, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!
While they were talking, Su Deng and Su Li happened to return home. When they knew Su Xinyi was coming, they immediately came to the study. The cousins were quite happy to see each other.
Su Xinyi had a good relationship with several of her cousins in Huaining. This time she came suddenly. Several other cousins in the family went to the academy to go to the academy, and to the martial arts hall to learn martial arts. Even Su Mengyu, Su Xihua and Su Zhizhen Several daughters of the Su family have gone to girls' schools.
The news of Zhangping Mansion's victory had just arrived. Naturally, Su Deng and Su Li were very curious and pursued Su Xinyi. Su Xinyi briefly talked about the incident where she led people to find out the whereabouts of grain and grass and intercepted it together with the prince. At that time, I briefly mentioned a few words.
But what kind of temper Su Xinyi was, Su Deng and Su Li had seen it from the beginning. They felt that the simpler Xinyi said it, the more complicated it would be. They couldn't help but look at each other, and they regretted that they didn't have the chance to take a look during this war. .
When the matter was almost settled, they started talking about Suden and Su Li's trip to the capital.
Su Deng glanced at his grandfather and father, and then looked at Xin Yi and said, "This matter is quite strange to us. The person who came here was holding the badge of the East Palace. He only said that he was under the orders of His Highness the Crown Prince, and he didn't know what to do specifically. I didn’t mention it, but the person who came here was very friendly, so I thought it wouldn’t be a bad thing. I thought that Sixth Sister should know some information, but I didn’t expect that she didn’t.”
When he was in Jing'an Mansion, Su Deng knew that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had a good relationship with his sixth sister, and he was wondering how this matter might have something to do with her, so he naturally asked when he saw someone.
Su Xinyi had a vague guess in her mind, but she was not sure yet, and it was not easy to speak in front of Brother Deng. She thought for a moment and said, "His Royal Highness is always fair in doing things. Since Brother Deng and Third Brother Li have been summoned to the capital, I guess it’s planned, so it shouldn’t be a bad thing.”
With the Duke of Qi's Mansion in the capital, of course everyone wouldn't be too worried, but the Su family has been in Huaining for a long time, so it is inevitable that they are a little unfamiliar with the capital, and there are also some doubts in their hearts. At this time, hearing Su Xinyi say this, he felt at ease. .
"In that case, why don't you go back to the capital and have good company on the way." The third old man said directly.
Su Xinyi was naturally willing and said with a smile: "My grandfather would be very happy if he knew that the two cousins were going north. There is also a place to live in the mansion, so the two brothers don't have to find another place to live."
After hearing this, the third old man said: "There is no rush. We will wait until we get to the capital. After all, we still don't know what His Highness the Prince wants them to do. We will discuss it after we have the confirmation."
Su Xinyi nodded, "What my third uncle said is that it is convenient to stay at home until the errands are done."
If her guess is correct, I'm afraid the two cousins won't be able to stay in the capital for long.
Su Xinyi stayed one night and met with Su Mengyu and several other cousins, and then set off early the next morning to Pingningwei to visit Su Baiwei.
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Tuesday prepared many gifts for her to take back to the capital, and also prepared another gift for Su Baiwei.
Su Xinyi couldn't refuse, so he had to say thank you before saying goodbye to everyone.
Su Mengyu was reluctant, her eyes were red, and she looked at Su Xinyi and said, "You who come and go in a hurry don't stay for more than a few days, and you actually made me cry."
Su Xinyi looked at her and said with a smile: "When the family has time to take you and Sister Zhizhen to the capital for a short stay, we can meet again."
Although Su Mengyu agreed wholeheartedly, she knew that such a thing was unlikely, so she could only reluctantly send Su Xinyi away. She envied her being able to come and go freely, but it was a pity that not everyone was Xinyi.
After traveling all night from Huaining to Pingningwei, Suden knocked on the door of the Jiefu Mansion. Seeing that Suden was familiar with it, the concierge hurriedly greeted them respectfully. Someone quickly sent someone to the backyard to deliver a message and invited them into the house.
