Chapter 148: Su Ling'er's Secret
Tianxuandu chose a feng shui treasure near the official building complex to the west of the palace and gave Li Tiantu a mansion.
The scale of the house is not large, but the pavilions, small bridges and flowing water, rockery forest garden, everything, the former owner is famous all over the world, poetry and painting of the former Dynasty Confucianism Su Wending.
At the beginning of the founding of the Celestial Dynasty, the second Emperor Taizong cherished talents, and wanted to invite Su Wending, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites of the previous dynasty, to re-emerge from the mountain and serve as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites of the Dynasty. However, Su Dingwen, who is old and deeply influenced by Confucianism, and at the same time has a bit of pedantic color of a scholar, is disheartened and loyal to the previous dynasty. When Emperor Taizong came to the mansion in person, Su Dingwen, who was over 70 years old, ignored his holy face, blew his beard and glared at Emperor Taizong and scolded Emperor Taizong for being a chaotic minister and thief, and everyone was punished.
Such a major crime of bullying the monarch should be decided according to the law, but Emperor Taizong remembered that Su Wending's reputation was far and wide, and the influence of Confucianism was quite great at the moment, so he just issued a holy decree to exile his family, confiscate his property, and then give up.
And now, the Su Mansion, which has been abandoned for more than 20 years, has been renovated in just a few days recently, and the main entrance has been replaced with a new plaque, with blue borders, gold characters on a black background, and the word "Great Commander's Mansion" is handwritten by the current Holy Heaven Xuandu, and the dragon flies and the phoenix dances, and the momentum is magnificent.
The Manchu Dynasty is envious of all the civil and military forces, since the beginning of the Celestial Empire, the nominees of the mansion can be nominated by the emperor except for Li Jing, the "God of War" who has only been flaunted under Emperor Taizong, and Yan Mengyu, the first beauty of the Beijing Division who is peerless in style and the rivers and lakes behind him is not under the three major forces of the Beijing Division, there is no one else. Even General Ding, who is the best in the world, does not have this honor, and the degree of favor of Li Tiantu can be seen from this.
This move is also intentional by Tianxuan, and he can only compensate Li Tiantu for the life owed to that elegant woman. He is ready to achieve the ultimate in the favor between the monarchs and ministers of Li Tiantu, as long as Li Tiantu can be outstanding, he will be convex, and he will be crowned a king and a marquis, this is a calculation hidden deep in the heart of Emperor Tianxuandu.
At the beginning of the new mansion, there was an endless stream of officials from the six ministries and nine secretaries who came to visit.
The Prime Minister's Mansion and Yushitai, who have a grudge against Li Tiantu, have not seen anyone coming, which is also expected.
But what surprised Li Tiantu was that the Nine Princes, who had not had much contact with him before, and who had been named the only king of this dynasty, sent a pair of three thousand years of deep-sea dragon-shaped blood corals to the chief manager of the palace.
Li Tiantu sent off the chief manager of the Nine Kings Mansion back to the inner hall of the main entrance, Su Ling'er was looking at the dragon-shaped blood coral in a daze, he couldn't help but stretched out his hand and shook it twice in front of Su Ling'er's eyes, and chuckled: "The beauty of blood coral is the kind of void and luxurious beauty that can make people fall into dreams, I don't like it very much, if Ling'er likes it, I'll give it to you." ”
Su Ling'er was shocked by Li Tiantu's words, instantly retracted her gaze, shook her hands desperately, and said in frustration: "Childe, you better take it back." ”
Li Tiantu was not reluctant, and said casually: "I heard that this thousand-year-old dragon-shaped blood coral was originally a thing of the Su Mansion, but it was donated by Mr. Su to pay for the army when the previous dynasty fell, but I didn't expect it to fall into the hands of the Nine Princes." Ling'er, your surname is Su, and you will not be a distant relative of Mr. Su Dingwen. ”
The last sentence came out, Li Tiantu couldn't help but laugh dumbly, the former great Confucian Su Dingwen lived in the north, and thirty years ago because of his disrespect to Emperor Taizong, the whole family was exiled to the Western Regions, how could it be related to the Su sisters in Jiangnan Province.
