Chapter 571: Out of the City
Su Yiqing was resting in the small attic by the lake at this time.
When Lu Teng entered the attic, he saw Su Yiqing sitting by the window playing the chess game again, so he stepped forward and saluted, and asked, "Princess, the new chef has made a few new desserts, do you want to try them?"
Although Su Yiqing doesn't often eat sweets, and she never says she likes it, careful people can always observe it, so the chefs recruited by Wang Fuzhao are good at all kinds of novelty snacks, so Lu Teng came in and asked.
"No, I don't want to eat it right now. Su Yiqing only eats the good things she likes when she is calm or happy, and does not eat when she is not in a good mood, so as not to easily remember her mood at that time when she tastes her favorite snacks in the future.
At this time, she was not in a bad mood, but she didn't want to eat too many sweets, she had to restrain herself, if she ate too much, she wouldn't feel delicious, so she thought about it and said, "Make me a cup of Pu'er tea." ”
She doesn't like to drink tea, but she likes to smell the fragrance of tea, and the curling aroma can make people feel relaxed.
"Yes. She knew that the princess liked it, and knew that the princess didn't pay attention to the time of cooking tea, but just liked to smell the tea, so she served a cup first, and then found another good maid later, and then boiled a cup slowly on low heat in the red stove.
After putting down the teacup, Lu Teng said: "Princess, when I came in just now, Mrs. Xin said that Haitang was here and wanted to see the princess, I don't know if the princess wants to see her?"
"Begonia, what is she doing?" Su Yiqing intuitively felt that Begonia was not like Liu'er or the like, and she often came to ask for peace when she had nothing to do.
Green Vine replied: "Probably because Mrs. Quansi's tea house business is not good. She was a little worried about what she would do if the tea house fell. ”
Su Yiqing frowned, raised her eyes and looked at the green vine, "Hasn't Mrs. Quan's tea house business always been very good, how could it suddenly be bad?"
Lu Teng explained, "It's such a princess, the reason why Mrs. Quan's tea house business is good is that in addition to Mrs. Quansi's ability to better understand the preferences of Yancheng's magnates, she followed our princess's purchase of tea purchased together." It's more convenient...... Recently, though. I didn't follow it, this salt tea and other businesses are very tax-taxed, and there are various checkpoints along the way, and the purchase cost of people who have nothing to do with it is very large. Some new teas are not available even if you have money. So business is naturally poor. ”
Su Yiqing looked at the green vine. Don't speak.
Green vine said again: "This is what the prince meant, since Mrs. Quan Si doesn't want to have too much to do with the Dingwang Mansion, let her live by herself." ”
I know that this is the meaning of even the wind. He seemed to be a little eager to repay him, and that day he said that he should teach Mrs. Quan a lesson, but she didn't listen, so he made his own decisions.
"Actually, the prince didn't say what he wanted, he just revealed a little meaning, and it was all the meaning of the people below. Green vine was afraid that Su Yiqing would be displeased, and hurriedly explained to Lian Yufeng.
"Alright, I got it. Su Yiqing didn't want to pursue it, even Yu Feng couldn't say that it was wrong to do this, Mrs. Quan Si was afraid that something would affect her in the Dingwang Mansion, so she would completely draw a line and let Mrs. Quan Si weigh the gains and losses by herself, if Mrs. Quan Si felt that it was okay, then let her be.
It's just this begonia...... Su Yiqing sighed secretly, helping people to the end, but where is the bottom? She was just a momentary sigh that day, probably because of her previous habits, she didn't want a young woman like Begonia to stay in the Dingwang Mansion for a lifetime, and it was also for the palace to be cleaner and less warblers.
But no one can guarantee that the begonia will be smooth sailing after going out, and the life is more comfortable than the Dingwang Mansion, at least in the Dingwang Mansion three meals a day do not have to worry, and there is no need to do things, now go out, work by themselves to earn money, a stitch and a thread are all money, working for others is also a little insecure, some wind and grass are naturally worried.
"If the princess doesn't see Begonia, the slave will send her away. Green Vine suggested after observing the words.
"Forget it, let her in. "Su Yiqing wants to hear what this begonia has to say.
After getting along for a short time before, she felt that this begonia was not like the kind of person who would be unreasonable and ask for this and that, maybe she would go out of the Dingwang Mansion and rely on herself for everything, which was indeed difficult for a weak woman like her.
