He originally thought that what Su Jinyao said about leaving here was just moving out of the village and temporarily settling down in a place farther away from Anji City.

When Gu Xuebin gains power again and stabilizes the situation, they will be safe.

But she didn't expect that Su Jinyao's proposal turned out to be to leave the Cloud Dome Country.

Su Jinyao nodded, and then said, "You don't have to worry too much, we don't have to leave soon." If I do want to move that far, I will make careful plans. ”

It's like immigrating abroad, even though you didn't need a visa in ancient times, you have to leave a good way back.

In the end, whether this road can work or not, Su Jinyao is also considering.

And even if you have to leave, you can't take everyone with you. But it would be too dangerous for those who had a close relationship with Su Jinyao to stay.

For example, Ma Liu, Jinmei, and Ziruo are all Su Jinyao's right-hand men, if they can't be arranged, Su Jinyao won't leave with confidence.

Xiao Cheng'er breathed a long sigh of relief after hearing this, and said, "Second sister, is your decision sudden, or have you already had a plan?" Can you prepare me a little bit so that I can think about it? ”

Su Jinyao said with a smile: "It's a temporary idea, I just want to fly away, whether I can succeed or not depends on the actual situation." But like I said, I don't really mind having another home. ”

After hearing this, Xiao Cheng'er muttered: "That's the truth of the three caves of the cunning rabbit." ”

Su Jinyao smacked a chestnut on Xiao Cheng'er's head, and then said, "You can also say that." But it is necessary to be prepared for danger in times of peace, and we can never relax. ”

Xiao Cheng'er nodded, feeling that what Su Jinyao said made sense. Then he said: "Second sister, I think maybe we can separate." ”

"Separated?" Su Jinyao repeated Xiao Cheng'er's words, pondering the meaning of his words.

Xiao Cheng'er nodded seriously and said, "Second sister, maybe you will scold me if I say this, but I also want to remind you that we are not actually related by blood, and you don't have to bear anything for our Su family." In fact, you have done enough for us, and you should also consider going to live a free life with your second brother-in-law. I've also grown up, and I still have me at home, so you should rest assured. ”

After a pause, Xiao Cheng'er said again: "Moreover, it is said that women should get married." I'm the only male in the family, second sister, shouldn't you give me this burden? ”

Su Jinyao's eyes, which had been closed, opened slightly, looked at the moon in the sky, and did not say a word.

She knew that Xiao Cheng'er was not distracted by herself, but was thinking about her.

But how could she rest assured that all the burdens would be thrown away at once.

Su Jinyao sighed, turned her head to look at Xiao Cheng'er, looked at his shoulders that were a cut above herself, and said with a smile: "Good brother, you have indeed grown up." But if I hadn't been at home, I probably wouldn't have been in such a big trouble. I'm cleaning up the aftermath for myself, but I've been breaking your peaceful life. ”

Xiao Cheng'er stumbled for a moment, and he didn't know what to say.

After a while, Xiao Cheng'er said, "Second sister, let's sleep for a while." We'll go home early tomorrow morning. This is your mother's home, your home, and our family will not be separated in the future, more

Good. ”

"Hmm." Su Jinyao took a deep breath and closed her eyes again.

Xiao Cheng'er slowly turned half of her body, letting Su Jinyao completely lean on her shoulder, and supporting Su Jinyao's body with half of her chest, so that she could sleep more comfortably.

Su Jinyao said softly: "It's good to have a younger brother." Then he adjusted his breathing and slowly fell asleep.

Xiao Cheng'er looked at the moonlight sprinkled around him, thinking about the young time they spent in this bamboo forest, but became more and more sober.

In the morning, the sun shines obliquely, allowing the warmth to warm.

Su Jinyao felt the yellow morning light gently flickering on her face, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a faint mist steaming up on a green and intoxicating bamboo leaf.

It was the mist of the dew on the tips of the trees evaporated by the sun, and there was a faint scent of bamboo in the mist.

Su Jinyao took a deep breath and felt that the fragrance of bamboo leaves filled the entire chest and lungs.

"Second sister, I'll go get some water to wash your face." Xiao Cheng'er straightened Su Jinyao's body as she spoke, got up and walked into the bamboo forest, picked a very thick bamboo and cut it, made a simple bamboo tube and went to the stream to fetch water.

