Chapter Twenty-Three: The Flower of Wealth in the World
When Mrs. Su heard this, she was actually congratulating her birthday, and she was immediately excited, but she didn't expect the old prince with a prominent identity to remember her. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
But then she changed her mind, she and the old prince had no intersection, that is, when the third child was the secretary of the military department, she never mentioned the old prince. Regarding Ji Qianchen's words, the old lady was a little suspicious. Why did Ji Qianchen lie? Just to make her happy?
Su Yusheng didn't think about it so much, he was pleasantly surprised in his heart, and thanked him, "How can the Su family be remembered by the old prince." ”
"Please ask the prince to return to the old prince, the Su family is grateful. If the old prince is sent in the future, my Su family will go to the soup and fire, and I will not give up. ”
Being able to do things for the old prince is a blessing that no number of people can ask for!
Ji Qianchen waved his hand, and Meng Qing appeared in front of the old lady with a congratulatory gift, and respectfully placed it on the low wooden table beside the old lady. The congratulatory gift is a black nanmu wood-trimmed wooden box with a golden peony in full bloom carved on the lid. Peony, the king of flowers, the flower of wealth in the world, this is the symbol of the royal family of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
The old lady couldn't hide her excitement, stretched out her old hand, stroked the wooden box, and her eyes were a little moist. She was a merchant woman, and she was able to receive a congratulatory gift from the royal family. Leaning on crutches, he got up tremblingly, and was about to kneel towards Ji Qianchen, "The old body is grateful." ”
Ji Qianchen immediately ordered Mengshuang to help the old lady up, "The old lady doesn't have to be polite." Master Su's talent is world-renowned, Yu Guo is a pillar of talent, Yu is a minister of the humerus in the royal family, and the emperor's uncle is deeply appreciated, and he has mentioned it to my father many times. My father specially ordered me to go to Anyang to congratulate the old lady on her birthday, and I wish the old lady to be as blessed as the East China Sea and live longer than Nanshan. ”
Of course, these words are nothing more than pretexts.
His father only sent him to give gifts, but did not tell him why he sent them.
But this gift can't be given in an unclear way, which makes the Su family suspicious. He can only pull Su Jue out, he does have some talent, and many ministers in the DPRK and China even value him very much, thinking that he has a bright future in the future. Such a reason not only convinced the Su family, but also complimented Su Jue.
Ji Qianchen's words made the hearts of everyone in the Su family fall, and they were replaced by full pride. Especially the eldest lady, her gaze at Su Jue was a little more loving, this is the son she gave birth to in October, the shining son, and the support of the entire Su family.
Su Jue fell into deep thought, Ji Qianchen's words were too exaggerated.
……
Everyone in the Su family cautiously accompanied Ji Qianchen.
When it was almost luncheon time, the eldest lady glanced at Mama He and motioned for her to hurry up and bring Su Mo over. The living room chats, and the girl's family who has not left the boudoir is inconvenient to participate, but the luncheon is different. The huge dining room, separated by various screens, can sit around a table alone in the girl's house.
Mama He got the instructions and quietly left the living room and walked towards the "Xianle Pavilion".
"Seventh girl, the medicine is ready." At this time, Qi Yue was holding a bowl of steaming decoction in his hand, and the air was filled with bitterness. This medicine lasted for an hour. Of course, this hour was not in vain, she learned from Qiu Yue that the ninth girl's condition had not worsened, but she was in a bad mood and wanted to lie in bed.
Chunhua wanted to take the decoction, "Sister Qi Yue, let me send it to the ninth girl." ”
Qi Yue shook her head, "Sister Chunhua, the eldest lady sent me to see the ninth girl, I can't just go back." If the eldest lady asks questions, how can she answer? ”
Chunhua thought about it, Qi Yue was a maid in the eldest lady's courtyard, strictly speaking, she was not an outsider, and she no longer argued. knocked on the door and said to the people inside, "Nine girls...... Nine girls, have you slept...... The medicine is boiled......"
After a long time, Su Mo's voice came, "Come in." ”
Outside the door, Su Mo heard the conversation between Qi Yue and Chunhua, so she had to lean on the head of the bed, suppress her emotions, and try to make herself look weak.
Qi Yue pushed the door in, came to Su Mo's side, and looked at Su Mo almost imperceptibly, her face was a little pale, she was still wearing a white middle coat, black hair and shawl, and the whole person looked like a delicate flower, which made people can't help but feel love and pity.
They are also young women, and the people on the bed are like fairies in paintings, held by the stars and moons, and they can only do all kinds of rough work respectfully. Different people, different lives, I can't think about it, and I feel annoyed when I think about it.
"Nine girls drink it while it's hot." Qi Yue stirred the spoon, scooped out a spoonful, and fed it to Su Mo.
Su Mo turned his face away and said lukewarmly, "I don't want to drink it for the time being, you can put the medicine on the table." ”
Qi Yue followed Su Mo's instructions, put down the medicine bowl, turned around and took the peach-colored narrow waist and wide-sleeved cloud brocade long skirt hanging on the screen, with a white tassel around the waist of the long skirt, "Nine girls, the slave maid is waiting for you to get up." The front yard is very lively, all the girls and young masters have gone, and the eldest lady has sent slaves and maids to serve the girls. ”
Su Mo thought of Su Jue's advice and replied, "I'm not feeling well, so I'm not going anywhere." You give my mother a reply. After that, he shrank into the quilt.
Qi Yue hurriedly persuaded her, "Ninth girl, this can't be done. The eldest lady said that the identity of the prince who came to the mansion today is extremely noble, and all the girls and young masters must be dressed up, and they can't let that son underestimate the Su family. ”
"Even the five girls will go."
"Fifth sister is also going?" Su Mo was surprised. The fifth sister, Su Ying, lives in a simple house, why did she suddenly think of attending a luncheon today?
"Yes, the eldest lady originally said that the fifth girl was introverted and not suitable to participate in this kind of luncheon, but the old lady said that no matter who it is, she must go."
Qi Yue's words are half-truths and half-truths. The old lady didn't ask about these things at all, and the big and small matters were decided by the eldest lady. I heard Mama He say that there was indeed no Su Ying in the list at the beginning, but then for some reason, the eldest lady changed her mind and added Su Ying. Not only that, but also ordered people to send several sets of the most popular exquisite dress jewelry.
"So Nine Girls, you have to go."
Su Mo still didn't want to get up, "I want to go too, but I'm really uncomfortable, so I won't go to join in the fun." ”
……
Qi Yue was thinking about whether to expose Su Mo's lies. Mama He hurriedly walked in and said with a panicked expression, "Ninth girl, the eldest lady sent the old slave to invite you to immediately freshen up and dress up and attend the luncheon." I don't know who I heard mention that the nine girls are good at piano skills, and they have won the first place in Anyang for three consecutive years, so they have to let the nine girls show their skills. ”
"Nine girls...... The prince of the world is so big that even the master doesn't dare to disobey half a point...... If the nine girls don't go, I'm afraid of ......"
"This ......," Su Mo hesitated. If you go, I'm afraid that it will cause entanglements; If you don't go, the Su family will definitely suffer.
Mama He looked at Qi Yue, Qi Yue understood what Mama He meant, and then spoke, "Ninth girl, it's not too early, if you don't freshen up, it's too late." If you miss the time and make the prince unhappy, how can it be good. ”
"Is the second brother also there?" Su Mo pinned his hopes on Su Jue. With him here, she was somewhat relieved.
"Absolutely. The second prince is a minister in the court, so he naturally has to accompany the prince. Mama He saw Su Mo's heart move, and immediately freshened up and dressed her.
