Chapter 271 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (32)
In autumn, there was finally less rain in Shengjing, and the roads were not so muddy for carriages.
Lu Ming, who left the mansion half a day later than others and was leaving the city, sighed helplessly. He finally understood why his master had to leave so quickly.
It seemed that the time of rest had become an excuse for those people to come and visit in groups. Even if one or two of them didn't see anyone, they would still drink three or four cups of tea in the mansion.
In just half a day, he saw that the tea leaves in their mansion would be used up in two days at most.
There was no way. When Sui Hao also ran out, he, as a personal servant, naturally could not stay in the mansion and suffer.
Even if you just close the door for a few days, that would be fine.
Just tell them to wait.
Chu Yinci was grilling the meat, taking out cumin, chili powder and other seasonings from the wooden box he carried with him. He controlled the heat just right and looked extremely serious.
If you didn't look at what he was doing with his hands, you would have thought he was reviewing some important document.
Suihao followed him to learn the skills, and was eager to try it out so that he could bake it for his sister next time.
The wind was quite strong near the lake, so they chose a location for their campsite that was close to the lake and had a slope that could block most of the wind.
It is the best place to rest, and also the best place for people standing on the slope to see the scenery below.
Sui Yu sat on the horse, looking at the two people below who were concentrating on grilling meat with soft eyes, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corners of her lips.
Xia Mochi, who was riding a tall horse next to him, was dragging a sack filled with prey hunted today, enough for them to eat to their heart's content.
Yan Cheng rolled his eyes secretly, secretly hid the pheasant that had been poisoned by him and whose body had turned black, and threw it away after removing the poison.
"Are you hungry, Sui Sui?" The voice suddenly became soft, almost so thin that it could be cooked in a pot.
Sui Yu had just been riding a horse and hunting in the forest, and had worked up a little sweat. She also felt a little empty in her stomach. Upon hearing what he said, she glanced at him and rode her horse down the slope.
"Come on, whoever gets here first gets to eat two pheasants, otherwise you'll starve."
When the shouts of wanton laughter came, Yan Cheng couldn't help but smile.
After exchanging a glance with Xia Mochi, they both tacitly stopped their fight and stopped annoying Sui Sui.
It was rare that she was so happy today. As the people who knew her best (in their opinion), neither of them wanted to spoil her fun.
Such harmonious and beautiful scenes, it doesn’t matter if there are more or longer ones.
......
Sui Yu did not return with her men until the evening of the day before court.
Xia Mochi has been away from home for so many days, so even if he goes back to report, he cannot stay in Sui Mansion for the time being.
Xia Mochi sneaked in through the corner door and turned around, almost scared to death.
"Grandfather, are you trying to scare me to death?" Xia Mochi stroked his chest and breathed out.
Duke Dingguo Xia Shizhao puffed his beard and said, "Who told you to come back so late? You seem to get along so well with that little kid Sui Yu?"
He admired Sui Yu very much, no matter how he dealt with people or how he was magnanimous and broad-minded. If there was anyone in the court who could gain his favor, Sui Yu was the only one.
"We hit it off!" Xia Mochi nodded affirmatively, and as if thinking of something, he leaned closer to Xia Shizhao, "Grandfather, tell me, how did Huai Jin work with you to assist His Majesty in creating this prosperous era of Great Yong?"
"Hmph, that's a long story..."
Xia Shizhao put his hands behind his back, wishing he could tell Xia Mochi all the details.
He spoke so passionately.
Xia Mochi drank a cup of tea and described the scene of Sui Yu's wise debate with the ministers in a moving manner with an exaggeration several times greater than that of his grandfather.
The person sitting at the top felt very uncomfortable.
“Not so many people said it together.” Sui Yu denied.
Xia Mochi waved his hand, confirming what he had just said.
"My grandfather said there must have been. At that time, the ministers were conservative and unwilling to establish new laws. Every year, you single-handedly silenced them."
Sui Hao opened his mouth wide with an exclamation of "Wow" and looked at Sui Yu with admiration.
His sister never reveals her hard work and doesn't like to brag. This is the first time he has heard this!
Needless to say, Yancheng listened to everything about Sui Yu with great interest, and even beautified it in his mind.
Even Chu Yinci couldn't move his hands, attracted by the exceptionally dazzling Sui Yu described by Xia Mochi.
If one person dared to speak, five, six, seven or eight people would listen. In the entire Sui Mansion and Sui Yu's yard, a large group of people gathered, all listening with great interest, and from time to time cast glances of admiration and admiration at him.
Okay, you can say whatever you want, she's gone.
Sui Yu's face flushed as she was about to walk away when Chu Yinci suddenly stopped her. He rubbed her wrist with his fingertips and held her tightly, half-forcefully forcing her to sit down.
"Sui Sui is so amazing and has such a broad mind, so please listen to us carefully."
A low and hoarse voice was speaking in Sui Yu's ear, and the tone was not joking. Chu Yinci looked serious, gentle but would not tolerate rejection.
Sui Yu was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what they were thinking.
She naturally knew how these three people felt about her. Even if she didn't think it was a big deal, they would subconsciously think too much about it.
I wondered if she had endured a lot of hardships to achieve her current success, if she was unhappy when she was young, and if she was timid when facing opposition from her ministers alone...
She knows all this.
That's why they were so fascinated by the stories told by someone who had experienced the same thing as her.
They also told them that Sui Yu was old, but in the end, she was still the youngest among the four, except for Yan Cheng, whose age was unknown.
This also made several people care about her even more.
For example, it has been found out that it was the Fourth Prince and the Li family who scared her horse out of anger and just wanted to take a small revenge.
Not only did Xia Mochi exaggerate her testimony in the court, as if she was about to fall off the carriage and be trampled to death by the horse, but the young master of the Li family had already been put in a sack and beaten four times.
Whenever he left the house, he would be beaten. Even the next day, if he didn't leave the house, his face would be covered with bruises.
They did all this while I was asleep.
As for why Sui Yu knew so much...
The entire Shengjing was buzzing with rumors that the Li family's heir had been exterminated, otherwise why wouldn't he continue to frequent brothels? The Li family's heir had been disfigured, otherwise why wouldn't he continue to flaunt his wealth?
And so on.
As expected, in the battle between political opponents, the most difficult ones are the little devils behind the scenes.
Sui Yu shuddered and sat quietly in her seat listening to Xia Mochi continue to exaggerate her "heroic deeds".
