Su Jinyao finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt that this was also a good start.

If you don't pry open the tip of the iceberg, it will always be a huge iceberg. But it still takes some effort to crush the iceberg little by little, and then slowly melt it.

Sophie and Xiaocheng'er were also beckoned to take their places. Su Jinyao looked at it again, beckoned to Lin Xiuxiu's sister and brother, and said, "Xiuxiu, bring your brother over to sit." Now you are a guest in our house and deserve to eat together. ”

Lin Xiu'er was originally standing with Qiu Ying, but after listening to Su Jinyao's words, she took a step back and shook her head slightly.

Su Jinyao smiled and said to Qiu Ying: "You and Qingyu Gongzi should also sit down." Qingyu Gongzi and Gu Xuebin also have the same friendship. ”

Qiu Ying hesitated for a moment, but Qingyu Gongzi smiled slightly, arched his hand towards Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin, and bowed deeply to Su Xiangui, and said, "Say hello to my uncle, then I'm welcome." ”

"Come on, come on, we don't have so many rules in the farmhouse." Su Xiangui smiled and beckoned, and then called Lin Xiuxiu and Qiu Ying again.

Qiu Ying was pulled over by Mu Qingyu, although she has the distinction of master and servant, but if she really becomes Mu Qingyu's daughter-in-law in the future, she will be the head of the Holy Hand Mu family, and her status in the rivers and lakes can be imagined, and it is natural to sit on the main seat.

Su Jinyao squeezed her eyes at Su Fei'er again, and motioned for her to come over and pull the Lin sisters and brothers to sit at the table.

Lin Xiuxiu couldn't shirk it, so she led her younger brother Lin Xiuqing to sit in the lower position. Xiuqing sat next to Xiaocheng'er, and Xiuxiu sat next to Sophie.

Although Lin Xiuxiu's momentum is a little weaker, there is a section of Xiaocheng'er there, and Su Jinyao also thinks highly of her, which can be regarded as giving Xiaocheng'er a face.

What's more, Lin Xiuqing is Su Jinyao's senior apprentice, Su Jinyao really likes this serious and talented apprentice, and letting him eat at the table is also a kind of affirmation.

The family seems to be very lively like this. Mingjuan and Mingrui will definitely not eat together, they abide by their duty as maids, and they are waiting by the side.

At the beginning, Su Xiangui was more or less restrained, and he had to think about it for a long time before speaking.

However, after Gu Xuebin opened the jar of good wine, he poured a glass for each person, Mu Qingyu praised the good wine repeatedly, and everyone echoed it, even if it opened the topic.

The banquet became lively, and Su Xiangui also asked Gu Xuebin about his future plans.

Gu Xuebin looked at Su Jinyao with a smile, his eyes were full of pampering and happiness, and replied: "Actually, I don't have any special plans, just be with Jinyao." Maybe if you want to wander the world and make the four seas your home, Jinyao will stay more where she likes, and even if there are thousands of mountains and rivers in the places that Jinyao yearns for, you have to walk together. ”

These words are sincere. Although Su Xiangui didn't understand those words, Su Jinyao, Mu Qingyu, and Xiaocheng'er were all stunned by Gu Xuebin's honest expectation.

After Gu Xuebin finished speaking, he looked at Su Jinyao affectionately and raised the wine glass in his hand towards her.

Su Jinyao couldn't reply to any other words, just raised her glass to echo and drank it all with him.

Gradually, the atmosphere became more and more harmonious, Su Xiangui was not good at words, but Mu Qingyu, Gu Xuebin, and Xiaocheng'er talked more and more about the topic.

After three rounds of drinking, the little women were full and left the table to go to the side to chat. Su Xiangui also said that he was too strong to drink, and was helped back by Sophie to rest.

There were only three young talents left on the table to push the cup and change the lamp together, chatting happily.

It wasn't until late at night that the banquet dispersed.

Gu Xuebin and Mu Qingyu were already slightly drunk, but Xiao Cheng'er was still a little restrained, and his eyes were hazy, but he didn't speak at all.

Gu Xuebin smiled, patted Mu Qingyu's shoulder, raised his eyebrows, turned around and picked up Su Jinyao and strode away.

When I walked to the door, I didn't forget to say "haha" twice, and laughed very happily.

Mu Qingyu was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at Qiu Ying.

