Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 70 Farewell
Selling the horse at the horse market, she walked on the streets of Yingtian City, the sun was rising but the surrounding coolness increased instead of increasing.

Su Wanru gathered her clothes together, and stopped in front of a chaotic stall, thought for a while, sat down and smiled, and said to the proprietress, "Come to a bowl of chaotic chaos."

"Wait a moment." The proprietress is in her forties, and she is the only one with two children in the stall, one is seven or eight years old, and the other is three or four years old. The wontons will be served soon. Su Wanru looked at the younger one and said with a smile: "Morning It's so cold, he can sit here, how good he is."

"There is no way." The proprietress was clearing the table, and the older boy was helping her wash the dishes, his hands were red and rough from the cold, "His father joined the army and passed away in Shandong last year. He left two children for me... ...Fortunately, they are sensible, otherwise I really would not be able to live."

"It's better for you to raise it." Su Wanru smiled and lowered her head to eat the chaos, because the location is a bit remote, and there are not many people who come to eat, the proprietress sat down and beat her waist, and said: "Miss is still young, you come out alone with family members Don't worry?"

"I don't have a family." Su Wanru said with a smile, "Wherever a person wants to go, what he wants to do."

The proprietress was taken aback for a moment, and then she smiled wistfully, "Seeing that your complexion is not very good, something has happened. Girl, no matter what happens, it will pass. No matter whether it is good or bad, it is like running water. It flowed away in a blink of an eye. Flowing and flowing, I took away the sad and happy things together, it's okay!"

"Yeah." The corners of Su Wanru's eyes were reddish, she lowered her head and ate the chaos, tears fell into the bowl, she held the bowl to cover her face, Xili Hulu drank the soup together, and threw ten copper coins, "It's delicious, let's go I will eat again next time."

"You don't need that much, five is enough." The proprietress returned the extra money to her, and Su Wanru smiled, "Buy candy for the two children."

After the words fell, she closed her skirt and lowered her head, and hurried away.

"It's also pitiful." The proprietress grabbed the money, looked at Su Wanru's back, and sighed.

Su Wanru walked quickly, heading towards Jinxiufang in a hurry, she was very depressed, she couldn't tell what she was feeling, she always felt...something was missing.

"Master Su Embroidery." The woman guarding the door opened the door when she heard the knock, looked at Su Wanru's pale face, and said in astonishment: "You... why are you back now, come in quickly, it's very cold today."

Su Wanru was indeed very cold, her hands and feet were so cold that she couldn't feel it after riding the horse all night.

"Thank you mother." Su Wanru entered the door, and the mother-in-law closed it casually, calling out, "Wait a minute." Then, she ran to the waiter and poured her a cup of tea, "Have some hot tea to warm up first. His face is ugly."

"Thank you." Su Wanru stood at the door, took a sip of hot tea from a cup, and sipped the wonton just now. She finally felt more comfortable, put the cup down to thank her, and went into the inner courtyard, going straight to the head of Qiu.

"Ajin." Mama Cai was carrying an empty food box and was about to go to the cafeteria, seeing her surprised face, "What... what happened to you?"

Su Wanru smiled at her, "Is Auntie there?"

"Yes." Mother Cai pushed the yard door open for her and looked at her, "You are not sick, do you want to call a doctor for you?"

Su Wanru shook her head, "No need. I'm just a little tired, just take a rest."

"Then you go in quickly, I'll ask the girl to boil hot water for you, and you can take a shower and sleep later." Mother Cai smiled and pointed in the direction of the dining hall, "Wait for me for a while, and I will be here with the boss Eat breakfast."

Su Wanru should have entered the yard, but Chief Qiu was already standing at the door, saw her waving, and asked, "Did you come back from Fengyang at night?"

"En." Su Wanru held onto Chief Qiu's arm, and remained silent for a while. Chief Qiu held her half in his arms and patted her on the back, and said soothingly, "It's good when I'm back. If there's anything else, Auntie here I am."

The two sat down on the arhat bed, Su Wanru didn't say a word, just sat cross-legged, and ate breakfast with Mr. Qiu.

