, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
Su Yi didn't notice Yang Jin's subtle tone, but he really said it very honestly. new
Yang Jin:......
You don't have to tell me!
I can find out all the information about Li Ji at such a fast speed. Is this still a human being?
"How did Miss Six find out about Li Ji?" Yang Jin asked secretly, figuring out Miss Six's path. He also wanted to overtake in a corner.
Su Yi didn't know, he didn't ask his sister, so he shook his head.
Yang Jin looked at Su Yi with difficulty. This prince was really the most innocent and honest person he had ever seen.
The prince here met Su Yi and took the evidence he sent. These evidences are indeed very important, and although the matter about Li Ji still needs to be verified, Yan Junchu thought of Su Xinyi's character. She didn't look like someone who had heard about something. people.
I'm afraid that these news are probably true. Yan Junchu couldn't help but chuckle when he heard Su Yi talk about the origin of paper and other things.
Not taking the usual path is indeed what Miss Su Liu will do.
Su Yi felt relieved after reporting the matter, and felt relaxed. Hearing the prince ask, "Who else knows about Li Ji's matter?"
Su Yi said: "My sister-in-law only told me that she will follow her family south to Huaining in a few days. It is impossible to tell others about this."
Yan Junchu was stunned for a moment, then asked calmly: "Miss Su Liu went to her hometown in Huaining to worship her ancestors?"
Su Yi smiled honestly, "Yes, since he is a member of our family, of course he must write his name on the family tree of his hometown, inform his relatives, and pay tribute to his family ancestors."
Yan Junchu said: "This is a happy event."
Su Yi nodded, he also thought it was a good thing. As for his sister's plan to return to Huaining with her niece, he didn't say anything. After all, it involved Shi Zhongqian. This kind of household chores involved pulling out carrots and bringing out the mud. No matter what, it would hurt both sides. It would be wrong to say more, so he simply kept silent.
Yan Junchu looked at Su Yi and Yang Jin, "How about you two going south to Huaining?"
Yang Jin immediately said: "I am willing to share your worries for Your Highness."
Su Yi was a step late. He didn't expect such a big job to fall on him, so he also said, "My subordinate is willing."
"Then go and prepare." Yan Junchu nodded, "Behind Li Ji are Concubine Li and Taishi Li. When you go south, remember to be cautious and don't alert others. It's important to collect evidence."
"Yes." They both responded in unison.
On the other side, Su Xinyi also received news from her mother that her mother and daughter were going to Huaining together.
Su Jingmo and Su Xixian were envious, and Su Chaoyan didn't fight over them, so there was nothing special about them.
"I heard that the Su family in Huaining is more impressive than the Duke's Mansion in the capital. I really want to go back and have a look." Su Jingmo said with great yearning. After all, that is the old residence of the Su family.
Su Xixian nodded, "Yes, it's a pity that we can't go."
If there are too many people and the target of the convoy is too big, Shi Zhongqian will naturally notice it, and it will be annoying enough to be targeted by him.
Moreover, the sisters are about the same age and have to stay in the capital to see their marriage. The third lady certainly doesn't want her daughter to travel back and forth for several months to delay a lifelong event.
Although Su Yi couldn't accompany him as an escort, he couldn't really let the fourth lady take him with him at home. If he encountered someone dealing with officials on the way, it would be better for a man to come forward.
So Su Qi, who was studying in the academy, was called back. He was at home for the second time. Su Yi, the eldest brother, couldn't go, so he had to go.
Su Qi once followed his father back to his hometown. Naturally, he happily agreed to the errand. Being able to go out with his sixth sister again must have been very lively on the road. For him, who spent all day studying in the academy, it was simply a surprise. It is joy falling from heaven.
In order to ensure safety on the road, Duke Su Mi of Qi specifically asked about it. It was a coincidence that the officers and soldiers deployed to defend Pingning Guard happened to be passing through Huaining, so he asked the commander of Pingning Guard, Xie Jinglue, to take care of him along the way. newᴄᴏᴍ
Su Mi is not as famous as his fourth brother in broadcasting, precisely because he is honest and honest, and compared to Su Chun, who has many ideas and tricks, and has a blind mind as soon as he turns his eyes, he is a very good person.
