221: Who Else in This World Can Control Su Xinyi?
Not only King Rong but also King Xiang were here. Su Xinyi bought two copies of the things and sent the other one to King Xiang, naturally in the name of the prince.
Taking care of these trivial matters has long become a habit for her.
King Rong still had something serious to say to his eldest brother. After running a few steps, he turned back and dragged his eldest brother away quickly, fearing that he would be beaten if he walked too slowly.
Su Xinyi did not disturb the two of them. She went back to the yard to tidy up and put away the things she bought for her family. After finishing her work, there was nothing else to do. She didn't want to read a book at the moment, so she simply Go and have a look at the small garden of the house.
Although the small garden is not very big, it is very delicately built. There are rockery verandas, small bridges and stone pavilions everywhere, and there are all kinds of flowers and trees everywhere. At this time of year, the chrysanthemums are in full bloom, and everything is colorful.
Su Xinyi walked slowly along the veranda, turned the corner in front, and saw a square fish pond in front of her. There were many koi in the fish pond, and they were very fat.
But in the pavilion on the other side of the fish pond, she saw a woman wearing an apricot-colored shirt and skirt, facing her sideways. The distance was a bit far away, and the woman's appearance was not clearly visible. He was looking at her from a distance. She was slightly stronger than the average woman. There was a little girl beside her. She didn't know what she was talking about. It didn't look like the two of them were very happy.
Su Xinyi knew that this house was rented by King Rong, and there would definitely be no outsiders. The woman who could appear here could only be the fisherman girl brought back by King Xiang. She remembered that King Xiang mentioned something like " Fuyun.
Thinking about it this way, and looking at Fu Yun's figure, it is true that she is not as slender as a lady raised in a high-end mansion. She should often go out on boats with her family, and she looks very powerful and beautiful.
Women like this are very common in the countryside, because women in the countryside often have to do housework and sometimes work in the fields during the busy farming season, so their hands and feet are diligent and strong.
Su Xinyi hesitated for a moment. She didn't know much about Prince Xiang, but she knew something about Concubine Li's temperament. Therefore, she naturally wanted to avoid matters related to Prince Xiang, so even when she saw Fu Yun getting along with that girl, she didn't get along well. She didn't know the truth of the matter and didn't want to have any interaction with Concubine Li, so she could only avoid it.
Su Xinyi took another look and watched the girl leave angrily. Fu Yun lay on the back of the goose-neck chair as if crying.
Su Xinyi frowned slightly, but still didn't go over.
Having experienced the heart-wrenching incidents in the back house of Pingjing County Prince's Mansion, she understood the truth that things should not be taken at face value.
Besides, since Fuyun was willing to follow King Xiang and be his concubine, wouldn't he have thought about what would happen to her in her capacity?
Reaching the sky in one step is never easy. Now that Fu Yun has taken this step, he should be prepared.
After Su Xinyi left, he didn't see the crying woman opposite raise her head and look in the direction she left.
Although Su Xinyi avoided it at the time, after returning, he still felt uncomfortable and upset. He simply took a book and read it. He gradually became enchanted while reading, and the depression dissipated.
At dinner time, Yan Junchu asked Yang Jin to come over and invite her over. He still ate with King Rong and King Xiang.
Su Xinyi secretly inquired about Prince Xiang's expression, but found nothing strange, and did not hear him mention Liuyun again.
The meal went smoothly. King Rong did not deliberately cause trouble. He occasionally chatted about the case. Su Xinyi knew that the person involved had been found, but the testimony had not been released yet.
Wang Daoji was very cooperative and always available, but Wang Shao always encountered a little trouble.
Su Xinyi listened to the prince's arrangements for the two younger brothers' work tomorrow. She ate her own meal without interrupting.
But when he was about to finish eating, Prince Xiang suddenly said: "County Lord, I have something to trouble you with. I don't know if it's okay."
Su Xinyi thought that the meal was over. After listening to Prince Xiang's words, she raised her head and looked at him, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, tell me what you have to say. If I can do it, of course it will be fine."
