Chapter 272: Undercurrent

The next day, the sky was a little overcast, and it looked like it was going to rain.

Su Zhaoheng took Lin Wanwan's hand and tied a ribbon for herself, with a soft smile in her eyes: "If it is difficult for you, I will say home to my younger brothers and sisters when the ceremony is complete." ”

"Mrs. Hou has a good face, and she won't mess around at the banquet for her own daughter-in-law." The little girl didn't care, and put her hands behind him to straighten the knot.

Su Zhaoheng hugged her and gently bit her slender neck, receiving a coquettish cry and a knife in the eye.

"You can't be serious." There are also maids in the house who set the meal.

He just likes her non-threatening anger, and her voice is soft and glutinous, which is particularly seductive. Although Su Zhaoheng didn't want to let go, he still didn't have time to mess around, so he had to take her hand regretfully and sit down at the table for breakfast.

The two went out together, took a carriage first, and when they arrived at the alley where the Marquis of Wusu was located, Su Zhaoheng changed back to the place where he was used to going out, and went to the yamen of the military department.

When Lin Wanwan arrived at the flower hall, laughter was already heard inside, and the little maid opened the curtain for her.

Changping was talking and laughing with Xia in the house, Su Mengting, who was not seen yesterday, sat on the side with a wilted expression, and when she saw her coming, her eyes lit up, but she quickly lowered her head again, and Su Zhaoyu and Su Mengxin got up and shouted sister-in-law.

Lin Wanwan smiled in response, walked in front of Xia and saluted, and Changping also stood up and called her second sister-in-law.

"The third brother and sister have already shouted this second sister-in-law, and I can't hide this gift." As she spoke, she had already taken the mahogany gold-painted box from Xing'er and handed it to Changping.

Changping's face was slightly red and he thanked him, and at this time, Marquis Wusu came over and sat on the main seat with a big slash, and Lin Wanwan had to salute him again.

Marquis Wu Su looked at her with a smile and asked, "Heng'er has gone to the Yamen." ”

"Back to Father, yes. The military department has been busy recently, and I heard him say that Zuo Shilang left Beijing to investigate the case, and the military department is now short of people. ”

Wu Suhou also knew about the soldier freezing to death, and this matter did have a great impact, and there were more cats in it.

"Errands matter." He smiled and nodded, turned his head sideways and said to Xia Shi to start, and then didn't speak again.

Changping blushed and bowed to his relatives.

Marquis Wusu also handed her a thick red seal, and the Xia family gave her a set of dotted green heads and an envelope, which Lin Wanwan did not have.

She still had a smile on her face, the Xia family's differential treatment was normal in her eyes, but she remembered that the red envelope given to her by the Marquis of Wu Su was full of some grange shops and silver tickets, which should be his private property. It should be the same for Su Zhaoyu, which is enough to see that he treats Su Zhaoheng, the son of the old man, very kindly.

When Lin Wanwan got married, she handed over the sign to be able to enter the palace on the second day to thank her, but Su Zhaoyu and the county lord of Changping handed it to the day after returning to the door, and I heard that the queen mother was not feeling well.

Not to thank the palace for thanks, today's recognition banquet Xia invited the Su family and her mother's family, and the stage was arranged according to the day's excitement.

Although the Xia family is a descendant of the Rongguo Mansion, she is a three-room concubine who does not accept the title, not to mention that she did not know the severity of the matter of the former princess back then, but today the Duchess of the Kingdom has given her enough face for the sake of the county lord of Changping, and she intends to hold her more when she speaks. For this reason, Xia is still proud in his heart.

thinks that after she was reprimanded in the Guogong Mansion back then, even her mother was not very close to her, and now that her son has married the county lord as his wife, the people of the Guogong Mansion still want to save the relationship.

Xia smiled quietly and asked Duchess Rongguo to order a few more plays, and Duchess Rongguo took the play and said with a smile: "I ordered this Tianxian match, I think it is better to let the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law order it?" ”

Lin Wanwan was listening to Changping talk about the drama sideways, and hurriedly waved her hand when she heard the words: "I don't know how to order a play, if I don't let the third brother and sister come?" The third brother and sister just told me about the drama for a long time. ”

"Your aunt asked you to order it, Mrs. Chen is so good at listening to the drama, I remember that when Mrs. Chen was born the year before last, you babbled and sang a song to congratulate her on her birthday." Xia looked sideways at her, unable to smile at the bottom of his eyes.

