229 A noble girl
"Su Qi, whether it is the comfortable Cen Zhou in the south, the small city of Xicheng on the border of Dayue, or the Nanban, Beiyi, and Xuanwu in the Middle-earth Continent, as long as the father does not let go of your mother for a day, as long as the father still thinks about the general's wife for a day, your current escape is meaningless!"
"Su Qi, the bell must be tied to the bell, and the old case of the Huo family back then must be thoroughly investigated, I need a truth, an answer, and an innocence, and you also need it!"
"Su Qi, can you still agree?"
These words, like the scars on the charcoal fire, swirled in Su Qi's ears all the time, Xuanwu Yicheng and Qi Ling obviously already knew about it, Qi Ling said, think about it carefully, the imperial capital is still good, at least there is Xuanwu Yicheng and her Qiling County Lord, and there are familiar people who can help. Xuanwu Yicheng would come to her every day to sit, chat or drink, but he never mentioned half of the matter of going to Xuanwu together.
The plague in Xicheng has almost dissipated, there has not been a single case of infected patients in half a month, the number of people in the pending pavilion is decreasing day by day, the patient Curie has been empty, Su Qi taught the poison needle therapy to the local doctor without reservation, and the antidote to snake venom together, the legend of the miracle doctor in Xicheng has not known how many versions have been sung, Su Qi smiled every time he listened to Banxiang's happy words.
The so-called miracle doctor, she has never been serious.
Chu Qing walked in, and she said, "Prince Murong Qin is going to pull out the camp and return to the imperial capital the day after tomorrow." ”
"Hmm." Su Qi responded casually and continued to make the poison needle in his hand.
"The second master of the Su family is already safe on his legs, and the queen mother has sent someone to pick up Mrs. Su and the two ladies back to the imperial capital. The wedding of the fourth lady of the Su family and His Royal Highness King Xuan is imminent, and the queen mother has set the day of the tenth day of October. ”
"I have already returned to Murong Qin's son, and the lady will return to the imperial capital together!"
When the words fell, Su Qi raised her head, she looked at Chu Qing carefully, but in the end she breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's okay, sooner or later, you and Banxiang go to pack your luggage together." Su Qi closed his eyes and leaned on the soft couch.
Chu Qing went out softly.
By the time Su Qi opened his eyes again, Murong Qin was already standing in the room.
He just looked at Su Qi like that. That kind of look. There is relief, joy, helplessness, and sadness......
Su Qi looked at that look. Nothing to say for a while.
Nearly a month's worth of trips. Finally arrived at the imperial capital.
Su Qi originally thought about going back to the General's Mansion to take a good bath. Change into light clothes, and then lie down on the fragrant soft tooth bed in your boudoir and sleep beautifully, however. It's all utopian.
"Why do we have to enter the palace before we go back to the General's Mansion to see Mrs. Su?" Banxiang whined quietly.
Just now came the message of the old emperor Rende, and immediately after entering the city, he entered the palace to receive the reward.
Chu Qing glanced at Banxiang and said to Su Qi: "Lady, close your eyes and rest, there are still many things to do when you enter the palace." ”
Banxiang hurriedly handed over the thin blanket.
Su Qi smiled, snuggled up on the couch and closed his eyes.
If it comes to what Su Qi hates most in ancient society, before she goes out, she may say that there is no electricity, no Internet, and no TV series to watch, but now she just wants to complain about this damn means of transportation.
Banxiang also gave an example to comfort her, how good the carriage we are riding in is now, but Su Qi just wants to cry.
It's just that from Xicheng to the imperial capital, according to the modern distance estimate, I'm afraid it's not as far as the distance from the south of the Great Hunan to the capital, but it's ...... They've been gone for almost a month!
Although it is a good carriage along the way, it is still bumpy and bumpy, saying that it is an official road, but the post station is one in the east and one in the west, several times Su Qi and they are resting on the carriage, the weather is sunny and good, if it encounters wind and rain, Su Qi is disturbed and can't sleep all night, and the dark circles under his eyes are already very scary within two days on the road.
