Because of this, the old lady was thinking about letting Xiaoliu marry a lower-class man so that she could take care of him. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, the Jiang family and the Xiang family both fell in love with their Xiaoliu.

It felt as if their own top student turned out to be a fake poor student, which was very satisfying and proud.

The old lady couldn't hide the smile on her face. Seeing that the fourth lady couldn't help showing off, "Our Xiaoliu is so outstanding, it's not surprising that they like her."

The fourth lady nodded, "Mother is right."

Naturally, her daughter is good no matter how she looks at her!

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were obviously in sync at this moment. The fourth lady looked at the old lady and said, "Mother, there is no news from the palace yet. The choice of the Crown Princess is still uncertain, so we can't be too ostentatious. I don't think it's good to just say we're going to meet each other. How about we just go out for a walk?"

The old lady seemed to be thinking about something, "Okay, you don't have to think too much about the Jiang family. Everyone knows who is right and who is wrong. Let's wait and see which one Xinyi likes. It doesn't matter if she doesn't like either of them. We can take our time to choose."

At this point, the old lady suddenly remembered something and looked at the fourth lady and asked : "Is your third sister-in-law going to take Xixian to see her in the next few days?"

The fourth lady nodded, "Yes, it seems to be scheduled for the day after tomorrow."

The old lady nodded slightly, looked at the fourth lady and said, "You can pass the message to the Jiang family and the Xiang family, and say that our fifth lady wants to see the sixth lady as a companion."

The fourth lady understood as soon as she heard it. The candidate for the Crown Princess has not been decided yet, and their little six must not be able to see her openly, but Sister Pei will have no problem going to see her. When the time comes, whether it is the Jiang family or the Xiang family, if they meet during an outing, it will only be a chance encounter.

However, the fourth lady could hear what the old lady meant, and she had to make it clear to the lady of two years. It was not their family who picked, but the two families mentioned the marriage one after another within a day. They could not favor one over the other. They should meet together, not to say that they are seeing each other, but to see how the children get along.

The fourth lady personally went to the Xiang family and then to the Jiang family. Her attitude was very sincere and she explained it clearly. The ladies of the two families could not blame her, but they just felt that this matter was so fussy. The fourth lady also said that she would not tell Su Xinyi that she was the one who chose the horse, but asked her to accompany her sister to choose the horse, so that everyone would not feel embarrassed.

Originally, the ladies of the two families felt that it was a sure thing, after all, their children were indeed outstanding and their family backgrounds were impeccable, but now someone who was almost the same suddenly appeared, and the feeling was different.

Although good food is not afraid of being late, it cannot be stopped by someone snatching it.

Mrs. Xiang told her husband about this matter in the evening. Mr. Xiang has been busy with one thing after another in the government office recently. Raising horses in the Imperial Household Department is not a simple matter. First of all, you have to raise horses well, and you also have to have a stable source of horses here.

The Tatar tribes have been very strict with horses recently, and it is not easy to buy horses. Mr. Xiang is busy with this matter.

After a tiring day, he wanted to lie down and rest. He listened to his wife talking about the eldest son's marriage. After listening, he looked at his wife and asked in confusion: "Why did you like the Princess Yong'an from the Duke of Qi's Mansion?"

"What's wrong with Princess Yong'an?" Madam Xiang looked at her husband and asked in confusion, "I think the child is good. You don't look down on the girl because she grew up in the countryside?"

Mr. Xiang rubbed his eyebrows, "What are you talking about? I mean, don't you know that Princess Yong'an has a bad reputation?"

"If you say so, then when Fourth Master Su was still around, she was even more mischievous than her daughter." Madam Xiang was amused, "How can you only judge a person by appearance? Last time, I accompanied my sister-in-law to see Jing Mo, and Princess Yong'an happened to accompany her sister. That child is very generous. She is not timid like a country girl, and she is very thoughtful in her work and speaks in a warm and pleasant way. For a family like ours, we have to choose a powerful wife for our eldest son. I think Princess Yong'an is very good. "

Mr. Xiang was silent for a while, and then said: "There is one thing you don't know. Do you know how Princess Yong'an got this reward?"

Mrs. Xiang looked at her husband, "I heard that she made great contributions in Zhangping Prefecture, and His Majesty loves the whole family, and I heard that there is also compensation for Master Su Si. There is nothing to say about this reward falling on Princess Yong'an."

Mr. Xiang snorted, "Women see things simply."

Mrs. Xiang: ...

"Is there any other reason?" Mrs. Xiang asked when she didn't understand. There was nothing to be ashamed of for her husband.

