Farmhouse Imperial Examination Road

Chapter 514 The Grand Tutor's Son

At the end of the third year of Shunqi in the Great Wei Dynasty, the soldiers and common people finally counted it as a good year.

Early in the morning on New Year's Eve, Su Liuyu rushed to the harem after leaving court.

The red walls and golden tiles are covered with snow.

The red lights in the palace were easy to hang, and the faces of the eunuchs and maids were all full of joy.

Before entering Fengyi Palace, I heard laughter inside, the second sister was muttering about pasting the window grilles, and the third sister was busy looking for a haircut.

Su Liuyu's heart warmed up, and her pace quickened a lot.

The little eunuch who sang the report reported to the royal driver, and Lin Xiuyun greeted him from outside the hall.

In the hairpin, Jinfeng swayed with Dongzhu in her hand, Lin Xiuyun took her hand and chattered as usual.

"When it's snowing, you don't bring the stove with you. How can the imperial servants serve you?"

"Don't blame them, it's cold outside, mother, hurry up and get inside."

Su Yuzhen stuck out her head in front of the window lattice when she heard the commotion outside, holding the red paper in her hand.

"Little brother, today your second and third sisters are cooking in person, please do yourself a favor and eat more."

"In the past, the eldest sister cooks for New Year's Eve, but now the second sister cooks. No matter how unpalatable it is, I will hold back."

The little maid next to her lowered her head and snickered.

Fengyi Palace was full of joy.

And because the royal driver came over, there were noisy congratulations.

Lin Xiuyun pulled her in, picked up the dragon robe she had personally embroidered on the desk, and compared it to her.

"It's just right, just insert a Jirui picture, and my mother will make it up tonight."

There is a comfortable smile between her brows.

"Your elder sister will enter the palace in the next day. Once the New Year's Day is over, your second sister's marriage mother will also be arranged. Then Mrs. Zheng has a good temper. The mother has already made a decision, and your third sister is missing."

"."

Isn't this cheap, that boy Zheng Congwen!
When we meet in the future, we will call brother-in-law!

Su Liuyu cursed and criticized Zheng Congwen all over, but it was hard to refute her mother's arrangement.

She looked at her second sister in the yard, and then at Lin Xiuyun.

"Then next year, won't our family be able to reunite in the Chinese New Year?"

Lin Xiuyun patted her head with a loving face.

"My mother is so strong that I can still accompany my son for a few years, but my mother hopes that Brother Yu will marry someone earlier, and it will be great to have another company. These days, my mother has seen many young masters in Beijing. Not bad, literary talent is also very good."

Parents urge marriage every day!

Su Liuyu sighed.

"Mother, my great Wei man should stand in the world, stand in the court, how can he condescend to the harem and mansion, just to extend the royal heirs? It is not what I want to bury the talents like this."

She comforted again:
"If you are forced to do so in the future, then let's talk about it. Now it's better to use people's tricks."

Lin Xiuyun disapproved.

"The position of imperial concubine is under one person and above ten thousand people. How can such a noble position be buried?"

Su Liuyu looked up from the desk.

Looking at the high and deep palace walls around the window lattice.

"You don't need this honorable status."

Now, she is trapped under the four square palace walls, how can she let another one be like her.

It is useless to persuade Lin Xiuyun, so Lin Xiuyun can only change the topic.

"A few days ago, the little eunuch of the Imperial Study came to report that you had only returned to the Chengming Palace when you were ugly recently. From now on, you must not be so diligent and seriously hurt your body."

Hearing this sentence, Su Liuyu smiled.

"I haven't told my mother yet that I will be in Taifu's mansion on the third day of this New Year's Eve, so I won't go back to the palace."

For the sake of the three-day vacation, she spent half a month desperately dealing with government affairs, and finally freed up three days for her leisure.

Thinking of leaving the palace later, her tone was much lighter.

Today, I must ask the master for a full red envelope, and I must ask the master to prepare a valuable annual gift.

In this capacity, she has given countless presents last year.

But the only one who can let her ask for the annual gift is Shen Huaizhou.

After a hasty reunion dinner, Su Liuyu changed into an unremarkable ordinary dress and rushed to the Grand Tutor's residence.

On the main street, the sound of firecrackers soared into the sky.

It was snowing heavily in Yujing, but the congratulations from every household were deafening and joyful.

The sky was getting dark, and the red lights were hanging high all around. Su Liuyu climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, and the action was done in one go.

"emperor!"

Seeing a black shadow rushing out, Shi'an was taken aback, and quickly knelt down to beg An.

"The Tai Tuo is having New Year's dinner with the master in the main house, and I'm afraid he will come back later."

Su Liuyu rubbed her frozen hands and stepped out.

"I'll wait in the corridor."

Shen's mansion is a courtyard with four entrances. There is a corridor from the Shen family's small courtyard to the main courtyard.

The sound of firecrackers around is deafening, and the festive atmosphere of the New Year fills the whole house.

Su Liuyu walked to the corridor and looked at a red plum outside the corridor.

"Master, I'm afraid I don't know I'm coming."

Shi'an glanced at the main courtyard with complicated eyes, and handed over the stove.

"Your Majesty, it's better to go back to the courtyard and carefully injure the dragon's body."

Su Liuyu waved her hand.

"It's okay, I'll wait here."

She took another step and happened to come to the main porch of the main courtyard.

"After the new year, Brother Jin has just turned ten years old, and the master praised him for being smart. He has never forgotten the book, and he has only studied elementary school for more than two years before he understood it."

"Yu'er is at his age, and she is familiar with policy questions."

The cold voice made Su Liuyu's footsteps suddenly stop.

She looked into the room through the cracked window lattice.

The family banquet in the inner room was full of relatives and guests. A woman held her child in her arms, turned her back, and said a word of reproach.

"How can we compare with Tianjia."

"Yes, yes, no comparison, no comparison."

The man sitting with the woman also echoed.

Old Mrs. Shen, who was above the main seat, had a bad complexion, she had a sick look on her face, she didn't speak, but Mrs. Shen looked at Shen Huaizhou and sighed.

"Nowadays, such a happy day, I didn't want to mention it, but your father left early, only you, a legitimate son, if you don't get married, mother will not force you, our Shen family does not reject outsiders' words, but now Mother also advises you, why don't you adopt Brother Jin under your name, so that after a hundred years, someone will miss you."

After she finished saying this, she quickly wiped her tears with a handkerchief, but her voice choked up.

"Grandma's health hasn't recovered since your illness, so she is really worried about you, and mother is also worried every day. I don't know how many more years this body will last."

The woman holding the child quickly persuaded her.

"Sister-in-law, you can't cry on this happy day, it will hurt your health."

After a while of persuasion from all the relatives, Mrs. Shen barely stopped crying.

The sound of happy robes outside, the sound of congratulatory greetings, and the sound of New Year greetings are endless.

But the atmosphere in the main house of the Shen family was extremely depressing.

Old lady Shen finally raised her eyelids lightly and looked at Shen Huaizhou with a sad expression on her face.

"This heir can be regarded as a relative of our clan. To continue your father's incense, let's take a step back. Brother, why don't you take a step back."

On the cold and snowy day of the twelfth lunar month, when the red plums are fragrant.

Su Liuyu looked at each other from a distance across a window lattice.

She looked at Shen Huaizhou, who was wearing a large robe embroidered with brocade, blue silk half-up, and a jade crown.

It's just that those warm eyes struggled for a while.

Su Liuyu watched him raise his head, and where his gaze fell was old lady Shen's white hair at the temples.

"Good," he said.