When she came back, the meeting in the bamboo tube was also filled with the fragrance of bamboo, which made Su Jinyao feel comfortable and happy to wash her face.

"Let's go, let's go back." Su Jinyao tidied up her clothes and hair, and then followed Xiaocheng'er out of the bamboo forest.

Originally, Xiaocheng'er was going to carry Su Jinyao on her back, but Su Jinyao was worried about her foot injury, so she walked out with a hard hold to show that she was resting well.

got into the carriage and walked back, but before I reached the village, I saw Sophie and Chunniu running towards this side.

Chunniu greeted her and said, "I heard the sound of horses' hooves last night, and I wondered if I heard it wrong." This morning, the children of the village said that when they saw a magnificent carriage parked in the col, I wondered if it would be you, and if it was. ”

Sophie also smiled and said, "Since you arrived last night, why don't you go home?" Let my father and I both think about it. ”

"It was the middle of the night when I arrived in the village yesterday, so I was afraid of noisy everyone, so I rested outside for a while." Su Jinyao smiled a little reservedly, after all, everyone is back, but there is only one Mingcui missing. Even if you are relieved, it is impossible not to miss it completely.

Sophie and Chunniu naturally didn't know about it, but they were just blindly happy and asked everyone to go home quickly.

Many people in the village came out to see the excitement, but now few people will come over to say hello to Su Jinyao, and even fewer people dare to chew the root of their tongues.

In the eyes of the villagers, the second girl of the Su family is not only rich, but also married to the eldest young master of the official eunuch family in the capital. As long as it is related to the official family, then no one dares to say a word.

Su Jinyao didn't care about the eyes of the people in the village before, and now she doesn't care about what others think. With a command to the coachman and the little servant, the three carriages drove directly back to Su's house.

Su Xiangui's legs and feet were much better, and he walked much more steadily on crutches, so he came to the door to greet him.

Knowing that Su Jinyao had spent the night outside, they didn't have too many pleasantries, so they asked Sophie to clean up the empty room and let everyone go in the house to rest.

Mingjuan and Mingrui should have cried all night, and now their eyes are still red and swollen. Originally, I was going to help clean up the house, but Sophie and Chunniu saw that the atmosphere was not right, so they let them rest too.

Why is the second brother-in-law here?

Back at the Su family, everything seems to have returned to the original point, living a step-by-step life, the days are calm and tranquil, as if even autumn has fallen silent, and it is leisurely to forget the time.

After staying for a few days, Su Jinyao asked the three coachmen and servants from the prince's mansion to drive back.

There are enough people living here, and there is no need for more subordinates, and there is no need for outsiders to participate.

Su Jinyao's condition is not bad, her foot injury has been recuperated in the best, she basically doesn't move much every day, except for recuperating from her injury is eating, and then there are only two things left to do in a daze and reminiscing about the past.

And Mingjuan and Mingrui were accompanied by Su Jinyao at the same time, but they were also very quiet.

Especially Mingrui, who originally learned from Mingcui with a somewhat out-of-the-box temperament, suddenly became calm at this time. Sometimes Su Jinyao doesn't greet her, and she may not say a word all day long.

The happiest may be Xi Shen'er, she is still a little girl, and she is even more carefree when she comes to this small village. I didn't even have to do any work, and soon I got acquainted with the female dolls in the village, and I ran up the hill all day long.

Of course, she is still with the golden python raised by Xi Shen'er, but it was originally in a bamboo cage, and now it has become a semi-free-range form.

As long as Xiluo'er enters the mountain, the golden python will be released, which can not only let it hunt by itself, but also protect the safety of Xiluo'er.

When the days calmed down, Su Jinyao set out to find a suitable house for Lin Xiuxiu to open the school.

Of course, the room for the school can't be too small, but there are not many school-age children in this Pingshan Village, even if you add the children from the surrounding villages, there are no more than twenty people who can come to class.

Xiuxiu is full of enthusiasm. Before there was a shadow of the school, she asked Xi Shen'er to call those young children to her side, teach them some words and simple verses every day, and began to warm up as a little gentleman.

