But I saw a carriage parked in the corner.

The groom was bending down and lifting the curtains.

On the west side of the mountain, the willows and tired birds near the lake are reflected on the water surface.

The sound of children frolicking in the distance, and the smell of food, are full of fireworks in the world.

The sun was hazy and blurry, and Su Yao turned against the light and saw a man sitting in the carriage inside the curtain that had been lifted.

The man's body is hidden in the darkness.

Only the noble and superior, cold white chin is exposed.

The whole body is noble, with the calm scrutiny of the superiors, implied oppression, and seems out of place with everything around him.

The long knobular fingers are gently raised.

The groom understood, leaned over, lowered his head, and made a gesture of respect.

Su Yao's vision was completely blocked.

However, when she withdrew her gaze, her heart was rippling.

The man sitting in the carriage gave her a thrilling sense of familiarity.

Bai Lu followed behind Su Yao, put away the low stool, and when she sat in the carriage, she saw that Su Yao's expression was a little wrong, and wondered, "What's wrong with Miss?" ”

Su Yao shook her head, "It's okay, I should have read it wrong." ”

Bai Lu did not doubt that he had him, and placed a plate of fresh fruits on the warping table, "Although Miss wanted to have dinner with Miss Ru'an, and politely refused Mrs. Hu, she couldn't go hungry, this was sent by Mrs. Hu, and it has been washed, so Miss will eat some fruit first?" ”

Su Yao nodded, picked up a pear, and took a bite.

She glanced out the window as the carriage moved.

The carriage made of rosewood had been led by the guards of the Hu family and brought into the mansion.

The porter was talking to the man's groom, looking respectful.

It seems that he is a guest of Hu County's order.

Su Yao lowered the curtain, the sweet taste of pears spread between her lips and teeth, she took a sip of tea and didn't think about it anymore.

There are so many similar people in this world.

She originally thought that Wei Jingji would not let her leave easily, even if she left, she couldn't rest assured, so she left the capital overnight.

It rained heavily that day.

The wind howled through the country, as if it were about to engulf everything.

When Su Yao left the city gate, he was still worried about whether he would be arrested.

But nothing happened.

And that's not all.

In the next three years, Wei Jingji never came to look for her.

Chapter 60

The cool breeze of the spring night blows away the noise and residual heat of the day.

When the carriage arrived at Sufu, the lights were already lit inside, and looking at it from a distance, it made people's hearts feel a little warmer.

The guards on both sides opened the door and respectfully welcomed Su Yao in, and in an instant, the entire garden got the news and everything was ready.

"Is Shopkeeper Ann back?"

"Back to the master, Miss An has returned, and is waiting for you to eat in the courtyard at the moment."

A smile appeared on Su Yao's face, "Got it."

On the moon, she walked along the winding path towards the courtyard, and after walking for a while, she heard a strange noise, and she couldn't help but be stunned.

Bai Lu looked at Su Yao and stopped, and asked, "What's wrong, Miss?" ”

Su Yao looked up and looked not far from her yard, "The garden next door has been sold?" ”

"The garden next door?" Bai Lu paused for a second, opened his ears and listened for a while, and sure enough, he heard the sound of carrying wood, mixed with the conversations of some men, and said with novelty: "I heard a few days ago that the owner of the garden wanted to sell the farmland and Zhuangzi. ”

Su Yao retracted her gaze, "Then we have neighbors."

"Exactly!"

Not far away, there was a lazy female voice, mixed with a little drunkenness.

Su Yao looked over, and the smile on his face became more obvious, "Why did you drink it before I came?" ”

Mu Ruan held the wine jug in his hand, his cheeks were crimson obviously, "At the moment of fine wine, I am not a saint, how can I hold back?" ”

She shook it and found that it was empty, so she threw it aside and walked towards Su Yao.

"I hired someone next door to do a day's work, even at night, what a neighbor, I will definitely go and see who it is another day, disturbing people in the middle of the night."

Mu Ru'an inevitably wants to have a drink and dinner with others, because the amount of wine is quite good now, and she can be sober after a few bowls, and even Su Yao is also good at drinking with her from time to time.

When Su Yao heard this, he didn't take it to heart, "If you think it's noisy, I'll let someone talk to the new owner of the garden tomorrow to make them quiet at night." ”

Mu Ruan shook his head, took Su Miao's arm, and said to her: "I'll just go by myself, it just so happens that there is nothing to do, I still want to see what this new neighbor looks like, if he is a good person, he can still visit the door from time to time in the future." ”

Su Yao nodded: "Yes." ”

She quickly forgot about the incident behind her, and pulled Mu Ruan to sit at the dining table, her apricot eyes full of curiosity, "By the way, how did the man you asked Hong'er to bring today meet you?" You said you are old friends, could it be that you met in Beijing? ”

While the two were talking, they had already walked into the pavilion in the courtyard, where food and wine were placed, Mu Ruan sat down, put some meat in Su Yao's bowl, and said with a smile: "This one, Xiao Yingqing is indeed my old acquaintance, not only that, he and I are still friends of life and death." ”

Su Jiao looked puzzled: "Friends of life and death? ”

"When I fled from the capital, and after I arrived in Wuzhou, I worked under the hands of the surnamed Yin, and I wore a curtain fence everywhere I went, but even so, Wei Yuan, the son of Rausch, still wanted my life, do you remember that I once wrote to you that he sent a killer to take my life?"

