Chapter 47: Members

"Say hello to the emperor." Concubine Xian walked in with a smile, and after seeing Zhong Su, her face showed a little surprise, and she didn't know if it was really an accident or pretending.

"Hurry up." The emperor smiled.

After Concubine Xian got up, she looked at Zhong Su and said, "Su'er is also there?" Is it not the right time for the concubine to come and disturb the emperor to talk about business with Su'er. Concubine Xian said, took out ginseng tea from the food box, and put it in the emperor's hand.

"It's okay, it's all family anyway." The emperor put the matter in the family affair, I don't know whether to give Zhong Su a reassuring pill or a virtuous concubine.

Zhong Su knelt down directly and said: "Your Majesty, the minister will never live up to Ran Ning in this life, and he will never marry Tan Ling." ”

Concubine Xian frowned and asked, "Tan Ling?" What's going on? ”

The emperor saw that Concubine Xian really looked completely unaware, so he patiently told her what was going on.

After listening, the virtuous concubine didn't say a word, knelt directly on the ground, and said with a stern face: "The emperor must not agree." ”

"Concubine Ai gets up first, since I said it was a family matter, I naturally want to discuss it with you." The emperor hurriedly said.

Concubine Xian didn't get up, and said in a very serious tone: "Your Majesty, the concubine can see that Su'er is sincere to Ran Ning, and she also knows that Su'er and Tan Ling don't have half a relationship between men and women, otherwise they wouldn't have said nothing." Now that Su'er and Ran Ning's little life is happening, the concubine really doesn't know what kind of heart the bachelor is pressing, do you have to spoil Su'er's good life and let him marry a concubine who has no feelings? ”

"You know, the concubine has always loved Su'er, and she doesn't want to see him do anything bad. Even if the scholar doesn't care about the face of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, he still has to take care of the emperor's face. The marriage between Su'er and Ran Ning was given by you, this is the honor of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei, and Su'er should not accept a concubine for the rest of his life to express his gratitude for the marriage. Even if you don't mention it from the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, Lao Wan Pingbo is a minister of the humerus that you rely on, the emperor was willing to give marriage, and the concubines understood that there was also Lao Wan Pingbo's affection. If Lao Wan Pingboquan knew and learned that the granddaughter he brought up was not valued by the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, he would casually marry a concubine and come back, he would not be blind. This is to trap you, the concubines, and the entire Zhenbei Marquis Mansion in an unkind and unjust situation, and the emperor will never agree. The concubines don't know what the intentions of the scholars are, but if the emperor agrees, then the concubines can only die and protect the benevolence and righteousness of the emperor and the entire Zhenbei Hou Mansion. "Concubine Xian said sincerely, and she looked like she would not compromise at all.

Zhong Su knelt there, and said with a stern face: "As my aunt said, the emperor gave him a marriage, and the ministers were grateful, and for the rest of his life, he only wanted Ran Ning alone." Please don't consider Lord Feng's letter, and the minister has no intention of accepting Tan Ling. ”

Hearing that both of them were so resolute, the emperor smiled a little and said, "Concubine Ai and Su'er don't be so nervous, I didn't want to agree, but I always want to ask you." ”

"As a courtier, not only did he not share his worries for the emperor, but he ignored the emperor's will and let the Zhenbei Marquis Mansion do this kind of thing, and the concubine couldn't help but be angry. The concubines have gaffes, and I hope the emperor will not blame them. The virtuous concubine softened her figure, lost her previous hardness, and looked like a gentle woman.

"Get up quickly, it's cold on the ground, don't kneel down." The emperor came over and wanted to help the virtuous concubine up. He likes the virtuous concubine the most, she doesn't flinch when she encounters problems, she has a position, she speaks reasonably, and every word can be said to his heart. And after saying this, she can be like a little daughter's family, gentle and sensible, and unassuming.

"Then the emperor promised his concubines first, and he would never let Su'er take concubines." The virtuous concubine begged the emperor a little coquettishly.

The emperor smiled and said, "Okay, get up quickly." "After Tan Feng's incident, the emperor was unwilling for the Zhong family to marry the Tan family again. Now seeing that Zhong Su and Concubine Xiangui are so resolute, which is exactly what he wants, he naturally has no reason not to agree.

"Your Majesty." The virtuous concubine respectfully saluted the emperor before letting the emperor help herself up.

Zhong Su also thanked him and got up.

Tan Ling's matter was finished and settled, and Zhong Su didn't stay long, so he retired first. No matter what others guessed, Zhong Su knew that it was not a coincidence that his aunt came over, and he resolved the problem very well, and he was even more sacred, presumably his aunt had heard the news a long time ago and waited for the emperor to summon him. However, if his mother knew about this, I am afraid that she would be more dissatisfied than surprised, even if her mother was willing to postpone it for a year, his aunt also seized this opportunity at the right time and completely stifled the possibility of Tan Ling's entry. Therefore, sometimes women use their wrists to be hundreds of times stronger than men, because of their own weakness, they can break the defenses of others, and often get twice the result with half the effort.

As soon as he left the palace gate, Xiao Wu said to Zhong Su outside the carriage: "Master, Young Master Yuan's carriage is parked on the side." ”

Most of the time this is a matter of waiting for the clock.

"Let's go over." After snuffing out Tan Ling's matter, Zhong Su was in a good mood, and it was nothing for Yuan Hengyang to delay a little time.