Prince Xiang said with some embarrassment, "That's it. Fuyun will follow Qi Cheng back to the capital in a few days. I was wondering if I could ask the county master to take her to buy some clothes and jewelry and tell her about the things in the capital." This will prevent her from not adapting to Beijing."
Su Xinyi felt that this was not a difficult matter, and of course it was possible, but she felt that the matter was very strange. Why didn't King Xiang tell her earlier? Why didn't he tell her later? After she accidentally met Fuyun today, he mentioned it in the evening.
coincide?
She has encountered too many things, and she doesn't really believe in coincidences.
But Prince Xiang and the Crown Prince were brothers, so she couldn't refuse directly, which would hurt everyone's face, so she said: "This is not a big deal, of course it is okay, but Lord, you know that I also grew up in the countryside, so I said To be honest, I am not familiar with things in the capital, and I have a bit of a wild temper. I am impatient to learn the rules. My family has not asked me to learn them. I am not afraid of the prince’s jokes. I am not familiar with every family in the capital now, except for those related to our family. I am afraid that if I teach Miss Fuyun and teach people the wrong thing, I will harm them instead of helping them. "
Prince Xiang was really shocked when he saw Su Xinyi, who looked so magnanimous and so naturally said that she had a wild temper. The prince was still in front of him, and she was talking about herself like this?
Which lady doesn't praise herself implicitly in front of others?
And she is still the future princess, so she doesn’t care about her reputation?
King Xiang was still surprised, but King Rong had already laughed. He looked at Su Xinyi and said, "It's rare that you can be so humble. It seems that you have experience. Who did you lead into the ditch?"
Su Xinyi looked at King Rong, "I don't know about others, but I know that there are people who are stupid enough to jump off the wall and fall into a puddle. The wall is only three feet high. Such people don't need others to lead them into the ditch, but they jump down by themselves."
King Rong: ...
King Xiang looked at the two of them in confusion. It sounds like there should be a story, but he knows nothing.
Yan Junchu looked at King Rong, "Hurry up and do your own things after dinner."
How many stupid things did you not know? It's really embarrassing.
Prince Rong was so upset that he couldn't eat anymore. He looked at the prince, "Brother, you can't forget your brother even if you have a wife. Why do you always speak for her?"
Yan Junchu looked at Prince Rong and said coldly, "If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. If you speak well, no one will expose your shortcomings. If you can't speak, think about it first."
Prince Rong was so angry that he wanted to throw his chopsticks and leave, but he didn't dare to do so. He slammed them on the table and ran away.
Su Xinyi:...
The fighting power of this Prince Rong is a bit weak.
As soon as Prince Rong left, Prince Xiang no longer mentioned the previous things and stood up to say goodbye.
After Prince Xiang left, Su Xinyi was ready to go back to read a book and rest. The case was going well, and they should not be late to return to Beijing.
"Ayuan, did you encounter something? With your personality, you won't refuse such a small matter." Yan Junchu looked at Su Xinyi and asked.
Su Xinyi swallowed her words of farewell and said to the prince, "Maybe I am too suspicious. I saw Fuyun from a distance in the small garden today..."
Su Xinyi did not hide anything from the prince and told him what she saw today, "Anyway, I can't explain it clearly, but I feel it's weird. Since I don't know what kind of person Fuyun is, it's better not to have any relationship with her from the beginning. Moreover, if the prince of Xiang brings Fuyun back to the capital, I'm afraid that Concubine Li in the palace will not be satisfied. If I get close to her, I will inevitably be angry. I'm afraid that Your Highness will be implicated at that time, so I have to avoid her naturally."
Yan Junchu couldn't help but smile after hearing what Su Xinyi said, and then said, "Ayuan always thinks about me, which really touches me."
Su Xinyi:...
She was talking seriously, and she always felt that Your Highness's words were not serious!
Su Xinyi stood up suddenly, "If your Highness has nothing else to do, I will go back first."
Yan Junchu nodded seriously, "Something is going on."
