66.Chapter 66
Su Rong almost squeezed out the words between her teeth, and after she said it easily, she suddenly felt much more relaxed, as if the stone that had been pressing on her heart had finally moved, and she also had a decision about her future, and she was no longer confused.
Su Rong picked up the teacup in his hand and took a sip slowly, the tea was neither lukewarm nor hot, just in his mouth. The best Junshan silver needle is sweet and sweet, and has a long aftertaste. It's really good tea, she smiled slightly, her eyes fell on the beauty opposite, the beautiful woman who had just shown her peerless elegance, stared at herself expressionlessly, her beautifully shaped red lips opened lightly, and her delicate and clear voice sounded, "Seventh sister, I just didn't hear today's words, and I don't have to say anything in the future." β
"Ten sisters." Su Rong had the heart to persuade again, Su Yan had already gotten up, the starry phoenix eyes in the past looked at Su Rong coldly, and her voice was equally cold, "The seventh sister is easy to go, but the little sister has not recovered, so it is inconvenient to send each other." β
Su Yan obviously didn't want to talk about it anymore, and even made a move to drive people away, Su Rong naturally wouldn't stay long, her expression also faded, and when she walked to the door, she looked back and said softly: "My words are a bit excessive, but they are heartfelt words, and I hope that the tenth sister will think about it more." β
Su Yan raised the corners of her lips, and didn't answer this at all, only raised her voice: "Seventh sister, go slowly." β
"Alas......" Su Rong looked at Su Yan's indifferent little face for a long time, shook his head wordlessly and sighed, and left quietly.
Su Yan, who was full of anger by Su Rong's words, threw himself on the bed after Su Rong left, hugged the pillow, and beat it hatefully, which startled the Qingyun people who had just come in, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong with Shi Niang, but it's a mess with Qi Niang?" β
"Hmph, I'm too lazy to talk to her." Su Yan replied angrily, and refused to say more. I don't know what this seventh sister thinks, does she look stupid, who doesn't know that she and her eleventh cousin grew up together, the relationship between the two is very close, and even when the two young men and women play together, they have praised the seventh sister many times, and her eldest aunt has long regarded the seventh sister as a daughter-in-law, and from time to time she deliberately expressed XiΓ n twice in front of her.
The eleventh cousin and the eldest aunt are so obvious, is it possible that she still has to hold on to the eleventh cousin? Except for the eleventh lang of the Lu family, is she no one married? said as if she was so good to this sister, and deliberately gave Ruyi Langjun to her, so as to save her from falling into the fire pit of the prince. Hehe, she really thank you!
Lu took care of the family affairs, so he came to see his daughter, and as soon as he entered the house, he saw that her daughter was puffing out her cheeks, and she was angry on the soft collapse, like a cat with fried hair, which was very interesting. Lu Shi couldn't help laughing, sat beside his daughter, raised his hand and rubbed her little head lovingly, and coaxed softly: "Who made our Ah Shu angry, sue SΓΉ Ah Niang, Ah Niang will be angry for you." β
Su Yan rolled into Lu's arms, pulled her mother's sleeve and complained, "A-Niang, what do you mean by Seventh Sister, she is willing to let her, I should happily continue, and then thank her for the rest of my life!" β
Lu Shi gave her daughter a smile and said, "Ah Shu, your seventh sister is also for your good, although her words are not very good, but her heart is good." β
"Hehe, Auntie, don't coax me, the seventh sister obviously fell in love with the sixth prince and didn't want to marry her cousin, so she pushed me over as an excuse." Su Yan wrinkled her little nose, she was not stupid, if she said a few words for her good, she would believe it. Even if she is recuperating at home, she knows that Concubine Shu, the mother of the sixth prince, often recruits young ladies from various families in Beijing to enter the palace recently, and every time her seventh sister is a guest, everyone knows the meaning of this. It's just that the seventh sister was very close to the eleventh cousin before, and she was liked by the eldest aunt, and many people thought that the seventh sister and the eleventh cousin would be engaged soon. If the seventh sister really became Princess Wu, I am afraid that there will be some problems with this reputation.
