Chapter 106: Behind the Hypocrisy
"By the way, a few of us just discussed doing a charity sale at the West Gate after the meeting, auctioning off some things that are not needed, raising funds for charity, and donating them to the Charity Hall, can the five sisters be together?" Su Changle smiled softly and asked softly, she was dressed in white, and she emitted a faint halo under the shroud of the sun, just like a fairy descending to earth.
Su Jinyan looked at Su Tang'an and said coldly: "You are a person from Ziwei Palace, Ziwei Palace does good deeds and righteous deeds, there have been a lot of homeless people in the capital recently, if you don't settle it well, there will be a lot of trouble, it is said that this kind of thing Ziwei Palace should be the first, but fifth sister, as a person from Ziwei Palace, you don't seem to be conscious at all!"
"Since it's doing good deeds, I won't shirk it. Su Tang'an said, "That's good, there is a painting in my room, it was given to me by my master on my birthday, and I will send it to my eldest sister later, so that my eldest sister can auction it, and I will also raise more money and give more relief to some people." ”
Knowing that the painting that Gong You gave her on Su Tang'an's birthday, it was a treasure, and it was worth a fortune, but I was afraid that the things donated by these people could not add up to one-tenth of that painting!
"Are you really willing to do it?" asked the leisurely county lord with a sinking face.
"It's just something outside the body, what is there to be reluctant to, since it is a good deed, the master will not object to it. I'm not a person who knows how to paint, and it's a terrible thing to stay in my hands, if it can be exchanged for money to help more people, and can go to the hands of people who really know how to paint, then it will kill two birds with one stone!"
"You are so generous, and I will not be stingy enough. The county lord said, "I have another jade Ruyi there, although it is not as good as the things in the palace, it is still a treasure, and I also donated it." ”
The county lord spoke, and although the other people were not very happy in their hearts, they all donated some really valuable items.
Su Changle said with a smile: "All the sisters are kind-hearted and good people, and I thank you for your generosity on behalf of the refugees." Thank you, Ann Tachibana, are you going with us?"
"I don't understand this, my eldest sister will definitely arrange these things properly, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much, I won't make trouble. Su Tang'an said lightly, "I still have something to do, I'm out of company!"
Su Tang'an left, and Su Jinyan said unhappily: "It's obviously organized by the eldest sister, and it took a lot of effort, but it made her eyeballs!"
"Shut up!" Su Changle taught, "It's all about doing good deeds, not for fame, as long as it can be good for refugees!"
"Changle is indifferent to fame and fortune!" one person praised, "People are beautiful and kind-hearted, and they are talented, and I don't know who will be blessed to marry you back in the future!"
"Don't make fun of me!" Su Changle smiled shyly, "This time, Tang An is generous, our activities can be bigger and help more people! Let's discuss some of these details!"
Su Tang'an returned to Lingyue Pavilion, looked at Qing'er following behind angrily, kept silent, and asked with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Miss, what are you thinking!" Qing'er sighed and said, "The painting that Gong You Zhenren sent, although Qing'er is dull, knows that the painting is really priceless." If the eldest lady wants to participate, just send some things over, why sacrifice so much, just to fulfill the good name that the eldest lady has been operating for many years? If the young lady really has a heart, the painting is sold, enough to do ten such good deeds, and the young lady's own reputation has also come out, Qing'er can't figure it out. ”
"When you first followed me, I was short of money, and if I wanted to reward a subordinate, I also needed to be a jade pendant, but now the situation is different, firstly, the second lady will not treat me badly in terms of money, and secondly, the rewards in the palace and the things given by the master are really valuable, and more money is just a number, and more and less has no impact on our lives, they are all things for the body, why bother so much? Besides, do you think I'm just for the eldest lady?"
"Does Miss still have a deep meaning?" asked Qing'er puzzled.
"You'll find out later. Su Juan said, "But the eldest lady's reputation and prestige in the Hou Mansion has always been very good, but you don't seem to like her, why is that?"
"Miss doesn't know. Qing'er sighed slightly, "The eldest lady may not remember the slave maid, when the slave maid first came to the Hou Mansion, she was a maid who did rough cleaning work in the yard of the eldest lady, the eldest lady was gentle, and she did not beat and scold the maid, and they all said that following such a master was a blessing from Sansheng cultivation." But the slave maid later found out that the eldest lady may not be really generous, the atmosphere in Qiyue Pavilion is not good, and the subordinates often report each other, of course, the eldest lady doesn't care about these things, and some of her henchmen and maids deal with those who have been handled, of course, the hands are very heavy, so the people in Qiyue Pavilion are cold and cold, for fear of doing something wrong. ”
After a pause, Qing'er continued: "The slave maid doesn't believe that the eldest lady doesn't know about these things, that's her yard, if there is no acquiescence from her, how can this wind of mutual accusations be blown, if there is no connivance from her, how can her personal maid punish other subordinates." Later, a maid was found because she stole a bite of the eldest lady's bird's nest, and then was forced to jump into the well, of course, she was caught because of stealing, and the eldest lady forgave her, and she felt that she could no longer face the eldest lady, so she committed suicide. The eldest lady also cried for the maid, and also gave her monthly order to her sister who was also a servant girl in the house, and the Hou Mansion praised the eldest lady for her kindness and kindness, and only a few people knew the truth of the matter. Later, the slave maid was transferred to the second lady, anyway, the slave maid felt that the eldest lady was a very terrible person, and the young lady must not be deceived by her appearance, and she had to be on guard everywhere. ”
"I see. Su Cheng'an said, "Compared to Su Chengle, this eldest lady is much smarter." ”
In the afternoon, Su Cheng'an was reading a book, and Qing'er entered and said, "Miss, the county lord is here." ”
As if expected, Su Juan put down the book and said with a faint smile: "Please come in and make a good pot of tea." ”
"Yes!"
