Chapter 56 The Madman
Chapter 56 The Madman
Three private rooms are reserved in Wan Qing Building, so it is naturally impossible for Su Wanru to sit with the noble King Ning and Han Jiangyi and others.
She thought of Shen Zhan, who said he would not welcome King Ning before, but he really didn't show up, not even Du Shizi of the Marquis of Jiangyin.
Was it on purpose, or did something happen?
"This person..." Su Wanru took a sip of the fruit wine, looked at the table and didn't have any appetite, she rested her chin in a daze, "Prince Ning is so liked by Zhao Zhiang, and he is so popular, the prince should be very nervous, right?"
Zhao Zhiang seems to be a few years older than his father, so he must be around sixty this year.
She has heard about the prince, because when he was born, Zhao Zhiang fought all day long. He was captured several times along with his mother, and the prison cells were changed several times. He suffered a lot, not only in poor health, but also in character. Some cowardly and timid.
In addition, among Zhao Zhiang's sons, the four princes and the seventh princes who followed him in battle were better. These two are brave and good at fighting, and the other is resourceful and decisive. They are Zhao Zhiang's right-hand men.
In the early years when Shen Zhan did not seek refuge, half of Zhao Zhiang's world could not do without these two.
As for King Ning, this is the first time she has heard of it, and she really doesn't understand it.
But looking at this person today, he doesn't look like a stupid person, otherwise he wouldn't be the first prince with a title.
Will someone be dissatisfied?Everyone wants to be the king of the world, right?
The fourth prince and the seventh prince have made countless contributions, and in the end, like a person who appeared halfway, they will not be reconciled to being a prince and getting a few acres of land for rent.
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.
The little grandson, the crown prince, King Ning, Shen Zhan...
"If the second brother wants to take revenge and regain the world of the Later Song Dynasty, he must not rely on his own ability alone. Let them make trouble within themselves first!" She was a little excited, drinking sips of wine without noticing, "Assassination! If you can't kill King Ning, it's good to scare him. He will definitely think that one of his brothers did it, no matter who he thinks, if he bury the wire, it will burn one day."
She was thinking about the future, sitting quietly in the corner alone, Liu Sanniang pulled her clothes, and said in a low voice: "I thought of something, my face is red, and my eyes are shining."
"Thinking wildly." Su Wanru regained her composure, and said with a smile: "When I have money, I will build a yard facing the sea, enjoy the sun every day, and do what I like."
Liu Sanniang was taken aback when she heard the words, she seemed to think that her idea was very good, "Where is the sea, are you going to Fujian?"
"Yeah." Su Wanru nodded and said with a smile, "I've seen it on the territory map. After passing through Fujian, there is a Fragrant Island on the opposite side. It's small, but it has everything. It's very suitable for people to live in."
Like Hong Kong, there is a pier extending in all directions, how can she make life prosperous.
"You think so far." Liu Sanniang laughed, clinked glasses with her, and said sincerely: "I hope your dream will come true."
Su Wanru laughed. Whether she can come true depends on what he intends to do after rescuing Su Ji.
This meal is really just eating, and they will come back when they are full. When they are about to arrive at Jinxiufang, Su Wanru thought about it and said to Liu Sanniang quietly: "I'm going to buy something, and I'll be back in half an hour. If anyone asks, you can Just say you don’t know.”
Liu Sanniang didn't ask any more questions, she nodded and said, "Be careful."
Su Wanru walked two streets, and still found the two women from the day before yesterday. She stood at the street corner for a while, then turned back a little discouraged.
"I won't go." She said a little angrily: "Mind his business, I'm really too busy to panic." She returned to Jinxiufang with a mutter, and the two women were squatting at the entrance of Jinxiufang, and they didn't shy away from it , just watching her enter the door so blatantly.
Shen Zhan went out early in the morning and agreed to go to Songjiang with Du Zhao to see a blacksmith, but when Du Zhao appeared in a carriage, he apologized in embarrassment. I really dare not ride a horse to blow the wind, and ask Lord Hou to make amends."
He said again: "However, the four horses pulling the cart are all excellent horses, and they will never delay your journey, Lord Marquis."
"Your body is important." Shen Zhan didn't care, "There's no need to hurry, we just need to slow down."
Du Zhao was very grateful after hearing this.
The two got on the horse and the other into the carriage, and each brought two attendants. Min Wang went to do some packing first, and they were on the road just after dawn.
As soon as Du Zhao sat firmly, the boy who had been sitting on the shaft of the car with his head bowed all the time shrank towards the car door with his sleeves folded. Du Zhao coughed and said, "Liu Li, the tea I asked you to bring is here. Come in and make some tea. A pot, send it to Lord Hou when you rest your feet."
"Yes!" Liuli Hammer should have climbed into the car, and as soon as he got in, Du Zhao exclaimed, "You... nonsense!"
He was furious, brushed away the glass round felt, and shouted: "A Yuan, how could you do such a thing," and ordered the driver outside: "Stop on the side of the road, I'll go and complain to Lord Hou, you will Send it back, miss."
"Brother, brother." Du Yuan begged for mercy, hugging Du Zhao's arm, "Brother, don't drive me back after I've come out. I swear, I will pretend to be a servant and never let Lord Hou find out. Let others find out."
How can Du Zhao follow her temperament? This is going out to do errands, and she is with Shen Zhan, "You forgot what happened last time. You went home and cried for several days. If something happens again this time, you will Do you want to be a human again?" He said again: "Don't make trouble with me, I won't agree, go back quickly."
Du Yuan's eyes turned red immediately, and he burst into tears, "Do you think I did it on purpose? I just wanted to do my best because I saw you and your father working so hard to plan for the family. I am married to Lord Hou, and with his full support, our family will definitely be better."
"Shut up." Du Zhao felt sad and embarrassed, "How can you say such a thing like a girl."
Du Yuan cried and said: "Why can't I say such a thing. We are all members of the Du family. I can see that you are doing your best for the family. Although I am a woman, I can't be worse than you. Brother, you Just let me go, I will be obedient and never mess around."
Du Zhao's eyes turned red when he heard that.
The Du family is not like the Han family. It has been operating at the seams for hundreds of years. It is God's will that they lost their bet this time. But relying on their ability, they will definitely be able to turn around in a few years. But they are different. They are scholars and belonged to their ancestors The rule is to be a person according to one's duty, and you must not go with the market and corrupt the style of the family.
Therefore, now that the imperial court is newly established, they want to have a place, but there is no one to help them, and every step is extremely difficult.
It is guaranteed that after two years, when the court is settled down, the Holy Majesty will seize the title, and they, the Marquis of Jiangyin, will definitely bear the brunt of it.
"No." Du Zhao waved his hands, "Even if we live on the street to beg, we can't sell our daughters for glory and let your dignified Miss Du's family do this kind of low-class thing."
Du Yuan cried louder, humming, shaking his head, "If I don't leave, I won't leave."
"Keep your voice down." Du Zhao was in a hurry. Shen Zhan might have heard her crying, "Don't disturb Lord Hou."
After he finished speaking, the car had already stopped, and Shen Zhan teased through the car door: "Yan Qiu brought a female family?"
"Master Hou." Du Zhao blushed suddenly, hurriedly asked Du Yuan to put on his hat, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and replied, "Master Hou laughed, Yan Qiu..." He planned to admit it, but it was better than letting him Shen Zhan knew that his sister wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, so she didn't even want a woman's courtesy, justice and shame.
"Yan Qiu is rude." He was so ashamed that he bowed to Shen Zhan, and the curtain of the unflattened car opened, and Du Yuan came out with his hair covered, "Master Hou, don't blame my brother, I insisted on coming along. of."
Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows and took a look at Du Yuan.
"A Yuan!" Du Zhao was angry and angry, but Du Yuan made up his mind to ignore Du Zhao, stared at Shen Zhan, and said: "A Yuan is playful, knowing that my brother is going out to work with Lord Hou, so he secretly Came here pretending to be a servant, if you want to blame Hou Ye, you can blame me."
Shen Zhan didn't remember what Du Yuan looked like, but he remembered what happened in Si Sanbao's residence. He nodded at Du Yuan with the tip of his nose after listening, and looked impatiently at Du Zhao, "You can settle your affairs yourself. I'll wait for you at the front inn for half a day."
Du Zhao was very grateful, "Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you, Lord Hou."
Du Yuan was dumbfounded. There were so many people last time and she was very embarrassed. Shen Zhan was impatient with her. Although she felt ashamed afterwards, she could understand, but today...how could Shen Zhan have such an attitude?
She thinks she has good looks, is pretty and cute, and has a good family background, not to mention that his brother is still here, Shen Zhan must give some face.
He is so unlike a high-ranking, powerful and self-cultivated Lord Hou.
"Master Hou!" Unconvinced, Du Yuan jumped out of the car, looked at Shen Zhan with his hips on his hips, "I want to have a few words with you."