Moreover, Huaining is not far from Pingning Guard, and every year they send some rice flour and cotton-padded clothes to the surrounding guards. Of course, Pingning Guard has also benefited from the Su family, so Jinglui immediately agreed after listening to Su Mi's words.
Jinglue lives up to his name. Even though he is a military general, he looks very elegant and has the demeanor of a Confucian general. His speech is neither slow nor slow, which makes people feel like spring breeze.
"Of course the general will not refuse the request from the Duke of the State." Jie Jing smiled slightly and said, "Speaking of the fact that the general will return to Beijing to resume his duties, he has heard a lot about Miss Su Liu's deeds in a short period of time. I think back to that time. The Fourth Master Su and I once had a relationship, but our relationship was short-lived but we had a good rapport. The Fourth Master Su died for his country, and the general will respect him very much."
Mentioning the fourth brother, Su Mi's expression also showed a bit of sadness, "As a soldier, this is his mission. It is his duty to protect the border and be loyal to the king. The fourth brother died a worthy death, and our whole family is proud of him." "
After Jie Jinglue and Su Mi had a drink, the matter was settled, and the Duke of Qi came up with a sum of money to garrison the Pingning Guards, so naturally everyone was happy.
Knowing that the commander was escorting them all the way, everyone in the Duke of Qi's mansion breathed a sigh of relief, and they were really relieved now.
The night before leaving, Mrs. Tai called Su Baiwei, looked at her and said, "I have already written to the old house. You can safely take Sister Jun to live here."
Su Baiwei hurriedly stood up and saluted her grandmother, "It's because my granddaughter is being unfilial to bother her about my affairs."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Mrs. Tai smiled, patted Su Baiwei's hand and said, "Although you are from Heli, it is not uncommon for Heli to remarry in Nan Qi. There are familiar faces everywhere in the capital. It's too easy to say, but in Huaining I asked your third uncle and grandmother to take care of you and see if there is a suitable candidate."
"Grandma..." Su Baiwei was stunned for a moment. She didn't want to get married again so soon.
"Listen to grandma." The wife looked at her granddaughter with a serious expression. "You are in your best years now. You only have a daughter, Sister Jun. Even if you remarry, you can still find a good family. Grandma doesn't insist on you marrying. In Huaining, I want you to see if there is anyone you like, and if there is no suitable one, you can come back in a year and a half."
At this point, Mrs. Tai took a breath and added: "If you can meet the right person in Huaining, you can marry her and stay away from the capital and the Shi family. This will be a good thing for Sister Jun and you. Grandma is telling you this. I want you to have a good idea first, and if you find someone suitable, write back and I will ask your parents to go back and see for themselves, and I will take good care of you."
Su Baiwei knew her grandmother's thoughts, her eyes turned red, and she nodded in agreement, "My granddaughter will remember it."
"Why are you crying? If you really can't find the right one, you will never marry for the rest of your life, and the house can accommodate you. You can advance or retreat, and straighten your spine." The wife said.
"Yes." Su Baiwei laughed while crying.
After Su Baiwei left, Mother Yu looked at the expression on Mrs. Tai's face and cautiously advised her: "Mrs. Tai, you did the right thing. This person always needs a companion. When Sister Jun grows up and gets married in the future, she will just It will be so lonely when you are the only eldest girl left. If you can find a suitable person, you can have someone to rely on for the rest of your life."
Mrs. Tai let out a long sigh, "Bai Wei is good at everything, but she is too considerate of others. It depends on her fate."
This time they left the Duke of Qi's Mansion quietly. On the first day of their departure, their family held a farewell banquet for them. Early the next morning, Su Qi led the convoy of the Duke of Qi's Mansion to meet Commander Xie outside the city gate through the morning dew and dawn. Make the confluence go south.
Su Qi rode forward on horseback like Commander Xie and others. Su Xinyi and the fourth lady were in a car, and Su Baiwei and her daughter were in a car. Behind them were accompanying vehicles arranged by the Duke's Mansion to ensure what was needed on the road.
When Jie Jinglue went to Beijing to resign, he brought not many people with him. One of his lieutenants was Fan Pengchi, the commander of Pingning Guards. This commander had a completely different style from theirs. He had a strong body and a stubble on his face. He looked very handsome. He was so fierce, and when he saw Su Qi, a fair and tender young man like him, although he didn't show it on his face, there was a bit of disdain in his eyes.
