The Daily Life of the Daughter of a Minor Official Chapter 243

Chapter 243 Damn this winter

 The next day, Su Ruojin brother and sister went to the Yang family to attend Yang Siniang's engagement party. As soon as they went out, they met the Xue family father and son.

As old neighbors, it was normal to go to a banquet together. Besides, the elders of the Su family were not at home, so Xue Changcheng was in charge.

"Thank you uncle."

Xue Changcheng waved his hands and looked around subconsciously. He always felt that there was a pair of eyes staring at him, but he couldn't show it in front of the children, so they all got on the Su family's carriage together.

Mr. Xue always looked left and right, even when entering the heavily guarded Yang family. Su Ruojin noticed it and thought of the Li Xiuzhu he once said. Uncle Hua had gone to inquire about it, and Zhao Lan probably also looked for it, but they found nothing. , why did Xue Bo see it?

And why does Uncle Xue always look like he is being followed by others? If someone is really following him, why do these people follow him?

Xue Changcheng has been working in the Ministry of Industry, from a sixth-rank chief to a fifth-rank member and a foreign minister. Whether it is the contact with civil defense workers or craftsman skills, he is much more than ordinary people. Could it be that the Liaoxia people want to take him away? ?

Yang Jingzi is now a second-rank official, and there is an endless stream of people coming to congratulate her. Yang Siniang called her best friend to accompany her in the room, but there were too many guests here today, and the two of them didn't say a word when they met. He was called away.

Yang Siniang didn't want to go, so Su Ruojin touched her hand secretly and told her to go socialize and leave her alone. She was dragged away unwillingly to socialize with the princess, county boss and other high-ranking ladies who came.

Why! Su Ruojin sighed secretly, slowly retreated behind the crowd, and sat in a deserted corner.

Soon, the banquet time came, and the Yang family girl came over to invite the guests to come over for the banquet.

The men and women were separated. Xue Changcheng took his son and Su Dalang outside in the courtyard. Su Ruojin sat at a table with a bunch of unknown ladies. She didn't care who was with whom. She should eat and drink alone, so as to fill her stomach.

After eating, the maid took the guests to the lounge.

Su Ruojin found that the female members of the Yang family were so busy that they couldn't touch the floor, and also saw people from Zheng Guogong's mansion, who were probably here to help.

Because they were neighbors, Su Ruojin left relatively late. When he greeted Mrs. Yang, only the direct relatives of the Yang family were left.

"Madam, I'm going back, you're busy."

Mrs. Yang took the little lady's hand and said, "Ajin, come and play often when you have time."

She nodded, "Yes, I will. Auntie, you and A Rong will go to Weizhou when you have time, and I will take you to see the maple forest in the West Mountain."

"Have the maple leaves not fallen yet?"

"not yet."

Mrs. Yang smiled and said, "Then I really want to enjoy the feeling of 'parking, sitting and loving Fenglin at night'."

"Welcome Auntie, I will prepare delicious food for Auntie."

"Okay, then it's settled."

The tired Mrs. Yang's eyes suddenly brightened up, and she seemed to be three to five years younger. She walked the little lady outside the second door with a smile. Even Yang Siniang was happy and confirmed with her mother, "Mom, we are really Go!”

She asked, looking at Su Ruojin's retreating figure.

There were guests to greet. Although the smile on Mrs. Yang's face did not change, Siniang Yang could feel that her mother was forcing a smile with a distressed look on her face. She reached out to hug her mother, but Mrs. Yang calmly pulled her away, " Go back to your room and rest, and you can take care of the rest.”

Yang Siniang pursed her lips and said, "Yeah."

Why is it that as she grows up, everything changes and her family is getting better and better, but she feels increasingly unhappy and depressed?

Xue Changcheng led his son and Su Dalang to wait for Su Ruojin, and they went back together.

Su Ruojin said to Mang Zhong, "Uncle Mang, send Uncle Xue and Brother Wulang home first."

"Okay!"

Xue Changcheng waved his hand quickly, "No... no... Wulang said he wanted to discuss knowledge with An. As for me, I also want to ask A. Jin how to make pancakes more cost-effectively."

Xue Wulang smiled shyly. He had a wedding banquet today. He didn't have to discuss knowledge with An Zhi. Maybe he was quite happy to stay at Su's house for a while.

Su Ruojin didn't quite believe that Uncle Xue asked about Yizi, and glanced thoughtfully at Master Xue several times, who was a little restless. He suppressed his doubts and waited until he returned home, while his brother and Xue Wulang went to the study.

Xue Changcheng asked the young lady to find a secluded place to talk, "Ajin, I told you a few days ago, right? Now I'm suspended and can't go to the Ministry of Industry?"

Su Ruojin nodded: "You told me."

