Chapter 59: Marriage Proposal
Zhang Dali, the eunuch of the Inner Service Province, personally led the team to the Mansion of the Criminal Department.
The big eunuch was in his fifties, wearing a purple robe, and he had quite a status in the minions. Out of the palace, you can walk sideways. But the strange thing is that today's Zhang Dali seems a little restrained.
"Congratulations to Master Su for his ascension." Zhang Dali took the initiative to step forward and said with a smile.
Su Bottle immediately hugged his fists and said: "In front of Gonggong Zhang, how dare you boast of your ascension." β
"Oh, Master Su, you can't say that, you're still very young, and you have a bright future."
"It's all the emperor's wrong love."
Zhang Dali reproached softly: "Alas, how could the emperor be wrong? β
"Oh, the lower official lost his word."
Su Bottle has seen Zhang Dali, in Qinxiang Xiaozhu. At that time, the great eunuch's style was quite large, and seeing such a well-behaved and easy-going Zhang Dali at this time, Su Bei was still a little uncomfortable.
Not only is Zhang Dali strange, but the lineup sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs today is also strange. Is it just to take in twenty-three little girls, and to send so many guards?
A hundred royal forest iron horsemen opened the way, and a hundred heavy infantry guarded an ordinary carriage. This battle is a bit incomprehensible.
The curtain of the carriage seemed to move just now, and it seemed that after Zhang Dali got out of the car, there were still people sitting in the car. I just don't know who is sitting.
Su Bei's eyes rolled slightly, and without asking a word, he began to do serious things. Su Bottle went to the mansion and summoned the twenty-three little girls out.
In other words, Su Bottle's face is kind, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes are easy to be remembered. The twenty-three little girls were rescued by Su Bottle, and they were arranged by Su Bottle to live in this mansion, eating and drinking. Some little girls with lively natures have shown special enthusiasm for Su Bottle. Running over with a smile and greeting Su Bottle. He also asked Su Bottle, when will they be able to send them home? Others asked, will I be able to see Brother Su in the future? Su Bottle said, we have fate, and we will definitely see each other in the future.
The Ministry of Internal Affairs has prepared three carts to transport the twenty-three little girls.
However, Zhang Dali did not let them get on the bus directly, but first selected eight people and stood in a row.
Then Zhang Dali trotted to the side of the ordinary carriage, listened to what someone said in the car, Zhang Dali trotted back again, and replaced the next group of girls to stand in a row.
There were three rows of people standing in front and back, and Su Wei thought that the people in the car were going to choose a girl, but then he took all the twenty-three little beauties away.
In fact, if you let Su Bottle choose, you will also feel that it is difficult to choose. Because these twenty-three little girls are so beautiful. Everyone has a different appearance, which can only be said to have their own merits, but it is difficult to distinguish between them.
When these things were done, it was getting late. And today, the urging ghost Xue Shilang did not arrange a task for Su Bottle, he said, Su Bottle is now the chief officer, and he can decide his daily work by himself. You can also go to Lord Shilang to transfer people and handle some big cases.
Seeing that Su Bottle was young, Xue Pang also said a few more words, which can also be seen as a support for Su Bottle. He said, if there is anything in the future, you have to talk to me, don't talk to the people on Feng Shilang's side. When they ask you something, don't say it. But if you know what they do, tell me. Su Bottle agreed.
Su Bottle went to the stable and brought out the royal horse, and sure enough, it was a red horse with a black hyena and a black tail. This breed of horse is also known as ι§ [liΓΊ], which is the same as "ιͺ". Su Bottle called it Da Lu. The horse stared, as if dissatisfied. Su Bottle changed its name to "Flame Red". The horse pursed his lips, as if satisfied.
The Liang Dynasty was a professional groom, and he had to be able to distinguish twenty-five types of horses, each of which had a separate word to describe. For example, Li: A pure black horse. ι© [tiΔ]: A reddish-black horse. 馡 [zhΓΉ]: A horse with a white left leg on the back. And so on, I won't go into details.
Su Bottle got a BMW and rode very well, so he gave the old mule to Mei Ran.
Let's just say that Mei Ran, this girl is a fool. Su Bottle was rewarded, but she didn't, but she wasn't unhappy. On the contrary, I was happy because of the high rise of Su bottle. Now that she had another mule, she patted the old mule with pleasure.
Su Bottle took out ten taels of silver from his pocket and gave it to Mei Ran, only saying that raising livestock costs money, so he beat the horse and left.
Ten taels is 10,000 wen, which is a lot. The monthly salary of plum dyeing is only three taels of silver, and sometimes it is not enough to pay silver, but to pay grain or cloth.
Su Bottle rode home, first sent the horse to the stable, and took some small money to work as a groom. The groom smiled and asked his uncle, where did such a tall horse come from? Su Bei said that it was all up to the Tang family and the emperor rewarded it. The groom sighed again and again, my uncle has a good fate.
