Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

In response to Zhao Qingning's question, Su Qin said, "The place I'm talking about is not just a place to live, but a place where I can be myself without any constraints."

Zhao Qingning was a little stunned: "Is there such a place?"

Isn't life about following rules and being restrained?

It is impossible for men to live without constraints, let alone women, who are trapped in various rules all their lives. How could there be a place like the one Su Qin described?

Su Qin shook her head slightly: "I don't know, but I want to work hard to create such a place.

Maybe there is not necessarily true freedom in this place, but at least there is no oppression of imperial power, and no female precepts or rules that must be followed.

If there had been no struggle for imperial power, would your mother not have had to marry a man she disliked and would have lived a simple but happy life with the man she loved? And your father would not have worked for Prince Liang without your mother's help and your family's help. Would they not have died then?

My sister and I wouldn't have gotten married in such a hurry if there hadn't been the pressure from the imperial power.

I just don't want to live a life where my destiny is in the hands of others and can be manipulated at any time.

I want to break out of this circle and find a place without class oppression, even if it's a very small place, only the size of a courtyard, as long as I can live without any worries. "

Mentioning her parents, Zhao Qingning fell into pain again. She said with some despair, "But there won't be such a place. Everywhere there is a king or an emperor. The same is true for the Wu Kingdom you mentioned. Even if you successfully provoke their civil war, they will elect a new leader after the war is over. At that time, the cycle will continue and there will be no change.

You will still have your family here, my elder brother, who has always protected you. However, you are unfamiliar with the land of Wu, and as a foreigner, your life will be even more difficult. It is better for you to stay here. After all, as long as you get married, the emperor will no longer miss you. Your elder brother and your father are loyal to the emperor, so the emperor will not do anything to you."

Su Qin: "I understand what you mean. I am not disrupting the Wu Kingdom to help them change their leader, but to get them to give me a piece of land and allow me to live there without interference. It is equivalent to them drawing a piece of land and allowing me to govern myself."

Zhao Qingning was even more surprised: "How is this possible? How can a country allow a piece of land to be allocated to foreigners? This is equivalent to selling out the country."

Su Qin: "You haven't been to Wuguo, so you don't know. They are very big, with endless mountains from south to north. It's not much smaller than ours, but there are very few people there, and they live in concentrated areas, so many places are uninhabited.

It won't have any impact on them if I ask for a piece of land, and I'm not asking for it for nothing. They are very backward, and except for the nobles, the rest of the people are basically illiterate, can't weave or farm. I can go there and teach them various skills, and only use a small piece of land in exchange for a more affluent life, but they will refuse.

Besides, I'm just trying. If I don't succeed, it won't be a big loss for me. At least I've worked hard for my ideal, so my life hasn't been in vain."

It was the first time Zhao Qingning heard the word "ideal", but she understood its meaning and felt a little moved. She had lived in a daze for so long and had never done anything she wanted to do, nor had she worked hard for any reason.

Seeing Su Qin eager to try and her eyes shining, she suddenly felt a little envious. She also wanted to live like Su Qin and work hard for something.

She doesn't have any ideals, but she wants to work hard for Su Qin's ideals, so that her life will not be in vain.

If such a place is built as Su Qin said, then life there will definitely be better than in the nunnery.

Even if she is not successful, it doesn’t matter. At least she has done something different, which can add some color to her life.

Thinking of this, she nodded to Su Qin: "Okay, I'll do it."

Su Qin expected that she would agree. At her age in modern times, she is a junior high school student, and junior high school students are full of drive, dreams, and awkwardness.

As long as they think something is meaningful, they will work hard.

Next, Su Qin told Zhao Qingning in detail what to do when they arrived in Wu Country. She also called Xu Feng to introduce them to each other and told them how to cooperate.

I was so busy until the day of her wedding.

She was woken up early in the morning to dress up. There were not enough servants in the mansion, so they asked people from outside to help her with her dressing up.

The Su Mansion was particularly lively today. Many officials came, most of whom were familiar with Su Jijing. There were also Jinshi from the same year as Xu Chunshan, and many private soldiers who trained with Wang Er in Chanzhou.

The entire Su Mansion was filled with people. Since Zhao Liangchen had no parents, he had no parents to worship, and Wang Er was unwilling to move out, so they all held the wedding ceremony at the Su Mansion. However, they still used a sedan chair. After Wang Er picked up the bride, he carried the sedan chair for a walk on the street, and then returned to the Su Mansion to hold the wedding ceremony.

Zhao Liangchen and Su Qin only got into the sedan chair and went home with Zhao Liangchen after they had finished their wedding ceremony.

Only Xu Yunguo was taken to Wuning Marquis's mansion by Qi Lusheng for marriage.

The entire wedding process was organized by people from the Ministry of Rites. It looked grand but not quite in accordance with the rules. It was even a mess because there were so many people. Madam Su and Madam Xu were so busy that they were dizzy.

There were some mistakes, and Su Qin and Su Jin almost got into the wrong sedan chair.

The Minister of Rites looked at the messy Su Mansion and nodded with satisfaction, thinking that he could now complete his task.

Such a grand ceremony gave them dignity, but as a newly appointed Minister of Rites with little experience, it was normal for me to make some mistakes.

Su Jin was carried into Zhao Liangchen's house and taken to the bridal chamber. Her veil was lifted and all the ceremonies were completed. Zhao Liangchen had to go out to entertain the guests because many of his brothers from the imperial guards came to congratulate him.

Su Qin didn't just wait there obediently, but asked Aunt Zhang to prepare meals for her. She hadn't eaten properly all day.

While she was eating, she saw a sneaky figure outside the door. Su Qin was startled and filled a bowl of hot soup. She walked to the door quietly, opened the door and was about to splash the soup on the man's face. However, when she saw who the man was, she quickly pulled her hand back and splashed him.

"Ah, so hot!"

Zou Tai exclaimed and hurriedly wiped the soup off his body with his sleeves.

"Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"

"Brother Zou, what are you doing here?"

Zou Tai and Su Qin spoke at the same time, one calling sister-in-law and the other calling brother. The relationship was a bit confusing, but no one noticed.

Su Qin explained first: "I saw someone sneaking around outside and thought it was a thief, so I wanted to take the initiative."

Zou Tai said aggrievedly, "How could I be sneaky? I came to you because I had something to ask you, and just as I was about to knock on the door you splashed me with water.

Besides, this courtyard is full of imperial guards and generals, how could any thief dare to come in?"

Aunt Zhang was at a loss behind Zou Tai as she explained, "The servant who brought Master Zou here said that Master Zhao agreed to let Master Zou come, so I let the Zou family into the yard."

Su Qin knew that Zou Tai wouldn't dare come to the bridal chamber without Zhao Liangchen's permission. Seeing that Zou Tai's front was completely wet, she asked, "Do you want to take off your coat so I can find Liangchen's clothes for you to change into?"

Zou Tai shook his head like a rattle: "No, that won't do. Today is your wedding day. If I change clothes in your yard and others find out, I won't be able to explain myself.

I'm just here to ask you something on behalf of my mother, and I'll leave after I'm done."

Su Qin asked curiously, "What's so urgent that you have to ask today?"
