Chapter 139: Disaster is coming
On the second day, the sky was sunny again, the sun was shining, and Suning'er felt very comfortable.
The last time she missed the Qujiang Poetry Club, she later heard someone mention the grand occasion at that time, and she felt a little regretful in her heart.
Speaking of today, in fact, it is a gathering and banquet of a group of talented people, no need to fight, no need to go to the meeting with pressure, she likes it the most.
It's just that without Wanniang's company around me, I always feel that something is missing.
Fortunately, Ye Lanlan will also pass, and she can be regarded as a familiar person.
Without the Zhou family, Su Ningxiang was also much more well-behaved, and the sisters sat in the carriage, until they arrived in front of the Li Guogong Mansion in De'an Renfang, this little ancestor had never been a demon, quietly, and showed a bit of a lady's demeanor.
It was rare to see her so docile, although Suning'er was a little surprised, she was also very relieved. If this little girl is really quiet, it can be pitied, I just hope she can keep this calm and don't cause any embarrassment today.
Before going out, both Zhou and Qi had told them to take good care of the siblings.
Su Ning'er agreed, but as long as she thought of Su Ningxiang's usual behavior, she still couldn't help muttering in her heart, and she couldn't worry about this cousin, afraid that she would accidentally mess around in front of the public.
After all, they are all roommates, and behind closed doors, they make noise at home, even if they make some stumbling blocks, it is only a matter in the boudoir; But once you get out of the house, if you want to make some trouble, it will always be the face of the Su family.
At this point, she admires Zhou a little, and she does a very good job of saving face in front of people.
Suning'er just lifted the curtain, and Su Ningxiang, who had been silent all the way, suddenly had a thought, grabbed the corner of her clothes, and couldn't help but whisper:
"Today, the eldest sister has prepared in advance, the matchmaker invites, they must all be well-educated people, the eldest sister took the poem last time, don't lose your dignity for the Su family this time."
Suning'er smiled and shook her head: "The matchmaker just invited everyone to come over to taste the wine and enjoy the flowers, why should you prepare in advance." ”
"Oh", Su Ningxiang's cheeks on both sides trembled slightly, and said stupidly:
"Also, there is no theme, improvisational poems are the real tricks, the slave family is still a little puzzled, I don't know where the eldest sister plagiarized those poems last time, and it also moved the saint, although it is a poem, it is always unconvincing, the eldest sister still has to be cautious, the slave family and Ah Que don't want to be embarrassed with the eldest sister."
I see.
Suning'er's already moved immediately withered, but she didn't expect that she was afraid of being embarrassed, so she cared about herself so much.
It seems that I am really thinking too much.
Outside the gate of Li Guogong's mansion, horses and chariots were gathering from all directions, slowly stopping, and the crowd of people in various clothes was laughing and walking towards the mansion.
Suning'er got out of the carriage and looked at the bustling crowd, quite surprised: there were many more guests than she expected.
Looking around, I saw Li Squeak and Ye Lanlan holding each other, and greeted them with a smile.
When Ye Lanlan saw her, she was cordial, and she shook her body excitedly, so she couldn't wait to put her hand on her wrist, and complained a little: "Yiniang can let the slave family wait, the slave family and Sister Squeak have been looking forward to it here for almost half an hour before they will look forward to Yiniang." ”
Suning'er looked frightened and replied embarrassedly: "Let the two second mothers wait for a long time, the slave family is deeply disturbed. ”
"It's okay, it's okay", Li Qiqi also smiled and hurriedly said:
"At present, there is a sudden chaos in the north, and all the envoys of the sage Beimu are buried in the Jedi, and my father is about to go on an expedition, which was supposed to stop my mother's poetry meeting, but I got the special approval of the sage, and the palace passed down yesterday to make this poetry meeting more lively, and let the virtuous concubine enter the house to run it personally, no, there are a lot of scholars and literati here today."
