Chapter 167 Meeting
On the third day, Zhou Ning, Shen You and their group got off the boat.
Qingzhou has many waterways, abundant resources, and the people live and work in peace and contentment. It is even more prosperous than Anzhou, which has the capital.
Bai Zhao and Su Zhiqiu seemed particularly nostalgic.
And no injuries...
He had a pair of eyes that were more charming than a woman's. Normally, he was arrogant and domineering, and the arrogance in his eyes had never diminished in the slightest, but at this moment, he had restrained his edge.
Shen You turned around and found Wushang staring at him blankly, as if he was looking at someone else through him.
"No injuries?" Shen You asked.
"Sister." Wushang murmured.
Shen You looked indifferent and asked, "What did you call me?"
Wushang seemed to wake up from his memories, lowered his head, and said dejectedly: "Nothing, let's go."
As soon as they got off the boat, a middle-aged man came over and said respectfully to Su Zhiqiu, "Second Miss, this old servant is Su Hong. I wonder if you still remember me?"
Su Zhiqiu smiled and nodded, saying, "Of course I remember, Steward Su, I haven't seen you for a few years, I hope you are doing well."
"Alas, thanks to the young lady, I am still in good health." Su Hong said with a smile, and glanced at Zhou Wan and Zhou Ning beside him.
Without any other words, just by looking at their faces, Su Hong could conclude that these two were the daughters of the lost young lady.
Especially the woman with her hair tied up in a bun, she looks exactly like Miss Mingxia.
"The master has ordered me to prepare the carriage. Ladies, please come this way." Su Hong said respectfully.
In fact, Zhou Ning still feels like she is dreaming. The deceased mother turned out to be the daughter of the Su family.
Su Hongbei's carriage was extremely exquisite, with a coffee table, incense burner, snacks, tea, and even lip balm inside.
Su Zhiqiu got on a carriage alone, accompanied by several of her maids and servants.
Zhou Wan, Zhou Ning and Shen You were riding in the same car.
Just as Bai Zhao was about to get on the carriage, Su Hong stopped him and asked, "What is the relationship between you and the three ladies?"
The people of Qingzhou are open-minded, and it is not uncommon for women and men to ride in the same car, but the Su family is a wealthy family, so they can't help but be cautious.
Su Hong could roughly guess that three of these gentlemen were about the same age as the girls and might be their lovers.
But a young man can't be the lover of three girls, so it's better to stop them.
Bai Zhao racked his brains and tentatively said, "Friend?"
When Su Hong heard that they were not engaged yet, he had to stop them.
"A Zhao." Qi Ji said, "Butler Su is right. We are not children anymore. Ning and Youzi are older too. We should be more cautious."
After saying that, Qi Ji bowed slightly to Su Hong and said, "I'm sorry to trouble you. Please find another carriage."
Su Hong said something like "what", but immediately found another car for the few people.
The young man in black is too reckless, but the young man in white is quite nice. I wonder if he is my young lady's fiancé.
Qi Ji was not yet of age, and from his clothes it was clear that he was under twenty, so Su Hong naturally thought he was his fiancé.
In such a short period of time, Su Hong has already begun to consider his young lady's lifelong affairs.
Along the way, Zhou Wan held Zhou Ning tightly, feeling a little nervous.
Zhou Ning lifted the curtain, looked at the scenery outside the carriage, and comforted her, "Sister, it's okay."
"But I'm still a little worried. I'm afraid that this is true, but I'm also afraid that this is not true?" Zhou Wan sighed.
Zhou Ning naturally knew Zhou Wan's anxiety, but this thing could not be eliminated by just a few words.
Seeing the low mood, Shen You said lively, "Sister Wan, your makeup is all smudged. Come on, touch up your makeup."
As she spoke, Shen You picked up the lip balm on the coffee table.
"This lip balm..." Shen You was delighted after opening it, "Didn't we make this?"
When Zhou Wan heard that it was the lip balm she made, she perked up a little and said, "Let me see."
The appearance of this lip balm is no different from ordinary lip balm, except that the box is bordered with gold and the word "Ji" is written inside.
"This doesn't look like our lip balm?" Shen You muttered.
Zhou Ning took a look and explained, "Some time ago, the Ji family asked me to make this kind of lip balm, saying it was for a gift, but I only made a small amount."
It seems that the Ji family and the Su family have a very good relationship, otherwise why would they only produce so little lip balm? But it can be seen everywhere on the Su family's carriage.
Zhou Ning was lying on the window, enjoying the breeze.
"It's true that Qingzhou is like spring all year round." Zhou Ning said with emotion.
"Of course." Bai Zhao's voice came over, causing Zhou Ning to look over.
Bai Zhao was riding a horse, holding the reins in one hand and his sword in the other, swaying not far from Zhou Ning.
He smiled at Zhou Ning and said, "I'll invite you to travel around the country someday. Then you'll know how beautiful the scenery outside is. Don't stay at home all the time."
Zhou Ning supported herself with one hand and said, "Forget it. I like staying here and being at ease."
Bai Zhao rode his horse closer and said, "Okay, okay, I'll listen to you then."
Hearing this, Zhou Ning couldn't help but look up at Bai Zhao and said calmly, "Go wherever you want. I can't control you."
Bai Zhao was being unreasonable: "I like being lively, I just want to be with you... and Qi Ji and Shen You and Master, you can't drive me away."
"You're crazy." Zhou Ning cursed with a smile and continued to look at the scenery.
Bai Zhao finally felt relieved after being scolded by Zhou Ning.
In the past, Zhou Ning would start a quarrel with him if he disagreed with her, and at that time he thought Zhou Ning was domineering.
Now that Zhou Ning saw that he was getting older and couldn't scold him often, Bai Zhao felt uncomfortable all over and started to get scolded more often.
In front of Su's house.
All the people in the Su family gathered at the door, including Su Da, the head of the Su family who had lived in the mansion for a long time and never went out.
He has only one daughter in his life. Since Mingxia was lost, he has had many more white hairs and wrinkles. How he hopes to be reunited with his daughter in his lifetime, even if it is only for a quarter of an hour.
Su Er advised, "Brother, go back to the room and wait. You are not in good health. Be careful not to get sick if you are exposed to the wind again."
"Where is the wind?" Suda blew his beard and glared, saying, "I'll wait and see. I want to see my daughter come back with my own eyes."
Seeing that his elder brother loved his daughter so much, Su Er didn't say anything.
"Here it comes, our carriage is here." Su Cheng on the side jumped up and down and shouted.
Su Er didn't have time to say anything as he was dragged several meters by his elder brother to meet the carriage.
He saw the first carriage and shouted, "My Mingxia..."
Su Zhiqiu came down and said awkwardly: "Uncle, they are behind."
Suda was not embarrassed and wiped her tears and went to the second carriage.
Zhou Ning and Zhou Wan came down one after another.
Zhou Wan's face shape, nose and mouth are very similar to Su Mingxia's, and Zhou Ning's eyebrows and eyes are very similar to Su Mingxia's.
But neither of them is Su Mingxia.
Suda asked tremblingly: "You must be Awan and A Ning."
Zhou Wan was at a loss: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
Suda wiped her tears and said, "I am your grandfather. Where is your mother? Which carriage is she in?"
What he wanted to see most was his daughter.
Su Zhiqiu came over quickly and said, "Uncle, let's go home and talk."
