Chapter 555: Trap
Mrs. Quan Si knew that Mrs. Meng suddenly came to visit, there must be something, and this matter was by no means a trivial matter, but after Mrs. Meng came, the topic had been revolving around Dingwangfu, and she didn't mention anything else, so she was even more puzzled, could it be related to Dingwangfu?
In the end, Mrs. Quan Si was really tired, and asked cautiously: "Sister, this time, you just came to see me, you can tell me anything, I will do what I can do." ”
Mrs. Quan Si was so straightforward, and Mrs. Meng couldn't beat around the bush anymore, so she sighed and said, "Don't hide it from my sister, I do have something to ask for is about Xiaofu's ......." ”
Mrs. Quan Si also guessed that the matter was related to Dingwangfu, but she didn't expect that it was for this matter, she had always been able to notice that the relationship between Dingwangfu and Mrs. Meng was a little cold, probably because Dingwangfu was sent to the countryside since he was a child, people with this kind of experience are difficult to easily forgive people who treat them wrongly, but some people know how to forbear or weigh the pros and cons.
But when Madame Meng said her purpose vaguely, she was still taken aback, could it be that the relationship between the princess and Madame Meng was really so bad? Can't Mrs. Meng even ask about the palace?
The real situation, Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to ask too much, it was too direct, but she still agreed to Mrs. Meng to go to Dingwang's mansion to test Princess Ding's mind and see if she would help with this.
The matter was a little urgent, and Mrs. Quan didn't dare to delay too much, so she went to Dingwang's Mansion the next day.
The little maid said that the princess was enjoying the scenery in the attic by the lake, and led Mrs. Quan to the small attic.
Mrs. Quan Si went upstairs and saw Dingwangfu sitting alone by the window playing chess. I don't know if I'm studying the chess game just after playing with someone, or if I'm fiddling with it by myself.
Mr. Quan Si also likes to play chess on weekdays, so Mrs. Quan Si knows that some people are playing the chessboard alone, and they are also studying the chess game, or they have just finished playing.
Seeing Mrs. Quan coming over, Su Yiqing smiled and said, "Fourth aunt, please take a seat." ”
Mrs. Quan Si sat opposite Su Yiqing and said, "The princess is so interested. ”
Su Yiqing smiled. "It's just a random game of chess. Is the fourth aunt interested in playing the next game together? ”
"I won't!" Mrs. Quan Si smiled embarrassedly, her husband likes to play chess, but she has no research, and always thinks that there are a few stone-like chess pieces. Swinging around. It's not as interesting as embroidery. It's nothing fun, for fear that Su Yiqing will misunderstand something, she said again. "I can't sit still, I heard my master say that you have to calm down to play chess, I can't be quiet, it's not suitable."
"Not necessarily, but personal preferences are different." Su Yiqing smiled, "I didn't like to play chess very much before, I just thought it was meaningless, so when I came in and was idle, I would fiddle with it." ”
Mrs. Quan Si was very puzzled in her heart, like her own master, she had nothing to do all day, so she would use chess to pass the time, but Princess Ding was in charge of the middle feed of Dingwang's Mansion, and she had a son who had just learned to walk, how could she have time to fiddle with chess pieces? She no longer knows how to play chess, but she also knows that it takes a lot of time.
Doubts are doubts, Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to say this, so she thought about it and said: "Princess, the Begonia girl you introduced does know the tea ceremony very well, even better than the previous master in our shop, thanks to the introduction of the princess, it can be regarded as a great help to me." ”
"If only I could help." Su Yiqing's words were a little light, Mrs. Quan Si was a little too exaggerated, this Begonia should be the Quan family who only arrived yesterday, and Mrs. Quan Si should not even understand Begonia's temperament and character, so it seems too deliberate to praise it in such a hurry.
Probably Mrs. Quan Si also felt a little fake, but still explained, "This begonia girl can smell from more than ten sealed tea cans, and she can tell what kind of tea it is, and even new tea and old tea can be smelled, which is really amazing." ”
"Everyone has something they are good at, and as long as they are given the opportunity, many people can show their strengths." Su Yiqing said, twisted a chess piece, and placed a piece on the chessboard.
