Chapter 11 is a disaster that cannot be avoided
It's just that I drank a few glasses, and I really couldn't wake up early in the morning and was pulled up by rosin and catkins to get up and wash.
patted his face lightly to try to sober himself up, and did not forget to tell Liu Wu: "Bring the jade Buddha beads in the cabinet." ”
According to the ceremony, Li Qinse is going to ask Mrs. Su for peace today, Su Xiangsi is relieved but wants to accompany him, if he is reprimanded for letting his mother go late, it is really a sin.
After a series of etiquette, Li Qinse presented the bead string to Mrs. Su, her face really eased, and after a few words of lukewarm pretense of concern, she found an excuse to let the mother and daughter go back.
General Su and Su Mian's father and son had already entered the palace to face the saint, and Su Xiangsi sat in front of the rosewood desk with a headache and kneading his forehead. The things brought back by my father and mother still need to be sorted out and registered in the warehouse, and the things to be sent to the various hospitals have not been decided, and the files sent by Jinxiu have not been able to be seen. It takes a lot of effort to pile things up.
Rosin Xiang was a little annoyed, she should have stopped Miss last night, and helped Miss rub her temples with moderate strength.
Su Xiangsi felt a lot more comfortable, opened the list brought back by her father and mother, and the names and origins of each item were swiped by the fingertips of the tender powder, and she already had a plan in her heart.
The plum blossoms in the yard were in full bloom, and Su Qing ordered someone to cut a few branches and come back, and personally put them in a vase to fiddle with the shape and let people send them to Yi'an Hospital.
The incense burner was burning with fresh spices, and there were maids standing in the inner hall waiting for the master's orders at any time.
The eldest lady is in charge of the general's mansion, and the errand is well done in the eyes of the eldest lady, and it may be mentioned that the first-class maid can still get a reward no matter how bad she is, and the eldest lady never skimps on these small money.
Su Qing leaned on the window bed and looked through the chess games, she was born in the General's Mansion and was already very high-born, she also knew that only by constantly learning would she not be overtaken by others, she was very strict with herself on weekdays, and if she was not careful, she would be surpassed by other Houfu ladies.
Zhao was doing embroidery on the side, and his daughter's eyes became more and more satisfied. With such a daughter, walking around the capital is not as simple as having a light on her face.
Mother Liu walked up to the two masters and bowed: "Madam, listen to the bamboo courtyard and send someone to send something over." ”
Zhao fiddled with the hem of his skirt a few times, sat up straight, showed a noble and decent demeanor, and raised his chin to signal that someone was invited in.
Rosin Xiang led a few maids in and curtled her legs and saluted: "I've seen the eldest lady, the eldest lady." ”
"It's going to be a trouble for you to run in the cold weather." Su Qing raised her hand to signal to get up, rosin was Su Xiangsi's personal maid, and sending her to send something could be regarded as giving face.
"The eldest lady is polite, the eldest young master brought back some things, and the young lady specially ordered me to send them personally." turned around and motioned to the maids to open: "My young lady said that the eldest lady is full of poetry and books, and I think the eldest lady will like these ancient books." There are also a few miscellaneous books that are most suitable for the second young master and the eldest master. There are a few boxes of ointment for wiping the face, which is unique to the border town, so that the skin is delicate and light, and the women love it, and it is for the eldest lady. ”
"Thanks to Mingjin still remembering us outside, I thanked your young lady for Run'er." The eldest lady looked at each box one by one and was very satisfied with these things, she had heard of the ointment alone, and at her age she was more concerned about her appearance.
Liu's mother understood, and a few maids stepped forward to take the things. The rosin didn't stay much, and after the salute, he took people out of Qingmei Temple.
The catkins on the other side asked the maids to open the box in Youlan Curie: "This piece of seven-spice ink is rare, and Miss said that it is most appropriate for the second lady to use it to copy scriptures." The color of these two gorgeous fragrant brocades is just the right color for the second lady, and there are a few miscellaneous books for the third young master and the master. ”
"Your young lady has always been considerate and well-behaved, and I will personally come to the door to thank you another day." The second lady waved her hand to let people accept the things, and the third lady was really smart, and the things she sent were all according to everyone's wishes.
"The second lady doesn't need to be so polite, there are still miscellaneous things in the courtyard, and the slave and maid will stay soon."
"Mother Zhang, send Miss Liu Fu out."
Liu Wu did not shirk it, bowed and left with her people.
Su Yiling looked at this piece of seven-spice ink for a long time, and the more she looked at it, the more she liked it. Seven incense ink is rare not to mention, and there are only two pieces in the hands of the saint today, and one in the hands of King Yu.
Moreover, King Yu has a deep attainment in calligraphy.
After looking at it for a while, I carefully put it away in person, reluctant to use such a good ink.
