Jiangshan is a matchmaker: Husband, please stay

Chapter 140 Su Family Spirits
"I've suffered from dumbness, I admit it. But, I need a while, I'm in pain..."

Su Xiaoshan pointed to his chest.

Su Jiu pursed her lips, not letting herself cry, she knew it, she knew it.

It hurts, everyone hurts.

The two siblings finally hugged each other and cried, suffering during the long rainy season.

The old man Su often went out recently, and Su Jiu didn't care about it. He didn't come back last night again, which saved the noise in the yard.

Today's rain came quickly, but he didn't want to leave. The long rain fell, as if it had fallen into the bottom of people's hearts.

Su Jiu prepared breakfast and lunch for Su Xiaoshan. After noon, the sky still didn't clear up, and it tended to be more gloomy.The siblings were not in a hurry to eat, but Su's mother over there filled her stomach in front of the stove first, then went into the house silently and continued to collect shoes.Su Jiu and Su Xiaoshan were sitting at the dining table, waiting for old man Su to come back to have dinner together, but they couldn't wait for anyone. When they were about to start dinner, they saw old man Su coming back with a wheelbarrow limping.

"Father, what's wrong with you, did you fall, is it serious?" Su Jiu hurriedly stepped forward to check.

Old man Su's body was drenched, and he didn't know whether it was rain or sweat from the pain on his face. He frowned tightly and didn't say a word.

Su Jiu could see the pain he was enduring. Looking at his swollen ankle, he threw away his apron and was about to go out. "Xiao Shan, take care of Dad. I'll go find a doctor."

"Come back, where do you go to find a doctor under such heavy rain, come back." Old man Su said in a low voice.

"Father, it looks like your foot is seriously injured."

Old man Su unloaded the wine gourd from his waist, took a sip, and the clear wine entered his stomach. He immediately felt refreshed, and the pain was suppressed by the alcohol. After a while, he said, "It's okay, just Sprained, rest for two days, it's a pity to lose the wine."

"Father, I'll call you if you want to drink, why don't you come back in the middle of the night?"

"That's all silver!"

"Father, of course you need money to buy wine. Don't worry, I still have some money. I have recently learned to write letters for others. What kind of wine do you want to drink? I will buy it for you. If you don't come home late at night, we are all worried. "Su Jiu took off old man Su's shoes, and was about to fetch cold water, which can reduce swelling, but suddenly remembered that there was still some medicinal wine at home, so he turned around to search again.

Old man Su leaned on the wooden chair and watched her go about her business, and suddenly felt a sense of sadness overflowing, "Girl, let's go to the city!"

Su Jiu rummaged through boxes and cabinets, and asked, "What are you going to do in the city?"

The old man Su sighed, and said very seriously, "Although the prince is a bit domineering, he is still a prince. He must not suffer when he goes, at least he will not worry about food and clothing."

Su Jiu was stunned, and almost threw the medicinal wine jar in her hand. She sat down on the ground, and the tears she just collected fell down again, "Father..."

"It's hard for you, and dad can't see it. He wanted to sell those fig spirits, so he went to the frontier army to collect the wine. Who would have thought that it would rain on the way, and the mountain road was slippery, and everything was broken. Hey ...How can this be good, all the money has been collected."

"Father, did you go to the frontier to deliver wine?" Su Jiu wiped away the tears on his face and looked at old man Su.

Old man Su moved his body for a while to make himself more comfortable, and leaned back there, "Yes, ouch, the mountain road is very slippery."

"Father, I'll go." Su Jiu stood up, casually touched the tears on his face with his sleeve, and said, "Is there still wine at home? There's still time to send it over now."

"No, that's not what girls do, it's tiring."

"Sister, I." Su Xiaoshan came out from inside, still clutching the bamboo hat.

Su Jiu laughed and nodded to Xiao Shan, "Okay!"

Seeing that it was still early, Su Jiu took out the jars at the back of the house, loaded the cart with Xiao Shan, and hurried out of the yard.

The old man Su still didn't forget to explain while pawing at the wooden door, "Be careful, be careful, hey..."

Su Jiu yelled at old man Su, "Father, go back and lie down quickly, the rice is heating up in the pot. Don't worry, we'll be back at night."

"Be careful, hey... Blame me, blame me. If you are with the prince, you will enjoy the blessings, why should you suffer this crime. That kid from Xiaoshan must have failed the exam, and he came back like a different person. He did evil, hey, hey, hey ..."

The old man Su was chattering, and Su's mother, who was picking up shoes in the room, threw away the needle and thread angrily, "Nagging, chattering."

"Mother, you do the work. You have always been an outsider in this family, and an outsider is an outsider."

Mother Su didn't say a word, she spread out the quilt and lay down there to sleep.

Old man Su was still standing at the door looking around, until he finally lost sight of his siblings, he turned around and lay down on the wooden bed.

Su Jiu and Xiao Shan swayed their wheelbarrows down the mountain, and it was easy to go down the mountain. The mountain road was full of stones, and after being washed by the rain, it was easier to walk.But going to the frontier fortress has to go through a section of rugged mountain road, which made it difficult for the two of them.

While rolling up his sleeves, Su Jiu looked at the potholed mountain road and was worried, so he said to Xiao Shan, "Xiao Shan, you wait here, and I will carry it over. If you push the cart like this, it will definitely fall down in the middle, just like your father." The loss outweighs the gains by breaking the wine jars, I moved them over one by one, it took a lot of effort, but it’s good to be safe. Don’t wander around, just wait for me here.”

