The price of a meal

The restaurant began to be closed for renovation, and after Su Yiyun explained all the things to Fubo, she stayed in the courtyard with peace of mind, because she sensed that something was wrong.

Although I have been staying in the yard, I have heard gossip from the outside these days. He was about fifty years old, and had ten sons and six daughters under his knees. Among them, the most favored are the second prince and the sixth prince. The second prince was born by the queen and had a noble status. The six princes are from the favored concubine Rou, and the grandfather of the six princes is the current prime minister of Zuo. The ministers of the court were divided into three factions, two factions were two princes who stood on their own positions, one faction did not clearly express their position, and the other two factions did not interfere with the river water. At the same time, it is also the object of the other two factions. And Su Zhen, Su Zhen, is one of the six princes. Recently, my father Su Zhen seems to be very close to Li Zhi, the secretary of the criminal department in the no-position faction. This Li Zhishangshu was born in a peasant family, relying on his honest and selfless character and extraordinary talent, he fought his way out of the officialdom.

Therefore, when the ministers of the DPRK and China stood in line, he still did not express which prince he supported, and he also became the backbone of the no-position faction. The figures of the two factions tried their best to break through Li Zhi's fortress. Gradually, the two factions stopped wooing Li Zhi. Because Li Zhi is as stubborn as his name suggests. Because of the marriage contract between the noble daughter Su Li and the Six Princes, Su Zhen naturally became the first person to support the Six Princes.

Recently, Su Zhen has been very close to Li Zhi. Some people heard that Li Zhi, who has always been serious and showy, actually laughed during Su Zhen's conversation, which changed Li Zhi's past style and made the ministers of the DPRK and China scratch their heads.

In her previous life, she loved to practice yoga, and she believed that by practicing yoga, she could not only stretch the flexibility of the body, but also improve her consciousness and help her give full play to her potential.

Early in the morning, the second-class maid Honglian beside Madame came over to pass the word. "Qingyu, Madame has ordered, all the young ladies must have lunch in the hall today. Madame took pity on your second lady and let her dine together. But you have to wash her so that it doesn't disturb the lady's appetite. After saying that, he ran away as if he would catch an illness if he stayed a little longer.

"I look down on people too much! Hmph, my young lady is smart!" Qingyu came to the bed all the way and complained to Su Yiyun. Su Weiyun exhaled the last breath of turbidity and glanced at the fried green jade with a smile. Qingyu saw that the young lady was still laughing at herself, and she couldn't help but be anxious.

"Miss, what are you laughing at! Isn't Honglian just a second-class maid! She still dares to laugh at you! She still looks disgusted!"

"Honglian finally managed to get a message for his wife, but he didn't expect to come to us, so he was naturally unlucky, how could he be happy. "Thanks to Qingyu's liveliness and gossip, Su Weiyun has a clear understanding of everyone in this mansion.

"Alright, since let's wash up, let's wash up. "Suddenly, Madame summoned everyone to dinner, and something must have happened. Su Weiyun thought about the recent intersection between his father Su Zhen and Li Zhi. I'm afraid that today's meal will definitely be exciting.

After washing, Su Yiyun was refreshed, and his mood couldn't help but improve. I thought that I would see the picture of the ancient competition for favor with my own eyes later, and I was looking forward to it. Su Yiyun changed into an ordinary plain cardigan, and simply pulled her hair! Inserted a lot of big red flowers and pale yellow chrysanthemums that Qingyu had just told Qingyu to pick in the yard, and instead of applying a little fat powder to his face, he used charcoal to draw the marks on his forehead more conspicuously.

"Qingyu, if the master asks for a while, you push it on me, since you are stupid, you have to be stupid to show them"

"Yes Miss. Qingyu didn't know where to touch the dust and wiped Su Weiyun's cuffs black. "All right, miss. ”

Su Yiyun looked at himself in the bronze mirror, and at a glance saw the blue and black marks, the swaggering flowers, and a stupid expression. Well, Su Weiyun was very satisfied with his image.