Qiu Ying blushed all of a sudden, understood Gu Xuebin's deliberate trickery just now, and also understood Mu Qingyu's hot eyes at this time.

Qiu Ying casually picked up a teacup and threw it at Mu Qingyu, and said, "When you're drunk, go back to the house and sleep, I'll go find Xiluo'er." ”

After speaking, Qiu Ying turned around and left, leaving Lin Xiuxiu with a surprised face.

Xiao Cheng'er came over at this time, squinted his eyes and looked at Xiuxiu with affection, and said softly: "We...... Going for a walk? ”

"Hmm." Although Lin Xiuxiu was blushing, she agreed after thinking about it.

The Dou family fled

Xiao Cheng'er and Xiuxiu went to the moon before the flower, and Mu Qingyu could only stay alone in the room when he returned to the room, because now Mu Qingyu lived with Xiao Cheng'er.

Only Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin are a happy couple, and they are naturally very affectionate if they haven't seen each other for many days.

Su Jinyao was not drunk, Gu Xuebin was only slightly drunk, the two were happy and intimate for a while, Su Jinyao was so tired that she couldn't raise her head.

Gu Xuebin also knew how to sympathize with his daughter-in-law, encircled her in his arms, talked to her in a slow voice, and told him about the pain of lovesickness these days.

It's just that when talking about Mingjuan's matter, Su Jinyao's tone sank significantly, and the whole person exuded a faint helplessness and pity.

Gu Xuebin hugged Su Jinyao's shoulders hard, put her in his arms, and said, "Jinyao, don't be sad, this is also a kind of destination." ”

"yes, I know." Su Jinyao nodded and said, "I'm just unwilling." The punishment given to the queen at the beginning was really light, and she should be allowed to repay it with her life. ”

Gu Xuebin was silent for a long time after hearing this, and only said after a while: "Jin Yao, Mo has already said that you turned around and returned to the capital that day, and he didn't get the order that day, and he also delayed some things. ”

Su Jinyao then remembered that she was the one who asked Mo not to go to the queen again. He asked, "Won't there be a chance to get the order in the queen's hand again?" I thought that the queen had completely lost power since that time, and taking her things was not like picking up something? ”

Gu Xuebin smiled, stroked Su Jinyao's hair, and said, "It's okay, it's all over, don't think about it anymore." Go to sleep. Or maybe Jinyao can't sleep yet, let's ...... again"

"you, get down to business." Su Jinyao knew that Gu Xuebin was avoiding the important and trivializing, and this matter would definitely not be as frivolous as he said.

Su Jinyao really didn't expect that she would inadvertently cause him trouble.

Gu Xuebin shook his head and said, "It really doesn't matter. It's just that a little time was missed, so that the people of the Dou family have already fled. ”

"That is, there is no chance to cut the grass and eradicate the roots?" Su Jinyao's heart twisted, and she blamed herself for being reckless.

What she thought of was revenge, but compared to Gu Xuebin's plan, it should be a big deal. Maybe a small action of hers unintentionally caused Gu Xuebin a lot of trouble.

Su Jinyao propped herself up and said seriously: "Che, cut the grass without removing the roots, and the spring breeze blows and grows." If it's really me delaying you, we'll have to think of a way to remedy it. ”

Gu Xuebin still shook his head, then pressed Su Jinyao in his arms, and said: "The matter of my father's abdication will be announced to the world in the next few days, whether it is the palace or the queen, or the soldiers and horses of the Dou family in the future, it really has nothing to do with us." ”

Su Jinyao hurriedly said: "Where did the Dou family flee?" Isn't it good for us to block on the road? There's always a way to deal with them. ”

Gu Xuebin saw that Su Jinyao kept asking, and he knew that Su Jinyao would not give up if he didn't make this matter clear.

He thought for a while, and then said: "The strength of the queen's maiden family is not weak, and even the layout around the capital is a little more than that of the Gu family army. In order to prevent the people of the Dou family from secretly attacking, I want to get the talisman in my hands and fundamentally disintegrate the strength of the Dou family. But a step too late, the people of the Dou family received a secret report and had fled. As for the route of their escape, it is uncertain. It may disappear or it may come back. But one way or another, it really has nothing to do with us

Finish. ”

What Gu Xuebin said has nothing to do is because he is not a prince or a regent, and even the emperor is about to abdicate...... Canglan Shuo and the ancient prime minister.

