General, Your Wife Wants You to Get Out - C110

Su Zhi clenched her hands tightly and comforted Dan Xue, “No problem, once we reach the end of the bridge, we will naturally be straight. The heavens will not forbid us from leaving. General will be fine.”

A Jin sat aside, blinking her big eyes as she asked in confusion, “Mother, what happened? Why did you mention Uncle Xiao?”

Su Zhi rubbed his little head and softly explained, “It’s fine. A Jin just needs to study properly. Don’t worry about the rest.”

A Jin nodded obediently and didn’t ask any further questions.

The carriage moved through the snow, leaving a long wheel print.

It took them two and a half hours to travel from Spring Leaf Alley to the Moon Residence Garden.

The hot water bottles in their hands had already turned cold. Fortunately, Su Zhi had carefully arranged the carriage so that no wind would leak out.

“Madam, we’re here.”

After the carriage stopped, Su Zhi opened the curtain and carried A Jin out of the carriage, who was wrapped tightly.

“Hello, Lady Su!”

Su Zhi looked over and saw Shen Zhu, dressed in thin clothes, standing in the snow like a green bamboo.

She quickly pulled the child forward and bent her knees in greeting. “I’m really sorry for making Mister wait so long.”

Shen Zhu faintly nodded. Her gaze shifted to the child in her hands. The little bun that was surrounded by the green cloak was round and round, revealing a small face. His big, black eyes curiously stared at him, a little shy.

“This is my child, you can just call him A Jin. This child can’t do anything else, but his ability to read and write is extremely high, so I hope that Mr Shen will put in a lot of effort. ”

Shen Zhu smiled. With a single glance, she understood that A Jin was not from Su Zhi. However, after thinking about it again, her eyes became even more complicated.

“It’s cold, let’s talk inside.”

The Moon Residence Garden was not far from the Shen Residence. It was a courtyard belonging to the Shen family and had been converted into a school by Shen Zhu. Currently, the children who attended school as well as those who returned home during the holidays were all deserted, not even a single person’s shadow could be seen.

After the Shen family fell, they dismissed a large number of servants, pouring tea and adding firewood was something that Shen Zhu personally did.

Su Zhi couldn’t bear his busy work, so she called out to him, “Sir, there’s no need to be polite. Since you’re here for school, how can you be as delicate as you are at home?”

Shen Zhu chuckled, “The child’s body is weak, you have to be careful not to get caught in the cold. “The summer in my garden is cool, and I can’t bear to stay here in the winter. Without a brazier, even the lord wouldn’t be able to bear it.”

Su Zhi also realized that this Lunar New Moon Garden was indeed bone-piercing cold. She didn’t stop him from his busy work. The child does need to exercise, but can’t take health joke, this cold infected disease, oneself should be heartbroken again.

Dan Xue looked at the furnishings of the garden and whispered into Su Zhi’s ear, “Madam, I think we should wait until spring before sending Jin’er here. This is too cold. Children are pampered. They can’t endure the cold.”

“Let’s take a look first. The students here have all left. I believe that Mister Shen is also considering things for the children. Maybe today is just to see A Jin’s spiritual root, so he won’t stay here to start teaching.”

Hearing their words, A Jin, who was in his embrace, said indifferently, “Mother, I’m not afraid of the cold. I’m willing to study with Teacher.”

Su Zhi was somewhat surprised. She pinched his soft cheeks and smiled, “This place is so cold. Can A Jin endure it?”

The child nodded, “Yes, mother has taught me before that it is difficult for someone to accomplish something great.”

“A Jin has such a good memory. When did mom say that?”

Shen Zhu walked in with a brazier filled with heat. Coincidentally, when she heard this, she narrowed her eyes and praised, “This child is indeed intelligent and extremely intelligent. I’ve accepted this student. Does Lady Su have any objections?”

Su Zhi stood up and thanked him, “Sir, you can’t thank me enough for taking A Jin in.” She pulled A Jin forward to kneel down. “Good child, thank you quickly.”

“Thank you teacher for accepting me as your student!” A Jin was about to kneel down, but was stopped by Shen Zhu, “Waixiang, you don’t have to.”

