Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 30 Speculation
Seeing the opportunity, Su Jingyan took him to leave: "Third Uncle and Third Sister, let's talk. Brother Meng and I will go back first."

After Su Heng responded, the two left.

Su Jingning asked after seeing someone out of the yard, "Why did Mr. Meng come to father?"

Su Heng smiled indifferently and said, "I came with Jingyan. These two children have similar temperaments and have a lot of contacts."

Su Jingning understood.

The third cousin always came to ask his father if he didn't understand anything, presumably it was Meng He who came to look for him, so he brought others to his father's place.

Su Jingning laughed: "Mr. Meng has already got the favor of the third cousin."

His father is very knowledgeable, he graduated from high school Tanhua at the age of 16, he is a very talented person.

It was only because of the rules of the dynasty that the son-in-law was not allowed to hold important positions in the court, so he had to work as a small editor in the Imperial Academy.

Fortunately, he himself is not very utilitarian, so he is happy to be an idler.

Therefore, Meng He and Su Jingyan's asking his father for advice was indeed rewarding.

What's more, Su Jingyan himself has the talent of number one scholar, and he will definitely benefit a lot from working with him.

Su Heng laughed, "It's nothing but a few more words."

As he said that, he asked again: "Why did you think of daddy today?"

Su Jingning said casually: "My daughter hasn't been to father's place since she came back, so I just wanted to come and have a look today because I don't have anything to do."

Su Heng nodded and beckoned her to sit down again.

Su Jingning shook her head: "My daughter can't sit still."

As she spoke, she glanced at the writing on the desk by the window, so she went over to look at it.

It is a pair of big characters in italics, it should be written "mind is as calm as water", but the word "water" is missing.

"Father didn't calm down, the words are a little messed up." Su Heng was a little embarrassed.

But Su Jingning knew that he was probably angry about what happened today, so she vented her emotions by writing.

It's just that Su Jingyan came from behind to interrupt him.

But she just didn't know, and said with a smile: "Daddy is self-effacing, I think this word is very good."

Being praised by his own daughter, Su Heng was very happy, and a smile appeared on his face.

He asked Su Jingning again: "I heard that you have been learning seal carving these years, how is your learning?"

Su Jingning was a little surprised, she didn't expect him to know this.

Seeing her expression, Su Heng explained: "Your uncle and I have written letters for a long time, and he often writes about your movements in the letters."

Su Jingning understood, but was a little moved.

No wonder my uncle always asked her what she was doing. It turned out that it was my father who asked.

She said with a big smile without shame: "At present, there are still some small successes."

At that time, her mother died, and her grandfather was afraid that she would be too sad and her body would be damaged, so he taught her seal carving. Unexpectedly, she fell in love with it as soon as she learned it, and she persisted without knowing it.

Now, every time she picks up the carving knife, she feels extremely at ease and peaceful.

"A-Ning can do everything well." Su Heng nodded without any doubt.

Su Jingning felt a little embarrassed.

Her eyes were bent into two crescent moons: "I will engrave a seal for my father in two days, please judge my daughter's level."

Su Heng immediately agreed happily.

He went to the bookcase behind him to get something and handed it to his daughter.

Su Jingning took it and looked at it, and immediately became excited.

"This is Yang Guyi's "Ji Gu Yin Ge"!"

Su Heng nodded with a smile: "Father has been looking for these since he heard that you learn seal cutting, but it's a pity that he only found this one."

Su Jingning shook her head excitedly: "This kind of imprint with the original seal is extremely precious, how can it be so hard to find! I am satisfied with this book."

She turned it inside out several times before putting it away lovingly: "Thank you, father!"

Su Heng waved his hand nonchalantly, and picked up the pen and paper on the table.

Su Jingning hurriedly stepped forward to help, and then asked casually, "Why doesn't Father Xiu Mu go out to find friends?"

Su Heng smiled wryly and shook his head, "Father's friends are basically in Hanlin Garden. It's fine to see them every day when I'm on duty. I finally have a day off. I don't want to face them anymore."

Su Jingning couldn't help laughing when she heard the words, but no, the group of people in Hanlin Garden who were as dedicated to learning as him could get along well with her father.

but……

After she finished laughing, she said, "Father, you can go find your senior brother!"

Su Heng said, "Most of them are not in the capital."

Su Heng studied under Su Jingning's grandfather Mu Changyun. Since he was forced to retire, his direct disciples were also suppressed. They either resigned and returned home or were released.

Su Jingning said: "Isn't your elder brother in the capital?"

Su Heng frowned, and stopped the movement of his hands: "I don't have the same temperament with him, and we don't have much contact with him."

Su Jingning asked: "A few days ago, why did I hear the gatekeeper's wife say that he came to our house?"

Su Heng was startled, and after thinking for a while, he finally realized: "It should be to look for your uncle. I heard that the two of them got along quite well."

Seeing Su Jingning's puzzled look, he explained: "Two years ago, your grandfather broke his leg. Senior Brother Han happened to meet him and sent him back. Later on, your uncle will thank him, and we will start dating after coming and going. , Our two families also give each other gifts."

Su Jingning's grandfather lived on the mountain all year round, and only went down the mountain to go home during the holidays. Su Jingning had just returned to Beijing, so she had never heard of it.

She nodded.

That makes sense.

These two are people who chase after fame and fortune, so it's not surprising that they get along well.

It can't be said that Han Hui defected to the Seventh Prince through his uncle, and later betrayed the Mu family.

But it's not right either.

Su Jingning hesitated.

She once heard from her uncle that although her eldest uncle borrowed the Bo family to climb up the ladder at the beginning, he had less and less contact with that place afterward, and now he just kept a not too far or a short distance.

If this is the case, how can we introduce Han Hui to the Seventh Prince?
Thinking of this, her eyes darkened, feeling that things were too complicated.

But Han Hui did take refuge in the Seventh Prince.

Could it be that it has nothing to do with the uncle, but the other people on the list?
She was not familiar with those people at all, and it would take a lot of effort to find out.

Su Jingning couldn't help feeling worried.

Su Heng saw that she was frowning and looking like she was wandering away from the sky, so he couldn't help laughing and said: "Why, if you have any troubles, you might as well talk to Dad."

Su Jingning came to her senses and quickly shook her head.

She laughed and said, "Ah Ning is thinking about what kind of stamp to engrave for father!"

……

On the next day, Su Jingning went to Songhua Hall early to pay her respects.

Su Jingshu has also arrived.

After all, Mrs. He is getting old, and he didn't sleep well after yesterday's tumultuous night. At this time, he is leaning on an azurite-colored brocade to recuperate his mind.

When she saw her two granddaughters coming to greet her, she waved her hands: "Go, don't wait for others. Remember to check the time and come back earlier."

Both Su Jingning and Su Jingning answered "yes" and walked out the door hand in hand.

Because there were only two of them going, the mansion only sent a carriage.

The two of them sat together without crowding, and with the addition of a maid of their own, it seemed lively and lively.