Even at Su's house, with Huaping and Mang Zhong working in the yard, Xue Changcheng still looked uneasy, "Ajin, I went back the day before yesterday. For some reason, I suddenly remembered the barbecue outing a few years ago..."

That time, Uncle Xue clung to Su Yanli very hard that day in order to curry favor with Minister Fan, and finally got the chance to show his face in front of Minister Fan.

Su Ruojin looked at him with a puzzled look, "I remember that day, Uncle Xue was just thinking about how to flatter Mr. Fan, so he probably didn't remember what delicious food I baked?"

Xue Changcheng's face turned red and he smiled guiltily, "I remember, of course I remember."

Su Ruojin snorted.

He quickly said, "I won't talk about this today. I remembered that everyone went to curry favor with Master Fan that day, but Master Yang was nowhere to be seen."

At that time, Mr. Yang was an "upright" supervisory censor. Everyone walked around him. Of course, he would not approach anyone. Everyone fawned over Mr. Fan. Without him, wouldn't it be normal?

Su Ruojin thought about it carefully, "It seems that Mr. Yang didn't go, that time?"

Xue Changcheng shook his head, "I went, I saw it."

"Where?" The place for outing at that time was the green space along the river. There were groves on the edge of the green space. There were rivers, slopes and groves. It was simply an outing resort. Except for the trees in the grove, the rest of the place was unobstructed. I didn't see anything. Mr. Yang!

"The grove."

"When?"

Xue Changcheng said, "At that time, I was anxious, so I went to the woods to solve the problem. I saw Mr. Yang coming out of the woods from a distance. At that time, I subconsciously glanced behind him and noticed a yellow clothes corner. But I didn't care. After solving the problem, I returned to the barbecue place, thinking I would see Mr. Yang, but still no one was there.”

"I heard that Duke Zheng's Mansion and Yang's Mansion both came for an outing at that time. Could it be that they were at these two houses?"

"Maybe!" Xue Changcheng seemed to be reminiscing, "I don't know why, in the past two days, I suddenly remembered that yellow clothes corner, like leopard print."

Leopard print? Su Ruojin's eyes widened in surprise. If it were in modern times, leopard print clothes would not be uncommon, but if it were in ancient times, especially in the capital city of Yinbian, which was mainly based on farming, who would wear leopard print?

There is only one answer. In April, when the cold turns cold, the only ones who can wear leopard print are the nomads in the north.

"Do you think the person who left may be from Liaoxia?"

Xue Changcheng said, "I don't know if that's the case. Anyway, the more I think about it, the more I feel that the clothes are strange. They are not worn by people from Dayin."

"But in April...it can't be cold enough to wear leopard print, right?" Isn't it warm to wear a proper fur?

Xue Changcheng sighed, "I always feel like someone is following me. Now I don't dare to go out casually, just today..." He was embarrassed to say that he was not here to take care of the Su family brothers and sisters as an elder, but wanted to ride on the Su family's carriage. There is also the Su family's girl coachman.

Su Ruojin understood what he said.

This... being watched with suspicion all day long might lead to a mental breakdown!

"Uncle Xue, what do you mean..."

"A...Ajin, could you please ask the little county prince to help find the person who is targeting me? If this doesn't continue like this and I'm not killed, I'll be scared to death myself."

Su Ruojin was caught by bad guys once. Although she was anesthetized and did not wake up during the whole process, she was afraid afterwards. If Zhao Lan hadn't arranged secret guards secretly, she would probably be no better than Uncle Xue.

She nodded, "Okay, I'll ask the little prince first, but if you can help, I..."

"I understand, I understand..." Hearing that the young lady was willing to help him talk to Prince Zhao, his tense heart finally relaxed a little, and then he talked about seeing Li Xiuzhu, "Ajin, I heard that you looked for it, but didn't you find it?" Found it, right?”

"Um."

"It's really strange. It stands to reason that she had such a good time staying at your house, so why would she never come back? The bond of sale is in your house, so no one dares to keep her."

"Perhaps..." Su Ruojin thought of the former Carpenter Zhang, "These people think she got some delicious recipes and pancreatic recipes from my Su family." She didn't dare to talk about firecrackers, and asked Mr. Xue to help at that time. Made some of the parts, but he didn't know it.

It's absolutely possible. Mr. Xue seemed to suddenly think of something, "Ajin, did those people deliberately let me see your girl, and then asked me to tell you to rescue your girl, and then..." arrest you?

Su Ruojin:…

It's really possible.

"No wonder I always feel like there are eyes staring at me. Could it be that they are following me to see if I tell you, to see if you are in a hurry to find someone?"

The target is her? Maybe!

"Sir, do you feel that since the new emperor ascended the throne, four to five out of ten court officials have been replaced?"