This is not polite, alluding to Lin Wanwan's use of Qiao to give face to the Duchess of Burongguo.

The Duchess took back the hand that handed over the excerpt, and sure enough, her expression was not diminished.

Lin Wanwan didn't expect the Xia family to come to this hand, it was normal until just now, why did she dig a pit for her.

"After so long, my mother still remembers it, and she really wants to kill her daughter-in-law. My grandmother loves to listen to operas, but every time I sit on the side for a while and slip away, you don't know how long I practiced to sing the Eight Immortals He Shou, when the maids of the General's Mansion could hide from one side in the morning. I say that people are hanging their voices, but I am like hanging their lives. Lin Wanwan took the handkerchief to cover her mouth and smiled, she was really embarrassed like that.

Xia choked.

She still remembered that it had been so long, saying that she had done it on purpose! Although it was deliberate, it was really uncomfortable to be exposed, Xia gritted her teeth with hatred, and she forgot about Lin Wanwan's sharp teeth.

Duchess Rongguo glanced at Xia with a slightly meaningful gaze, Xia knew that she was partial to her little nephew, and almost made her blind, she really thought that the eldest nephew and daughter-in-law didn't take themselves seriously. According to the status of the eldest nephew now, his daughter-in-law's status is not low, that is, the title is a few levels lower than that of the county lord of Changping, but he can't stand up to a powerful mother's family. I really don't know what kind of brain Xia wants to pinch her eldest daughter-in-law like this.

Duchess Rongguo's mind turned around, and she smiled like a stream: "You are also filial piety, no wonder Mrs. Chen hurts you like eyeballs, it is me and I who want the treasure and can't let go." ”

Lin Wanwan laughed and praised the little grandson of Duchess Rongguo. The youngest grandson of the Duchess Rongguo had just passed the age of one, and he grabbed Zhou with a wooden sword in his left hand and an ancient book in his right hand. This is when it comes to the Duchess of Rongguo's heart, she laughs so much that even her wrinkles are exposed.

Seeing this, Xia Shi felt even more panicked, and scolded Lin Wanwan for being able to speak with a mouth, and the sycophants were also slippery. The county lord of Changping noticed that something was wrong with the Xia clan on the side, lowered his head and thought about what she had just said, understood everything, pursed his lips and did not speak.

After lunch, Xia continued to entertain the ladies enthusiastically, and even set up a card table in the open hall next to the stage, so that the ladies with this preference could touch a few laps and not be so boring as listening to the play.

Lin Guanwan played well, and she was not willing to listen to the play, so the Duchess of Rongguo had to pull her to join Changping. But Changping is inferior in this regard, and he can't shirk it, Lin Wanwan saw that she was so anxious that her face turned red, and she hurriedly solved the siege.

"It's a well-known fact that my aunt's cards are well played, or I'll make a piece with my three brothers and sisters, and then invite another lady to build one, so that we won't lose too ugly for a while."

"You look like a monkey spirit, you are thinking that two people are bullying me, it seems that I am going to go home empty-handed!" Duchess Rongguo glanced at her, meaning to let them get together.

Lin Wanwan and Changping said nice things again, and everyone sat down to open the cards.

However, after only two laps, Changping is really not very good, and Lin Wanwan is also clumsy, and the two have lost most of the golden nude in their hands. But a little maid came to give the second master over.

It is natural that Su Zhaoheng can be called the second master in Wusu Hou.

Duchess Rongguo and the other two ladies laughed and joked about Lin Guanwan, Lin Guanwan didn't even have a chance to blush, Su Zhaoheng had already strode here, and there was Su Zhaoyu by his side.

The two brothers are like jade trees, rich and handsome, which attracts the attention of all the ladies on the two of them, and the cousins here are also staring without blinking.

The brothers first greeted Xia, who was sitting on the edge of the stage, and then asked the elders to come to the open hall.

"Your brothers are really here, do you mean to support their concubines?" Duchess Rongguo smiled and accepted the salute of the two.

