Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 38 The Master's First Temptation

Shen Lingze clicked on Su Jingning's name and asked, "Who is this?"

Xiao Chi leaned over to take a look, and said with a smile: "This slave has an impression, she is the granddaughter of the late Grand Master Mu."

Shen Lingze raised his eyebrows, it was really her.

Xiaochi continued: "Because the field was purchased only a month ago, the slaves almost didn't count it!"

"Oh?" Shen Lingze was really surprised, "Did someone from the Su family buy it for her?"

Xiaochi shook his head and replied: "According to the local county magistrate, the manager of the Mu family did it himself, and the purchase was urgent. He ran with him for several days to get this land. The Su family probably didn't know about it."

Shen Lingze stared at the names on the table and thought deeply.

Could it be that the Mu family specially bought private property for Su Jingning?
Not like that.

He checked before, and the Mu family treated Su Jingning very well.

If you want to give her private property, you will only buy a field near Kyoto or Taixing Prefecture, so that it is easy to take care of.

But the Xiaowengu River is not close to the two places, and the Mu family is not so downcast that they can only buy other fields.

If you think about it this way, you know it wasn't the Mu family's idea.

But it was the Mu family's steward again.

That can only be what Su Jingning wants to buy here.

After Shen Lingze came to a conclusion, doubt and curiosity appeared in his eyes.

Why does she want to buy fields here?

What is the purpose?
Shen Lingze's eyes fell on the booklet in front of him, his eyes couldn't help but froze, and he couldn't believe it.

She didn't know that the ancient river channel would be dredged again, so she bought the land in advance to take advantage of it!
But this was only thought of by him, and only a few people knew about it. How could she get the news?
Could it be that the people around him leaked the news?

Shen Lingze immediately vetoed it.

Not to mention that his people are extremely reliable, and the time is not right.

When he sent people there, the manager of the Mu family had already bought fields locally.

Or does she have another purpose?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Shen Lingze couldn't help frowning.

He opened a secret compartment under the desk, and took out a small rosewood box from it.

When it was opened, there lay an exquisitely crafted hairpin with pearls and flowers inside.

He pinched the hairpin and looked it up in front of his eyes, the beads on it were emitting a lustrous shimmer.

It was exactly the same as what Su Jingning wore on her head today.

Shen Lingze shook his head helplessly.

This Miss Su is really strange!

He stared at the hairpin in a daze, and the eyeballs of the two servants almost popped out.

When did my master hide a woman's hairpin?
It is so secretively hidden, and it looks so cherished!
Xiaochi winked at Chunshui.

Could it be that the Lord has someone he likes?
Chun Shui shook his head blankly.

He doesn't know!
Xiaochi rolled his eyes to the sky.

How did this idiot serve the master? I don't know about such a big matter.

I had only been away for a few days, and such an accident happened.

Seeing the confused and melancholy expression of the master, it must be hurt by love!

Thinking of the conversation just now, Xiaochi suddenly came to his senses.

My master's favorite person can't be this Miss Su! ! !
Could it be that the master begged Miss Su to no avail, so he secretly took someone else's hairpin as a memory, thinking about others when seeing things, feeling sad...

Xiaochi nodded silently, a little pity and sympathy could not help showing on his face.

That should be it!

Shen Lingze didn't notice the eyebrows and eyes of his servant,

From Su Jingning, he thought of the Mu family again.

Since Mu Changyun became an official, his son Mu Xiuzhu also resigned and returned to his hometown, and he has not recovered until now.

There are also Mu Changyun's students, who have resigned or been released, and there has been little movement in recent years.

Maybe it's time to move, so as to save the Bo family from being too idle.

Thinking of this, he smiled slightly and took back the hairpin, letting Chunshui serve the pen and ink.

After a little thought, a letter of "shua shua" will be enough.

He packed the letter, sealed it with wax, and handed it to Chun Shui.

He instructed: "Be sure to hand it over to the sixth prince personally."

This is a business matter, Chun Shui respectfully agreed, resigned and left.

But here Su Jingning didn't know that her purchase of the field had been discovered.

In addition to saying hello every day, she either stays in the room to read books and engraved chapters, or finds Su Jing's books to talk, or plays around with Su Jingzhuo and Su Jingzi, the time passes quickly.

It was Su Heng's rest day again, so Su Jingning took Nian Qing to find her father.

Su Jingyan and Meng He were also there, and they looked very happy.

Meng He often came to ask Su Heng for advice recently. Su Jingning had met him several times, and she was not surprised that he was here, so she just greeted him with a smile.

"Why is everyone so happy? But what's the good thing?" she asked.

"It's a good thing," Su Jingyan answered with a smile, "Brother Meng wants to formally worship third uncle as his husband, and third uncle has already agreed."

Meng He on the side also pursed his lips and nodded with a smile.

Su Jingning was a little surprised.

Su Heng smiled and said: "He'er is diligent, studious, well-behaved and sensible. I am satisfied to accept such a student!"

Meng He hurriedly cupped his hands and saluted, "Sir, I'm overwhelmed by the award. It's a good thing that He Nengyu has a good teacher like Mr.!"

After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, rather like a student of a gentleman.

Su Jingning looked at her father very happy, and felt that it would be good for him to accept a student.

Although Meng He was a bit shy, his temperament was not bad, and his temper matched his father's. This place was always deserted, and it could be more lively with more people.

She laughed and said, "Then my daughter congratulates father and Mr. Meng!"

Su Heng laughed when he heard this, but Meng He saluted her back with a blushing face.

Meng He's apprenticeship was discussed with his family, Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng both agreed with his idea. This time, he was talking with Su Heng first, and the two of them will choose a good day to bring Meng He to formally apprentice.

Su Jingning nodded secretly, this kind of person is the one who knows the etiquette!
After several people talked for a while, Su Jingyan and Meng He left.

Su Jingning sent to the door and looked at the backs of the two and couldn't help but frown.

Now it is the twelfth lunar month, and there have been several heavy snowfalls in Kyoto, and it is freezing cold, and it is too cold to go out without wearing a big fur coat.

But Su Jingyan was only wearing a thin cotton cloak, and the clothes inside didn't look very thick, which was in stark contrast to Meng He who was wearing a black fox cloak next to him.

Could something have happened?

Thinking of how harshly Wang has always treated him, Su Jingning couldn't help feeling a little worried.

But at this time Meng He was also there, and it was hard for her to catch up and ask, so Su Jingning could only suppress her thoughts, look away and opened the curtain to enter the room.

Seeing her coming in, Su Heng smiled and said, "You came just in time, I have something for you."

As he spoke, he went to the bookshelf behind and took out a plain paper envelope and handed it over.

Su Jingning received it in her hand suspiciously and looked it over, the envelope was open.

She took out the contents directly.

It was actually a thick stack of banknotes.
