Chapter 53: Relatives
Su Wanning returned to the Zhongbohou Mansion again and woke up from her Fenghe Garden.
She propped up her elbows in the brocade quilt, and suddenly slipped a cool jade pendant from inside her clothes.
The one given by Fang Wenyuan followed him back to his residence.
She recalled that from the fight in Feng's mansion, Feng Min went crazy, Fang Wenyuan was slandered, and after she pretended to be unconscious, she was taken away by someone taking advantage of the chaos.
Su Wanning didn't resist at that time, because the other party was sent by the Shadow Pavilion.
She didn't expect Fang Fu's task to end without the slightest result.
Later, Ling Xue may be able to release his suspicions with Fang Wenyuan, and the two of them will have a good result.
As for Feng Zhang, with a human face and a beast's heart, he played with the woman in the palm of his hand. This kind of person, she sees it once and cleans it up once.
Weighing the Luan Ming jade pendant in her palm, Su Wanning felt that she should find an opportunity to return it to Ling Xue.
After all, it was what she deserved.
And whose child it is, and whether Fang Wenyuan will mind or not, Su Wanning has no way of knowing.
Right now, what she is about to face is the cold-blooded grandmother, the eldest princess of Qingyun.
Aunt Froststain will send her to the front of the collapse early, and after staring at her to eat, she will explain her intentions: "Miss." The eldest princess, please come over. ”
"Well, thank you Auntie. Is there something important going on in the house recently, is it related to me? Su Wanning put a layer of red honey on her pale lips, adding a hint of color, making the whole person look a lot more colorful.
Frost Dye didn't look directly at Su Wanning: "Lu Gongzi intended to marry the eldest princess, but the princess refused. ”
Su Wanning had long expected this scene: "Okay, I know." I'll go to my mother's side. Auntie, go back. ”
When it came to this, Frost had to retreat.
Su Wanning did it on purpose, she was going to find her mother, but when to go was her choice.
She has always been worried about Daddy's situation, and her plan for now is to find Mei Zhexu and ask him how he is doing.
Su Wanning relied on the memory of her previous life, stood in front of her desk, and copied out the route of Zhong Bohou's pass.
Most of these are the topography and landforms that the previous Zhongbohou would send with the letter in his daily family letters, talk about the beautiful scenery outside the Guan, and analyze the reasons for the success or failure of the recent war in a few words.
She made up her mind to let Daddy avoid all the open guns and arrows, so as not to fall into the root of the disease, and when the traitor was framed, she was deprived of her military power and was powerless to parry.
When the drawings were done, Su Wanning rolled up eight pieces of parchment and put them in the dark pavilion under the bed.
Then she lifted her legs and went to her mother's residence.
"Come back, this son is too thin and weak." The eldest princess of Qingyun held a thick pile of rice paper in her hand, on which the outline of the person was outlined with a brush.
The rosewood table in the room was piled with red paper, on which were written the eight characters of the birthday.
Su Wanning took a full view of the situation in the room, and it turned out that someone came to discuss her relatives.
"Mother, Wanning greets you."
Princess Qingyun's eyes flashed: "This mission is well done, provoke the infighting between the Fang and Feng families, at least for a while, there will be no chaos in the court, and the seal has been recovered." ”
"Mother praise, being able to serve my Yan Kingdom and share worries for the saint is also what Wanning should do." Su Wanning followed her words and didn't contradict her, she needed to hide her clumsiness before her strength was suppressed.
"I heard that the son of the Fang family is still fascinated by you? The night tour celebrates the palace banquet, tearing apart the Feng family sisters, attracting a group of princes in the capital to speak for a girl in the room. You really give the Su family face. The eldest princess of Qingyun blew the floating tea in the cup, and seemed to be very immersed in the tea tasting.
Su Wanning blinked: "Mother, that Ling Xue already admires Fang Wenyuan, if I pretend to be her, I will have to be full of him." As for Fang Wenyuan's reaction, it is not under his daughter's jurisdiction. ”
The eldest princess of Qingyun hooked her red lips, she was bright and bright, and she scratched the porcelain cover with her fingernails dyed with impatiens: "I really don't consider Wen Yuan below, his birthday is also among them." ”
"It's up to my mother to decide. I heard that the eldest son of the Lu family also handed over the post? But my mother refused, can I ask why? Su Wan condensed her voice, how could Lu Jiarong not be able to enter her eyes, or did the two families have some cause and effect, which made her mother dislike him.
"I have seen Lu Jiarong, and I personally invited him into the house to teach calligraphy to the children in Xuesitang. I have nothing to say about his talents. But the Lu clan behind him has thought too much about it, and it is not a gateway that can match the Zhongbohou Mansion. Especially Lu Jiarong's background, I heard that it is just a child who is under the knees of the Lu family's mother, and the child who was taken from the good concubine is also not of high status. The eldest princess of Qingyun said, and turned over a small portrait of paper.
"Then does Grandma have a satisfactory candidate?" Su Wanning still wants to be prepared, if she can know the other party's mansion, she can also operate it in private.
"This is not in a hurry, and now the young talents in Yandu are rare to have both. The talented one is quite good, and he is impatient. has a good temperament, a good family, and a poor talent. So you need to take a second look, maybe such a candidate with all three is outside the capital. The eldest princess of Qingyun spoke in a flurry tone, as if she had tired her wrists, and threw the small statue on the table at will.
