Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 657

The next day, the imperial decree was delivered to the Su residence. Su Chen, Bai Susu, and Liu Mo Nong knelt in the courtyard to receive the decree. When the two daughters heard that they had been conferred the title of fourth-rank wife, their expressions were quite surprised, with an unbelievable look on their faces.

After all, Bai Susu belonged to the daughter of a merchant, and Liu Mo Nong was the female star of a brothel, so they didn't have a high status in the traditional concept.

Suddenly being conferred the title of imperial wife by the imperial court, there was a feeling of a blue bird turning into a phoenix. The promotion of status made the two daughters both excited and excited.

Especially Liu Mo Nong's status is low. She was born in a brothel and married into the Su Mansion as a concubine.Because the other women are either the eunuch's daughter or the daughter of a powerful and powerful person, their status is relatively noble, but she is the only one who comes from a romantic place, so she inevitably feels inferior and self-pitying.

But now that the court canonized the fourth-rank wife, she is no longer restricted by wives and concubines, and she can be regarded as a wife, and her status is even more noble than that of the uncanonized first-year wife and ordinary wife; of course she is very excited, as if the pressure in her heart It was as if a huge boulder had been jumped away, with surprise and excitement, and tears on his face.

Bai Susu was equally happy. Although she was the daughter of a wealthy merchant with a rich family, after all, the thinking of scholars, farmers, and businessmen was deeply rooted. Now that she can be conferred by the imperial court, she also feels that this is a great honor.

Even if she wants to go north to the Song Dynasty with her husband and leave the Southern Tang Dynasty, but the family members are still here, and she can follow her with a bright face, so she is satisfied.

Su Chen knew about this situation in advance, so his mood was stable. Seeing the excited expressions of the two girls, he felt that it was worth it.

"An Guohou, accept the decree and thank you!"

Su Chen nodded, saluted and said: "Minister, thank you Lord for your kindness."

He got up to receive the imperial decree, asked the housekeeper to bring the reward money, and gave it to the eunuch who delivered the decree, asking him to go to Peng's mansion to deliver the decree again, and sing about Peng Jingjing's canonization.

The eunuch who passed the decree took the golden cake with a smile, agreed, said a few words of congratulations, first took people to Peng's residence, and then returned to the palace to resume his post.

Su Chen's arrangement was thoughtful, so that the Peng family could also shine and be honored, and also give Peng Jingjing a surprise.

At this moment, Su Chen turned his head to look at Bai Susu and Liu Mo Nong, and said with a smile: "This is a special gift from my husband before leaving, isn't it a surprise? From now on, you are all equal, so you don't have to care about your past identities, even After we left the Tang Kingdom, we have to start from scratch, let go of the past, and start a new life from now on, understand?"

Bai Susu and Liu Mo Nong nodded, showing a look of overjoy, and also understood the good intentions of the husband.

"Thank you, Mr. Bai Susu!" Bai Susu smiled, the beauty of the city.

"Thank you for everything Xianggong has done for my concubine, Mo Nong is very satisfied, and I will never regret marrying Su Lang in this life!" Liu Mo Nong wept with joy, which brought the greatest impact.

Seeing the happy smiles and moved expressions of the two daughters, Su Chen felt in his heart that it was very worthwhile to do this, let them get rid of a knot in their hearts, and not have to care about their own backgrounds, so that they would get along more harmoniously.

Su Chen comforted his family members. Next, he had to think about how to get out of the golden cicada's shell and transfer some assets.

For this matter, Su Chen planned to ask Jing Hong to bring the slain soldiers he had secretly trained to carry out, so as to avoid too many people talking and leaking the matter.

Some of the Su family's surplus people and coins were taken out, and they were quietly transferred southward, spreading to the Jianzhou area.

In the afternoon, Su Chen received an invitation from the Song Dynasty envoys at his residence, inviting him to a restaurant for a banquet, drinking and talking.

"It's time to come, it's finally here."

Su Chen didn't refuse, and someone sent a message back, saying that he would go to the banquet.

.........

As dusk fell, Jinling City was peaceful with singing and dancing, and the lights were brilliant. Both the dignitaries and nobles and the common people knew that the Song Dynasty had stopped attacking, the two countries negotiated peace, and the war was temporarily ended, so they all relaxed.

