Prince, kneel down quickly, the lady can't run away

"My two poor children, I didn't treat him well the first time I saw him. It made me angry to see him hunched over like that. Now it seems that he has no choice. He can't be so outstanding, and that hateful person won't give him the opportunity to excel," the old lady said with a look of heartache and a murderous look on her face.

"Madam, there's no need to do this. Since we can't go back to the northwest, then we'll stay here. The court values ​​civil officials over military officials. This year's top scholar must be from our General's Mansion. As long as the second son is still in the northwest, we'll be safe. I'm thinking about investigating Hua'er's matter now. I really don't believe their excuses. Otherwise, where's her nanny? Where's her dowry? How come they're all ruined? Some dead, some gone," the old general was determined to get to the bottom of the matter

"Okay, check everything you suspect. This is for the third child, and you can't let the kids know."

"Yes, mother," Su Luobai replied

"Grandma, we heard it!" Su Jinyu shouted

"Brother, what are you doing?" Su Jinxiu didn't understand why Su Jinyu took the initiative to express his opinion.

"Push me in"

"You, hey..." The old lady didn't know what to say when she saw the three of them.

"If you heard it, then you heard it! You will know it sooner or later, come in and tell me." The old general said calmly.

"Grandfather, do you suspect someone may have harmed my aunt?" Compared to the other two, Su Jinyu is much more reliable.

"Yes, I am just suspicious. But you must not tell Xi'er and Jiu'er about this. You don't have to worry about this. We have our elders to take care of it. Got it?" The old general told the three of them.

"I understand, Grandfather," the three of them responded.

I talked to Su Jinxiu about what happened today. Everyone thought Jinxiu did a good job, but Su Jinyu and the old general felt something was wrong, but they couldn't put their finger on it.

"Well, what are you doing here? Didn't your sister send you something?" the old general asked the three of them.

"Grandfather, I want to discuss this matter behind closed doors," Su Jinyu said bluntly.

"All of you go down. Jin Xiu and Jin Mu, you stay at the door and don't let anyone get close," the old general ordered them.

"Yes"

"Go ahead, the whole family is here today."

"Grandfather, how about you take a look at these?" Su Jinyu took out the warm wine and gave it to Su Jinxiu and Su Jinmu as gifts and showed them to the old general. "Grandfather, be careful. The ribs of this fan have hidden weapons."

"This is quite good. The fan is as thin as a cicada's wing. It can be used as a weapon and also to show off one's taste. The purity of this sword is not iron. This sword is much more practical than the masterpieces of others. The blade is well sharpened. Did your sister buy these for you? What about you? What's yours?" The old general smiled and looked at Su Jinyu.

"Here." Su Jinyu took out the She inkstone from his sleeve again. He held it tremblingly. Su Yanchen knew his son well. He had been steady since childhood and rarely trembled like this. He had a bold guess in his mind. He looked at his son. After his son gave him a look, he was happy at first and then became anxious.

"This inkstone is not ordinary, it is a good inkstone, it is rare." Although the old general is a little weak, he can still tell the quality of the inkstone.

"Grandfather, this is not rare, it is extremely rare. Even...even the palace has been searching for it in vain. There is only a small piece in the palace, and my sister found it. This is a whole piece, a complete piece. This is a She inkstone, which has just flowed in from the Western Regions. I came across it when we were in the northwest. A small piece can be sold for thousands of gold. This whole piece is not available in the palace. It is priceless. Its advantage is..." Su Jinyu chattered on and on about these things.

"Ahem." Su Jinyu looked at his coughing father and remembered something important. He said that his grandfather must not know much about the things needed for studying, but no one was more proficient than his grandfather in leading troops in battle. He watched his grandfather touch the two things and turn them over and over.

"Grandfather, what if I say that these two things in your hand were forged by my sister?" Su Jinyu's words undoubtedly exploded in the old general's ears.

"You, you, you, say it again slowly."

"This is what my sister forged for us. The purpose and maintenance are written inside. Grandfather, take a close look at this thing," Su Jinyu said carefully to the old general.

"Jiu'er, this is forged by Jiu'er... This is not iron, this is..." The old general touched the sword and accidentally cut his hand, but still smiled happily.

"Grandfather, I think you have probably guessed what my sister meant. She wants us to know that the prince has this thing, so we have to make a plan. This matter cannot be known to the palace. I have already told my two younger brothers that these are just one or two pieces of spoils we took out in the northwest," Su Jinyu's words made the masters of the entire general's mansion look at the grandfather and grandson.

"This is fine steel, which is purer than iron. If the two are used against each other, steel is undoubtedly better. I wonder if your sister is safe now, right?" The old general was a little worried. After all, Xiao Jue didn't look like an easy person to get along with. Now Jiu'er has sent him back to lead the army to fight. There are many people who don't want their soldiers to use good weapons, but also don't want others to know about it. They can't help but feel a little worried.

"My sister must have a letter home when she brings something back. Have you read it?" Su Jinyu asked

"Not yet. I was thinking of waiting for Jin Xiu to come back so we can look at something together. Do you have any letters from home? Bring them here!" the old general shouted hurriedly.

"Jinmu, come in!" Su Jinyu shouted

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"You and Sandi move in all the things my sister sent me."

"it is good"

The two of them carried it in with great effort, and sure enough, they found a family letter inside. It simply said that she was fine now, but she had not received any letters from them. She also asked Xiao Jue if he could say that he had discovered steel ore, which was much purer than iron, so she made two things for them to see. She was also trying to discuss with Xiao Jue to ship the steel weapons to her second uncle, so that they would have more confidence in their victory.

Finally, she told them to take care of themselves and wait for her to come back. She told them to keep the matter secret for her. She and Xiao Jue were still negotiating the bargaining chips and hoped that it would succeed. She also said that Xiao Jue was going to give up the iron mine of his mother. No matter how the court argued, as long as the general's mansion remained neutral, it would be best not to ask about it. Since Xiao Jue was going to do this, it was not easy for him, an old man, to interrupt. He immediately told them not to care about any rumors until Wen Jiu came back. Besides, the recent rumors were also about the prime minister's mansion. It was very exciting.

"Grandfather, this inkstone is given to you. My sister has worked hard day and night to get it. I don't know when people started looking for it. I am very grateful to my aunt for giving me this sister. I will treat my sister better in the future." Su Jinyu said this from the bottom of her heart.

"Brother, what are you talking about? Won't my second brother and I treat her better? We will too." Su Jinxiu nudged Su Jinmu, who nodded and solemnly indicated that he would too.
