Chapter 948: Grain and Grass
After leaving the Wei Mansion, Su Jin returned to the inn.
The folding fan was returned to Young Master Lin, and the matter of the Wei Mansion was temporarily suppressed, and she could leave Suzhou without distraction.
Pack up your baggage, wait for the coachman and the servant to return, and then you can set off, stay on the boat for the night, and set off early tomorrow morning.
It's just that Su Jin's plan is very good, but he missed the coachman and the servant who were bought by Governor Sun.
After waiting at the inn, the coachman did not return.
On the contrary, he waited for Young Master Lin to come, and he sent back the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone that Su Jin gave him.
Su Jin looked at him and said, "Young Master Lin, what are you doing, you can't look down on the four treasures of the study room I picked?" ”
Young Master Lin hurriedly said, "It's Brother Xie's gift that is too valuable, I dare not take it seriously." ”
Su Jin said with a smile, "Young Master Lin gave me the guest room, but he almost ended up on the street, what does it matter if I give a thank you gift?" ”
"Since it was given to you, how can there be any reason to return it?"
Young Master Lin refused to accept it.
Su Jin said, "If you don't accept it, then I'll throw it away." ”
Young Master Lin has never seen Su Jin like this, so he can't accept it.
Xing'er was still thinking about Mrs. Lin being a matchmaker for her girl, and she said, "Isn't the relationship between the Lin family and the Wei family quite good, why didn't you make a matchmaker for Young Master Wei and let him fall into the hands of Governor Sun?" ”
Young Master Lin didn't know how to explain it.
Because it's a bit complicated.
Mrs. Lin thinks that Young Master Wei is a good person and intends to get married.
But the eldest girl of the Wei family married the Liu family, and the eldest wife of the Liu family wanted to marry her maiden daughter to him, but Mrs. Lin disagreed.
The Wei family is afraid that they will marry the Lin family, and their daughter who will marry will not be treated by Mrs. Liu at that time......
Because Young Master Lin hadn't mentioned his own sister, it was inconvenient to talk about these things, so he only smiled awkwardly, "Before my mother had time to start, she gave Governor Sun the first place." ”
This is the prevarication of Young Master Lin, Su Jin didn't believe it, Xing'er did.
It's because I regretted missing the opportunity, so I hurried to start when I saw her girl, and people always have to eat a trench to grow wise.
Seeing that Su Jin had packed up his baggage, Young Master Lin said, "Brother Xie is leaving Suzhou?" ”
"When the little guy comes back, I'll set off," Su Jin said.
"In the future, if I have the opportunity, I will come to visit Young Master Lin."
Young Master Lin was a little regretful.
Although he has known Brother Xie for a short time, Brother Xie's conversation is often refreshing, and he has already introduced Brother Xie as a confidant.
Young Master Lin wanted to send Su Jin away.
It's a pity that Su Jin doesn't know when the little guy will come back, and why he has repeatedly delayed him.
Besides, she and Young Master Lin don't have anything to talk about.
If you stay for a long time, you are afraid of revealing your stuffing.
After seeing off Young Master Lin, Su Jin continued to wait for the coachman and the little servant.
Waiting and waiting, the people who waited were impatient, and Steward Zhou sent someone to Governor Sun's mansion to inquire about the situation of the coachman and the servant.
Well.
The coachman and the boy have reached the pinnacle of their lives.
Governor Sun held a banquet to entertain them, and there were singers singing and dancing, so happy.
After all, he was caught, and he was entertained with bad food and drink, in case he went back to Beijing and said about Suzhou, it was not easy to think about this family matter.
Knowing that they had drunk too much, Su Jin was a little worried that the coachman was talking nonsense while drunk.
Steward Zhou sent someone to pick him up, but he was sent back by the people of the Sun Mansion.
In the evening, the people of the Sun Mansion sent the coachman and the servant to the inn.
The coachman was drunk, and the little guy was still sober.
Xing'er poured cold water on the coachman's face and didn't wake anyone up.
Xing'er looked at Su Jin, "What should I do?" ”
"Carry him into the house," Su Jin said.
