077 What is the intention?
The three generations and four people in Sufu looked at each other at the table of noodles. Although the emperor held a Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace, because he was sympathetic to the rare reunion of the Su family throughout the year, he took the deputy commander on duty and let Su Ji come back for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, but Fang Xing was not there, and there were still some regrets here.
"Father is hungry?"
"I'm not hungry, I'll eat later."
Fang Xing and Tong Yao looked at each other and smiled when they heard them outside the door, they still hoped that Fang Xing would come, and no one would say anything, fortunately, Fang Xing would never give this great time to Ye Shangshu's family.
"It's too late.."
"Wake up?"
"It's not too late, it's not too late, it's just served, sit down."
Su Hou Ye waved his hand at Fang Xing, and Su Zhan directly got up and pulled out the chair for Fang Xing, seeing that General Su and Hou Ye were not ordinary happy, with a smile on their faces, they took the box in the hand of the nursery rhyme.
"You sit."
"Huh? I've eaten .."
"Sit down, that's for you."
Su Hou Ye has spoken.. Tong Yao looked at Fang Xing shyly, only waiting for her to nod, then sat down happily, Su Mansion specially reserved a place for her, which made her very moved, and some were embarrassed by the dissatisfaction when Ah Jiu spoke to the Su family when she first arrived in Yan'an City.
"This is the cup I sold, and this is my own rosebud lip balm. For my aunt and uncle. ”
"Sent to me?"
General Su was very moved, and couldn't wait to open the big box, in which lay eight hammer pattern glass cups, the mouth of the cup is specially painted with gold, if you use it to drink tea, it can set off the crystal brilliance of the color of the tea soup. The rose paste is in a shallow, painted tin can, and when opened, it is sweet just by smelling it.
"Xing'er is really sensible, unlike your brother."
Su Zhan looked at Fang Xing quite aggrievedly, but he was happy in his heart, watching his mother force General Su to cover the box, he looked at it for a while, I was afraid that this dish would be cold.
"Give."
"Thank you, grandfather."
Su Hou Ye sent five red envelopes, Xu was that they specifically wanted Hou Ye to listen to Fang Xing's words, and deliberately did not thank him, and the nursery rhyme looked at Su Ji without opening his mouth, so he silently accepted it.
"Eat, father."
"Okay."
Su Hou Ye gave the first chopsticks to Fang Xing, Su Zhan and General Su looked at each other and smiled, since their family went to the border pass, the Spring Festival every year is the most uncomfortable day for them, this is good, it will be fine in the future.
"Xing'er has also been named a prince, our Su family is too popular, Su Watchman, you have to protect your sister from time to time, father, son want to let Su Watchman not go to the border next year, so Xing'er has something to do... There can also be someone who closes the door and talks.."
"Uncle is too worried, you are alone at the border, and we are always worried in Yan'an City."
They also heard about Aunt Lan, and sometimes Fang Xing wondered if her temperament was because she had no relationship with mother and daughter in both lives, but she didn't need someone to whisper, it wasn't like her.
"Don't worry, general, the master has me."
"Then there will be Lao nursery rhyme for you, try the dumplings I made."
The nursery rhyme was embarrassed to bite the dumplings that Mrs. Su caught, Fang Xing was really worried about her, I really didn't know what her stomach was made of, and she could still eat it again after eating it for an afternoon.
The room was warm, Fang Xing saw that General Su was holding back tears in his eyes, he may have thought of many years ago, he did not have Su Ji, his mother and sister were also alive, and when the family talked and laughed and ate Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Fang Xing swallowed the dumplings in his mouth and did not say anything.
"Father.."
"Huh? By the way, this is my uncle's own fabrication, for the two of you. ”
General Su blinked his eyes, took out two red rope bracelets from his arms, made of the simplest cross knots, and wore a small black onyx bead in the middle, Fang Xing took it with a smile, and asked the nursery rhyme to help her put it on.
"When my aunt was at the border, I heard from Ji'er that she said in a letter that you like to wear plain clothes, so I made two sets to see if the color was okay."
"Thank you, aunt."
"Nursery rhyme, I don't know what you like, I went out today and bought a bracelet, don't dislike it."
"No, don't dislike it, thank you, ma'am."
The nursery rhyme really didn't expect her to have it, so she took off the phoenix blood jade bracelet she was wearing on her hand and threw it on the table at will, and put it on the table that Mrs. Su gave her.
"Give."
"Thank you, cousin."
Fang Xing took the bone hairpin sent by Su Zangxiang, slowly lowered his head, and his clear eyes sparkled. In the past, she only felt that since it was a gift, it had to be the most expensive and the best to express her heart, and it turned out that the boxes of treasures rewarded by the emperor could not be worth the bracelets made of several ropes of General Su.
"Fang wake up! Nursery rhyme! ”
It was a little late, Bai Yuxiu's shout came from the courtyard, and the nursery rhyme jumped up like a spring, and she didn't realize why she ran out to meet him so happily, or because she heard General Su always talk about the border pass, and she really couldn't arouse her interest.
"The Son of the World is here."
"I've seen Master Hou, I've seen General Su, Madam, the Grand Commander."
Bai Yuxiu was still wearing court clothes, and he was puzzled for a moment after reporting this pile of names, as General Su said, the current Su family is too popular, although Su Hou Ye has left the court, his prestige is still there, General Su controls one side of the power, Su Zhan is in charge of the palace in and out, Fang Xing's reputation among the people is also excellent now, and there are two cash cows of the Glass Pavilion and the Imperial Wind Division, who can get this one..
"What's the matter?"
