Hearing this, Xiao Huai'an's eyes softened a little, and he didn't speak, Su Jiao raised her head again, "By the way, why did you come back so early today?" ”

"Yesterday, the quarrel between the three princes and the five princes on the street was learned by His Majesty, His Majesty was furious and suspended the duties of the two people, I don't have to go to court this morning, so I walked through the suburbs of Beijing under the jurisdiction of the three princes and came back, naturally I came back earlier."

"Fishing." This matter is so famous, Su Jiao naturally heard about seven or eight points, not to mention that Xiao Huai'an was still on the scene, so she could naturally see what Xu Ruzhu was planning, but the special meaning of these two words was not used by the ancients.

"What?" Xiao Huai'an was stunned when he heard it, on the surface he thought it should be a simple exercise, but in his heart he felt that what Su Jiao said was meaningful.

"No, I'm just talking casually, it just so happens that you came back early today, why don't you grab two fishing rods, how about we fish here?" Su Jiao shook her head, reached out and pointed under the water, successfully diverting the conversation.

"There is a big black carp in this pond that is more than one step long, I have long been in love, and I use it to stew soup and eat meat, and it is estimated that we can all set a table for the table."

"Big black carp?" Xiao Huai'an was speechless for a while, and the tone of these words revealed a faint reluctance and surprise.

"These fish were originally grass carp that were accidentally mixed in when they were released in this pond before, and they have been raised for several years, and I see that they are more pleasing than other carp, so I told people to remember to feed them in real time."

Saying that, Xiao Huai'an took a deep breath meaninglessly, and then said leisurely, "But if you like stewing, just stew it, but this fish is not as delicious as fresh and tender." ”

"I didn't expect that you, who have always been cold-hearted and cold-hearted in front of outsiders, also have a spiritual sustenance," Su Jiao blinked, if you want to be able to sit in the position of the queen of the shadow, it is very handy for people's facial expressions, observation and management.

Although Xiao Huai'an hid it very well, she still saw this reluctant emotion very thoroughly.

"Speaking of which, this fish can be regarded as a Buddha fish, I stewed it, it is not equivalent to cutting off the blessing of our family, forget it, I just talk, the fish in this pond can't be eaten, I just want to fish for fun."

As soon as he heard this, Xiao Huai'an's eyes when he looked at Su Jiao also became strange, and he said coldly, "What did you plan to do early was to fish here with me today?" ”

This sounds fine, but the key is that the focus is different, and the meaning of the whole sentence will become ambiguous, Su Jiao opened her mouth slightly, and looked at Xiao Huai'an's cold face, she inexplicably saw a little hidden emotion, and couldn't help but blush, and quickly avoided her eyes.

"Well, it's rare that you are free today, isn't it good to pass the time, I originally wanted to catch a few fish and stew them into soup for my mother to replenish her body, since you came back early today, why don't you express your filial piety?"

"You also said that the fish in this pond can't be eaten, so do you want to use the fish I caught to show filial piety, or do you want me to go out and buy a few for your mother?"

Xiao Huai'an pursed his mouth, slightly hooked up a shallow arc, and his body, which had always stood straight, was also a little crooked, so he could observe the changes in Su Jiao's ears for a long time.

Su Jiao didn't feel comfortable seeing him, and suddenly became angry, and patted Xiao Huai'an lightly with her hand, "Why are you so axial, the key is mind, understand?" ”

"You catch a few fish, I'll buy a few stews and send them over, just treat those as if those were your catches, or do you have to play this kind of word game with me here, are you really so idle today?"

"Hmm." When the words landed, Xiao Huai'an was beaten by Su Jiao, and then quietly looked at her and agreed, and the hibiscus behind them were really embarrassed to see this scene, and they beckoned the others to disperse.

Su Jiao also seemed to sense that something was wrong, and the red of his ears also spread to his cheeks, he flicked his sleeves and pretended not to care, and went straight to the kitchen.

After a while, Su Jiao's fish soup was ready, and the first bowl was really served to Mrs. Su, but not long after she entered the mansion, another carriage also stopped at the door of the Su mansion.

There were obviously two people sitting on this carriage, one fat and one thin, the curtain was opened, but only Xu Rulie walked out, and the other person was still waiting in the car.

Xu Rulie is a noble man in the Su Mansion, as soon as he enters the door, no one dares to stop him, and at the same time, someone is in a hurry to report to Lord Su, as soon as Lord Su appears, he seems to be taking him to the study to talk, but he is stopped.

"Lord Su doesn't have to worry, the main hall came to just say two words, the main hall has not heard from the poor child for a long time, today I really can't help it, it is better to use the name of Lord Su to send the main hall to meet with her, the main hall is grateful."

