Chapter 11: Turmoil on the Way
Near noon, the Su family set off.
Skirting the misty forest, there is a restaurant. It is a three-story wooden house with a thatched roof. A large flag with the word "wine" written on it hung on the second floor, waving in the wind.
The carriage stopped in front of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper was stirring the abacus on the counter for a while, thinking carefully, hearing the sound of the carriage, looking outside, quickly closing the account book, and running out.
The old shopkeeper smiled, and his whole face was full of folds when he smiled, and he looked at the old shopkeeper with disgust, and then opened his mouth and ordered: "Shopkeeper, take out all your good wine and food, and add some ingredients to our horses, oh, and, prepare some water, we will take it away." ”
The shopkeeper nodded hurriedly: "Yes, yes, the little guy will do it, and ask a few guest officers to rest inside." He shouted inside, "it, come out quickly, there's a guest coming." ”
Su Weicheng got out of the carriage and glanced at Bele unhappily: "Don't be rude, don't be rude to the old man." ”
Bele buried his head: "Yes, eldest young master." ”
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
The group sat at the table with lunch, and no one spoke, each with their own thoughts.
At this time, the old lady spoke: "Everyone eat quickly, after eating, we can hurry, and strive to reach Hucheng early today." ”
The eldest lady Liang Shaofang nodded: "What my mother-in-law said is true." Then he turned his gaze to a few people, "Hurry up and eat." ”
Several people nodded, and Su Weicheng replied, "Yes, mother." ”

"Old man Liu, old man Liu!" several sturdy men walked in. The horizontal flesh on his face, fat and strong, and the flesh on his cheeks trembled as he spoke.
The old shopkeeper ran out of the room in a panic and ran to stand beside the men.
"Guest officers, what do you want to eat?" there was panic in his voice.
Hearing this, the man at the head stood up angrily, grabbed the collar of the old shopkeeper, and shouted: "Old man Liu, don't pretend to be confused for Lao Tzu, where is your fragrant ear?"
The old shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "A few masters, my family's fragrant ears have long been promised to be married, and you have a lot of them, so let go of the fragrant ears!"
The man's clenched hand suddenly let go, and the old shopkeeper fell to the ground coldly: "Hmph! You old immortal, I advise you to be interesting and hand over the girl, if you don't hand it over, a brother will burn down your tea shed today, see if you hand it over!!"
An old lady came out of the back room and helped the old shopkeeper up: "Old man, old man!"
The old shopkeeper slowly woke up and turned around: "Old woman." ”
The man shouted angrily: "Old immortal, get up quickly....... Ouch! Who doesn't have long eyes, dare to plot against Lao Tzu, give Lao Tzu out!!"
The young man in white did not look back, and said indifferently: "Get out!"
The man didn't laugh angrily: "Yo! where did the little white face come from? dare to meddle with Lao Tzu's affairs!" he said and rolled up his sleeves and walked towards Su Weiyu.
"Bang!", and the man stuck the big knife in his hand on the wooden table next door.
Su Weiyu heard such humiliating words, but he was not annoyed, sneered, and threw the remaining chopsticks in his hand towards the big knife on the table with his backhand. The frightened ones who followed jumped up all of a sudden, and the people at the head were really angry when they saw this, pulled out their knives from the people around them, and glared at Su Weiyu viciously:
"His grandmother's, I don't believe it today, go on!" As soon as he spoke, the people next to him rushed up.
I saw a white figure come out of front of the table, bypass a few thugs, and sit back in the seat just now.
"Bang, bang!!" Several people all fell, and only the person who led the group stood there, dumbfounded. I have always felt that my martial arts are good, and I play tricks all day long, but I don't want to meet a real master today.
Su Weiyu shook his fan and smiled slightly: "What?
The man's voice trembled: "You, you.... You wait for me, wait...."Before he finished speaking, the man had already run outside.
Su Weiyu's feet swept to the ground, and the broken knife on the ground went straight to the man's vest, and the man fell to the ground in response, and there was no movement after a few sounds.
Su Weiyu turned to the few people in front of the table: "Mother, grandma, didn't surprise you, right?"
The old lady shook her head: "No, hurry up and eat!"
Su Weiyu nodded: "En." Then he called to the men outside, "Throw them out and clean up the place." ”
A few people walked in from the outside, and they lifted the people on the ground and threw them into the bushes beside them.
The old shopkeeper and the old woman walked over, with tears in their eyes, and were about to kneel down towards Su Weiyu: "Thank you for the rescue, the little old man will kowtow to you!"
