son-in-law

Chapter 316 Gu Master
Lidefang.

Su Yu's carriage passed through the square gate smoothly, and went straight to the Dagongzi's mansion.Xu Luochen was shaking in the car, but his face was determined.

At this time, the Dagongzi's mansion was in ruins, with ten rooms and nine collapsed, devastated everywhere.It is said that the people in the mansion have moved to the second son's mansion.The chariot and horse turned around and turned away again.

The second son of Ximen's family is long gone, the family is small, and the courtyard is large but sparsely populated.The 200 people who escaped from the Grand Prince's Mansion moved in at the same time, and they didn't feel crowded.And Da Madam is laying off staff.

Some servants with severe burns were directly carried out of the mansion, leaving them to fend for themselves.He didn't bring it to the Second Young Master's Mansion at all.But at this time, they were dealing with some disabled or disfigured maidservants.The eldest lady disliked them and fired them one after another.But where can they go if they leave here?The Liang Dynasty began to fight again, and I don't know how long it will last.Once the war broke out, the market immediately became sluggish, and it was difficult to find a job, and it was even more difficult for them to earn a living because of their physical disabilities.

They were unwilling to leave, and knelt in front of the mansion begging to be taken in.But no one sympathized with them, and some even drove them away violently.

The cruelty of the clan can be seen from this.

Su Yu hated such a thing the most, felt uncomfortable, and offered to help.Give each person a gold coin, which is regarded as giving them some "cage" money.They went back to their mother's house, at least not empty-handed.

One gold coin is equivalent to one thousand renminbi, and tens of thousands of renminbi will be gone in the blink of an eye.Xiao Huan was speechless for a while, but she got to know Su Yu better and better, and she stopped talking about such things.Instead, he helped Su Yu keep an eye on those women to prevent someone from asking for it again.Xiao Huan was the most thoughtful of the second batch of maidservants in the princess mansion, otherwise she wouldn't be taken seriously by Tang Ling'er.

Many people didn't know Su Yu, and thought it was the Ximen family who sent someone to manage it.After everyone received the money, some people walked away in frustration without even saying thank you.Xiao Huan stomped her feet and cursed, at this time someone turned around as if waking up from a dream, and kowtowed to the nobleman.

The people in front of the Second Young Master's Mansion gradually dispersed. At this time, a burnt but somewhat familiar face appeared in front of Su Yu. lips.

Su Yu suddenly remembered that this was the last time when Xu Luochen was sitting at the door crying loudly in front of the eldest son's mansion, he provoked a powerful servant girl.At that time, she scolded the concierge, and also scolded Xu Luochen and Su Yu.

The servant girl's hair was burned away, and many scars were left on her face.The burn healed slowly, and there are still large scabs.No wonder Su Yu didn't recognize her at a glance.

"Here, here you are. Here are two gold coins." Su Yu took out two gold coins and handed them to her.

The servant girl knelt down and cried: "Why is the nobleman so kind to the slave family? The slave family really deserves it."

Su Yu handed her the money: "You offended me because I offended your master beforehand. You are not afraid of power and dare to speak for your master. You are a loyal slave. I respect your loyalty, so I will give you more."

The servant girl looked up at Su Yu: "It is said that you should turn against a gentleman and not argue with a villain. I have seen it today."

"Too serious, I'm not a gentleman." Su Yu helped her up.

The servant girl asked: "I don't know what the nobleman is here today? Now Madam is very resentful, and I'm afraid the talk will fail."

Su Yu thought for a while, and said, "I'm here to share some grievances for her." Pointing to the car, he said, "Xu Luochen is in the car, and he's here to propose marriage today."

"Begging for a kiss?"

"Yes, I beg Miss Nine of the eldest son's family."

The servant girl smiled suddenly: "Maybe it can be done, Miss Jiu is almost as good as me. A while ago, she was the preliminarily selected princess of Prince Geng's family. Now that she has been burned like this, the eldest lady is also annoyed by it. If Mr. Xu is still willing to marry, this time she should marry her." It can be done."

As she spoke, the servant girl habitually turned her head and walked back, but she couldn't go in, and stood there blankly.

Su Yu said to the servant girl, don't leave yet, wait until I go to the mansion to discuss matters, if it can be done, when Miss Jiu gets married, you will go to Xu Luochen's house as a dowry maid.The servant girl fell to her knees again, choked up and unable to speak.

As expected, the courtship was a success.But the process is not perfect.The eldest son's family is not upside down, and the dowry is not low.Just as the eldest lady said, even if my young lady is disfigured, she is still the eldest son of Ximen's eldest son.The three matchmakers and the six hires are indispensable, and the betrothal gifts are indispensable.Otherwise, I would rather my daughter not marry than to lose this role.

Su Yu said he would help with the money matter, but what was worrying was the scene when Xu Luochen and Ximen Luoxue met.Miss Jiu was burnt beyond recognition, with scabs all over her face.When they met, they hugged their heads and wept bitterly.Su Yu couldn't bear to look directly at him, and prayed secretly.I hope that when the scabs on Miss Jiu's face recede, the facial features will still remain.