A few people went to the living room to sit down. Not long after, Su Baiwei arrived holding Ling Dong's hand. She greeted Su Deng and Su Li, then looked at Su Xinyi and pretended to be angry: "You really scared me to death. Ever since I knew You went to the border town, and I really couldn’t eat or sleep well.”
Su Xinyi hurriedly confessed after hearing this, and then carefully looked at Su Baiwei's complexion. Seeing that she was slightly fatter than before, her complexion was rosy, and her eyebrows were no longer as gloomy as before, so she knew that her life must be poor. No.
Several people sat together and talked. Su Xinyi had to talk about what happened in the border town. Finally, she looked at the eldest sister with a bitter smile, "How about I wait until my brother-in-law comes back to talk about it together? Otherwise, when he comes back, I have to talk about it again."
Su Baiwei:......
Su Deng and Su Li were overjoyed, but had no intention of helping her out. Su Xinyi glared at them and smiled even more happily.
Su Xinyi quickly changed the topic, "Sister, how was your life in Pingningwei? Did anyone bully you? Is your brother-in-law nice to you?"
Su Baiwei:......
How could she say such words in front of Su Deng and Su Li? She looked at Su Xinyi and said, "Don't interrupt. Don't think you can fool them."
"Madam, what I said is that Sixth Sister, your courage is really extraordinary. As soon as the border war report came out, you became a blockbuster."
The voice of expounding the Bible came in, and everyone in the room stood up, and soon they saw him striding in.
After not seeing each other for a long time, Su Xinyi looked at the Bible Explanation Guide and seemed to be younger than before, but then he came to his senses and looked at him in surprise and asked: "The Border War Report is here so soon? "
It shouldn't be. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be so fast.
Jie Jinglüe saw Su Xinyi's puzzled expression and immediately found it interesting. He met everyone and asked everyone to sit down. He sat on the other side of his wife. Then he looked at Su Xinyi and said with a smile: "Is there anything you don't know? This is really rare."
Su Xinyi:...
Can you talk properly!
Everyone teases her when they see her!
After laughing enough, Jie Jinglüe said: "This time the Tartars attacked Yulinwei fiercely, and Pingningwei also received a document to prepare to dispatch troops for reinforcement. Where the document went, everyone would focus on the war in the border town, so it is not surprising that the news spread quickly."
Su Xinyi understood, "I didn't expect Pingningwei to receive such an imperial edict."
"That's right, everyone thought they would have a chance to fight the Tartars, but they won so quickly. It's like we sharpen our knives and rush to kill pigs and sheep, but they ran away like pigs. Do you know how much you are hated now?"
Su Xinyi:...
Thank you, I don't want to know.
Lunch was served at the Xie residence. Xie Jinglue also called Fan Pengchi. When Fan Pengchi saw Su Xinyi, he couldn't help but say a few sour words.
Su Xinyi had adapted well and was unaware of her thick skin. She also comforted Fan Pengchi very kindly, "Don't be sad, Fan Chenshi. With the character of the Tartars, they will definitely come back after a few years of recuperation. Maybe Fan Chenshi will have a chance in a few years."
Fan Pengchi gritted his teeth and his face turned black. Who can say for sure what will happen in a few years? Isn't this just drawing a pie in the sky to fill people's hunger?
It's so conscienceless.
After dinner, Xie Jinglue and Su Deng went to the study to talk. Su Xinyi had time to talk to Su Baiwei.
Su Baiwei took Su Xinyi to her own yard. Yun Jie'er was a little shy when she saw her. The child was too young and couldn't remember people. For Su Xinyi, it was only a few months since she last saw Yun Jie'er. For Yun Jie'er, she was already a stranger.
Fortunately, Su Xinyi knew how to amuse the child, and soon Yun Jieer hugged her tightly and refused to let go. Mu Jin came over and took her away, and the two sisters were able to talk properly.
"How could your family agree to your doing such a big thing without making any noise?" Su Baiwei sighed.
Su Xinyi smiled cheerfully, "I'm fine, don't worry, elder sister. But the Jiao family didn't make things difficult for you here, did they? Why didn't you see my brother-in-law's son?"
