Chapter 183: A Smart Man Speaks
The Zhou family's post is the day. Xiao Huang also went to the appointment immediately.
Getting off the carriage of the Marquis of Chang'an, Xiao Huang saw the surprised eyes of Mrs. Zhou's Bai as he wished.
The Bai clan looked behind Xiao Huang's and wondered if Su Zhaoning was still in the carriage.
Xiao Huang didn't know what Bai was thinking, took Bai's hand, and said very enthusiastically: "I'm really embarrassed to bother Sister Bai to come to greet me in person." Sister Bai, let's go in and talk. β
Xiao Huang's eyes looked at Bai's eyes, as if Su Rouhui's marriage to Zhou Dagongzi had not been successful, and the poisoning of the young lady Su Zhenyi had never happened.
The Bai clan had clearly seen that there was no second person in the carriage of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and she was not afraid of the Xiao Huang clan.
Xiao Huang's outfit, Bai's also pretended.
She replied with a smile: "Why should you be so polite between you and me, even if your cousin is a sister-in-law, we are in-laws." β
When Bai said this, he took the initiative to give Xiao Huang some face.
But whether Xiao Huang will cherish it or not, that is another story.
In the Chang'an Marquis's Mansion, Su Jinyu finally hurried back.
After he arrived at the house, he walked to Su Zhaoning's courtyard almost immediately.
Without the noisy second room of the fourth girl, Su Rouhui, the courtyard is quiet.
There seems to be no one in general.
When he walked to the inner courtyard, Su Jinyu met the atractylodes that was eating from Su Zhaoning's room.
"Baizhu, where is your young lady?" Su Jinyu's gaze fell on the plate of food that had not been touched at all in Baizhu's hand.
Bai Shu replied worriedly: "Miss doesn't know what the discomfort is, so she will fall asleep when she returns home." I've slept for two hours now. β
"Did you invite a doctor to come?" Su Jinyu frowned and asked.
He knew that his second sister was injured today.
Therefore, as soon as the emperor returned to the palace, Su Jinyu rode back to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion on horseback.
There are some pains that he has experienced himself, and he doesn't want his cherished second sister to experience the same.
Although, things have gone in a direction that is beyond his control.
Baizhu is the one that Su Zhaoning's personal maid thinks more carefully. When she served Su Zhaoning to bed, she had already discovered the injuries on her master's hands.
She replied, "Mademoiselle won't let you ask for a doctor." But the slave noticed that her palms had marks similar to strangulation. β
Pull the bow too hard.
Su Jinyu understands. He glanced at the food on the Baizhu plate again, and ordered, "You follow me to the small kitchen." β
In the entire Chang'an Hou Mansion, there are a total of three small kitchens.
One in the courtyard of Mrs. Hou.
One in Mrs. Hou's yard.
There is another one, which is in Su Jinyu's yard.
Although he has not cooked himself for many years, as the future heir of the basic ironclad of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, he can naturally have a small kitchen that can be eaten as you go.
In the small kitchen, because the master was not there, the two cooks were chatting while picking the dishes in their hands.
"You say, is the second lady in her belly a young master or a girl?" The cook cut off the rotten end and threw it aside.
The other cook moved all the rotten vegetables with her feet, then picked up the unbroken bundle next to her and untied them completely, and put them together with the dishes she was picking. She lowered her voice and replied, "They all say that a round-bellied daughter, a sharp-bellied son, I look at it, it looks like a girl." β
"I think it's good to be a girl, if it's a son, the second lady will go to heaven in the future. The second lady is going to have a good life again. "The previous cook put all the good dishes together. She actually thinks that the second miss is quite pitiful.
When I was so young, I didn't have a mother. The second master is unreliable. really has a stepmother and a stepfather, and the second lady has had a really bumpy time over the years.
The cook on the left bent down to clean up all the rotten dishes, and said curiously: "Speaking of which, I saw the second lady directly take away the post for the second lady today." I don't know where that post was delivered. β
"I just went to the outer door and happened to bump into the second lady going out, I heard that I was going to some Shangshu Mansion, and it wouldn't be the second lady, so I ...... directly" The mother-in-law on the right held the good dishes in her arms together, stood up and wanted to put them on the stove.
When she looked up, she happened to see the person at the door, and her voice suddenly stopped.
The mother-in-law who cleaned up the rotten vegetables hadn't reacted yet, she guessed from the other party's words: "The second lady is definitely going to spoil the second lady." Now that the second lady's posts are constantly receiving, the second lady's eyes are probably red. You know, the fourth lady is still in the temple......"
"What is the post?" Su Jinyu asked in a deep voice.
Baizhu bowed his head and followed, not saying a word.
She was thinking in her heart, Shangshu Mansion, Miss didn't seem to have anything to do with other Shangshu Mansions. What she had heard of was the Ministry of Rites Shangshufu.
After all, it was the third girl's in-law's house.
Three girls?
Could it be that the third girl has a bad heart again, the second lady is gone, but don't be embarrassed!
Bai Zhu's heart was very high, but the situation in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites was not at all what she had guessed.
Su Zhenyi didn't come out to meet the guests at all.
In the entire hall, there is only Mrs. Zhou, the same son of Zhou.
Seeing the talented Zhou Dagongzi, the sour water in Xiao Huang's stomach was about to overflow.