Then the county lord entered leisurely, with some entanglement on his face, Su Tang'an greeted with a smile: "The county lord is here, holding the Lingyue Pavilion and shining!
The maids served the refreshments, Su Tang'an picked up the teacup, gently scraped the tea foam with the lid of the cup, and asked with a smile: "The so-called nothing is not going to the Three Treasures Palace, I don't know what the county lord is talking about?"
The leisurely county lord put down the teacup, the entanglement on his face was even worse, and he said with a deep groan: "I am the same thing, although I don't like you, but I still admire your actions today." ”
"Just for this?" Su Tang'an took a sip of tea and said, "The entrance is slightly bitter, but the aftertaste is sweet, this West Lake Longjing is really a good tea, Tangerine is not a person who understands tea, but this tea is fragrant and pleasant, it is very good, the county lord should also taste it!"
"This is this year's new tea. The leisurely county lord took a sip and said, "There are not many offerings, so I must have rewarded some to Ziwei Palace, I didn't expect Gongyou Zhenren to really love you, and he actually gave you some of his favorite tea." ”
"It turns out that the county lord is the connoisseur. Su Tang'an smiled slightly, "Tangerine An's class has an axe!"
"One more thing. The leisurely county lord put down the teacup and bit his lower lip, "The meaning of the Mid-Autumn Festival last time was that I deliberately wanted to embarrass you, I'm sorry, but I didn't expect you to really have something to do!"
"It didn't hurt me. Su Tang'an said lightly, "The county lord doesn't have to worry about it." It's just that I don't understand, why does the county lord insist on becoming a disciple of the master?"
"Do you know that there is a rule, if the female disciples of the Ziwei Palace are willing to serve the gods and pray for the blessings of the Great Zhou, they can never marry. The leisurely county lord looked at Su Cheng'an and said, "It's just that everyone knows the rules of Gongyou Zhenren, and he has long said that he will only accept one disciple in his life." I made a lot of efforts to become a disciple for him, but all of this was ruined by you. ”
"The county lord wants to never marry?" Su Cheng'an asked suspiciously, "What is the reason?"
"Nobody wants their own hardships, you don't need to know that, anyway, it's already here, and there are some things I can't do anything about. The leisurely county lord sighed.
"Descendant disciple?" Su Ju'an rolled his eyes and said, "If the county lord is just for the rule that this descendant female disciple can never marry for life, I have a way!"
"What's the method?"
"How about you worship me as a teacher? I am a disciple of the master's lineage, and if you worship me as a teacher, you will naturally be regarded as a lineage. Su Juan smiled slightly, "What do you think?"
"This ......," the leisurely county lord's brows furrowed, "is this possible?"
"If you are willing, tomorrow I will show the master, announce to the same door, and accept you as a disciple of Ziwei Palace. Su Ju'an said, "But I have only just entered the gate of Ziwei Palace, and your master naturally does not have that qualification, if you mind, this matter will be forgotten." ”
"Wait!" Lord Leisurely bit his lip, "You can let me think about it." ”
"The rules of our Ziwei Palace are to respect the teacher, if you enter my door, you must respect me, and you must not disobey me. Su Tang'an held back the smile in his heart and said seriously, "Once you get started, there is no room for remorse, you have to think clearly." ”
The leisurely county lord stomped his feet, clapped his hands, and made up his mind: "Cheng, I worship you as a teacher!
"The county lord is really very decisive!" Su Ju'an said, "Then let's do it, I will go to Ziwei Palace tomorrow, and I will tell the master about this matter, if the master agrees, the matter will be settled." But I also said it just now, my qualifications are shallow, even if I accept apprentices, it is just a bow to you inside the Ziwei Palace, and tell the same door, it will not be too grand. ”
"I just want an identity, what kind of grandeur do I want!" the county lord of Youran frowned, "If this can really be done, you are grateful! I will go back now, waiting for your good news!"
The county lord left leisurely, and Su Juan ate a few bites of pastry and couldn't help laughing.
Qing'er couldn't help but be curious when she came in, and asked, "Miss didn't even quarrel with the county lord! What is so funny?"
"Qing'er!" Su Juan smiled, "Your young lady is also going to be someone else's master!"
