Chapter 126: A Call for Help
Su Wanqing has been away from Nanling for five years, how Su Wanqing and Xiao Jiang get along in the meantime, Jiang Zhonghan and his wife are far away in Nanling, and they are not very clear.
However, Su Wanqing was unhappy for the little Jiang family to marry into the Taiwei Mansion, and they lived in Nanling for a year, and they all knew about it, so the two of them have been deliberately avoiding the big Jiang family, so as not to make Su Wanqing feel uncomfortable when she hears it.
Su Wanqing knew that He had good intentions, smiled at her, and shook her head to appease.
Seeing this, He Shi breathed a sigh of relief, and saw that Xiao Jiang was also smiling, and took a sip of tea.
However, the atmosphere was still a little strange, Su Wanqing thought about it, then changed the topic and asked about the Ling family.
The five-day appointment that the Ling family invited Xiao Jiang to be a guest the day before yesterday has passed, and when Xiao Jiang took Su Linlu to the appointment that day, everything went very smoothly, Xiao Jiang was comfortable in dealing with people, and Mrs. Ling was kind, the two were very speculative, and the two sides had the intention to make friends, and after getting along for a day, they actually had so many meanings of seeing each other and hating each other, so that in the end, even the politeness was waived, and they were commensurate with each other as sisters.
The elders are talking in one place, and the younger generations are not idle, Su Linlu and Ling Wanrong have been playing chess in the warm pavilion, this time they are accompanied by Ling Yunze, the second son of the Ling family who likes chess skills, and the three of them are also a good match together, fighting several times on the chessboard, and even the relationship between Su Linlu and Ling Wanrong is also familiar with a lot.
When Su Wanqing heard this, she was immediately relieved.
But when it comes to night. A person from the Taiwei Mansion made Su Wanqing's heart hang again.
At that time, Su Wanqing had dinner at the Taiwei Mansion and was about to leave for Yiwang Mansion. As soon as he said goodbye to everyone, he was escorted out of the side hall by Su Linlu, and saw the maid Xingchen beside Su Linlu walking over quickly and saluting the two.
Su Linlu didn't have the habit of coming and going with a maid on weekdays, but when he saw Xingchen at this moment, he raised his eyebrows with some confusion, "Why are you here?" ”
Xingchen raised his eyes and glanced at Su Wanqing. Hesitantly said: "Young master, the slave has something to tell." ”
Seeing this, Su Wanqing understood that she was not good to be present, and smiled. Said to Su Linlu: "Since my brother has something, you don't need to send me, there are no few steps, my brother is busy first." ”
Su Linlu looked at Xingchen's face. It feels like there's something urgent. After a little hesitation, he nodded and said, "Okay, then be careful on the road." As he spoke, he motioned to the maid on the side to hold the lamp for Su Wanqing and send her out.
Su Wanqing got into the carriage outside the Hanging Flower Gate, and when she walked to a side gate of the Taiwei Mansion, she happened to see a woman dressed as a maid standing outside the door through the car window, as if she was waiting for someone. There was a bit of obvious anxiety in his demeanor.
Because the sky was already dark, Su Wanqing couldn't see the maid's appearance and specific clothes clearly. It's just that I vaguely feel that it is slightly different from the maids of ordinary official eunuchs.
Su Wanqing had some doubts in her heart, and motioned to the coachman to park the carriage on the side of the road.
After a while, a man and a woman walked out of the door, and before Su Wanqing could see it clearly, she heard Bi Wu say: "Hey, isn't that the young master and the stars?" ”
Su Wanqing raised her eyes and saw that it was really the two of them, and her heart jumped.
The maid waiting outside the door saw Su Linlu appear, and hurriedly approached her, and she didn't know what to say to Su Linlu, and with the lantern in Xingchen's hand, it could be seen that she was very excited.
A thought suddenly popped into Su Wanqing's mind, frowned a little uneasily, and instructed the coachman to drive the carriage closer to them.
It doesn't matter if it's not close, this approach, the master and servant in the carriage are both shocked.
The maid standing next to Su Linlu was really dressed differently from ordinary maids, the style of the clothes and the style of the bun were obviously the maids of the Qinglou Red Pavilion!
Seeing this, Su Wanqing vaguely knew who this maid was here for, and the handkerchief in her hand couldn't help but tighten.
At this time, Su Linlu saw the carriage not far away, and asked in a loud voice, "Qing'er, aren't you going back to the palace?" Why are you still here? ”
Su Wanqing was stunned for a moment when she saw that she had been discovered, and then she reacted, she didn't hear the slightest ulterior meaning from Su Linlu's tone, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and let Bi Wu help her get out of the carriage.
Su Wanqing glanced at Su Linlu and said with a smile: "I just saw this maid standing outside the door, I don't know what she is here for, so I watched outside for a while, I didn't want to see my brother." ”
When the maid saw Su Wanqing, she glanced at Su Linlu a little nervously, Su Linlu nodded to her, and the maid settled down and knelt down to Su Wanqing, "The slave knows the dream, I have seen Concubine Su, Concubine Su is blessed." ”
Su Wanqing smiled when she saw this, "This maid knows a lot about our Taiwei Mansion, and even my identity is clear." Saying that, Su Wanqing raised her eyes to look at Su Linlu, and said with a smile: "Brother, isn't this Miss Qin Xiangyu's maid?" ”
Su Linlu is a person who is sparse and polite to the daughters of the eunuchs on weekdays, Su Wanqing rarely sees him get close to any woman, but if you pick one regardless of identity, it is this Qin Xiangyu.
This Qin Xiangyu is a Zheng Ji of Yiyun Pavilion, the guzheng plays very well, and the name is extremely loud in the capital, and Su Linlu is not only in the art of war and martial arts, but also quite good at music theory and chess skills, especially Xiao Yi, the two of them met a few years ago, because they are interested in music theory, they are very close, but Su Mu hates the playboy who does not do his job the most, and he has beaten Su Linlu a few times, and then it is rare to see Su Linlu and Qin Xiangyu coming and going.
Therefore, after Su Wanqing saw Zhimeng's dress, she first didn't believe her eyes, because she couldn't believe that Su Linlu would secretly keep in touch with Qin Xiangyu.
Su Linlu heard Su Wanqing say this, and couldn't hear the implied unkindness in her tone, but she just nodded, and she didn't see the embarrassment of being caught red-handed for doing bad things, "Yes, she is really Miss Qin Xiangyu's maid, she came over today, not as you think, she has something to do." ”
"Yes, Concubine Su, the slave maid has something to ask for Young Master Su." Zhimu raised his face, and there was a cry in his tone.
Su Wanqing looked at Zhimeng with some puzzlement and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"Back to Concubine Su's words, Young Master Liu, the eldest son of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, came to Yiyun Pavilion today and ordered my girl's brand, then Young Master Liu drank too much wine every time, and he liked to do something to my girl, last time, if it wasn't for Young Master Su arriving in time, my girl would have almost lost her reputation, and today I begged Young Master Su to go to the rescue again!"
