On the day Luo Jinyan and Su Rui left the capital, everyone from the Luo and Su families sent them all the way outside the city.
Naturally, Luo Junyao and Xie Yan were not absent, and followed everyone out of the city to see them off.
Luo Junyao held Su Rui's hand and was reluctant to let go. Normally, he didn't feel that he had so much to say. When he was about to say goodbye, he realized that he couldn't finish what he wanted to say.
Huaizhou is a long way away, so Luo Jinyan and Su Rui didn't bring much luggage. They just had some daily necessities, and they had to wait until they arrived in Huaizhou to buy anything else.
He brought a lot of people with him. In addition to Luo Jinyan's confidants and personal guards, there were also dowry girls and servants brought by Su Rui from her parents' home. When they arrived in Huaizhou, they still didn't know what was going on. Naturally, it would be more reassuring to have those who were waiting for them who knew everything.
.
"Sister-in-law, you and eldest brother should take care of themselves in the future. Remember to write us back if you have anything to do, and tell us if you have any difficulties." Luo Junyao took Su Rui's hand and looked at the conversation with Mrs. Su not far away.
Luo Jinyan, who was talking to Fu Xieyan and others, warned.
Su Rui chuckled and said: "Don't worry, you have to be careful in Shangyong. The Su family and Ah Xuan will have to work for the prince and Yaoyao Zhaofu."
Luo Junyao nodded repeatedly and said: "Don't worry, Ah Xuan will never be wronged in the Regent's Palace. By the way, Minmin and the others can't come today. These are the gifts they asked me to bring you. I wish you a safe journey." Luo Junyao accepted.
Guo Lanzhen handed the baggage in her hand to Su Rui.
Su Rui took it with a smile and said with a smile: "Thank them for me."
Luo Junyao agreed and said: "You can say goodbye to Mrs. Su and the others. I won't disturb you." Although he didn't want to leave Su Rui, Luo Junyao also knew that the Su family was even more reluctant to leave their daughters and sisters. After saying that, he trotted towards Xie.
Walk in the direction of Yan.
Xie Yan and Su Taifu Luo Yun stood together and talked to Luo Jinyan. Luo Jinxing could only stand and watch his eldest brother speechless.
Luo Jinyan listened respectfully to Taifu Su's instructions and instructions, while Xie Yan and Luo Yun stood aside without interrupting. Taifu Su indeed knew much more about the rules and principles of officialdom than the two of them.
It's a pity that Luo Jinyan and Su Rui had to leave Beijing just after they got married, otherwise Su Taifu would not hesitate to teach his grandson-in-law well.
Seeing that it was getting late, Taifu Su could only stop talking and sighed: "That's it, it's getting late, you should set off. The customs of Huaizhou are very different from those of Shangyong, and the personnel are complicated. Please remember this."
What I said before."
Luo Jinyan raised his hands respectfully and said, "Remember my grandfather's teachings. I don't know when I'll see you again. Please take care of me, grandfather and father."
As a military general, Luo Yun was not originally so sentimental, but this was also the first time that his son had to be so far away from him for a long time and had to be in charge of a political party. He felt a little sad for a while. After holding it in for a long time, he just said, "Everything will happen in Huaizhou."
Be careful and stay safe.”
Luo Jinyan solemnly agreed, and Xie Yan became more succinct and concise, "I would like to express my gratitude to you in southern Xinjiang."
Luo Jinyan nodded without saying anything, and slightly raised his hands to indicate.
"Brother, take care along the way." Luo Junyao and Luo Jinxing were not far behind.
Luo Jinyan smiled, told his younger brother a few words, raised his hand and rubbed his sister's head and said softly: "You should be good in Shangyong, and don't cause trouble for your father and the prince by messing around."
Compared to General Luo, who always thought his daughter was a little darling, Luo Jinyan obviously knew how much his little sister was capable of.
Luo Junyao stuck out his tongue at him and said, "I'm fine. Brother, I'd better think more about you and your sister-in-law. I wish you and your sister-in-law a happy marriage and a son soon."
"..." Mr. Luo still treats his sweetheart with courtesy.
No matter how reluctant you are to leave, there is nothing that can stop you from saying goodbye.
Luo Jinyan and Su Rui said goodbye to everyone one by one and helped Su Rui get on the carriage. Then they got on the horse and bowed their hands to everyone who was seeing them off. "Everyone, please stay and say goodbye."
The not-so-long team slowly headed towards the front of the official road. Luo Jinyan rode beside the carriage. Looking at their leaving figures, Mrs. Su finally couldn't help crying.
Mrs. Su and several female relatives of the Su family quickly supported her and comforted her softly. Although Mrs. Su barely stopped crying, the worry and reluctance in her heart could not be eliminated with just a few words.
How could she not worry about the fact that her daughter, who she had raised since childhood, had to leave her home thousands of miles away to go to the barren mountains and rivers of Huaizhou at such a young age?
