Chapter 442: Departure to Pingyang Town
"Mrs. Chu, do you have something to find the young master?" Zhou Bo was still worried, "But the wind and snow outside are so big...... Mrs. Chu, are you in a hurry? If you're not in a hurry, why don't you wait until after the New Year? ”
"No, this matter is a bit urgent, I have to go over now." Su Liuye said.
Seeing this, Zhou Bo didn't say anything more, and asked Xiao Wu to move the things to the carriage.
Uncle Zhou didn't persuade Su Liuye anymore, but just put some warm clothes on the carriage to prevent Su Liuye from feeling cold on the road.
There were still many things waiting for Uncle Zhou to deal with in the house, so Uncle Zhou asked Xiao Wu to follow Su Liuye over.
Because he was worried that there would be a bigger wind and snow in a few days, Su Liuye had to set off now and come back quickly.
She wanted to go over and inform Qin Lian, but when she went to her room, she found that the window and door were closed, and Qin Lian didn't seem to have woken up yet.
"Mrs. Chu, don't go in!"
As soon as Su Liuye wanted to push the door and go in to check, the cook hurriedly came over, "Miss Qin didn't know why last night, she couldn't sleep all night, and she didn't fall asleep until almost the early hours of the morning." ”
The cook's room was next door to Qin Lian, so naturally she could hear the sound in her room.
"Lian Lian didn't go to sleep until early in the morning?"
Su Liuye was surprised, thinking that it was probably because of the things in the temple, but she didn't expect Qin Lian to be so frightened that she couldn't sleep at night.
"Auntie, I have something to go out, when Lianlian wakes up, remember to tell her. By the way, if you have time, take Lianlian to see the doctor and prescribe some calming medicine for her. ”
"A tranquilizer? Was Miss Qin scared? The cook was surprised, she didn't know what was going on in the temple, and she thought that Qin Lian simply couldn't sleep.
Hearing Su Liuye say this, she also nodded hurriedly, promising to take her to see the doctor when Qin Lian woke up.
Su Liuye was relieved, returned to the room to pack some things, and hurriedly got into the carriage to find Chu Yan.
She has been in the capital for so long, and she has never seen Chu Yan, and the last time she had news of him before, Qin Lian said that she saw him going in and out with a woman on the street. It's a pity that when she went to inquire, Chu Yan and the woman were gone.
Although Pingyang Town is said to be nearby, it used to spend a lot of time.
The carriage soon went out of the city gates, and in a few moments it began to snow outside. Su Liuye lifted the curtain, and the bare tree branches in the distance were covered with a thick layer of snow, and a gust of wind blew, and the frost and snow drifted to the ground.
Su Liuye rubbed her hands, only to feel a chill, but fortunately there was a small charcoal stove in the carriage. Put down the heavy curtain to block the cold wind outside, and you can keep warm by the small stove.
Stretching out his hand to the stove to warm up, Su Liuye looked at Xiao Wu sitting next to him and asked, "Xiao Wu, do you know what my husband and Master Xiao are busy with in Pingyang Town?" ”
She still thought that Chu Yan was in the capital, if he left the capital, she could understand that he would not come back.
Xiao Wu sorted out the bags in the carriage, looked over when he heard her words, shook his head, and said, "Mrs. Chu, I don't know about Gongzi and Mr. Chu, but I just heard Uncle Zhou say that what Gongzi and Mr. Chu are busy with can't let others know, so they haven't told me." ”
"That's ......"
Su Liuye frowned, her heart seemed to be pressing a heavy boulder, she always felt that Chu Yan and Xiao Yun were hiding something from her.
Seeing that Xiao Wu didn't know, she didn't ask any more, leaning on the carriage and thinking about the five princesses. She knew that Xiao Yun seemed to have connections in the capital, and he was also an official of the imperial court, so if she told him about the five princesses, she might be able to find a solution.
Now she seems to have only one way to do it......
Liu Yuan and Chu San could indeed help her, but now neither of them is there. Moreover, Liu Yuan helped her just for Qin Lian, and she could see that Qin Lian didn't want to have too much to do with Liu Yuan.
Chu San also has an inexplicable enthusiasm for her, Su Liuye has long been aware of this, but Chu San has not done anything at present, so Su Liuye doesn't want to say more, but it is not realistic for her to ask Chu San for help in everything.
Su Liuye narrowed her eyes, it was Chu San who took her to the first floor to find the county lord of Anyang, and he even went to the county lord of Anyang when he was a child......
This person's identity is certainly not simple.
"Mrs. Chu, do you want to drink water?"
Xiao Wu's voice interrupted her thoughts.
Su Liuye came back to his senses before Xiao Wu handed over a teacup with hot water, which had just been heated on the stove.
"Okay." Su Liuye took the teacup and took a sip, the warm tea was just right to dispel the cold.
The carriage walked slowly and leisurely all the way, and the coachman had to go down from time to time to clear the snow on the road, and although Su Liuye and Xiao Wu had gone down to help, they could only reach the nearby village after dark.
This village is the only small village on the road leading from the capital to Pingyang Town, and if they don't have time to enter the village before nightfall, they will have to stay overnight on the road.
The weather is so cold now that they can't stay outside at all, and they may freeze to death if they play, so they have to go into the village.
There is a simple homestay in the village, Su Liuye went to the room to rest after eating with Xiao Wu, and continued to go out after waking up, and arrived in Pingyang Town at noon.
The coachman dropped them off at the inn and packed their bags to their rooms before leaving.
After a simple rest, Su Liuye poured another cup of tea and asked Xiao Wu, "Xiao Wu, can I go to Lord Xiao and them now?" ”
"Madame, don't worry, son, they should still be busy, I'll go over and report first."
Xiao Wu said, put on his clothes and was about to go out.
Su Liuye wanted to follow, but Xiao Wu said that it was inconvenient, so Su Liuye had to wait in the room to sort out the bags he brought over.
When it was time for lunch, Xiao Wu didn't go back, she went down to eat first, and then simply went to the town while there was still some time.
Pingyang Town is not as good as the capital, but it is also a lively and rich town. Because the Chinese New Year is approaching, the streets are full of people, and the streets on both sides are hung with red lanterns, which looks full of New Year's flavor.
"This little lady, come and take a look, our pastries here are all just made today, and they are still hot!"
The hawking of the stall next to her attracted Su Liuye's attention, and she looked over and saw that there were many hot pastries on the stall, which looked very delicious and tempting, and some of them were something she had never seen before.
"Oh, I'm afraid it's going to be a bad time this year."
She was about to ask the stall owner to wrap her some fresh pastries, when suddenly there was a sigh next to her, and the two aunts were talking beside her.
"Why? Is your big cow going out again? ”
"Yes, you said that this is all ready for the New Year, why do people still want to build so many iron tools?"
