hotter than just now, he said in the palace before that he would bite Su Li, and now he really bites.

"Master Hou doesn't like it, I'll go and refuse Madame."

She said that she wanted to break free, and the man pinched her waist: "What's the hurry? Did you say you didn't like it? I want to see what you pick out for you in the end! ”

His tone seemed to be teasing, but his expression was a little heavy, and Su Li didn't dare to speak again to make him crazy.

helped him back all the way, and from a distance, Sizhu ran over with concern: "Master Hou, what's wrong with you?" Her eyes wandered, and she didn't dare to look at Su Li, because of Su Li's previous questioning, her heart was very weak.

Chu Huai'an was still lying on Su Li's shoulder and didn't move the nest, and replied lazily: "It's okay, let the kitten scratch it." After speaking, he pinched Su Li's waist and asked Su Li to help him into the house.

Chu Huai'an's small movements were made secret, but the smile on the corner of his lips had already made others see the intimate relationship between him and Su Li.

Sizhu stood by the door, his chest empty, and he was cool and cold.

When he entered the house, he yelled and wanted to eat the pastries of Zuihualou, sent Sizhu away, and lay down on the bed, crying out in pain.

This person has not been the master of rules since he was a child, Su Li searched in the house for a while, and quickly found the medicinal wine to cure bruises.

Turning back to the bedside, Chu Huai'an's clothes were wide open, and he opened his underwear, revealing a large white waist, and a cloud of purple on his chest and ribs looked quite terrifying.

Su Li poured the medicinal wine and rubbed it hot in his hand, and then it was attached to him and kneaded.

At that moment, she used all her strength, and as soon as her hand went up, Chu Huai'an hissed and gasped, Su Li felt a little guilty when she heard it, but her hand was not ambiguous, and she was full of strength.

The pain was so bad, this person grabbed Su Li's hand, his eyes turned red, and he gritted his teeth and asked viciously: "Little thing, waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on me?" ”

"No, the bruises must be rubbed away vigorously, otherwise you won't be able to get up tomorrow."

Su Li lowered her eyes and said seriously, she learned some fur from Yue Yan at the border pass, and she could also help deal with some simple injuries, and she naturally started with severity, and she also pointed to Chu Huai'an to help investigate the corruption case, and it was not good for her to be injured.

There was a commonplace indifference in her tone, and Chu Huai'an immediately thought that there were a bunch of rough men in the border barracks, and he was suddenly a little dissatisfied: "How do you know so much?" Who else have you helped rub? ”

"There are a lot of people, and I don't know Master Hou when I say it."

"What about Lu Ji? Rubbed it for him too? Chu Huai'an asked, he didn't know why he didn't want to admit defeat in his heart, he didn't know others, but he didn't know Lu Ji?

"Kneaded."

"How is the master compared to him?"

“……”

What is there to ask about this?

Lu Ji has been stationed at the border all the year round, and he is an iron-blooded tough guy, both in terms of body and temperament, and he can't be compared with the carefree marquis who is crawling and rolling in the beautiful country in Beijing.

Not to mention Lu Ji, none of the soldiers in the Gu family's military camp are soft, and even the flesh and blood are iron.

Even if he disembowels his belly, as long as there is still a breath left, he can still go into battle to kill the enemy, where can he keep shouting pain like him?

But Su Li can't say this, and when she says it, this master can't hold his face, and he can't turn his face with her?

After thinking silently for a while, Su Li tried to find his merits: "Hou Ye is whiter than the general......"

That is, Lu Ji was exposed to the wind and sun at the border, and his skin was so rough that he couldn't do it, how could he compare with his master?

Chu Huai'an was a little satisfied, let go of Su Li and let her continue to rub herself, waiting for her to continue to praise, but after waiting for a long time without a sound, he turned his head to look, and this person helped him rub the medicinal wine with a focused face.

"That's all there is to it, nothing else?"

“……”

Su Li's face was innocent, and Chu Huai'an's face immediately sank, okay, this little thing is turning around and scolding him for his little white face!

Just as he was about to get angry, there was a knock on the door, and Chu Huaian subconsciously shook off Su Li's hand and took off his underwear.

It's the first day of the new year, and if people see that this little thing has injured him, there will be no good fruit to eat.

"Go open the door!" Chu Huai'an commanded, stuffed the medicinal wine in Su Li's hand under the pillow and hid it, and lowered his head to tidy up his clothes.

