Quick wear: Stunning witch lives a long life by giving birth to children
Chapter 325 The Romantic Widow 23
Su Yun was stunned for a long time before asking Jiang Qingxue.
"The old immortal you are talking about is a Taoist with disheveled hair and bare feet? He is described as quite embarrassed and looks like a beggar."
Hearing this, Jiang Qingxue looked at him in surprise.
"Exactly, how did you know?"
Su Yun was afraid of Jiang Qingxue's questioning, so she naturally didn't want to admit that she had also met that Taoist, so she smiled and spoke vaguely.
"I guess, isn't that what the drama says?"
Jiang Qingxue looked solemn, as if she was caught in the adventure three years ago.
"What I encountered was not a drama. I still remember that it was getting late, and the old immortal was lying at the door of Huifeng Tower to take shelter from the rain. Seeing that he was very pitiful, I invited him into the house to keep warm, and cooked a bowl of minced meat porridge for him. He was grateful to me and said a lot of things. I wanted to ask more, but unexpectedly he disappeared out of thin air..."
Su Yun felt that she was not worthy of Jiang Qingxue's deep friendship, and felt ashamed for a moment.
"You actually told me such an important thing, don't you regret it?"
Jiang Qingxue looked at him with burning eyes and said shyly.
"What do I have to regret? It can be considered a meritorious deed to save those innocent people from floods. You are the official of the imperial court, so it is best for you to take the lead. What's more, I only believe in you."
Su Yun left Zuixian Tower with a complicated mood. He naturally believed what Jiang Qingxue said. The strange things she was good at were probably related to that Taoist.
……
After Su Yun left, Jiang Qingxue had been waiting for news about him. She had been waiting for more than ten days, but there was no news at all. Even the book boy stopped coming to Zuixian Tower to eat and drink.
Jiang Qingxue felt something was wrong. Regardless of whether the matter was successful or not, she should say something.
"Xiao Fuzi, please go to Su Yun's house again."
Xiao Fuzi came back soon and said dejectedly.
"Mr. Su has left Beijing. His neighbor said he has been gone for more than ten days. I went to his house to have a look and found that he also left a letter for you."
Jiang Qingxue only felt that something was wrong, and after reading the letter, she was even more dumbfounded.
"He is just a small Hanlin Academy editor. How can he know how to prevent and control floods? This damn dog emperor not only doesn't take this matter to heart, but also sends Su Yun to control floods?"
You idiot, you are so ridiculous!
Seeing her frown, Xiao Fuzi leaned over and took advantage of the opportunity.
"Why don't we go too? I think this is a good opportunity to enhance our relationship. Maybe I can help him. You don't want him to die in Li County, right?"
Jiang Qingxue thought about it and felt that what he said was reasonable.
"Why don't you pack up quickly and go to Li? County."
Although we took the official road to get there, it would take more than ten days even with a fast horse. If we traveled slowly with a carriage, it would take about a month. Su Yun was riding a horse, so he thought he should be there soon.
Jiang Qingxue packed more than ten sets of clothes, put the 10,000 taels of silver notes she had defrauded from Zhou Junyan into her pocket, and prepared several bags of broken silver for the road.
They waited until dawn the next day and left the capital. The large and sturdy carriage was filled with food and drink. Those who didn't know it thought she was going to run away again.
The carriage had only been traveling for two days, and Jiang Qingxue was jolted so hard that her bones ached all over. She complained all the way that in order to chase a man, she had given up on the comfortable life of drunkenness and dreams in the capital. Is it easy for her to have to suffer this?
She regretted a little and wanted to go home.
"Xiao Fuzi, can you really predict the future? How can you be so sure that next month there will be a flash flood in the county town, causing countless casualties?"
Xiao Fuzi drove the horse in high spirits, not afraid of the scorching sun.
"Don't worry, it won't be wrong."
Jiang Qingxue was so hot that she was sweating profusely. The ice cubes she put in the car when she set off had already melted, leaving only half a basin of warm water. She was fanning weakly.
"What if I make a mistake? Su Yun won't be charged, right?"
Xiao Fuzi saw through her little thoughts, and was afraid that she would regret it, so he slammed the whip even louder.
"Don't worry, you can't go wrong."
Jiang Qingxue could only comfort herself, just endure it for the sake of Su Yun.
……
Xiao Fuzi hurriedly hurriedly arrived at Lihu County a month later. However, as soon as he entered Lihu County, it was raining continuously and the road was muddy. Jiang Qingxue could not ride a horse, and the carriage was even more difficult to walk.
Jiang Qingxue was really exhausted, so she first found an inn to stay, and then asked Xiao Fuzi to go out to inquire about Su Yundu. Xiao Fuzi didn't come back until midnight, standing wet by the bed, with a puddle of water at his feet.
"I found it, but I didn't say anything. I'll go there tomorrow."
Jiang Qingxue lay on the bed, rubbing her broken butt.
"Okay, let's go after the rain stops."
She originally wanted to rest for a few days and go see Su Yun after she recovered, but then she thought that Su Yun was the most soft-hearted, and the more embarrassed and haggard she was, the more distressed he would be.
The rain did not stop on the second day, but got heavier and heavier.
After Jiang Qingxue had breakfast, she didn't even change her clothes. She wore the mud-stained dress and wiped a handful of mud on her face before going to the Yamen where Su Yun was temporarily staying.
The gatekeeper heard that she was looking for Su Yun, looked at her for a long time, and said impatiently.
"Master Su is not here, please come back later."
Jiang Qingxue took out a few taels of silver and handed it over tremblingly.
"Brother, do you know where Mr. Su has gone? I am his relative. I heard that he came to Li? It was hard to find him all the way."
The two gatekeepers took the money and weighed it in their hands. They saw that her face was covered with mud and she was carrying a small oil bottle. They thought it was Su Yun's wife who had abandoned her in her hometown and came to the door.
"I'm not afraid to tell you that Master Su has gone to the Li River and is organizing people to dig out the mud in the river. If you can find someone, you'll be lucky."
Jiang Qingxue smiled, thanked her and left.
The two of them laughed loudly in the back with extremely disdainful tone.
"What an ugly woman, she still wants to get in touch with Mr. Su."
"I didn't even wash my face, and my clothes were so dirty that I felt dirty even when I saw them, let alone Mr. Su."
Jiang Qingxue knew that she was ugly now, so she did not ride in the carriage again. Instead, she held a broken umbrella and supported each other with Xiao Fuzi all the way to the Li River.
Along the way, she inevitably fell several times. The plain white dress seemed to have been soaked in mud, and the color was completely lost.
"Xiao Fuzi, am I miserable enough?"
Xiao Fuzi felt speechless.
"It's miserable enough, but it's a bit ugly."
Jiang Qingxue wiped her face, feeling very happy. She also wiped a few handfuls of mud on Xiao Fuzi's face. The two clay figurines walked along, loudly asking for directions.
"Brother, have you seen Mr. Su?"
"It's Mr. Su who came to the capital to control the floods."
"I am his unmarried fiancée, and I am his half-brother."
She was so shameless that she didn't blush even when she lied. Besides, her face was covered with mud now, so even if she blushed, she couldn't see it.
