son-in-law

Chapter 486
For the past half month, Lao Huang, who claims to be "the best stonemason in the world", gets up early every day to polish stone balls.One a day, about the size of an egg yolk.When others asked him what he was doing, he himself couldn't explain it clearly, but only said that our young master has his own magic function.

This afternoon, Su Yu took Xiao Huan and Tong Yu to engage in carpentry.In fact, none of the three of them knew carpentry very well, but under Su Yu's leadership, they could always hear laughter.

Su Yu first went to buy a low table, three feet long and two feet wide, which was about the size of a chessboard.Wooden surrounds are nailed on the four sides of the small table so that things on the table can be blocked from slipping.Get another thin blanket, stick it on the table, and flatten it with an iron.The four corners of the table and the middle of the two long sides are provided with holes, and a net is arranged under the holes.Then paint the sixteen rolling stone balls made by Lao Huang, and finally get two straight wooden sticks.Su Yu called it "mini billiards".

The production was successful, and it was brought upstairs for the princess to watch.Explain the rules of the game and demonstrate how to hit the ball.The princess found it interesting, and picked up a two-foot-five club to play with Su Yu.The two of them were having fun on the couch, when they heard the servant girl report that Qiu Yao, the eunuch of the East Palace, had asked to see the county matriarch.

Su Yu hit the black ball into the hole and went downstairs.At this time, there were still five flower balls left on the table, all of which were left by the princess.The princess put the cue stick aside, her face was not very happy, because she felt that she had lost the game.

Su Yu brought Qiu Yao to Xiaoxilou.As soon as Su Yu sat down, he heard a "gudong" behind him, and turned his head to see that Qiu Yao was kneeling on the floor.

"I came to find the county matriarch today, and begged the magistrate to be an official. Although I have no great talent, I am a lovebird, not a hamster. I don't want to stay in the East Palace and live my life, I just want to ride the waves and fight through the waves. Somehow. In front of the county magistrate, I said boldly, if Qiu Yao is allowed to take up a position in the capital, he will definitely be able to play a more effective role than the current directors and station chiefs." While speaking, Qiu Yao presented the gift list .

"Get up."

Su Yu took a look at the gift list, they were just ordinary gifts, thinking that Qiu Yao couldn't bring out anything too valuable, Su Yu smiled and motioned Qiu Yao to sit down.

Qiu Yao saluted again before agreeing to sit down, but sat on the edge of the chair, ready to get up at all times, with a respectful appearance.

Su Yu put down the gift list: "You can work by Hong Dun's side for more than ten years and get the chance to be promoted. I believe you are capable. But the biggest problem now is not the problem of ability, but the problem of belonging."

Qiu Yao stood up immediately, and said seriously: "I will only serve the Commander in the future, but..."

"but what?"

"Even if I serve Commander-sama, I am not willing to turn against my old master. I hope Commander-sama understands. However, if Commander-sama and Eunuch Hong have a conflict, I will try my best to adjust it."

Su Yu smiled, feeling that Qiu Yao was quite scheming, just like "Xu Maogong will not forget Li Mi's old favor when he returns to Tang Dynasty".Xu Maogong respected the old master, but he was more appreciated by the new master Li Yuan.If you take refuge in the new master, you will bite the old master back, and become a white-eyed wolf instead.This situation will make Su Yu feel: Hong Dun has been supporting you for more than ten years and he still can't raise you well, so how dare I use you?

But even if he said that, Su Yu would not fully believe him.Su Yu even believed that he was using the allusion "Xu Maogong never forgets his salvation" to beautify himself.In other words, he had no loyalty to Hong Dun at all.Everything he did was in pursuit of "fame and fortune".

But it's okay, people go to high places, and good birds choose trees to live in.But now what Su Yu wants is someone who is capable and enthusiastic.What's more important is that Su Yu has no ambitions in Beijing, and he doesn't expect to work for too long.But now, everything Su Yu did was paving the way for Cao Yuhan.In fact, Su Yu helped Cao Yuzan for the sake of "fame and fortune".For example, getting first-hand information from the queen mother can make Su Yu rich.Although there was a feeling of "stealing the title as a gift to the rabbit" between the two of them, Su Yu would not be so troublesome for Cao Yuhan just because of their feelings.Su Yu doesn't have the "great ideal" like Ouyang Jing.

Su Yu signaled Qiu Yao to sit down: "Under the weight of the Queen Mother, Hong Dun and I are enemies in the Jingtong. I advise you not to change your ownership in the open, otherwise Hong Dun will definitely retaliate. Even if there is, I will keep you , your life will not be too easy, he will give you small shoes from time to time, it is enough for you. How about this, I will submit a list to the Queen Mother and remove the two directors. Then I will nominate new officials at the Jingtong Conference. With As far as I know about Hong Dun, he will definitely fight with me, but this time I don't intend to give him a chance to fight. I will directly nominate two people, including you. And you are his. I will make him I feel that I am afraid of him, so I made concessions for him in advance. As long as he feels that he has face, I think he will agree to my arrangement."

"Thank you Lord Su!" Qiu Yao knelt down again: "Lord Su's kindness, Qiu Yao will never forget it!"

Su Yu usually doesn't take these beautiful words to heart, so he helped Qiu Yao up, smiled and said, "Don't say that, we all work for the Queen Mother. If you behave well enough, the Queen Mother will find you. And you too If a father-in-law is appreciated by the queen mother, he may work for the queen mother in the future. At that time, I will still need the support of Qiu Gonggong."

