C2 Meet an Old Friend

After dinner, Su Yun'er did as she was told and tidied up. Aunt Li Chunhua called her into the house and handed her a pair of shoes.

Su Yun'er was startled and took the shoes. They were naturally a pair of rough handmade shoes, not comparable to the exquisite embroidered shoes she had worn in her previous life. These shoes were held together with useless old clothes.

Li Chun Hua looked at the broken shoes on her feet that revealed her toes, and indicated for Su Yun'er to put them on.

Su Yun'er had changed into a new pair of shoes that fit quite well, and was probably specially made for her.

Li Chun Hua sighed. With a complicated expression, she said, "Don't blame me for not giving you the conditions. You've seen the family situation, so today you should go out and take a breather."

Su Yun'er nodded. Although she was a spoiled princess who had grown up in her previous life, she wasn't unreasonable enough to believe that Li Chunhua must give her generous conditions in this life.

She was already grateful to be able to support her for free and to return the favor to her for treatment.

Li Chun Hua waved her hand and Su Yun'er left the room.

As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw Su Guoguo, who was two years younger than him, shakily carrying a large bucket towards the laundry sink.

Su Yun'er went up to help him. Seeing that it was her aunt, Su Guo Guo Guo called out sweetly and went to wash the clothes.

It was very normal for a ten-year-old girl to wash clothes at home. The eldest sister-in-law valued her sons and daughters, and Su Guo had to do most of the work.

Su Guoguo was diligent. While she was in a muddled state of illness, she had helped her do a lot of work, causing her sister-in-law to feel somewhat unhappy.

After Su Yun'er helped wash her clothes, she was chased away by Su Guoguo. She said that she was going to prepare to go down to town, and that it would be very difficult for the girls in this village to see her.

Su Yun'er gathered her thoughts and stopped thinking about it. She returned to her room, found the brocade sack she had been hiding in, and hung it around her neck.

The body of the original owner's father became a soldier, leaving the original owner nothing but a small jade pendant.

According to Su Yun'er's memories from her past life, this jade pendant wasn't considered precious, but it was worth a little money. Su Yun'er had been carefully hiding all this time, just so that she could prepare to leave this place that day.

Although Li Chunhua treated her pretty well, she still wanted to return to the capital and take a look around. She wanted to see who doted on her big brother the emperor, see the empress dowager, see the little crown prince who liked to stick to her, look at her little pals, and then look … Xiao Yu Chen.

Huzi stood by the door, his small hands clinging to the doorframe, staring at her.

Su Yun'er rubbed his head, "What's wrong, are you standing here?"

Hu Zi looked at her and said, "Father and Uncle told me to call you Aunt."

Su Yun'er nodded, "Then let's go, I'll go over right now."

Seeing that Su Yun'er was about to leave, Hu Zi quickly pulled on Su Yun's sleeve and said anxiously, "Hu Zi, we also need to go! "Going out on the street with aunt!"

Su Yun'er saw that Hu Zi wanted to follow him like this, and hesitated in her heart. In the end, she did not agree to Hu Zi's request. Although she usually pampered Hu Zi, Li Chunhua only told her to go with him.

He usually listened to his aunt the most, but now that his aunt told him to stay at home, he could only stay at home.

The village Su Yun'er resided in was in the mountains, but the town she was in was built close to the canal. It was connected in all directions, and there was an endless stream of merchants that came to play. It was extremely lively. Su Yun'er had been living here for a few days, and only now did she know that they weren't too far from the capital. If she took the water route, she would be able to get there in ten to half a month.

That was how she gave Su Yun'er the thought of returning to the capital, and only waited for the chance to come.

Today was the day Li Chunhua said they would go to the market, which meant they were going to the market. Most vendors would put out their stalls and set up a bustling street market.

There were also many farmers who took out their extra things to exchange for some money and then went to buy other things their families needed. This was the case for the Su Clan.

There were quite a lot of people gathered in the bustling market. Brother Su and Second Brother Su dragged a load of food onto the stone floor and found a grain shop to sell the goods.

This market could be sold to stalls as well as some big merchants in the town. Although the price was a bit lower than the price of the stalls, it was easier to save time.

Second Brother Su received the money and pocketed the money. He and Brother Su also planned to buy some things that they needed. Seeing Su Yun'er following them, he waved his hand. "Alright, you can go play by yourself." Wait for us here before the sun goes down, do you know? "

Su Yun'er nodded her head before leaving her eldest brother and second brother to visit somewhere else.

