Chapter 156: Let her wait
After Xie Mingsheng was promoted to the head of the household department, he quickly reorganized the affairs of the ministry and was humble and polite in the court. Coupled with Li Yuwen's intentional or unintentional mention, the journey was also smooth.
Now at this age, he is in the prime of life, and he has become the high position of the head of the household. There are a lot of petty officials who befriended him, and there are also hints that his daughter is at the age of marriage. As soon as he was in the morning, Xie Mingsheng was surrounded by his colleagues.
Finally got rid of these people and returned to the door, raising his legs and about to step up the steps. An unkempt, rag-clad man burst out of a nearby alley and pounced on him.
Xie Mingsheng couldn't reach it and was pounced, and staggered back a few steps before barely stabilizing his figure.
"Ask for ...... Please...... Give me something to eat. The man who looked like a beggar grabbed Xie Mingsheng's robe and refused to let go.
Before Xie Mingsheng could react, he heard this strange boy tremble and whispered: "I have an unjust case in my hand, someone is chasing and killing me, Lord Shangshu save me." ”
Xie Mingsheng tightened his jaw when he heard this, and soon returned to his normal complexion, and shouted to the doorman, "Quickly help me in and prepare something to eat." ”
The county commander entered Xie Mingsheng's mansion safely before he put down the stone in his heart, although he was protected by heroes along the way, he also encountered several sneak attacks. It can be regarded as a wandering place to hide next to Shangshu Mansion.
At the moment when he pounced, he was worried that Xie Mingsheng would blow him away as a madman.
The news also quickly reached the ears of the eldest lord Su Xuan, and he was so angry that he smashed the magnolia porcelain cup on the table. If the county commander's eyeliner hidden in the capital is not found, forget it, and the assassins sent out will be wiped out.
A few useless things sneak attacked several times without success, but he didn't know that there was a master behind this county commander to protect him, which was also something he was afraid of.
The most important thing now is how to minimize the takeover, if you can sneak attack Shangshu Mansion, maybe you will get twice the result with half the effort. But if you get caught...... Then, his stewardship will never be available.
This is what he is most angry about, and he can't think of the best solution in the fastest time. Xie Mingsheng does things above board and seeks justice for the people, and I don't know how he will deal with this matter.
Aunt Rong, who was standing outside the door and was about to knock on the door, heard the sound of breaking inside, and her jade hand paused. He handed the food box in his hand to the attendant guarding the door and turned to leave.
Although the Changchun courtyard where Song Shuer's mother and daughter live is remote, it is very close to Tingzhu Courtyard. Last night, the Changchun Courtyard was so lively, the lights were bright, and the good food and good things alone made the servants go several times. The sisters only got together again after ten years, and there were always endless words and tears. , the second lady and Su Yiling stayed until the third watch before leaving.
No, early in the morning, Song Mengtong freshened up and went to Qingmei Courtyard to find Su Qing. This road twists and turns along the winding corridor, and I sigh in my heart that it is worthy of a big family like General Su, and all the things in this garden are not affordable for ordinary people.
Even if it is a rich merchant in Qingcheng, it cannot be compared with here.
Stepping into Su Qing's house in Qingmei Courtyard, her heart was filled with jealousy, and the exquisite decorations inside were of great value at a glance, which dazzled her, even if she had never seen it before.
Even if she and her mother are wearing gold and silver in Heqingcheng, the specifications are not so big, and the golden jade hairpin that Su Qing wore on her head yesterday was something she couldn't buy ruthlessly, let alone the whole set of hair and face on Su Qing's head.
Even the close-fitting maid dress is better than ordinary people.
"Cousin Mengtong was tired from the boat and car yesterday and should have a good rest, why did she come here early in the morning." Su Qing greeted gently, fiddling with the folds of her skirt casually, and the transparent jade bracelet on her hand was very dazzling.
Song Mengtong looked away, gave the maid behind him a look, and said, "If you want to live in the mansion for a while, you really want to go up and down the mansion." These are some gadgets I brought back from Heqingcheng, and I don't know if they can get into my sister's eyes. ”
Su Qing glanced at the things in the brocade box, they were all good rabbit down trimmed accessories, and they could be regarded as carefully prepared. Nodding his head, he motioned for Wu Pei to accept it.
