Chapter 4 Miss Lin'er
readx;
When Su Qi rushed to the front yard, hundreds of members of the Su family were already standing neatly in the front yard waiting for the old lady. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 The team to greet the old lady is divided into two columns, sandwiched on both sides of the road to greet them, the innermost row is the children, wives, concubines and other family members of the main family, the second row is the side children and family members, the third and fourth rows are servants, maids and even subordinate farmers, hundreds of people from the entire Su family, all here.
Old lady Su's four sons, Su Boyu, Su Zhongwen, Su Shuchang, and Su Jiye, stood in the middle of the road, and Su Zhongwen stood slightly ahead of the other three. Seeing that Su was playing, Su Zhongwen nodded slightly and pointed to the empty seat in the front row on the left-hand side. Su Qi hurriedly stood in the vacant seat and stood beside his mother.
On the opposite side was Su Qingyun, who was more than two years older than him, with neat black arrow sleeves, a long sword at his waist, sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, and very heroic. Seeing that Su was up, Su Qingyun didn't nod his head, but he didn't see it, and he snorted disdainfully. During the Warring States Period, the court officials respected the left, and it can be seen from the position arrangement that the status of Su Qi, the eldest son, was higher than him, which made him very displeased.
Su Qi was not angry, and stood with his hands down peacefully, waiting for Su Muzhi's carriage and horse.
Not long after, the sound of horses neighing came from the official road outside, and the horses in the Su family's stable trembled in panic, and they knelt down together tremblingly. Su Qi looked up and saw the car of Su Muzhi's old lady on the official road.
Every time he saw this car, Su Qi couldn't help but sigh with emotion, and praised the wisdom of the ancient working people.
Other people's carriages have two horse-drawn carriages and four-horse-drawn carriages, and there are only six horse-drawn carriages at most, and that is Zhou Tianzi's specifications, the so-called "Son of Heaven driving six". Now that the Zhou family has been destroyed, and the three kingdoms have claimed to be kings, they don't care about those red tapes anymore, but even so, the rich and noble family is just an eight-horse carriage, which is already quite wasteful, and the car of Old Lady Su is sixteen horses!
Let's not discuss whether sixteen horses will be difficult to control, and we will not discuss whether sixteen horses are necessary, anyway, just this number, just this extravagant and wasteful energy, it shows that Old Man Su is not an ordinary person. At least in the Yan Kingdom, Old Lady Su is probably the only one who can run around in this kind of carriage.
Sixteen horses were divided into four rows, and the coachman was a Hun warrior who was unparalleled in his driving skills. The carriage was wide and large, and according to Su Qi's memories in the other world, it could probably catch up with a small one-bedroom apartment. Horses are also exquisite, these sixteen horses, all of them are the spirit beasts of the Huns, dragon horses, there are faint silver scales at the four hooves, ordinary galloping horses see it, they have to surrender and bow down. Such a behemoth hits the street, and basically all drivers have to avoid it.
This carriage was not built by Mrs. Su herself, but was given by the Huns. At the end of the Spring and Autumn Period, the Xiongnu grew stronger and began to attack the north of Yan State in the south, and the border people were overwhelmed. Old lady Su invited Yan Jun to go to the Xiongnu alone, and defeated ten Xiongnu warriors in a row with unfathomable cultivation, including even King Zuoxian, who was known for his bravery. Xiongnu Shan Yu had to sign an armistice alliance with Old Man Su, promised to exchange markets, and personally ordered to build such a magic car to send Old Lady Su back to Yan.
Yan Jun was overjoyed when he saw the covenant, so he gave the car to Mrs. Su, and issued a decree to be named Wen Xinjun, which actually sealed a large piece of land in Jinyang County, Yanzhou. In terms of merit, the general Murong Yue won five victories over the Jin Kingdom, which is slightly higher than the old lady Su, but the Su family is flourishing, and it is an old family in the Yan country, and the old lady Su is an important minister of the two dynasties, and he has the great achievement of "fixing the northern frontier alone", and his reputation is much higher than that of Murong Yue. Old lady Su was able to take this carriage back to Fengyi, which was also a kind of acquiescence from Yan Jun.
When the carriage approached, the Hun driver on the carriage pulled the reins, and the sixteen spirit beast dragon horses stopped in unison with a low neigh, as neat as well-trained soldiers. The four brothers of Su Zhongwen bowed to the ground in courtesy: "Welcome father!"
The children, ladies and servants on both sides of the road also saluted and said in unison, "Welcome to the old lady—"
The curtain of the carriage door was lifted, and an old man with white hair stepped out. He was dressed in an official robe, he looked about seventy years old, his face was wrinkled, but he did not have the slightest old age, and his every move revealed a majesty, it was Su Qi's grandfather, Su Muzhi's old man.
Old lady Su flicked her sleeves: "Get up, don't be formal." Then the crowd got up.
At this moment, the curtain of the door was lifted, and a young girl came down from the carriage, and all the children present were stunned. The girl looked to be no more than fifteen or sixteen years old, with long black hair tied up high, and no fat powder on her face, but she was still very beautiful. Her black clothes are neat and neat, like men's clothing, but there are pale gold patterns on the cuffs and placket, which is clearly women's clothing. As soon as this girl with a rather neutral beauty appeared, she hooked the souls of all the children present, especially Su Yu, whose eyes were straight.
"This is the Lin'er girl of the Mo family, I was entrusted by her teacher to study with me for a few days. Old man Su Muzhi introduced. Mo Lin'er bowed like a man: "I've seen the head of the Su family, and I've seen a few uncles." ”
"Miss Lin'er is polite. Father, Miss Lin'er, please come in and speak. The four Su Zhongwen brothers led Old Lady Su and Mo Lin'er inside.
A group of servants had already gone to pick up the car, leading the Huns to drive the chariot to the backyard, while the rest of the people dispersed separately and continued to be busy with the reception banquet of Old Lady Su tonight. All the children were distracted, and they dispersed in twos and threes, and kept whispering about this mysterious Lin'er girl. Seeing that there was nothing to do, Su Qi took his mother's hand and chatted a few words, and then went back to the house again.
After lunch, I took a short break and started reading again. In the evening, there was a reception banquet for Mrs. Su, which naturally took up a lot of evening reading time, so Su Qi seized the time and wanted to make up for the evening time.
Unexpectedly, just after Shen Shi, the maid came over again and said to Su Qi: "Young Master Su Qi, the master of the family is in the study at this time, let you go." ”
Su Qi didn't know what his father was going to see him at this time, so he hurriedly put away the books, adjusted his appearance a little, and walked to his father's study.
Su Zhongwen's study was very large, only slightly smaller than the living room. The study is surrounded by tall wooden shelves, piled with bamboo slips, from which Su Qi takes the books he reads on weekdays. In the middle of the study is a long case, and Su Zhongwen is kneeling behind the long case and reading. Seeing that Su was up, Su Zhongwen pointed to another long case on the right side, and Su Qi sat down behind the other long case.
As soon as Su Zhongwen waved his sleeves, the door of the study was pushed by a gust of wind and closed silently. Su Zhongwen controlled the vitality of heaven and earth here, shrouding the entire study tightly, and no one in the entire Su family could hear the conversation between father and son except for Old Man Su.
"Qi'er, what books have you been reading lately?" asked Su Zhongwen lightly while reading the book.