"Hey, Master Su's words really upset this slave." Qiu Yao suddenly lowered his voice: "This slave is clear in his heart that the Queen Mother really likes Master Su. No matter when it comes, this slave will not dare to stand shoulder to shoulder with Master Su."

Su Yu frowned: "What do you mean by that?"

Qiu Yao became nervous: "Uh... Master Su, this servant is speaking from the heart. And... although you and the Queen Mother usually only meet in the back hall..., but..., this..."

This is obviously to remind Su Yu that you are too close to the queen mother, and there are already rumors outside.It is a good thing for Su Yu to hear such a "reminder" directly.What I am most afraid of is not telling anyone, and I will become deaf.

Seeing Qiu Yao's embarrassment, Su Yu smiled: "Don't worry too much, I'm just asking casually. I feel very relieved that you can tell me what you heard. You are also thinking about me, and I know it well. I will be promoted in the future. If you are the chief, you don’t have to tell me the information you get, or you will be discovered by Hong Dun sooner or later, which is not beautiful. How about this, I ask the Queen Mother to formulate rules. In the future, the chiefs and station chiefs will report the news, and they will be divided into Report A, Report A, Report B and Report C. They correspond to the Queen Mother, me and Hong Dun respectively."

"Master Commander is wise! Qiu Yao really admires him!"

After sending Qiu Yao away, Su Yu returned to Xiaofeng Pavilion.When I went upstairs, I heard the sound of "bang" and "pop" from upstairs. It seems that the princess is practicing billiards.Tang Ling'er has a strong desire to win and lose. When playing with her, she can't always beat her, otherwise she will stop playing after a few more games.Just like playing chess, she only played go with Su Yu, but not chess with Su Yu.The reason she gave was that chess is too murderous.

Su Yu has always believed that making one's own wife happy is not an idiot; making other people's wives happy is an idiot.Of course, Ouyang Jing must hold a different point of view.Everyone has their own aspirations, regardless of high or low.

Then play ball with the Princess, deliberately letting her go.The princess found out that there was a chance to win, and her energy doubled. Seeing her anxious and serious look, Su Yu found it funny.All the fun in life is here.Seeing that the princess likes this billiard game, Su Yu said that after the princess gives birth in the future, I will play a big table and have more fun.Hearing this, the princess looked expectant.

……

It was already dark, and the princess went back to the house to rest.

The princess slept on the big bed and let Su Yu sleep on the small bed.

Lying down separately, the princess was silent.Su Yu couldn't sleep, and lay on his side, looking at the princess's slender figure.

Since taking a concubine, Su Yu never gave Feng Yu any clothes.The princess said that she will arrange Feng Yu's clothes in the future.As a result, the princess who picked and searched was as good as ever, and the clothes she gave Feng Yu were only slightly better than the maid's clothes.But I heard that Feng Yu is very satisfied, because the princess can treat her separately from the maid, which already shows the princess's care.

Feng Yu's fear of Tang Ling'er came from the bottom of her heart, and she also admired the princess very much. Even a little gift made her feel flattered.

It is worth mentioning that after taking a concubine, Wang Xun was not as "strictly guarded" against Feng Yu as before.This is like a line of defense that has been breached, and it is meaningless to defend it again.But Su Yu still didn't plan to find Feng Yu behind the princess's back. He lay on the small bed and looked at the princess lying on the big bed.I wanted to say something, but I didn't say it.

Tang Ling'er seemed to sense that Su Yu was looking at her, so she opened her eyes.With the windows open in summer, the princess's eyes are so big that it seems to be able to reflect the stars outside the window.She seemed to have thought of something, she didn't look very happy, she lay there and stared at Su Yu.She sat up suddenly, walked over with her bare feet, and squeezed onto Su Yu's small bed.

"Oh! Jinfeng! I don't want to live!"

Suddenly, Xu Luochen wailed from downstairs.In the middle of the night, he came to cry again.This "ow" sound caused the giant dog in the eighth lady's house next door to roar, and the chow chow in the princess's mansion also rushed to the front yard and started barking.For a while, the sound of dogs barking was endless.

Su Yu comforted the princess to continue to sleep, and went downstairs to see Xu Luochen.

Xu Luochen sat on the ground crying like he was about to die again, and when he saw Su Yu going downstairs, he fell to the ground and twitched.

Wang Xun was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and said to Su Yu in a low voice: "The county matriarch also saw this, and this person disturbed the princess twice in a row. Although he is a friend of the county matriarch, the servants think that he cannot be allowed to mess around like this in the future. He will come to the princess mansion in the middle of the night, and he needs to report to the door."

Su Yu nodded, and Wang Xun took the order to talk to the concierge.

Su Yu pulled Xu Luochen up and dragged him into Xiaoxilou.

Xiao Huan quickly got up and lit the lamp.The little maid also had a look of hesitation on her face.

"Xiao Huan, you go down first."

"Here."

After arranging Xiao Huan, Su Yu turned to ask Xu Luochen: "If you guessed correctly, Ximen's family has raised new conditions, right? I said that if you carry the sedan chair, it won't bring you any good results. You don't believe me .”

Xu Luochen wiped away his tears: "This has nothing to do with the sedan chair, it's just that the lady doesn't like me, and keeps making things difficult for me."

"Tell me, what conditions did she propose this time?"

"She said that she has engaged her daughter to the third son's wife and nephew."

"What did you say?"

If it was just adding conditions, Su Yu would not be annoyed.But hearing that Ximen's family unilaterally broke up the marriage contract and gave their daughter's engagement to another family, Su Yu became a little annoyed: "What kind of character is this Gongsun Li? She is deceiving too much!"
