Chapter 161: Half a Day of Leisure
Chapter 161 Mountain rain is coming
King Yu took a hundred guards out of Jinling in a dashing manner, and Su Chi rode a carriage on the road when he had nothing to do, and the strings in his mind collapsed too tightly some time ago. In the past few days, I have relaxed and felt uncomfortable, Su Cen has been arranged by His Majesty one after another, although he has not officially taken up his post, but he is obviously already a busy person.
The building has fallen, and the secluded residence behind the building is not out, and the status of the Su family is more prosperous than before. His Majesty's health is getting worse, but the concubine invited a few good doctors to study the condition every day, and it has improved a little in the past half a month.
Although she was idle at home, Su Chi also had nothing to do today, and she went to the door of Yuwang's Mansion today. Unexpectedly, after only drinking two cups of tea in the living room, he was told that Su Yao was sick and could not see guests. Su Chi watched the room full of people busy coming and going, and he didn't see the doctor, he didn't see the fragrance of medicine, and then asked the grandmother: "I heard that people miss their relatives the most when they are sick, why don't I go to the concubine and send the princess to Yuzhou for a reunion of husband and wife?" ”
The grandmother obviously didn't expect Su Chi to say such a thing, first Yixi and then her face darkened: "How can this work, the princess on the side is not in good health and it is difficult to travel far, thank you for the county lord's kindness." ”
Su Chi looked at her and guessed three points, so she continued to try: "It's still thoughtful, since you can't travel far, why don't I let Wanwan accompany the princess, they are the same mother, sisterhood, and they should come to serve the sick." ”
The grandmother was a little hesitant when she heard this, and Su Chi reminded her: "If the grandmother can't be the master, you might as well go in and ask the princess how it is?" ”
This grandmother really hurried in, and when she came out again, she categorically refused, and Su Chi already understood seven points in her heart, so she put her mind in her heart, and said a few words of concern for Su Yao's illness and went out.
Su Chi came out of the Yuwang Mansion, looking at the high-walled family here and now only a few female dependents, he couldn't help but sigh. Su Chi looked at a few shops along the street, followed the account book right, the New Year is approaching, everything must be taken care of. Fortunately, even without Xie Yu's help now, she can be handy and unhurried.
Su Chi had already walked around in the afternoon before he knew it, and remembered that he hadn't been to the theater for a long time, so he let the carriage run to the theater.
When Su Chi arrived at the theater club, he learned that Yi Ya went to Xie Yuan to ask Xie Yu for some things, Su Chi was a little curious, so he stayed in the private room and ordered "Peach Blossom Fan" and hummed. Qiu Niang heard Si Fu say that Su Chi had not eaten yet, so she hurriedly brought some hot food to them, all of which were light pastries, not sweet and greasy, Su Chi was in a good mood, and she liked the opera club more and more.
Yi Ya came back at this time, he was still cold, Su Chi looked at him with joy on his face, and asked, "What's the matter, so happy?" ”
Yi Ya shook his cloak and poured himself hot tea to eat: "It's not a happy event, it's just that I asked Mr. Xie about the taxes of the previous dynasty, it's really better to listen to your words, than to read for ten years!" ”
"Bei Chuan is very talented in reading, and he often remembers what others remember five or ten times over and over again, which is probably God's appreciation for food!"
"Coincidentally, Mr. Xie said the same about you! Did the girl call him in front of Mr. Xie? "Yi Ya is not interesting, and Su Chi often calls him "Yi Ya", but Xie Yu is a serious family son, and he is afraid that he will be more particular about this kind of etiquette. Although Su Chi is the lord of the county, but in the end, the two masters and apprentices are different, and they should still be called honorific according to convention.
Su Chi didn't care, "In private, I often call him Beichuan, he is not such a mediocre person!" Besides, we've known each other for more than ten years, so it's not out of place to say anything. The tax matter you mentioned to me last time was delayed because of the matter of the father of the house, and I will mention it to him in a few days, and your side is also about to close for the New Year, so this theater should be handed over to someone else to take care of. Is your sister in Jinling now? For the New Year, why don't you go home together for the New Year? ”
Yi Ya slowly put down the teacup, his heart was hot, and he sighed: "Before I knew it, several years had passed. My sister got married last year, and although her brother-in-law is older, she treats her well, and now she has nothing else to look forward to. "Back then, Su Chi rescued their sisters and brothers in Yueyinfang, and changed their slave status, and now they can buy and sell and operate, get married and have children like ordinary people, how rare! The life that others are accustomed to is like a gift to him, and because of this, he is more grateful and easily satisfied with life.
