487 Chapter 10 Opportunity?

Because Shen Yongkun was going to marry Huo Qingling, the youngest lady of the Huo family, in the spring of the year, under the persuasion of Mrs. Su, Shen Yongkun stayed for the time being after being scolded. But Shen Shuming and Shen Zangji were ordered to pack their bags immediately and leave within three days!

Liu, who knew the real intention of her in-laws in sending them to Xiliang, prepared things for her son with complicated feelings, but it didn't take long for her to think of a very important issue: the strength of the escort.

Due to the turmoil of the times, the Shen family didn't care about their grandson Shen Shuxie, who was only half a year old, so they urged Wei Changying to take him back to the imperial capital, and used the reason that it was unsafe along the way to make tens of thousands of elite Xiliang troops enter the Central Plains. After a difficult battle between Shen Xuan and Shen Zhou in the court, they were arranged to camp two days away from the imperial capital, and at the same time, the court sent several supervisors to restrict any soldiers from leaving the camp.

But these tens of thousands of Xiliang troops are useful to the Shen family, and it is impossible to allocate too much to send Shen Shuming and Shen Zangji to Xiliang, otherwise it would not be meaningful to urge Wei Changying's mother and son to return to Beijing in advance.

And the reason why the Shen family insisted on escorting their daughter-in-law and grandson back to Beijing with tens of thousands of troops was actually not all nonsense, if there was no decent escort of soldiers and horses on the way to Xiliang, even if the Shen family of Xiliang had blood and bones, maybe they would be dragged off the horse by those hungry and crazy people, what should they do - no matter how powerful the Shen family is, can they still kill all the people in the world?

Could it be that as soon as his son leaves the imperial capital, he will be unsafe?

Liu was preoccupied.

Fortunately, she didn't worry about it for long this time, and someone solved this trouble for her - Su Yuyin.

Shen Xuan was angry with his son and grandson, and made them have to leave Beijing within three days, but he didn't mention his daughter-in-law. But Shen Zangji didn't know when he would be allowed to come back when he went to Xiliang this time, the two newlyweds Yan'er was reluctant to separate, and Su Yuyin was afraid that the separation would be long, even if he was a good cousin since childhood, he might be a cheap girl quietly.

It was Su Yuyin who took the initiative to find her aunt and current mother-in-law, and offered to accompany her husband to Xiliang.

Of course, her reason is that as a wife, she should share the weal and woe with her husband.

At first, Mrs. Su didn't want to agree, because she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to stand the bitter cold of Xiliang.

Su Yuyin moved out the third sister-in-law, Wei Changying, and the nieces who were still in Xiliang as examples, and when Mrs. Su saw this, she persuaded her to be right - originally she and Shen Xuan wanted to let the five-room couple go to Xiliang.

Because Su Yuyin accompanied her husband to the border - her mother, Zhang, was also worried about her daughter and son-in-law, so the next day after receiving the news, she personally rushed to the Taifu Mansion to inquire about the affairs of Su Yuyin and his wife going to Xiliang.

When he heard that the Shen family only planned to send a thousand soldiers and horses—and only three hundred cavalry escorts—the Zhang family was not at ease: "I am a woman and don't know the military formation, but I also know that these two children and Ming'er go out together, and the servants who serve alone will have to be hundreds, right?" Not to mention that there are many things in Xiliang, they all have to be brought from the imperial capital, and there is a lot of baggage, and there are many coachmen needed. Three hundred horsemen, seven hundred foot soldiers, is this worthy of it? ”

Mrs. Su smiled a little reluctantly: "This time, Zangji and Ming'er were both punished, so according to what the husband meant, except for one or two small servants, no one is allowed to serve, and it is better to go to Xiliang quickly." Second brother and sister, you see that it is autumn now, and it is already snowing in Xiliang, so if you don't hurry up, I'm afraid that you will be trapped by the wind and snow on the road! ”

Zhang frowned and said, "Big sister, do you have to go with Yuyin?" ”

"That's why I said don't go to Yuyin, it's so cold and so far away, it's better to stay under our knees and rest assured." When Mrs. Su said this, she naturally retreated into advance. Zhang's is distressed about his daughter, but he is not so short-sighted that he really thinks that in this kind of situation where his son-in-law travels far away and returns uncertainly, it is good for his daughter to stay with him and enjoy happiness.