Shen Zhan frowned, and his face darkened. Du Zhao was terrified, pulled his sister and shouted: "What are you messing around with?" Shen Zhan is not an ordinary person. Hooligans.
But Du Yuan didn't know that for so many years, she had never met someone like Shen Zhan. Normally, whether it was with her elder brother or aunts and aunts and aunts, they all obeyed and pampered her, so she was not convinced!
"Say what." Shen Zhan pointed his chin at her, ready to give Du Zhao face, "Say it."
He didn't intend to get off his horse, and he didn't intend to be like a romantic scholar, show off his own demeanor with the beauty, Du Yuan was stunned again, looked at his brother, summoned up his courage, and said: "Master Hou Do you like women?"
Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows, and Du Yuan said again: "It is said that Lord Hou has raised many subordinates in the yard. Does Lord Hou not like women?"
"A Yuan!" Du Zhao wanted to slap his younger sister unconscious. The girl could say anything, "Shut up."
Du Yuan didn't want to, and looked up at Shen Zhan, "The beauties given by others, you not only didn't move, but also gave Si Sanbao another one. Does the Marquis not like women?"
"Need to explain to you?" Shen Zhan immediately lost his patience, waving his hands as if to chase away flies, "Hurry up, hurry up."
Du Yuan's face turned pale, and Du Zhao immediately pulled his younger sister to leave. Du Yuan forced him to ask, "Master Hou didn't deny it, did he admit it?"
"You talk a lot of nonsense." Shen Zhan looked at Du Zhao angrily, "Where did you come from? Tell him, I like men or women."
Du Zhao was sweating profusely, and replied, "Master Hou likes women."
"Did you hear that?" Shen Zhan was so annoyed, and he didn't want to fight with a little girl. He was in a bad mood today.That little white-eyed wolf knew that he was going to look for her at night, and he came back so late, and he didn't realize it at all.
He was waiting for her in the room like a resentful woman, so mad at her!
When he finishes his work and goes back, he must take good care of her.
Du Yuan chased after him, "Master Hou, you always want to marry a wife and have children, then you can marry me, I can do it, and I can give you many concubines, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Shen Zhan looked at her like a lunatic, and Su Wanru couldn't help but appear in front of him...
The little white-eyed wolf would definitely not say such stupid things. It is estimated that when they get married in the future, if he takes one more look at the woman, she will tear out his eyeballs.
Thinking of this, he laughed sullenly, the little white-eyed wolf is still smart.
He looked at Du Zhao, "I'll wait for you in front." After saying that, he left.
"Let's go." Du Zhao pulled Du Yuan helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Don't think about it anymore. It's not that it's not that the Marquis doesn't like women, but..."
Du Yuan was taken aback, and said curiously: "What is it, brother, tell me quickly."
"I heard that Master Hou has a girl in his heart." Du Zhao pulled his sister into the car to distract her, "Don't think about these things anymore, stay at home, your brother will plan for you of."
Du Yuan rolled his eyes, "You said Lord Hou has someone he likes in his heart?" She thought of Shen Zhan's people, who don't pay attention to any women, what would it be like if he really liked someone.
As she was thinking, Du Zhao immediately winked at the boy driving the carriage, and ordered in a low voice: "No matter how noisy she is, don't let her go."
The young man should be, patting his horse and rushing back to Yingtian, Du Yuan didn't make a fuss, just sat quietly in the car, and went all the way back to Yingtian.
At this moment, in the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, Han Jiangyi came back from the outside, and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood. He washed and changed his clothes, and just sat down to drink tea. Han Zhengying knocked on the door and came in, smiling: "Brother, you are in a good mood?"
"It's not bad." Han Jiangyi poured tea for his sister, "Why are you here, but something happened."
Han Zhengying took a seat opposite and asked, "Brother went out to meet King Ning the day before yesterday, how was it?"
"Prince Ning is more approachable than we thought." Han Jiangyi told Han Zhengying what happened in the past two days, deliberately speaking in detail, to make Han Zhengying interested, "...there is a little servant who is not careful I knocked over the tea cup and splashed it on King Ning's robe, I thought he would be angry, but he just smiled and comforted the servant not to be afraid."
Han Zhengying listened carefully and asked, "Have you ever talked about the situation in the capital?"
Han Jiangyi was a little disappointed that he didn't ask about King Ning's personal situation, but then he felt that he was thinking too much. They were wishful thinking, and King Ning didn't know what to think. Positive."
Han Zhengying nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked again: "Marquis of Zhennan, you really haven't gone?"
"No. He's out on errands, and he won't be back until a few days later." Han Jiangyi replied: "My lord has sent a name card, and I guess they will meet when Lord Hou comes back."
Han Zhengying nodded, and said goodbye to Han Jiangyi a few more times.
"Miss." The woman next to her greeted her, and replied in a low voice: "I told Miss Du's mother-in-law a strange thing. It means that she didn't see Miss Du go out, but she came back from outside at noon. gone."
"Whose car did you take?" Han Zhengying sat down on the Fulang, looking at the clusters of chrysanthemums blooming in the garden, his expression was erratic, and the mother-in-law replied: "I came back in Du Shizi's car. There must be no one." Wrong, four good horse-drawn carts, go very fast."
"Oh?" Han Zhengying raised his eyebrows, "Has Du Yanqiu gone out? With whom?"
The mother-in-law whispered something in her ear, and Han Zhengying sneered, and said, "...she has always been playful, so she must have followed Du Yanqiu out secretly, and was turned back halfway."
"It should be." The mother-in-law didn't object. Their young ladies are always smart, and their guesses are almost inseparable.
Han Zhengying sat for a while, got up and walked sideways and said, "The Marquis of Zhennan is not an ordinary person, so don't worry about Du Yuan for now...we will visit her after she hits the south wall."
"Where is Miss Su Xiu, what have you been doing these days?" Han Zhengying asked.
The mother-in-law replied: "Since she found out that we sent people to follow her, she seems to seldom go out. I came back from dinner at Wanqing Building yesterday. She must have planned to go somewhere. When she found out that we were following her, she turned back. .”
"She's very smart." Han Zhengying was sure that there was something going on between Shen Zhan and Su Wanru, but she couldn't figure out why Shen Zhan was sneaky and didn't take her back. "Be careful, no matter what you do. You have to come and tell me ahead of time."
The mother-in-law should be, and said cautiously: "What happened last time... Miss, don't you plan to do anything else in the future?"
"Don't move for the time being." Han Zhengying chuckled lightly, "She's too smart, some small fights won't move her at all. Instead of doing this, it's better to stay still."
Su Wanru is very busy, and she doesn't care about what other people are doing. She was invited to the Jinxiu Hall early in the morning by the new Aunt Feng. There are more, and they are also older. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Hu Qiongyue sitting at a corner, doing something quietly.
"Come here, all." Aunt Feng was very careless about her business, "From today onwards, you are all working here. The upstairs and downstairs have been arranged, and there are seats for you. Did you hear that?"
Liu Sanniang frowned, and followed Fu Fu Ying.
"You don't care about the affairs?" Qing Hong was furious. The room where she worked was originally for one person, but now four people sat in it, staring at her like guards and prisoners, asking questions for a while. Asking that, just for a short while, she was almost bored to death.
"Si Gong said let them make trouble." Liu Sanniang replied with a suppressed voice: "When the trouble comes out, we will drive them away."
Qing Hong curled her lips and said nothing.
Su Wanru stood behind the others and didn't move. After a while, she was arranged to sit on the embroidery stand on the first floor like everyone else. She brought all the drafts, set up the embroidery stand, took the needles and threads, and ignored everything else. People, concentrate on doing things.
She wants to enter the Moon Tower, the embroidery this time is the key, if she does it well, even if Director Duan doesn't have the idea of taking her into the Moon Tower, she still has a way to make Director Duan think about it.
"Siqiu." Aunt Feng called to Lu Siqiu, "Did you bring your needle and thread, please stay in Qinghong Room, just talk to me."
Lu Siqiu took a little girl to carry the embroidery frame, and answered with a smile, followed Aunt Feng to Qinghong's room.
The door was open, and Su Wanru saw a wenge hanger inside. On the rack was a bright yellow dragon robe with no sleeves. The dragon on the robe had already been embroidered. Even if she was so far away, she could feel the The luxury and grandeur of the clothes.
Qinghong's workmanship is really good, and it should look even better when the sleeves on both sides are finished.
It's just a pity that the person wearing it is Zhao Zhiang.
Su Wanru looked away, she didn't want to see this dress at all.
Qing Hong looked at the noisy place, it used to be her work room, but now she looked like an outsider, with nowhere to go, she stood at the door for a while, and said with a smile: "Aunt Feng, I have something to do, I'll be here in a while, you guys talk first."
She didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, she turned around and went to find Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was very helpless, "There is nothing I can do about it, let alone you and me. You go back to work first, and when the in charge comes back later, I will talk about it." .”