"My sister is thinking about me, and if you are not used to it in the house in the future, you can come and talk to me."
Song Mengtong said with a little admiration in his tone: "I have long heard that my sister can take care of the affairs of the house, which is the envy of many young ladies." ”
"I'm just learning to take care of it with my grandmother now, which is nothing, but the third sister is in charge of the whole yard by herself, and she is very good at running the shop." Su Qing didn't care about hooking her lips, she really could take care of affairs if she said it nicely, it was nothing more than trivial things.
"If a girl is not tough, she can't afford to run a store." Song Mengtong seemed to be unintentional, and her eyes did not let go of a trace of Su Qing's expression change.
Su Qing glanced at her, understood the other party's eyes, and said casually: "My three sisters have a temperament that they do whatever they want, and even my grandmother can't do anything about her." If you collide with your sister in the future, don't take it to heart. ”
"How come, Acacia is still young, there will always be times when you are ignorant."
Su Xiangsi sat under the grape trellis and was caught off guard by sneezing a few times, rubbing her nose and muttering, "Who is talking about me behind my back?" Song Mengtong shouldn't want to come, right? ”
"The tea in Qingmei Courtyard hasn't cooled yet, and I guess I won't come until the young lady finishes taking a nap." Rosin Xiang went to inquire, Miss Song had been in Qingmei Courtyard for almost an hour, and she could hear the laughter and conversation inside when she stood outside the courtyard.
When Song Mengtong walked to the outside of Tingzhu Courtyard and just arrived, Su Xiangsi slept the deepest in the afternoon.
Seeing the closed gate of the bamboo courtyard from afar, looking at the simple style of the carvings on it, it is obviously different. I couldn't help but think of what Su Qing said.
"The most delicate person in our house belongs to the third sister, and she can't eat any grievances."
Thinking like this in his heart, the courtyard door opened, and a tall and handsome man stepped out of the door.
Song Mengtong's mind flashed Su Mingjin's name. I have long heard that the third young master of General Su's mansion is brave and good at fighting, and he has inherited the ability of General Su and the third grandfather to lead the army, and he will be the one who will be crowned a general in the future.
is worthy of being the son of the capital, much stronger than that of Qingcheng.
Unexpectedly, he was so talented and beautiful, and he easily made the girl blush and heartbeat.
Su Mingjin naturally saw her, but she didn't know who this person was. Only Yang Yi has a good time with her sister.
"Mengtong has seen the third young master." Song Mengtong felt that his face was slightly hot, and his posture was delicate and slightly bent his legs to salute.
"It turned out to be Miss Song, but you came to find Acacia?" Su Mingjin heard her sister mention it last night, as if her sister didn't seem to be very interested in the girl.
Unexpectedly, Su Mingjin knew her, and her heart suddenly jumped, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly: "I brought some gadgets for Acacia, so I took a moment." ”
Su Mingjin nodded and didn't speak, turned sideways and let her go first, but she couldn't say a few more words, but Song Mengtong was a little disappointed in her heart.
The moment Song Mengtong stepped into the Tingzhu Courtyard, he couldn't help but like the scenery inside, and there was no doubt about a small garden. The flower beds are neatly arranged, and the shelves are covered with small flowers that have bloomed with vines. Even more eye-catching is the grape trellis, which is perfect for the summer night to blow the wind underneath.
Liu Wu's brows jumped wildly, and no matter how reluctant he was, he could only step forward to entertain the guests: "I've seen Miss Song, if you have something to do in the hot summer, you can let the maid run." ”
Song Mengtong's eyes looked past her and looked into the room: "If you stay fine, you want to come and see the third lady." ”
"My young lady has been busy all morning, and now she has just taken a nap, so it's better for Miss Song to go back and rest first." Liu Wu is very embarrassed, and her own lady's anger when she gets up is not something that ordinary people can afford.
"It's okay, it's still early, I'll wait a little longer." Song Mengtong said that he walked to the grape trellis and sat on the rattan chair. I can't see a posture that will never go.
Liu Wu held back the unhappiness in his heart and didn't kick the person out, turned around and beckoned the person to prepare tea and snacks.
Rosin stood outside the bed curtain and quietly reminded: "Miss, send Miss." ”
"Hmm...... Let her wait. ”
Su Xiangsi answered, yawned, and closed his eyes again.
