imperial concubine

Chapter 74
Su Wan sat at the table, reached out to take Yuan's tea, and took a sip.Just now in the front hall, Su Wan was afraid that the eldest lady would notice something, so she couldn't even drink tea calmly.When I came back at this time, I could finally drink tea with peace of mind.

Looking at the anxious Yuanshi, Su Wan held the tea bowl in her hand, and the bright red Danko on her nails gave off a coquettish bloody gleam in her hazy eyes, "Second Aunt, you are so anxious, could it be that you don't trust Wan? Can you get this done?"

Although he and the Jiang family had joined forces to beat the Yuan family before, but the Yuan family always regarded themselves as elders in front of him, and did not respect him very much.I just took this opportunity to remind Yuan Shi and remind Jiang Shi.

Hearing Su Wan's words, Yuan's face froze.For Su Wan, the Yuan family has always been a little indifferent.After all, he was just a junior. If it wasn't because Su Wan proposed the alliance between the three, he and the Jiang family would have put Su Wan aside long ago.

Immediately, the smile on Yuan's face reappeared, and he forced a smile and said, "What did Wan'er say? Why doesn't Auntie believe you? I'm just worried that you will be exhausted from participating in the Jingyan today, so I came to have a look Just you."

Naturally, Su Wan didn't believe such lies.But seeing that Yuan Shi immediately became submissive just because of her own words, Su Wan felt that her goal had been achieved; what's more, Yuan Shi was her elder, so she shouldn't beat her too much.

The phoenix eyes blinked lightly, Dan Kou was bright red, Su Wan said with a smile: "So that's the case. Thank you for your concern. After the feast today, the plan we made went very smoothly. The two aunts just need to wait for the good news. That's right."

Although he was dissatisfied with Jiang's and Yuan's attitude of persecution, they are his current allies after all, so it is not good to persecute him too much; what's more, today's affairs on Jingyan went extremely smoothly, and Su Wan's mood is also Then he got better, and naturally he didn't mind such small things.

Hearing Su Wan's words, the Yuan family was overjoyed. His son finally made it to his prime!She smiled and said: "Then Qing'er will be a famous talent in the capital in the future?"

When Su Lin's reputation falls, Su Qing will naturally become the pillar of the Mighty Marquis Mansion. Whether Su Huaiyuan is willing or not, this fact cannot be changed, he can only be forced to accept this matter.

Lifting the bowl, Su Wan's cherry lips squinted slightly and blew away the tea leaves on the tea. After taking a sip of the tea, she nodded and said, "In the capital, Su Qing's reputation will not be established in a short time."

Yuan Shi, who was extremely happy at first, heard Su Wan's words, and his face suddenly became gloomy.Before, Su Wan clearly promised herself that she would definitely make her son famous in the capital, and it was even said to be a good opportunity yesterday, why do she say that now?

An anger of being teased rose from Yuan's heart, and she said with a gloomy face: "Su Wan, didn't you say yesterday that today's Jingyan is an excellent opportunity, why are you talking about Qing'er's reputation now?" Can't stand up? Are you playing tricks on me?"

Yuan Shi felt that this incident was a bit strange yesterday. If it was really a good opportunity to become famous, why didn't Su Wan go to battle in person?Although Su Wan already has a great reputation now, it doesn't matter if she gets bigger.

Su Wan turned a blind eye to Yuan's gloomy face, put down the tea bowl in his hand, looked at the color of Danko in his hand, and found that it was a little pale, so he ordered Zhuru behind him, "Zhuru, find some impatiens tomorrow, The color on this finger is a little lighter."

The Yuan family never thought that she would question Su Wan Xingshi with such a stern manner, but Su Wan didn't take it seriously at all.Yuan couldn't help feeling a little overwhelmed, as if he punched with all his strength and found out that there was nothing in front of him.

At a loss, Yuan could only look at Jiang on the other side.Looking at the embarrassed Yuan Shi, Jiang shook his head, how can you go against Su Wan with your intelligence?But he still has to hit the stone with an egg despite his own strength.

It's just that, after all, the Jiang family has lived with the Yuan family for many years, not to mention that the Jiang family also wanted to let the Yuan family remember him well, so he asked Su Wan: "Wan'er, you said that Qing'er's reputation in the capital is short. Time can’t stand up, how to explain?”

As soon as the words came out, Jiang borrowed money for Yuan.Even if Su Wan didn't answer, the Yuan family could sing along with the Jiang family, so that they wouldn't end up in the embarrassing situation that the Yuan family had just now.

Su Wan saw very clearly the small calculations in Jiang's mind, but she didn't point it out.This mighty marquis' mansion is too small, and he will have to go out sooner or later, so it's not worth it to be too clear with these people, just let them know how powerful they are.

Seeing that the Jiang family also opened his mouth, Su Wan said seriously: "The reason why I said that Su Qing's reputation cannot be established in the capital for a short time is because Su Qing's way of becoming famous is definitely not the same as those talented people before. same."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Jiang and Yuan frowned at the same time.Is there another reason for this fame?Yuan Shi was directly humiliated by Su Wan just now, so it was difficult to speak at this time, so he could only look at Jiang Shi again.

Jiang Shi was also wondering that Su Wan was definitely not a random person, since she dared to say that Su Qing would become famous, she was at least [-]% sure.But why did Su Wan's words just now sound like excuses?
At this moment, Yuan Shi looked over, Jiang Shi nodded, and asked, "Wan'er, why do you think Qing'er is different? Could it be because of this sutra feast in front of the palace?"

Although Su Qing had mixed up in various poetry clubs in the capital before, he failed to gain much fame through his efforts.This matter has always been a pain in Yuan's heart, so when Su Wan said yesterday that today's Jingyan can help Su Qing become famous, Yuan agreed without hesitation.

