Su Qi had no idea what was happening in the capital. Perhaps her presence had caused a butterfly effect that changed things.
Anyway, the father of the prince with whom Gu Jingru will have a love relationship is now fighting a life-and-death battle with other brothers in the capital.
He is very busy trying to seize the throne in one fell swoop.
Gu Jingru also lost her life, so naturally the relationship was broken.
Su Qi has been getting up very late these past two days. Gu Beiheng has been eating meat lately. Isn't it a big deal?
Several people in the Gu family who could write were writing Spring Festival couplets at the gate of the yard.
Gu Beiheng was also painting, and Su Tianze and others were helping him.
People from several nearby villages came to ask for Spring Festival couplets. The Gu family naturally agreed, and the villagers did not come empty-handed.
Take some dried vegetables and go to the river to catch fish.
Otherwise it is the sole of the shoe.
There are embroidered headbands and even handkerchiefs.
The Spring Festival couplets written by rural people are very appropriate to the occasion.
The five domestic animals are thriving, the family is harmonious and everything goes well, etc.
Or just write a few more characters for "Fu".
Su Qi walked out, and her two sons were also writing on the cut red paper.
He holds the pen in a very correct posture and has already written several Chinese characters for "Fu".
Su Qi took a look and found that Dabao's handwriting was better.
Erbao's writing skills are not strong enough, so the result is a little off.
"Dabao, write a word 'Fu' and stick it on your door." Su Qi lamented that her son's handwriting was much better than hers.
Her grip on the pen was still limp.
"Mom, go play first. Don't disturb me while I'm writing. I promised Erniu and the others to give them the word 'Fu'." Dabao frowned and said without turning his head.
Zeng Wuji and Zeng Wuya were grinding ink for Dabao and Erbao respectively.
Niu Xibei held a candy in his hand and stared at Dabao with admiration.
He could only write a few words on the ground.
The writing is the same as the talisman that the villagers put on their doors.
Su Qi didn't expect that she would be disliked by her eldest son.
He stared at Dabao speechlessly, "Huh."
Su Qi snorted, and Dabao quickly put down his pen.
The little fat boy turned around and hugged Su Qi's legs. "Mom, don't be angry. Dabao said the wrong thing."
"You said I disturbed you?"
Dabao smiled and leaned his head on Su Qi's legs, "No, no, this is for mom."
Dabao took out a written word "Fu" and gave it to Su Qi.
How could Su Qi really care about Dabao?
Gu Xiuming's mother came trotting over, carrying a basket in her hand. "Qiqi, come here. I have something to talk to you about."
Su Qi patted Dabao's head and pinched Erbao's ear. "If you write well, I'll make you something delicious later."
"Thank you, Mom." Dabao let go of Su Qi, sat back and continued writing.
Su Qi walked over to Gu Xiuming's mother and asked her with a smile, "Aunt, what's the matter that makes you so anxious?"
"I'm telling you. Gu Beihan is dead."
Su Qi pretended to be ignorant and frowned, "How did he die?"
"He was stabbed in the back. People who heard it said he was dragging a woman into an alley."
Gu Xiuming's mother sighed, "Fang Xiaoya is dead too. She was murdered. I heard that Fang Xiaoya's brother came to the town, intending to avenge his sister's murderer."
Su Qi sneered in his heart.
I haven't thought about my sister for all these days.
Now I want to avenge my sister, but I'm afraid this is just an excuse.
Su Qi didn't say anything.
Listening to Gu Xiuming's mother telling a bunch of gossip.
Su Qi just felt that the world was about to change.
afternoon
Gu Beiheng and Su Qi went to the town and specifically instructed Shen Zhishan to keep the wharf under control.
When Shen Zhishan saw that Gu Beiheng and Su Qi came here specifically to talk about this matter, he became even more cautious.
"Master Gu, Madam. Is there any gossip?"
Su Qi glanced at the boats coming and going at the dock. "There have been a lot of strangers coming here recently. The dock must be a piece of juicy meat that everyone is eyeing."
