Chapter 183
"That's why my father went in a hurry?"
"No, I wasn't sure if something was wrong at the time, so the lord sent several waves of people to look for it, but after searching for nearly a month, he still didn't find it. After those people came back one by one, they said that not only the goods, but also no one was found. We're sure something is wrong. I just don't know where these things were robbed, and why there are no people left. From Yangzhou to Weicheng, the road is far away, mountain bandits and bandits have also encountered, but they are generally robbed, our people have also paid them a lot of tolls, although there are occasional lost things, but never encountered even people have disappeared. “
"Why didn't you tell me sooner!" Su Yingxue was furious and slammed the table, feeling no pain under the great anger.
Steward Liu blushed and bowed his head silently.
After Su Yingxue was angry, she also felt that she had done something too much.
The affairs of the Su family, whether up and down or inside and outside, when can she be in charge? I had been out for a long time, and I forgot about it for a while. Liu Yuhe is also an old man in Sufu, not to mention himself, even his father and mother rarely give him no face like this.
"Fang is my gaffe, Uncle Liu, please forgive me!" Su Yingxue apologized.
Steward Liu's face softened slightly, and he didn't dare to say anything. Then he asked: "These are all arranged by the master before, and the people brought by the master are enough to ensure his safety, why is the girl so panicked?" “
Maybe it's because you're young and haven't done anything, so you're scared, right? Steward Liu said in his heart.
Su Yingxue rubbed her eyebrows with her hands, and when she heard this, she raised her head and looked at Steward Liu. After all, she is young, and after so many things, the only one she can rely on now is the housekeeper. Thinking of this, he told the housekeeper everything he knew and speculated.
The housekeeper didn't think anything at first, but the more he listened, the more stiff his face became, and then he trembled a little. They only knew that Qin Sangongzi had left Yangzhou, but they didn't know that he was also smuggled out. What a coincidence!
The housekeeper hurriedly said: "The girl is very worried, I will send more people to find it!" “
"Again? The person who went to find it is gone? Su Yingxue asked.
"Yes, I left yesterday afternoon. I have already instructed them to gallop all the way, not to spare money, to change horses along the road as quickly as possible, and to reach Yiyang in about ten days. When the time comes, whether the master arrives in Yiyang or not, it will be clear if there is anything. It's just that in a hurry, I don't send many people, so just in case, I should send more people. “
has already set off, Su Yingxue felt a little relieved, ten days, it is indeed very fast. It took her half a month to get here from Bazhou, let alone Yiyang. Hopefully everything will be in time.
"Don't tell Madame about this. She's just better, she can't be frightened! Su Yingxue explained.
The butler replied and withdrew to arrange things. Su Yingxue asked Caiyun to tell all the people who followed her today not to reveal any news about everything today, and if she let her wife know any bit of news, she would never be spared. If anyone asks, they say that the girl is in a hurry to come back to accompany her wife.
After arranging everything, Su Yingxue took Yingchun back to Qingyi Courtyard to freshen up, and said to Yingchun: "Caiyun and you are both people I trust and rely on, today's matter must be kept secret, and you must not say a word, especially, that Taoist priest!" “
Yingchun swept away the gloom in her heart, and responded with a smile: "Don't worry, girl, although I talk a lot, I also know what to say and what not to say." “
"Caiyun is cautious and you are brave, you do things well, and you will be of great use in the future!"
Yingchun was so happy that he was about to smile a flower, and he repeatedly said that he was loyal.
After a simple freshening up, I came to Sumu's Begonia Courtyard. Su's mother had already received news that the girl was coming back to accompany her wife to eat, so the maid didn't tell the kitchen to bring the food until she saw Su Yingxue come in.
"Good boy, didn't my mother say that you don't worry, you are running around like this on this hot day, don't get heatstroke!" Su Mu pulled Su Yingxue and said, while ordering someone to take an ice basin and put it outside for Su Yingxue to go outside to cool off.
Mother Su was weak, although it was a hot day, she was still covered with a brocade quilt, and she couldn't use an ice basin at all, Su Yingxue hurriedly stopped it when she heard this.
"No, I don't have to. I was in a carriage, and it was not hot at all because of the sun and a light breeze blowing along the way. Mother, don't worry. On the other hand, he said that he was hungry after climbing the mountain, so he asked him to hurry up and eat, so Su Mu gave up.
After eating, Su Yingxue handed the peace charm to Su's mother, and briefly told Su's mother about the situation of going to the temple, etc., everything that should not be said was covered. Su Mu nodded and listened with a smile.
I have been detaining her for all these years and not daring to let her go out, for fear that she will play around, but when she really let go, she found that her daughter was not so worrying at all. If it hadn't been for that, she wouldn't have needed it.
Su Mu was thinking in her heart, and her arm was shaken by Su Yingxue, "What does Mother think?" So distracted? ”
Su Mu came back to her senses at this time, and didn't say anything but asked Su Yingxue: "What did you say just now?" ”
Su Yingxue said: "My daughter is saying that my father is not here, and my mother is not in good health now, and everyone in our house is uneasy, so I want to ask my mother for permission to take care of the house for a period of time before my mother recovers." First, it is to appease people's hearts, and secondly, her daughter also wants to take the opportunity to learn to do business with Steward Liu, what does her mother think? ”
Mother Su nodded and smiled, they are just such a daughter, everything is hers sooner or later, and it is also appropriate to learn earlier, not to mention that at this time, there is no one in charge of the overall situation in the family, it is really not good. As for business matters, she doesn't know much about herself, and it's good to learn it during this time, and more things still have to wait until the master comes back to teach her.
"It's fine. You are young now and have nothing to do, there are things that Steward Liu helps you outside, and Lan Ruo inside, you can learn from them. It's just that don't get tired. ”
Su Yingxue responded happily, and repeatedly promised that she would never be tired of herself, etc., and Su Mu felt more relieved when she heard it.
"Go and tell the ladies who are in charge of the affairs everywhere that the girl will be in charge of the house from tomorrow onwards, and not run away in this yard. Also, from tomorrow onwards, you should follow the girl first, and teach her well. Su Mu instructed Lan Ruodao.
Lan Ruo was worried about Su Mu's body and was a little embarrassed. Su Mu smiled: "I know you are careful, but Qingping is also quite careful, with her, you should always rest assured, right?" ”
Qingping was cultivated by Lan Ruo, and she was bold and cautious, which is indeed good. Lan Ruo smiled and said that he had gone out to do something.
The soup was served, Su Yingxue waited for Su's mother to eat, and after serving her to rest, she retreated. The smile faded, revealing a face full of worry.
Wonderful!
