Chapter 499: Master Su who embezzled public funds

The latest chapter of the noble girl's marriage

As she spoke, she turned her head to Su Xiyun and said, "Su Xiǎojié, it's really better to see than to hear." ”

Su Xiyun also stood up and saluted back to the other party, and said lightly: "Shi Sixiǎojié said that he laughed. "It's polite and distant.

The queen smiled and said, "Okay." Don't stand, all of you, come and sit. "The giant array is especially talented.

"Yes! Empress! The two girls answered together, and then sat down beside the queen one by one, and the queen opened the second album again.

"Niangniang, this is ......" Shi Jinfeng asked in some surprise.

The empress looked down at the beautiful women in the book, and replied, "This is the xiǎojié portrait of some officials in Beijing. ”

Shi Jinfeng was very smart, the queen only said this, she guessed what these were for, and immediately said: "Niangniang, these are for His Royal Highness to choose concubines, right?" As he spoke, he smiled slightly.

When the queen heard this, she couldn't help but look up at her, and when she saw the smile on her face, somehow. There was a hint of guilt on his face. It took a long time before he said: "Jinfeng, your sister is gone, and the palace is very sad, but you can't be without a wife, do you understand?" ”

"Jinfeng understands." Shi Jinfeng still had a smile on his face, as if he really didn't care about this matter.

Su Xiyun stood aside. She remembered the news that Zhou Can had inquired about before, since the death of Concubine Shi, the Shi family was ready to move, and was ready to send another girl into the palace to continue to occupy the position of the concubine, but unfortunately neither the emperor nor the emperor agreed to this matter, although the queen did not say anything, but she did not support it as before.

This Shi Jinfeng should be the woman that the Shi family is going to stuff into the East Palace, and she looks so similar to the late concubine, no wonder the queen is so enthusiastic about her. Su Xiyun thought, then glanced at the other party, and when she saw the smile in the other party's eyes, she understood that the woman in front of her was also a person who was good at disguise. It doesn't matter if you're happy or not, but you can do it. The emotions are not exposed at all, which can be regarded as a powerful woman.

Thinking of this, Su Xiyun couldn't help but sweat for Su Daiyun.

"Niangniang, look, this little granddaughter of the Xue family is fourteen this year, she looks like a fairy at a young age, and she is extremely intelligent, and she is just right for His Royal Highness." At this moment, Shi Jinfeng pointed to a woman in the album and said to the queen with a smile.

When Su Xiyun heard this, she immediately stretched out her head to take a look, and found that the woman in the painting was somewhat similar to Xue Sumei. It's just that it's a little younger in age. Thinking about it again, Shi Jinfeng said that this girl's surname is Xue, so it seems that it should be the sister of Xue Sumei, who was married to His Royal Highness the Five Emperors.

When the queen heard this, she frowned tightly and said: "This girl is good, but she is younger, and it will take a few years to marry into the palace before she can have an heir, but it will not work." Change one. ”

"That's what the mother said." Shi Jinfeng smiled lightly at the queen and put this matter aside.

On the same day, the queen read all the girls in the book, and failed to choose a one that she liked. Those girls are either a little wrong here or bad there, in short, they were all vetoed by the queen.

Shi Jinfeng stayed in the palace until the afternoon, and then said goodbye to the queen and went home, but Su Xiyun stayed in the side hall because the queen kept her.

Early in the morning, Su Lao ate early and took a carriage to prepare to leave the house. Master Su, who rushed over from the front yard, looked at Mr. Su who was already sitting in the carriage in surprise and said, "Mother, where are you going?" Your wounds aren't healed yet! ”

"It's okay." Su Lao poked his head out of the window and said to the eldest master: "Mother will go to Baiyun Nunnery, you don't have to worry, go to the court quickly!" ”

"To Baiyunan?" Master Su was taken aback: "Mother, it takes half a day to go to Baiyun Nunnery, can you stand it?" ”

So far, Su Lao's board in Baiyun Nunnery has not been good, and he will have a faint pain after sitting for a long time, and the road of Baiyun Nunnery is so far, Master Su's worries are not unreasonable, but Su Lao is still unmoved when he listens: "If my mother doesn't go to the mountain in person, will the old daughter-in-law come back obediently?" ”

For those dowries, she fought hard!