After Su Jinyao's daily time in a daze passed, she watched Xiuxiu sit in the courtyard and teach a few children to write.

Some children are very naughty, and Xiuxiu is not angry, but coaxes and teases with some small things.

For example, a small purse sewn with a cloth head, or a wild fruit picked in the mountains.

Or take some good-looking pebbles to count the rewards, and if you learn well, you will be given a pebble, and if you save more pebbles, you can exchange them for candy to eat.

For a while, Su Jinyao was in a trance. It seems that he saw when he taught Xiao Cheng'er, but Xiao Cheng'er is clearly the most fond student of learning, so these children are not like him.

In turn, Su Jinyao thought about what her children would be like in the future? Naughty or sensible, smart or stupid? Is he as elegant and beautiful as himself, or as glamorous and charming as Gu Xuebin?

But after thinking about it, Su Jinyao touched her deflated belly and couldn't help but sigh.

I don't know if she and Gu Xuebin get together less and leave more, or if the days of love are wrong. She still didn't move.

As a doctor, Su Jinyao knew very well that her and Gu Xuebin's bodies were normal.

In this way, the child is really a gift from God. It doesn't mean that if you are healthy and your husband and wife are loving, you will be able to conceive children smoothly.

And this time, the small town has become more and more diligent. He had already read a lot of books in the Gu family, but now that he returned here, he didn't have any treasured ancient books to read, so he simply began to study Gu Xuebin

His parchment.

However, the words in that book were really obscure, and Xiao Cheng'er studied for nearly ten days, and he could barely read the first two paragraphs.

Later, Xiao Cheng'er also told Su Jinyao that if you want to read through this strange book and understand its meaning, I am afraid that it will not be exhaustive without decades of study, or after the inheritance of two generations of master and apprentice.

In the blink of an eye, late autumn passed and early winter arrived.

Before the first snow fell, the tomb that my mother had built on the mountain was repaired.

Originally, Su Jinyao was not short of money now, let alone repairing the tomb, even if she bought a hill to rebuild the tomb.

However, Su Jinyao still remembered that her mother wanted to put a pile of stones in front of the grave as a marker.

Thinking that even if my mother died, she still remembered the agreement with her father, so I didn't want to change much.

So just on the basis of the original, the tomb was repaired well, and then a yin and yang who is said to be very Taoist were invited to come, and a new tombstone was replaced on the selected day.

When these things were done, Su Jinyao went to the mountain with Su Xiangui, Xiaocheng'er, and Su Fei'er to worship.

After worshipping, Su Xiangui asked Su Jinyao and them to go down the mountain first, and he insisted on staying alone to talk to Fang Yingniang.

Su Jinyao and Xiaocheng'er couldn't persuade them, so they had to let him.

When going down the mountain, Xiao Cheng'er said: "Second sister, I'll carry you." ”

Su Jinyao shook her head with a smile and said, "I've been recuperating well for a while, I can still walk these few steps." ”

Xiao Cheng'er was stubborn and said, "My brother has the strength to carry it, if you feel uncomfortable carrying it on your back, I can carry you down the mountain." ”

Su Jinyao smiled when she heard this, glared at him and said, "The more you talk about it, the more you go too far, you have to behave well in front of your mother, right?" Then you can carry your daughter-in-law up the mountain and show it to your mother. ”

The two sisters and brothers were talking, and suddenly they saw a figure running up quickly from the bottom of the mountain.

The dark color shirt seemed to be more and more tall and slender, and a stunningly handsome face with an eager and doting smile.

Su Jinyao looked down the mountain, the man also looked at the mountain, the eyes of the two were together, and Su Jinyao's heart "banged", as if a thread had been broken.

Xiao Cheng'er was also stunned for a moment and asked, "I'm not mistaken, why is it the second brother-in-law?" ”

"Che, you, why are you here?" Su Jinyao's questioning, Gu Xuebin had already rushed to her with light skills. The thin lips hooked slightly, revealing a charming and sultry smile, and said softly: "Jinyao, I'm here." Come and worship your mother-in-law. ”

"You ......" Su Jinyao only felt stuffy in her chest and a little stalk in her throat. It was the first time she had heard Gu Xuebin and his mother call him "mother-in-law".

