Three hundred and twenty-eight: Walking water
After leaving the Sheng family, Su Yunyao sat in the carriage home, her thoughts a little chaotic.
Looking at King Heng's appearance, it seems that he has not suffered any blows, and the emperor's anger does not seem to have any impact on him, you must know that the biggest taboo in the competition for the prince is to make the emperor feel that you are not suitable, the emperor thinks that King Heng is obsessed with beauty and does not even care about the life of his flesh and blood, this kind of person cannot be the emperor.
In this case, King Heng must have a way to make the emperor forgive him on the premise of misunderstanding him, but Su Yunyao doesn't know what this method is, otherwise how could he be so calm?
Concubine Lin Xian doesn't know how many times she has cried these days, the emperor's dragon robe was wet by her crying again and again, and those who don't understand the situation still think that Concubine Lin Xian is made of tears.
"Why are you crying again?" The emperor asked.
Concubine Lin Xian didn't cry this time, but knelt down pitifully, and said aggrievedly, "Today is the wedding of Ning Guogong's son, and the concubine sent someone to send a congratulatory gift, but Ning Guogong asked the concubine to send it back as it was..."
"It's not a big deal." The emperor was a little helpless, "You get up first, Ning Guogong is a little ignorant, but his family has been loyal ministers for generations, and it is not a big sin not to accept your things." ”
"But if you are loyal to the emperor, you should also take your concubines seriously, right? The concubine is kind enough to celebrate for you, but she is so bad, she is really uncomfortable in her heart, the concubine is favored by you, but Ning Guogong is so snub to the concubine, isn't that clearly against you? ”
"Look at you, why is it so serious? If you say that you are pampered, then I pamper you, what do you care about other people's opinions? Besides, his son's wedding I have already sent things, and I heard that your family also went to the wedding banquet, wouldn't it be superfluous for you to send things again? ”
"It's... Where is this the same, it is clear that he does not take the concubine in his eyes. Saying that, Concubine Lin Xian brought rain with pear blossoms again.
"You come here to cry three times a day, you're not tired, I'm tired of listening, I still have political affairs to deal with, I will go to your palace to see you at night, go down."
"Emperor..."
Seeing that the emperor didn't want to talk to her anymore, Concubine Lin Xian glanced at the emperor who looked at the folded child, and then said in a stupid voice that the concubine retired and went out.
"Mother, what can I do now?" The chamberlain asked.
"What can I do? The emperor does not enter the oil and salt at the moment, if the palace says it again, it will only annoy him, Heng'er loses power is very bad, although King Yu's fault is greater, but Heng'er's fault is wrong into the emperor's heart, the palace has to think of a way, and it is the right way to let Heng'er sit on the throne quickly. ”
This is what Concubine Lin Xian said with her henchmen, and it is precisely the henchmen who trust her very much, otherwise these rebellious words will be lost.
After returning to the dormitory, Concubine Lin Xian was still angry because of Fang Cai's matter, and it was inevitable that she would curse the Ningguo Mansion.
She had also heard of Su Qianyao's death before she entered the door, so in this case, she would naturally curse the new daughter-in-law of the Sheng family, and curse her to be a short-lived ghost like Su Qianyao.
Back at the Su family, Lu Yuanyi came alone and gave Su Moyao some snacks.
Freshly made fruit from the dim sum shop, fresh peach blossoms, and a few beads.
"I saw Mrs. Mu Xiang's eyes looking at you, as if she was going to eat you, you weren't affected, right?" Su Moyao asked.
"Nope." Lu Yuanyi didn't say much, "But it's hard to do what Mu Mansion will do, you be careful, don't worry about me." ”
came in a hurry, went in a hurry, Lu Yuanyi was simply a dragon who saw the beginning and did not see the end, and he left without waiting for Su Yao to entertain him.
Distributing some of the fruits to willow buds and spring bamboo shoots, Su Moyao ate almost half of them, and her cheeks couldn't chew anymore and were still stuffing them in her mouth.
Before the peach blossoms fall, the catkins also began to fly all over the sky, sometimes you have to cover your face when you go out, otherwise you have to suck some in, sometimes you go out and come back, the body is like falling snow, you know that it is catkins, I don't know if you should go back to winter.
When the wind is strong, the catkins are blown and swirled.
Holding the cage to protect the breakfast to be eaten, Lisheng hurriedly walked to Qinzhuxuan, the freshly steamed buns were delicious, and the taste was different when it was cold.
"Mother Yuan in the kitchen is used to doing things, I heard that there are a lot of chopped shellfish in the bun filling, not to mention how fresh, the slave maid tasted one in the kitchen, and I knew that the girl must love to eat!"
Under the service of Songyin, Su Yunyao got up, this kind of weather is air-dried on the stove, it is inevitable that there will be some coughs, no, Su Yunyao has been coughing for several days.
She first moistened her throat with half a bowl of warm water, and then she felt that her throat was more comfortable.
Shrimp porridge, small buns, peach blossom crisp, shredded bamboo shoots, and fish-flavored poached eggs just out of the pot are all what Su Yunyao likes.
