Chapter 70: Searching the Palace
"King Zhao is greedy and lustful, this matter is really troublesome." Referring to the matter in front of the palace gate, Su Ruhui also frowned, "It's a pity that Hongluan didn't enter the family tree, and my father and uncle don't value her very much, but the third uncle is not in the imperial capital now, but what's the matter?" ”
Su Wanrun and Su Wanhai didn't value Hongluan, but they didn't take a woman who was born as a commoner and is now a handmaid to heart, although Cui's saved Su Wanze in Zezhou, but from the perspective of the two of them, this is simply the obligation of civilians. And at that time, Su Wanze had already been paid a thousand gold, and Cui's did not take it, which was her own business.
But Cui's hand over his daughter to Su Wanze, this intention is worth scrutinizing. What's more, Su Wanze actually wanted to recognize a civilian woman as a righteous daughter? How is this possible! The gate valve family is the most important bloodline in the world, and Su Wanhai doesn't even care much about his own biological son, let alone let a girl who is not related by blood be included in the family tree.
If it weren't for Su Wanze being a younger brother, and because he was still unmarried because of an incident when he was a teenager, the two elder brothers, Su Wanrun and Su Wanhai, felt a little guilty about this younger brother, and they wouldn't even allow Hongluan to stay in the current Wudehou Mansion. And Hongluan's ability to live a good life in the mansion is also because of Mrs. Zheng Yejun's mercy.
After all, Su Wanrun and Su Wanhai seem to be no different from other slaves and maids, and because of Su Wanze, they may wish to send her away as soon as possible - righteous daughter? Su Wanze, the third son of the Su family, has not married until now, but he has a righteous daughter who is not embarrassed or embarrassed, and Hongluan is also seventeen or eighteen years old, and she is beautiful and beautiful, if the news spreads, God knows what kind of gossip will be brought to Su Wanze!
Su Ruhui sighed in her heart, if the uncle and father had let Hongluan enter the family tree, there would be no such troubles today. Although Su Ruhui is a descendant of the Gatelord, she does not see the difference between the Gatekeeper family and the commoners very seriously, which is influenced by her mother An.
Mrs. Zheng Yejun is the daughter of the late Su Guo Gong, the old Su Guo Gong Cicada was born in the military, and the ancestors of the above two generations have meritorious reputations, not civilians, but they are not a family, let alone a high-ranking gatekeeper.
Until An Chan's generation, when he was a teenager, he coincided with the Beirong offense, which was still the Longhe period, An Chan rose from an inconspicuous small officer to the top with his military exploits, and he fought for decades, and finally the first emperor took pity on the veteran, and gave Gao Jue a few loyal and upright people who had not been crowned marquis.
That's how the title of Duke of Suguo came about.
Dayong's title is precious, in addition to the prince's adulthood, courtiers and remote clans want titles, and the cases of exhaustion and death are only county sons and county men, only the fastest military achievements.
After An Chan won the title of Duke of the country, he was on a par with the head of a family of gate lords in the imperial capital, but because of his lack of background, he was often looked down upon behind his back. This is also the origin of Mrs. Zheng Yejun's shrewd and capable housekeeper when she was a girl - the daughter of the prince of Suguo, her status is not low, but in the eyes of those who value the ancestral origin of the bloodline, the four or five generations of the An family are just commoners, and the genealogy can be traced back to thousands of years upwards, and it is even more impossible to mention than the royal family.
However, the Duchess of Suguo passed away early, leaving An's Hanmo shrewd and capable, and took care of the huge Daguo Mansion in an orderly manner, even in the face of those gate valve families, the daughter of the Duke of Suguo has never suffered half a loss and people can't speak, such a capable woman greatly moved the Qingzhou Su Shangdai family head who was anxious to find a pungent and promising daughter-in-law to control his second son, Guan Xianghou.
The title of Dayong followed the prince of the previous dynasty, and only added the prince to the prince. The title of Marquis of Guanxiang is actually inferior to that of Su Guogong, but he is the patriarch of Qingzhou Su, one of the most prominent and well-known gate valves in Dayong, and the sons-in-law of this kind of family have always only intermarried with families equivalent to the family, such as the generations of Jiangnan Song and Fengzhou Wei.
Although An's won the love of her father-in-law without passing through the door, she was not born in the door after all, and she suffered a lot after passing the door, especially being excluded between concubines. It wasn't until Su Rutie was born that he gained a firm foothold, and because he was not from the gate valve and was scolded by those gate-valve concubines, An's heart was unhappy, when Su Wanze brought back Hongluan, he deliberately tried his best to ignore public opinion and leave Hongluan - of course, Su Wanze is the only person in the Su family who has not despised An's except for Guan Xianghou, which is also very important.
