The Moon is Full in the Traveling House
Chapter 46 Farewell
Three days later, Su Lun's wound had almost healed under the careful care of the General's Mansion. Two days ago, he wrote a letter to the General's Mansion to send to his brother Su Zheng, asking them to send someone to bring Su Zheng to the capital. But Su Lun didn't know how his brother would react after receiving the letter, and whether he would be willing to come to the capital.
"Captain Su, are you there?"
Just as Su Lun was thinking, he seemed to hear someone calling him. Sure enough, he turned around and saw Xiao An Ning leading her maid Xiao Tao.
"Miss Xiao Er." Su Lun quickly stood up and saluted.
"I thought you were not here. I called you several times but you didn't respond." Xiao An Ning pouted and complained.
"I'm sorry, Miss Second. I was thinking about something just now and didn't notice it." Su Lun was a little embarrassed.
"It's okay. Have your injuries improved? It must be boring to stay at home all day. How about going out for a walk?" Xiao An Ning asked with a smile on her face.
"That's not a good idea. I'm afraid it's not peaceful outside these days. How about a few days?" Su Lun declined. Although he was also curious about the capital and wanted to go out for a walk, he had no money at the moment. If he had to let the girl pay for him when he went out, it would be a bit inappropriate.
When Xiao An Ning heard this, she pouted and said, "My parents said the same thing. Alas, my sister has to prepare for her wedding and Anzhi has to go to school. There is no one to play with me. It's so boring." The girl looked dissatisfied and complaining.
"How about I tell the second young lady a few jokes?" Seeing the girl so listless, Su Lun felt a little bit reluctant.
"Okay, okay, please tell me quickly." Upon hearing this, Xiao An Ning sat down immediately, holding her chin with both hands, blinking her big eyes and looking at Su Lun expectantly.
Su Lun looked at the lovely girl, and his heart was moved. His face turned slightly red. He coughed lightly and said, "A fat man jumped down from the city wall. Guess what happened?"
"What's the matter?" Xiao An Ning asked in confusion.
"He just turned into a fat guy..." Su Lun laughed out loud before he finished speaking.
"Hahaha...are there any more? Tell me a few more."
"A toad lost his appetite and even stopped catching mosquitoes to eat. The other toads wanted to know what had happened to him. The oldest toad said, 'Catch a swan and keep it safe. The toads want to eat swan meat.'"
"Haha, is there anything else..." Xiao An Ning laughed happily.
"There was a baby wolf. It didn't eat meat when it was born, but only vegetables. Its parents were very worried. Then one day they saw the baby wolf chasing a rabbit. The parents were very relieved. Then the baby wolf caught the rabbit and said: Hand over the carrot!"
"Haha, I want to listen more..." Xiao An Ning acted coquettishly.
"Do you know what the son of the wind is called?"
"what is it call?"
"madman!"
"Hahaha...this is really funny. How did you come up with this idea?" Xiao Anning was curious.
"I just heard and saw it by accident. I'm glad that the second young lady is happy." Su Lun smiled heartily. It can't be said that it is a common joke in modern times.
"Second Miss, Captain Su, someone has come from the palace and is in the front hall. He said that the Captain's mansion has been renovated and they are here to deliver the keys and the house deeds and land deeds. Madam, please ask Captain Su to come over..." While the two were chatting and laughing, a servant from the general's mansion came to report.
Xiao Anning was excited when she heard this. She stood up impatiently and walked towards the front hall. Su Lun followed her closely.
After a while, they arrived at the front hall. Two men dressed in palace costumes and two men dressed as guards were standing there quietly waiting. Since General Xiao was busy with military affairs and was not in the mansion, Mrs. Xiao and Miss Xiao Anya were in charge of reception in the front hall.
"Hello, Madam. Hello, Miss." Su Lun bowed politely as soon as he arrived at the front hall.
Xiao Anning beside her also stepped forward to greet her, "Mom, sister."
