Chapter 30: Su Wei's surprise
The distance from Qingliang Temple to Jiuyuan County is not far, and it can be reached in a few days. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Su Chen and the three of them didn't have any baggage, they were light and simple, and they arrived at Jiuyuan County in a few days.
Entering the county seat, Su Chen obviously felt that this place was different from Wuyuan County, where commerce and trade were prosperous, people came and went, mixed with Hu people's business travelers and singers, and there was a strong vitality everywhere.
Jiuyuan County Hu and Han people live together, and it is an important distribution center for the border trade between Han and Hu people, so the trade here is prosperous, and the merchants from the south to the north will stop here, compared with Wuyuan County, it is a lot more open here.
Not long after entering the city gate, he saw a familiar figure running over, and he took a closer look, this person was not Su An, who else could it be.
"Childe, you're finally here." Seeing Su Chen and the others, Su An was overjoyed, maybe it was a long time since he saw him, Su Chen could feel his joy.
Su Chen threw the reins to Hao Meng, gave Su An a big bear hug, and asked, "How do you know that we have entered the city?" ā
"Childe doesn't know, the lord is looking forward to the son every day, so he arranged a servant to guard at the city gate, and the servant saw the figure of the son from a distance and went back to the house to report the news, but the lord was in the county guard mansion during the day, so I volunteered to come to pick up the son."
"I see!" Su Chen heard something unusual from his words, and asked, "You said that your father goes to the county guard mansion every day, so have you seen Gao Changshi?" ā
What Su Chen was most worried about was that Gao Shunrong was estranged from the Su family after he was promoted to the long history, if that was the case, the Su family had just arrived, and it would not be easy to take root in Jiuyuan County, where the major families were intricate.
Su An didn't think about it so much, and when he heard Su Chen's words, he asked strangely, "Who is Gao Changshi that Gongzi said?" ā
"It's Gao Shun, haven't you seen it?"
"Oooh! Back to Gongzi, Gao Duwei has been to Fuzhong a few times, and he also asked why you haven't arrived in Jiuyuan for a long time, if I hadn't said Gongzi, you have something to delay on the way, Gao Duwei might have to send someone to find Gongzi. ā
"That's good, that's good!" Before he stayed in Qingliang Temple, in order to avoid his family worrying, he asked the monks in the temple to send a letter to Jiuyuan, and when he heard that Gao Shun did not share with the Su family because of his promotion to Changshi, Su Chen's heart was temporarily put back in his stomach.
"Let's go home, Su An will lead the way." ć
"Childe, come with me."
This house is shabby compared to the Su Mansion in Wuyuan County, but after all, this place is the seat of Wuyuan County, and most of the families in the entire county are concentrated here, and it is understandable that the land price is a little higher.
Listening to Su An, this house is the mansion of an official who left Wuyuan County bought by Su Yu, so it is smaller, but fortunately, the geographical location here is good, and the officials of the county guard mansion live around, and it is not far from the Taishou Mansion, for the Su family who has just settled here, living here can better mingle with other officials.
"Childe, you're here." As soon as she entered the mansion, Ying'er, a little girl, was waiting at the door, and when she saw Su Chen coming in, she jumped over happily.
Su Chen hugged her into his arms and asked, "Does Xiao Ying'er miss me?" ā
Speaking of this, Xiao Ying'er looked at him with fluttering eyes, the situation was like a little daughter-in-law looking at her husband who had not returned home for a long time, and when she saw the back, a teardrop instantly overflowed from her big eyes.
"Why are you still crying?" Su Chen hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with her hand, and comforted: "Okay, Xiao Ying'er, don't cry, don't cry, it's not beautiful to cry again, don't I come back, don't cry, others will see jokes." ā
Xiao Ying'er really didn't cry when she heard this, her two big eyes flickered and looked around, Cao Xing and the others had been taken down by Su An to settle down, and there were only her and Gongzi here, and the rest of the servants naturally didn't dare to move their eyes to this side.
"Childe is a liar, how can anyone be watching jokes." Although Ying'er didn't follow, she also stopped her tears.
Su Chen smiled, didn't continue to tease her, and said, "Let's go, take me back to the room, this way the saddle horse is tired, I want to wash up well." ā
The north is windy and sandy, and he hasn't taken a bath for the past few days, so he is not used to it.
What warmed his heart was that Ying'er arranged the room exactly the same as Wuyuan, and the orientation of the room was the same as Wuyuan.
Seeing her busy untying his clothes, Su Chen suddenly hugged her and said with emotion: "Ying'er, thank you!" ā
Xiao Ying'er was embarrassed by him, and it was at this time that Su Chen felt a strange feeling somewhere in his body, and he realized that the original little girl was about to grow into a big girl at this time.
He was an orphan in his previous life, and he depended on his father in this life, which can be said to be a little lacking in maternal love.
