Chapter 153 Outing
In the Marquis' Mansion, Su Li was extremely busy.
The caravan from the south just returned to Beijing the day before yesterday.
Qian Da is the leader of the caravan. He is nearly thirty years old and is very strong. Years of wind and sun have made his skin dark and shiny, and he looks like a very strong man.
At this moment, he was standing in front of the office, reporting on his work:
"Madam, the weather is favorable today, and the tea plants Young Master Su bought in the south have all had a good harvest. The tea leaves have all been processed according to the techniques Madam instructed, and have now been shipped to Beijing and stored."
"This time, we also brought back the silk and cloth that the young master had agreed to, as well as medicinal herbs and other items. The entire account is here."
Su Li looked at them one by one and found the accounts clear and well organized.
"Alright, put it all into the warehouse. Manager Qian and the caravan brothers have worked hard. Go to the accounting office and get 100 taels of silver as a reward."
Qian Da's face lit up with joy and he quickly thanked him.
Previously, all of Pei Heng's assets were managed by the Marquis' wife, and Qian Da would report to her whenever he returned from a caravan. Clearly, the caravans brought the Marquis's family considerable profits each year, but every time she came back to report, the Marquis' wife was stingy and never mentioned any rewards.
Sometimes, we even criticize them for not doing their job well.
He and his brothers have been dissatisfied for a long time.
Unexpectedly, after the division of the family business, the general's wife not only had vision and courage in doing business, and could calculate the accounts clearly, but she was also so courageous and considerate of the people.
One move costs one hundred taels.
This family is well divided!
Qian Da secretly made up his mind to follow his wife well.
"It's almost October now. Manager Qian and the other brothers don't need to rush south yet. Rest in Beijing for a while and we'll talk after the New Year and the beginning of spring."
"Thank you, Madam."
Manager Qian thanked him profusely and left.
After Su Li finished dealing with business matters, he finally took the time to look at Song Zhi who had just entered the room and asked:
"what's up?"
Songzhi handed over the post in her hand and said:
"The maid from the Marquis's Mansion just delivered an invitation. She said the Ninth Princess's farm had a great harvest and invited the Madam and her family to visit the farm."
"Nine princesses?"
"Yes, the person who came said that the Ninth Princess had just recovered from a serious illness and wanted to stay at the farm for a few days to relax." Songzhi said.
"Yeah. It's true that I haven't seen her for a while. Coincidentally, I also want to go to the farm to check on the harvest. So, go back to the Marquis' Mansion and invite Ci'er along. Ci'er hasn't been feeling well lately, so it's a good opportunity for us to go enjoy the autumn together."
Su Li told Pei Heng about this in the evening.
Pei Heng asked, "Am I going too?"
"Yes, what's wrong? Is it inconvenient for you?" Su Li hugged Pei Heng's strong waist.
Pei Heng said with difficulty: "Ali, if it was one day earlier, I could do it. But..."
Today the emperor summoned him to the palace and restored his duties. Tomorrow morning he will report to the military camp outside the city.
"Why so sudden?"
"Intelligence from the border says that Beimang is preparing for a diplomatic mission. The emperor is worried about the resurgence of war, so..."
After hearing what Pei Heng said, Su Li felt a little regretful but still said magnanimously:
"It's okay, business matters."
"Ari, I also want to hide away and spend more time with you at home. But with the political situation at home and powerful enemies surrounding us, I can't just turn a blind eye."
"I understand! You are General Pei!"
Su Li hugged Pei Heng tightly and patted his strong back.
As a general's wife, you must have this awareness.
But she really loves Pei Heng.
Just a few days after recovering from his injuries, he had to go back to the battlefield. She was a little afraid to think about the war that would break out again in the future.
In the original novel, Pei Heng died early.
Of course, the subsequent war had nothing to do with him. But now...
She could only say: "Husband, be careful in everything."
"Ok!"
The next morning, Pei Heng got up before dawn.
