Chapter 163: Departure is imminent
Su Chi didn't know what method Chongyao used, but three days after they met that day, Yan knew that he actually came to report it. Even Su Yuan knew about it, and he deliberately asked during the meal, Su Chi prevaricated, and Su Yuan and Su Cen looked away at each other.
Lingfeng was sent by Su Chi to Yiya's side to do things, and Yiya, the industry that he originally wanted to buy after the year, has already started, and Taoqiu Opera Club has already been on the right track, and now Yiya has also become "Boss Yi" in Jinling. However, because Su Chi wants to buy an industry in Nanqi, Yi Ya wants to go over in person, and this trip is only afraid that it will be a short time. Su Chi originally wanted Yi Ya to go with Fu Nanqiao's wedding team, but Su Chi knocked on Su Jiang's side and found that the marriage seemed to be undecided in a short time.
So at this time, Yi Ya and Xie Yu are meeting, today is the twenty-third day of the lunar month, which is a small year in the lunar calendar, and it can be regarded as a happy event for the god of the stove. But Xie Yu is not lively here, he has resolutely cut off relations with the Xie family since the accident that year, except for the surname Xie on his head, he has almost no contact with the Xie family. The old man of the Xie family was seriously ill a few years ago, Xie Yu hesitated and never went back, for the Xie family, he was really dead.
When Yi Ya came in, he saw that Xie Yu's long Suizi Lu was hanging red lanterns, and he looked up and said in surprise: "Didn't Mr. Xie dislike red in previous years?" Xie Yu is a scholar, I don't know if he has been in Sujia for a long time, but he loves plain and light colors like Su Chi, and he really doesn't look down on bright colors such as red and yellow. That's why Yiya has this question.
Changlu saw that it was Yi Ya, and also said New Year's greetings, "Originally, it was not hung as usual, the lantern was given by the girl, but it was the fourth girl who ordered us to hang it up." This lantern is hung to have the taste of the New Year!"
New Year's goods such as Suchi lanterns are sent to Xie Yuan every year, and this year it was Su Ya who insisted on hanging it, and Xie Yu actually acquiesced, Yi Ya smiled and stepped in.
Xie Yu was reading when Yi Ya entered, and when he saw him coming, he folded the book upside down and put it on the table. Yi Ya glanced at it inadvertently, and saw that it was Ben Zhiwei, "Mr. Xie also looks at this?"
"What else can you do for the Chinese New Year? The people below collected it two days ago, and I plan to send it to Ah Chi, interested?" Xie Yu handed the book to Yi Ya, he knew about Yi Ya's writing, and as a reader, he didn't look at those messy things. But Su Chi likes it, and Xie Yu only watches.
"I'm interested, but I'm afraid I won't have a chance to read it. Yi Ya returned the book as it was, and said leisurely.
Xie Yu didn't understand the meaning of Yi Ya's words, "Is there something to do with you during the New Year?" It stands to reason that Yi Ya can almost let go of the affairs of Taoqiu Opera Club, although the New Year is the peak season, but he doesn't have to be in charge himself.
"The girl wants to open a few shops in Nanqi, I plan to go there in person, and everything here depends on Mr. Xie. โ
"Has it already been decided? How can it be so good, I remembered to go to Nanqi to open a shop, how long are you going to go this time?" Xie Yu was a little unprepared, Su Chi always had a lot of unexpected fresh ideas. She likes something different, and the idea shouldn't have been a whim.
"It's been decided, the theater club has been arranged, thinking that now that it's over, Nanqi should be the beginning of spring. There must be a lot of Zhuangzi shops to sell out in the spring, and this is a good time to do business. โ
"I don't know anything about business, but is it really necessary to go all the way this far?"
Originally, it was just a girl talking casually, but if you want to find out about King Ke's affairs in Nanqi, plus the princess of the Fu family, the son of the Jin family will go to Nanqi sooner or later, so it's not wrong to keep a little more mind. โ
Xie Yu naturally knew that Su Chi loved the things of Nanqi, or that the entire Su family, including Su Yuan Sucen and several girls of the Su family, preferred the things of Nanqi. Su Chi likes their cloth and silk, drama and music, Su Ya likes their spice sachets, and Su Yuan likes the tea leaves of Nanqi, but will it be worth the loss to go to Nanqi to open a shop with such a big effort. Xie Yu suddenly chewed Yi Ya's words, "What are you talking about, Jin Lanqi wants to go back to Nanqi? He is a proton, what are you doing when he suddenly returns to Nanqi?"
