Chapter 69 The big red sedan chair
In the inn in Sitong Town, Hong Liyu returned to the room and asked the waiter to fill the bathtub in the room with hot water. Although he helped Su Lin find Dong Zijin's whereabouts, he couldn't be happy.
"If Su Lin really finds Dong Zijin in Yue Kingdom in the future, but finds that he is no longer the original Dong Zijin, wouldn't he be...ah!"
Hong Liyu sighed, then slowly took off the children's gown on her body, took off the demon spirit jade on her chest, returned to her original graceful figure, and then touched the appropriate water temperature in the bathtub, moved her two cute rabbit ears, and stepped into it, taking a comfortable hot bath to relieve her fatigue.
The mist in the room gradually rose, and Hong Liyu sprinkled the "mandala petals" unique to the Jade Rabbit tribe in the bathing water, soaking it in it can further cover up the demonic aura on her body. There is no big problem in this Sitong Town. If you enter the Wu Kingdom in the Pass and be seen through by the Confucian scholars above the Great Confucianism, it will be dangerous.
"Hey! I finally know why Aunt Jiang chose to abandon her saint's duty and would rather stay with a human Confucian scholar..."
While patting the warm bathing water, Hong Liyu had a lot of thoughts. She remembered Su Lin's enthusiasm for crushing the holy bricks in the Great Wall, and also remembered Su Lin's love for writing "Yanqiu Ci" in the misty forest. She couldn't bear to see Su Lin's depressed will now be because of Dong Zijin.
"My father once said that the way human race cultivates thoughts runs through the seven emotions and six desires. Feelings are the foundation of human race, but it is also the weakness of human race. But if our demon race also learns the human race's thoughts, we will also be tired of emotions in the end... I have just opened up my wisdom now, but I have already experienced these love-hate entanglements of human race's feelings. If I really get involved in it in the future, I am afraid that I will also follow the footsteps of Aunt Jiang, right?"
When Hong Liyu was thinking rationally about his current state of mind and situation, suddenly the door of the room was pushed open from outside. Su Lin ran in excitedly, waved a letter in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Li Yu, it turns out that what you said is true. Zi Jin is really in Yue Kingdom, and he is safe and sound..."
"Ah! Su Lin, go out..."
Hong Liyu, who forgot to lock the door, hurriedly hid in the bathtub and shouted to Su Lin with a scream.
Su Lin also realized that he was wrong and quickly left the room and apologized: "Li Yu, I'm sorry! I was so happy that I forgot to knock on the door and broke in. I didn't expect you to bathe in it, and the water vapor was so big that I couldn't see anything. Besides, we are all men, and it would be okay if I saw it. But by the way, it's really not that I deliberately said that you look like a woman. If I hadn't touched your breasts before, I'd really think that I accidentally saw the beauty in the bath? Hehe..."
Su Lin, who retreated outside and closed the door again, now had the intention of joking with Hong Liyu, and did not leave first, and stood outside the room and talked with Hong Liyu through the door.
"Hu... Wu said nonsense! Su Lin, if you make fun of me as a woman, I will break up with you." Hong Liyu quickly put on the demon spirit jade, hurriedly wiped the water stains on his body, came out of the bathtub, put on Tongsheng's blue shirt, opened the door, stared at Su Lin, and said, "What did you say just now? How can you be sure that Dong Zijin is really in Yueguo?"
"Li Yu, read this letter."
Su Lin handed the letter in his hand to Hong Liyu, and his original decadent appearance was gone forever.
"Zi Jin appears in Yue Kingdom, everything is fine. Please don't worry about Brother Su Lin."
Hong Liyu opened the letter, and there was only one short sentence on it, and said strangely, "There is only such a letter, Su Lin, how can you be sure that some Confucian scholars forged it to deceive you?"
"The handwriting on it is indeed Zi Jin's, I can be sure. And according to the Jinshi, this letter was given by a Confucian scholar from the border of Yue Kingdom, and he was given a thousand taels of silver to send to Sitong Town."
Su Lin nodded with great certainty and said, "Li Yu, didn't you say before that there was news that Zi Jin arrived in Yue Kingdom? Now, as long as I confirm that Zi Jin is safe and sound, I must sneak into Yue Kingdom to find her if I find an opportunity."
"Well! Since that's the case, Su Lin, you can't be depressed. You must study hard. As long as you have the position of a juren, you can find a way to follow the merchant team and sneak into Yue Kingdom."
Although Hong Liyu was surprised by the origin of this letter, he couldn't help but smile happily when he saw that Su Lin was no longer depressed.
"I will definitely do it. Li Yu, let's go back to the city tomorrow! There is less than a month left to take the imperial examination. I plan to pass the scholar as quickly as possible. Therefore, I must go back to the imperial court to report immediately, otherwise if I miss the opportunity to register, I will have to wait until next year."
Su Lin, who was cheering up, had his own plans in his heart, and the mansion examination was about to be held. Although he had just won the first child in the case, he was full of confidence in taking the exam for the scholar.
"Okay, I have sent a letter to my uncle today to tell him about our situation and will return to the pass tomorrow." Hong Liyu nodded, looked at Su Lin who was excited and thought to himself that this was the Su Lin in his heart.
After a night, Su Lin slept very peacefully. In his dream, he seemed to have returned to the days when Dong Zijin was by his side to read and write. Although he was very stupid at that time and had not even opened his wisdom, Dong Zijin never looked down on him and still had full expectations for him. That feeling was very warm and nostalgic.
