Chapter 143: Torment (3)
Su Mu looked around with a light smile, raised his head and glanced at the fiery red sky reflected by the sunset, and said: "The second brother is a filial son, and he should take the Yang family back to Qinghui Garden, as long as the Yang family is willing to be the second brother's filial piety, what do I have to say." Su Mu's words shocked Gong Ling and the others, although they hated the Yang family, they also felt that Su Mu was generous.
Su Yu never thought that Su Mu would say this, and she was very grateful.
Su Mu smiled: "It's really cold at night, thank you second brother for this dress." ”
It was rare to see such a warm smile on Su Yu's face, and said: "Tonight is the Lantern Festival, and it will be very lively outside, and Concubine Zhen's father spent a lot of money to celebrate the eldest brother's wedding, and after a while, he will put flowers outside the gate of the mansion for nearly half an hour." How could the third sister not dress warmly and watch. ”
Su Mu closed his clothes, although he approved a piece of clothing, he would not feel the cold air at night, but his heart was a little cold.
If you listen carefully, you can really hear the bustle outside the house in the noisy festivities.
"Huh?" A woman screamed, Su Mu and the others followed the voice, and Tong'er was rubbing her head with her hands, as if she had hit a wall.
Seeing that she was being noticed, Zheng Wan walked out, greeted Su Mu well, and said with a smile: "It's all the girls around me, I don't know if I have shocked the master Yuan." ”
Tong'er leaned sideways and tilted her chin, thinking about who offended her, this is admired by the master, Su Mu is not an eventful person, everyone is equal, and he doesn't care, and said with a smile: "Zheng Qianjin is too worried, I am not so delicate." ”
Zheng Wan pulled Tong'er and said with a smile: "There will be fireworks, I don't know if the master and the emperor will reward it?" ”
Su Mu didn't need to look at Zheng Wan much to feel that this person was very thoughtful. It's been a few interviews, and every time it's the same feeling. It's that transparent demeanor that makes people not disgusted with her. Moved his footsteps. said with a smile: "Who can take the emperor's thoughts, but Concubine Zhen must see it." "Let's go back to the water mirror platform. Zheng Wan immediately congratulated, got up slowly, and said to herself, "Such a beautiful but not demonic, pure as a jade woman, really beautiful want to have, don't blame the emperor and the prince of the West are affectionate with her." ”
Tong'er sneered and said, "Miss, is it possible to envy her?" With a bit of his own appearance, he is showing off. They are all women who have lost their children, and they are not even complete, how can they be said to be Bingqing Yujie! ”
Zheng Wan glanced at Tong'er and said sharply: "I always regard you as my own sister, and I spoil you on weekdays, but you also have to know some measure, if you enter the palace one day, your mouth will be indispensable." ”
Tong'er's face flushed. If it weren't for her mother's humble background, she would also be a boudoir lady this time, and she could read more books without being angry, and she was always waiting for the opportunity to get ahead.
Gongying thought about things while stroking Su Mu. Su Mu asked, "What do you think again?" ”
Gongying walked up to Su Mu, everyone stopped, and saw Gongying gesturing: "Miss." Don't you think the young lady of the Zheng family is strange? It's so lively outside, I have to run to the backyard. is still hiding, who doesn't know that the emperor is using good things on the water mirror platform. ”
Su An exclaimed: "According to Gongying, then Miss Zheng is waiting for a chance encounter in this emperor, so that she can choose a day to enter the palace as a concubine?" ”
The family rules of Su Mansion are very strict, and there will be no people walking around the house at will, even if there are guests visiting, they will definitely not be accompanied by people from Su Mansion. It's just that today's Su Fu wedding, Tianhuang nobles, important ministers in the court, and Jiagu merchants and gentry from all the surrounding circles came to congratulate them, and it was inevitable that such a number of customers would be missed for a while.