"Go back to sleep." Seeing that she didn't say anything, Chief Qiu didn't ask too much. With Su Wanru's temperament, if she wanted to say it, she would definitely speak it out. If she didn't say it, even if you asked, she would take it perfunctorily. Never let go.

"Hmm." Su Wanru put on her shoes and came down, and Master Qiu grabbed the cloak on the screen and wrapped it up for her, "You want to enter the Moon Tower, or do we go to worship today?"

Su Wanru suddenly looked up at Master Qiu, her eyes turned red, and said, "Thank you, Auntie!"

"What stupid things?" Chief Qiu pulled her out, and said as he walked, "Although we don't know what you want to do, we believe that you will not harm Jinxiufang. When we are in trouble, you help us, now If you have difficulties, we will naturally not stand by."

Having been in touch for such a long time, Director Qiu vaguely guessed that the purpose of Su Wanru coming to Jinxiufang was related to the Moon Tower, but she couldn't guess what she wanted to do.

However, everyone has their own bottom line and secrets. They will naturally say what they want to say, and they can't force it if they don't want to say it.

"You go back and rest first." Chief Qiu said, "I'll make some arrangements. We will enter the Moon Tower at noon."

Su Wanru nodded yes, and watched Master Qiu go to the front yard. She turned a corner and went back to her own yard. The door was closed, and everything in the room was as usual. She fell on the bed, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

What happened in Fengyang this time was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If she missed this opportunity, she might never meet again.

She killed Lao Wu to protect herself. Originally, she just came up with a bad idea, but Lao Wu thought a little too much... This was the first time she really wiped someone's neck with a knife. Limp on the ground, it turns out that killing people doesn't feel good at all.

She covered her head with the quilt, her mind was still buzzing...

After Lai Wu died, Fengyang was bound to be in chaos. The chaos was just the beginning, and there would be constant disputes over the construction of the ancestral mausoleum. Jing slowly appeared.

The jealousy between the crown prince and King Ning, the grandson of the emperor's first big event but such a mess, one can imagine how many people in Beijing will start to be tempted.

A weak and non-existent prince, and now there is a weak emperor's grandson.

This is a great suggestion, and the result will be like weeds, growing wantonly in the spring breeze, silently.

Another point, this matter will make Zhao Zhiang sick.

If he disgusted him, she would be happy, more than anything else. If it wasn't for the lack of time, she really wanted to set fire to Da Zhou's ancestral mausoleum after it was completed, which would be more interesting.

Let some people make a mess first, only when there is a mess, can she rescue Su Ji, otherwise, she won't say that she only has three thousand dragon guards, even thirty thousand, and she can't save Su Ji by herself. season.

"A Jin." There was a knock on the door, and Liu Sanniang and Jiao Zhenying shouted outside, "Are you back?"

Su Wanru rubbed her face, got up and opened the door, said with a smile: "I just came back, I was about to change clothes and take a bath." She invited the two of them in, and brought the pot to fetch hot water. Liu Sanniang held her back and said, "Sit down and rest for a while." Son, let's talk a few words."

"Okay!" Su Wanru sat down, Liu Sanniang and Jiao Zhenying looked at each other, she said, "Are you going?"

Su Wanru lowered her eyes, fiddled with the teacup on the table and did not speak.

"If you can't say it, forget it." Liu Sanniang held her hand across the table and said, "No matter where you go, remember to send us a message."

Su Wanru looked up at them and nodded, "Okay!"

"Master Su Xiu, here comes the hot water." Outside the door, two women brought hot water, Su Wanru got up and opened the door, the woman put the bucket in the middle, Liu Sanniang and Jiao Zhenying stood up, and said with a smile: "You can rest , we went to work."

Su Wanru nodded, and sent them out to close the door and take a careful bath. They were very sleepy, but they didn't feel sleepy at all.

She rubbed her forehead, only feeling her temples throbbing.

After thinking about it, she still got up and went to the Shanshui Pavilion. The embroidered ladies on the first floor saw her coming and greeted her at the door one after another. Qiaohong said: "They said you are back, we don't want to believe it, but we didn't expect you to come back. "

"I'll be back when I'm done." Su Wanru pinched Qiaohong's face and said with a smile, "I came back in a hurry and forgot to bring you something delicious. Before I came in, I asked my mother-in-law to buy snacks for me. Everyone has it, let me atone for it."

