Chapter 265: A Fire

There is no need for Zhao Changqing to conjecture about the next thing, the person who has been dead for a long time has changed and lived, not only alive, but also given the title of marquis, and has a prominent reputation.

Zhao Changqing ordered Yongfu to put away the file of the Chu family case that he had read halfway, and listened to what Ling said, "It's the prince of Chu, alas, it's pitiful to say, the first emperor has long known that the king of Shu is going to rebel, so he deliberately used a trick to ask the prince of Chu to go to the king of Shu to be an undercover agent." Now that the king of Shu is ambushed, the merits of the prince of Chu are complete, and in order to reward the prince of Chu, His Majesty made him a Hou, what is the name of Hou. ”

Hong'er smiled and held two teas, one was Zhao Changqing's medicinal tea, and the other was Tieguanyin, which the Ling family used to drink. Hong'er smiled, "Madam, it's the Marquis of Zhongxiang, right?" ”

"Oh, yes, yes, that's the name. It's good, but it's not very easy to remember. "No chance, the two families have changed Geng posts at the beginning, and the result is ...... The Chu family suddenly collapsed, and now it is suddenly getting better again...... Ling sighed, "Anyway, the Chu family is still there, and I'm happy for them." ”

Even if there were turbulent waves in his heart, Zhao Changqing still had a calm look and said, "It's always a good thing." "It's good to be alive.

Ling sighed again, "Yes." ”

After Zhao Changqing's body improved, he moved to the mansion rewarded by the imperial court with the Ling family, and the house was indeed excellent, and he could live directly without tidying up. In addition, there are some trivial household things such as bedding brocade tents, Mr. Su has purchased a few sets to send to the Zhao family, which solves the urgent need, and the charcoal burned in winter is prepared by pear fruit.

Ling Shi said straightly, "It's only now that we can see friendship." ”

When moving to the new house, the Ling family invited Su Bai, Liguo, Ling Teng, and the Yuan family to come over for dinner, and they also warmed the house.

The New Year is approaching, and the next thing is to buy New Year's goods, Zhao Changqing is cooked, and the Ling family has also been in charge for many years, the mother and daughter discussed, and before Zhao Yong and Lizi took the family to the imperial capital, they all purchased the New Year's goods. Even the courtyard where everyone wants to live is burned in advance, and the house is smoked warm with charcoal basins.

After six years of farewell, Mrs. Zhao looked even older, her hair was like frost and snow, and the old lady burst into tears when she saw Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing couldn't hide his sadness, but Ling persuaded, "The family is reunited, and the old lady is rightly happy." ”

Second Mrs. Ling smiled, "Yes." Changqing's appearance is all a fate, which one of our border cities is comparable to Changqing, don't be sad about the old lady of the in-laws. The good days are ahead, you just have to wait to enjoy the blessings of Changqing. "This time, Ling's second uncle and Mrs. Ling came to the imperial capital with Zhao Yong's family, if nothing else, Ling Teng couldn't marry a daughter-in-law after three years as an official, and the family was going crazy. It happened that the Zhao family came to the imperial capital, and after the second wife of Ling, the second uncle of Ling, discussed with Mrs. Ling, and then came to the imperial capital. Second Mrs. Ling had already made up her mind, no matter what kind of beautiful little jade she was, she didn't pick it now, she married her son first, and before closing her eyes and going into the ground, she had to hug her grandson! Moreover, she already has a daughter-in-law candidate!

Zhao Changyu was also very happy to see his eldest sister, Zhao Changxi and Zhao Changan were both young and ignorant, and Zhao Rong was still cold and indifferent. In short, the family has seen it, and they are more happy than sad.

In the winter, from the border city to the imperial capital, this road is thousands of miles away, Zhao Changqing was worried that Mrs. Zhao's legs would not be able to stand it, so he invited Doctor Su to come and see the party.

Old Mrs. Zhao asked Doctor Su about Zhao Changqing's body for a long time, knowing that the residual poison was gone, and she could recover from the past, and Old Lady Zhao was relieved.

Doctor Su prescribed a decoction prescription to Mrs. Zhao, and showed it to the rest of the Zhao family, and whispered something to Zhao Changqing when he left, and Zhao Yong took Zhao Changyu to send Doctor Su out.

Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Although the road is farther, I think the winter in the imperial capital is warmer than that in the border city." On the road, the car was covered with thick felt, and the slightest wind was impermeable, and it was very warm. ”

Zhao Changqing said, "Doctor Su is not easy to meet, or the emperor summoned him to the imperial capital two years ago, it is good to have a diagnosis and recuperate." ”

Mrs. Zhao touched her granddaughter's soft and slender hand and said, "It matters so much that I'm old, it's true that you should be good at life." ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "A few days ago, my mother stewed ginseng soup for me every day, and I drank it so much that I had a nosebleed in the middle of the night. ”

Ling Shi also felt funny when he thought about it, "Now that it has changed, I drink it once in half a month." ”

As soon as Mrs. Zhao arrived in the imperial capital, relatives came and went more closely, such as the family of Master Zhu in the imperial capital, and the Yuan family, who often came to talk.

However, the most frequent one is Mrs. Ling, and Mrs. Ling has nothing else to do, praising Zhao Rong from the inside out, that is really praising the external beauty and praising the inner beauty, praising the inner beauty, and praising the Ling family will regulate the girl.

Second Mrs. Ling's thoughts, a blind person can see it.

Ling listened to Mrs. Ling's endless praise of Zhao Rong, in fact, she was also a little moved in her heart, and discussed with Zhao Yong, "Ah Rong is already twenty-one, and in the blink of an eye, Ah Ning and her dragon and phoenix twins, the eldest sister will run away, and she has not landed yet." My hair turned white. I know that she has no one else in her heart, just thinking about Aten. Alas, if you cultivate such a stubborn seed, there is no way for gods and men. This family matter, why don't you just settle it? I think she is also willing. ”

Thinking of the second daughter's family affairs, Zhao Yong was not in a hurry, and said, "Anyway, it's time to wait until now, let's ask Ah Rong what she means." If she is not happy, she will not have a good life when she gets married. ”

After talking about the second daughter, he said the eldest daughter. Ling sighed, "You say, what can we do Changqing?" These days, Xia Wen has been here several times. ”

"Changqing saw him?"

"Nope."

"That's it, if I had known about such an ungrateful family as the Xia family, I wouldn't have been able to ask Changqing to marry again." Zhao Yong was still a little angry when he said it, and said, "Don't let the Xia family enter the door in the future." Changqing's family affairs are not in a hurry, first take care of his body, even if he remarries, he also has to marry a family of knowledge. ”

Ling's straight worried, "I don't know if I didn't burn high incense in my last life or what, you said Changqing, everything is good, but you can't give birth to ......"

"What do you mean by that? There are many people in the world who cannot be born and raised. ”

"Yes. There are many people who can't give birth, but how many people are as strong as her? Well, the days are confused, but she doesn't love to be true. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Yong was a little unwilling for his eldest daughter, and said, "Everyone's temper can be the same anywhere." Changqing has no shortage of skills, and you let her live a life of grievances, and you are too wronged by her. ”

"That's not called grievance." Ling Shi muttered, "Alas, once she marries the Xia family, she marries so far away, she has a bright light in other things, and she can't live in her in-law's family...... In the future, I will pass on some more experience to her......" After talking about the two daughters, Ling said that Zhao Changyu is also about to be the age of a daughter-in-law.

The husband and wife talked about the children's scriptures, and then they rested in the middle of the night.

Seeing that it is the New Year, the Ling family has no time to worry about the affairs of their children, and the relatives should be courteous, she prepared it at home, and asked her husband to take the second son out for the New Year's ceremony, and her husband has gone to the Royal Forest Army on an errand, and the Ling family also has some entertainment among female relatives.

When the Ling family first came to the imperial capital, they were not as familiar as Zhao Changqing, and they were a little older, not as young as they were young, so they relied on Zhao Changqing to help take care of many things.

Zhao Changqing will also tell the Ling family about the contacts of the imperial capital, "Cheng'en Mansion, that is, in the border city of Brother Ji's mansion in the past, ......"

"I remember this, it's time to talk about Song Dagongzi." Ling Shi smiled and said in hindsight, "At that time, I saw that the two sons of the Song family were not as good as ordinary people. ”

Zhao Changqing smiled, "Cheng'en's birthday is approaching, and our family and Cheng'en's mansion also have some friendship, so it's okay to have a lively time when the time comes." "In the past, when the first emperor was in Chengengong, he would not have celebrated his birthday with such fanfare, but now that the Empress Dowager Song is in power, the Song family naturally does not have to be as low-key as before.

Ling asked, "How can I prepare for a birthday gift?" ”

Zhao Changqing had already prepared a list, Ling had read it, and said to Zhao Rong, "Learn from your sister, you can use these in the future." ”

Zhao Rong responded with an "um", and Zhao Changqing continued to talk to the Ling family about other things.