Sure enough, as soon as she heard this, she said, "Big sister, where are these words?" This husband and wife are one, and the hidden machine is going to the border, even if Yuyin is left in the imperial capital, his mind is not here. Besides, she is young, and it will be good for her to suffer a little in the future. ”

Afraid that Mrs. Su would really force Su Yuyin to stay, Zhang followed again, "I'll tell you the truth, big sister, don't worry: you also know that Yuyin was spoiled by me when she was young, and she was forced to learn the rules for a while before leaving the cabinet to get to where she is now." Compared to her sisters-in-law on both sides, she was far behind. This time she went to Xiliang with the hidden machine, and she could see and sharpen with the past, which would also be very beneficial to her. Even if she doesn't mention it herself, I'm going to ask my big sister for this opportunity for her. ”

Mrs. Su said: "Since you said so, second brother and sister, Yuyin must also accompany the Tibetan machine, and I naturally won't stop it." It's just that I don't hide it from my second brother and sister, and now there are only so many people in the Xiliang Army, and there are really no more. Zangji and Ming'er are my relatives, and Yuyin is also my niece, how can I not feel sorry for them? But manpower is limited! And if you don't bring too many subordinates and things, this amount of troops is actually enough to protect yourself along the way. ”

It's just enough to protect yourself, so how can you do it? You must be able to be at ease all the way to the past without any crisis in order to be called a mother's peace of mind! The Zhang family entangled again, and saw that Mrs. Su really couldn't move, so he had to go.

But she was unwilling to return to Su Mansion, and took advantage of dinner to go to the upper room to tell Mrs. Deng - Zhang's meaning was to let Mrs. Deng, who had always been soft-hearted and pampered with her juniors, ask Su Pingzhan to escort Su Yuyin and his wife. As a result, Mrs. Deng did ask Su Pingzhan for a group of healthy servants and an elite of the private guard "Dai Feng" to help, but the news spread to the ears of the eldest lady Qian, and Qian was greatly inspired - she was busy sending someone to call the only remaining parent-child Su Yuliang to her: "Liang'er, you go and ask Pei to pack your bags with you and prepare to go back to Qingzhou." ”

Su Yuliang has been a little embarrassed since his grandfather clearly revealed that he chose his cousin Su Yuwu, and at this moment he heard that he was going back to Qingzhou by himself, and he didn't bother to ask why, so he wanted to retire after answering.

Qian hurriedly stopped him: "This is Wei Niang's idea." You heard Wei's mother say, now your grandfather blindly eccentric three rooms, if in this imperial capital, there is your grandfather, we are helpless. But after returning to Qingzhou, it is different, you are the son of the long house, and your name is more orthodox than Su Yuwu! After you go back, you will be able to win over the people and lay the foundation, and you may not have no opportunities in the future! ”

Su Yuliang sighed and said: "Mother, although Qingzhou is far away, it is all in the hands of grandfather, grandfather can support the fifth brother in the imperial capital, is it possible that the child goes to Qingzhou, and grandfather can't have a child?" ”

"Although you are an upright corporal, respecting the elderly and helping the weak, it is difficult for your grandfather to stop you from cultivating yourself? You're also his kinsman! Qian sneered and said, "What's more, your grandfather is old!" He can still be eccentric Su Yuwu for the rest of his life! ”

He said in a low voice, "The Shen family used the excuse that their daughter-in-law and grandson wanted to go back to Beijing to reunite, and they sent tens of thousands of Xiliang troops to Gyeonggi. But our Su family's Qingzhou Army has not yet found a reason to go north, and now this world is in such a mess, who knows what will happen in the future? If you go back to Qingzhou now, if you can entrap the generals in the Qingzhou army...... At that time, your grandfather will not be able to do anything to you! ”

Su Yuliang felt that this idea was unreliable: "Grandfather is very shrewd, and now the fifth brother has accompanied the fifth brother and sister to Jiangnan to mourn, and he has not yet returned." The child is going back to Qingzhou now, how can the grandfather not be guarded? It is not permissible for children to go. ”

