Chapter 272

Caiyan bowed and lowered her eyes, "Well, I bought it. It's going to snow. There aren't many people selling vegetables, so it took me a while."

"Try not to do grocery shopping in the future. It's going to snow. Go to the east courtyard and get some charcoal."

What Jiang Jiaojiao fears most now is that her mother-in-law will find an opportunity to ask her to borrow money. She doesn't have much money left in her hand, and she can't fill the hole in the Su family.

After hearing Jiang Jiaojiao's instructions, Caiyan lowered her head and retreated.

For several days in a row, Su Peng slept on the same bed as Jiang Jiaojiao at night. Most of the time, they stayed calm, and occasionally they did it perfunctorily.

Su Peng no longer sneaked out to look for Caiyan in the middle of the night, which made Jiang Jiaojiao feel relieved.

Su Peng leaves early and comes home late every day. No one knows that he sneaks back home quietly in the afternoon to have a tryst with Caiyan.

Su Zhengxing did not get any advantage from Jiang Shuyue, so he stopped temporarily, and his life returned to the previous track. The only difference was that the Su family had two more mouths to eat.

…

After several days of strong winds, the first snow of winter finally arrived.

In the early morning, Jiang Shuyue opened the window and saw that the branches outside the window were bent by the snow, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of snow.

The snowflakes flying all over the sky are like dancing silver butterflies. The roof in the distance is already a vast expanse of white. The garden is covered in silver, and the entire mansion seems to be covered with a layer of snow-white gauze.

Hearing the footsteps, Jiang Shuyue said without looking back: "Qiu Ju, Yan Nan shouldn't be cold now, right?"

Qiu Ju put down the tray in her hand, walked over and picked up the cloak from the hanger and put it on Jiang Shuyue's shoulders.

Then he pulled up a window and said, "Miss, are you missing Aunt Su and Miss Ah Hui?"

"Well, the Queen Mother is in the capital, and I don't know when Ah Hui and Young Master Xiao will get married." Jiang Shuyue gathered her cloak, turned and walked towards the table.

"Miss, I forgot that Young Master Xiao has been named Prince Kang, and Miss A Hui will be Princess Kang when she marries."

Jiang Shuyue smiled and said, "Looking at how busy I am these days, I have forgotten that the emperor gave the title to Prince Kang."

Qiu Ju filled a bowl of porridge and placed it in front of Jiang Shuyue, and took out a few dishes of side dishes from the tray.

Seeing Jiang Shuyue pick up the chopsticks, Qiu Ju added, "Miss, don't worry about Aunt Su. Young Master Su has a bright career, and Young Master Su will not be too bad. Miss Ah Hui will be Princess Kang again in the future. It's beautiful to think about that day." "

Jiang Shuyue shook her head, "No, Uncle Su used to be a third-rank official, and now he's far away from the capital and starting over again. It's so unfair to him."

"Miss Su is right. At Mr. Su's age, I'm afraid he should return to his hometown to retire before he reaches the fifth rank."

Jiang Shuyue shook her head again: "That's not entirely true. Uncle Su was framed and suffered unfair injustice. If this matter is not cleared up, Su Jin will be criticized even if he becomes a very popular minister in the future."

"Gao Mu mentioned to the slaves that the emperor sent Jinyi guards to investigate. The previous files were almost destroyed and there was no way to investigate them."

Jiang Shuyue also heard Xiao Jingzhao mention what Qiu Ju said.

I received a letter from Su Hui a few days ago, which mentioned that Uncle Su had been promoted again.

The position of Laiyang County Magistrate was vacant, and Uncle Su was promoted to the eighth rank.

"The evidence is dead, but the person is alive. Go and ask Cangyun to come over."

Seeing Qiu Ju's slight hesitation, Jiang Shuyue added, "Cang Yun has a delicate mind, so it would be more appropriate for him to do this kind of thing."

"What the young lady said is absolutely true, I will go now."

After Qiu Ju went out, Jiang Shuyue quickly finished her breakfast.

After a while, Qiu Ju led Cangyun over.

Cangyun cupped his hands and said, "Miss, if you have anything to say, I will do it right away."