"Kun'er goes to the Jiao family to stay for one day every half month, and today is the day to go to the Jiao family. Others want to use the Jiao family to oppose me, but when our Su family showed up at the wedding, the Jiao family got scared. The Jiao family is a big family in Pingning, but it can't compare with our Su family. Now they not only don't oppose me, but also teach Kun'er to act good in front of me. I'm afraid they will teach the child badly, so I discussed with Kun'er's father and set the rule of staying for one day every half month."
Su Xinyi listened to Su Baiwei's simple words, but she also knew that the matter was very troublesome. What surprised her was that Su Baiwei was very good to Jie Kun, not superficial.
"Is Jie Jinglüe good to you?"
Su Baiwei heard Xinyi calling him brother-in-law before, but now she called him by his name. She knew that he wanted to know the truth. After thinking for a while, she said to her seriously: "Sixth sister, he and I are married later in life. He has a son and I have a daughter. I originally thought that marrying him would allow me to control the Shi family, and we could live together and raise the child well. However, after marrying him, I realized that being a daughter-in-law is not a hard job. He treats me and Yunjie very well. Don't worry."
Su Xinyi saw that Su Baiwei's eyes lit up when she mentioned Jie Jinglüe. It didn't look like they were living together. She smiled and said, "That's good. I didn't make a mistake in choosing him."
Su Baiwei was amused by Xinyi's old-fashioned words. Although she was a little embarrassed, she still smiled. He said to her in a low voice: "Xinyi, he and I grew up in the south and north, and we have many different habits, but he is willing to accommodate me. He will also remember what I like and dislike. After I entered the family, he handed over all the household affairs to me. He would definitely let me go with him when he went to the Jiao family. If others criticized me for marrying for the second time, he would also say that he was also marrying for the second time, and we are just right. Here, I am much happier than when I was in the Shi family. When you go back, tell your family that I am really living a good life."
Su Xinyi nodded, "Grandparents, uncle and aunt, and even big brother will be very happy. Big sister, when there is a chance, take the child back to recognize his relatives. If you really educate him, he will know what is good and what is bad."
"The child is too young now and it is very hard to travel long distances. There will be opportunities in the future." Su Baiwei nodded and said.
Su Xinyi did not stay in Pingningwei, and left on the same day. Su Baiwei was reluctant to let her go, "You come and go in a hurry, take care of yourself."
Su Xinyi looked at the convoy arranged by Xie Jinglue, and the smile on her face was almost frozen, "Sister, if I don't leave early, I can't bear the gifts prepared by my brother-in-law in Huaining."
Xie Jinglue came over happily and bowed, "Sixth sister, please say a lot of good things for me when you return to the capital."
Su Xinyi hurriedly returned the greeting, "Brother-in-law, I heard from my sister that you treat her very well, please take care of her in the future."
Xie Jinglue's smile deepened, and he said seriously, "This is my wife, I will treat her well."
Although they thought of living together at the beginning, the two got along very easily and comfortably, and gradually they became different.
Su Deng watched from the side, always thinking that Su Xinyi was so worried at such a young age, it was really hard to tell.
Xie Jinglue watched Su Xinyi take a step forward and said softly, "Sixth sister, please keep a low profile when you return to Beijing."
Su Xinyi's expression was stern, and she instantly understood the meaning of "Understanding the Scriptures" and said, "Thank you, brother-in-law, I understand."
The Bible Expositor said no more and took a step back to Su Baiwei's side, watching them leave.
Su Baiwei waited until no one could be seen anymore, then turned around and walked back. As she walked, she said, "What do you mean by what you said to Sixth Sister? Is it possible that there will be danger after returning to Beijing?"
After hearing this, Jie Jinglue said: "In the battle at Zhangping Prefecture, the Sixth Sister left her name in the army. Do you think Commander Zhu didn't send someone to look for the Tatar grain transport team?"
Although Su Baiwei didn't understand this very well, she could understand it because she was a daughter of the Su family. When she heard the profound meaning of Jinglue's words, her expression was a bit unpleasant. She thought about it and said, "You have to admit defeat if you are inferior to others." yes."
