Chapter 133: Idle Cloud Wild Crane

"Prince of the Kingdom of Rong?"

After hearing this, the old man's eyes lit up. Although his expression was still serious, his expression was much softer than before.

He naturally knew the origin of his wife, so he knew that Prince Rong was his wife's younger brother, and he was still fighting against the Huns at the border. If it was really his letter, the master and his wife would definitely be very happy.

"Yes, it's his letter, but because this letter is very important, there are some other words to be conveyed. So I want to meet the master and wife in person."

Su Muwan saw his reaction and spoke calmly, even if the old man looked at her again, he could not see anything from her face.

"Okay, you guys just wait first, I'll go and communicate with our master first."

After the old man finished speaking, he closed the door with a "bang" sound, asking Mo Yu, who was looking inside the gap, to eat it in a bad way.

This wait took a quarter of an hour, and the few people were a little impatient. Even Su Muwan thought that Su Mubo did not believe him and became a little suspicious.

At this time, the door was pushed open with a "bang". The old man seemed to have changed his body, with a smile on his face, and respectfully welcomed several people into the mansion.

"Several guests, come in quickly. Just now, because I suddenly remembered that there was a pot of soup on the fire, I went to the kitchen first and asked you to wait for so long. I was really embarrassed."

After hearing this, Mo Yu grinned and couldn't help asking.

"Old man, why do you have to take care of the kitchen in addition to guarding the door? Are there no one else in your prefect's mansion?"

After all, this prefect is considered a fourth-rank official. Even if the family members rely on their salary, they will not be so miserable. What's more, Su Mubo married the daughter of Duke Rong, and the dowry alone is astonishing.

But no matter how you look at it, you feel that Su Mubo's life is a bit "miserable".

Not only Mo Yu thought so, but even Su Muwan was confused in her heart at this moment.

"Oh, the guests don't know anything. Our master and wife are most impatient with the crowds of people in the family, so there are only a few people here."

After the old man finished speaking, he laughed. He didn't look like he was surprised at all, but he was a little proud.

Su Muwan saw his reaction in her heart, and became even more curious about Su Mubo whom she had never met.

The house looks small, but it is quite big. It is a world inside. Walking through the main entrance along the way, there are no winding paths on both sides, but it seems to be piled up with some strange rocks, which is quite interesting.

A pavilion completely covered with grape vines was even built in the yard, with a stone table and several stone stools inside.

Although it was late autumn and the vines were withered and yellow, it was not difficult to imagine how comfortable and natural it was to sit here when the summer was over.

When he walked into the hall, Su Muwan noticed the man sitting in the middle at a glance. If nothing happened, he should be Su Mubo.

How should I describe Su Mubo? Su Muwan has seen Du Hua before. Although she looks a little scholarly, the careful person in her actions can still see his impetuousness and ambition.

But Su Mubo was completely different. He had a complete literary style, and he was not eroded by the officialdom at all. He even looked at the free and easy way of some idle fish and wild cranes.

Seeing Su Muwan coming in, he put down the teacup in his hand and slowly got up from the stool.

After seeing this, Su Muwan took the initiative to greet her. She clenched her fists and gave him a gift.

Seeing this, he asked on his own initiative.

"I heard from the masters that I said that some of them had letters from their younger brothers and had words to bring to us. I wonder if it is true?"

After he asked, he glanced at the woman beside him, smiled at her slightly, as if comforting her.

Only then did Su Muwan notice the woman beside him.

This must be Su Mubo's wife, Rong Lian's second sister. She was wearing very simple and elegant at this time. The green silk was soft but also had a faint luster. She didn't have the jewelry spirit on her body. She just casually brought a silver hairpin and a green jade bracelet on her hand.

But even if she dressed up so casually, it did not destroy her nobleness at all, and she still looked generous and elegant.

Su Muwan nodded secretly. After all, this person was once considered a noble girl in the capital. Although he has married someone else's wife, the grandeur of his son and daughter has not been lost.

"It's true, it's this one!"

After Su Muwan finished speaking, she took a step forward and handed over the letter that Rong Lian had written in her hand.

Su Mubo hurriedly opened it, and his wife also came over to see this. When she saw the handwriting on it, she couldn't help but speak.

"Husband, that's right, this is Lian'er's handwriting. I will not admit it wrong. Every time he wrote to us from a temple since he was a child, he always used this handwriting, which outsiders would not know!"

