Chapter 3 Preparations

The Su family is just a small family, and the ancestors were very prominent in the previous dynasty, but Su Shuyan, a side branch of the side branch, has a bad relationship with the people in the clan.

Su Jingxi's grandfather died early, and no one in the clan helped them orphans and widows, and it was all because her grandmother relied on that meager dowry and embroidery work to pull Su Shuyan up and provide him with education all the time.

Fortunately, Su Shuyan studied hard and also had talent, relying on himself to climb up step by step, and now he is studying from the Hanlin Academy of Wupin.

also owns a small mansion in the capital, which may not be enough in the eyes of others, but the Su family feels very satisfied.

"Daddy, mother," Su Jingxi knelt on the ground after waiting for them to take their seats.

Su Shuyan hurriedly stood up, "What are you doing here?" Hurry up and let people see what kind of system it is? ”

Su Jingxi knew that her father had read poetry and books since he was a child, and he was subject to orthodox thoughts, and he was a little old-fashioned.

"Daddy, this is our own family, it doesn't matter," paused, "My daughter has been selected, and I will enter the palace soon, so I can't be around my father and mother for a long time, be filial to my father, and ask my father and mother to take care of their health, so that my daughter can feel at ease in the harem." ”

"What are you talking about? Our family can still be reunited......" Su cried, but he couldn't say it anymore halfway through the words.

Su Jingxi wiped her tears, "What my mother said is that my daughter will definitely protect herself well, strive to ascend to a high position as soon as possible, and reunite with her mother." ”

"The family doesn't expect you to be favored for a long time, not to seek glory and wealth, I just hope that you can protect yourself in the harem, remember not to be impulsive in case of trouble, think twice before you act," Su Shuyan looked at this daughter who grew up with a pamper, and solemnly instructed.

"Daddy rest assured, my daughter knows how to behave, and she will try to protect herself, no matter what kind of news comes out of the palace, I hope that my father and mother will not listen to one-sided words, and do not do reckless things, as long as I remember, as long as my father and mother are safe and healthy, my daughter will not give up on herself."

"Don't worry, don't worry about us, and your brothers," Su Shuyan touched his beard, a sensible and intelligent daughter, maybe she can really fight a bloody path in the harem.

When Su Junde heard this, he immediately said, "Sister, don't worry, my brother will definitely take care of my father." ”

"Yes, yes, and me, little sister, don't worry," Su Junwen also patted his chest and promised.

Su Jingxi showed a smile and saluted, "Two elder brothers, in the future, I will have to bother my brother to do filial piety for my sister." ”

"It's just that my sister still has something to say to my father and two brothers, no matter what position I have in this canonization, and no matter what position I will occupy in the palace in the future, I also ask my father and two brothers to remember that glory will decline, and everything is too much, so it is the best policy to act low-key and be a low-key person."

Su Shuyan glanced at her appreciatively, "Jingxi, rest assured, Daddy understands this truth, no matter what position you have, you are a gift from the Heavenly Family, and it has nothing to do with the Su Family." ”

Su Jingxi knew that her father was telling her that no matter what height she reached in the future, the Su family was just a Su family, and no one would do anything in her name.

"Brother knows, it's just that if you have any difficulties in the palace, you must pass on the news, no matter how bad the Su family is, it's okay to help you a little," Su Junde knew what she meant after a little thought, and assured at the moment, and said with some worry.

"Brother don't worry, it's best for my sister to know what to do," Su Jingxi couldn't bear to refuse his kindness and said vaguely.

If she really has any difficulties in the palace one day, it must be disliked by the saint, or she has made a big mistake, and the Su family can't help her at all.

After she entered the palace, whether she was good or bad had nothing to do with the Su family, at least, on the surface.

"My brother is also going to participate in the imperial examination next year, and my sister must be waiting for my brother's good news in the palace, and I wish my brother success here."

Su didn't understand this, and he didn't get involved in it, so he only went to the treasury to get a lot of silver tickets, and prepared some things for her, thinking about what she could take away.

"Mother, don't clean up, mother talk to me," Su Jingxi entered her mother's room, seeing that she had been busy all the time.

Su's tears haven't stopped since she came back, "Xi'er, my mother is really afraid of ......"

Su Jingxi was also a little sour when she heard this, and snuggled up to her mother's shoulder, "Mother, don't you always talk about marrying me?" You see, I'm getting married right now. ”

"Who is that marrying...... Su Shi stopped in the middle of speaking, glanced at her face, and found that she had no emotional changes before he was slightly relieved.

Su Jingxi knew what her mother meant, entering the harem, as long as she was not a queen, she was a concubine, and she was a concubine if she said it nicely.