"If only it were that simple." The interpreter sneered slightly, "But fortunately, the sixth sister is lucky and has King Rong and His Highness the Crown Prince as witnesses. It is not that easy for some people to cause trouble."
Su Baiwei couldn't help but still worry, "Will that have any impact on Xin Yi?"
"It's hard to say. After all, it all depends on Your Majesty." The explanation briefly said, "Fourth Master Su has won the emperor's heart. I think His Majesty will look at Sixth Sister differently."
Su Baiwei became even more worried, and just said: "I hope so." After saying that, she stopped mentioning the matter. After all, Xin Yi returned to the capital, and her grandfather would definitely protect her. "Kun'er's studies, what do you think of what I told you last time?"
Jing Lue listened to his wife talking about their son, with a look of pain on his face, "The child is still young, let's wait until he is one year older."
Su Baiwei glanced sideways at her husband, thought about it and nodded, "If it's your own wish, that's it. If it's the Jiao family's wish, I advise you to think again."
The Jiao family's idea is very simple. Xie Kun is the eldest son of Jie Jinglue, and he will definitely be the hereditary commander in the future. Therefore, they don't value Xie Kun's studies that much, and they can't help but favor him a little more.
But Su Baiwei came from a wealthy family and knew that reading was a very important thing, especially enlightenment. She originally looked for a well-known gentleman, but after hearing that the interpretation seemed to suggest some compromise with the Jiao family, she, as a stepmother, naturally did not want to offend others, so she only pointed out his strengths and let him make his own decision.
When Jie Jinglue heard this, he knew that his wife had misunderstood, and said helplessly: "It's not that I don't want to, it's because Mr. Jiao is not in good health, and the Jiao family is in a bit of chaos now."
Su Baiwei glanced sideways at her husband and said strangely: "If that's the case, shouldn't you bring Kun'er out? He is just the grandson of the Jiao family. There are so many grandchildren in the Jiao family, why do you need a grandson?" Please show me your filial piety, are they interested in Kun'er? They just want to know your attitude through Kun'er."
Of course, Jie Jinglue knew what the Jiao family meant, but he didn't want to get involved too much. After all, he was just a former son-in-law. He and the Jiao family were mutually beneficial. To be honest, it was difficult to have true friendship under the exchange of interests.
Because of this, he didn't want to get stuck in the quagmire, so he let the Jiao family reach out to his son. After all, the child was still young and didn't understand this at all, so he could avoid suspicion.
Jie Jinglue and Su Baiwei had a harmonious relationship after they got married. Although they had their own plans and considerations when they got married, they unexpectedly had similar temperaments, and the couple worked very well together.
When he married the Jiao family, it was regarded as an exchange of interests with the Jiao family, and after marrying, the Jiao family had great control over the Jiao family, so it was difficult for them to have a heart-to-heart relationship with each other.
Therefore, the Jinglue's attitude toward the Jiao family is very strange. They are neither close nor far away. They are not like in-laws, but more like allies.
Jie Jingluo looked at Su Baiwei's disapproving look at him, fearing that she might have misunderstood that she was using her children to act. He sighed helplessly, talked about his relationship with the Jiao family, and finally spread his hands and said, "I can't help it, the Jiao family The matter is not big at all, but it is not small at all, and there are people from the Xie family who are fanning the flames. If I come forward, it will only make the situation more chaotic and give others opportunities to take advantage of it. "
Su Baiwei didn't know that there were so many things involved here, so she shook her head and said, "That's it, we really can't wade in this muddy water. It's just... the child is innocent, and you don't want to think about it. If you don't care this time, what about next time? What about in the future? Will the Jiao family use the child as a cover every time? It’s okay if the child is still young. When the child is older, he will learn to behave differently. "
After Su Baiwei said this, she stopped talking and went into the house to see Sister Jun.
Jinglue stood in the yard without saying a word for a long time, his expression gloomy. After a long time, he sighed and turned around and walked out.
Su Baiwei watched the Bible exegesis through the window and left, playing with Sister Jun herself. However, Mu Jin whispered to the side: "Madam, why do you need to care about this? You won't be able to get away with all your efforts. The Jiao family knows it." , I don’t know what I will think.”