Everyone laughed happily, and someone laughed and said, "Have you bought chestnuts? We were still talking about it yesterday. Whoever has a rest today will go buy chestnuts and eat them."

"Yes, there must be!" Su Wanru said, "If it wasn't for the lack of money, I wish I could move his shop back together."

Everyone laughed.

Su Wanru entered her room and sat in front of the embroidery frame. The screen had just embroidered at the beginning, and there were still many things missing. She had just picked up the needle and thread when Cai Xuan came down from the stairs, opened the door and hugged her, shouting: "Ajin, you treat me so badly, you don't tell me when you leave or when you come back."

"I'm leaving in a hurry." Su Wanru pulled her to sit down, and said, "I'll just have time to talk to them in charge. How are you these two days, are you serious about things?"

Cai Xuan nodded, "I'm working hard. I have a lot of work in hand. I'm so anxious that the corners of my mouth are about to bubble." Things have all fallen on our Jinxiufang, and things can't be finished."

"You don't feel bored if you have something to do." Su Wanru smiled and said, "When you sit here in a daze all day, you'll feel that it's better to be busy."

Cai Xuan thinks about it too, if people really have nothing to do, it would be so boring.

"Follow your sisters to learn well, don't think about playing all day long, thinking about going back to marry after three or a few years." Su Wanru said softly: "Even if you are married, you have a good skill, and you will be married in the future." If I can subsidize the family and teach my daughter how to do it, she will have another way out."

Cai Xuan nodded, "I know."

"Also, you can't spend all the money you received. Keep some on your body. If you have a headache, you won't miss the illness." Su Wanru trimmed her hair for her, "I still have a piece of cotton cloth over there. Go to my place to get it back, and make yourself a padded jacket when you are free."

"You don't need it?" Cai Xuan froze for a moment, then frowned and said, "Why do I feel like you're explaining the funeral..." After finishing speaking, she realized that she had said something wrong, and she immediately spat twice, saying: " What's the matter with you, today is so strange. Besides, your face is not good-looking."

"A little tired." Su Wanru smiled and said, "Remember what I said." If I'm still alive, I will definitely come back to see you.

Cai Xuan's eyes turned red, she hugged Su Wanru and said, "Ajin, you are so kind to me, thank you!"

"You are good to me, I am good to you." Su Wanru's eyes were also red, and she was silent for a long time before suppressing her tears.

Cai Xuan nodded.

"Master Su Embroidery." Qiaohong knocked on the door and replied, "Master, please go to the Moon Tower."

Su Wanru shook Cai Xuan's hand, stood up abruptly, and replied, "Got it!"

"Are you going to worship today?" Cai Xuan looked surprised and excited, "Can you also go in? I heard that there are many treasures left by the princesses of the previous dynasty in the Moon Tower, not even in the palace."

"Well, the boss said I have credit for the dragon robe, let me and Sanniang follow her in." Su Wanru pulled Cai Xuan to the door, she walked a little fast, looking impatient, Cai Xuan followed behind and smiled at her , "If it were me, I would be excited too."

The embroiderers from the three halls were talking and laughing and went to the Moon Tower. Aunt Liu's injury was not healed yet, her head was wrapped in gauze, and she looked thinner and less energetic.

"I heard that she gave all her life savings to Eunuch Zhu." Cai Xuan said in a low voice, "I didn't think about Eunuch Zhu but..." It's really unlucky.

Su Wanru doesn't care about this. If it wasn't for Aunt Wang and Dou Rao who got in the way, Aunt Liu might become the one who is now in charge of Jinxiufang... She won't be much better than Aunt Wang if she becomes in charge, Qiu Whether it's my aunt or the Shanshui Museum, there is bound to be turmoil.

Someone always wins a fight. From her point of view, she certainly hopes that Aunt Qiu will win.