Su Zhaoheng saw at a glance that the golden beans next to the two of them were far worse than others, and couldn't help laughing: "Since my uncle said so, then my nephew can only support Wanwan." ”

Su Zhaoheng didn't like to laugh in the future, seeing that everyone was polite and distant, Duchess Rongguo felt flattered when she saw the smile on the corner of his eyebrows, and she was stunned before she snorted him. "I don't believe that you really dare to be a three-grade master!"

"Caiyi entertainment, what does this have to do with whether you dare or not." Su Zhaoheng was still smiling.

Duchess Rongguo was really amused by him, and she was also much closer to him.

In fact, as far as Su Zhaoheng is concerned, Duchess Rongguo is his maternal uncle, and his mother's former crown princess is the daughter of the long house.

In the end, naturally Su Zhaoheng did not end up, and the Duchess Rongguo and the other two ladies were also interesting people, and after playing the card at hand, they let go of the concubine. Who couldn't see that Su Zhaoheng was coming to pick up Lin Wanwan back.

After Su Zhaoheng and Lin Wanwan went to see the Marquis of Wusu again, they returned to the Marquis of Xuanping's mansion.

Lin Wanwan didn't mention the unpleasantness caused by the Xia family today, and only picked up the topic of getting along with the Duchess of Rongguo.

Su Zhaoheng leaned on the pillow and held her hand with his eyes closed, as if he could listen attentively.

The news from the Chen family turned out to be that there was another rumor in the south, which brought King Ning in. It is said that King Ning was dissatisfied with being left in Beijing, and some of his subordinates mixed into the queue to send armaments and replaced a batch of warm cotton clothes, intending to incite the army and the people to confront the imperial court.

Su Zhaoheng naturally wouldn't believe this kind of rumor full of loopholes, but he couldn't stand the people and some soldiers who didn't know the operation of the various departments of the imperial court to believe that King Ning's pot was set up in some people's hearts.

This matter is 100% inseparable from King Rui, and his hand is quite a headache.

If he wants to deal with King Ning, Su Zhaoheng will not interfere too much, for fear that the emperor will also have some kind of criticism because of this. If there is no person in Shaoling, it must be quite easy for the emperor to punish King Ning, but there is such a person, who knows what is arranged behind Shaoling, who is even more afraid of Cao Muzhi than Old Lady Lin.

King Ning didn't raise soldiers in Shu, and the ghosts wouldn't believe it.

If the emperor really handed over King Ning to the capital, the Shuzhong region would be reversed, and the imperial court would be anxious for a while, and the troops would be concentrated over there, how could this not be an excuse for the resentful King Rui? He could completely use the banner of King Ning to let his private soldiers rise up.

His soldiers have not found out which area they are hiding in so far, but one thing is certain, it is definitely not far from the capital, and there is a Luo family in the capital...... The Luo family's attitude really worried him.

Lin Wanwan looked at his frowning brows, and couldn't help but stop, only looking at him worriedly.

When Su Zhaoheng found out, she hadn't spoken for a while.

"What's wrong? My aunt invited you to the Guogong Mansion as a guest, and I will accompany you. He thought it was Lin Wanwan waiting for him to make a statement, but he thought that she had just said this.

Lin Wanwan smiled and held him with his backhand. "Then I made an appointment with my brother to go shopping the day after tomorrow, will you still go?"

The day after tomorrow, he wanted to find out the situation on King Ning's side.

Sensing his hesitation, Lin Wanwan didn't care and said: "You better don't go, my brother will see you unpleasantly on the way and embarrass you, it's not good for me to be caught in the middle." But how did you offend your brother, he always didn't mince words about you. ”

Lin Haoqi... He really didn't offend him, so he almost didn't confess to him.

"Maybe I thought I'd kidnap you." The folds between Su Zhaoheng's eyebrows disappeared, and he smiled helplessly. "I'll look for you when I'm done that day, it shouldn't be too long."

The little girl smiled brightly, and her eyebrows and eyes were crooked and cute. "Okay, then I'll ask Apricot to contact your guards."

Su Zhaoheng stared at her for a long time, and then grabbed the back of her head with his big palm and kissed her red lips.

The sudden enthusiasm made Lin Guanwan unable to even breathe, the whole person was soft and trembling in his arms, and when he got off the carriage, Lin Guanwan's rouge-free lips became more and more moist. (To be continued.) )
