When Su Yao returned to her room, she did not see Yancao coming out. She was a little surprised for a moment. The Chu family was afraid that they would not entertain her well, so they arranged for a maid to serve. Seeing this, the Chu family's maid smiled and said, "Sister Yancao went out. I heard that someone outside was looking for her, so she asked us to tell you, the county lady."
Yancao had no relatives or friends in Yunnan, so when Su Yao heard that someone outside was looking for her, he knew it was Qingkun. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then went to wash up first.
By the time she came out after washing up, Yan Cao had already returned and brought in some snacks and fruits. The maids in the corridor all laughed mischievously at this. After all, they had been together for so many days and had not caused any trouble for each other, so they had a good relationship.
Yan Cao was both angry and amused by them. She gave all the things to them and came in. Seeing Su Yao also smiling by the window, she called out "girl" with a red face.
Su Yao hummed. She was different from those conservative people. She never thought that they should really follow the rules of blind marriage, and her subordinates didn't need to do that. Seeing that Qing Kun was interested, she smiled and asked Yan Cao, "Did Qing Kun ask you out?"
Yan Cao always told Su Yao everything she wanted to say. Hearing this, she whispered, "Yes, he asked me to go out and said he should buy me something. He asked me if I liked anything. I said, whatever. Anyway, I have to go see my parents first when I return to the capital..."
Speaking of this, Su Yao said to Yan Cao, "I was just about to tell you that I have asked my grandmother for your parents. From now on, your parents will go to the farm and be the heads of the farm. This way, you can all be together in the future, and your brother and sister-in-law will also come back from Taiyuan."
Yan Cao raised her head suddenly. Her indenture was already in Su Yao's hands. Su Yao also said that he would return the indenture to her after she got married, so that she could marry with glory. But unexpectedly, Su Yao even sent her parents and brother and sister-in-law to the farm.
She knew how good this was. Su Yao's farm would be her dowry farm even if Su Yao got married. As the head of the farm, would she still worry about lack of food and clothing in the future? Moreover, she would no longer be a slave who sold herself. She only needed to write a letter of surrender.
With tears in her eyes, she wanted to kneel down to Su Yao.
Su Yao held her tightly and shook his head in annoyance: "Why do you always forget what I told you? Between us, why do you need to kneel down and kneel down?"
Yan Cao pursed her lips and shed tears. When she was first assigned to Su Yao's side, it was like a cold shower being poured over her. With Nanny Sang and Zhenzhu around, and Su Yao being cowardly, she saw that she would be unfavored for the rest of her life. At that time, she only thought that there was no hope for her in this life, and she could only follow this unfavored girl.
Fortunately, she has never been an ambitious person, so even if her parents once said they wanted to find another way out for her, such as working for other girls, she refused.
Because of this decision, she is where she is today.
The girl treated her no differently than a sister.
She thanked Su Yao with tears in her eyes.
Su Yao smiled. She was able to help the people around her change their fate and live a happy life. Even though she was very tired now, she still felt happy from the bottom of her heart.
The next day, Su Yao mentioned this matter to Su Rong: "Brother, do you have any plans for Qingkun in the future?"
She didn't want Qingkun to be her lifelong companion.
Su Rong had already thought about it. Su Yao had discussed this matter with him before, so when the old matter was brought up again, Su Rong said, "Yes, Qingkun has also made a lot of contributions in Yunnan this time. I plan to report him and reward him according to his merits. If nothing unexpected happens, he should be promoted to a centurion, and he won't have to be a servant anymore."
This coincided with Su Yao's idea, and she had no objection, so the matter was settled. Just as she was talking, Xiao Heng also came into the flower hall. After hearing a few words, he knew that they were talking about Qingkun and Yancao. Qingkun was certainly not unfamiliar to him these days, and even Yancao was someone he had seen many times in the capital. Xiao Heng smiled and joked, "It seems that I can also drink at the wedding."
Although he was joking, on the day when Qingkun bought something for Yancao, he also asked Sanjiu to prepare a gift for Yancao.
Yan Cao was extremely surprised and felt that even if she married an official, she would not be able to get such honor.
After feeling happy, Yan Cao couldn't help but look at his own girl again and sighed secretly in his heart - his own girl was so concerned about the safety of His Highness, and it seemed that His Highness was also very good to the girl, and even valued the girl's maid so much. But how come these two people who were so suitable for each other didn't show that kind of intention at all
She felt a little worried, but she didn't dare to say much, for fear that the girl didn't mean that, which would be bad.
She was extremely worried. Su Yao and Xiao Heng had already interrogated General Yang and the others one by one. They had obtained all the necessary information and set off for Kunming.
On the day of departure for Kunming, Chu Yongcheng came running over, very determined to set off with Xiao Heng's now increased guard team of more than 3,000. This was also the idea of Master Chu. What's the point of his son lying at home? It's not easy to get this opportunity. If he can be put to good use, he will have a bright future in the future.
Xiao Heng thought about it and decided to take Chu Yongcheng with him.
Although Chu Yongcheng is a playboy and is of little use, the Chu family's business in Yunnan is doing well and they even have a branch in Kunming. By taking him with us, we can get a more detailed understanding of the situation there.
On the way, they encountered several groups of assassins. Once, the assassins even took over a teahouse. However, the imperial guard team now has a large number of people, and after what happened in Zhaotong, and Wei Desheng is in their hands, these assassinations were very small in scale and did not cause any harm. There were no casualties on their side.
They arrived in Kunming safely. From afar, they could see a large crowd of officials coming to welcome the imperial envoy outside the city of Kunming.
Su Rong sat on the horse and said, "There are so many people."
The runners and officials had all arrived, and in addition, many civilians had also come and were all under the flower shed outside the city gate.
However, the imperial envoys all looked unhappy.
After all, those crowds of people are not holding any flowers or gifts in their hands; they are all excitedly shouting "Get out!"
Tang Yuan was used to being in charge of Guizhou, so he understood the situation as soon as he saw this scene. He whispered, "Among these people, most are natives. The natives don't respect the imperial court. In addition, Your Highness is here to quell the rebellion. In their eyes, His Highness is here to deal with the natives. Therefore, it is not surprising that they would act like this."
