Gu Beiheng dreamed that his family, on their way to exile, encountered a once-in-a-century flood. They found themselves in a dilapidated mountain temple, where they accused each other of fighting for a clean, rain-proof spot.
It was that day.
Dabao got caught in the rain, developed a fever and caught a cold.
However, he had no idea what happened next, only that the greedy and selfish faces of everyone in the dream were fully exposed.
Su Qi was unsure of Gu Beiheng's attitude and coughed softly.
"You, you don't believe it? I'm also worried about my two sons. As a father, don't you consider your children?" Su Qi stared at him with a pair of big watery eyes.
There was a sense of grievance in his voice, as if golden beans were about to be scattered on the ground again.
Gu Beiheng pressed his eyebrows and looked up at Su Qi with red eyes.
"It's not that I don't believe it. I also did what you said about the land temple encountering heavy rain, and then a mountain torrent broke out." Gu Beiheng's eyes were grim. The key point now was to make preparations early.
"In your dream, when did the emperor issue the imperial decree to confiscate your property?"
"Tomorrow night."
Su Qi didn't expect that Gu Beiheng actually had such a dream.
It seemed that she didn't need to waste any more words, as the lines she had prepared would not be used.
Gu Beiheng thought about the strange look that flashed across the emperor's eyes when he handed over the tiger talisman. He couldn't help but sneer: It's really like cooking the running dog and hiding the good bow.
"Qiqi, where did you dream we would be exiled to?"
Gu Beiheng spoke in a normal tone.
Usually those who were exiled were sent to the Northwest Frontier.
but……
"Mengjiazhuang in Yun County, Jinyang Prefecture in the southwest." Su Qi felt a sense of loneliness from this man.
"If I knew this in advance, could I change my exile?"
Gu Beiheng shook his head. "No. The emperor had long been planning to kill us, but since the general's mansion had no intention of rebellion, he spared our lives to silence the public.
Even if I stay in the capital, I will be at the mercy of others. It is better to find another way out."
Su Qi nodded in appreciation, life is everywhere.
Rather than living in fear under the feet of the emperor, it is better to go to Jinyang Prefecture, where the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and live a life of wealth and leisure.
"What are your plans?"
Su Qi felt a little touched when she saw that he was not just sad.
"Let a few of my trusted followers go to Jinyang Prefecture first to buy land and set up businesses." Gu Beiheng felt a pang of pain in his heart and was disappointed with the current emperor.
But he knew that the people who followed him had to survive. He couldn't afford to feel sad or complain at this moment.
The military generals' destinations must also be planned. How could anything happen to those who followed him through thick and thin?
"Qiqi, are you following my lieutenants?" Gu Beiheng asked carefully.
Su Qi touched the handle of the chair. Her nose felt sore, and she said in a hoarse voice, "He risked death for his advice in the court. To silence the gossip, the emperor sentenced him to immediate execution."
The heads of the soldiers who fought for their country were hung at the city gate.
No one dared to plead anymore.
Gu Beiheng slammed his right hand down on the table, and it collapsed instantly. He couldn't imagine that someone who survived the battlefield would eventually die at the hands of the emperor they served.
but……
This time, their sacrifice will not be in vain.
"I'll go find Lieutenant General Li and the others this afternoon to explain some things." Gu Beiheng hid the bloodshot in his eyes. "Find two reliable maids and follow Ying Yi and the others to Jinyang Prefecture."
Su Qi thought about it for a moment, thinking of the confidant in her original memory. Unfortunately, the book did not provide a detailed description of the maid.
They said that hundreds of servants and maids were all sent to the government office to be sold. "Okay. I'll send Xiang He and Bai Zhi, and return their indentures to them."
"Okay." Gu Beiheng took out a box and handed it to Su Qi. "There are gold and silver leaves in here. Find a way to sew them into your clothes, shoes, and socks. Remember not to sew them into expensive clothes."
Su Qi blinked a few times. This is a good idea.
"Okay. Let's do as you say."
The two exchanged a few more words before Gu Beiheng left to explain things to his lieutenants.
Su Qi took the box and went out, calling Xiang He and Bai Zhi to the west room, and asked them to sew silver leaves into Da Bao and Er Bao's clothes.
She and Gu Beiheng also had gold leaves sewn into their underwear and shoes.
Bai Zhi was a girl with some skills. She looked at the Qingfeng Courtyard's posture and felt suspicious. After listening to Su Qi's instructions, she couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"Second Young Master's wife, why do we look like we're fleeing?"
Xiang He was so scared that her finger was poked by a needle, and she scolded coldly:
"Bai Zhi. The Second Young Master's wife has doted on you, making you look more and more like a deputy young lady. You even dare to say such outrageous words.