When Master Su heard this, he understood what the 'method' Su Lao said yesterday was, and she felt that she was going to go to the nunnery to invite Mrs. in person! Although he was dissatisfied with his mother's behavior of surrendering his identity, but after thinking about it carefully, Master Su found that if he wanted to ask his wife to go down the mountain, there was only one way.

Although he thought so, the eldest master still stopped: "Mother, you are not in a hurry to go up the mountain first, we should first send someone to find out the tone of the younger siblings, if she agrees, then you don't have to spend so much effort, after all, the eldest daughter married and she couldn't come back, and she should want to come back this time when the younger daughter marries." ”

"If she resents us for letting her stay in the mountains for so many years and is unwilling to come down, it will be more appropriate for you to go out again at that time." The eldest man said eloquently.

Su Lao sat in the carriage, frowned and thought carefully for a long time after listening, and then nodded and said, "What you said is right, you should send someone up the mountain to find out the old daughter-in-law's tone." ”

"Then mother, will you go back?" Master Su said with a smile.

Su Lao nodded, when he held Master Su's hand, slowly got out of the car, and when he commanded Mama Lin: "You hurry up and take the carriage to Baiyun Nunnery, how to say it specifically, you don't need me to teach you, right?" ”

"Yes! Old, slaves and maids know! Mama Lin nodded hurriedly.

Su Lao waved her hand and told her to go down.

"Why don't you go to the court?" Seeing that Master Su was still standing there, Su Lao immediately asked curiously.

Master Su didn't answer, but only stretched out his hand to help Su Lao and walk towards Chunhui Courtyard: "Mother, go back first, I have something to tell you." ”

When Su Lao heard this, she couldn't help but stare at him suspiciously, and glanced at the maids around her, when she stopped her mouth, waited until she entered the house, and after holding back left and right, she turned her head to Master Su and said, "Okay, what do you have to say, let's talk about it now!" ”

"Mother, can you find a way to get Xiyun out of the palace? Things have been a bit bad lately. Seeing that there was no one else in the house, the expression on Master Su's face instantly became a little worried: "Er has recently embezzled a batch of public funds, and the investigation has been tightened recently, I heard that the person who is mainly responsible for this matter is, you let Xiyun go to intercede with King Rong and suppress this matter!" ”

"Embezzlement?" Boss Su was taken aback and said, "Jingci, how did your guts become so big!" How much have you appropriated? ”

When Master Su heard the reprimand, he immediately lowered his head: "It's not much, it's just a hundred thousand taels of silver." ”

"One hundred thousand taels?" Su Lao suddenly screamed, and the sound was so loud that even a few birds parked in the trees in the courtyard were startled. The guards waiting in the courtyard suddenly jumped.

"Mother, be quiet!" Master Su said dissatisfiedly: "You want to shout to let everyone know about this matter, right?" ”

"What did you do with all that money?" Su Lao lowered his voice, but the expression on his face was still full of shock. It's a pity that after listening to the words below, her face immediately turned green.

"Son, take it and gamble, and lose it all." Master Su lowered his head, his voice was like a mosquito, and he didn't dare to look up at Old Su's face at all.

Su Lao felt that the world was spinning in an instant, she was still worried about the dowry here, and she poked such a big basket out here, oh my God! What is she going to pay back so much silver!

"You, you reverse! Are you trying to ruin the Bofu? After a long time, Su Lao gritted his teeth and said.

"Mother, I don't want to!" When the old man Su heard this, he raised his head instantly, and his face was full of helplessness: "I promise you that I will never gamble again!" You just let Xiyun help this time! ”

"If it weren't for Cheng'anbo's Mansion, if it wasn't for me, would she have such a good family now? It's all thanks to us! Now it's just asking her to help such a small favor, and she dares to refuse! "The big lord will play the shamelessness to the fullest.

Su Lao listened to these words and was speechless for a long time.

"Has His Royal Highness King Rong found you here?" After a long time, Su Lao Cai asked in a hoarse voice.

