Chapter 86: A Trip to Duanwang's Mansion II
When Su Yingxue heard Mama Shu's voice, she didn't dare to look up, and saw that Mama Shu's blue-gray embroidered shoes were standing there without moving, so she also stopped, and bowed according to the instructions given to her by Steward Li.
"Cao Min Su Fei has seen the princess and princess, the princess and the princess Fushou Kangning."
After a moment of silence, there was a middle-spirited man's laughter, "Su Gongzi, please get up quickly, no need to be formal." Then he listened to his instructions: "Come here, show Su Gongzi a seat." ”
Su Yingxue dared to get up, but she didn't dare to be too presumptuous, her head kept hanging slightly, the maids moved a round stool, and Su Yingxue sat down as instructed.
"Su Gongzi is young, but he took the Yongchuan Inn, and he is really a young talent." The deep baritone voice sounded again.
This is a bit interesting, and the people in the city who know about it have already spread it, saying that she borrowed the power of Duanwangfu to take the Yongchuan Inn from the hands of the four major families. Su Yingxue had heard about this matter, but firstly, she was busy dealing with affairs and didn't care, and secondly, she did it more or less, but she didn't come out to clarify, not to mention, the things in this world are always getting darker and darker, so she simply ignored it. I don't want to, but now it's spread to the owner.
Su Yingxue looked up, on the fine pear blossom wood carved table, there was a green jade porcelain bottle, inside which were a few newly inserted apricot blossoms, white and flawless, echoing the cyan color, which had a unique charm. There are several colors of vegetables and fruits next to it, all of which are rare for ordinary people, there are a few peels on the small plate on the side, and there is a good blue and white tea cup on both sides of the table.
On the left side of the table sat a middle-aged man wearing a dark purple embroidered python pattern wide robe, with a Chinese face, a tall nose, thick lips, a beard, a pair of eyes with a gentle smile, but with an extraordinarily sharp light, those eyes looked at Su Yingxue, as if they were about to see Su Yingxue through at a glance.
To the right of the table sat a woman, who appeared to be in her thirties, wearing a dark red pleated dress with a placket embroidered with chrysanthemums of the same color. The skin is white, the eyebrows and eyes are gentle, the red lips are slightly raised, and a pair of beautiful eyes are also looking at Su Yingxue. The head is combed with oblique cloud buns, and a phoenix flying golden hairpin is particularly dazzling.
"The prince praised it falsely," Su Yingxue clasped her fists and saluted, "This matter is thanks to the little prince's great help, otherwise it would never have been possible with the strength of the grass people alone." ”
"Oh, so this matter is really related to Jun'er?" King Duan glanced at the princess and said.
"Back to the prince, that's exactly the case." Su Yingxue's heart trembled, and she couldn't tell what she meant.
"Jun'er, that kid is naughty, you don't know it." The princess said this, and there was a hint of anger in her voice, not like the words of a woman in her thirties or forties. "How old is Su Gongzi this year, and where is he from?" The princess diverted the topic and asked Su Yingxue.
Su Yingxue answered truthfully, but she didn't say where she was from. After the matter of the shopkeeper Wan, she knew that Yangzhou Sufu had some reputation, and she didn't dare to make a mistake easily.
"Listening to Su Gongzi's accent, it seems to be from Yangzhou?"
It seemed that she couldn't hide, so Su Yingxue had no choice but to bow her head and smile: "Lord and Princess, the grass people were raised by the master since he was a child, and I heard the family teacher say that he was originally from Yangzhou, so the grass people also have some Yangzhou accents. Su Yingxue didn't say much, she didn't say much, her heart was spinning rapidly, and she wanted to make up her life experience.
"Oh? So, you don't have parents anymore? ”
"The grass people didn't know, but I was only three years old when I was picked up by my tutor, and it seems that I was separated from my family, and he searched for many places, but he couldn't find my parents, so he adopted me."
"Poor boy." The princess's voice came with a sigh. "It's hard for you to wander around alone at your young age."
Su Yingxue bowed her head and did not answer.
"When did Su Gongzi start to get into business?" King Duan suddenly asked.
From that questioning tone, Su Yingxue slightly felt that King Duan was questioning her, and she didn't dare to be careless at the moment.
"The grass people have not been exposed to these, but the teacher died, and I did not come down the mountain until three years after I kept filial piety." After Su Yingxue said this, she consciously continued, "Before his death, the family teacher said that his greatest wish before his death was to be the best businessman. It's a pity that his health has not been very good, otherwise he would never have died so depressed. The tutor left me the inheritance in his name and asked me to fulfill his last wish. Saying this, Su Yingxue lowered her head and raised the wide sleeves of her robe to wipe her eyes.
"Poor boy, don't get bad." The princess persuaded, while saying angrily: "It's all you, unprovoked, and it actually caused other people's sadness." ”
King Duan obviously didn't expect things to turn out like this, and because of the princess's face, he had to take the tea and drink it without speaking. just looked at Su Yingxue's eyes, and thought a little more.
It seems that the princess is soft-hearted, so it's better to fool a little, but this man is really not simple. Su Yingxue peeked at the faces of the two above, and couldn't help but slander in her heart, how did this Tang Jun do it, if he doesn't come again, I'm afraid that I won't be able to make it up.
"Listen to Jun'er, are you going to go to Bazhou?" Duan Wang put down the teacup and asked.
"Yes, Lord Wang." Su Yingxue replied, "It's just that I didn't want to disturb the little prince in this matter. But the little prince said that he had nothing to do all day, and that it was better to go out and see the world than to mingle with some people in the market. ”
"Be cautious in your words and deeds, plan your way" The note suddenly flashed in Su Yingxue's mind. Could it be?
Sure enough, Duanwang's voice sounded again: "Su Gongzi just took over such a big inn, there should be a lot of things to deal with, right?" How can you still have time to visit Bazhou? ”
"Yongchuan Inn is a decades-old shop, with all the staff and things available, and there are not many things to deal with. The things that the grass people need to arrange have also been arranged, and the few stewards in the inn have handled things very properly, so the grass people have been able to get out. Moreover, the last wish of the family teacher, the grass people dare not forget it at any time. I heard from the shopkeeper that it was also a great place to do business, so I thought about going and checking it out. ”
"Oh? It seems that Su Gongzi has some plans in his heart? ”
"Yes, the grass people have some plans, but whether they will succeed or not, it is uncertain, and they can only act according to opportunities."
Half-truths and half-truths are the most difficult to guess whether they are true or false.
Sure enough, King Duan pondered for a moment and said, "Since Su Gongzi is close friends with Xiao'er, can he know the holy order?" ”
Su Yingxue twisted her eyebrows: "What the prince said, but you can't leave Fengcheng privately?" ”
Duan Wang nodded.
Su Yingxue's heart sank, and sure enough, Tang Jun couldn't leave without permission. It's no wonder that Duanwang and his wife came to talk to her so solemnly. If it weren't for her, how could Tang Jun have that thought.
Su Yingxue suddenly understood Tang Jun's thoughts, which also pulled her own heart.
What about being noble? What if you have a family? There is no freedom, but it is just dry bones.