But the next scene surprised Li Tiantu, only to see Su Ling'er in front of him trembling after listening to his speculative words, his lips were biting, his eyes were beaded, and he looked like he was uncontrollable and wanted to cry.
Li Tiantu couldn't help but hold Su Ling'er's shoulders tightly, pressed her on the chair, leaned over and asked softly, "Ling'er, are your sisters really old with Mr. Su?" ”
Su Ling'er's mood improved a little under Li Tiantu's comfort, and she said gloomily: "Su Dingwen is the ancestor. At that time, the ancestor of the family was exiled for offending Emperor Taizong. Fortunately, his old protégés had countless old ones, and with the secret help of several proud protégés of the court in the past, he only stayed in the Western Regions for half a year before coming to Jiangnan, and has been living incognito in Yangzhou City. ”
Li Tiantu secretly sighed, and also felt infinitely sorry for the previous dynasty Confucianism to fall into such a situation, and comforted: "Ling'er, nearly thirty years have passed, we don't care about which is right or wrong for the time being, the past is gone, and now that the emperor has given me the house, aren't you also half a hostess?" ”
Li Tiantu originally said it casually without heart or lungs, but the speaker had no intention of listening, but this word entered Su Ling'er's ears but had another meaning, which caused her to blush. However, the strange expression only flashed on her face, and it was obvious that she deliberately suppressed it.
The careless Li Tiantu didn't pay attention to Su Ling'er's abnormality, but his thoughts drifted to other places.
Taking over the Drizzle Building is far more difficult than he thought, although there is the innocent assistance of the "Sky Fox" Linghu, but the Drizzle Building has been controlled by the "Bone Eclipse Ecstasy" for more than ten years. After putting an end to the disappearance, the elders in the building suspected that they were innocently colluding with Linghu in private, and put them under house arrest under the pretense of Ding's order, and wanted to seize the power of the drizzle building.
After all, the relationship between Li Tiantu and the General's Mansion has not been so harmonious, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a hostile party. Don't say that the elders of the drizzle building don't believe it, even Li Tiantu himself couldn't imagine that Ding Yifang would hand over the drizzle building to his own hands who have always been at odds with him, and the general's retreat from the rivers and lakes was probably beyond the expectations of all the people in the temples and rivers.
If it weren't for Linghu Innocent being a close person to the Ding side, and his cultivation was superb, and most importantly, he was still holding the general's token, Drizzle Building would have been torn apart at this time.
There are people in the courtyard to report, and people from the small building in the middle of the lake.
Li Tiantu woke up from his contemplation and felt his scalp tingle.
Yan Mengyu, who is a small building in the middle of the lake, is the most difficult person for him to face when he returns to Beijing this time. It's not that I don't want to see each other, but I don't know how to deal with the relationship between the two after seeing them.
Ex? Old? Or is it a stranger?
Yan Mengyu did not come alone, but Granny Yu, who was holding a red cloth covering the pale yellow wooden box, followed closely behind, looking cautious as she went, which showed that the things contained in the wooden box were extraordinary.
Yan Mengyu stepped on the door, and Li Tiantu couldn't help but get up suddenly, and raised his eyes to look over.
Alas! Eventually, it has changed, this situation, this scene, this person has changed.
In a year, Yan Mengyu has lost a trace of gentleness and charm, and has become more capable and decisive; There is less of a weak and unwinded, and a little more heroic.
Li Tiantu was not arrogant enough to think that Yan Meiren had changed because of himself.
Similarly, he doesn't know what Yan Mengyu has experienced during this time, but he understands one thing very well, Yan Meiren, who couldn't understand in the past, is still incomprehensible.
Yan Mengyu smiled with a smile on her face, motioned to Granny Yu to hand the gift to Su Ling'er, sat on the chair on the left side of Li Tiantu without seeing it, turned her head to stare at the man who was close at hand, the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and said playfully: "My father-in-law, do you know?" Half a year ago, I learned that you appeared in Jiangnan, and I couldn't sleep all night in those days, but you didn't come to see me. ”
