Chapter 199: Revisiting the Old Matter and Entering the Palace Again
The days that followed passed unconsciously faster, and Su Man thought back that he didn't know how the whole wax moon came over.
In the month of Layue, the Xie family replied and set the wedding date of Su Che and Xie Ying on the eighth day of the second lunar month, saying that it was a rare good day.
Once this day is set, time flies, and the Xie family is busy renovating the new courtyard for Su Che in Layue, and the matter of preparing for the New Year's ceremony naturally falls on Su Man.
Fortunately, Su Man has also learned a lot of things from the Xie family in the past few years, and she is also clear about the relationship between various families.
It's been a mess for the whole wax moon, and it's at the bottom of the year.
Because of the death of the queen Ji, this year's capital was much more deserted than usual, because there was no queen mother in the harem, so this year's foreign women had to be canceled to enter the palace.
Su Man is very happy about this, every year she sees her grandmother and mother wearing high-grade dresses, wearing complicated makeup and hair, and coming back from the palace with a tired face, she feels very distressed.
This year, I was able to take a good rest at home.
But before this idea came out, news came from the palace, saying that His Majesty missed his aunt and wanted to invite Mrs. Su into the palace to speak.
When these words reached Su Mansion, the faces of the people in the Mansion were very unsightly.
At this time, Mrs. Su was invited into the palace, what was it for, everyone knew it in their hearts.
Xie Shi looked at Old Madam Su dressed in full costume, stepped forward two steps and stopped talking, but Old Madam Su patted the back of her hand and laughed softly: "Don't worry, we have done everything that needs to be done, and Your Majesty will not embarrass me, an old woman." ”
Xie Shi still felt a little uneasy, but there was nothing to be done, watching the carriage that Mrs. Su was riding farther and farther, she beckoned the mother-in-law in the concierge on the side, and commanded in a low voice: "You find someone to send a message to Jintaifang, and say that the old lady has entered the palace." ”
The woman understood, and turned around and walked out of the second door after answering.
Su Man stood behind Xie Shi, and he was also a little uneasy in his heart.
The emperor would not think of Mrs. Su for no reason, and last time he found this excuse to summon their ancestors and grandchildren into the palace, so that she naturally knew.
Now he wants to attack the son of the Su family, but he has no success, I am afraid that there is no way, so he has to make this decision.
But now that he has a marriage contract, since he wants to be a generation of Ming Jun, he can't do such a thing as taking the wife of a minister.
However, if the grandmother was pinched in his hands......
Su Man didn't dare to think about it anymore, turned to Xie Shi and said, "Mother, I should go to find Brother Yan in person, I'm afraid that the mother-in-law can't speak clearly." ”
Xie Shi was already worried in his heart, but when he heard Su Man say this, he didn't stop it, nodded and said, "That's fine, it's more convenient for you to say these words." ”
Su Man should be, bowed down to her, and didn't have time to change his clothes, so he turned around and walked out of the weeping flower door.
Su Man got off the sedan chair at the second gate of Jintaifang, and the mother-in-law who was guarding the second gate saw it, and hurriedly came out, and said with a smile: "Why did the eldest girl come here in person, Fang Caibofu also sent a small servant to pass the word, and our son is in the outer study at this time." ”
Su Man helped Hongmei's men get off the sedan chair, but she walked towards the hanging flower door with a step, the woman naturally didn't dare to stop her, and trotted all the way behind Su Man and laughed: "Big girl, what's the matter, the old slave has already called someone to pass the word to the son, please wait in the flower hall first." ”
Su Man paused for a moment, glanced at the flower hall, but walked back again: "I'll go to the banquet room and wait for him, you just go and pass the word, don't worry about me." ”
The mother-in-law replied twice, but she didn't dare to follow Su Man anymore, stomped her feet and turned her head out of the yard.
A few little girls were guarding in the main courtyard, and they were all taken aback when they saw Su Man coming, so they hurriedly welcomed people into the house and sat down, and came over with hot tea.
A very well-dressed girl in the courtyard stepped forward with a smile, bowed to Su Man, and said softly: "I don't know if the girl is coming here, if you neglect the girl, please forgive the girl." ”
Su Man held the teacup and looked the girl in front of him up and down.
This girl looks fifteen or sixteen years old, with apricot eyes and peach cheeks, a slender figure, and she looks very marked.
She only had a clutch on her head, an orchid hairpin carved from white jade, and only a pair of silver cloves on her ears, which was also elegant. He was wearing a peach-colored armor inlaid with rabbit fur, and his face was very delicate.
Su Man hadn't seen this girl when he came over before, so he looked at her a few times, and then asked with a smile: "I haven't seen this sister a few times before." ”
The girl pursed her lips and smiled when she heard this, and replied softly: "The girl has indeed never seen the maid, and the maid was only sent to the house in the past two months." ”
Su Man sighed, and continued to ask with a smile: "Then I don't know what my sister is called?" ”
"The maid's name is Xiyan, and she has seen the big girl." As she spoke, she bowed to Su Man again.
Su Man wanted to say something more, but he heard a sound of footsteps outside the door, and then Lu Yan strode in wrapped in the cold wind.
Seeing this, the girl named Xiyan immediately greeted her, stretched out her hand to untie the cloak for Lu Yan, and then said with a smile: "The son is late, and the eldest girl has been waiting for a long time." ”
Lu Yan let her tidy up her clothes for herself, with a slight smile on her face, she turned her head to look at Su Man, and asked, "Isn't my aunt already calling someone to come over to spread the word, why do you bother to make this trip yourself." ”
Su Man sat in place but didn't move, holding his cheeks and watching Xiyan retreat with a cloak on his crimson face, then he replied with a smile: "I'm afraid that others can't tell me clearly, so I want to come over and talk to you personally," she said, glancing meaningfully at the still shaking door curtain, and said with a smile, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen this girl before, and she looks really beautiful." ”
Lu Yan sat opposite Su Man, stretched out his hand to pour a cup of tea for himself, and said with a smile: "She was sent by Ji Yang, saying that there are too few sensible girls in my inner house, so he picked a few and sent them over." ”
Su Man also nodded in agreement, and said, "It's still thoughtful Ji Gongzi, there should indeed be a sensible girl waiting by your side." ”
Su Man's words were very natural, but Lu Yan heard the difference, he looked up at Su Man, but saw that her expression was very indifferent.
Lu Yan didn't know why, but he felt a little unhappy, snorted lightly, and said: "It's enough for me to have Qingcheng and Qingyuan by my side, and the reason why I left this girl is just thinking that after you pass the door, it will always be impossible to have a girl in charge in this courtyard." ”