Su Yiqing is not kind-hearted, but when she thinks of herself back then, when she wanders alone, she is also very hesitant in her heart, and she can also understand Begonia's anxiety.
Green vine retreated, came to the corner gate, saw the waiting begonia, and said, "The princess said that she wanted to see you." ”
Haitang suddenly showed joy, and thanked the green vine vigorously, and the green vine led the begonia out and said: "Miss Begonia, I want to remind you that in front of the princess, you must be careful to speak, the princess is kind-hearted, you should be content, don't trouble the princess with a little thing." ”
"Yes, I know. Begonia Nono agreed.
Green vine doesn't expect Begonia to listen, if you really want to persuade it with one or two words, this Begonia won't come like this, but as a big girl, you still have to be reminded.
It's just that sometimes it's not convenient to say too much, lest Begonia dare not say a word in front of the princess later, and the princess seems to be her when she asks about it.
After leading Begonia into the small attic by the lake, Begonia saw Su Yiqing and stepped forward to salute in a proper manner, "The folk girl has seen the princess." ”
Su Yiqing nodded and said, "No need to be polite, sit down." ”
"In front of the princess, the people didn't dare to sit. "Where does Haitang dare to sit with Princess Ding, she knows her identity, a person like her is not worthy, people are polite, you must not take it seriously.
"Sit down, you are no longer a singer in the palace, nor are you a subordinate, it is inconvenient to stand and talk. Su Yiqing said lightly, "I don't like it very much when I sit and people stand and talk." ”
Speaking of this, Begonia had no choice but to sit down as she said.
Su Yiqing said: "Don't say the kind words, I have already heard what Lu Teng said, you are worried that Mrs. Quan's tea house business is not good, and there will be no settlement in the future, right?"
"I'm causing trouble to the princess, but the folk girl is alone...... It's unthinkable. "Begonia also knows that it is so troublesome, and she is a little ashamed. I couldn't help but bow my head.
"It's human nature for you to be worried. Su Yiqing said, and said: "I don't know much about this tea house business, but I want to ask you, since you are worried, if the tea house really falls, what are your plans?"
Su Yiqing is a temptation, if this begonia is the kind of person who doesn't want to do anything and just wants to rely on others to arrange for a lifetime, then forget it, find her a place in the palace courtyard. Do something simple and live for the rest of your life. She didn't have a stranger's idle life.
Even biological parents can't actually arrange for their children, let alone her.
"Yes, I've thought about it. Haitang was glad that she had thought about this question before, otherwise now the princess asked it. If you don't have anything to say, it's a bit of a hassle.
After thinking about it. Haitang said: "Princess." That's what I think, I don't have any other craft, I haven't done anything else. I think that if Mrs. Quan's tea house really can't be opened, I want to open a small tea house by myself. ”
"Oh, this is a solution, but it's not so easy for a woman to open a store alone, have you thought about it?" Su Yiqing was satisfied with Begonia's answer, whether it was feasible or not, at least this Begonia had thought about it, not waiting for others to arrange everything.
"I've thought about it, it's impossible for me to do a big business as a woman, so I will open a small tea house and do some neighbors' business, and the location will be near Xue Niang's house......" Haitang slowly said his previous plans one by one.
Although she was anxious to inform the princess of General Shao's wife, she knew that some things were not in a hurry, and there was a green vine watching next to her, so she had to find a suitable opportunity to avoid the green vine to tell the princess about this matter alone.
"That's a good idea. Su Yiqing nodded, although the plan has a lot of loopholes, it is not impossible, after all, Begonia has a little brain, and she knows that women who use their brains are generally not wrong.
Haitang smiled embarrassedly, and said: "It's just the princess, after all, I have been taken care of by Mrs. Quan for so long, and now seeing the tea house like this, Mrs. Quan Si has a sad face all day long, and I can't help but be a little worried, I heard that ......"
Speaking of this, Begonia stopped, seemed to have some scruples, and couldn't help but glance at the green vine standing aside and waiting.
"Green vine, you go and get two cups of hot tea. Su Yiqing saw Begonia's concerns, so she ordered the green vine.
Green vine replied and gently retreated.
