Time flies.
Another two months passed in the blink of an eye.
It snowed heavily overnight, and the entire Kyoto put on new clothes.
In the Lin Mansion, the servants were sweeping the snow, and the little girl was teasing little Susu. The little guy was wrapped like a rice dumpling, and his white and tender face was flushed.
From time to time it makes babbling sounds.
"Little Susu, do you want to eat it? This thing is delicious."
The little girl was holding a long red strip.
In the other hand is a whole package of long strips, beautifully packaged, with four big characters written on it: Susu Spicy Strips
Take one bite.
The little girl couldn't help but roared twice, slapped her pink tongue, and then continued to eat the spicy strips. It was a joy to eat them, and said in her mouth: "Little Susu, these are the spicy strips invented by your father for you. It's a pity that , you can’t eat it yet.”
"Auntie, eat it first for you, hehe!!"
Maybe the little guy saw that his aunt was enjoying the food so much that he kept grabbing it with both hands, babbling in his mouth, and drooling into threads.
"Second Miss, you are teasing little Susu again."
Caiyun quickly stepped forward and helped little Susu wipe her saliva.
The little girl smiled and turned to look at Su Mingyue who was busy at the side, "Sister, is it true that my brother-in-law won't come back to celebrate the New Year? It's so boring."
Su Mingyue didn't even raise her head, "You're still not interested. Your brother-in-law has sent so many delicious food to you."
The little girl snorted: "It's not for me. The Susu spicy strips and Susu potato chips are all named after little Susu. They are all for his precious son."
Su Mingyue smiled and said: "It's not easy for you."
The little girl pursed her lips, thought for a moment and said, "Forget about Susu spicy strips and potato chips. Sister, who is the old godmother? Does my brother-in-law have another old godmother?"
"How did I not hear it being said."
"But Lao Gan Ma's bibimbap is really delicious."
"How come my brother-in-law has such a big brain? Why do he have so many weird things?"
Su Mingyue couldn't help but raise her head when she heard this.
It seems that she is also wondering who her husband's Lao Godmother is.
"Sister Mingyue..."
At this time, Xiaojiu's voice suddenly came from outside the door.
The little girl hurriedly hid the spicy sticks in her hand, and even licked her fingers. Her brother-in-law told her that Xiaojiu couldn't eat such irritating food because of her illness.
He said: "Xiaojiu, why are you here? It's such a snowy day."
Xiaojiu entered the room, looking a little unhappy.
"What's wrong?"
Su Mingyue was also a little curious.
Xiaojiu looked at her and said, "Sister Mingyue, when will brother Qingfeng come back? Can you ask him to come back early?"
Su Mingyue was stunned for a moment, "Xiaojiu, did something happen?"
Xiao Jiu pursed her lips and said, "Someone from the palace came, saying that they want the imperial sister to choose a candidate for marriage as soon as possible. My father also sent someone to say that we can't keep delaying like this..."
It has been more than four months since Gu Ling'er came to Lichao. If you include the journey, it has been five months.
Normally, they should have gotten married a long time ago.
But now there is no movement at all.
Su Mingyue knew that Gu Ling'er had been dragging her down because of Xiaojiu's illness, and His Majesty didn't force it too much due to some reasons.
But this time, why suddenly...
Soon, she understood because Yan Ruxue was here.
"I heard that it's because of the Queen Mother. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the Queen Mother's health is getting worse and worse. What the Queen Mother wants to see most is the wedding of the Fourth Prince and the Seventh Princess. I have mentioned this several times to Your Majesty."
"Your Majesty said that my husband has important state affairs to deal with and will not be back for a while."
"The Queen Mother said that the fourth prince and Princess Tianwu can get married first."
The Queen Mother had no idea what was going on. During the Mid-Autumn Festival dinner, she mistakenly thought that Gu Ling'er was Zhu Zhen's future princess.
After all, both of them have the same status.
Of course, the most important point is that the old man's favorites are Zhu Zhen and Zhu Ziyan, so he naturally hopes that everything good will go to them.
Yan Ruxue continued: "In such a situation as the Queen Mother, Your Majesty probably won't be able to say anything, so..."
Su Mingyue thought for a while and asked, "How's it going in the southwest?"
Yan Ruxue said: "There was the latest news yesterday, saying that the construction of the first highway is about to be completed, and a steady stream of businessmen are pouring in. The situation is very good. It is the most critical moment. I am afraid that my husband will not be able to come back in a while. "
She paused and then said, "Besides, it won't be of any use even if my husband comes back, right?"
Both women are not stupid, they have already seen Gu Ling'er's thoughts.
Letting your personal escort and baby brother accompany your husband on adventures is enough to explain a lot.
However, the other party is a married princess.
Even if my husband comes back...
Su Mingyue shook her head, "No matter what, tell your husband! After all, she helped him a lot and indirectly saved the second and third children."
"good!"
Yan Ruxue also nodded.
…
Guiling Pier.
Compared to a few months ago, this place is completely different, with ships coming and going, businessmen, tourists and students from all over the place.
There are still two months left in Enke, and students from all over the country don't care whether they are old or not. For scholars, the imperial examination is undoubtedly the most important.
At this time, the entire pier was bustling with people.
Seeing this lively scene, a caravan that had just disembarked, led by a young man, had an incredible look in his eyes.
He was dressed in brocade clothes and had a noble temperament. He was accompanied by several followers, all of whom had sharp eyes.
"Is this Guiling? I came here a year ago. It was deserted and deserted at that time. It didn't look like this at all."
Said a follower beside the noble young master.
At this time, behind the noble master, a middle-aged man with a big belly and a shrewd businessman in his eyes came up, "Things are different now. Lin Qingfeng came out of Li Chao to promote the development of the southwest. In just a few months, Li Chao The southwest has undergone earth-shaking changes.”
That's right!
This group of people is not from Lichao, but from Dali.
The middle-aged man's name is Wang Baifu. He is a well-known businessman in Dali. He has been cooperating with the Southwest. He came here more than a month ago when he heard that there were big changes in the Southwest.
And I bought a lot of goods back to Dali, and the results were extremely popular.
No, I'm here again this time, and I want to buy more goods.
As for the noble son, he is Duan Weifeng, the eldest son of the famous Zhenbei King of Dali. The Zhenbei King is second only to the Dali Emperor in Dali. He has a high position and has been guarding the southwest area.
It was precisely because of him that Li Chao had to sign some unequal agreements and pay tribute every year.
"Hmph! What nonsense, Lin Qingfeng is just a scholar, compared with the prince..."
"Well?"
Duan Weifeng's eyes darkened.
The attendant realized something was wrong and quickly changed his words, "Compared with...compared with the Young Master, he is nothing."
"..."
"Brother! Come and see, what kind of mirror is this? It can see so clearly, and this, it smells so good! What is soap?"
"Haha! Canned fruits are my favorite. This, this, and this, I want them all."
At a stall not far from the pier, a girl of fifteen or sixteen years old waved to Duan Weifeng and shouted to the vendor.