Opening the door, Sizhu came back with a small snack, the dim sum was wrapped in oiled paper well, and the sweet aroma wafted out, but it did not hide the smell of medicinal wine in the air.

Seeing that it was Sizhu, Chu Huaian breathed a sigh of relief, and was not in a hurry to fasten his belt, and walked over lazily.

As soon as Su Li was rubbed, the medicinal effect of the medicinal wine began to attack, and the bruise was no longer painful, and it was warm and hot.

"How is it so fast?"

He asked casually, took the snack and opened it, pinching a piece in his mouth.

Sizhu guessed that he had deliberately pushed himself away just now, and he didn't ask who was injured, so he intimately poured a cup of tea for Chu Huai'an, and waited for him to swallow what was in his mouth before taking out a greeting note from his sleeve pocket: "Master Hou, the slave met Gongzi Jia in the Drunken Flower Building, he asked Master Hou when he had time, and wanted to ask Master Hou to go to Lanyue Pavilion to play together." ”

The prayer post was vermilion, and it was a little wrinkled, and when Chu Huai'an opened it, Su Li glanced at it, and the words were very ugly, and the writing was quite vulgar.

Chu Huai'an quietly swept the contents of it, threw the worship post aside, thought about it and asked Sizhu: "Is his mouth still sharp?" ”

As soon as these words came out, Sizhu glanced at Su Li with a strange look in his eyes, this Jia Gongzi was none other than the person who was blocked by Su Li with a wine glass at the birthday banquet in Shangshu Mansion that day.

"Jia Gongzi stammered a little when he spoke."

Sizhu replied truthfully, Chu Huai'an ate another piece of pastry, and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "This person is very fat, and he dares to hand over a letter of worship to the master after being like this." As he said this, he smiled, and the corners of his eyes showed shrewd calculation, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

The morning passed quickly, and it was almost noon, and the Chu Liu clan sent Qibao to remind Chu Huai'an to enter the palace to pay New Year's greetings to the Queen Mother.

Although Chu Huai'an only came out of the palace last night, he still has to go to worship the New Year today.

When Qibao came, he held Ganoderma lucidum and snow ginseng, and put it in a fine mahogany box, and the outside of the box was carved with lifelike Rui beasts, which were more expensive than snow ginseng.

There is nothing lacking in the palace, but the mind still has to be prepared.

In previous years, Chu Huai'an was willful and looked down on these false gifts, it was Chu Liu's family who accompanied him into the palace with these, but this year, Chu Liu's family said that he was sick and did not accompany him, looking at these gifts, he himself also figured out a little taste.

The Queen Mother hurts him again, in the final analysis, it is also the Queen Mother, not his mother.

Hurriedly put the gift up, he stepped forward to go out, raised his finger and pointed at Sizhu: "Follow the master into the palace!" After speaking, he looked at Su Li again: "Stay honest, don't cause any trouble for you!" ”

After speaking, he swaggered out with Sizhu.

Su Li didn't stay honest as he said, and waited for him to go out on the front foot, changed into men's clothes by himself, and went out on the back foot.

The two sleeve pockets were filled with the rewards of these days, and the sleeves were heavy, Su Li had a clear goal, and walked briskly towards the pawnshop.

She lives in Xiaoyao Mansion and is not short of money, but the Gu family is short of soldiers.

The corruption case has not yet been concluded, the snow disaster in Saibei is serious, and the disaster relief funds of the imperial court have not gone down, Lu Ji killed the grain transport envoy in a fit of rage, and the military food was cut off, Su Li must exchange these things for money as soon as possible, and then find someone to buy grain and grass to escort back to solve the urgent need.

The people in the pawnshop are all elites, and they know that the people who go to the pawnshop are because they are in a hurry and lack of money, and the bid is very low.

Chu Huai'an's blank jade for Su Li that day was still there, and Su Li was not polite when she went to the pawn shop, and directly took out the white jade to point out her identity, she was a person from the Marquis Mansion.

The pawn shop guy knew that she had a background, so he immediately nodded and welcomed her into the backyard of the pawnshop, and served hot tea: "Childe, please use tea!" Sit for a while, and our boss will be there in no time. ”

Su Li pursed her lips and held the shelf, although she had Chu Huai'an's name, she couldn't easily show her cowardice in front of these profiteers.

Knowing that this is a big deal, the guy brewed her the best Biluochun, and the tea fragrance was overflowing, but the people who made the tea were not very good.

Su Li leisurely plucked the tea leaves with the tea lid, only smelled the fragrance of the tea, and did not eat.

