Chapter three hundred and thirty sixth patriarch token
Yuanfang Teahouse is the largest teahouse in the west city of Beiyuan Prefecture. In a private room, Su Yizhao and Su Wenqing were sitting opposite each other.
"Ahem! This is the Qin family!" Su Wenqing coughed slightly, then pointed to the woman beside him and said to Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao then looked at the woman. The woman was very beautiful and was twenty years old.
Seeing Su Yizhao looking towards her, she couldn't help but purse her lips, and then smiled at Su Yizhao.
Su Yizhao didn't know what Su Wenqing meant? Did he introduce her to him to bring her into the house and treat her as his aunt?
She just nodded towards Qin, and then looked at Su Wenqing again.
"Does grandfather know that father has come to Beiyuan Mansion?"
"Your grandfather doesn't know! After you go back, don't say anything in front of your grandfather."
Su Wenqing felt a little hot, so she opened the folding fan and fanned herself vigorously.
In such weather, Su Wenqing could see stains of sweat on his forehead.
Su Yizhao sneered in his heart, this big radish!
"Don't tell your mother either!" Su Wenqing suddenly said.
Su Yizhao was a little surprised. Just now, she thought Su Wenqing was going to raise the Qin family as her aunt. Why did she say not to tell her mother now? Did she want to keep her outside the house and raise a foreign wife?
She couldn't help but think of Wen Yu. Back then, Wen Yu was hidden in her bones and became Su Wenqing's concubine.
He immediately turned to look at Qin, and saw that her face was pale, but she didn't say much.
Su Yizhao looked worried, but she also knew that this was an elder's private matter and she could not comment too much.
However, she originally thought that Su Wenqing came to Beiyuan Mansion for the iron mine, but she did not expect that Su Wenqing was actually traveling with this woman.
Looking at Su Wenqing suspiciously, Su Yizhao suppressed the doubts in his heart.
"Qin is from Beiyuan Mansion. She is a poor person, and her husband is a good friend of her father. Now it has been two years since her friend died of illness. It is not easy for her to survive alone. Her father can only take care of her on behalf of her friend. In the future, he will find a way to take care of her.
Get settled."
As soon as Su Yizhao picked up the tea bowl, he felt frightened when he heard this.
She looked at Su Wenqing dumbfounded, feeling that this was really ridiculous.
Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the relationship between these two people is very close.
Who would have expected that this woman turned out to be a widow and the first wife of Su Wenqing's friend. You took care of her on her behalf. You should have avoided suspicion, but you got together with her. Are you worthy of your friend?
If that friend knew about it, he would be so angry that he would crawl out of his grave.
Su Yizhao was once again shocked. No wonder he didn't dare to bring Mrs. Qin back to his house. When the old man knew about it, he would definitely not agree!
This is a disgraceful thing to say, not to mention that my friend passed away just two years ago.
Su Yizhao didn't know what to say, so he could only ask: "I wonder when my father will return to the capital? Why didn't he go with his son before?"
Su Wenqing looked a little embarrassed, "I didn't want my family to know about this, but you happened to bump into it today. But as a father, I believe you will keep it secret, right?"
Su Wenqing looked at Su Yizhao eagerly, his attitude was surprisingly good at the moment.
"But before that, no less than two people have seen you in Fucheng. You are leading people around. It's not easy to hide it, right?"
Su Yizhao was very speechless. She made a big show of it and didn't shy away from it at all, but she came to ask her to keep it secret. She didn't want to take the blame!
"Ah? Has anyone seen it? Do your second uncle and the others know about it?" Su Wenqing couldn't help but feel guilty.
"My son doesn't know, father, please wish for yourself!" Su Yizhao glanced at Mrs. Qin, this woman, alas!
Since Su Wenqing didn't come to Beiyuan Mansion for the iron ore matter, he had to think long term.
However, she still had doubts about the purpose of Su Wenqing's trip. Is it really such a coincidence?
"Father, are you going back home today?" Su Yizhao was about to leave, so he asked.
Su Wenqing shook his head, "No one in the house knows that my father has come to Beiyuan Mansion, so don't tell the two old masters. After a few days of travel, my father will meet you on the boat and return to Beijing together!"
Unexpectedly, he didn't even want to go back to his old house. Su Yizhao was speechless and said goodbye.
"Then if I need to see you for anything, how can I contact you?"
Su Wenqing thought for a while, "There are courtyards two miles south of the city. There is a golden osmanthus tree planted in the courtyard, and there is a small jujube tree next to it. If you have anything to do, go there to find me."
Su Yizhao stood up and planned to say goodbye.
"If you have nothing to do, don't go looking for it. It would be bad if others saw it."
Seeing that Su Yizhao was leaving, Su Wenqing shouted again.
The veins on Su Yizhao's forehead twitched. It was supposed to be Su Wenqing who was doing it secretly, but why did she say this as if she was being shady? It was really ridiculous.
After leaving the teahouse and strolling around with his clan brother for half an hour, Su Yizhao lost interest and planned to go back home.
As soon as he entered the mansion, the steward of the front yard told Su Yizhao that there was a letter from the capital.
Su Yizhao guessed that it belonged to the old man. When he took it, he saw that it was indeed the case.
In reply to the letter this time, the old man wrote four pieces of paper in a eloquent manner.
We were just chatting about daily life, and then we talked about the provincial examination.
He said that arrangements had been made in the capital, so Su Yizhao did not have to worry. He also mentioned the fourth prince and the crown prince of Jing'an, saying that the emperor was very concerned about this fraud and had sent an edict to ask the fourth prince to thoroughly investigate the matter.
.
The words in the letter were gentle. If Tao failed to obtain Jieyuan in the end, don't worry about it. The days ahead are long, so just try harder in the future.
This was the first time that Su Yizhao saw the old man being so persuasive to her, and there was comfort in every word.
Finally, we talked about the Beiyuan Mansion Mineral Deposit, and the last two letters were related to this matter.
Through the description of the Beiyuanfu mineral deposits in Su Jinxun's letter, Su Yizhaocai learned that there had been rumors about this matter before.
Six years ago, there were rumors that there were mineral deposits in Beiyuan Prefecture, and at that time the imperial court sent people to explore in the mountains.
However, the ore veins explored at that time were copper mines with very few resources, but they were fully developed in just over three months.
The imperial court did not give up and explored the area near the copper mine. In the end, they found nothing, so they had no choice but to leave.
But this time Fuyan Mountain has rediscovered mineral veins, and everyone actually believes it.
Even the second old man and the others, when they saw the fifth prince running into the mountains, their first guess was the mineral deposits.
Su Yizhao continued to read the following, and when she saw that Su Jinxun's words did not agree with meddling in mineral deposits, she couldn't help but frown.
It turned out that she also felt the same way. If the iron mine was related to other princes, then Su would be an ambitious person in the heart of the emperor.
But now, the Su family has no control over this situation. If they don't intervene, I'm afraid the two old masters and the others won't let it go.
As he continued reading, Su Yizhao discovered that Su Jinxun actually mentioned the Second Old Master and the others.
I have to say that Su Jinxun still understands this second brother.
Knowing that the Second Old Master and the others would not let go of this opportunity and would definitely take risks, they proposed that Su Yizhao take the patriarch's token to a showdown with the Second Old Master and the others.
Huh? Have a showdown with the second old man and the others? And go with the patriarch’s token?
