general lady

"Have a taste of the recently brewed tea wine?" Su Wan pointed to the wine glass.

The light blue wine exudes a faint aroma of tea and wine, as well as a hint of sweetness, thick but not greasy.This was Su Wan's whim, and asked Wang Zeng and others in the yard next door to ferment in the warm small kitchen while making tofu. Unexpectedly, it succeeded the first time.

Song Tusu has never been seen drinking, she seems to never drink.

Picking up the wine glass, smelling it, and taking a small sip, Song Tusu smiled and said, "Very good."

"I also think it's good." Su Wan poured herself a glass and sipped it slowly, "Wouldn't it be nice to boil a pot of hot wine when you have nothing to do, and just sit and watch the clouds calm and the wind calm?"

"En." Song Tusu nodded slightly, but looked at the door.

Putting down the glass, Su Wan actually didn't drink much. She felt that she seemed more suitable for drinking tea. No matter how mild the wine was, it still tasted like wine. It was too strong, which made her feel her mouth and stomach were burning.But at this time Su Wan felt that she had to take it out, and the two of them had a drink together.

It was not so good for the two of them to be silent all the time. Su Wan thought a lot in her heart, but when she faced Song Tusu alone, she could only find some excuses.

"These days Zheng Yanfeng sent more and more money, I asked Wang Zeng to send some to the suburbs." Su Wan said calmly, "Winter hunting is coming soon, if... the imperial decree will come soon, right? "

Finally cheered up, Song Tusu raised his head and drank the tea in the cup, saying, "Wait."

The house was finally sorted out, and Su Wan, Song Tusu’s elder brothers, didn’t clean up the courtyard too much, but repaired the dilapidated places a little bit, and the empty garden outside was just so empty, except for Zheng Jiuniang and Zheng Qiniang’s tidying up. The yard and the rest of the huge house are still empty.

Taking out a piece of silver and handing it to Ling'er, Su Wan said, "Go and change it into copper coins and send it to the craftsmen."

"Yes." Ling'er took the money and didn't leave right away, standing where she was hesitant to speak.

"What?" Su Wan asked.

"The craftsman who was sent out before didn't give up, and kept blocking the gate." Ling'er said a little embarrassed, "The porter can't do it three times a day, there is really no way."

Usually stealing and cheating, as long as it is not too much, Su Wan just deducts some wages, and if this happens for a few days, she will no longer be hired and directly kicked out of the house.

These people probably saw that there was no one in the house, only a few of the master showed up, and the servants could even count them. In addition, they occasionally chatted with the servants who used to help when they were working, so they could know the situation.

Feeling that there was no one in the house and it was desolate, he boldly tried to blackmail him.

"Find a few strong ones, tie them up and send them to the Yamen." Su Wan said, "We're not afraid of lawsuits."

"Yes." Ling'er hurriedly responded, bowed her head and stepped back.

In such an uneventful past day, Su Wan once again received a letter and money from Zheng Yanfeng. Apart from the simple accounting, there was also news that Su Wan had been waiting for these days.

Throwing the letter into the charcoal basin, Su Wan opened the box and rummaged through the clothes.

"Ah Wu, you go and ask Ling'er to come over." Su Wan took out a few clothes, looked at them, put them back, and said to Ah Wu who was standing behind her.

Not long after, Ling'er came in, and Huang Li and Cui Liu were standing in the yard outside, they must have learned a lot of rules these days, and they didn't chatter nonsense.

"Get everyone ready." Su Wan said without looking back.

These words have been told in advance, Ling'er understood as soon as she heard it, and hurried out to make arrangements.

Finally able to leave the house casually, Song Tusu often stays in the yard, but she likes to be alone, and others can't always see her.

After coming back from outside, Song Tusu raised his eyebrows when he saw the clothes on the kang when he entered the room, "Here you are?"

"Well, change your clothes." Su Wan nodded.

At about noon, the porter stumbled in and said that the eunuch had arrived.

Immediately, Su Wan and Song Tusu's expressions became straight, and all the servants in the mansion thumped, and Song Qiu's yard had already been prepared, so there was nothing unusual at this time.

A few days ago, Su Wan specially asked Linger to set up rules for the servants, among which the most practiced one was to welcome the imperial decree.

Song Tusu and Song Qiu took the lead and knelt at the front, Su Wan also knelt later, and people knelt down in the back.The eunuch who delivered the decree waited for everyone to get ready, and then read the imperial decree slowly.

Song Tusu stepped forward to receive the order, and Song Qiu took the money given by Su Wan.

Without refusing, the eunuch sent an order to accept the money, turned around and left without saying anything.

There is really no need to say anything.

This time, the candidate for winter hunting, I am afraid that only Song Tusu will convey the imperial decree, and the others will know about it when they went to court.

Kneeling in the palace is well known, and at this time, the decree is passed on with great fanfare. I am afraid that Song Tusu has already become a thorn in the emperor's side and a thorn in his flesh. Maybe Song Tusu is still staying in the mansion, and other interested people will find it strange.

After so many peaceful days, there will finally be waves again.

Su Wan felt a little excited in her heart. From her initial avoidance to the current excitement, it is not so much that she had to change because she knew more and more, but Su Wan probably liked this kind of thing in her heart.