Su Xinyi was stunned, and looked sideways at the prince who stood up and walked in front of her, "Ayuan, are you shy?"
Su Xinyi thought he had something to do, but it turned out to be like this?
Su Xinyi didn't expect that the prince would be like this after the window paper was poked open. She had never encountered it, had never seen it, and was simply unable to resist.
Su Xinyi couldn't fight back... so she fled in panic.
Yan Junchu looked at her back and chuckled. After meeting her, his life really became more and more interesting.
Su Xinyi felt very embarrassed after pounding the bed all night. Why did she run away?
But if she didn't run away, what else could she say?
I didn't expect that the prince was such a prince!
Su Xinyi was a little depressed the next day. First, she was a little uncomfortable with Fuyun's matter and didn't want to go out. Second, she didn't want to see the prince's face and didn't go out for three meals a day.
Yan Junchu didn't come to bother Su Xinyi after knowing it, for fear that he would move too fast and really piss her off.
The Wang family's case progressed quickly because of Wang Daoji's full cooperation. In just a few days, they got evidence and witnesses. Wang Zhifang's death was indeed not a battle death but a man-made one.
Yan Junchu wrote a memorial and sent it back to the capital. Wang Shao was young at the time and had never participated in these things. The brothers Wang Daoxin and Wang Daoli who did it were dead. The people involved in the case of the Wang family were arrested by Rong Wang. Wang Shao is now a lonely man, and no one in the Wang family dares to get close to him.
Now Wang Daoji has become a hot commodity again. After this incident, everyone estimated that the position of the command room should fall on him, so some people tried to repair their relationship with Wang Daoji at the last minute.
This includes Luo, who regretted her marriage and remarried. Luo dressed up carefully from head to toe. She believed that Wang Daoji must still have her in his heart because he had not married for so many years. As long as she sincerely admitted her mistakes, the two of them could get back together. Anyway, she said that it was her parents who forced her to remarry, and it was Wang Daoxin who secretly used means to force her parents to agree.
The person is dead, where can you find out the truth?
Luo was dreaming, but she didn't expect that Wang Daoji didn't see her, but Wang Xuan did.
Wang Xuan's face changed when she saw Luo. She was also a delicate lady in the family, but her father had an accident. Fortunately, her fiancé didn't regret the marriage and still married her. However, she didn't have her natal family to rely on, and her life in her husband's family was not very smooth. Fortunately, her husband treated her well, and she also worked hard to give birth to a son with her first child and stood firm.
She was lucky, but her brother was not. Luo's regretful marriage made her brother a laughing stock and made her laugh at her in-laws. She went to Luo and hoped that she would not regret the marriage for the sake of the relationship between the two families, but what did Luo say?
When Wang Xuan saw Luo, she turned around and brought a basin of water without saying a word, and poured it in front of the door, instantly soaking Luo's skirt.
Luo was angry and annoyed, but she was in the wrong and dared not say anything. Wang Daoji was easy to fool, but Wang Xuan was not.
Wang Xuan looked at Luo and sneered, "Oh, who is this? How did your precious feet come to our little place? Go away quickly, don't humiliate you."
This sentence was mixed with old hatreds, and Luo knew that Wang Daoji was not there. No matter what she said, it was useless. She had to grit her teeth and leave with a red face.
"Bah!" Wang Xuan slammed the door hard, turned her head and looked at her brother sitting in the yard, "You saw it, I said she would definitely come to you, such a woman is the most ruthless, don't be fooled."
Wang Daoji shook his head and looked at his sister and said, "I won't, I said you are still worried, and you have to come to watch."
"How can I not watch? Luo's mind is not right, and you are soft-hearted." Wang Xuan said and burst into tears, "This time, you... How will the court deal with you?"
After all, Wang Daoxin and Wang Daoli were both done by his younger brother. Even if it was revenge for his father, these were two lives.
How could Luo not know that Wang Daoxin died at the hands of his younger brother?
She knew!
She knew how her husband died, and now she was still thinking about remarrying, which showed how cruel she was.
