Chapter 62 Zhao Shuang proposes marriage

The border of the Great Wall of Wu State has surrounded a lot of people, but the scholar Xu Lingxiao is not here. Yesterday, since he witnessed Su Lin's death in the misty forest, he had no intention of staying outside the pass. He rushed back to Fengle County overnight and told his uncle Xu Wenliang about Su Lin's loss.

"Alas! God is so jealous of talent! A genius like Su Censor actually died young and died in the misty forest!"

When the county magistrate Xu Wenliang heard this, he was filled with sadness. He wiped a few tears and called the county magistrate Li Ting and sighed, "Mr. Li, go to the warehouse of the government office to get a thousand taels of silver. This is the court reward for the poem "Autumn Ci" from Mingzhou last time. I wanted to wait until the trial outside the pass ends, and I handed it to the head of Su Case, but who knew... Alas! I'm afraid that the Su family didn't know about this, so we could only inform the bad news in a reluctant way."

After inviting the county magistrate Li Ting to get the money, the county magistrate Xu Wenliang came to the Su Mansion again. At this time, the Su Mansion was relatively deserted and lonely. Su Liu and Su Wen moved out with a group of slaves, leaving only his sister Su Ru guarding the huge Su Mansion. Although there is no shortage of silver and money, Su Ru has the good habit of being frugal, so she did not buy furniture or decorations. The entire Su Mansion showed an empty heart-wrenching feeling.

"Miss Su...oh...I'm here to disturb me again."

As soon as he walked into the Su Mansion and looked at the desolate scene, the county magistrate Xu Wenliang's heart sank even more and his face became more sad.

"Mr. County Magistrate! The little woman has not been welcomed, so I ask the county Magistrate to forgive me. Later, Ru'er will go to make tea for the master..."

Su Ru was embroidering in the yard and bought the brocade. She had to hurry up and stab her brother Su Lin in a good body of Tongshengwen's uniform before she came back. Seeing that the county magistrate Xu Wenliang suddenly visited, she was about to get up to make tea for him, but Xu Wenliang sighed, waved his hand, and then said in a heartless manner: "Ms. Su, I am here... I am here... to tell Miss Su that he... He was in the trial of the mist and rain forest outside the pass, unfortunately... unfortunately died..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Ru's brocade that had just been embroidered halfway in her hand fell to the ground.

Xu Lingxiao was not the only one who passed the news of Su Lin's death back to Fengle County. The first time Zhao Shuang's cousin Huang Tong learned about Su Lin's death, he sent Zhao's slave Zhao Si to rush back to Fengle County overnight.

Zhao Si rushed back without stopping, ran to Zhao Shuang in one breath, and hurriedly said, "Die! Dead... The eldest son, Su Lin is dead!"

"What? Zhao Si, do you say Su Lin is dead? My uncle really killed Su Lin?" Zhao Shuang, who was tasting, squirted out in one bite, wiped the corner of her mouth, and said in surprise.

"No...No...the eldest son, the second master was dragged by the Su family editor, and there was no chance to do it..." Zhao Si said breathlessly.

"That... was my cousin Huang Tong's hand? He killed Su Lin with a famous sophistry?"

"None of them! The eldest son, yes... Su Lin himself broke into the mist forest. The heart of the fallen heart broke out and everyone else escaped. But Su Lin forced himself into it, and finally the entire mist forest of the mist forest exploded. Su Lin must have been torn to pieces!"

"No?" Zhao Shuang was stunned for a moment, then laughed loudly and said, "Then Su Lin dared to break into the Storm of the Heart of the Moon. Haha! Even if the Grand Secretary's Literature is in the process of entering, he will die without death. He is going to die by himself! If he dies well, he doesn't need my Zhao family to take action. Then Su Lin is looking for death by himself!"

The news of Su Lin's death from the slave family is a great news for Zhao Shuang! His originally damaged Zhihai seemed to have recovered a little, which is the effect of enlightenment.

