Chapter 47: The best of both worlds
Sima Qu has always been indecisive, and in the face of this kind of two-sided attack, he really can't think of a countermeasure for a while.
His face was full of helplessness, and he wanted to speak several times and stopped.
In the middle of the sound, he broke free of Su Xiaoniang's hand and walked in the direction of the carriage. As he walked, he said: "Since this is the case, then I will ask someone to carry a letter to the General's Mansion, saying that I am seriously ill and cannot stay and cannot attend the banquet." ”
Su Xiaoniang and Zhong Xiaoniang also followed quickly, and no one wanted to take a step slow.
The two said in unison: "Husband, I can't help it." ”
It would be such a tacit understanding, and the two glared at each other with disgust for this tacit understanding.
Zhong Xiaoniang said hurriedly: "Husband, this General Chu is a celebrity beside His Majesty. If you are like this, will you not refute his face, and he will definitely be displeased in his heart. The concubine was still wondering if she could climb so close. If the husband is like this, I am afraid that this matter will be strangled in infancy. Even if you don't care about this layer, it's not harmful to your husband's career, isn't it? ”
Cheap. People, I just said that why you have to fight with me in vain, it turned out that it was also Chu Nanxuan's idea.
When Su Xiaoniang heard this, she was so angry that she scolded in her heart.
Sima Qu turned around and asked in surprise, "Climb relatives?" For whom? Grandma? ”
"The four golden flowers of our Sima Mansion are all out and down, and no one in Luoyang City knows about them. No matter who it is, as long as you can climb such a family affair, isn't it also for the glory of Sima Mansion? Zhong Xiaoniang didn't dare to find out her true intentions, and deliberately pulled out a few girls to cover up.
Sima Qu thought for a moment, and felt that what Zhong Xiaoniang said was not completely unreasonable, and said: "You are right, the year of Guan Sheng will be the year of the year, and it is time to get married." Her biological mother is the daughter of the Yongzhou Thorn Shi Ling family, and she is also the daughter of my Sima Mansion. When I have the opportunity one day, I will bring up this matter with General Chu with this old face. ”
As soon as he said this, Su Xiaoniang and Zhong Xiaoniang's faces changed.
The two racked their brains to plan for their daughter, never thinking that they were making a wedding dress for her.
Zhong Jiayun, you must be calm, you must be calm, you must not mess with yourself at this time. He Sima Qu can't be relied on, so I'll rely on myself. In any case, you must fight for a good marriage for your mother-in-law. In this way, I can completely raise my eyebrows.
Zhong Xiaoniang comforted herself and asked herself not to be angry.
Su Xiaoniang was not as calm as her, and hurriedly hugged and said, "Husband, you can get a bowl of water to serve on the level." Ning'er is also your own child, why don't you want to find a good marriage for Ning'er? ”
"What crazy are you talking about, how old is Ning'er? You are not ashamed, Ning'er still has to save face! And this eldest sister and sister are still waiting for the boudoir, why are you in a hurry? ”
Sima Qu's words made Su Xiaoniang speechless, and she jumped into the carriage on her own initiative with the support of Mother An's mother.
After a while, she lifted the carriage curtain, stretched her head out, and said a little stubbornly: "Husband, anyway, you promised to take the concubine to the general's mansion for a banquet, you are the concubine's body, you can't lose your words, the concubine has to go today." Ning'er, don't come up yet. ”
If it's not good to grind and soak, then she might as well come hard, it's a big deal to come back from the banquet and be snubbed by Sima Qu for a few days.
This general's mansion, she really has to go. Seeing that Chenglong's son-in-law was about to fly, she had no choice but to work harder.
She took advantage of Sima Qu's inattention, and threw Zhong Xiaoniang a smug look.
Sima Dai Ning heard this, and with the support of Orange and Zi, she also got into the carriage.
Sima Qu and Zhong Xiaoniang looked at each other, as if they were waiting for the other party to say what they wanted to hear.
Such a stalemate in this matter is not a way to go, Zhong Xiaoniang gritted her teeth and could only choose to retreat.
"Husband, if we don't go together, it's a good idea of both worlds."
Zhong Xiaoniang chose to retreat, but not completely, no matter what, she would not give up the opportunity to go to the banquet this time.
Of course, she didn't plan to stop Su Xiaoniang from going, if Su Xiaoniang didn't go, wouldn't the good show she carefully prepared for Su Xiaoniang die young. The reason why she insisted so much was also to make things seem more logical.
As soon as her words fell, before Sima Qu could react, Su Xiaoniang hurriedly said, "No...... This...... How can this carriage be so small, how can so many people be seated? ”
"Why can't you sit down? Just squeeze it. Sima Qu turned his head and yelled at Su Xiaoniang, "Jia Yun, without further ado, let's hurry up and get in the car." ”
It seems that Sima Qu agrees with Zhong Xiaoniang's two plans.
The three of them squeezed into the modest carriage and sat down side by side in two rows.
The coachman got into the seat of the carriage, waved his whip, and began to drive the carriage in the direction of the general's palace.
The accompanying maids and women, holding congratulatory gifts, trotted behind the carriage.
The atmosphere in the carriage was extremely tense, a little tense, and although no one made a sound, it was still filled with thick fire. Medicinal taste.
Zhong Xiaoniang and Su Xiaoniang have been staring at each other fiercely, and their displeasure is written on their faces.
Although the carriage walked on the flat and wide street, it would also brake sharply from time to time due to pedestrians or obstacles. As a result, the people in the carriage swayed from side to side, leaning forward and backward.
"Oops! My feet, who stepped on my feet? Su Xiaoniang's screams and whinings broke the original calm in the carriage.
"Aunt Su, I'm sorry! Dai didn't mean it, it was the bump in the carriage that caused it. Sima Daiyuan grinned awkwardly and said with some embarrassment.
"I'll just say that this carriage can't fit so many people! It's not that I don't believe it, it's like it making meat buns, it's uncomfortable to die. My clothes were freshly made, and they were covered in dust......"
Sima Qu didn't take Su Xiaoniang's complaint too seriously, but just asked the coachman to steer the carriage a little slower.
The road was bumpy and crowded, and the carriage finally stopped at the gate of the general's mansion, and the maids and ladies each welcomed their respective masters off the carriage.
Today, the gate of the general's mansion is full of traffic, people come and go in an endless stream, and the courtyard at the entrance is full of lights, which is very lively and festive.
The hussar general Chu Minghong and the hussar general's wife Yao Yunmeng stood at the door in full costume to greet the guests who came to the banquet.
As soon as Sima Qu got out of the carriage, a colleague came forward to greet him, and this person was Huo Qilin, the general of Huo.
Huo Qilin bowed his hand and said with a smile: "Lord Fu Yin, don't come unharmed!" ”
Sima Qu hurriedly bowed his hand and saluted back: "General Toho's blessing, everything is fine with the contemptible!" General Huo is well, who is this beautiful young lady? ”
General Huo replied in a somewhat rough voice: "This is my beloved daughter Huo Xirou." ”
Huo Xirou smiled and said, "Lord Fu Yin, it's okay!" ”
Although Huo Xirou is the daughter of a high-powered Huo Qilin, after all, she has no official or crown, so she should salute Sima Qu.
"Miss Huo has a moth brow, a clever smile, she really has the face of the country, the general has a woman like this, she is really envious of others!" Sima Qu praised Huo Xirou with beautiful words, which was regarded as a compliment to Huo Qirin.
Although Huo Xirou does not have the appearance of a country, she loves to laugh, and she has a smile on her face anytime and anywhere, a very comfortable smile. Sima Qu's praise is not too exaggerated.
