"I wanted to talk to Mrs. Xiao a few more words, but I didn't expect it to arrive so soon, since that's the case, then I'll go back first, Mrs. Xiao will leave." After that, Zhang Yuge politely saluted Su Jiao's daughter's house, then turned around and walked out with lotus steps.

Su Jiao looked at her distant back, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: I have been here for so long, I'm afraid she is the only woman of the same age who has shown kindness to herself.

With a long exhale, Su Jiao was about to turn around and walk through another door, when she almost collided with someone without noticing.

Fortunately, Su Jiao raised her head again, and after seeing who it was, she couldn't stand a small complaint.

"When did you come over? I don't know if it squeaks, I almost thought I was hell. ”

"Isn't the carriage of the Zhang family, the head of the household, supposed to have left a long time ago?" Xiao Huai'an held her, barely able to see the shadow of the carriage leaving.

"The queen fell in love with the young lady of the Zhang family, and Miss Zhang was worried that the third prince was not a good person, so she came to ask me about it." Su Jiao covered her red forehead and stepped back.

"Why did you come out so early today, are you going to go back?"

"Go out of the palace to do something, just send you home." Xiao Huai'an was concise and to the point, and took Su Jiao to the palace gate, where a simple carriage had already stopped.

The two got into the carriage, and Xiao Huai'an asked again, "The Su family has few contacts with the Zhang family, so did you tell the truth to Miss Zhang?" ”

"Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter, of course I will say what I can say, but don't worry, I have already made up my mind with Miss Zhang, she will not betray me." Su Jiao turned her head to look out the window, and she didn't know why she was so sure.

"What's more, it's not certain whether the matter between the household department and the three princes can be successful. And I heard that the countess is the sister of that Lord Zhang? ”

"Yes," Xiao Huai'an replied, "Countess Zhang Xinglin, and Zhang Song, the head of the household department, are brothers and sisters of the same mother, and Mrs. Zhang is the niece of the old earl, so the Zhang family and the earl of Yong'an are considered to be generations of in-laws,"

"Miss Zhang grew up with the countess since she was a child, and her temperament is not bad, and if it wasn't for the old earl's love for Miss Zhang's niece and granddaughter the most, you and the third prince have a marriage contract in front of you, and the queen's meaning is already intended for Miss Zhang."

"Oh, this generation is really complicated enough," Su Jiao went through it in her mind, and suddenly felt that something was not right, and said with a strange face, "What do you mean by this, did I have a marriage contract with the third prince at the beginning, and I really didn't deserve him?" ”

When the words landed, Xiao Huai'an quietly turned his eyes, but Su Jiao still clearly noticed the smile on his face.

"No, it's just that Miss Zhang is too humble and benevolent, and it is easier to control than you, and if the third prince marries the Zhang family, you can reap the two major boosts of the Zhang family and Count Yongan at the same time."

Saying that, Xiao Huai'an collected his emotions, and turned back to look at Su Jiao solemnly, "The title of Earl of Yong'an was originally obtained by virtue of military exploits, and the family affair that the queen was looking for for the three princes was really thoughtful. ”

"War exploits, a family of military generals, one article and one martial arts, what is the queen planning to do, and the emperor will actually agree?" Su Jiao touched her chin, combined with what she had seen in the Gongdou script, she figured out a lot at once.

"The third prince currently has the deepest foundation, and marriage with the big family is an inevitable result, and His Majesty is more concerned about Su Lian at present, so he has to promise the queen to set a candidate for the concubine as soon as possible."

Xiao Huai'an lifted the curtain, and the street in front of the Xiao Mansion had already come outside.

"Ah, don't you say that I almost forgot, as long as Su Lian plays normally, we can rest assured." Su Jiao nodded meaningfully, and after the carriage stopped, she borrowed Xiao Huai'an to get down.

"It's just a pity that Miss Zhang's family is such a good person, and she was pushed into the tiger hole. Then I told her today, is it possible for Tobe to refuse the marriage contract with the third prince? ”

"Impossible, whether it is for the sake of profit, or for the coercion of the queen. Okay, you don't care about these things, go back and rest first. ”

Xiao Huai'an patted Su Jiao's shoulder, Su Jiao raised her head and looked at him for a moment, and finally didn't speak, waving her sleeves casually.

"Okay, goodbye."

On the other side, on the way back, Zhang Yuge briefly sorted out what Su Jiao told him and told Mrs. Zhang. But even if Zhang Yuge said it politely, Mrs. Zhang, who had a bad impression of Xu Rulie today, was even more angry.

"How can this be reasonable, why does the queen have to take my daughter to fill the pit of the third prince, you see what your father is looking for you, I will definitely discuss with your father when I go back, and I should return this matter as soon as possible."

Mrs. Zhang was not angry, and when she got out of the carriage, she almost tripped over her skirt, so Miss Zhang hurriedly helped her, "Mother, don't worry, fortunately, you found out early, you are so angry to discuss with your father, don't be angry." ”

"Mother knows." Mrs. Zhang stood on her feet and entered aggressively, but found that in the hall, Mr. Zhang was holding a blue and white porcelain vase and watching it with great interest.

"You're embarrassed to enjoy the antiquities here, you see what kind of relatives you are looking for Yuge, the third prince is simply a person who can't be trusted, tomorrow you will quickly find a way to mention it to the emperor and withdraw this marriage."

