Chapter 421: Ancestor
Knowing the origin of Hua's mother and the Dingbei Hou Mansion, Su Wen finally solved a mystery in his heart. She knew that Hua Mu actually hoped to restore relations with the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but this matter could only be discussed in the long run.
Unlike ordinary families, the Dingbei Marquis Mansion has heavy troops and has always been a close minister of the emperor. The problem is that Su Wen now belongs to the prince's faction, and if he gets too close to the Dingbei Hou Mansion, he is afraid that the emperor will be suspicious. In that case, they might as well keep their relationship hidden and wait until the crown prince ascends the throne in the future.
Despite this thought in his heart, Su Wen did not immediately express his position. Although she has lived two lives, she is still a rookie in terms of political experience, and it is better to ask Hong Qian's opinion for safety.
After talking so much, Hua Mu was also a little tired, and when she saw this, she and Yunzhi left first. The two of them had been busy for so long, and they both felt tired, so they went back to their rooms to rest. Anyway, there is time, they are not in a hurry at this time, and if there is anything they haven't said, they can leave it for the future to explain slowly.
After a day of rest, Su Wen went to Hongfu early the next morning. She was worried about the affairs of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, and wanted to ask Hong Qian for advice, so she came very early.
Hearing about the situation Su Wen encountered, a flash of understanding flashed in Hong Qian's eyes, but then he returned to his usual indifference. He had long known that Su Wen had a relationship with the Dingbei Hou Mansion, but he never expected it to be so tortuous. Decades have passed, so it's no wonder that he has investigated three times before but found nothing.
After thinking about it for a while, Hong Qian replied with a serious face: "Since there is such a reason, why do you deliberately hide it? Your Majesty's hands and eyes are open to the sky. Maybe I have long understood the relationship between the two of you, but I haven't said anything to break it. ”
After listening to Hong Qian's analysis, Su Wen suddenly had a feeling of enlightenment. She had only been entangled in the risks that would be brought by the two sides walking in, but she had forgotten that concealing the truth also contained risks. For an emperor, the severity of concealment is obviously more unpleasant than the threat of confiding the truth.
Moreover, once the relationship between the two sides is discovered, the emperor will only become more suspicious. At that point, concealment will also become evidence of aggravating culpability.
With all of the above in mind, the best option at the moment is to be straightforward. There is indeed an in-law relationship between the two of them, which is the result of the previous generation. Nothing is disgraceful. As for the influence on the prince's side. One thing they should pay attention to when they interact is to put the communication between the two sides on the table as much as possible.
With Hong Qian's guidance, Su Wen made the decision to make his relationship with the Dingbei Hou Mansion public. Considering the factors of the Bai family, she decided to make two sets of arguments about the relationship between the two parties.
After some discussion. Su Wen's idea was finally recognized by the Dingbei Hou Mansion. They concocted two sets of rhetoric. The fake one is used to send outsiders. The real one is for the emperor. The disturbance they made at the beginning was not small, and I believe that the emperor must have some information now, but he didn't understand it thoroughly.
After the decision is made. Dingbei Hou took the initiative to make an excerpt, explained the original situation with Hua's mother 1510, and attached the last words of the previous generation of Dingbei Hou.
After receiving the excerpt, the emperor did not say anything on his face, but he was extremely satisfied in his heart. As Hong Qian expected, he actually knew about the relationship between the Dingbei Hou Mansion and Su Wen for a long time, but he never said anything. Now that they can take the initiative to confess, he is relieved, which at least shows that Dingbei Hou knows who is the master of the world.
After pressing the fold for two days, the emperor made an approval. He didn't mention anything else, just said that relatives should move around when they should move around, and there was no need to worry too much.
After receiving the reply, Dingbei Hou was overjoyed. He knew that the emperor's instructions meant that he agreed, which made the movement of both of them considered to be permitted. It's not easy to be a courtier these days, and you have to be careful to even recognize a relative. If they get too close, they have to worry about whether the monarch will be suspicious, and there is really a feeling of walking on thin ice.
After getting the permission to recognize relatives, the Dingbei Hou Mansion took the initiative to release the news that he would recognize his relatives with Princess Anhe's Mansion. Anyway, Hua's mother has always used the surname Shangguan, and they just used it to fake the relationship between the two parties, and no ordinary outsider would be suspicious.
As soon as the news came out, the public opinion field in the capital was in an uproar, and no one would have thought that the Dingbei Hou Mansion, which had always been low-key, would have a kinship with Su Wen. You can't blame the people of the capital for making a fuss, but it seems that there is no connection between these two groups of people. The wealthy families in the capital and the female households in Yunzhou, these two don't seem to be connected.
In order to hide people's eyes, the Dingbei Hou Mansion declared that Hua's mother was their cousin. Whether others believe it or not, they just say it anyway and don't care what others think.
