imperial concubine

Chapter 96
Hearing Su Wan's question, everyone in the garden fell silent.The eldest lady lowered her head slightly, looking at a plate of delicate dishes in front of her, both Jiang and Yuan stared closely at the expression of the eldest lady, for fear of missing any good show.

After a while, the eldest lady picked up a piece of radish from the plate of side dishes and put it into her mouth, then said with a smile: "Although it's just a Qingshui yamen, there are quite a lot of trivial things in the daily life. The one who is busy these days is the Lian family." I'm not coming back."

Seeing Da Furen's forced smile, everyone felt a little disdainful in their hearts. They were so domineering in the past, but they didn't expect that they would still put on airs and refuse to admit defeat at this stage.

As soon as Da Furen finished speaking, she heard Yuan Shi say: "That's right. Although he is only an official the size of a sesame seed, who knows if God will open his eyes and let His Majesty promote him back again? A small official is also an official, so you can be an official with peace of mind." That's right."

Although the Yuan family didn't know why Su Lin was placed by His Majesty as an official in Taichang Temple, judging from His Majesty's will and Su Huaiyuan's reaction, Su Lin may have no hope of recovery in this life, so he can only do one ritual for the rest of his life. official.

What's more, the Yuan family just can't understand the appearance of the eldest lady, who is obstinately occupying the position and doesn't want to leave even though the situation is over. Such people, if they don't give them some color, they won't have a long memory!
Yuan's words obviously hit the lady's sore spot. After a long time, the lady said: "I am a little too drunk today, so I will leave the table first. The three of you eat slowly. If it is not enough, tell the cook to continue." Just do it."

Speaking of which, the eldest lady got up and walked out of the garden, just a few steps away, she stood in the garden and said: "Don't worry, I will celebrate my birthday next month, there are plenty of things in the kitchen, you can just eat." He returned and left the garden.

The meaning in the words is to say that although Su Lin has lost power now, the master still loves him very much.Even if the three of you want to do something to me, you have to get the master's consent first!

Seeing the lady's back getting far away, Yuan snorted disdainfully, "What's the big deal? Now Su Lin is no longer favored by the Elder Master, and I'm afraid that in a few days, the power of the Hou Mansion will also change masters." !"

The plan that I agreed with Jiang and Su Wan was very effective. Su Lin has already been hated by His Majesty according to the plan. Although Su Huaiyuan can't make up his mind for a while, the longer it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for Su Lin.

Seeing the eldest lady leave, Su Wan was also somewhat dispirited.Today's banquet was originally intended to give the eldest lady a warning, telling her that from now on, she is no longer the only one who has the final say in the Hou's mansion.

But now that the eldest lady was outraged by the three of them and left the table, Su Wan felt a little sad in her heart.Then she shook her head and put the sadness behind her, raised her glass and said to Jiang Shi and Yuan Shi: "Come on, the three of us have a toast for today!"

The three of them looked at each other and smiled, Jiang and Yuan knew what Su Wan was going to say.Today's banquet was originally a bureau, which made the lady restrain herself recently and let herself start to secretly erode the power in the mansion.

The three of them drank in the garden until sunset on the western mountain, and then went back separately.Zhuru helped his young lady back into the room, wiped her face with a hot towel, and then fed her a hangover soup.

Su Wan slowly drank the hangover soup in the bowl, and then asked: "Zhuru, what do you want to tell me? Now the second aunt and the third aunt are not here, it's just you and me, tell me!"

Just now Zhuru who had been serving him at the banquet had left for a while on the way.After coming back, he kept implying that he would come back quickly, not knowing if there was anything urgent to tell himself.

Zhuru went to the door to see if there was no one there, then turned back and said to Su Wan: "Miss, I just received a message from Hei Yi. You let us find the illegitimate son of the master earlier, and there is a whereabouts."

Before, the Yuan family had hosted a banquet for Jiang and Su Wan in order to give them some color.Unexpectedly, at the banquet, the Yuan family was actually taught a good lesson by the Jiang family.But Jiang's words revealed that Su Huaiyuan had an illegitimate son living outside.

The Jiang family naturally didn't know where the illegitimate child was, she was just scaring the Yuan family.However, the speaker was not interested in the listener, and Su Wan, who heard the news, immediately took the news to heart. After returning, he arranged for the black clothes to investigate immediately.

Hearing the news about the previous question, Su Wan, who was drinking soup, immediately put the soup bowl in her hand on the table, and then asked Zhuru, "What is the message from the black clothes? Is the child a boy or a girl?" "

If it was a daughter, Su Wan's efforts would be in vain.After all, what Su Huaiyuan wanted was a young master who could inherit the throne, not a cute and well-behaved daughter.If it was a son, then Su Wan had caught an excellent card this time.

Zhuru said to Su Wan: "The news from the black clothes is that Mrs. Ru was born a boy back then. That boy was the same age as the young master. Now he is a very ordinary hunter in a farm in the suburbs of Beijing."

Su Wan was very happy to hear that Mrs. Ru was born a boy.As long as it's a boy, if I help him recognize his ancestors and return him to his clan, and even take him to the position of Marquis, wouldn't the Marquis Mansion just wait for him?
Thinking of this, Su Wan hurriedly asked: "Do you know where Mrs. Ru lives in a farm in the suburbs of Beijing?" Seeing Zhuru nodded, a smile appeared on the corner of Su Wan's mouth, "Tomorrow, we will Go and meet this lady."

