Chapter Forty-Nine: Mother and Daughter Talk

"Has my son been here for more than four months?" As soon as Mrs. Zheng Yejun entered the Chunsheng Palace, looking at the empty palace, although she burned the charcoal basin, she also had to wear a jacket, thinking that this way from entering the Qiongtong Palace to cover three feet of snow, there was a sense of difficult trek in the deep palace, and she suddenly burst into tears, hugged Su Ruhua and said, "Wait for your mother to go back and talk to your father, let him think of a way to take you out!" ”

Su Ruhui was originally full of joy, and was so distressed by her mother, but also couldn't stop the grievances, in the past, when she lived in Su Mansion, she lived in the garden with the best scenery and the best terrain, four personal maids around her, two old grandmothers, plus countless little girls, all revolving around her alone, even the cup for the maid to drink water may be produced by a famous kiln in the previous dynasty, and the style is from the hands of a famous family. In winter, where are the roads that are often taken early in the morning not cleaned, for fear of falling the pearl of the Su family?

"Madame!" Fortunately, at this time, Xiuwan came out to greet Mrs. Zheng Yejun, interrupting the topic of mother and daughter, Mrs. Zheng Yejun hurriedly helped her and nodded, "It's been hard for you this time!" ”

"Where is Madame, Xiuwan still wants to thank Madame and the prince for taking in her parents and elevating her brother!" Xiuwan has been in the palace for several years, so she naturally understands that Su Ruhui has a rare opportunity to see Mrs. Zheng Yejun, purses her lips and salutes with a smile, so she uses the excuse to pack up her things for Su Ruhui and go down.

But I heard a crisp voice: "This sister, wait a minute, why don't I help you clean up together?" ”

Xiuwan turned her head, but saw a girl with a morning cloud bun turned out from behind Mrs. Zheng Yejun, looking like it should be Mrs. Zheng Yejun's maid, but the dress was quite good, obviously the person with face next to Mrs. Zheng, so she nodded with a smile: "Trouble girl!" ”

"Sister Hongluan, have you also entered the palace?" Su Ruhui wiped her hazy teary eyes, and then she saw Hongluan.

Hongluan was angry and funny, and couldn't help but nod her eyebrows and smiled: "My good young lady, it's such a long way from the palace gate to here, although I know that you miss your wife, but you didn't give me a single look, but now I finally see it, otherwise, when I go back to Qingque, they ask, I should cry first!" ”

Su Ruhui smiled embarrassedly, Hongluan is the first proud maid next to Mrs. Zheng Yejun, and she is almost treated as half of her daughter, so Su Ruhui has respected her very much since she was a child, and has always called her sister, at this time, she didn't feel anything, but Xiuwan frowned secretly, and said to Hongluan: "Girl, please come with me." ”

Mrs. Zheng Yejun entered the palace to see her, so naturally it was impossible to hug her as she did at home, so she only brought Hongluan alone, and at this moment both of them entered the inner hall to clean up, leaving the mother and daughter to talk outside.

"Is my mother in good health during this time? What about my father and my three older brothers? Su Ruhui couldn't wait to ask, "By the way, how did the third brother become the prince's companion?" ”

"Don't worry, anyway, the Queen Mother asked me to leave the palace after dinner." Mrs. Zheng Yejun felt distressed and swept a strand of loose hair behind her ear, and sat down on the Hu bed in the hall with her hands, and then explained, "This is the dignity that your second brother earned for your third brotherβ€”do you remember last year's Chinese New Year's Eve, when your second brother won the battle against Ning Guogong's son?" ”

Su Ruhui nodded, the cloud-weaving silk dress she changed into on the day she entered the palace was Su Rujun's reward for winning.

"Rujun is also sixteen years old this year, your father asked him what he meant, whether to get married first or to make some achievements first, he chose the latter, so your father sent him to the west, not long ago Qiu Di invaded, but he made several merits, and he also had a serious official body, and he was a captain of Zhenwei from the sixth grade." Wu Dehou attaches great importance to the distinction between concubines and concubines, and has always been cold to Su Rujun, the only concubine under his knees, but Mrs. Zheng Yejun has a lot of care for Su Rujun, the so-called Wu Dehou asked Su Rujun's meaning, most likely it was mentioned by Mrs. Zheng Yejun, and Wu Dehou will agree, most likely because of the Chinese New Year's Eve incident that this son still has a few moments.

