Su Xiaoman looked at him with stern eyes, and Lu Wangshu didn't dare to ask more, after all, her eyes don't appear every day, and if she did, there must be something important.

After dinner, the dark guard came to the study, Su Xiaoman had been waiting in the study for a long time, and the question in her heart made her a little impetuous.

The dark guard arched his hand and said, "What does the county lord command!"

Su Xiaoman looked at him strictly forbidden: "You go and find out who has come to the Soldier's Mansion recently, and inquire carefully about where they came from, and who their surnames are!"

The Dark Guard turned around and strode out of the study

Following

The messenger from the front line came to report that the current battle situation in Lu Li was still tense, but this time he sent a letter from home, and the letter said that everything was fine, which made Su Xiaoman feel a little relieved, and hurriedly replied to the letter and asked the messenger to take him to the front line.

In the evening, Su Xiaoman sorted out the account books in the study

Knock knock knock......

The secret guard went directly to the door and reported to Su Xiaoman: "Report to the county lord, there are three guests in the palace of the military department today, one is a child who came to Beijing to study, one is a maiden relative of Mrs. Li Shilang, and the other is the gentleman of the school, there is no one else!"

Su Xiaoman frowned questioningly: "Who are Mrs. Li's relatives, have you inquired clearly?"

Dark guard said: "I heard that the kitchen grandmother of the Li Mansion said that it was a native of Bishui Village, named Li Shuhua!"

Listening to the name spoken by the secret guard, it was extra familiar, but she couldn't remember who it was, and her mind quickly filtered the previous people and things, and suddenly made her think of Li Xin, the woman who had humiliated her, if she remembered correctly, Li Shuhua should be Li Xin's distant cousin!

Now I finally figured out why Li Shilang's son knew about Bishui Village, don't think about it, in that small village, people take it as fun to chew the root of the tongue, especially women, who have extra long tongues!

Su Xiaoman nodded to the secret guard: "Don't tell him when the Duke of Kingdom comes back after this incident, lest he worry!"

"Yes!"

The dark guard respectfully retreated from the study.

Su Xiaoman muttered to himself: "It seems that it's time to hold an elegant gathering or a polo club, otherwise how can I meet Mrs. Li's family!"

The next day

Jin Shao happily handed over the greeting post to the Guogong Mansion, Su Xiaoman took advantage of the time and quickly invited Jin Shao into the mansion, and by the way, he called Pearl to call Xiaoxue to the mansion.

Xiao Xue lowered her eyes and stood in front of the hall with a shy expression, Jin Shao summoned people to bring three boxes of dowry gifts, a box of gold and silver jewelry, a box of precious medicinal materials, and a small box I don't know what it contains, and the one behind him is really holding the box tightly, as if he is afraid of being robbed.

Su Xiaoman was sitting in front of the hall, calling the pearl to make two pots of good tea and serving them in front.

"I didn't expect you to hand over the post so quickly, looking at your posture, there must be an echo?"

Jin Shao said with a happy face: "The family letter given by my father, the county lord can take a look at it first!"

Pearl handed the letter to Su Xiaoman, looked at it and gave it to Xiaoxue, looking at the joy on her face, she must have been happy in her heart.

"I can't imagine that Jin Gongzi's father is so humble, presumably the family must be a good person to get along with! But your family is far away in Jinzhou, how should this marriage be handled? If you let Xiaoxue go back to Jinzhou with you now, it will definitely not work! But it's not good for your parents to travel a long way to get here! ”

Su Xiaoman naturally wanted to be thoughtful for Xiaoxue, and immediately said that he had concerns, but he wanted to see how Jin Shao Zidang dealt with it.

Jin Shao said confidently: "I can hold a wedding here first, which can be regarded as marrying Xiaoxue into my Jin Mansion, and then going to Jinzhou to hold another wedding, so that the two sides are appropriate, what do you think?"

The repeated difficulties have been solved one by one, presumably Xiaoxue will not be sad in the future after she marries, Su Xiaoman nodded with satisfaction: "So good, tomorrow I will take you to Sanqingguan to ask the real person to choose a good day for the two of you, and our garment shop will also take care of this bride's wedding dress!"

The next day, Su Xiaoman took Jin Shao to Sanqingguan, and chose a good day, on the sixth day of the next month, which happened to be an auspicious day for marriage, and these days also specially invited the famous local etiquette grandmother to teach Xiaoxue to learn the way of a wife, and a group of servants and maids in the house praised Su Xiaoman as a good master.

Seven days later, Su Xiaoman sent someone into the palace to beg the king to lend her Lingyuan, which was originally used by the children of the royal family as a game use, Chu Yu knew that Su Xiaoman had arranged a polo club, and he borrowed her boldly when he needed the venue, and also ordered the concubines and nobles who were interested in each palace to participate together.

This polo club can be said to have gathered how many dignitaries, daughters and young sons, other families are taking advantage of this polo club to take the opportunity to find a good family for their women, many of the eldest ladies of the official eunuchs have come to participate in the polo club, the concubines in the palace did not come, but the field was very lively, among which the second son of the Li Mansion and the eldest daughter of the family also came, and the eldest lady of the Li Mansion and Li Shuhua were still standing beside him.

