Chapter 355: One Step Closer

Xu Xiuning didn't stay long, and stood up after burning the coins.

Walking back with the empty basket, Xu Xiuning looked at Su Wanniang, who was standing on the side of the road waiting for him, and his heart was hot.

The pace under his feet was unconsciously faster, the wind was still blowing, and at this moment, Xu Xiuning only noticed the cold.

"Why don't you go inside the carriage? My hands are cold! ”

Xu Xiuning walked over quickly, reached out and grabbed Su Wanniang, wrapping her hands when she was blushing.

The difference between men's hands and women's, Xu Xiuning felt that his own lady was too delicate, and his onion-like hands were also very soft.

Su Wanniang looked at Xu Xiuning holding her hand worriedly, and used the temperature of his palm to convey a trace of warmth to her. The tender appearance almost made her drown in his gentle eyes.

However, Xu Xiuning didn't give her much time to react, and after warming up for a while, he pulled her into the carriage.

It didn't take long for a hot soup woman to take his place.

Guhuai Town was too cold and desolate, Xu Xiuning didn't wait long when he came over with his two children, so he drove a carriage to Anding County.

The return journey always felt so fast, and more than an hour later, the two carriages stopped outside a bamboo tea house in Anding County.

After a simple meal, the family sat down and rested.

"I'm going to leave for the capital in a few days, you and the child will go with me, or ......"

Xu Xiuning suddenly spoke, and the words mentioned were still this, which made Su Wanniang a little unable to come back to her senses.

Even, Xu Xiuning's later words were not spoken.

He naturally hoped that the lady and the child would go to the capital with him, and if this continued, the battle in the northwest would not be fought again. Although I don't know when the truce will last, since Tianchu has closed the prince of Nanliang, he is naturally not afraid of anything.

Unless Nan Liang doesn't care about the life or death of the prince, he fights hard to break the net.

However, except for Xu Xiuning, at least there will be no war in the short term.

Because of this, he decided to let Su Wanniang take the child to the capital together.

It's just that after seeing his own lady hear his words, there is no reaction on his face, which also makes him puzzled. But Xu Xiuning has also seen it in this short period of time, his wife is a happy and quiet person, and I am afraid that she doesn't like the prosperous life in the capital.

When Su Wanniang heard Xu Xiuning mention this matter at first glance, she couldn't come back to her senses, and when she saw a faint sense of loss flashing in his eyes, she didn't feel a little bad in her heart.

Looking at the babbling and well-behaved daughter in her arms, Su Wanniang had an idea in her heart again.

"I won't leave Mid-Levels for a while!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Xiuning's face stiffened, and then he sneered: "That's okay......

Seeing this, Su Wanniang explained: "It's not that I don't want to go, it's just that An Ning is still young, and if I go to the capital, I'm afraid I won't be able to stand the journey." ”

Besides, how do they live in Shangjing?

Su Wanniang knows that at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it is not enough to pay attention to silver.

If there is no person in power to back, it is useless to have mountains of gold and silver.

When Xu Xiuning heard Su Wanniang's tactful words, her eyes suddenly lit up, and her face unconsciously brought a little unspeakable joy.

The lady is like this, she doesn't reject herself, she even cares about herself! Otherwise, it wouldn't have been explained that way.

felt as if he had drunk honey in his heart, and Xu Xiuning's eyebrows and eyes were crooked.

"You're right, but I didn't think it through."

Su Wanniang saw that he didn't insist, so she also put her mind at ease.

Xu Xiuning also said what he should have said, and when he got Su Wanniang's answer, he felt comfortable and relieved, so he no longer bothered about whether to go to the capital or not.

When he had rested enough, he paid the money and set out.

Sitting in the carriage, Su Wanniang spoke: "I want to buy some things here, will it be too delayed?" ”

Xu Xiuning was driving the carriage with his face, and when he heard Su Wanniang's words, he smiled and said, "No, don't worry, you can buy whatever you want." ”

When Su Wanniang heard his words, she couldn't help but recall the things in the inn and the pharmacy before.

Xu Xiuning, who was originally from the northwest, naturally knew more about the northwest than Su Wanniang.

"I want to buy some Northwest specialties, and if I have fur or something, I want to buy some."

Whether it's for your own use or for sale, it's a good choice.

What's more, he has enough money in his hand.

When Xu Xiuning heard this, he began to think about what was sold in the northwest, what things were good, and so on.

Along the way, the two chatted a lot, and Su Wanniang found that Xu Xiuning, a scholar, actually knew about the trivial matter of firewood, rice, oil and salt. He even knows where to buy what and which one is the best.

In addition, to Su Wanniang's surprise, Xu Xiuning also knew some leather merchants, which brought her some surprises.

Fur traders collected the furs and sold them to the south or north, and the price increased more than tenfold.

And if they buy it here, or even take it from a furrier, they can get a lower price.

Xu Xiuning also said that he could help go to the home of his former classmate to inquire, the northwest is vast and sparsely populated, there are many wild beasts, and there are many local hunters.

Su Wanniang was overjoyed, and the conversation between the two unconsciously narrowed the relationship.

It's just that Su Wanniang didn't notice it.

Xu Xiuning said all the way, although she didn't look back, but she could hear her joy from Su Wanniang's happy tone.

For this reason, Xu Xiuning had a gentle smile on his face along the way, giving people a feeling like a spring breeze.

All the way back to Jingxi Mansion City, the family still rested at the Yuelai Inn.

By the early morning of the next day, everyone had breakfast early.

"You take these silver tickets first, and if you really negotiate it, you should pay the fixed amount."

After eating, Su Wanniang put a few silver tickets on the table.

The denomination she gave was not large, only a hundred taels of silver tickets, a total of five.

Xu Xiuning wiped his mouth, glanced at the silver ticket on the table, shook his head and said, "It's okay, you can rest assured!" With that, he said he was leaving, and then got up and left.

That speed was so fast that Su Wanniang couldn't react.

Leave the silver ticket on the table and leave it alone.

Because of the previous hurry, the little ones were a little lacking in energy, so Su Wanniang let them continue to rest after eating.

Su Quan went out early in the morning to inquire about Su Wanniang's explanation, and Su Qing was also sent out by Su Wanniang to go around and buy some snacks or something.

In the guest room, only the mother and son were left.

Su Wanniang was lying on the bed telling a little story, and the two children listened with wide eyes.

Although Xu Anning didn't understand, she thought that her mother was talking to her, and she answered with a babbling mouth, which was very lively.

But after all, it was a child, and it didn't take long to yawn.

Xu Junhao listened to the story for a while, and then drooped his eyelids in a daze, and Su Wanniang covered them with a quilt, and then returned to the outer room.

The doors and windows were tied, and Su Wanniang flashed into the space.

I haven't entered the space for several days, and the space has been fruitful, and even the clusters are growing scary.

Su Wanniang didn't have the time to take care of these, so she could only sort out some of the things that could be sold, and then go to the Lingquan Pool to scoop water.

Lingquan Pool had become bigger because of the upgrade before, and Su Wanniang hadn't cared about it for a long time, but when she looked at it today, she actually found a big difference.

As soon as she approached, Su Wanniang felt something strange, looked up, and was so surprised that she couldn't speak.