Jiang Shuyue said with a serious expression: "I will give you a task to investigate Su Huairen's colleagues during his tenure in the Ministry of Rites.

In particular, who were promoted to official positions after Uncle Su left Beijing? Where do these people serve now? Where do they live? "

"I understand that the young lady is going to vindicate Mr. Su." Cangyun accepted the order.

Jiang Shuyue took the charcoal pen and her homemade notebook from the table, "There are many people in the Ministry of Rites, and they are all from the previous dynasty. Bring paper and pen for easy recording."

Cangyun took the palm-sized notebook and put it into his arms, "Don't worry, young lady, as long as those people are not lying in the coffin, my subordinates can pull them out."

After Cangyun left, Qiu Ju asked: "Miss, after so many years, even if we find those people, they may not tell the truth."

Jiang Shuyue thought, and a pill appeared in the palm of her hand.

She opened her palm, and in her palm lay a brown pill the size of a pea.

She twisted up the pill and sniffed it: "As long as we find the person, your lady has a panacea in her hand. Are you still afraid that they won't tell the truth? The emperor needs evidence in the trial, so I'll just let them prepare the evidence themselves." "

Qiu Ju said with a smile on her face: "Our young ladies still have a way to deal with those bad guys who frame good people, so there is no need to talk about martial arts."

Qiu Ju asked curiously: "Miss, will this medicine kill someone?"

Jiang Shuyue took out a white porcelain bottle from behind her like a magic trick and slowly put the pills into the porcelain bottle.

"Whether someone will die or not is not up to us. Ants are still alive, let alone humans. As long as we scare them a little, those people will definitely tell the truth."

Qiu Ju nodded like a chicken pecking at rice: "What the young lady said is that those old guys lived a wealthy life, and it was an old affair from the previous dynasty. Their crimes are not worthy of killing the nine tribes. Someone should be able to expose them."

At this time, Lan'er came in to clean up the dishes. Jiang Shuyue stood up and smiled at Qiu Ju: "Today, instead of going to the hospital, let's go and see the new house decorated by Gao Mu."

Qiu Ju glanced out through the crack in the window: "The snow outside is getting heavier and heavier. Miss, it's better to stay indoors to keep warm. The new house has been almost tidied up, so it's okay not to look at it."

"Sister Qiu Ju is right. My servant has also seen it. Guard Gao has arranged the room in an orderly manner. He is just waiting for the big day to come. He will spread the wedding quilt and hang the red silk before sending it into the bridal chamber." Lan'er smiled. Teasing.

"If you tell me again, I will ask the young lady to marry you off next year." Qiu Ju said with a blushing face.

"This slave is still young, and the lady is reluctant to part with her."

Looking at Lan'er's charming look, Jiang Shuyue asked with a smile: "Has Lan'er fallen in love with someone? If so, don't hide it from me. I will prepare a dowry for each of you, so that your husband's family will not dare to underestimate you." "

"No, no. Miss, please be busy first. I'll go out and see what Mei'er has bought."

Seeing Lan'er put away the dishes and run away, Qiu Ju burst out laughing.

Jiang Shuyue couldn't help but laugh and said, "It turns out that this little girl knows how to be shy."

Jiang Shuyue calculated that it was still more than half a month before Qiu Ju and Gao Mu got married.

After a cup of tea, the snowflakes flying in the air gradually became smaller. Jiang Shuyue said, "Now that the new house has been decorated, let's go shopping on the street and buy some supplies for the new house."

This time Qiu Ju did not refuse, and the two came to the hall. The servant said that Gao Mu had left the house early in the morning.

The master and servant called the coachman and walked around the street. Jiang Shuyue personally selected red wedding candles and some daily necessities.

Seeing that the carriage was almost full, Qiu Ju said, "Miss, don't buy it. We already have several sets of quilts. If you buy too many, you won't be able to use them."

"Okay, let's use it for now. I'll buy more if I need it later."

The master and servant got on the carriage. As soon as they arrived at the gate of Jiang Mansion, they saw a carriage parked outside.

Qiu Ju jumped out of the carriage first and looked into the gate, "Who is coming?"
