Chapter 32: Plan Ahead
The summer sun is blazing like fire, shining on the water beads the size of broad beans in the center of the lotus leaf, bright and dazzling, refracting the colorful light, the water droplets like colored jade roll restlessly on the green leaves with the gusts of breeze, wrapped in colorful colors and draw a silk thread like silver threads, and finally, roll out of the edge of the green leaves, fall straight into the clear lotus pond, stir up a circle of small ripples, and then completely disappear. When the summer breeze blows, the ruffles of the pond will quietly drop some colored beads, and the clear water surface is rippling in circles, like dialing the boredom in the heart over and over again, and dissipating the agitated mood a little bit.
There was a sound of footsteps coming from the quiet water pavilion, and the maid Qiuling appeared from among the weeping vines, followed by a neat and neat middle-aged man in a brown cloth shirt and a square scarf.
"Miss." Walking five steps away, the middle-aged man bowed slightly respectfully and saluted Su Yuqing.
"Steward Wang." Su Yuqing bowed her head slightly, and a hint of wisdom appeared in the depths of her sparkling phoenix eyes, "How many years have you been in Su Mansion?" ”
Wang Steward Wang Xiude pondered for a moment, he was born in the Su Mansion, he was born in the Su Mansion, at the age of twelve he learned the housekeeping affairs with his father, and at the age of eighteen he began to officially take over the management of the Su Mansion affairs, and now the eldest lady asked like this, there must be an important and secret thing for him to do, he naturally wanted to show his loyalty in time, so he said: "Back to the eldest lady, the slave has been a member of the Su family since he landed, and has been in the Su Mansion for forty-three years. ”
Su Yuqing nodded lightly after hearing this: "Hmm." ”
The water pavilion is quiet and cool, only knowing that it keeps shouting, adding a bit of elegance to the green water pavilion.
Wang Xiude was still bowing, his eyebrows drooped slightly, his pupils stared at the ground without moving, and he stood quietly in front of Su Yuqing.
Su Yuqing's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction. Silence itself is a kind of oppressive atmosphere, not to mention the sense of oppression of the superior to the subordinate, like a person with a bad heart, or someone with other intentions, will definitely not be as steady as Wang Xiude, his eyes are honest and unmoved. Su Yuqing secretly laughed, if she had used this way of controlling people before, she would not have ended up with the stigma of being taught by others. It's a pity that she only likes those useless vassal elegance on weekdays, and she trusts the people around her too much, one wrong step, step by step, even if the cane kills the winter snow? In addition to marrying on behalf of her, she is no longer able to turn around, and now she can only think of a child, so that her distant marriage will not be too miserable.
The white fingers of the delicate paste gently helped the fluttering butterfly jade golden hairpin on the hairpin of the hanging mustache, the sunlight leaked into the water pavilion from the green vines, and the stars fell on the fluttering butterfly wings, and the reflected star-shattered light spots were reflected in the phoenix eyes like water and mist, and the end of the ambilight was colorful, like a luxurious black jade, flowing with a round and wise luster.
"Steward Wang, there is a decree from the Holy Father, I am about to marry to Khotan, and my father must have told you about it." The clear timbre of the gold and jade collision came into Wang Xiude's ears, making his body stiff, presumably the eldest lady calculated the time correctly, knowing that he had just come out of the study, about this matter, the old man told him that he must not let the eldest lady know, he would think of other ways, but he didn't want to, the eldest lady was so well-informed, she had already learned.
"Miss." Wang Xiude groaned, his tone solemn and slow, "The master said that he still has a way, please don't worry." ”
The cherry lips that were as smooth as beautiful jade slightly outlined a faint arc, Su Yuqing was a little stunned, and said with a smile: "Is there a way?" Now that the holy decree has been issued, what else can he do? ”
Wang Xiude was silent, as soon as he stepped into the mansion today, Su Yuwen angrily called him into the study. In his impression, the old man has always been as elegant and steady as Xiuzhu, how could he be like this today, thick eyebrows are wrinkled, eyes are red, sweating profusely and he can't wipe it, when he talks to him, he is almost incoherent, and the things arranged are also disorderly, as if he has aged more than ten years all of a sudden. However, he has been a steward in the high gate for thirty years, how can he not know that with a holy decree, everything is decided, even if it is a master who is above ten thousand people under one person, he cannot change it.
"Ugh." Su Yuqing sighed softly, and changed her words, "Steward Wang, how is my Su Mansion treating you?" ”
Wang Xiude was shocked, immediately took off his robe and knelt down, and replied respectfully and seriously: "Su Fu treats the slave as kind as a mountain, and the master gave the surname Wang when the slave was ten years old. Su Fu's kindness to the minions, the minions can't be repaid, and they will never dare to forget! ”
"Hmm." The watery phoenix eyes gradually became clouded with a layer of fog, Su Yuqing smiled lightly, and lightly opened her lips, "So, if you want Steward Wang to give up your eldest son, are you willing?" ”