"Yes."

"Xiao Yingqing saved me at that time, if he hadn't blocked me with a knife, my life would have been really hard to protect." Mu Ruan still has palpitations when she talks about it now, and pats her chest. He said: "Fortunately, my life is big, but ......"

Su Yao heard it in her heart, "But what? Since he is a lifesaver, why haven't you mentioned him before? ”

Mu Ru'an's face became a little strange, as if he had suffered a dumb loss.

"However, when he saved my life, he guessed my identity," she said, "but I didn't know much about his background." ”

Su Miao was stunned when she heard this, "How did he guess your identity?" ”

Mu Ruan took a bite of food and said, "This is also what I can't figure out, but he did guess it, I thought he wanted to take my handle and do something, but he didn't, but instead helped me solve a lot of Wei Yuan's manpower." ”

Su Yao's eyebrows condensed slightly, "Is he from the capital?" ”

"No, he may not even be from Da Zhou." Mu Ru'an said in a flat tone: "I asked him why he saved me, and he only said 'it should', I think, maybe it was my father and mother, the elders in the family, or our Mu Jiajun was kind to him?" ”

"Now he came to me, according to him, because of a change in his family, and because of the quarrel between his brothers over some small property, he was so annoyed that he wanted to live in peace for a while. But don't worry, I've been dealing with him for a few years, and it's a lifelong friendship, and he won't let these things bother us. ”

Mu Ru'an trusted Xiao Yingqing quite a lot between his words.

There are not many people who can win her trust, Su Yao began to use chopsticks, and said seriously: "I see. However, since he is your savior, the word 'bother' should not be used, and if he has any difficulties, I can help him, even if I tell me, now that the two of us depend on each other, helping you is like helping me. ”

With the friendship between the two of them, all the verbal thanks seem insignificant, and the same thing happened to Su Yao, if someone saved Su Yao's life, Mu Ruan would treat him like his own life-saving benefactor.

Therefore, after hearing this, Mu Ruan nodded very happily, and immediately touched Su Yao's arm again, and said with a smile: "I have prepared a surprise for you tomorrow, you remember to come back early." ”

Su Yao looked at her mysterious appearance, and her eyelids jumped uncontrollably.

……

Before leaving the door the next day, Huang Shuzhang came to Su Mansion for a trip.

"Owner, last year you said that you wanted to set up a new academy, and in the past few months, I have asked people to choose to see a few plots of land, and this is a picture drawn by the painter.

Su Yao took a few pieces of drawing paper, looked at them a few times, and said, "There are two places here that I haven't seen yet, so I'll tell you when I go to see the place first." ”

Huang Shu said: "Okay, then I'll wait for the news from the owner." ”

——

In the Hu Mansion, the quiet needle drop can be heard.

The guards on patrol deliberately took a light step, holding plates, and the maids and maids walking on the road all straightened their backs, and even the birds in the trees were quietly napping in response to the occasion.

Hu Zeming has been a parent official for decades, and his palms are still sweating nervously in front of the young man sitting on the main seat.

"This is the account book of the construction of the embankment in the past five years, the first five volumes are the silver sent by the imperial court, and the last seven volumes are the self-raised money and grain expenditures, all of which are registered in detail, and the junior officials have checked them first......

As he spoke, he handed the account book in his hand to the man standing beside the young man and nodded.

"Lord Liang."

Liang Yuan took the account book, but first flipped through it himself, "Has anyone checked it in the past five years?" ”

Hu Zeming had already prepared and reported a few names in one go.

Liang Yuan listened, and then presented the thing to the young man.

The young man was dressed in a low-key dark brocade robe, his face was like a bright peak reflecting snow, cold and handsome, and his eyelids were slightly lowered because he turned over the account book to cover the emotions in his eyes, giving people a sense of condescension and dignity.

The bookmark hanging behind him and the teacup in his hand seemed to have become priceless in an instant, and in a trance, this small and small house also became a royal forbidden garden.

There was a churning sound in the room.

Every time I turned a page, it was like a punch in Hu Zeming's heart.

He thinks that he has a lot of knowledge, and he has seen many nobles and nobles, but when facing the young man in front of him, he will have the uneasiness of ascending to the imperial examination and facing the grace of heaven.

The study room was extraordinarily quiet, and the slightest movement outside was diffused several times.

Su Baoju was personally serving tea and snacks and walking towards the study, but a maid stopped her.

"Madam, the master of Ju'an Academy is here."

There is only a small pond between the study of the Hu County Ling family and the backyard, and if you want to go to the place where the ladies in the backyard live, this road is the only way to go, so they were so cautious yesterday.

Because His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was in the house, Su Baoju ordered her to go down in advance, and anyone who came needed to tell her.

After listening to the maid's words, Su Baoju had already stepped into the study with half a foot, but she couldn't retreat again, so she had to pretend that she hadn't heard it.
