Chapter 246, the second day of the first month
Ji Wuwu whispered to Xia Yun about what happened in the Empress Dowager's palace just now, Xia Yun covered her mouth and secretly had fun, since she knew Su Xizhu, Su Xizhu had never lost in her tongue.
Back then, Su Xizhu was just a lonely lady in the third room of the Hou Mansion, and no one dared to provoke her, let alone that she was now the wife of the prince of Dingguo, and she would be sorry for herself if she didn't kill the Quartet.
Su Xizhu slept for nearly half an hour, and someone came outside to say that the dinner was about to start, Xia Yun left his henchmen to take care of the two children, Su Xizhu tidied up and went out with Xia Yunji worry-free, and fell asleep for a while, Su Xizhu felt much better, and when he arrived at the banquet hall, Han Zhan looked at Su Xizhu, who was still in good spirits, and finally put his mind at ease.
Su Xizhu only saw the Jiang family at this time, after all, the Jiang family had a lower status so he did not appear in the queen mother and the queen, Su Xizhu smiled at the Jiang family and said that he was very good, because it was far away, and the Jiang family did not find that Su Xizhu was wrong.
Although the Hou Mansion of Annan has been separated, at this time, the people in the three rooms still have to sit together, even if they have different thoughts, they still have to smile.
Han Zhan secretly took Su Xizhu's hand, touched her palm, and found that the temperature was lower than in the morning, and the smile on his face was much more real.
Zhong Lishu looked at Su Xizhu who was dressed up and was a little reluctant to look away, but when he found that Han Zhan's gaze was also turned around, he still clenched his fists and turned his head unnaturally.
Princess Minglan watched from the side and sneered in her heart, Emperor Sheng He was very happy this year, after everyone sang praises to him, Emperor Sheng He also encouraged everyone and praised many people, by the way, he was cheering for those who were going to participate in the Three Kingdoms Exchange Conference, and the New Year's banquet ended in laughter.
Su Xizhu fell into a deep sleep in the carriage, and was carried back to the Liuli Bureau by Han Zhan, and he also helped Su Xizhu wash, and when Su Xizhu woke up the next day, his spirit was much better.
"Drink the medicine first, although the fever is reduced, but the medicine still needs to be drunk for a few more days." Today is the time for Su Xizhu to return to her parents' house, so Han Zhan was originally a little worried about Su Xizhu, but now that she is completely out of heat, she finally completely relieved.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, when they returned to their parents' house, Su Xizhu and Han Zhan went to the Su Mansion where Su Che's family was located first, and Jiang was very happy to see that his daughter was in good spirits.
Because what happened on Chinese New Year's Eve was very late, and then he entered the palace just in time for the first day, so Han Xingchen and these children didn't know what happened, and Su Wen didn't ask anything wrong from Han Xingchen's mouth, so he also smiled very happily.
"You too, you have given so many things in the New Year's gift, and now you have brought so many things, and you will go to the Hou Mansion in a while, and you will give gifts again, your mother-in-law will have no opinion when she sees you sending so many things?"
Although Jiang is dissatisfied, but now this situation is obviously that the in-laws value their daughter, of course Jiang is very happy, anyway, she is not bad for money, it would be good to bring more gifts in return.
"Okay, okay, let's go to the Hou Mansion quickly, besides, my aunt's daughter is filial, we should be happy." Su Che smiled beside him, he had been an official for more than a year and was more calm than before.
"Father-in-law, I heard that you will be transferred to Honglu Temple at the beginning of the year, congratulations to my father-in-law on his promotion."
Su Xizhu looked at his father for a moment, Honglu Temple is a place to receive foreign guests, and his father's appointment as Honglu Temple Secretary is equivalent to the modern Minister of Foreign Affairs, and now because of the Three Kingdoms and other reasons, this position is now a fat shortage.
"I heard that you recommended me, Brother Zhan doesn't have to do this in the future, otherwise it will be bad for people to say that you will not be good."
Su Che also likes his new position, but he doesn't want to make trouble for Han Zhan, Han Zhan shook his head with a smile, if Su Che doesn't have this strength, it's useless for him to recommend him.
"Father-in-law, you have been working by the Holy Lord's side, and he knows your ability, otherwise he would not have selected you among a bunch of candidates."
Han Zhan didn't expect that his father-in-law, who was originally obsessed with calligraphy and painting, would actually mix very well in the court, and he was good at learning, and when he debated things, he often said that the other party was speechless, thinking that his wife was following his father-in-law.
The key is that Su Che is also good at speculating on people's hearts without disgusting, and often says that Emperor Sheng and Emperor do not let the other party be suspicious, and he will definitely be able to occupy a place in the court in the future.
"Okay, you don't need to praise each other, let's go."
Su Xizhu smiled, believing that Han Zhan knew what was going on in the court, and when Su Che's family arrived at the Hou Mansion of Annan, the Zhang family was already looking forward to it, of course, not to wait for Su Che's family but to wait for Han Haochen.
"Brother Hao, come and show your grandmother, you have lost weight, and your uncle has also lost weight." Zhang put his arm around Han Haochen and looked up at Han Zhan again, and said distressedly.
Everyone selectively can't hear Zhang's call for Aunt Han Zhan, after all, no matter what they say, Zhang's is doing his own thing, anyway, they are separated, Zhang's can be called whatever he likes, Jiang said that she does not fight for this long and short.
"Second sister, are you?" Su Xizhu looked at Su Xilan, who had obviously gained a few laps, and was a little shocked.