Su Wanning could see clearly, the carelessness in the eyes of the eldest princess of Qingyun, and the tea stains remaining on the table smeared the rice paper, all of which showed that the mother did not care.
What the hell is Grandma waiting for?
Can't you drag it out, and then wait until Qin Ruoxuan's reappearance?
In the last life, after she and the queen, she failed to make a normal appearance, and she also made a big mistake, and her reputation in the capital was very bad.
And what is claimed to the outside world is that the eldest daughter of the Zhongbohou Mansion is in the house.
It wasn't until three years after she had been married that Qin Ruoxuan came to the door to propose.
In this life, Qin Ruoxuan did not follow the path of her previous life under her successive blows.
She felt that Qin Ruoxuan's setbacks would at least allow him to climb to the top again five years later than in his previous life.
At that time, she will inevitably be married, and she will not have any more intersections with Qin Ruoxuan.
What Su Wanning has to do is to strike first, if she can persuade her mother to agree to marry Lu Jiarong, it is the best policy.
If she can join forces with the powerful Shoufu in the future, she will be able to deal with Qin Ruoxuan with ease.
Moreover, the only man she doesn't dislike is Lu Jiarong.
"Hey, didn't you send it by mistake, why did you still mix in Mei Zhexu's eight characters?" The eldest princess of Qingyun suddenly laughed heartily.
Su Wanning pulled the corners of her mouth helplessly, how could she forget that she still had Cousin Mei, a living treasure.
"Princess, the prince was specially added by the Queen Mother. She told that Mei Shizi was dignified and not bad, so she could let the two of them give it a try. Frost Dye explained on the side, and at the same time quickly glanced at Su Wanning's reaction.
Su Wanning wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, this was not a ready-made target.
However, this matter will need to be met with my cousin for a while, and his consent will be obtained.
"Mother, if there is nothing else, Wanning will retire first." Su Wanning couldn't stay in the same room with her for more than a moment.
The eldest princess of Qingyun was noncommittal, waved her sleeves, turned her angle, and continued to look at the small statue of rice paper, flipping through it faster.
As soon as Su Wanning returned to Fengheyuan, she wrote a letter and asked a girl from the outer courtyard to send it to Mei Zhexu's mansion in Beijing.
In the remaining two hours, she withdrew from the maid four times, leaving Qingzhu alone.
"Qingzhu, I haven't seen you for a long time, you're okay."
Qingzhu's tears fell, and he knelt down to Su Wanning's lap: "Miss, you are back." The eldest princess has always restrained the slave maid in the courtyard, and she can't go out for half a step, and she can't see the young lady. Although there were people in the young lady's house to deliver food, but once I saw the residue after the meal, the bowl of porridge was actually red date and chestnut porridge, and the young lady's least favorite was chestnuts. Because after taking it, the lady will feel unwell. ”
"Qingzhu, okay, I won't be in front of you again, Fang Cai's words must rot in the stomach, and they can't be known by anyone other than me. Remember! Su Wanning looked at the smart and clever Qingzhu and pinched her cheek happily.
"Later, I will have important matters to discuss with the prince, Qingzhu, you know me best, Miss, I need you to pretend to be me, and prevaricate the people sent by my mother to inspect." Su Wanning invited Mei Zhexu and Shen Shi to meet at the Sanwei Teahouse in the city.
Qingzhu nodded worriedly: "Miss, you must be careful, the eldest princess has not been in a good temper recently, since a distant cousin came, the house has not been peaceful, you don't want to touch the anger of the eldest princess." ”
"It's okay, you go to bed and rest. If it is really exposed, just say that Miss I went to a private meeting with the prince. Then they will not delve into it. Also, what is the last name of your distant cousin you are talking about? I didn't know that Daddy still had relatives who were left behind and had deep feelings. Su Wanning had a problem with her intuition.
Qingzhu said 1510: "It's also strange to say, this distant relative looks like Zhou Zheng, with a mole in the corner of his eye, and they all call him the second child, it seems that he is also from a scholarly family, Xu is in the middle of the road, so he defected to the Zhongbohou Mansion." I heard that it is the distant cousin of Lord Hou. After entering the house, he went to the account room every three or five days to withdraw silver taels, spendthrift extravagantly, and loved to linger in the gambling house. That's why the eldest princess is in a bad mood. ”
Su Wanning thought thoughtfully, she had never heard that Daddy had a distant cousin, and the old lady's son was only Daddy, when would there be another relative who fought the autumn breeze?
Seeing that the sun was setting, the time was running out, and Su Wanning didn't have time to think about it, so she led Qingzhu to the dresser, and painted a pair of delicate makeup according to her appearance.
Zhu Bi picked a little bit, and as soon as the pearl powder and lipstick were on, Su Wanning immediately turned into another face.
Eighty percent is like green bamboo!
Su Wanning put away the dresser with satisfaction and joked with Qingzhu: "Qingzhu, can you see, Miss, I have a lot of skills, even if I am threatened, I can use a few pens to change the mold, get out of the predicament, and have a safe journey." ”
"Bah, don't talk nonsense, Miss must live a long life, be safe and healthy." Qingzhu was anxious to cry again.
Su Wanning said solemnly: "Qingzhu, then I'll go first, if nothing else, I'll come back before the hour, and the copper bell rings six times, which is when I come back." If I don't come back as scheduled due to an accident, remember to go to Mei Shizi and ask him for help. ”