Mr. Xiang nodded, "Every decree issued by His Majesty after he ascended the throne was not random. What's the point of making up for it? After Su Chun died in battle, wasn't His Majesty's reward to the Duke of Qi's Mansion generous enough?"

"Not because of this? Then why?" Madam Xiang's expression also became serious.

"You also know that I have some friendship with Commander Guo of the Imperial Guards. Last time we drank together, I heard him tell a story. Zhangping Prefecture was surrounded by the Tatar army. This Princess of Yong'an sneaked into the grassland from Yulin Guard with only her own family and a few men. In just a few days, she found out the enemy's grain transport team and took a few people to set up an ambush in the mountains outside Zhangping Prefecture."

Madam Xiang said in astonishment: "Didn't they say that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince ambushed?"

"Yes, everyone thinks so, but the news was sent back by the Lord of Yong'an County. His Royal Highness received the news unexpectedly and immediately decided to take people out of the city. It is indeed his responsibility as the crown prince. The ambush outside Zhangping Mansion was Yong'an The county lord and His Royal Highness joined forces and dragged the army to the city to support her. For this great achievement, your majesty made her the county lord and the reward is worthy of the name. "

Mrs. Xiang took a long breath and said, "I didn't expect Miss Su Liu to be so powerful, and most men don't have the courage. Isn't this just right? No wonder I like her when I look at her."

"No, don't you think that the chairperson of Yong'an County is too tough and powerful? Are you sure our son can control her? Do you still remember what happened in the Duke of Qin's mansion? If your son takes a concubine after getting married, she won't allow it. what to do?"

Mrs. Xiang looked at her husband and said, "If the county lord can give birth to a child by himself, what kind of concubine will he need? It's not enough to cause trouble."

Lord Xiang inexplicably felt that he had been shot and his knees hurt a little, "That's it, that's all. If you don't care about this, then let it be."

Although Mrs. Xiang criticized her husband in this way, after thinking about it carefully, she felt that her husband's words made sense. Marrying a virtuous wife would not be a good thing if the wife was too strong.

Mrs. Xiang didn't sleep well all night and decided to invite her sister-in-law out for tea. Ask her again.

The third lady came in a hurry because she had to prepare for the meeting tomorrow, and she had to look at Su Xixian's clothes and jewelry5 one by one. However, it was rare for her sister-in-law to call her out, so she came quickly.

"Sister-in-law, what do you want from me that you have to come out for tea?" The third lady knew that her sister-in-law was also busy and had a lot of things at home, so how could she find the time to come out and have tea with her.

But after the third lady listened to her sister-in-law's words, she couldn't say a word for a long time.

Mrs. Xiang looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Why do you look like this? What's wrong? What's wrong?"

"Sister-in-law, do you want Yanming to marry Xinyi?"

Mrs. Xiang nodded. After nodding, she realized that she hadn't mentioned it to her sister-in-law yet. She felt a little guilty. She coughed lightly and said, "I saw Miss Six at Daling Temple last time. I think Miss Six is ​​of good character. But in the end, it's you." I live with her, so I just want to ask you."

The third lady's expression was tangled, looking at her sister-in-law with a really complicated look, and finally said: "There's nothing wrong with Xin Yi, it's just that he's too powerful and our children can't control it, sister-in-law, you'd better forget it. "

Unexpectedly, my sister-in-law and her husband had the same mind. She hesitated and asked, "So powerful?"

The third lady covered her face with a handkerchief, "She even dares to beat up King Rong, what's wrong with her?"

Mrs. Xiang was shocked, "Is there such a thing? Why didn't you hear the slightest news?"

The third lady thought about it and felt that her words were ambiguous, so she paused and said: "When Xin Yi just came back, there was some disharmony between His Highness Prince Rong and her. I don't know exactly what it is. I just heard from Jing Mo. I mentioned this once. However, Xin Yi also saved King Rong’s life, and the Queen ordered someone to come to deliver a reward.”

Although the reward was breathtaking, the third lady did not say that it was not a loss of face for Xin Yi.

Mrs. Xiang looked at her sister-in-law, "What do you think of this marriage?"

Of course, the third lady didn't like it. She looked at her sister-in-law earnestly and persuaded her: "Sister-in-law, you listen to me. Xinyi is not something that ordinary people can control. She is really capable. She has a gun that makes even our old masters praise her. Our family boss All together, it's not enough for her to shoot with one shot. It's fine if the relationship between the couple is good. But if the relationship between the couple is not good, won't the eldest nephew have to live with his neck hanging under her hands for the rest of his life? "Can you bear it? "

The third lady didn't like Su Xinyi before, but now she doesn't like her anymore. But not liking her doesn't mean she is willing to let her into the Xiang family. The old Xiang family really can't control her.

