Chapter Seventy-Seven: Family Affairs
"The old lady wants to see the fourth lady?"
Mother Shen didn't do it immediately, but looked at the old lady with wide eyes, as if she didn't know the old lady. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On weekdays, the eldest lady brought two young ladies to ask for peace, and the old lady saw or did not see it according to her mood. This time, I actually took the initiative to see a concubine!
Seeing that Shen's mother didn't move, the old lady threw the rosary in her hand and threw it on the side of the bed. On his face, which did not have too much expression, frowned again.
The subtle movements made Shen's mother tremble. This old lady often did before she got angry, and if she didn't hurry, I was afraid that she would usher in a storm.
"Yes." He bowed his head and hurriedly walked out.
After a while, Su Jinxi was taken to the inner room alone.
The interior is simply furnished, except for two sets of carved and jade-inlaid mahogany chairs, only a three-screen Luohan bed remains.
At this time, the person who turned his hand to the rosary and leaned on the pillow to close his eyes and recuperate was the old lady of Sufu, Meng.
Although his sideburns are like silver, his complexion is ruddy and he has not lost his style.
"Grandmother." With a respectful salute, Su Jinxi stood aside. swept away the fear of the previous life, and the face was full of tranquility.
The old lady slowly opened her eyes, but saw that she was dressed in a plain white dress, with no extra jewelry on her head except for a beaded flower, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously outlined an arc.
She doesn't like the appearance of women with full hair and decorations, and Su Jinxi's simple dress is very much to her liking.
Su Jinxi seemed to stand quietly with her head down, but secretly observing the old lady's expression, seeing that the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and her high heart was steady.
After the death of Liuqing in the previous life, Su Jinxi was often sent by the eldest lady to help in various rooms, and when he was with the maid ring of the Buddhist hall, he heard of the old lady's dress preferences. Naturally you can dress up intimately.
"Did you transcribe these? Look at how you know how to worship the Buddha at such a young age. ”
The old lady has been in charge of the Su Mansion for 30 years, although she has lived here alone. But the tone still revealed majesty and coldness.
People who have gone through life and death are often courageous. Su Jinxi swept away the submissiveness of his previous life, and said slowly with a steady demeanor.
"Jinxi had to be raised by Uncle Zhang. Since childhood, he has been learning to worship the Buddha and is grateful for the Buddha's holy grace. ”
The old lady nodded, "Well, that's good." This word was also taught by that Uncle Zhang? ”
There was no fluctuation on his face, but he was secretly surprised by her reflection and answer in his heart.
Even the eldest lady, who has been a housewife for several years, is still timid when she sees her. The children who are less than eighteen in front of them can respond freely without being humble or arrogant.
How did she know that Su Jinxi was almost half of the head of the family in the Prime Minister's Mansion in her previous life, and she had never seen any imposing people.
In front of me, it's nothing more than pediatrics.
"Yes, Uncle Zhang said that if you don't study, you don't know what virtue is. After enlightenment, he began to teach me how to learn characters. ”
"Well, it's also a blessing for you to meet him."
The old lady nodded again, and was amazed at Uncle Zhang in Su Jinxi's mouth.
Most of the people in the ordinary house are Bai Ding, but I didn't expect this Uncle Zhang to be able to read and break ink, and he is an extraordinary person.
Immediately thinking of what Shen's mother said at the gate, she stared keenly at Su Jinxi.
"I heard that the door is very lively today, but I don't know what happened."
This kid is calm and alert, but it's a pity that he is a concubine. If that stupid thing hadn't happened back then... Don't mention it.
"Jinxi didn't dare to hide it, the morning's events were all caused by me. It's all because I met people who were unladylike, and they happened to be ignorant people. ”
Su Jinxi lowered his head and made a look of shame, and deliberately said Zhiwu. Look at the appearance, but it's a little pitiful.
"It's really because of you, and it also made Princess Yan grow face for you."
The eldest lady raised her eyebrows and looked at Su Jinxi, and she said every word, as if she was angry.
Su Jinxi pretended to be frightened by Mrs. Tai's anger, and hurriedly lay on the ground.
Although the old lady has not been in charge of the house for many years, she has been in charge for thirty years after all. Many old people are her eyeliner.
Not only is he well aware of the comings and goings in the house, but he also has a deep understanding of the character of the personnel.
Even if you are not at the scene, you can guess the truth at that time. Instead of trying to cover it up in front of her, it is better to confess obediently.
"Grandmother forgives her sins, Jinxi is really angry that they are embarrassed in front of Princess Yan and Prince Yan.
As for letting Princess Yan punish on her behalf, it is not in my plan. Maybe it's because of my love for my biological mother that I took the initiative to help me. ”
After saying this, Su Jinxi swept Mrs. Tai's expression with her afterglow. Seeing her calm face, a gleam flashed in her eyes.
"Why, don't you know? I heard that you will become the princess in the near future. In the future, the Su Mansion may still have to rely on you. ”
The old lady finished her words with a sneer, and her eyes never left Su Jinxi's face. The attitude is obvious, she does not approve of this marriage.
"Grandmother laughed, Jinxi is the daughter of the Su family, and the Su Mansion is what Jinxi needs to rely on."
The answer was faint, although it was not very sincere, but it was not any sycophancy.
The old lady was very satisfied with her lack of arrogance or arrogance, but her face was still serious.
"What do you think about the marriage?"
"Jinxi is not ready to agree." Su Jinxi curled slightly and raised his head. For the first time, look directly at the old lady.
"Oh? Why. You must know that you are a serious princess when you marry. ”
The old lady looked a little surprised, but she quickly calmed down. At the same time as the rhetorical question, the sharpness in his eyes unconsciously soothed.
Seeing the old lady's reflection, Su Jinxi's tone became more and more supple.
"Jinxi heard that the emperor intends to kill his brother. However, when there are many princes and princes in the dynasty, and there is more than one person with great power, it is not easy to say who will end up in the end.
At this time, the most important thing is to wait and see, rather than rush to take sides.
Su Mansion is now related to Yan Wangfu, it is easy for people to mistakenly think that the Su family is a line of Yan Wang, if Yan Wang can ascend to the throne in the future, it is fine, if he commits a crime in the future, Su Fu will definitely be implicated. ”
The old lady's rotating Buddhist beads were stagnant in her hand, I really didn't expect this girl to understand the affairs of the court.
But as far as this girl saw the real danger, her three sons rushed to jump in.
"Princess Yan is friendly with your mother, so she allowed you to be the princess. If you refuse, aren't you afraid that she will be cold? ”
In this regard, Jinxi has always felt guilty. But Jinxi can't use his personal wealth to trap Su Mansion in danger.
Speaking of which, my aunt and the prince of Pingyang County are the serious relatives of the Su family. Even if you want to stand in line, you have to stand on the side of Pingyang County Gong. ”
Speaking of this, Su Jinxi paused. After glancing at the old lady with his spare eyes, he respectfully gave a big salute.
"If grandmother thinks that Jinxi is wrong, Jinxi should be cautious and obedient."
