Chapter 135 Chapter 135 After Li Dalang woke up, where was he not...
After Li Dalang woke up, he knew that he had been beaten by someone hired by the Su family. After he recovered from his injuries, he wanted to go find trouble with the Su family. However, as soon as he arrived in the county town, someone followed him. A closer look showed that they were the thugs who beat him that day. Li Dalang was immediately scared and hurried back. This happened several times, and Li Dalang didn't dare to report to the police. Moreover, during this period of time, he also found out that the bailiffs in the county government often went to the Su family's restaurant to eat, and that the Su family had a relationship with the county magistrate. After learning this, Li Dalang dared not act rashly.
That day he no longer wanted to go to the county government office to file a complaint, but went directly to Su Ji Restaurant, found Su Hong and said he wanted to have a good talk with Su Hong. This time he did not ask for a high price, but only said that if he gave him 100 taels, he would give Li Dabao to Su Hong. However, 100 taels was naturally impossible. Finally, after bargaining for 30 taels of silver, Li Dalang was willing to cooperate in registering Li Dabao's household registration with the Su family.
After everything was done, Su Hong was obviously very happy. Seeing that she was so happy, Su Li didn't say anything else. After all, Li Dabao was still the eldest sister's son. Moreover, he had taken a bath and changed into clean clothes. His eyebrows and eyes were quite similar to the eldest sister. Based on this point, as long as he behaved himself, the restaurant would not lack him for a meal. However, after observing these few days, Li Dabao did not do anything except eating more.
Little did people know that Li Dabao had been like a mouse in a rice jar these days, and had no time to do anything else. He was either eating or on his way to eat all day. You should know that if his grandparents had not given him something to eat in the past few years, he would have been almost starved to death by his father, let alone meat. Sometimes he couldn't even eat slop, and he was beaten. Even if his grandparents tried to stop him, they would still beat him. As a result, Li Dabao's chubby body gradually became thinner and thinner. He was almost 9 years old, but his height was not much different from when he was 5 years old. So it didn't matter if he ate more, and Su Li thought it was normal.
The days passed one by one. Li Dabao, no, it should be called Su Xun, except for his eccentric personality, he ate more in the food store every day, just like an ordinary child. Su Li let down her guard after hearing from her elder sister that he ate more in the food store every day.
As autumn turned to winter, the business of restaurants and food stores remained very stable. Good news came from the north. Song Ling and his servant had actually found Su Li's father and brother, and asked someone to bring back a letter and a large package. Chen and Mrs. Wu were overjoyed and opened the letter immediately. The letter said that Su's father and three other brothers were doing well in the north and asked them not to worry. The letter also said that Su's father was now a sergeant, and that Su's second and third brothers were sergeants. It also said that if all went well, they would be back around the beginning of the new year.
This was really good news, and it immediately relieved the heavy stone that had been weighing on Old Man Su and Mrs. Wu's hearts.
Over the years, the two had not slept well. Even when they dreamed, they dreamed of their son and grandson dying on the battlefield, which made them even more worried. However, this worry could finally be put aside. For the first time, their faces relaxed and there were some smiles on their faces.
"That's good, that's good." Old Man Su said with a smile, and Mrs. Wu nodded.
"Yes, that's great." Chen also had tears in her eyes. She held the letter in her hand and read it over and over again.
In addition to this letter, Song Ling also sent a separate letter to Su Li. The content of the letter was similar, and it described in more detail how he found Su Li's father and brother. In addition, there was an extra sentence at the end of the letter, "The new year is approaching. I wish my wife all the best and all the wishes come true."
Su Li looked at the words and seemed to hear the man's voice as gentle as jade. Then she looked at the things the other party sent. Almost all of them were some spices and seeds for cooking that Su Li had mentioned by chance and were hard to buy. It was estimated that they would cost several hundred taels of silver. Su Li didn't feel comfortable accepting these things. However, these things were indeed what Su Li wanted very much, so she was a little confused about what to do. Or maybe her eldest sister asked her to send some things that were hard to buy in the north.
Su Li suddenly realized it, so she thought about it, made some food, and bought some things that could only be bought here and gave them to the big man who had delivered the things before.
The big man looked at the pile of things Su Li was carrying and the bundles carried by Mrs. Wu and Chen, and his mouth twitched.
Su Li was embarrassed, "Is it too much?"
The big man didn't say anything, but he took the things away in the end. At the same time, there was also some food that Su Li prepared for the big man.
Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Wen Mansion, Mrs. Lin, who had originally prepared a lot of things, looked quite annoyed after learning that the man who had delivered the things had left. "If I had known, I would have sent it over earlier."
But there was nothing she could do about it. Everyone had left, so she could only give up.
"By the way, you said Uncle Meng also sent a lot of things to the young lady of the Su family?" Lin suddenly remembered this. She seemed to have heard these words when she received the things sent by Uncle Meng that day?
"Yes, ma'am, I heard it was some spices." The old woman replied.
When Lin heard this, something flashed through his mind, but he quickly lost track of it, so he said, "Oh."
But soon she thought again, that's not right, would Uncle Meng be the kind of person who would give things to a young lady?
Why doesn't she look like him?
