Farmhouse Golden Phoenix

Chapter 114

This is the second time for Su Qinghe to come to the county lord's mansion, and once she settled down, she took a few maids to visit the garden.

"County lord, over there is the lotus garden. It looks beautiful in summer, and the pond is full of lotus flowers." The maid who stayed in the county lord's mansion led the way, and she was also the first-class maid beside Su Qinghe.On the side of the county lord's mansion, there are two maidservants, Su Qinghe changed their names, one is called Yunjuan and the other is called Yunshu.

Yunjuan has a lively personality and is familiar with the county lord's mansion, so he volunteered to visit the garden with Su Qinghe.Yun Shu, on the other hand, has a calm temper. Right now, he is instructing people in the yard to arrange Su Qinghe's salute.

Yun Nuan and Yun Duo have been by Su Qinghe's side from the very beginning. They don't know whether they are worried that Yun Shu and Yunjuan will take their place in front of Su Qinghe or something. Ever since they entered the county lord's mansion, Yunjuan and Yunjuan Yun Shu maintained a high level of vigilance.

Now listening to Yunjuan's talk, Yunduo was not happy: "Sister Yunjuan, winter is not over yet, what kind of lotus should we go to see?"

Yun Juan scratched his cheek embarrassingly, and bowed to Su Qinghe: "I know my mistake, please forgive my sin."

"It's okay, you can get up and continue talking." Su Qinghe looked at Yunjuan with interest, and raised her hand with a smile.The servants in the county lord's mansion were all sent by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and I don't know who picked them. Anyway, with the gift of the house, these people are already in the mansion.

Su Qinghe and these people are full of plans, and this is only the second time they meet.It would be a joke to say that the people in this mansion are all sincere and listen to her, the county lord, in everything.

Look, even this big maid has other thoughts. If it is said that everyone else is looking for her as the county lord, it would be faster to dream.

"Yes, County Lord." Yun Juan couldn't understand whether Su Qinghe was angry or not, so he carefully looked at Su Qinghe's expression, and then said with a smile: "There is a yard in the east, and there are many winter jasmine flowers in it. It's just right to open later, if the county lord wants to take a look, this servant will take you there."

"The courtyard in the county lord's mansion hasn't been named yet, has it?" Su Qinghe walked a few steps, suddenly thought of this question, and then turned to ask, Yunjuan shook his head: "Returning to the county lord, originally this place was a The mansion of the second-rank official was later exiled, and the house was handed over to the imperial court. The imperial court did not repair the house too much, and the courtyard inside is exquisite, and it is still in the original house."

Su Qinghe nodded: "It's too unlucky, I will change all the plaques and so on later. By the way, where do Ping and Wang's mothers usually live? And the housekeeper of the outer courtyard, yes What's your last name?"

"If you go back to the county master, there is a corner door on the second courtyard. After opening, there is a small alley. There are more than a dozen houses in the alley. The two nuns live in that alley. The maids who are not married at home may have no family members. The mothers and nuns all live there. There is also a corner door in the first courtyard, which leads to the left, and that is where the male servants of the house live. On the street behind, going around from outside the house, there is no corner gate in the backyard."

Yun Juan spoke very straightforwardly, and even pointed the direction for Su Qinghe to identify.Su Qinghe nodded secretly, it seems that the servants in this mansion all live outside the mansion.This has both advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that there is no need to arrange it randomly, and the house at home does not look so messy.The disadvantage is that the master doesn't know what the servants said or did when they left the door.

"How many yards are there in total in the mansion?" Su Qinghe continued to ask, and Yun Juan answered after thinking for a while: "There is one main yard, on the east side, facing west. There are three yards on the south side, and three yards on the north side, seven in total. courtyard."

Su Qinghe nodded, let Yunjuan lead the way, and went around all the courtyards.

When I was tired, I took people back.It happened that Su Zhiping and Su Zhi'an came back from the fourth prince's mansion, Su Qinghe saw that the two of them were not very happy, so she became curious: "What's wrong? Did the fourth prince not see you?"

As soon as they arrived in the capital, Su Zhiping and Su Zhian said they were going to visit the fourth prince. After all, the fourth prince was kind to their family, and the two brothers also had other plans, so it was right to get closer to the fourth prince.Moreover, even if they have no other plans, according to etiquette, they should also visit the Fourth Prince.

It's just that it's too early to come back, right?In less than an hour, both brothers came back.

Su Zhiping sighed, kicked out all the servants in the room, and then said: "Something happened to the Fourth Prince."

"What happened? What happened? The fourth prince was imprisoned again?" Su Qinghe was stunned for a while before asking, Su Zhian was a little bit dumbfounded: "You have to think about the fourth prince being imprisoned?"

"Didn't you say that something happened to him? As a prince, what's the biggest thing that happened? Isn't it just being locked up?" Su Qinghe curled her lips and sat down with a teacup. dead her.

"In half a month, isn't it the day when the fourth prince will get married?" Su Zhi'an raised her eyebrows and said, Su Qinghe nodded, that is, she has to hurry up to buy, there are many things that she has to go and see for herself.

"Originally you were worried about spending too much money, but this time, you can save money." Su Zhian smiled strangely, and Su Zhiping patted him, and then he closed his smile and coughed lightly: "Exactly." To put it bluntly, something happened not to the fourth prince, but to the lady of the fourth prince who didn't come in."

"What happened?" Su Qinghe became even more curious. It's big gossip, it's still news about the royal family.