"The Chinese New Year's Eve banquet in the palace is too boring, so I thought about coming out to find Fang Xing to play, can it... Hou Ye? ”
Marquis Su was stunned for a moment, although Fang Xing had lived in Su Mansion for a few days, he was used to being free, and he never needed his head to do what he wanted, and the prince of the world asked Fang Xing like this, and he also looked over, only to suddenly feel that he had a lot of weight in Fang Xing's heart.
"Okay.. Don't drink too much and stay safe. ”
"Great, wake up, let's go."
Bai Yuxiu said and went to pull Fang Xing, the Su family had finished the meal, and they had chatted for a long time, Su Zhan helped her pack up the gifts she had received, and nodded at her reassuringly, but Mrs. Su remembered something and stopped them and asked.
"Tomorrow is the first day of the new year, and all officials with rank in Beijing will enter the palace, wake up..."
"I still want to go to court?"
Fang Xing was choked, although the first day of the Lunar New Year was only for all officials to worship the emperor, not the previous court meeting, but she was a woman in the end, and although she had a good reputation among the people, the court officials didn't like her very much, and they discriminated against women.
"Of course, the emperor watched me leave, just let me take your court clothes with me, Yunjinfang in Jinling is easy to drive out, let's go..."
"Then the three of us will go, and my grandfather and uncle will rest early."
"Go ahead."
After Fang Xing left, General Su's brows tightened, Marquis Su had the same worries as him, other families are children who are as productive as possible, but they are not like this, they are suspicious and uneasy about the emperor's elevation of Fang Xing, I don't know what the high Son of Heaven wants?
If it is said that the most favored woman in the harem, the queen, Concubine Ning, and the concubine are comparable, but Fang Xing doesn't think that the emperor really loves which one, if he really loves the prince of the concubine, he will not set up another woman who is only in her early thirties as the queen, and I don't think why the queen has no heirs, as long as she is there, the right minister will not favor the prince or Bai Yuqi. If it is said that the emperor loves Concubine Qi Wang Ning, then the concubine will not be today's holy favor.
Or the minister of the humerus who said the emperor's mouth, the king of Anbei who guarded the border pass of the northern frontier, General Su of the Haoyue border pass, General Lin of the Xuanyuan border pass, and Zhou Guogong who guarded the border pass of Western Qi, that is, the maternal grandfather of the prince, and looked at where their family members were, they knew that they were not as trusting as the emperor said, and Fang Xing understood that the rise of her and Su Zang was inseparable from the prince's marriage to the daughter of Zuo Xiang, and the emperor wanted to check and balance, then the Su family was the best candidate, because they would never fall to the prince, and there was also the temptation of the earliest emperor, He was also worried that Fang Xing would fall to Bai Yuqi, causing the balance to be unbalanced again.
"Good New Year."
"Fang Xing, Happy New Year with nursery rhymes."
On Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets and alleys are still brightly lit, the streets keep passing through the lion dance procession, many people will go out to see the excitement, and those vendors will set up stalls to make more money, causing Bai Yuxiu's carriage to be difficult to move at all, and the three of her were afraid that Yan Yun would wait too long in this small restaurant, so they ran over.
"Is this place viable? This son was decided early in the morning. ”
"Not bad."
Nursery rhymes are rare to praise Bai Yuxiu, this restaurant is not big, but you can just see the bustle of the street coming and going, a few pots of good wine have been waiting on the table for a long time, four people sit casually, drink the first cup of sake of the new year.
"Qing Huan may not be able to come out today.."
Yan Yun has a little regret, Bai Yuxiu is not allowed to spend Chinese New Year's Eve with Wang Ye every year, they are all entering the palace to see the boring dancing Ji, it is better to drink so happily, because Old Master Yan also hopes that Yan Yun can make more friends, fortunately, Fang Xing and Bai Yuxiu are not fox friends.. And with Yan Che's new wife here this year, it will be easy for him to come out, but Lin Qinghuan's family is different.
"Yes, Qing Huan is so easy to be with his brother and sister-in-law, there are still many small ones this year, so naturally they can't come out, Fang Xing, what I said before is right, Master Lin is sure enough.."
"What happened to my father?"
"Oh my God.."
Lin Qinghuan suddenly appeared at the window, so frightened that Bai Yuxiu almost threw the wine glass in his hand, only to blame that there were too many people on the street, Lin Qinghuan had already come out late, so he simply flew over lightly, and as soon as he arrived, he heard Bai Yuxiu gossiping here.
"Happy New Year, wake up."
"So are you."
Fang Xing smiled at Lin Qinghuan, the smile was so moving that Lin Qinghuan's heart jumped, and he looked at Fang Xing blankly, Bai Yuxiu couldn't stand him like this, and just thought of something interesting that could stab him.
"The palace banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, Brother Qi asked the emperor for marriage.."
"What?"
disappointed Bai Yuxiu, the most excited person was not Lin Qinghuan, but the nursery rhyme, Bai Yuxiu thought that the nursery rhyme meant something to Bai Yuqi, so he brought a pot of wine and put it in Lin Qinghuan's hand.
The emperor didn't seem to mean that, so the queen deliberately diverted the conversation. Qinghuan, you are late, you will be punished for drinking. ”
"Okay.."
Tong Yao looked at Fang Xing worriedly, she didn't like Bai Yuqi, even if everything had nothing to do with him, even if he had helped Aunt Lan, he didn't like it. In the name of not having a concubine, there are groups of dancing girls in the back house, and then counting those passers-by in the Qinglou...
"But it's the first time I've seen General Su tonight, you guys really look like you..."
The nursery rhyme nodded in agreement, Fang Xing drank and smiled faintly, still thinking about Bai Yuqi's affairs, thinking that his biggest backer was gone, and now he was going to start worrying, if the emperor intended to help him, he would not wait for him to speak, but in case of emergency, the emperor must also do something..