It never occurred to me that at this moment, what happened yesterday was a complete mistake.Thinking of this, Yuan wanted to scold Su Wan severely, but seeing Su Wan's handsome face, she swallowed those words back for some reason.

Seeing Yuan's hesitant to speak, Su Wan snorted softly, and explained: "Today, it can be said that Su Qing has become famous. It's just that this reputation is not manifested in the capital."

Hearing Su Wan's words, Jiang's and Yuan's were completely confused. Since Su Qing has already become famous, then the whole capital should be famous. How could Su Wan say that he is not famous in the capital?
Su Wan looked at Jiang's and Yuan's confused faces, and opened her mouth to explain to them: "Don't forget, what are the identities of the people who can attend the sutra feast in front of the palace today? Su Qing asked questions on such an occasion, Wouldn't it impress everyone present?"

Thinking about the identities of the people who can go to the Sutra Banquet in front of the palace today, both Jiang and Yuan can't help nodding their heads. If they are not disciples of aristocratic families or important officials in the court, it is really difficult to attend the Sutra Banquet in front of the palace.

Seeing the two nodding, Su Wan continued to explain: "What's more, there are the emperor and the prime minister present today, and there are only five people who dare to ask questions, and Su Qing is one of them. The current Su Qing can be said to be The emperor has an impression in his heart."

Thinking of his son being able to leave an impression in the heart of the emperor, Yuan could not help but be overjoyed.It didn't matter that just now Su Wan ignored her matter and asked, "Then Wan'er, how can you say that Qing'er's reputation isn't obvious?"

If he could leave an impression in the emperor's heart, his son's talent and learning must be extremely outstanding.If this is the case, the whole capital should pass on his son's talent and name, so how can he not be famous?
Su Wan also didn't care about the matter just now, but said indifferently: "Second Aunt, the people who can attend the Sutra Banquet in front of the palace today are either rich or noble, how can such a person publicize the things above the Sutra Banquet in front of the palace? So Su Qing's reputation is not well-known among the common people."

It was only now that the Jiang family understood the meaning of Su Wan's words.Although Su Qing left a deep impression in the hearts of the emperor and the prime minister, they would definitely not make Su Qing famous. Therefore, although Su Qing became famous in the court, he still had no reputation among the people.

However, even so, the Yuan family was satisfied.As long as it can leave an impression in the emperor's heart, that is excellent.As for the common people, it is best to have a reputation, if not, it will not hinder Su Qing's official career in the future.

With such a satisfactory explanation, the Yuan family naturally would not continue pestering Su Wan, and the Jiang family asked a few more things about the sutra banquet, and the two left the small courtyard with the excuse of letting Su Wan take a good rest.

After the two of them left, Su Wan finally relaxed completely, let Zhuru squeeze her shoulders, and then fell asleep.

Su Wan slept until dawn, and when she woke up, she asked Zhuru to clean up for herself, and sat at the table bored.Seeing Su Wan's absent-minded eyes, Zhuru couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why aren't you reading today?"

Su Wan smiled, and then said: "It's not suitable for reading today. Anyway, someone will come to invite me to the front yard later, so I can't read well at all, so I just don't read."

As soon as the words fell, Zhuru heard the rough woman outside the front report, "Miss, the master invites you to the front hall." Zhuru looked at her own lady with admiration, never thought that the lady could be so smart skill!
The master and the servant had already packed up and appeared in the front hall of the Hou Mansion not long after.Looking at the whole family in the front hall, Su Wan stepped forward to salute one by one, and then sat down to greet everyone.

Not long after, only the sound of the outer cannon of the Hou's mansion, followed by the sound of the gong, Su Huaiyuan, who was sitting on the main seat, got up and said: "Everyone follow me out of the mansion to receive the order."

When I came to the gate of the Hou Mansion, I saw a group of people walking in front carrying a sign of mighty and solemn, followed by two people carrying a huge gong, and then four people riding tall horses. In the middle of the group was a group of people. Take a red sedan chair carried by four people, and finally there is a guard of honor.

The maroon official sedan chair stopped at the gate of the waiting mansion, and a eunuch in his forties walked out of the sedan chair, holding the imperial edict in his hand.Seeing Su Huaiyuan standing at the door to greet him, he just nodded slightly, and then walked into the mighty residence.

The housekeeper of the Hou Mansion has already prepared all the incense table futons and other things to be used for receiving the order.The eunuch saw that everything was ready, and a thin voice sounded, "Su Lin, editor of the Imperial Academy, accepts the order!"

Su Lin stepped forward and knelt on the futon in front of the incense table, and Su Huaiyuan and his family knelt behind him.Just listen to the eunuch unfolding the imperial decree, and read slowly: "Following the emperor's decree, the Hanlin Academy edited Su Lin, who is gentle, courteous and thrifty, with profound talents and knowledge. Now he has been promoted to be the prime minister of Taichang Temple. Two sets of official uniforms and hats are given , five pieces of jade pendant, this is it."

After reading the imperial decree, the eunuch closed the imperial decree and said to Su Lin who was kneeling at the front: "Master Su accept the decree!" Su Lin knelt on the ground and said in a trembling voice: "Thank you, Lord Long En. Long live my emperor! Long live."

Everyone kneeling behind Su Wan looked enviously at Su Lin taking the bright yellow imperial decree in his hands, only Su Wan's eyes remained unchanged, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was quite amusing.

Although Su Lin, who was holding the imperial decree in his hand, was smiling, his heart was bleeding. How could His Majesty throw himself aside in such a way!However, what exactly did I do that did not meet His Majesty's wishes?