Xu Rulie's face was urgent, but Master Su was full of worry. "This, it may have been okay before, but last time, the official wanted to ask Su Jiao to save Li'er out, and he inadvertently offended Xiao Huai'an, so Xiao Huai'an sent someone to take care of the Lotus Temple and Li'er, and it was not so easy for the official to visit again, not to mention that His Royal Highness also had to go together."

"What's this, no one is staring at the main hall right now, the queen mother only wants to fight with the two concubines, if you don't take this opportunity, there will be no time in the future."

As he spoke, Xu Rulie lightly hammered his palm, turned his face and gritted his teeth and said, "What is he, Xiao Huai'an, after all, he is just a courtier, does he dare to stop His Highness, Lord Su only needs to bring this hall over, and all the consequences will be borne by this palace." ”

Xu Rulie said in a loud voice, and he was discussing in the garden without hindrance, so the people naturally didn't dare to talk much, but they asked Su Jiao, who came to bring soup to Mrs. Su today and was about to turn back, to listen to it.

"Where to go? Go to see Su Lian? Su Jiao only heard a few key words in a daze, but thinking about it in combination with Xu Rulie's character, what was the purpose of him going out with Master Su, it was not obvious.

"In that case, then okay, Your Highness, please wait a while, and the official will ask someone to prepare the horse." As soon as he mentioned that he could go to see Su Lian, Su Zhongshi naturally did not agree, and there was also the reason for Xu Rulie, Master Su must also be determined to make this trip.

When the words landed, Xu Rulie promised to go to the hall temporarily, waiting for Master Su to pack up his things, and Su Jiao took advantage of this gap to quietly walk to the front door.

"How can there be one more?" Su Jiao shouted to Hibiscus and Diecui to lower their voices, and planned to quietly move out of the door, but as soon as they walked to the corridor behind the door of the mansion, they could see another man sitting in Xu Rulie's carriage from a distance.

"Xu Rulie has changed his taste?" Su Jiao subconsciously thought so, but in the blink of an eye, she laughed at herself and put this idea behind her.

However, combined with the conflict between Xu Rulie and Xu Ruzhu yesterday, today he took the risk to see Su Lian, and there was a stranger in the car, if you want to say that there is no idea in it, I am afraid that no one will dare to believe it.

Thinking about it, listening to the sound of horses' hooves approaching outside the courtyard wall, like Master Su and Xu Rulie were about to go out, Su Jiao was shocked, and pulled the hibiscus and a few of them to hide in the room next to the gate for the gatekeeper to rest temporarily.

"Madam, why are we so sneaky, do we want to follow Lord Su and the Third Prince?"

"This is called prevention before it happens, not to mention that even if we don't hide and run into them, it's not the same as having to quarrel, it's better to hide if we can."

Su Jiao waved her hand, put her index finger in front of her lips to make a silent movement, leaned on the edge of the window and asked Mu Hibiscus to suppress her voice, lowered her body, and saw that after Master Su and Xu Rulie went out, a few people took a big breath.

"Let's go to the car, let's also go to the Lotus Temple to see my good sister." Su Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and as she commanded, Mu Hibiscus immediately jumped up and ran out quickly.

Fortunately, the road hibiscus who went to the Lotus Temple was also very familiar, but after a few more whips, Su Jiao's carriage quickly caught up with Master Su's footsteps.

After arriving at the small hill below the Lotus Temple, Mu Hibiscus picked a hidden place to park the carriage and led Su Jiao to the back path, so that he could reach the Lotus Temple before Lord Su and them.

Master Su's face was slightly solemn, and he led Xu Rulie slowly to the door of the Lotus Temple, and took the lead before the guards could speak.

"Stop, this is His Royal Highness the Third Prince, Xiao Huai'an asked you to take care of it here, but he didn't say that no one was allowed to visit at all."

"Yes, Master Su, please come in the third prince." But it was unprecedented, and the guards, who were usually stubborn to deal with Master Su, actually got out of the way so happily today.

Not only Lord Su, but also Xu Rulie was very puzzled, but after thinking about it, Xu Rulie didn't pay attention to it, didn't pay attention to what kind of expression Master Su was, and then swaggered into the door.

At this time, Su Jiao and Mu Hibiscus were hiding behind the relatively hidden bushes nearby, and they couldn't help frowning when they saw that only Master Su and Xu Rulie entered the door.

"It's weird, where else has one person gone?"

"Miss, who are you looking for, didn't you say to come to see the second miss, let's not go in?" Although Diecui didn't like Su Lian in her selfish heart, she couldn't help but be just a subordinate, and she was not qualified to say anything, so she just helped remind her.

"Silly Diecui, your young lady and I are not stupid, if you go in, wouldn't it be in vain to rush to scold the three of them, the main thing is the heart, just the heart."

As she spoke, Su Jiao pursed her mouth and turned around to go down the mountain, "That's it, there are too many mosquitoes on this mountain, let's go to the carriage and wait, after the third prince and father come down in a while, hibiscus, you remember to remind me." ”
