Chapter 643: Monitor it
Su Chen accompanied Bai Susu and took a car to Bai Mansion at night. He met Bai Susu's parents, Bai Shouren and Ning, and said goodbye to them.
Su Chen explained the current situation to Bai Shouren and his wife in front of them. He was very likely to leave the Tang State and go to the Song Dynasty, becoming a key figure in the truce and peace negotiations between the Tang and Song Dynasties.
After hearing the whole story, the Bai Shouren couple felt extremely surprised and a little angry.
Ning wiped her tears and said, "The imperial court has gone too far. Su Chen is so talented. He also cured the cowpox plague for the Tang Dynasty, developed the imperial court's business to fill the treasury, and defended the imperial court against Wu Yue's attack. It can be said that he has done many great achievements.
In the end, it was too heartless to burn bridges like this."
"They are all ruthless emperors since ancient times. It is true that they are political temples and are more cunning and untrustworthy than businessmen!" Bai Shouren was also angry.
Bai Susu advised from the side: "Father and mother, it is useless to say this now. After all, we are still ministers and common people in the Tang Dynasty. Our destiny is controlled by the court. We have no ability to resist and can only let the court arrange it. Fortunately, here
It's not like I was sent out to behead him this time, so there shouldn't be any danger, it's just that it's hard to swallow."
Bai Shouren nodded and said: "Su Su is right. Whether we are doing business or serving as officials, we belong to the people of the Tang Dynasty after all. We have to obey the arrangements of the imperial court. How can we have our own rights? Being given away as a bargaining chip this time is better than destroying the city.
It's good to die in battle. Moreover, the Song State was strong, but the Tang State was in decline and in danger. Even if the Tang State did not perish this time, it might be destroyed in two years.
"Instead of waiting to be captured and sent to the Song Dynasty, or to lose Runzhou and die in battle, it is better to go north to Bianjing as a talent appointed by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty. In this way, after Su Chen goes to the Song Dynasty, he will also be favored by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty.
The reuse of Su Chen has attracted the attention of some courtiers. After all, Su Chen's poems and many story books have been spread across the north and south, and his reputation is well known."
Bai Susu said: "Yes, we think so too. Su Chen will not be offended if he goes to the north, so please don't worry, parents. My husband and I will go north together and will return to Jinling City tomorrow. I came here tonight to express my gratitude to my parents.
Say goodbye..."
"So fast?" Ning was surprised.
Bai Susu explained: "The imperial court is urging her urgently, fearing that things will change if she is too late. My daughter will be unfilial and will not be able to always be around to take care of her two elders in the future."
It suddenly dawned on Bai Shouren and his wife that their daughter had married Su Chen and was going north with her. From then on, Bai Susu and the Bai family lived in the Song Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty, across the river from the north to the south. It was hard to tell when they would meet.
Mrs. Ning couldn't help crying when she heard that her daughter was also going to the north. From then on, the north and the south were separated and could no longer see each other.
My husband has traveled far away.
At this moment, Mrs. Ning wiped away her tears and said: "Su Su, I have suffered so much for you these years. I didn't expect that not long after you got married, you would have to move your family to Bianjing in the north. The future is unpredictable. Please take care of yourself. Your parents can't be careful all the time."
I’ve taken care of you. When you go out, pay more attention to your health and don’t let yourself be wronged.”
Bai Susu was moved when she heard this and replied: "Mom and dad, please don't worry, my husband is very good to me. Since I married into the Su family, I will go north with my husband to tide over the difficulties and support the entire Su family."
Although Bai Shouren and his wife had a lot of reluctance, they did not regret marrying their daughter to Su Chen, because a talented person like Su Chen would be valued both in the Southern Tang Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, and he might go to the Song Dynasty.
On the contrary, he will have better development, and he will not worry about poverty.
Bai Shouren said: "Yixuan, as elders, we all believe that your talents will make you stand out wherever you go!"
Su Chen smiled and said: "I hope so, just let Su Su suffer the hardship."
Bai Susu turned her head, looked at Su Chen with gentle eyes, and said: "It's not hard, I believe that your husband's talent will be able to support us in the Song Dynasty without suffering. And we also look forward to you in Bianjing City.
You can also make a difference in your career. When I was a child, I missed you once and didn't believe in your potential. It was because you never showed your talent, but now, I won't be fooled again. My family has a lot of wealth, but I am not as talented as my husband.
No matter where I am, I believe that pearls will always shine."
Su Chen was slightly moved in his heart. He didn't care about Bai Susu's past indifference, because that "Su Chen" was really too dandy back then. It's no wonder that Bai Susu looked down on him. He probably sent someone to inquire about it a long time ago and was very disappointed.
, too lazy to pay attention to him.
Only when a man shows enough talent, ability, and charm can he make an outstanding woman truly fall in love with you and become obsessed with you.
Su Chen smiled and said: "Since when did our young lady Su Su start praising others like this? She really obeyed her husband after marriage and started praising her husband."
When the family heard this, they couldn't help but burst out laughing. The atmosphere was not depressing, but rather enjoyable.
At the end of the conversation, Su Chen talked about some of the Su family's businesses and shops. Su Chen asked his father-in-law to help take care of them, and after he established himself in the north, he would move some property in batches.
Bai Shouren agreed and said there was no problem.
It was already late at night when we returned to the Su Mansion from the Bai family. Along the way, there were always people watching secretly, seeming to be wary of Su Chen escaping in the middle of the night.
These guards and scouts were all sent by Deng Wang Li Congyi. They always had Su Chen's information and itinerary. The major peace negotiations between the Tang and Song Dynasties were all tied to Su Chen. He must not be allowed to escape or have an accident.
The safety of the Tang Dynasty is all staked on him, no carelessness is allowed!
Until Su Chen returned to the Su Mansion, the following secret guards lurked, keeping an eye on the movements of the Su Mansion.
Jing Hong stepped forward and whispered to Su Chen that the house was being monitored.
Su Chen's face darkened slightly, and he understood what the other party was worried about. He snorted softly and said, "Don't worry about them, everyone can rest peacefully. We will go to Jinling City early tomorrow morning."
"Okay!" Jing Hong nodded.
Su Chen returned to the room, where Peng Jingjing was waiting and had not fallen asleep yet.
Seeing him coming back, Peng Qingqing went up to him, took Su Chen's hand, and asked with concern: "Have you told your uncles and aunts in the Bai family? Do they agree with Sister Su Su to follow us to the Song Dynasty?"
Su Chen said: "Well, as I said, of course my uncle and aunt agreed, otherwise we would still have to fight against each other? Now you, Sister Su Su, have married into the Su family and become our Su family, you must follow her!"
Peng Jingjing nodded, with some expectation and worry, and said: "That's good. Susu's family agrees, and my father should also agree. Anyway, I will go wherever you go, and we will never separate."