When An Shi teaches his daughter, he naturally does not deliberately emphasize the clear distinction between the so-called gate valve and the commoner - An Shi herself is not a serious family door valve, and she does not disdain it.
Xiuwan straightened up, threw the wooden bucket aside, and served Su Ruhui into the bath, and said, "The slave maid has an idea, but I don't know if it will work." ”
Su Ru said strangely: "Tell me to hear it? ”
"King Zhao's status is noble, a slave who has not yet been married, if he asks for it, it will not only offend King Zhao, but also make the Queen Mother and His Majesty feel that the Su family despises Tianwei. But the so-called state-owned national law, the family has family rules, it is one thing to ask for slaves and maids, but it is another thing to rob a wife......" Xiuwan deliberately emphasized the words "unmarried", Su Ruhui rolled her eyes, and immediately clapped her hands and said: "Okay! That's a good idea! ”
"If it is for Hongluan to promise a marriage, it is best to hurry up and finish worshipping before King Zhao comes to the door to ask for it, it is naturally impossible for my Qingzhou Su to hand over the married slaves, and King Zhao will definitely not dare to make a fuss in Su Mansion to rob people's wives!" Su Ruhui couldn't help but say, "I'll go to the box and choose a set of noodles in a while!" ”
"Slave and maid, Miss Xie's reward!" Xiuwan pursed her lips and smiled, and said to Su Ruhua.
Su Ruhui groaned: "It's just one thing, how should I tell my mother about this idea?" She pondered for a moment and sighed, "I still have to go and ask the prince!" ”
The next day, the weather was fine, and on the first day of the new year, the east glowed brightly, which was auspicious. However, this auspiciousness is only in the former dynasty and in the harem, although it is still full of lights, it is not lively, but it is shrouded in a layer of murderous atmosphere!
Su Ruhua was woken up by Zhou Yi'er a long time ago, when she opened her eyes and saw Zhou Yi'er, she found that Zhou Yi'er's long hair was only pulled at will, and she was still wearing the same outfit as last night, and she couldn't help but be surprised: "What's wrong?" ”
"Do you know that? Something happened in the palace yesterday! Although Zhou Yi'er lowered her voice, she spoke very quickly, Su Ruhui thought that she was talking about Xincairen's miscarriage, although it was said that the queen had issued a gag order, but yesterday Queen Shan was seated three or four, Mrs. Guo, Mrs. County, County Lord, that's more, so many people, how can they all be as strict as anything, especially young daughters like Mrs. Shunzhang County and Mrs. Zheng Yejun are still in the palace, it would be strange if they didn't mention a few words.
As long as it is not too much, even if the queen knows, it can't be anything, in the final analysis, the palace concubine has a miscarriage, and the matter still falls on the queen's head, and there is no shortage of charges for not governing the palace strictly. You must not use this to ask the queen's wives about their sins.
Su Ruhui raised her hand and took a cushion to cushion her waist, half-lying up and said, "I know, but what is my sister anxious about?" ”
"You know you're not in a hurry?" Zhou Yi'er was surprised, "Now everywhere is searching the palace, last night in the middle of the night, oh, no, it was early in the morning when the sky was not dawning, the queen, the concubine, the concubine and the virtuous concubine, with Mrs. Baoluo, Zhuang, Jing, Hui three concubines, knelt outside the Renshou Palace to ask to see the Queen Mother, the Queen Mother heard the news and ordered the Renshou Palace to be no exception, Xiuying and I didn't sleep all night, and we didn't even change our clothes, I didn't expect you to sleep peacefully here!" Get up and change your clothes, and someone will be there in a while! ”
Su Ruhui was frightened: "Search the palace? How do you search the palace? ”
"Don't you know?" Zhou Yi'er didn't have the courage to recruit Xiuwan to dress her, listening to Zhou Yi'er's urging tightly, Su Ruhui didn't have time to pick carefully, and casually pointed to a few homely clothes, or Zhou Yi'er reminded that today is the first day of the New Year, not too plain, so she chose a water-red deep coat with a goose yellow skirt, and pulled a single screw bun, and hurriedly washed up, and then pulled Zhou Yi'er to ask what happened.
Zhou Yi'er only opened her mouth to say one word, and Su Ruhui and Xiuwan both felt a burst of cold air coming up behind them-
"Yesterday, because of Xin Cairen's miscarriage, after the feast was dispersed, the queen and the concubine and others personally took the imperial doctor and the palace people to the Yuanlu Pavilion where the Xin Cai people lived......
