Linglong

Chapter 94

Not only that, but even the little girl that San Lang likes should be extra nice to her.

Didn't her father have a prejudice against Saburo and treat him coldly because of a past event in the late emperor's time?Although he is a bit stubborn, he is also respectable—the handsome young man who admires his daughter is the third prince and His Royal Highness King Zhou, and he refuses to pretend to be false. It can be seen that he is not greedy for vanity, nor is he deceived by glory and wealth. His character can be learned from.

The queen smiled and said, "With such a father, where can a daughter be? She must not be a vulgar fan."

The emperor showed disapproval, "Sister, the girl our youngest son can fancy must be a good one."

——The couple haven't met Linglong yet, but they already think that Linglong is a good girl.However, the empress thought that Uncle Yu was not greedy for power, and that like a father, like a daughter, he is exquisite; but the emperor said, what kind of vision does my son have, the girl he likes, how could it be wrong?

The queen smiled, "You're still right. Your Majesty the Emperor, if the two of us dote on our children, I will always lose to you."

The emperor said considerately: "I am pregnant for ten months, it is my sister who worked hard; after the birth, I should worry more, right?"

"Exactly!" The queen suppressed a smile and nodded solemnly.

Su Shengchun sent a letter back from Beijing.

Mrs. Su was worrying about his little granddaughter. When he saw the letter, he personally cut open the letter with a paper knife with trembling hands, took out the letter, and read it word by word.

Two lines of muddy tears flowed down his old cheeks.

"What's the matter?" Mrs. Su came in from the outside, and was taken aback when she saw him crying.

"Fortunately, Shengchun didn't suffer much." Old Master Su murmured embarrassingly, handed the letter to the old wife, took the square handkerchief himself, and wiped away tears.

Mrs. Su quickly opened the letter and read, "...Nurse is very strict, and the rules are very strict. At first I was very scared, and I couldn't sleep with my eyes open at night... Later I lived alone, and there were two little maids to take care of me. Me, but no one restrained me... When I arrived in Jinling, I didn't enter the palace and was sent to the Duke of Chu's mansion... Mrs. Chu Guogong is very kind. Her youngest daughter, Ami, was born in the same year as me, and we got along very well... ..."

Mrs. Su closed the letter and recited the Buddha's voice.

The granddaughter finally got the news, and she put her heart back into her stomach.

"Give the letter to Shengchun's parents to read, so they can rest assured." Old Madam Su asked tentatively.

Mrs. Su snorted, "Don't mention that pair of profit-seeking things to me! It wasn't because of the two of them secretly playing tricks, Shengchun wouldn't have had to suffer so much! It's better now, you didn't see the child's share of the burden at the beginning. Are you scared? It’s not certain what will happen in the future, the draft is not over yet!”

Although the old lady Su was angry in her heart, she still doted on her youngest son after all. She smiled and tried to persuade her, "Although Youting and his wife are ignorant, they are also Shengchun's real parents. How can parents not love you?" Your own child, don’t you think so?” After repeated persuasion, Old Master Su reluctantly said: “It’s good to show them, let them see the fear that Sheng Chun started to feel, and see if they are ashamed as parents. The old lady Su agreed repeatedly, "Yes, yes, let them see it and make them feel ashamed." She took the letter and left in a hurry.

After she went back, she ordered someone to call Yu Wenhui.

"Look at the letter from Shengchun." Mrs. Su said lightly.

Yu Wenhui was imprisoned for the past few days, her complexion was as pale as before, and she was a little depressed.Hearing that Su Shengchun had received a letter, her eyes lit up, and she couldn't wait to take the letter from Old Madam Su's hand, her anxious eyes fell on the letter paper, "Shengchun, Shengchun..."

Old Madam Su was originally angry, but seeing her like this made her feel relieved.

——She dotes on her youngest son, and she is even more tolerant of her youngest daughter-in-law.

Yu Wenhui read the letter seven or eight times in a row before he understood what it meant. He was elated, "Mother, Shengchun has won the favor of Mrs. Chu Guogong, right? Don't mention any princes and county kings. If he can marry Chu Going to the Duke's Mansion, it's also... also..."

She was happily making wishful thinking, but Old Madam Su couldn't bear it any longer, and she shot her sharp eyes on her face. Yu Wenhui was startled, her voice gradually lowered, and she didn't dare to say any more.

According to Yu Wenhui's thoughts, it would be good to be a prince concubine or county concubine, but it would also be quite good if she could marry into the duke's mansion of Chu State.Chu Guogong is the eldest brother of the queen, and he has the merits of being a dragon, and he is an important minister in the court.

"Anyway, it doesn't matter if you marry into the prince's mansion or the Duke of Chu's mansion, it's much better than finding your in-law's family in this city." Yu Wenhui lowered her head, muttering unconvinced in her heart.

The old lady Su ordered with a straight face, "Take the letter back, and when Youting returns, read it with him and write a reply to the child."

Yu Wenhui said softly, "Yes, mother."

