Su Chi sat in Su Yuan's study, idly reading Su Cen's letter to Su Yuan, looking intent. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Suyuan took out the letter in his hand and patted her on the head: "A-Cen gives you one every three days, and only one every ten days here for your father, and after you read your letter, do you want A-Cen to write it to your father?"

Su Chi Nunu mouthed, "Daddy ate his daughter's vinegar?" When the eldest brother comes back, Ah Chi will definitely tell him." My eldest brother always coaxed me as a child, and the letters he wrote to me only talked about the local food and food customs, or told stories and anecdotes, but the letters to my father only talked about the situation in Xuanzhou City. If you don't take a look, I really don't know that this Xuanzhou City has become like this. ”

"Aren't you just a child? Xuanzhou's affairs are not only hidden from you, but even your father knows that A岑 is a big move this time. Su Yuan got up and approved the official document, and he couldn't see his joy or anger.

Su Chi looked at Su Yuan's expression, Su Cen was unexpectedly put in Xuanzhou by his father this time, and the eldest brother was a newcomer who was not afraid of tigers and directly imprisoned almost half of the officials in Xuanzhou City, and even planned to draw up an ironclad evidence that Jinling officials and expatriate officials privately conferred and received each other. After all, it is such a big matter, and Su Yuan has always remained neutral, Su Chi is not sure whether Su Yuan will object, so he can only ask tentatively: "No matter how much the eldest brother thinks, don't you still have to come and ask your father?"

Su Yuan knew Su Chi's careful thoughts, and patted her head again: "If A-Cen has your careful thoughts, I can rest assured." Your brothers and sisters have the same temperament, they all say that three points have already done seven points, and since Achen came to ask me, he must have everything. Even if my father doesn't agree, I'm afraid I have to agree. ”

Su Chi chewed this sentence, looked at Su Yuan with bright eyes, and smiled sweetly: "It's not that Daddy deliberately connived!" She held Su Yuan's arm and coquettishly, very handy. Although Su Chi's affairs outside are secret, since Chongyao can find out, it is not surprising that Su Yuan can find out.

Su Yuan pointed to the chair in front of him and motioned for Su Chi to sit down: "Ah Chi, as my daughter, although you have been dressed in brocade and jade since you were a child, you have paid no less than others. The girls on the side only need to read a few "Female Rings" and "Women's Rules", and those who are a little smart don't read a few poetry books, but you have learned from Xie Beichuan since you were a child, and the sixty-four arts you learned from clan studies, and you have studied for a few years from the martial arts hall, and you are greedy for darkness almost every day. ”

Su Chi shook his head: "Daddy, I like to read, and I never suffer from it." ”

Su Yuan didn't agree, and stood up: "The hard work that my father said doesn't stop there, the physical hard work is nothing, you will pay more in the future, just like your aunt." ”

When Su Yuan said this, he had already turned around and said to Su Chi seriously: "You see that our Su family has been inherited for many years, and the family in Jinling has changed batch after batch over the years, but the Su family has always been evergreen. But how does the world know how many women from the Su family have married far away, and how many have been sent to the palace to waste their lives? Your aunt loved to laugh very much before entering the palace, she liked the kitchen, she was nostalgic for flowers and plants, and she loved children very much. But after so many years, she can't even have a child, do you think she has a good life in her heart?"

Su Chi pursed her lips and was silent, a plain girl can't have children, and a plain girl who enters the palace and marries the royal family can't have it.

Su Yuan continued: "It's not that my father is greedy for power and obsessed with government politics, it's just that the Su family has no room to retreat today. Once the Su family has the intention of retreating, I am afraid that it will be an abyss immediately, and you can see that the Shu family is a lesson from the past. ”

"So Daddy used to ask his eldest brother to study for the sake of Zangfeng?"

Su Yuan nodded, "You've always been smart. ”

"Since you want to hide Feng, why do you want to recommend the eldest brother to Xuanzhou? The prince's elder brother has already gone to Xuanzhou, presumably his identity and ability, disaster relief is not a problem. ”

Su Yuan disagreed: "Ah Chi, you have known the crown prince for many years, do you think he may be qualified for the position of the crown prince?"

In Su Chi's memory, Su Yuan has always been serious and well-behaved, and such questioning is already taboo, but there is no one here at the moment, so Su Chi has to say truthfully: "My daughter thinks that the prince's brother is indeed the best candidate for the prince today." ”

Su Yuan narrowed his eyes and raised his voice: "Ah Chi, have I taught you to put aside your personal emotions when thinking about problems. ”

Su Chi frowned, it seemed that everyone thought that she was loyal to Ning Lizhen, so she said in a deep voice: "My daughter is not burdened by emotions, but there is now a secret smoke between the princes, and only the succession of the prince's brother can make the family and the country safe." "Only Ning Lizhen's benevolence can prevent the princes from fratricidal and father-son suspicions.