Since ancient times, the people who came out of the family to entertain were the eldest lady of the main mother, and the concubine was not allowed to show up, and had to live in hiding, Su Xiaoman's mansion naturally did not have this kind of sorrow, but the eldest lady of other dignitary families was not so lucky.

The venue is surrounded by a rectangular circle, and all kinds of small tents are set up outside the circle, Su Xiaoman has also done enough face, and the noodles are also arranged, which families are close to which families, and which families have hatred with which families, all of them have arranged the banquet according to the relationship, and the natural tents and food with noble status are relatively high-end, and the ones who should be lifted are still lifted.

Mrs. Li's tent is just across a tent from Su Xiaoman's, and when she raises her eyes, she can clearly see who is coming, and when she sees Li Shuhua, she has an impression in her heart, when she was immersed in the pig cage before, she happened to stand aside and point at herself, Su Xiaoman really remembered it at that time.

Su Xiaoman was sitting on the collapse, eating tea from time to time and looking at Li Shuhua not far away, and whispered a few words in front of Pearl, and Pearl quickly walked up to Mrs. Li and said something! I saw Mrs. Li pick up the cardan, cover her mouth, look at Su Xiaoman, smile embarrassedly, get up and take Li Shuhua to Su Xiaoman.

Mrs. Li respectfully half-squatted:

"County Lord Fu'an!"

Li Shuhua looked at Su Xiaoman's stunned expression, a little speechless, completely forgetting about the salute, and Li Shuhua, who was frightened by Pearl with a look, hurriedly squatted down.

Su Xiaoman smiled: "Mrs. Li, please take a seat!"

Mrs. Li thought that it was because of her son's matter, Su Xiaoman was going to be mad, how could she be so polite, and the pearl served a bowl of tea in front of her.

"A few days ago, my son did such a foolish thing to the second son, I'm really sorry!"

Mrs. Li was stunned, the county lord was a first-class lady, and she actually apologized to her son, and smiled embarrassedly: "The county lord is modest, it is common for children to fight and make trouble, no surprise, no surprise!"

Su Xiaoman raised her eyes and glanced at Li Shuhua, only to see that she didn't dare to look at Su Xiaoman with a low face, her hands and feet even trembled a little, she smiled and pointed at Li Shuhua and said, "I don't know who this is next to Mrs. Li?"

"Oh, this is my husband's cousin, who came to visit my husband's family!"

Li Shuhua stood in the corner shivering, Su Xiaoman covered his mouth and smiled: "I don't know why this one has been shivering, is it too cold?"

Li Shuhua hurriedly raised her head and shook her head, and hurriedly pretended to be stupid and said, "No..... No! Don't worry about it! ”

"A few days ago, I heard the second son say some foolish things, and I don't know where I heard it!"

As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Li was even more confused, and hurriedly asked: "Did that kid bump into you, you told me, I will go back and educate him well!"

Su Xiaoman took a sip of the tea bowl, wiped his lips with a handkerchief, and said with a vague thought: "The child is not wrong, the fault is the person who passed the word!"

couldn't help but raise her eyes to look at Li Shuhua again, only to see that she was shaking more and more, it seemed that she was scared, Su Xiaoman, who was slaughtered by others back then, couldn't imagine that he had become the county lord now, which was really unbearable.

Mrs. Li asked: "Please also ask the county lord to make it clear!"

Just as he was about to speak, Li Shuhua couldn't help but consciously knelt down in front of her, crying with tears and snot: "County Lord, I was wrong, I didn't have a heart!"

Mrs. Li really startled Li Shuhua, who suddenly knelt down: "Cousin of the husband's family, why are you doing this?"

Su Xiaoman narrowed his eyes and said: "Don't blame me, eldest lady, only blame your cousin for making irresponsible remarks in front of the child, and pointing at my son's nose and scolding, which really made my family's Wangshu angry, so I splashed ink!"

Mrs. Li got up indignantly and asked, "Cousin of the husband's family, what did you say to the second brother?"

Li Shuhua trembled and said, "I...... I said that the county lord was a prostitute who was immersed in the pig cage, and the grandfather of the country married her back without licking his face! In the past, I was in the same village as the county lord, but I just didn't keep my mouth shut for a while, the county lord, please spare me! Group Leader! ”

"Confused, confused, how can you talk nonsense about this kind of thing, do you know that casually slandering the emperor's relatives is a big crime, and you will be punished!"

The angry Mrs. Li stomped her feet, and hurriedly looked at Su Xiaoman respectfully and said, "County Lord, this husband's cousin is a countryman

If you don't have much knowledge, you don't have to worry about her, and when I go back to report to my master, I will definitely teach her a good lesson! ”

At this time, the polo court was so lively, this time the polo club Su Xiaoman also specially took out two of the treasures of his ready-to-wear workshop as a reward, one of which was a Su embroidered brocade cardigan, and the other was the latest ready-to-wear produced by the best products.

Although these two prizes are not too good objects, they are at least a lottery, and there must be more people competing for them.

Su Xiaoman waved his hand and signaled Mrs. Li to deal with it as appropriate, and everyone on the field applauded, only to see the daughter of the Li family galloping heroically on the polo field, and also won the championship and won the ready-to-wear, and immediately dismounted and came to Su Xiaoman.