If she really listened to the seventh sister, she planned to marry the eleventh cousin. Hehe, what will everyone say? As a younger sister, she used the relationship between her grandfather and grandmother to break up her lover and let her cousin not marry in tears......
Su Yan's brain was wide open, and she was knocked on the head by the Lu family, she pouted and hugged her head, and said coquettishly: "A-Niang, it hurts." β
Lu poked her finger funny, "Don't think nonsense, although Qi Niang has some careful thoughts, she won't deliberately harm you." She restrained her smile and solemnly admonished her daughter, "You are cousins, from the same family, and you can't write two Su characters in one stroke." The little girl's house, it's nothing to make trouble occasionally and awkwardly, and you must not fight with each other and fight with each other, understand! β
Su Yan had already obediently stood in front of the Lu family, and after listening to her, he nodded honestly, "Got it." β
Lu said: "Then you ...... today"
Su Yan hung her head and said obediently: "My daughter is wrong, she shouldn't guess arbitrarily, and she will put malice on her sister at will." β
"If you are wrong, you should be punished, and you will be grounded for seven days." The Lu family has always been very strict in teaching his daughter.
Su Yan flattened her mouth, a little aggrieved, but she still nodded, indicating that she knew.
Only then did the Lu family take his daughter back into his arms and caress her back lovingly, "A-Niang knows that your seventh sister's words are angry with you, our A-shu is the most well-behaved, don't be like your seventh sister." Let's talk about marriage, the order of the parents, and the words of the matchmaker, where is the little girl's family in charge. What's more, your aunt takes a fancy to Qi Niang, it doesn't mean that your uncle will take a fancy to your cousin! "Although Eleven Lang is good, I'm afraid he is not a good candidate for a son-in-law in the uncle's heart.
Su Yan's eyes lit up, as if he had gossip to listen to. It's a pity that Lu obviously didn't plan to sue her, but just pinched her little face lovingly, and teased her with a smile, "I've been reflecting on it in the house obediently these days." Then in the puffing eyes of his daughter, he walked leisurely.
When the Lu family left, Su Yan remembered that she hadn't asked her mother about the rumors. She tilted her head and thought about it, anyway, it wasn't too urgent, and it would be the same if she asked again tomorrow.
Today, Lu took advantage of his niece's affairs to successfully lock his daughter up at home for seven days. After she returned to the Youth Academy, her smiling face sank, and it happened that Su Zhoucheng had just come back, and when she saw his wife's appearance, she was a little worried, "Ah Hui, have you just seen Ah Shu?" "He had nothing to do today, so he came back early, planning to change his clothes and go to see his daughter.
"Hmm." Lu nodded.
"The little girl is grinding you again?"
"Nope. However, she was punished by me. At the mention of his daughter, Lu's expression was a little relaxed, but his face was still stiff.
Su Zhoucheng almost jumped to his feet, "What are you doing to punish her, she is not well yet." β
Lu told her husband what happened, "You have to let her remember it for a long time, even if she is not a sister of the same clan, she can't guess." Moreover, I don't know whose family started it, saying that our aunt is delicate and frail, and there is a hindrance to the heir! Lu gritted his teeth and said: "Don't let me know whose family did it, otherwise he will definitely regret it!" β
Su Zhoucheng didn't have a brain, but the old god sat next to the Lu family, and personally brought the tea and sent it over, "Lady, drink a cup of tea, clear the fire." β
Lu Shi was annoyed, "What kind of fire, you didn't listen to what those people said about our aunt!" "For a woman, having children is a big problem. The person who spread the words of her daughter, who is in the heart, is simply going to ruin half of her daughter's reputation.
Su Zhoucheng smiled, "The person who spread this kind of thing is nothing more than trying to tell the sΓΉ saint that our aunt is not a suitable candidate for the crown princess." It's a pity that people are stupid and can't help it. He smiled and shook his head, "Ah Shu is sick, the prince sent six imperial doctors, and later there is one of the heads of the Tai Hospital, Qu Changrong, the saint will not know, that Qu Changrong is the saint's henchman." He later prescribed a prescription for Ashu, and I have seen it all, all of which are mainly based on warmth and recuperation, which is obviously instructed by the sage. Those people are simply digging their own holes and jumping on their own. β
There are so many rumors in Beijing, how could the sage not know, although he is not sure whether his daughter will become the crown princess, but the people who dare to gossip have no drama at all. With the character of a saint, even if he didn't choose Ah Shu as the crown princess, he would definitely think of a son to correct his daughter's name, so he was not in a hurry. Just take this opportunity to see which teenager is good and which parent is sober-minded. Hehe, he also has a second son who is not engaged. By the way, I also showed my daughter.