Mrs. Xiang was even more upset, but no matter how she liked the girl she liked, there was no perfect woman in this world. She thought about it and said, "Although you say so, I think it's better to let Yan Ming go and take a look." , What if the two children can see eye to eye? It would be better if they are more powerful and can support the family. Yan Ming's temperament is a bit too easy to talk to, so it would be good to have a powerful wife to take care of him. "

Third Lady:…

Eldest nephew, my aunt has really tried her best. Your mother is obsessed with Xin Yi.

"Sister-in-law, please think about it again." The third lady really felt that Su Xinyi was not suitable for the Xiang family. The Xiang family was from a well-educated family at that time, and the young and old were all gentle in speaking and doing things. Xinyi... she was not good enough.

"You also said that Xin Yi's kid is pretty good. Even if he has a stronger temperament, there are advantages and disadvantages. Besides, Xin Yi may not be able to like your nephew. Maybe we just want to shave off our heads and pick the one with the best."

The third lady was not happy when she heard this, "What's wrong with Yan Ming? Now he has already been promoted to the imperial examination. When he becomes a Jinshi, he can be awarded an official position. He is the young talent. To be honest, Xin Yi grew up in the countryside. "

Mrs. Xiang looked at her sister-in-law and immediately said, "Don't say such things again in the future. What's wrong with someone who grew up in the country? If someone who grew up in the country can be so good, I would also be willing to send my child to the country."

Third Lady:…

Her sister-in-law was such a strict person, but now she has changed.

"Sister-in-law, I think you'd better not think about it. Most people can't tell what Xin Yi's girl is thinking. Maybe she's really not the same person as Yan Ming. You should be prepared first so that you don't get sulky when the time comes." The more the lady talked, the more likely it seemed, "Can this tiger fall in love with a cat?"

Mrs. Xiang:…

You'd better shut up!

Su Xinyi from Duke of Qi's Mansion just received a letter from Yulinwei that Zhanqiao gave her. There was a thick stack of letters, including those from two cousins, Mu Xing, Tian Zao and Bao Datong.

She first opened her cousin's letter, and after reading it carefully, she breathed a sigh of relief. They were indeed trapped on the grassland years ago. Fortunately, Pang Lan was familiar with the grassland and took them to find the place where the herdsmen lived. Bartering was a place to stay to avoid the wind and snow.

The cousin's letter was quite relaxed, and she was relieved that the people in the caravan were brought back. They also exchanged a lot of things. The things they exchanged were counted into books and divided into three parts. Su Xinyi was also given a map. This map was the place they walked on the grassland years ago.

Su Xinyi couldn't let it go. She liked this map more than the things. Her eldest cousin's work really won her heart.

The letters from the eldest cousin were all about reporting safety and saying good things. Tian Zao's letters were also written in a formal manner, and they also wrote about their life in Yulinwei. Every day they trained, patrolled, and farmed. The days were boring and uninteresting, but in Tian Zao's writing, one could still see the hidden expectations and desire for revenge.

Tian Zao also said in the letter that the enemy tower not far from Yulinwei where the caravan lived had been rebuilt and expanded. Because the caravan brought a lot of convenience to the people of Yulinwei, and the prices of the things sold were very fair, many people went to help.

Tian Zao said that Sister Ying organized a women's team to exchange and buy things with the caravan, and brought people to build a place for them to live. She also said that Sister Ying asked about her...

Su Xinyi couldn't help but think of Sister Ying. When she was in Yulinwei, she also helped a lot. She was straightforward and neat. It was really not surprising that she took the lead in doing this.

Putting down Tian Zao's letter, he read Mu Xing's letter again, which was a completely different style. It was full of complaints. How strong was the snow and wind on the grassland, how cold it was, and he almost died there.

Su Xinyi's mouth twitched when he thought of Mu Xing's personality. It would be good if he could believe one out of ten of his complaints.

He was born as a killer, and he was best at endurance. If one day their caravan really encountered an insurmountable obstacle, he would be the one with the most hope and ability to survive.

Su Xinyi knew everything they had encountered on the grassland from Mu Xing's letter. They were surrounded by packs of wild wolves, and the caravan's carriage was stuck in the snow. They had to push the car behind them, shouting that their hands were about to freeze off.

They did meet herdsmen, but the first herdsmen they met actually wanted to swallow up their caravan, so there was a big battle in the snowy night. Several people in the caravan were seriously injured, and countless were slightly injured. Fortunately, they brought enough medicine, otherwise they would have to die there.

