Chapter Eighty-Eight: Buddhist Life, Buddhist Work
"This ......"
Xiao Zhuo secretly glanced at Su Xinyan and found that her expression was not displeased, so she lowered her head and replied, "Follow Your Highness's will." ”
Gu Fengjin nodded, and seeing that the matter was resolved, he waved his hand casually and said, "If there is nothing else, let's go down first." ”
"Your Highness," Zhang Xiyao said at this time, "Xiyao still has something to ask for. ”
"Say."
"Xi Yao implores His Royal Highness to let the slave maid return to Grandpa Su's courtyard again, after all, whether it is to hand over the affairs of the mansion or to study with Grandpa Su, I want to learn in the shortest possible time, so as to live up to His Highness's expectations of me."
Gu Fengjin seemed stunned after hearing this, and he turned his head to look at Su Xinyan.
"What does Grandpa Su mean?"
"Miss Zhang can do whatever she wants, I have no other opinions." Su Xinyan shrugged his shoulders and looked indifferent.
"Okay, then according to what Father-in-law Su said."
So, this matter was inexplicably decided.
Su Xinyan not only brought back a successor when he went out, but also gave up his carefully decorated courtyard to the successor.
At this time, she and Zhang Xiyao were walking in a small garden, and the two were in harmony on the surface, but only they knew the undercurrent surging.
"Father-in-law Su," Zhang Xiyao said with a smile on her lips, "I heard that the decorations in this courtyard were all done by you personally, I still remember that when I first entered the mansion, this place was not such a scenery, and now it has turned a world upside down, which makes me really admire." ”
What she said was also very right, after all, this courtyard was very desolate before Su Xinyan planned to dress up.
It must have taken a lot of thought to transform a deserted garden into such a flowery appearance.
"After the award, no matter how capable I am, I don't have Miss Zhang's superb skills. In just a few months, he took root and survived in this prince's mansion. And it's even more popular than me, a person who has worked hard for several years. ”
Popular?
Zhang Xiyao's smile faded, as if she didn't like what she said.
As they spoke, the two passed in front of a group of little maids.
After seeing Zhang Xiyao, those little maids all showed a kind look, as if they had met their close friends.
In the face of Su Xinyan, those maids showed fear one after another, all of them bent over and hung their heads, their bodies stiff and tense, and they didn't relax until Su Xinyan left.
This contrast is too stark, Zhang Xiyao looked at the performance of those maids, but there was no joy in her heart.
She tugged at the corners of her mouth, and barely squeezed out a smile: "Father-in-law Su said that you laughed, how can your prestige in this mansion be comparable to that of an outsider." ”
She knew in her heart that although she had temporarily gained His Highness's appreciation, in this mansion, whether it was His Highness or these maids and servants, they had already regarded Su Xinyan as the real master.
And she's just the same kind of these people.
Zhang Xiyao looked at Su Xinyan's indifferent expression, and held her hand tightly hanging on her side.
She didn't want to show sisterhood with these lowly subordinates at all, and one day, she would step on top of these people's heads like Su Xinyan and let everyone look up.
Su Xinyan seemed to feel the hostility around her and planned to find an excuse to leave.
It's just that before he took two steps, he suddenly stopped and looked back and asked:
"It's just that I still don't know something, since Your Highness has given you a better courtyard, what are you going to do when you go back to this remote place of mine? Miss Zhang doesn't seem to be the kind of person who misses the old. ”
Zhang Xiyao smiled, "I will always remember your great kindness, it was Gonggong Su who rescued me from the Qinglou by yourself."
So don't worry, this courtyard will become a place for me to guard in the future, and even if you leave, I will cherish and protect what you left behind. ”
"So...... Very good"
Su Xinyan glanced at her deeply, hooked her lips and said slowly.
The two exchanged a false smile and went back to their rooms without further words.
Warm and simple room.
Su Xinyan sat down at the table and shook the teapot that was about to bottom out.
"Go get a pot of hot tea."
"Father-in-law Su!" Xiao Zhuo saw that Su Xinyan had happened so much, and he didn't look in a hurry, and he couldn't help but scratch his ears and cheeks a little.
He hurriedly closed the door and said bitterly.
"Father-in-law Su, don't you resist even if that girl is bullied? That Zhang Xiyao is just the daughter of a criminal minister, if it weren't for the pretense of seeing Tian'er, how could she be appreciated by His Royal Highness. Besides, their Zhang family was able to turn over, isn't it also the result of your mediation!
Now this ungrateful person is still delusional to take your place, and he really can't see his identity clearly! ”
"Oh." Compared with his righteous indignation, Su Xinyan was very indifferent.
"Alas...... How can you still be so indifferent! Xiao Zhuo's face was full of hatred, and iron did not become steel.
