Su Liang had just opened the door when Aunt Bai came over with a basket.
The Bai family had recently received some unexpected income, and Zhuzi's health was expected to improve. Aunt Bai's worries were relieved a lot, "Liang girl, I just picked some wild vegetables. I know you like this. Can you take some?"
Su Liang invited Aunt Bai in and took a handful of fresh wild vegetables to the kitchen.
Aunt Bai saw that the kitchen was tidy and praised Su Liang for being a person who knew how to live.
But in fact, Su Liang was only responsible for cooking, and washing dishes and cleaning were all Ning Jing's work.
Aunt Bai said, mentioning Su Xingzhe's family, "You didn't go out and didn't know that something big happened at Niu Pozi's house last night!"
Women's gossip seems to be natural.
Su Liang pretended not to know, and Aunt Bai saw that she was interested, so she opened the chatterbox.
"The eldest son of Niu Pozi's family has always been in poor health. He just got married, but she died within a month, leaving no children. If I were to ask her, it would be better to let her go back to her parents' home and find someone to marry since she is still young and has not given birth to a child. Why must she be a widow for the rest of her life?"
"Niu Pozi refused to let Liu Huilan go, and made her serve the whole family. She beat her every day and cursed her with such dirty words! If my daughter was treated like this, I would definitely ask my son to go to her house to beat her! She is not so bullying! It's because there is a scholar in her family, and no one dares to offend her!"
"Guess what? Last night, the wall of his house collapsed, the pigs ran away, the chickens flew away, and it caught fire! I didn't even see a shadow of a person! They all said it was haunted!"
"I passed by his house when I was picking vegetables just now, and the pigs haven't been found yet. I think Niu Pozi will definitely find a Taoist priest to perform a ritual to exorcise the evil spirits!"
Mrs. Bai can't say that she is gloating over the misfortune, but at least she is venting her anger.
Bai He originally studied in the town school with Su Xingzhe, but Zhuzi was weak and sickly after he was born and had to take medicine all the time. The Bai family could not afford it, so Bai He had to give up.
Since then, Niu Pozi has been ridiculing Bai Da Niang a lot, and her sarcastic face makes Bai Da Niang hate her in her heart.
Bai Da Niang always thinks that her youngest son Bai He is smart and is a good student, but unfortunately the family can't afford it, so she is already depressed.
There were a few times when Niu Pozi was sarcastic in public, and Bai Da Niang almost couldn't help but rush over to tear her stinky mouth!
"Maybe there is a ghost." Su Liang said seriously, "Is there a Taoist priest in our village?"
Bai Da Niang shook her head, "There is no Taoist priest in our village, but there is one in the town."
"Is it effective?" Su Liang asked.
Bai Da Niang sneered, "That's an old liar who takes money to do things!"
Su Liang suddenly had an idea in his mind and thought of how to help Liu Huilan escape from the sea of suffering...
Saving people can't be abandoned halfway. If Liu Huilan doesn't leave Niu Pozi's house, the tragedy of last night will happen again sooner or later.
After sharing the most explosive gossip in the village with Su Liang, Aunt Bai walked away contentedly with her basket.
"Lend me a set of your clothes." Su Liang came in and said to Ning Jing.
Ning Jing did not ask what she was going to do, and took out a green long gown.
Su Liang compared it and found it was too big.
"For you." Ning Jing said.
"Thank you." Su Liang took the clothes back to her room, took out scissors and needles, and after simple cutting and mending, it fit her well.
When Ning Jing saw Su Liang again, she dressed up as a man and tied her hair into a bun.
The girl who had not yet reached the age of marriage looked like a boy of twelve or thirteen at first glance.
Su Liang also took the straw hat from Ning Jing's room, which was left by Uncle Liang.
"I'm going to the town. Do you have anything to buy?" Su Liang asked.
Ning Jing shook his head, "No."
"If Qi Jun comes to pick him up, let him wait." Su Liang finished speaking and walked out of the door with brisk steps.
There is a shorter path from the village to the town, which Bai Peng pointed out to Su Liang.
The path is narrow, and you can't go there with a cart or a load on your back. There are usually not many people.
Su Liang took the path and was very fast. He entered Feiyan Town in a short while.
After asking around, he found the old Taoist priest who had been setting up a stall at the alley entrance all year round.
The old Taoist priest's clothes were shabby, and his eyes were shining.
Su Liang pulled his straw hat down very low, revealing only his pointed chin. He got straight to the point, "If someone from Sujia Village comes to ask the Taoist priest to perform a ritual today, the Taoist priest will tell the family that the widowed daughter-in-law and the younger brother-in-law have conflicting zodiac signs and need to stay away from each other."
"I never lie." The old Taoist priest snorted.
Su Liang took out a piece of silver, "Master, they really conflict with each other."
The old Taoist's eyes lit up, he grabbed the silver and stuffed it into his arms, waving his whisk, "Don't worry, young master, I will take a good look."
