Out of the New Year, the flavor of the New Year gradually dissipated, people's lives returned to the rhythm of the past, and the new year began.

Su Jin'an has not been able to calm down in her heart since she saw Lin Ruoshui that day, during this time she always dreamed of Shen Wanjun and the blood-colored heavy rain, in the dream Shen Wanjun smiled warmly at her, but was pierced through the heart from behind by a sharp knife, her body slowly fell to the ground, and then the heavy rain poured down, and the blood spread with the rain on the ground, dyeing the whole world red, she raised her head and saw the person standing behind Shen Wanjun, it was Lin Wenguo, the perfect peach blossom eyes were full of cold killing intent, Su Jinan desperately wanted to stab him with a dagger, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't hurt him in the slightest.

"Ahh

"Miss? Are you having nightmares again? Zizhu's voice came from the outer room, followed by the sound of soft footsteps. Su Jin'an didn't have the habit of keeping vigil with the girl, but Su Jin'an was not in a good state recently, so Xia Qu and the others decided to take turns keeping vigil for her.

Zizhu lifted a little curtain and saw that Su Jinan had already sat up: "Miss, are you okay?" Should I drink lukewarm water? ”

Su Jin'an's voice was hoarse: "Water-"

Zizhu hurriedly got up and went to pour water on the small stove, Su Jinan sat on the bed wrapped in the quilt in a daze, her eyes were empty.

When Zizhu returned to the bed, Su Jinan had already retracted her thoughts, her eyes were also focused, and she reached out to take the water cup: "Is there any movement in the Lin Mansion recently?" ”

Zizhu thought for a moment: "No, why don't I send someone to take a look?" ”

Su Jinan raised her hand to stop her: "Don't use it first, is Si Tu still in the capital?" ”

"In, the day before yesterday, Powder Frost also said that someone from the door came to the capital to find the door owner, and the door owner should still be there, does the young lady want to see him?" Zizhu asked.

Su Jinan thought about it for a while: "It's not easy for me to go out, I'll write a letter tomorrow, and you can ask Powder Cream to help me hand it over to him." ”

Zizhu nodded in agreement: "Okay." ”

Su Jinan handed the empty cup in his hand to Zizhu: "Pour me another glass, and then go to rest." ”

Zizhu looked at Su Jin'an's appearance and was a little uneasy: "Miss, the slave is not sleepy, wait for the slave to sleep before leaving." ”

Su Jinan didn't insist any longer, and sat down for a while before lying down.

Early the next morning, Powder Frost went to deliver the letter early, and before noon, she came back to Su Jin'an to return to her life: "Miss, the slave and maid of the letter have been delivered, and the master of the door said that he agreed, but there is something that the master of the door said that he wanted the slave and maid to bring to Miss, and the man sent someone to inquire about Junli's affairs and whereabouts in Annan." ”

At this time, Su Jin'an was fiddling with her newly planted pot of wheat fairy in the house, although it had not yet reached the flowering period, but under Su Jin'an's careful care, it was also vibrant, this flower was both medicine and poison, and the poison coated on the silver needle she used to kill people was extracted from this flower.

Hearing Zizhu's last words, Su Jin'an's hand holding the scissors stopped at the edge of Mai Xian Weng's leaves, and the corners of his mouth provoked an arc that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Oh? He was looking for Jun Li-"Jun Li, it is a pseudonym given by Su Jin'an when he occasionally rescued people or practiced medicine in Annan, so the person Lin Wenguo was looking for was actually Su Jin'an.

"Yes, does he want to see if he can have a son?" Zizhu guessed on the side.

The cup of tea that Su Jin'an brought to Lin Wenguo back then was actually mixed with Bai Gansui, also known as Seven Leaves and One Branch, which is also medicine and poison, and its toxicity is to make men infertile. At that time, Su Jinan had just crossed over, and there was nothing in her hand, and the only offensive herb in the small courtyard where she and Shen Wanjun lived was only this smell, and Shen Wanjun's situation was not quite right at that time, so she mixed Bai Gansui into Lin Wenguo's tea in order to leave a card in her and Shen Wanjun's hands. After all, it was Su Jin'an's first time using poison, she remembered it very clearly, she remembered that she thought about giving up at that time, and now that she thinks about it, she is very glad that she didn't give up at that time, a person like Lin Wenguo, who only has fame and fortune in his heart and no favor, is not worthy of being someone else's husband, let alone a father.