After they left the capital for dozens of miles, more than a dozen people came to join Jinglue and others. Su Xinyi sat in the car and raised the curtain to see this scene, feeling thoughtful in her heart.
Although Su Qi is a white-faced scholar who seems to be frail, he rode the horse all day without complaining, and he didn't look like he was holding on. When they camped on the spot for dinner, Fan Pengchi's attitude towards Su Qi Visibly getting better.
The female family members were cooking on the other side. Naturally, there were maids and mothers-in-law busy at work, and there was also a cook accompanying them. Now even the people of Pingningwei did not have to chew dry dry food, and they drank hot soup and ate hot food. After dinner, Su Qi took advantage of the situation and became warm with them.
When Su Xinyi looked at him, he felt that his second brother was more than just a person, and he didn't realize that he had such ability.
Mrs. Su Si and Su Baiwei didn't care about this. After finishing Sister Jun's cooking, Su Baiwei took her daughter back to the car to rest.
Mrs. Su Si looked at Su Xinyi and said, "We rested earlier and have to leave early tomorrow morning."
Su Xinyi nodded, "Mom, you go first. I'll wait for my second brother and come back later."
Mrs. Su Si gave a few instructions and got into the carriage. The carriages for long journeys were specially modified. The partitions in the carriages were laid out as beds, and thick brocade mattresses were laid on them to sleep.
Su Xinyi sat in front of the bonfire and remembered what her grandfather told her before leaving. Pingningwei had some contacts with the Su family in Huaining, and they were not far or close. This time they asked them to escort the uncle, and they also gave Pingningwei money to repair the house. .
As the day progressed, Su Xinyi secretly observed Jinglue and Fan Pengchi. Needless to say, Fan Pengchi was strong and could easily run around all day long.
However, the interpretation of the Bible is a bit surprising. The commanders of various military posts are hereditary. If I die in battle, my son will take over. If my son dies in war, my grandson will take over. If the official's descendants are still underage when he dies, the official will be provided through "preferential gifts" Full salary during lifetime.
Jing Lue also looked like a white-faced scholar, but Su Xinyi had carefully observed that he was skilled in horseback riding and was not tired from traveling long distances. He also did not put on airs when dealing with his second brother, and seemed very easy to get along with.
It makes sense when you think about it. Hereditary inheritance is not an unconditional automatic inheritance. All the children of military attachés who are eligible for the inheritance need to participate in the competition held by the Martial Arts Selection Department. Through a strict hereditary selection system, we can prevent the descendants of officers from sitting on the royal food.
If Jinglue can successfully inherit the position of commander, he is certainly not an idiot.
The more this happened, the more vigilant Su Xinyi became. She had suffered too much from smiling tigers in her previous life, and it made her cry just thinking about it.
Not long after waiting, Su Qi came back, looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile, "Sixth sister hasn't rested yet?"
"I'm waiting for the second brother." Su Xinyi smiled, stepped aside, and motioned for the second brother to sit down and talk.
Su Qi sat down and said with a smile, "What do you want to ask?"
Su Xinyi was also happy, "Second brother is really smart."
The place where they were sitting was surrounded by space. You could see if anyone was around when you raised your eyes, so it felt safe to talk here.
"After this day, I feel that Commander Jie is very easy to get along with. Fan Qianshi around him is a bit more temperamental."
Su Xinyi nodded when he heard this, "It's normal. Those who offend others are all subordinates, and the boss above him is a good person."
Su Qi:......
This is not a rough statement.
"Not much can be seen in one day, but since it was entrusted by my father and he is considerate to the people in our house, this is enough." Su Qi said, and his family told him to keep an eye on his sixth sister on the way. Don't dare to be careless.
Su Xinyi was happy, "I know, second brother, don't worry, I promise not to cause trouble."
Su Qi was a little embarrassed, coughed slightly and said, "I also asked about something. Do you remember the person who will join us later today?"
Su Xinyi nodded, of course he remembered.
"There is a criminal who was exiled to the army there." It was the first time for Su Qi to see a prisoner who was exiled to the army, and he couldn't help but feel a little sad, "I heard that he was from the Martial Arts Department."