Everyone stood still in front of the Moon Landing Tower. Su Wanru passed through the crowd and went to the front. She saw that the closed gate of the Moon Landing Tower had been opened. The courtyard inside was very large and formed a circle around the tower. The gate of the courtyard is the entrance of the Moon Tower. Aunt Qiu will take them to the ninth floor later. On the ninth floor there is a statue of Lei Zu. After entering, burn incense and place sacrifices, and the sacrifice is over.

And she was about to go to the eighth floor. The queen mother said that the brocade box was in a cage on the eighth floor... She carefully recalled what the queen mother said, and watched Mr. Qiu and several women in the room. There is an incense table at the door...

"Ajin." Cai Xuan pulled Lasu Wanru, and the group knelt down at the door. Master Qiu held the Jinxiu Workshop's ancestors and recited. After a cup of tea, everyone kowtowed again. Then he turned his head and said to everyone: "I have spent half my life in Jinxiufang, and now I have the honor to take over the position of director. Today I entered the pagoda to worship Leizu. From then on, I, the Qiu family, will do my best to serve Jinxiufang. I dare not say anything. Carry it forward, but will definitely abide by our responsibilities, keep the foundation of our ancestors, and hope that our ancestors will bless us, Leizu will bless us!"

After Master Qiu finished speaking, he bowed to everyone, and everyone returned the salute, she glanced at Liu Sanniang, waved to Su Wanru, and said: "When Master Sui Duan was here last year, he decided to let Sanniang enter the tower with her. It is Duan's wish to be in charge and cannot be changed. As for Su Jin, some things are not revealed but everyone knows that she and Jinxiufang have a kindness, which is a great credit, so I decided that the two of them will enter the tower today Accompany!"

Naturally, everyone would not object, and they all looked at Su Wanru enviously.

Su Wanru stepped forward and stood behind Liu Sanniang, Chief Qiu entered the yard first, Liu Sanniang followed, but Su Wanru paused, stood at the door and looked up at the top of the Moon Pagoda, which seemed to be in the clouds.

"Mother..." She watched quietly, "I've come in, I've entered the Moon Tower."

Her eyes were slightly red, and she was indescribably sad.

If she could choose, she hoped that she would never come here, not have to stand in front of others, and spend her days muddled under the wings of her family...

However, she came, no wonder who, in a war, they were the loser.

Lost home country, lost life, lost everything!
"A Jin." Liu Sanniang took her hand and smiled at her, "Let's go."

Su Wanru pursed her lips and nodded, and said, "Okay!" The two of them went up the steps side by side, a gust of cold wind came blowing in, mixed with a faint scent of sandalwood, which made people feel refreshed. She woke up and had already stepped into the tower. .

There is no decoration in the main tower, facing the door is the confession, and on the right is the upward staircase, which is very narrow and steep, and only one person can walk around. The two women are estimated to be about 60 or [-] years old, but their backs are straight and energetic. Yiyi, they stood on both sides silently, nodding to Chief Qiu, without any extra words.

"Be careful." Chief Qiu turned to the two of them and said, "The stairs are very steep, please walk slowly, don't be in a hurry."

The two nodded, Su Wanru let go of Liu Sanniang's hand and walked behind.

Both sides of the staircase are painted red wood, and there are glazed lamps hanging on the wall, which contain sesame oil. In the middle of every two lamps, there are some pink and white imprints. It should be the place where calligraphy and paintings were once hung. Yes, leave such a mark.

"Has my aunt been here before?" Liu Sanniang glanced back at Su Wanru, saw that she was very nervous, so she found something to say, and the head Qiu replied: "When the head Duan took over, I was with Aunt Wang and Aunt Liu. I came in, but I didn't go up to the top of the tower, I just waited for her on the first floor."

As they talked, they went up to the second floor. The second floor spread out on all sides. There was a hall in the middle. There was no decoration in the hall, but it was cleaned very clean, and there was no dust around it.

They circled around and went up the stairs. The third and fourth floors were also empty. They guarded the two women. They waited until they went up to the fifth floor. It had the same structure as the hall below, but there were tables and chairs. There are also flower ladles and a landscape painting by Xu Yousheng from the previous dynasty on the case.

