169. Su Xiaoqian's sweetheart
As the saying goes, everyone picks up materials and the flame is high. The four men soon lit a bonfire and put the cleaned pheasants on the branches and began to roast them. Su Xiaojin originally didn't have a good appetite, but when he saw the fat oily pheasant, he suddenly had a big appetite.
"Ah, it would be great if I got two or two better daughters at this moment." Looking at the golden roast chicken, Su Xiaojin chattered.
Tang Muchen glanced at her, stretched out his finger and tapped lightly on her little head. Remind her to be a mother soon, and stop doing nonsense. Su Xiaojin stuck out his tongue and smiled flatteringly at him, trying to make him forget what he had just said.
Gu Yu and Zhu Ling looked at each other and smiled, and they each began to get busy again. The old folk wash the fruit in the nearby stream, and the bamboo spirit picks two large leaves from a big tree and spreads them on the stones, with fresh and attractive fruits, which looks appetizing.
The four of them gathered around the campfire and began to share the gifts of nature. The breeze blows the bonfire, the firelight reflects everyone's smiling faces, and everyone talks happily together.
In the distance, horses graze leisurely and birds chirp overhead. The surrounding Wei Wei green mountains are reflected in the small bridge and flowing water, and everything looks so beautiful.
In the evening, the four of them returned happily. At this time, Meng had already run to Tang Chuan to sue for a long time. She snorted and tearfully told Tang Chuan what happened in the morning. said that the two of them have no respect for their elders now, and ridiculed their two children for being useless, and they haven't even asked for a main house so far.
"Master Hou, don't you know, I'm suffering here! Although these two children are not sisters-in-law, they are also a piece of meat that fell from my body, and they are the blood and bones of your marquis! They deceive people too much. ”
Tang Chuan frowned and listened to Meng's babbling words, and probably understood a little. In fact, even if Meng didn't say it, Tangshan also began to show for his other two sons. However, since they were children, the two brothers have relied on the power of their family to fly and dominate, and they have done all the bad things, and the famous ladies in the capital are unwilling to marry them, and he, the father, really doesn't know how to speak.
"Master Hou, I heard that there is a third princess in the emperor today......" Speaking of this, Meng Shi deliberately lengthened his voice and looked at Tang Chuan tentatively.
"Don't you think about it!" When Tang Chuan heard her words, he almost jumped up. This woman wants to climb the high branches and wants to go crazy, and she actually hit the princess today.
When Meng Shi saw his reaction, he began to sobble and cry again. While complaining, she said that she couldn't even solve her son's lifelong affairs as a mother, so she might as well die if she died.
Tang Chuan was upset when he heard this, and promised to find a way to try. Only then did she put away her handkerchief, and helped him beat his back and pinch his shoulders with a smile.
For his son's marriage partner, Meng Shi already had a plan in his heart. The two brothers are of the same age, as long as one of them can marry the princess and climb to the emperor's in-laws, she can also raise her eyebrows in the future. Let's ask, do Tang Muchen and Su Xiaojin still dare to show her face? When the time comes, I have the opportunity to clean them up one by one!
Tang Chuan was originally very resistant, the emperor took him well, and he also knew that the third princess was deeply favored by the queen mother, and he was not sure that this matter would succeed. However, in all fairness, Meng Shide's words successfully attracted him again. If you can really marry the princess, it will naturally be a beautiful thing. Their Tang family is above the court, and they are even more powerful.
"Master Hou, what do you think, the third princess has been raised in the deep palace, where do you know what love. As long as you and the emperor agree, she won't be obedient? Meng Shi fanned the flames while observing his words. Her eyes were rolling, and she looked scheming.
Thinking about it, if it weren't for the seven exquisite hearts, how could he successfully push down Tang Muchen's biological mother and replace him!
This woman is not only scheming, but also the kind of master who vows not to give up until she achieves her goal, but whatever she believes in, she will do it by all means. Now if she wants to stabilize her position in the Hou Mansion, she must rely on her son. If he can successfully marry the third princess, he will be able to ascend to the sky in one step.
Tang Chuan was confused by her rhetoric, and he was really a little moved. He decided to try it in the palace tomorrow, let go of this old face, and let those colleagues who rejected him in the past see that his son not only married a wife, but also the most honorable woman in the country!
The next day, Tang Chuan packed up and entered the palace early in the morning. Coincidentally, as soon as he walked on the front foot, Su Xiaoqian came on the back foot. He came today to visit the old marquis and discuss how to solve the major problems against southern Xinjiang.
Seeing Su Xiaoqian, Meng Shi didn't have a good face. However, because he was also an important member of the imperial court, and he was all colleagues with the old marquis, he didn't dare to be too embarrassed on his face, so he sent a maid to inform him that the marquis was not in the mansion and asked him to come back another day.
Su Xiaoqian didn't expect that he would pounce in the air, and he was a little melancholy. But if you come here, you will be safe, so you might as well go and see your sister. I heard that my brother-in-law said that she has been sleepy lately, and she must sleep until sunset every day, which is really too lazy. He's going to talk about her later.
"Madam, madam, the young master is here!" Gu Yu saw Su Xiaoqian and happily rushed to the inner room to announce.
Su Xiaojin was originally in a daze, but when he heard his younger brother coming, he immediately jumped up from the bed. This really frightened the old rumor, grabbed her clothes and refused to let go of it, and after confirming that she was safe and sound, he recruited to help her freshen up and change her clothes.
"Ah, you have no conscience, and you know that you have a sister!" After getting dressed neatly, Su Xiaojin almost trotted to the main hall.
Su Xiaoqian drank tea calmly and looked at his sister who was lustful. I'm about to be a mother, and I'm still so childish, he's a sister, I'm afraid I won't grow up!
"Alas, my brother-in-law loves you too much, how long has it been, and you are still asleep. Sister, do you know that others will laugh at your brother-in-law if they know? Su Xiaoqian couldn't help but put down the teacup and began to teach earnestly.
Su Xiaojin knows his character, he has read poetry and books since he was a child, and he behaves and does things in a proper manner, and his eclectic words and deeds will definitely make him unacceptable. If she wants to be happy today, she has to quickly distract this nerd.
"Did you come here today to find me? I heard your brother-in-law say that you used to be able to speak well in the court, and even the emperor was not afraid. Su Xiaoqian, you can! Su Xiaojin stared at his younger brother intently, waiting for his answer.
Su Xiaoqian was about to speak, and when she saw her sister tilting her head, she was wearing an emerald green step in her hair. There were colorful glass beads hanging on that step, swaying gently with Su Xiaojin's movements, shining in the light, really amazing!
"Sister, if you give a woman a gift, what will you give the other party the most favorable?"
Su Xiaojin looked at his younger brother in a daze, unable to believe what he had just said. This younger brother, who has never heard anything outside the window and only reads the books of sages, when did he start to have a liking for the woman?
"It depends on who the other person is. If she's just the sister next door, just send some rouge gouache. If it's a sweetheart......" Su Xiaojin paused, his eyes looking directly at his younger brother who was anxious to ask.
