Chapter 487: His Little Wine Like a Jewel
Father-in-law and husband-in-law......
Su wine sneered.
"My father said that although my father-in-law and husband were exiled to the frontier, the holy will is unpredictable, and it is difficult to say whether they are really exiled or let them go to the frontier to make contributions. After all, no minister can ride a tall horse and lead an army when he is exiled. ”
This is exile, it is clearly an expedition.
Su Jiu's eyes moved slightly, remembering the allusions he had read in the history books before.
The emperor of the previous dynasty was particularly fond of a prince and wanted him to inherit the throne.
In order to allow the prince to stabilize the court in the future, he deliberately demoted a minister who could stabilize the country to the mountains when he was in power.
In the future, when the prince sits on the throne, he will recall the minister back to the capital as the new emperor.
With such a great grace, the minister must have sworn allegiance to the new emperor.
Su Jiu sat on the big chair, and secretly said If it was really as she guessed, then I don't know which prince in the court can be taken care of by the emperor like this?
But that's not something she should worry about.
The fact that her father and brother are safe is the best news for her.
She was talking to Zhou Baojin, and Zhou Fengxian came out alive.
He was dragged into the prison by Jing Zhaoyin, but Xie Rongjing fished him out.
He happily sat next to Su Jiu, "Xiaojiu, I heard that Xiao Tingchen raided your home last night?" ”
Su Jiu knew that he probably asked with good intentions.
But for some reason, he was so happy to laugh.
It was so happy that she wanted to pound him.
She let out a faint "um".
Zhou Fengxian coughed, his cheeks flushed, and he said softly: "Since the house has been raided, I don't have any silver in my pocket." Why don't you live in our Zhou family, eat and drink spicy, and I will take care of you! ”
It is never just Xiao Tingchen and Xie Rongjing who have thoughts about Su wine.
The little scholar back then, the girl of the Xiao family later, and the current daughter of the Guogong Mansion, he Zhou Fengxian likes it very much!
Su Jiu's face was a little ugly.
What is fostering?
As confused as Zhou Baojin noticed that she was unhappy, he hurriedly stabbed his own brother with his elbow, but was beaten on the head by Zhou Fengxian.
The brother and sister secretly fought, Su Jiu got up, and smiled a little reluctantly, "Don't bother with Gongzi Zhou, I will leave." ”
Zhou Fengxian hurriedly got up and chased after her, "Xiaojiu, you don't have to let go of it, I said that I want to support you, and I don't raise you for nothing, you can be my concubine!" I thought to myself, I really don't have a concubine! ”
Su Jiu's little face stiffened, and his steps were faster.
"Eh, don't go!"
……
Su Jiu left the Zhou Mansion and walked on the long street melancholy.
She hadn't eaten since noon yesterday, and after walking so far, she looked at the steamed bun wonton stalls on both sides of the long street, and couldn't help but touch her hungry stomach.
"Fragrant new buns!"
The stall owner shouted to open the steamer, and the aroma of the meat buns immediately diffused.
Su Jiu couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Want to eat......
A few copper coins were thrown into the stall owner's money box, "Two buns." ”
The person who came was tall and slender, with a handsome and fair face, and a cinnabar mole like a gorgeous evil man, who was not Xiao Tingchen.
Su Jiu hugged his stomach and immediately left with a blank face.
However, she has short legs.
Xiao Tingchen held the hot paper bag and easily caught up with her, "This bun has a thin skin and fresh filling, my sister smells it, this bite is over, the meat is overflowing, and it is very tender......"
Su Jiu covered his ears.
She was very hungry and greedy, but she refused to lose face in front of Xiao Tingchen, so she could only swallow her saliva quietly and not let him find out.
Xiao Tingchen smiled gently, took a bite of the bun, and exclaimed: "It's really delicious!" Sister, look, this meat filling is fragrant and not greasy, the soup is rich, and it melts in your mouth. ”
He finished eating in three or two bites, and shook the remaining meat bun in front of the girl's eyes, "Does my sister eat it?" ”
"I won't eat the food that comes to me!"
"It's okay not to eat, I'll give it to the dog!"
Xiao Tingchen was about to throw the meat bun to the big yellow dog on the street, but was snatched by Su Jiu!
The girl clutched the big meat bun tightly, and there was a look of openness on her little face.
Anyway, he has already lost a lot of face in front of Xiao Tingchen, so why not lose it again?
She was so hungry that she stood on the side of the street and munched on the meat buns.
Xiao Tingchen stared at her for a long time.
The girl did not wear makeup, her face was a little pale, and she deliberately hid behind a wine flag when eating, as if she did not want passers-by to see her.
And her dark curly eyelashes drooped down, hiding the wetness in her eyes.
He is like a jewel of wine, smart and cute since he was a child, how could he ever be so embarrassed?
It's all the fault of the Rong family.
Murderous intent flashed in the dark eyes.
When Su Jiu finished eating, he wiped the juice on the corner of his lips with a handkerchief with a blank face, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
Su Jiu clasped his hands in his wide sleeves, nodded, and shook his head again.
His eyes dodged, and he didn't even dare to look at the man in front of him.
She was afraid to see contempt and ridicule in this man's eyes.
Xiao Tingchen touched her little head, took her hand, and led her into the restaurant next to her.
Su Jiu kept his head down from beginning to end.
She looked at the hands of the two.
The man's palm was wide and rough, holding her little hand tightly, and she could clearly feel the warmth of his palm.
She watched, the tip of her nose inexplicably sour.
When Xiao Tingchen took her upstairs, he suddenly noticed a hot liquid dripping on the back of his hand.
The man's heart sank.
From beginning to end, I didn't dare to look back.
Because he knows how stubborn the girl behind him is, how face-loving, and how fragile she is.
He ordered her a full table of dishes, paid the money, and left.
He still has to enter the palace.
Su Jiu was alone on the table full of dishes, and finally tears rained down.
……
The Royal Palace, the Imperial Study.
Xiao Tingchen stepped into the threshold and saw that the emperor was playing alone.
He asked for peace, and the emperor smiled: "Accompany me to play a game." ”
The two sat opposite each other, Xiao Tingchen fell casually, "Yan Guo didn't believe in his words, tore up the covenant and turned to the West Cicada Girl Country, I heard that the emperor intended to send troops to ask for the guilt, and Weichen wanted to ask for an order." ”
He looked at the chessboard, but the emperor looked at him.
The young man sitting by the window has beautiful eyebrows and fair skin.
It's like that woman.
He said lightly: "The sword has no eyes on the battlefield, and you are young, so I don't agree with you to go on the expedition." ”
"The minister is already in the age of the weak crown, where can he be considered young?" Xiao Tingchen chuckled, "Weichen really wants to ask for the order to go on the expedition and make contributions to the Great Qi, and I also ask the emperor for permission!" ”
The Emperor frowned.
Xiao Tingchen simply got up, knelt down on one knee towards him, and arched his hand: "Please allow the emperor!" ”
The Emperor frowned, "Your temper is so stubborn, like an old man of mine. ”
Xiao Tingchen was silent.
After a long time, the emperor finally relented, "Huai Jin, I don't need you to make meritorious contributions, and I don't need you to kill many people. I will hand over the 100,000 soldiers under Lu Guogong to you, so it's good that you come back alive...... If, if you really have the ability to hit the Yan Kingdom hard, I will crown you as the king with a different surname. ”
Xiao Tingchen raised his eyebrows.
The emperor personally helped him up, "You are a concubine in the Xiao family, can I ask, who is your mother's surname?" ”