Su Li didn't want to sleep in either. She jumped up and personally helped Pei Heng wash and dress, and then walked him all the way to the gate of the mansion.
It was just dawn at this time, and servants were waiting by with lanterns.
Pei Heng was wearing armor today, with a sword slung across his waist, looking quite imposing and majestic, completely different from his usual gentle and courteous image. Seeing this, everyone in the general's mansion was filled with excitement.
This is their General Pei.
Su Li's eyes were full of stars, and she wanted to hug him but didn't dare.
After all, there are so many people.
Pei Heng saw through her thoughts and embraced her with his long arms. The cold golden silk soft armor made Su Li's chest feel cold, and then she was kissed on the face.
"You!" Su Li's cheeks flushed with shame. She punched Pei Heng's chest with her pink fist, which hurt from the soft armor. She said angrily, "Everyone is watching!"
Pei Heng grabbed Su Li's hand and chuckled, "I kissed my wife, what's wrong?"
Then he hugged me and whispered, "The Ninth Princess's farm is fifty miles away from the western suburbs military camp. If I finish early today, I will go find you."
Su Li's ears felt hot and she nodded slightly:
"Then be careful on the road."
It's quite like the way modern people send their husbands to work.
Pei Heng reluctantly let go of his wife and mounted the horse. Su Li's heart was moved again by her dashing figure.
She watched Pei Heng and Lian Cheng ride away until they could no longer see their backs, and then she led everyone back to the mansion.
Huan Ge'er and Xi Jie'er had also packed up. After the whole family had breakfast together, they got on the carriage and drove out of the city.
The three families agreed to meet at the city gate.
When Su Li arrived, the carriage from the Yong'an Marquis' Mansion had already arrived.
Song Ci parted the curtain, got out of the carriage and came forward, saying, "Finally you're here. Is it time for breakfast? Mother brought some snacks."
Su Li smiled and said, "I've eaten."
Xi Jie'er on the side said immediately: "Mother, aunt, the child can still come a little more!"
Song Ci smiled and waved, "Come here, auntie will take you to eat in my car."
"it is good!"
As long as Xijie has food to eat, everything will be fine.
At this time, a maid from the Jinyuan Marquis's mansion came running over and said:
"Greetings, ladies. The princess had some morning sickness early in the morning, so I sent this servant to let you know. Please go ahead, the princess will follow."
Su Li glanced at the nanny who served the Marquis' wife. She was about to ask why you came when she heard Song Ci say:
"She's always like this! A lazy donkey trying to get into trouble! Sister, let's go first and plunder her farm and take away all the delicious food and fun things. Don't leave anything for her."
As he said that, he took Xijie'er into the carriage.
The autumn weather is clear and the scenery in the suburbs is pleasant.
Passing through a secluded suburb.
The noise of the city had disappeared from the surroundings, and the outside of the carriage gradually became quiet, with only the sound of the carriage and horses remaining.
In the dense forest, a group of men in black were preparing to take action.
But then he saw a group of dozens of horsemen chasing after the carriage, each with a sword on his waist.
"Boss, what should I do?"
Looking at the dozens of sword-wielding guards on the opposite side, and then looking back at the dozen or so people on his side, the leader pressed his hands helplessly, and everyone knelt down silently.
……
"Hey! Isn't this Madam Su?"
Suddenly a disgusting voice was heard.
Su Li lifted the curtain and saw King Kang waving a jade fan and riding a horse towards him in a gorgeous outfit of shimmering brocade.
Afraid that others would not know how good-looking he was, she pinned a huge flower on her head.
When Su Li heard the voice, her head started buzzing.
Wasn't he scared of the beating at Huguo Temple?
How could she know that Prince Kang had specially sent people to keep an eye on the General's Mansion. When he saw her taking the children out of the city today, Prince Kang followed them without stopping.
I didn’t succeed in getting the Huguo Temple last time, but I must get it this time!
If he doesn't sleep with her, he's a cuckold!