There are more things on the sixth floor, some wooden boxes are kept, a pair of screens are placed on the confession case, and there are eight screens on each side. The embroidery is also flowers and birds, with excellent embroidery skills and double-sided embroidery patterns. Different, but they are all vivid.

Su Wanru's palms were sweating, and she helped the stairs to go up to the seventh floor. There were more things on it, half of the windows were opened, and four hangers were placed on the four walls. On the shelves were four and a half old palace dresses with brocade and wide sleeves. Master Qiu pointed to one of them, and said: "This is my master's embroidery. I heard it was embroidered for that princess. Before she could wear it, the princess...but the clothes are kept here."

"This stitch..." Liu Sanniang couldn't help but stepped forward to look at it, "It's different from our usual ones, it's very special."

Master Qiu nodded, and said: "This acupuncture method is not widely spread, even I haven't learned it." She seemed to want to touch it, but she stretched out her hand but retracted it, and smiled wistfully, "Aren't you tired? Tired, why don't you rest here for a while?"

Liu Sanniang looked back at Su Wanru, she hadn't spoken since entering the tower.

"Not tired!" Su Wanru shook her head, "Let's go up."

Chief Qiu looked at her and smiled, and said, "Let's go." The three went up to another floor, Su Wanru supported the wall, her heart was beating in her throat, and what her mother said before she died, every sentence carefully Jumped out, turned a corner and they went up to the eighth floor.

There are many paintings hanging on the eighth floor, but each painting has been soaked in potion for treatment, and the signatures are all covered with mounting paper, so it is impossible to see whose work it is.

Under each painting, there is a cage. Su Wanru stopped in front of a copied bamboo and stone painting with trembling steps. Liu Sanniang and Qiu Zhangshi looked at each other. Qiu Zhangshi said: "This one seems to be from the previous dynasty. A painter copied it, and it really looks like it."

"Yes." Su Wanru smiled, tears filled her eyes as she looked at the painting, because this painting was exactly the same as she had seen before, it was hung in the study of the queen mother, and it was copied by her father.

Father is good at painting, and especially likes to copy Mr. Zheng's bamboo, which is so vivid that it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake.

"You..." Director Qiu suddenly thought of something, "Ajin, you can't be..." Do you want to come to the Moon Tower to pick up this painting?

Could it be made by an old friend of hers?Probably not, even if the paintings hanging here are copied, the copyer must have a prominent status, how could Su Jin know such a person.

Qiu Zhang was puzzled.

"Auntie." Su Wanru looked back at the two of them, she was afraid that the woman downstairs would come up later, "Can I stay here for a while, just for a while, I will go up to find you."

Qiu Zhangshi hesitated to speak, but nodded after thinking about it, and said: "Then Sanniang and I will go up first."

Su Wanru showed gratitude, and watched the two of them go up the stairs, and after they stopped upstairs, she couldn't wait to squat down and look at the painted cage.

The box was locked, she rummaged through her purse and quickly took out a key from the interlayer, and opened the lock.

Her hand was shaking constantly, and after a lot of effort, she only heard a click, and the lock jumped out, and she opened the box excitedly.

There were scrolls of paintings in the box. She fiddled with it. There was a vermilion brocade box in the corner. She picked it up and opened the box. Inside the box was a bloodstone seal, engraved with the words two words.

Kisaragi!

"Mother's queen!" Su Wanru choked up, tears streaming down her face uncontrollably, she knelt by the cage, feeling like her heart ached.

From the death of the country to the present, she has always felt unreal, like in a dream, sometimes she often thinks, when one day wakes up from the dream, the people she cares about and miss are still there, and she is still in the Song Dynasty There is no law in the palace, the princess who is doted on by her parents and elder brothers.

Until now, holding this small seal, she realized that this dream would not wake up, and all the people she cared about were gone.

Only she and Su Ji are alive, and they are alive in a precarious manner.

"Second brother!" Su Wanru wiped her tears, and put Ru Yueling in her purse in a panic, "Wait for me, give me a little more time, I will definitely rescue you!"