"Okay. I'll make some arrangements right away."
"Let me discuss it with you." Gu Beiheng stayed.
Su Qi walked out of the house and walked on the dock. There were not many people on the dock in the afternoon.
Su Qi had a veil on her head and no one recognized her.
A large ship docked.
Su Qi noticed that this ship seemed different from other merchant ships. The sailors and people passing by on it exuded a murderous aura.
Someone on the boat noticed Su Qi and saw her staring blankly at the boat.
But seeing that she was wearing a fine cotton jacket and skirt, and had no jewelry on her hands, and that her face was not clearly visible due to the veil, no one paid much attention to it.
Just think of it as a young woman who has never seen the world and takes a few more glances at the boat.
Su Qi walked to the pavilion nearby.
He bought a bamboo tube of tea and whispered to the people in the pavilion, "Tell Zhao Xiaomao and the others to keep a close eye on the people on this ship."
"Madam, I understand." The tea seller took the two copper coins.
A person next to him had a white towel draped over his shoulders and was walking towards the back carrying a wooden bucket.
Su Qi drank tea from a bamboo tube, looking towards the boat from time to time.
Several people got off the boat.
The man in front was fat and had a fierce look on his face. He looked like he could kill someone with just a breath.
Following behind were several followers and maids serving him.
The maid also has martial arts skills, and one of her followers looks a little familiar.
Su Qi had a feeling she'd seen this person somewhere before, but she couldn't quite place where. She didn't dare stay at the dock any longer, fearing someone might target her.
She took a few steps back and went to a small vendor to look around.
The young man raised his eyes and looked at Su Qi carefully again.
Surprised, he exclaimed, "Madam, do you still remember me?"
Su Qi said she didn't remember.
"Who are you?"
"I was selling vegetable seeds here before, and you bought them all. Fortunately, you bought them back so I had money to buy some food to take home." The young man chatted with Su Qi.
“My family survived thanks to my food.”
Su Qi smiled and looked at the items on the stall. There were a few seeds, but she couldn't tell what they were.
"I heard these are the seeds of a body flower, but I don't know what they are. Give them to my wife."
Su Qi took it and naturally wouldn't take his seeds for nothing.
But she was very curious, so she formed a circle like this.
How did the young man recognize her?
"How did you recognize me?" Su Qi was puzzled.
The young man smiled and said, "I've had a photographic memory since I was a child. I can even remember people's shapes and smells very clearly. Everyone has their own unique scent."
The young man knew Su Qi was suspicious, so he lowered his head and whispered:
"Madam, don't doubt it. Look at the people coming over there. The one in the middle is Prince Cheng, the eldest son of the old Prince Rongshan of Jinyang Prefecture. The ones behind him are some of his subordinates, and one is some miracle doctor."
Su Qi's heart moved, "How do you know these people?"
"I'm a sailor all year round, and I often go to Jinyang Prefecture. These people often travel between Jinyang Prefecture and Nanli Kingdom." The young man raised his eyes and smiled, "Madam, this price is very suitable. It really can't be cheaper."
Su Qi caught a glimpse of those people walking towards him.
He smiled knowingly, "Only I would buy something like yours. I didn't expect you to be so stingy that you wouldn't waste a single penny."
Su Qi took out a small silver coin from her purse and placed it on the stall.
The young man wanted to let Su Qi take it away, but when he saw the gazes of those people, he swallowed his words.
Prince Cheng looked over and saw Su Qi holding a paper bag in her delicate hands.
Looking at her figure, her posture is so suitable that it makes people imagine endlessly.
I couldn't help but want to lift the veil over her head to find out.
"Stop." Prince Cheng turned around.
One of the guys selling tea over there was watching this place silently, while the other one hurried to inform Shen Zhishan and the others.
Su Qi pretended not to hear and turned away.
Two people blocked Su Qi's way.
"Our master asked you to stop and has something to tell you." The man who stopped Su Qi had a murderous look on his face.
