At night, in the study in the west wing.
Su Li sat at the desk and wrote a letter to Pei Chuer, while Pei Zhao read a book beside him.
After finishing the letter, Su Li saw Pei Zhao was still reading seriously, so she went to pack up the things she had bought this afternoon.
It was not until late at night that he took Pei Zhao back to the east wing to rest.
Coming out of the east wing, Su Li instructed, "Have Zhichang and the other two guard the east wing all night."
The two secret guards sent by the Duke have already come to the mansion, but they have to protect Pei Zhao on a long journey tomorrow, so Su Li asked them to have a good rest for a night to recuperate, and Xiao Mu also did the same.
"yes."
Xiao Ye responded and left.
Su Li went back to the west wing to rest.
She had only slept for a short while last night, but she was already extremely sleepy.
A dreamless night.
The next morning, when Su Li got up, she heard Xiao Ye say that Pei Zhao had gotten up early for morning reading.
"Did anything happen last night?"
Xiao Ye replied: "No, there is no movement."
Su Li thought about it and it made sense. Today was the charity gathering, and Princess Rongfu probably knew that she was on guard against her. In order to avoid any mistakes, she would not easily take action against her again.
"Has Zhao'er had breakfast?"
"I've already eaten."
The eldest son had to get up before dawn to read in the academy, so Cuihong prepared breakfast for him early so that he could eat breakfast before reading.
After breakfast, Su Li asked Xiao Sanzi to move all the things he bought yesterday to the carriage, and then went to the east wing to find Pei Zhao.
Pei Zhao seemed very excited all morning, probably because he was going on a long journey and would be able to see all kinds of new things.
Su Li couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. This soft, sweet and well-behaved girl should have been very clingy, but she didn't expect her heart to be so wild and always wanted to run away.
But she likes it.
"Zhao'er, let's go. Don't let your master wait for you."
"good……"
As soon as the mother and son left the house, the luxurious two-horse carriage of the Duke of Ji's Mansion arrived.
The Duke and his wife got out of the carriage.
Su Li was a little surprised and took Pei Zhao forward to greet them: "Grandfather, Grandmother, why are you here?"
Pei Zhao also politely called out, "Great-grandfather, great-grandmother, are you here to see Song Zhaoer?"
The Duke laughed and said, "Yes, Zhao'er is going on a long journey, and my great-grandfather can't bear to leave you."
Pei Zhao chuckled and said, "Zhao'er will be back soon. When he comes, the first person he will go to see is great-grandfather and great-grandmother!"
The old lady said lovingly, "Good Zhao'er, you are so well behaved, hehe..."
Pei Zhao was puzzled: "Huh? Why don't I see my second uncle?"
Of his two uncles, he still liked his second uncle. He could see that his second uncle also liked him very much. However, his third uncle was very cold to him and only smiled at him with his lips folded. He didn't like him.
The Duke cursed, "Your unreliable second uncle has disappeared this morning and we still can't find him. Forget it, let's just ignore him."
The old lady asked, "Are you ready to set off?"
Su Li nodded: "We need to send Zhao'er to the academy to meet up with Mr. Song first."
"Well, then don't delay. You guys go ahead. My grandfather and I are coming to Song to see Zhao'er off, and then we'll be heading back."
"yes."
After the Duke and his wife boarded the carriage and left, Su Li took Pei Zhao to the academy.
In the carriage, Su Li placed the letter in a box and told Pei Zhao, "Zhao'er, this is a letter for Chu'er. Remember it well."
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll remember it."
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the academy, Mr. Song's carriage was already waiting, and there were two other carriages next to it, which should belong to Mr. Zheng and Su Ci.
Not long after the two got off the carriage, Mr. Song came out.
Su Li greeted him: "Mr. Song."
Mr. Song nodded: "Mrs. Pei."
Pei Zhao called out affectionately, "Master!"
Mr. Song smiled and touched his little head, his eyes full of love.
Then he looked at Su Li: "But did you bring any luggage?"
"Yes."
"Have someone move it to the back car."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Sanzi immediately started moving the luggage.
Mr. Song prepared two carriages, he and Pei Zhao rode in one, and the other was used to carry luggage.
The luggage was not much, but when Xiao Sanzi moved it over, he found that half of the space in the carriage was filled with various books.
I thought to myself, it’s a good thing it’s summer, so clothes don’t need to be that thick and they don’t take up that much space. Otherwise, there really wouldn’t be enough space.
After a while, the luggage was moved and Zheng Yan and Su Ci came out of the academy.
When Su Li looked at Su Ci, who was still dressed in flowing white clothes and looked more elegant and leisurely than before, she was stunned for a moment.
I thought to myself: It would be a pity if such an excellent man who is as good as an immortal never got married in his life.
"Mr. Zheng, Senior Brother."
Senior brother?
Su Li looked at Pei Zhao, and when he was sure that he was calling Su Ci, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
So, Pei Zhao was referring to the relationship between Mr. Song and Mr. Zheng when he was compared to Su Ci?
Come to think of it, after all, Dajin attaches great importance to the master-disciple relationship. Zheng Yan and Song Xianhe are good friends, but he and Song Xianshan are brothers from the same school. Their disciples should naturally call each other brothers.
Thinking of this, Su Li couldn't help but want to laugh.
Su Ci was clearly a childhood sweetheart who grew up with the original owner, but now he and his son are brothers in the same school, and Su Li is inexplicably a generation older than him.
She suppressed a smile and greeted: "Mr. Zheng, Su Ci."
Zheng Yan nodded and smiled, "Mrs. Pei."
Su Ci didn't know why Su Li couldn't help laughing, so he greeted her, "Su Li, long time no see."
Um?
Su Li raised his eyebrows. According to seniority, shouldn't he call her...uh, forget it, it's okay to call her separately.
She smiled and said, "Long time no see."
Zheng Yan said, "It's getting late. Let's go once you're ready."
"Mom," Pei Zhao ran over and hugged Su Li, "I'm leaving."
"Well, go ahead. Listen to your master on the way, have more fun, see more of the scenery along the way, and experience more of the local customs and cultures."
Pei Zhao chuckled and said, "I understand, mother. I'm leaving now."
"Well, get in the car."
Seeing Pei Zhao get in the car, Su Ci said, "Don't worry, I will help take good care of little Pei Zhao."
Su Li said with a joking smile, "Thank you very much, Zhao'er's senior brother."
Su Ci was stunned, his ears instantly turned red, and he said helplessly: "Let's talk about our own things. You and I are still friends of the same generation."
"Oh..." Su Li couldn't help but chuckle, "Well, hurry up and get in the car, we're waiting for you."
"Well, bye then."
"goodbye……"
After Su Ci got on the carriage, a group of four carriages and a dozen horse-riding guards started moving forward.
Su Li stayed there for a while until the carriage and the group of people drove away.
Just as they were about to leave, a horse suddenly came galloping from behind and ran in the direction they were leaving.
"Little Pei Zhao, wait for your uncle, I want to go to Qiongzhou too!"
“…”
This Ji Tingyou, no wonder the Duke said he couldn't see him this morning, it turns out he was planning to secretly leave the capital with Pei Zhao.
Su Li couldn't help but shake his head and laugh, then turned around and got on the carriage back home.