After sitting for about half a cup of tea, there was a light footstep sound.

"Young Master, please!"

Turning his head, a tall figure walked in from outside the door.

Su Li was a little surprised, she originally thought that the bosses of the pawn shop were all old men in their thirties and forties, but she didn't expect that what walked in was a handsome man wearing a snow-white brocade robe.

The man is only in his early twenties, with a tall skeleton, but his body is quite thin, his skin is abnormally white, against the light, Su Li can almost see the blood-red veins that flow down the thin skin.

The cold wind swirled around the light medicine box on the man's body and invaded the tip of Su Li's nose, and within a few steps of entering the door, the man coughed seven or eight times, his pale cheeks were dyed crimson, and fine sweat appeared on his forehead, as if he would not be able to go up and carry it in one breath the next moment.

Seeing him so weak, Su Li felt a little guilty inexplicably, and she had already changed her pawn shop if she knew it, so as not to alarm this person to brave the cold wind and run away.

"Shopkeeper, I'm sorry, I let you run in person."

Su Li apologized first, a little unsure how to negotiate the price for a while, what if the negotiation collapsed, what if the person was angry and vomited blood?

"This son doesn't have to be so polite, if you open the door to do business, you have to run all over the world."

The man whispered, his voice was soft, his confidence was not very strong, he could hear that he was suffering from a perennial stubborn illness, and there was a faint depression in the corners of his eyes.

The smell of the medicine was very strong, and just smelling it made Su Li frown, but this person's face did not change, he drank the medicine in one gulp like drinking sugar water, and wiped the medicine stains from his lips with a towel after drinking it.

After wiping it, I saw that Su Li's brows were still twisted because of the smell of medicine in the room, and he pinched the candied fruit next to the medicine bowl and handed it to Su Li: "If you eat a candied fruit, you won't be able to smell it." ”

When he said this, he had a very faint smile on his face, as if it was not him who was sick and drank medicine, but Su Li.

Su Li was a little stunned, and the man didn't withdraw his hand, and said lightly: "I've been sick all year round, and I can't do it if I don't drink medicine, so I'm really embarrassed to smoke my son." ”

“……”

Drink a pill and apologize? This is the first time Su Li has encountered it.

After being stunned at first, Su Li hurriedly took the candied fruit and stuffed it into her mouth: "It's not smoked, the shopkeeper is too polite." ”

The sweet and sour taste spread in the mouth, quickly suppressed the bitterness in the nose, and the brows relaxed, Su Li did not waste time, and took out a few things in her sleeve pocket at random and put them in front of the man.

"I want to do all this, and I'll come back in a few days, so please ask the shopkeeper to estimate the price."

Red coral earrings, Lantian jade bracelets, and pearl necklaces of excellent color are not vulgar objects, although they are not priceless treasures, but they can be sold for a high price in a rouge shop.

The man also fed himself a candied fruit, chewed slowly, his eyes swept over those things casually, and said lightly: "Childe, these things are genuine and good." ”

There is no valuation, but it is plain to say that these are good things.

Does this shopkeeper know how to do business or what?

Su Li was suspicious in her heart, and asked in a low voice: "Can you get an idea?" ”

It's not like she hasn't encountered this situation before, some pawnshop guys paid a high price, took the things, and when they wrote the pawn ticket, they ran out of a shopkeeper to lower the price, anyway, the things were already in their hands, and if they didn't agree, they would rob them.

When the words fell, this person's eyebrows and eyes were bent into a beautiful crescent, he wanted to laugh but coughed, and coughed with his hand to cover his lips and replied: "Ahem, don't worry, Childe, you have the token of Xiaoyaohou in your hand, and the small shop will not pit you." ”

Seriously?

Su Li was still suspicious, the man coughed so much that he couldn't say a whole sentence, his porcelain white hand knocked on the coffee table, and after a while, the guy walked in with a thick account book and a stack of silver tickets.

The man gradually stopped coughing, took the account book from the man's hand, and someone offered pen and ink, he took the pen, wrote down the year, month and day on the account book gently, pointed to the things on the table and asked: "A pair of coral earrings, thirty taels, a Lantian jade bracelet, forty taels, a string of pearl necklaces, seventy taels." All the objects are mortgaged, if the son wants to redeem in the future, he can redeem it with documents, so can he be satisfied? ”

This price was much higher than Su Li expected, Su Li didn't know if this person was looking at Chu Huai'an's face and offered such a high price or something else, but she was sure that in the entire Yuanzhao Kingdom, no one would bid higher than the person in front of her.