"It doesn't matter what they do, you can do your own thing well, you know."
Qinghong had no choice but to go back.
In the past two days, Lu Siqiu felt that the dark clouds above her head had finally dispersed, and she had a sense of transparency... Aunt Feng agreed to take her with her when she returned to Beijing.
In the future, she will stay in the capital and never return to this place.
She stood up and looked at the semi-finished dragon robe hanging behind her with envious eyes... After all, Qinghong is still the most beautiful in Jinxiufang, and most of them embroider decorations for the empress's personal use, only Qinghong But the embroidered dragon robe.
What an honor.
She looked carefully. Seeing her like this, Aunt Feng explained: "Actually, there is no difference in needlework. The difficulty lies in the division of threads and color matching. When to use gold thread and when to use silver thread, and how to distinguish the dragon." The momentum cannot reveal frivolity."
"It's not easy. My aunt will teach you in detail later."
Lu Siqiu took it for granted, eyes full of envy, "Auntie, if you embroider it yourself, it must be better than this?"
"That's natural. Back then, your mother and I were incomparable in craftsmanship. Especially your mother, if it wasn't for the eyes..." Aunt Feng showed disdain, "This time, the company was the first to bring the dragon robe here. She waved her hand in the middle of her speech, not wanting to say anymore, "It's all a foregone conclusion, if we talk too much, we will look petty. "
Lu Siqiu's eyes lit up, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I think there are still sleeves and belts that are not finished, why don't aunt take them and make them yourself."
"The acupuncture methods are different." Aunt Feng waved her hand, "If the Holy Majesty is dissatisfied, then everyone will suffer and no one will benefit."
Lu Siqiu nodded yes.
"The little embroiderer you mentioned is the one sitting outside?" Aunt Feng glanced at Su Wanru who was facing the door, Lu Siqiu nodded and said nothing.
Aunt Feng said quickly, "It looks like her skills are not bad, she is a good seedling." After she finished speaking, she shook her head again, "However, compared to you, it is still a bit worse, and your aunt really lacks some rules, even in terms of financial resources. She shouldn't be partial to a new girl."
Lu Siqiu didn't speak, her hands were clenched into fists and her eyes were cold. If it wasn't for Su Wanru, how would she have gotten to where she is today.
"Okay, don't be sad, you can eat wherever you have skills." Aunt Feng patted Lu Siqiu on the shoulder, and Lu Siqiu said in a low voice: "Auntie, I have a way that can fulfill your wish and make you happy." Get rid of her."
Aunt Feng frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Siqiu, don't mess around!"
"Don't worry, Auntie." Lu Siqiu replied, "Even if I made a mistake, you are still here, not to mention we will be able to go to the capital in a few days."
Aunt Feng's eyes moved, she stared at Lu Siqiu and patted her head, "Don't think about it, first finish what you have in hand, and go to the capital with my aunt at the end of the year."
Lu Siqiu nodded yes, his eyes showed the potential of breaking the boat
Qinghong entered the door.
She smiled with everyone and sat down in front of the embroidery frame. The sleeve on the right was stretched, and she was only halfway through embroidery, so she was in a hurry.
The embroiderers on both sides chased her and asked, "Is the weight of this silver thread a little too much?"
"Yeah, I think it would be more appropriate to put more gold thread. The last time the Holy Majesty went on a tour, we saw the dragon robe like this."
Qing Hong only felt a buzzing in her head, and she was weakly coping with them.
Before noon, Su Wanru thought of Zhao Yan!
"The umbrella, why don't you return it?" Su Wanru thought to herself, packed up her things and went back to her yard. The umbrella stayed quietly under the eaves. After thinking about it, she took the umbrella and greeted Jiao Zhenying, " …I borrowed an umbrella from someone else on Mid-Autumn Festival, and agreed to return it today.”
"Go early and come back early." Jiao Zhenying said, "Put on your veil, you'll be back after noon, I'll ask the kitchen to leave some food for you."
Su Wanru thanked her with a smile, and went out the door wearing a veiled hat and an umbrella.
It was the third time for Wan Qinglou to come, and she found the corner door with ease, and a young man who looked like a servant greeted her as soon as she entered, and asked, "Is it Miss Su?"
"Yes!" Su Wanru nodded, and the servant made a gesture of invitation, and led her into the lobby from behind, turned two corners along the narrow road, and entered a private room.
The room is very elegantly furnished, the melodious sound of the guqin wafts from a distance, and the pleasant scent of gardenia wafts out from the incense burner in the crane's beak. Zhao Yan is standing behind a desk. He is wearing a sky-blue dress. In a long robe, the black hair is scattered on the shoulders, and the bony fingers are holding the brush, a picture of a pastoral mountain dwelling is vivid on the paper.
Even though she was far away, she seemed to be able to smell the aroma of food wafting under the smoke from the farmhouse in the painting.
She was a little blessed in place.
"You're here." Zhao Yan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Sit down for a while and wait for me to finish this painting, okay?"
Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay!" Then she put down her umbrella and sat down beside her.
The servant served the tea, and the fragrance of the clouds wafted into the tip of her nose. She held the tea cup and smelled it, but she didn't drink it, and put it aside.
The room was quiet for a while, Zhao Yan was very devoted, Su Wanru waited for a moment and found a book in hand, and opened it casually, it turned out to be the travel notes of "Wangye Layman". There are six volumes in this book, and she read five volumes Well, she didn't read the sixth volume before it came out.
"Can I watch it?" She turned her head and asked Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Be more casual."
Su Wanru thanked her, then leaned on the chair in front of the window, held the book and read it carefully. This book is not printed, but a hand-copied version. The handwriting is beautiful and delicate, and it is hard to tell the difference between male and female, but it is indeed beautifully written.
Her calligraphy is also very good. The queen mother once said that if she were a man, she would be famous all over the world with her calligraphy and paintings alone.
But the handwriting on this manuscript is no worse than hers, or each has its own merits.
She turned her head and flipped through the pages, unknowingly time passed, and when she looked up halfway through a book, Zhao Yan just finished writing, looked at her with a calm smile, and said, "Young lady likes this book too." book?"
"Yes. I have read five books, but I have never read this one. Today is thanks to the lord." Su Wanru put the book down, "Here is the umbrella, thank you lord."
Zhao Yan washed his hands in the basin, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and came over with a pair of moiré shoes looming under his long robe. He took the book on the table and handed it to her, "If you like it, this I will lend you this book."
"No need." She waved her hand, "A gentleman does not take what others like. This book belongs to the prince, and my daughter dare not borrow it."
Zhao Yan smiled lightly, put the book in her hand, and said in a soft voice, "I copied this book, and I still have the original version with me. It doesn't hinder me to read it if you borrow it." After a pause, he said again: "If you are interested in the future, I can also recommend Layman Wang Ye for you."
Su Wanru's eyes lit up, Master Wang Ye was very mysterious, many people wanted to know him, but they rarely heard of him showing up, she couldn't help being a little curious, "Your Highness knows him?"
"A little bit of friendship." Zhao Yan nodded and handed her the teacup, "When he is ready to meet you, I'll invite you over, okay?"
Su Wanru didn't seem to have any reason to refuse, so she could only purse her lips and smile, and said, "Actually, I don't need any introductions. I can only know a few words, and I don't even know the whole story of Jiangnan. Mister probably doesn't bother to come to know me."
"You are fine." Zhao Yan asked her to sit down, and the two talked to each other. His slender fingers stroked the rim of the cup, and he looked at her with a pair of amber eyes with a smile, "I heard that you drew She has a superb charcoal drawing, and her embroidery skills are also extremely good."
Su Wanru raised her eyebrows, Zhao Yan didn't play charades with her, "Last night I went to Si Gong's mansion and saw his small portrait on the table."
It turns out that if you want it, I can embroider it for you if you want it, Su Wanru thought about it, then smiled slightly, and said: "The prince praised it, it's just a small skill."
"Humble." Zhao Yan asked, "Is food available?"
Su Wanru really didn't eat, but she didn't want to be with Zhao Yan, they were not familiar with it yet, "Eat, I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I have to go back."
"Okay." Zhao Yan didn't leave her behind, got up with her, and walked out to see her off, "Is it strange to see me yesterday? We met at the Confucius Temple on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why did the company go to the pier the next day?" Received me?"
Su Wanru glanced sideways at him for a moment, he smiled lightly, and said, "Actually, I wanted to secretly come here to familiarize myself with the terrain, but I was afraid that after I came, I would be sold out if I didn't know the terrain well."
"Ah?" Su Wanru paused, then laughed, and covered her face and said, "Dignified Prince Ning, whoever has the guts to betray him will be admired by all the people in the world."
Zhao Yan stopped, his eyes fell on her face, "It's a smile. I thought the girl was afraid of me, so I showed my guard..." He said again: "Go back, it's not easy to do things outside, if you ask you to embroider The boss found out that you sabotage and punished you, but it was my fault."
