Chapter 181 Settlement (fourth update)



As they walked along, they saw many prosperous cities. However, when they arrived at the feet of the emperor, they still couldn't help but sigh: The city walls of the capital are so high, so majestic, so magnificent and grand!

The guards guarding the gate were wearing thick armor, holding spears, and looked majestic.

Su Ergou often jumped back and forth between two carriages, and now he was in Su Xiaoxiao's carriage.

He parted the curtain and looked at the huge crowd waiting to enter the city. He was stunned and cried out: "Sister! There are so many people!"

The three little ones also squeezed their little heads against the car window, blinking their big eyes and looking around curiously.

It would be a lie to say it wasn't tiring after traveling for days. Even a tough guy like Old Man Su was almost lying down. Su Ergou also fell ill during the journey. The three little ones were a little thinner, but had no other discomforts.

The three of them watched and grabbed the bottles to drink milk.

Su Xiaoxiao nodded secretly: Well, the milk powder is good, I’ll get some from the pharmacy next time.

Da Hu finished drinking first.

Then he shot a dangerous look at his two younger brothers.

Erhu and Xiaohu quickly threw themselves into Su Xiaoxiao's arms, being wary of their older brother trying to rob them of their milk bottles.

When it was their turn, the carriage was stopped by the guards.

The three coachmen were sent by Su Mo together with the carriage. They were from the capital and showed their travel passes.

The guard said sternly: "Everyone in the carriage, get off!"

Su Xiaoxiao lifted the curtain, gently stretched out her fair wrist, and handed the guard a token that was emitting a cold black light.

The guard seemed to recognize the token of the Zhenbei Marquis's Mansion, and his attitude instantly became respectful: "The carriage needs to be inspected, please forgive me, young lady."

Su Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding and got off the carriage carrying the three little ones.

The triplets were so eye-catching. Not only were they cute and adorable, but they were also sipping milk from small bottles, which made passers-by fall in love with them.

Even the guards who were doing routine inspections couldn't help but take a few more glances at the three little ones.

After checking the carriages and finding nothing suspicious, the guards let the three carriages go.

After entering the capital, Su Ergou never stopped exclaiming.

"Sister! Look! What a tall building!"

“That’s the tower.”

"Ah? Oh."

Xiaohu: "Tower."

Erhu: "A tall tower."

Da Hu: “Not as tall as me.”

“…”

The capital city was so huge that the group entered the city in the morning and settled down in the evening.

The driver made sure that the people had settled down before he went to the marquis's mansion to report.

Su Mo and Qin Yun arrived in the capital yesterday. Su Yuan, Su Qi and others are still on their way back to the capital and it is estimated that they will arrive in another three or two days.

The leading coachman met Su Mo at Tingfengyuan.

"Young Master." He bowed and saluted.

"Have they arrived?" Su Mo asked.

"We're here," said the driver.

"Where are the people?" Su Mo looked towards the empty yard.

The driver said, "They are unwilling to stay at the Marquis's mansion."

Su Mo had anticipated the girl's personality and believed that she would most likely not accept the arrangement to live in the Marquis' Mansion. He was not surprised by this.

"Did you go to Changliu Street?"

There was a small house on Changliu Street that belonged to his name. If she refused to come to the Marquis' Mansion, the coachman would take them to live there.

The driver shook his head again: "No, they went to Lihua Lane."

"The Pear Blossom Alley on Zhuangyuan Street?" Su Mo hesitated for a moment, "Why did they go there?"

Lihua Lane is a rare quiet area in the prosperous area of ​​Beijing. It is connected to noisy streets at the east and west ends, but once you walk in, you feel like you have left the hustle and bustle behind.

Su Xiaoxiao came to a house and raised her hand to gently knock on the closed door.

Crunch——

A slightly hunched servant stuck his head out and looked at Su Xiaoxiao and her group with a strange expression.

Su Xiaoxiao took out a letter and handed it to him.

It was getting dark, and the servant's eyesight seemed not to be very good. He took the letter, closed the courtyard door, inserted the bolt, and went into the house to read the letter under the oil lamp.

When he came over again, he opened the yard door completely and welcomed the person in politely.

"you……"

Su Xiaoxiao looked at him.

He gestured.

He is a mute slave and cannot speak.

Father Su brought the luggage in, looked at the clean and elegant courtyard, and asked, "My daughter, whose house is this?"

"It belongs to Master Huijue." Su Xiaoxiao said.

The last time she visited Master Huijue, Master Huijue gave her a letter before she left, saying that if she changed her mind one day and was willing to go to the capital, she could live in her old house.

The old friend who was ill that Master Huijue mentioned must be the old Marquis of Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.

She had made it clear at the time that she would not go to Beijing for medical consultation.

However, Master Huijue still made this preparation, as if she had expected that she would come to the capital after all.

"By the way, please check on Zhong Shan for me. It's not easy for him to guard a big house by himself..."

These are the original words of Master Huijue.

So Su Xiaoxiao knew his name.

He is actually less than fifty years old, but he looks older.

"Thank you for your help, Uncle Zhong."

When Su Xiaoxiao finished saying this, Zhong Shan's body paused noticeably.

He looked at Su Xiaoxiao blankly, then quickly lowered his head and helped move everyone's luggage in.

This is a two-story courtyard, which is different from the layout of houses in the countryside. Su Ergou took the three little ones around and was very curious.

Su Cheng, Su Ergou, and Fu Langzhong lived in the front row of rooms, while Su Xiaoxiao and Sanxiao only lived in the rooms in the second courtyard.

Zhongshan doesn't live here, he just comes here to clean every day, coming in the morning and leaving in the evening.

After handing the key to Su Xiaoxiao, Zhong Shan went back.

The yard and the house were kept very clean, and the furniture and valuables were ready, so one could move in right away. However, Zhongshan did not cook in the yard, so there was no food in the kitchen.

Fortunately, this is the capital city and there are many shops nearby.

"Dad, let's go buy something for dinner. I'll go buy it. What do you want to eat?"

Su Cheng waved his hand: "No need, let's go together. We have been stuck in the carriage for a whole day, it's time to get out of the carriage and walk."

"Doctor Fu, what about you?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.

Doctor Fu said, "I'll go for a walk too."

Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Ergou and the three kids playing in the yard and asked, "Can you guys still walk?"

Little Tiger patted his chest with both hands and said in a baby voice: "Nine must move! Little Axe Nine must move!"

He was the one who shouted the loudest, and he was also the one who took two steps to "nine" and stretched out his little arms towards Old Man Su.

This time, Erhu chose to be a happy little salted fish with his younger brother.

"Uncle, hug me."

Su Ergou picked up Erhu.

Finally, only the lone brave tiger was left running in front, panting.

Walking south out of the alley, there are many food stalls and restaurants.

Old Man Su is not too picky about food, so it is usually Su Xiaoxiao who decides.

But today, he somehow stopped at an old noodle shop.

He raised his head and stared blankly at the sign on the top of the building whose paint had long since fallen off. In a trance, he had the illusion that he had been there before.
