Chapter 49: A Chance Encounter Out of the City

Anyway, Su Ziheng is still his fiancΓ© on his face, where is the reason to give a woman to his husband? Even if Liu Sijun is only eight or nine years old now, she is still a yellow-haired little girl who doesn't know about people, and she can't do such a thing.

Thinking of this, Zhao Wan'er sighed in her heart, forget it, first receive it by her side, slowly adjust it, and talk about it later, maybe she also has her own chance.

"Xiaojun, since you are a girl, let's join your sister Xi'er for the time being. Learn to do it slowly, and when there is something you are interested in later, I will ask someone to teach you well. ”

Counting it up, the dignified Zhao family has a daughter, and there is only one personal maid by her side, and it is indeed a bit shabby to spread it.

When Liu Sijun heard that the eldest lady wanted to stay by her side, she was excited again, and wanted to kneel down and kowtow to thank her, but Zhao Wan'er stopped her.

"Xiaojun, remember that you are the person next to me, you have to be a little backbone and arrogant, don't kneel and kowtow at every turn, you will lose face if you go out like that."

Liu Sijun's face turned red, and he said loudly: "Miss, the little one promises not to embarrass you." ”

Zhao Wan'er smiled with relief and commanded: "Xi'er, you take Xiaojun to the account room where to bring the account books of the last two months, I want to check that the business of those shops is not good, and everything that should be cleared must be planned in advance." ”

"Yes, Miss, the slave will do it." Xi'er replied crisply and walked out with Liu Sijun.

Zhao Wan'er's thoughts suddenly floated at this time, and the ghost sent Su Ziheng to think of it. Thinking back to her meeting with him, and then synthesizing the results of her own investigation, she found that she couldn't understand what kind of person he was.

……

……

The carriage slowly drove out of Xining City, and when queuing up to leave the city, Su Ziheng clearly felt that the strict inspections on both sides of the city and out of the city were different. When leaving the city, as long as the people in front go out and the people behind follow out, the soldiers defending the city will not do too many inspections at all.

Instead, they all held their spears in their hands and watched closely in the direction of the city, and at the slightest movement in the crowd, they would immediately pounce on them with guns and beat up the unruly ones.

According to Su Ziheng's visual observation, the queue entering the city at this moment has been discharged for several miles, and there is no edge in sight. Then he looked sideways at the guards who entered the city, and asked everyone to the bottom of the matter, and those who could take out the road guide were quickly put in, and if there was nothing and could not say what reason they had for entering the city, nine times out of ten they were blocked out of the city.

He couldn't help frowning, "According to this inspection method, it may not be possible to finish the inspection before the sun sets today." What's more, there must be a steady stream of people coming over at the back, how will we get into the city when the time comes? ”

Old man Sun grinned, "Young Master Su, don't worry about this, we are very familiar with the carriage and horse shop and the city gate guards, and we can let the guards lead us in when the time comes." ”

Su Ziheng sneered: "It must be that this city gate guard has a part in your carriage and horse shop, or your boss has made offerings to him every month, otherwise where did such a good thing come from?" ”

Old man Sun smiled dryly, "This old man doesn't know, anyway, every time he goes in and out and the soldiers who defend the city, they know each other, and they will give some face." ”

Ji Xiaoxiao's eyes flashed when he heard this, the expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he continued to talk and laugh with Zhang Wanqing and the others.

Su Ziheng also complained casually, in fact, no matter where it is, as long as there is a crowd, this kind of interpersonal relationship will inevitably appear. Suddenly, he was a little excited and said: "Let's speed up and strive to go early and return early, it's already a little unsafe outside." ”

Looking at the long line, there were already signs of commotion, and many people who were stopped outside the city and were not allowed to enter suddenly panicked. Although it is a scorching summer, and the weather is hot and does not freeze to death, but if you don't eat anything for a long time, you will starve to death.

If there is still a glimmer of life in the city, if you stay outside the city, it is estimated that there is only a dead end. Either starve to death, or be killed and eaten meat by hungry people who are dying of hunger.

After traveling a few miles, when passing by a low hill, Su Ziheng suddenly noticed with a keen eye that there was a carriage parked on the hill, which was quite familiar, just like the carriage of the maid who didn't know where to come when he gave a gift to Xiaoya yesterday.

Su Ziheng asked, "Old Suntou, have you seen that carriage before?" ”

Old man Sun looked in the direction of Su Ziheng's finger and said in surprise: "Isn't that the carriage of the second lady of the Zhong family, why did you get out of the city today." ”

Su Ziheng asked suspiciously, "Who is the second miss of the Zhong family?" ”

Old man Sun said, "Miss Zhong Qinghan and Second Miss Zhong." ”

"Is it her? It's strange, I don't know her, why did she give a gift to Xiaoya? Su Ziheng muttered to himself, and then seemed to remember something, "Could it be that she helped her defend herself in Nuanxiang Pavilion that day, and when she heard it, she had a good impression of herself, and she specially gave a gift when she was apprenticed to Xiaoya?" ”

Although it is not a precious thing, it is also a heart. If you have the opportunity to meet in the future, you will have to thank you in person, not only because of the gift, but also because of the last time she helped herself out of the siege at the door of the Warm Fragrance Pavilion.

It can be seen from this that Zhong Qinghan is not a witch as advertised by outsiders, but it is worth befriending. It's just that time is pressing today, so try to delay outside the city as little as possible.

Su Ziheng retracted his gaze and said lightly, "Let's go." ”

"Drive!" Old man Sun was about to shake the reins and let the carriage run, when suddenly his eyes froze, and he looked at the woods on the east side of the hill, and there were figures and buildings.

"Phew!" Old man Sun hurriedly pulled the reins and slowed down the carriage. pointed at the forest with a whip and said to Su Ziheng: "Childe, look over there." ”

Su Ziheng looked up, and his face suddenly changed greatly, and there was actually a group of people in ambush in the woods. Although I don't know where they came from, it was obvious that they were aimed at Zhong Qinghan and his party.

"Stop!" Su Ziheng snorted, quickly pulled the curtain, and said to everyone inside: "You can wait in your hearts with peace of mind, don't go anywhere." If something goes wrong in a while, get ready to go. ”

Zhang Wanqing asked worriedly, "Uncle, what's going on outside?" ”

Su Ziheng comforted: "It's nothing, maybe I'm thinking too much." Sister-in-law, don't run around. And Miss Xie, please take care of them in a while. ”

After speaking, Su Ziheng jumped out of the carriage and ran in the direction of the hill.

Xie Qingxuan looked out of the car window in the direction of Su Ziheng's running, then shifted his gaze, looked at the woods in the distance, frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Don't move, I'll come when I go." ”

Then he glanced at Ji Xiaoxiao meaningfully and said, "You two of them, you look at them more." As soon as he lifted the curtain, he fluttered his arms, like a light and agile bird, and came to Su Ziheng's side in a few jumps.

"You're too slow, go back to the carriage and guard, I'll go and inform the people above."

Although she didn't know what the relationship between Su Ziheng and the people on the hill was, seeing that he was desperate, Xie Qingxuan still decided to help him. Otherwise, if something really happens, Zhang Wanqing and Xiaoya will definitely be very sad.

Su Ziheng looked at the figure that was as fast as a galloping horse, his heart warmed, his hands around his mouth, made a trumpet shape, and shouted loudly: "Thank you!" ”

Actually, she's not as cold as she appears! Su Ziheng thought so in his heart.