The Department of Martial Arts is a fat official, responsible for the selection, promotion, replacement, and merit rewards of local officials in the guard station. Being an official here is certainly a fat job, but it is also very dangerous. If you are caught accidentally, you will either be beheaded or exiled.
Officials in the Southern Qi Dynasty were not as tolerant as those in the previous dynasty. They kept killing officials and exterminating families. It had happened that they had all the Jinshi in the same ranking. Such a strong law could only be seen in the Southern Qi Dynasty.
It's like the ancestral foundation of the Duke of Qin's palace is not weak, but when it comes to the Yanyin case, once the evidence is solid, the Duke of Qin's house was confiscated and imprisoned. It was so resolute and shocking that it was shocking.
Su Xinyi looked at his second brother and said, "It seems that this one should be exiled to Pingning Guard."
Su Qi said: "Sixth sister is really smart."
When Xie Jinglue came to Beijing to report on his duties, he happened to bring back the people who had been exiled to their guard station, so that the escort officials would not have to make another trip.
Seeing nothing at the moment, Su Xinyi looked at the second brother and said, "Second brother, please go and rest quickly. It's been a hard day riding a horse."
Su Qi just felt lucky that he didn't slack off when he went to the academy to study. Otherwise, not to mention riding a horse for a day today, half a day would be enough for him.
Just thinking about riding horses all the way to Huaining made him wish he could fly there with wings.
After breakfast early the next day, they set out on the road. The scenery along the way gradually became different. It didn't look like the affluence of the capital. The villages and countryside along the way were different.
Densely populated areas will be richer, while sparsely populated areas will naturally be desolate.
The checkpoints on official roads are very strict. Even if there are people like Jie Jinglue and others, as well as the jade plaque from the Duke of Qi's mansion, the checkpoint inspectors still carefully check the official documents and directions.
After traveling for days, it was better for Su Xinyi and others to take a carriage, but Su Qi couldn't bear it anymore.
Mrs. Su Si felt a little distressed when she saw her. She looked at Su Qi and said, "You also come in and take the car. Let's rest for a day."
Su Qi shook his head. Although the carriage was spacious, it would seem cramped if the fourth aunt and sixth sister had him in the carriage. There was a child in the eldest sister's carriage at the back, and it was not convenient for him to go there.
Su Xinyi rolled his eyes, looked at Su Qi and said, "Second brother, let's switch. I've been holding back in the car for the past few days. You also let me ride a horse to stretch my muscles, okay?"
Su Qi immediately said: "How can that be done? The people riding horses outside are all men, and you are a girl..."
"It's just like I put on Hu clothes." Su Xinyi said with a smile, "And we are riding on horseback. Who has time to chat? Second brother, can you let me ride for one day? Just one day."
Su Qi really couldn't bear it anymore, so he hesitated.
When Mrs. Su Si saw her, she immediately said, "I'll go to the back to help Bai Wei look after Sister Jun. I'll give you a day's rest in this carriage."
After the discussion, after breakfast, Su Xinyi went back to the carriage and changed her clothes. The fish belly white Hufu was nice and comfortable, and she got on Su Qi's horse neatly with calfskin boots on her feet.
Mrs. Su Fourth also sent the things she needed to Su Baiwei's carriage, and gave the carriage to Su Qi. Su Qi didn't refuse as soon as she saw it, and thanked her fourth aunt and sixth sister.
He staggered onto the carriage, spread out his own bedding, and let his young servant Chang Dayou follow him. He took off his pants and saw that the areas on both thighs where the ointment had been applied were all swollen and slightly purple. He was really too bitter.
Su Qi:......
"Master, you can't ride a horse anymore. You have to rest for a few days." Chang Dayou took the ointment and applied it on the young master, being careful not to aggravate the injury.
Outside, Su Xinyi was riding on a horse and was not showing off. Instead, he followed the Su family's motorcade in an orderly manner. He also put some distance between himself and Jie Jinglue and others at the front, and asked Chang Dafu, the young man next to his second brother, to go over and explain. , to avoid misunderstanding.
The climate in the south is different from that in the capital. It’s humid and rainy, with lots of water. It makes your face feel moist when you breathe on it.
