Chapter 709: How should she ask Xiao Tingchen for it?
"Uncle!"
Su Jiu ran to the back door of the Prince's Mansion in one breath and recognized the middle-aged man sitting on the steps at a glance.
After many years, his temples have turned gray, and even his back is much less.
The tip of Su Jiu's nose was sour, and his soft and glutinous voice carried a thick longing, "Uncle! ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly got up and turned to her, his eyes suddenly reddened, "Xiaojiu!" ”
Su Jiu rushed over, hugged Uncle Su's waist, and tears fell to his clothes.
Uncle Su touched her head dotingly, "What an old girl, why are you still coquettish with your uncle?" ”
"I miss my uncle very much...... Su Jiu wiped his tears, looked up and smiled at him stupidly, "It's Xiaojiu who is not filial, he has been in Chang'an for more than two years, but he hasn't returned to Jinling to visit his uncle once." ”
She grabbed the man's rough palm, "Uncle came to Chang'an this time, but he plans to stay here?" ”
"That's what I mean." Uncle Su stroked her thin back, "It's just, you ...... wine"
He wanted to speak, but he stopped.
Su wine is sazed.
She wrote to her uncle a few months ago, saying that she had become Princess Yong.
But now she is dressed in a servant girl's costume, and she is disgraced, and her uncle must be suspicious.
She lowered her head, "It's a long story, I'll talk to my uncle more about it later...... By the way, uncle, when Yanziji caught fire, my mother was hit on the head by a beam, and she is still unconscious, relying on pills to hang her breath. She now lives at the inn, and is cared for by my two maidservants. Why don't you go see her? ”
"Nature." Uncle Su held her little hand, and a firm glint crossed his eyes, "I came to Chang'an this time, mainly for your mother." ”
Su Jiu couldn't hear the deep meaning of his words, and saw that the Jiang family and Su Liu were still sitting in the carriage, but they didn't see Su Tang.
She wondered, "Uncle, what about my cousin?" ”
After asking, she noticed a special aura on the man's body.
Exceptionally powerful and awe-inspiring, she was faintly familiar.
"Uncle?" Su was puzzled.
Uncle Su smiled, "There are some family secrets, and it's not time to explain them to Xiaojiu." ”
Su Jiu tentatively: "Something to do with the Southern Xinjiang royal family?" ”
Uncle Su was stunned, "You already know?" ”
He took Su Jiu and sat on the steps under the eaves, and talked to her about the royal family in southern Xinjiang.
"A few decades ago, the major families in southern Xinjiang were divided into political powers, and they fought against each other, which led to turmoil in the imperial court. In order to avoid disaster, the royal family of southern Xinjiang fled from Jiangdu and hid from the world. Your mother and I are the children born to the first emperor in the process of fleeing. Xiaojiu, I have witnessed the cruelty of the struggle for power in the southern Xinjiang family, I agreed with your mother to settle in Daqi, and never return to Jiangdu in this life.
"It's a pity that the family is not willing to let us go. The fire in Yanziji was caused by the assassins sent by the family. I killed those assassins, but I mistakenly thought that your mother was buried in the fire, so I can only take you back to Xiaowan Village. ”
Su wine is clear.
No wonder the powerful aura on my uncle's body just now was a little familiar, it turned out that the person who rescued her from the sea of fire in Yanziji was my uncle.
She looked at her uncle.
The man lowered his eyes, his body was cold and vicissitudes, with the helplessness unique to middle-aged men.
is very different from the honest and honest man on weekdays.
She was confused, "That cousin ......"
Uncle Su pondered the wording, "We were on our way to Chang'an when we were discovered by spies in southern Xinjiang. They were loyal to different families, and some families wanted peace to restore peace in southern Xinjiang, so they embraced the royal family. Your cousin ...... him."
"He has returned to southern Xinjiang to inherit the throne." Su Jiu said it for him, "It's just that Southern Xinjiang is dangerous, cousin he...... Can you parry? ”
"It was the path he chose, and he said that his things were robbed by others, and only if he was strong enough could he have a chance to regain them." Uncle Su sighed helplessly, "Your aunt and cousin still think that your cousin has gone to the frontier to join the army, so you don't have to say anything in front of them." Your aunt loves her son, and you know it. ”
Su Jiu nodded sensibly.
She glanced at her aunt, who was looking around from the carriage, dressed in ordinary clothes with patches on her sleeves......
It can be seen that he is not rich.
She said softly: "Uncle will go to the inn to live first, I still have some money, I have a chance to take it out and give it to my uncle." You set up a small house in the long-term settlement, and add some clothes and jewelry for your aunt and cousin. ”
Uncle Su is indeed nervous about money.
Although he has a good kung fu, the traces of southern Xinjiang are too strong, and he has been disguised as an ordinary crop man for fear of being discovered over the years, and he does not dare to show it.
In addition, he is honest by nature, so he doesn't know how to get rich.
He frowned, "But Uncle sees that you are in a difficult situation, where can you get the silver?" ”
"Uncle, don't worry about me, I always have a way." Su Jiu smiled sweetly.
Seeing off his uncle's family, Su Jiu walked along the hand-copying verandah to the kitchen.
Embroidered shoes tap and tap, she hesitated.
She did have a box of silver tickets in King Yong's Mansion in the past, and there were tens of thousands of taels hidden in it.
It's just that......
How should she ask Xiao Tingchen for it?
The girl turned the corner and just happened to bump into Rong Yu who came out to visit the garden.
She took two steps back and bowed her head in a salute.
In the corner of his eye, he saw that Rong Yu's face was ugly, and his eyebrows were unhappy.
She was curious in her heart, she had become the crown prince's concubine, why did Rong Yu look like she was going to die?
Rong Yu also recognized her.
She shook her veil angrily, "Who am I, it turns out to be you......"
"I've seen the side concubine." Su wine sounds like gnats.
Rong Yu rolled his eyes, sat down on the beauty, and said coldly: "Listen to my brother, you were locked in a black prison by the prince for a whole month?" It's miserable, right? ”
"What happened to me, I don't need to worry about the side concubine."
Rong Yu sneered, "My father and brother were exiled, my mother was unconscious, and I was reduced from the daughter of the Guogong Mansion to a maidservant. Su Jiu, if I were you, I might as well crash to death! ”
Su Jiu's face was calm, "How easy it is to die, just find a tall building and jump over, or cut your wrist with a knife, you can die." But what problem does death solve? If I die, will my father and brother come back from the frontier? Will my mother wake up? ”
Rong Yu choked.
She stared at Su Jiu for a long time, and said coldly: "I used to think you hated you, but now I hate it even more!" You and the crown prince are not from the same road at all, why would he-"
It took a lot of effort for her to suppress the "I like you" that she was about to blurt out.
She has been married to the prince for many days, but the prince has no intention of touching her at all!
I heard that even Kazuki Ji has never been favored by the prince!
Su Jiu didn't notice the jealousy on Rong Yu's face, bowed back to her, and went straight to the small kitchen.
Before she even stepped into the kitchen, she smelled a burning smell from afar!
The girl's face changed greatly, and she hurried in, and was stumbling with the tongs and hurriedly pulling out the firewood.
As if hearing footsteps, he turned his head and cried with a sad face, "Miss, I'm sorry for you......"
A beautiful little maid had just come to the kitchen, and he was patronizing and talking, and for a moment he forgot about the fire in the stove.
The corners of Su Jiu's mouth twitched, and he silently scooped up the crab roe porridge, which should have been soft and fragrant, but it exuded a mushy smell, although it was not impossible to eat, but Xiao Tingchen was the kind of person......