Although her husband explained, the Lu family was still angry, and even the emperor and the crown prince were a little resentful, if it weren't for their father and son's publicity, would her daughter need to be targeted! What's so good about the position of the broken princess, who likes it and who fights for it, is it really rare for their family!
Su Zhoucheng has been married to the Lu family for many years, how can he not understand her thoughts, he can only be a thousand times more careful and slowly coax, so that there is a smile on Lu's face.
The emperor in the palace naturally knew about it, he stretched out his finger and flicked the report sent by his armor, and said with a smile: "There are really many people in this capital. β
Jia Yi buried his head again, trying to reduce his sense of storage.
The emperor suddenly thought of something, took out a copy from the fold he had just approved, opened it again, looked at it, and said with a smile: "This letter is still so careful. After laughing, he thought about it, picked up the red pen again, dipped it in cinnabar, and added a few words to the back of the imperial approval before putting it back.
Within a few days, Du Junliang, the elder brother of the former queen, was taken down by the emperor from the position of the household servant because he was often late for work, skipping work, and getting drunk during work. All the ministers in the court are a little confused, since the death of the queen, the emperor has always been very generous to the Du family, and Du Junliang's work attitude is not a day or two, he turned a blind eye before, why did he deal with it so harshly this time?
It didn't take long for everyone to know that it was Su Zhoucheng, the left servant of Shangshu Province, who gave the emperor an excerpt, stating that the officials who were negligent in their duties within his jurisdiction and asked the emperor to give a heavy sentence. Among them, the first place listed is Du Junliang. Then a few days later, a new list of personnel transfers came down, and most of the people in Su Zhoucheng's excerpts left their original posts and were delegated. Among these people, the biggest official is Du Junliang.
Du Junliang was so angry that he went home and scolded Su Zhoucheng, but he didn't dare in front of him, because although he went to the Ministry of Rites to work as a langzhong, he still worked under Su Zhoucheng. Even in the five-grade Langzhong, Su Zhoucheng wanted to trouble him, and he didn't need to go through the emperor to do it directly.
The courtiers' appointment and dismissal of officials and every decision of the emperor can be studied for ten days and half a month, especially this time when the Du family was suddenly opened, it is really incomprehensible. Didn't it mean that the emperor intended to choose Su Fu's daughter to be the crown princess, why didn't the crown princess become the crown princess yet, and first fell in love with the prince's mother? Isn't he afraid that the prince will be angry and treat his daughter badly in the future? Or did we all guess wrong, the emperor didn't plan to choose Su Fu's daughter?
There is a good relationship with his wife, and the husband and wife chat at night and wonder what they are puzzled about. Some of the ladies with good brains understand a little when they think of the rumors they have heard recently. At the beginning, the gossip of the ten ladies of the Su family, the Du family did not make a small contribution, no wonder Su Zhoucheng would take Du Junliang under the knife.
, you should be careful when you speak in the future, don't offend the Su family, Su Zhoucheng, this old boy's heart is too small.
Oh, the emperor agrees with Su Zhoucheng's opinion, is this crown princess also a certainty?
There are also a considerable number of people who are greedy for the newly vacated position of the left waiter of the household, and secretly move in private and want to make a move.
didn't wait for anyone to do anything, the emperor had a new appointment, and the one who took over the position of Du Junliang's left attendant of the household department was Qi Zheng, the left attendant of the original Ministry of Rites, who originally wanted to marry Su Zhoude's sons and daughters. Although the waiter of the Ministry of Rites to the Household Department is transferred at the same level, the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Household are not the same, and the left waiter of the Ministry of Rites is not as good as the left waiter of the household department in terms of ranking. According to the customary rules of the officialdom of the Xia Dynasty, Qi Shilang was promoted, and it showed that he had a good status in the emperor's heart.