Su Wanru almost sighed, this person thought of every aspect of his speech, his voice was soft and soft, without any aggressiveness, it made people feel like a spring breeze, appropriate and comfortable...
Didn't it mean that the early years were not good? Why do you have such a character?
Will such a person do anything for their rights?
"Then...thank you for borrowing the book, my lord." She waved the book, "After reading it, come here to find you again?"
Zhao Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes. Then at noon three days later, shall we meet here again?"
"Okay." Su Wanru nodded and was sent out by Zhao Yanxiang.
When the courtyard door was closed, Zhao Yan stood at the door with a smile on her face and watched her, Su Wanru walked away quickly.
Zhao Yan smiled lightly and shook his head, his personal guard came up and said: "My lord, the spies are here to report that the Marquis of Zhennan is resting in the inn in Changzhou at the moment, look..."
"Since we are going to Songjiang, we should come back in the next few days." Zhao Yan went back slowly, looked at the painting he had just finished in front of the table, and remembered something, and said: "His dark guards are still protecting Su embroidery. Mother?"
The guard nodded, and replied: "This woman is quite strange, not only the secret guards of the Marquis of Zhennan are guarding outside Jinxiufang, but even the Marquis of Jiangyin's mansion also sent people to guard the door."
"It's very strange." Ning Wang thought of Su Wanru's performance, "It's quite interesting."
It's fine when she doesn't know his identity, but after she knows it, although she is respectful, the expression she inadvertently reveals is not half-subtle, as if she is not a little embroiderer, but a princess with a good background.
Princess?Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows, and asked endlessly, "...Did you find out the whereabouts?"
"No. He completely disappeared in Pingjiang Mansion."
Zhao Yan nodded and said nothing.
Su Wanru put the book back, read it for a while after lunch, and then went to the library, because Lu Siqiu and Hu Qiongyue were there, she really didn't want to stay there for another quarter of an hour.
After work, Cai Xuan and Zhou Huaijuan came to her together, Cai Xuan looked curious, "Is the dragon robe in that room? of?"
"It should be there, but I didn't see it either." Su Wanru pulled Cai Xuan away, "Don't go in and look, if you touch it and destroy it, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
Cai Xuan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I'm not stupid, how could I touch that thing."
"Zhou Huaijuan. Let's go!" Su Wanru took one of them out of the Jinxiu Pavilion, and the three of them had dinner together. Su Wanru went back to read the book, but in fact, there was only half of it left, and she finished reading it in a while. After putting the book away, she lay on the bed , inexplicably thought of Shen Zhan.
"Su Jin." Outside, Shao Juan knocked on the door, and Su Wanru opened the door and asked, "Sister Shao is looking for me, come in and sit down."
Shao Juan waved her hand and replied, "Aunt Feng said just now that the things in the Jinxiu Pavilion are too expensive, and we will send people to take turns to guard them every night from now on."
"Are we?" Su Wanru was very surprised. There are women in Jinxiufang, and they don't have to do anything except embroider.
Shao Juan nodded in disgust, and said with a suppressed voice: "Aunt Feng brought it up, saying that the mother-in-law doesn't understand anything. If she touches the embroidery clumsily, it will be like a cat's paw. The thread is scratched."
"Then who is on duty tonight?" Su Wanru sneered, thinking that this Aunt Feng is too good at coming, and she has tossed so many things in just one day, if Duan Zhang does not stop, the owner of Jinxiufang should be Aunt Feng alone Done.
"Qinghong and Sanniang." Shao Juan said helplessly, "It will be your turn in a day or two."
After Shao Juan finished speaking, she left, and Su Wanru closed the door to sleep.
On the second day of work, it was Shao Juan and Jiang Ye's sisters in the evening, and on the third night, it was her and Lu Siqiu's turn.
Su Wanru was also stunned when she knew it, Liu Sanniang pulled her and said in a low voice: "I'll take care of you tonight, so as not to cause any further troubles."
"Aunt Feng is watching." Su Wanru sighed, "If I don't show up, she might think that I have no rules. What's more, you are the head of the embroidery, so why don't I come, you help me the most valuable reason."
Liu Sanniang felt that what she said made sense, "...it's a bit too deliberate, so be careful."
"I know." Su Wanru said, "I try not to conflict with her."
Liu Sanniang ordered, and went to the cafeteria to have dinner with her. Jiao Zhenying also knew about it, "Why did Aunt Feng personally arrange for you to stay on duty with her?"
"It looks like it is." Su Wanru felt strange, and said with a smile: "Soldiers come to cover the water and earth!"
Liu Sanniang and Jiao Zhenying couldn't think of the reason, Jiao Zhenying said: "We don't care what she thinks, but you have to remember one thing, don't fight her. I heard that she will go to the capital with Aunt Feng next year, so avoid it if you can. There's no need to quarrel with this kind of person."
"I see." Su Wanru agreed, went back to wash up, took some snacks and went to the Jinxiu Hall, lit the lamp and did things quietly by herself, the place was very quiet, Lu Siqiu was not there.
Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Lu Siqiu would not show up.
It's not that she's afraid, on the contrary, what she did in a sneaky way, she will definitely avenge this hatred before she leaves Jinxiufang.
When the time was near, Lu Siqiu came in alone with a lantern. Seeing Su Wanru, she smiled strangely and said, "I heard that you embroidered the snow scene of Yanjing?"
Su Wanru glanced at her, but ignored her.
"Sure enough, it's different from when I first came here." Lu Siqiu sat down opposite her, resting his chin, "I still remember that when you first came here, you flattered me every day, but now that you have climbed a tall branch, do you think my tree is too short?"
Su Wanru smiled, and said: "I don't know anything else, Lu Xiuchang is good at sticking gold." Then she said: "The embroidery chief deliberately persuaded Aunt Feng to send someone to be on duty at night, and let you and I be on duty together. I didn't know and sang again." Where is the play?"
Lu Siqiu smiled lightly, with gloomy eyes, "You're so smart, why don't you guess it yourself."
"Did you come up with a good idea?" Everyone had already torn their faces, so there was no need to hide them. Su Wanru looked around and said, "Another man is hiding here? If you are not afraid of being like Lin Qiuyue, just go ahead." It's done."
Thinking of Lin Qiuyue, Lu Siqiu's expression changed, and he snorted coldly, "Sooner or later, everyone will know your true face."
"This is planning to leave Yingtian, so there are no scruples?" Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "I never thought that Aunt Feng and you still have such a relationship."
Lu Siqiu laughed, "I have been in Jinxiufang for so many years, how can I be compared to you, a little embroiderer?"
"That's right." Su Wanru nodded, "However, no matter what you want to do, you should think it through carefully. You never hurt me a few times before."
"Who do you think you are." Her tone is really annoying. Who does she think she is, why should she put on a lofty and noble virtue? Lu Siqiu was furious, and shouted: "You think I'm afraid You. The previous few times I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but this time it is different."
Su Wanru showed a look of astonishment, and said, "Are you planning to die with me?" She shook her head as she spoke, "I'm afraid you dare not cherish your life."
"You!" Lu Siqiu looked desperate, and shouted: "Su Jin, I want you to know what it means to be hard to argue with!"
She said, got up and pushed open the door of Qinghong's room, tore off the dragon robe hanging on the hanger, stood at the door and gritted her teeth: "Guess what I will do."
"Lu Siqiu." Su Wanru's face darkened, "Think about it, ruining the dragon robe is not only ruining Qinghong's effort, Jinxiuguan's effort... This is contempt for the royal family, you will be imprisoned and beheaded."
"I know." Lu Siqiu said, "But it's not me who was beheaded in jail...it was you."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her clothes high, and at some point there was a pair of scissors in her hands. She smiled and stared at Su Wanru, "If you behead your head, I will definitely go and watch."
When the scissors went down, Su Wanru couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat.
"You're crazy." Su Wanru didn't expect Lu Siqiu to do this. After all, dragon robes are not a trivial matter. If Zhao Zhiang pursues it, everyone in Jinxiu Workshop will lose their lives, "Give it to me."
With a click, Lu Siqiu raised his brows and laughed excitedly. He lost his dragon robe and grabbed the scissors, "Don't be afraid, there are more terrifying things."
As she spoke, the scissors pierced her arm, and the blood flowed continuously.
"Tell me, wait for people to come, what will they think when they see the scene in front of them." She said, people ran out, shouting as they ran, "Come on, help, Su Jin has gone crazy."
(End of this chapter)
Three private rooms are reserved in Wan Qing Building, so it is naturally impossible for Su Wanru to sit with the noble King Ning and Han Jiangyi and others.
She thought of Shen Zhan, who said he would not welcome King Ning before, but he really didn't show up, not even Du Shizi of the Marquis of Jiangyin.
Was it on purpose, or did something happen?
