imperial concubine

Chapter 83 came to an abrupt end
The carriage rushed all the way back to the Hou Mansion. The eldest lady got off the carriage and saw the housekeeper standing at the door to greet her, and hurriedly asked: "Has the master come down?"

The housekeeper was a little surprised, he had never seen the eldest lady so anxious before, and from the look on her face, it seemed that she had something extremely important to discuss with the master.

So the steward hurriedly replied: "Go back to madam, the master has already returned. Now he is teaching the second young master in the study."

Hearing this, the eldest lady was shocked.Unexpectedly, the Yuan clan would act so quickly. The master just announced last night that he was going to teach Su Qing, and he sent him here early this morning.

The housekeeper standing aside saw the strange expression on the lady's face, and quickly asked: "Madam, what's the matter? Do you want me to go to the study and invite the master out now?"

The eldest lady shook her head, and pressed the cuff very carefully, feeling that the letter Yun Jingya wrote to herself was still in the sleeve, she couldn't help but feel relieved.With the handwriting of Her Highness the Princess, even the master has to weigh it carefully.

Stepping into the gate of the mansion, the eldest lady came directly to Su Huaiyuan's study.Although the master has just started to teach Su Qing, it's better to end this matter earlier, lest Lin'er feel panic.

Two guards at the door stopped the eldest lady, and one of them said to the eldest lady: "Madam, stop. The master has ordered that no one can step into the study room without his order."

The study room is a place where Su Huaiyuan discusses important matters with everyone in the Hou's Mansion, and there are many secrets in it. Even if the eldest lady holds great power in the Hou's Mansion, she still cannot enter the study room casually.

Looking at the two guards at the door, the eldest lady nodded and said with a smile: "It's my fault, I almost forgot the rules of the Marquis Mansion. Please go in and report to the two little generals, saying that I have something very important to report to you." Hou Ye reported."

The two soldiers nodded, and one of them turned around and ran towards the study room. The soldier who spoke just now said: "Madam, please wait here for a moment. I will let you go when Lord Hou sends an order."

Having just caught an excellent card in her hand, the eldest lady naturally does not lack this little time, not to mention, it is an extremely sensitive juncture, if she acts recklessly, I am afraid that it will leave a very bad impression in the master's heart.

Not long after, the soldier came back in a hurry, nodded slightly at another soldier, and then said to the eldest lady: "Master Hou, please come to the study to see me."

The eldest lady thanked the two with a smile, then led the maid and walked directly to the study.Before coming to the study, the eldest lady knocked lightly on the door, and after agreeing, pushed the door open and entered.

In the middle of the study room hangs a large nave, the bookshelves on the east are full of various schools of thought, and the bookshelves on the west are full of collections of classics and histories. It is a good bachelor's incense.

Su Qing was sitting on the side holding a military book and war strategy, frowning and reading hard. Su Huaiyuan sat in the middle seat and sipped tea comfortably. Looking at the lady who came in, Su Huaiyuan put down the purple sand pot in his hand and asked, "Ma'am, what's the matter?" Want to discuss something with me?"

The eldest lady has been in the mansion for more than 20 years, and she is familiar with the rules of the mansion, and has never come to the study to actively disturb herself before.She came here suddenly today, and seeing how anxious she looked, she thought that Da Furen must have something extremely important to tell her.

The eldest lady bowed to Su Huaiyuan and saluted Su Huaiyuan. Out of the corner of her eye, she lightly glanced at Su Qing. Su Huaiyuan immediately understood, "Qing'er, let's go here first! After you go back, read this book well. If you understand, ask me next time."

Although his mind was always on reading, since the eldest lady came in, Su Qing's mind has been on her.Now that Su Huaiyuan said such words, Su Qing immediately understood that it must be Da Furen who had something to say.

Even though Su Qing is now Su Huaiyuan's default successor, he still does not have the qualifications to participate in the core of the Hou Mansion.Thinking about what Da Furen said, it must have a great relationship with the Hou Mansion, that's why my uncle let me leave.

Putting away the books on the table, Su Qing bowed deeply to Su Huaiyuan, "Yes, Su Qing understands." After speaking, he bowed to the eldest lady before going out with the books.

Watching Su Qing gently close the door of the study, Su Huaiyuan looked at the eldest lady in front of him and said: "Madam, there is no one else in the study now, if you have something important, just say it."

Although Su Huaiyuan didn't know clearly in his heart, he also knew that the Da Furen's visit this time must be for the matter of Su Lin.Thinking of this, Su Huaiyuan sighed softly. Although Su Lin was very talented, but his luck was bad, he had no choice but to do it.

Sure enough, when she heard the master's question, the eldest lady knelt down on the ground with a plop, and said in a very sad voice: "Master, what you said after drinking yesterday must not be taken seriously. Lin'er was only frustrated for a while, and the master should not have put Lin'er on the ground." Abandon it and ignore it."

Just now when the personal soldier reported back, the lady had already thought about the matter clearly.If I could move Su Huaiyuan with emotion and make Su Huaiyuan take back his life, I would naturally not have to take out the letter in my sleeve, and I would have an extra card in my future.

However, based on the eldest lady's understanding of Su Huaiyuan, her previous methods would definitely not have much effect.At that time, as long as he took out the princess's handwritten letter, even Su Huaiyuan would have to weigh it carefully.

Looking at the lady kneeling on the ground with tears in her eyes, Su Huaiyuan frowned slightly, and then said to the lady: "Mrs. Madam Hou, how can you not care about your face, and shed tears? Why don't you get up soon?"