Song Rong is the grandfather of today's majesty and the father of the current queen mother, and his birthday is quite lively. To Zhao Changqing's slight surprise, Mr. Su also went, of course, there was his daughter-in-law Qi Ru serving on the side.

Zhao Changqing is now a popular figure, even if some princes and wives are polite and affectionate to her, as long as they are not blind, they know that the prosperity of the Zhao family is imminent. Therefore, even if the Ling clan still had some border city accents when he first arrived in the imperial capital, he still felt the superficial friendliness of the upper class society of the imperial capital.

Old Lady Song said a few words to the Ling family first, looked at Zhao Changqing very kindly, took her hand and said, "Good boy, I have something good for you in a while." Mrs. Song had already expressed her good impression of the Zhao family to her son in private, "This family is the lucky star of our family, that Zhao Qianhu saved Jiayan at the beginning, and now the daughter of the Zhao family has saved the little princess." You can get good benefits. Therefore, for her own lucky star, the old lady Song, who has always been stingy, is also ready to send Zhao Changqing something to show her kindness.

Zhao Changqing smiled, "I came to eat the banquet, where can I be greedy for your things, old lady." ”

Mrs. Song said, "We are not outsiders, I specially found it for you." ”

These words couldn't help but make a group of relatives complain, the Zhao family is not an outsider, so we are outsiders? That's not what should be said in public. With Mrs. Song's social skills, she was able to occupy a place in the imperial capital, and she gave birth to two good sons by relying on her belly.

Alas, people, all fate. Just look at Mrs. Song.

Qi smiled and led away the old lady's words and introduced, "Old lady, this is Mrs. Yong'an Hou. ”

The Marquis of Yong'an ran an errand in Shu and had not yet returned to the imperial capital. Song Rong's birthday, Mrs. Yong'an Hou came with her son. Mrs. Yong'an Hou greeted Mrs. Song with a smile and went to sit.

Qi Shi saw his cousin and Mr. Su, and said to Mrs. Song, "Old lady, don't you often say, this is Su Tanhua's mother." ”

Mrs. Song glanced at Mr. Su and felt that Mr. Su was a little familiar, but she couldn't think of anything else, so she smiled and said, "I will come often in the future, Sister Fu often talks about Mr. and says that Mr. is a learned person." ”

Mr. Su smiled, "May you have a day every year, and a future every year." "Although Su Bai is familiar with the Song family, he is not a high-ranking official or a dignitary who came today, and the position of Mr. Su's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is still in the side hall.

Mr. Su took Qi Ru out, and inadvertently glanced at Mrs. Yong'an Hou, Mrs. Yong'an Hou heard that Su Bai's mother had arrived, and she couldn't help but look, the two looked at each other, and the tea cup in Mrs. Yong'an Hou's hand fell to the ground, splashing a skirt of hot tea, but the two eyes were still staring at Mr. Su, as if she had seen a ghost alive.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou suddenly lost her temper, and the maid ring beside her hurriedly stepped forward to serve, and Mrs. Yong'an Hou came back to her senses, but she couldn't help but look at Mr. Su. Mr. Su smiled and bowed slightly.

Mr. Su rarely goes out to socialize, and the imperial capital only knows that Su Tanhua was raised by his widowed mother, and rarely sees Mr. Su's face. Now some people just feel familiar, and when they see Mrs. Yong'anhou suddenly panic, some people with good memories such as Mrs. Ning'anhou Ji Min remembered, Ji Min was really startled, and couldn't help but go to see Mr. Su again, Mr. Su had already taken Qi Ru to the side hall.

Zhao Changqing looked at Mrs. Yong'an Hou, and said in his heart, it seems that Mrs. Yong'an Hou must know Mr. Su.

It was not only Mrs. Yong'an Hou who was frightened today, Mrs. Xia Shaoqing's wife Xia Gongren was also sitting in the side hall, and when she saw Mr. Su, she stood up directly from the chair, and her face changed greatly.

Qi Ru glanced at Xia Gongren strangely, and Xia Gongren sat back in a disdainful manner.

After returning home, Qi Ru couldn't help but say to her husband, "Today, Mrs. Yong'an Hou and Mrs. Xia Shaoqing looked strange when they saw their mother. ”

Su Bai had some wine on his body and said, "What's strange?" ”

Qi Ru served him and changed his clothes, Yahuan brought the sobering tea, Su Bai drank it bitterly, and listened to his daughter-in-law, "I look surprised and scared." Can't tell. ”

Since Xia Wen, Su Baite didn't like the Xia family, and said, "Maybe it's because I have done too much bad things, and I am afraid when I see it." ”

It was about her mother-in-law, so Qi Ru didn't say much.