"Sister, the position of the commander is what you deserve. I killed someone, so I can't be this official anymore. Even if I can be, I don't want it. I plan to return it to the court." Wang Daoji said softly, "I know how the Wang family treated us, so I won't leave this position to them. If I am lucky enough to keep my life, I plan to go to the border to defend the country. I will make meritorious deeds with my own ability. If... then I have avenged my parents, and it's not unfair. You will live a good life with your brother-in-law in the future."
Wang Xuan cried loudly. Her poor brother, she only hated God for not having eyes.
The memorial was sent back to the capital and soon received a reply from His Majesty. The position of the Wang family's command room was returned to the court. Wang Daoxin and Wang Daoli murdered Wang Zhifang first, and Wang Daoji avenged his parents later. Although it was revenge, it was against the law after all, so Wang Daoji was exiled.
The Wang family was originally a military household, so Wang Daoji was not afraid even if he was exiled. Only his sister cried like a tearful person.
The position of the commander of the Wang family was handed over to the court, and Wang Shao's family had to move out of the commander's house. The entire Wang family fell into decline.
The Wang family once prospered because of this commander's position, but now it has returned to its original state because of this commander's position.
"The Wang family has torn their faces to fight for that little ancestral property, and it's a mess." Prince Rong half leaned on the gooseneck chair and spoke with a look of sarcasm.
Su Xinyi has packed her bags and is ready to return to Beijing. Today is the last day to stay in Ding'an. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince still has to arrange the affairs of the Ding'an Guard. The new commander has not arrived yet. Before he arrives, His Royal Highness has to come forward to appease the military.
Prince Rong did not go with him either, because he was too tired.
If Prince Rong did not go, Prince Xiang would not go either.
Su Xinyi didn't like to have much contact with people from Concubine Li's side. In fact, she didn't like to have much contact with the Queen's people either, but she couldn't resist the fact that Prince Rong had a special relationship with her, so she endured it.
But she couldn't stop Prince Rong from being so familiar with her and not treating her as an outsider.
For example, now that she has packed her things and is just waiting to set off tomorrow, Prince Xiang will naturally avoid suspicion, but will Prince Rong?
No.
He directly invited Su Xinyi to the front yard for tea. The two of them drank tea and chatted in the pavilion. It was also good to pass the time listening to Prince Rong complain about the Wang family.
Su Xinyi listened to Prince Rong's words, looked at him sideways and asked, "The position of the commander of the Wang family has been returned to the court, and such a big scandal has occurred. The house and land attached to the commander's official position will be taken back, right?"
"Of course." Prince Rong nodded, and said without a trace of seriousness, "So the Wang family fought for money. The things they fought for were actually the private property that Wang Zhifang bought for the clan. It's funny to think about it."
Su Xinyi looked at Prince Rong with a little surprise, "Wang Zhifang bought it?"
Wang Zhifang was not the first commander of the Wang family. Why didn't the previous commanders buy ancestral property?
Prince Rong said indifferently, "Who knows, but I don't think the Wang family members seem to be clear. Maybe the relationship between the previous commanders and the clan was not very harmonious."
Buying ancestral property is not a trivial matter. Once things like sacrificial fields and real estate belong to the clan, it is impossible to take them back in the future. If you take them by force, you will go against the entire family.
In this kind of matter, it is hard to say who is right or wrong, but among all the commanders, only Wang Zhifang bought ancestral property for the family, which also shows some of the character of the Wang family members. In addition, after Wang Zhifang's death, these people's behavior, it is not difficult to understand why Wang Daoji is willing to return the position of commander to the court.
For Prince Rong, the matter of the Wang family is already over. He has no interest in talking about it again. He turned to look at Su Xinyi and asked her, "Before I left Beijing, I heard that the Ministry of Rites had already started the marriage process between you and your elder brother. If it's fast, you can marry this year?"
Su Xinyi was stunned by Prince Rong's jumping thoughts and words, and slowly said: "What, are you in a hurry to get married?"