"I told you earlier that the one the emperor pointed out to the fourth prince is the daughter of Lord Qing Qi of Honglu Temple, right?" Su Zhian tried to be serious, and explained to Su Qinghe very seriously: "You also know that the capital has been very... Hmm, it's been a storm."

Su Qinghe let out a chuckle, and there was a lot of trouble, the use of this word was really weird enough.

"Although this prince has been canonized, if the prince does not succeed to the throne, the other princes will not stop for a day. The fourth prince clearly supports the third prince, and the minister of Honglu Temple supports the prince."

Su Zhiping said meaningfully, Su Qinghe blinked, although he didn't quite understand the situation, but it didn't hinder his understanding, probably pointing out the people on the prince's side to the fourth prince is the so-called way of balance.

It's just that, it's just a minister of Honghe Temple, not a very high official, not in charge of real power, just a diplomat, who would attack such a person?If you have this skill, you might as well assassinate an official from the Six Ministries.

"At the end of the year, the third prince knew what he had done and was reprimanded by the emperor. During this time, he has been studying behind closed doors at home." Su Zhiping said again, holding a teacup and laughing without saying a word.

Su Qinghe blinked, but didn't understand.

Su Zhian waved his hand: "It's not good for you to know too much, and it's useless to think too clearly. You just need to know that the lady who has never been with the fourth prince went out to watch the Lantern Festival on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and was found to be with the sixth prince. It’s enough to get one of the officials entangled if there is a loss of name.”

Is there a festival of infamy?After being married to the prince, this girl was caught and entangled?
Su Qinghe's body suddenly turned cold: "Then Miss Qi..."

"The current sage is merciful, and only said that since Miss Qi has someone in her heart, she doesn't need to marry the fourth prince." But if this is said, it is estimated that no matter whether it is a direct branch or a side branch girl of the Qi family, they may not be able to marry in the future.Even if she gets married, she might have to be divorced.

As for Miss Qi, it is even more impossible for her to remarry.It is said that Miss Qi has been sent to the family temple, and she caught wind and cold a few days ago, and it is estimated that she will die of illness after a while.

Su Qinghe lowered her eyes, her heart was beating like a drum, she was afraid.

Women have always been victims of power struggles between men.Miss Qi didn't know if it was the prince's pawn or the sixth prince's pawn, or if it was something the fourth prince made up by himself.

I only feel sorry for the girl who is like a flower. Before she gets married, she is about to die.And the other girls of the Qi family, how innocent they are, have also sat on the cannon fodder in this seizing the throne.

Su Zhiping and Su Zhi'an watched Su Qinghe's face change. The two brothers knew their sister well, so they immediately knew that Xiao He was frightened. Su Zhiping quickly took Su Qinghe into his arms and patted her on the back: " Xiao He, don't worry, speaking of this matter, there is something wrong with the girl from the Qi family."

Su Qinghe raised her eyes to look at him, while Su Zhian hurriedly nodded beside her: "That's right, don't worry, that Miss Qi is not wrong at all. Normal ladies, if you come out to enjoy the lanterns, you should either bring more servants, or Even if you set up a restaurant or teahouse on the street, even if you are a girl from a common people's house, you have to come out with your family."

"But Miss Qi, just brought her close servant girl, two weak girls, and just started walking in the street." Su Zhian frowned and said: "Besides, when something happened, it didn't mean that she was really wronged Instead, they were caught on the spot, and she and that man were..."

The rest of the words were a little hard to say, so Su Zhi'an fooled it: "She didn't struggle and said she was forced, she wanted to die by herself, but she can't blame others."

The corners of Su Qinghe's mouth twitched. If this is the case, then the girl from the Qi family must be a little too brainless, right?She's already committed to marriage, but she still wants to marry the Fourth Prince, yet she dares to engage in an underground romance, isn't she really boring?

Su Zhi'an didn't tell her, I'm afraid that man came out on purpose to seduce the Qi family girl from the beginning, but after the incident happened, that man put all the responsibility on the Qi family girl, and he himself retreated completely, and is still there. The Sixth Prince is serving as an aide.

Seeing that her face had calmed down, Su Zhiping rubbed her head with a smile: "Remember, you can't make a private life with a man casually in the future, and you are not allowed to give and receive privately. You have to tell the eldest brother and the second brother if you have anything. ,do you know?"

"Brother, am I that kind of person?" Su Qinghe gave him a white look, although she was still very uncomfortable, she didn't think about it anymore.After all, she and the girl from the Qi family have never met, so naturally there won't be any big emotional ups and downs.

However, Su Qinghe was still a little worried: "Big brother, second brother, our family is so close to the fourth prince now..."

"It doesn't matter. Everyone knows that the fourth prince has kindness to our family, and we also have kindness to the fourth prince. If we are estranged from the fourth prince, it is abnormal. Besides, my eldest brother and I are just two nameless boys , how big a wave can it create?" Su Zhiping explained on the side,

"Xiao He, you are so short, you think too much about things so you can't grow taller." Su Zhi'an joked, and was punched by Su Qinghe twice before squeezing her fist with a smile: "Okay, big brother and second brother are worried." I have counted, you, just read and write, embroider and play the piano and so on. Don't think too much."

Su Zhi'an said with a smile, comforted Su Qinghe, and then changed the subject: "You said earlier that you would change the names of all the courtyards, why don't we go and have a look now?"

"No need, I just walked around and I'm exhausted. You should go to the study to read books. The exam will be over in a month or so. If you don't pass the exam, you will be ashamed." Su Qinghe smiled and stretched out her index finger in the I shaved my face twice.

Su Zhiping pinched her cheek, reprimanded her with a smile, and went to the study with Su Zhian.