Su Xiangsi randomly picked out a few pieces of jewelry and ornaments and asked people to send them to the aunts in the big room and the second room, as well as the ladies in the concubines. The gifts should be given in full, and the noodles should be given in full.
After confirming that everything was properly registered and put into storage, and it was almost lunchtime, he ordered the kitchen to prepare a few more dishes he liked to eat, and took the account book to Li Qinse's house.
Li Qinse followed Su Mian around, although his skin was not tender, and he did not have the pampering of Mrs. Jingzhong, but the heroic spirit on his face made the whole person feel refreshed.
Su Xiangsi entered the back room and saw her mother looking at the prayer post, and there were a few scattered on the desk next to her. He looked up at his daughter and took her little hand.
"It's still coming over on such a cold day, just let them come over and say something."
"The mother didn't want her daughter, so she had to come by herself." Su Xiangsi took her mother's hand and sat down on the other side.
Li Qinse unceremoniously pinched her daughter's nose and reprimanded: "Don't talk nonsense." ”
grinned, and said a few words to coax Li Qinse to laugh. In the past, when I saw other people in the house being coquettish with their mothers and being cared for by their mothers, the envy in my heart was really felt.
"This is the account book of our hospital for the past two years, for my mother to see."
Pushing the account book to Li Qinse, Li Qinse casually put the account book aside and didn't plan to look at it: "Mother Pan said, you are sensible and serious, and your contribution to listening to the bamboo courtyard can be calm and quiet for two years is not small." ”
Pan's mother followed Li Qinse to marry to the general's mansion, and when she went to the border, she didn't worry that her daughter would leave Pan's mother in the mansion to help. Now that she has returned to Beijing, Pan's mother naturally returned to Li Qinse's side to serve.
casually pushed the greeting post on the desk to his daughter: "Look, help me reply." ”
It's only been two days since I returned to Beijing, and I have received a lot of greetings.
Su Xiangsi opened the greeting posts one by one, divided the greeting posts of the noble mansion in Beijing and the friends of his mother's boudoir and handed them to Liu Wu: "These replies that my mother has just returned to Beijing, and the trivial matters in the house are complicated, so I will visit when I have time." These few replies told the aunts to invite them to the house for a gathering after a while. ”
After instructing, he turned his head and winked at his mother, Li Qinse saw her intention and scolded a few words: "My daughter has grown up and can get married." ”
At lunchtime, the three people who entered the palace to face the saint came back. The emperor really rewarded him heavily, and the whole six boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, and porcelain vases were carried into the Tingzhu Courtyard. And only five boxes were confiscated into the treasury of the General's Mansion in the name of General Su.
The people of the general's mansion: Listen to the bamboo courtyard is really rich.
Li Qinse is the eldest lady of the military department, with an elder brother and a younger brother. When I was young, although I was not famous in the capital, the door was there, and the people who asked for relatives were never broken, and the threshold was broken several times. Su Mian tried his best, endured a lot of hardships, got the nod of Lord Shangshu, and made a poisonous oath by his brother-in-law before marrying his wife home.
The military department Shangshu Li Mansion and General Su are three streets apart, and the carriage is only half a pillar of incense. The people of the Li Mansion saw the carriage coming from the street and hurriedly went in to report.
Li Shangshu and his wife and children were already waiting in the hall, their cloudy eyes were obviously moist, they hadn't seen their daughter and grandson for two years, and they missed it tightly.
"The son-in-law visited his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and asked for punishment for letting Qin Se suffer outside." When Su Mian entered the hall, he knelt down and kowtowed three times.
Su Xiangsi pursed her lips and smiled, worthy of being her father, promising.
Li Shangshu snorted coldly and did not answer, but the sparkling water droplets in his eyes could not deceive people.
Glancing at Li Shangshu helplessly, Shangshu's wife Qin stepped forward and took the initiative to help Su Mian up: "It's better for you to come back safe and sound than anything else." ”
Li Qinse nodded and greeted his brother and brother, knelt in front of his parents and choked up: "It's my daughter who is not filial." ”
Li Shangshu turned his head and wiped his face, and deliberately reprimanded a few words with a tiger face before letting the 'common suffering' couple get up.
The brother and sister and the two uncles whispered, and the elders had endless words, and it was not good to interrupt the juniors.
"Ming Jin's momentum as a general outside for two years is more obvious." Li Shangshu looked at Su Mingjin, it was really terrifying.
Su Mingjin stood up and bowed: "Grandfather can be regarded as thinking of me." My grandfather was old and strong, and I couldn't compare to him. ”
Li Shangshu laughed out loud and looked at Su Xiangsi: "Si'er, are your injuries all healed?" ”
The words fell, and the atmosphere in the hall was suddenly eerily quiet.
