Chapter 120: The Zhao Family's Plan
"You keep the jade pendant. Everything I promised you will count for the rest of my life!"
Jiang Yu handed her a piece of cake while speaking. She still remembered his promise to her in the Su family courtyard, and that afternoon, on the country road, Jiang Yu said on the ox cart:
"From now on, I will also be your backer!"
It still echoes clearly in my mind.
It would be a lie for Su Wan to say that she wasn't touched. She just didn't dare to look directly into this guy's eyes. His eyes were too serious and it made her feel uneasy.
Reaching out to take his snack was a sign of accepting what he said.
Jiang Yu finally smiled again. He just didn't want to have anything to do with her anymore.
The two of them ate snacks and drank tea upstairs, looked at the scenery, chatted from time to time, sat opposite each other, and spent the good years in peace.
The next morning, Jiang Yu said goodbye to the Su family and was about to leave, wearing his fang mask, his sword, and a horse, nothing else.
Except for Su Yun who was inconvenienced, everyone in the Su family came out to see him off. Mother Su waved to him reluctantly:
"Ayu, you must come back to visit us often when you are free. Auntie treats you as one of our own family."
She really treated Jiang Yu as her own son. Ever since she knew that his mother had died early, she felt even more sorry for him.
"Okay, it's cold outside, you guys should go back!"
Jiang Yu was riding on a horse, and Jiang Yunhe was still waiting for him outside the city.
He looked at Su Wan alone and said to her:
"Let's go, see you later!"
Su Wan stood under the horse and looked up at him. The wind rustled the tassels on her hairpin. The girl smiled brightly with deep dimples. Although there was no sunshine in the winter, it made people feel warm.
"Goodbye, and have a safe journey!"
Jiang Yu rode out of the city on horseback. Riding a horse was not allowed in the city, so he just controlled the horse and rode away slowly. Everyone watched him from behind until he disappeared in the crowd and around the corner.
Jiang Yunhe's carriage was waiting outside the city. He sat in the carriage waiting bored, thinking that this kid had been delayed for several days.
Jiang Yu found him after leaving the city and laughed at him, saying that he was a master after all, but he didn't ride a horse and just stayed in the carriage.
Jiang Yunhe shrugged indifferently:
"I'm old, not like you young people, and I'm also afraid of the cold."
His carriage was also pulled by two horses. He did not take his BMW with him, but left it to Su Chen, who kept it with Jiang Yu's people in the county. When the time was right, he would have someone give the horse to his good disciple.
A few years ago, he chose this horse and kept it ever since. He treasured it so much that he even reluctantly gave it to his apprentice.
"Come in too. You're still young and you'd better not catch a cold. It will be hard when you get old." With his hands in his pockets, he didn't look like a hero at all. He just looked like an ordinary lazy middle-aged man.
Jiang Yu didn't act pretentiously. He handed the horse to his guard and then got into the carriage.
Jiang Yunhe smiled and said:
"I just like your willingness to listen to advice."
"Uncle He, I'm afraid I'll ride too fast and you won't be able to catch up."
"Hey, you little brat, why are you so disrespectful!" Jiang Yunhe reached out to hit him on the head, but he dodged it.
…
The Su family only stayed in the provincial capital for one more day. The next day, the carriage arranged by Jiang Yu took them back.
The interior was decorated very softly, taking Su Yun's wound into consideration.
Before leaving, Su Yun personally found Manager Luo and told him about the kitchen worker, and asked him to wait for him and not look for anyone else.
Su Wan was just bluffing him before, but Su Yun took it seriously and even went to find Shopkeeper Luo to tell him. Of course Shopkeeper Luo agreed to him, and for the sake of the young master, he had to agree to it.
Su Yun then left with peace of mind. The family returned to the Su family and asked Aunt Chen to feed the chickens and rabbits. When they came back, they happened to meet Aunt Chen.
"Sister-in-law Chen, I'm really sorry to trouble you. You said you would be gone for two days, but you've been gone for so long." Mother Su felt a little embarrassed.
"Hey, what's the trouble? Your family's Mr. Su and our family's Mr. Chen are so nice. Isn't it your duty to help?" Aunt Zhao is a very nice person.
Su's mother gave her twenty cents as a reward for feeding their chickens for a few days. Su Wan also gave her half a bar of hair soap.
Aunt Zhao accepted it. She liked her straightforward and frank nature, without any hesitation. It was better than those who said no but accepted it anyway.
"By the way, during the few days you were away from home, someone came from your boss's academy and said they were looking for Jing. But since you weren't home, I don't know what it was about, so I'll tell you."
When Su Wan heard that the academy was looking for him, he instantly became alert and hurried to see Su Jing's reaction.
Su Jing didn't care much about it, but just said that he would go to the academy tomorrow to see what they wanted to see him about.
How could that be possible? It was obvious that the Zhao family's father and daughter had begun planning to recruit Su Jing, the future Jinshi, as their son-in-law.
"Brother, I'll go with you!" Su Wan immediately interrupted.
"What are you going to do? It's cold, so just stay at home. If you want to buy something, I'll bring it back for you." Su Jing thought Su Wan wanted to buy something, so she said she wanted to go together.
"I want to buy some things for my daughter, but I'm afraid it's inconvenient for you, brother."
She was going anyway. From now on, until Su Jing arrived in Beijing, she would keep a close eye on him and not allow any mistakes to happen.
She made up a little lie, and Su Jing didn't doubt it. It was indeed inconvenient for him to deal with his daughter's things.
"Okay, then you'll go with me tomorrow morning."
After Aunt Zhao left, the Su family settled Su Yun down. Su's mother also planned to go to the county tomorrow to exchange the family's silver into silver notes so that it would be easier to keep. She also had to buy New Year's goods, such as couplets and firecrackers, which had not been purchased yet.
It was a coincidence that Su Wan was just worrying about what to buy for her daughter tomorrow when her period came.
She didn't feel anything and didn't feel any pain. This was mainly due to the fact that the original owner was well taken care of in the Gu family, so she didn't suffer from dysmenorrhea.
Still remember that in modern times, she suffered a lot when she was a child. She lived with her aunt and was always poorly fed and clothed. As a result, after her period came, she was tortured by dysmenorrhea every month.
This feeling was so good that she went to Su's mother to ask for a menstrual pad. Su's mother was very happy to hear that she was having her period.
"Wait, mother will sew you some new menstrual belts. You are not feeling well, so don't go to the county tomorrow. Just rest at home."
How can that be? She still has to look after her elder brother.
Menstrual belts at this time are not very effective, and if the amount is too much, it will stain the pants, so during this period, most women stay at home and do not go out.
"It's okay. We still have cotton at home. Just put some more padding."
She felt at this moment that this thing did not come at a very timely moment, and instead restricted her movements.