At the end of the day, no one from the Exegetical Guide came to care about Su Xinyi, and Su Xinyi followed the carriage obediently. The sun was still shining brightly in the morning, but the sky became gloomy not long after lunch. Su Xinyi raised his head and looked at the sky. , it is expected to rain.
However, she didn't say much. There were people in front of her who were used to walking outside, and they would definitely check the weather. As expected, it didn't take long for Jinglue to send people ahead to explore the road to find inns and inns.
Not long after, Su Xinyi saw someone riding back to answer the Bible Explanation. Soon someone came over and informed, "Miss Six, the commander said it will rain today. Go to the inn in front to take shelter from the rain. Look. OK?"
Of course, Su Xinyi would not embarrass others. There is no inn to stay here, so it is appropriate to find an inn to stay, so she said: "I understand, tell the commander for me to thank him for his trouble."
Xiao Bing hurriedly went to reply. When the Jinglue received the reply, he immediately sped up and moved forward.
It didn't take long for them to arrive at the inn. The inn in the town was not big. Unfortunately, before they arrived, a caravan also stayed here, and the room became tense.
Su Qi got off the carriage, walked to Su Xinyi and said, "Sixth sister, you go back to the car first, and I'll go take a look."
Su Xinyi shook his head, "I'll go with my second brother."
Su Qi didn't refuse, so he led Su Xinyi towards the Bible Explanation Guide. As soon as he got close, he heard Fan Pengchi ask in a loud voice: "How many vacancies do you have?"
"My lord, including the not-so-good rooms in the backyard, there are ten rooms in total." The waiter felt timid looking at such a group of people. When he heard the question, he hurried forward to reply.
"How many connecting rooms are there?" Fan Pengchi asked dissatisfiedly. Ten rooms were not enough for the rest of them.
"Four rooms." The waiter frowned at the person in front of him, his voice trembling with fear.
Fan Pengchi looked at the waiter and said, "Go and negotiate with the caravan people and ask them to give up the connecting rooms. I will pay for their stay tonight."
The waiter hurriedly responded and ran away.
Su Xinyi listened to the second brother next to him and said, "We are new here. It is too dangerous to live separately. Fan Qian is right to do this."
Su Xinyi nodded, looked at his second brother and said, "I didn't expect Fan Qian to be quite meticulous in everything he does."
Su Qi said with a smile: "When marching and fighting, you need to know how to survey the terrain and set up camps. The same goes for staying in a hotel. There are many of us and we have women, so of course we have to be careful."
The two brothers and sisters talked, and things were quickly adjusted over there, and the caravan really agreed to give up the room.
When the people in the caravan were changing rooms, Jie Jinglue personally spoke to the fourth lady through the curtain of the carriage, and then arranged the female family members of the Duke's Mansion into two adjacent rooms. Su Qi's room was also next to theirs, and Gave a servant's room.
In this way, the Duke's Mansion occupies four rooms. Among the rooms given out by the caravan, there is one room for Jie Jinglue and Fan Pengchi. The east and west rooms are occupied by the accompanying sergeants to facilitate the night guard.
The remaining people, plus the other servants accompanying the Duke's Mansion, could only live in the house in the backyard, and more people had to squeeze into one room. The conditions in a small place were like this, and no one could complain, as long as they had a place to live. good.
Just after they checked in, Su Xinyi helped the fourth lady into the room. It was raining heavily outside. Everyone secretly said they were lucky. If they were a step later, they would be wet.
Su Xinyi settled her mother and was about to go out to see her eldest sister and Sister Jun when she suddenly heard a slight sound, mixed with the sound of rain, and it was difficult to hear the difference without distinguishing carefully.
Su Xinyi immediately signaled her mother to go to the eldest sister's house. She held the waist knife in her hand, slowed down and walked to the window. She pushed the window open suddenly and heard a click as if she had hit something.
Su Xinyi clenched her waist knife and flew out in an instant. She only saw a black shadow flashing onto the roof, and she immediately chased after him.
At this moment, the window next door opened instantly, and Jinglue and Fan Pengchi poked their heads out. Fan Pengchi cursed, grabbed the window lattice with both hands, turned over, and climbed onto the roof.
The interpreter frowned and turned back from behind the window. He immediately summoned people to be on guard and ordered a few more people to immediately chase Fan Pengchi and Su Xinyi.