Su Xiangsi could feel several eyes looking at her. I secretly screamed in my heart that it was not good, it was a blessing or a curse, and it was a disaster that could not be avoided.
Preemptively, seizing the opportunity has always been her code, soft and coquettish: "Father and mother, I'm fine, it's just a small injury, it's already healed." ”
"Nonsense! Scratched by a bandit, where is a small injury. "The brave Lord Shangshu made up for it perfectly. It was too late for the Qin clan to stop him.
"Bandits?!" The three people who didn't know the truth exclaimed. staring at Su Xiangsi, it was very unclear that this matter was not finished.
Grandfather, please say less!
Two uncles hold their foreheads, niece, we can't save you.
Feeling the unusually fierce eyes of his parents and brother, he could break out in a cold sweat in the cold winter when the north wind was howling.
It's a curse, and I can't avoid it.
Under the pressure of the eyes of the three people, he honestly told the story of the matter, and quietly observed the three of them while talking.
It's not good to coax.
"I'm going back and I'm teaching you a lesson." Su Mian dropped this sentence, and Su Xiangsi felt another big "gluck" in his heart.
Su Mian's father and son and Li Shangshu went to the study, while Su Xiangsi followed her mother and grandmother into the boudoir to chat.
"Two years ago, Si'er said to reduce contacts, don't attract the attention of all forces, and wronged you to suffer in the General's Mansion." Two years ago, Su Xiangsi noticed that King Yu's plot was wrong, if the two mansions were too close, he was afraid that King Yu would attack in advance, and at that time, his parents were outside the border and could not go to the capital, and no one could guarantee the consequences. After discussion, we agreed with Su Xiangsi's approach and reduced walking.
"Grandmother, don't worry, those people inside can't bully me. But I didn't do my filial piety for my mother. Su Xiangsi wiped away the tears from the corners of her grandmother's eyes.
She understands that the higher the position, the more she has to worry about.
When Li Qinse wanted to go to the border to find Su Mian, he shocked everyone in the capital, and Lord Shangshu and his wife tried their best to stop it. At that time, there was an uproar, and after a few days of stalemate, the Ministry of War Shangshufu released cruel words, if he dared to go, he would cut off relations and not interact.
But it did not threaten Li Qinse's determination, and resolutely went to the border.
In the past two years, the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War really did not have any contact with General Su's Mansion.
Today, the people saw Su Mian and his wife and children entering the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, and the old things of the year were mentioned again.
Two hours later, when I saw Su Mian helping Li Qinse, who was hiding his face and crying bitterly, out of Shangshu Mansion, his face was full of helplessness. Followed by a veiled girl and a young man, they quickly got into the carriage and did not dare to stay longer, and ordered the coachman to leave the military department Shangshu Mansion quickly.
Carrying the salute at noon, crying at night and coming out with the same salute, this scene is seen, and it is inevitable that you will think and guess more.
The big room and the second room naturally also heard the news that Li Qinse was crying and returning to listen to the bamboo courtyard, and the family of four closed the door of the courtyard tightly when they came back. I'm afraid I don't even have the appetite for dinner.
Su Xiangsi entered the inner room after bathing and saw her mother sitting on the edge of her bed with an expressionless face, feeling helpless, it seemed that she couldn't fool herself to get through.
"Mother......" timidly opened her mouth, lowering her head and not daring to approach.
"It's useless to pretend to be pitiful, go to bed and lie down." Li Qinse was unmoved.
I didn't dare to say more, so I honestly lay on the bed and untied my clothes.
The slap-long wound had scabbed off and grown new flesh, and Li Qinse's heart was still throbbing. Trembling and scarring.
"You haven't been injured this badly since you fell into the water as a child."
"When a serious injury is healed, if my mother cries, my injury will never heal."
Her daughter's intimate sensibility made her feel even more guilty, so she pulled the quilt and covered her daughter, and talked to her daughter before getting up and going back to the house.
Su Mingjin was relieved, rummaged through and found a few ointments to send to her sister in person. Su Xiangsi repeatedly promised that he would not risk his life again before coaxing him back to rest.
"It's still my family that really cares about Miss." Rosin put the soup woman into the quilt to warm the acquaintance's feet.
Catkins blow out all the candles and don't be so dazzling.
Su Xiangsi watched the two of them busy with their work, and said with a smile: "You are also my family." ”
"Miss saved the two of us lives, of course it's Miss's person, Miss can't be relied on."
"Now I can't live without you, and you're used to having a problem." Su Xiangsi felt sleepy and yawned, "You guys also rest early, and if Su Qing and Su Yiling come tomorrow, let them wait." ”
The catkins rosin lowered the bed curtain, made sure that the window was open for ventilation, and went out lightly in the partition of the front hall of the inner room.
A good night's sleep.