Su Mubo nodded, reached out and patted her on the shoulder, and hugged her slightly.

"Don't worry, I just said that my brother-in-law must be a lucky star and there will be nothing wrong. Besides, the newspaper also said that he and Prince Yu won several times in a row. It was you, and you were worried about it there."

After saying that, he picked up the letter in his hand and read it. After reading it, he frowned, withdrew his arm, and hurriedly bowed and shouted.

"I wonder if this person is Princess Yu. If there was any negligence just now, I hope I will forgive you more."

"What, this is Princess Yu?"

Rong Lian's second sister, Mrs. Su, asked in confusion. When Su Muwan had sex outside, she was already married, so the two had never met each other in the capital.

Mrs. Su also heard about her younger brother Rong Lian. It is said that because he fell in love with Su Muwan at first sight, he returned home and began to beg his father and mother to come to propose marriage for him.

After all the two elders agreed, the news that King Yu personally asked the emperor for an order, betrothed Su Muwan to him, and became Princess Yu.

My silly brother was still very depressed for a while because of this, but he didn't expect that he could actually see her himself today.

Mrs. Su began to look at Su Muwan without any trace. She was wearing men's clothes today, but she did not disguise herself or tie her hair up, but tied her hair up high.

It looks heroic, and the eyes of people do not dodge at all. They are very calm. Just standing there makes people feel a little confused.

She was such a woman, and it was understandable that her younger brother fell in love at first sight.

When Su Mubo heard her question, he nodded and said.

"That's right, Brother Lian asked me to do a big favor in the letter, and said that I am the only one who can do the best of this matter, so please don't refuse easily."

Speaking of this, he turned his gaze to Su Muwan, with some curiosity.

"But I don't know what the princess wants me to help?"

Su Muwan did not answer directly, but just asked a question.

"I wonder if Lord Su has paid attention to the situation in Qingcheng, Linzhou on weekdays?"

Su Mubo shook his head. Just managing Linzhou had already made him feel a little hard work. Where did he get the energy to pay attention to other people's affairs?

In addition, he doesn't like socializing, so he knows nothing about other colleagues, just cares about the big and small matters of his continent.

"I came all the way from Yumen Pass this time and passed by Qingcheng. Does Lord Su know what I have seen?"

"The prefects of various counties in Qingcheng colluded with bandits on the mountain and robbed the money of passing merchants at will. The people could not bear to be suppressed and sued the government, but were bitten back."

"The prefect of Qingcheng knows the law and commits heinous crimes. Not only is he planning the good show of snakes and rats, but he even refuses to let go of the wealthy businessmen. He charges several protection fees every year."

"How could such a thing happen? Du Hua is too bold! If these crimes are reported once, even if he has a hundred lives, he will not lose his head."

When Su Mubo heard this, he was shocked. What Su Muwan said had exceeded his imagination. He didn't believe how could there be such a bold person?

Su Muwan sneered:

"Hmph, bold? This is not because there is a eldest prince behind him! Everything he did is just to help the eldest prince accumulate money."

Su Mubo's pupils suddenly became bigger, but then they returned to normal and murmured.

"The eldest prince is actually him, but this matter is not strange. After all, he is not a good person."

Su Muwan was surprised with his straightforwardness and boldness. How could ordinary people have the courage to say that a prince is "not a good person".

After all, no matter what, he is also a royal family!

It seems that what Shangguan Yu said in his heart was particularly similar to Duke Rong, and he was indeed not wrong, because Rong Lian's father Duke Rong was such a straightforward person.

It is said that when the emperor first took the throne, he issued a wrong order. Other officials knew it well, but no one dared to come out to identify it. Only he stood up without hesitation and pointed out the emperor's mistakes.

As a result, the emperor not only did not punish him, but also said that he was pure and a loyal minister.

Now, Su Mubo's outspoken heart is exactly the same as Duke Rong! No wonder they got so close!

But since he could say that, he must have seen Shangguan Qian's disagreement, and he is also a wise man.

"The official dares to guess whether the princess wants to ask me to come forward and expose his crime?"

Su Mubo looked at Su Muwan and asked, his face had already recovered from calmness.

Su Muwan nodded and looked into his eyes, very sincere.

"Mr. Su is so smart, he guessed nothing wrong. I came here at this time and was ordered by my prince. I wanted to ask Lord Su to help me!"
