    Chapter 62 Entering Beijing

    The Su family and their party drove for more than half a month. Seeing that there was still half a day to reach the capital, they were blocked by a sudden heavy snow.

    "My lord, the snow is too heavy, and I'm afraid it will be dangerous if we continue our journey." Li Zhusheng said to Su Changfeng after hearing the coachman's reply, "It just so happens that there is a town not far ahead, why don't we find an inn in the town?  Just one night, wait for the snow to stop before going on the road.¡±

    "Let's do it like this." Su Changfeng put down the half-raised curtain and said with a frown. It's not a wise decision to travel in the snow.  I wanted to enter the city before dark, but now it seems that I can't.  Alas, looking at the momentum of this snow, I'm afraid it won't stop for a while.  Three days later is the day to worship the ancestors, but don't delay it because of the snow.

    Su Changfeng came to Beijing this time, one for the purpose of reporting on his work, and the other for the Su Clan's family sacrifice once every ten years.  The first article of the Su Clan's family motto states that every ten years there is a big sacrifice, but all the descendants of the Su Clan should return to Beijing to worship their ancestors if there is no accident.  Although Su Changfeng had a deep relationship with Duke Anguo's mansion, he still had the blood of the Su family on his body, so he brought his family back to Beijing this time.  And Su Bingwen and Su Bingwu are both on their way to the capital.

    A group of eight carriages slowly drove into the town, making the originally not very spacious streets even more crowded.  Fortunately, few people go out in snowy days, so they won't block people's roads.

    When the carriage was parked, Su Changfeng walked down first, and couldn't help frowning when he looked up and saw the words "Ping An Inn".  "Is this the best inn in town?"

    "Go back to the master, there is only this inn in the town." Looking at the line on his master's lips, Li Zhusheng secretly wiped off his cold sweat.  Although this Ping An Town is called a town, it is actually just a slightly larger village.  Moreover, it is close to the capital, and generally no one would stay here.  Several guards searched all over the town before finding this Ping An Inn, but the facade looked too shabby.  Although they did not spend too much time during their journey, this was the first time they encountered such a "vicissitudes" inn, so it was no wonder that the master felt dissatisfied.  In fact, Su Changfeng himself didn't care, he was just afraid of wronging his wife and children.

    "It's cold outside, please come inside, gentlemen!" The shopkeeper of the inn saw so many carriages parked at his door, so he rushed out to welcome them.  Seeing that the group of people were well dressed, I was overjoyed, I didn't expect to attract such distinguished guests near the end of the year.

    Su Changfeng stepped inside, looked around for a week, and frowned slightly when he saw that the inside was tidy and clean.  "Zhusheng, go and invite Madam and the others down."

    "Yes." Li Zhusheng heaved a sigh of relief, and walked outside quickly.

    "Excuse me, guest officer, do you want to stay in the store? The upper rooms on the second floor are empty. I wonder how many rooms the guest officer wants?"  Went to Su Changfeng and asked.

    "I need all the rooms on the second floor, and five rooms on the first floor." Su Changfeng replied.

    "Yes, yes, I'm going to let someone clean up the room." The shopkeeper ran to the back to find his wife.  The business of the inn was bleak and couldn't afford to hire a second child, and chores like tidying up the room had always been done by the shopkeeper and his wife.

    The two couples were quick to do things, and the room was tidied up after waiting for a cup of tea.  Su Changfeng took his wife and children up to the second floor, and each chose a room to live in the east, while the maids and women were arranged in the west.  As for the guards, they were all placed on the first floor because they were concerned about the defense of men and women.

    Due to the small number of rooms in the inn, the Su family boys share two rooms.  Because Xiaoranqing is a daughter, she got a room by herself.  At this time, Xiao Ranqing was sitting on a chair, watching helplessly as Mrs. Liu led cistanche and mint to clean up the room.  It's just a night's rest. Is it necessary to display all the things you brought?  Then it will be another trouble to put it away.

    Turning his gaze, he was facing the haggard little face in the mirror.  After sitting in the carriage for more than half a month, the whole family looked a little listless, and she was of course no exception.  Xiao Ranqing only felt that all the bones in her body were about to be knocked apart, and she felt extremely uncomfortable.  Fortunately, after practicing martial arts for nearly a year, his body has become much stronger.  Otherwise, with her small body that could collapse in the wind, she probably wouldn't be able to reach the capital.

