After Su Xun left, the two went back to tidy up, and then left the Imperial City in a carriage. When the gate of Guiyan City was closed the next day, they had just passed through Guiyan City and headed for Shiqiao Village.
By the time we returned to the village, it was already dark.
Along the way, Su Wan didn't tell Li Lin about his plans, and Li Lin didn't tell Su Wan about his conversation with Su Xun.
In fact, he mentioned it to Su Xun and asked him if he wanted to follow them to live in Licheng, but Su Xun refused, saying that although Licheng was good, he also had many things that he couldn't let go of.
Su Xun had three children in his life, and he loved and cared for all three of them. He might be partial to the motherless Su Wan, but he could not say that he would give up on the other children.
He has parents, children, and a wife. Even the Jinning Palace has been run there for many years, and the friends he has made for half his life are also here.
For him, the Imperial City is his root.
No matter how much he loves and protects his children, he is even willing to work hard for her and strive to go higher and further to become the person who can protect her, but he is not willing to uproot himself and give up everything.
But even though they didn't say it, the couple seemed to have a better relationship.
He felt guilty that in the future, he would let her follow him far away from his homeland, and it would be rare to see his relatives again, while she felt guilty that she had not been a good wife to him, so she treated him better.
The two had been getting along for a few days, and Su Wan was just thinking about how to tell him that she wanted to learn management, when she received a letter from Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Xie said that there is a house for sale now. It turns out that Mr. Zhitong from Guiyan City is about to expire his term. He has received reliable news that he will be transferred to Lanzhou City, so he wants to sell his house.
The courtyard is a three-in-one courtyard, not too big, but not too small either. It has a back seat, a main house, a back yard, two cross-yards in the east and west, and a small garden.
Not to mention that Ji Yunpu is still alone now. If he gets married and has children in the future, it will be enough to live there.
Su Wan was very satisfied after reading Mrs. Xie's letter, and asked someone to send a message to Ji Yunpu, saying that she would go to Guiyan City to see Mrs. Xie tomorrow and ask him to come over and take a look at the house.
It's hard to find a good yard like this. Once you get the news, you need to settle on it quickly. Otherwise, if it's too late, it will become someone else's.
However, Su Wan felt that it was not good to go alone, so she asked someone to call her Mrs. Zhou. After all, Mrs. Zhou was Shi Huihua's biological mother. In the future, Shi Huihua and Ji Yunpu got married, and that was where they would live. Yes, it would be more convenient for her to come forward.
When Zhou heard this, she quickly agreed. For this reason, she also took out the good clothes she had hidden, intending to dress herself up to avoid being looked down upon.
On the second day, the two went to Guiyan City together and went directly to Xie's house. When they arrived, Mrs. Xie's daughter-in-law came out to greet them.
Mrs. Xie's daughter-in-law is also a newly married daughter-in-law a few years ago. Her surname is Chen, let's call her Mrs. Chen. She has an oval face and looks very blessed. When she smiles, she is very comfortable.
"My mother-in-law originally wanted to come to greet the princess in person, but something delayed her." Mrs. Chen felt a headache, "Mrs. Sun is crying inside. I don't know what to do about this matter."
"Mrs. Sun?" Su Wan frowned slightly, "How is Mrs. Sun?"
There is nothing that can't be said. Chen sighed: "This year's Spring Festival is cancelled."
"What?" Su Wan was startled. "Why was the Spring Festival canceled? I just came back from the Imperial City a few days ago. Wasn't it fine at that time?"
Calculate carefully, at this time, we are still taking exams, why was it cancelled?
Zhou's face also changed drastically: "Why was it cancelled? What happened?"
In the spring of this year, Shi Huixin also participated. Shi Chongshan had only passed the exam once in his life. After failing the exam three times in Chunwei, he gave up. After that, he settled down to teach at Shiqiao Academy. However, seeing that his son was better than him, he also saw Got some hope.
Zhou also had high hopes for Shi's reply. Now that he learned that Chunwei was cancelled, could he not be anxious?
More importantly, she was afraid that something would happen to Shi Huixin.
Mrs. Chen looked very unhappy and explained helplessly: "I heard that it was a test for Qiu Wei and Spring Wei. It took two days for the Spring Wei test. Someone reported it to Dali Temple. After Dali Temple reported it to His Majesty, they immediately sent someone to investigate the matter. As of yesterday At noon, Chunwei's call to stop was invalidated."
When Zhou heard this, she almost fainted.
Xie Si'an quickly supported her, and then pressed her down to wake her up. Zhou's face turned pale: "So, what about those students in Chunwei?"
Chen shook his head: "It is said that the people who were found were arrested on the spot, and the irrelevant people were let go. It's just that this spring was cancelled."
"That's okay, okay." Mrs. Zhou wished she could recite a few words of God's blessing. She knew the character of her own son, and it was absolutely impossible for him to cheat in the imperial examination.
Although the Spring Festival is canceled this time, it is good that people are safe.
Chen said: "Several students from Hongyan Academy were involved. They are all the proud students of Hongyan Academy. Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun got the news early this morning and came here. Mr. Sun went to see his father-in-law. Madam is now with her mother-in-law."
The Sun family is an aristocratic family. Several generations of people have run Hongyan Academy with great effort and have a very high reputation in Guiyan City. If these proud disciples are involved in the imperial examination cheating case, I am afraid that the reputation of these generations of management will be destroyed. Half ruined.
Therefore, how can the Sun family not be in a hurry? Mrs. Sun is afraid that she will go blind from crying.
Mrs. Xie's natal family is also quite capable in the Imperial City. Mr. Sun and Mrs. Sun couldn't think of any other way but to ask Mrs. Xie.
Mrs. Chen said: "If Mrs. Sun asks the princess for something later, the princess must not accept it. As my mother-in-law said, this matter may be very involved, and she may be involved if she is not careful."
"If it's just to help inquire about things, then it's not a big deal. The main thing is to never agree to help save people."
There is a faint feeling that a storm is coming.
Su Wan looked up at the sky, then nodded: "Young Madam Xie reminded me, I remembered it."
"I'm thinking that the Sun family came today, firstly to ask for help from my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and secondly, I'm afraid it's to ask for help from the princess. When the princess sent someone to deliver a message yesterday, several ladies happened to be guests at the house... ....”
In other words, the news that Su Wan is coming to Xie's house today has spread.
If no one knew about it, the Xie family could have asked Su Wan to avoid this matter, but they already knew that it would be a bit inappropriate for her to avoid it now. She might even be labeled as a timid person who is afraid of getting into trouble. The name of salvation.
Su Wan smiled: "I understand."