In the carriage, Su Rui, who quietly raised the curtains and looked out, could not help but burst into tears.
Seeing her mother crying in her aunt's arms, Su Rui felt even more guilty for her willfulness and cruelty.
If she hadn't acted selfishly, how could her mother be so sad?
Such sadness will not last for a while. Su Rui knows in her heart that as long as she is out for a day, her mother will always worry about her.
"Miss, don't be sad." The girl sitting next to Su Rui whispered: "In the future, my uncle will always return to Beijing to report on his work. Miss, you can also come back with me to visit the old man and his wife."
Su Rui looked at the people getting further and further away from them, slowly lowered the curtain, looked sideways at the girl sitting next to her and said, "It's so hard for you to follow me all the way to Huaizhou."
The girl smiled brightly and said, "Miss, what are you talking about? Wherever you go, miss, my slave will naturally go there too. Miss will be the governor's wife from now on, and slaves can also take advantage of the miss's glory and be majestic and majestic."
Su Rui smiled, knowing in her heart that this girl wanted to make herself happy.
No matter how beautiful the governor's wife is, how can a place like Huaizhou compare to the prosperity and wealth of Shang Yong? She knew that the outside world was different from Yong's when she secretly left the capital a few years ago.
"A Rui?" Luo Jinyan asked softly outside the carriage, "Are you okay?"
Su Rui lifted up the car curtain and said with a smile, "I'm fine, don't worry."
Luo Jinyan glanced at her reddish eyes and said softly: "If Ari gets homesick in the future, we will come back and visit. If you miss your father-in-law and mother-in-law, you can also write to them along the way and tell them about the scenery along the way.
It also reassures them.”
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Su Rui nodded and said: "Okay, I will stay at the inn when I return and I will write a letter home."
It wasn't until the leaving team completely disappeared at the end of the official road that everyone who delivered the message turned back to the city.
Mrs. Su cried a lot and was very sad. Luo Mingxiang was pregnant again, so the female relatives took the carriage back to the city first.
Luo Jinxing and Luo Yun went directly to the Dingguo Army's camp outside the city without returning to the city. Xie Yan accompanied Taifu Su on a carriage, but Luo Junyao was unwilling to ride in the carriage and simply followed on horseback.
It is now approaching the end of March, which is the time of late spring.
Both sides of the official road were already lush and full of vitality. Luo Junyao, dressed in a silver-red spring shirt, galloped back and forth on the side of the official road with a whip and a bright smile, which made people feel that the bright clothes and angry horses were full of vitality.
Taifu Su looked at the figure on the horse and couldn't help but smile and sigh: "If we had known that A Rui would be like this, we should have sent her to the martial arts academy to learn hard, so that her parents and I could rest assured."
Xie Yan's eyes also fell on the man on the horse, and his eyes softened a lot unconsciously, "Don't worry, Grand Tutor, I will be careful in my words and deeds, and I will definitely take good care of Mrs. Luo."
Taifu Su didn't know what Xie Yan was struggling with. He laughed when he saw him, his expression relaxed a lot, and he said with a bit of ridicule: "I never thought that I would have such a fate with the prince."
Taifu Su once served as Xie Yan's teacher, but Xie Yan married Luo Yun's daughter, and Luo Yun's son married his granddaughter. So now Xie Yan needs to call his granddaughter "sister-in-law", so Taifu Su's
The seniority also increased by one generation out of thin air.
Xie Yan glanced at Taifu Su helplessly, shook his head and said nothing.
Taifu Su did not dwell on this issue and quickly said seriously: "What has the prince had to do with Liao Wei recently?"
Xie Yan raised his eyebrows and said, "Why did Taifu say this?"
Taifu Su narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Liao Wei has come to visit twice in the past few days, and he always talked about the prince. I originally thought that he was aspiring to be the prime minister and wanted to ask for my support. Then I looked back and thought about it.
I don’t think it’s right, Liao Wei seems to want to find out some information.”
Xie Yan lowered his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Liao Wei has nothing wrong with him, he just thinks too much."
Taifu Su looked at Xie Yan without saying a word. After all, Liao Wei had been in the court for most of his life, so he would not be so impatient. His Highness the Regent must have given some hints, which made Liao Wei mistakenly think
What did Xie Yan want to do to him?
Liao Wei may not really want to find out any information from him, an old man who has retired. He probably really doesn't know Xie Yan's intentions, so he wants to use him to test whether Xie Yan will make the next move.
Xie Yan avoided the question and asked instead: "What does the Grand Master think of Cao Mian?"
"Cao Mian?" Taifu Su was stunned for a while, then frowned and said, "But what happened in Qingzhou?"
Xie Yan did not hide anything and told Taifu Su about the affairs of Qingzhou Yunhai Academy.
Taifu Su didn't glance at him for a long time. The carriage was quiet for half a quarter of an hour, almost making people think that he was asleep. Then he heard Taifu Su slowly say: "Cao Mian... can become a god or a devil."
