general lady

It's still the usual carriage, it looks very ordinary on the outside, and the inside is also very ordinary, but this time there is an extra charcoal basin and a ling'er.Leave the small gate, go straight out of the alley, and not far away is the most prosperous street in the capital.

The snow had already been cleaned up, many stalls were set up outside, and the shops on both sides of the street were also open. Su Wan lifted the curtains and looked outside, seeing so many people from the capital for the first time.

"It will be more lively in the coming days." Seeing Su Wan's curious face, Ling'er said with a smile, "The closer the year is to the end, the more people will come to Beijing."

"Ling'er's house is here?" Su Wan asked suddenly.

After tidying up the cushions in the carriage, Ling'er lowered her head and replied, "No, I can't remember where the servant's house is."

In the deed of sale, it was written that Ling'er was sold to Zheng's family when she was about five or six years old, and she has followed Su Wan until now.Sure enough, Zheng Yanfeng would not choose someone who would make people doubtful. Linger, who has no family ties, can just follow Su Wan with peace of mind.

Eyes quickly scanned the shops and vendors outside, Su Wan didn't speak anymore.

Last night I was thinking of going out, and in the morning I asked Song Tusu nervously, but fortunately, he immediately agreed and asked someone to help drive the carriage.The coachman did not follow Daying from the border town, but a family friend Song Qiu met. He looked about 50 or [-] years old, so be honest.

Su Wan felt that the driver must not be as simple as it appeared on the surface, but since Song Tusu didn't say anything, she didn't ask.

Suddenly, the carriage shook and stopped slowly.

Ling'er opened the curtain and looked outside, then retracted after a while and said, "There is an old man who fell to the ground ahead..."

"Let's wait." Su Wan didn't plan to go out and show her face.Originally, when she went out, she thought that she must be more careful, at least before Song Tusu could really show her face, she, General Song's woman, had to follow her footsteps, lest someone would make a fuss about her in the future.

Thinking that she still had a little brain, Su Wan waited for a long time without seeing the carriage move, and finally couldn't help but lift the curtain of the small window of the carriage to look out.

There is also a carriage diagonally opposite, which looks very luxurious, and further ahead is an old man who has fallen to the ground. At this time, there are many people around, but no one comes forward. I can vaguely hear someone say that they are going to see a doctor, and they say The identity of the old man.

The old man's clothes were rusted with flowing cloud patterns, and the pattern of rust on a dark double-breasted gown is actually not suitable. Others may find it a bit strange, but Su Wan subconsciously tightened her sleeves.

"Help me out of the carriage." Su Wan hurriedly sat up.

Hurrying to get out, Ling'er stood by the carriage to help Su Wan.The driver's eyes flickered, but he didn't stop him. He just looked after the carriage while getting as close to Su Wan as possible.

Stepping forward quickly, Su Wan looked down at the old man on the ground.

"The doctor is here, this girl, please get out of the way." Just as Su Wan was about to reach out to check the old man's body, two servants rushed out beside him, leading a doctor with gray hair.

Being pushed aside, Su Wan staggered a little.Ling'er wanted to say something, but Su Wan shook her head slightly at her, stood beside her and watched the doctor feel her pulse, then heaved a sigh of relief and said, "I know that I'm short of breath, the old man prescribes a prescription, one dose will be enough."

The two servants lifted the old man and got into the luxurious carriage. Su Wan saw the old man's fingers tremble suddenly. She rubbed her eyes to make sure she wasn't dazzled.

Back in her carriage, Su Wan asked the driver, "Do you know who that old man is?"

"My surname is Qian, and people call him Old Qiantou. At least [-]% of the grain stores in the capital are owned by him, and he can be said to be the richest in the world." The coachman said slowly, and that's not all. A very favored concubine, but her grade is not high.

The carriage continued to move forward, but Su Wan didn't have the intention to continue watching, so she hurriedly read it and told the driver to go back.

Back in the courtyard, Song Tusu wasn't there, the courtyard next door was making a kang, and I could try to burn it at night, Su Wan sat in front of the charcoal basin, her heart was in a mess.She went to the street just to try her luck, and if there was one with the same pattern as the wooden sign, she stepped forward to try it out, but she didn't expect to meet it directly.

Thinking of the old man's shaking fingers at the end, Su Wan always felt that he must not be really unconscious, otherwise why would the doctor come after she got out of the carriage, and finally shook her fingers deliberately, as if... the old man deliberately led her to get off the carriage.

Just why, Su Wan couldn't figure it out.

Even when she met the chasing guy in Base City last time, she couldn't figure out why no one said anything more to her.

"Dazed again?" Song Tusu didn't know when to enter the door, took out a bag of snacks from his arms and put it on the table, stretched out his hand in front of Su Wan, and said, "How about going out today? En?"

Looking back, seeing Song Tusu's usual appearance, Su Wan smiled and said, "It's nothing, just take a look, it's much better than the camp in the border town."

"Naturally." Song Tusu nodded, "I will enter the palace at night, so you don't have to wait for me."

"Okay." Su Wan nodded.

Climbed to bed as usual, but it was getting colder and colder. In the end, Su Wan could only sit up, get out of bed and fiddle with the charcoal basin, squatting in front of the charcoal basin to slowly warm her body.

