Chapter 19: The College Changes
Su Wanqiu covered up Mingchen's identity in the past, although Su Jin didn't ask much, she couldn't help but look at Mingchen a few times, only to see that this little young man's face was like a finely crafted face, his eyebrows were like a crescent moon, and his eyes were like cold stars.
Ordinary people will definitely not be able to raise such an excellent teenager, and it should not be easy to think about his origin.
Su Jin nodded, Su Wanqiu spoke, he naturally didn't agree, so he smiled gently: "Okay." ”
Mingchen showed a happy look on his face, and Su Jin sat directly opposite Mingchen and talked about ancient characters with Mingchen.
Su Wanqiu held a volume of essays and sat quietly on the side to read it, not disturbing the two of them.
The tea mist curled in the room, the refreshing fragrance of tea overflowed, Su Jin and Mingchen talked about the contents of the ancient books from time to time, and Su Wanqiu was quietly reading the scroll in his hand alone.
Time passed, the sky was getting dark, and after a while, the afterglow of the slanting sun sprinkled through the window.
"Third Miss, there is a Li Gongzi outside the door who asks to see you." Shopkeeper Zhao walked to Su Wanqiu's side lightly and said in a low voice.
Su Wanqiu put down the book in her hand and said softly, "Then invite him in." ”
"Yes."
Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhao went out according to his words, Su Wanqiu's eyes turned to Mingchen, who was studying ancient books with Su Jin at this time, and looked very engrossed.
In Su Wanqiu's memory, Mingchen will die tragically in the hands of the fourth prince Mingrong in the future, and die in the hands of his brother who is very close and trusted, probably because of this, Su Wanqiu will be more close to Mingchen now.
"I didn't expect that the third lady still likes military books." A clear and elegant voice sounded from the side, and Mingyi looked at Su Wanqiu with a smile.
Shopkeeper Zhao had already invited Mingyi in, and when he saw this, he quietly retreated.
Su Wanqiu subconsciously stretched out her hand to cover the books on the table in front of her, but immediately thought that since Ming Yi had already seen it, it was useless to cover it, so she smiled calmly: "But just take a look, is Li Gongzi here to pick up the little boy?" ”
Mingyi nodded, and when he saw that Su Jin and Mingchen were in a trance, he didn't bother, but said: "Chen Mu has sent the fourth miss back to the Hou Mansion just now, and the third miss has leisure and has the heart to study the military book here." ”
Hearing the meaning of Mingyi's words, Su Wanqiu said very calmly: "Chen Gongzi is now living in the Hou Mansion, he is already on the same road with the fourth sister, and it is natural to send the fourth sister home, but it is Li Gongzi, if you are interested in my fourth sister, you can also come to the door to propose marriage, and it depends on whether my fourth sister agrees or not." ”
The smile on the corner of Mingyi's lips grew: "You really don't mind at all." ”
He had long seen that there was a deep estrangement between Su Wanqiu and Su Xueyi, which seemed to have a lot to do with Chen Mu, and he deliberately brought up this matter just to see Su Wanqiu's reaction, who knew that Su Wanqiu was so calm.
Su Wanqiu's fingers touched the cold teacup, lowered her head and said nothing, Mingyi saw this, she lost her interest in teasing, turned her head to look at Mingchen, and said loudly: "Chen'er, it's time to go." ”
The conversation between Su Wanqiu and Mingyi was low-voiced before, but at this moment Mingyi opened his mouth, Mingchen reacted.
"Sixth brother." Mingchen stood up.
Mingyi looked at Su Jin and smiled slightly: "Under Li Yi, thank you Su Gongzi for lecturing for my brother, but now that it's getting late, I won't bother, so I'll leave." ”
"Li Gongzi is polite." Su Jin nodded.
Seeing Mingyi leave with Mingchen, only Su Wanqiu and Su Jin were left in the inner room.
Only then did Su Jin turn his head to look at Su Wanqiu and asked, "Wanqiu, I'm afraid that the identities of these two people are not simple." ”
"Really? How did Big Brother know? Su Wanqiu's voice was shallow and asked with a smile.
"He's just a child, he can answer everything I said, ordinary people don't have the ability to raise such a smart child." Su Jin groaned.
The so-called genius is not only talented, but also taught by famous teachers from an early age, and ordinary people do not have such conditions.
"These two people...... surnamed Ming, the little boy is called Mingchen, and as for the Li Gongzi, it is called Mingyi. Su Wanqiu said slowly.
Su Jin was taken aback: "They are from the royal family?" ”
Su Wanqiu nodded: "Yes, although I don't know why they came to Linchuan, but in short, don't make enemies with them." ”
Su Jin had a thoughtful expression on her face.
"By the way, big brother, you haven't said it before, what happened in the academy?" Su Wanqiuxiu's eyebrows rose slightly and asked.
There are academies in all parts of Daluo, and there are Chengde Academies in Linchuan, but there are only the heirs of Linchuan nobles in Chengde Academy, and it is impossible for the children of the poor to enter Chengde Academy unless they are amazing.
Da Luo is preferable to literature, and aristocratic women can also enter the academy to study, but the Pingyang Hou Mansion invited Mr. Xi to enter the mansion, so Su Wanqiu does not have to enter the academy to study.
It's just that Su Jin is different, the teachers in the Hou Mansion are all female gentlemen, and Su Yu invited them for the four daughters in the mansion, Su Jin still has to go to Chengde Academy every day, and he will not be absent for no reason today.
"The four teachers in the academy died violently for no reason." Su Jinjian's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and said.
Su Wanqiu was stunned: "Died violently for no reason? ”
"Yes, the rest of the teachers have already gone to report this matter to the prefect, so there is no need to go to the academy these days."
"Then big brother should be more careful." Su Wanqiu pondered for a while, but she really didn't have any clue, "It's okay not to go for a few days, and avoid any trouble." ”
"By the way, the matter of Liuyue ......"
Hearing Su Jin say this, Su Wanqiu's eyes were suddenly dyed with a deep coldness: "The eldest lady just saw that Chen Mu was in the house, and it was expected that her father would not dare to search with great fanfare, so she framed the eldest brother, since she dared to do it, she must have dealt with it, and this matter has no meaning in the investigation." ”
Liuyue has followed Su Wanqiu for a long time, and there is also affection between the master and servant, but the eldest lady buried Liuyue's life alive, but she can't find any evidence, after all, Chen Mu is still in the house now, although Su Wanqiu doesn't like to calm down, but she is helpless.
Su Jin sighed slightly.
"Big brother doesn't have to be so pessimistic, the eldest lady will definitely not give up, we just need to catch her." Su Wanqiu said softly.
"She has stood tall in the house for so many years, and where is she so easy to get along with." Su Jin couldn't help frowning.
In the past, there were not only Aunt Xie and Aunt Shen in the mansion, but every newcomer in the mansion would always die violently or have an affair with others for various reasons, in short, they all died tragically one by one.