Xiao Shan stopped Su Jiu, rolled up his trousers, and said to Su Jiu, "Sister, I'll come."

"Xiaoshan, you can't move it."

"Sister, I just can't think about it sometimes, but I'm not crazy, and I'm not a useless person. There's no reason why I can't move these jars of wine. I'll come, don't move."

Su Jiu looked at Su Xiaoshan's eagerness to try, but he was not anxious, "Okay, wait a little longer, I'll hang the lamp on your waist so that it can still illuminate the road."

Xiao Shan patted his chest, "Sister, I can finish moving in a while."

Xiao Shan tried the wine jar that was as thick as a person in front of him, and he could still move it, so he held the wine jar in his arms with all his strength. Although the road was shaking from side to side, he rested a few times. Fortunately, nothing happened. trouble.

By the time the two of them delivered the wine to the frontier, it was already dark.

Standing there on duty was the soldier commander that Su Jiu knew. When he saw the spirits being brought over, he greeted them with a big smile. There were several people behind him, and moved the wine in.

"Uncle, it's late, don't mind. My father is not in good health recently. This is the first time for us. Next time, we will definitely deliver it in time."

"It's okay, it's okay, it's not a few hours away. We still have a lot of spirits here, because your wine tastes the purest, and we like to drink it the most. It's a bit cold at night, or someone is injured, take a sip, Surely it can cure all diseases. Hehe, it used to be a free drink, but this time you have to pay for it. Hehe, let’s go in and drink some tea before leaving.”

"No, it's getting dark, Xiao Shan and I have to go back." Su Jiu pulled Xiao Shan to leave.

"Hey, wait, girl." The captain held Su Jiu, Su Jiu was startled, suddenly there were a few more silver ingots in her hand, and she wanted to ask a question.

The captain winked hurriedly, and said in a low voice, "Take it, take as much as you can. This time, a new lieutenant general has arrived in the army, and he will be directly under the control of the prince. In the future, the prince will not run here."

"My lord..." Su Jiu muttered in a low voice.

The captain looked at Su Jiu and knew a thing or two about the past, so he changed the subject in time and said, "The new lieutenant general does things just like the prince, so we can't underestimate them. The expenses here must be transparent. The money was saved by everyone, and it’s useless, so I’ll keep it for you, don’t delay, let’s go!” After speaking, the soldier pushed Su Jiu.

Su Jiu hesitated, but still gave the money to the soldier commander, "I can't take it, your money is not easy, I can't take it, if I take it back, I will be scolded by my father."

"Hey, if I tell you to take it, just take it. This girl is so determined, take it." The soldier commander pushed the silver into Su Jiu's hand vigorously, and he didn't forget to push her hand forward, "Hurry up!" Well, it's getting dark."

"But……"

"Hiss..." the soldier took a deep breath, frowned, looked at the busy soldier over there, and said, "No one knows, take it away, hurry up, dead boy."

"I……"

"What are you, why is this girl as virtuous as old man Su? Hurry up, you won't be happy if you get more money, just bring me a roast chicken later."

Su Jiu laughed a little, nodded quickly, and pulled Xiao Shan to leave.

Su Jiu looked at the familiar military camp, and at the aunts and ladies who followed the lieutenant officers and soldiers in a hot fight. Their hearty laughter spread all over the field, like the empty sadness shaking in Su Jiu's heart. .

Nie Wuhuan was not coming anymore. These words were like a machete, leaving scars on Su Jiu's heart. She walked with difficulty, following the hill step by step, but the road under her feet was so difficult.

Before Su Jiu and Su Xiaoshan walked out of the army camp, someone stopped them there.

Su Jiu tightly held the money in his hand, looked at the man in front of him, he was extremely strange, he seemed to be the leader here, thinking of Nie Wuhuan who was here before, Su Jiu became more vigilant, maybe he wanted to get the money back ?The expenses in the military have always been clear, so the uncle gave her too much money and wanted to go back? !
The man looked at Su Jiu and Su Xiaoshan, took out a letter from his arms, and said to Su Jiu, "Here is Miss Su's letter."

"Mine?" Su Jiu was startled, and was the first to think of Nie Wuhuan, so he hesitated whether to pick it up.

"Here, it's an invitation letter from the prince of the Northern Dynasty to Miss Su."

"Prince of the Northern Dynasty, Liao Xuanyi?" Su Jiu was very surprised.

The lieutenant general nodded, "Exactly, now that the two countries are on good terms, the Northern Dynasty was invited to congratulate them. The Prince of the Northern Dynasty specially invited Miss Su to go, saying that Miss Su was his savior."

Su Jiu nodded slightly, both happy and hesitant, staring at the letter in the lieutenant general's hand in a daze.

"Going forward, it is said that it is an invitation, but in fact Miss Su must go, because the emperor has also spoken, if you don't go, you will be disobedient."

"Why?" Su Jiu shouted.

"Because Miss Su is acquainted with the Queen, the Queen specifically said that she misses Miss Su and wants to meet her!"

"..." Su Jiu's heart skipped a beat. Looking at the hill beside him, hatred suddenly grew stronger. He bit his thin lips, nodded and agreed immediately, "Okay, I'll go."
