Looking up and seeing that it was Su Jinyu, Su Zhaoning couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Big brother, I was squeezed here by the crowd." Su Zhaoning explained to Su Jinyu. I don't know if he saw anything about Fang Cai.

Su Jinyu happened to see the scene of Chen Tianyang flying up the city tower with Su Zhaoning in his arms.

Second sister, this is being pushed, right?

He didn't even realize it himself, and in the face of this second sister, he subconsciously avoided bad speculations.

Although Su Jinyu didn't have the suspicion that Su Zhaoning was worried about. But he has always been a person who does not show emotions on his face, so that serious expression made Su Zhaoning a little misunderstood.

She was about to speak, but she felt another surge of people, and she and Su Jinyu were forced to take a few steps forward.

"Big brother, or I'll hold your ......" Su Zhaoning knew that Su Jinyu paid attention to etiquette, but in this situation, if she didn't even grab a piece of the corner of his clothes, the two would be separated sooner or later.

"Okay, I'll hold you." Su Jinyu didn't wait for her to finish speaking, she nodded and agreed. After finishing speaking, he took the initiative to pull Su Zhaoning's hand up.

The girl's unique soft palm reminded Su Jinyu of the scene when she took her eldest sister to the street when she was a child.

The soft and glutinous little girl's voice, when she cries, she only knows how to call her brother, and she hasn't seen her for a long time. Su Jinyu felt a trace of amazement in her heart.

But when he turned around and saw that the second sister was cautious, for fear of losing his appearance, the trace of sorrow disappeared again.

Chen Tianyang had already returned to the soldiers, and as he advanced, the closer he got to the city gate, the less crowded the crowd became.

Su Jinyu finally pulled Su Zhaoning out of this group of enthusiastic people.

"It's rare." Rao is Su Jinyu, who has always been emotionally introverted, couldn't help but sigh today.

When Su Zhaoning heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but raise a smile, and explained to him: "The eldest brother used to serve outside, and he didn't see much because of his talents. In fact, in recent years, as long as General Chen Xiao returns from the expedition, this is basically the case. ”

Of course, Su Jinyu knows more about the affairs of the court. After a little thought, he figured out why. He summed it up succinctly: "General Chen's winning rate makes him deserve this. ”

Su Zhaoning recalled Chen Tianyang's appearance, and felt in his heart that General Chen's beauty-like appearance was actually one of the reasons.

What Su Zhaoning didn't say, of course Su Jinyu couldn't hear it. It's just that he soon realizes that it's very inappropriate for him to talk about other men in front of his sister.

At least in the eyes of the rigid Su Jinyu.

"Let's go home." He quickly wrapped up the topic about Chen Tianyang.

Su Zhaoning actually agreed with this decision in his heart. This popular figure, they still don't talk about it better.

And at this time, Su Zhaoning was more concerned about the question of how to return to the Marquis of Chang'an.

was crowded by this and walked in the opposite direction, and it was very difficult to get away from the main gate of the Chang'an Hou Mansion. Moreover, the eight-treasure duck I bought for my aunt is gone.

The only thing to be thankful for is that she and Su Jinyu met again. In that case, it doesn't matter which door you should go through, right?

Walking to the back door of the Marquis of Chang'an, the two mothers-in-law guarding the door were dozing off.

Su Jinyu walked straight past the two of them, and the two people who were napping opened their eyes in a daze and looked at the comer.

"Big young master!" The mother-in-law immediately came to their senses.

Su Jinyu glanced at the two mothers-in-law and didn't say anything.

The mothers-in-law looked at Su Zhaoning behind Su Jinyu again.

"Second Miss is back."

Su Zhaoning nodded, followed Su Jinyu and walked inside.

The two parted ways in the zigzag corridor.

Su Jinyu said: "Wait a minute, I will ask someone to send the sacrificial text to be copied to the second sister." ”

Su Zhaoning answered yes, and walked to the second courtyard with the inkstone in his arms.

Compared with Lan Zhuxuan, from the back door of the Hou Mansion in Chang'an, the two-room courtyard is much farther, not only passing through the courtyard of the long house, but also passing through the courtyard of the old lady Hou.

As soon as she arrived at the courtyard of Mrs. Hou, a little maid saluted her and said, "Second Miss is back." ”

I don't know if it's an illusion, the maid's voice is extraordinarily high.

Su Zhaoning's gaze swept over the other party and continued to walk forward. When he walked to the octagonal pavilion that was almost close to the courtyard of the long house, Su Zhaoning couldn't help but recall the words of the little Taoist priest of "Crow's Mouth".

"There is no door, Miss Su Er will wait for the next person to go back to the house, remember not to enter through the back door!"

She didn't go home alone, but she still went through the back door.

The difference between the front gate and the back door is that the main gate goes back to the Chang'an Hou Mansion faster, and she only needs to pass through the ancestral hall to return to the courtyard of the second room. And the back door takes longer and passes through more yards.

Su Zhaoning turned around and walked in the direction of the ancestral hall.

It's spring season, and although there is still a cool breeze blowing on both sides of the cloister, the flowers and plants in the garden are already showing their colors.

The flowers in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an are very complex, except for the courtyard of Mrs. Hou is a pond of lotus flowers, there are some kinds of flowers in other places.

Nowadays, the most colorful is the peach blossom, a tree by tree, the peach blossoms in the pink are in full bloom, and they are uniquely beautiful.