"Zi Jin, wait for me! I will definitely use my best efforts to pass the imperial examination, and then find a way to get into Yue Kingdom to find you."
When he woke up in the morning, Su Lin found that his thoughts were more condensed. This was a kind of thing that could be broken and established. Yesterday, because he was worried about Dong Zijin, he felt that his self-abilities were limited, his will was depressed, his spirit was depressed, and his thoughts began to become unconfident. But after that, with Dong Zijin's whereabouts and news, Su Lin cheered up again and understood that he had to work hard to strengthen and strengthen his own strength to have the strength to protect the people he loved around him.
Before leaving Sitong Town, Su Lin took out a piece of the meteorite found and sold it to the Yuan family's Zhenbao Building. The shopkeeper Yuan Xing couldn't stop laughing and gave Su Lin a high price of 600,000 taels of silver. Su Lin was so at ease that he bought the silver and spent another 100,000 taels to buy a Qiankun bag to accommodate the meteorite and some debris. Now that the fog and rain forest is destroyed, the price of meteorite is expected to increase several times in the future, so the meteorite in the Yuan family's Zhenbao Building only accepts or not.
At the same time, Su Lin also learned from Yuan Xing that after Yuan Mu knew that he was not dead, he waited for him in Fengle County. He still had eleven fog rain elves in his hand to hand him over. Although the price of fog rain elves has increased to 200,000 taels of silver, it is far less than the value of the heart stone. Su Lin valued more that the fog rain elves can be exchanged for fame from the government.
After saying goodbye to Yuan Xing, the boss of the Yuan family, Su Lin and Hong Liyu secretly left Sitong Town. He was afraid that he would be intercepted and asked for inscriptions by a large number of Confucian scholars along the road.
After passing the Great Wall, Hong Liyu hesitated for a moment, then said goodbye to Su Lin and said, "Su Lin, I will not go back to Fengle County together. My uncle has given me another order, so let's say goodbye, goodbye to the palace."
"Okay! Li Yu, thank you for your care for me during this period. You are my good brother, I didn't say anything. After our court, we will take the exam for scholars together!"
He bowed and said goodbye to Hong Liyu, and Su Lin also rode his horse and whipped it quickly to Fengle County.
"I haven't returned for several days, and I don't know how Ru'er is doing at home? Hehe! The trial outside the pass is full of dangers, but this time the harvest is abundant. Not to mention the karma of the half-saint bones and thousands of tears, the meteorites harvested by them are very valuable. However, the meteorites are now a scarce treasure, which can assist the Jinshi to advance to the Grand Secretary. The unscrupulous merchants in Sitong Town are hoarding, so I will naturally not take action easily. Besides, now I have 500,000 taels of silver notes and the holy power is as high as fourteen yuan. Even an ordinary scholar is not as good as me..."
Before leaving, Su Lin was just a student of the case who had not opened up Zhihai. Now that he has returned, he has already gained the strength of a holy brick comparable to that of an ordinary scholar. However, in just a few days, Su Lin has grown so much.
At this time, Zhao Shuang from Zhao's mansion was dressed in the groom's uniform, waiting to marry Su Ru, a concubine. However, at this time, a servant from Huang's mansion rushed over and informed him: "Young Master Zhao, Young Master Zhao! No, my eldest master asked me to tell you that Su Lin is likely not dead, and... Now you can write a poem about the country. Let you meet Su Lin again, and don't provoke him again."
"What? Su Lin was not dead? The poem of the country? This... is trouble now!" Zhao Shuang was shocked, and then made up her mind and immediately ordered her to say, "Hurry! Zhao Si, go and urge Su Liu, Su Mansion, don't wait for the auspicious time. Let her set off now and quickly ask someone to carry a sedan chair to send Su Ru to my Zhao Mansion to marry me. We must hurry up and cook the rice before Su Lin comes back, and I will call him brother-in-law, see how Su Lin can stand up to me? If he can make Su Lin angry and Zhihai lose money, it would be even better! By the way, you must not let Su Liu know that Su Lin is not dead, otherwise she would not dare to marry Su Ru to me as a concubine even if she borrowed Su Liu's 100 courage!"
Zhao Si hurriedly ran to the Su Mansion to inform him. Su Liu did not suspect that he was there, so he asked someone to tie up Su Ru who was resisting, carried it into a big red sedan chair, left the Su Mansion, and went to the Zhao Mansion along the way.
"It seems that the evil woman Su Liu is a good woman, and it is not in vain that the head of Su's case forgives her crime. Now the head of Su's case unfortunately dies outside the pass. Su Liu is afraid that Su Ru is alone, so he finds her a good family. If the head of Su's case knows her, he can still keep his eyes open."
"Yes! Even if you can marry the mansion of the Zhao family, the eight major Confucian families in the Wu Kingdom, you will enjoy endless blessings even if you are a concubine!"
"That's it! It's a blessing to be a concubine of Mr. Zhao. Mr. Zhao's wife must at least have a daughter of Hanlin or a Grand Secretary, right?"
"But it seems that it's not auspicious time now? Why did the Su Mansion lift the sedan chair out so early?"
...
The big red sedan chair was blowing and beating, and Fengle County became lively in an instant. The villagers pointed at the big red sedan chair and talked a lot. Su Liu deliberately made people make the news, making the villagers feel that Su Liu was a good man this time. In order to atone for his sins, he tried his best to find a good family for Su Ru.
However, just as the big red sedan chair reached the intersection of the East Street, a maroon-red horse galloped over, and Su Lin on the horse's back heard the noise of gongs and drums from afar.