I have also been in a relationship with Zhang for 22 years, if Su Huaiyuan is not distressed at this time, it is naturally impossible.However, how can the benevolence of these women be accommodated in the officialdom?He had no choice but to replace Su Lin.

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, the eldest lady got up from the ground, walked slowly to the table, and said earnestly to Su Huaiyuan: "Master, even if Lin'er can't recover for a while, he is your own flesh and blood after all, how can you let him go?" Su Qing will replace him?"

This is the point that the eldest lady can't figure out the most.No matter in terms of character, talent, learning, future, or reputation, Su Qing is far inferior to Su Lin.Even if Su Lin is in a slump now, how can it be Su Qing's turn to replace him?
Su Huaiyuan heaved a long sigh, and then said to the eldest lady: "Madam, don't worry about it now. Being a husband has its own reasons. I know that Su Qing is not as good as Lin'er, but now that things are going on, there is no choice as a husband." ?”

Judging from Su Wan's words, Su Lin was not only devastated, but fell into the abyss!Remembered by His Majesty, Su Lin is hopeless in the future.I had no choice but to make such a countermeasure.

The eldest lady heard Su Huaiyuan's tone loosen, and said quickly: "Master, although Lin'er is temporarily serving as the prime minister of Taichang Temple, there will be opportunities to make a career in the future. How can he ruin his future career because of a temporary act?"

In Da Furen's opinion, Su Lin must have been tempered by His Majesty at this time, that's why there is such a move of ups and downs.But the master misunderstood His Majesty's intentions, thinking that His Majesty didn't like Su Lin, and because of the misunderstanding, Su Qing was promoted.

Now as long as I persuade the master well, when the master turns the corner, the words before that will naturally not count.Su Lin can also return to the position of the young master, and he has an extra hole card in his hand.

Su Huaiyuan picked up the purple sand pot and took a sip, then said to the eldest lady: "Of course I won't ruin Lin'er's career in the future just because he was demoted for a while. However, this time Lin'er was not demoted for a while, but for eternity." Turn over."

Hearing what Su Huaiyuan said was so serious, the lady was startled.Although Su Lin was assigned by His Majesty to the Qingshui Yamen this time, he was promoted to a higher level after all, so why was he demoted?

Thinking of this, the lady said to Su Huaiyuan cautiously: "Master is a little overwhelmed. Although Lin'er is a small official this time, he has been promoted to a rank after all. Why is the master so worried?"

Su Huaiyuan stood up, shook his head and said, "Of course it's not that simple. If Your Majesty transfers Lin'er to the six divisions, even if he's at the same level, I will definitely not abandon Lin'er. Changsi, it shows His Majesty's dislike for Lin'er."

Regarding the matters in the officialdom, the eldest lady knew nothing about it, and she didn't understand the difference between Taichang Temple and the Six Departments at all. She only knew that her son had been promoted to a rank.If His Majesty doesn't like him, why would he give him a promotion?

Looking at Su Huaiyuan who was constantly pacing in the study, the eldest lady asked: "Master, what's the difference? I think that His Majesty promoted Lin'er, and I think he really likes Lin'er's talent."

Hearing Da Furen's words, Su Huaiyuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.Taichang Temple is just a Qingshui yamen, how can it be compared with the six departments?If His Majesty really appreciates Lin'er, he should transfer Lin'er to the six departments, so that he can be honed to become a talent in the future!

Su Huaiyuan let out a long sigh, sat down on the chair next to him, and said to the eldest lady: "Madam, let me tell you the truth. In fact, the reason why I replaced Lin Er this time is because Wan Er gave me a information."

When the eldest lady heard Su Wan's name, she lowered her head slightly and frowned tightly.Sure enough, it was this Su Wan who was playing tricks!Presumably, Su Wan must have spoken ill of Lin'er in front of the master, that's why the master replaced Lin'er.

Thinking of this, the eldest lady said to Su Huaiyuan: "Master, Wan'er had a rift with Yue'er before, and it must be because of the past incident that she held a grudge against Lin'er, so she spoke ill of Lin'er in front of you. Master, you must not believe it." .”

That day Su Wan forced herself to beat Lin's mother in front of the old lady in the backyard, and caused Yue'er to be punished for copying "The Commandments for Women". Position pull down!

Su Huaiyuan tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said to the eldest lady: "I am very clear about the matter between Wan'er and Yue'er. Wan'er will never speak ill of Lin'er in front of me just because of this matter." , she is not a person who does not understand the general situation."

Hearing Su Huaiyuan's words, Da Furen felt a chill in her heart.Unexpectedly, Su Wan already won Su Huaiyuan's trust!I treated Su Wan very badly before, so it must be that Su Wan wanted to use this incident to retaliate against me!

The lady's thoughts flashed, and then her eyes turned to her heart, "Master, Wan'er has always had a deep prejudice against concubines. Therefore, she is also somewhat dissatisfied with Lin'er. Presumably it is because of this that she is not optimistic about her." Lin'er, master, you have to think twice."

In just a few words, the eldest lady has already described Su Wan as a narrow-minded villain. The credibility of words spoken by such a magnanimous person will naturally be greatly reduced. What's more, there is such a deep grievance between Su Wan and the eldest lady.

Regarding the affairs of the backyard, although Su Huaiyuan didn't care about it, he knew it very well, but he never took care of it.Although what the lady told the truth, Su Huaiyuan firmly believed that what Su Wan said must also be the truth.

The sound of fingers tapping on the table stopped abruptly, and Su Huaiyuan looked at the eldest lady and said solemnly: "This is not what Wan'er said. It was the prime minister, Mr. Fang Yuan Lifang who said it himself."