She was thin-skinned in front of the prince, could she still lose to Prince Rong?
Prince Rong was so angry at Su Xinyi's words that his face changed. He pointed at her and said, "So what?"
Su Xinyi smiled slowly and said, "Sorry, you still have to wait. I have an older sister who is not married yet, so the marriage cannot be rushed."
Prince Rong was immediately happy, "Really? That's great. I can have a good New Year this year."
Su Xinyi: ...
King Rong happily basked in the sun. It was not easy. Everything in Ding'an was good, but the sunshine was a bit too precious and not easy to see.
"Hey, Su Xinyi, have you received any news from Yulin Guard recently?"
Su Xinyi shook his head, "No, has the prince received it?"
"No, I'm just asking you if I don't have any. You said it must have been more than two months since they entered the grassland, right?"
Su Xinyi said: "Who taught you this arithmetic? They entered the grassland at the end of April and the beginning of May. It is now the end of September. How long do you think it has been?"
King Rong couldn't sit still, "It's been so long? Why do I think it hasn't been so long? Logically speaking, he should have been back long ago, why is there no news yet?"
Su Xinyi thought about it and said, "The prince is short of money and spent it?"
King Rong snorted, "Young Master seems to be a master who is short of money?"
"Not short of money, but short of heart."
King Rong's face turned dark with anger and his hands shook. If he hadn't been able to defeat Su Xinyi, he would have overturned the table immediately.
"Can't you have some moral integrity?" King Rong said through gritted teeth.
"Did I say something wrong? Don't think about it. Last year, when they entered the grassland, they turned back early because of the bad weather. This time they chose spring when the flowers were blooming. Of course they wouldn't give up halfway. Besides, don't you also have people? In the caravan, they didn’t say this when they wrote to you?”
Su Xinyi didn't believe it. He must have written it. He probably didn't read it carefully.
King Rong snorted. He must not show weakness in front of Su Xinyi. He coughed lightly and said, "I'm not just asking you because I'm thinking about it and it's going to be winter again in a month."
Su Xinyi was not sure, "If there is no problem with the route they planned before, they can return to Yulinwei before winter. This time they come back, they should have a lot of harvest, and they will probably go to Beijing. The prince will Are you planning to make a substitution?"
King Rong had never thought about this problem at all, "What's the point of replacing someone? They are familiar with this road and have experience, so of course they can continue."
Su Xinyi knew he would say this, so she said: "People who are not married are not allowed to come back to see the engagement, and those who are married don't want their family and children? You can't just use a sheep to gather wool. You are so unethical."
King Rong finally realized that there was something wrong with what he said, and immediately stood up and stared at Su Xinyi, "Tell me the truth, do you have any other plans?"
Su Xinyi is a sieve type, with eyes from head to toe. It sounds grand, she must have other plans, but she still has some conscience and knows how to talk to herself.
Su Xinyi sneered, "You are really shrewd now."
King Rong held his breath, and he took it as her compliment, "Hurry up and say it."
"say what?"
King Rong suddenly heard his eldest brother's voice and stood up immediately. He saw the prince stepping into the pavilion, hurriedly ran over and pulled his eldest brother to sit down, and said very flatteringly, "Brother, it's great that you are here. Su Xinyi is talking about the caravan, please help me ask her what she has in mind."
Yan Junchu had just returned. Before he could take a breath and was about to speak, he saw Su Xinyi handing him a cup of tea, "Your Highness, please drink a cup of tea first to moisten your mouth."
King Rong:......
Flatterer!
Why didn't he remember it?
"Brother, let me give you some tea." Prince Rong raised the teapot and said very attentively. There is no one else in the world who can cure Su Xinyi, and it is only his eldest brother.
Yan Junchu glanced at King Rong, and then looked at Su Xinyi.
Su Xinyi carried King Rong on his back and made a gesture to the prince from an angle that he could not see.
The prince understood immediately and tried not to laugh out loud.
------Digression-----
I have six thousand words, but I am a bit stuck today, and it’s late, okay, everyone has been waiting for a long time.
