Chapter 14 Go with confidence
Sun Xiumin felt that Ruizhi was no longer as close to them as before, but it was inevitable that Ruizhi would feel resentful when she did something like that and forced her to swallow her anger.

From now on, Ruizhi will no longer be the obedient girl she once was.

Perhaps, from the moment Ruizhi fell in love with Su Pan and fled back to Beijing, she was no longer the same.

Sun Xiumin shook his head in disappointment, "Ruizhi no longer listens to me."

"She can't go even if she doesn't. Half a month ago, General Fudu suddenly ordered the city to be sealed off, cutting off all contact between Xiangzhou and the outside world. Let alone people being unable to enter, even a bird flying to the city gate would be killed. The arrow penetrated.”

Gao Jinying never mentioned court matters to Sun Xiumin. Now when he did mention them, he only talked about the important ones and did not go into details.

Sun Xiumin was even more puzzled: "The battle has not been won. The general should have returned to the court to receive merit and rewards. Why did he order the city to be closed down?"

When the war was at its peak, General Fudu did not even order the city to be closed down, but spared the people who fled the city and allowed them to make a living elsewhere. Now, he ordered the city to be closed down, which is really puzzling.

Gao Jinying thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth: "I heard that after the capture of Xiangzhou, an earth-shattering incident was discovered, which is very likely to shake the country, so the city was closed to investigate the matter."

After saying this, he did not forget to tell his wife: "Don't tell anyone about the important matters of the imperial court. Just let Ruizhi go. You will know to turn around when she is tired."

Qin Ruizhi pulled up her hair and tied it with a hairpin. She wore a tight-fitting black cotton and linen robe, a black flowing cloud inlaid with gold-rimmed belt, and a short blade hidden around her waist for self-defense. The overall appearance was low-key and convenient.

The Gao family was small, the Gao couple only had two daughters, and few servants. It was impossible to expect them to escort her, so Qin Ruizhi decided to go to Xiangzhou alone.

She simply packed a few changes of clothes, wrapped herself in a scarf, put on her curtain hat, and was ready to set off.

As soon as they reached the door, they saw Sun Xiumin and Gao Lingchu waiting there. The mother and daughter happened to be standing on one side of the door, one on the left and one on the right. Their posture was clearly to block Qin Ruizhi from the door.

Qin Ruizhi took off the curtain and walked over, with a look of reluctance on her face: "Aunt, you don't have to persuade me, I have already decided that I will definitely go to Xiangzhou. If you let me go now, I will wait until the Yan family's wedding banquet is over. Just come back. If you insist on blocking it, then I..."

"I won't stop you. You can go with ease."

Before Qin Ruizhi finished speaking, Sun Xiumin handed over a silver bag, stuffed it into Qin Ruizhi's hand, and warned: "How can you do it without money when you go out? The house is not well off recently, there are 50 taels here, you take it first. But for four or five days, if you save some money, it should be enough to stay and eat."

"Ah?" Qin Ruizhi almost thought she heard wrong, but the heavy amount of money in her hand was real, and she was very surprised: "Shouldn't you be stopping me from going?"

Sun Xiumin smiled sweetly and said: "Girls from the Gao family don't have so many restrictions. The sea and the sky are vast and you can travel freely. You can go wherever you want. As long as you can come back safely."

"No... mother, sister is going to Xiangzhou?" Gao Lingchu winked at his mother anxiously, walked up to Qin Ruizhi, blocked her way, and said anxiously: "How can we go to Xiangzhou? That place just finished fighting, and there were casualties. There are countless people burning, killing and looting everywhere. Sister, how can you go to such a dangerous place?"

Sun Xiumin rolled his eyes and said with a smile: "Your sister always has the best ideas. If she wants to go, let her go. If you are worried, just go with your sister, so that the sisters can take care of each other on the way." That's Xiangzhou, Xiangzhou where the war just ended.

The book said that in the war-torn land, there were countless casualties, no clothes on the body, no food to eat, and even cannibalism.

Gao Lingchu shuddered in fright, shook his head, and took a few steps back.

"If you don't dare to go, get out of the way and don't delay your sister's schedule."

Sun Xiumin's voice was much softer, thinking that one day would be enough from the moment Qin Ruizhi went out, galloping on horseback, to finding out that Xiangzhou was closed, and then returning to the Gao family.

If you can make it in time, you can come back for dinner in the evening.

Gao Lingchu's face suddenly turned red. Feeling bored, he took the initiative to get out of the way and watched Qin Ruizhi pass by her. He wanted to stop her but didn't have the courage to take risks, so he could only watch unwillingly.

When Qin Ruizhi mounted his horse and left, Gao Lingchu said unwillingly: "Mother, are you letting sister take such risks? She wants to avoid the Yan family's wedding banquet. She can go anywhere. Why does she have to go to Xiangzhou? .”

Sun Xiumin looked again in the direction where Qin Ruizhi left. Qin Ruizhi's horse was riding very fast, and in a blink of an eye she was no longer visible. She chuckled and said, "If she goes to Xiangzhou, she will definitely come back tonight. By the way, where is your sister?" Yingzhu's wedding is coming soon, so you two sisters should spend more time with Ruizhi, doing embroidery, playing chess, practicing martial arts, whatever you want. Don't let your sister be idle, she will easily think about things when she is idle, and she will be sad."

"I would like to, but Azhou went to the banquet house early in the morning and couldn't stop him. He went on for several days and refused to listen no matter what he said. Cousin Yingzhu seemed to have promised her some benefits, and she ran very diligently every day. Yes. What I knew was that my cousin got married, but I didn’t know that I thought it was her biological sister who got married.”

Gao Lingchu lowered his head and glanced at his mother's face with his peripheral vision.

Sure enough, Sun Xiumin's face suddenly darkened, and her expression was stern: "Why did she forget to eat but not to fight? Did she forget that Yingzhu almost killed Ruizhi? If I hadn't pressured Ruizhi to calm things down and put things in order After covering up the past, how can the Yan family be as prosperous as it is now? She didn't want to avoid suspicion, but instead got close to her. "

Dare to hurt others because of jealousy. The best destination for such a person is to die alone. How dare you let her get married? Isn't that harmful to people?
If she hadn't made an appointment with her sister, she would never have let them go.What's more, the person she married was Su Pan. Su Pan harmed her niece, which matched her perfectly.

Sun Xiumin stopped pursuing her, and followed the etiquette, prepared gifts, and sent her off to get married.But her two daughters were absolutely unwilling to get close to her.

Looking at the daughter in front of her, she is already 15 years old. Gao Lingzhou is also 14 years old, which is the age for marriage. Because of Qin Ruizhi's incident, it is impossible to arrange a decent marriage in Puzhou. He has to return to Kyoto. go.

Back in Kyoto, relying on the Gao family's lintel, it is possible to say that the family is related to the emperor.No matter how bad it is, it is okay for merchants and petty officials to rush to take the exams as disciples. It is better than wasting time in Puzhou.

Ruizhi, I can only suffer you.

Sun Xiumin sighed, "When A Zhou comes back, let her come to see me. I told her why she is so indifferent to right and wrong."