Steward Zhou asked the little guy, "But what should you say that you shouldn't say?" ”
The little guy shook his head, "No, I didn't say a word." ”
Although he is only a small guy, he drinks very well.
The coachman was not bad at drinking, he was drunk, but he said a few words, but there was no problem.
He is a little maid in the Beauty Pavilion, and this time he is responsible for sending the princess of Zhenbei Wang......
As much as he had said that, the man fainted on the table unconscious.
is drunk and so vigilant, worthy of being a person in the Beauty Pavilion.
The little guy took out a thousand taels from his arms, "This is the hush money given to us by Governor Sun, and the coachman and I are one thousand taels." ”
He didn't dare to take this money.
Steward Zhou took the silver ticket, rewarded the little servant with five taels of silver, and handed the silver ticket to Xing'er.
Apricot is the one you give, and I will receive.
Steward Zhou said, "The princess has a good rest, and she will leave early tomorrow." ”
A good night's sleep.
The next day, after breakfast, we set off.
It's just that as soon as he left Suzhou Mansion, the Zhou family came quickly.
The little guy ran in a hurry, almost crashed into the carriage, and tightened the reins.
Steward Zhou saw it and said, "What's wrong, running in such a hurry?" ”
The little servant hurriedly said, "Something is wrong, the ship that transports grain and grass to the border by the imperial court was set on fire, and all the grain and grass were burned. ”
"The three ships lent to the imperial court by our Zhou family were also burned."
Compared with the ship, the loss of food and grass is the big thing.
Fortunately, they stopped in Suzhou, otherwise the enemy would have burned grain and grass and would have killed them together.
Those thieves who burn grain and grass don't know whether they have walked or not, and this waterway is afraid that it is not safe.
The little guy who stayed on the ship couldn't make up his mind, and he didn't know when Steward Zhou would come back, as soon as he learned the news of the accident on the grain ship, he hurriedly told Steward Zhou.
Steward Zhou's brows tightened.
Su Jin sat in the carriage and sneered.
Bring the sand and stones onto the ship, and then set a fire to burn the light, and the gods will not know it.
Steward Zhou looked at Su Jindao, "I'm afraid I can't leave the waterway these days, even if I'm in a hurry, I can't take this risk." ”
The Zhou family's goods can't take risks, and the princess of Zhenbei Wang can't take risks.
Su Jin thought for a while and said, "Let's go back to Suzhou Mansion first." ”
The little guy looked at Steward Zhou and said, "What about that batch of goods?" ”
"The cargo is a small matter, let's dock the ship in Suzhou Mansion first," Zhou said.
The little guy was a little confused.
How could this be what Steward Zhou said?
He values the goods more than anything else.
Steward Zhou asked people to turn around and go back to Suzhou Mansion.
Su Jin stayed back in the room of the inn.
After going back, the first thing Su Jin did was to write a letter.
Originally, she also planned to ask Steward Zhou to help her send a letter back to Kyoto, but she was not in such a hurry, and now she had to write it.
And this letter is very important, find an ordinary little guy to send, Su Jin is really not at ease.
She thought of Young Master Lin.
After Su Jin wrote the letter, he went to the Lin Mansion again.
Young Master Lin had just learned the news that the grain ship had an accident at the junction of Suzhou and Lizhou, and he was afraid that Su Jin would be in danger when he took the ship, but he didn't expect Su Jin to come to him.
Su Jin knew that there was an accident with the grain and grass, but he didn't know that it was at the junction of Suzhou and Lizhou.
This place is well chosen.
Grain and grass accidents, this is a big deal.
Suzhou and Lizhou are unwilling to bear such a fault, and when the time comes, it will be even more difficult to investigate the case of burning grain and grass.
Young Master Lin looked at Su Jindao and said, "Brother Xie is here?" ”
Su Jin took out the letter and said, "I came to find Young Master Lin this time because I need your help. ”
"What's the matter?" Young Master Lin asked.
"Help me deliver this letter to Kyoto and personally deliver it to the old man."