When you get used to being alone, when you are alone again, you suddenly can't get used to it.

It's windy outside and it's bitingly cold.

As if she could feel the constantly changing shadows outside, Su Wan wrapped her cloak tightly around her body in fear, looked outside cautiously, and prayed for Song Tusu to come back soon.

She probably... couldn't leave that person.

'Beep beep beep', the sudden knock on the door made Su Wan almost sit on the ground, she stood up quickly, strode towards the door, and opened it without thinking.

It was not Song Tusu outside the door, but someone else.

"Go into the room and tell me!" The visitor looked around cautiously, walked in and quickly closed the door.

There was no light in the room, only the glowing red light in the charcoal basin, which did not allow Su Wan to see the intruder clearly, but it was strange that she did not yell, but listened calmly to the other party.

In the dark, it seemed that he was bending over to salute, but the other party's voice sounded very strange, "I am an old money man, and I deliberately lured Miss Su out to meet you during the day, please forgive me."

"Old money man?" Subconsciously touched the wooden sign hidden next to her body, Su Wan's voice was a little surprised, but more of it was clear that she didn't realize it, "You know me?"

"I don't know." Old Qiantou said, "But I know who Miss Su is. This is my token, you will know after reading it... I shouldn't stay for a long time, see you next time."

In the dark, the old moneyman threw something to Su Wan, and then turned around to open and close the door in one go.

If it wasn't for the fact that there was something extra in her hand, Su Wan thought it was just her hallucination.After groping to find an oil lamp to light, Su Wan saw clearly that the thing in her hand was a letter.

After reading the letter bit by bit, Su Wan's hands trembled violently. She couldn't tell whether she was scared or excited. She just groped for the wooden sign in her palm and sat beside the charcoal basin like this, without sleep all night. .

It was dawn, and Song Tusu still didn't come back, but Su Wan didn't feel sleepy at all.

Ling'er was already up outside, went to the yard next door to bring hot water, and waited for Su Wan to wash up.Su Wan went to the next yard to see how the kang was cooking, and the tofu by the way.

"It's getting too hot." Wang Zeng touched the kang excitedly and said, "The mud was applied on the first day, and it would dry up overnight. I tried to lie on it in the morning, and it was very warm."

"Add a layer of tiles on top of the kang. It can't be heated too fast, or it won't keep warm." Su Wan touched the still warm kang and said, "Go directly to the yard over there to do it."

"Success." Wang Zeng nodded.

Before Song Tusu came back, Su Wan went to Song Qiu's side alone to have breakfast together.

After dinner, Song Chuan'er went out to study, Song Jiu'er was sent out, Song Qiu said solemnly: "Tu Su is left in the palace, I'm afraid something will happen, if you want to leave, you can go now, I won't stop you."

"I'm not leaving." Su Wan said lightly.

Still wanting to say something, Song Qiu opened his mouth, and suddenly covered his mouth and coughed, and stopped talking.

After coming out from Song Qiu, Su Wan went back to Song Tusu's courtyard, and said to Ling'er, "Go to Zheng's house and tell me I have something to do."

"Yes." Ling'er bowed.

When she came to this courtyard again, Su Wan's mood was different again. The first time she was curious, the second time she was calm, the third time she was confident, and this time... She was probably excited.

It doesn't matter that Su Wan will come, Zheng Yanfeng has recovered from his injury and gained a lot of weight.

"I also only found out this morning that the emperor met General Song." Zheng Yanfeng motioned Su Wan to sit down, and said, "I was just staring at the Ning family, forgetting that there is another emperor. I haven't found out the news yet. Gotta wait."

It is probably not a good thing for people to be detained.

Fumbling for the wooden sign in her palm, Su Wan asked, "Have the people from the Ning family who went to fortify the city come back?"

"You can enter Beijing today." Zheng Yanfeng said.

"Are you sure you can kill him?"

"you think?"

As if meeting Su Wan for the first time, Zheng Yanfeng raised his head and looked at her carefully, with obvious puzzlement in his eyes.In the past, Su Wan might come up with some despicable ideas, but she never said such things. Now Su Wan looks a little different.

"The emperor has been reluctant to release Basuotu for a long time, and now he is detaining Song Tusu. It seems that he wants to find an opportunity to release Basuotu." Su Wan's voice was a little cold, and she subconsciously reached out her hand and approached the brazier without noticing it at all. Zheng Yanfeng was even more surprised by his own words.

The sacred meaning is unpredictable. Even in a family like the Zheng family, there are many officials in the court and there are people in the harem. Even so, they can only figure out the general meaning. , she is about crazy.

"I will think of a way, at least General Song won't be in danger of his life." That's all Zheng Yanfeng could say.

Smiling silently, Su Wan stood up and said, "Do you know what happened to the Song family back then?"

"What?" Zheng Yanfeng obviously didn't know.

Before yesterday, Su Wan didn't know, and she didn't want to know.It's just that she now feels that even what Song Tusu wanted to say to herself at first is probably just superficial.

Such a huge house, if it wasn't for the emperor's relatives, what kind of military exploits would it take to be bestowed by the emperor himself.

The original Song family was worthy of its name.

In the letter I got last night, there were many, many things that made Su Wan wonder whether to be happy or sad.