"I'm pregnant, just three months old, and I'm trying to tell you about it during the Chinese New Year."
Because of her pregnancy, Su Xilan was filled with a gentle air all over her body, because of the relationship between the first three months, so Su Xilan's pregnancy was only known to Su Xun's family, and now she came to the Hou Mansion to pay New Year's greetings, just to officially announce the good news.
Su Xizhu looked at the second brother-in-law next to him and turned his gaze to Su Xilan from time to time, it seemed that they had a good relationship with each other, after all, their eyes couldn't deceive people.
Su Xizhu turned her eyes to Han Zhan again and found that the other party was also looking at her and smiled, at this time Su Rou also came back with Zhong Lishu's family, Princess Minglan seemed to have forgotten about things in the palace, and chatted with Su Xizhu and Su Xilan affectionately.
"Third sister." Su Xiju came over to greet Princess Minglan, and then whispered to Su Xizhu next to her.
"Sister Ju, let my sister take a look, she's grown taller."
Su Xizhu got up with a smile and quietly pulled Su Xiju away, Princess Minglan wanted to stop but was stopped by Su Xilan.
"The princess seems to be pregnant?" Su Xilan often subconsciously held her stomach because she was pregnant, and she found that Princess Minglan was also like this, and she didn't want to say it, but Su Xizhu obviously had something to talk about privately with Su Xiju, so she spoke out to help divert Princess Minglan's attention.
"The second cousin has good eyes, but the time is still short, and the palace has not announced it to the public, and even the palace does not know about it, so I ask the second cousin to help keep it secret."
Princess Minglan was really attracted by Su Xilan, Su Xilan nodded, and then the two chatted briefly about Princess Minglan and left, after all, she had no interest in Su Xilan.
Su Xizhu originally invited Su Xiju to come to the Guogong Mansion several times, but she was stopped by the Zhang family, and now that she thinks about it, she hasn't seen Su Xiju for almost half a year.
"Third sister, Sister Ju misses you so much." Su Xiju hugged Su Xizhu and rubbed uncontrollably, very much like Xiaobai's coquettish appearance.
"Our sister Ju has become a big girl in a blink of an eye, how are you doing lately?"
The main reason is that Su Xiju has also reached the age where she wants to see it, and she thinks that the Zhang family will start after the next year, she is afraid that Su Xiju will be cheated by the Zhang family.
Since the separation, there is only one young lady left in the Hou Mansion of Annan, and the impact on the Hou Mansion of Annan because of the separation, with the personality of the Zhang family, he will definitely find a way to marry a favorable in-law.
"Third sister, I secretly heard my mother say that she will marry me in the coming year, and the candidate has also been decided, what is the fourth son of the Yu family."
Su Xiju didn't know who the fourth son of the Yu family was, and she didn't know much about the situation of the Yu family, so she was a little scared when she heard the news again, and the first thing she thought of was the third sister Su Xizhu.
But her mother looked at her strictly, and she was not allowed to contact the third sister, and the third sister sent someone to pick her up to the Dingguo Mansion and was rejected by her mother, so today I finally saw Su Xizhu, Su Xiju sought comfort like a wronged little beast.
Su Xizhu frowned, there are three famous Yu families in Shengjing, but there is only one of the four sons of the right age, that is, the Yu family, the squire of the military department, the Yu family and the Dingguo Mansion, or they are optimistic about Shuguifei and the third prince, they are people from the Shuguifei faction, and now the Zhang family wants Su Xiju to marry into the Yu family, and it is difficult to guess what little idea is played in his heart.
My eldest aunt has always been afraid that she will not pass on the position of the prince to Brother Hao in the future, so she wants to save the country and curry favor with Concubine Shu and the third prince, with their support, Han Haochen's position has stabilized a lot.
In fact, Su Xizhu really wanted to break Zhang's head to see how much she looked down on Han Zhan, even Su Xizhu herself didn't believe that she had the strength to let Han Zhan give up Brother Hao in the future, and the eldest aunt really looked down on her and looked down on Han Zhan.
Han Zhan likes himself for sure, but this liking is nothing more than the development of the Dingguo Mansion, and the only person who can make Han Zhan give up Han Haochen in the future is Han Haochen himself.
Su Xizhu didn't know much about the situation of the Yu family, but he only knew that there were four sons of their family, and this fourth son, Yu Long, was the youngest son of the current squire of the military department, and the eldest son was more than ten years old, and the other two sons were the sons of the second room of the Yu family.
Su Xizhu didn't know the situation of the fourth son, but the youngest son of a family often grew up pampered, especially the eldest son of the Yu family heard that he was quite talented, so Su Xizhu was not very optimistic, looking at Su Xiju's worried smile, she smiled and comforted.
"Don't worry, the third sister will help you inquire, anyway, this matter is just your mother's idea, and it has not been decided." Su Xiju nodded, she trusted Su Xizhu very much.
Su Xiju was quickly called away by the Zhang family, Su Xilan walked over slowly, and suddenly thought of something, and there was some gossip on her face.
"Third sister, do you know Zhao Yu's situation?" Su Xilan carefully did it, and Su Xizhu mentioned to her the name of a person that Su Xizhu had almost forgotten.
"Huh? I don't know? "It's been a long time since Su Xizhu last met Zhao Yu, but at that time, you can see that she is not doing well, and now looking at Su Xilan's expression, I'm afraid Zhao Yu is having a very bad time.
