Chapter 125: Invitation
Uncle Ling wrote a letter to his family overnight, and the next day, Sun ordered his servants to send the letter back to Dingzhou.
After the servant who delivered the letter left, Sun suddenly remembered an important matter. After Ling Jingshu's sister and brother arrived in the capital, it seemed as if they had never written a letter to their family at all?
And that's not all!
In her daily conversations, Ling Jingshu did not reveal a trace of missing her family......
Is Ling Jingshu cold by nature, or is there something else hidden in it?
When Ling Jingshu's sister and brother came to ask for peace, Sun pretended to ask casually: "Ah Shu, Ah Xiao, you have been away from home to the capital for more than a month. Have you ever written a letter home? ”
From the day she left Dingzhou, she never planned to go back. The family in Dingzhou is just a group of people with blurred faces to her.
Where is she still in the mood to write a letter to her family?
Ling Jingshu tugged at the corners of her lips and replied lightly: "I've been busy with Ah Xiao's treatment these days, and I forgot to write a letter back for a while. ”
No matter how sluggish Sun was, he could hear that something was wrong, and his eyes swirled on Ling Jingshu's pretty face, full of inquiry: "Is it really just because you are busy and forget?" ”
Ling Jingshu's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked with a smile: "Why did the eldest aunt suddenly ask about this?" Could it be that my uncle had just written a letter back home, so my aunt remembered to ask me by the way? ”
Sun: "......"
This girl is simply born with a seven-trick exquisite heart. Shrewd and perceptive terrible!
Sun cleared his throat and said, "Yes, you said yes." Your uncle had someone write a letter to his family last night, and I just sent someone back to Dingzhou this morning. ”
Ling Jingshu snorted with a smile, and asked casually: "Is there anything important that the eldest uncle suddenly wrote a letter to the family?" ”
Sun coughed and replied a little unnaturally, "It's nothing particularly important." It's to report peace. There is also a matter of asking Ah Xiao to be treated by Dr. Wei Tai and tell them. lest they be anxious in Dingzhou. ”
I'm afraid it's not just that!
With the temperament of Uncle Ling and the Sun family, I am afraid that they have already aimed at the prince's mansion and started to dream of the emperor's relatives.
Ling Jingshu sneered in her heart, but she didn't say anything to expose the Sun family, and said with a smile along with Sun's words: "It's still the eldest aunt who has a heart, and our sister and brother have thanked the eldest aunt." ”
Sun is a little weak-hearted, and his face is not thick enough to the point that his face does not change. Squeeze out a smile. quickly opened the topic: "Ah Xiao has been treated twice by Doctor Wei, and he drinks decoction and ointment every day, does he feel better now?" ”
Ling Xiao replied obediently, "There is occasionally a stinging pain in the head. The eyes will feel hot and itchy. ”
"It's always good to feel something." Sun smiled and comforted Ling Xiao: "You have been blind for nearly six years before, and it will take some time to cure your eyes, and it will not take a few days." ”
While he was talking, the porter walked in briskly. With a somewhat strange look, he reported: "Mrs. Qiyu, the chamberlain of Princess Changping is here." ”
The Ling family and Princess Changping's mansion have never had any contact. How could Princess Changping suddenly send someone over?
Sun was stunned for a moment, and quickly remembered what happened when he met Princess Changping in the Prince's Mansion that day. At that time, Princess Changping casually said that Ling Jingshu would participate in the lotus banquet in the princess's mansion, could it be that this steward was sending an invitation?
Regardless of the intention, we must not slack off.
Sun immediately ordered: "Hurry up and ask the steward to come in." ”
……
Princess Changping is the most favored princess of the saint today. Everywhere you go, there is no shortage of people to please you. The attendants in the princess's mansion naturally have the arrogance of superiority.
This chamberlain was about seventeen or eighteen years old, and he was born quite handsome. It's just that the appearance is a little feminine, and the voice is a little shriek. After entering the inner hall. didn't even look at Sun and the others: "Our family is from the princess's mansion, you just call me Father-in-law." ”
Even if Sun's heart was not very comfortable, he would never show a single star, and greeted with a busy smile: "It turns out that Father-in-law Lu is here, hurry up and sit down and talk." Come on, serve tea! ”
As an official eunuch, there is absolutely no reason to salute an inner servant. Sun was so vague.
Father-in-law Lu was also not polite, and swaggered to sit in the first position.
Ling Jingshu and Ling Jingyan glanced at each other, and they both saw the disdain in each other's eyes.
What kind of master there is, what kind of slave there is.
This sentence is indeed true.
Father-in-law Lu drank half a cup of tea, and then slowly explained his intentions: "Our family is ordered by Her Royal Highness the princess today to specially send an invitation to the lotus banquet. ”
After speaking, he took out a dazzling golden invitation from his arms.
…… He Yan Wang is really a sister and brother of his relatives, and even an ordinary invitation is made of gold wire.
Sun took the invitation with both hands with a busy smile, and replied repeatedly: "Her Royal Highness the princess has a heart." Thank you Father-in-law Lu for running so far to deliver the invitation, here is a little careful, not respectful, and I hope that Father-in-law Lu will smile. ”
As he spoke, he stuffed a purse over.
Most castrated eunuchs love money.
This father-in-law is no exception.
A pinch of the purse, inside is a few fluttering pieces of paper. Apparently a silver ticket was placed.
Father-in-law Lu finally had a satisfied smile on his face, and his tone was a little kinder: "Those who are qualified to receive invitations are all the daughters of the Prince's Mansion." The ladies of the Ling family were fortunate to come to the banquet this time, which can be regarded as a blessing from the previous generation. ”
Although the words are harsh, they are also true.
At the banquet in the princess's mansion, the daughter of a mere four-rank official is never qualified to participate on weekdays.
After the Sun family sent off Father-in-law Lu with a thousand thanks, he immediately said to Ling Jingyan Ling Jingshu with excitement on his face: "Ah Yan, Ah Shu, this time to go to the princess's mansion for a banquet is a great opportunity for you. You can take this opportunity to meet some famous ladies. It would be even better if you could get to know one or two county lords or something. ”
Ling Jingyan flattened her mouth: "If they are all like the Lord of Fumin, it is okay if they don't get acquainted." ”
Ever since she heard about the "evil deeds" of the Fumin County Lord, in Ling Jingyan's heart, the Fumin County Lord was undoubtedly ranked first.
Thinking of the Fumin County Lord, Ling Jingyan couldn't help but be a little worried, and turned her head to look at Ling Jingshu: "Ashu, you and the Fumin County Lord have been married. On the day of the feast, what if I meet her? ”
Lord Fumin and Princess Changping are cousins, and they are indispensable on weekdays. This lotus feast, the lord of Fumin County is also going to go.
Ling Jingshu had expected this, and said lightly: "It's nothing if you encounter it, if she takes the initiative to provoke, I will ignore it." ”
She wants to get in touch with Princess Changping in the shortest possible time. In the future, it is indispensable to come and go, and it is inevitable to meet the rude and willful Lord Fumin. Blindly avoiding it is not the way to go.