One is the most majestic and emperorly qualified among the royal family, and the other is the Ming Xiang who has assisted the monarch for many years, so Gu Xuebin doesn't have to worry too much.

Su Jinyao was silent for a while after listening, got into Gu Xuebin's arms, and said softly: "Since that's the case, then let's sleep." ”

Gu Xuebin patted Su Jinyao's shoulder and asked her, "Jinyao, but why do I think you won't give up?" ”

"Hehe, you know my mind. I will ask my spies to keep an eye on the Dou family's situation, if they really fall apart. But if there is a slight change, we will not show mercy. After Su Jinyao finished speaking, she also patted Gu Xuebin's chest and said, "I'm tired, let's sleep." ”

Gu Xuebin said "um", and then stopped talking. It's just that he especially hopes that the Dou family won't make trouble for no reason, and he can live a free life with Jin Yao.

On the third day of Gu Xuebin's arrival in Pingshan Village, the holy decree was announced to the world, and the emperor Chan let the emperor be located in the fourth prince Cangqianyuan, and the succession ceremony was scheduled for the third day of February next year.

Because of their long-standing feelings for this matter, Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin did not say too much, but became more and more calm.

Xiaocheng'er was the closest person to the power in the capital, but he set off a lot of waves in his heart.

He also secretly talked to Gu Xuebin about this matter. Gu Xuebin smiled and said to Xiao Cheng'er: "If you still have the heart to enter the court as an official, you can participate in the spring examination competition." In my opinion, the last three years are the best period for you to gain fame, because there are really not many people in the DPRK and China who can compete with you. But it's hard to say anything about the future. ”

Gu Xuebin's meaning is actually obvious, although he left the capital, Yu Wei is still there. If Xiaocheng'er takes this opportunity to enter Beijing for the exam, whether it is the Gu family or other officials, it is necessary to put Xiaocheng'er's affairs in front of the face and give a better ranking.

But if it is a daily life, that is, "people go to tea and cool", Gu Xuebin's name is no longer loud, and it will be even more difficult for Xiaochenger to gain fame.

So Xiao Cheng'er thought about it and gave up. For a while, he now also felt that the water in the imperial court was deep and muddy, and it was not something that he could enter as a peasant child.

Second, if he re-enters Beijing, he will have to face the Gu family, and Gu Yuxuan will also be a big problem at that time. I don't want to get involved in emotional entanglements, so it's better to avoid it as far away as possible.

Nested in a peaceful small mountain village like this, Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin really lived for a while.

Seeing the frost and snow falling, the weather is getting colder and colder, but Pingshan Village is slowly becoming lively.

Because it's coming to the end of the year, the more people in the mountains like to be lively, and they are preparing for the New Year's goods early.

Su Jinyao is not in a hurry for this, because she is going to Anji City for the New Year.

It's not that it's bad to stay in Pingshan Village for the New Year. In fact, the village is lively, and the lights are particularly festive.

It's because Ma Liu and Miss Ming sent out an invitation early in the morning, saying that if Su Jinyao refused to come to the city for the New Year, they would put up a team to come to the village for the New Year.

Su Jinyao didn't want them to work when she came. Second, I'm afraid that so many people will come at once, and a small place like Pingshan Village will panic.

The shadow guard is also on vacation

Today's Ma Liu, not to mention that the county magistrate in Anji City wants to sell his face, even the prefect of Nanping Prefecture has to figure out what he means.

Therefore, if such a character comes to this Pingshan Village casually, maybe the Su family will not stop in the future.

However, Su Jinyao and Gu Xuebin went to Anji City for the New Year, but the rest of the Su family did not plan to go over together.

Su Jinyao asked Qiuying and Xiuxiu, and Xiuxiu said that she wanted to stay in the Su family, this Su Jinyao can understand, after all, Xiaocheng doesn't go to the city.

And Qiu Ying was pulled by Mu Qingyu to go back to Mu's house, and Qiu Ying looked very reluctant.

Su Jinyao was naturally in favor. The ugly daughter-in-law always wants to see her in-laws, not to mention that Su Jinyao has been very effective in recovering Qiu Ying during this time.

The scars on Autumn Shadow's face are almost healed. Except for some marks, which are a bit like acne scars, they are basically not visible as scars.

It's just that her eyes can't be seen anymore. However, the autumn shadow wearing an eye patch looks heroic and capable, not ugly, but very imposing.

