Text Chapter 133: Idle Clouds and Wild Cranes
"The prince of Rongguo?"
The old man's eyes lit up after hearing this, and although his expression was still serious, his expression was much softer than just now.
He naturally knew the origin of his wife, so he also knew that the prince of Rongguo was the younger brother of his wife, and he was still fighting against the Huns at the border, if it was really his letter, then the lord and his wife would be very happy.
"Yes, it's his letter, but because it's important, there's something else to convey. That's why I'm going to meet the lord and lady in person. ”
Su Muwan saw his reaction, and said very calmly, even if the old man looked at her again, he couldn't see anything from her face.
"Okay, you just wait, I'll go and talk to our master first."
After the old man finished speaking, he closed the door again with a "bang", and Mo Yu, who was looking inside along the gap between the doors, was stunned.
This wait is a quarter of an hour, and several people are a little impatient to wait, and even Su Muwan thinks that this Su Mubo doesn't believe in herself, and she is a little suspicious.
At this time, the door was pushed open with a "bang", and the old man seemed to be a different person, with a smile on his face, and respectfully welcomed several people into the house.
"A few guests, come in quickly, just now I suddenly remembered that there was a pot of soup on the fire, so I went to the kitchen first, and I am really embarrassed to make you wait for so long."
Mo Yu listened, grinned, and couldn't help but ask.
"Uncle, why do you have to take care of the kitchen in addition to guarding the door, don't you have anyone else in the house?"
How to say it, this Taishou is also a fourth-grade official, and the family will not be so miserable even if they rely on Yulu, not to mention that this Su Mubo is married to the daughter of the Rongguo family, and the dowry alone is amazing.
But how do you look at it, how do you think that Su Mubo's life is a bit "miserable".
Not only Mo Yu thought so, but even Su Muwan had doubts in her heart at the moment.
"Oh, the guests don't know, our lord and lady are the most impatient with the crowds of people in the house, so we only have a few people here."
After the old man finished speaking, he also laughed, and he didn't seem to think that there was anything strange about this, but with some pride.
Su Muwan saw his reaction in her heart, and she was even more curious about Su Mubo, who she had never met.
This house doesn't look big, but it is a big world inside, all the way from the main entrance, there is no winding verandah on both sides, just some strange stones that seem to be piled up at random, quite interesting.
There was even a gazebo completely covered with vines, with a stone table and several stone benches.
At this time, although it is late autumn and the vines have withered and yellow, it is not difficult to imagine how comfortable and natural it is to sit here in the summer.
When she walked into the hall, Su Muwan noticed the man sitting in the middle at a glance, if there was no accident, he should be Su Mubo.
How to describe Su Mubo, Su Muwan had seen Du Hua before, although he seemed to be a bit bookish, but careful people in his actions could still see the impetuousness and ambition in his heart.
But Su Mubo is completely different, he has a complete literati demeanor, and he has not been eroded by this officialdom at all, and even looks at the free and easy of some idle fish and wild cranes.
Seeing Su Muwan walk in, he took the opportunity to put down the teacup in his hand and slowly got up from the stool.
After Su Muwan saw it, she took the initiative to say hello, she clenched her fists and gave him a false salute.
Seeing this, he took the initiative to ask.
"I heard from someone that there are letters from my brother, and I still have something to bring to us, I don't know if it's true?"
When he finished asking, he glanced at the woman beside him, and smiled at her, as if to soothe her.
Su Muwan only noticed the woman beside him at this time.
This must be Su Mubo's wife, Rong Lian's second sister, she is dressed very elegantly at this time, the green satin is soft but has a faint luster, and there is no jewels on her body, just a silver hairpin at random, and a green jade bracelet on her hand.
But even if she is dressed up so casually, it does not detract from her nobility in the slightest, and she still looks generous and elegant.
Su Muwan nodded secretly, after all, this was once a noble girl in the capital, and now although she has married another woman, she still hasn't lost the atmosphere of this concubine.
"It's true, it's this!"
After Su Muwan finished speaking, she stepped forward and handed over the letter written by Rong Lian in her hand.
Su Mubo hurriedly opened it, and his wife also leaned over when she saw this, and when she saw the handwriting on it, she couldn't help but open her mouth.
"Husband, that's right, this is Lian'er's handwriting, I won't admit it, every time he writes to us from the temple since he was a child, he uses this handwriting, and outsiders won't know it!"
Su Mubo nodded, stretched out his hand and gently patted her shoulder, holding her slightly.
