Chapter 54: Death is to Kneel
When she arrived at Wanxianglou, Chunxue couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage. She helped Su Jin get out of the car, and muttered, "Miss, hurry up, it's time for lunch." ”
Su Jin was helpless, so she had to let her pull it. Su Jin doesn't come to this Wanxiang Mansion very often, except for bringing Chunxue a few times, and the last time Nangong Ling invited her, she never came again. Wanxianglou is the largest restaurant in Beijing, so although it is past noon time to eat at this time, the restaurant is still full of customers.
After finally finding a place to sit down, it was an extremely corner position. Chunxue looked left and right with some dissatisfaction, and said, "This position is too bad." ”
Su Jin chuckled, "The left and right are just a place to eat, just put it on the table." ”
Chunxue pursed her lips and frowned. The junior in the restaurant came over and asked with a smile, "What kind of dishes do you need to order?" As he spoke, he couldn't help but look at Su Jin and Chunxue carefully, and couldn't help but be a little curious. One is dressed as a young lady and the other is dressed as a maid, why do they sit together to eat?
Su Jin glanced at Chunxue and said, "Let's have a roast goose, a few cool side dishes, and a pot of green tea." When the words fell, Su Jin saw Chunxue's bright eyes, sparkling with anticipation. What Su Jin ordered was Chunxue's favorite roast goose. Chunxue couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks and smiled from ear to ear, "Our young lady is really the best young lady in the world." ”
Xiao Er glanced at Chunxue enviously, and said in his heart: What a good maid.
At this time, in the restaurant, there was no shortage of good people talking about the situation of the princes in Jingzhou, and most of them were gossiping. However, in the midst of this chat, Su Jin still heard a more reliable news.
A man who looked like a scholar at the next table said, "Hey, you know what? A few days ago, when I was delivering food to Zhang Dasha into Wen's house, do you know what I saw? The man was mysterious, and seeing everyone's curiosity, he lowered his voice and continued, "I saw that the Ninth Prince and the eldest lady of the Wen family were behind the rockery. ”
Hearing this, a table of people became interested, and a person next to him asked, "You shouldn't have seen a picture of the Living Spring Palace, right?" Hahaha......"
After saying that, everyone burst into laughter.
After everyone had finished laughing, the scholar took a sip of wine and continued, "I didn't dare to stay too long, but I saw that Miss Wen's shirt had been stripped off a bit......
"Woo ......" the crowd began to heist again.
Chunxue listened to the people at the next table, and her face couldn't help but turn red.
"Those people are really not ashamed." As she spoke, she paused for a moment and said, "The Ninth Prince is too, it's really shameless." ”
Su Jin smiled lightly, she hadn't heard of this in her previous life, she only knew that Nangong Ling had a close relationship with the Wen family, and she didn't think that there was a Yu Yuexi from Yuzhou, and now even the Wen family lady from Jingzhou has hooked up.
Seeing that Su Jin didn't speak, Chunxue said again, "Miss, how can these nine princes be merciful everywhere, so shameless, why do those official ladies still like him?" ”
"It's normal," she said indifferently, "How many women are bargaining chips for men to fight for power, Yu Yuexi is like this, and Wen Yuyan is the same, they are just flags in Nangong Ling's hands." He was born differently from other princes, Nangong Yu was the crown prince, Nangong Yufeng was named the prince, and he was given the word 'Yu', which was for King Yu, and most of the other princes were not titled, which is not worth mentioning. And Nangong Ling, his prince was won by Master Yu for him. Master Yu has already lost a daughter, even if this Nangong Ling was born to the palace maid next to his daughter, it is also a necessary condition for Master Yu to compete for power in the future. However, no matter how much Master Yu helped him win the title of a prince, he never had the title. In the eyes of many people, he has the same status as those princes who do not have titles. ”
As he spoke, Xiao Er had already put the dishes on the table. Chunxue pulled a piece of roast goose's leg with her bare hands, and while eating it in her mouth, she said, "Speaking of which, those official ladies are also quite pitiful." If you think about it carefully, they are just pawns of the Nine Princes to consolidate their position. ”
Su Jin poured herself a glass of wine and was silent. Indeed, whether it was Yu Yuexi or Wen Yuyan, they thought that Nangong Ling loved them. But in fact, in order to maintain the relationship between the Yu family and the Wen family, Nangong Ling naturally wanted to throw an olive branch to these two families. And women are the best bond. Since ancient times, emperors, in order to quell the war between the two countries, women must go to peace in order to maintain the two countries. In the same way, women are also indispensable to climb the throne of God.
Thinking of this, Su Jin suddenly felt a little gloomy.
Su Yu, that's probably the case, right?
"Miss," Chunxue suddenly lowered her voice, glanced left and right, and whispered, "Didn't you say that you want to make the Nine Princes unable to gain a foothold in Jingzhou?" Now, why has it been delayed? ”
"Don't worry, the emperor will go to the paddock to hunt next month, and at that time, it will be the best time for us." Now, what she needs to do is to stay put, and if she is too anxious, she will mess up the chess game.
Half an hour later, the food on the table had been swept away by the spring snow, and Su Jin had only eaten some. Chunxue burped, gave a thumbs up, and praised, "This family's roast goose is really boring." ”
Su Jinwan'er asked Chunxue to throw down two ingots of silver and prepare to leave. She doesn't like this roast goose very much, eating too much will not only make you fat, but also too greasy.
Outside the restaurant, the coachman was about to fall asleep, and when he saw Su Jin coming out, he sat up straight and asked, "Miss, will you go back?" ”
"Let's go back." After eating and drinking, the matter has been done, it is time to go back. Although Su Jin didn't really want to go back in her heart, it was indeed late at this time.
Back in Su Mansion, Su Jin stepped into the inner courtyard as soon as he stepped into the inner courtyard, and saw that Mingyu was still kneeling there, not moving, and he didn't even move his position. Su Jin was slightly stunned, then raised his feet, brushed Mingyu's body, and entered the house directly.
Chunxue was a little anxious, and followed behind and said, "Miss, Mingyu has been kneeling for a day, or you can forgive her." In Chunxue's opinion, she lied, as long as she was willing to repent, she felt that she was forgiven. Besides, Mingyu has never made a big mistake, and such a punishment is enough.
Su Jinchen glanced at Mingyu in the courtyard and said indifferently, "If she wants to kneel, let her kneel." Chunxue stomped her foot, came to Mingyu's side, and persuaded, "Mingyu, you better go back first." When Miss Tomorrow is over, you will come over and ask Miss for guilt. ”
Mingyu pursed her lips and said stubbornly, "If Miss doesn't forgive, I'll kneel until Miss forgives." Even if it is death, I will always kneel. ”
