Chapter 277

In any case, Su Deyan had to admit that his father-in-law's enlightened cultivation of these two children was unique and successful. If there is anything that bothers him very much about his children at the moment, it is this marriage. He thought that his son's marriage would come naturally, but he didn't expect that there would be a situation where he couldn't do anything about it. How could he not know his son's thoughts, the person he likes marries someone else, and this sadness is afraid that it will take time to heal, and he does not want to force him to accept another marriage at this moment. As for his daughter, he knew very well that if it weren't for their family deliberately avoiding it, with Qingxi's appearance and talent, there would be an endless stream of people who came to propose marriage. He and his wife were selfishly thinking about marrying General Zeng Ji, and Zeng Qidao, the youngest son of General Zeng's family, often followed the general's wife to play in the mansion when he was in Shangdu, and he was naturally familiar with Qingxi. It's just that he and his wife are very puzzled, and the Zeng family doesn't seem to have any intention of proposing. General Zeng Ji is leading troops to garrison in the north, and he can't come back for a year and a half, and although his daughter is good friends with Zeng Qidao, she doesn't seem to have any other thoughts. It's just that this matter can't be delayed any longer, he always feels that if he drags it out because of Qingxi's temperament, he will eventually hurt her. Later, Su Deyan returned to Sujiang and stood in the old garden, it was also like this sunset, mottled with shadows of trees, thinking of this evening in Shangdu Sufu, and sighed lightly, "It's still too late." ”

At night, Su Meng was half-lying on the collapse after bathing and changing clothes, casually flipping through a book of "Night Rain Poems", and reciting the words in his mouth, "The ancient wonderful pen is like a fairy word, and the ink marks are faint and fascinating." Turning the rain into rain for nine days, not washing evil poems with Yuan Yi. With that, he flicked his sleeves and put the book aside.

Moon Shadow, who was practicing calligraphy in front of the table, stopped her pen and looked sideways, and hurriedly said, "Miss, are you saying that Lord Yuan's poems are not well written? You can be careful about this, and don't talk nonsense when you go out. ”

"Whether it's good or bad is just a matter of everyone's feelings. It's just that the poems are written so obscurely, Su Meng doesn't like them. Qingxi said lightly, as if he didn't care much about Yuan Yi's identity. After speaking, she glanced at Moon Shadow, pretended to be angry, and straightened her waist, "You have taught Su Meng a lesson, so let's have one more copy of today's copybook." ”

"Huh?" Moon Shadow first widened her eyes, then pursed her lips in an instant, revealing a look of grief as if begging for mercy. But she looked at her young lady's unpowdered face white and clear, her thin eyebrows were slightly raised, and her far-reaching eyes were waiting quietly, so she knew that there was no room for negotiation, so she had to silently bow her head and continue to copy, but her mouth was reluctant to mutter, "Shouldn't you be happy today? Don't you really want to see the beauty of the Baoding Blood Juan, the spring moon in the Jade Pavilion?"

When it came to driving Baoding Mountain, Su Meng's eyebrows furrowed slightly. Su Deyan explained the matter to her, cautiously and carefully, his words were full of worry, and there was no sense of joy at all. Father's question is also hers's question, and the only reason they know now is that their father was ordered to inspect the southwest and punish a few corrupt officials and corrupt officials, but how can this credit win such appreciation? Tonight, my father obviously has some old words and stops, but he is afraid that he does not want to let himself know about the situation in the DPRK and China. At this time, it would be good if my brother was here, and he would definitely be able to help his father analyze and deal with it.

"Miss!" Su Meng's thoughts were interrupted by Moon Shadow's sudden call. "Miss, miss, you will take Su Meng there. Moon Shadow held her pen and looked expectant.

Su Meng glanced at her again, lowered her eyes and nodded, "Father said that according to the rules, Su Meng can bring an entourage, how can Su Meng get rid of you!"

When Moon Shadow heard this, she was overjoyed, and she felt that the words written by herself on the table were a little better.

Su Meng looked at her silly appearance, and didn't feel funny, "So happy? If it's a partner, travel together in spring, unrestrained, and the beautiful scenery is the beautiful scenery." This time I traveled with you, there were a lot of etiquette rules, and Su Meng was not interested at all, which was really spoiling the interest. As she spoke, she lay on her back and sighed.

Moon Shadow hurriedly put down the pen in her hand and ran to the side of the bed, with a thirsty expression, "Miss, you and Su Meng talk about this blessing ceremony." Are Su Meng going to stay on Baoding Mountain for a few days?"

Su Meng looked at the moon shadow with flashing eyes, full of anticipation for her answer, so she got up, cleared her throat and said, "Since the establishment of the Su Meng Dynasty, it has been established for three generations. This prayer ceremony once every three years, since Taizu established this rule, except for Emperor Gaozong, who had a year to resist the invasion of the northern Nuda, has not been interrupted once. It is said that when Taizu raised troops to build a new Dacheng, in the early days of the founding of the country, the world had just experienced a scuffle, and it was necessary to recuperate, but the locusts were raging that year, and the people were not able to make a living. Taizu took the civil and military officials to pray for the highest Baoding Mountain near Shangdu, may God have mercy on the people, God bless the Dacheng, in this blessing ceremony, his old man also ate locusts to show his determination to exterminate locusts. Later, after concerted efforts and hard work, the locust plague survived. So, since then, Taizu has set a rule, once every three years, the emperor will go to Baoding Mountain in person to pray for the blessings of the people, taste the things that the world cannot taste, and taste the suffering of the people. Except, of course, the poisonous ones. This is where the prayer ceremony comes in. It's just that this ritual has come to this day, but it is just a formality, and the bitterness is not tasted, it is nothing more than a holy prayer to the heavens and the earth, and it will probably take half a day. The royal palace was built on Baoding Mountain, and every time the saint always had to stay for a day, it should be a collective retreat to go and play. Su Meng felt that he was doing for the people, not in the ceremony, in the heart, not in the table, in the truth, not in the void. ”

After hearing this, Moon Shadow nodded in understanding, with a look of admiration on her face, thinking that she was worthy of being her own young lady, and she knew everything. "Silly girl, if you inquire about this matter a little, you can know everything. That is, you follow Su Meng all day long, and you have surrounded your world and the world. ”

"How come? Miss's world is big, and Moon Shadow's world is naturally big. ”

"Su Meng's world?" Su Meng held back her mouth, "Su Meng's world is uncomfortable going to Baoding Mountain and being detained." ”

In order to soothe her young lady's seemingly depressed mood, Moon Shadow turned her eyes around and said, "Miss, it's the grace of the saint! Besides, isn't there still a crown princess?"

Shen Tong has been married into the prince's mansion for more than a year, and in the past, the sisters talked and laughed and came and went freely. But now in the land of the East Palace, the identity of the crown princess, it is inconvenient for her to enter and exit a girl's house, and she has not seen Shen Tong for more than half a year. Speaking of Shen Tong, Su Meng's eyes condensed a complex light, just like the thoughts in his heart, correcting mistakes together, not yet smooth, he is still like this, let alone his brother.

"Miss, did you say that the crown princess was voluntary? she and the young master ......" Before Moon Shadow finished speaking, she was stopped by Su Meng's sharp eyes. She snapped, "Moon Shadow, you said something you shouldn't have said. ”
