Chapter 103: Hua's Mother's Mother's Family
Hearing that Su Wen came to pay New Year's greetings, the little guy in the Yongning Marquis Mansion did not dare to slack off in the slightest, and immediately opened up a road. In this way, Su Wen's carriage finally drove smoothly into the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Seeing that this carriage enjoyed the privilege, those in line were naturally indignant, so they asked who was sitting in the carriage? After learning that it was Su Wen, they were immediately relieved. Everyone knows that Su Wen is a guest of the Yongning Hou Mansion, and the treatment he enjoys is naturally different from that of others.
Seeing that Su Wen was invited in by the servants, Hong Qian immediately put down the chess pieces in his hand, looked up and smiled: "I talked about you just now, sure enough, this time has arrived, it seems that Mo Yi is quite accurate." ”
Hearing him say this, Su Wen immediately replied with a smile: "New year, new atmosphere, I didn't expect my senior brother to learn to tell hexagrams on the first day of the new year, it's really gratifying." When the senior brother is free, he must give Su Wen a calculation, see how his luck is this year, and if there is anything to pay attention to? ”
Hearing her ridicule, Mo Yi immediately put down the chess pieces in his hand, and pretended to be distressed and said, "Sir, you have seen everything." This little girl is usually so sharp and sharp-toothed, it makes others speechless. ”
Hearing his words similar to a complaint, Hong Qian couldn't help but let out a hearty laugh, and then teased: "If you can make your kid speechless, this can be regarded as a must in Yunzhou." What do you mean by that? Brine point tofu - one thing down one thing. Boy, this is your fate, don't think about it, let's accept it. ”
Hearing him say this, Mo Yi immediately showed a sad look, and his mouth was still chanting: "Mr. is eccentric." Mr. eccentric. With new students, forget about old students......"
Chattering, chattering, Mo Yi couldn't help but laugh at first. To be honest, he really couldn't help it, for fear of holding back internal injuries, so he gave up halfway. Seeing him laughing, Hong Qian pretended to glare at him majestically, and then laughed out loud with him, and laughed very heartily.
See the reaction of both of them. A smile tugged at the corner of Su Wen's mouth. She took the food box from Xing'er's hand. Carefully slammed it to the table to the side.
Su Wen stretched out his hand to open the food box, turned his head to Hong Qian and smiled: "Sir, didn't you say that you like to eat snacks made by Su Wen?" In order to please you, Suwen specially made some chic snacks. If you want to say how delicious it is, it doesn't necessarily matter. But surely you haven't tasted it before. ”
I've heard about dim sum. Mo Yi immediately got up and walked over. He asked curiously, "What kind of dim sum, is there any ice cream I like?" ”
Hearing him ask, Su Wen immediately replied with a smile: "Don't worry." This time, the types of dim sum are relatively complete, and of course ice cream is indispensable, but the amount is not too much. You can taste it this time, if you want to eat more, you can only wait for summer, this thing is not suitable for winter after all. ”
When I heard that there was ice cream, Mo Yi suddenly came to his senses. He had been obsessed with ice cream since he tasted it last time, and he didn't expect to be able to taste it again on the first day of the new year.
took the small bowl brought by the servant, and Su Wen served a bowl for Hong Qian first. She was about to serve a bowl for Mo Yi, but she saw the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion walk in from outside. Although she saw the butler come in, she didn't stop what she was doing, but continued to pour some ice cream into Mo Yi's bowl.
After saluting Mo Yi, the housekeeper replied respectfully: "Lord Shizi, there is a letter from the capital, Madame, please come over and read it together." ”
Reluctantly looking at the ice cream in the bowl, Mo Yi asked the housekeeper with a tangled face, "Is my mother in a hurry?" If you're not in a hurry, can you wait? Wait for me to take two bites of ice cream, and then I'll rush over immediately. I haven't eaten for too long, and my saliva is about to come out. ”
Hearing him say this, the butler showed a speechless expression. Faced with this situation, he obviously encountered it for the first time, so he didn't know how to react.
Seeing this scene, Su Wen immediately couldn't help but complain: "Don't worry, this ice cream is yours, and none of us will move it." Besides, now that the weather is so cold, are you still afraid that it won't melt? I guess when you come back, what will this ice cream look like now? ”
Hearing her words, Mo Yi suddenly felt enlightened. Yes, he almost forgot that ice cream is meant to be eaten on ice, and if you leave it in this weather, it won't make any difference to the taste.
After solving the problem of ice cream, Mo Yi immediately put aside the entanglement just now, and said to the housekeeper with a cynical attitude: "It's okay now, let's go to my mother's side." Don't be so slow, you can go faster, the master is still in a hurry to enjoy ice cream......"
Listening to their movement as they drifted away, Su Wen and Hong Qian looked at each other. They had known that he loved ice cream, but they had never expected it to be like this.