Passing by a pawnshop, Su Yun'er touched the brocade sack on her neck with some hesitation. What if they exchanged the pendant so early in the morning and lost the silver?

After thinking about it, she decided to change the time to become a jade pendant. It wasn't the time yet.

This was the first time she had visited a place like this. In her previous life, she was a princess of high status, so it was impossible for her to go out for a stroll.

She casually strolled around. Although she didn't have any money to buy it, she could still enjoy her eyes to the brim.

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of them.

Puzzled, she looked over at the source of the disturbance and saw a fat middle-aged man stumbling out of the crowd, his knees buckling as he fell to the ground.

Su Yun'er curiously walked up to the crowd and looked over. A man in light armor was reprimanding the middle-aged man.

Su Yun'er curiously asked the aunt beside her, "Auntie, what happened here?"

"Aiyo, didn't a lot of people die in the war a few years ago? The imperial court sent some consolation money over, but that damnable person swallowed all the consolation money and gave each family a few bags of miscellaneous noodles." "This general was sent by the imperial government to investigate this matter."

"Crap, that's not right. My distant cousin went on conscription and died in battle, but he just carried a few bags of miscellaneous noodles back and gave it to me. Aiyo, you made my cousin cry." Another aunt said.

"That's right, he died and yet he swallowed the consolation money. He really has no conscience."

Su Yun'er was stunned when she heard this. She knew that her father had died in the military recruitment a few years ago. These homes were still alright, their families were in the mountains, and the yamen had only sent a messenger.

"Then this is …" "Do you want to redistribute the comfort money?" Su Yun'er asked.

"Yeah, I think the higher-ups sent someone over personally."

"Great, now that cousin of mine is finally feeling a bit comforted." Eldest Sister-in-Law was glad.

Su Yun'er tightly pursed her lips as she thought about the matter of the consolation money. She estimated that there wouldn't be too much or no small amount of this consolation money. When the time came, she would borrow a small portion of it as a backup. If she were to arrive in the capital …

But what was the use of arriving in the capital? How could the empress dowager recognize her as her older brother the emperor?

Su Yun'er sighed, the bitterness in her heart was not at all pleasant. However, she could only take things one step at a time. If there was a way to get out of this situation, she would double the amount of silver she had borrowed and return the jade pendant.

Su Yun'er looked at the general who was reprimanding her and turned to leave.

Along the way, Su Yun'er was walking around restlessly. She didn't know where she was going, and as soon as she recovered her senses, she discovered that she had arrived by the river.

There were a few fishermen on the river, and a few small boats, probably used by wealthy families for their business.

Su Yun'er picked a leaf from the side and blew on it, not feeling dirty at all.

The leaves let out a humming sound and formed a small tune. The melody was melodious and melodious. Sometimes, it was joyful and sometimes sad. It was a song that could also be played by a single leaf.

She had learned this song from a high-ranking general under Xiao Yu Chen in her previous life. That high-ranking general came from a remote mountain area, so he had the ability to play the leaves. Su Yun'er had even specially made up this song for him.

At that time, she had purposely bragged to Xiao Yuchen in an attempt to win his praise, but she had never expected to get such an unorthodox evaluation.

She was so angry that she ignored Xiao Yu Chen for a few days, wanting to teach this unromantic general a lesson. Unfortunately, as it turned out, even if she ignored him, he wouldn't feel anything was amiss.

Su Yun'er let out a faint sigh, and her heart couldn't help but feel a ripple as she thought of this. She stopped the tune in her mouth and put down the leaf.

However, all of a sudden, Su Yun'er noticed that something wasn't right. She felt as if someone was staring at her. Su Yun'er's hair stood on end as she was being stared at. She was just about to scout around to see who was looking at her like this when she heard a voice full of chilliness come from behind her, "This piece of music … Who taught you that? "

Su Yun'er turned her head in astonishment, only to see a tall and big man standing behind her. His hair was tied up, his slightly cold eyes slightly narrowed, and his pursed lips revealed his master's unease. Time seemed to favor this person. Even though he was over 30, he didn't seem old. Instead, he had a certain charm to him.

The man stood there quietly, wearing a dark robe with a long knife hanging from his waist. Even after so long, his habit of carrying a knife with him had not changed.

There were several scars on his face.

Su Yun'er foolishly stared at the newcomer, a few thoughts flashing through her mind.

Only after that person had taken a few steps forward did Su Yun'er realize what kind of person she had met.

In her previous life, she was the husband of the Princess An Ran, as well as the current general of the imperial court.
