Chapter 40: The Invitation of Princess Qing
It's already mid-April, and summer is at the beginning, and the weather inevitably gets warmer, especially in the afternoon. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But this is a good thing for them, because the season of cold and hot days and cold nights has finally passed peacefully, at least this year, Su Jin's cold disease has not occurred, and it will not recur for the time being.
Although the lotus pond in the forecourt of the brocade house has not yet seen the shadow of the lotus, the lotus leaves have slowly surfaced, and the swimming fish under the shade of the lotus leaves also appear to be more and more lively and cheerful, back and forth, sometimes jump out of the water, accidentally fall into the lotus leaf vortex, and have to struggle a little before they can slide down the lotus leaves and return to the water, but they seem to amuse the owner of the poolside.
"Sister Su, when can we eat them? I think they're already fat enough by now! If you keep raising it, the meat will be old......"
Biyue lay on the stone stop by the pool, holding her head in one hand and a slender willow branch in the other, sweeping the water surface of the lotus pond below for a while, looking at the little fat fish swimming over under the water surface, she couldn't help but think of the steamed sea bass in Xiangfulou, the braised crucian carp in Tianxiangju, the yellow braised carp, and the chopped pepper fish pieces in Yujing Pavilion...... Don't say that when you eat, just think about it, you can make the whole world better.
Su Jin, who was sitting on the stone fence under the green willow and reading a book next to him, heard Biyue's words and smiled lightly, "I can't stop you if you want to look at them and think about something else, but if you want to send them into your stomach, I advise you not to think about it!" ”
Biyue refused to give up, "Sister Su, why?" You raise so many fatty fish for no reason and don't let them eat, so what's the point of raising them? Besides, there are so many ready-made fatty fish, when do you want to eat and jump down to catch one, and you don't have to go to that Tianxiangju, Yujing Pavilion or Xiangfulou or other places, how trouble-free! ”
Su Jin smiled lightly, "But I remember, there doesn't seem to be a shortage of fish in the dining room in our house, right?" ”
"Can that be the same?"
Su Jin was about to smile and ask Biyue what was different, Bi Xi came over, "Girl, the people from King Qing's Mansion just sent an invitation over, saying that Princess Qing wants to invite you to come over!" ”
"Princess Qing?" Su Jin was surprised.
Bixi nodded, "Yes." ”
"Sister Su and Princess Qing have nothing to do with each other, what did Princess Qing do when she came to ask Sister Su?" Biyue said strangely.
Su Jin paused, and suddenly smiled, "I really don't have any direct intersection with Princess Qing, but there are indirect ones, such as her husband King Qing, and her father Zhao Linchong!" Therefore, today's invitation to the house, although it is in her name, may not be hers. ”
"The girl is saying that this is actually what King Qing meant?"
"It may also be that King Qing and Zhao Linchong have the same meaning!" Su Jin said with a light smile.
"Then why didn't they directly and frankly invite the girl over, but they wanted to invite the name of Princess Qing? Could it be that they are already suspicious of us? ”
Su Jin shook his head with a smile, "It's not time for them to be suspicious, I think the reason why they borrowed the name of Princess Qing is just to avoid suspicion as much as possible." After all, it is not necessarily a good thing for an auxiliary prince to have a close relationship with a wealthy businessman in power, and it may be troublesome when Emperor Chen suddenly remembers that he cares about this brother-in-law's younger brother. ”
"Then this invitation, is the girl still going?" Bi Xi asked.
"Go! Of course you want to go, why not? Su Jin smiled and said, "What about Jing Yu?" I haven't said I'm going to give it to anyone else! ”
Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, as soon as Su Jin's words fell, Jing Yu was lazily walking out of the atrium and protested against Su Jin's words just now, "Girl, don't you think it's a bit overkill?" ”
Biyue laughed, "How can this be overkill?" This is obviously a big use! ”
"Bixi, accompany me back to change clothes, after all, it's a guest, it's not good to be too casual!" Su Jin closed the book and got up.
Bi Xi smiled and nodded, "Okay! Girl. ”
Biyue immediately jumped in front of Su Jin and Bixi excitedly and asked, "What about me?" Should I change my clothes too? ”
Su Jin smiled and shook his head, "You don't have to!" ”
"Why?" Biyue said strangely, "But, Sister Su, are you sure I want to dress like this and go to Qingwangfu?" Not quite right! Biyue gestured at the clothes she was wearing.
It's not old or dirty, Biyue is the same as Bixi, they are people with cleanliness, and naturally the most intolerable thing is that there is any dirt on the body, but for a little girl who basically has no aesthetic concept, don't say what beauty she wears, as long as she doesn't dress like a fancy dress, it's not easy. Bixi, as an older sister, also has a headache, but every time Bixi forcibly takes care of her clothes, she is very resistant, because she feels that it is too troublesome to wear like that, too uncomfortable, and she is so restrained that she can't even use the sword well, helpless, so Bixi has to solve these problems by herself after that.