Su Weiyu stood up and helped the two old men up: "Grandpa, grandma, hurry up, you don't have to be so polite." ”
The old shopkeeper stood up along Su Weiyu's support: "Benefactor is very good!"
Su Weicheng asked, "Grandpa, what is going on, why do those people come to find trouble?"
The old shopkeeper wiped his tears, sighed and said: "Hey, that's the case, three months ago, I went to Hucheng with my wife and my daughter to visit relatives, and met the young master of the Tan family in Hucheng on the way. What kind of sin have I done!" said the old shopkeeper, tears falling again.
When Su Weicheng heard this, his brows furrowed, Young Master of the Tan family, Master Tan has always wanted to cooperate with the Su family, and this time it seems that he has to find an opportunity to punish him properly.

In the evening, Lake City.
In front of the Sufu Annex.
A group of subordinates were unloading the things on the carriage, and the steward of the other courtyard stood in front of the master's car diligently:
"Old lady, madam, dinner is ready, the courtyard is cleaned, and the masters can rest early after eating. ”
The coachman lifted the curtain, and Mrs. Su stepped out of the carriage with Su Weicheng's support, looked at the cleaned courtyard, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Steward Ma, your ability is really getting better and better, and you can manage this courtyard properly, not bad. ”
Steward Ma buried his head lower: "Thank you for the old lady's compliment, this is what the old slave should do." Old lady, please inside. ”
Old Madam Su nodded and walked in with a mighty person.
At the dinner table, the maids prepared dishes for the master.
Mrs. Su Liang Shaofang looked at Mu Jin and then at Su Weiyu.
"Wei Yu, after you finish eating, you can take Miss Mu to rest, Miss Mu will live in the yard next door to you, you are more familiar, so you can take care of it." ”
Su Weiyu smiled and nodded: "Yes, mother." ”
When Mrs. Su heard this, she was a little unhappy, and her face was cold: "Men and women don't kiss, Wei Yu, according to grandma, Miss Mu still lives next door to me and your mother, so it's good." "This daughter-in-law is really, where is Mu Jin, a civilian girl, comparable to the county lord of Ziling, if the two of them are really good, then how to explain to the county lord? How does the Su family climb to the imperial family, how to seek further development? It seems that we have to find an opportunity to talk to Shao Fang.
Receiving her mother-in-law's eyes, Liang Shaofang immediately understood, nodded and said, "Yes, yes, what my mother-in-law said is that Weiyu, you will take Miss Mu to the North Garden next door to me after dinner." It's clean there, and I think Miss Mu will like it. ”
Mu Jin replied: "Thank you Madame for bothering, Mu Jin can live anywhere." ”
Mrs. Su nodded with satisfaction and started eating.
Su Weiyu vetoed: "Mother, will the North Park be too remote?"
Liang Shaofang thought for a while, frowned, and said, "This ........ What does my mother-in-law think?"
Old Madam Su said firmly: "Although the North Park is a little remote, it is clean, Miss Mu is a woman, and it is very suitable to live there." "There can't be any chance for them to develop affection!!
Su Weiyu put down the bowl, walked behind the old lady, and pinched the old lady's shoulder: "Grandma, do you think, North Park is uninhabited all year round, there is no popularity, although it has been cleaned, it is not deserted, but there is always a feeling of desolation, let Miss Mu live there, if it spreads, others will say that our Su family is unreasonable, and let a weak woman live in a place where people don't live all year round, isn't this snubbing?"
Mrs. Su thought about it carefully, and also felt that what Su Weiyu said made sense, the Su family has a big business, and the masters will not say anything, but it is difficult to guarantee that these subordinates will not chew the root of their tongues behind their backs and spread it to affect the reputation of the Su family, what if Mu Jin also spreads this matter?
Thinking of this, Old Madam Su sighed: "That's it, I can't talk about you young people, you can arrange it, don't snub Miss Renmu." ”
Su Weiyu smiled: "Yes, grandma, my grandson knows." Let's let Miss Mu live with us in the bamboo forest courtyard, grandma, what do you think?"
Su Weicheng also spoke: "Grandma, I think this arrangement is good." Su Weiyi also nodded incessantly.
Old Madam Su nodded helplessly: "Okay, okay, that's all." He stretched out his hand again and patted Su Weiyu's hand that was massaging her: "Okay, hurry up and sit back and eat! After eating and resting, after a day's journey, you are not tired, am I still tired?"
Everyone hurried to eat again.
