Chapter 246 I heard I was busy

The noodles are authentic oil-splashed noodles, rolled out wide, topped with cucumber shreds, blanched bean sprouts, minced garlic, chili powder, salt and other seasonings, poured with hot oil and mixed before eating...

The fragrant aroma filled the entire yard and lingered for a long time.

When you put it in your mouth, the pepper is fragrant enough but not too spicy. For the hot summer, it is just the right amount of refreshing and appetizing, making you salivate.

The cold-mixed cucumber and black fungus and the braised pig ears were cut into slices and placed on a plate. They were served as side dishes for the oil-splashed noodles and tasted quite good.

Su Yujin was in a good mood because Ai Cao's life-long event was about to be settled. She ate with an open appetite and ate a big bowl of rice.

He Yanxiu was shocked by the news that the Feng family came to the Su family to propose marriage, and then he was happy when he learned that the proposal was to Ai Cao. His emotions fluctuated greatly, so much so that he felt very hungry at this moment. He ate two bowls of oil-splashed noodles before putting down his chopsticks.

"Second Master's appetite is getting better and better." Su Yujin said with a smile.

"Yes." He Yanxiu nodded, "I have been busy with government affairs recently, and my appetite has increased a lot."

"But speaking of government affairs, when I was in the capital, I heard from Lu Shaoqing of the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple that the capital and the surrounding prefectures and counties have not been peaceful recently. There have been many tragic cases of annihilating families. The identity of the perpetrators is unknown, and their movements are unclear. However, all the families targeted by them, young and old, and even other living things in the family, have not been spared. It can be said to be very tragic."

"Although Qinghe County has not heard of such incidents, we can take precautions against them. In addition to the need for County Magistrate Ye to strengthen patrols and ensure safety, the people in the city should also be careful. Don't go to remote places on weekdays, return home early at night, and try not to give those vicious people any chance to take advantage of you."

Although the identities of the two men in black who intended to attack Su Yujin under the cover of night have not been found out yet, the fact that they committed suicide after being stopped by the Kang Shi brothers last time shows that the identity of the mastermind behind the scenes is not ordinary.

Since such a person sent out the first wave of killers, there is a high possibility that he will take action a second time.

Although He Yanxiu had already sent additional personnel to protect Su Yujin's safety together with the Kang Shi brothers, most of the secret guards were men, and it was not advisable to follow too closely in many cases.

Therefore, advising Su Yujin to hang out less outside can also ensure her safety.

Seeing He Yanxiu's serious expression when he spoke, Su Yujin understood the seriousness of the situation and nodded seriously, "I'll make a note of it."

Then he smiled and said, "Thank you for the reminder, Second Master."

"How can you be so polite?" He Yanxiu showed Su Yujin the things he brought when he had some free time. "My mother and cousin miss you very much, but my mother is busy with chores at home and my cousin also has to learn etiquette, so they can't get away. Although they wanted to come and see you, they never had the time. When they learned that I was coming to Qinghe, they asked me to bring the things over."

"This is a pure gold Ruyi that my mother got a few years ago. She said she gave it to you to keep at home for a festive look. My cousin sent me a box of golden melon seeds, which was a reward from the Empress Dowager when she entered the palace a few years ago. She has kept it all along, but I took it out specially this time to give it to you."

"In addition, there are some rare medicinal herbs such as deer antlers and ganoderma. They said you might need them on a daily basis, so they asked me to bring them all here for you."

The table was filled with gift boxes, all the gold items were shining brightly, and the medicinal herbs were even more dazzling, with a wide variety and each one was carefully selected, which showed the seriousness of the person giving the gift at that time.

Lu Wenjing is lively and straightforward, and Mrs. He Lu is gentle and virtuous. Both of them are very good people. Su Yujin originally had a very good impression of the aunt and niece, and now that she sees that they are still thinking about her in their busy schedule, she feels even warmer.

"Thank you, Master Er, for thanking Madam and Miss Lu for me." Su Yujin smiled, "I've made some food and pastries these days, Master Er, please bring them back, as a thank you gift from Madam and Miss Lu."

It seems that the aunt and niece have no resistance to delicious food, so this can be considered as catering to their preferences.

"Okay." He Yanxiu responded with a smile.

Here, Lu Wenjing was in the He family's garden at this time, pulling Lu to the pavilion to watch the flowers in full bloom and butterflies flying in the garden.

"Aunt." Lu Wenjing lay dejectedly on the stone table, her face full of despair. "This summer is long, and I'm stuck at home all day. I'm really going to get sick from being bored."

"Yes, it's really boring to stay at home all day." Lu also nodded, "It's just that the weather is really hot, and there are only these things to visit in the capital. There is really no interesting place to go."

There is nowhere to go in the capital, so what about other places...

Lu Wenjing shuddered and straightened up, "Aunt, why don't we ..."

Go to Qinghe? "Okay!" Lu slapped her thigh and nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "We don't need to take a car, we can ride horses with light luggage, and it will be faster."

In this case, you can just make a round trip on the same day, and if others ask you about it, you can just say that you went for a stroll in the suburban village.

It can be said that no one knows about it.

"Auntie, what you said is absolutely right." Lu Wenjing nodded repeatedly, "Let's set off now without further delay!"

Is he going out now? The maid Lu He beside him hurriedly reminded, "Madam, cousin, I heard from the servant in the outer courtyard that the second young master went out early this morning, and I vaguely heard the word Qinghe. I guess the second young master probably went to Qinghe."

So if they went to Qinghe now, wouldn't they just run into him?

The eyelids of both Lu and Lu Wenjing twitched, and then they waved their hands at the same time.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"Aunt, I suddenly remembered that the weather is very hot today. I'm afraid it would be tiring to ride a horse all the way. It would be better for me to stay at your place to cool off." Lu Wenjing said with a wry smile.

"I think so too." Lu nodded in agreement, "Ask someone to make some ice bowls for us to eat. They are refreshing and delicious, and the best way to cool down. Why do we have to go to Qinghe?"

"Yeah yeah."

Green Lotus, "..."

Everyone says that my niece is Aunt Xiao, and that’s really true.

Even the matter of being afraid of the second young master is exactly the same.

Lu He smiled secretly and ordered someone to make ice bowls for Lu and Lu Wenjing. ——The weather was hot, and Su Yujin also made a lot of cold drinks these two days.

Jasmine flowers and mint leaves are soaked in water using the traditional ice-making method to make jasmine mint ice. Ice cubes purchased are mixed with watermelon juice to make watermelon smoothies. Peaches, watermelons, green oranges, etc. are made into vitamin C ice drinks...

He Yanxiu spent every day reading books and drinking cold drinks in the cool air, and could talk to Su Yujin from time to time. He Yanxiu felt that his life was really comfortable and satisfying.

But soon, this peaceful and quiet time was broken.

The third palace is coming down.

Lu: I heard I'm very busy? 　　Lu Wenjing: Yes, I also heard I'm very busy. I don't have time to go out.

He Yanxiu nodded in agreement: Yes, it is indeed very busy
