Chapter 107: Coming to the door, intending
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" Cheng Ran looked at Su Muge and Yueru, who were embarrassed outside the door, and after being stunned, he hurriedly staggered and let the two of them enter the house.
Walking into the courtyard, twenty children sat in rows in the courtyard, practicing calligraphy seriously.
Seeing Su Muge walk in, they put down their pens and stood up to salute her.
"I've seen the eldest lady."
Su Muge swept around and nodded. "Let's continue to practice calligraphy."
"Yes."
Cheng Ran led Su Muge into the house.
"Cheng Ran, go to those gold sore medicines, Miss is injured." Yueru said urgently.
Cheng Ran didn't ask much, turned around and went to the next room to get the spare medicine, and went to the kitchen to bring a plate of clean hot water.
After taking the medicine, Yueru took out the silver again and asked Cheng Ran to buy a well-fitting dress on the street for Su Muge to change.
"How did Miss get hurt?" Cheng Ran saw that Su Muge's face was not very good, and asked out of concern.
"On the way here, we met a brutal county lord, and the county lord almost hit me, and he wanted to kill us, and the young lady was injured while protecting me." Yueru said with guilt in her eyes.
"The brutal county lord...... The eldest lady met the lord of Ceylon? ”
Su Muge's eyebrows raised slightly. "How do you know?"
"The eldest lady doesn't blame the little one, since the little one has done something for the young lady, the little one will go out of his way to make friends with some people of all religions and nine ranks, although these people can't be on the stage, but they are sometimes very well-informed in some aspects, this Ceylon county lord has returned to Beijing, and the little one also heard it from them."
In this era of closed information, it is also an advantage to be able to grasp the most effective news in the shortest time. "You're doing the right thing."
Cheng Ran saw that Su Muge didn't blame himself, so he was relieved.
"The lord of Ceylon has returned, what about the king of Dingxi?"
"Those people said that although there is no rumor that the king of Dingxi has returned to Beijing, how can this lord of Ceylon appear for no reason, maybe this king of Dingxi is already on the way to Beijing, or is already in the capital!" Speaking of the back, Cheng Ran lowered his voice.
Su Muge thought of what happened to him in the hunting ground, and his hands in his sleeves were secretly clenched.
"Miss, the lord of Ceylon is a man who will be rewarded, it is said that in the fief of the king of Dingxi, but anyone who has offended the lord of Ceylon, none of them will survive, it is better for you to stay in Su Mansion during this time." The capital is not small, and it is not easy for the lord of Ceylon to find Su Muge without knowing her identity.
Su Muge nodded, as far as the Lord of Ceylon was ruthless today, if he found her, he would never give up.
Because the king of Dingxi went to the fief in his early years, his palace in the capital has long been given to others by the current saint, and the lord of Ceylon can only live in the palace when he returns to Beijing.
The lord of Ceylon arrived in the capital three days ago, but on the surface, she said that she arrived today, after all, she did not enter the palace immediately after arriving in the capital to meet the emperor, which is a big disrespect.
Imperial Palace, inside the Palace of Comfort.
Gonggong Yi bowed down and walked into the main hall and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the lord of Ceylon is asking to see you outside the palace. ”
Xiahou Rui, dressed in a bright yellow dragon robe, sat at the desk in the palace, looking at the folds on the table, and did not raise his head when he heard the words. "She's alone?"
"Yes, just the Lord of Ceylon."
Xiahou Rui hooked the corners of his lips, but he was not smiling. "Biography."
"Yes."
"Tell the Lord of Ceylon to see you."
The lord of Ceylon was led by the palace people to the outside of the Yangyi Palace, where she changed into a neat riding costume and wore a pale yellow floor-length skirt.
"The Lord of Ceylon has arrived."
Father-in-law Yi bowed slightly. "Lord of Ceylon, please."
The Lord of Ceylon walked in with his pointed chin raised.
"See the emperor, long live the emperor."
Xiahou Rui stood in the hall with his hands in his hands. "Get up."
"Your Majesty."
After the county lord of Ceylon got up, he raised his eyes to look at Xiahou Rui, who was dressed in a dragon robe.
She has been in the fief with the king of Dingxi all the year round, rarely returns to the capital, and the number of times she sees Xiahou Rui is also only a handful.
"I haven't seen you for so long, and Uncle Huang is still so young." The county lord of Ceylon looked at Xiahou Rui with a chuckle, not afraid of him at all.
Xiahou Rui looked at her face, which was five points similar to that of King Dingxi, and her eyes narrowed slightly, looking like she was smiling.
"Your mouth is so sweet, it's not like your old stubborn father."
"What Uncle Huang said is that my father's temper is stinky and hard, and my niece doesn't like to talk to him."
Xia Hourui walked to the dragon chair and sat down. "You entered Beijing alone this time, does your father know?"
The county lord of Ceylon flashed a deep meaning in the blink of an eye, and when he raised his eyes, he was already smiling just now. "Uncle Huang, you want to help your niece, this time I sneaked out because my father wanted my niece to marry a nerd, and the nerd knew that he was holding a book all day long, like a fool, so my niece should not marry him."