"Ah?" Xue Changcheng didn't follow the young lady's thoughts. He was stunned for a long time before asking in confusion, "What does this have to do with you?"

"Didn't you notice that Mr. Yang promoted many new people?"

Master Xue certainly knew, "Damn it, these people are either scholars from the southern barbarian land or martial arts practitioners from the north. They have almost wiped out all our Central Plains officials."

In the past, Su Ruojin always felt that the national court was far away from her. When she told Xue Changcheng to listen, why not tell it to herself. As she spoke, she suddenly became nervous. Half of the court officials had been replaced, so there was no more. Where are the Imperial City Division of Prince Wei and Zhao Lan? Will most of the soldiers inside be replaced?

"Wait." Suddenly, Su Ruojin stood up.

Xue Changcheng was startled by her and stood up, "Ajin, what did you think of?"

Su Ruojin looked at him, "I..."

She didn't dare to say.

"Uncle Xue, you...I asked Uncle Mang to send you and Brother Wulang back first. Just like you said, stay at home and try not to go out."

Su Ruojin left the living room and asked Mang Zhong to send the Xue family and his son home, "Uncle Mang, after seeing Uncle Xue off, you go find Prince Zhao and tell him that I have something to do with him."

"good."

I always wanted to ignore her, always thinking that she was just a commoner, but the more I thought about it, the more I became afraid. If Mr. Yang was really from Liaoxia, what would the capital be like now!

Su Ruojin didn't even take a few bites of dinner, and waited until dark before Zhao Lan came over.

"Ajin, are you looking for me?"

Su Ruojin asked, "Ms. Yang is now a member of Tongping Zhang. It stands to reason that if her daughter gets engaged today, the Jin Palace and others will also send people to send congratulations, right?"

Zhao Lan said disdainfully, "I didn't send it."

"You don't want to give away the celebrity in front of the emperor?"

Zhao Lan sneered.

Su Ruojin quickly pulled him, looked outside the door, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think Mr. Yang is a fake?"

She always felt.

"I've sent someone to check."

"Do you have any clues?"

Zhao Lan said nothing.

"No?" Su Ruojin stared at him with expectation.

"It's not like nothing."

Her eyes lit up, "That means there are clues."

"Um."

Su Ruojin clasped her hands together, "Is that before the wedding or after the wedding?"

Zhao Lan:…

Why did you suddenly switch to this topic?

"If..." Su Ruojin took a deep breath, "Before getting married, then he is Ah Rong's biological father. If it is after getting married, then..."

Zhao Lan asked back, "What do you think about Ah Jin?"

Su Ruojin took a deep breath again, "I think it was before marriage."

"Why?"

Su Ruojin said, "I have suspected Yang for a long time, so I inquired about many things with Ah Rong, and found that Yang Jingzi had to move out after getting married, which was inconsistent with the customs at this time. Even if he lived in the Yang family It's not going well, but usually, if the head of the family doesn't talk about splitting up the family, the children of the family rarely move out.”

Zhao Lan has also been investigating this recently, and it is indeed unreasonable.

"The second point is that when he was a supervisory envoy at the Yushitai, he was 'upright' while helping the down-and-out scholars. Brother Jin, can you find out where these scholars are now?"

Zhao Lan only found out this recently. Half of the people had already entered the corners of the court.

When Zhao Lan took out the list of these people, Su Ruojin's spine trembled with shock, "Brother Jin, do these people above know?"

"My father knows, others..." Even if he said it, no one would believe it.

"The Imperial City Secretary and other imperial guards..." The more he spoke, the more shocking it became. Su Ruojin pointed in the direction of the palace: "Does that person know?"

Zhao Lan sneered coldly, "If he knew, there would be no such person named Yang."

"Brother Jin, then let Yang..." destroy the country.

Zhao Lan sighed, "Don't worry, Dayin will always be named Zhao."

Well? So, they took action?

Su Ruojin looked at Zhao Lan earnestly, hoping that he would understand everything.

Zhao Lan stretched out his hand to caress the top of her head, "Let men worry about these things."

Su Ruojin pouted, "What if someone wants to lure me to rescue Li Xiuzhu?"

"You stay here and don't go anywhere." Zhao Lan said, "I will solve this matter." After saying that, he stood up and said, "So during this period, I will be very busy, so you just stay in the capital with me. ”

"What about my parents?"

"Don't worry, I will take care of you."

With his words, she felt relieved, "The surname is Yang..." She couldn't help but test it out.

Zhao Lan laughed, "It's getting late, go to bed early."

"Oh." Su Ruojin raised her mouth.

Zhao Lan stepped forward and hugged her, "I'm afraid I won't be able to calm down this winter. No matter what happens, come to me, you know."

"good."