Su Zhi was grateful. She winked at Dan Xue beside her and said happily, “Today is a good day. I’ve brought some things specially. Sir, please accept them.” Dan Xue understood and handed over the gift she had brought. She then took out the money bag she had prepared and handed it over.

Shen Zhu hurriedly waved his hand to shirk him. “If you want to pay tuition, just three taels of silver will do.”

So cheap? Su Zhi was secretly surprised. How could a teacher live through such a small amount of money, and not only for the children, but also for the coal they needed for the winter?

“Sir, although I am a woman, I can do a small business myself. The silver is not too big of a problem, so you don’t have to be so considerate.”

As he said this, he pushed the heavy purse in front of Shen Zhu.

“Even if my child needs some charcoal, sir, take it.”

That’s right, Master. If you’re willing to accept Jin, it’s not because you’re lacking.” “In the future, when I become famous, I will never forget your kindness.

When Shen Zhu heard A Jin’s words, he was so shocked that he couldn’t speak. He was amazed at the child’s good sense.

Su Zhi was also surprised. She had never taught him these things before. This child was very intelligent.

“Since A Jin has spoken, I will accept these yellow and white items.”

Only then did Su Zhi smile in satisfaction. As expected, it was still a good job for a child to come out.

“Then, is A Jin willing to stay in the yard and study with Master today?”

“I am willing, but I would like to ask for Teacher’s permission to send mother off in person.”

He cupped his hands in front of his chest and bowed.

Su Zhi could not hold back her laughter. “The shop will be busy for a while. If the child is willing to stay, I’m afraid it will delay Mister’s rest.”

“No worries, Lady Su has matters to attend to, so you can just leave.”

Although Dan Xue felt pained for A Jin to be frozen, the little mistress herself was willing to stay. She did not say any words of consolation, but only comforted Su Zhi, “Madam, please relax. Jin’er has a servant watching over her.”

Su Zhi nodded and left.

They followed the carriage out of the cave and disappeared in the snow.

After everyone had disappeared from sight, a woman wearing a plain cloak slowly walked out from the park. She was not far away, and was covered by a layer of white fog.

“Madam, did you see that just now?”

Jiang Si held the stove in his hands, slightly bit his red lips and shook his head, “I can’t see clearly, it’s too far.”

But as soon as the child appeared, her heart skipped a beat, as if there was some unusual connection.

She began to believe that Jiang Xuan’s flesh and blood were still alive. The child called A Jin couldn’t possibly be Su Zhi’s.

In the snowy days, it was hard to see and travel. Apart from the guests who busied themselves with buying New Year’s food, there were very few people idling around.

The previously noisy street had become much quieter.

At this moment, Hua Manlou’s advantage appeared.

Because the store was inside, the store was filled with people and was heated by a brazier. Many customers were willing to come and visit.

Li Yi busied himself with all of this. He looked at the endless stream of customers with a smile, and watched the white silver enter his account. He was so happy that he couldn’t stop smiling.

Su Zhi returned to Flower Mansion and dived into the dessert shop to make some pastries.

Before she left yesterday, she had already prepared the raw materials in the shop. Before she went in, Su Zhi took out a lot of colorful wrapping paper from her storage room and let Qiu Hong put on a promotional sign: New Year’s gift.

The delicious pastries, the exquisite outer shell and the unique combination made the customers unable to resist buying a few boxes, and soon sold out.

Guests who hadn’t been bought yet could only sit on one side and wait. They were all grouped together and could say a few words if they didn’t know each other.

“Hey hey, have you heard? General Xiao’s men have rebelled. ” Guest A was the first to open up a conversation and speak.

“I heard about it a long time ago. I heard about it even before dawn. I say, this General Xiao sure is unlucky. Now that the new year is about to arrive, the imperial edict will tell us to forget about this year. ”

Another one answered, “Yes, I heard it from the outside that it was because the soldiers’ pay had not been paid. The soldiers below were angry and wanted to rebel.”

The few of them looked at each other, but did not say anything.

It was unknown which of the Warlocks had spoken nonsense, but the emperor was engrossed in cultivating the dao and had long ignored the matters of the imperial court.