After coming back to his senses, Su Wen showed a helpless expression, and complained to Hong Qian with a pretended annoyed face: "It's not good to make dim sum that is too delicious, isn't this almost a mistake." It seems that after I go home this time, I will study how to make dim sum unpalatable, otherwise I will be guilty of a great sin in the future. ”
When she made this statement, Hong Qian had just taken a sip of water. There is no doubt that he squirted the water directly out of his temper on the spot. You can't blame him for not being determined, it's really Su Wen's remarks that are too lethal.
Seeing Hong Qian's reaction, Su Wen immediately rushed over to calm him down, patting him on the back while pretending to complain innocently: "Sir, you are so careless, you can choke on drinking water." Fortunately, it's fine, otherwise Su Wen would have been worried about death. ”
Hearing her really joking words, Hong Qian immediately said angrily: "Yes, when you want to tell jokes in the future, you can just say hello in advance, at least don't talk about it when I drink water, I really can't afford to toss this old bone." ”
Su Wen listened, smiled, and began to reach out to massage his shoulder, and after a while, he hesitated and asked, "Sir, you are from the capital." I heard a letter from the capital just now, and Su Wen just remembered something about the capital, and wanted to take the opportunity to ask for advice, I don't know if it is convenient for you to answer? ”
Hong Qian was enjoying with his eyes closed, and when he heard her ask, he immediately closed his eyes and replied: "Ask, as long as it is for the way of the teacher, and it does not involve the secrets of the court, you can ask casually." ”
After receiving his confirmation, Su Wen hesitated and asked, "Sir, you have lived in the capital for so many years, you must know it very well. What Su Wen wants to ask is, have you ever heard of a family with the surname Shangguan in the capital? If you guess correctly, this should also be the home of Zhong Ming Dingshi. ”
Asking this question, Su Wen stared intently at Hong Qian's reaction. If there is a slight abnormality in his reaction, it proves that there must be something wrong with the Shangguan family. In this way, Su Wen must immediately abandon the relationship between the Qing family and the Shangguan family, so as not to get into trouble.
For the Shangguan family, Su Wen has always been curious. Ever since she learned that Hua's mother was surnamed Shangguan, she had always wanted to hear about the relevant news. It's a pity that Yunzhou and the capital are thousands of miles apart, and the information that can be found is really limited. She secretly listened during this time, but she never gained anything.
Originally, she planned to ask Hong Qian, but she never dared to speak. She analyzed the various possibilities of the Shangguan family, but in the end she was taken aback by the results of the analysis.
Through Hua's mother's performance, she can basically determine that the Shangguan family belongs to the elite class in the capital. The question is, how can such a family allow their daughters to be left behind? The most likely reason for this fact is that the Shangguan family was convicted, and Hua Mu was a fish that slipped through the net.
In order to determine this possibility, Su Wen also deliberately paid attention to see if there was any record of the family with the surname Shangguan being raided for decades? Fortunately, she didn't find a similar record, and she couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief in her heart.
ruled out the possibility of Shangguan's family being convicted, and Su Wen rekindled the courage to ask Hong Qian. She was still thinking about looking for a suitable opportunity, but she didn't expect the opportunity to come so soon. It just so happened that the Marquis of Yongning received a letter from the capital, and she happened to be able to use this incident as an excuse and take the opportunity to throw out questions related to the Shangguan family.
Seeing that Hong Qian didn't have any abnormal reaction, Su Wen relieved himself. She was really worried that there was something wrong with the Shangguan family, and in the end she implicated the Hua family.
Listening to her question, Hong Qian thought about it seriously for a while, and then replied with his eyes closed: "I seem to remember that there is such a family of powerful people with the surname Shangguan. If the teacher is not mistaken, that should be the Dingbei Hou Mansion. Like the Marquis of Yongning, the Marquis of Dingbei is also a hereditary title, which has existed since the beginning of the dynasty. ”
Hearing this, Su Wen's hand couldn't help but be stunned. She knew that the origin of the Shangguan family was not simple, but she didn't know that the status was so prominent, and it was actually on par with the Yongning Marquis Mansion.
Feeling the movement in her hand pause, Hong Qian immediately asked with interest, "Girl, where did you know about the Shangguan family?" The Dingbei Hou Mansion has always been low-key, don't say that it is in Yunzhou, even if it is the capital, not many people can know that the surname of Dingbei Hou is Shangguan. ”
Su Wen listened and replied unhurriedly: "I heard from the patients who came to Anhetang for treatment, and I only felt curious at the time, so I kept it in my heart. ”
Huan Hai has been up and down for decades, and Hong Qian's experience is so rich, when I heard it, I knew that she didn't tell the truth. Although he didn't say it explicitly, his curiosity was indeed piqued. Since Su Wen could ask this question, he believed that she must have a close or distant relationship with the Dingbei Hou Mansion.
Seeing that Hong Qian didn't react, Su Wen knew that he couldn't hide the past, so he immediately confessed: "Sir, don't be angry, Su Wen didn't tell the truth just now. As for the specific reason, it is inconvenient to disclose it for the time being, please don't take it to heart. (To be continued......)