Then Su Bottle returned to Qinxiang Xiaozhu and walked to the backyard by himself, but was found and stopped by Zhen Ping'er: "The county lord has been waiting for my uncle for a long time." β
Su Bottle followed the big girl in brocade clothes upstairs, the big girl was graceful, she walked on the stairs, right in front of Su Bottle, the wonderful arc dangled around, and Su Bottle was dizzy for a while. Zhen Ping'er opened the door curtain, Su Bottle thanked him and walked in.
Today, Tang Mei's style is surprisingly big, at home, she is also wearing a heavy robe, and the arrogance on her face is simply indescribable.
"Which one is this singing?" Su Bottle said a word and sat down.
"Who's singing with you?" Tang Mei was still arrogant, tilted her head slightly and said, "I'm already the county lord of the second grade." The family built the county lord's mansion for me, and I am about to move out. But before you move out, talk about you. β
"Me?"
"Yes. It's you. Tang Mei took a deep breath: "It stands to reason that we have already had a wedding." But I think you know that the wedding was too shabby to be worthy of my identity. Moreover, the emperor Chrysostom said that the marriage had been annulled. Now it's time to reconsider who you are. I ask you, like everyone else, to find a matchmaker to propose to me. Only with my kind permission, can I change your household registration and live in the county lord's mansion. β
Hearing this, Su Bottle wanted to say, "Can I not do this?" β
But Su Bottle had already thought about how much trouble he would cause once he said this.
It is estimated that Tang Mei will burst out and roar: "What did you say?!" Then his eyes widened and he glared angrily. Then, your father's title is gone, and your official son doesn't want to be an official, you go back to Chang'an for me, Yunyun.
Although the lord of Loulan has no real power, her status is too high. If she's angry, it's really easy for her to do these things. Offending her is equivalent to offending the entire Tang Clan. I returned to Chang'an, and Chang'an is the old nest of the Tang family, so can it be good?
At the beginning, because of Tang Mei's strong tone and arrogant look, Su Bei was unhappy. Later, Su Bottle thought about it calmly and felt that it didn't seem to be the case. Her arrogance today is faked.
Why do you say this, you can think about it from another perspective, what is Tang Mei doing now.
She was obviously holding on to Su Bottle. But she is such a proud person, how can she say it directly.
Now that she said it around the bush, for the sake of face, she naturally had to put on an unattainable arrogant posture, making Su Bei think that this was her gift, not that she was retaining.
Thinking of this, Su Bottle's heart was mixed. I don't know if it's cold or warm.
Before Su Bei could answer, Tang Mei couldn't wait any longer, and said in a loud voice: "I can tell you, not everyone is qualified to ask me for media." If it weren't for the royal family, nobles, and eunuchs, and not to mention seeing me, it would be the gate of the Guogong Mansion, and they wouldn't be able to enter! β
It's not a nice sound, but it's true.
Seeing that Su Beigen didn't speak yet, Tang Mei was annoyed: "Hey! Why don't you thank you for my gift to you? What are you thinking about? I can tell you, if you come to propose, I won't agree! β
Su Bei had a question mark in his head, and asked suspiciously: "Since I don't agree, why should I mention my relatives?" β
"I don't care! You have to propose! β
Then the lord of Loulan became angry and blasted the Su bottle out.
She was so angry that she stood at the window and muttered a few more curses.
She was angry, and Su Bottle was also unhappy, and said in her heart: This is not nonsense?
Returning to the snail house, after lying down for a while, Su Bottle had a headache.
At this time, Su Bottle was a little tired, and he was busy all day, and he was still fighting a group of masked people on the street. Now that group of people is still on trial in the Criminal Department. It stands to reason that such cases should be transferred to Jingzhao Prefecture or the county. But because these guys dared to attack the officials of the Criminal Department, the Criminal Department naturally had to take special "care" of them, and a set of torture was inevitable.
And the dinner was not eaten well, Su Bottle felt empty in his stomach, and then he heard a knock on the door, and saw that it was Feng Die's probe who came in with a smile.
The little beauty smiled and looked good, Su Bei's head immediately stopped hurting, sat up and asked, "Why did you come back?" β
"It's what the county lord meant, the county lord said that Dongdacang has a master, and there is no need for me and Zhu Tao to stare at it. The county lord asked the two of us to take turns taking care of my uncle. β
"Oh..."
This is good news, and Su Bottle is more comforting.
Feng Die came to ask her uncle for bed sheets and clothes, and she wanted to wash them. Su said that he had just washed it yesterday, so there was no need to wash it every day. While talking, Su Bei also took out three coins of silver from his pocket and rewarded the little beauty, and asked her to come into the house to talk.
But the maid was timid. She didn't dare to stay in her aunt's house for too long, as if someone had reminded her of something.
"Is Baoyu back? Invite him over, I have something to say. The fourth son, Tang Kuan, came uninvited and sat down in Qinxiang Xiaozhu.
"What is the fourth brother looking for him? He's dead. Tang Mei said angrily.
Tang Kuan was stunned for a moment, and said, "What's wrong?" Did he provoke you again? β
Tang Mei was speechless.
Tang Kuan smiled bitterly: "It's okay." He offended me and my fourth uncle, and what I asked him to do was done. You can let him go. β
"Alas! Fourth brother, let him go, I want to say this. β
Hearing this, Tang Kuan blinked and fell into doubt.