Master Su raised his head and glanced at his mother cautiously, and then replied: "Not yet, but the officials who were found out before have been dismissed, and I want Xiyun to go and ask His Royal Highness King Rong to intercede first, so that when it is his turn, he will not be so unlucky." ”

"But since His Royal Highness King Rong knows that you are Xiyun's uncle, he won't attack you, right?" Su Lao was a little puzzled and said, "There is no need for Xiyun to open this mouth at all." ”

"Mother, you don't understand!" Master Su sighed and said: "His Royal Highness King Rong is a master who does things and does not recognize his six relatives, and some of the previous officials were related to him, but he also handled it, so he asked you to talk to Xiyun!" ”

When Su Lao heard this, a few surprised expressions suddenly appeared on her face, she looked down, and from Master Su's expression, she could see that this matter was true.

"Okay, when Xiyun comes back from the palace, my mother will tell her about it." Su Lao finally relented.

But when Master Su heard this, not only did his face not relax, but he became more and more nervous: "Mother! No! His Royal Highness King Rong is investigating the case in these two years, and when Xiyun comes back from the palace by himself, I don't know when it will be! ”

"What then?" Hearing what the eldest master said, Su Lao also began to get anxious.

"We have to find a way to let Xiyun come back from the palace earlier!" Master Su spoke.

"I'm just an old woman in a deep house, and I can't go to the palace, how can I find a way to get Xiyun out of the palace? Aren't you kidding? Old man Su said speechlessly.

Master Su was silent for a while.

"Why don't you let Qianyun also go into the palace to greet the queen's mother, and then let her bring news to Xiyun by the way?" Master Su said tentatively. This was his purpose in the first place. With Su Lao alone, he naturally couldn't invite Su Xiyun out of the palace, and only people from the Bai family could do this when they entered the palace.

"No! Qianyun is pregnant, in case of an accident, it will not be good! Su Lao vetoed.

Seeing this, Master Su immediately "plopped!" He knelt down in front of Su Lao, and said with tears in his eyes: "Mother, in your heart, is your son or nephew important?" You are worried about the child in Qianyun's belly, don't you care? If you don't find Xiyun as soon as possible, your official position won't be kept! ”

When Su Lao heard this, the expression on her face suddenly loosened a little, she glanced at Master Su, and said with a heavy face: "Do you have to be like this?" ”

"Mother, it's just to go to the queen's Kunning Palace to sit down, what can I do? You're making a fuss too, aren't you? Qianyun will be fine! Master Su continued: "Besides, how many women in Beijing have entered the palace to visit their mothers when they are pregnant, isn't there nothing wrong?" ”

When Su Lao heard this, although he still felt a little inappropriate in his heart, he couldn't find any words to refute it.

"Mother, you just agreed!" Master Su burst into tears and said, "Please!" ”

Su Lao looked at this pitiful appearance, and finally her heart softened, she sighed and said, "Okay, my mother will go this trip for you." ”

"Thank you, mother!" Master Su finally showed a light smile on his face, lined with those two lines of tears, which looked very funny.

Su Lao couldn't help but stretch out his hand, slowly wiped away the two lines of tears with a handkerchief, and said in a low voice: "You remember, only this time, if you gamble again next time, my mother will not save you again!" ”

Master Su's heart suddenly jumped, and his whole body stiffened, but he soon relaxed.

Su Lao said this just to scare him, he is her son, if it is really difficult, can she really stand by and watch? He didn't believe it.

After Master Su wiped his tears and went out to go to the court, Su Lao cleaned up his things and went out again, this time, her carriage went straight to the Bai family in the Marquis of Jing'an.

When the carriage arrived at the door of Bai's house, Su Lao asked people to hand over the name post.

When the housekeeper of Baifu saw that he was the old man of Cheng'anbo Mansion, he immediately didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly invited people to come in, and rushed back to report the news.

Su Lao waited at the door for a while, and then saw a noblewoman dressed in gorgeous clothes walking out of the gate.

"Elder in-laws, what kind of wind blew you here today?" Without waiting for Su Lao to speak, the noble lady stepped forward with a smile and said. A noble girl seeks to marry
