Chapter 22: Father's Instructions
Su Hongguang was waiting in the study for Su Tang'an to come back.
He has always been busy with official business, leaving early and returning late, and there is not much time for everyone in the Hou Mansion to see him in the Hou Mansion.
He stood in front of the window, looking at a willow tree in the courtyard with his back to Su Chengan, unable to see his face, and did not know his expression at this moment.
Su Tang'an lowered her eyes slightly, and greeted him: "My daughter has seen her father!"
Su Hongguang was silent for a while before he spoke: "There is no need to be polite between our father and daughter!"
Still looking at the willow tree outside, he asked, "Do you remember when you were nine years old?"
Su Tang'an's eyes rolled slightly, and asked, "But when my daughter was nine years old, she flew a kite and climbed the willow tree in the yard, fell from the tree and broke her leg?"
Su Hongguang turned his head, looked at Su Tang'an lovingly, smiled slightly, and sighed: "At that time, you couldn't stop crying, and you had to rest if your father hugged you!"
"My daughter remembers!" Although this memory does not belong to him, but when he recalls it in his mind at the moment, it is so real, so warm, and there is a faint sourness in his chest, "At that time, my father was busy with official business, and he had to coax his daughter to buy the hibiscus cake that his daughter loved to eat." ”
Su Hongguang looked at Su Cheng'an's face, some tears appeared in his eyes, and he sat down and said: "You have a bad brain since you were a child, I am afraid that I will live up to your mother's entrustment and not be able to take good care of you! There are some things in this world that may not be able to be explained, but what happens is what happens, whether you are An An in the past or the current Heavenly Maiden, you are my daughter of Su Hongguang, and this will never change!"
Su Tang'an slowly walked to Su Hongguang's side and knelt down, buried his head in his lap, and smiled slightly: "Yes, An An will always be my father's daughter!"
Su Hongguang gently straightened the hair on her face and sighed: "You are becoming more and more similar to your mother, and I really don't know if the current situation is a blessing or a curse for you." However, there are some things that you should do, and others can't replace them!"
"Is there anything else my father has to order?" asked Su Tang'an.
Su Hongguang said, "Now your identity is different, as a celestial maiden, you will inevitably attract attention, and you must be very careful in your actions in the future, and you must not give people a handle! Also, the dispute between the two princes has not yet come to an end, you may enter their sight, no matter which prince contacts you, you must stay away, and you must not stand in line!"
Su Tang'an rolled his eyes and asked: "This daughter doesn't understand very well, the Liu family is the maiden family of the lady, and the Liu family is Xuanyuan's henchman, and the Marquis of Xuanyuan is the uncle-in-law of the prince, so if this turn goes on, our family should be in the prince's camp!"
"Is it so simple to do the affairs of the court? Although my father has an inextricable relationship with the prince, but Your Majesty is still prosperous in the Spring and Autumn Period, and I am Your Majesty's courtier!" Su Hongguang said, "Once the prince is chosen for his father, he has to be attached to Xuanyuan Hou, then this Qihou Mansion has to be subject to Xuanyuan Hou and do things according to his instructions, but Xuanyuan Hou is not a good person, nor is he a good minister loyal to Sheji, I don't want to be with him, so I must be cautious in this matter!"
"At present, the crown prince has a greater chance of winning, and he is likely to become the new monarch in the future, and now he is standing in line, so that the Marquis of Qi's mansion is rich and worry-free!" Su Ju'an said, "Does my father really want to take risks?"
"Wealth is naturally good, but there are still four words of loyalty, righteousness and conscience between heaven and earth, I, Su Hongguang, am not a good minister who is a beautiful person who saves the world, but I will never do anything that is sorry for my ancestors and ancestors!" Su Hongguang patted Su Cheng'an on the shoulder, "An'an, I used to reason with you, but I was afraid that you wouldn't understand, so I have educated you less, there is only one sentence for my father today, a gentleman has something to do and something not to do, what to do, what not to do, you must have a number in your heart, and you must not be deceived by some illusions!"
He approached Su Cheng'an, and whispered in a somewhat cold tone: "The prince, be careful, no matter when, stay away!"
"My daughter remembered!"
Su Hongguang paused, and then asked, "Then Qi Junyu ......?"
"Father doesn't need to mention this person again, this person is wolf-hearted and extremely obscene, and his daughter will not marry him!" Su Tang'an said, "But this matter is between me and him, my daughter has to deal with it herself, and my father doesn't have to take action!"
Su Hongguang took a deep look at Su Cheng'an, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't care about this matter!" It's just that Chengle is a brother and sister to you, she was deceived by this person, you can teach her a lesson, don't hurt her!"
