Chapter 25: The Marriage Contract
Xie Yuan Gongyue Lin Xi's poems are thorough and exquisite, and the praise of the people around him is a little more sincere.
Su Mu found a place and glanced at the poems from a distance. As soon as he praised a few words, he saw several maids in Tsing Yi hurriedly coming over, and then whispered something to Yang Sangongzi, who was entertaining the guests.
Yang Sangongzi, who was sitting by the canal, had no change in his face, he straightened his sleeves and stood up, and looked around with a smile: "I don't know if you can see Su Mu Su Gongzi?" ”
"Who is Su Mu?"
"The foolish brother doesn't know this person."
Just when everyone looked at each other, Su Mu took a step forward: "Su is here." ”
Seeing his countenance, the eyes of the handmaidens flickered a few times.
Yang Sangongzi seemed to be a little surprised, and his expression softened: "The current young man is really Zhong Lingyuxiu." As he spoke, he beckoned Su Mu to walk over.
The others all looked at Su Mu with curiosity, and Yang Sangongzi said: "Some small things, everyone continue, you can't just let Gongzi Yue take the lead." ”
The host's family spoke, and the others tacitly pressed their thoughts.
Yang Sangongzi led Su Mu to avoid the crowd, and he said in a low voice: "Su Gongzi, please go to the back garden, there is a girl over there who is looking for you in an emergency." He looked kind: "Young people are always amorous, and that's nothing. ”
Su Mu understood the kindness in his words, but he was a little puzzled: "Su has just joined the Beijing Division, I don't know if that girl will come to me in an emergency?" ”
Yang Sangongzi pointed to the back garden: "Wouldn't you know if you go and see?" He said meaningfully: "At most, it's just a romantic debt." ”
Several maids in Tsing Yi saluted: "Madame is waiting over there, and I invite Su Gongzi to go." ”
Su Mu had nothing to do, said goodbye to Yang San and followed them towards the back garden. And Twelve also changed his normal behavior, bowing his head and pretending to be a timid little guy to follow.
Walking on the road, maybe it was to see that he looked really innocent. A servant girl lagged behind a little and said secretly: "That girl came in somehow, and she said that you gave her a jade pendant." ”
Su Mu reached out to touch his waist, he never cared about anything outside his body, and the jade pendant that pressed his waist was all held in his hand. If he accidentally left it behind, he might not even know about it.
As soon as a little worry rose in his heart, Twelve suddenly secretly pulled his sleeve, and then took advantage of the maids' inattention, and showed a grimace towards Su Mu.
Su Mu paused, remembering Xiahou Sha's previous words, so he didn't have any worries.
Passing through several courtyards, I saw a number of servants guarding a moon gate in the distance. Seeing Su Mu's party, a mother-in-law stepped forward: "It's coming!" ”
The maidservant girl headed by bent over, and the woman looked at Su Mu, with a little disdain in her eyes: "It's good-looking." ”
Su Mu's expression was calm, and the person who passed the word over there hurriedly came out: "Madame called Su Gongzi in." ”
Outside there are groups of servants, with maids and mothers-in-law, who don't look like a family. They peeked at Su Mu and made eye contact.
Su Mu glanced at it and raised his feet into the courtyard.
This courtyard is not large, especially after there are many people standing in it, it seems even more narrow.
Su Mu saw Yu and Su Juan at first sight, they were standing in the center, looking respectful and talking to the lady in blue beside her.
In late autumn, this courtyard actually looks like a three-hall trial.
The eldest lady of the Yang family, Wang Shi, stood at the top with her hands tied, and several gorgeously dressed ladies sat on the left and right. A woman knelt on the ground in the middle of the courtyard.
"Brother Su!" The woman on the ground suddenly straightened her waist and looked at Su Mu who stepped into the courtyard in ecstasy. Her hair was messy, her eyes were red, and she looked quite endearing.
When she shouted, everyone turned their gaze. When the people in the courtyard saw the young man who came in, their faces changed.
…… Her son!
Mrs. Yang, who was sitting on the left, snapped her nails, and her well-maintained face twitched slightly. Li Chan, who was sitting opposite, lowered her eyes and put down the fan in her hand.
Su Mu looked at the woman who spoke out, a little surprised: "It's you?" ”
Yu hurriedly stepped forward, and there was a lesson in his tone: "Brother Mu'er, do you really know her?" ”
Su Mu ignored her, but took a staggered step and said to the woman on the ground: "Why are you calling me like this, Liu Yan?" What's going on with you? ”
The woman kneeling on the ground is the willow warbler who has had a relationship.
Hearing Su Mu's words, Liu Ying raised her head and sobbed: "...... I, I don't want to come either. But I can't find you anywhere else. ”
Su Mu frowned: "I only have a one-sided relationship with the girl, why are you looking for me?" ”
Hearing his words, Liu Ying's face was incredulous, she took a few steps forward in a panic, but then she seemed to react again, and muttered pale and desperate: "Yes, yes, I only have one side with you." ”
"Whew!" Mrs. Chen, who was sitting, had a sharp voice: "Dare not do it, it turns out that she is not planted!" ”
Su Mu looked at her, their eyes met, and Mrs. Chen's eyes were full of malice.
Li Chan said slowly: "It's just some little daughter affairs, just admit it." Don't be afraid, little girl. It is estimated that Su Gongzi misunderstood something, so it would be good to say it. ”
Liu Ying looked at her gratefully, and then continued to look at Su Mu without saying anything.