"My mother also prepared a lot of dowries for you, starting from the time you were born, one by one, and now there are many of them, well, and this, it is a birthday gift for you, and now I will give it to you in advance."

Su Jingxi took it and opened the box, a crystal rose hairpin, she has loved crystal ornaments since she was a child, and her mother also made her a crystal style every time.

"Mother, you don't have to worry, this time she entered the palace at her own will," Su Jingxi felt that she was still telling the truth to her mother.

The Su family is a traditional lady, and the grace and weakness of Jiangnan women are especially evident in her.

Su Shi was a little stunned, and then a little angry, "Didn't my mother tell you not to be so prominent, and if you go home after losing the election, will your mother pick a good marriage for you again?" Do you not believe in my mother or ......"

Su Jingxi sighed, "Mother, you listen to me first." ”

"My daughter has always envied her father's love for her mother, and longed for a husband like her father in the future, who loves her daughter like a treasure, but how many men in this world can be like her father?"

Su Shuyan has never taken a concubine in his life, but he had a room girl before, but he died of illness later, and then there was only one woman in the Su family.

"I will always find it, my mother will definitely help you find it," Su is indeed very happy, her mother-in-law has lived in the temple for many years, and she will not stuff people into her son's room regardless of her chores.

Her husband loves her very much, she has both children and daughters, and she is harmonious and filial, and in this life, she can be said to have lived a complete life.

Su Jingxi personally poured a cup of tea for Su Shi and handed it to her, "Mother, I don't think I will meet in my life, since I won't meet her, then even if I am destined to compete with her for a husband, I would rather marry the most noble man in the world and be the most noble person." ”

Su Shi took the teacup and was a little stunned, "You tell your mother the truth, did you already have these thoughts?" ”

So every time she told her before, she was always unwilling, pushing back, and she thought she was the shyness of her daughter's family.

Su Jingxi smiled and did not deny it, these thoughts have been there for her almost since she came to this dynasty.

She can't do it with someone to serve a husband, but if that person is the emperor, she can't help it.

The whole family had dinner together in Su's place, walked through the small garden, and saw the three big characters of Xifeng Courtyard in the distance, which were inscribed by her father after she was born.

Walking in, she is very familiar with the grass and trees here, she likes to eat peaches, so Su Shi asked people to plant several peach trees at the door, and there are swings next to them, so many years, they are still there.

"Miss, you're back," Tingyao and Tingqin saw her come in, and hurriedly put down their things and walked over.

Su Jingxi sat on the chair, "Well, I'm back." ”

Tingyao and Tingqin glanced at each other, and knelt down in front of her, "Slave maid, congratulations to Miss for getting what she wants." ”

Others don't know if Su Jingxi really wants to be chosen, but the two maids who serve them personally know best.

"Well, your monthly money has doubled this month, even if I gave you these two butterfly hairpins as a souvenir," Su Jingxi walked to the dresser and took out two hairpins from the jewelry box.

"The slave is willing to follow Miss to the death," neither of them took what she had in her hand, but kowtowed and said.

After a few breaths, Su Jingxi spoke, "Get up." ”

"It must be impossible to bring the two of you into the palace together, but in case you can bring one, I hope to take Tingyao, do you have any opinions?"

Tingyao has a much calmer personality than Tingqin, and she is also proficient in human affairs, and the important thing is that she knows a little bit of medical skills.

In comparison, listening to the piano is too simple and naΓ―ve, easy to trust others, and his personality is completely unsuitable for living in the deep palace.

"The slave has no opinion, the slave is willing to swear to follow the young lady and serve the young lady," Hearing Yaofu kowtowed again.

"The slave and maid have no opinion, the slave and maid believe that Tingyao can serve a good lady better than the slave maid," Tingqin also kowtowed.

Su Jingxi personally got up and helped the two of them up, they have served her since childhood, and the affection between them is naturally not shallow.

"Tingqin, your father and mother are in the Su family, after I leave, you can go to my mother's room to serve," and turned to Tingyao and said, "If I can't take you into the palace, you can also go to my mother's room." ”

"The slave has no father and no mother, if the slave and maid can't follow the young lady into the palace, they must serve the lady well, please rest assured," Listening to Yao, she naturally knew what Su Jingxi couldn't rest assured about.

Su Jingxi nodded, and under the service of the two of them, she finished freshening up and lay on the bed, unable to sleep for a long time.

Looking at the patterns on the lotus-colored bed tent on the top of the bed, I suddenly felt a little unreal, for so many days, what happened felt like I was in a dream.

It has been fourteen years since she came to this world, and she is also fatherless, motherless, and alone in modern times, so she has always been very grateful to the Su family for giving her the warmest home, and they love her as much as they can.

Therefore, in the future, what she has to do is not only for herself, but also for them, she must live well, and live well.