Su Qi thought later, I don't know what happened when I came, Xu is bent on how to cure the plague, Xu is worried about the tens of thousands of people in Xicheng, Xu is to comfort the heartbroken Qi Ling along the way, and it is possible that she finally escaped from the imperial capital, anyway, she was not tortured by the hardships of the journey.
When you arrive in the imperial capital, do you want to enter the palace?
Su Qi said a few words viciously in his heart, turned over, chose a comfortable position, and then closed his eyes to recuperate.
Unexpectedly, Emperor Rende summoned them not in the harem or in the imperial study, but in the main hall of Rende, and all civil and military officials were present.
It's close to noon, and I don't know if it's because today's morning dynasty has been going up until now, or if Emperor Rende is doing it on purpose.
During the whole process, Su Qi was drowsy, so she didn't hear what kind of praise those imperial historians had said, and it wasn't until the reward began that Su Qifang cheered up.
She had to be ready to refuse the marriage reward of Emperor Rende at any time, yes, at any time, along the way, since she knew that she had to enter the palace to receive the reward, she had already thought of the words of refusal, and if necessary, she had to cry and beg the Queen Mother.
Su Qi glanced at the curtain on the left side of the throne, very good, the old man of the Queen Mother really did not disappoint her.
Su Qi's heart was a little calmer.
"Murong Qin is the third son of the emperor of me, this plague is self-explanatory, and he has made great contributions to the management of the plague, and he is specially given the title of King of Qin, and a palace of the King of Qin, which is admired."
Su Qi's heart was happy, and then it was sour.
Murong Qin is already nineteen years old, and at this age there is only him in the Dayue Kingdom who has not been crowned king, I thought that when he returned to the imperial capital, the old emperor Rende would implement the title and the affairs of the palace, but I didn't expect that the old emperor was thinking about how to get close to her Su Qi all day long, and he never thought that he still had such a son, if it weren't for the plague, Murong Qin himself recommended him to come forward, if it weren't for the hundreds of officials in the court who heard the plague and were scared half to death, if it weren't for the fact that Emperor Rende urgently needed a member of the imperial family to appease Mingxin, I was afraid that the current reward would not be Murong Qin's turn.
Su Qi remembered what Shao Gong had said on the way back.
"This time to deal with the plague, it was Murong Qin's own idea, that day as soon as he got the news of the plague in Xicheng that killed and injured countless people, Murong Qin's son invited His Majesty, and at the same time strongly recommended the lady to go with him, I didn't know that I thought that the son was not afraid of death. But the old slave knew in his heart that Murong Qingongzi had been weak and sickly since he was a child, and his body and bones were much weaker than ordinary people...... Leaving the imperial capital and running into the plague pile, he didn't care about how bad his body was, and he didn't think about what would happen if he contracted the plague. ”
Before leaving, the old slave couldn't help but ask, if this time is a road of no return, has the son ever thought about it?"
Childe stood still for a long time, and then said: I ...... Believe in Ah Qi! ”
At that moment, Su Qi's heart swelled sourly. I can't tell you what it's like.
"The seventh lady of the Su family. The seventh lady of the Su family, still don't receive the order to thank you? ”
Bi Fuquan raised his throat sharply, squinted with a smile, and raised his voice again.
Time. The eyes of everyone in the hall were focused on Su Qi.
Su Qi looked up blankly. At a glance, he saw Qi Ling, who was standing beside the Queen Mother, smiled and nodded. Su Qi hurriedly knelt down and said in a loud voice: "The little girl Su Muli bowed to thank Your Majesty Longen. ”
As soon as I got out of the palace gate, I got into the carriage. Su Qi couldn't wait to open the holy decree.
Fang Cai has been unstable in her heart since she received the decree of thanksgiving, although she saw Qi Ling's comforting expression at that time, but she still didn't feel at ease, because she didn't know what reward the old emperor Rende had given her!
"Oh, it's a noble girl, and there is also a title, but how is this title a number,...... Seven? Seven noble girls? Why did the emperor's uncle take such a title? Qi Ling took the holy decree and looked left and right, and kept chanting.