As a woman, Song Tusu can become a general, but she, Su Wan, doesn't have that much skill and ability, so she plays a good game of chess, which is also very good.

"Anyway, you are a general." Su Wan smiled, "It's definitely fine to bring a few people."

"En." Song Tusu was also a little eager to try.

The hunting ground is some distance away from the capital, and one can ride a horse or take a carriage.The emperor naturally had carriages and horses, and he also brought a few concubines, and the ministers probably also brought their family members.

In the very inconspicuous little carriage, Su Wan and Ling'er sat inside, Ah Wu and others followed outside.

Since her appearance, no one has spoken to Song Tusu, and even dared not make eye contact with her.Although they are all generals, others can follow the emperor at close range, except Song Tusu.

Feeling a little depressed, Song Tusu followed the pony carriage, and the horse rattled along.

Taking the iron rod and fiddled with the charcoal basin, Su Wan smiled and said to Ling'er, "Have you been out of the city before?"

"Miss Hui, since she was bought into the Zheng family, the slaves have never left the city." Ling'er said in a low voice.

"When we get to the hunting ground, we will have a chance to take a good look at the scenery outside." Su Wan put down the iron bar, took dried beans and roasted them on top of the charcoal basin, "Take a good look at the difference between the outside and the city."

Did not get out of the carriage until the hunting ground.

After being inspected by the guards, the carriage entered the hunting ground, and many tents had already been set up.Song Tusu stood not far away, Su Wan walked over quickly, looked at the endless hunting ground, and asked, "Is it a bit like a grassland?"

Not knowing what she was thinking, Song Tusu didn't recover for a while, and Su Wan ignored her and called everyone to set up a small tent.

The top-quality animal skins, and the quilts filled with duck down inside, the tent looks ordinary on the outside, but the inside is clean and tight.Su Wan specially chose a relatively high place to build, and Xiangyang could see the scenery in the distance.

"The emperor didn't summon me." Song Tusu didn't know what to think, and said without beginning or end.

"No rush." ​​Su Wan replied without a word.

After almost everything was arranged, the hunt was about to start. Song Tusu had to be with other officials, but although she was a general, no one talked to her, so she just found a place where she could see Su Wan and stood there.

Standing in the distance with Ah Wu, Su Wan said with a smile: "Look at that deer, I don't know how long it has been hungry, and it can't leave. The emperor will definitely hit it."

"It's true." Su Wan pursed her lips and smiled, and continued to say to Ah Wu, "Look, they are all very happy."

Turning around and seeing Ah Wu looking at herself in confusion, Su Wan tightened the cloak on her body, explaining, "Swords have no eyes, and I don't know whether it is dangerous or safe. Ah Wu, look, Ning Yixiu and Zheng Yan Standing together with Feng, they should all be descendants of aristocratic families. There are also ministers of civil and military affairs over there..."

It was far away, but Su Wan could see where Song Tusu was at a glance.

The clothes on her body were found out by Su Wan herself, and the armor on her head was designed by Su Wan herself. Even though she stood there inconspicuously, to Su Wan, she was more dazzling than anyone else.

Standing far away, Song Tu Subai was bored watching those people perform, shouting long live, she turned her head to look at Su Wan who was smiling and didn't know what she was talking about, and felt inexplicably soft in her heart.

For others, this winter hunt may just be an opportunity to get close to the emperor and make meritorious deeds, but for Song Tusu, Zheng Yanfeng, Ning Yixiu and others, and even for Su Wan, how much is there to expect from it? And hope, I am afraid only they themselves know.

Some people went hunting on horseback, and Song Tusu was among them.

Seeing Song Tusu's figure disappear, Su Wan turned to Ah Wu and said, "Let's go back."

Back in the small tent, the charcoal basin had already been fired, so Su Wan hurried over to warm her cold hands.There is a kang in the house, which is very warm, but no matter how warm it is, once it comes out, it will immediately become icy cold.

"Do you know who owns the surrounding tents?" Su Wan asked Ling'er who came in from the outside.

"I know." Ling'er said and handed over a note, which was naturally not written by her, but Zheng Yanfeng's help.

After glancing at the note, she casually threw it into the charcoal basin, Su Wan nodded to Ling'er, "Go down."

Although the ins and outs of the case that has been stagnant are obvious, but the emperor does not open his mouth, and the people below have the opportunity to continue to operate.Su Wan asked Zheng Yanfeng to help keep an eye on Mrs. Zhang, and as expected, she also entered the hunting ground.

Always waiting, because Su Wan thinks that life in the capital is pretty good. Although she still wants to get revenge, she still doesn't want to give up. The complicated life in Beijing is like watching scenes of different operas.

It's probably like what the storyteller said: The general is so handsome that a woman falls in love with him at first sight, so she doesn't want to leave.

Taking a deep breath and sitting upright, Su Wan fixedly looked at the door of the tent, and said to Ah Wu, "Should the hunting outside come back? In such a cold day, it is definitely not possible to spend the night in the woods."

Already accustomed to Su Wan's inexplicable questions, Ah Wu neither nodded nor shook his head, but just looked at Su Wan intently, waiting for her real instructions.

Outside, some people finally hunted wild boars, deer, etc. and returned triumphantly, and some returned empty-handed, frustrated...