    "Miss, the house has been tidied up. It's still early for dinner, would you like to take a rest first?" Mrs. Liu came to Xiaoranqing's side at some time and asked aloud.

    "En." Xiao Ranqing nodded, and asked the two servant girls to take off their coats and go to sleep.  After all, it is outside, years of cautious habits make it difficult for Xiaoranqing to sleep deeply, and she wakes up immediately when there is any movement.  After repeating this several times, I feel more tired than before going to bed.  She simply stopped sleeping, closed her eyes and listened to the sound of snow falling outside the window.  Listening to it, I gradually developed a feeling of being close to home.  Time has passed for thousands of years, and there have been two dynasties,? Waiting in the parents' room.  Because Su Bingwu knew that his parents would also go to see him, so he would be able to see him then.  When he knocked on the door and walked into the room, he found that Su Bingwu was already in the room, surrounded by several younger brothers talking about interesting stories in the military camp.

    "My sister is here!" Su Bingwu hurriedly stood up and walked to Xiao Ranqing after hearing the maid's announcement.  Seeing that Xiao Ranqing just looked at him quietly and didn't speak, she changed her joyful face into grievance, "Sister, don't you know brother?"

    "Second brother." Seeing Su Bingwu's usual trickery, Xiao Ranqing finally came to his senses.  Her second elder brother stayed in the military camp for more than half a year, not only darkened, but also taller, and his whole body was also a lot more aggressive.  If she looked at it from a distance, she probably wouldn't recognize this heroic young man as her second brother.

    "Hey!" Su Bingwu responded happily, took Xiao Ranqing and walked to where the brothers were, "Sister, come and see, the second brother brought you a lot of gifts, which are definitely not worse than the ones sent by the elder brother before!"

    "I'll greet my mother first," Seeing Su Bingwu's eagerness to show off, Xiao Ranqing felt helpless and heartwarming, no matter how her second brother changed, he was still the good second brother who loved her.

    "Bao'er, mother is going to sleep in your room tonight." When Xiao Ranqing invited Ann, Wang said with a smile while holding her daughter.  Except when their daughter was born, their mother and daughter had never slept together.  It is also fortunate that this inn has few rooms, otherwise how would there be a chance for her to sleep with her daughter?

    Knowing that the second son came with Vice General Ning and the third young master of the Ying family, Wang made some changes in the allocation of rooms.  Su Bingwu and Su Changfeng lived in this room together, while she herself went to live in Xiaoranqing's room, so that the two winners could share the downstairs room.  In fact, the Wang family wanted to allocate two upper rooms to the Ying family, but Vice General Ning declined considering that there were still female relatives living on the second floor.

    "Okay." Xiao Ranqing nodded without any objection.

    After that, the family got together and chatted for a long time, and they went back to their rooms when they saw that it was almost dinner time.  In the early morning of the next day, Xiao Ranqing opened the curtain to see that the heavy snow that fluttered yesterday had quietly stopped at night, leaving only a piece of silvery white.  Now that the snow has stopped, it's time for the group to hit the road again.  Sure enough, after breakfast, Mrs. Wang ordered the maids to pack up and prepare to leave.

    Waiting for the luggage to be tidied and loaded into the carriage, Wang led Xiao Ranqing downstairs.  Scanning the hall with his eyes, he found two more unfamiliar faces.  Only then did Xiao Ranqing remember the two people who were traveling with him that the second elder brother mentioned yesterday.  Taking a closer look at the two of them, one was burly and resolute, standing there like a sharp steel gun, Xiao Ranqing immediately judged that this person must be a soldier.  Turning her eyes to the other, she couldn't help but frowned, why did this boy look like a daughter?

    Ying Jie'an noticed the gaze on him, looked up, and met a pair of dark black eyes, this is the little girl Bing Wu often talks about.  Because of this appearance, he has long been used to the attention of everyone.  It's just that the eyes of the young girl of the Su family seem to be different from ordinary people. It doesn't seem to be stunning, but ratherdisgusting?  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
