A total of 17 people were changed from death penalty to exile this time, and the two brothers from the Xiao family happened to be among them. The Xiao family had no foundation except that the second master Xiao was an official in the court. Most people who knew about this matter felt that Xiao The brothers are lucky enough, instead of guessing what's at stake.
"Damn! It's about to be beheaded soon, why did the sage suddenly change his mind!" In the small remote courtyard of the Xu family, another white porcelain cup shattered with a bang. As for the person who smashed the teacup, even after smashing three or four teacups in a row, he still felt displeased and sat down on the couch angrily.
As soon as Xu Zhitong came in, he saw the beauty's anger, and his expression became a little strange for a moment, and his brows frowned slightly, as if he despised his wife. When Grandma Bai blinked and looked back, she found that the uncle's expression was still as indifferent as in the past, only thinking that Fang was her dazzling eyes. Also, it was precisely because the girl was in love with the uncle that she broke the engagement with the Xiao family, and she surrendered her status to marry the Xu family. How could the uncle dislike the girl? With this thought in mind, Mammy Bai quietly retreated, leaving the small interior space for the young couple.
"Who made the lady unhappy, wait for my husband to teach me a lesson or two?" Mammy Bai stood guard outside, and when she heard the uncle coaxing the girl softly, the girl didn't seem to be angry anymore. Mammy Bai couldn't help but reveal a gratifying smile on the corner of her mouth, she just said it! How could the uncle despise the girl
***
North of the capital, ten miles long pavilion.
Today is the day when the prisoners who were exiled to the northern border set off. Yu, Zhao and the others also prepared clothes, shoes, socks, food and other items early, and they also sewed some pieces of silver on the inside of each piece of clothing for emergencies.
In order to leave some time for the two couples to say goodbye, Youjin sent the autumn equinox to the clerk who led the team with fifty taels of silver, and said some good words to let him take care of the two elders a little more.
The little official flipped his purse and showed a satisfied smile: "Don't worry, you can be human, and we will naturally come to work." Bringing exiles is the hardest thing, although some family members will also give some money to honor them. Two, but like this family, there are not many people who make dozens of taels of silver when they make a shot. He is a principled person. Since people give these silver coins to eliminate disasters, he will naturally do it.
The two brothers Xiao Hairu carried their heavy burdens on their backs and followed the exiled team slowly and slowly northward, turning their heads three steps at a time, until they bypassed a small mountain in the north and could not see Yu and the others. Back to the ground and followed the group on the unknown path of exile.
"Ling Zun Lingtang's life is safe now, can Young Master Xiao rest assured?" Outside the ten-mile long pavilion, two men in masks stood in a dense forest. Yu's and the others who went there, one of the men in Tsing Yi raised his voice slightly, and asked: "There are two people in the military service leading the team who belong to the prince, and they will also protect the two Mr. Xiao."
Speaking of their lords, the man in Tsing Yi looked very proud, straightened his waist slightly, and said, "Our lord is just one word, and he promised Xiao Gongzi that he would keep the two lords, and naturally he can do it. Don't you know, Young Master Xiao, our prince has devised a strategy, he..."
"Your Majesty is so kind and virtuous, Xiao Xun will remember it for five years, and will swear allegiance to the lord in the future." And who was the other Xiao Linyu, who was wearing black and died of a sudden illness more than a month ago
He opened his mouth lightly to interrupt the man's chattering praises. The eyes under the mask looked through the shadows of the trees, and followed the girl in the goose-yellow fairy dress, as if addicted to it. The girl on the side glanced at the place where she was hiding with an unintentional look, and then retracted her gaze in a panic. Although the other party could not see him, he seemed guilty of being a thief.
Young Jin in the long pavilion sensitively noticed that someone was staring at him, but when he looked in that direction, only the green pine trees all over the mountains swayed in the autumn wind. scorching eyes.
Watching her mother and others leave, Xiao Linyu breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go back."
The two brothers Xiao Hairu were exiled, and the Xiao family had nothing to miss in the capital. It was also very reassuring that the business of the Su family tea was handled by the shopkeeper Wu. A group of six including Youjin, Yu, and Zhao returned to Luohe Prefecture.
This time, it was still the waterway, but against the wind and the water, it was much slower than the last time. It was not until the early morning of the third day of October, before the waterway froze, that he finally returned to Luohe Prefecture.
Almost two months after You Jin left, everything in the Su family was fine. There was Mr. Huang outside, and Mrs. Song, who had been in charge of the Xiao family for most of his life, was at home. more organized.
"No wonder I used to hear people say that there is a treasure in the family, but now it seems that I really have a treasure!" Young Jin smiled and sat next to the Song family and talked to her.
Song also received an urgent letter from the young gold trustee, knowing that the children and grandchildren had been saved. It was also Young Jin's idea to hide the news of the sudden death of the old lady Xiao Linyu. Now that the old lady is old, if she knew that her eldest grandson was gone, she would be too sad. For the sake of the old lady's body, Yu and Zhao agreed. .