"Oh? This marriage event, the life of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, how can you be a child's play? ”
"Uncle Huang, you just let me hide in the capital." The lord of Ceylon looked at Xiahou Rui with pleading eyes.
Xiahou Rui sighed helplessly. "That's it, that's it, you haven't been to Beijing for a while, so take this opportunity to have a good time in Beijing for a few days, and then I'll send someone to send you back."
"Really? Thank you so much, Uncle Huang, there are a lot of interesting things in Beijing, and my niece really can't wait to go out and see it now. ”
Xia Hourui waved his hand. "Go ahead, go ahead, anyway, you still have to be in Beijing for a few days, and then go to the concubine later."
The king of Dingxi was born by Concubine Ma and was the grandmother of the lord of Ceylon.
"Yes, Ceylon will go to see the concubine tomorrow, Ceylon will not disturb the imperial uncle, and Ceylon will retire."
"Go ahead, if you need anything, just come and tell me."
"Yes."
The Lord of Ceylon bowed down and launched the Hall of Comfort.
As soon as her figure disappeared outside the gate, the gentle smile on Xia Hourui's face gradually subsided.
"Find someone to keep an eye on."
"Yes."
As soon as the lord of Ceylon left the palace, a pair of smiling eyes immediately showed his anger.
"Did you find someone?"
The guards stepped forward with some embarrassment. "Back to the county lord, my subordinates and others are still looking for it."
"Smack!"
A heavy ear landed on the guard's face.
"Useless things, there are so many people on the street, the lord of this county doesn't believe that he can't find them, use silver, whoever can provide information about those two untouchables, will reward them with silver, those untouchables are not as good as dogs when they see silver."
"Yes, it's a subordinate, so I'll go."
……
"Miss, the old lady is waiting for you in the main hall."
As soon as Su Muge returned to Su Mansion, Xinlan hurriedly stepped forward.
"Do you know what you're looking for me?"
"The slave maid heard that Mrs. Shangshu is here."
Mrs. Ann is here......
"Got it."
Xin Che changed Su Muge's dress and combed her hair again before helping her to the main hall.
In the main hall, Mrs. Su sat upright, Zhao stood beside her, and Mrs. An sat on the guest seat.
The room was a little quiet, Mrs. An was drinking tea leisurely, Mrs. Su half-squinted her eyes as if she was asleep, the most uncomfortable was Zhao, although she sometimes reacted slowly, but this did not mean that she was stupid, just Mrs. An swept her from time to time, all of which made her feel a chill.
"Old lady, the eldest lady has arrived."
Old Madam Su's half-closed eyes opened a little when she heard this.
"Come in."
Su Muge walked into the main hall and bowed slightly.
Mrs. An put down the teacup in her hand and looked at Su Muge.
Mrs. An's gaze was too obvious, and it was difficult for Su Muge to ignore it.
"In the blink of an eye, this child has grown so big, and at first glance he is a clever child." Mrs. An had a gentle and dignified smile on her face, and she said that her daughter was a good father, but Su Muge felt that An looked more similar to Mrs. An, and even the corners of her lips were exactly the same.
"Thank you, Madame, for the compliment."
Old Madam Su glared at Su Muge with some dissatisfaction. "Where have you been in the middle of the day? What does a little girl who hasn't left the cabinet do all day long? ”
It turned out that Mrs. An came to reveal that she wanted to see Su Muge, and Mrs. Su sent someone to look for it, but found that Su Muge was not in the house, Mrs. Su was a little annoyed, she was a very old-fashioned person, and felt that women should stay in the backyard until they died, and it was enough to serve men and children and grandchildren well.
"Mother, Mu Ge is also playful for a while...... "Where can the Zhao family bear to see Su Muge being reprimanded by Mrs. Su.
"Hmph, how old are you and still playful, her father was born when I was her age! You too, a mother can't take care of her daughter! Old Madam Su's last sentence was very heavy, making the disguise on Mrs. An's face stiffen a little.
This old thing actually dared to scold Sang in front of her!
Mrs. An was very angry in her heart, but her face was still calm and light, as if she couldn't understand Mrs. Su's words.
Old Madam Su snorted lightly, her words were indeed referring to Sang scolding Mrs. Huai'an, but scolding Su Muge and Zhao was also true.
Mrs. Su didn't like Su Lun marrying An back then, not because she felt that Su Lun was climbing, but because she felt that Su Lun's behavior made her very faceless, and she felt that her son could have today because of her good upbringing, and Su Lun was angry herself.
But the existence of An's will always make people think that Su Lun is where he is today because he climbed to the top of Shangshumen!
This is also the reason why after she learned the news that Su Lun was going to marry An's family, she gave silver money to the Zhao family and asked her to go to Beijing to find Su Lun!
So how could Mrs. Su have a good face towards Mrs. An.
After all, Mrs. An is outside, and Zhao can only respond in a low voice: "What my mother said is that my daughter-in-law must discipline her well." ”
Mrs. Su was satisfied. "Mrs. An is here for something, right?"
Mrs. An felt more and more that Mrs. Su was vulgar and didn't even understand basic disguises. "I heard that a while ago, my daughter went to the temple to pray for the old lady, this filial piety really made my mother taste, this is about to reach my master's birthday, thinking why Yurong has to go back to celebrate her father's birthday?"
