Chapter 21 The head of the white mandarin duck lost its companion and fled

Lanling Academy.

Yue Qing disappeared six years ago, but the case file of the missing person transferred by Xiahou Sha did not contain his name.

Su Mu made a reason and went to ask the master for Yue Qing's information. As expected, in the memory of the master, this person's use was not like that of a poor family. After questioning some of the old people in the academy, Su Mu found that Yue Qing seemed to be secretive about his family.

Coming out of the dining room, the maple trees in the courtyard outside were dropping leaves.

Su Mu strolled down the steps, secretly wondering in his heart who Yue Qing was full of doubts.

"Hey!" The boy's crisp voice rang out.

Su Mu was unaware and continued to walk forward. Su Yu, who was standing in the corridor, felt a wall in his heart, seeing that this person was about to leave the courtyard, he suppressed his anger and shouted with a cold face: "Su Mu! ”

……

Su Mu, who was immersed in thoughts, didn't hear it, and walked out of the courtyard by himself.

Steward Fang, who was accompanying Su Yu, was anxious, he didn't dare to complain, so he could only coax Su Yu in a low voice: "Little boy, you can bear with it." ”

Su Yu roared in a low voice: "Why let this son endure this wild seed!" ”

Steward Fang's face turned bitter: "Madam specially told me that you must personally hand over the post of Qiu Ju Banquet." Little boy, the old slave knows that you are wronged, but just think it is for the sake of Madame! ”

Su Yu also knew the priority of the matter in his heart, in fact, he could roughly guess his mother's intentions. Now you really should endure it, and when this wild species has no use value, then what do you want to do with it at that time, it's not a matter of his words?

After straightening out his anger, Su Yu lightly ordered: "Send a pug to my son's room at night." He glanced at Steward Fang warningly: "Don't let my mother know!" ”

Steward Fang felt sorry in his heart, looking at the cute little boy of Yuxue in front of him, he thought that he had passed the matter and retreated slightly. But in an instant, he bowed his head and said, "Yes, the old slave knows." ”

The two were talking here, but fortunately Su Mu didn't walk quickly, and after walking for a while, Su Yu caught up with him in front of the school.

Finding that the road ahead was blocked, Su Mu raised his head and saw the two people in front of him, doubts flashed in his eyes.

Su Yu held his head high and said reluctantly: "Hey, can't you hear you when you shout?" ”

Su Mu let out an inexplicable sigh.

"Tsk, that's poor." Su Yu looked disgusted, and then signaled to the steward: "Mother is kind, no one wants to live in Su Mansion, so she sent the case over." ”

The round steward Fang touched his stomach and looked at Su Mu kindly: "Eldest son, Madame has discussed with the master." You've just come to Kyori and you live alone in Beppu, so you don't have a lot of money. The lady took some money from the princess, and then made up some for herself, and told the little prince to give it to you. ”

Su Mu looked at the package that was not too big, and sighed again with a lack of interest.

Seeing him like this, Steward Fang's face remained unchanged, and even Su Yu just stood aside and held his breath. Su Mu felt novel, so he said a few more words: "Thank you for your kindness, but the one that should be placed has been settled, and Su is not short of this bit of silver." ”

Steward Fang's face was disapproving, and he unwrapped the package in three or two, and white silver was suddenly revealed inside.

The eyes of the students passing by were attracted, the Dayuan monetary system is complicated, but the real money in it is still hard currency.

Su Mu was not interested in the silver, he saw some old women's hairpin rings in the package, and the two gold steps were already blackened.

Steward Fang held the package calmly, and Su Yu next to him sneered: "What, do you think this jewelry is too shabby?" In fact, Ben Gongzi also thinks so, ugly and rotten like this, it's just unacceptable. ”

Su Mu arched his hand slightly: "I really don't need it, I'm bothering the two of you to run for nothing." With that, he lifted his foot and tried to walk by.

Steward Fang hurriedly said, "Don't panic, eldest prince! The old slave had forgotten that Madame not only gave you money, but also ordered that the old things of that man be brought to you. He smiled and handed the package forward: "It's been a long time, and that one didn't leave anything behind, so the old slave only found these." ”

Su Mu stopped, his jaw was tense, and there was no smile on his face for the first time.

"That one, that one?" He stared sideways at Steward Fang, and said coldly: "Could it be that you are talking about Su Shixing's three media and six women, who begged bitterly, so he married under ten miles of red makeup?" Why, it's only been more than ten years, and she has become unspeakable? ”

Steward Fang was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly vaguely said: "No, no." ”

Before Su Mu could say more, Su Yu next to him jumped to his feet: "Who are you talking about?" My mother is the mistress of the Su Mansion that my father is marrying! Are you daydreaming...... Woo......"

This time, the little son of the Su family still did not escape the fate of being covered with his mouth.

Steward Fang covered him hard, and the package in his hand was a little unstable. Su Mu endured it, and finally stepped forward to snatch the package.

"I accepted it, but I ...... it in the future" He glanced at the two of them coldly, although he didn't say anything more, but there was obviously an unfinished meaning in his words.

Hurriedly walking back to the school, Su Mu put the package under the table. He knelt on the futon, his left hand holding the rings through the fabric.

It's a lunch break at the moment, and most of the people in the school house are resting. Perhaps because of autumn, Su Mu's heart had a depressed atmosphere.