Hearing such news, it is natural that there will be good deeds who go to Suwen for verification. She had already discussed it with the Dingbei Hou Mansion, so she happily admitted the kinship between the two parties. According to the results of the prior discussion, she also pointed out that Hua's mother was a distant cousin of Dingbei Hou, which further confirmed the relationship between the two parties.
There is evidence from Su Qian, but the matter of kinship between the two families is finally clear. While everyone was amazed, they couldn't help but feel envious, jealous and hateful in their hearts.
These two are so high-profile, and the Bai family naturally received the news. They secretly sent someone to see Su Wen's appearance, and immediately linked her with Hua's mother back then. Combined with the extremely enthusiastic attitude of the Dingbei Hou Mansion, there is something that the Bai family does not understand. There is no doubt that Hua's mother is the eldest lady who mysteriously disappeared in their family back then.
Time has passed, and the Bai family has long been different from what it used to be under the suppression of the Dingbei Hou Mansion. Although they still bear the name of a family, they have been reduced to the last family, and they are almost forgotten by the people of the capital.
Just when they were looking for an opportunity to make a comeback, the Dingbei Hou Mansion and the Princess Mansion came out like this. They knew the identity of Hua's mother, so they naturally hit Su Wen's body with their ideas. In their opinion, since Hua's mother has the blood of the Bai family flowing in her body, she has the obligation to help the Bai family and help them find an official position next to the prince.
I have to say that the Bai family is too naïve. They just thought about what kind of benefits they could get from Hua's mother, but they never reflected on how they treated her in the first place.
With a vision for the future, the Bai family sent the son of the head of the family out and went directly to the princess's mansion to ask for Su Wen. The current head of the Bai family is Hua's mother's cousin, and his son is a generation higher than Su Wen. Send an elder to ask to see a junior, they feel that they have done their best to be benevolent and righteous, and the princess's mansion naturally can't help but give face.
Unfortunately, there is always a big gap between imagination and reality. The representative they sent didn't see Su Wen at all, and was directly blasted out by the guards guarding the door.
Feeling that his family was despised, how could the Bai family endure this. They advertised the identity of the daughter of the Bai family everywhere, in an attempt to put the princess's mansion and the Dingbei Hou Mansion in an embarrassing predicament. I never thought that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes. At first, some people listened to what they said, but soon no one paid any attention to their.
Why is this happening? It turned out that all this was Su Wen's handiwork. She had already anticipated the possible reaction of the Bai family before, so she had already made a plan to deal with their move.
As soon as he noticed that the Bai family began to spread unfavorable remarks against Hua's mother, Su Wen immediately put the plan into practice. She didn't do anything else, she just broke the news about her origin in the Hua family. Unexpectedly, this move was extremely effective, attracting the attention of almost everyone in the capital at once, and instantly suppressed the Bai family's remarks.
While telling Su Wen about his life experience, Hua's mother also told the history of the Hua family. Although some time has passed, Su Wen still clearly remembers her expression when she mentioned the long inheritance of the Hua family.
From Hua's mother's mouth, Su Wen knew the origin of the Hua family. Similar to some families, the Hua family also has a long heritage, dating back to the Three Kingdoms period. Just because it has a long history, other families are not many years shorter than the Hua family, and the most important thing is that the Hua family has a famous ancestor - Hua Tuo.
As the most famous miracle doctor during the Three Kingdoms period, Hua Tuo has long since become a legend. In the hearts of thousands of people, he is almost omnipotent, and any illness can be cured by him.
After wearing this world for so long, he asked about the status of Hua Tuo, the way of nature. Because there was also a legend of Hua Tuo in that world, she didn't take it too seriously, and just thought it was a coincidence. never thought that the body she was wearing turned out to be Hua Tuo's descendant, which was incredible.
After digesting it for a long time, Su Wen accepted this reality. It wasn't until now that she understood why Old Lady Hua had so many secret recipes, even the long-lost hemp boiling powder.
As a descendant of Hua Tuo, inheriting some secret recipes is too commonplace, and there is no need to make a fuss at all. This is like many folk arts, which are passed down from generation to generation in the family. Of course, with the influence of modern thought, Su Wen does not agree with this way of inheritance, but it is true.
Knowing the origin of the Hua family, Su Wen thought of the emperor's attitude towards her at that time. There is no doubt that she was allowed to treat the Queen Mother without hesitation, and there must be factors of Hua Tuo's descendants.
After thinking about the reason, Su Wen immediately realized that this secret would be revealed to the world sooner or later. Since the Hua family will return to everyone's sight sooner or later, she naturally wants to take this opportunity into her own hands. took the initiative to leak the true background of the Hua family, which became a problem that she was concentrating on.
After thinking about it for a while, she came up with the idea of suppressing the Bai family with the news of the return of the Hua family. (To be continued......)