Under the protection of the guards, Su Chen came to Sun Chu Restaurant by car. This restaurant has been built here since the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and it has been very famous since ancient times.

According to legend, during the Western Jin Dynasty, the famous writer Sun Chu often came to this restaurant to drink, and often became very popular with poems and songs. In order to pursue celebrity effect, the owner simply renamed the restaurant "Sun Chu Restaurant".

In the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, the accepted new owner rebuilt the restaurant and made it even more luxurious, which attracted Li Bai to visit and linger on. Hook. Buy Jinling wine in the morning, sing and blow Sunchulou." This made Sunchu Restaurant even more famous. At the end of Tang Dynasty, some people also called this building "Taibai Restaurant"

Su Chen came to Taibai Restaurant, holding the invitation in his hand, and there were guards from the envoys under the door, so he quickly stepped forward to inquire.

"Excuse me, is this Mr. Su Chen?"

Su Chen nodded and said, "I am!"

The guard of the Song Army looked at Su Chen, seeming very curious.

Because he loves martial arts legend novels, he heard Su Chen's name, and said very politely: "Mr. Su, the two commanders are already waiting in the Accord on the fourth floor. Please follow me."

"Okay!" Su Chen nodded.

The guard led the way and led Su Chen to the fourth floor. There were a few guards guarding the door and corridor outside an Accord in case there was an assassin. Tao Gu was assassinated, so Cheng Dexuan and others were still very cautious.

When Su Chen went upstairs, the Accord door opened, Cheng Dexuan and Liang Jiong stood up to greet him.

"Cheng Dexuan, the commander of the envoy, this is Liang Jiong, the deputy envoy. I am very happy to meet Jiangzuo Sulang!"

Su Chen cupped his hands and saluted, and said, "I'm down, Su Chen, and I've seen the two envoys."

Cheng Dexuan smiled and said: "From now on, we will all serve the court of the Great Song Dynasty, Mr. Su, please take a seat."

Liang Jiong said excitedly beside him: "That's right, the north is the Central Plains, with vast land, rich resources, and outstanding people. Although it is not as elegant as Jiangnan, it is better in vastness and magnificence. The city of Bianjing has a population of one million. Definitely will like it."

Seeing that the two were more polite, Su Chen nodded and said, "I hope so!"

"Please sit down!"

The three of them sat in the banquet room, asked the guards to order the shop guy to plan, and began to serve fine wine and dishes.

Liang Jiong couldn't help but said: "Today I finally met the real Mr. Su. Although we met for the first time, your poems, songs, essays, and martial arts novels have been widely circulated in the north. In the city of Bianjing, not many flower houses are singing your poems, and even some are imitating the operas of Peony Pavilion, Romance of the West Chamber, and Liang Zhu.

"In particular, your martial arts novels are widely circulated in the army. Some green forest heroes and Yamen police officers can't put it down. If they learn that Jiangzuo Sulang has arrived in Bianjing, I don't know how many people will come to you to discuss business and fight for it. You are welcome."

Su Chen felt that this is the treasure house of literature in Chinese history, which was stolen by him and embezzled, so he said modestly: "Thank you people of Song Dynasty for your love and love. How can I be so welcome?"

Liang Jiong said excitedly: "Master Su deserves his name. I have also read those books, and they are indeed amazing."

Cheng Dexuan smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Liang is the reader of several of your novels. After he came to Jinling of the Tang Dynasty, he kept clamoring to see you sooner, and finally waited for the opportunity tonight, haha..."

Su Chen picked up the wine glass and said, "Thank you two adults for your sincere hospitality. For your approval, Su Chen will toast to the two adults first."

"okay!"

Cheng Dexuan and Liang Jiong toasted and drank at the same time.

The atmosphere was good, there was a toast, and there was a return. After a while, everyone drank a few small glasses.

Liang Jiong held his forehead, a little dizzy: "The alcohol is a bit strong."

After finishing speaking, Liang Jiong fell asleep on the table and fell into a drunken state
Cheng Dexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Liang doesn't drink much, but he likes to drink too much every time. Come and help Master Liang to the next room to rest."

"Yes!" Two guards came in, helped Liang Jiong leave, and went to another room to rest temporarily.

Su Chen felt that something was weird, so he looked at Cheng Dexuan, who happened to be looking at him too, with an unfathomable smile on his lips.
