The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 781 Accidents One After Another

The news that Bai Kui told Su Yunduo was indeed not very good, but it also made Su Yunduo heave a sigh of relief. He had to complain to Lu Jinkang in his heart, but at the same time, he was also moved by Lu Jinkang's affection for him.

Silently raising his hand to Bai Kui to make him retreat, Su Yunduo picked up the letter and read it seriously.

After reading Lu Jinkang's letter, I was really angry and funny, but there was also a sour, astringent, warm and soft feeling in my heart.

It turned out that in the past one month or so, except for the letter received by Lu Jinkang in the first ten days or so, which was written to her based on what he saw and heard during the actual itinerary, the trip was delayed due to one after another. Lu Jinkang was afraid that the pregnant Su Yunduo would do this Worried, he simply sent her back according to his normal schedule based on what he had seen and heard from Ning Zhongping.

No wonder Lu Jinkang "arrived" in Yanshan Mansion on the 27th of the first lunar month!
Looking at Lu Jinkang's letter now, Lu Jinkang's trip was really not going well, as soon as he passed Taicheng, things happened one after another.

Lu Jinkang wanted to finish his errands as soon as possible and return to Beijing earlier. Although he didn't have to rush day and night, his schedule was very tight.

From the day of departure, it was basically at Maozheng and Youzheng before settling down to rest, and even lunch was just cold water and some dry food on the way.

At that time, it was in the first lunar month, and the sun was relatively short, so it could be said that the moon was worn by the stars and worn by the moon.

Because of the cold weather, he traveled for several days and walked with the team. He had never had a hard time, and because he had stayed in the family temple for more than a year, the weaker Xiao Xu fell ill first.

In the beginning, she just vomited and pulled a little bit, but this time Xiao Xu was quite stubborn, and strictly ordered the waiters around her not to trouble Lu Jinkang with her illness, so she just ate some pills that Su Yunduo had prepared for her indiscriminately. , Keeping the matter of illness a secret.

It's just that the illness came like a mountain, and she didn't take the medicine that Su Yunduo had prepared for her. Soon after passing Taicheng, she developed a high fever and fell into a coma.

The maid waiting on the car was terrified, and it was only then that Xiao Xu's illness was revealed.

Lu Jinkang was angry and annoyed, and hurriedly asked the accompanying military doctor to treat Xiao Xu.

The accompanying military doctor is good at treating trauma, and is quite proficient in wind-cold and dysentery, but it is a bit stretched to deal with Xiao Xu's illness.

Reluctantly, he had to temporarily stop at the post station outside Shunyang City, and invited a doctor from Shunyang City to treat Mrs. Xu. This stop lasted for three full days, which completely wiped out the advantage of Lu Jinkang's itinerary that he had managed to get out of.

After Xiao Xu's high fever subsided and his health improved, the team went back on the road.

Lu Jinkang thought twice and adjusted the itinerary slightly. Although he still set off at Maozheng and then settled at Youzheng, he adjusted the way of eating at noon and tried to find a place where there are people to rest. Even if there are no people, he will definitely stop. The stove is buried in a pot to boil some hot water, so that everyone can have a sip of hot water, and then dare not plan the itinerary and let Xiao Xu follow them, rough men, to send dry food with cold water.

If he can go all the way smoothly like this, Lu Jinkang feels that there will be no little Xu and his party holding him back when he returns. If he tries to compress the schedule and hurry, he should be able to return to the capital as scheduled in early March.

It's just that no matter how good Lu Jinkang's calculations are, he can't match God's arrangement.

Shunyang City is located on the edge of Yanshan Mountains. After passing Shunyang Mansion, the convoy enters the mountainous area. Although the official road is relatively wide, the road is even more difficult.

Accidents of carriages slipping due to freezing happened from time to time. Fortunately, the drivers on this trip were all used to this route, they were familiar with the road conditions, and their ability to control horses was also very good. There was no rollover accident. The speed slowed down significantly.

In such a situation, Lu Jinkang naturally knew that there was no need to rush. Compared with the speed of travel, the most important thing was to escort the convoy to the border town, so no matter how anxious he was, he remained calm.

Just sending the letter back to the capital, he began to rush towards the border city day by day according to the speed in his heart. It was not until an avalanche suddenly encountered on this day that the communication had to be interrupted.

The avalanche happened on the third day after leaving Shunyang City. According to Lu Jinkang's previous estimation, he should arrive at Yanshan Mansion on this day, and before the convoy set off, he did arrive in Yanshan Mansion in a team to deliver a letter to Su Yunduo.

