Chapter 569: Stay
That night, Xiao Hei was on the wall, jumping as nimbly as a cat.
He carried a man in a black cloak and came to Su Xuanming's study.
"Shopkeeper, what's important for us to discuss late at night?" Su Xuanming lit the candle.
The visitor took off his cloak and revealed his true appearance. He was the owner of Fuquan Tea House: "Yesterday, Mr. Jiang, Mr. Chen, and Mr. Li came to the tea house to drink tea."
"Concubine Tong sent a message to Master Tong from the palace, and Master Tong told them that the officials are sure that the Yun Guo Guild will go south directly after the flood recedes, so they plan to strike first and are secretly mobilizing troops."
This is indeed very important news, and I must tell my mother-in-law quickly.
The owner of Fuquan Teahouse spoke very quickly: "Chiang Yushi said that Duke Yun and the young emperor will eventually have a battle, and it is best for Dalang to leave Kyoto as soon as possible."
Su Dalang is Gu Nanxi's eldest son.
Gu Nanxi had two sons and one daughter. Su Erlang was still floating on the sea, his life or death unknown.
In the eyes of Gu Nanxi's followers, Su Xuanming is the only one who can inherit Gu Nanxi's great cause. They cannot leave such a huge family fortune to Su Yunyan and end up in the hands of someone with a foreign surname.
Su Xuanming was shocked that things were so tense. He should really leave Kyoto quickly and not be used by officials to threaten his mother.
"Thank you, Shopkeeper Wu!"
Shopkeeper Wu told Su Xuanming all the plans made by his team.
"My ancestral home is in Henan County. I will leave Kyoto in the name of returning to my hometown to worship my ancestors. In the early morning of the next day, I will bring Fuman and others to say goodbye to you. At that time, you and the boy will change your clothes and Come with us.”
Su Xuanming solemnly thanked him, and Xiao Hei picked up Shopkeeper Wu and disappeared into the night.
Su Xuanming sat in the study and took out a small wooden box from the secret compartment of the bookshelf.
Opening the small wooden box, there were several letters inside.
Among them are letters between Taishi Tong and the Tatar Khan, as well as letters about Yongchang Hou plotting a rebellion.
Su Xuanming stared at this small box and sat there all night, still not thinking about what to do with it.
At the beginning, he planned to use Taishi Tong's letter of colluding with the Tatar Khan to bring down Taishi Tong in one fell swoop.
But later, during the continuous fighting between Yunzhou and the Tatars, although Taishi Tong advocated peace, he did not cause trouble to Yunzhou in terms of actual actions.
So at that time, Su Xuanming suspended the action against Taishi Tong.
Of course, things have happened to this point. It seems that it is no longer very important whether Taishi Tong is a good person or a bad person, and why he colluded with the Tatars.
The sun rises outside the window, and the morning light shines in through the shadows of the trees. The swaying sun shadows and countless light spots dance on the window cloth, and the light and shadow are intertwined.
Su Xuanming held the letters and threw them into the brazier one by one.
With the rising smoke, those past will also become secrets that will never see the light of day.
A mother cannot have a husband who is unjust, even if this husband has not made any contribution to the family.
After burning these letters, Su Xuanming began to pack up all his belongings.
In fact, there are not many possessions left.
Except for the Yongchang Marquis Mansion and Baichuan Academy, there are basically no fields or houses.
Su Xuanming gathered the banknotes together and decided to set aside a small portion for food expenses at Baichuan Academy, and then use a portion to distribute to his grandmother and several aunts.
When I go there, the road is very dangerous, and I might encounter obstacles, so I can't take my grandmother with me. Grandma is so old, and everyone in the capital knows that she has a bad relationship with A Niang, so the officials will not embarrass her.
Once he leaves, he will absorb most of the energy of the Imperial City Division, and then he will ask someone to take his grandmother and aunts out of Kyoto.
After making all the preparations, Su Xuanming took the initiative to step into Madam Hou's courtyard.
"Hey, Su Dalang, a busy man, actually has time to visit me, an old woman. The sun is really shining in the west." Mrs. Hou said with a gun and a stick.
Su Xuanming held a bowl of Qiuli water: "My grandson heard from the doctor that some of you have been sick recently, so my grandson specially asked the kitchen to make Qiuli water. Do you want your grandson to feed you?"
Mrs. Hou knew that it was useless to pretend to be sick, so she simply got up and took the bowl from Su Xuanming's hand: "I dare not trouble you."
Maybe they knew they had to say goodbye and didn't know when they would see each other again. Su Xuanming felt sad and didn't take his grandmother's words to heart.
"Grandma, the moon waxes and wanes, and people have joys and sorrows. My grandson has grown up under your knees since he was a child. He is deeply loved and cared for by his grandmother. This kindness will always be kept in his heart."
Mrs. Hou's nose became sore and she looked away: "What's the use of talking about this now? Aren't you partial to that lady of yours? She is a broom star. Ever since she came out, no matter in our house or in the whole country Week after week, I didn’t get any good results!”
Mrs. Hou held Su Xuanming's hand and pointedly said: "Da Lang, the sun in the sky will always be the sun. Even if dark clouds temporarily obscure the sun, no one can stop the sun's rays after the dark clouds dissipate. Old Hou What I often say to me is that those who understand the current affairs are heroes. ”

"Back then, our Su family was able to transform from a pig butcher to a famous marquis, all because of the ability to recognize people."
Growing up, the old lady never said anything good about Gu Nanxi in front of Su Xuanming.
Su Xuanming has long been used to it: "Grandma, if one day I travel far away, don't panic, just stay here. When the time comes, someone will take you back to Hangzhou. Are you saying that you miss your natal family in Hangzhou? Are you there? Just enjoy yourself in Hangzhou and wait for your grandson to pick you up.”
Mrs. Hou took a deep look at Su Xuanming: "Dalang, where are you going?"
Su Xuanming smiled: "My grandson has entered the official career. Sooner or later, he will have to go out and cannot stay in the Hou Mansion."
"Da Lang is right."
After Su Xuanming visited his grandmother and passed by the yard of his two aunts, he paused.
Several concubines and concubines poked their heads out from the door of the courtyard. When they saw Su Xuanming, they retracted their heads as if they were hiding from some ferocious beast.
Su Xuanming pretended not to notice, raised his feet and returned to his study.
Time flew by quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was time to make the appointment with the owner of Fuquan Tea House.
Shopkeeper Wu and Fuman came to say goodbye to Su Xuanming with great fanfare.
"Fuman bids farewell to his master. Thank you for his teachings. Fuman will keep them in mind." Fuman didn't know what was going on, so he really wanted to say goodbye to his master, with snot running down his chubby face.
Su Xuanming patted Fuman, moved his lips, and in the end only said "Take care".
Su Xuanming and Shopkeeper Wu looked at each other, and a boy with a similar stature to Su Xuanming quietly slipped into an empty room next door.
Su Xuanming followed him on the pretext of giving Fuman a farewell gift.
The two of them were in the room, decisively changing their clothes and outfits.
Just as Shopkeeper Wu and Su Xuanming were strutting out of the Hou Mansion, Li Aotian led troops to surround the Hou Mansion.
"Su Dalang, stay."