Among the tight clusters of peach blossoms along the way, Su Zhaoning noticed that there were a few oleanders that had just pulled out new sprouts. None of them have yet to bloom, and if they were in full bloom, the petals would be larger and more colorful, but they would have to be viewed more carefully.

After all, it's a toxic beauty.

The ancestral hall soon arrived, and Su Zhaoning pushed the door and walked in. She walked over to the desk and pulled out three sticks of incense, wanting to light them and plug them in.

But when he turned around and walked to the tablet, Su Zhaoning saw that the gilded incense burner had already risen with light smoke.

The incense burned less than the length of a fingernail, and it seems to have just been lit.

Su Zhaoning subconsciously looked at the side room in the ancestral hall.

I only heard a sound coming from inside the side room.

Su Zhaoning walked over and gently pushed the door of the side room open. A familiar figure turned his back to him.

"Big brother?" Su Zhaoning said in surprise.

Su Jinyu hugged a wad of paper money and turned around.

He was also a little surprised that Su Zhaoning would come here.

Su Jinyu asked, "Why did the second sister come over?" ”

Su Zhaoning glanced back at the tablet in the center of the ancestral hall and replied, "I want to come and put incense on my mother." ”

Su Jinyu suddenly understood. In this understanding, he took the initiative to add three points of pity.

Holding the paper money in her arms to the spacious ancestral hall and putting it down, Su Jinyu said: "The second sister can write a burden with me, and the eldest aunt will feel your filial piety." ”

Su Zhaoning responded in a low voice. When it comes to her mother, she is always a little depressed.

When her mother was alive, her father was not so ridiculous. At least he won't be angry with her and her sister Su Yingying. But since correcting Xiao Huang's family, she and Su Yingying have both been punished by their father's anger.

But the mother doesn't need to know about this. As long as the mother knows, she will definitely do her best to protect her sister.

After Su Zhaoning sharpened the ink, he wrote side by side with Su Jinyu.

Among them, a number of envelopes were enshrined in the period of worshipping and sweeping: Therefore......

When Su Jinyu first wrote, she would also come sideways to see if Su Zhaoning's writing was correct.

After seeing that four or five Su Zhaoning were correct, he also wrote wholeheartedly.

The two of them wrote about forty or fifty burdens, and then they stopped writing and rested.

Su Jinyu asked Su Zhaoning: "Second sister go back to rest first, right?" ”

"I'm not tired, isn't my big brother tired?" Su Zhaoning believed in the words of the little Taoist priest a little, so he really didn't look forward to today's rest.

"I'm fine." Su Jinyu picked up the pen again and was about to continue writing, but heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

As soon as he opened the door of the ancestral hall, it was his personal servant.

"The eldest young master, the second young master suddenly vomited blood, the old ancestor was so panicked, Madame, please go over and comfort the old ancestor." The little guy hurriedly said.

"How could the second brother suddenly vomit blood?" Su Zhaoning also stepped forward and said with concern.

When the little guy saw Su Zhaoning, his face was full of surprise, and he said, "The second lady is here, and the ancestors are looking for you all over the world." ”

"Looking for me?" Su Zhaoning was a little confused.

Su Jinyu said on the side: "Let's go over together." ”

The two hurriedly walked from the ancestral hall to the courtyard of Mrs. Hou.

When I arrived at the gate of the outer courtyard, I heard the scolding of Mrs. Hou inside.

"Say! Who else! Who else has been in? Who moved the second young master's medicine? ”

Su Zhaoning and Su Jinyu walked into the inner courtyard, only to see Mrs. Hou sitting upright on the throne, her face full of anger.

In the center of the hall, two little maids were kneeling side by side.

The little maid on the left kept prostrate on the ground, and she cried in a low voice: "Even if the slave maid has great courage, she will never dare to touch the medicine of the second young master." The slave has been guarding the second young master's medicine inch by inch. ”

The little maid on the right saw Su Zhaoning come in, glanced at her timidly, and replied in a low voice: "The slave maid has never seen anyone else except what she said before." ”

Feeling the other party's gaze, Su Zhaoning looked back.

The little maid kneeling on the right was the one who saluted Mrs. Hou at the gate of the outer courtyard before.

Could it be......

"What you said to me before, now I will say it again in front of the second young lady." Old Madam Hou said coldly.

Su Zhaoning felt a sense of foreboding in his heart.

Sure enough, the little maid said, "Slave, slave maid only saw the second lady come to the old lady's yard an hour ago. The others, the slaves and maids, really didn't see them. ”

"An hour ago?" The little maid who was prostrate on the ground raised her head and glanced at Su Zhaoning in a daze.

She suddenly came back to her senses, kowtowed heavily on the ground, and said to the old lady Hou: "Old ancestor Mingjian, the slave maid remembered, the slave maid happened to be called by the third lady an hour ago to ask the second young master for the prescription. It was about the time of a stick of incense before the slave returned. ”

Old Madam Hou looked at Su Zhaoning with a face like frost.

"Ahem, ahem." A cough came from the side. I saw Su Jinxuan walking in with the help of the maid.

"Jinxuan, you have a good rest, what are you going to do when you get up." Old Madam Hou hurriedly looked at her little grandson.

Su Jinxuan coughed a few more times, waved his hand and replied, "Grandmother, my grandson is fine." The grandson is just a little wind chill, and if he hadn't been added to the medicine today, he wouldn't have vomited blood suddenly. ”