"Recently, the weather has been very dry, and there are fires in other houses, so that our people in Qinzhuxuan are vigilant, and the used candles are placed indiscriminately, and the candles are completely extinguished and then put away.
At this time, Su Yunyao has a feeling of being in charge.
"Rest assured, the girl's mother looks at the slaves and maids with a twelve-point spirit, and always let the slaves and maids pay attention, and they will not use forks."
"Do those houses think of fire out of thin air? It's not a disaster that went wrong. Su Yunyao tasted the small buns, and it was indeed as Lisheng said, the taste was very good.
Diced bamboo shoots, diced mushrooms, a little crab meat and egg yolk, and some shellfish mixed with meat, this taste is really a must!
"Did the girl hear about it, there was a water incident at Qiao's house last night." Lisheng suddenly thought of this, so he said it casually.
"Why haven't I heard of such a big thing?" Su Yunyao immediately understood, "I just got up, I don't know if it's normal, you can talk about it." ”
"The slave maid also went to the kitchen when I heard the Yu Pozi who was eating outside, saying that the waiter's house was burned and called a miserable, I heard that there were still dead people, fortunately, Qiao Shilang and his wife were fine, the dead slave maid did not know, I heard that it was a girl's family."
"That's weird." Su Yunyao thought about it for a while, "Last year, it was rumored out of thin air that I killed Liu Yutong, and the Qiao family was dedicated to dealing with me with the help of the Lin family, and at that time, no one suspected that this thing was actually done by Qiao Lan, but now that the Qiao family has encountered a fire, I always feel that this matter is not as simple as an accident." ”
"The slave doesn't know about this, and it is estimated that we can't inquire about it."
"It's not up to us." Su Yunyao tasted another bite of porridge, "Let Liuyuan go to the Dingguo Mansion for a while, and let the little grandfather help me inquire." ”
Bai Chuheng has always been a must to inquire about this matter, so he asked the little servant to Su's house in the afternoon of the same day, and told him in detail about the fire in Qiao Shilang's mansion last night.
The girl who burned to death was none other than Qiao Lan.
In this case, the Qiao couple lied that they sent their daughter away, so that their daughter's ruined matter would no longer be talked about and pointed at, in fact, Qiao Lan was not sent away, but lived in the Qiao family's house, and there was a small yard specially prepared for her.
From the outside, it looks unremarkable, but inside it is very interesting.
The courtyard was very close to the front yard, not too far from the back yard, next to the demolition house, which had a secret room, a small side door blocked by a pile of firewood.
That day, Qiao Lan's father's colleagues came to Qiao's house to eat and drink, and after getting drunk, they couldn't find a place to go to the toilet, so they walked from the main courtyard to the side yard, and when they arrived near the courtyard where Qiao Lan lived, Qiao Lan listened to the sound and hid in the side door.
But because he was afraid of the dark, Qiao Lan lit an oil lamp, and the window paper in the firewood room was broken, and the wind blew in and directly blew the firewood.
The colleague was immediately frightened and couldn't walk steadily, and the firewood room caught fire so that the Qiao couple also noticed it, and hurriedly arranged for someone to put out the fire, but Qiao Lan didn't escape and died inside.
This story is really embarrassing, Qiao Lan has had a very bad life in the past few years, and if he encounters something like that, he won't be able to marry at all in the future, and he doesn't want to marry Qiao Lan, a wild man in the mountain village.
Originally, her father told her about a family affair, it was a distant relative's family, that family had a few acres of land, and the family still raised pigs, which was considered a rich family, but Qiao Lan was pretentious and felt that he should not marry in that kind of place, so he insisted on staying in Qiao's family.
It doesn't matter if you stay here, you still have to leave your life behind.
Su Yunyao sighed after hearing this, "After all, I studied with me in Qihuanzhai, it's really pitiful." ”
"Girl, don't they all say that the poor must have pity?" Song Yin asked puzzled.
"She's just pretentious, she thinks she should marry high, it's not a mistake, who doesn't want to climb high? But in the end, she didn't really hurt anyone, but she ended up like this, alas..."Su Yunyao raised her head and asked the little guy, "How does the little grandfather know so much?" These are the secrets of the Qiao family, and it is estimated that at this time, I have to say to the outside world that it was a maid who burned to death, right? ”
"Miss Su is smart, the Qiao family can't say that they are suffering at the moment, they knocked out their teeth and swallowed blood, and they have to say that the head maid of the family was burned to death. Qiao Lan has a close maid by her side, the maid's mother used to be a maid in the Dingguo Mansion, and the little grandfather and her know each other, so it is not difficult to inquire about this. ”
"I see." Su Yunyao turned her head to look at Songyin, "Good students send it out." ”
Sending the little guy away, Su Yunyao's mood was a little depressed, a good girl's family, just the right age, died like this, it is really a pity.
However, this incident can be regarded as a wake-up call to the people of the Su family, and they strictly control the fire source at home.
In Chang Xi Zhai, the old lady re-said these words, and instructed, "The Qiao family is fortunate to have died just a maid, otherwise it is not regret and useful, we must pay attention to the whole family, the spring weather is dry and windy, and there are many examples of walking water, everyone should pay attention to it." ”