Is it really that the eldest son of Zhou wants to see the dead mother?
Her daughter, which point is inferior to Su Zhaoning!
It's better than a dead mother!
"How can the virtuous nephew have time today? I used to hear your mother say that you are busy with official business. Xiao Huang smirked and looked at the eldest son of Zhou in front of him.
Grand Prince Zhou has some impressions of this Second Lady Su.
After all, this person who had aspired to be his future mother-in-law had been so entangled.
Thinking of the reason why he wanted to see Su Zhaoning, the eldest prince of Zhou replied: "Mrs. Su is a distinguished guest, how dare she slack off." β
The more Zhou Dagongzi lifted himself, the worse Xiao Huang's feelings became.
When she came to the Zhou Mansion for her daughter, she had never received such attention.
Where did the eldest prince of Zhou come to see himself!
Xiao Huang's heart was annoyed and sour, and he couldn't help but sarcastically say: "Today is extraordinarily valuable." β
Grand Prince Zhou glanced up at Xiao Huang, and his eyes were undisguised in surprise.
Such a stupid woman! How did she give birth to such a smart daughter?
Zhou Dagongzi is not a simple-minded person. He didn't say anything about An Yi's matter, but he saw it clearly in his heart.
The county lord of An Yi is an enemy of love, but today's species, if it is purely An Yi's own death, Prince Zhou will not believe it.
In addition, Chen Tianyang is a military attachΓ©, and he has interesting things about the girls in the Chang'an Hou Mansion, and the eldest prince of Zhou has also heard a little.
Contacting today's variety, there is no doubt that eighty percent of Chen Tianyang's favorite is Miss Su Er.
In terms of dealing with her rivals, the second girl Su is stronger than the county lord of Anyi, I don't know how many times.
Mr. Zhou likes to deal with smart people.
For the sake of the smart Su Zhaoning, he still didn't show a look of disgust for her mother.
Sitting on the seat, Master Zhou calmly took a sip of tea, and then introduced to Xiao Huang's family: "Mrs. Su, please try it, this tea is newly picked this year." β
What about Xueliqing, their Chang'an Hou Mansion is not a good tea!
Xiao Huang didn't give Zhou Dagongzi face, she didn't even look at the tea in front of her, and she didn't prepare to take a cup of taste.
Facing Mrs. Zhou's Bai, Xiao Huang said very bluntly: "I received Sister Bai's post today, and I was very surprised. In the past, I always brought my four girls to visit my sister. How did Sister Bai remember to see the second girl today? β
"It's my mother's negligence." Without waiting for the Bai clan to speak, Xiao Huang went straight down and said, "It turns out that the second girl inadvertently fell into the eyes of so many nobles. Don't hide it from Sister Bai, a few days ago, the Hussar General's Mansion also sent a matchmaker over. I don't know if my sister is ...... today."
Xiao Huang's words just stopped at the critical place.
Zhou Dagongzi was suddenly shocked by Xiao Huang's stupidity for the second time.
The etiquette of this dynasty is relaxed, and he Zhou Ruoshen is far from being as rigid as Su Jinyu. But even so, it didn't say how many people proposed their daughters in front of a man who obviously had thoughts about his daughter.
Do you think that you can raise your own value in this way?
Or did he not guess the intentions of his Zhou family at all?
Either way, Grand Prince Zhou felt that Mrs. Su was too stupid.
stupid enough to make him less appreciative of her daughter.
Although the eldest prince of Zhou is smart, he has never paid attention to the second room of the Chang'an Hou Mansion in the past, because he doesn't know that Xiao Huang is not Su Zhaoning's biological mother.
But his mother, Bai, was in the know.
Regarding Xiao Huang's behavior of suppressing his stepdaughter, Bai is very disdainful.
She replied unscrupulously: "Second Miss Su is talented and virtuous, and when she embroidered the little prince's blessing for Concubine Zhen, I really wanted to invite her to the mansion as a guest." β
Don't you hope that I care about and mind what you say, so as to affect my perception of Miss Su Er?
I don't!
Bai's statement but not completely pointed out made Xiao Huang's really angry. I saw a sneer on the corner of Xiao Huang's mouth, and replied: "Don't hide it from Sister Bai, the house is also very lively now." On my eldest daughter's side, the posts are always ......"
This is an allusion to the fact that the other party is picking the object to go to the appointment, and the Ministry of Rites Shangshufu is obviously not selected.
When Bai Shi heard this, he was also a little angry in his heart. She asked suspiciously, "I don't know what Miss Su's own tendency is?" β
Whoever it is, it's not your family anyway.
Xiao Huang felt that her initial provocation had already seen the effect, and she continued to say: "The child is older, and I can't be her master." A few days ago, I went out without a sound for several days. β
"There seem to be a lot of posts on Gu Zhongshuling's house." After Xiao Huang finished speaking, he chuckled lightly and said to himself, "Her eldest brother protects her, I'm afraid no one will care about her." β
Xiao Huang's words outlined a Su Er girl who disobeyed her parents and had abandoned etiquette to the extreme.
Zhou Dagongzi looked at Xiao Huang's stupidity, and was hesitating in his heart whether to stick to the previous decision, and the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion came to deliver a letter.
After reading the letter, Master Zhou felt that listening to a smart person was a thousand times better than facing a stupid person.