Qi Shilang's work transfer made Su Zhoude alive again, and Hubu Zuo Shilang has always been the successor of Hushangshu. The household department is different from the Ministry of Rites, and the Ministry of Rites is still less than fifty this year, and he is strong and strong, and he can work for at least another ten years. But the head of the household is already sixty-three, and he will do it for another three or five years, and it just so happens that Qi Shilang will take over.
Su Zhoude weighed left and right in his heart, and felt that this matter could still be mentioned again. Siniang is not good, but there is also Baniang, and he is not only Siniang and a concubine. It's just that Su Zhoude himself didn't have the face to tell Qi Shilang again, and he hit the third brother with his idea. Ju said that before the third brother and sister were married, they were friends with Qi Shilang's wife.
He booked the meaning here, and when he went home, he went straight to Liu's yard, and as soon as he entered the house and said straight to the point, he saw that his wife's face was dark. Su Zhoude frowned and asked, "What's wrong?" β
Liu sneered: "It's too late for you to catch up with the heat now, the third brother and sister are engaged for Wu Niang, and your future niece and son-in-law are the ones you fancie." "When it comes to this Liu's family, even if their big house is broken with the Qi family's relatives, it shouldn't be your third room robbed, and you're not afraid of other people's jokes when you say it!
"Wu Niang!" Su Zhoude was stunned.
Liu said with a calm face: "No, the two families have said that the Qi family will invite the official media to propose marriage at the beginning of next month." "This matter was brought up by Roche when he was in the main courtyard today. I don't know what the old lady thinks, so she agreed.
Su Zhoude's face was very ugly, so he got up and walked around the house twice, and then went out with a gloomy face.
Liu saw that her husband left without saying a word, and her mood was even more uncomfortable. Today, in front of his mother-in-law and four siblings, Luo said with a smile: "We Yunju are honest, we just want to find a kind and considerate husband, and live a life with a beautiful one." What official position and talent are secondary. When she said this, she looked at her from time to time, as if the daughter of the big house was snobbish. Thinking of Luo's expression, she hated to bring Su Yunlan's cheap maid over, and taught her so much, all because of her, which made her lose face.
Su Yunju's engagement was known to the entire Yasukuni Mansion, and Su Rong came to ask Su Yan to come over to say hello to her. Banniang Yunfu was very unhappy about her sister Yunlan, so Su Rong didn't call her.
Su Yan was still a little surprised at first, she really didn't expect that Su Yunlan didn't get married, but became Su Yunju. On that day, Qi Shilang brought a family to the Yasukuni Mansion as a guest, and she could be regarded as the son of the Qi family, and her appearance was not outstanding. Su Yunju was a little proud, would she actually agree?
"Fifth sister, congratulations." Su Rong saw Su Yunju's shy face, and a complicated emotion flashed in his eyes very quickly. She stirred up Su Yunlan's marriage, but instead fulfilled Su Yunju, think about it, she is really unwilling. This Su Yunju is more hateful than Su Yunlan, but she got such a good marriage.
Su Yan followed behind Su Rong and congratulated sincerely, "Fifth sister, congratulations." β
Su Yunju's face was blushing, but she still generously sat down, "Seventh sister, tenth sister, sit down." β
After Su Rong and Su Yan each found a seat and sat down, Su Yunju came over with two cups of tea, "Seventh sister, tenth sister, come and taste it, this is still the flower tea made according to the method that the tenth sister taught me last time." β
Su Yan chuckled and said, "It's just that there's nothing to do in the boudoir, it's just a matter of playing, and it's worth mentioning it specifically by my sister." She lifted the lid of the teacup, and the faint fragrance of jasmine overflowed her nose, "Fifth sister, how many flowers have you put in to smoke tea?" "Even the fragrance of tea is covered by the fragrance of flowers.
Su Yunju smiled: "I like this." β
"I used to soak a lot of flowers and fruits in caramel sugar, and one day I gave my sister two cans of jasmine."
"So, thank you Tenth Sister."