Therefore, the relationship between the brothers and sisters of the Su family has always been good, and after Su Ruhui heard this, she was also happy for the second brother, but she said strangely: "Mother, since the eldest princess of Yiyuan descended to Qiu Di Zuodan, hasn't the western realm always been peaceful?" I listened to my father teach my eldest brother, saying that my Dayong's real heart should be Beirong. ”

Mrs. Zheng Yejun frowned and advised: "You must not say more about these words in the future - it is a big taboo to discuss politics in the harem!" ”

Su Ruhui pursed the corners of her mouth, but seeing her mother's solemn expression, she still responded.

Mrs. Zheng Yejun leaned close to her ear and said something softly, Su Ruhui's apricot eyes widened, and she lost her voice: "What! ”

"Silence!" Mrs. Zheng Yejun's face sank and she said in a low voice!

Su Ruhui came to her senses and hurriedly said, "Mother, this news, this news is really ......"

"It's good that you know it in your own heart, don't make a noise!" Mrs. Zheng Yejun's face was gloomy, "It's just that I pity that person." ”

"Mother hasn't said what the second brother did, the prince reads with him." Seeing this, Su Ruhui quickly changed the topic. Mrs. Zheng Yejun sighed and said: "Just about to continue-Your Majesty saw that there were several young people who made meritorious contributions this time, so he promoted several young people's brothers into the study to accompany the prince, which also meant to encourage the prince, and your second brother was selected here." ”

Su Ruhua said: "Who else is there besides the second brother?" ”

"There is also Wei Yuqing of the Wei family, Duanmu Jin of the Duanmu family, and His Majesty has authorized a white body, what is Gu Liancheng, this person has a little relationship with our family." Mrs. Zheng Yejun said.

Su Ruhui said curiously: "Surname Gu? Who is it? ”

"Count it, you should call him Senior Brother Sheng, he is the disciple of your master Xue Nushi, he is only nine years old this year, and he already has the style of a young man in Xue Nushi! Before the school was not successful, so Xue Nushi has been pressed and not released, on the Double Ninth Festival, this person made a boarding fu in public in the Cloud Tower, the words are beautiful, brilliant and unspeakable, even His Majesty was alarmed, personally summoned him for a long time, and ordered him to be the prince's companion on the spot, and he was the only civilian child in the four new companions. Mrs. Zheng Yejun said with a smile, "I have also read that text, and it is indeed worthy of the identity of a disciple of Xue Nushi!" ”

Saying that, Mrs. Zheng Yejun said angrily: "Look at it, you are generally a disciple of Xue Nushi, and you will know that you can't slack off in the future, right?" ”

"People are disciples in the room, and I have only let the master teach for two months, how can this be compared?" Su Ruhui said coquettishly, "It's just that the master has always had a very high vision, and he was willing to teach me at the beginning, but it was also for my grandfather's sake, if I have the opportunity, I would like to meet this senior brother, but I don't know if people are willing to recognize me as a junior sister!" ”

"Xiao Gu has a good temperament." Mrs. Zheng Yejun said with a smile, "The so-called humble gentleman, gentle as jade, is like him. ”

Su Ruhui was surprised: "Mother has seen him? ”

"My son doesn't know, since His Majesty summoned him, several families in the imperial capital want to recruit him as a son-in-law, although our family only has one daughter, and you have already entered the palace, but there are still a few sisters in your uncle's family who are about the same age as Xiao Gu Caizi, they inquired about the relationship between our family and Xiao Gu Caizi, where didn't they come to the door to support him?" Mrs. Zheng Yejun couldn't help but laugh when she thought of this, "Even Mrs. Yao Guotai personally asked, I really can't refuse, I have to ask for the consent of your master Xue Nushi, and invite Xiao Gu Caizi to meet from a group of wolf-like gatekeepers." ”

"What kind of person is it?"

"Didn't you just say that? Don't look at him a year older than you, it's really good-looking, good-looking, but it's also a headache, you know? The gang of people outside has not been solved yet, the Su family has already fought for it, your cousins Rumo and Ruran have taken a fancy to Xiao Gu Caizi behind the screen, your uncle is having a headache during this time! ”

Mrs. Zheng Yejun couldn't help but smile as she spoke.

Su Ruhui said curiously: "Forget about Cousin Ruran, Cousin Rumo's vision is only about the same as that of the master, and even she just looked behind the screen, and she fell in love with me, senior brother?" ”

Su Rumo is Su Ruhui's uncle, that is, the fourth daughter of Su Wanrun, the Duke of Dingguo, two years older than Su Ruhui, and she was born beautiful, so she has always been very liked by Su Wanrun.

As for Su Ruran, she is the daughter of one of Su Wanhai's brothers, and they are all outstanding girls in the family's generation.

Excellence also means high vision.

For a while, Su Ruhui became interested in herself, a senior brother she had never met.