"What's wrong with this, didn't you always wear it like this when you stayed in the mansion before?" Su Jin said with a smile.
Biyue was about to continue asking, but she was stunned for a moment before she suddenly came back to her senses, what Su Jin meant by this.......
Biyue's face changed, and she said hurriedly, "Sister Su, you mean, you don't take me there?" ”
"The girl used to have a big deal to talk about, and she didn't go to play, what are you a little girl going to participate in?" Bi Xi said lightly.
Su Jin smiled lightly and comforted, "Today, your sister and I are not in the house, and even Jing Yu unfortunately took on the role of a groom, so you are free today!" ”
Biyue's expression fell, but before she could complain, Su Jin and Bixi had already turned around and entered the atrium and changed their clothes.
Biyue pouted, stomped on the ground fiercely, and said indignantly, "Isn't it Qingwangfu!" If you don't go, you won't go, what's the big deal! ”
Jing Yu, who was leaning against the willow tree and waiting for someone behind him, smiled, "Hmm! That's right, you're still a housekeeper, and you're always much better than me, the groom, anyway! ”
Biyue turned around and slapped a cold knife over, "Stinky groom, shut up for me!" ”
Jing Yu pursed his lips very innocently and said, "You can't blame me for this, it's not that I won't let you go, besides, the 'stinky horseman' also has the right to speak as the 'stinky horseman', you can't just let me say anything because I'm a 'stinky horseman'!" ”
.......
.......
When Su Jin's carriage arrived in front of King Qing's mansion, the chief steward of the palace and several domestic slaves had been waiting in front of the mansion for a long time.
When he helped Su Jin get out of the carriage, even Bi Xi, who had seen countless worlds, couldn't help but sigh, "It's really worthy of Qingwangfu!" ”
Su Jin raised his eyes and glanced at the huge and majestic mansion in front of him, and said with a secret smile, if his Qingwang Mansion didn't have such an appearance, it would be rare! But in the immediate situation, such words cannot be spoken.
Many people have heard that the carriage that Miss Su Jiasan rode seems to be ordinary, but in fact, the horses used are all Yue's iron-hoofed horses that are also priceless and difficult to find in the entire Dachen, and this chief steward of Qingwangfu is no exception, so when he was sure that Su Jin and the three of them stepped out of the carriage, his first reaction was to see the true face of this rare and precious Yue's iron-hoof horse.
However, when his eyes looked at the two red and brown horses of the same color, he didn't see any difference, and said in his heart, could this be the rumored rare BMW Yue's iron hoof horse? But although the two horses should not be bad, what is the difference between this and those ordinary horses raised in their own palace?
How did he know that these two horses were just ordinary horses, the real two rare horses, one is no longer in the Jin Tomb, it was ridden to Di'an by the eldest prince of the Su family, and because the Yue's iron hoof horse is more withdrawn and does not fit in with ordinary horses, it naturally has no way to let it serve with other horses, so the remaining one can only stay in the Jin Mansion and be idle, and it has to be supported by delicious food and drink.
"Miss Su, please, my princess has been waiting for a long time." The chief steward had already regained his mind, stood on the side of the mansion gate, and said respectfully towards Su Jin.
Su Jin smiled and bowed, "It's hard work!" ”
The chief steward led Su Jin and the three of them into the mansion quickly, and the magnificent scenery in the mansion was even more jaw-dropping, sighing, even Su Jin was slightly surprised, King Qing of the heart actually built his palace mansion to even many palaces in the palace have been surpassed, if it is not for the incomparable gap in scale, then it is really comparable to the palace scenery, he dared to do such a high-profile, and he was not afraid of attracting the dissatisfaction and even jealousy of his scheming, suspicious and jealous elder brother?
But thinking about it the other way around, Su Jin suddenly understood, the more sharp King Qing was, the more he didn't know how to restrain himself, the more extravagant and wasteful, and his reputation was ruined, wasn't Emperor Chen more relieved?
It seems that King Qing is indeed not a stupid person, that is, when he has not yet given birth to the ambition to seize the throne, he has already understood how to gain the trust of Emperor Chen, or at least rest assured, so that his interests can be protected to the greatest extent.
A few people followed the chief steward in the huge garden-style palace for a long time before finally reaching the scope of the atrium.
Then, a very richly dressed young beautiful woman came in the direction of Su Jin and the three of them, and the chief steward who led the way for the three of them immediately stepped aside respectfully, and bowed to the young beautiful woman with both hands together, "Old slave, I've seen the princess!"