Su Chi inadvertently mentioned two sentences to Yi Ya, but Yi Ya heard Xie Yu's tone and knew that Su Chi had never told Xie Yu about it, Yi Ya secretly scolded himself in his heart, so he explained to Su Chi: "I only heard the girl mention it slightly, saying that it was a marriage transaction between the Su family and Jin Lanqi, and that the girl went to talk about it herself." โ
Xie Yu knew about this, and when he heard about it, he was a little funny: In the past, Ah Chi, a family of Jinling Metropolis, probably fell in love with the amorous and turbid son Jin Lanqi, and was confused by his rhetoric, so he ignored the Peony Prince. But Su Chi, in a blink of an eye, he personally went to talk to the male protagonist in the scandal about marriage with his sister, fortunately, few people knew about it, otherwise I don't know what it would be. Unexpectedly, when this marriage was negotiated, there were people who wrote a notebook for the Su family sisters to fight for men, Xie Yu couldn't cry or laugh when he heard about it from Yi Ya.
At that time, the three of them drank a little wine at Yi Ya's place, and Yi Ya and Xie Yu joked about Jin Lanqi's marriage and asked Su Chi what he thought. Su Chi shook his head a little smoky, "A match made in heaven!" Su Chi didn't prevaricate, in his opinion, Su Jing and Jin Lanqi are actually the same kind of people in essence, they are both people who can infinitely succumb to what they want, and this kind of person will live well.
Although Jin Lanqi has been uninhibited and loves freedom since he was a child, in order to get the position of the young master of the Jin family, he did not hesitate when he agreed to the marriage. seems to have love and pity for Fu Nanqiao, but he has never had any intimate contact with her in public, and he doesn't even have any commitments when he thinks about it. Because he knew very well in his heart that he could not afford to give anything to himself.
And what about Su Jing? Su Chi doesn't know if the two of them have ever met or known, but except for the initial ineffective resistance, Su Jing showed the greatest sincerity to this marriage. As the most influential family in Southern Qi, Su Yuan promised Su Jing the position of the wife of the main family, and when Su Jing's ambition was satisfied, she began to pay great attention to etiquette teaching. Such a life partner is what Jin Lanqi, who is chasing status, needs, and these two are really a match made in heaven!
"This marriage also promised to send Jin Lanqi back to Jinling?" "How to eliminate his identity as a proton and let Jin Lanqi return to Nanqi?"
"I didn't say it explicitly, but it was said that the five girls learned the etiquette of Nanqi, so there was this speculation. Alternatively, Mr. Xie can find time to ask the fourth girl. Yi Ya's last sentence was to laugh, although Xie Yu is bold, but sometimes very sensitive, Yi Ya is in a good mood recently, so he just said that.
Xie Yu turned his face as if he didn't know anything about Yi Ya's teasing: "Has Ah Chi been going to the theater club a lot lately?"
"It's been coming a lot lately, and I've come here at both ends in three days, but it's just ยทยทยทยทยทยท" Yi Ya stopped talking and gave Xie Yu a look.
Xie Yu received the information, or confirmed: "His Royal Highness King Qinghe is also here?"
Yi Ya nodded, and the atmosphere of gossip in his heart suddenly rose to the extreme: "Sir, do you think that the girl is serious this time? Xie Yu has been by Su Chi's side for so many years, and Su Chi has had a lot of gossip heroes around him for so many years, Xie Yu or a bystander. Yi Ya thought so, and naturally felt that asking Xie Yu was really the right person. The authorities are fascinated by bystanders, but I am afraid that Su Chi himself has not seen it clearly by Xie Yu.
But he didn't expect Xie Yu to take a deep breath when he heard this question, and only after a while did he ask, "What do you think?"
Yi Ya felt that he couldn't lift it in one breath, "Although His Royal Highness King Changxin and the girl have the blessing of two parents, although the girl in distress of King Changxin is displeased, it is not a gaffe afterwards. For the initiator,Don't say a word.,Now it seems that it's at most a childhood sweetheart.ใ โ
Xie Yu sneered, "You see it now, and people all over the world think it's like this, but it was definitely not the case at the beginning." When the two of them met from time to time, they went back and forth together in the Buddhist temple to lecture on martial arts, and the palace banquets were also in and out of pairs, you have never been to the Su family, so naturally you don't know the girl's daily necessities His Royal Highness the prince almost moved the East Palace. Outsiders say that they are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, and the two families want to kiss and add a pro-vegetarian girl to the palace, which is by no means groundless. However, the Yasukuni Gong said slightly, and the girl turned away the gifts from the East Palace and almost cut off contact with the East Palace. โ
"What about Jin Lanqi? I used to see that the two of them often frolicked and drank together, and the girl of Jin Gongzi's Gezhai was also practical, but now it seems that she doesn't seem to have this intention?"