You have to know that Uncle Meng has never treated other women like this before. It was okay when he was young, but he was still like that when he was older and talking about marriage. Every time he saw a young lady, he always had a sour face, as if she owed him eight thousand taels of silver. Not only that, when the young ladies gave him gifts, he would just throw them away, making many young ladies cry. Let alone giving them gifts, he would be lucky if he could just say a few words to them.
Although he has become calmer now, Lin always feels that something is wrong.
In an instant, Lin sensed something unusual and asked, "Did Uncle Meng give anything else to Miss Su?"
"There is another letter." The old woman replied.
Letter? Lin felt even more that their relationship was unusual. She could no longer sit still and immediately asked, "What's Miss Su's reaction?"
"I didn't see any reaction."
"oh."
It seems that Uncle Meng is too enthusiastic. Lin smiled. The maid next to her saw this and asked, "Madam, what's wrong?"
Lin shook her head and said nothing more, "Please invite Miss Su to any banquets or other events in the future."
"yes."
Having said that, after Su Li handed the things to the big man who delivered the letter, the big man left the county and rode his horse at full speed with his companions to the north. Just one day before New Year's Eve, he delivered all the things to Song Ling. In the tent where the prisoners were interrogated, "Sir." The big man knelt on the ground with an ugly look on his face. He had just seen with his own eyes that the man in front of him casually cut off the tongue of the tied man, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.
"Thank you for your hard work. Have all the things been delivered?" Song Ling said softly while wiping the blood off his hands, as if he was not the one who did those things just now.
The big man swallowed and nodded, "It's delivered."
"Um."
Then Song Ling stopped talking. The big man seemed to suddenly remember something and told her about the Wen family and the Su family in detail. After hearing that Su Li had written a letter to him, Song Ling's face showed some reaction.
"You did a great job."
The big man couldn't help but feel happy when he heard this. You know, the man in front of him is the prince's most trusted aide and the eldest son's teacher. Even if there is no reward, it is worth it to hear his words. He immediately kowtowed to thank him, and then retreated wisely.
In the tent, Shu Jiu became restless when he heard that Su Li had sent food. He wanted to go and see what delicious food Su Li had brought. Song Ling did not stop him and let him pack up.
He went back to his tent to take a shower, change his clothes, and then went to see the things Su Li brought. The first thing he opened was the letter Su Li wrote to him. As he expected, the letter contained some words of thanks and some wishes for a happy new year, and nothing else. However, Song Ling still read it several times, and his brows relaxed a lot.
Prince Ji noticed this change and couldn't help but wonder, "I heard that Madam Su wrote you a letter?"
Song Ling agreed, and Prince Ji couldn't help but become curious. Who on earth was this Madam Su? She could make his military advisor, who had always been more cold-blooded than anyone else, become like this. It was a pity that he couldn't meet her for the time being, otherwise he would definitely have to see who she was.
"By the way, Madam Su's father and brother are also in the military camp?" Prince Ji suddenly remembered this. Although he could not see Madam Su, it would be almost the same to meet her father and brother. Isn't it said that a girl resembles her father?
When Song Ling heard this, he knew what the other party was planning, but he still replied, "Yes."
Prince Ji's eyes rolled, and not long after Song Ling left, he found an excuse to call the Su father and son to the tent. In addition to him, there were several generals who heard about this and came to join in the fun. The border was bitterly cold, and it was not always possible to see such interesting things.
However, when everyone saw the father and son of the Su family, they were completely stunned. These black charcoal guys who were as thin as bamboo poles were the father and brother of the young lady?
Prince Ji was also somewhat disappointed. If Miss Su's father and brother were like this, then Miss Su...? !
He didn't dare to think too much about it, as his eyes would hurt if he did, so he quickly sent the Su father and son away.
"Ahem, you're still quite energetic."
"yes…"
"That's right..."
The rest of the people followed suit, and some of them were jealous of Song Ling's favor from the master, but they had no good way to deal with it, so they couldn't help but smile maliciously.
Before long, rumors spread in the military camp that Song Ling liked the dark-skinned girl, attracting many generals in the north who had dark-skinned family members to want to introduce their daughters/sisters/elders to Song Ling.
Only the Su family father and son were immersed in the joy of their mother and sister sending gifts and being summoned by Prince Ji. They had no idea what was happening outside. "It's the mushroom sauce made by the fifth sister!"
Su Qingshan couldn't help but say in surprise as he took out the small clay pot from his bag. God knows what kind of life he had been leading in the past few years. Every time he ate, he regretted eating the mushroom sauce too quickly on the road, so that he had nothing to eat later. Now he can finally eat it again.
"What is this?!" Su Qinghe took out something wrapped in oil paper from his bundle and opened it. He saw pieces of reddish-brown stuff that exuded an alluring meaty aroma. He couldn't help but pick up a piece and put it in his mouth to take a bite. "It's meat!"
It smells so good! It’s actually meat.
He had forgotten when he had eaten meat. Ever since all the people in their garrison were incorporated into the camp soldiers and targeted by villains a few years ago, they hadn't eaten meat again. It was so delicious! Su Qinghe ate while asking his father to eat too.