Su Yuan was stunned for a moment, and suddenly smiled: "Ah Chi, no second person except you would think like this." You should have heard of how His Majesty's throne came about. The royal struggle for the throne is certainly dangerous, but how can this not be an experience? If you can't even survive the rivalry between your own brothers, how can you face the future civil war and foreign enemies? In other words, when you go from the prince to the throne, this is undoubtedly a proof of means and scheming. And this is precisely what His Majesty has in mind. ”

"With ability and prestige, Your Majesty must be afraid, if you don't have a wrist, you can't even enter Your Majesty's eyes. Su Chi thought this was a bit ridiculous, and asked the horses not to eat grass, and to ask the horses to run well.

"Anyway, there are many children in the royal family, and it is enough to leave one, depending on who can win His Majesty's heart. Su Yuan smiled casually.

Su Chi nodded, it may be a preconceived reason, she always hopes that the world of Beiwan is Ning Lizhen's, so she still added: "In Ah Chi's heart, the prince's brother is the king of the prosperous world." ”

Su Yuan raised his eyebrows, "What if he loses you one day?"

Su Chi's eyes widened, "Let him go." "In the face of Su Yuan, Su Chi can't say that he is unwilling to enter the palace, Su Yuan is a person who wants to dedicate his whole life to the Su family, and is willing to give everything for the Su family, in his eyes, anyone in the Su family should sacrifice for the Su family. What's more, it's an only beloved daughter who has been nurtured wholeheartedly? Sometimes Su Chi can't tell the difference, whether his father treats him well is because he licks the calf affectionately or because he is the future palace concubine?

Su Yuan only thought that Su Chi was young and thin-skinned, so he didn't care, but he remembered another matter: "Ah Chi, the marriage between Su Jing and Lan Qi has been finalized, and this matter is up to you to talk to Lan Que." ”

Su Chi frowned, and listened to Su Yuan again, "Ah Chi, the matter has been decided, this is for the Su family, the Su family needs this marriage, and Lan Qi also needs it, you don't let your kindness do bad things, do you understand what it means to be a father?"

Seeing Su Chi nodded, Su Yuan said again: "The identity of being a father is too conspicuous to meet Lan Qi, and unlike you, you will not attract much attention at your age." You just need to remember that Lan Que's weakness is the position of the heir of the Lan family, and it is not difficult to know this if the snake hits seven inches. ”

Su Chi knew that since Su Yuan said so, there would definitely be no room for maneuver in this matter, Su Jing's temperament seemed to be hot and stubborn, but in fact, it was the easiest to be flexible, so there was no need to worry. But on Lan Qi's side, Lan Qi actually agreed? Although he has a lot of confidants, he never seems to have any intention of getting married.

Su Chi nodded, "Daddy, don't worry." ”

Su Yuan still instructed, "Ah Chi, there is one thing you have to remember, this time Nanqi sent to Beiwan, it is a heavy task. ”

"What's the heavy lift?"

"The Southern Qi is declining, and even the Yan Kingdom dares to fight, so I came to Beiwan to get married. Su Yuan thought about it, and said to Su Chi.

Su Chi was a little confused, "Your Majesty has already had the intention of attacking Southern Qi, since this is the case, why do you still agree to the marriage?"

"When the two countries go to war, they must also be famous. What's more, His Majesty is reluctant to send the princess over, and the noble girl in the capital points to one casually, and she is crowned a princess, which can be regarded as the ancestral Yin virtue. Su Yuan smiled very sarcastically, the daughter of his Su family was extremely noble, so he was unwilling to be this cannon fodder. "But you naturally don't have to worry, he Lan Que doesn't dare to open his mouth, you are the concubine of the Su family, you don't have to worry about your future. ”

Su Chi got out of Su Yuan's study, and suddenly felt tired, his father had to deal with the affairs of the government every day, and the eldest brother was making a big move in Xuanzhou, and now Jinling is really in turmoil!

Although Su Chi has put this matter in his heart, it is not a casual thing to invite Lan Que. But I didn't expect it to bump into it, that day Su Chi and Fu Nanqiao were listening to the play in Yueyinfang, and Fu Nanqiao suddenly received a report from the house slave at home, saying that Princess Rong Nobunaga had a heart attack, and she fainted directly because she couldn't get up in one breath. Su Chi didn't know what happened to make the eldest princess irritated, but considering the relationship between the Su family and the Hou Mansion, she had to appease Nan Qiao and hurriedly sent someone to escort her back.

