"Is this Miss Su Yingtong Su?"

Su Yingtong looked at the dignified lady outside the door, stunned for a while, and the lady introduced herself: "I am Changfu Xie, can I enter the door and sit for a while?" ”

Qingmei reminded in a whisper behind her: "Princess, Xie Mansion is the old princess's maiden family, and Lord Xie is the chief priest of the country, and the second master of Anguo Mansion is at the same level." ”

As soon as Qingmei reminded Su Yingtong like this, she remembered that this Xie family was the brother-in-law of the old princess and the aunt of Gongjingyu.

Because the old princess is indifferent by nature, she rarely moves around with her mother's family, and the palace mirror domain is not often in Kyoto, and the connection between the Xiangyuan Royal Mansion and her relatives is just that every year during the New Year's Festival, the chief manager Lin drafts a gift list to send gifts to the various mansions, so she almost forgot about the Xie Mansion.

Fortunately, the Xiangyuan Royal Mansion has been prosperous in the court for a long time, and the Xiangyuan Royal Mansion has not offended people by acting like this, but from now on, she will maintain these relationships well.

Su Yingtong hurriedly welcomed Xie into the room, "The place is narrow, and I have wronged Mrs. ”

"It's Miss Su who has been wronged, if Miss Su doesn't dislike it, she can go to the house to stay for a few days and wait for the prince to come back." Xie Shi is very talkative, even a little enthusiastic, and it seems that he is not a difficult person to get along with.

Su Yingtong said gratefully: "Thank you, Mrs. Chang, it's just that I don't plan to climb the prince high, and now I live here just because I have nowhere to go......"

"How can there be nowhere to go." Xie Shi carefully observed this Miss Su and saw that she was indeed a little similar to the previous Princess Xiangyuan, but she was much more beautiful than Princess Xiangyuan, and she didn't look like an ignorant girl who grew up in the countryside.

Seeing that she was followed by the eldest maid of Princess Xiangyuan, this gave Xie more confidence, this Miss Su does not seem to be a simple woman, just looking at her daring to marry like this is already unusual, but it is also good to be smart, the old princess can't take care of things, the former Princess Xiangyuan is the daughter of the prime minister, and now if this Miss Su can help some Xiangyuan take care of the palace, how can the Xiangyuan palace be so easy to be suppressed, they can marry the eldest lady in the Changfu mansion, although the eldest lady does not have too much support for her mother's family, But others see them as relatives of the Xiangyuan Royal Mansion, and how dare they despise them.

One glory and one loss, she didn't want the Xiangyuan palace to be suppressed by the saint, and she was worried that if this Xiangyuan royal stepfamily was really an illiterate rural orphan, it would not drag down the prince, the prince was already very troubled in the court, did she have to be distracted to take care of her...... Fortunately, this Miss Su is also a smart person.

The so-called danger is organic, this is a good opportunity to repair relations with the Xiangyuan Palace.

Thinking of this, Xie Shi was even more polite to Su Yingtong, "The girl also has to believe in Xiangyuan, since Xiangyuan said that he wanted to marry the girl, he will not break his word, and he will wait for the prince to come back, don't be impulsive." I didn't say anything to Su Yingtong, "It's just a noble concubine, which man doesn't have a few concubines", I don't think it's because I understand Su Yingtong, it's just that considering that the identity of the fourth lady is not ordinary, it may not be a good thing to enter the palace.

As long as this Xie is good at talking, Su Yingtong is naturally good at talking, so she said: "Thank you Mrs. Chang for mentioning it, I will wait until the prince comes back to stay." ”

Mrs. Xie smiled, the prince is not in Kyoto, and Miss Su has no relatives, she reached out at this time, and the prince will receive this favor if he knows it, so let's see if the prince will fight against the saint for Miss Su, and then Miss Su will know how much weight she has in the prince's heart.

Xie Shi glanced at the room, this room was worse than the place where the people in their mansion lived, Miss Su could obviously live in the prince's courtyard or even the palace, but she insisted on living here, and she was rich and glorious in front of her, but she could be so indifferent, and she might not be able to do it.

"Why don't I send a few people from the house for the girl to call? It's also more convenient. ”

"Thank you Mrs. Chang for your kindness, and Manager Lin also said that he would match me with someone, but where do I need to serve when I live in an inn, so it's good."

Xie didn't insist, and asked Su Yingtong a few words before getting up and saying goodbye: "Although we and the palace are less moving, we are also relatives, Xiangyuan is not in Beijing, his business is our Changfu's business, the girl can send someone to Changfu to inform if there is anything, as long as we can help, we will do our best." ”

Su Yingtong said a word of thanks again, although she also guessed some of Xie's purpose, but Xie was not all out of the palace, seeing that she was also a lady who understood things and reasoned, and she really helped her, so she was not disgusted.

sent Xie away, and then Su Yingtong met with the wives of several ministers, all of whom were good talkers, Su Yingtong silently wrote down the names of these official wives, and asked Qingmei to take them to Manager Lin, and asked Manager Lin to help him fully understand the information of these ministers.

Showing favor to her now is to show favor to King Xiangyuan, and in the future, it will be the help of Gong Jingyu in the court, and she must maintain these relationships well.

It was inconvenient for Mr. Lin to come to the inn, so after a few days, he asked someone to send a thick book, which was full of the names of the ministers of the court and the central government, their official positions, whether they were warm with the prince, whether they walked around frequently on weekdays, and even the personnel status of each prefecture and the preferences of the housewife, etc., all of which were clear at a glance.

Su Yingtong is very satisfied, just looking at this list can write off the previous unhappiness with Mr. Lin, it seems that Mr. Lin is also a very sincere and capable person, as long as she does things well in the future, she will not hold grudges.

Su Yingtong carefully studied the complicated relationship between these officials for a few days, and Chinese New Year's Eve arrived.

She stood by the window and watched the people on the street not afraid of the cold wind of the cold night, talking and laughing on the street in groups of three or five carrying lanterns, looking at the small things in front of the stalls, or guessing riddles and playing games, which was very happy and lively.

Tomorrow is the new year, Gong Jingyu, you said that you would definitely come back to accompany me on Chinese New Year's Eve, how did you break your word.

I remembered that during the day, I heard Jiading say that the northern defense was severe, and there might be a danger of breaking the city...... Gong Jingyu, if you can come back safely, I won't care about these things, but you must come back unharmed.

Su Yingtong closed the window to isolate the bustle outside the window, blew out the candle and went to bed.

These days, she didn't feel anything waiting for Gong Jingyu to come back, thinking that he would come back on Chinese New Year's Eve at the latest, she had expectations, and now he has no news, the day of his return is far away, and she can't sleep when she lies alone in bed at night.

He used to hold her, and she got used to his arms.

Su Yingtong rolled over and forced himself to sleep.

In a daze, he heard a small sound outside the door, Su Yingtong woke up suddenly, and subconsciously touched the dagger under the pillow, and heard a low magnetic voice shouting: "Tong'er." (To be continued.) )