Su Yiqing said: "If you have anything to say, you just have to say it." ”
Haitang still didn't say anything about General Shao's wife at once, but continued: "I heard from the shopkeeper of the tea house, it was Mrs. Quan who offended the palace, so she ...... This tea house business is not good...... Don't get me wrong, Princess, I'm just ...... I just think Mrs. Quan Si is a good person, if there is any misunderstanding. ”
Begonia was a little nervous, and her words couldn't help but be a little incoherent.
"Actually, there's nothing to misunderstand. Su Yiqing smiled and said: "This is just Mrs. Quan's own choice, you may not know, outsiders seem to be very beautiful when they look at Dingwangfu, but in fact, there are a lot of things, and there are a lot of parties involved, Mrs. Quan Si is a little worried, so she wants to avoid it." ”
Haitang was still a little confused, looking at Su Yiqing and not knowing how to ask.
Su Yiqing said: "After all, I am still related to Mrs. Quan, and I will not deliberately embarrass Mrs. Quan, so you want to open your own shop, or continue to do things in the tea house, this tea house is a little worse business, and it will not be good for a while, of course, if you want to do your own business, I can help you, Xue Niang and they are doing well now, it is not easy for you to open a shop as a woman, you can cooperate with Xue Niang and them, and take care of each other." ”
"Princess......" Haitang stopped talking a little, and then looked around, very cautious.
"Is there anything else?" Su Yiqing was a little strange about Begonia's behavior, she had an intuition, it seemed that Begonia still had something important to say, so she said, "If you have something to say, it's just the two of us here." ”
This is to imply that no one is eavesdropping, Haitang blushed, angry for her little family, and then said: "Is this the princess...... You asked about General Shao's wife last time......"
Speaking of which, Begonia stopped again.
Su Yiqing's heart moved, and said, "Did you say anything last time?"
"I didn't ...... No. Haitang said, "I'm just worried, what I said last time, will it cause trouble to General Shao's wife?"
"Do you think it will?" asked Su Yiqing rhetorically.
Haitang could hear what Princess Ding meant, and Princess Ding was actually asking her if she would use the news from her mouth to be unfavorable to General Shao's wife.
"The folk girl thinks that the princess is not that kind of person. Haitang said with certainty, a few days ago, she was not sure, but now she is sure, because General Shao's wife also said that she would ask Princess Ding for help, which means that the princess has a relationship with General Shao's wife, since General Shao's wife can trust the princess, what is she to doubt.
If you were so sure, you wouldn't ask that. Su Yiqing smiled, "This is the purpose of your visit today, or have you been worrying about this for the past few days?"
She was still wondering, from her previous understanding of Begonia, she didn't look like the kind of person who had to make inches, how could she encounter a little difficulty, so she hurriedly ran over.
It seems that Fang Cai's matter is just a reason, the most important purpose of this begonia is to ask about the cuckoo, and the exact life is to be sure that she will not be unfavorable to the cuckoo.
"The folk girl may not be so sure, but yesterday she was sure that the princess would not harm General Shao's wife. Begonia said what was in her heart sincerely.
"Why is that?" Su Yiqing didn't know why Haitang asked like this, but felt that she didn't seem to be asking like this.
Haitang gritted her teeth and lowered her voice to the lowest, "Because the folk girl met General Shao's wife yesterday." ”
"What?" Su Yiqing was shocked, she didn't expect Begonia to actually see the cuckoo, which means that the cuckoo was still hiding somewhere in Yancheng.
After being surprised, Su Yiqing slowly calmed down and looked at Begonia and stopped talking.
Why did this begonia come to tell her the news, did she want to use the news to get some benefits from her, if so, she had mistaken this begonia, and it was not advisable for anyone who could betray others for a little profit.
Haitang didn't guess what Su Yiqing was thinking, so she just whispered: "General Shao's wife is in such a dangerous situation, she wants to go out of the city, I heard that the people know the Dingwang Mansion, and I want the people to bring a message to the princess, and ask the princess if she can help?"
Su Yiqing was stunned again, she didn't expect Du Juan to ask her for help, they didn't seem to have that kind of friendship, right? After a pause, she asked, "Did you tell her what you told me about the past of General Shao's wife?"
Hearing Su Yiqing ask about the past, Haitang couldn't help but feel a little ashamed and shook her head gently. (To be continued......)
