Master Su San shook his hand and spilled the teacup on the table, but he didn't care about those trivial matters and asked with a trembling tone, "Bachelor said, where is the official tea?"

"It is the official tea that is hidden in the Su Mansion. I can't tell Master Su about the details. Master Su only knows that part of the official tea is hidden in the Su Mansion, and this is why he made great achievements."

Su Zhan still explained seriously. Although he was also a little confused about how Guan Cha got into Su's house if Mr. Su San didn't know about it. It would definitely be impossible without an insider. But he didn't show it. He didn't care about anything that had nothing to do with his errand. Don't want to mess with it.

Until Su Zhan was sent away, Mr. Su San felt that his mind was empty and he was walking lightly. He couldn't remember anything he said to Xueshi Su after that.

No wonder he was promoted by the emperor to become the prefect of Jiangning Prefecture. It turned out to be because of his merit. Although this was indeed a good thing that no one else could ask for, he thought that when he didn't know it, the fate of his whole family was at stake. After walking around the guillotine, he still felt scared and broke into a cold sweat.

Unknowingly, Mr. Su San came to his senses when he came to Tinghua Xiaozhu. He had many things to ask Su Ningxin, but he felt he had nothing to say. Thank her? He was so frightened now that he really couldn't tell.

But let him question Su Ningxin. Don't say that he doesn't have the courage. Even if he dares to go, he can't go.

After thinking about it, Mr. Su San decided to go back to the study to calm down, but just as he was about to turn around, he was stopped by the maid at the door of Tinghua Xiaozhu. It was Shuangbai. He had been with her for a month on the way back to Xingyuan from the capital.

"Master, please stay here. The girl asked the servant to wait here. I have a few words to convey to the master."

"What are you talking about?" Mr. Su San waited for Shuangbai's answer.

"The girl said that she has always been thorough in everything she does. If she dares to let the Su family take huge risks, she naturally has the ability to protect the Su family."

Listening to Shuangbai's words, Mr. Su San breathed a sigh of relief. The stagnation that Su Zhan had felt since he finished speaking immediately dissipated. Although I don't know how true or false these words were, they really helped Mr. Su San relax. Heart disease.

Seeing Mr. Su San's expression softening, Shuangbai continued,

"Just now, the third lady sent word to the backyard that the master's promotion is a happy event. He wants to invite the old lady from the nunnery back home to celebrate together. The girl thought that since it is a family celebration, she will bring Zhuangzi's Aunt Mo back, and the family will be reunited alone. Without Aunt Mo, Miss Ten will feel uncomfortable."

"I will send someone to pick her up so that your girl can rest in peace. If she doesn't want to leave the yard, I will order people in the backyard not to disturb Ning'er's purity."

Although Mr. Su San's tone was normal, his good attitude was very obvious. Su Ningxin had gone through such a huge matter without telling everyone in the Su family. It was impossible without anyone's help. It seemed that she was still helping the emperor. It would be easier for her to do her job without people in the backyard to distract her.

This matter was brought up by Mr. Su San on the spur of the moment. Su Ningxin did not explain it. Shuangbai thought about it for a while and then agreed. He just felt that the girl had been talking about hunting since yesterday. It is estimated that the interest will last for a long time, so that the people in the backyard will If the woman stays away, the girl will not be distracted from dealing with them.

That night, Su Ningxin read her travel notes and saw an important place, so she went to bed late. She vaguely heard some movement in Huilan Courtyard next door. She opened the window and listened carefully, thinking that someone must have come to transport official tea.

After listening for a while, Su Ningxin put down the window and went to sleep.

In the next few days, it rained heavily. When it finally cleared up, Su Ningxin couldn't wait to take Shuangbai out to the Chamber of Commerce. The harness Su Ningxin ordered had been delivered, and Uncle Qin also selected it from the horse dealer. Several horses were placed in the Chamber of Commerce stables waiting for Su Ningxin to choose.

Su Ningxin looked around and found no particularly outstanding horses. After all, Daqi horses had to be exchanged with Xixia. There were very few horses circulating in the market. The horses were all sent to the tribute palace or in the hands of ministers from aristocratic families. , very few can be purchased.

In the end, Su Ningxin chose a maroon horse. She had a soft spot for maroon horses when she saw Brother Monkey when she was a child.

Su Ningxin and Shuangbai each rode on horseback to find a remote mountain field. The food and blankets hanging immediately indicated that they had no intention of turning back today, but decided to stay in the mountains for a few days before going back.

Before this season, hunters nearby would go up to the mountains to hunt in exchange for food for the winter. If Su Ningxin rode a horse and hunted in a nearby mountain farm, the wild beasts on the mountain might be frightened away, making the hunters unable to hunt their prey. Moreover, the hunters released Bear traps may also hurt horses, so Su Ningxin deliberately found a deserted mountain farm to hunt.

"Shuangbai, when was the last time you hunted?" Su Ningxin rode leisurely, holding a sprig of foxtail in her hand.

Shuangbai thought for a while, "It was before the girl entered the palace. While the fifth master was out on business, the fifth prince and concubine at that time and now the queen sneaked out to hunt with the girl, taking their slaves with them. Later, they went out to hunt together. No more."

Su Ningxin smiled, it was really like that. The emperor canceled the autumn hunting in the first year after he ascended the throne. In fact, the emperor had not fully mastered the dragon guard and was afraid that he would be assassinated accidentally.

The next year, when we first arrived at the autumn hunting camp, first the girl from the Taifu family broke her leg, then the young minister from Honglu Temple was injured by a stray arrow, and then a tiger actually appeared in the hunting ground where the beasts had been expelled.

Although the autumn hunt was not canceled for the sake of face, everyone rarely went out of the camp. They only roasted and ate the meat brought by the palace, which was a bit of an autumn hunt atmosphere.

This year will be the third year of autumn hunting. I have already left the palace, and it is estimated that the autumn hunting in the capital will begin soon.

Just as she was thinking about it, a white shadow passed by in front of Su Ningxin, instantly bringing her back to her senses.

"Rabbit, rabbit is my favorite thing to eat!" Su Ningxin's eyes were sly. As she spoke, she chased after him. At the same time, she took out an arrow from her quiver and pointed her bow forward.

As the night grew darker, the moonlight cast mottled light and shadow on the woods. By a stream, the master and servant were eating happily around a fire.

"My girl's skills haven't diminished at all!" Shuangbai bit into the rabbit meat that was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and gave Su Ningxin a thumbs up.

"That's natural. With my craftsmanship, even if I open a restaurant, I can still get a lot of customers." Su Ningxin didn't know how to be modest at all, and raised her head proudly to boast.

Just as she was talking, Su Ningxin suddenly looked at the dark woods beside her with vigilant eyes. It was so dark that she couldn't see anything.

"What's wrong?" Shuangbai asked in confusion. He followed Su Ningxin's line of sight and found nothing.

Su Ningxin shook her head, "It's nothing, enjoy yours." Then she gave Shuangbai another rabbit leg.

But Su Ningxin couldn't help but look over there again. She always had the uncomfortable feeling of being stared at. Is it an illusion