Su Chi shook his cup, a little relieved and a little disappointed, "Why don't you say anything when you get married?" I prepared a congratulatory gift for another day, and you forwarded it for me. ”
Yi Ya also smiled, "It's not easy for the girl to come out, so I don't have to send a letter for this inconsequential matter, but since you want to give a gift, thank you in advance." Because of his age and innocent identity, although Su Chi got rid of the slavery for the two, Yi Ya kept a low profile and did not want the Su family to be criticized because of this. Although Su Chi is the daughter of the Su family, there is still a brother above him after all, and he doesn't want her to trouble.
"You go to Beechuan, do Beechuan's legs and feet have any sense in winter?" The weather is getting colder day by day, and seeing that the New Year is approaching, Su Chi always thinks of Xie Yulai.
Over the years, Xie Yu has actually been her closest person besides her father and brother. Since she was a child, Su Chi clearly knew that her father liked her, not only because of the relatives of the students, but also because she would be able to make sacrifices for the Su family in the future; Although Suzen let her everywhere, Suzen rarely played with her when she went out; Ning Lizhen doted on her, and if there was no hint of affection mixed with the young man, Xie Yu was the only one among these people.
For her, Xie Yu cares about her body like a father and brother, and like a confidant and good friend, and they talk about everything. Xie Yu is even more competent as a teacher, and his profound knowledge has opened a door to knowledge for Suchi, who is eager to learn. When Suchi needed information from the outside world, Xie Yu worked hard and could do anything. There are many things that need to be hidden and things that cannot be told to his father and brother, Xie Yu can be a good listener and practitioner.
"A few days ago, the four girls in the house found someone to make a set of wheelchairs for Mr. Xie, which looked very practical, and said that if it hurts badly in winter, don't go to the ground again." Yi Ya also felt very sorry when he said this, it was a pity that a good young man of Tianzong ended up so much because of his family's considerations.
Su Chi's eyes darkened, "The fourth sister said that Biechuan's leg will be difficult to heal in this life. However, Seon is not blessed. It was precisely because of the shallow and faint relationship between Xie Yu and Su Ya that Su Chi resolutely allowed his father to change the candidate for marriage with Jin Lanqi from Su Ya to Su Jing.
Yi Ya faintly heard the meaning of the second half of Su Chi's sentence, but it was about the reputation of the female dependent, and Yi Ya didn't want to ask too much, so he pretended to be deaf and dumb and didn't answer, Su Chi commanded again: "These days, you can try to arrange someone to go to King Yu's mansion, King Yu has just left Jinling, and it is the time to shorten the manpower, but the side princess is cautious." Su Chi thought for a moment, "It's not necessarily, although she is cautious, but at the moment, I'm afraid that she doesn't have this time." If the fourth girl and the side princess meet, they should also pay attention, especially where and who follows. ”
"Yes, Jin Lanqi and Jin Gongzi came twice when Yasukuni had an accident before, and the girl can see it?" Regarding Jin Lanqi, Yi Ya looked at Su Chi's attitude and turned cold again and again. In fact, when Yi Ya and Su Chi met in Yueyin Fang, Jin Lanqi could also be regarded as contributing, so Yi Ya really hoped that the two could get rid of their old suspicions and get back together. Su Chi doesn't have many friends, and he and Fu Nanqiao have gradually drifted apart, and Jin Lanqi is one of the few friends.
When Su Chi heard the name Jin Lanqi, he hesitated for a moment before returning to normal, and teased: "His wedding date is approaching, and he still has the leisure to waste with us?" It seems that the Jin family's family rules are not very strict, so Jin Lanque should be allowed to take care of it. ”
Yi Ya didn't expect Su Chi to have such a non-caring attitude, "I heard that the Jin family almost broke their heads in order to compete for the position of the head of the family, and in recent years, the head of the Jin family has not been in good health, and he has run out of oil and dried up." It is also human that the eldest son of the Jin family has no time to discipline his cousin. ”
Su Chi also knew the situation of the Jin family, otherwise he would not have talked about this marriage contract in person that day: "Dad always sighs that the Su family is thin, but fortunately, there is no need to go through these messy things." ”
Yi Ya disagreed, "The brotherhood is not actually because of the number of men, but more about the relationship between the brothers, their temperament and the education they receive. For example, if you are a girl, if you are the second son in the family, not the only daughter, will you compete with the son for the heir position? ”
Su Chi was surprised and said with a smile: "If I am a boy in the family? How could you have such a grotesque idea? It's impossible. ”
"Of course, this is impossible, but it is just a hypothesis. But I must not be the only one who has had such an assumption, and I guess Mr. Beskawa and even Kokugong have had such an idea. With all due respect, although the prince seems to love the son, what is the intention of delaying the position of the prince again and again? Doesn't the prince have a thought in his heart? You told me to hide the little son, don't you really think much about this? ”
"Although the eldest brother is a little more sensitive in the matter of his father, he will never be so open-minded, and we discussed taking the child into the house a few days ago. As for myself, I know what you're trying to say, and I know that my dad has loved me since I was a child, especially my eldest brother, but I've always avoided it. A few days ago, I found out that after so many years, even though the eldest brother is already the son of the Guogong Mansion, my father has not even introduced Modi. In the past, my father hinted to me several times that Mo Di was the chief adviser of the Su family, but the eldest brother had been kept in the dark for such a big matter. Yi Ya, do you think there is something wrong with this? Su Chi originally wanted to talk to Xie Yu, Xie Yu and Su Cen and Su Yuan met a lot, and he had a vicious eye, but since Yi Ya mentioned it, there was no need to shy away from it, so he simply chatted with him.