She touched the paintings inside, bit her lip, closed and locked the cage, and put the medicine spoon back, then straightened her clothes, tidied herself up, took a deep breath, and went upstairs.

Chief Qiu and Liu Sanniang had already set up the incense table, when they heard footsteps they looked towards the stairs, Su Wanru smiled at them.

It was obvious that Su Wanru was crying, but the two of them didn't ask any further questions.

On the ninth floor is the top of the pagoda, there are various paintings of Leizu of the seven or eight blessings, and an incense table is placed in the middle, Su Wanru opened a window, the wind blows in from the outside, and the panorama of Yingtian City in the distance comes into view.

"It will definitely look better at night." Liu Sanniang stood behind her and said softly, "Guess, where is that over there?"

Su Wanru tilted her head to look, but she couldn't guess, Liu Sanniang whispered in her ear: "My family used to live there, walking from Jinxiufang, it took a while."

Su Wanru was startled, but Liu Sanniang shook her head and said, "But it's not anymore, and I haven't been there for many years. It must have changed a lot."

"It will come true." Su Wanru looked at her, "We will all get our wishes."

Liu Sanniang nodded.

"Come here and offer incense and kowtow." Chief Qiu handed them the incense, and the two of them offered incense and kowtowed, and the three sat cross-legged on the ground, waiting for the incense stick to burn out...

Aunt Qiu looked at Su Wanru, patted her head, but did not speak.

None of the three spoke, each thinking about their own thoughts.

After a stick of incense was burned, the incense burner was poured out to clear the candles, and they walked down slowly. When they went downstairs, Liu Sanniang also took a look at the painting, her eyes revealing deep thought.

Under the pagoda, the embroiderers in the workshop were still waiting, and the three of them went out before everyone dispersed.

Zhou Huaijuan and Cai Xuan surrounded Su Wanru and asked, "What does it look like inside? I heard that there are many treasures. Is it true?"

"I didn't see the treasure." Su Wanru replied, "Although it is precious, it is not a rare treasure."

The two looked a little disappointed, and walked back happily.

Su Wanru walked a few steps and stopped, and turned to look at the Moon Tower. Two women appeared at the door without making a sound, and closed the door expressionlessly.

She was very curious, these eight people had been guarding here, what if one day they passed away one after another.

What about the Moon Tower?
She didn't go to the Shanshui Pavilion, but couldn't wait to go back to the yard, closed the door, took out the Ruyue Ling, dipped it in ink pad and printed it on the paper, and the two beautiful characters were clearly rubbed on the paper.

Kisaragi!

It was engraved by my father, who likes to engrave seals in his spare time.

She wrapped it carefully in a cloth and put it close to her body. After thinking about it, she put away the "Su Jin" seal together. She sat at the table for a while, then got up and dragged the box out from under the bed. When she opened the box, she immediately stunned.

A dozen or so sheets of paper were thrown inside, some of which were crumpled up and flattened by her, and some of which were thrown in after reading.

It was all letters from Shen Zhan the next day after he went to Yangzhou for a few days.

A very simple letter with a single content.

She took out one by one and threw them on the bed, and then took out the copied books that Zhao Yan had stolen from the palace, wrapped them in cloth and placed them on the bedside.

Apart from these, there were only a few clothes. She quickly packed and tidied it up, pushed the cage in, thought for a while and took out the copper basin and fire folder, staring at the stack of letters on the bed in a daze...

"Ajin, Ajin." Cai Xuan yelled outside the door: "You bought the snacks that your mother bought, go and see them, there are so many delicious ones."

Su Wanru was startled, folded all the letters and stuffed them into her bag, then put the bag back into the box, took out the cloth for Cai Xuan from the end of the bed, opened the door, and said, "I'm just going to find you , come in and I have something to tell you."

"Oh." Cai Xuan entered the door, and Su Wanru pointed to the cloth on the bed and the book wrapped in it, "You keep this cloth, as for the book... you will help me pawn it in a pawn shop in a month, for three years, whatever you want How much money the shopkeeper gives you, as long as he is willing to accept it. You can keep it for me as a pawn ticket or throw it away.”

She has no place to save it, and it is not safe to lose it.