"This person..." Su Wanru took a sip of the fruit wine, looked at the table and didn't have any appetite, she rested her chin in a daze, "Prince Ning is so liked by Zhao Zhiang, and he is so popular, the prince should be very nervous, right?"
Zhao Zhiang seems to be a few years older than his father, so he must be around sixty this year.
She has heard about the prince, because when he was born, Zhao Zhiang fought all day long. He was captured several times along with his mother, and the prison cells were changed several times. He suffered a lot, not only in poor health, but also in character. Some cowardly and timid.
In addition, among Zhao Zhiang's sons, the four princes and the seventh princes who followed him in battle were better. These two are brave and good at fighting, and the other is resourceful and decisive. They are Zhao Zhiang's right-hand men.
In the early years when Shen Zhan did not seek refuge, half of Zhao Zhiang's world could not do without these two.
As for King Ning, this is the first time she has heard of it, and she really doesn't understand it.
But looking at this person today, he doesn't look like a stupid person, otherwise he wouldn't be the first prince with a title.
Will someone be dissatisfied?Everyone wants to be the king of the world, right?
The fourth prince and the seventh prince have made countless contributions, and in the end, like a person who appeared halfway, they will not be reconciled to being a prince and getting a few acres of land for rent.
The more she thought about it, the brighter her eyes became.
The little grandson, the crown prince, King Ning, Shen Zhan...
"If the second brother wants to take revenge and regain the world of the Later Song Dynasty, he must not rely on his own ability alone. Let them make trouble within themselves first!" She was a little excited, drinking sips of wine without noticing, "Assassination! If you can't kill King Ning, it's good to scare him. He will definitely think that one of his brothers did it, no matter who he thinks, if he bury the wire, it will burn one day."
She was thinking about the future, sitting quietly in the corner alone, Liu Sanniang pulled her clothes, and said in a low voice: "I thought of something, my face is red, and my eyes are shining."
"Thinking wildly." Su Wanru regained her composure, and said with a smile: "When I have money, I will build a yard facing the sea, enjoy the sun every day, and do what I like."
Liu Sanniang was taken aback when she heard the words, she seemed to think that her idea was very good, "Where is the sea, are you going to Fujian?"
"Yeah." Su Wanru nodded and said with a smile, "I've seen it on the territory map. After passing through Fujian, there is a Fragrant Island on the opposite side. It's small, but it has everything. It's very suitable for people to live in."
Like Hong Kong, there is a pier extending in all directions, how can she make life prosperous.
"You think so far." Liu Sanniang laughed, clinked glasses with her, and said sincerely: "I hope your dream will come true."
Su Wanru laughed. Whether she can come true depends on what he intends to do after rescuing Su Ji.
This meal is really just eating, and they will come back when they are full. When they are about to arrive at Jinxiufang, Su Wanru thought about it and said to Liu Sanniang quietly: "I'm going to buy something, and I'll be back in half an hour. If anyone asks, you can Just say you don’t know.”
Liu Sanniang didn't ask any more questions, she nodded and said, "Be careful."
Su Wanru walked two streets, and still found the two women from the day before yesterday. She stood at the street corner for a while, then turned back a little discouraged.
"I won't go." She said a little angrily: "Mind his business, I'm really too busy to panic." She returned to Jinxiufang with a mutter, and the two women were squatting at the entrance of Jinxiufang, and they didn't shy away from it , just watching her enter the door so blatantly.
Shen Zhan went out early in the morning and agreed to go to Songjiang with Du Zhao to see a blacksmith, but when Du Zhao appeared in a carriage, he apologized in embarrassment. I really dare not ride a horse to blow the wind, and ask Lord Hou to make amends."
He said again: "However, the four horses pulling the cart are all excellent horses, and they will never delay your journey, Lord Marquis."
"Your body is important." Shen Zhan didn't care, "There's no need to hurry, we just need to slow down."
Du Zhao was very grateful after hearing this.
The two got on the horse and the other into the carriage, and each brought two attendants. Min Wang went to do some packing first, and they were on the road just after dawn.
As soon as Du Zhao sat firmly, the boy who had been sitting on the shaft of the car with his head bowed all the time shrank towards the car door with his sleeves folded. Du Zhao coughed and said, "Liu Li, the tea I asked you to bring is here. Come in and make some tea. A pot, send it to Lord Hou when you rest your feet."
"Yes!" Liuli Hammer should have climbed into the car, and as soon as he got in, Du Zhao exclaimed, "You... nonsense!"
He was furious, brushed away the glass round felt, and shouted: "A Yuan, how could you do such a thing," and ordered the driver outside: "Stop on the side of the road, I'll go and complain to Lord Hou, you will Send it back, miss."
"Brother, brother." Du Yuan begged for mercy, hugging Du Zhao's arm, "Brother, don't drive me back after I've come out. I swear, I will pretend to be a servant and never let Lord Hou find out. Let others find out."
How can Du Zhao follow her temperament? This is going out to do errands, and she is with Shen Zhan, "You forgot what happened last time. You went home and cried for several days. If something happens again this time, you will Do you want to be a human again?" He said again: "Don't make trouble with me, I won't agree, go back quickly."
Du Yuan's eyes turned red immediately, and he burst into tears, "Do you think I did it on purpose? I just wanted to do my best because I saw you and your father working so hard to plan for the family. I am married to Lord Hou, and with his full support, our family will definitely be better."
"Shut up." Du Zhao felt sad and embarrassed, "How can you say such a thing like a girl."
Du Yuan cried and said: "Why can't I say such a thing. We are all members of the Du family. I can see that you are doing your best for the family. Although I am a woman, I can't be worse than you. Brother, you Just let me go, I will be obedient and never mess around."
Du Zhao's eyes turned red when he heard that.
The Du family is not like the Han family. It has been operating at the seams for hundreds of years. It is God's will that they lost their bet this time. But relying on their ability, they will definitely be able to turn around in a few years. But they are different. They are scholars and belonged to their ancestors The rule is to be a person according to one's duty, and you must not go with the market and corrupt the style of the family.
Therefore, now that the imperial court is newly established, they want to have a place, but there is no one to help them, and every step is extremely difficult.
It is guaranteed that after two years, when the court is settled down, the Holy Majesty will seize the title, and they, the Marquis of Jiangyin, will definitely bear the brunt of it.
"No." Du Zhao waved his hands, "Even if we live on the street to beg, we can't sell our daughters for glory and let your dignified Miss Du's family do this kind of low-class thing."
Du Yuan cried louder, humming, shaking his head, "If I don't leave, I won't leave."
"Keep your voice down." Du Zhao was in a hurry. Shen Zhan might have heard her crying, "Don't disturb Lord Hou."
After he finished speaking, the car had already stopped, and Shen Zhan teased through the car door: "Yan Qiu brought a female family?"
"Master Hou." Du Zhao blushed suddenly, hurriedly asked Du Yuan to put on his hat, lifted the curtain and got out of the car, and replied, "Master Hou laughed, Yan Qiu..." He planned to admit it, but it was better than letting him Shen Zhan knew that his sister wanted to marry him wholeheartedly, so she didn't even want a woman's courtesy, justice and shame.
"Yan Qiu is rude." He was so ashamed that he bowed to Shen Zhan, and the curtain of the unflattened car opened, and Du Yuan came out with his hair covered, "Master Hou, don't blame my brother, I insisted on coming along. of."
Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows and took a look at Du Yuan.
"A Yuan!" Du Zhao was angry and angry, but Du Yuan made up his mind to ignore Du Zhao, stared at Shen Zhan, and said: "A Yuan is playful, knowing that my brother is going out to work with Lord Hou, so he secretly Came here pretending to be a servant, if you want to blame Hou Ye, you can blame me."
Shen Zhan didn't remember what Du Yuan looked like, but he remembered what happened in Si Sanbao's residence. He nodded at Du Yuan with the tip of his nose after listening, and looked impatiently at Du Zhao, "You can settle your affairs yourself. I'll wait for you at the front inn for half a day."
Du Zhao was very grateful, "Thank you, Lord Hou, thank you, Lord Hou."
Du Yuan was dumbfounded. There were so many people last time and she was very embarrassed. Shen Zhan was impatient with her. Although she felt ashamed afterwards, she could understand, but today...how could Shen Zhan have such an attitude?
She thinks she has good looks, is pretty and cute, and has a good family background, not to mention that his brother is still here, Shen Zhan must give some face.
He is so unlike a high-ranking, powerful and self-cultivated Lord Hou.
"Master Hou!" Unconvinced, Du Yuan jumped out of the car, looked at Shen Zhan with his hips on his hips, "I want to have a few words with you."
Shen Zhan frowned, and his face darkened. Du Zhao was terrified, pulled his sister and shouted: "What are you messing around with?" Shen Zhan is not an ordinary person. Hooligans.
But Du Yuan didn't know that for so many years, she had never met someone like Shen Zhan. Normally, whether it was with her elder brother or aunts and aunts and aunts, they all obeyed and pampered her, so she was not convinced!