"Could it be that the prince and the prince often disagree?"
Su Chi shook his head, "Daddy is not a stubborn person, he has always been kind and flowing, although the eldest brother often has different opinions, but he respects his father very much. Forget it, I'll think about it again, but you just mentioned the matter of the Jin family? ”
"Why, am I not right? What's wrong? Yi Ya thought that he had said something wrong.
"No, no, no, because the Su family is often inquired about by His Majesty, my father is very concerned about Nanqi, and this is why I have the information of the Jin family. Where did you know that? "Your Majesty's youth was the heyday of the Southern Qi Dynasty, and the history books of etiquette and religion insisted that the surroundings were barbarians, and later this became a cinnabar mole in His Majesty's heart. In addition, in the past few years, the scenery of Southern Qi has ceased to be, and the decay inside has been exposed day by day, and the two armies have been in constant friction.
"It's not difficult, in recent years, there have been many businessmen from Nanqi, and their silk satin is softer and cheaper than ours, and it is very popular with large families. It is expensive to live in the city, and many people simply go to the silk village in the city to talk about business during the day, and stay here at night to listen to music and drink, and chat by the way. ”
When Su Chi heard this, he temporarily remembered: "So that's the case, silk satin is indeed a good thing, no wonder Your Majesty always wants to knock down Nanqi, it is really a rich treasure land!" Your drama club has done a lot of work, why don't I open a few silk villages in the new year, you can help take care of it, and by the way, pay more attention to the things in Nanqi? ”
Yi Ya couldn't cry or laugh, Su Chi sometimes did say that the wind was rain, and had to confirm it again: "The girl is serious?" ”
Su Chi nodded, "It's more real than gold." ”
Yi Ya frowned, "Doesn't the Su family's industry need to be reported to the State Gazette?" ”
"I really reported this kind of thing, and my father didn't have time to watch it. What's more, for the Su family, which is the tip of the iceberg, these silver are the same everywhere. If you don't feel at ease, I won't take money from the Su family, just take money from me. Don't worry, I guarantee that the money road is clean. Su Chi's last sentence was a joke, but Yi Ya was as careful as ever.
"In that case, the girl will arrange it then."
Suddenly someone knocked on the door, Su Chi raised his eyes, and Xie Yu asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Outside the door was Qiu Niang's delicate and soft voice: "Lord Xilu from Qinghe Palace's Mansion is here, do you want to meet?" ”
Yi Ya turned his head and explained, "The people from Qinghe Palace's Mansion have been coming a lot recently, but I'm afraid that this time I got the news that the girl is here." ”
"Isn't there something wrong with coming so often?" Su Chi was a little surprised, I hadn't heard of it!
Yi Ya looked at her strangely, "King Qinghe mentioned it once, saying that the girl refused the invitation for no reason before, and wanted to ask clearly in person: Did the subordinate rudely bump into the girl?" ”
Su Chi was a little confused and touched his head: "When did it happen?" Where did you send the prayer post? ”
"It was about ten days ago, when the Yasukuni Gong was still in prison, and it was said that it was sent to the Guogong Mansion to pay a tribute."
Su Chi recalled carefully and made sure that he had not refused any prayers, "I'm afraid it's a misunderstanding, I don't remember." ”
Yi Ya was also surprised, and then smiled: "Then this misunderstanding is big, I heard that King Qinghe scolded the person who went to deliver the post that day, and finally rewarded him with twenty rods." ”
Su Chi didn't expect him to be so arrogant, and the willfulness of the superior is to make people pay, and he immediately sympathized with the person who sent the worship sticker: "Do you know who sent it?" ”
"I don't know, but I've only heard that it's about the surname Yan."
Su Chi remembered a childlike face, "Yan knows? Yan knew that he was originally going to be arranged by Yan Jin to enter the East Palace, but later because he offended King Ke in the border city, he was inserted in the middle, and he accidentally entered the Qinghe Palace. Now that he has been subjected to it for no reason, Su Chi is really not worth it, and Yan knows that this beating is really not worth it. Twenty rods, so heavy? is probably angry, Chongyao is really not a cruel person!
"You let Xilu in, I'll ask."