, it’s just a thought.”
Xie Yan was startled, frowned and said, "Not long ago, I heard similar comments from others."
Taifu Su was a little surprised, but seemed to have expected it. He sighed and said: "Among those who followed Gaozu to conquer the world, Cao Mian was the youngest. Now Gaozu has passed away long ago, and so have we old men.
He is very old, but he is still in his prime. Those who were willing to follow the Great Ancestor back then, whether they were seeking fame and fortune to survive or to help the world, they were all doing it for something. But we have never figured it out.
Understand what he is for. He is neither fame nor profit, does not love power, does not love money, is not lustful, is not addicted to alcohol, and is not fond of food. Others say that Shang Hou is a saint, which means that Shang Hou has contributed to Qinan. But if we talk about it,
With good character, he is a well-deserved saint."
Xie Yan frowned and said: "I am not at the right time. It seems that Cao Mian has been serving as an official in other places since he can remember?"
Taifu Su nodded and said: "Yes, Cao Mian is only fifty-eight this year. When the country was founded, he was a few years younger than the prince is now. He can be said to have a bright future. At that time, everyone in the civil service was looking forward to it.
Staying in Shangyong, he was the only one who refused Gaozu's title because of his limited merit and young age. He invited himself to be an official. The title of Marquis Wen Ding was still insisted on by Gaozu later. His wife... was not of high birth, so she
With his age, appearance and achievements at that time, it would be easy for him to marry a princess or princess."
Xie Yan said thoughtfully: "It seems that, at least in terms of character, this person is indeed impeccable. If this is the case, why..."
Taifu Su said: "The prince wants to ask why there is such an extreme evaluation?"
Xie Yan nodded, and Taifu Su said: "It's probably because he is so perfect that... even makes people feel a little bit less human. Back then... about the Yao family incident, when the news first came out, I was either angry or angry.
Regret, pity, even gloating about misfortune is still a kind of emotion after all. Does your lord know what Cao Mian said at that time?"
Xie Yan said: "Please give me some advice."
Taifu Su looked through the car window into the distance, as if he had penetrated through the years and seen the distant past.
"At that time...when the news came, I happened to be discussing how to raise relief food and grass for Qinan with Cao Mian, the Duke of Chengguo. At that time, we didn't know that this matter was related to the affairs of Shanghou and Qinan. We thought we were refugees and
Duke Cheng Guo cursed what the enemies of the Yao family had done, and said that he would lead troops to suppress those crazy people. I had met the head of the Yao family several times, and I felt sad in my heart. I was speechless for a long time. Cao Mian, on the other hand, was indifferent.
Saying this... can be regarded as a solution."
"Is this a solution?" Xie Yan frowned and said slowly.
There was a complicated expression on Taifu Su's old face, and he said: "Dong Cheng and I didn't pay attention to what he said at that time. He just said that he thought of a problem that had been bothering him for a long time and blurted out, and asked us what happened?
We just thought that he had just thought about something and didn't hear the guard's report. But the flash of look on his face at that time made me feel a sudden thought, but I didn't have time to think about it. It wasn't until later that I vaguely heard something about
The rumors about the Yao family and the Marquis of Shang always make me feel horrified every time I think of his words and expression at that time. At that time, he was only in his twenties. Later, he left Shangyong and was promoted to an official position. He has not seen anyone in these years.
When I went to the wrong place, I often wondered if I was thinking too much at that time, and later it was inadvertently revealed in my words and deeds, which made him gradually alienate from me. The prince suddenly asked me today, and I also thought about it.
That’s all I can say.”
Xie Yan was silent. If Su Taifu was the only one who felt this way, maybe he was overthinking, but he couldn't overthink both of them, right?
Taifu Su looked at Xie Yan and said: "Your Majesty, you need to be cautious about this matter. Although Cao Mian has been away from Shangyong for many years, he was a hero who followed Gaozu to conquer the world. He had many old friends in the court. Although I had some grudges in my heart back then, I didn't dare to
I say that my opinion of this person is indeed accurate, but there may be some hidden secrets in it. To say the least, no matter what his mind is and what his nature is, as long as he has not really done anything harmful to nature, then no one can accuse him.
"
"Those incidents a few years ago have made people in both the government and the public uneasy. If this matter gets too big and ends with nothing, I'm afraid it will be detrimental to the prince. Please be careful."
Xie Yan nodded sternly and said: "Thank you, Master, for your advice. I have an idea."
Taifu Su sighed and murmured: "It was only thirty years after the founding of the Great Sheng Dynasty, and it was only about ten years after the death of the great ancestor... Fortunately, the prince is still here..."
Xie Yan said: "The Taifu is the Dinghai Shenzhen of Dasheng. If it were not for the support of the Taifu in the court these years, it would be difficult for me to have both."
Taifu Su shook his head and said: "I just hope that I will never see another war start in Dasheng territory in my lifetime."
