Chapter Ninety-Nine: On Peach and Plum

"The fifth brother is young, and he speaks on a whim, why does Miss Su want to be so outside? Maybe he's regretting it now. Gan Lin just smiled lightly and said, "Where is Miss Su going?" ”

"Two days ago, the palace maid around the courtiers was sick, the queen mother took pity, and let the family send two maids who had served before, at this time they were cleaning, and it was a mess, so they drove the courtiers out and turned around, and the courtiers thought that there seemed to be a peach forest in the northeast corner of Renshou Palace, and wanted to go there to go around, and fold two branches back to insert the bottle." Su Ruhui said with a decent smile.

Hearing this, Gan Lin suggested: "If you insert a bottle, there are many flowers in Lin Yuan that bloom very well in this season." Seeing that Su Ruhui only smiled and didn't say anything, she immediately understood, the original palace maid around Su Ruhui fell ill, and now the two newcomers are cleaning up the house, and there is not even a small yellow door around them, so it's just a matter of walking around in Renshou Palace, she is a person raised under the queen mother's knees, but if she goes to other places, it will be embarrassing, so she said, "Lone has never seen the peach blossoms of Renshou Palace, if Miss doesn't give up, why don't you go and see it together?" ”

Su Ruhui didn't dare to refuse, nodded, and the two walked slowly along the palace road.

"Prince, what's going on?" Su Ru smiled dignifiedly, and walked at the proper distance from Gan Lin, but his mind was racing, guessing Gan Lin's intentions.

The candidate for the crown princess has been determined, and it has only been these two years of work, Gan Lin is already sixteen years old, and he doesn't have to be a vassal because he is the prince, otherwise I'm afraid that even the big wedding will be done.

And after twenty-six years of Changtai, everyone knows who the crown princess will be.

It's not a good thing to be close to Gan Lin at this time!

Over the years, Gan Lin went to Renshou Palace to ask for peace, and often met Su Ruhui and others, and they were polite to each other, even though sometimes the prince would ask Su Ruhui for some news, but since he followed Changtai to the court at the age of twelve, there was no need to do so. So twenty-eight years after Changtai, Su Ruhui and Gan Lin did not have more intersections, and they were a little surprised by the prince's approach.

Su Ruhua guessed, and said coldly: "Miss Su, Brother Tuogu will bring you a letter." ”

"Huh?" Su Ruhui was taken aback, she was shocked that it was not that Su Rufeng was also a person who was about to get married, but she was so Meng Lang, who regarded the crown prince as a messenger, but thought that something big had happened in her family! Gan Lin caught a glimpse of her face that changed instantly, knew it, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, don't worry, this letter is not a bad thing for Gu Xian to see." ”

Su Ruhui breathed a sigh of relief, she took the letter and put it away first, although it was inconvenient to read it on the spot, but she still couldn't help but ask: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I don't know what my brother said in the letter?" ”

"It's Ling Zun who wants to find a virtuous wife." Gan Lin said cheerfully.

When Su Ruhui heard that this was the case, she immediately relieved herself, but then wondered: "The elders and young are orderly, but how can the brothers tell the courtiers about their marriage?" ”

"Your two elder brothers have made great contributions in the Northern Expedition, especially your second brother, his father promised to marry him, the beginning of the year is the thirty-third year of Changtai, and another group of show girls have entered the palace, Zi'e feels that you are in the palace and wants you to pay attention to it." Gan Lin smiled faintly, "If you want to look good, let Wu Dehou ask for a decree." ”

"The third brother is so ......" Su Ruhui was busy making a fussy expression, she couldn't think of any words to describe her brother for a while, she couldn't cry or laugh, but more of a sense of powerlessness, "What's wrong with Your Majesty giving you a marriage?!" Besides, in such matters, how can you allow your courtiers to put their beaks in their beaks? ”

Su Ruhui secretly gritted her teeth in her heart, and the next time Mrs. Zheng Yejun entered the Hajj, she would definitely sue her fiercely, lest Su Rufeng and the prince have a good relationship, and gradually get carried away, and do all kinds of foolish things!

Su Rujun made great contributions in the Northern Expedition, Changtai asked him to marry him after he was not married, and promised to marry him, there are many people who know about this matter, if it is not for Su Rujun is a concubine, such as Qingzhou Su is a first-class gate valve who disdains to marry his daughter-in-law to him, and Su Wanhai is a little disdainful if he is not a concubine, and Su Ruhui will not have a second sister-in-law until now.

Originally, after the end of the Northern Expedition, Changtai had already begun to look for a marriage partner, but at this time, Rui died......

Su Rujun Ding was relieved of his post, and the marriage could not be mentioned, although he can be regarded as Dayong's young talent today, but he is not a first-class romantic figure, Changtai has every opportunity, and he forgot about it in a few days. Therefore, Su Rujun has been idle at home, and it was not until recently that Su Wanhai remembered to find an opportunity to mention this matter tactfully in front of Changtai-

Su Wanhai said very implicitly, but he just asked Changtai about his concubine's marriage, but Changtai was stunned for a long time, and only remembered that he had heard that there was a young military general who was brave and good at fighting, and even made meritorious contributions, and promised to marry him on a whim.