Gu Xuebin didn't wait for Su Jinyao to be stunned, put one hand on Su Jinyao's back, leaned down and copied the crook of Su Jinyao's leg with the other hand, picked her up horizontally, and strode towards the mountain.

Su Xiangui was already sitting in front of Fang Yingniang's tomb, with his cane aside, looking at the five words "beloved wife Fang Yingniang" on the newly carved bluestone tablet, his eyes were already red.

But before he could say a few words, he heard footsteps behind him, and when he turned around, he saw that Gu Xuebin had come to the front, and he knelt in front of the tombstone with Su Jinyao in his arms.

Gu Xuebin not only knelt on his knees, but also knelt down directly with Su Jinyao in his arms, and his sincerity and persistence can be seen.

forced the emperor to abdicate

This kneeling, even Su Jinyao felt distressed. Hurriedly broke free from Gu Xuebin's arms, and looked at him stunned on his knees.

Gu Xuebin smiled at Su Jinyao, but didn't say anything, but bowed directly to Fang Yingniang's tombstone.

Three kowtows, Gu Xuebin paid homage with the highest courtesy, showing his respect for his elders and the memory of the deceased.

Su Jinyao didn't know what to say. She didn't understand why Gu Xuebin had not heard from him for so long, why he suddenly appeared again.

After worshipping Fang Yingniang's tombstone, Gu Xuebin knelt down and turned his head, bowing to Su Xiangui.

At this time, Su Xiangui was even more panicked, and hurriedly rushed over and grabbed Gu Xuebin with both hands, and said hurriedly: "Your Highness, why are you doing this?" I...... The grass people can't stand it, they can't stand it. ”

"Father-in-law, don't stop you. The son-in-law should have come to visit a long time ago and thanked him with a big bow. It's already late, and I ask my father-in-law not to blame me. After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he still wanted to worship, but Su Jinyao also came over and stopped him.

Su Jinyao said directly: "What are you doing?" Our family doesn't have to come to such a vulgar ceremony, do you insist on worshipping, do you want to treat yourself as an outsider? ”

"It's not an outsider, it's just the courtesy that a son-in-law should have to his father-in-law." Gu Xuebin smiled softly at Su Jinyao, and said lightly: "Now, I am not even a marquis, I have cut off all my titles and degraded myself to a commoner." ”

Without a title, degraded to a commoner? Su Jinyao pondered this crepe sentence three times in her mind, and then suddenly understood what was going on.

No, it can also be said that Su Jinyao didn't know what was going on at all, she just felt a little shocked.

"Jinyao, I'll talk to you slowly in a while, let me give a formal ceremony to my father-in-law and mother-in-law first." Gu Xuebin still wanted to worship, but this time Su Jinyao pulled him up and said: "My family doesn't like those useless etiquette, you better explain to me first what is going on with self-depreciation as a commoner." ”

After Su Jinyao finished yelling, Xiaocheng'er also came up, and looked at Gu Xuebin with a shocked face after hearing this.

Gu Xuebin looked at the soil on the hem of his clothes embarrassedly, then looked at Su Jinyao's angry eyes, and said in a low voice: "This is a major event in the court, and it can't be said at will." ”

Su Jinyao grinded her teeth and said to Xiao Cheng'er, "You can take your father home." ”

Xiao Cheng'er and Su Xiangui were already shocked, and of course they didn't want to stay here anymore, so they had to go down the mountain.

Gu Xuebin hurriedly said: "Jin Yao, let me take you elsewhere to talk about it, this is in front of my mother-in-law's grave, so it's not good to disturb her purity." ”

Su Jinyao didn't speak, just turned her head to the side.

Gu Xuebin arched his hand towards Su Xiangui, nodded towards Xiaocheng'er, and then picked up Su Jinyao and ran towards the mountain.

Su Jinyao was held in Gu Xuebin's arms, but instead of hooking his neck with his arms as before, she clasped her hands around her chest, squinting her eyes with disdain.

Gu Xuebin looked down at Su Jinyao in his arms, hooked the corners of his mouth and didn't make a sound. Carry her all the way to another hill before putting her down.

Su Jinyao looked around, it was a very familiar place, they had built a stove here to make roast duck.