Su Chi was sitting alone listening to the play, and suddenly heard Wei Ming come to report: "Girl, Lan Que Gongzi is visiting." ”

Su Chi was startled, could it be that he already knew, Su Chi pondered and asked someone to come in.

As soon as Lan Que came in, he hurriedly glanced at Su Chi, and then looked around in the room, this action was a little rude, Su Chi felt uncomfortable, but he still smiled: "Lan Que Gongzi?"

Only then did Lan Que stop looking, retract his gaze and fall on Su Chi: "The county lord of Tujia is here alone to listen to the play?"

Su Chi was a little strange, "Is Lan Que looking for someone? Looking for Brother Lan Qi?" Su Chi and Lan Qi like to make an appointment to listen to operas and dances in Yueyin Fang, and sometimes drink some wine, so it's not strange that Lan Que is looking for Lan Qi here. Su Chi just didn't expect that he only heard that the eldest prince of the Lan family had no one in his eyes, and now it seems that he actually knows whether he is an honor or not.

Lan Que seemed disappointed, "It's okay, I'm bothering the county lord." ”

Su Chi didn't send him, "Childe is slow." ”

Lan Que turned around, "Is there anything else to do with the county lord?"

Su Chi got up and went to open the window, "The Su family has a happy event that they want to discuss with their son, I wonder if the son is interested?"

Lan Que twisted his eyebrows, and Su Chi saw that he was hesitant, "Childe, please take a seat." ”

"In fact, it is indeed a good thing, my father said that the son of Lan Qi is good-looking, literate and hyphenated, and wants to make it a good family. I have a cousin in my family who is quite old, good at calligraphy, and happy to write poetry.

Lan Que frowned, "Shouldn't this kind of thing be discussed by the two patriarchs? The identity of the county lord is not suitable, and he is only an elder brother, and he has no right to decide on the marriage matter." ”

Su Chi smiled, "Since the lord of this county dares to say it, it is naturally the intention of the father, as for the prince of Lanque, as the eldest brother, the eldest brother has been the father since ancient times, as long as you agree to this matter today, this marriage will be considered to be completed." ”

"The county lord has contributed to this matter like this, dare to ask what is the benefit of this matter to the Su family?"

"Childe is an understanding person, and his words are straight to the point. Soji smiled.

"My son has just arrived, and I don't know the situation in your Beiwan, but I also know that your Su family is the most cunning, and I'm afraid that this deal is not cost-effective. If this son does what you want, I don't know where there will be traps waiting for you?" Lan Que took a glass of wine and sat lazily on the side.

Su Chi now knows the true face of this person, but this situation is not bad, it is easier than talking around the bend, so Su Chi is kind and seductive: "In fact, the biggest beneficiary of this marriage is not the Su family, naturally it is not Lan Qi, but Lan Que, the son." ”

Lan Que laughed and mocked: "The county lord is telling a joke?"

"Naturally not, Childe, please listen to me, although Lan Qi has been in Beiwan for many years, he has never been willing to settle down here, doesn't Childe know what he means?"

Lan Que sneered, "Could it be that he still has the intention of going back?"

"Childe is smart, I have known him for many years except for this reason, and I really can't think of any other reason. But my cousin treats him with sincerity, and you should also hear that the daughter of the Su family is not allowed to marry in another country. ”

Lan Que nodded, already having a thought.

"If the two of them get married, my father will definitely try his best to keep him, so that Lan Qi will never return to Nanqi again, isn't this what you want, son?"

Lan Que smiled, "County Lord, please continue." "He has a calculation in his eyes, and he already has a mind.

Su Chi smiled, "What's more, as long as he has an in-law relationship with my Su family, I'm afraid that even if he has the ability to return to Nanqi, the family of Nanqi will not allow him to take the throne." Your Lan family will not allow a woman from another country to be the housewife, right, in this way, won't the son have no competitors?"

"So, I just want to ask: What does the Su family want?"

"This is a matter of the Su family, don't bother with you, son. Childe now just needs to tell me whether you agree or disagree with this marriage. But don't blame me for saying ugly things ahead, if Prince Lan Que can't see the situation clearly in this matter, if he Lan Qi returns to the Lan family, don't blame me Su for meddling in your Lan family's affairs. ”

"County Lord, is this a threat?"

"Thanks to the promotion of the son, but each is its own master, you and I have our own position, but cooperation is a win-win situation. I really don't understand: why don't you do it?" Su Chi's words have already said this, but Lan Que is obviously full of suspicions about the Su family, but Su Chi has already promised Su Yuan about this matter, and he is not allowed to refute it.

"Deal. ”