Mu Jiu Niangzi, who came to congratulate her, hurriedly explained: "The Dayue noble girl is the highest honor for all the unmarried ladies of the Dayue Kingdom, divided into three classes, the third-class noble girl can be awarded ten times a year, and the second-class noble girl can only be awarded four times a year, and this kind of noble girl, but no one has won this honor for several years, the last time I remember was the Qiling County Lord when he was ten years old when His Majesty Rende rewarded it." ”
Su Qi became interested and asked, "Qi Ling, what is your title?" ”
"Ling, the imperial uncle said that I was very spiritual at a young age, and it happened that there was also a word "spirit" in the title of the county lord, and the imperial grandmother also said that the word "spirit" was my mother's favorite word during her lifetime, and it was used as my noble daughter's title. "Qiling County is the main road.
"Hmm...... Lady? Su Qi said playfully.
"Ah, Su Qi, don't laugh at me!" Qi Ling shouted, thought about it violently, and said playfully: "Seven noble girls...... Seven Noble Ladies ......"
Mu Jiu laughed out loud at Jinpa, and Banxiang couldn't straighten up with a smile, even if it was Chu Qing, the corners of his mouth rose.
So, when the three ladies and the four ladies of the Su family came in, there was laughter and laughter in the Linyu Pavilion.
Su Siniang's heart sank, less than a month was her wedding day, but her grandmother didn't seem to be happy at all, when Su Qi was still in Xicheng, she was talking about Su Qi in front of them every day, even if her father broke her leg, her grandmother didn't see the slightest anxiety and distress, and now this Su Qi is finally back, and grandmother only has this Su Qi in her heart, in order to be able to see Su Qi for the first time, in order to be able to go to the city gate to greet Su Qi when Su Qi returns to the imperial capital, The grandmother insisted that the official ship sent by the Queen Mother to meet them be twice as fast.
Su Siniang felt depressed when she thought about it, and the Queen Mother sent someone to greet her, but it was because the fourth lady of the Su family was going to marry King Xuan soon, so she could get this honor, but now she was nagging by her grandmother every day, and even the people in the house thought that she was blessed by Su Qi.
Now that the noble daughter who has been sealed a product, not to mention her grandmother, even her own mother has repeatedly explained to her, she has to get along with this seventh sister and say more good things, Su Siniang is even more impatient.
is also the wife of the Su family, and she is also a descendant, but Su Qi has a father with a good reputation, so she wants to be a sister to let her always let her and let her not say anything, and now she has to flatter her all the time, thinking of this Su Siniang is heart is anger straight up.
She remembered the past, it was still the days when Su Qi did not return to the general's mansion, Su Sanniang was arrogant and willful at that time, and she was not seen to greet her grandmother for five days out of ten, Su Wuniang was a timid and afraid of things, seeing that her grandmother was a trembling little daughter-in-law, even if she was the eldest of the Su family, her grandmother was also quite a little whispering, only she - Su Siniang, this first-class Duchess of the country has not only never been scolded and scolded, but has always been with her since she was big and small, although the qin, chess, calligraphy and painting were not taught by her old man personally, But she never forgot to ask her about her knowledge all the time, and during the New Year's holidays, only she Su Siniang could always stand by the side of the Duchess of the country, and greet the official wives of Cen Zhou together. received the greetings of other relatives of the Su family together, and her grandmother also praised her Su Siniang for being well-behaved and sensible, but ...... Now......
Since this Su Qiniang returned to the General's Mansion, since she became the only daughter of the third room, how can her grandmother still have her Su Siniang's place in her heart?
Her mother asked her privately if her grandmother had told her about the dowry, Su Siniang shook her head, and her mother asked her again if her grandmother had taken out her old man's jewelry for her to help her take a look. Su Siniang still shook her head. The mother did not give up, and then asked if the grandmother had ever talked about the property of the General's Mansion, the shops and boats in Cenzhou. Su Siniang thought about it and finally shook her head.
This time. It's not just the mother who is in a hurry. My father, who is still recuperating, is also very anxious. Father said that in this way, I am afraid that my grandmother did not take their second room to heart. Mother said. Grandmother had saved a lot of dowry for her, saying that there were jewelry, shop silver, and now it seems that it is only afraid that it will be all left to Su Qi Niang, and her mother said that without the funding of the General's Mansion, even if they are bankrupt in the second room, they can't make up a dowry of one hundred and twenty-four lifts for her.