Old Madam Su waved her hand and ordered her to back down.Yu Wenhui agreed, rolled her eyes, and begged with a smile, "Mother, Shengchun lives in Duke Chu's mansion, so we have to show something, don't we? Do you want to..." Mrs. Su was annoyed, " Do you think I don’t understand this idea of ​​the world? Naturally, I will order your sister-in-law to prepare some native products and thank you, and then send them along with the reply.” Yu Wenhui was overjoyed, and thanked with a smile, “Mother has eaten more salt than I have eaten. There is still a lot of food, how can I remind you? I am confused, confused. Mother, you have a lot of adults, don't be as knowledgeable as me."

After saying goodbye to Mrs. Su and coming out, Yu Wenhui held the letter and walked lightly.

Back in her room, Yu Wenhui turned the letter upside down and couldn't get enough of it.When Su Youting came back, she had already memorized everything by heart.

"Come here, Shengchun's letter." She waved to Su Youting with a smile.

Su Youting walked up to her in three steps and two steps, and snatched the letter from her hand.

After greedily reading it twice, Su Youting patted his thigh happily, "Our daughter is going to be a great success!"

"Isn't that right, Shengchun is coming out!" Yu Wenhui raised his brows with joy.

The husband and wife got together and read the letter from the beginning to the end again, and they were very happy.

"Hey, I want to go back to my mother's house." Yu Wenhui pushed Su Youting and discussed with him in a low voice.

Su Youting smiled, "My parents didn't allow you to go out, they said they were afraid that you would be confused. But this time, what kind of confusion can your mother's family make, right? I'll go and tell my parents that I will take a rest tomorrow and send you there personally. , pick you up personally, never leave you a step, and look at you from head to toe..."

"You scoundrel." Yu Wenhui chuckled and stretched out his fist to hit him.

Su Youting reached out and grabbed her hand, smiling very heartily.

Sure enough, he went to tell the second elder of the Su family about going back to his natal family.Old Mrs. Su was very angry, "She has the face to go back to her natal family? Send Shengchun to the draft, and she still has the face to go back to her natal family?" Su Youting replied, "Yes, no face back, no face back. Dad, isn't she... see The letter from the daughter, do you miss your mother? This mother and daughter are natural, father, do you think...?" Old Master Su was sullen for a while, and said: "No matter how overbearing I am, I can't block other mothers and daughters. You Ting, you send her there , to send her back, and she is not allowed to go anywhere other than her natal home, you know? If you dare to wander around..."

"Don't dare, don't dare." Su Youting hurriedly assured, "Father, she and I will not go anywhere except the Yu family."

Old Master Su's face was dark and he didn't speak any more.

This is the default.

Old Mrs. Su didn't talk any more, and Mrs. Su, the mother who doted on her youngest son, naturally wouldn't have trouble with Su Youting, and the two went back to Yu's house smoothly.

The old man Yu refused to see Yu Wenhui, and he also refused to see his son-in-law when he came back with him, and even his son-in-law didn't want to see him—"What's wrong with dad? You don't give my uncle any face." Yu Wenhui came back excitedly, and was splashed by his father Cold water, I can't help complaining.

Su Youting comforted her, "You are still banned from going out in Su's house, it's okay if I come to Yu's house to see my father-in-law's eyes."

Yu Wenhui hurriedly said: "That's different. When I marry you, I'm from the Su family. I don't have anything to say about how my parents-in-law should discipline me. You marry me, but I'm the son-in-law of the Yu family. My son-in-law is a spoiled guest, so you can't be neglected."

Su Youting laughed softly, "My lady knows that I have been wronged, so she can give me more benefits when I go back, isn't that all right?" He smiled very unscrupulously, Yu Wenhui understood what he meant, and reached out to beat him again in hatred.

Mrs. Yu refused to see them, and neither did Mrs. Qiao.

Qiao Shi is a gentle person, but Linglong is her reverse scale, if anyone harms Linglong, she will find it hard to forgive.Because Guan Shi and Yu Wenhui signed up several girls for the draft behind their backs, Linglong had to drink the secret medicine and fell into a coma for five days and nights. Qiao Shi couldn't let it go, and kept ignoring Guan Shi.Now that Yu Wenhui came, Qiao Shi was still angry and refused to see her.

Second Master Yu has a good temper, so he set up a banquet in the outer courtyard to entertain Su Youting, a young man and a charming guest.

Yu Wenhui was received by Mrs. Yu, Guan Shi, Jing Jia, and Jing Xi.

Yu Wenhui looked mysterious, and took out a letter like offering a treasure, "Hey, it was written by Shengchun." The old lady Yu couldn't sit still for a while, "How is Shengchun in the capital? Alas, every family of children, I went so far alone, I can’t sleep well just thinking about it.” Yu Wenhui was arrogant, “Mother, after you read the letter, you still can’t sleep, because you are so happy that you can’t sleep!” Old Madam Yu hurriedly said "Is it good news? Come here and let me have a look." Yu Wenhui smiled and handed the letter to her, "Mom, your eyesight is not good, I will read it for you." Shi glanced.

Guan Shi sat upright with no expression on his face.

Yu Wenhui read out the words in the letter word by word, and the expression of satisfaction was beyond words.