Gong Ling nodded, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Miss Zheng, it is true that she has reached the age of marriage, and her aunt has also said that she has several relatives, and they are all big families in Kyoto, and they were all directly returned by Miss Zheng. ”
Su Mu couldn't help but glance back behind him, and saw Zheng Wan's master and servant still hovering here from a distance, Su Mu came back to his senses and walked forward, but his pace slowed down significantly, and he said slowly: "Zheng Wan was born in a scholarly family, and she is a woman who reads poetry and books, so it is inevitable that she will be arrogant, I am afraid that the royal magnates will not take it seriously, but I remember that when the emperor just ascended the throne, how many women were looking forward to being entered into the palace by the queen mother, she entered the palace with Shi Shuyi, I thought she would be a concubine, but it was unexpected by everyone and did not stay in the palace." So she is here, maybe waiting for the virtuous concubine. ”
Shi Han walked over with a smile and said, "This yard is too big, and I came out before and after my feet to find you." ”
As soon as Shihan came out, Su Mu didn't want to go back to the water mirror platform, and said in surprise: "The fireworks arranged by your father are about to be released, and it just so happens that you are coming out again, let's go watch it together." ”
Shi Han likes to be lively, took Su Mu's hand and walked out, the two talked and laughed, Su Yu kept following closely, just stepped out of a step, Shi Han asked: "Didn't you say that you want to go to the lantern festival with the emperor, why don't you ask Gong Ling to go back and call the emperor together?" ”
Gong Ling smiled and waited for Su Mu's meaning, the red silk everywhere, the lanterns everywhere, Hongren was in the water mirror platform at this time and said that he was on the head of Xing, could it be that he wanted to remind him, and said that he would enjoy the lanterns together?
Su Mu lowered his eyes and said, "No need, it's rare for the emperor and the concubine to be so speculative, so why should we bother them." ”
Shi Han jumped down the stone steps step by step, and said hurriedly: "Why did you disturb them, maybe the emperor is waiting for you to invite him to go with him." ”
"Your Majesty, Lord Shen's fireworks are about to start, please move to the front hall and enjoy the beautiful scenery." Lord Lan and Su Xiang invited the emperor together.
Hongren looked at the vacant seat in His Highness and said, "Concubine Zhen and Concubine Yuan have not returned yet, wait for the two of them." ”
When I was young, a eunuch came in the back, Zhang Ningye saw that it was from the Queen Mother's palace, and was busy coming, and the eunuch saw Zhang Ningye coming, whispered a few words in his ear, and left.
Zhang Ningye went up the steps again, and whispered to the emperor: "The queen mother said before that she was only fifteen, but this time the spirit is coming, and she is setting up a banquet in Yongshou Palace, and the queen mother, Liu Guiren and Shi promised to accompany you." Fang Cai's slave looked like a little eunuch in the queen mother's palace, and passed, the queen mother meant to let the emperor go back to accompany him. ”
Zhang Ningye and the emperor were talking again, and everyone began to mumble in their hearts, Lord Lan and Su Xiang looked at each other, afraid that something would not be done well, and it would cause displeasure to the holy face.
Hongren picked up the wine honor, and a smile appeared: "Water Mirror Terrace, it's really a good place......
Yongshou Palace
Liu Menglu was wearing a ceremonial dress, holding a delicate lantern in her hand, the old glass was full of small seal body longevity characters, up and down are rare agarwood, lit on the oil lamp, once heated, there will be a faint fragrance, leave the table and kneel in front of the queen mother, presented to the queen mother, the queen mother may not have shown a smile for a long time, saw such a novel object and immediately smiled, said, "The queen has a heart, and specially held a family banquet for the mourning family, got these furnishings, and did not go out of the palace and felt that I enjoyed the beautiful scenery outside, that is, only a few of you were accompanied." ”
Liu Menglu got up and said with a smile: "The emperor sent someone to bring a message, saying that he would come back to accompany the Queen Mother for the fifteenth fifteenth day with him." ”
The Queen Mother just smiled, and Liu Menglu returned to her seat, glanced at Shi Shuyi, and lowered her eyelids again.
Shi Shuyi comprehended, smiled and sang: "Queen Mother, the concubine has also prepared a lantern for you, although it is not as exquisite and chic as the queen's mother, but it is also the concubine's heart, I hope the queen mother will accept it with a smile." ”
After that, he got up and left the table, presented it to the Queen Mother, and while the Queen Mother was on the rise, he changed his voice and said: "If it weren't for the mother of the concubine's family choosing to hold a big wedding today, the Queen Mother's palace may be as lively as Su Mansion at this moment, and people from all over the world will come to congratulate you on your birthday and festival, and everyone will be in Su Xiangfu." ”
Liu Menglu kept smiling, as if listening lightly, but she was anxiously waiting for the Queen Mother's reply.
The Queen Mother couldn't help but turn gloomy, and put aside the lantern in her hand. (To be continued......)