-

In the afternoon, Su Yu went to the Kong's house in Beishi to sit for a while, and it was said that he wanted to study some business.But he was so secretive that even Xiao Huan didn't know what business he was going to do.But judging from the faces of the two sons of the Kong family and Mrs. Han, it should be a good deal.Otherwise why would they smile so brightly.

After leaving Kong's house, Su Yu went to several book and newspaper offices in Beishi to make plans for Xu Luochen's new book.Accidentally found a wonderfully written ghost story book, bought it, and planned to give it to Tang Linger.From Su Yu's point of view, Tang Linger's spare time life is very boring. There are only a few ghost story books on her bookshelf, so she probably likes them.

Back at the princess mansion, as usual, Xiao Huan went upstairs to report on her duties.Tell the princess what Su Yu did that day.

During the whole process, Tang Linger's expression did not change.But those who are familiar with her can still feel the princess's mental fluctuations.

Tang Ling'er didn't understand what was going on with Su Yu.I didn't see that he had any important business, but he was running around all day and he was too busy.Moreover, Tang Ling'er always felt that Su Yu had endless money to spend, and this day, the mediator was so lazy that he even gave alms everywhere.What's the matter, he also agreed to Xu Luochen's bride price?That is marrying the first daughter of Ximen's eldest son's family, who is less than ten million and can't afford it.

"Xiao Huan, tell me the truth, does the county horse hide a lot of money?"

"No more, it's all the previous bonuses and monthly salary. There is not much money left on the county horse now."

"Bold! How dare you lie to me!"

The princess glared, and Xiao Huan immediately knelt down on the ground: "Xiao Huan dare not lie to the princess!"

"You let him come up, and I will tell him personally. If you find out the secret, I won't spare you!"

Xiao Huan came to Su Yu crying, told the story, and asked Su Yu to go upstairs to see the princess.

The little maid looked a little scared.

Su Yu smiled: "Don't be afraid, the princess doesn't really want to investigate something. If so, just tie you up and let Wang Xun come to me. It saves the two of us from colluding."

"But the princess looks like the boss is not happy."

"I can't blame her. I allowed so many benefits outside. It's good that she didn't explode in anger. In fact, I was going to talk to her about it, but I just wanted to take a bath first. It seems that now I can't wash it anymore, I have to go and talk to her quickly, so as not to worry her."

"Oh……"

Su Yu and Tang Ling'er said that Xu Luochen intended to combine Chen Shou's "Three Kingdoms" with street legends, and write a long novel, which was serialized in Tang Xianshe's books and newspapers.With the influence of Xu Luochen and Tang Xianshe in the literary world, this book must be able to make some money.I dare not say too much, Miss Nine's dowry should not be a problem.It takes time to write a book, and Ouyang Jing will pay the money first.

Tang Linger's mood improved: "I heard that you have no money in your pocket?"

Su Yu pulled out the money bag and flipped through it: "Well, there is no money."

Tang Linger squinted coldly: "I heard that you still have gold coins in your purse, why do you say you have no money?"

Su Yudao: "If I guess correctly, I am now the poorest county horse in Luoyang City."

"Phew! You're not a county horse yet."

"That's the poorest possible county horse."

Tang Ling'er had a half-smile: "Do I need some for you?"

Su Yu blinked, feeling that Tang Linger had malicious intentions: "I think it's better to forget it..."

Later, Tang Ling'er asked Wang Xun to withdraw [-] coins from the treasury and put them directly in front of Su Yu.It gives people a feeling that the money is not worth it.If you don't have anything to do, you must know that there is nothing good to do.Then the Princess' face darkened, and she began to speak at length.The central idea is to accuse Su Yu of spending money indiscriminately.Tang Linger said, there are still many poor people in Qinghuafang, why do you go to Lidefang to give alms?That's about Ximen's family. His family is so rich that they don't feel sorry for burning their servants. Do you feel sorry for them?Yunyun, a few words.

No wonder you have to give money, sweet dates and sticks will make you dizzy.

Su Yu didn't want to take the [-] yuan, but after thinking about it, it was considered Tang Linger's kindness. If he refused, the princess would feel ashamed, and the storm would be more violent.Simply accept it, enduring being scolded.

After a while, Tang Linger stopped talking.

Su Yu raised his eyebrows: "There's nothing else, I'm going back to the house first. Now I have to write some decent articles. Otherwise, the censor will always be ranked at the bottom, and it won't look good."

Tang Ling'er lowered her head and fiddled with something, she seemed to still be holding scissors in her hand.

Hearing what Su Yu said, she thought for a while: "Why should you care about the ranking? Even if you don't become the censor, so what? Once you speak for the queen, you will easily be included in the prince's party, which is not good."

"I don't get involved in partisanship, I just make some suggestions about the economy."

"Oh... that's fine."

Tang Ling'er was fiddling with the sole of the shoe in her hand, but she hesitated and still didn't take it out.She herself felt that the soles of the shoes were ugly, with uneven surfaces and loose or tight stitches, making them unattractive and uncomfortable to wear.Hide the soles of the shoes and let Su Yu go.

Su Yu went back to the house with the purse in his hand, looking in a good mood.

Getting ready to take a bath, Tang Lian came to look for him at this time, saying that he found a Gu master and knew the black-backed golden-bellied bug.
