Chapter Thirty-Six Going Home

Su Zijin rode back home with his father. It was dark. They discussed it all day in His Majesty's study before deciding to send troops from Shu County to trade on the Ancient Tea Horse Road with Zhang Long and others.

"A million taels a year, wouldn't it be a pity to let His Majesty take away most of it?"

Su Wu suddenly looked at Su Zijin beside him and asked.

Su Zijin shook his head and looked at his father, "Unless you want to rebel and become a king, so much money is a hot potato. I originally wanted to make a small fuss and let Zhang Long, the others, and I both have some private money, but I didn't expect the benefits to be so attractive.

"We are conservative here, but the Qiang people are not willing to accept it."

Su Wu was frightened by his daughter's direct words and coughed, "Opening your mouth means rebelling. This is the streets of Kyoto, not a place like Shu County where the sky is high and the emperor is far away."

After glaring at his daughter, Su Wu softened his expression and said, "Rebellion is impossible. Your father, me, and your mother are not people who care about the world. This kind of hard work can only be done by your majesty. And those countries in Kyoto

The princes and princes are all talented people. They can rule the country with literature and military skills. Your father and I are no match for them." Su Wu laughed at himself. He was a general. If he had his daughter's money to help him, some people would still be able to do it.

The heart is really moved, but if it is not grasped well, it is also a life-threatening talisman. Shaking his head and throwing away the trace of human nature, Su Wu continued to say to his daughter, "You should tell the fourth prince about this first."

That's right. You don't get along too much and you got engaged unexpectedly. In this way, the fourth prince will treat you with affection from now on, whether it's because of your sincerity or the money you bring."

Su Zijin has never been in love, and has no experience in getting along with the opposite sex. Her only sources of experience are countless movies and TV series in her previous life and various modern or time-travel novels.

The various contradictions in love in the TV series made her anxious. The love in the novels she read later made her heart-wrenching and stayed away from it.

Now that she suddenly had to get along with her fiancé, who seemed to have fallen from the sky, and was the fourth prince of a noble family, she felt a little unsure.

Various misunderstandings, cheating, reconciliation, and other episodes of sadomasochism flashed through Su Zijin's mind. Su Zijin sighed and looked at his father, "It's hard to grasp the human heart. My father said it was affection, but I couldn't believe that others would think it was a burden.

And I don’t want to repay a favor. What I yearn for is a natural harmony, and I don’t want to find someone and constantly give him so-called affection and weight to restrain others.”

Su Wu looked at his daughter's clear eyes and couldn't help but smile, "Okay, if my daughter is ambitious, her father will naturally support her. It's better to keep it simple and don't have to think so much."

Su Zijin saw that his father was in a good mood, and the two of them spoke openly for the first time. He couldn't help but test it further, "I have a stubborn temper and can't bear to be wronged. Tell me, what should I do if the fourth prince and I really don't get along?"

?”

Su Wu shook his head with an expression of unguarded contentment. Riding a horse and strolling on the streets of Kyoto with his daughter, talking about each other, made him feel that the happiness of a family was nothing more than this.

Hearing what his daughter said at this time, Su Wu was confident, "It's okay if we really can't get along. Isn't the status and wealth my father earned just so that your mother and you can live freely and be less restrained? Someone else's family has decided to get married.

Even if you die, you have to keep your face and abide by it. Your mother and I are not that pedantic. If it doesn't work, let's change!"

Su Zijin struck while the iron was hot, "The fourth prince is a good guy. I can't get along with him, and he has a high standard. If no one catches my eye again, then I will live with my father and mother. You don't have to find a stinky man to disgust me."

Own."

Su Wu didn't have much reaction after hearing this. He just squinted at Su Zijin who was waiting for his reaction, "If you don't like anyone, that's fine."

"real?"

Su Zijin was surprised that his father could actually agree with his "rebellious" idea?

"Father will try to live as long as possible, and then before I die, I will find you a reliable person to marry. It is best to be a widower with children. He is older and will not mess around for the sake of his future and children.

.”

Su Wu said coolly.

Su Zijin felt a chill on the back of her neck. She always felt that this was something her father could do. She smiled and said, "I don't have to worry about it, father. I will try my best to find the right person and marry myself."

The conversation between father and daughter came to an abrupt end, and they fell silent, each thinking about returning home.



"Zijin, don't be bored at home all day. Have you chosen your clothes for Hail God's Day tomorrow? The fourth prince's post arrived a few days ago."

Mrs. Chang of Wuhou said to Su Zijin who was lying on the table copying Buddhist scriptures.

The trade routes of Shu County have been handed over to His Majesty at this time. His Majesty has sent people to Shu County to take over the trade routes of Shu County with full authority. Su Zijin is naturally at ease.

Su Zijin, who had been busy in Shu County for two years, suddenly became free and relaxed. After a few days of leisurely eating and sleeping in his Wutong Garden, Mrs. Chang couldn't stand it anymore, so she slipped Su Zijin over and let her stay in her own house.

She copied Buddhist scriptures in her room. It wasn’t that her parents kept her locked up intentionally, but that she had no friends in Kyoto and it was boring to go out by herself.

Su Zijin had been copying Buddhist scriptures for three days in a row. She always felt that her mind seemed to be infected by the Buddhist scriptures and became more and more pure and inactive. At this time, she suddenly heard her mother asking her to go out. She was still a little uncomfortable.

"Let's not go. We are just hanging out with people we don't know. It doesn't feel interesting."

Su Zijin stayed at home for a long time and subconsciously refused.

Seeing Su Zijin's laziness, Mrs. Chang gave an order indiscriminately, "We must go!"

As he said that, he looked at Su Zijin's maid Xiaoxia, "Go and bring your lady's new clothes and jewelry this year. Let's help her choose her outfit for going out tomorrow."

Xiaoxia glanced at her young lady and happily accepted the order. The young lady went to Shu County for two years, and she stayed in the house for two years. Naturally, she hoped to follow her out of the house tomorrow.

Mrs. Chang asked Su Zijin to change into three sets of clothes before she was satisfied and chose one of the begonia-colored sleeveless skirts. "That's it. Remember to take your cousin with you when you go out tomorrow."

The next day, Su Zijin wore the clothes chosen by her mother and reluctantly took her cousin to go to Leyouyuan outside the city to celebrate the Hail God Festival.

"Sister Zijin, I'm not talking about you. How can this young lady from Kyoto ride a horse?"

Su Jiaojiao still had the same nostrils turned up expression towards him, Su Zijin was too lazy to respond, and together with the maid Xiaoxia, he quickly got on the horse and said to Su Jiaojiao, "Whether you are riding a horse or riding a carriage, try to go as fast as possible.

Now, I'm about to leave and I don't have time to wait for you."

The atmosphere is so peaceful at this time that it would be a waste not to ride a horse.

Unable to reach the luxurious carriage of Wuhou Mansion, Su Jiaojiao stamped her feet and boarded her own indigo carriage with the help of her maid Mei Xiang, "Let's go!"

Su Jiaojiao closed the carriage curtain and said proudly.

Su Zijin and Xiaoxia looked at each other and said, "Let's go."

"Are you really not ready to wait for us?"

Suddenly, a young man's voice came over. Before Su Zijin could turn around, Su Jiaojiao in the carriage opened the carriage curtain with lightning speed and looked towards the source of the sound.

"Fourth Prince, Ninth Prince!"