"Say what." Shen Zhan pointed his chin at her, ready to give Du Zhao face, "Say it."
He didn't intend to get off his horse, and he didn't intend to be like a romantic scholar, show off his own demeanor with the beauty, Du Yuan was stunned again, looked at his brother, summoned up his courage, and said: "Master Hou Do you like women?"
Shen Zhan raised his eyebrows, and Du Yuan said again: "It is said that Lord Hou has raised many subordinates in the yard. Does Lord Hou not like women?"
"A Yuan!" Du Zhao wanted to slap his younger sister unconscious. The girl could say anything, "Shut up."
Du Yuan didn't want to, and looked up at Shen Zhan, "The beauties given by others, you not only didn't move, but also gave Si Sanbao another one. Does the Marquis not like women?"
"Need to explain to you?" Shen Zhan immediately lost his patience, waving his hands as if to chase away flies, "Hurry up, hurry up."
Du Yuan's face turned pale, and Du Zhao immediately pulled his younger sister to leave. Du Yuan forced him to ask, "Master Hou didn't deny it, did he admit it?"
"You talk a lot of nonsense." Shen Zhan looked at Du Zhao angrily, "Where did you come from? Tell him, I like men or women."
Du Zhao was sweating profusely, and replied, "Master Hou likes women."
"Did you hear that?" Shen Zhan was so annoyed, and he didn't want to fight with a little girl. He was in a bad mood today.That little white-eyed wolf knew that he was going to look for her at night, and he came back so late, and he didn't realize it at all.
He was waiting for her in the room like a resentful woman, so mad at her!
When he finishes his work and goes back, he must take good care of her.
Du Yuan chased after him, "Master Hou, you always want to marry a wife and have children, then you can marry me, I can do it, and I can give you many concubines, I guarantee you will be satisfied."
Shen Zhan looked at her like a lunatic, and Su Wanru couldn't help but appear in front of him...
The little white-eyed wolf would definitely not say such stupid things. It is estimated that when they get married in the future, if he takes one more look at the woman, she will tear out his eyeballs.
Thinking of this, he laughed sullenly, the little white-eyed wolf is still smart.
He looked at Du Zhao, "I'll wait for you in front." After saying that, he left.
"Let's go." Du Zhao pulled Du Yuan helplessly, and said in a low voice, "Don't think about it anymore. It's not that it's not that the Marquis doesn't like women, but..."
Du Yuan was taken aback, and said curiously: "What is it, brother, tell me quickly."
"I heard that Master Hou has a girl in his heart." Du Zhao pulled his sister into the car to distract her, "Don't think about these things anymore, stay at home, your brother will plan for you of."
Du Yuan rolled his eyes, "You said Lord Hou has someone he likes in his heart?" She thought of Shen Zhan's people, who don't pay attention to any women, what would it be like if he really liked someone.
As she was thinking, Du Zhao immediately winked at the boy driving the carriage, and ordered in a low voice: "No matter how noisy she is, don't let her go."
The young man should be, patting his horse and rushing back to Yingtian, Du Yuan didn't make a fuss, just sat quietly in the car, and went all the way back to Yingtian.
At this moment, in the Jiangyin Marquis Mansion, Han Jiangyi came back from the outside, and he seemed to be in a pretty good mood. He washed and changed his clothes, and just sat down to drink tea. Han Zhengying knocked on the door and came in, smiling: "Brother, you are in a good mood?"
"It's not bad." Han Jiangyi poured tea for his sister, "Why are you here, but something happened."
Han Zhengying took a seat opposite and asked, "Brother went out to meet King Ning the day before yesterday, how was it?"
"Prince Ning is more approachable than we thought." Han Jiangyi told Han Zhengying what happened in the past two days, deliberately speaking in detail, to make Han Zhengying interested, "...there is a little servant who is not careful I knocked over the tea cup and splashed it on King Ning's robe, I thought he would be angry, but he just smiled and comforted the servant not to be afraid."
Han Zhengying listened carefully and asked, "Have you ever talked about the situation in the capital?"
Han Jiangyi was a little disappointed that he didn't ask about King Ning's personal situation, but then he felt that he was thinking too much. They were wishful thinking, and King Ning didn't know what to think. Positive."
Han Zhengying nodded slightly, not knowing what he was thinking, and asked again: "Marquis of Zhennan, you really haven't gone?"
"No. He's out on errands, and he won't be back until a few days later." Han Jiangyi replied: "My lord has sent a name card, and I guess they will meet when Lord Hou comes back."
Han Zhengying nodded, and said goodbye to Han Jiangyi a few more times.
"Miss." The woman next to her greeted her, and replied in a low voice: "I told Miss Du's mother-in-law a strange thing. It means that she didn't see Miss Du go out, but she came back from outside at noon. gone."
"Whose car did you take?" Han Zhengying sat down on the Fulang, looking at the clusters of chrysanthemums blooming in the garden, his expression was erratic, and the mother-in-law replied: "I came back in Du Shizi's car. There must be no one." Wrong, four good horse-drawn carts, go very fast."
"Oh?" Han Zhengying raised his eyebrows, "Has Du Yanqiu gone out? With whom?"
The mother-in-law whispered something in her ear, and Han Zhengying sneered, and said, "...she has always been playful, so she must have followed Du Yanqiu out secretly, and was turned back halfway."
"It should be." The mother-in-law didn't object. Their young ladies are always smart, and their guesses are almost inseparable.
Han Zhengying sat for a while, got up and walked sideways and said, "The Marquis of Zhennan is not an ordinary person, so don't worry about Du Yuan for now...we will visit her after she hits the south wall."
"Where is Miss Su Xiu, what have you been doing these days?" Han Zhengying asked.
The mother-in-law replied: "Since she found out that we sent people to follow her, she seems to seldom go out. I came back from dinner at Wanqing Building yesterday. She must have planned to go somewhere. When she found out that we were following her, she turned back. .”
"She's very smart." Han Zhengying was sure that there was something going on between Shen Zhan and Su Wanru, but she couldn't figure out why Shen Zhan was sneaky and didn't take her back. "Be careful, no matter what you do. You have to come and tell me ahead of time."
The mother-in-law should be, and said cautiously: "What happened last time... Miss, don't you plan to do anything else in the future?"
"Don't move for the time being." Han Zhengying chuckled lightly, "She's too smart, some small fights won't move her at all. Instead of doing this, it's better to stay still."
Su Wanru is very busy, and she doesn't care about what other people are doing. She was invited to the Jinxiu Hall early in the morning by the new Aunt Feng. There are more, and they are also older. As soon as she entered the door, she saw Hu Qiongyue sitting at a corner, doing something quietly.
"Come here, all." Aunt Feng was very careless about her business, "From today onwards, you are all working here. The upstairs and downstairs have been arranged, and there are seats for you. Did you hear that?"
Liu Sanniang frowned, and followed Fu Fu Ying.
"You don't care about the affairs?" Qing Hong was furious. The room where she worked was originally for one person, but now four people sat in it, staring at her like guards and prisoners, asking questions for a while. Asking that, just for a short while, she was almost bored to death.
"Si Gong said let them make trouble." Liu Sanniang replied with a suppressed voice: "When the trouble comes out, we will drive them away."
Qing Hong curled her lips and said nothing.
Su Wanru stood behind the others and didn't move. After a while, she was arranged to sit on the embroidery stand on the first floor like everyone else. She brought all the drafts, set up the embroidery stand, took the needles and threads, and ignored everything else. People, concentrate on doing things.
She wants to enter the Moon Tower, the embroidery this time is the key, if she does it well, even if Director Duan doesn't have the idea of taking her into the Moon Tower, she still has a way to make Director Duan think about it.
"Siqiu." Aunt Feng called to Lu Siqiu, "Did you bring your needle and thread, please stay in Qinghong Room, just talk to me."
Lu Siqiu took a little girl to carry the embroidery frame, and answered with a smile, followed Aunt Feng to Qinghong's room.
The door was open, and Su Wanru saw a wenge hanger inside. On the rack was a bright yellow dragon robe with no sleeves. The dragon on the robe had already been embroidered. Even if she was so far away, she could feel the The luxury and grandeur of the clothes.
Qinghong's workmanship is really good, and it should look even better when the sleeves on both sides are finished.
It's just a pity that the person wearing it is Zhao Zhiang.
Su Wanru looked away, she didn't want to see this dress at all.
Qing Hong looked at the noisy place, it used to be her work room, but now she looked like an outsider, with nowhere to go, she stood at the door for a while, and said with a smile: "Aunt Feng, I have something to do, I'll be here in a while, you guys talk first."
She didn't care whether the other party agreed or not, she turned around and went to find Aunt Wang. Aunt Wang was very helpless, "There is nothing I can do about it, let alone you and me. You go back to work first, and when the in charge comes back later, I will talk about it." .”
