Chapter 157 is quite beautiful
Early in the morning, after Su Xuan had breakfast in Zhao's house, he didn't rush back to the study, but said a few words that made Zhao feel inexplicable.
It wasn't until General Su came back early in the morning to deliver a message that made him feel uneasy and panicked in his heart.
After the end of the early dynasty, General Su's mansion was left alone by the emperor, and when the physical evidence certification was placed in front of him, his face seemed to be slapped and painful. In order to take care of his face, the emperor no longer spread out in front of hundreds of officials, and an old face is worthy of facing the emperor.
Now there are rumors circulating outside that General Su's Mansion is a high-ranking master, and General Su's Mansion is already a thorn in the side of some people. If this matter spreads, it will not only be as simple as public resentment, but even more so the people who want to overthrow him.
He knew that in addition to the ancestral craftsmanship, there was also a curse that had been passed down for decades.
He has the impression of this Zhao master, who is Zhao's cousin. The eldest son is really a good man, and he makes dirty money with his mother's family. Sooner or later, the family will be punished.
——
With a black face, he looked coldly at the couple kneeling in front of him, disappointed.
"Su Xuan, I haven't asked you about it for a few years, and my courage has gained a lot."
"The father is angry, and the son knows that he has made a mistake and regrets it, and he will never do it again in the future." Su Xuan buried his body low, not knowing what his father knew, and replied very cautiously.
is both respectful and awe-inspiring to his father, the glory of General Su's Mansion is won by his father with the sword in his hand, and his ability to take care of many shops in the mansion also depends on the emperor's reward. In addition, all the properties of the mansion are now recorded in the name of my father.
No matter how bold and selfish he is, he doesn't dare to come nonsense now.
"What about you? How so? General Su ignored his rhetoric, he was old and his brain was not stupid.
Zhao's heart trembled, remembering what her husband had taught her, and stumbled in response: "My cousin dares to do such a unconscionable thing, and my daughter-in-law will definitely repair the book and go back to let my father punish him severely." ”
General Su rolled his eyes in his heart, all of them were husbands and wives who violated their conscience for the sake of silver: "Severe punishment? Asking assassins to murder officials just severely will the emperor let the Zhao family go? ”
This frightened the Zhao family, didn't he violate the rules and seek personal gain, how could he be involved in the murder? I couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Father! Could there be a misunderstanding in this matter? Although my cousin loves money, he definitely doesn't have the courage to harm others. My mother's family knows that you can't make blood money when you are in business! ”
Su Xuan knelt on the ground, his eyes swept at Zhao next to him with displeasure, and told her a few times to stabilize her, but she was still panicked.
Old General Su glanced at her and said lightly: "You really don't know about this?" ”
"The daughter-in-law will never cover up the mistakes made by the cousin, and the daughter-in-law will not admit the things that she doesn't know." After Zhao finished speaking, he glanced at the reaction of her husband next to her.
Old General Su leaned back on the circle chair and closed his eyes: "You go out, Xuan'er stays." ”
The moment Zhao exited the study, her body was covered with cold sweat, and her mother helped her so that her legs would not be weak and she would kneel on the ground. Regardless of his embarrassed expression, he hurried back to Qingmei Courtyard to write a letter to his mother's family.
——
Song Mengtong's patience was stronger than Su Xiang's image, and he waited for Su Xiangsi under the grape trellis for almost half an hour without showing any impatience.
Why does Song Mengtong follow her mother's surname, because she is not Song Shuer's biological daughter.
Song Shuer's husband was a merchant in Qingcheng, and his ancestors had never been a scholar or a high-ranking official, so he pinned his hopes on her husband.
When her husband went to Beijing to take the exam, he met Song Shuer, the eldest lady of Taishi Mansion, and the two fell in love at first sight.
At that time, Song Shuer had already made a marriage contract, and even if she was careful, her family still discovered the relationship between the two. Lord Taishi locked Song Shu'er in a fit of rage.
In the end, the man could only go back to Qingcheng to take over the family's business, how could anyone in Taishi Mansion think that Song Shu'er would dare to elope for him. The engagement contract can only be annulled, and the Taishi Mansion has become a joke in the whole capital.
Lord Taishi was angry and no longer recognized Song Shu'er, his daughter.
