Chapter 079: Concealment
Mrs. Xie was full of anger and vented her dissatisfaction with her son-in-law and Yangzhou Sufu.
Su Youhua was frightened, hurriedly stood up, and explained: "Brother Qian is a good one, but this matter is too sudden, and my son-in-law can't make a decision for a while, can my mother-in-law let me go back and think about it for a few days?" He always had to ask the girl's opinion before deciding, and if the girl didn't agree, he would find another reason to refuse.
Seeing his cautious attitude, Mrs. Xie was dissatisfied, and the seven points in her eyes were gone, and she stopped talking with tea.
Su Youhua didn't delay for a moment, he hurriedly returned to the prefect's mansion, and without even changing his clothes, he went directly to Jinnian's residence.
Jin Nian was drinking Xie Qian's newly roasted chrysanthemum tea, which was sweet and mellow, which made her very appetizing.
Seeing her father coming in a hurry, her heart tightened, and she hurriedly stood up and asked, "Father, what happened?" ”
Seeing the worry on the girl's face, Su Youhua smiled bitterly, he lost his cool in the girl's family affairs.
He smiled sappingly at Jin Nian and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just came back from outside, so I wanted to come and see you earlier." ”
It's okay! Jin Nian was relieved, she poured tea for her father, and said with a smile: "This chrysanthemum tea was given by my cousin, my daughter thinks it's good to drink it, and my father will have a cup too, it is dry in autumn, just moisturizing the lungs." ”
As she spoke, she poured tea into the blue and white teacup, and the clear tea soup escaped the fragrant smell.
Su Youhua's eyes were suffocated, okay, you Xie Qian, do your homework on her and his girl!
Su Youhua couldn't wait for a moment, and after taking a sip of tea, he put down the teacup, suppressed his voice and asked, "Sister Nian, what do you think of your eldest cousin?" ”
Jin Nian was stunned, why did his father ask exactly the same as what his grandmother asked? Could it be that my grandmother had already talked to my father?
She was suddenly a little embarrassed, looked down at the tea soup in the teacup, and said, "My cousin is very good......
Su Youhua frowned, the girl meant that she didn't object to her relationship with Xie Qian?
He was worried that he would be wrong, so he delayed the girl, so he simply asked directly with a little caution: "Then the father will set you as your eldest cousin, do you think it's good?" ”
Yes?
Jin Nian was silent, she didn't expect her grandmother to move so fast, and she didn't expect her father to talk to her about family affairs.
Su Youhua saw that she was stunned, and asked again with a smile: "What do you think of Sister Nian?" ”
Jin Nian looked at her father and saw that he had a solemn expression, completely discussing it as if she were an adult.
She thought of her father's protection in her previous life, she didn't have the twist of ordinary girls when they talked about family affairs, she smiled silently and nodded. If you have to get married, then your cousin is indeed a good choice!
Su Youhua was a little surprised when he saw her calm, and then remembered that his own girl would soon be someone else's family, so he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, and smiled reluctantly: "For my father to know, ask someone to set the meal!" ”
Jin Nian didn't know her father's thoughts, she smiled and told Du Juan to go to the kitchen to call someone to serve food: "The daughter specially instructed the kitchen to make her father's favorite dried soup, which is made according to the method taught by her mother, and my father must use it more." ”
Su Youhua smiled cooperatively.
When the dried soup was served, he smelled a familiar taste, but he didn't feel that it was as delicious as the one he had made before, and he was reluctant to move after eating half full!
When using tea after dinner, Jin Nian remembered that her father had only drunk a sip of chrysanthemum tea just now, so she instructed Du Juan to brew Baihao tea, which was given by Li Lie.
Su Youhua picked up the tea cup and sniffed it gently, the tea was fragrant, and he saw that the tea soup was tender and green, he took a sip gently, the tea soup was mellow and fresh, and the aftertaste was sweet and long, it was a rare good tea!
Because of this fresh tea soup, the depression in his heart was alleviated a lot.
Father's appreciative look made Jin Nian also happy, and she asked with a smile, "Father also thinks this tea is good?" ”
Su Youhua nodded and said, "Not bad!" Where did this tea come from, it looks like a white silver needle in Fujian, but the color and smell of the soup are completely different. ”
Certainly different! Jin Nian smiled, "My daughter also got it by chance, I heard that this is the southwest toast picked from the peak of the mist-shrouded land, it is extremely rare, the locals say that this tea is white hair tea......"
These are what Li Lie's guards Zhanfeng said to Du Juan.
Su Youhua frowned, when did her girl even know about the affairs in the southwest, and she got such a good tea, but it was not sent by Xie Qian's kid. This hasn't gotten married yet, so why don't you know how to shy away from it?
He was hesitating whether to mention a word or two about the girl, but the cuckoo who was pouring tea on the side said with a smile: "The third master doesn't know, this tea was given to Miss by the British Princess, and Miss hasn't opened it yet!" ”
Su Youhua was surprised, looked at her girl curiously, and asked, "Sister Nian knows the British princess?" ”
Jin Nian glared at Du Juan, and with some headaches, he told Su Youhua about Li Lie's borrowing of books and later meeting in the post station outside Yangzhou City.
Su Youhua nodded and sighed: "The British Duke went to the southwest this time, and the resistance he encountered was not small, and he remembered to bring you a tea leaf as a gift, which was also difficult for him!" ”
Jin Nian was surprised, she thought that Li Lie's southwest party was going well, but she didn't expect to encounter obstacles?
Without thinking about it, she asked, "But the Cochin side is disturbing the southwest again?" ”
In June, the news of Jiaozhi burning and killing border people in the southwest area spread all over the Great Zhou, and when the girl asked, Su Youhua also said a few more words, "That's not it, Jiaozhi disturbed the border, it actually happened in April, but the Southwest Army dragged on for two months, and it was not reported to the imperial court by the Zhennan Houfu until June." ”
Why? Jin Nian looked at his father suspiciously.
Now this matter is no secret in the officialdom, Su Youhua said: "In April, when Jiaozhi was dry and green and yellow, he crossed the border to plunder. The Southwestern Army resisted at that time and drove them back to Cochin. But who knew that the southwest army was so happy that it crossed the border to attack the enemy, fell into an ambush, and lost nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses. ”
"The Southwest Army did not dare to report it to the Zhennan Houfu, or the Zhennan Houfu deliberately concealed it, for fear of taking responsibility, and delayed it until June, when it was reported.
Jin Nian was stunned!
It turned out that Li Lie's trip to the southwest was not smooth, and it involved the Houfu in the south of the town, no wonder he was reluctant to mention it when he asked about the southwest at the post station.
The wound on his hand was left when he was in the Southwest, right?
If I remember correctly, in the previous life, Zhennan Houfu belonged to the faction of the queen and the king of Jin, and was in the hostile camp with Gu Yanyi.
And Li Lie, as an emerging person in charge of the army, seemed to be neutral when she died, and I don't know what method he used, when the dispute between the two parties was fierce, he could still be alone!
She suddenly sighed a little, the road to fame of heroes is bumpy, and perhaps it is because of these hardships that Li Lie, who will become famous in the future!