Hearing that Lin Wenguo was looking for Jun Li, Su Jinan really wanted to laugh, but she felt even more sarcastic, she didn't know how Lin Wenguo would feel if she knew that Jun Li was once his daughter, she really wanted to see the expression on his face at that time.

"It doesn't matter what he wants to see, just let him find it, and then give him a little bit of information when he's about to give up." Su Jin'an's eyes were dangerous.

"Yes, the slave knows what to do." Powderfrost had a wicked smile on her face, and she didn't want anyone who hurt Miss.

Su Jinan waved away the powder cream and purple beads, and continued to use the scissors in his hand to continue to trim the Mai Xian Weng in front of him, but what he was thinking about was Lin Wenguo's business. Lin Wenguo is not a fool after all, he has only one daughter under his knees for so many years, and if he has no heirs, even if he doesn't want to believe it, he can't change the fact that he has a physical problem, secretly he has used many methods, Su Jinan took a lot of effort to stop him, and now that he took the initiative to hit her gun, how could she let the opportunity slip away in vain?

The news that Zizhu brought back relieved Su Jin'an's unhappiness in the past few days, and she felt comfortable knowing that Lin Wenguo was having a bad time. Su Jin'an, who was in a good mood, took Xia Qu to Mei's place to eat, Mei's saw that her daughter was very happy, so she added a few more dishes to the small kitchen that Su Jin'an loved to eat, Su Mu did not come back today, and the mother and daughter had a warm meal for two.

In the blink of an eye, it is another year of grass and warbler flying, the breath of spring permeates every corner of the imperial city, many noble families began to prepare for the spring banquet, men have men's tea tasting and poetry meetings, women have women's flower appreciation and listening to the opera banquet, in short, I feel that everyone has entered the track of their own lives. Su Fu has often received some invitations these days, especially in the third room, Su Mu's sudden rise caught people off guard, people in the officialdom have always been many people who see the wind and steer the rudder, so Su Mu's entertainment is naturally indispensable, and even Su Mu's sons have also received invitations from the younger generation in the capital, Su Jinan and Mei's have not had Su Mu and their father and son for a few days.

On this day, the weather was sunny and windless, it was a good weather, Su Jinan was thinking about how to go out of the house, Mei's side just mentioned the big girl Caiying came, Powder Frost led her to see Su Jin'an, Caiying saluted Su Jin'an in a regular manner: "Miss, Madame, please come over." ”

Su Jinan raised her head and looked at Caiying, who was dressed in a blue spring dress: "Sister Lao Caiying, I don't know what my mother is looking for me?" ”

Cai Yingsheng said that she didn't dare to take it seriously, and then continued: "It's Mrs. Ankang Hou who posted a flower appreciation banquet, Madame, please go over and discuss." ”

"Ankang Hou Mansion? The Xie family? Su Jinan still has some impressions of this family, after all, the surname Xie is her big patron of Linlang Pavilion!

"The Marquis of Ankang is indeed surnamed Xie." Caiying wasn't sure if the Xie family Su Jin'an was talking about was the Ankang Hou Mansion.

Su Jinan listened to it: "Oh-that's probably it." You go back first, I'll change my clothes and go to see my mother." ”

After Caiying left, Su Jin'an thought about the Ankang Marquis Xie Qingshan, that is also a strange person, it is said that this Marquis is very affectionate, in the backyard in addition to the wife of the famous concubines There are more than 20 people, these women have given birth to sixteen children for him, although monogamy and multiple concubines are implemented in this era, but in addition to the emperor, it is rare for people to have such a scale of concubines, after all, the cost of just raising these people will not be small, but this Hou Ye is not bad for money, or it is impossible to become a guest of her Linlang Pavilion, I don't know if he has any unique way to make money.