"At the right time, do the right thing, people from the plain family have always been like this. Xie Yu's answer is interesting. "She has been precocious since she was a child, and she knows how to properly show her well-behaved and intelligent in front of Yasukuni Gong without losing her character, Yasukuni Gong loves her well-known, but because of this, she was isolated by the sisters in the clan and stumbled by the women in the backyard, and she can deal with these things appropriately. Then she took the opportunity to take the power of presiding over the feed, and everyone else had to look at her face to live. And then go out step by step, she is a frequent visitor to the Chongxi Hall of the noble concubine, and your drama club is not the only source of news for her. She is restless, but she knows how to measure herself. In the Su family, she worked step by step, but she never did anything that really went against the will of the Su family. โ
Xie Yu often speaks coldly, it is very rare to say so much today, Yi Ya chewed his words carefully, he didn't know these things. For the Su family, Yi Ya heard a few words from Su Chi's mouth, but Su Chi often didn't speak deeply, and Yi Ya was not really determined to investigate. So all along, Yi Ya looked at Su Chi more comfortable than the noble girl next to him, and only felt that Yasukuni Gong himself was very open-minded and very fond of his daughter, and he also heard that Su Cen's brother and sister had a good relationship. As for King Changxin, Su Chi rarely mentioned it, Jin Lanqi, Su Chi became more and more reluctant to mention it.
"I was also optimistic about King Changxin back then, this person is different from other clan children, he has a kind of nobility that the royal family does not have, and the reputation of Prince Peony is by no means in vain. What is even more rare is that the Duke of Yasukuni admires him very much, and the girl treats him very affectionately. Not to mention the engagement, the appearance of the two going in and out together back then was not abrupt even if it was a big wedding. Later, the Duke of Yasukuni was dissatisfied that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince only made friends with the ministers in the court, believing that there was a suspicion of selling fame and reputation, and after several warnings, the East Palace and the Yasukuni Mansion fell into a cold war. The girl also went out to see King Changxin a few times at that time, and then the relationship between the two families gradually faded. Xie Yu remembered that Ning Lizhen was still full of praise, as a prince, although Ning Lizhen had less means, he was definitely a generation of Ming Jun, Xie Yu glanced at Yi Ya, opened his eyes and continued: "The girl was also a little dissatisfied with the Duke of Yasukuni at that time, but I didn't only have pity and sympathy in her mouth. โ
"It's strange to say, she has always been a qualified daughter of a plain family, loyal to the family, clean and neat, and dignified and elegant in front of outsiders, but she is extremely reluctant to enter the palace. At first, I thought she was embarrassed and reluctant to mention the marriage in front of others, but later I resisted it even more. I realized that she really didn't want to enter the palace. Xie Yu said one by one, although Yi Ya and Su Chi got acquainted a little later, Yi Ya can look at people's faces and speak, and Su Chi also likes to listen to him chat, so the two have a close relationship.
Xie Yu said this, but he also wanted to hear Yi Ya's opinion.
Yi Ya pondered, "I think this is not difficult to understand, the girl often said to me, in this life, I only want to read thousands of books and travel thousands of miles, and it is not difficult to be the first one with ten thousand books in her home, but the difficult thing is that the deep boudoir woman wants to go thousands of miles away from the world." What's more, sir, you are also from a wealthy family, so you naturally know that the women of the deep house are struggling to live in the backyard, and I am afraid that this is even more true in the court. Su Chi has expressed his longing for freedom in front of Yi Ya more than once, because he knows his fate and is afraid all day long, unwilling to face such a scene. Caught in the harem strife, even if she is really like a concubine, where is the life she wants?
Xie Yu didn't understand Yi Ya's statement, or he thought it was very ridiculous, isn't serving the emperor's side something that all women in the world want? Su Chi's mind is often incomprehensible, Xie Yu only feels that it is rare for her to have a little bit of a little girl's willfulness.
For this answer, Xie Yu expressed his disagreement with silence, and Yi Ya didn't ask any more questions, and threw the question back: "Then, His Royal Highness King Qinghe seems to be also determined to win the throne, shouldn't the girl stay away from him?"
Xie Yu put down the teacup and didn't care: "She seems to have a close relationship with His Royal Highness King Qinghe, but have you ever seen her give the slightest promise? Can there be tokens and physical evidence left for King Qinghe? It's just a cooperation between the two, what is the difference between them compared to the previous ones? Once King Qinghe falls out of favor with His Majesty, they will be as clean as if nothing had happened." โ
Yi Ya didn't agree with Xie Yu's opinion, but he still frowned and thought along Xie Yu's train of thought: "King Qinghe doesn't look like a good person, is it really okay for a girl like this?"
Xie Yu's mocking expression came out again, and he said: "Who do you think is good in Jinling City, this is her personal ability." โ
Yi Ya felt that the two still had different views, so he shook his head and disagreed, the two have always sought common ground while reserving differences and did not argue, Yi Ya said goodbye and got up.
"Don't worry, I will naturally take care of the affairs of Jinling, and you don't have to see the outside world. Xie Yu made a promise, and it can be regarded as a promise.