Sioux House Hall

The two concubines arrived in the hall early with their daughters. It's rare to be able to eat together. The four of them tried their best to dress up. Li was born as a girl, wearing a blue silk dress, and her hair was full of hair accessories, looking like a nouveau riche. Daughter Su Qian has just turned fourteen, and like her mother, she prefers blue clothes, and her head is also full of hairpins. It doesn't correspond to her immature age. Chen was also a young lady from a large family before, and later the family fell into the middle of the road. was considered a goddaughter by her father's friend Zhou Fang. Later, she was given to Su Zhen as a concubine. I saw her wearing a light green shirt, and only a pearl hairpin was inserted on her head. Be generous and decent. Occasionally, Su Ling also inherited the elegance of her mother. The difference between the two can be seen at a glance.

Qingyu helped Su Weiyun all the way to the hall, during which in order to conform to the image of a fool, Su Weiyun stumbled when he crossed the threshold. When he saw Su Weiyun come in, Li turned his head in disgust. Although Chen's expression did not change significantly, the disgust in the depths of his eyes still couldn't escape Su Yiyun's eyes. At this time, Zhao and his daughter Su Li helped Mrs. Su to come in together. Walking in front is the male host of Su Mansion - Su Zhen. Su Zhen has a slender figure and cold eyebrows. Although about 40 years old, it is very well maintained. The cold thin lips are pursed into a line. In Su Zhenyun's only impression, Su Zhen was unsmiling. Old Madam Su was dressed in a dark purple silk robe, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, but the occasional flash of light in her eyes made people realize that she was not as kind as she looked.

"I've seen my father and grandmother. The granddaughters got up one after another to greet Su Zhen, and Mrs. Su greeted her. Su Weiyun also blessed his lower body in the same way, but his movements were funny.

"Hmm! Seeing Su Weiyun's dress and behavior, Old Madam Su and Su Zhen also did not change their faces, but a trace of displeasure flashed in their eyes.

"How long has it been since the two girls have come out to get together together?" Old Madam Su looked at Su Yiyun with a kind smile.

"Mother, where do these two girls know how long? It is a great fortune to be able to sit quietly now. Over the years, I have also found a lot of good medicine for her to eat, although she has not recovered, but I can finally take a bowl to eat and drink. Zhao looked at Su Yiyun and after listening to the old lady's words, he began to lower his head and count his fingers, and immediately took over.

"It's just that she doesn't look good at eating, and she often cries when she falls to the ground. There is really no such thing as a lady, this is not good for the reputation of Sufu, and the daughter-in-law has no choice but to let the second girl stay in her own courtyard and serve her deliciously. ”

"Mother, your grandmother knows how good you are to your second sister. Su Li smiled and gave her grandmother a piece of lotus root. Su Li is only a little older than Su Weiyun, but she is a famous beauty. Although he is young, he is slim. Su Li has a perfect melon seed face, slender willow eyebrows, a pair of hooked eyes flowing with waves, jade cheeks pink and slightly red, a delicate nose, delicate cherry lips, and white and tender skin. This kind of appearance is also one of the best in the entire imperial city. Not to mention that the Zhao family, who was born in a famous family, strictly disciplined Su Li, and was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Under the influence of the marriage contract with the six princes, Su Li's talent and appearance and Su Weiyun's stupidity spread all over the world.

Su Yiyun smiled, but his eyelids were lowered, and he sneered in his heart.

"I asked you all to come here today because I have something to tell you. Tomorrow, Lord Li, the secretary of the Criminal Department, will come to the house to propose marriage. This married in the past is a wife, and from then on she will be prosperous and rich for a lifetime. As soon as the old lady's words came out, Li and Chen stiffened and quickly returned to normal, while Su Qian and Su Ling were frightened, and their eyes were quickly filled with mist. In this imperial city, who doesn't know that Li Zhi's only son, Li Wen, is also an idiot. This marriage will be over for the rest of your life.