Mrs. Quan Si said again: "This is also the princess's willingness to help, otherwise a girl like Begonia will not bury her ability, speaking of which, the princess treats the people in the house really well, and it is not easy to bother to help them plan for the future." ”
Su Yiqing said lightly: "It's nothing, or I have selfish intentions, I just want to get rid of some singers in the house." ”
"The princess is modest." Mrs. Quan Si said sincerely, "If you want to send a few singers and the like, you don't have to worry so much about it, many mansions give a few taels of silver to send people out of the door, and the kind-hearted ones will give more, everyone will say okay, where is like the princess, and worry about their future, the arrangement is so good." ”
The fourth wife of Quan is very sincere in saying this, and it is not the first time that she has helped arrange the maids in the palace for the Dingwang Mansion, and it is not easy to know.
"It's not what I came up with, it's what the maids around me think." Su Yiqing didn't take credit, and left another son, so she said to Mrs. Quan, "Speaking of which, I just came up with an idea, if you really talk about hard work, you still have to worry about the fourth aunt." ”
"Where, that's what I do on a daily basis." Mrs. Quan Si used to ask for some favors by helping the ladies of the house deal with some trivial things that were inconvenient for them to come forward, she really felt that it was nothing, it was similar to a job, she did the work of helping the ladies run errands.
Su Yiqing didn't speak again, her eyes stared at the chessboard for a long time, motionless.
Mrs. Quan Si didn't dare to disturb, so she just sat quietly on the side.
After a long time, Su Yiqing suddenly spoke, "Fourth aunt is here this time, is there anything wrong?" ”
"Ah...... Actually, it's nothing. Mrs. Kwon was suddenly asked, and she didn't know how to speak.
Su Yiqing stopped talking again, and the atmosphere was a little weird.
Mrs. Quan Si felt very pressured, and said secretly, no wonder Mrs. Meng didn't dare to speak directly, she had dealt with her several times before, and thought that Princess Ding was an excellent talker, thinking that it was all when there was nothing to do, if there was really something to do, it would be a little troublesome, she felt that it was better not to play any small tricks, so she said: "It's nothing, it's just the last time I heard the princess talk about it, it seems to be about the Dajing mission." I have some interest, I got some news, and I don't know if the princess has heard of it, so I'll talk about it first. ”
When Su Yiqing heard this, she immediately looked at Mrs. Quan.
Mrs. Quan Si said: "That's right, after the Dajing Mission was frequently attacked, it stayed in a small town, and now that there is a plague in the town, the mission can't leave." I wonder if the princess has heard about it? ”
"Nope." Su Yiqing frowned slightly, there was a plague. This is another miracle.
It stands to reason. This plague also happens from time to time, and there is nothing strange about it, but it is too coincidental, wouldn't the Dajing Mission have to be delayed for a long time? And so it goes. Can you come to Yancheng in the Year of the Monkey?
Is this a coincidence? Su Yirong: What is their purpose?
Mrs. Quan Si said: "This King of Guojun is the one who greets him. Now I stay in the town. I heard that the princess of Guojun is very worried, the king of Guojun is not in good health, and I don't know if he will be infected with the plague. ”
Su Yiqing slowly looked at Mrs. Quan. "Is the fourth aunt very familiar with Princess Guojun?"
Mrs. Quan Si looked at Su Yiqing's eyes, and immediately felt very stressed, I don't know why, she felt that the eyes of the princess were very sharp.
After a long while, Mrs. Quan Si said: "I am not very familiar with Princess Guojun, but I have met a few times, but Princess Guojun and the Meng family are in-laws after all, so ...... Just pay attention. ”
"So what?" Su Yiqing asked calmly.
Mrs. Quan Si was in a hurry to be seen through, and she didn't dare to hide anything, so she simply said directly: "Princess Guojun is asking people everywhere, hoping to help intercede and let King Guojun come back...... But looking at the court, there are really not many people who can speak in front of the saints. ”
Su Yiqing understood the intention of Mrs. Quan's coming, it turned out that she was here to sit as a lobbyist, and wanted to help Lian Yufeng, speak in front of the saint, and change King Guojun back.
No, the friendship between King Yiguo and Mrs. Quan Si will not be entrusted to Mrs. Quan's head, thinking of this, Su Yiqing said lightly: "It was my mother who asked the fourth aunt to talk about this, right?" ”
Mrs. Quan Si didn't expect to be seen through so quickly, and a little embarrassment appeared on her face. Said: "After all, the Meng family and the Guojun Wangfu are the in-laws of the Holy Decree to marry, and they are about to get married, if there is anything to the King of Guojun, it will inevitably affect the family affairs of the two families, and your mother is also worried about her son." ”
"Really?" Su Yiqing bent the corners of her mouth, and seemed to be a little sarcastic, "Now that Brother Guang is in such a situation, does my mother still want to rush to let Brother Guang get married?" ”
"This ...... After all, it's your in-laws, and your mother is also worried. Mrs. Quan Si didn't know how to talk a lot, looking at Su Yiqing's expression, it seemed that she was laughing, she was even more shocked that the relationship between the princess and Mrs. Meng had reached the point of not hiding it in front of outsiders?