"So what? Could it be that you also plan to let your father-in-law Su learn her methods, and also go to disguise herself to flatter the master once? ”
Su Xinyan said as he took a sip of the cold tea on the table.
The dryness and bitterness are strong, and it doesn't taste good at all.
She secretly stuck out her tongue, took only one sip, and never touched the cup of tea again.
"This ......"
Xiao Zhuo thought about that scene, and then thought of the appearance of his father-in-law, hmm...... It seems that there is no such thing as a problem.
After all, if it is a simple appearance, Father-in-law Su, who is dressed as a woman, is no worse than that girl.
"Huh!" Su Xinyan turned the cup in his hand, "Don't make up strange things." ”
Seeing Xiao Zhuo hang his head, Su Xinyan continued: "Besides, why should I be angry? Someone has to be the head of this prince's mansion, even if it's not Zhang Xiyao, it's someone else. ”
"But...... It can't be this woman! That person didn't have good intentions at first glance, what can you do when she gets power! Especially if you're going to be staying in this house for more than a month. ”
Xiao Zhuo was simply worried about this.
"It's only a month if something happens." Su Xinyan knocked on the table and looked out the window with a faint look, "It's just a pity that I'm in this courtyard." ”
Now every grass and tree in this yard is the result of her careful arrangement, if she had known that she would leave so early, she would not waste her energy on it.
"Alas, in that case, what Grandpa Su says is what it is." Seeing that he couldn't convince Su Xinyan, Xiao Zhuo could only sigh and say a few more thoughtful words before leaving.
When Su Xinyan was the only one left in the room, she put away her previous calmness and frowned slightly.
She still hadn't said a word yet.
Although she really doesn't care about this position, and she doesn't bother to compete with others for something, she is not a person who can be kneaded by others.
If someone uses her as a stepping stone to power, she will also make that person pay a terrible price.
Zhang Xiyao......
Su Xinyan muttered to herself, she didn't expect that she had really underestimated this person before.
After that, Su Xinyan originally thought that she would be calm for a few days, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't go to find trouble, but things found her on her own.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's favorite place to go is a pond next to Su Xinyan's courtyard.
The fish inside are plump and strong, and it is a good place for fishing.
But on this day, the fish pond, which had always been calm, became noisy.
"It's horrible! Who was so ruthless that he poisoned all the fish in the pond! ”
"That's right...... It's so ruthless! ”
"To do this in the Prince's Mansion, that person is bold enough."
As soon as Su Xinyan approached the fish pond, he heard the whispering voices of the little maids, and he and she looked at the fish pond along the words of those people, only to find that the tail fish who were alive and well yesterday had turned their bellies at this time!
This pool full of fish corpses makes this place that used to be very interesting to see become strange and abnormal.
"What the hell is going on! Who found out first? ”
Without waiting for Su Xinyan to speak, Zhang Xiyao, who heard the news, frowned and said sharply.
A little girl with a bun stood up tremblingly, "Sister Xiyao, it was the slave who found out first." Today was the day when the slaves came to feed the fish, so I left the room early in the morning. Unexpectedly, when I prepared the fish food, I saw this scene. ”
After she finished speaking, she still cowered a little and leaned towards the side of the person next to her.
"Sister Xi Yao, if this kind of thing happens, will His Highness blame us?
"You can be sure to find out the facts, find out the murderer, and return us to a clean slate!"
When the others saw Zhang Xiyao, they also came over, and the previous panic also gushed out like a tide.
Zhang Xiyao, who is now suddenly reused by the prince, is like a savior in their eyes.
"You say, this was the case when you arrived?"
Su Xinyan squatted down and couldn't help frowning as he looked at the fish that were obviously poisoned to death.
This poisoned person is too stupid, why not kill the whole pond of tailfish, the gains outweigh the losses, how much poison does it take......
She poked her finger at the dead fish that had turned over in the pond.
The girl who spoke before saw Su Xinyan at this time, and hurriedly stepped forward, "Father-in-law Su...... Why are you here too? ”
Su Xinyan clapped her hands and patted off the water stains on her hands, "I can't help but come, this matter is the result of poor security in the palace." If it is not handled well, none of the people serving here can escape. ”
After hearing this, everyone immediately gasped, and their faces showed sad looks.
At this time, Zhang Xiyao blessed her body and said to Su Xinyan: "Father-in-law, you are amazingly intelligent, I don't know if you can solve this matter, I beg you for these poor sisters." ”
Seeing this, the others also hurriedly looked at Su Xinyan for help in the same way as Zhang Xiyao.
"Oh?" Su Xinyan smiled, "Since Miss Zhang has asked for help, then I'll check it out." It's just ......"
She paused for a moment, then suddenly said with some embarrassment.