And so it was. Su Weiyun secretly sighed in his heart, Li Zhilao came to have a son, but he didn't expect to be an idiot. After that, he didn't come out again, so he regarded this idiot as a treasure in the palm of his hand. It's just that when Li Wen grows up, it is very difficult to get married. The door is right, dislikes Li Wen as an idiot, and is unwilling to send his own girl into the fire pit. is willing to fill the fire pit, Li Zhi feels that he is not worthy of his baby son. So Li Wen's marriage has been delayed again and again. Su Zhen also grasped the weakness of Li Zhi and offered to marry a young lady to the Li Mansion. The two are also a good match. Li Zhi uncharacteristically followed Su Zhen to talk about this marriage.

"Li'er has already been married to the six princes, so the candidate can only be chosen among the three of you. Zhao explained with a grin. "Although Lord Li's eldest son is a little unsatisfactory, as far as I know, it does not affect normal life at all. If she marries in the past, she is the mother of the house and is in charge of a house. Originally, the one who married the eldest son of Li had to be a concubine. But Master Li said that he would not dislike anything, so you, you have this opportunity. This is in charge, you think about it. ”

Last night, Su Zhen discussed with the old lady for a night, and he didn't know who to let take over the marriage. Then Su Zhen stayed in Zhao's room, and Zhao couldn't help but laugh after hearing it.

"Master, Qian'er and Ling'er are concubines, if they marry in the past, Master Li is afraid that they will dislike their status as concubines. Zhao lay in Su Zhen's arms and analyzed them one by one for Su Zhen.

"Although Master Li is a little unsatisfactory, he is a descendant and the only seedling of Lord Li. Marrying a concubine in the past, I'm afraid it's unreasonable. ”

"But Li'er has already had a marriage contract with the sixth prince. Su Zhen originally wanted Qian'er or Ling'er to marry, but after listening to Zhao's words, Su Zhen fell into deep thought.

"Don't forget, sir. We also have a concubine in our house. Although the second lady Yun'er is also an idiot, she is also a concubine. Both of them are idiots, and they are both descendants. This makes sense. ”

Su Zhen listened to Zhao's explanation and felt that it was reasonable. He came to a conclusion. "Well, Madame has a point. Let's have dinner tomorrow and talk to everyone. ”

in the hall

After hearing Zhao's words, everyone fell silent. Only Su Weiyun was gnawing on something.

"Ahem...... the old lady cleared her throat and said, "Although Lord Li doesn't mind marrying a concubine or a concubine, but Master Li and we are also a good match." Although the child is a little dull, it is passed down from generation to generation, and it is very precious. We can't afford to be rude. ”

Hearing the old lady's words, the hearts of the Chen family and the Li family and others who were hanging in their throats were relaxed, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

And Su Weiyun almost choked on meat, knowing that there is no free lunch in the world, this fire still burned on himself.

"The second girl is simple by nature, and the old body has been worried about her future, lest she be bullied. It may be that God opened his eyes and sent this good marriage. The two girls married in the past and managed a house alone, without uncles and concubines competing with each other. This also has a problem on my mind. As she spoke, the old lady wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand where there were no tears. A stupid granddaughter gets a favorable marriage in exchange for such a good thing, so naturally she must quickly get it in her pocket.

"Mother, don't worry, you old man, the second girl has encountered a good thing today, thanks to the good things you usually get from eating fasting and reciting Buddha" Zhao immediately picked up the words.

"Yes, the second miss is a blessed one. Li and Chen echoed it. The smiles on the faces of the two could not be hidden.

"Okay, since that's the case, then the second girl will marry into the Li Mansion, tomorrow Lord Li will come over to discuss the marriage with me, and tomorrow the second girl will dress up neatly. After Su Zhen came to a conclusion, he left the hall.

Qingyu also helped Su Weiyun back to the courtyard. It doesn't look like it's going to be calm for a while.