"Okay!" Cai Xuan doubted him, "But why do you insist on a month later, I can help you tomorrow."

Su Wanru didn't explain, "Listen to me, it must be a month later." After explaining a few more words, she took her out, "Let's go to the front to see what snacks we bought." Then said: "The first floor and the second floor are free. Go there, and Sister Qinghong should send some too."

The two of them talked and went to the Shanshui Pavilion.

In Jiangyinhou's mansion, Han Zhengying was listening to her mother-in-law, "I saw her come back with my own eyes. It was early in the morning. It seemed that I had been running all night, and my face was very ugly."

They saw that Su Wanru went to Zhennanhou's Mansion, but they didn't dare to follow her and Qingliu's carriage, so they didn't know exactly where Su Wanru went with Qingliu.

"After going in, she entered the Moon Tower with Chief Qiu at noon, and stayed for an hour before coming out. Now someone bought snacks and came back. The servant girl saw that she bought a lot, and the two women carried them back. "

"Mom." Han Zhengying was thoughtful, "Tell me, will she also go to Zhongdu?"

The mother-in-law was taken aback when she heard this, and murmured: "No way... She is a girl, so she just went out to find a man?"

"The other party is the Marquis of Zhennan, so it's not certain. Naturally, we have to keep an eye on her. Even being a concubine is giving her status." The mother-in-law sneered, thinking of something, "If she really goes to Zhongdu, we The prince should know, or you can ask the prince?"

"Don't ask him." Han Zhengying was almost certain, "Does Zhennan Hou care about her? If he does, why did she go with Qingliu and come back overnight alone? Could something have happened?"

Han Zhengying was thinking wildly, when she saw the housekeeper hurried in and shouted as she walked, "Miss, there is news from Fengyang that something happened."

"What happened." Han Zhengying immediately stood up and asked urgently, "Tell me quickly."

The steward quickly recounted the incident over there: "...the knife was used last night, a few people were killed, and a few people were arrested. Today, it has calmed down a lot. It seems that Zhennanhou is planning to re-establish himself. A leader should come out and suppress the mob."

It is impossible to kill them. To deal with these people, either beat them until they are convinced, or control them from the inside and seize their life.

The fate of these people, of course, is today's meal and tomorrow's meal.

"Where is my brother, how is my brother?" Han Zhengying felt that it was not easy when he heard it, and his heart was pounding, "Who killed that Lao Wu, did they catch him, and let Hou Ye hand over this person? gone."

"I don't know yet. But the eldest son is fine. When the incident happened, he was going out for the emperor's eldest grandson to run an errand, and Guan Zhen was not there. Otherwise..." the steward said, looking scared after a while, "But don't be afraid, there are people over there. Lord Hou is here, as well as the prince, everything will be fine."

Han Zhengying walked back and forth, then stopped to look at the steward, "How about we go to the prefect of Yingtian and ask them to send someone to help?"

"The prefect of Yingtian sent someone to go early this morning, and they must have arrived by now." The steward said, "Miss, don't worry, maybe our son will be blessed by misfortune."

Han Zhengying was taken aback for a moment, and then thought that whether it is the grandson of the emperor or the Marquis of Zhennan, they are all besieged by a group of unscrupulous people because there is no one available, and if Han Jiangyi who was outside at that time could do something appropriately, for example, find If people come to rescue them, or suppress the mob, then no matter who it is, the Marquis or anyone else, he will definitely remember his contribution and help them.

"You're right." Han Zhengying nodded, his eyes showing excitement and anticipation, "My brother is the smartest, he will definitely see the opportunity and find a way to deal with it."

The steward nodded yes, said a few more words and got up to leave. Just as he walked to the side door and was about to go out to inquire again, suddenly a fast horse stopped at the door, and an unfamiliar man slid down from the horse's back, shouting at him. : "I am the bodyguard in charge of the town bodyguard bureau, and I have a letter from your eldest lady."

"I'm the steward of the mansion, trust me." The steward stepped forward, and the bodyguard took out the letter and the contract, and asked him to stamp his private seal, hand over the letter, and leave.