Of course, Xi Shen'er stayed in the Su family, she was not Qiu Ying's maid, and she couldn't let Qiu Ying take it all the time.

However, Xi Shen'er played well with the girl in the village during this time, and the relationship with Chunniu was also very good.

As long as she is fine, she will go to Quanqing Zhuxiang to help Chunniu, Su Jinyao sometimes wants Chunniu and Xiluo'er to recognize a godmother or a girl.

Therefore, there is no doubt that Xi Shen'er stays.

In the end, A-Ning was left. After Gu Xuebin came, Mo also naturally followed.

It's just that Mo is not as casual as A-Ning and can integrate into the life of the Su family, so during this time, most of the time he continued to hide around Gu Xuebin in the state of a shadow guard.

Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, Su Jinyao discussed with Gu Xuebin and gave A-Ning and Mo Ye a holiday.

The two of them have no relatives, but it's okay for two people to have a little love together.

Su Jinyao understood what Gu Xuebin meant, so he called Mo out and asked him if he would like to go out for a walk on vacation, a few days of vacation is enough.

Mo was stunned, he had never acted alone, not because he didn't have this ability, but because he didn't have this opportunity.

Of course, this is not the same as Gu Xuebin arranging tasks for him and then going to perform them alone.

Give him a few days off so that he can live a normal life, walk on the street or go to see the excitement, he doesn't have to keep an eye on the safety of his master all the time, and he doesn't have to care if there are people in the crowd who are strong in martial arts and may have bad intentions.

But this was a completely unfamiliar state in Mo's eyes, and it even made him a little scared.

Su Jinyao turned her head and asked A-Ning again. Of course, you can't ask in front of Gu Xuebin or Mo, Su Jinyao wants to ask A-Ning what she means alone.

A-Ning only hesitated slightly, then nodded, and said, "Master, I think two days is enough, just go around the nearby towns and see if I can adapt to such a casual life." ”

Su Jinyao casually took out two silver tickets of twenty taels, as well as a bag of broken silver, about three taels, and handed them to A-Ning.

A-Ning knew how to spend money, but she had never taken so much silver for herself at once. After thinking about it for a while, she took the money bag and handed the silver ticket back to Su Jinyao.

"Why not?" Su Jinyao looked at the silver ticket that was stuffed back, and said, "Actually, this can only be regarded as a part of your salary.

You're definitely more than that. If you have anything else to buy, just let me know, and I can agree to the amount of money. ”

A-Ning hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, no." It's not that I'm too little, but I don't need that much. These days, I also know in the village, that the annual expenses of an ordinary family are only a few taels of silver, and these silver can sell a good house. But I'm just walking on the street for two days, and it won't cost much. I feel burdened with more silver. ”

Su Jinyao smiled and said, "Actually, not all of this silver is for you, it belongs to you and Mo." Che and I are going to give both of you a holiday, I don't know what's going on over there, but I think you should bring more silver, because that kid seems to be a bit cute. ”

It's nice to say that it's cute, but in fact, Su Jinyao wants to say that Mo is the type that can't take care of himself in life. Basically, he doesn't have many survival skills other than his duties as a shadow guard.

If he is really allowed to marry A Ning, it is estimated that A Ning will have to pay for the cost of living for the two of them in the future, or he can be a spy or a killer. Let him go to work normally, I'm afraid it's difficult.

Ah Ning listened to Su Jinyao's words, lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Then wait for Mo's decision to come down, and then let's talk about it." Maybe he didn't want to leave his master's side at all. ”

After a while, Su Jinyao felt that the time was almost up, so she asked A-Ning to wait here, and she went over to ask Mo what he meant. If Mo also agrees to take a holiday, he will make the two of them a pair and go out happily for two days.

As a result, when he came to Gu Xuebin's side, he and Mo were behind the table, looking at something.

It should be said that Gu Xuebin is writing, indifferent to reading, and he is quite serious.

Su Jinyao was curious, when did this pair of masters and shadow guards get so close? So I walked over to see what Gu Xuebin was writing.

But as soon as Su Jinyao entered the door, the two of them heard it, and Gu Xuebin understood her curiosity at a glance at Su Jinyao.

However, Gu Xuebin didn't give Su Jinyao a chance to get closer, so he folded the piece of paper he wrote and stuffed it to Mo.
