Chapter 100: I've never been petty
When Mama Qin walked into the study lightly, Su Hengyu had just finished reading the account books and was carefully putting them together.
She raised her eyes and saw Mama Qin coming in, so she smiled and said, "Mama don't have to be so careful, I'm just taking stock of the accounts and not in the imperial examination, so I see that you are nervous." ”
Mama Qin also smiled: "Accounting also requires energy, if I rush in and disrupt Miss's thoughts, then it is not mine." ”
She placed a bowl of bird's nest on Su Hengyu's table, and handed over a letter to Su Hengyu by the way.
Su Hengyu took two sips of bird's nest: "Where did this letter come from, and what does it say?" ”
Su Hengyu contacted people outside, and basically did not leave the address for sending the letter to Zhuangzi. If it is a confidential letter, she will ask people to make a special mark on it, and the people on the Zhuangzi will not open it at will.
But ordinary letters, Su Hengyu is too lazy to read, and generally needs Mama Qin to help check and sort them out, and Mama Qin herself will help reply to the ordinary information.
If there is something important, she will give the letter to Su Hengyu.
Hearing Su Hengyu's question, Mama Qin's expression was a little strange: "This is a letter sent by Mrs. Hou, which says that His Majesty's holy birthday is coming, and the banquet in the palace also has a share of the Hou Mansion, and the post said that they should bring all their children to the banquet." ”
Hearing the last few words, Su Hengyu understood a little.
It is estimated that Emperor Wei wanted her to enter the palace to participate in this feast, but in order not to expose her identity, he used some roundabout methods to bring her into the palace through the Wang family.
Su Hengyu didn't have any idea about the birthday banquet, after all, she had seen a lot of various banquets in the past, but it was just a matter of eating and drinking.
She was busy now, and although the saltworks and workshops to the south were far away, she and the stewards often exchanged letters, and she still needed to control all kinds of important matters.
The "Hua Xiangrong" in Beijing is about to expand, and after the expansion, Su Hengyu plans to add some new things to it, and he will make a plan to show Wei Zining.
Some of the utensils made in the glaze workshop are not delicate enough, Su Hengyu wants to be more refined, and it is more convenient to make allicin later.
At the same time, she also found someone from the Nanshan Dart Bureau to help her find a doctor with good medical skills and not old-fashioned, after all, allicin and penicillin need such a professional person to take over the production.
There is also the compilation of medical books, and she is also collecting existing medical books and prescriptions, and it will take a lot of work to sort out the contents at that time.
Su Hengyu was still thinking about whether to invite someone to teach those orphans medical skills in Ci'an Hall, and when the time came, the work of sorting out medical classics could be sent to them.
With such a lot of things in front of him, Su Hengyu really didn't have the slightest intention of going to Emperor Wei's birthday banquet.
But Emperor Wei had already made such an arrangement, and Su Hengyu was not easy to save the emperor's face.
She raised her hand and pinched her eyebrows: "In that case, then you and Ziyun will go with me then." ”
"Mrs. Hou instructed you to go back to the Hou Mansion for a few days, and when the time comes, you will enter the palace with them." Mama Qin actually knew that her own young lady had some contact with His Majesty today, and most of the things in Beijing that were highly sought after by foreign envoys were made by her own young lady.
Now Emperor Wei specially ordered each family to bring all the heirs with him in order to let the young lady enter the palace to participate in the banquet.
In this way, there will definitely be a lot more people at the banquet, and the amount of silver taels will definitely be consumed.
can be valued by Emperor Wei like this, Mama Qin is also very happy for Su Hengyu. But at the same time, she felt that it was a pity that her young lady was a daughter and could not enter the court as an official.
It's not that she thinks the girl is bad, but it's a pity that Miss's great achievement can't be known to outsiders, and she doesn't even have a reward.
Su Hengyu didn't know how Mama Qin felt sorry for her in her heart, she only said: "I won't go back to the Hou Mansion, I have said before that I have nothing to do with them, and this time I went to the banquet with them because of His Majesty's orders." We have our own carriage, and we will be able to follow the carriage of the Marquis of Zhongyong when the time comes. ”
Su Hengyu made a decision, and Mama Qin replied to the Hou Mansion according to her wishes.
When Wang received the letter and read the contents of it, his face suddenly became even more ugly.
She casually threw the letter aside, covering her face and secretly feeling sad. She thinks she is a mother who has nothing wrong with her, and it was not her fault that her eldest daughter was held wrongly.
Why does this child not understand her so much and always make her sad?
Wang's mind is very complicated now, on the one hand, she doesn't want to be close to Su Hengyu, because every time she sees her, Wang will remember that her original perfect family was destroyed because of the appearance of this daughter.
On the other hand, she hoped that Su Hengyu would be full of admiration for her as she had when she first came to the Hou Mansion, and hoped that the other party would take the initiative to come over to get close to her, please her, and yearn for her mother's love.
The two extremes of emotions were mixed together, so that the Wang family did not want to accept this daughter, but also did not want to give up this daughter completely.
This is her child after all, but it is so unbearable. On the contrary, the jewel from the peasant girl was excellent enough to marry into the Guogong Mansion, which made the Wang family proud and angry.
I am proud that I have taught a real noble girl, and I am annoyed that the eldest daughter with her own blood can't teach it well.
Suddenly, she recalled that Baozhu told her two days ago that she had seen the son of the Yuezhou Zhizhou family and the eldest daughter talking happily.
Although the reputation of this Zhizhou prince is a little bad, I heard that two wives have died.
But the eldest daughter has an extreme temperament, and her reputation in Beijing is even worse. If you want to be the step-family of the son of Zhizhou, it should still be a match.
Wang sighed and thought to himself: If the Zhizhou family really came to propose, she would have allowed it.
Time passed slowly in Su Hengyu's busyness, and just when she was preoccupied with compiling the expansion plan of "Hua Xiangrong", Emperor Wei's holy life finally came.
On this day, all the houses in Beijing were arranged, and the red silk was hung up in the market, which was a lively scene.
Many stores have launched discounts today, and everyone goes out with a smile.
Jing Zhaoyin even arranged manpower in the downtown early in the morning, for fear that there would be some chaos today and affect his career.
According to the rules of the Great Wei side, the emperor's birthday banquet will naturally not be simple, and there is no early dynasty today. During the day, the emperor had to receive the gifts of the officials and foreign envoys in the palace, and in the evening there was a dinner party.
The two banquets are the main event, especially the one in the daytime, which is a good opportunity for the princes to perform externally.
For today, Mama Qin has been preparing for a long time, she came out of a big family, and she has a unique opinion on clothes and jewelry, and the few sets of clothes selected for Su Hengyu are dignified and not the playfulness of the little daughter, and she will not dominate at all on this occasion.
Su Hengyu was grabbed from bed by Mama Qin and Ziyun early in the morning, and after tidying up, he got into the carriage and drove in the direction of the Hou Mansion.
At this moment, the masters of the Zhongyong Marquis Mansion were almost cleaned up, and the Wang family asked people to see the situation on the side of several young masters and young ladies while waiting anxiously for Su Hengyu at the door.
"On such a critical day, I hope she won't lose her temper and delay time."
"Madame, this is wrong, I never play a small temper."
A voice suddenly came out, and the young girl showed half of her jade-like face from the carriage, and the words she said made Wang blush.