"It doesn't matter what they do, you can do your own thing well, you know."
Qinghong had no choice but to go back.
In the past two days, Lu Siqiu felt that the dark clouds above her head had finally dispersed, and she had a sense of transparency... Aunt Feng agreed to take her with her when she returned to Beijing.
In the future, she will stay in the capital and never return to this place.
She stood up and looked at the semi-finished dragon robe hanging behind her with envious eyes... After all, Qinghong is still the most beautiful in Jinxiufang, and most of them embroider decorations for the empress's personal use, only Qinghong But the embroidered dragon robe.
What an honor.
She looked carefully. Seeing her like this, Aunt Feng explained: "Actually, there is no difference in needlework. The difficulty lies in the division of threads and color matching. When to use gold thread and when to use silver thread, and how to distinguish the dragon." The momentum cannot reveal frivolity."
"It's not easy. My aunt will teach you in detail later."
Lu Siqiu took it for granted, eyes full of envy, "Auntie, if you embroider it yourself, it must be better than this?"
"That's natural. Back then, your mother and I were incomparable in craftsmanship. Especially your mother, if it wasn't for the eyes..." Aunt Feng showed disdain, "This time, the company was the first to bring the dragon robe here. She waved her hand in the middle of her speech, not wanting to say anymore, "It's all a foregone conclusion, if we talk too much, we will look petty. "
Lu Siqiu's eyes lit up, he looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I think there are still sleeves and belts that are not finished, why don't aunt take them and make them yourself."
"The acupuncture methods are different." Aunt Feng waved her hand, "If the Holy Majesty is dissatisfied, then everyone will suffer and no one will benefit."
Lu Siqiu nodded yes.
"The little embroiderer you mentioned is the one sitting outside?" Aunt Feng glanced at Su Wanru who was facing the door, Lu Siqiu nodded and said nothing.
Aunt Feng said quickly, "It looks like her skills are not bad, she is a good seedling." After she finished speaking, she shook her head again, "However, compared to you, it is still a bit worse, and your aunt really lacks some rules, even in terms of financial resources. She shouldn't be partial to a new girl."
Lu Siqiu didn't speak, her hands were clenched into fists and her eyes were cold. If it wasn't for Su Wanru, how would she have gotten to where she is today.
"Okay, don't be sad, you can eat wherever you have skills." Aunt Feng patted Lu Siqiu on the shoulder, and Lu Siqiu said in a low voice: "Auntie, I have a way that can fulfill your wish and make you happy." Get rid of her."
Aunt Feng frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Siqiu, don't mess around!"
"Don't worry, Auntie." Lu Siqiu replied, "Even if I made a mistake, you are still here, not to mention we will be able to go to the capital in a few days."
Aunt Feng's eyes moved, she stared at Lu Siqiu and patted her head, "Don't think about it, first finish what you have in hand, and go to the capital with my aunt at the end of the year."
Lu Siqiu nodded yes, his eyes showed the potential of breaking the boat
Qinghong entered the door.
She smiled with everyone and sat down in front of the embroidery frame. The sleeve on the right was stretched, and she was only halfway through embroidery, so she was in a hurry.
The embroiderers on both sides chased her and asked, "Is the weight of this silver thread a little too much?"
"Yeah, I think it would be more appropriate to put more gold thread. The last time the Holy Majesty went on a tour, we saw the dragon robe like this."
Qing Hong only felt a buzzing in her head, and she was weakly coping with them.
Before noon, Su Wanru thought of Zhao Yan!
"The umbrella, why don't you return it?" Su Wanru thought to herself, packed up her things and went back to her yard. The umbrella stayed quietly under the eaves. After thinking about it, she took the umbrella and greeted Jiao Zhenying, " …I borrowed an umbrella from someone else on Mid-Autumn Festival, and agreed to return it today.”
"Go early and come back early." Jiao Zhenying said, "Put on your veil, you'll be back after noon, I'll ask the kitchen to leave some food for you."
Su Wanru thanked her with a smile, and went out the door wearing a veiled hat and an umbrella.
It was the third time for Wan Qinglou to come, and she found the corner door with ease, and a young man who looked like a servant greeted her as soon as she entered, and asked, "Is it Miss Su?"
"Yes!" Su Wanru nodded, and the servant made a gesture of invitation, and led her into the lobby from behind, turned two corners along the narrow road, and entered a private room.
The room is very elegantly furnished, the melodious sound of the guqin wafts from a distance, and the pleasant scent of gardenia wafts out from the incense burner in the crane's beak. Zhao Yan is standing behind a desk. He is wearing a sky-blue dress. In a long robe, the black hair is scattered on the shoulders, and the bony fingers are holding the brush, a picture of a pastoral mountain dwelling is vivid on the paper.
Even though she was far away, she seemed to be able to smell the aroma of food wafting under the smoke from the farmhouse in the painting.
She was a little blessed in place.
"You're here." Zhao Yan raised his eyes and looked at her, "Sit down for a while and wait for me to finish this painting, okay?"
Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay!" Then she put down her umbrella and sat down beside her.
The servant served the tea, and the fragrance of the clouds wafted into the tip of her nose. She held the tea cup and smelled it, but she didn't drink it, and put it aside.
The room was quiet for a while, Zhao Yan was very devoted, Su Wanru waited for a moment and found a book in hand, and opened it casually, it turned out to be the travel notes of "Wangye Layman". There are six volumes in this book, and she read five volumes Well, she didn't read the sixth volume before it came out.
"Can I watch it?" She turned her head and asked Zhao Yan, Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows and nodded, "Be more casual."
Su Wanru thanked her, then leaned on the chair in front of the window, held the book and read it carefully. This book is not printed, but a hand-copied version. The handwriting is beautiful and delicate, and it is hard to tell the difference between male and female, but it is indeed beautifully written.
Her calligraphy is also very good. The queen mother once said that if she were a man, she would be famous all over the world with her calligraphy and paintings alone.
But the handwriting on this manuscript is no worse than hers, or each has its own merits.
She turned her head and flipped through the pages, unknowingly time passed, and when she looked up halfway through a book, Zhao Yan just finished writing, looked at her with a calm smile, and said, "Young lady likes this book too." book?"
"Yes. I have read five books, but I have never read this one. Today is thanks to the lord." Su Wanru put the book down, "Here is the umbrella, thank you lord."
Zhao Yan washed his hands in the basin, wiped his fingers with a handkerchief, and came over with a pair of moiré shoes looming under his long robe. He took the book on the table and handed it to her, "If you like it, this I will lend you this book."
"No need." She waved her hand, "A gentleman does not take what others like. This book belongs to the prince, and my daughter dare not borrow it."
Zhao Yan smiled lightly, put the book in her hand, and said in a soft voice, "I copied this book, and I still have the original version with me. It doesn't hinder me to read it if you borrow it." After a pause, he said again: "If you are interested in the future, I can also recommend Layman Wang Ye for you."
Su Wanru's eyes lit up, Master Wang Ye was very mysterious, many people wanted to know him, but they rarely heard of him showing up, she couldn't help being a little curious, "Your Highness knows him?"
"A little bit of friendship." Zhao Yan nodded and handed her the teacup, "When he is ready to meet you, I'll invite you over, okay?"
Su Wanru didn't seem to have any reason to refuse, so she could only purse her lips and smile, and said, "Actually, I don't need any introductions. I can only know a few words, and I don't even know the whole story of Jiangnan. Mister probably doesn't bother to come to know me."
"You are fine." Zhao Yan asked her to sit down, and the two talked to each other. His slender fingers stroked the rim of the cup, and he looked at her with a pair of amber eyes with a smile, "I heard that you drew She has a superb charcoal drawing, and her embroidery skills are also extremely good."
Su Wanru raised her eyebrows, Zhao Yan didn't play charades with her, "Last night I went to Si Gong's mansion and saw his small portrait on the table."
It turns out that if you want it, I can embroider it for you if you want it, Su Wanru thought about it, then smiled slightly, and said: "The prince praised it, it's just a small skill."
"Humble." Zhao Yan asked, "Is food available?"
Su Wanru really didn't eat, but she didn't want to be with Zhao Yan, they were not familiar with it yet, "Eat, I have to go to work in the afternoon, so I have to go back."
"Okay." Zhao Yan didn't leave her behind, got up with her, and walked out to see her off, "Is it strange to see me yesterday? We met at the Confucius Temple on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival. Why did the company go to the pier the next day?" Received me?"
Su Wanru glanced sideways at him for a moment, he smiled lightly, and said, "Actually, I wanted to secretly come here to familiarize myself with the terrain, but I was afraid that after I came, I would be sold out if I didn't know the terrain well."
"Ah?" Su Wanru paused, then laughed, and covered her face and said, "Dignified Prince Ning, whoever has the guts to betray him will be admired by all the people in the world."