Thinking about this clearly, Su Li said decisively: "I want to die!" These three things have risen by ten taels each, and the money and goods are cleared today, and it is up to you to decide what to do with the things! ”

When she said this, she had the ruthlessness of a northern soldier in her eyes, and she was very seductive.

The man shook his head with the pen, but did not make it difficult, but only responded: "Good! ”

Half an hour later, Su Li's sleeves were empty, and there were nearly 1,000 taels of silver tickets on her waist.

Xu is bookkeeping consumes too much energy, the man's face is much whiter than when he first came in, he wrote the bill, waited for the ink to dry, and handed the bill to Su Li.

There are a lot of pawn things, and the bill is written on three pages, in duplicate, one for Su Li, and one for the pawnshop to keep the stub.

Su Li took the bill and looked at it seriously, and at the end of the day, she saw the payment: peace and worry-free.

On the top of the three characters, there is a red private seal.

Although the surname An is not a national surname, there are not many surnames in Kyoto.

Su Li's eyelids jumped slightly, but the silver ticket had already been obtained, and she couldn't return the silver ticket just because this person's surname was An.

Gritting her teeth, Su Li took the pen and signed her name, and bit her fingerprint on the pestle on her fingertips, and the deal was done!

Su Li gave An Wuwu a copy, stuffed her share into her sleeve pocket, and bowed to An Wuwu: "Shopkeeper An, thank you!" ”

She pretended not to see anything special about this surname, and when she finished speaking, the man coughed and said slowly: "I heard that there is a little boy with pink carving around Hou Ye recently, that little boy is a daughter, but the third lady who has run away from home for five years in Shangshu Mansion, can you know the son?" ”

He said it so clearly that he almost named Su Li's identity, Su Li stopped and looked back at him: "I am the person the shopkeeper said, I don't know what the shopkeeper commanded?" ”

Su Li confessed, and the man hooked his lips and smiled, folded the bill into small pieces and stuffed it into his sleeve pocket and stood up.

"The third miss doesn't have to be so nervous, I heard that my An's son accidentally hurt you at the palace banquet yesterday, this son is reckless, today the third miss happened to come here to pawn, and Wuwu took the initiative to give the third miss some compensation, if the third miss needs it in the future, you can come here, and you will do your best to help!"

This is said very appropriately, the way to behave in the world is to fight with the concubine An in the palace, and it is not at all as reckless as An Jue.

Su Li had heard before that the eldest young master of the An family, An Wuwu, was injured in his mother's womb, congenitally deficient, frail and sickly, and lived in a simple house, few people had seen his true face, but he didn't expect him to be the shopkeeper of this pawnshop.

"Thank you, shopkeeper!"

Su Li thanked him again, which can be regarded as acknowledging his affection.

She's just a woman, how can she take An Jue? An Jue was at the banquet, it was she who hurt her, but it was Chu Huai'an's face that she stepped on, she got cheap and said that she didn't care, Chu Huai'an didn't care about it, it was not something she could manage.

With such an abacus in her heart, Su Li replied very sincerely, and An Wuwu bowed slightly, which was satisfactory for such an answer.

Su Li said goodbye and left, and the guy in the store took the stove and cloak to An Wuwu, and after thinking about it, he asked puzzledly: "Young master, so many silver taels, is it really just given to her directly?" ”

An Wuwu held the stove, the smile on his face dissipated, the corners of his lips pressed down, and the corners of his eyes leaked a bit of coldness: "The bills are all up, do you want to grab them back if you don't give her a word?" ”

"......"

"She is a person from Xiaoyaohou, have you forgotten that the capital was full of turmoil five years ago?" An Wuwu asked lightly, the guy was so asked by him that he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and then heard him whisper: "Xiaoyao Hou has become a wronged envoy, so that the people below have been paying attention recently." ”

"Yes!"

……

Coming out of the pawnshop, Su Li went straight to the medical hall.

Just after Chinese New Year's Eve, more people came to the hospital, some accidentally ate bad stomachs, and some got drunk and injured people.

Su Li bypassed the noisy lobby of the medical hall, and soon found Yue Yan in the small room in the backyard of the medical hall, there were still a few patients waiting to be seen in the room, Su Li sat next to him and waited quietly.