Sure enough, Mrs. Song, who was kept in the dark, knew the good news. Now her spirits are getting better and better, and she is not putting on airs. Not only is she in love with Mrs. Su, she is also very close to the little girls of the Su family. , as if they were born as a family.
"What I know is that you went to the capital, but what I don't know is that you fell into the honey pot and soaked it for two months before you were so sweet!" Seeing the children coming back, Mrs Song was naturally very happy in her heart, laughing. He had to take You Jin and others to talk for a while, the old man went back to the room and rested because he was not mentally strong. Yu, Zhao and others also went back to their rooms, leaving space for the people who had been separated for nearly two months. Everyone in the Su family reunited well.
"Eldest sister missed the birthdays of me, Youbao and Xiaoqi. What should the eldest sister say?" Xiaozhu, who was sitting next to Youjin, stretched out her hands and looked at Youjin eagerly. The other sisters couldn't help but laugh. You Bao and Xiao Qi also greeted them and stretched out their hands to ask for gifts: "That's right, the eldest sister missed our birthday, but she can't even have a birthday gift!"
"Okay, okay, everything!" You Jin smiled and patted the hands of the three sisters, and then hugged Xiaoqi: "Xiaoqi is heavier again! It's still taller, isn't it? It seems that Xiao Qi is very good when the elder sister is not at home, right?"
"Yeah!" Xiao Qi was hugged by the eldest sister, nodded vigorously and replied: "Xiao Qi is very good, she reads and writes with the fourth sister every day, and she has a full meal every meal!" She is six years old this year. , because of the good care of her in the past few years, her little face is now round and round, and her big watery eyes are like two clear springs embedded in a small face as white as jade porcelain. She is really a cute little baby with jade snow.
"Xiao Qi is so good!" Young Jin took out a jade pendant carved in the shape of a white rabbit from nowhere, like a conjurer, and hung it on Xiao Qi's neck, saying, "See if this little rabbit likes it?"
"I like it!" Xiao Qi lowered her head and looked at the white rabbit jade pendant in her hand the size of half her palm. She liked it very much. She belongs to a rabbit. The elder sister gave her such a beautiful rabbit. Of course she was overjoyed.
Not only Xiao Qi, but all the little girls in the Su family got a gift, and they were all overjoyed. You Jin took the box from Qiu's breakup and handed it to Su Kang: "Can't Kang Er see what the eldest sister has prepared for you?"
Su Kang looked at the overjoyed sisters with a look of disgust, and replied with a straight face: "I am a manly man, and I don't need these things." The master said that these beads and jade are for women. He's a dignified man, how can he use it
Young Jin was amused by the old pedantic appearance of his younger brother, so he tapped his little head slightly and said, "Why don't you look at what the elder sister brought you? The elder sister has brought you thousands of miles from Beijing. Did Kang Er actually despise me for the gift that came back?"
Su Kang glanced at the heartbroken appearance of the eldest sister, and then looked at the gifts in the hands of the sisters, which seemed to be very beautiful. I'll take it when I get back, thank you eldest sister."
After speaking, he resisted the urge in his heart, deliberately slowed down the movement in his hand and opened the box, and then looked up at the elder sister in surprise: "Thank you elder sister!" , exactly what he had wanted for a long time.
You Jin touched his little head and nodded with satisfaction, but he was thinking that he still had to talk to Mr. Chen, Kang Er was only four years old, and the way he acted just now was too old-fashioned. , I became a little old man at the age of four, so what can I do after that
When the eldest girl came back, the Su family was busy for another day. It was not until after dinner that the Su family found time to talk to her daughter.
"You Jin, do you think it's too simple for your mother to think like this?" Su shi briefly explained her thoughts to You Jin, her jade face was slightly red, and she looked at her daughter eagerly, waiting for her to bring it to her. idea.
Young Jin didn't expect Su's to have the idea of opening a restaurant by himself. Although Su's idea has not yet been formed, as long as she is willing to try to change, Young Jin thinks this is a good start, and looks at Su. Shi, nodded seriously and said: "Mother don't think so much, as long as she has this idea, we can give it a try. After all, she is the fourth generation descendant of the former imperial chef!"
"You child! Mother only knows some fur, how dare you say that it is passed down from person to person!" Su Shi was panicked by her daughter's words, but knowing that her daughter supported her, Su Shi felt both ashamed and joyful in her heart, laughing. Angrily glanced at her daughter: "I see that even Youbao is busy with your third aunt every day. I'm the only idler at home, and I'm really panicking in my heart."
You Jin never knew that Su was thinking like this. After listening to her, You Jin realized that she was a little too careless about Su, and moved her seat to sit next to Su, with her small head leaning against her. On Su Shi's shoulder, she whispered: "Where is the mother doing nothing? Aren't we all raised by the mother? Isn't the mother in charge of all the chores in the family?"
Hearing her daughter's affirmation of herself, a gentle smile appeared on the corners of Su's lips: "Fortunately, my mother still has you." Fortunately, there is this sensible and capable eldest daughter. At home, where is there such a free life now? Whenever Su shi thought of this, she couldn't help but thank God for giving her such care and giving her so many good daughters who were obedient and sensible.