"Congratulations to the eldest son, Su Lin, who dared to oppose the eldest son, will definitely kill himself. This time, the second master was pestered by the Su Xiu clerk of the Su family and could not do anything outside the pass. Young Master Huang Tongbiao was repeatedly frustrated in front of Su Lin. But who would have thought that Su Lin would go deep into the mist forest, asking for money but not life. In the end, the mist forest exploded, and he would die!"

Zhao Si, the slave who came back to report, bowed to please Zhao Shuang and said in detail. Zhao Shuang was even more happy after hearing this. She threw him more than a dozen taels of broken silver at will, and said with a smile: "Yes! It's just a pity that Su Lin, a poor man, dares to fight me, Zhao Shuang, even if this young master doesn't take action, he will never end up. It's just a pity that he can't avenge himself and let Su Lin die in my hands is a pity!"

"Thank you, my eldest son! However, if the eldest son wants to take revenge in person, the young man has a good idea, which will definitely make the eldest son vent his anger."

After receiving the reward, the slave Zhao Si happily hurriedly put the silver away. His eyes turned, but he had some idea and flattered with a sneering smile.

"Oh? Zhao Si, what are you thinking? If it is true as you said, I will definitely be rewarded!"

Zhao Shuang would not have the time to have so much fun saying to a slave, but today she was in a great mood, so she asked with such interest.

"Young Master, although Su Lin is dead, you can't vent your anger. But Su Lin has a sister named Su Ru. If the eldest master can come to propose marriage and marry Su Ru home as a concubine. The enemy's sister has suffered all the humiliation under his crotch, wouldn't it feel more refreshing than killing Su Lin?"

The slave Zhao Si was full of bad water on weekdays. Now he had an idea for his master, just to pick it up. He had long noticed Su Ru, the petite and beautiful lady of the Su Mansion. He had secretly ran to the door of the Su Mansion to peek at Su Ru in front of the Su Mansion to watch Su Ru wash and cook. Now that there is such a good opportunity, Zhao Si of course wanted to instigate Zhao Shuang to marry Su Ru back as a concubine. Maybe Zhao Si can also get a share of the pie!

"Su Lin's sister Su Ru? Haha! Good idea! Good idea! Zhao Sier, why didn't I find that you have so many ideas before?"

Hearing Zhao Si's plan, Zhao Shuang couldn't help laughing, but after thinking about it for a while, she frowned again, saying, "But the idea is good, I'm afraid that the Su family will definitely not marry Su Ru to me as a concubine when they know the gap between Su Lin and me. I can't marry him forcibly, right?"

"Grand Prince, what's the problem? It wasn't rumor before. Did Su Lin and his stepmother Su Liu go to court? If Su Liu hadn't been for the filial piety of his son Su Wen, he would have been imprisoned. Although Su Lin generously forgave Su Liu, he must have been jealous of Su Lin. Now that Su Lin is dead, the Su family must be Su Liu and his son Su Wen. As long as the eldest prince prepares a similar betrothal gift to go to Su Liu, it would be easy to marry Su Ru as a concubine?"

A family slave like Zhao Si is usually serious and not serious about the market, but he is aware of some rumors and gossip in the market. He has long been familiar with the Su family's affairs. Now he has given Zhao Shuang advice, like a treacherous military advisor.

"Okay! Very good! Very wonderful! Just do this, Zhao Si, go and tell the housekeeper that he will get a thousand taels of silver from the warehouse. I will take a concubine!"

Zhao Shuang was full of energy and was in a very relaxed mood. When she left the door, she asked Zhao Si to take him to find Su Liu.

At this time, Su Liu was lying in the wing of his parents' Liu family alone. Yesterday, Su Wen sent his biological flesh and blood to the Liu Family Clan School in Jiaozhou to study, leaving only her alone and dared not go anywhere, because as soon as she went out, the villagers would poke her back and point fingers and call her a bad woman.

"It's all this little bastard Su Lin! Otherwise, I wouldn't have fallen into this field, and I wouldn't even dare to leave the door! The sisters who are close to each other on weekdays dare not interact with me."