Song Shuer has been gone for 20 years, and when she was only three years old when she raised a son, her husband died in an accident while transporting goods. And Song Mengtong was an abandoned baby she picked up in the old alley of Heqingcheng, brought home to raise, and followed her surname.
With the favor of God, Song Mengtong is extremely dignified and beautiful, and she is a top-notch beauty in Heqingcheng. Song Shuer has spent a lot of effort to cultivate her, and she knows how to read and write, and she can do it.
Song Shuer's husband died in a suicide note, and his son handed over the shop under his name to him when he became an adult. The son is also competitive, and he has only been in business for a few years and is a famous and wealthy businessman in Qingcheng.
A son and a daughter are so good that they will naturally come to the door to ask for marriage, but Song Mengtong has been delaying again and again and failing to settle on the family matter.
——
"These confused maids, Miss Song didn't wake me up when she came. Listening to the rules of the bamboo courtyard made people laugh. ”
Song Mengran turned his head and retracted his gaze when he heard Su Xiangsi's angry reprimand, and saw Su Xiangsi standing under the eaves of the porch glaring angrily at the trembling maid who was leaning over and trembling. got up and walked to Su Xiangsi.
"Don't blame these maids, the maids in my sister's yard are the most knowledgeable in the house."
Su Xiangsi opened the door curtain and let her go in first.
"It's still me who indulges them on weekdays, it's hot outside, Sister Song should have woken me up a long time ago."
The moment Song Mengtong stepped into Su Xiangsi's house, he knew what it meant to be a little witch. The things in Su Qing's house are all exquisite and high-priced, but none of them are as rare as those in Su Xiangsi's house.
Just take this large piece of curtain is the world's very rare moonlight veil, the daylight into the house will not be dazzling and comfortable to sleep, the wind can also through the veil, so that the room is cool and comfortable.
The workmanship of moonlight yarn is extremely complicated, and it is impossible to weave half a horse in two years. Even if the color and pattern are ordinary one foot, it is worth 100 gold, not to mention Su Xiangsi's two-layer and one-sided moonlight yarn, it can be seen that Tingzhuyuan is actually more silver than Qingmei, but it is not as showy as Su Qing.
Song Mengtong sat on the cushion of the bed, and it felt different from that of Qingmei Courtyard, it seemed that she had misestimated.
"My sister is busy taking care of the affairs of the yard every day, and she should also pay attention to rest. Don't blame the maid, or I'll be guilty. ”
Su Xiangsi smiled disappreliably, the good guy inquired about the news very quickly. beckoned to let Rosin Xiang hurry up and bring the tea: "These are all trivial things in the courtyard, how can they compare to the eldest sister being directly in charge of the affairs of the house." ”
Song Mengtong was dazzled by the things in Su Xiangsi's room, picked up the teacup and smelled the fragrance and was stimulated, all these things are several grades better than Su Qing's.
After a turn of thought, he also understood the words that Su Qing and her hinted at, and he knew it in his heart. There is really no sisterhood in the mansion.
"I wanted to bring some small things to my sister, but now I'm afraid I won't be able to get into your eyes."
Su Xiangsi quickly took the brocade box from her maid's hand and opened it to see that it was indeed some things that little girls liked.
"These little things are rare, and they are also Sister Song's intentions, I naturally like them."
As he spoke, he turned his head and beckoned to Rosin Xiang: "Go and bring a few miscellaneous notes on my desk to Sister Song, I have long heard from the second aunt that Sister Song is full of poetry and books." These were collected by my elder brother, and the two elder brothers are about to participate in the Autumn Festival, so I gave them all a few policy books. ”
As he spoke, his tone gradually became admiring: "When the two brothers are promoted and crowned high-ranking officials, it will really be the expectations of the aunts." ”
The rosin ninja laughed, there were no miscellaneous notes on the table, it was just a bunch of unfinished account books.
Song Mengtong's curled eyelashes fluttered a few times: "The eldest young master and the second young master are so talented that they will definitely be on the list." ”
"Yes, Mr. College said that the brothers are gifted and have a bright future."
Su Xiangsi spit out a few words lightly, no longer paying attention to her expression, wanting to pay attention to her brother, thinking beautifully.
