171. Good vision
"Good brother, you have a good eye!" Su Xiaojin laughed and patted his younger brother on the shoulder. Just now, I was worried that he would be deceived, but now it seems that I am too worried. Not only was this guy not deceived, but he also fell in love with a good girl with a kind heart.
What kind of person is Xiao Yu, the youngest daughter of the saint today, the third princess who is loved by thousands of people! Since the eldest princess was married to Fanbang, this little daughter was held in the palm of the queen mother's hand. I heard that the Queen Mother was reluctant to marry her, and ordered the emperor to propose marriage without her permission! The emperor is benevolent and filial, so naturally he does not dare to disobey, so it is more difficult for many people to see the princess than to ascend to the sky.
"It's just that I'm not very sure in my heart, I'm always afraid that the falling flowers will be ruthless, and in the end it will be nothing." Su Xiaoqian stood up from the stool and looked at the wide banana leaves outside the window with some bitterness.
The Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and the palace will hold a Mid-Autumn Festival moon viewing state banquet. The civil and military officials will be dressed up to attend on that day, and the queen mother will also bring the queen princess and other concubines to attend the banquet, so that she will have the opportunity to meet her, and by the way, you can find out her mind.
Su Xiaojin understood what his younger brother meant, although he and Xiao Yu met, they were just polite friends. Now it is really inappropriate to suddenly confess your intentions, it is better to make a decision after seeing the woman's attitude.
"This is not difficult, at the Mid-Autumn Festival state banquet, I will find a chance for you to meet the princess, if you have anything to say in person." She patted her chest and motioned for the matter to be wrapped up in her.
Su Xiaoqian listened to it and laughed excitedly.
"That's very good. I can't eat and sleep well these days, just because of this matter, if Xiao Yu also intends to me, it would be better, if not, I will die of this heart and no longer bother her. ”
"You, you're really useless." Su Xiaojin scolded him, but he didn't hide, just lowered his head with a smile, and his heart was already happy.
Since ancient times, heroes have been sad to pass the beauty pass, and he is just a mortal, and it is common to covet strange women in the world.
Outside the city walls, a fat head leaned against the wall and eavesdropped. Because the sound in the room was so quiet, it stretched its neck hard, eager to go through the walls. The head, adorned with gold and silver jewels, shows the vulgarity of its owner. She seems to be eager to wear all the headdresses in her house to show off her background and status.
At this moment, a maid-like figure hurried over, as if he had something urgent to report.
"Madame!" She slammed her head on the wall in a hurry.
The head was unprepared, startled by the sudden sound. When she looked back to see who was calling her, she scolded angrily.
"I'm going to die, what are you doing in such a hurry, is the sky falling or the earth sinking?"
The maid was scolded by her, and she was so frightened that she didn't dare to look at her, and lowered her head and trembled to tell her that Tang Muchen was back.
Hearing this name, Meng pretended to be calm and neatly dressed, and muttered to the maid, what is the fuss about him when he comes back, I am walking in my yard, and I am still breaking the law?
But after all, she left quickly along the gravel road. It's disgraceful to eavesdrop, and she's still very weak-hearted.
As soon as Tang Muchen walked to the entrance of the courtyard, he noticed that something was not right, and the figure of a maid leaving in a hurry attracted his attention. He nodded at Zhu Ling and motioned for him to investigate. The bamboo spirit jumped up, and his body fluttered down on the wall between the two courtyards.
Looking at the Meng clan in the distance, he nodded heavily at Tang Muchen.
Sure enough, it was that woman!
Tang Muchen frowned, but he still couldn't change the problem of eavesdropping on the root of the wall. As the eldest lady of Houfu, her behavior is so filthy, she is really embarrassed by Houfu's face.
But he has something to do now, so he doesn't bother with this old thing, the future is long, and there is time to settle accounts.
"Sister, I still have official business to deal with in my house, so I will stay soon. When my brother-in-law came back, he greeted me and said that I would come back another day. Su Xiaoqian remembered that there were still a lot of official duties to be dealt with, so he hurriedly left.
Su Xiaojin knew that he did everything himself, handled the case uprightly, and didn't dare to stay more, so he repeatedly told him to take care of his health and let him go.
Here, Tang Muchen and Zhu Ling took a shortcut to return home, but they didn't even meet Su Xiaoqian.
"Jin'er!" As soon as he saw his wife at the door, Tang Muchen rushed over.
Su Xiaojin saw that his expression was wrong, thinking that something was wrong, so he pulled his sleeve worriedly and asked him what was wrong.
"It's not good to stay here, let's go inside." After Tang Muchen looked around, he hurriedly walked into the inner room with his wife.
After making sure that there was no one around, he took a note from his cuff and handed it to her.
Su Xiaojin opened it and saw that it was a row of beautiful small characters, and the handwriting seemed familiar to her.
"My sister saves me and doesn't marry Houfu." The signature is Xiao Yu.
"Something's wrong!" Seeing the note, Su Xiaojin's heart tightened, worried about whether the other party had an accident.
"Today, when I was playing chess with the emperor, I saw my father go to visit the queen mother. Originally, I didn't pay much attention to it. As a result, when I was about to leave the palace, Xiao Yu's personal maid stopped my carriage, handed me a note, and left in a hurry. I don't dare to delay, so I'll hurry back to my house to discuss matters with you. ”
Tang Muchen said the situation succinctly. Su Xiaojin looked at him as if he didn't understand, not quite understanding what Xiao Yu meant.
"She said that she would not marry Houfu, is she implying that our Queen Mother intends to marry her to Houfu? However, how could the Queen Mother be willing to marry her? Didn't her old man say that she was allowed to go out of the palace to marry after she reached the age of 18? How did you suddenly change your mind? Besides, there are no suitable horses in the Houfu! ”
This Su Xiaojin is really smart and confused for a while, she even forgot that the Meng family has two sons, but they want to jump into the dragon gate and become a horse!
Tang Muchen didn't speak, just looked next door. Su Xiaojin suddenly realized, how could she forget this stubble, she had been pregnant for so long, how could she sit still? Isn't this damn proposal exactly what she's trying to calculate herself?
She angrily crumpled the note in her hand and held it tightly in her palm. Xiao Yu is not only her friend, but also her brother's favorite, how could she let her die in the tiger's mouth. Meng's two sons who have lost their conscience, where are they worthy of her, Meng's really doesn't know the height of the sky, and he actually calculated to the emperor.
"With me here, she can't imagine that the plot will succeed! Xiao Yu wants to be my brother's daughter-in-law, how can she be robbed by others! ”
Tang Muchen looked at his wife in surprise, he didn't expect her to say such a thing.
"You mean......" he asked, incredulous.