Mrs. Zhang was startled, and the valuable porcelain vase in his hand almost fell to the ground, and when he turned his head, he only saw Zhang Yuge with an embarrassed face and Mrs. Zhang who was angry.

"Xiangru, what are you angry about, the marriage of the third prince was mentioned by the queen mother and Her Majesty, how can you say that you will retreat?"

Saying that, Lord Zhang put down the bottle, walked to Mrs. Zhang's side and sat down, and pressed her shoulder to comfort, "Besides, Yuge is my daughter, and I can't harm her, the third prince is very likely to inherit the throne in the future, and marrying him is not a bad thing." ”

"You," Mrs. Zhang frowned, turned sideways and was about to reason with Master Zhang, when suddenly a eunuch's voice came from outside.

The Zhang family hurriedly went to the courtyard to receive the order, and the eunuch read aloud in his sharp voice, "The queen Yizhi, Miss Zhang's family has a unique heart, is virtuous and virtuous, and orders the marriage of the three princes in the future, as the concubine of the three highnesses." Congratulations to Mr. Zhang. ”

"Weichen, take the order." Zhang Songgao raised his hand to take Yi Zhi, and when he turned his head, he saw Mrs. Zhang sitting in place in despair.

That night, I don't know what the movement of the Hubu Shangshu family was, and it also alarmed the Countess of Yong'an to come, and it took most of the night to stop arguing.

Xiao Huai'an's mansion was a little farther away from there, so Su Jiao didn't hear the news until the next morning, and along with the news, there was also an invitation from the countess.

On the invitation, the countess invited Su Jiao to go to the suburbs to race horses together, as well as Miss Zhang. Su Jiao thought that she would be bored anyway, so she agreed to go, and by the way, she could ask what happened last night.

Riding out of the city, there was a large convoy of vehicles, already waiting on the side of the road.

The carriage led by the head lifted the curtain, and the countess and Miss Zhang were doing it inside, but Miss Zhang's face was a little ugly.

"Today's trip, it's just that we are a few people, so we don't go to the polo field, there is a grassland next to the tea house at the northeast foot, we just went to the green, if you are tired, you will rest in the Wansheng tea house, Mrs. Xiao thinks it's good?"

"Everything is arranged by the countess," Su Jiao nodded, and looked at Zhang Yuge again, "Miss Zhang's family is good." ”

Zhang Yuge's eyes were glazed, obviously distracted, the countess gently pulled her for a moment, and she came back to her senses, "Well, I've seen Mrs. Xiao." ”

Su Jiao was deeply puzzled, but thinking of what Xiao Huai'an said to him yesterday, she already had some guesses in her heart.

Then the carriage followed the convoy to the grassland, just a few days ago Xiao Huai'an taught Su Jiao how to ride a horse, today is the time to show his skills.

Seeing Su Jiao galloping in front of her, the countess followed behind, and couldn't help but admire. "Lord Xiao is handsome, and Mrs. Xiao is also a heroine among women, but it's a pity that I didn't see Mrs. Xiao show her skills that day, otherwise I don't know how many people would be envious."

Su Jiao smiled embarrassedly, if she was really allowed to play that day, I'm afraid the countess would not think so.

After running wildly on the grass for a while, the sun in the morning gradually became scorching, and riding a horse was a very exhausting exercise, and it didn't take long for Su Jiao to feel out of breath.

Although the countess is middle-aged, she is in good spirits, and she still has no intention of stopping after running for so long.

Su Jiao got off the horse and watched the countess run back from a distance with envy, and suddenly remembered that Zhang Yuge was still alone, so she thought about going to see her.

Where the convoy stopped, a simple pavilion was erected, and Zhang Yuge was sitting in it, not knowing what he was thinking, and he didn't even notice that Su Jiao was coming.

"Miss Zhang, what's wrong, why don't you go out for a walk, so that you can feel better." Su Jiao put the horsewhip aside, washed her hands, and came over to sit down next to Zhang Yuge.

"I don't know how to ride a horse, just have fun with Mrs. Xiao." Zhang Yuge shook his head, and the countess just came back on horseback and walked into the pavilion in high spirits.

"Why are you sitting here, but I'm tired, the sun is quite strong outside, so let's go into the tea house and take a rest."

"Okay." Su Jiao nodded, seeing that Zhang Yuge had regained her dejected appearance, she reached out to help her with some sympathy, as if she was afraid that she would be blown away by the wind.

Zhang Yuge came back to her senses and smiled faintly at her, and the two of them entered the tea house, and the countess ordered someone to prepare tea and snacks in the lobby, and they went around to the flowing corridor behind the house to talk.

"I take the liberty of asking, why didn't Mrs. Zhang come out today? And I heard that there was a lot of movement in your house last night, what is it for? ”

Su Jiao swept it and tried her best to take Zhang Yuge to a remote and cool place.

Zhang Yuge pursed her lips and sighed, pulled Su Jiao's hand down and stood still, the weeping willows on her head were floating right above the heads of the two.

"In fact, Mrs. Xiao should also understand that my mother is not very willing to do this family business, but the queen made a will, and my mother was angry. My aunt came to persuade her, and I wanted to take her out with me to relax, but my mother didn't want to, so she called me out alone. ”