"Don't worry, I'll just say that my brother-in-law must be a lucky star, and nothing will happen, and besides, the newspaper also said that he and Lord Yu have won several times in a row, and it's all you, worrying there."
After speaking, he picked up the letter in his hand and read it, and after reading it, he frowned a little, withdrew his arm, and hurriedly saluted and shouted.
"I don't know if this is Princess Yu, if there is any neglect just now, I hope to forgive more."
"What, this is Princess Yu?"
Rong Lian's second sister, that is, Mrs. Su, asked suspiciously. When Su Muwan had dealings outside, she was already married, so the two had never met in the capital.
Mrs. Su also heard about her younger brother Rong Lian, it is said that it was because he fell in love with Su Muwan at first sight, so when he returned home, he began to beg his father and mother to propose marriage for him.
To put it mildly, after the second elder agreed, the news he got was indeed that King Yu personally asked the emperor for his will, and married Su Muwan to him and became the princess of Yu.
My stupid brother was still very depressed for a while, but I didn't expect to see her in person today.
Mrs. Su began to look at Su Muwan without a trace, she was wearing men's clothes today, but she didn't dress herself in disguise, nor did she wear any buns, but tied her hair high.
It looks heroic, and the eyes of people don't dodge at all, it's very calm, just standing there, it's a little difficult to open their eyes.
She turned out to be such a woman, and it was understandable that her little brother fell in love at first sight.
When Su Mubo heard her ask, he nodded and spoke.
"Exactly, Brother Lian asked me to do the princess a big favor in the letter, and said that only I can do this matter alone, so please don't shirk it easily."
Speaking of this, he moved his gaze to Su Muwan with some curiosity.
"But I don't know what the princess wants me to help with?"
Su Muwan didn't answer directly, but just asked a question.
"I don't know if Lord Su pays attention to the situation in Linzhou Qingcheng on weekdays?"
Su Mubo shook his head, just governing this Linzhou already made him feel a little hard, where did he get the energy to pay attention to other people's affairs.
In addition, he doesn't like to socialize, so he doesn't know anything about other colleagues, and only cares about the size of his continent.
"I came all the way from Yumen Pass this time, passing through Qingcheng, does Lord Su know what I saw?"
"The prefects of various counties in Qingcheng colluded with the thieves on the mountain to rob the money of passing merchants at will, and the common people could not bear to be suppressed, so they sued the government, but they were bitten back."
"There is also the Taishou of Qingcheng, who knows the law and violates the law, and commits heinous crimes, this snake and rat nest is not only planned by him, but even those rich businessmen He refuses to let go, and he has to collect protection fees several times a year."
"How can there be such a thing? This Du Hua is too bold! If these crimes were once reported, even if he had a hundred lives, he would not be able to lose his head. ”
When Su Mubo heard this, he was shocked, what Su Muwan said had exceeded his imagination, and he didn't believe how there could be such a bold person.
Su Muwan sneered:
"Huh, bold? It's not because he has a big prince behind him! All he did was to help the eldest prince collect money. ”
Su Mubo's pupils suddenly became a little bigger, but then they returned to normal, and he muttered in his mouth.
"The eldest prince, it turned out to be him, but this thing is not strange, after all, he is not a good person."
Su Muwan was surprised by his straightforwardness and boldness, how could ordinary people have the courage to say that a prince is "not a good person".
After all, no matter what you say, it's also a member of the royal family!
It seems that what Shangguan Yu said in his heart is that he is very similar to Rong Guogong, and he is not wrong, because Rong Lian's father Rong Guogong is such a straightforward person.
It is said that when the emperor first sat on the throne, he made a wrong will, and the other officials knew it, but no one dared to come forward to identify it, only he stood up without hesitation and pointed out the emperor's mistake.
As a result, the emperor not only did not punish him, but also said that he was pure-minded and a loyal minister.
Now, isn't this Su Mubo's straightforward heart exactly the same as Rong Guogong! No wonder they fell in love with each other!
However, since he can say so, he must have seen the inconsistency between Shangguan Qian's appearance and appearance, but he is also a discerning person.
"Xiaguan dares to guess, does the princess want to ask me to come forward and expose his crimes?"
Su Mubo looked at Su Muwan and asked, his face had already regained his composure.
Su Muwan nodded and looked at his eyes, very sincere.
"Lord Su is smart, I guessed not wrong at all, I came here at this time, it was on the order of my lord, I want to ask Lord Su to help me with this!"
