181 Settled
Su Xiaoxiao set out in early February. After a month of long journey, it was March when he arrived in the capital.
Along the way, they saw many prosperous cities. However, when they arrived at the feet of the emperor, they couldn't help but sigh: The walls of the capital are so high, so towering, so majestic and powerful!
The guards guarding the gate were wearing thick armor, holding spears, and looked majestic.
Su Ergou often jumped sideways on the two carriages, and now he was on Su Xiaoxiao's carriage.
He opened the curtain, looked at the huge crowd of people waiting in line, and shouted in shock: "Sister! There are so many people!"
The three little ones also squeezed their little heads against the car window, blinking their big eyes and looking at them curiously.
After traveling for several days, it would be false to say it wasn't hard. Even a tough guy like Mr. Su was almost lying flat. Su Ergou also fell ill during the journey. The three little ones had no other discomfort except losing a little weight.
While the three of them watched, they grabbed the milk bottles and drank milk.
Su Xiaoxiao thought secretly: Well, the milk powder is good. I will buy some from the pharmacy next time.
Dahu drank it first.
Then he shot a dangerous look at his two younger brothers.
The two tigers and the little tiger hurriedly jumped into Su Xiaoxiao's arms, wary of the elder brother stealing their milk bottles.
When it was their turn, the carriage was stopped by the guards.
The three coachmen were sent by Su Mo with the carriage. They were from the capital and showed their own way.
The guard said seriously: "The people in the carriage get down!"
Su Xiaoxiao opened the curtain, gently stretched out her hand with her fair white wrist, and handed the guard a token with a cold black light.
The guard seemed to know the token of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, and his attitude instantly became respectful: "The carriage needs to be inspected, so please ask this girl Haihan."
Su Xiaoxiao expressed her understanding and got out of the carriage with the three little guys in her arms.
The triplets are so eye-catching, not to mention how cute they are, and they grab the little bottle and slurp it up, making the passers-by very cute.
Even the guards who were conducting routine inspections couldn't help but glance at the three little ones.
After checking the carriages and finding nothing suspicious, the guards let the three carriages go.
After entering the capital, Su Ergou's exclamations never stopped.
"Sister! Look! It's such a tall building!"
"That's the tower."
"Ah? Oh."
Xiaohu: "Tower."
Erhu: "Tall tower."
Dahu: "Not as tall as me."
"..."
The capital city is so huge that the group traveled in the morning and settled down in the evening.
The coachman made sure that several people were accommodated, and then went to the Marquis Mansion to resume his duties.
Su Mo and Qin Yun arrived in the capital yesterday. Su Yuan, Su Qi and others are still on their way back to the capital. It will take another three or two days to arrive.
The leader of the coachman met Su Mo at Tingfeng Courtyard.
"Young Master." He bowed his hands and bowed.
"Have they arrived?" Su Mo asked.
"We're here," the coachman said.
"Where are the people?" Su Mo looked at the empty yard.
The coachman said: "They are unwilling to come and stay at the Marquis Mansion."
Su Mo had already anticipated the girl's temperament and would most likely refuse to accept the arrangement of staying at the Marquis Mansion. He was not surprised by this.
"Did you go to Changliu Street?"
There is a small house under his name on Changliu Street. If she refuses to come to the Hou Mansion, the coachman will take them to live there.
The coachman shook his head again: "No, they went to Lihua Lane."
"That Lihua Lane on Zhuangyuan Street?" Su Mo pondered for a moment, "How did they go there?"
Lihua Lane is a rare and quiet area in the bustling section of Beijing. It connects the noisy streets to the east and west. Once you walk in, you feel like you have abandoned the hustle and bustle.
Su Xiaoxiao came to a house and raised her hand to gently knock on the closed door.
Crunch——
The door opened from the inside.
A slightly stooped servant stuck his head out and looked at Su Xiaoxiao and his group with a strange expression.
Su Xiaoxiao took out a letter and handed it to him.
It was getting dark, and the servant seemed to have trouble with his eyes. He took the letter, closed the courtyard door, bolted the door, and went to read the letter under the oil lamp in the room.
When he came over again, he opened the courtyard door completely and welcomed people in politely.
"you……"
Su Xiaoxiao looked at him.
He gestured.
He is a mute slave and cannot speak.
Father Su brought his luggage in, looked at the clean and elegant courtyard, and asked, "My dear, whose house is this?"
"Master Huijue's." Su Xiaoxiao's novel.
The last time she went to visit Master Huijue, Master Huijue gave her a letter before leaving, saying that if she changed her mind in the future and was willing to go to the capital, she could stay in her old residence.
The old friend that Mrs. Huijue mentioned was sick must be the old Marquis of the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion.
She had made it clear at that time that she would not go to the capital for medical treatment.
However, Master Huijue still made all these preparations, as if she was sure that she would come to the capital after all.
"By the way, please check on Zhong Shan for me. It's not easy for him to guard a big house alone..."
These are the original words of Master Huijue.
So Su Xiaoxiao knows his name.
He is actually less than fifty, but he looks older.
"Excuse me, Uncle Zhong."
After Su Xiaoxiao finished this sentence, Zhong Shan visibly paused.
He glanced at Su Xiaoxiao blankly, then quickly lowered his head and helped move the group's luggage inside.
This is a two-entry courtyard, which has a different layout from the houses in the countryside. Su Ergou and three little dogs were wandering back and forth, which was very rare.
Su Cheng, Su Ergou, and Fu Langzhong lived in the wing room in the front row, while Su Xiaoxiao and Sanxiao only lived in the wing room on the second entrance to the courtyard.
Zhong Shan doesn't live here, he just comes here every day to clean, coming in the morning and leaving at night.
After handing the key to Su Xiaoxiao, Zhong Shan went back.
The yard and house were kept clean, and the furniture and furniture were ready. You could move in as soon as you came in. However, Zhong Shan did not open a fire in the yard, so there was no food in the kitchen.
Fortunately, this is the capital city and there are many shops nearby.
"Dad, go out and buy something for dinner. I'll buy it. What do you want to eat?"
Su Cheng waved his hand: "No, let's go together. We've been stuck in the carriage all day, and it's time to go for a walk."
"Mr. Fu, what about you?" Su Xiaoxiao asked.
Fu Langzhong said: "I'll go for a walk too."
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Su Ergou and three little dogs playing in the yard: "Can you guys still walk?"
Xiaohu patted his small chest with both hands and said in a sweet voice: "Jiu can move! The small ax can move!"
He was the one who shouted the loudest, and he was also the one who took two steps and stretched out his little arms towards Father Su.
This time, Erhu chose to be a happy little salted fish with his brother.
"Uncle, hug."
Su Ergou picked up Erhu.
In the end, only the brave Big Tiger was left, running huffing and puffing in front.
After exiting the alley and walking south, there are many food stalls and restaurants and noodle restaurants.
Father Su is not too picky about food, and Su Xiaoxiao usually makes the decision.
But today, by some strange coincidence, he stopped at a time-honored noodle shop.
He raised his head and stared blankly at the peeling paint sign on the top. In a daze, he had the illusion that he had been here before.