In the blink of an eye, it was dawn.Su Wan combed a very clean Chaoyang bun, then put on a long gown with narrow sleeves, without any rouge on her face, and hurried to the lady's room with Zhuru.

The eldest lady was teaching the maid a lesson in the room. When she saw Su Wan coming, she waved the maid to leave, and then said with a smile, "Wan'er, why did you come here to greet me today?"

Hearing Da Furen's words, Su Wan just remembered that she had been thinking about Mrs. Ru back then, but she forgot that it was only early in the morning, and she hadn't even had breakfast yet.

Su Wan's eyes rolled, and she thought about it, she smiled and said to the eldest lady: "Yesterday, I accidentally learned that my mother will celebrate her birthday next month. Wan'er thought about it and didn't know what birthday gift to prepare. It happened that Zhuru told me , Recently, there is a good agarwood in the suburbs of Beijing, so I want to go and have a look, so that I can prepare a good gift for my mother."

The suburbs of Beijing have always been a gathering place for wood, fur and other merchants, so it is reasonable for Su Wan to say so.The eldest lady sized up Su Wan a few times, but she didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Su Wan's gourd.Ordinarily, even if she passed her own life, Su Wan should never be so concerned.

Although she didn't know what Su Wan wanted to do, the eldest lady still smiled and said: "In that case, then you go! Remember to let Coach Li follow you. The suburbs of Beijing are a place where fish and dragons mix, so it's safer to bring more people."

Su Wan has already had two incidents in the Hou's mansion, and this time he went out again. If he didn't bring more guards, many troubles would arise again today.

Hearing Da Furen's words, Su Wan nodded slightly. She knew Da Furen just wanted to send someone to monitor her, and she had very important things to do on this trip, so how could Da Furen's people follow her all the time?You have to find a way to get rid of it.

So Su Wan said to the eldest lady: "Now the mansion is short of manpower, Wan'er only takes Instructor Li with her, and the rest of the manpower will be used by her mother, so that when there are trivial matters in the mansion, but there are no servants to do them."

The reason why Su Wan chose Instructor Li was firstly that he had little relationship with the eldest lady, secondly that he had kindly mentioned to Instructor Li last time, and thirdly, Instructor Li was regarded as the first-class in this Marquis Mansion good hand.

The Da Furen nodded her head as a consent.So after Su Wan thanked the lady, she led Zhuru to find Li Hongsheng in a hurry, got into the carriage that had been prepared, and went directly to the suburbs of Beijing.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage finally arrived at the farm in the suburbs of Beijing.At this time, the farms in the suburbs of Beijing were still shrouded in the morning smoke, and there were not many people in the markets selling fur and wood.

Su Wan got out of the carriage and followed Zhuru's directions to the market.In the market at this time, there were only merchants in twos and threes who were about to open their doors. When they saw Su Wan, they couldn't help but take a second look.

People who often come to this fur and timber market know that the people here are either hunters or wood merchants, and very few women come here.And looking at the clothes on the young lady's body and the way she went out, I'm afraid she is still a young lady from a rich family.

Along the dirt road of the market, Su Wan came to a merchant selling fur goods. At this time, Su Wan saw the first shop that opened.Su Wan reached out and picked up a tiger skin on the stall and asked Li Hongsheng, "I don't know if Coach Li might kill the tiger?"

The tiger fur in Su Wan's hand was bright in color, soft and downy, almost a foot long from head to tail. It was obviously a full-grown tiger. Even a person like Coach Li, who relied on force and tyranny, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he heard Su Wan's words. frowned.

After a long time, Li Hongsheng finally said: "If you give me a pot of arrows, a bow, a machete, and three days' worth of dry food, I will definitely be able to kill this tiger."

Li Hongsheng's words made the shopkeeper gasp, even the old hunter in the mountains did not dare to boast that he would be able to kill a tiger.Who the hell is this person to have such ample confidence?
Hearing Li Hongsheng's words, Su Wan put down the tiger skin, turned around and continued walking.It wasn't until the end that there was no one there that he opened his mouth and said, "It's no wonder that Coach Li can be the head of the guards in the mansion. His skills are indeed extraordinary. But if I say, I can also kill tigers. Can Coach Li believe it?"

Li Hongsheng, who had been following Su Wan all the time, looked at Su Wan, and saw that although she had a ruddy complexion, she was thin. In this fur market, there were all tall men, making Su Wan even more weak.

So Li Hongsheng shook his head lightly, if he could kill a tiger with the physique of Miss, wouldn't he have practiced kung fu all these years to the stomach of a dog?
Seeing Li Hongsheng shaking his head, Su Wan smiled lightly. She knew that Li Hongsheng didn't believe it.So she looked at Li Hongsheng and said: "There are three hundred guards in the Hou's mansion. As long as I give an order, they can catch the tiger for me, tie up the minions, and let me slaughter it."

Speaking of this, Su Wan looked up at Li Hongsheng and said, "No matter how powerful a tiger is, what else can it do when it is trapped by its minions?"

Although Li Hongsheng knew that what Su Wan said was unreasonable, he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only nod dully.Then Su Wan continued, "I think, you dare to hunt tigers, but you dare not kill wolves, don't you?"

Hearing Su Wan's words, Li Hongsheng suddenly raised his head. These are only things that people who practice martial arts like himself can understand. How can a weak woman, Miss, understand?

Seeing Su Wan looking at him with soft eyes, waiting for his answer, Li Hongsheng nodded, "Exactly. Experienced old hunters will hunt tigers as a last resort, but they will never kill wolves unless they are in critical condition."