But shortly after departure that day, the convoy encountered an avalanche. Fortunately, there were people who were proficient in meteorology in the accompanying team, who discovered the clues of the avalanche in advance, bought precious time for the convoy, and found a safe place to avoid the avalanche. Trapped in a small valley, there is no way to retreat.

After the convoy settled down in a safe place, they counted the vehicles and the number of people, and found that only two carriages were lost, and only a few people were slightly injured. Lu Jinkang immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

For such a large convoy, it was a blessing among misfortunes that only two carriages were damaged and a few people were slightly injured in an avalanche!
When he asked what kind of carriage was lost and who was injured, the expression on his face was a bit indescribable.

It turned out that the lost carriage and the injured belonged to Mrs. Xu, and when the news got out, it seemed that he wanted to embarrass Mrs. Xu.

However, Lu Jinkang quickly put away the expression on his face. He is not a person who is afraid of people talking, and this time is not the time to care about gains and losses. The top priority is to try to get the team out of danger safely.

Lu Jinkang left Chunsheng to take care of the convoy, while he himself took Chunfeng Chunyu to explore the way ahead.

Although the convoy had enough dry food to wait for the rescue team outside, Lu Jinkang was not a passive waiter.

After some investigation, it was decided to keep a small part of the vehicle and Xiao Xu's party in place to protect the vehicle, and all the others went ahead to clear the road.

After two days and nights of hard work, they finally joined forces with the rescue team sent by Yanshan Prefecture.

After another day of non-stop clearing obstacles, the convoy that stayed in the small mountain for three days finally started slowly again, but there were many small-scale avalanches along the way, and the speed of travel could not be increased. Originally, it only took two days to go from From Shunyang City to Yanshanfu City, it took five full days this time, and the convoy did not arrive at the post station outside Yanshanfu City until the ninth day of February.

Looking at the tired faces of the soldiers and Xiao Xu's group, Lu Jinkang had to decide to rest in Yanshan Fucheng for two days.

But this helpless decision saved the convoy from a possible catastrophe, because a larger avalanche occurred in the direction of Yanshan Mansion towards the border town. will be buried under this avalanche.

When the news of a large-scale avalanche in front reached the station, Lu Jinkang was both terrified and fortunate.

Unexpectedly, he just couldn't bear it for a while, but he saved the entire team from being destroyed!

Lu Jinkang let everyone rest at the post station, and he himself went to the avalanche scene with the magistrate of Yanshan. If he didn't arrange for everyone to rest and continue on their way, among the people buried under the avalanche would be the team he escorted, maybe he himself was one of them.

Judging by the amount of the avalanche, it might be difficult to pass within seven or eight days, but this is the only way to go from Yanshan Mansion to the northern city, so no matter how anxious Lu Jinkang was, he had no choice but to send the convoy outside Yanshan Mansion. I stayed at the post station and took the accompanying soldiers to the site of the avalanche every day to help clear the road. Although the number of people who can clear the obstacles is limited, they can always do their best. I only hope that the road ahead will be clear sooner so that they can Completely escort the task as soon as possible.

Just because of this, Lu Jinkang didn't know how to write a letter to Su Yunduo.

From the day he sent Su Yunduo the letter he "arrived" in Yanshan Mansion, until the days when he actually arrived in Yanshan Mansion, he really didn't send a letter to the capital.

Because of the avalanche, Lu Jinkang was so busy that he couldn't find the time to make up a reasonable letter to "fool" Su Yunduo.

Also because of the avalanche, the postal route, which was not originally smooth, had to be temporarily interrupted. If Lu Jinkang still used the channel of the post station to send letters to the capital as before, it was temporarily impossible.

Besides, the casualties caused by the avalanche in Yanshan Mansion were a bit high, and Yanshan Mansion had to report to the capital.

And Lu Jinkang's convoy coincided with the meeting. The magistrate of Yanshan had to bring a fortune when he reported the disaster. With Su Yunduo's clear eyes and ears, Lu Jinkang naturally knew that as long as the prefect of Yanshan's report arrived in the capital, it would be impossible to hide it. Su Yunduo.

The successive accidents along the way completely disrupted Lu Jinkang's plan and made him wonder how to write to Su Yunduo.

After all, in order not to worry Su Yunduo, he said that he had already arrived at Yanshan Mansion!

In the end, he gritted his teeth and sent an authentic letter to the capital following the report of the magistrate of Yanshan to the capital. After all, his group is indeed safe now, even if the previously lost vehicles were found later, it can be It is said that the current loss of their convoy is nothing more than the loss of two horses and minor injuries to a few people.