Su Yan and Su Yunju chatted leisurely, Su Rong drank tea quietly, and only occasionally said a word or two. After a while, the two got up to say goodbye, and Su Yunju diligently sent them to the courtyard gate, watched the two slowly go away, and then returned to the house.
Su Rong suddenly asked Su Yan: "Tenth sister, do you think the third aunt did the right thing?" β
Su Yan thought for a while, "Regardless of the third aunt's right or wrong, she is indeed a good mother, and she is very considerate of the fifth sister." For the fifth sister, it is her blessing to be the daughter of the third aunt. And the fifth sister can sincerely accept this family business, not like Su Yunlan, it is also the luck of the third aunt.
Su Rong was not happy at that time, "What does the tenth sister mean is that my aunt treats her concubine harshly, isn't she a good mother?" β
Su Yan smiled, "When did I say that?" The seventh sister is too careful. I still have something to do, so let's go back first. The two of them don't talk speculatively, which inevitably makes the already not deep sisterhood even colder, and she plans to be less with Su Rong in the future.
Su Yan returned to the Yutang Courtyard, and a white shadow flew in front of him, landing directly on the branch next to him. The white parrot tilted its little head to look at Su Yan, opened its mouth and said flatteringly, "Good beauty." β
Su Yan ignored it and walked into the house.
The parrot was in a hurry, and followed with wings flapping, not knowing who to follow, and cried out in a mournful voice: "Beauty, have you really forgotten me!" β
Su Yan was so shocked by its voice that he staggered, turned around sharply, glared at the parrot that was already standing on the shelf, and said, "Who did you learn from these messes." β
"Aoyagi, Aoyagi!" The parrot spread its wings proudly, it found that Su Yan especially liked to listen to Qingliu singing, and secretly followed it to please her.
Su Yan was a little interested, she was frightened just now, and now that she thinks about it, the sentence that this parrot just said was really a bit of what Aoyagi meant when she read it, she picked up a seat at random, supported her cheek with one hand, and asked with interest: "What have you learned?" Sing a song and I'll listen to it. β
The white parrot will also bargain, "Beauty, change your name, change your name!" β
"If you sing well, I'll change your name."
"Change your name first!"
"You sing first."
When Lu came over, she happened to hear her daughter boredly playing with the parrot, she came in with the curtain, and said with a smile: "You are too boring, follow the bird." β
"Auntie." As soon as Su Yan saw Lu's family, he rubbed it over, diligently helped his mother sit down, and went to make tea in person, and served it to Lu's with both hands. made Lu cover his lips and smile, "The little girl will say it if she has something to say." β
Su Yan obediently leaned on her mother and sat down, pulled her sleeves with both hands and shook them coquettishly, "Auntie, I want to go out to play." "In the past few days, it has snowed in the sky, and the entire capital has been dressed in plain clothes. The snow fell relatively heavily, and all the families in Shangdu used the snow to build all kinds of snow sculptures, so that the family could enjoy them, and the Yasukuni Mansion naturally also had them, which made Su Yan, who grew up in Wu County, very novel.
Although there is snow in Wu County, it has never been big, and it is the first time she has seen this snow sculpture grow so big. Listening to Wanwan, the snow sculptures in the Hibiscus Garden are the best in the capital, and they have begun to take shape in the past few days, so she was invited to enjoy them.
"Where are you going?" The Lu family knew that Song Wan's little girl would not be good when she came.
Su Yan smiled flatteringly, and replied obediently, "Hibiscus Garden." I heard that the plum blossoms in the hibiscus garden are in full bloom and the snow sculptures are also interesting, so I wanted to check them out. β
Lu pondered for a moment, thinking that his daughter had been locked up for so long, and it was a little pitiful, so he nodded in agreement, and just told her, "Wear more clothes and play less in the snow." "This little girl didn't get bright yesterday, she ran to the garden to collect the snow on the plum blossoms, and she dared to put it in her mouth directly, she was really angry. It's such an adult, and it's like a child, which makes people worry.
"Hey, hey." Su Yan was caught by her mother yesterday and is currently in a period of reflection, "Auntie, don't worry, I definitely won't play in the snow." She originally wanted to build a snowman with Wan Wan and Gillian, but it seems that there is no fun.