Su Bai said, "Uncle Peng said that he wanted to sacrifice Da Su Tanhua, and it will be the right day in a few days, you prepare some sacrifices, and then we will go together." ”

Qi Ru responded.

Xia family.

Mrs. Yong'an Hou did not return to her home, but returned to Xia's house with her mother in shock. Mrs. Yong'an Hou was not relieved, and kept saying, "Mother, mother, she is back!" She's back! ”

Xia Gongren was well-informed in the end, poured a sip of herbal tea, and comforted his daughter, "Don't panic, don't panic, isn't it necessarily." Even if it is, what identity can she have now? You are Mrs. Yong'an Hou! Hold it steady for me! ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou rolled down her tears, her face turned pale, and she said sadly, "Mother, I am the stepfamily, and in front of the main room, I am the same as a concubine." It doesn't matter if I'm good or not, the title will change hands first. That Su Tanhua, Hou Ye likes what he likes very much. If you know this......"

Xia Gongren patted the armrest of the soft couch hatefully, gritted his teeth and whispered, "I obviously tested it back then, why didn't I burn her!" ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou only knew that she was afraid, and her decision was far less than that of her mother. After Xia Gongren was frightened and angry, she already had an idea, she gently wiped away the tears on her daughter's face with a handkerchief, and said with a smile, "My son, what are you anxious about." The people who set the fire back then were not in a hurry, and our mother and daughter did not have to be in a hurry. ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was stunned, Xia Gongren patted her hand, "Just go home and live in peace, this matter doesn't stop you, someone else will take care of it." ”

"Mother is ......"

Xia Gongren smiled, "Take advantage of the fact that Hou Ye went on an errand, quietly take care of this matter clearly, Hou Ye came back, what happened back then, and what will still be the case now." ”

Mrs. Yong'an Hou was still very uneasy, Xia Gongren comforted her daughter for a long time, and when her daughter was better, she let her go back to Yong'an Hou's mansion, and she went to visit Mrs. Li.

Zhao Changqing heard that Doctor Su was going to sacrifice Da Su Tanhua, and he also ordered someone to send a sacrifice to the past.

After sacrificing Da Su Tanhua, Mr. Su saw that the plum blossoms on the mountain were blooming well, so he said to Su Bai, "You go back first, I'll stay in the courtyard for a few days and then come back." ”

Su Bai said, "On a cold day, mother should go home together, it's too cold on the mountain, it's better to warm up at home." ”

Mr. Su smiled, "I informed the people in advance, the house is warm, where can it be cold." What's more, plum blossoms bloom only in winter. ”

Su Bai didn't want to ruin his mother's interest, and said, "Then I'll go back and send someone to send some thick clothes, and my mother will wear them cheaply." ”

Mr. Su nodded, "Go ahead." ”

There will always be strange similarities in the world, and even after more than 20 years, some people's methods are still not new.

Or, there is really something wrong with the feng shui of this annex.

Su Bai heard that there was a fire in the courtyard, and he almost didn't come up in one breath, and the little servant hurriedly said, "Mrs. is fine!" Grandma told the uncle to hurry back. ”

For such a major event as the fire in the courtyard, as soon as Su Bai asked for leave, Lord Zheng let him go back. Su Bai rushed home in a hurry, went straight to his mother's courtyard, and saw his mother sitting on the couch talking to his wife, Su Baifang put his mind at ease, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted, "Mother." He hurriedly looked over and asked, "It's not burning, is it?" Are you okay? ”

Mr. Su patted his son on the shoulder and smiled, "I'm fine." ”

Su Bai said, "But it scared me to death." Don't live in another courtyard by yourself in the future, why is it on fire? ”

Mr. Su said, "You go to the Imperial Capital Mansion to report the case, I caught a few thieves who set fires, and this matter is still good for the officials." ”

Su Bai asked, "Mother, are you really okay?" The courtyard is on fire, how did you spend last night? "On a winter night in the imperial capital, freezing can also freeze people to death.

Mr. Su understated, "Stayed at Princess Taichang's for the night." ”

Su Bai said, "I'll wait for Uncle Peng to come back and check your mother's pulse before reporting the case." ”

"Excuse me, let's go to the Imperial Capital Mansion first. With your daughter-in-law here, what else do you have to worry about? ”

Su Bai had to go to the Imperial Capital Mansion first, but before going to the Imperial Capital Mansion, Su Bai first interrogated the thieves who set the fire. It doesn't matter if this trial is made, Su Bai is not angry.