Ying'er was a maid in the room in ancient times, Jia Baoyu had a lot of maids in the room, Su Chen only had one Ying'er, this is not that Su Yu didn't love him enough, it was really the rules, the Su family was just a small family, not a prince, and there were regulations for all food and clothing, which is not to say that there are any mandatory regulations, it can only be said that it is customary, otherwise in the eyes of others, it is not rude.
After washing, it was almost dark, Su Chen asked Su An when his father would come back, and Su An told him that his master had returned, and he was instructing the kitchen to set up a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for him.
went to the main hall, Cao Xing, Hao Meng, and Su Quan, the leader of the escort team, were all in the column, and after Su Chen and Su An came in, he sat on the lower left of his father as a matter of course, and below him was Cao Xing and Hao Meng, and Su Quan and Su An sat opposite.
Although it is a family banquet, but the etiquette cannot be abolished, this has always been advocated by Su Wei, although Su Wei is a military general, not a traditional literati, but this is not to say that he does not understand the way of Confucius and Mencius, Su Wei does not say that he is rich and rich, as a child of a family, he has to learn the six arts of a gentleman since he was a child, and he still has some knowledge.
After a feast and drink, the others all went down, only the father and son were left, Su Wei ordered people to guard outside, and no one was allowed to approach, so he asked his son: "You have a smooth journey, right?" ā
"It went well." Su Chen thought about it, it didn't go well, he pretended to be a guest of Qingliang Temple by mistake, his status was transcendent, and he also got a Dizang Dan, and a large bag of forging bones for 10,000 people, which was a real harvest.
By the way, thinking of this, he suddenly said to his father: "Father, I accidentally got a set of qi training methods in Qingliang Temple, which is a health preservation method without any attributes, according to legend, it was handed down during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. ā
"Oh?" Su Yu didn't expect her son to have such an adventure, and hurriedly asked, "My son quickly told me in detail about it with my husband." ā
Su Chen took advantage of the situation to write out a few hundred words of mental formulas, and then rehearsed the moves of the Five Fowl Opera in front of his father.
Su Wei looked at the mental method, and then looked at his moves, and exclaimed: "This set of mental methods came at the right time." ā
"What do you mean by that?" Su Chen had a guess in his heart, and without waiting for the other party to answer, he hurriedly asked, "Father has broken through?" ā
"Hahahaha, that's good!" Su Wei laughed a few times and replied: "In fact, when I was fighting with Xianbei, I felt that the bottleneck of many years was somewhat loosened, and then I drank your medicinal wine, and when I arrived in Jiuyuan, I was very touched by what I saw and heard, but a few days ago, I broke through the realm of refining and exchanging blood. ā
"Really?" Hearing the news, Su Chen was overjoyed and congratulated: "Congratulations to my father for his great achievements, in this way, it will be double happiness." ā
"Oh? Where does this other joy come from? His words confused Su Wei.
Su Chen had already prepared, he took out a copper-colored box from his arms, put it on the table, and said, "Father, look, what is this?" ā
Su Chen looked at it for a long time, but he didn't have a clue, so he gave him a strange look, Su Chen stuck out his tongue, opened the box, and suddenly a strong medicinal fragrance overflowed the entire room.
"This, this, this is ......"
Su Wei was so surprised that he couldn't even speak clearly, he took three steps and made two steps, stepped forward with an arrow, came to Su Chen's side, carefully picked up the copper-colored box, smelled it, and said with emotion: "Chen'er, where did you get such a perfect pill?" Could this be an elixir? ā
It's really no wonder that Su Wei was surprised, this Jizang Dan is a world of difference compared to Zhuji Dan, he Su Wei has been in the country for many years, and he has seen and heard a lot, but he has never seen this grade of pill.
"This is Jizo Dan!" Su Chen then reported the ins and outs to Su Wei, Su Wei was amazed to hear it, he didn't expect the other party to be so big, and such a pill would be sent, it was really unbelievable and incredible.
Su Wei reluctantly closed the box and asked, "Chen'er, do you want to give this pill to your father?" ā
Su Chen didn't think so, but when he heard that his father had broken through to the point of refining the viscera for blood, he was about to step into the realm of qi training, and now that he had the method of practicing qi, it could be said that it was a matter of course, so he had the meaning of the question.
"No, no!" Seeing him nodded, Su Wei immediately refused, and said: "Chen'er, although my father has broken through the realm of refining and exchanging blood, but my father is old after all, even if he successfully breaks through the Qi Cultivation Mirror, his achievements in this life are limited, this kind of elixir, it is a terrible thing to take for his father, so I should leave it to you to take it in the future." ā
Su Wei's words were not unreasonable, but Su Chen was a little unwilling, he was only in the Yi Jin period now, and he couldn't use this kind of pill, his idea was that after his father took it, his strength increased greatly, which was very helpful for his Su family to gain a foothold in this Nine Plains.
Unexpectedly, his father rejected his proposal, and for a while the original idea began to stir again.