With regard to a woman's dowry, Obuchi's decree stipulates that it is privately owned, that is, it does not belong to the husband's family. If a woman has children after her death, the dowry is inherited by the children. If not, it is up to the mother's family to decide whether to take it back or give it to the husband's family.

Mama Ao described to Su Mu the grand state of Yang Wanxi's marriage, as the only concubine of the county prince's mansion, the Yang family was afraid that she would not adapt to the poor Su family. So, the dowry was added and added, and the silver alone was a full hundred thousand taels.

Not to mention jewelry, silk, all kinds of furniture and utensils, and rare antiques.

Out of the package came a golden hairpin carved with a lark ready to fly. It can be seen that this hairpin has wasted a lot of thought, and the lark's feathers are clearly visible. It's a pity that the whole golden hairpin is rusty, and the lark's originally vivid eyes are only two black holes.

I guess I took the gem off.

When Su Mu lowered his head to face the hollow in the lark's eyes, a trace of sigh overflowed from his mouth.

Every time you slaughter more dogs, most of them are readers. When Xiao Su Mu was in Gusu, he thought about going to his mother's grave to worship.

After Su Mu came to Yecheng, he had many opportunities to go, but he didn't go. Because, that is Xiao Sumu's mother. And in the end, Xiao Su Muke died in a foreign land.

In the same way, although he knew that he could ask the Yang Mansion for help, he was also unwilling. A foreigner like Yang Fu who can't be carried clearly, he really looks down on it. When Xiao Su Mu died, this kinship had already been broken.

After playing for a while, Su Mu put the golden hairpin back. Then he suddenly noticed that something was pressed on the bottom of the package.

It was an invitation, inviting everyone from Sufu, in the West Garden, and holding a chrysanthemum appreciation party.

The inscription reads Yang Jing's respectful request.

Su Mu looked at this exquisite and gorgeous invitation with great interest, Yang Jing of Anjun Palace. If memory serves, this is Xiao Sumu's cheap cousin.

It turns out that this person has such a good relationship with the Su family? Who put this invitation in and for what purpose.

At this time, Liu Yan, who was sitting next to him silently and writing hard, suddenly looked over, as if he had discovered something new: "Brother Su, how can you have an invitation to the chrysanthemum appreciation party?" ”

Su Mu trembled the invitation: "Do you know?" ”

Liu Yan bowed his head: "The chrysanthemum appreciation party has always been held by several major families in turn, and those who can participate are quite status. Yesterday, Li Song brought the invitation over to show off, so I recognized it at a glance. There was a bit of envy in his eyes: "I didn't expect Brother Su that you are actually hiding deeply." ”

Su Mu waved his hand: "Brother Liu, you misunderstood, this is not mine." ”

Liu Yan didn't believe it, he smiled bitterly: "Brother Su, don't worry, I'm not a narrow-minded person, you can be invited, I will only be happy for you." ”

Su Mu explained a few more words, and seeing that he was suspicious, he simply asked what he had been curious about: "Brother Liu, you mentioned Li Song just nowβ€”in fact, I have always been curious, why is this person so hostile to the Anjun Palace?" ”

Liu Yan pinched the tip of his nose, looked left and right, and then moved the futon towards Su Mu: "I'm also hearsay, Brother Su just listen to it." ”

Why is Li Song hostile to the Yang family, this matter is really a child, it is a long story. Li Song's family is the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and he was knighted with Wuxun, and before Xiahou Ling appeared, the Li family had the greatest military power. After Xiahou Ling was born, although the Li family temporarily avoided the edge, it was still not to be underestimated.

The Li family has a thin population, and Li Song's father has only two brothers. The eldest is Li Song's father, but he was martyred with Lao Zhen Beigong during the war with Xiyu. Li Song was just two years old at the time, and his mother was also in the prime of life.

Li Song's second uncle, Li Xi, acted dissolutely, and when his father and brother died in battle and his nephew was young, he naturally attacked the knighthood. And the first thing this freshly baked Zhenbei Duke did was to release his wife on behalf of his brother, so that his sister-in-law returned to her parents' house, and even personally introduced her current husband.

For this incident, it caused an uproar in Yecheng at that time.

Liu Yan was quite ashamed: "The most important festival for women, his sister-in-law was determined to observe the festival for her husband, but she was forcibly released by her brother-in-law. He lowered his voice: "It is said that it is because the Duke of Zhenbei is afraid that she will use the name of the eldest sister-in-law to snatch the title in the future because she is guarding Li Song!" ”

It was the first time Su Mu had heard of this kind of character, and although he didn't see that it had anything to do with "why Li Song was hostile to the Yang family", he still urged with interest: "And then? ”

"And then?"

Then Li Xici firmly controlled the Zhenbei General's Mansion, and Li Song grew under his knees. The strange thing is that although outsiders have talked about the evil intentions of the Zhenbei Gongju, and even conspiracy theories about when Li Song will die. But to this day, Li Song is still alive, and even admires his second uncle Li Xici very much.

Speaking of which, Liu Yan finally began to get to the point.

The current Zhenbei Gong Li Xici resigned, and he was a very romantic figure when he was young. His confidants are all over the world, and it is said that even the Jiangnan Yanhong Pavilion has an oiran. However, now he is no longer confused, but he has never married a wife, not even an heir.

Although there are various speculations, Li Song has always attributed the reason for his second uncle's loneliness to one person, that is, the former Miss Yan of the Yang family.

Because, that Miss Yang is the only woman Li Xici who specially invited a big media to come to her door to ask for marriage.