Su Yunduo looked at the letter in his hand, recalled the slightly coquettish language in Lu Jinkang's letter, it was really funny and heart-warming, touched his slightly protruding belly, murmured softly, pursed his lips and smiled as he read the letter Fold it and give it to Ziyue who is waiting beside her.

Ziyue took the letter, took out a small box from the multi-treasure shelf, and carefully put the letter into it.

There were already a dozen letters in the small box, and they were all letters written by Lu Jinkang this time.

Every time Su Yunduo received a letter, he would read it carefully with a happy smile, then write down the date of receipt in the envelope, put it in a box and put it away carefully.

If there is no letter from Lu Jinkang delivered to the mansion one day, Su Yunduo will take out the box and take out the previous letters to taste each letter again with a smile on his face. communicate with the fetus in the

In the days without Lu Jinkang by his side, these letters became the best comfort for Su Yunduo to miss Lu Jinkang.

The following days seem to be back to the time when Lu Jinkang just left the capital. Letters come back almost every day. Naturally, these letters are no longer the "advanced" letters before, and almost become real-time in Lu Jinkang's next itinerary. The broadcast, although the real-time broadcast was somewhat distorted due to the long distance, it kept the original flavor, which naturally made Su Yunduo enjoy watching it.

At the beginning of March, Su Yunduo finally received the letter that Lu Jinkang wrote to her after he arrived in the border town. In the letter, Lu Jinkang told Su Yunduo that he still needs to stay in the border town for a few days, and it will take February before he can set off to return.

Although Lu Jinkang did not explain the reason for his stay, Su Yunduo felt a chill in his heart. Lu Jinkang might not be able to leave in March as he wished for this stay.

Because on the day that Su Yunduo received Lu Jinkang's letter, Liu Baili from the northern city also rushed into Beijing.

The cavalry of Beichen Kingdom, which borders on the northern border city, repeatedly attacked the border, burning, killing and looting the border residents of Dongling Kingdom.

What else does Su Yunduo not understand?

The reason why Lu Jinkang stayed in the border town was that he had discovered Beichen Guo's intention to raise troops at that time.

Since the meeting coincided with the meeting, Lu Jinkang, as the heir of the Duke of Zhenguo, could not stand by and watch, let alone turn around and leave, even if he did not need to fight the enemy himself.

An Shi was very worried about Su Yunduo, so she went to Xiaofengyuan to visit in person, but seeing Su Yunduo's calm face, she couldn't help being surprised and surprised, thinking that Su Yunduo hadn't got the news.

But Su Yunduo said indifferently: "Grandmother, don't worry, I am young and ignorant but I also know the responsibility of my husband, so I will not drag my husband back."

An Shi took Su Yunduo's hand and patted it lightly, but she was relieved and sighed in her heart.

The Zhen Guogong Mansion has been stationed in the northern city for several generations. An Shi has never seen how many times the [-]-mile rush has been used. She has long been accustomed to such a [-]-mile rush, but she did not expect that Su Yunduo, who faced it alone for the first time, would also How could An's not feel relieved to have a normal complexion? !

What is the current situation in the border town? To say that Su Yunduo is not worried at all is to think highly of her. After all, her husband is in the border town, and there are female relatives like Yang Aoqun.

It's just that she has already been prepared for similar things, and she knows the position of the Zhen Guo Gongfu very well. She even has the consciousness of stationing with Lu Jinkang in the frontier city to face the war. An's family, whose children and grandchildren are safe in the border town, has new worries.

After receiving the news of the war between Beibian City and Beichen Kingdom, Mrs. Lu and Ning's family had to come to Zhen Guogong's mansion to visit and comfort Su Yunduo.

"Mother, don't worry. I will take good care of my body, let the baby grow up healthily, and wait for my husband to return safely in the mansion. I also believe in my husband, and I will not put myself in danger." Su Yunduo comforted her in turn. The worried Ning family.

Naturally, Ning's visit to Zhen Guogong Mansion did not come to aggravate Su Yunduo's worries, but when facing Su Yunduo, she unknowingly revealed the worries in her heart, so that Su Yunduo could comfort herself in turn, and Ning's was also very worried about herself. Embarrassed, she calmed herself down and tried to smile: "The son-in-law is capable, and the mother is not so worried. But no matter what kind of news you get, don't overthink it. The son-in-law will return safely!"

Su Yunduo nodded with a smile, she firmly believed that God sent her here, she would not be a widow, and she would die with Lu Jinkang forever!