Zhao Yan stopped, his eyes fell on her face, "It's a smile. I thought the girl was afraid of me, so I showed my guard..." He said again: "Go back, it's not easy to do things outside, if you ask you to embroider The boss found out that you sabotage and punished you, but it was my fault."
Su Wanru almost sighed, this person thought of every aspect of his speech, his voice was soft and soft, without any aggressiveness, it made people feel like a spring breeze, appropriate and comfortable...
Didn't it mean that the early years were not good? Why do you have such a character?
Will such a person do anything for their rights?
"Then...thank you for borrowing the book, my lord." She waved the book, "After reading it, come here to find you again?"
Zhao Yan tilted his head and thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Yes. Then at noon three days later, shall we meet here again?"
"Okay." Su Wanru nodded and was sent out by Zhao Yanxiang.
When the courtyard door was closed, Zhao Yan stood at the door with a smile on her face and watched her, Su Wanru walked away quickly.
Zhao Yan smiled lightly and shook his head, his personal guard came up and said: "My lord, the spies are here to report that the Marquis of Zhennan is resting in the inn in Changzhou at the moment, look..."
"Since we are going to Songjiang, we should come back in the next few days." Zhao Yan went back slowly, looked at the painting he had just finished in front of the table, and remembered something, and said: "His dark guards are still protecting Su embroidery. Mother?"
The guard nodded, and replied: "This woman is quite strange, not only the secret guards of the Marquis of Zhennan are guarding outside Jinxiufang, but even the Marquis of Jiangyin's mansion also sent people to guard the door."
"It's very strange." Ning Wang thought of Su Wanru's performance, "It's quite interesting."
It's fine when she doesn't know his identity, but after she knows it, although she is respectful, the expression she inadvertently reveals is not half-subtle, as if she is not a little embroiderer, but a princess with a good background.
Princess?Zhao Yan raised his eyebrows, and asked endlessly, "...Did you find out the whereabouts?"
"No. He completely disappeared in Pingjiang Mansion."
Zhao Yan nodded and said nothing.
Su Wanru put the book back, read it for a while after lunch, and then went to the library, because Lu Siqiu and Hu Qiongyue were there, she really didn't want to stay there for another quarter of an hour.
After work, Cai Xuan and Zhou Huaijuan came to her together, Cai Xuan looked curious, "Is the dragon robe in that room? of?"
"It should be there, but I didn't see it either." Su Wanru pulled Cai Xuan away, "Don't go in and look, if you touch it and destroy it, you won't be able to bear the responsibility."
Cai Xuan stuck out her tongue and said with a smile, "I'm not stupid, how could I touch that thing."
"Zhou Huaijuan. Let's go!" Su Wanru took one of them out of the Jinxiu Pavilion, and the three of them had dinner together. Su Wanru went back to read the book, but in fact, there was only half of it left, and she finished reading it in a while. After putting the book away, she lay on the bed , inexplicably thought of Shen Zhan.
"Su Jin." Outside, Shao Juan knocked on the door, and Su Wanru opened the door and asked, "Sister Shao is looking for me, come in and sit down."
Shao Juan waved her hand and replied, "Aunt Feng said just now that the things in the Jinxiu Pavilion are too expensive, and we will send people to take turns to guard them every night from now on."
"Are we?" Su Wanru was very surprised. There are women in Jinxiufang, and they don't have to do anything except embroider.
Shao Juan nodded in disgust, and said with a suppressed voice: "Aunt Feng brought it up, saying that the mother-in-law doesn't understand anything. If she touches the embroidery clumsily, it will be like a cat's paw. The thread is scratched."
"Then who is on duty tonight?" Su Wanru sneered, thinking that this Aunt Feng is too good at coming, and she has tossed so many things in just one day, if Duan Zhang does not stop, the owner of Jinxiufang should be Aunt Feng alone Done.
"Qinghong and Sanniang." Shao Juan said helplessly, "It will be your turn in a day or two."
After Shao Juan finished speaking, she left, and Su Wanru closed the door to sleep.
On the second day of work, it was Shao Juan and Jiang Ye's sisters in the evening, and on the third night, it was her and Lu Siqiu's turn.
Su Wanru was also stunned when she knew it, Liu Sanniang pulled her and said in a low voice: "I'll take care of you tonight, so as not to cause any further troubles."
"Aunt Feng is watching." Su Wanru sighed, "If I don't show up, she might think that I have no rules. What's more, you are the head of the embroidery, so why don't I come, you help me the most valuable reason."
Liu Sanniang felt that what she said made sense, "...it's a bit too deliberate, so be careful."
"I know." Su Wanru said, "I try not to conflict with her."
Liu Sanniang ordered, and went to the cafeteria to have dinner with her. Jiao Zhenying also knew about it, "Why did Aunt Feng personally arrange for you to stay on duty with her?"
"It looks like it is." Su Wanru felt strange, and said with a smile: "Soldiers come to cover the water and earth!"
Liu Sanniang and Jiao Zhenying couldn't think of the reason, Jiao Zhenying said: "We don't care what she thinks, but you have to remember one thing, don't fight her. I heard that she will go to the capital with Aunt Feng next year, so avoid it if you can. There's no need to quarrel with this kind of person."
"I see." Su Wanru agreed, went back to wash up, took some snacks and went to the Jinxiu Hall, lit the lamp and did things quietly by herself, the place was very quiet, Lu Siqiu was not there.
Instead, she breathed a sigh of relief, hoping that Lu Siqiu would not show up.
It's not that she's afraid, on the contrary, what she did in a sneaky way, she will definitely avenge this hatred before she leaves Jinxiufang.
When the time was near, Lu Siqiu came in alone with a lantern. Seeing Su Wanru, she smiled strangely and said, "I heard that you embroidered the snow scene of Yanjing?"
Su Wanru glanced at her, but ignored her.
"Sure enough, it's different from when I first came here." Lu Siqiu sat down opposite her, resting his chin, "I still remember that when you first came here, you flattered me every day, but now that you have climbed a tall branch, do you think my tree is too short?"
Su Wanru smiled, and said: "I don't know anything else, Lu Xiuchang is good at sticking gold." Then she said: "The embroidery chief deliberately persuaded Aunt Feng to send someone to be on duty at night, and let you and I be on duty together. I didn't know and sang again." Where is the play?"
Lu Siqiu smiled lightly, with gloomy eyes, "You're so smart, why don't you guess it yourself."
"Did you come up with a good idea?" Everyone had already torn their faces, so there was no need to hide them. Su Wanru looked around and said, "Another man is hiding here? If you are not afraid of being like Lin Qiuyue, just go ahead." It's done."
Thinking of Lin Qiuyue, Lu Siqiu's expression changed, and he snorted coldly, "Sooner or later, everyone will know your true face."
"This is planning to leave Yingtian, so there are no scruples?" Su Wanru raised her eyebrows and looked at her, "I never thought that Aunt Feng and you still have such a relationship."
Lu Siqiu laughed, "I have been in Jinxiufang for so many years, how can I be compared to you, a little embroiderer?"
"That's right." Su Wanru nodded, "However, no matter what you want to do, you should think it through carefully. You never hurt me a few times before."
"Who do you think you are." Her tone is really annoying. Who does she think she is, why should she put on a lofty and noble virtue? Lu Siqiu was furious, and shouted: "You think I'm afraid You. The previous few times I just wanted to teach you a lesson, but this time it is different."
Su Wanru showed a look of astonishment, and said, "Are you planning to die with me?" She shook her head as she spoke, "I'm afraid you dare not cherish your life."
"You!" Lu Siqiu looked desperate, and shouted: "Su Jin, I want you to know what it means to be hard to argue with!"
She said, got up and pushed open the door of Qinghong's room, tore off the dragon robe hanging on the hanger, stood at the door and gritted her teeth: "Guess what I will do."
"Lu Siqiu." Su Wanru's face darkened, "Think about it, ruining the dragon robe is not only ruining Qinghong's effort, Jinxiuguan's effort... This is contempt for the royal family, you will be imprisoned and beheaded."
"I know." Lu Siqiu said, "But it's not me who was beheaded in jail...it was you."
After she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her clothes high, and at some point there was a pair of scissors in her hands. She smiled and stared at Su Wanru, "If you behead your head, I will definitely go and watch."
When the scissors went down, Su Wanru couldn't help but her heart skipped a beat.
"You're crazy." Su Wanru didn't expect Lu Siqiu to do this. After all, dragon robes are not a trivial matter. If Zhao Zhiang pursues it, everyone in Jinxiu Workshop will lose their lives, "Give it to me."
With a click, Lu Siqiu raised his brows and laughed excitedly. He lost his dragon robe and grabbed the scissors, "Don't be afraid, there are more terrifying things."
As she spoke, the scissors pierced her arm, and the blood flowed continuously.
"Tell me, wait for people to come, what will they think when they see the scene in front of them." She said, people ran out, shouting as they ran, "Come on, help, Su Jin has gone crazy."