Hearing her say this, Suning'er's eyes couldn't help but start looking around, expecting the familiar figure to suddenly appear.
Ye Lanlan looked at her a little absent-mindedly, and immediately realized what she was looking forward to, and whispered in her ear: "In the past two days, many courtiers have played, asking the saint to mourn the Cui family and his son with a national funeral gift. ”
Suning'er's cautious thinking was cold, and Ye Erniang noticed it instantly, and a touch of crimson suddenly appeared on her face.
Just when I was feeling lost, I heard a familiar voice coming from behind:
"On such a cold day, why is Su Yiniang dressed so thinly?"
Suning'er turned around and saw King Qing leading a team of servants standing in front of him.
She was so frightened that she trembled, and hurriedly said, "Your Highness, isn't it?" ”
King Qing grinned coldly: "Cui Yushi is the saint Beimu, who was martyred in the line of duty, and should be buried with a national funeral ceremony. ”
After saying so lightly, he took off the brocade robe he was wearing on his shoulders, handed it to Shuang'er, and said solemnly: "Quickly put it on with your mother." ”
Shuang'er trembled and took the brocade robe and obediently draped it on Suning'er.
Suning'er tiptoed to the side in some fright, and the roots of her ears became hot in an instant.
Ye Lanlan looked forward to it, and inadvertently saw Tao Yunshu and Wei Ruji in the crowd.
The gaze cast over there was not friendly, it was really interesting, and I couldn't help but joke with a smile: "It seems that His Royal Highness can't trust the slave family, and I'm worried that Yiniang will be bullied......"
"Noise", and without waiting for Ye Lanlan to finish speaking, King Qing interrupted her words with a scolding, looked at each other with warm eyes and said to Suning'er: "On this occasion today, I want to be interested in you, and you don't have to worry about anything, just express your heart directly." ”
Suning'er felt warm when she heard it, and her shallow nod should be, and her heart was already full of tenderness.
King Qing looked around at everyone, and saw that the flow of people had almost gathered, so he waved his hand with a few people: "Xiao Saburo stays with this king as a companion, all the little ladies should go in quickly." ”
Su Ning'er glanced at Su Que obliquely, and saw that he looked frightened, and felt pitiful.
Ye Lanlan smiled and grabbed Suning'er's arm again and walked in.
After walking a few steps, he saw King Qing stop Su Que and asked, "Xiao Saburo"
If the Cui father and son are buried with a national funeral ceremony, there will be a lot of distress for Suninger.
If she is obstructed by the state funeral etiquette, even if it will not be as heavy as the death of the emperor and the queen, the marriage date with King Qing will not be agreed until half a year or a year later.
Thinking of this layer, a nameless anger rose in her heart for some reason: Ya, in modern society, if you want to get married, there are too many factors to consider, how can you still be so difficult and dangerous to come to ancient times.
I think it's my own fate, and I can't afford such a good marriage.
However, thinking of Cui Wuniang and Wanniang, the complaints in her heart gradually faded, and she felt that she shouldn't be so narrow-minded, and she looked forward to the Cui family being able to accept this etiquette from the bottom of her heart.
Besides, it is very likely that King Qing's family is secretly manipulating the direction of the wind.
Although she is not transparent about the current situation, she can also make some judgments based on what she has seen and heard these days.
If the father and son of the Cui family were really killed by the Beisi Yamen by the hands left behind in Cangzhou, they must have wanted to take advantage of this to eradicate King Qing's henchmen. If he marries into the Qingwang Mansion, he should have to make more calculations for him.
Today's imperial court, only the business field is full of factions, and many giants in Chang'an City have their own court forces. Therefore, it is not difficult to guess that there are also many parties in the court.
After realizing these dangers, although Su Ning'er couldn't let the Su family follow his intentions for a while, he could understand him a little more.
After all, it is to be a husband and wife, and the husband sings and the wife follows, this rule is actually common in any era.