The old lady Yu smiled from ear to ear, "So, Shengchun has won the favor of Mrs. Chu Guogong? This is a noble person." Yu Wenhui smiled pretentiously, "Isn't it? Mother, Chu Guogong Madam is the queen's natal sister-in-law, she is more respectable than the princess in the palace."

Mrs. Yu said with emotion, "It's really unexpected that the child Shengchun looks honest and has no plans, but he has such an opportunity when he arrives in Jinling."

"Who says it's not?" Yu Wenhui raised her head and chest, full of ambition.

Guan felt uncomfortable, "Lian Shengchun can do this, Xiaoxi is many times stronger than her, if Xiaoxi enters the draft in Beijing..." The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and his chest became congested.

She was always good at making fun, but at this moment she felt extremely uncomfortable, so she remained silent.

Jing Jia and Jing Xi lowered their heads and did not speak.

The mother and daughter were not supportive, so Yu Wenhui felt lonely, so she asked Guan Shi with a smile, "Second sister-in-law, Shengchun is really promising, don't you think so?" , said: "Yes."

It was forced and sounded insincere.Yu Wenhui was dissatisfied, sighed deliberately, and said: "It's a pity that Xiao Jia and Xiao Xi didn't go, otherwise, with their talents and looks, these two sisters would definitely stand out."

On the surface, what she said was to feel sorry for Jing Jia and Jing Xi, but it was actually meant to gloat: Look, your two daughters have no chance of running for the election, how pitiful.

Guan's face flushed red.

The old lady Yu felt sorry for her granddaughter, and said lovingly: "A few days ago, I went to Lingyan Temple to pray for the Buddha, and I specially drew lots for Xiaojia and Xiaoxi. Xi, they are all blessed children, and they all have a bright future."

Guan stood up gratefully and blessed, and said in a low voice, "Thank you for your kind words."

"Then, what about Linglong?" Yu Wenhui asked intentionally.

Old Madam Yu smiled awkwardly, "Why should I worry about Linglong? Your elder brother and sister-in-law treat her like a treasure."

The three granddaughters only asked for a lottery for Jing Jia and Jing Xi, and Mrs. Yu herself felt guilty.But after thinking about it, Linglong was lucky enough that Eleven Lang and Qiao Shi doted on her so much.

Yu Wenhui's mind was not on the three nieces at all, so he casually sarcastically held up Su Shengchun's letter to show off again, "Mother, second sister-in-law, tell me, why is my family, Shengchun, so popular?"

There were hurried footsteps outside.

Guan raised her ears, "It looks like Shi Qilang is here. Mom, he's leaving so fast."

Old Madam Yu sat up straight, "Is it Shiqi Lang? Could it be that there is something urgent?"

The girl opened the curtain, and Second Master Yu came in like a gust of wind, with sweat on his forehead, "A servant came all the way from Jinling to present His Majesty's reward, mother, you should prepare as well." Old lady Yu has never experienced this in most of her life. In such a scene, I was a little flustered, and my speech was incoherent, "Your Majesty—isn't your majesty's reward for your father?" The implication is that I, a person in the inner house, don't need to show up.

Erye Yu hurriedly said: "Not only. Mother, but also the queen's reward, which is for you." He looked at Yu Wenhui, Guan Shi and others in the hall, and reminded with a smile, "And you, all ready to prepare Where's the sister-in-law? Where's Xiao Linglong? Get someone to call her."

Old Madam Yu hurriedly ordered someone to call Qiao Shi and Linglong.

Qiao Shi and Linglong had just arrived, and the smiling Mimi servant wearing a scarlet shirt walked in accompanied by Yu Erye.

The servant presented the Queen's reward to the old lady Yu, a pair of cold jade pillows, an ivory mat collar, a pair of jade ruyis, and ten dendrobium pearls.

Old Madam Yu expressed her thanks in trepidation.

There were also servants and maids who came in in an endless stream, and put down boxes, bamboo baskets and many bottles and jars in the room.A dazzling array of beautiful objects dazzles the beholders.

"This is the third lady?" The servant looked at Linglong with a smile, "Third lady, these toys are all given to you by the queen."

Linglong giggled, pointed to these things in the room, a little confused, "Excuse me, servant, are these all rewarded to me by His Royal Highness the Queen?"

Wang Xiaosan, your mother is very generous, but...the things she gave were really fragmented, it seemed like she had everything...

The servant looked at Linglong's hand, and said with a smile: "Princess Yongning just left school when the empress gave the reward. I heard it was for you. Her Royal Highness ordered people to move a lot from the Qingyun Palace where she lives. Things. Therefore, it may be from the hands of Princess Yongning, it is unknown."

"That's it." Linglong Yanran said.

Wang Xiaosan, it turns out that your sister also has a share.

Yu Wenhui looked at the various items with light yellow labels in half of the room, feeling a little dizzy.

Guan walked to her side calmly, and said with a light smile: "It seems that Shengchun is not promising, but because of Linglong's fame?"

Yu Wenhui was very annoyed, "Second sister-in-law, you—"

Guan turned his head in disdain.