Su Jinan changed into a goose-yellow spring shirt and went to Mei's yard, Mei was looking at the gilded invitation on the table and thinking about something, Su Jinan didn't know when she walked in.

"Mother-" Su Jin'an whispered in Mei's ear.

Mei Shi turned around and saw her daughter's smiling face: "Coming?" Sit down. ”

Saying that, Mei pulled Su Jin'an to his side, and then pushed the post in front of Su Jin'an: "Look. This is a post from the Ankang Hou Mansion, which was sent directly to the third room, and it was also pointed out that you should go too. ”

Su Jinan looked at the invitation of the Hou Mansion of Ankang in front of him, which was even gilded with gold, this Hou Mansion is indeed quite rich: "Mother, the banquet of the Hou Mansion is not easy to refuse, we still have to go, right?" ”

"Yes, we can't refuse this post, the date is set in five days, and we still have time to make you a spring shirt." Since he decided to go, Mei began to prepare, pulled Su Jinan and talked about the clothes and jewelry that should be prepared that day, and did not let Su Jinan go back to rest until after lunch.

When Su Jin'an was leaving, she prayed to Mei: "Mother, I haven't been out of the house for a long time, and I want to go out for a walk, do you think there is any way?" ”

Mei Shi nodded Su Jin'an's forehead: "You! It's all big girls, why do you still want to go out and play all day long. ”

Although he said so, looking at his daughter's expectant eyes, Mei Shi still couldn't bear to refuse, so he said: "I'll go to find your aunt to go out of the right cards, but at most two hours, come back early, the capital is not as good as Huailing, you have to be more restrained." ”

Su Jinan listened to Mei's words and was as happy as a pepper: "Okay! It's better to be a mother, and I'll definitely come back on time. As he spoke, he rushed over and hugged Mei, who smiled and said that she was not dignified, but she couldn't hear the meaning of blame at all.

Su Jin'an happily returned to his courtyard and instructed Xia Qu: "I'll rest for a while, you remember to put it away when your mother sends the right cards over, and you and Powder Cream will accompany me to Linlang Pavilion in the afternoon." ”

"Yes, miss."

Su Jin was worried about going to Linlang Pavilion in the afternoon, and before Xia Qu could call her, she squinted for a while and then woke up, and took Xia Qu and Powder Cream out of Su Mansion together.

The flow of people on the street outside is not very large, but there are a lot of people, you can see people walking everywhere, and there are occasionally small vendors selling on the roadside, Su Jinan asked the coachman to find a secluded place to stop, and walked to Linlang Pavilion with Xia Qu and Powder Cream, and by the way, look at the street market where people come and go.

When Su Jinan walked to Linlang Pavilion and found that there were guests inside, Su Jinan turned to a store selling books, calligraphy and paintings next to her, and as soon as she entered the door, a small servant in the store stepped forward: "This young lady, but I want to see calligraphy and paintings, the things in our store, they are absolutely genuine!" ”

As soon as the little girl looked at the girl's dress, he knew that she was not an ordinary lady, and the maids around her looked more imposing than ordinary girls, so he vigorously introduced the items in the store: "Miss, we have Mr. Lu Zhongxing's paintings here, Mr. Li Zhizhi's words, and ......."

Before the little guy's tirade was finished, Su Jinan stopped in front of a painting: "This is?" ”

The little guy glanced at the painting in front of Su Jin'an, and replied: "Miss has a good eye, this painting was just obtained by our owner a few days ago, and it was painted by a person named 'Qi Zhai Weng' in the south. ”

Su Jinan looked at the snow scene in front of him and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, it turned out that the eldest brother's paintings had already been circulated to the capital: "Wrap it up, I want it." ”

"Okay, wait a minute." The little guy happily hugged the painting and went to pack. Su Jinan took the painting and saw that Linlang Pavilion was empty for the time being, so he walked in to find Uncle Qing.