Finally, the letter was attached with a piece of kraft paper, on which was also a map, but this map was more detailed than the one Su Deng gave her, with many small roads marked on it.

Mu Xing was good at hiding and exploring. He must have been to more places than Su Deng. After all, Su Deng had to take care of the caravan, but Mu Xing was in charge of exploring.

Su Xinyi curled her lips. It seemed that Mu Xing had carried out her instructions to him. Even if he complained again, he had done his job.

Su Xinyi put away the kraft map and Su Deng's copy. Maybe they would be useful in the future.

Finally, she was given a thick detailed booklet, which contained all the items that the caravan exchanged with the people on the grassland, including gold, silver, jewelry, fur, horses, cattle, sheep, etc.

The most valuable things on the grassland are cattle and sheep. They are the reliance of the herdsmen's lives and are indispensable. It is normal to trade cattle and sheep. After all, every herdsman raises a lot of them.

In general, this trip was not very fruitful because it was winter, but it could not be said that there was no harvest. Moreover, because of the heavy snow blocking the road and the robbery, the caravan needed to reorganize and could not go further. After exchanging the goods, they returned to Yulinwei to rest.

Su Deng's letter said that the caravan would send some people to the south to collect the goods, and they would go out again after collecting all the things.

Su Xinyi breathed a sigh of relief. It was a good thing to be able to come back safely, and her heart was completely settled.

She took Su Deng's cousin's letter to her grandfather for review. After reading it, the old man said: "It seems that this road is feasible. Don't act on your own first, wait for the news from the prince and King Rong."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Grandfather is right. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely report this matter to the emperor, and my granddaughter will not act on her own."

Anyway, Su Xinyi didn't say anything else. As for the map drawn by Mu Xing himself, with his character, he would never let anyone know, nor would he share it with others. That cowhide map must be unique.

As for whether the people from the Crown Prince and Prince Rong would have someone capable to draw a more detailed one, Su Xinyi naturally wouldn't know.

Anyway, the three families are in partnership, so they can just show their abilities.

After leaving her grandfather's place, Su Xinyi was called by her stepmother. When she heard that she was going to accompany Su Xixian to see the bride, she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I have nothing to do tomorrow anyway, I'll just accompany my fifth sister to relax."

By the way, take a look at the famous Yin Qianhu, after all, her third uncle praised him a lot.

The fourth lady looked at Xinyi and said with a smile: "Now is a good time for an outing. You may meet a lot of familiar and friendly people. Don't be surprised when the time comes."

Anyway, the fourth lady will not tell her daughter about the bridegrooming now, and see if Xinyi has a good impression of the son of the Jiang family or the son of the Xiang family. It's not too late to talk after seeing it.

Su Xinyi didn't realize the deep meaning of her stepmother, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I promise to behave myself and not cause trouble tomorrow."

Fourth Madam: ...

Fourth Madam was not very reassured, so she decided to go with her. The next day, when Su Xinyi saw her mother in the carriage, she was a little surprised. She heard her mother say, "I have nothing to do at home anyway, so I'll go for an outing too."

Su Xinyi was naturally happy, and hugged her mother's arm and said, "If I had known you were going, I would have gone there early this morning to have breakfast with you."

Fourth Madam patted Xinyi's hand, "It was also a temporary decision, otherwise I would have told you earlier."

Su Xinyi was very happy. She was willing to accompany her stepmother to walk around. In her previous life, she was stuck in the mud and powerless at the beginning. When she stood up later, her stepmother was already in poor health. Not to mention traveling around, it was very difficult to go out.

Now, being able to go outing and enjoy the scenery with her mother happily is really a happy thing for her.

It is a joy that makes her feel relieved and satisfied.

The place where they met was on the grass by the river. At this time, many families had set up sheds on the grass. When they got off the carriage, Su Xinyi was shocked, "So many people?"

Fourth Madam was also a little surprised. What was going on?

The third lady got off the carriage in front with Su Xixian. The third lady was nervous. She didn't see her sister-in-law and nephew at first glance. She was in a particularly tangled mood. When she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, she saw her sister-in-law talking and laughing with Madam Jiang from a distance, followed by the children of the two families.

The third lady opened her mouth, this... felt very strange.

"Xinyi!"

Su Xinyi heard someone calling her, turned her head and looked back, and saw Zhu Chanyi and others waving at her from a distance.

Su Xinyi rarely didn't know what expression she should put on at this moment, and she felt that there were too many acquaintances today.