Changtai asked in detail, I heard that Su Rujun Ding has been at home since the expiration of the Shoulu period, and immediately understood that Su Wanhai's purpose was not to let himself get married, but to get back the original position for his son, he had a good impression of Su Rujun, so he ordered Su Rujun to reinstate the official, as for the marriage he promised was just a trivial matter, Changtai ordered to write it down left and right, and wait for the draft next year, and pay attention to one for Su Rujun.

This is a great honor, of course, this refers to Su Rujun personally, and such an honor is a bit chicken for the Su family. As the first-class gate valve of Dayong, the Su family is very cautious in marrying, just looking at Mrs. Zheng Yejun, the dignified daughter of the Duke of Suguo, the second daughter-in-law personally selected by Guan Xianghou, and the father-in-law who married into the door to support him, he has also suffered so many grievances, how high the Lintel of the Su family is!

If Changtai refers to a show girl who knows etiquette and taste, it doesn't matter, if Changtai refers to a Hedong lion...... What's more, Su Rujun is not born to the An family in the end.

Su Rufeng was worried about his mother and family, and wanted Su Ruhui to prepare early, this heart was understandable, but what did he do!

Su Ruhui secretly gritted her teeth, feeling that her cunning third brother seemed to be going back more and more.

Gan Lin listened to her incoherently and gritted her teeth to complain about Su Rufeng, and couldn't help laughing: "Zi'e is called Lone's companion, it is like a sibling, Miss Su doesn't have to worry, in fact, the family's worries are very clear to the father and the orphan, at that time, the father will ask the queen mother to summon Mrs. Zheng Yejun to look at it, Mrs. agrees, and the father will make a will." Zi'e wrote this letter also to let Miss Su look at Lingtang earlier, so as not to be restrained by Mrs. in front of the queen mother, and besides, it is difficult to see the character of the person just by looking at it in a hurry. ”

Gan Lin's words were reasonable, Su Ruhua couldn't help but thank him seriously, and replied: "The third brother is also too eager, the draft is for the coming year, what is he doing when he delivers the letter so early?" The matter ...... The next time my mother enters the palace, just say a word to the courtiers. He also apologized to Gan Lin for Su Rufeng.

The prince didn't care much about being treated as a messenger, and at this time, there was a sweet fragrance in front of him, and a touch of pink appeared in front of the two of them, but it was the peach forest that arrived.

"Huh? Is there such a view in Renshou Palace? Although Gan Lin grew up in the palace, he didn't know that in the Renshou Palace, which was full of pine and cypress peonies, a large number of peach blossoms were planted.

Su Ruhui also felt a lot better, and said: "The courtiers heard the palace maids around them accidentally mention, the last time the flower party, Xu Xiaoyi once sang a song, there is a bright apricot burning forest in the middle, and there is also an apricot forest downstairs in Hanyuan, but the courtiers always feel that the apricot blossoms are too gorgeous, or the peach blossoms are lighter." ”

"Miss Su likes peach blossoms?" Gan Lin raised his head, gently stroked a peach branch, and asked with a smile.

Talking to the prince, you can't be as casual as in front of Gan Ran, Su Ruhui paused for a moment before saying, "...... Be! ”

"I remember that few people in the palace concubines will say that they like peach blossoms." Gan Lin said slowly, "The crazy catkins go with the wind, and the light peach blossoms flow by the water." Since Du Shi wrote this sentence in the previous dynasty, people mentioned that although the peach blossom general road is beautiful in color, it has a frivolous character, especially women, and they are reluctant to say that they like it. ”

Gan Lin suddenly said such a thing, which surprised Su Ruhui, she thought about it seriously and said with a smile: "The prince said the words of the peach blossoms in the previous dynasty, but the courtiers have heard another rhyme: the trees are full of delicate and red, and the ten thousand branches of Dancai are scorching in spring. When it is a thousand years old, it will show the world to make chemicals. ”

Without waiting for Gan Lin to speak, Su Ruhui smiled and said: "In fact, the courtiers not only like peach blossoms, but also the apricot blossoms are beautiful, and the courtiers are very happy when they see it." The so-called peach blossom is light and thin, but it is just a sentence imposed by literati and ink writers, and the flowers bloom and fall from the fragrance, but what does it have to do with character? Humane plum blossoms are loyal, not afraid of the cold and bloom, but the plum blossoms, because only one of them blooms in the ice and snow, and has won countless praises and attention for thousands of years, but I don't know that the peach blossoms bloom in March, and the purple and red compete for spring, is not another kind of courage? ”

Gan Lin didn't expect her to say such a thing, but she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Competing for spring with all the purple and red is another kind of courage?" Su Ruhua, but the warm spring in March, blooming at this time, does not need to face the severe cold, and there are many flowers to ridicule each other, how can you need courage? ”

Su Ruhui didn't notice that the prince suddenly changed his title, and said calmly: "Prince, the three springs are warm, the flowers are in full bloom, the purple and red places, and even the color of the peony are a little dimmed for no reason, the spring is too full, who cares about the peach blossoms?" And when the plum blossom opens, the flowers wither, only it is unique, no need to be charming, everyone's eyes are focused on it, if the plum blossom is placed in the three spring flowers, with its color and its fragrance its shape, can it be recited through the ages? Could it be that the latter Ling Han is courageous to open up, and the former dares to compete with all the flowers, and even bloom with the Kao peony, without fear among the flowers, is it not courage? ”