Su Siniang listened to it, and only then did she know the seriousness of the matter.
Yes, she was thinking about when to open this mouth.
Sending Mu Jiu and the county lord of Qiling away, Su Siniang followed Su Qi into the inner room.
Su Sanniang and Banxiang went to see off the guests, and only Chu Qing stayed by Su Qi's side.
Su Siniang plucked up her courage and said, "Seventh sister, fourth sister has something I want to talk to you about." ”
As she spoke, Su Siniang glanced at Chu Qing.
Su Qi bowed his head, Chu Qing retreated, and closed the door of the black lacquer gold silk nan wood carving.
"I haven't seen her for many days, but the fourth sister has become more and more flexible." Su Qi pulled Su Siniang to sit down.
This is the sister who is about to marry Xuanwu Yicheng as a side concubine, although Su Qi was very ashamed of Su Siniang's behavior that day, but her grandmother said that after all, they are both sisters, not to mention that this sister has not been at home for a long time, so Su Qi is just talking to her grandmother in private.
"Seventh sister, you have been in Xicheng to deal with the plague these days, you don't know how worried the fourth sister is about you, every day to the Buddha hall for you to chant and chant Buddha, every day to pray that the Bodhisattva can bless you for the sake of my Su Siniang's piety, originally my father was sick I should spend more time with him, but as soon as the fourth sister sat down, her mind was full of thoughts of the seventh sister, fortunately, the seventh sister, you finally returned safely, and it was not in vain that I made a wish in front of the Bodhisattva these days......"
chattered, and in the end, his eyes were red.
Su Qi looked at it, but he didn't have the slightest emotion to be moved, because he was worried about his grandmother, because Su Qi let Chu Qing keep in touch with Granny Chensu at all times, according to the multiple eyeliners placed by Granny Chensu in the second room, Su Siniang lived a very comfortable life during the time she returned to Cenzhou, and she was completely a happy appearance to be married, except for rarely going out of the house, she discussed clothes and jewelry with Mrs. in the second room almost every day, and asked about her grandmother's dowry several times implicitly.
Now he is so sincere, and he is so good!
"Fourth sister, you might as well say it directly, I'm a little tired." Su Qi interrupted Su Siniang's words and asked directly.
Su Siniang was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I'...... I'm going to get married, I'm married to His Royal Highness King Xuan, I heard Mu Jiu Niangzi say that the rules of the imperial capital, marrying to the royal family has to have at least one hundred and twenty-four dowry, my sister only went home I don't know, although our second room has been busy all these years, but we are all in the general's shop business, the silver is obtained from the public, and there has never been anything coveted in private, it is to my father and mother said that one hundred and twenty-four dowry and two rooms can't make up......"
After speaking, Su Siniang lowered her head.
This is the first time, the first time she asks others for things so openly, and she is like a Su Qi Niang she has never disliked, if it weren't for her father and mother's repeated explanations, if it weren't for the fact that her big wedding was about to have half a shadow of the dowry, how could Su Siniang open such a mouth.
"How much dowry does the fourth sister need to prepare?" Su Qi asked directly.
If it's just a matter of money, it's easy, the general's mansion marries a girl, no matter who you marry to, you can't suffer them.
It's just that Su Siniang didn't open her mouth to her grandmother but started her Su Qi's idea, which seems to be a bad one.
It's just that now Su Qi is too lazy to care about these twists and turns, she returned to the imperial capital, sealed the noble daughter, and promised Murong Qin to thoroughly investigate the old cases of the year, because she had no time to take care of other things.
"It's not ...... Half the difference. Su Siniang's weak mosquito-like voice.
"Okay, don't worry about this matter, just hand it over to Qi Niang, I will discuss with my grandmother tomorrow and let the fourth sister marry beautifully."
"Qi Niang is tired from the journey, and I want to rest first, so the fourth sister will please."
After speaking, Su Qi directly climbed onto the gum and put down the curtain of the flowery pear moon shadow veil.
Su Siniang blushed, secretly gritted her teeth and quietly retreated. (To be continued.) )