Su Tang'an thought for a while and said: "If she sincerely repents and no longer targets me everywhere, I promise my father that I will not take revenge on her! But she is now infatuated with Qi Junyu's wife, and her father should marry her as soon as possible, so that she will break her thoughts, and besides, my father must have heard that the Liu family also seems to want to marry the Qihou Mansion, if the third sister marries in the past, then the Qihou Mansion and the Liu family will be involved!"
"I have a sense of proportion in this matter!" Su Hongguang thought for a while and said, "I will discuss it with her mother and find her a good family!
"It's the father, the daughter is leaving!"
The weather in June is very hot, and I am already upset and irritable, and I can't see anything at the moment.
Su Chengle scolded and cried two maids in a row, but he still felt angry, and walked around the house irritably.
"That's enough!" Su Liu took a nap, opened his eyes and said, "You are a big lady, you still have to have the cultivation you should have, if you marry out in the future, you will be the housewife, this should not be the posture that a housemother should have, at this time, Aunt Qiu of the teaching workshop should be coming, I asked for many people to ask Aunt Qiu to personally guide your dance, you have to be serious, July 7, the Qiqiao Festival, is your chance to show your beauty!"
"Mother!" Su Chengle squatted beside his mother, "You are still in the mood to think about this now, I told you a long time ago that Su Cheng'an is not simple, she has always been pretending to be stupid, you have always believed me, now it's okay, she is showing her feet, but now, but she is on Ziwei Palace, or what kind of heavenly girl! I really don't know why Gongyou took her as an apprentice, it can be seen that her city is deep, if you had listened to me earlier and removed her, it would not be today!"
Su Liu smiled faintly and said, "What are you afraid of? No matter how lofty the status of Ziwei Palace is, it is a void, without any real power, even if it is respected, it is just a superficial effort, can't you even see through this? Your grandfather, your uncle all have real power, she can't compare to you!"
She paused and said: "Isn't it good for you that she is a heavenly maiden? For me, the thing I care about most now is your sister's marriage, if she is a heavenly maiden, it will only make you marry better, I have inquired about it, on the day of the seventh begging festival in July, the palace of the king of Qi held a banquet, not only many young talents in the capital returned, but even the Son of Heaven will come, if you can attract the attention of the prince at that time, it is also possible to enter the East Palace, after all, everyone is eyeing the crown princess now, you are not without a chance, right? ”
Su Liu smiled coldly and said, "As for your sister, after all, you can only marry the Qi family, right?" If you can marry well, you will also trample her under your feet in the future!"
"No, I'm not uncommon to be the crown princess, I just want to marry Brother Junyu, now that Su Cheng'an is the heavenly daughter, then Brother Junyu has no excuse to dissolve the marriage contract, what should we do?" Su Chengle said anxiously.
"My silly daughter!" Su Liu said with a smile, "If you don't want to be compared to Su Tang'an in the second half of your life, you have to marry better, and when you are older, you will understand that love is just a passing cloud, and only status and wealth are the guarantee for the rest of your life!
"Is it interesting for you to live like this?" Su Chengle bit his lip and said unhappily.
"You will be grateful to me in the future!" Su Liu smiled faintly, "Now, put away your face, go and learn to dance, as for Su Cheng'an's matter, don't interfere anymore, if you don't think it's enough trouble to fill in yourself, you are not her opponent, it's better to quietly talk to her well water and not violate the river water, as for this, I will talk to her!"
"Talk to her, what are you talking about? Last time, I asked people to trick her into going to Yangliuyuan, and I asked people to kill her, there is no possibility of peaceful coexistence between us for a long time, only you can live and die!" Su Chengle said calmly and indifferently, "Mother, what fantasies do you have, there have long been rumors that her mother's death is related to you, will she not hear it?" Before her wings are not hard enough, it is the most correct thing for us to get rid of her, don't care about my father's opinion, when she really does it to us, it will be too late!"
Su Liu's eyes narrowed slightly, pressed his temples and said, "I'll think about this matter again! You go back first, what should you do!"
"Yes!"
Su Liu remembered Su Cheng'an's mother, who became the Hou Ye's favorite person because she had a somewhat similar appearance to the person in the palace, and she had a laughter like a silver bell, and the laughter often floated in the Hou Mansion, which was really uncomfortable.
She was pregnant with a child, and for the first time in her life, there was a crisis, if she gave birth to a boy, I was afraid that the Hou Ye would ignore it and spoil the concubine and kill his wife, does this Hou Mansion still have its own place?
She used some means, but she didn't expect that she still gave birth to the child, fortunately it was a girl, but even if she was a stupid child, the Hou Ye still took her like a treasure, if it wasn't stupid, the old lady might not keep her!
She has seen Su Cheng'an grow up since she was a child, she really just pretended to be stupid? When she was a child, she was a fool, how could a three- or two-year-old child have the scheming?