When Xiao Anning and Su Lun appeared in the front hall together, Madam Xiao frowned slightly, but soon regained her smile and said enthusiastically, "Captain Su is here. Eunuch Ma has been waiting here for a long time. Come over quickly."
When Su Lun heard what Mrs. Xiao said, he quickly bowed to Eunuch Ma and greeted him, "Hello, Eunuch Ma." His tone was very humble and polite, showing his respect for Eunuch Ma.
Eunuch Ma had a bright smile on his face: "I have heard that Captain Su is handsome and elegant, and now I see that he is indeed worthy of his reputation! I am the eunuch chief of the Eastern Palace. I have come here on the orders of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to give Captain Su some small gifts. You see, this imperial mansion has been renovated now, and I have also brought the house deed, the land deed and the keys. And these two people, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is worried that Captain Su will be unfamiliar with the capital and will have many inconveniences, so he specially sent these two to follow the captain and help him familiarize himself with the affairs of the capital as soon as possible. As for those gold, silver and other items, someone will deliver them to the captain's mansion later, please take a look at them, Captain Su." After Eunuch Ma finished speaking respectfully, he handed an exquisite box to Su Lun.
"Thank you for the generous reward, Your Highness the Crown Prince, and thank you, Eunuch Ma, for coming all the way here." Su Lun thanked the other party humbly and politely.
"Oh, Captain Su, you are so polite! I am only following the orders of my master. How can I deserve your gratitude? Madam Xiao, the eldest lady, the second lady, and Captain Su, if there is nothing else you need to tell me, I will leave first." Eunuch Ma responded humbly.
"Thank you for your help, Eunuch Ma. Please take care." Mrs. Xiao said politely.
Xiao Wu, the general manager of the general's mansion, hurriedly asked someone to bring a bulging purse, handed it to Eunuch Ma, and personally escorted it out of the general's mansion.
"Madam Xiao, Miss Eldest, Miss Second, I'm sorry for bothering you all these days. Su Lun is very grateful for your care. Now that Su Lun has a place to stay, it is really inappropriate to disturb you all here anymore. To avoid the gossip of outsiders, it is better to move out of the general's mansion as soon as possible. Su Lun will say goodbye to the general another day." Su Lun said goodbye a little awkwardly. He had to live in someone else's house before, but if he stayed in the general's mansion now, he would be ignorant of his own good.
Madam Xiao hesitated for a moment and said, "That's fine. You just arrived in the capital and are not familiar with the city yet. Just let me know if you need anything. Butler Xiao, please send some people to follow you and help you with anything you need."
"Yes, ma'am, I will do my best." Butler Xiao said respectfully.
"I can help too. Where is Captain Su's mansion? I also want to take a look." Xiao An Ning said unwillingly.
"An Ning, don't make trouble. Captain Su has moved into a new house and has a lot of things to do. Don't make things worse." As expected, Mrs. Xiao refused.
"Oh, Mom, how could I cause more trouble? I'm going to help! And I'm very familiar with the capital, I'm sure I can be of great help! Just let me go!" Xiao An Ning grabbed her mother's sleeve tightly, shaking her and acting coquettishly, refusing to compromise at all.
"Mom, just let your sister go. Looking at her condition, if you don't let her go, she might really get angry with you." Xiao Anya also persuaded.
Madam Xiao looked at her second daughter helplessly, tapped her forehead gently, and admonished her lovingly: "Remember, don't cause trouble to others, and don't run around everywhere. Did you hear me?"
Xiao An Ning immediately patted her chest and assured with a solemn oath: "Don't worry, Mom! I'm the best and most obedient!" After that, she tugged at Su Lun's sleeve again, a bright smile blooming on her face, and urged: "What are you still standing there for? Hurry up and leave!"
It was not until then that Su Lun came to his senses. He bowed to Mrs. Xiao and the eldest lady and said gratefully: "Thank you, madam and eldest lady, for your concern and care. I will take my leave now." Then, he left with Xiao An Ning, who had been impatient for a long time.