Yue Yan listened to her words and wore a gray cotton coat, hiding her slender figure, she didn't know what method she used, she made her face sallow, and lit a few moles on her face, completely losing her softness from last time.

Su Li nodded with satisfaction, and finally waited until these patients were gone before closing the door and talking to Yue Yan.

Without waiting for her to speak, Yue Yan saw the gauze wrapped around her wrist at a glance: "Why are you injured again?" ”

"A little injury doesn't get in the way." Su Li took a sentence and took out a stack of silver tickets and put them on the table.

Yue Yan grew up in the bitter cold land of Saibei, and although he came to Kyoto this time to see a lot of prosperity and opened his eyes, he was still startled by what Su Li took out.

"This ...... Where did these come from? ”

"I took some things, you take these silver coins, there is a Quartet dart bureau in the north of the city, the shopkeeper is a reliable one, go to him in a few days and ask him to help buy some food and send it to the border pass, the dart master of their dart bureau is very experienced, you go back to the border with them." Su Li quickly said that this was the most perfect way she could think of.

"Present...... Leaving now? What should Ah Zhan do?! Yue Yan was a little nervous with the silver ticket, neither of them was on Gu Jiajun's roster, so he dared to return to Beijing from the border gate without authorization.

"You go first, and when the case of the grain envoy is completed, I will bring Ah Zhan back unharmed!"

Su Li assured that before she brought her child back to Beijing to enter the Su family's ancestral home, she was worried that if the grain transportation case was exposed, the Lu family would be implicated, and even Lu Zhan would not be spared.

After the corruption of military salaries was investigated, the Lu family was still there, and Lu Zhan returned to the Lu family after resuming his real name.

Yue Yan opened her mouth and wanted to say something but couldn't make a sound, Su Li has always had an idea, she can't say Su Li.

"Ah Li, I'll take care of the grain and grass, you...... You're here alone, be careful! ”

"Don't worry! I know what to expect! ”

Su Li patted Yue Yan's shoulder to comfort her, and grabbed a few pairs of medicine to nourish her body, and just wanted to ask the second sister if she had come to grab medicine in the past few days, a light gray figure walked in from outside the door, and looked at it, it was none other than Zhao Qi.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Li and Zhao Qi each sat in the private room of the teahouse with a stack of medicines.

"Zhao Vice Wei takes medicine for the lady? I wonder if Mrs. Zun and the fetus in her womb are okay? ”

Su Li drank tea, looked at the medicine bag in his hand and asked softly, Zhao Qi didn't recognize Su Li that day in the medical hall, and later investigated and knew that it was Su Li who came to the rescue.

"The inner body and the fetus in the womb are all right, thank you Miss Su."

Zhao Qi replied kindly, as if he didn't remember how he solemnly married Nu'er from Su Li five years ago.

The hand holding the teacup was slightly forced, and the knuckles were white, Su Li finally couldn't hold her breath, and took the lead in speaking: "Lord Zhao, what about the person I handed over to you five years ago?" ”

Why didn't you protect the person I handed over to you five years ago? Why didn't she and the child in her womb be protected as they are now?

“……”

Zhao Qi was silent, his lips pursed into a straight line, his face was tight, his hand on the table was clenched into a fist, and the green tendons on the back of his hand burst out, as if he would pounce on Su Li at any time.

Su Li's chest was blocked, and she looked at him without fear, if he dared to pounce, she would dare to bite him to death.

The air was filled with suffocating sadness, and Su Li urged in a cold voice: "Lord Zhao, answer me, where were you when He'er died?" ”

This sentence triggered a certain mechanism button, and Zhao Qi smashed the teacup in his hand with one palm, and the cup made a crisp sound, and fragments splashed in all directions.

"Miss Su, you really don't know what happened five years ago?"

Zhao Qi asked in a deep voice, the voice came out from between his teeth, revealing the ruthlessness of bloodthirsty, and the tails of his eyes were dyed scarlet, and he was extremely angry.

Su Li looked at it, her throat suddenly choked, some scared, some wanted to escape.

But her body was nailed to death, so she could only sit there and let Zhao Qi wedge the things she didn't know five years ago into her ears word by word.

"Five years ago, it was rumored that the third lady of the Su family lost her temper and eloped with the bandits, she was shameless, Xiaoyao Hou personally asked for orders to suppress the bandits, the first son Gu Yuanfeng accompanied him, and the two killed the bandits' den, and the bandit leader abolished Gu Yuanfeng with one hand, and Xiaoyaohou washed the entire bandits' den with blood!"