Su Baiwei looked at Hibiscus after hearing this, "I don't care today, I don't care tomorrow. When Jie Kun grows up to be a dandy, people outside will only accuse me of being a stepmother with a vicious heart. Who will know that the Jiao family did it themselves? Besides, after I entered the house, this kid was close to me, and he acted like an older brother to Sister Jun. A child without a mother is pitiful. Even though he is young, do you think he likes to go to Jiao's house? "
It's not that Su Baiwei is so kind, but Xie Kun is a very smart child. At first, this child was not close to Sister Jun, but after he realized that she really had no ill intentions towards him, he took a sincere look at Sister Jun. .
For such a young child, who can keenly sense the good and evil of adults, it can only be said that his life is unsatisfactory.
"Madam, you are kind-hearted, but when the eldest young master grows up, he may not remember the kindness you showed him today."
"I want him to remember what to do. I have a generous dowry and a capable family. Sister Jun will not have to worry about the future. Even if I have another son in the future, will I still have to fight with Jie Kun? My child's future will be natural. His uncle will take care of him. A commander of a guard station is considered a big deal. Who in the capital would notice him? I just think this kid is very smart. It would be a pity if he goes astray. Besides, I Mother, if Sister Jun were to end up in such a situation, I would be very distressed, and I would only be able to take care of her. "
After Su Baiwei finished speaking, she hugged her daughter and kissed her. Listening to Sister Jun's happy laughter, she said slowly: "Hibiscus, don't say such words in the future."
"Hey, I remember this. I also like Master Kun very much. He has rules and endures hardships at a young age. What Madam said is that a child without a mother is pitiful."
Outside the main hall door, the returning Jie Jing Lue was holding the hand of Jie Kun who was returning home. The father and son stood outside the door not intending to eavesdrop, but they just happened to fall into their ears.
Xie Kun raised his head and glanced at his father, then stretched out his little hand and pushed the door open and went in.
Xie Kun:......
This is a bit of a hard time.
Su Xinyi, who was heading to the capital, didn't know the excitement of Pingning Guards Station. Jian Cong walked quickly in the light carriage, but he really couldn't walk fast with so many things. He didn't meet Mu Xing and the others at Jing'an Mansion this time, but walked along the official road. Go straight north.
At this time, King Rong in the capital had just been scolded by the queen. He was so depressed that he couldn't help but said: "Why am I stupid? My eldest brother is not as scheming as the mother said, and what does this have to do with Su Xinyi? You Why should I blame her again? I went to the border town on my own. If I hadn't met her, I might have been eaten by a wolf! "
The queen's usually graceful and elegant face was now a little ferocious because of her son's anger, "You are stupid and you still don't admit it. With a temper like yours, Su Liu must have been accurate. Otherwise, how could she be saved again by such a coincidence? You? I don’t believe there is such a coincidence in this world. Is it true that your whole life will be entangled with her?”
King Rong couldn't reason with his mother. He had always been pampered and was a little lawless, so he threw up his sleeves and ran away in anger. The angry queen slapped her hand on the table, her face as black as ink.
How could she have given birth to such a stupid thing!
King Rong was so angry that he went to his father to complain, but his father didn't see him, and the oral message was passed quickly and made him kneel outside the palace!
Kneel!
King Rong knelt down outside the hall with tears in his eyes. Why was he so miserable?
When the prince was in trouble inside the palace, he would kneel down outside the palace as punishment. Didn't he want to lose face?
When Yan Junchu came out of the palace, he saw King Rong who was like an eggplant beaten by frost. He walked to him and stopped, stared down at him and said slowly: "My father punished you to kneel because you went to the border town without permission. Kneeling is not allowed." Kneel down and go in now.”
Yan Junchu left after saying these words. As Rong Wang stared at the prince's back, he felt that he couldn't get up and down, and he choked and felt even more uncomfortable.
How could the prince be so high-spirited and prosperous even after coming back from Zhangping Mansion? He was valued by his father and praised by all the ministers. He was the only one. He was the only one who didn't get any glory. He was still kneeling here like a monkey on the street. People gathered around.
He is so miserable!
