Chapter VI: Meritorious Service for Guilt
Xu is because Su Wanqing is about to get married, Su Linlu pulled her to stay with Xiao Jiang for a long time, although she has been cold to Xiao Jiang for many years, and she has nothing to say for a while, but she has been listening to Xiao Jiang's advice to her to marry a wife.
By the time Su Wanqing returned to her courtyard, it was already close to noon.
Hongfu had also taken a turn from the house at this time, and probably figured out the situation, so she reported: "Miss, I have counted everywhere in the first half of the day, and I haven't found anything missing yet, and there are no clues on the guard's side." ”
Hearing this, Su Wanqing strengthened her guess, nodded, and ordered, "You go and call Su Zhao." ”
Su Zhao is an orphan taken in by the Jiang family in his early years, and he has been working as a guard in the Taiwei Mansion after learning some kung fu, and in the year of Nanling, Su Zhao has been responsible for protecting Su Wanqing's safety.
And at the moment, Su Zhao is already the commander of the guards of the Taiwei Mansion.
Su Wanqing, as the master who was frightened last night, it was normal for the commander of the guard to come and ask him personally, so Hongfu took the order and went down.
After a while, the cotton curtain separating the bright room from the outside of the house was lifted from the outside, and a clear and cold wind flowed in.
"Miss, Su Zhao has arrived." Hongfu entered and reported, and led in a man of twenty-five or sixteen years old, who was burly and tall in life, and was in the prime of life, walking step by step, looking extremely energetic.
Su Zhao looked at Su Wanqing's eyes with guilt, bowed two steps forward, leaned over, and said in a dignified manner: "Excuse the young lady for your guilt!" ”
Su Wanqing looked at him with a gentle expression, and her tone was very calm, "What happened last night?" ”
Su Zhao lowered his head and said shamelessly: "Xu is the mansion has been peaceful for a long time, and the few boys on duty have been a little lax, all of them are inappropriate in their humble duties, and they let the young people break into the mansion and collide with Miss, and ask Miss to confess." ”
Su Wanqing glanced at him, her expression was unclear, and she didn't answer his words, but asked, "Were the guards on duty last night punished?" ”
"Nope." Su Zhao was stunned, thinking that his own young lady was really angry this time, and his head couldn't help but be lowered, "It should have been punished severely, but I thought that they should be guilty and make meritorious contributions, so I sent them to track down the whereabouts of the thief, and now I haven't returned home." ”
Su Wanqing has some understanding of Su Zhao's style of acting, but she is not surprised, "How are they skilled?" ”
"The skills of being able to be a guard in our house will not be too bad, if it weren't for the thief Liang's kung fu, he would not be their opponent." Su Zhao carefully considered the words, thought about it, and said tentatively: "Dare to ask, doesn't Miss think they are incompetent and want to drive them out of the house?" ”
Su Wanqing was a little dumbfounded, and smiled: "Where do you want to go." With that, he waved his hand to let Hongfu and Biwu retreat.
Nowadays, the folk customs are more open, although there are also defenders who point fingers to promote Zhu Xi's doctrine, but it is always not a climate, and the attention to the defense of men and women is not as strict as in the past, so the two maids just glanced at each other and were ordered to withdraw from the door.
Su Wanqing smiled at Su Zhao and explained, "I came to you today because I have an extremely important matter, and I must arrange it for you personally." ”
When Su Zhao heard her say this, he immediately cheered up and replied without thinking: "But according to Miss's orders." ”
Su Wanqing beckoned, motioned for him to come forward with his ear, and then lowered her voice and explained to him in detail.
As time passed, Su Zhao's expression was still serious at first, but then turned to surprise, and gradually became a little weird.
"Miss......" Su Zhao finally couldn't help but raise her eyes after Su Wanqing finished speaking.
Su Wanqing saw that he was indigestible for a while, so she smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Just follow your wishes, give them a chance to make meritorious contributions, let them rest early tonight, and the punishment will be exempted first. ”
Su Zhao smiled bitterly twice, confirming that the words that Fang had just heard in his ears were indeed not his master who was teasing himself, and immediately nodded his head like pounding garlic: "I understand my humble duties." ”
The second day was not long in coming.
The weather was not bad on this day, the winter air was a little cold, and the white sun shone on the frozen river, reflecting the clear light.
A team dressed in red and green is crossing the stone bridge across the river, blowing and blowing, and it is very lively.
Speaking of which, this marriage has some topicality among the people. When the imperial prince and the prince of the heavenly family became in-laws, it could also be called an enviable story, but there was no shortage of unmarried princes in Emperor Zhongzheng, why did he point out Su Taiweixin's only concubine to King Yi as a side concubine, which is really unpredictable.
All of a sudden, Taiwei selfishly clinged to King Yi and intended to marry his children; King Yi moved his heart, and the above statement of asking for marriage and forced marriage was passed on by the people; even bluntly said that the Su family has been in love with King Yi for many years, and there is no shortage of people who insist on marrying.
At the moment, the fifth prince Su Yuanyi rode his horse to the front, his deep and three-dimensional face showed a little warmth under the reflection of the wedding clothes, and the golden green white jade saddle lined his tall and proud figure, heroic and handsome, like an excellent scenery in Kyoto City, but his eyebrows and eyes were as cold and deep as nature, and the quality that rejected people thousands of miles away still made people dare not force their eyes.
Behind him was the half-royal guard of honor appointed by Emperor Zhongzheng, and Su Fu gave two relatives one set, and two sets and one box of makeup were at the end of the line.
In the camphor wood sedan chair with vermilion lacquer and scarlet clothes, Su Wanqing closed her eyes slightly, her face was calm like water, and there was no trace of emotion.
Hongfu, who was following outside, glanced at the curtain of the sedan chair from time to time, thinking about the seemingly nonexistent changes of her young lady in the past two days, and there was a hidden worry in her expression.
Bi Wu was used to Su Wanqing's horse head, and didn't think there was anything wrong, Quan Danghong was thoughtful, shook his head disapprovingly, and simply put aside his eyes and looked around.
On both sides of the street, the people who stopped to watch the ceremony could not see the end, and some people even deliberately joined in the excitement to see the pomp and circumstance of the Taiwei marrying his daughter. And the scene in front of them did not disappoint them, in order to make up for Su Wanqing more, Su Taiwei and the Jiang family prepared a lot more makeup than other court officials to marry daughters.
Biwu felt the envious gaze of everyone, and straightened her back proudly.
At this time, she didn't expect that the road would not be smooth.
Although Biwu was walking in the family sending team for the first time, she had seen it several times, and she never knew what danger there would be when she became a parent. But the next second, when she inadvertently felt that something was shaking her eyes, she noticed something strange.