Su Mu laughed and laughed, he pinched his little thumb and said coldly: "This lady is right, just say it, it's better for Miss Liu to talk about it, which one are you singing." ”
Su Xuan, who was standing in front, took out a handkerchief, bent down to wipe Liu Ying's face with pity, and then looked at Su Mu with some condemnation: "Big brother, little sister shouldn't have said it, but this sister has paid so much for you, how can you be so ruthless?" ”
Yu, who was embarrassed by Su Mu, also opened his mouth: "Our Su family is upright, don't worry, if you are really happy with this girl, the master will not beat the mandarin duck." ”
Su Mu didn't bother to look at them, he just felt that all this was a waste of his time, so he simply turned around and left.
The people in the courtyard were stunned, and Liu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, was anxious, and she hurriedly took out the killer weapon from her arms: "Master Su!" This is the jade pendant you gave me that day, don't you even recognize it? ”
Mrs. Yang, who had never opened her mouth, also frowned and called: "Su Mu! ”
Twelve grabbed Su Mu and looked at him again and again where everyone couldn't see it. Su Mu sighed slightly after seeing it, and could only stop, barely patient.
Mrs. Yang held the handmaid's hand with a majestic expression: "If there is a hidden secret, I will say, what happened if I left so unexplained?" ”
Su Mu was indifferent: "Since everyone here has already made a conclusion, what is the difference between saying it and not saying it?" ”
Mrs. Chen sneered: "I think you have a weak heart!" ”
At this time, the lady in blue who was standing at the top suddenly spoke: "You are the Su family Su Mu?" Her eyes were cold: "I didn't expect you to grow into a greedy and lustful person who disrespects your elders." ”
Li Chan comforted: "Why should Mrs. Wei be angry, Su Gongzi has been in poor health since he was a child, and it is a blessing to grow up safely." He has been in his hometown for all these years, and it will naturally be worse without the guidance of his elders, so you have to be considerate. ”
The lady in blue looked at her slightly: "I understand him, so who understands Shu'er?" How can this kind of unlearned and unskilled gentleman be worthy of the lintel of my Wei family! ”
Su Mu was a little confused, he looked at this Mrs. Wei, and searched for half a sound in his mind, but still didn't find any information.
Seeing his confused appearance, Mrs. Wei glared at the ditch in disgust: "Originally, this kind of thing was related to the name of my daughter's family, but I didn't want to fight today, and I will never admit this family business for Shu'er!" ”
Yu, who was standing next to her, looked ashamed, and she saluted Mrs. Wei: "It's all to blame for the concubine, I wanted you to look at each other today, but I didn't expect such a thing to happen...... However, back then, the two families had a verbal agreement, saying that they could only be relatives if they were consensual. Now that the eldest prince is the first to lose his morality, how can I blame you? ”
Although Mrs. Wei was still arrogant, her expression eased: "This is the best, since this is the case, then I will ask you to prove it today, and the family affairs of the Wei and Su families will be nullified." ”
As soon as they said a word, they finished singing the play by themselves.
Su Mu stood aside with his hands in his hands, calmly as if he was an outsider. Although he had just learned that he had a family affair, and then it was canceled at the same time, he didn't even raise an eyebrow.
The dust settled on the dissolution of the marriage contract over there, and the twelve talents standing behind Su Mu asked Liu Ying innocently and suspiciously: "You mean, is this jade pendant given to you by my son-in-law?" He bit the word "gift" very hard.
Liu Ying lowered her eyes and said unbearably humiliated: "...... Nature! ”
Twelve pretended to nod, but then immediately puzzled: "However, this jade pendant is not my son-in-law's!" ”
Surprised.
Liu Ying looked up in amazement, she clenched the jade pendant: "Impossible, this is obviously his!" "One day in Fan Lou, she saw Liu Yan take it off him with her own hands!
Twelve shook his head vigorously: "This jade pendant looks like Rongdetang's, my son-in-law has always only gone to Jubaozhai!" ”
The ladies in the courtyard all looked at Yu Pei, they all knew everything about the jewelry, and they confirmed at a glance that it was indeed Rong Detang's thing.
But Liu Ying didn't have such a good look, she was a little flustered, but she still insisted: "This is his, he gave it to me one day!" ”
Seeing that the situation was wrong, Yu hurriedly stepped forward to interrupt: "Forget it, Brother Mu, let's close the door and talk about this kind of private matter!" ”
Su Mu still ignored her, but stared intently at the jade pendant raised by Liu Ying, the more he looked, the more familiar he felt.
It was a turquoise jade with a few plum blossoms carved on it. Su Mu was thoughtful, and Twelve suddenly slapped his thigh: "Ah! I remember, isn't this the jade pendant of Li Song and Li Shizi! ”
Yu Shi was taken aback: "Impossible!" ”
Liu Ying, who was kneeling on the ground, had a white face, and the jade pendant in her hand fell to the ground.
Who is Li Song? That's the little overlord in Yecheng! But what is even more famous is the rule set by Li Xici, the prince of Zhenbei, that in this life, except for his wife, he will never be allowed to be contaminated with the slightest woman!
Over the years, there have been women who don't believe in evil who want to seduce Li Shizi, but without exception, they all ended miserably.
How miserable is it? Let's take today, if the jade pendant in Liu Ying's hand is really Li Song's, then she only has two ways. Or, become the lady of the prince of Zhenbei. Or, die.