The steward took a look, then quickly turned around and went back to the inner courtyard.

Han Zhengying took the letter and opened it. She knew the handwriting very well, because it was written by Han Jiangyi himself.

She watched, with an expression of disbelief on her face, and murmured: "...Impossible, how is this possible."

The elder brother said that he suspected that the person who killed Lao Wu was Su Jin, and because of this incident, Lord Hou was very angry. If the matter had not been resolved, he must have returned by now.

"How could it be?" Han Zhengying didn't believe it. "She is a woman, how could she do it. Besides, shouldn't she be happy to marry Shen Zhan? Why should she fight against him?"

But there was a faint feeling in his heart that only in this way could he explain why Su Wanru came back alone after dawn.

Han Zhengying couldn't figure it out, but felt that all of this was strange.

"Miss, what did the elder son say?" Seeing Han Zhengying's expression full of worry, the steward received the letter. Han Jiangyi asked her to send someone to watch Su Jin, but she didn't want to tell the steward, so she said: "It's okay, you go about your business."

The steward left as expected, Han Zhengying sat alone for a while, then suddenly got up and called her caring wet nurse over, and gave some instructions in a low voice.

The wet nurse nodded and replied: "Miss, don't worry, this matter will be settled properly."

"En." Han Zhengying said: "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. You must not let my grandmother and elder brother know. When things are done, the imperial decree that Si Sanbao asked for will become a waste decree."

The wet nurse nodded happily, as if she was risking her life, "Your maidservant will go in person."

Then he took people out the door.

As the sky was getting dark, Su Wanru tidied up the embroidery frame, traced the draft again, wrote a few notes, and placed it next to the embroidery frame, before she closed the door and came out.

Standing in the courtyard of the Shanshui Pavilion, she watched it carefully for a while before turning back to her room.

She didn't have anything to bring, only a bag containing a few clothes. She thought for a while and took out the letter inside and put it next to her body, then threw the bag back into the box, turned around and opened the door to go out, and walked to the corner door in the dark.

She will go to Yangzhou first, meet Du Zhou in Yangzhou, and then decide whether to go to Shandong by land or by water.

Du Zhou said that Longwei is in Shandong.

Whether she is here or not, she is going to the capital, and it will not waste time to transfer to Shandong first.

Putting her hand on the door, she stopped and looked back at Jinxiufang, took a deep breath, turned around and was about to leave, when someone behind her called her, "Su Jin."

When she turned around in a daze, she saw Liu Sanniang and Jiao Zhenying walking over, her eyes turned red and she turned her head to quickly wipe away her tears, smiled at them, and said, "What's wrong?"

"This is for you." Liu Sanniang handed her a purse, "The silver that my aunt gave you. There are some that belong to me and Zhenying. You keep it... for flowers on the way."

Su Wanru didn't want it, "I don't need any money, I haven't used up the money my aunt gave me last time." Su Wanru pushed back, looked at them and said, "Say sorry to aunt for me. You too... Take care."

Saying anything is in vain, she doesn't want to add to the sadness.In the future, if others know her identity, it will be a good thing for them that she escaped secretly instead of leaving with great fanfare.

Su Wanru glanced at them, opened the door without looking back, and ran out quickly.

Liu Sanniang and Jiao Zhenying stood at the door, watching her thin figure disappear into the alley...

"She is a girl, no matter what she does, it is too difficult." Jiao Zhenying sighed, "San Niang, do you think we will meet again?"

Liu Sanniang nodded and said: "With her temperament, if she doesn't fulfill her wish, she won't die easily!" Just like her, she persisted in living, just for that breath, if she didn't fulfill her wish, she would not die in peace. !
Su Wanru wiped away her tears, and after crossing the two alleys, her pace slowed down, because not far away, there were rustling footsteps running towards this side.

She stopped and didn't move any more, but looked in the direction of approaching footsteps.

In the blink of an eye, seven or eight strong women turned a corner and appeared in front of her. It was pitch black and there were no lights. Several people were startled when they saw Su Wanru, and then one of them immediately shouted: "Grab her!" !"

　Happy Dragon Boat Festival!