You should be punished with a stick and have your troublesome tongue cut off."
Bai Zhi realized she was wrong and slapped herself. "Bah, look at my mouth. The Second Young Master's wife must have her own intentions. I'm just talking nonsense because I'm out of my mind."
Su Qi took out the gold and silver leaves from the box and compared them carefully.
He looked up and glanced:
"Bai Zhi is right. Something is going to happen in our mansion. You two will follow the Second Young Master's shadow guard to Jinyang Mansion early tomorrow morning.
Remember to buy some property there. I have two thousand taels of silver here, remember to buy some farms and houses in the village."
Su Qiyun looked calm and composed, and it didn't look like anything was going to happen in the mansion.
The two maids didn't know what to say for a moment.
Logically speaking.
If something really happens, they cannot leave their master.
Isn't that betraying the Lord?
"Second Young Master's Madam, please let Chunhe and the others go over. I will be here to serve you." Xianghe put down the needlework in her hands, knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Bai Zhi was stunned.
Did her bad words come true?
He was so frightened that his face turned pale. He quickly knelt beside Xianghe and kowtowed, saying:
"This servant is also willing to follow the Second Young Master's wife."
Su Qi stood up and walked over, helping the two of them up with one hand each.
With a cold face, he said earnestly:
"Baizhi, Xianghe. You two have been with me since childhood. At a time like this, I can only trust you.
Besides, do you think you can still stay with me if something happens in the mansion?
They were immediately apprehended and sent to the government office. At that time, they would be killed or sold. How could they have a choice?
It would be better for us to take the money and go to Jinyang Prefecture to buy some property. When we get there, we will have to rely on your property to survive."
Xianghe and Baizhi looked at each other, their hands beginning to tremble.
Didn’t the second young master win a battle and quell the disputes in the northwest and neighboring countries?
Why didn't he get promoted or get rich, but instead his property was confiscated and he was exiled?
This is too ridiculous, even the storybook wouldn't dare to write it like this.
"I will listen to the Second Young Master's wife. But what about the two young masters?" Bai Zhi and Xiang He knelt down again, knowing that if what Su Qi said was true, it would be more appropriate for them to go to Jinyang Mansion.
Just two young masters?
Su Qi's eyes darkened. "Dabao and Erbao are the masters, they must stay in the capital."
This time.
She will protect the two of them well for her original self.
Bai Zhi and Xiang He wiped away their tears and said, "Second Young Master, I will do more needlework before I leave. I'm afraid the silk clothes can no longer be worn. The fine cotton clothes are only underwear. I will make some coarse cotton clothes."
Su Qi nodded. "Go ahead, don't show your fear in front of others."
At night.
Su Qi coaxed Dabao and Erbao to sleep. From tonight on, the two little guys would sleep with her, each wearing thick clothes to sleep.
There were also two ordinary thick cloaks placed next to him, and Su Qi himself was fully armed.
Seeing that it was quiet outside, I changed into night clothes.
Go out through the back door and climb over the wall.
When I was an apprentice of Chinese medicine, I followed my master around to collect herbs and got used to climbing up and down like a monkey.
He quietly climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard of the Duke of Ru's Mansion next door. It took him a quarter of an hour to find the warehouse of the Duke's Mansion.
It's not difficult to find a warehouse.
After all, the layouts of the houses of the wealthy families in the capital are similar, and the difficulty lies in avoiding the patrolling guards.
With the master key in hand, no matter how powerful the lock is, it will be useless.
Su Qi slipped into the large warehouse of the Duke of Ru's Mansion.
As soon as you enter.
Su Qi almost drowned in her own drool.
There is a row of boxes against the corner.
Open two at random.
The golden light almost blinded her money-loving eyes.
There are gold ingots inside.
A box of gold bars is worth ten thousand taels.
There are twenty boxes of gold here.
Hold your hand to suppress your excited heartbeat and take a deep breath.
Tell yourself not to be so naive.
Haven't owned it yet, haven't seen it yet? Actually, I haven't seen it either.
There were also thirty boxes of silver lined up in a row, each box also containing ten thousand taels.
This is what it means to get rich overnight.
Fortunately, the mobile phone cases I bought in my previous life always made me rich overnight.
It really happened.
Su Qi ran over and touched it, and all the gold and silver boxes on the ground entered the space.
"Since you have falsely accused the General's Mansion, I have no choice but to charge you some interest." Su Qi smiled sinisterly. The expression on Duke Ru's face when he saw the warehouse become empty emerged in her mind.
I couldn't help but burst into laughter.