Su Yiqing told Mrs. Quan Si very directly: "This is busy, the Dingwang Mansion can't help, or rather, I can't mention this matter to the prince, it's not reasonable to be reasonable, it is a big deal to welcome the Dajing Mission, King Guojun was assigned to meet the mission, unless there is any major situation, it is not good to change people halfway, besides, now that there is a plague, who dares to go again?" It is too much to reluctantly force others to go to the area where the plague occurred, since the king of Guojun is already in the epidemic area, it is best to let the king of Guojun be responsible to the end, otherwise even if he sends another person, the plague is indeed not allowed to enter and exit at will. ”
"That's right." Mrs. Quan Si was a little embarrassed on her face, she didn't expect the princess to refuse so directly, she was a little embarrassed on her face.
Fortunately, she had dealt with all kinds of noble ladies before, which was also a common thing, and she suddenly didn't say anything, and reluctantly said a few words, and then left.
After sending off Mrs. Quan, Su Yiqing looked at the half-way chess game and pondered.
There was a plague, which means that it will be a long time, and the people of that town will not be able to come out, this ancient plague is no more than modern times, and it will take a very long time to ensure that it has passed.
Even if it can be confirmed that the epidemic has passed, for the emperor, he will definitely not receive people from the epidemic area in the short term, which means that it is difficult for the Dajing delegation to meet.
It's too much of a coincidence, but why is that?
What kind of special mission does the Dajing Mission bear? In this way, it is sniped again, and there is a plague, in short, it is difficult to reach Yancheng, why is this so?
Su Yiqing knew that this kind of thing was not something that a woman in the house should take care of, if the person who was the envoy was not Su Yirong and his wife, she would not care too much.
But when it comes to Su Yirong, it means that it is likely to be related to Mrs. Zhou, and it may also have something to do with her.
So far, she doesn't know that Mrs. Zhou is a lot old, and she is half cut into the ground, and she is still tossing like this, for what? If you really want to see that she is not pleasing to the eye, let her die in the first place, why bother to arrange a fake identity for her and let her come to this Yancheng?
It's not that she has to doubt Mrs. Zhou's intentions, but if it's just for her good, she doesn't need to let Xin'er follow at all, let alone let Xin'er say that threatening words when she is in danger.
Thinking of what Xin'er said before, Su Jinxu is not Mrs. Zhou's own grandson, if she runs away, Mrs. Zhou will be unfavorable to Su Jinxu, which makes her feel cold all over her body.
Mrs. Zhou acted like this, it was too much, when did it start?
By the way, she suddenly thought that if Su Jinxu was not Mrs. Zhou's own grandson, then when did this matter start? The Xu family had a son, which was something that the entire Yuanping Bofu knew, and looking at the Xu family's previous attitude towards Su Jinxu, it was not like knowing that Su Jinxu was not her biological son.
That is to say, it is very likely that the real Su Jinxu was dropped from the beginning, and even the Xu family was hidden, because with the Xu family's character, knowing it, it is very likely that the flaws will be exposed.
That is, from many years ago, not to mention that she hadn't crossed over yet, and even the real Su Yiqing was not born, at that time, Yuanping Bofu was calm and there was no big turmoil, why did Mrs. Zhou do this?
In addition, it is a bag drop, thinking of dropping a bag, she thinks of her son, this even Yu Feng and Mrs. Zhou have used such a trick, it can't be a coincidence, right?
What exactly is the relationship between these two?
Thinking about it further, there is one that is even more shocking, Su Yixu is not Xu's biological son, so what about Su Yiqing? Is the real Su Yiqing Xu's biological daughter? If you can do this kind of thing once, you can do it a second time.
Xu's previous negligence towards his daughter led to his daughter being mistreated by his subordinates without knowing it, and it was also a little abnormal.
She used to think that Xu's personality was a little arrogant, but now that she thinks about it, maybe because she is not biological, she has no mother-daughter relationship.
Is all this a trap? A trap set a long time ago? What is the purpose? How can such a trap be set from more than a decade ago? (To be continued......)