Although Su Lin forgives Su Liu, Su Liu is not grateful at all. He is still a poisonous woman in his bones, and he is cursing Su Lin with gritted teeth.

But at this moment, the servants of the Liu family hurriedly pushed the door and reported: "Miss! There is... the eldest son of the Zhao family is here to visit you!"

"The eldest son of the Zhao family? I don't know any eldest son of the Zhao family, so why did I come to Liu's family to find me?"

Su Liu held his head lazily, his eyes were glossy, and he said impatiently.

"I don't know, but... Mr. Zhao said that there is good news to bring to the eldest lady!" said the servant truthfully.

"Good news? What can be considered good news for me now? For nothing! For nothing! Now even my close friends are unwilling to see me. This ignorant Zhao family eldest son is not afraid of interacting with me, a vicious woman, let's go and have a look!"

When Su Liu came to the main hall slowly and saw Zhao Shuang, he remembered that Zhao Shuang seemed to be enemies of Su Lin, and then he remembered what the servant said just now. Zhao Shuang had good news to him, so he had a premonition and had some energy. He smiled at Zhao Zhi and said, "The civilian woman has seen Master Zhao, but I don't know that Master Zhao came to look for the civilian woman. What's the matter?"

"Madam Su! Actually, this young master came here to propose marriage. He wanted to marry Su Ru of Su's mansion as his concubine. Here is a silver betrothal gift of 1,000 taels, so please accept it."

Zhao Shuang was straightforward and handed over the silver notes of 1,000 taels to Su Liu. On the contrary, Su Liu refused helplessly: "Young Master Zhao should give up this idea! Although the civilian woman is a dying man in the Su Mansion, she has left the Su Mansion and returned to her father's house to live. No matter how big or small the Su Mansion is, let alone Su Ru's marriage matter! Now the head of the Su Mansion is Su Linsu's case, and with Su Lin there, Mr. Zhao may not be able to get what he wants."

"Haha! Madam Su, what if Su Lin is gone? Isn't Madam Su just rightly able to make the decision?" Zhao Shuang laughed and said very happily, "Madam Su, you probably don't know yet, right? Su Lin is already dead in the misty forest of fog and rain trials outside the pass. He is really a sin! Now I, Zhao Shuang, insist on marrying his sister as a concubine, so that he can't die with his eyes open. Please help Mrs. Su!"

"What? Mr. Zhao, what did you say? That little bastard Su Lin died?" Su Liu was stunned at first when he heard this, and then he was ecstatic. The depression in his heart for many days was completely gone. He never delayed the 1,000 taels of silver handed over by Zhao Shuang. He immediately agreed with a smile: "No problem! It's covered by the civilian woman. Su Ru, that dead girl, I have long wanted to marry her. Being able to marry a wealthy noble like Mr. Zhao as a concubine is a blessing she has cultivated for several lifetimes!"

After saying that, after Zhao Shuang left, Su Liu quickly asked someone to pack his luggage and called the servants of the former Su Mansion. He shouted arrogantly like a flower rooster with his head held high, "Go back to Su Mansion! Su Lin is a little bastard who dies, and Su Mansion is still my mother after all."

At this time, Su Lin and Hong Liyu were searching all the valuable remaining materials and treasures in the mist and rain forest into the Qiankun bag. Then, seeing that it was getting late, they rushed back to Sitong Town. Because the horses were lost, the two could only rely on their feet to travel. Even with the blessing of the holy power magic, it was much slower. By the time they arrived at Sitong Town, it was already on the branch of the moon.

However, there were still crowds of people in Sitong Town. Su Lin and Hong Liyu saw a large number of Confucian scholars riding horses back from the direction of the pass, and almost each of them held a piece of rubbing paper in their hands. After getting off the horse, they couldn't help but look at them carefully again. As they looked, they burst out loud praise from time to time. Then they seemed to be constantly showing off something to the Confucian scholars in the city, with a proud face that was bragging, as if they had obtained some rare treasures.
