Chapter 154: Su Zhai
In the room, Su Yingtong sat at the table and looked at Lu Xi, who was nervous in front of him, and asked, "Lu Xi, why are you here?" ”
Lu Xi lowered his head in embarrassment.
Chen Li next to him couldn't bear it, and he dared to say to Su Yingtong: "Princess......"
Lu Xi raised her head suddenly, she looked at Su Yingtong in surprise, "Wang, princess? ”
Su Yingtong glared at Chen Li and said dishappily: "You go out first." ”
Seeing that the princess was already angry, Chen Li knew that he should disappear immediately, but seeing this girl's pitiful appearance, he still boldly said more: "The princess should not be angry." ”
Chen Li finally retreated, and Su Yingtong looked at Lu Xi and gave her an affirmative answer: "That's right, I am a daughter and a princess of Xiangyuan." ”
Lu Xi couldn't accept it for a while, why did Su Gongzi suddenly become a daughter?
Su Yingtong asked her to sit down, "You better tell me first, what's going on in your house?" "Lu Xi is here, and Gao Lifeng should have been in the air when he first went to the village.
Lu Xi's eyes moistened, and she said faintly: "Su ...... Princess, when you left the corridor half a year ago, you sent someone to the little woman's house, the little woman was very grateful, but the princess gave me a lot of money to rob my father to go to the gambling house, the old debts of the family have not been paid and new debts have been added, the debtor found the house to smash and rob, the mother was overwhelmed and suddenly fell ill and left, my father said that unless he sold me for money, he would not bury his mother...... It's a pity that my eldest brother joined the army far away on the border, and I still don't know that my mother is dead, and I can't see my mother for the last time......"
Su Yingtong put down the teacup in his hand and lowered his head in contemplation, looked at Lu Xi and said with difficulty: "Lu Xi, I don't want to hide it from you, I have seen your eldest brother in the frontier." ”
"Really?" Lu Xi looked overjoyed, she stood up, "Duke Su...... Princess, what happened to my eldest brother? Is he okay? My eldest brother's name is Lu Cheng, will the princess recognize the wrong person? ”
Seeing Lu Xi's eager reaction, Su Yingtong knew that their brother and sister had a deep relationship, and she bit her lip, "Lu Xi, you must be calm, your eldest brother is ...... Already killed on the battlefield. ”
Lu Xi's face turned white, and she asked, "Princess, what did you say?" ”
"Your eldest brother, he...... Lu Xi! Su Yingtong supported Lu Xi's fallen body, let her sit firmly on the stool, and helped her press the middle of the person hard, and it took a while to see Lu Xi wake up.
Seeing Lu Xi crying silently, Su Yingtong was also sad, what a girl, without her mother, her father was such a gambling person, and the only eldest brother died on the battlefield...... It's really no longer to rely on.
She said: "Lu Xi, your eldest brother entrusted me to take care of you before he died, if you are willing to return to Kyoto with me, I will not let you fall here." ”
Lu Xi knelt down with her body propped up: "The slave and maid thank you......"
Su Yingtong helped her up, seeing that Lu Xi called herself a "slave" so naturally, her heart was also bitter, this little girl seemed to have experienced a lot during this time, she said: "Lu Xi, you can go back to Kyoto with me to help in the house, you don't need to be a slave, so you don't have to call yourself a slave." ”
Lu Xi couldn't imagine that the princess took such good care of her, she looked at Su Yingtong and said, "Princess, slave maid ......"
"Lu Xi, we also have fate, your eldest brother is a soldier of the Wuling Army, he died for the country, the prince and I will not let the soldiers die in vain, at least the families of the soldiers must be settled...... There is also a shortage of people around me, if you are willing to follow me, you should be a worker in the house, or a free body. "If you become a slave, then there is really no day to turn over.
Lu Xi thanked Su Yingtong gratefully: "Thank you, princess." ”
Su Yingtong asked her to go down to rest, and asked Chen Li to take the silver to find the bustard to redeem Lu Xi, Chen Li was very active, and when he redeemed himself, he saw that the bustard still wanted to raise the price, so he rarely used force to intimidate, and quickly got things done.
When Lu Xi got her deed of sale, she didn't know what to say, she looked at Chen Li gratefully and thanked her: "Thank you, Brother Chen." ”
Chen Li's intimidation of the old bustard didn't know where to go, and he didn't dare to speak loudly in front of this girl: "Girl, no, you don't have to be polite." ”
Lu Xi still sincerely thanked him, and since then he has been by Su Yingtong's side.
Su Yingtong still encountered an attack before returning to Kyoto, but it didn't happen, and she didn't even alarm her, so the guards escorted her back to the lotus.
This house has not been nominated, and it has been arranged by the head of the Xiangyuan Palace, and it can be moved in immediately.
Mr. Lin is still the same fat and white, he should have also received the news that Su Yingtong returned to Beijing today, and he was waiting outside the door early, and he was still a little surprised when he saw Su Yingtong, the princess has really changed a lot, no wonder it is an orphan girl to the outside world.
is generous and calm, and her appearance also has the atmosphere of a daughter of a family, and she faintly has the momentum of a famous lady.
Manager Lin didn't dare to slack off, and followed behind Su Yingtong to enthusiastically introduce the mansion, where else was the prince asked to repair, and where was his own attention, hoping that the princess would take a look...... There will be no awkwardness at all, as if they have never had a holiday in Xiangyuan Wangfu before.
No wonder he can become the chief steward of Xiangyuan Palace, although people are a little greedy, but the ability to do things and this cheeky kung fu are also something that others can't learn.
Maybe because of this, Gong Jingyu didn't care about him getting some oil and water in the palace, after all, he used to be the person who followed the old princess.
Su Yingtong lived in the house with peace of mind, and she asked people to make a plaque, naming the house "Su House" is simple and convenient.
The people in Kyoto didn't know that the successor room of the king of Xiangyuan had lived in the lotus, and Mr. Lin was also very secretive, except for a few people who came to help, the people of the palace of Xiangyuan also did not know that the place to marry the bride had been decided.
Su Yingtong seized the opportunity to interrogate Manager Lin, but no matter how hard she tried, this Manager Lin couldn't tell the whereabouts of the Palace Mirror Domain, maybe he really didn't know, or maybe this old Jiang was too difficult to start, and Su Yingtong didn't know what the Palace Mirror Domain was doing now, and he couldn't say that he was not tormented in his heart.
She forced herself to calm down, and she would always find clues.
Su Yingtong asked Manager Lin to go to the palace and bring Qingmei over, but now she only has a big girl in Qingmei, and she can still trust Qingmei.
Qingmei saw Su Yingtong and thought she had seen a ghost, Su Yingtong had to explain to her, Qingmei cried with joy after hearing this, she said with wet eyes: "Princess, you can be fine, it is really a Bodhisattva manifestation." I couldn't help but bow a few times in the direction of the royal temple.
Su Yingtong asked about the current situation of the palace.
Qingmei told her carefully, and finally said: "Princess, Qingzhu, she treats you like this, and you also bury her excessively...... It is also her blessing. ”
Su Yingtong laughed at herself: "This is also to blame me, she has a different heart for the prince, I don't even know at all." (To be continued.) )