The carriage leaned over, Zhong Su lifted the curtain, and saw the smiling faces of Yuan Hengyang and Du Muyi, Du Muyi sat on Yuan Hengyang's car, and he didn't know when he came.

"What did the emperor summon you to do? It's not hard for you, right? Du Muyi asked in a low voice.

"Little thing, my aunt has already solved it." Zhong Su said. Only my aunt can say that aunt's words, but for him, his strength is not enough, not enough to represent the position of the Hou Mansion in Zhenbei.

"That's good. Today's weather is good, Hengyang has set up a private room in the guest house, and called his younger brothers and sisters to come out for a meal together. Du Mu said with a smile.

Zhong Su thought about it, Ran Ning likes the dim sum of the guest house, and he had agreed to take Ran Ning to see Du Muyi and Yuan Hengyang before, so he happened to be free today, so it was good to call Ran Ning to see him.

"You go back to pick up the young lady to the guest house, slow down on the road." Zhong Su instructed Xiao Wu.

"Yes." Xiao Wu immediately answered, and then followed the coachman and drove back home.

Zhong Su got into Yuan Hengyang's car, anyway, the car was big enough, even if it sat three people, it wouldn't look crowded.

Ran Ning, who heard Xiao Wu's words, cleaned up, and originally wanted to report to the Tan family, but the maid said that the Tan family had already taken Tan Ling out, so Ran Ning went out directly.

When Ran Ning arrived, the three of them had already made tea and talked about Nan Yan's upcoming visit.

As soon as Ran Ning entered the door, Zhong Su got up first to greet him, looking at the smile on Ran Ning's face, he also felt down-to-earth.

Du Muyi and Yuan Hengyang also stood up and said to Ran Ningzuo, "Brother and sister." ”

Ran Ning also saluted them back, saying, "Du Gongzi, Yuan Gongzi." ”

Yuan Hengyang was a little surprised that Yu Ran Ning actually knew who he was, so he asked, "Brother and sister know me?" ”

"Xianggong mentioned it to me, and then look at your clothing and bearing, you can probably guess it." Ran Ning said.

"Brother and sister have good eyesight." Yuan Hengyang laughed, but he was not restrained.

Yuan Hengyang's first impression of Ran Ning was very good, probably because he stayed in the army all the year round, plus he went out to fight at a young age and had outstanding achievements, so the whole person looked high-spirited, very confident, and did not stick to those so-called etiquette, which can be described as etiquette and proper advance and retreat.

After the four of them sat down, Zhong Su poured tea for Ran Ning.

Yuan Hengyang asked Ran Ning with a smile, "Is Zhong Su particularly boring?" With a straight face all day long, he looks like he is not approached. ”

Ran Ning smiled and said, "No." Xiang Gong is well-informed, and can tell me a lot of interesting stories. ”

"Oh?" Yuan Hengyang raised his eyebrows, "He still has this hand?" It's really rare, and it's usually hard to hear him say a few more words. ”

"The two of them have known each other for many years, and even if they don't talk much, they can guess what he means. And I haven't known my husband for a long time, and many things naturally have to be said by him a few more words to understand. Ran Ning said with a smile.

"My brother and sister are really talkative, and I feel comfortable listening to them." As he spoke, he patted Zhong Su on the shoulder and said, "Can't you learn from your younger siblings?" Don't keep a face all the time. ”

Du Muyi took a sip of tea and said, "You still don't know him?" If he smiled at you that day, you'd probably think he must have been impersonated. ”

Du Muyi and Ran Ning are old acquaintances, so naturally there is no need to be restrained.

Yuan Hengyang pondered for a while, and nodded in agreement, "Also, forget it, I'm afraid I'll be frightened." ”

After that, Zhong Su chatted with Yuan Hengyang about the inspection arrangements during Nanyanguo's visit, which were finally decided by the emperor in the end.

Du Muyi began to chat with Ran Ning about the recent new books released by the bookstore, he and Ran Ning both like to read, and he is a civil official, so he naturally chatted with Ran Ning more in this regard, and also said a lot of Nanyan's customs to Ran Ning, which made Ran Ning's understanding of Nanyan a little deeper.

While the four of them were talking, they heard a commotion coming from downstairs. Originally, this matter had nothing to do with them, but Zhong Su was the commander of Jingwei, and there was a noise on the road in broad daylight, and it was quite fierce, so he always wanted to take a look.

The four of them came to the window, they all opened the window, and Ran Ning looked downstairs, with a little surprise in his eyes. It was none other than her brother Ran Mi who was arguing with someone downstairs.

Since Yu Fang's incident, Ran Mi has been honest for a while, but he didn't expect that after only a few days of work, he would relapse again.

At this time, Ran Mi was holding a girl in his hand, followed by several family members, and was shouting at a Sven son. And the girl he was holding in his hand didn't look like a woman from a good family, she was already crying at this time, and she looked at the Sven son with help in her eyes.

Zhong Su also recognized Ran Mi and glanced at Ran Ning. Although there was some surprise in Ran Ning's eyes, she didn't mean to care.

Du Muyi held his chin to watch the play and said, "Isn't that Jiang Peng, the grandson of Prime Minister Zuo?" ”

As soon as he said this, Zhong Su and Yuan Hengyang couldn't help but take a closer look, it was indeed Jiang Peng. This Zuo Xiang's grandson doesn't seem to be doing anything good for the son of tens of thousands of uncles, which is really surprising.