Qian shouted: "You are really stupid! How did the Shen family get the Xiliang Army to Gyeonggi? Your grandfather didn't say it, how could he not be thinking about how to get the Qingzhou Army over now? Let's just say that you think about your family wholeheartedly, and plan to learn the Shen family's method in person, go back to Qingzhou first, and then let Qingzhou send an army to send you to the imperial capital, isn't it done? ”

Su Yuliang groaned, "Then what if grandfather really did this? As soon as the child returned to Qingzhou, he ordered Qingzhou to allocate a large army to escort the child back to the imperial capital, so what is the point of going back like this? ”

"Don't worry, the Shen family has already played this hand first, and for the station of the Xiliang Army, your uncle has rolled up his sleeves with Zhu Gong a few times." The Qian family said contemptuously, "Now that the Su family is also here, how can the princes agree?" Otherwise, your uncle, this time he sent his children and grandchildren to Xiliang to sharpen, how could he openly and secretly say that he would not let them come back in a short time? It's not that the princes are afraid that he will send a large army to escort his son and grandson back to the imperial capital, and pull tens of thousands of Xiliang troops over, at that time, won't this imperial capital be surnamed Shen? ”

Su Yuliang couldn't help but be speechless, and said, "In that case, how could my grandfather agree?" ”

"You first said that you wanted to learn the Shen family's method, but your grandfather refused, and then I went to talk to your grandmother for my mother." Qian sneered and said, "Your grandmother is soft-hearted, and today she has a second room to tell for a daughter who has married out of the door, and your grandmother has asked your grandfather for someone." Not to mention that you are your grandmother's own grandson? As a mother, she said that you were actually depressed in the imperial capital, but you were looking for a reason to go back to Qingzhou to relax. Your grandmother will love you and will intercede with your grandfather. ”

Su Yuliang said disheartenedly: "Mother went to talk about it first and then watched, but the child thought that grandfather might not allow it." "Su Pingzhan is not a person who listens to his wife for everything, and who doesn't know that Mrs. Deng is soft-hearted, so it's best to speak. There have been many people and things that Mrs. Deng asked Su Pingzhan for over the years, and Su Pingzhan knows what to promise and what not to promise.

This grandfather has clearly revealed the intention of cultivating his cousin Su Yuwu, where will he give himself any chance?

It's just that to Su Yuliang's surprise, he was ordered by the Qian family to go to the study first and told his grandfather that he wanted to go back to Qingzhou, Su Pingzhan thought about it a little, and actually promised, and said that the end of the year is approaching, since he wants to go back, it is good to leave as soon as possible.

Su Yuliang was greatly surprised, if it weren't for Su Pingzhan repeatedly telling him to return to Qingzhou, he should not relax his studies, be sure to insist on studying, and not be distracted by trivial matters in the clan...... The potential meaning of this is, of course, to let Su Yuliang return to Qingzhou and return to Qingzhou, but don't think about it if you want to encircle the people and try to continue fighting with Su Yuwu or something...... Otherwise, Su Yuliang almost thought that his grandfather had not yet decided on the choice of heir......

The Su family didn't mention it, and came back to say that the Shen family was here. Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and when it was time for Shen Zangji and Shen Shuming to set off, the Shen family got up early in the morning, and everyone except Shen Xuan and his wife rushed to see them off.

Although the Zhang family specially got a group of guards for his daughter from the Su family to increase the safety of the trip, Su Yuyin thought about it again and again and still did not follow the Zhang family's plan for his daughter, bringing hundreds of slaves and maids, and bringing everything that he wanted to enjoy in the emperor but Xiliang did not have, but chose to travel lightly and simply. In addition to the personal maid and nursing mother, she only brought a few rough maids, and even packed the most basic needs - this was a decision she made after consulting Wei Changying, who had lived in Xiliang for several years.

Wei Changying's pampering since she was a child will only be on Su Yuyin, and even she can casually pack some things and go to Xiliang to live for a few years, Su Yuyin feels that she is even more fine. However, in this kind of chaos in the world, relying on the escort of the army to bring a large number of luxurious things, it is easy to attract thieves, and it is not good for the reputation of the Shen family - Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

There are many people in the world who are clothed and fed, and there is no need to be infamous for being extravagant and inconsiderate of the people's livelihood because of a time when he took office with his husband, everything is still low-key.
