Chapter 22: Rectification
Su Xiyan looked at the group of people behind him, and only felt that his head was incomparably big! She really didn't like living in the same courtyard with so many people.
Only one errand runner was chosen among so many people, named Daqian.
The two rough girls were brought to Ah Chun and Xiao Xia, and they chose a personal companion to serve Xiao Yu, named Swallow, and finally the cook of the Royal Tower.
Originally, she didn't plan to choose another personal guard, Li Mo said that this swallow must be kept, because this is the personal guard specially selected by the general for her......
Swallow's temperament is the opposite of Xiaoyu, and it should be the kind of person who doesn't talk much.
Li said that in the past few days, they would go back to the house to live, come back to serve the next morning, and then move in when the backyard was reorganized.
After a busy morning, Su Xiyan didn't even have the appetite to eat, and a sense of uneasiness that his life was suddenly invaded by strangers hit his heart.........
———————
But I have to say that Gu Qianye's people are extremely efficient, and in about ten days, a small courtyard was simply built in the backyard, and there was a two-story attic.
A small pond was dug in the yard and a lot of fish were placed in it.
According to Su Xiyan's meaning, there are no major changes in other places in Tingyuxuan, but some dilapidated places have been repainted and repaired, and the doors and windows have also been repainted and installed.
Some flowers and plants were planted in the clearing, and the original vines in the cloister were uprooted, and the gardener was spared the grape trellis.
Even the big banyan tree has been well pruned. There are also stone benches under the trees, which have also been replaced.
This look is indeed much more elegant and novel than before!
That's why it's said that this woman is fickle.
Su Xiyan looks very satisfied now, and the previous small grievances have all been swept away.
And the old lady couldn't help it, and asked Su Xiyan to ask questions the day after the mighty construction team of Gu Mansion withdrew.
The people of Su Mansion are really a little confused about what Gu Qianye wants to do now, they secretly sent people to listen to Yu Xuan and looked at it several times, but they were all sent away by people who were guarding not far from the courtyard, they were all people from Gu Mansion, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
When Su Xiyan arrived, the old lady was lying on the collapse and pretending to sleep, and no one else was there today.
Seeing her come in, the old lady didn't talk much nonsense and went straight to the topic: "Five girls, come, come and sit at Grandmother's." ”
As soon as Su Xiyan sat down, the old lady couldn't wait to ask, "How did you meet General Gu?" Why did he do this? ”
Why? I'm afraid I really have to ask the original owner of her body, anyway, she hasn't seen Gu Qianye since that time.
However, she had already thought of her words on the way here, so she began to ramble nonsense:
"When I was in Zhuangzi, I once met General Gu by chance and treated him..."
The people of the Su Mansion didn't dare to ask Gu Qianye, she just made it up.
The old lady frowned slightly, "Then why didn't you say it before, how could he think of repairing the yard for you?" ”
What the old lady was worried about was that if General Gu took a fancy to her granddaughter and saw that she didn't live well and came to hug her upset, it would be difficult to do it. She thought that Su Fu did not have any ability to reason with Gu Qianye.
Su Xiyan pretended to explain: "My granddaughter didn't know that he was General Gu, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, I may have seen my granddaughter by accident." ”
She pretended to think for a while and said, "As for repairing the courtyard, it should be the reward for her granddaughter's treatment?" ”
"Hmm..."
The old lady breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "So it makes sense." ”
Gu Qianye's reputation in the capital is not good, no matter how much he has contributed to protecting this land, it is not as loud as these folk rumors, and it is said that several women's corpses are carried out in his backyard every year.
It is also said that there was an official who was destroyed by him overnight because he offended him, and even the emperor turned a blind eye to this.
But despite this, if you can talk to him, it will undoubtedly be a good thing for the Su family.
The old lady has been looking at this for the past few days, Gu Qianye should have some meaning to her granddaughter, otherwise why would she give it away and build a yard.
When Su Xian came back from the court this morning, he mentioned to her that General Gu would go to the horse club in a few days, and the queen mother personally invited her.
Thinking of this, the old lady put on a loving look, took Su Xiyan's hand and said:
"You're going to be in time in a few days, you're a big girl, don't lock yourself in the yard all day, go out and walk around more, it's time to prepare a home."
And what is it? That's right, a woman in this era is considered an official adult when she celebrates her fifteenth birthday.
I'm going to get married and have children......
Su Xiyan was a little worried, she had never talked about a boyfriend until she was twenty years old before, and she hadn't even touched a boy's finger, but her body was only fifteen.
"Grandmother, grandmother, granddaughter is still young... I don't want to get married so early..."
"What nonsense!" The old lady was a little upset.
"After the fifteen-year-old birthday, you are already an adult, and your grandmother gave birth to your father at the age of sixteen, and the man should marry the woman, which is not up to you!"
Su Xi's words knotted, what can I do, I guessed in my heart, she suddenly had the idea of escaping from Su Mansion, anyway, these people are her real relatives, she has been lonely since she was a child, besides, the people in Su Mansion don't treat her much to see herself, if she didn't have some ability, it is estimated that she would have been bullied all over her body.
Seeing that Su Xiyan didn't speak, the old lady said unhappily: "Don't give me those messes, there is a horse club competition the day after tomorrow, which was proposed by the queen's mother, originally only the eldest son and eldest daughter of the second-grade and above officials' families could attend, you also go with you, there are so many people, they won't notice you, I'll go and talk to your mother, you can prepare for these two days!" ”
Su Xiyan was helpless, and nodded as if resigned to her fate, she didn't have the ability to fight against this Su Mansion now...
After returning to Tingyuxuan, Su Xiyan sat on the stone bench under the tree, picked up the tea on the stone table, took a sip, and asked the little fish standing behind him:
"When was my birthday?"
Xiao Yu looked at her young lady in disbelief,
"Girl, have you forgotten your birthday? Xiaoyu thought you were getting better in the past few months..."
Su Xiyan glanced at her angrily,
"I've forgotten all the things in the past, haven't you been doing well lately?"
Xiao Yu grinned and said: "The girl was born in the sixth day of November, today is the third day of the new year, and you will be in time for three days!" ”
"Three days... It was the day after the end of the club. ”
All right... Su Xiyan wanted to change the subject, the escape plan, and wait for her ability to talk about it.
"What does the Jockey Club do?"
She loves to ask Xiaoyu if she doesn't know anything now, she thinks Xiaoyu is the search software in her mobile phone, and she knows everything.
"Girl! Did the old lady let you go to the Jockey Club! ”
Xiaoyu seemed to be very happy and hurriedly gave Su Xi a popular science, saying:
"Let's put it this way, the Jockey Club is one of the few grand events for men and women in the capital, although it is called the Jockey Club, it is just a reason, Miss can also be regarded as a blind date meeting, many high-ranking families want to see people at this time."
"Blind date conference? I don't want to go... I don't want to get married that early. ”
Su Xiyan looked at Xiaoyu aggrieved and desperate.
Xiao Yu said disappreciably: "Don't be afraid, girl, the slave will bet with you, as long as you don't want to." No one dares to approach the girl, so you can relax and watch the excitement! ”
Su Xiyan didn't understand where Xiaoyu's confidence came from.
"Why? Do I still have the skills? ”
"Oh, girl, you're really cranky. I'm going to help the swallows carry things, I'll go and get busy first, and you can play by yourself. ”
After saying that, he swished~ and ran away...