Soon after, a man hurriedly came to invite the old Taoist and went to the direction of Sujia Village.
...
Su Liang cut a piece of fresh meat, bought some grains and seasonings, and carried a basket to take a shortcut home.
Before leaving Feiyan Town, a carriage stopped beside him.
"Miss Su?"
Hearing Xing Yusheng's voice, Su Liang stopped and saw Qi Jun driving the carriage, and sitting next to him was another guard Qi Yan who looked similar to him. The two were brothers.
Xing Yusheng sat in the car and looked at her in surprise.
"It's really Miss Su!" Qi Jun said with a smile, "Just now, the prince said it looked like her, and I didn't recognize her!"
"Are you going to my house?" Su Liang asked.
"I'm sorry to bother Miss Su to come and treat me. I also want to come out and see." Xing Yusheng explained.
Su Liang nodded and got on the carriage.
"Ning Jing didn't come?" Xing Yusheng looked at Su Liang's dress. She was wearing Ning Jing's clothes, but smaller. Without the straw hat, she looked like a handsome boy with a jade face.
"He is at home." Su Liang said, "Prince Xing's face looks better than the previous two days."
"It's all your fault." Xing Yusheng said seriously, "It's more convenient for you to dress up as a man when walking around alone, but you still have to be more careful."
Su Liang knew that Xing Yusheng had misunderstood, but did not explain.
Xing Yusheng took out an exquisite jade token and handed it to Su Liang, "Ningjing's matter of taking the scientific examination in Bei'an County has been settled. Just bring my token with you. Whether he can pass the examination depends on him. own ability.”
"Thank you." Su Liang accepted.
The carriage entered the village and when it passed by Su Xingzhe's house, many people gathered around to watch the excitement.
Seeing Su Liang closing the curtain and looking out, Xing Yusheng asked, "Is this family having a happy event today?"
Su Liang nodded, "Yes, it's a great event."
…
The carriage stopped, Su Liang jumped out of the car first, and saw Ning Jing standing at the gate, looking over.
When Xing Yusheng was helped by Qi Jun and Qi Yan to sit in the wheelchair, Su Liang walked briskly towards Ningjing and gave him the basket and jade token.
Xing Yusheng withdrew his gaze and looked around.
This place is more simple and natural than Qiu Ming Villa. There is nothing special about the Ning family's house. It looks like an ordinary household in the village.
Xing Yusheng came today because he really didn't understand what attracted Su Liang here. She had no interest in becoming the god-granddaughter of the old lady of the Prince's Palace in Beijing, becoming a rich lady in the Prince's Palace, and getting riches and glory. She also I didn't grow up here.
In addition to the jade plaque, Xing Yusheng also brought many gifts.
Fine tea, ginseng, bird's nests, whole pieces of silk and cotton, precious antique vases, eight kinds of snacks, and a basket of grapes that ordinary people cannot eat or even see.
Qi Jun pushed Xing Yusheng through the door, and Qi Yan took the gift over.
"It's all prepared by grandma, please accept it." Xing Yusheng said.
Su Liang smiled and said, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders. Please convey my gratitude to the old lady for me."
In Ningjing's room, Su Liang gave Xing Yusheng an injection.
Ning Jing sat nearby and watched carefully, which made Xing Yusheng feel uncomfortable.
He had a good impression of Su Liang because he had never seen such a free and easy girl, and she also had real abilities and was independent and strong.
But Su Liang was married to Ning Jing, and Xing Yusheng had no ill intentions.
Although Mrs. Xing expressed regret more than once that Xing Yusheng missed Su Liang, she also really liked her.
But Xing Yusheng knew very well that whether it was Huang Waner who deceived people before or Su Liang now, Mrs. Xing just wanted to give him a concubine.
Xing Yusheng could stay away from home for a long time in the name of recuperating, but he did not have the freedom to choose the imperial concubine. Even if Mrs. Xing supports him, it would be in vain for Mr. and Mrs. Beijing to disagree.
He can refuse family arrangements and not marry a wife. But if you want to make it clear that the matchmaker is getting married, you absolutely cannot avoid the family.
Mrs. Xing even mentioned this morning that when Xing Yusheng's health improves in a few days, he should go home and his marriage should be finalized as soon as possible.
Even if Su Liang didn't marry Ning Jing, Xing Yusheng didn't think she would be willing to make a fool of herself.
And Xing Yusheng received the news yesterday that the Gu family of Changxinhou was executed for rebellion. The original fiancée of the Changxinhou Gu Ling family, Miss Nian, lost their engagement. Xing Yusheng's stepmother, now Princess Beijing, wanted to beg for her biological son. The marriage year is like snow.
Old Mrs.
…
The window is open.
As soon as she put away the silver needle, Su Liang saw Aunt Bai coming again, and Bai Xiaohu and Zhu Zhu also ran in.
Zhuzhu's little face was flushed, he had just run.
Seeing that there were guests at home, Aunt Bai was hesitating whether to leave or not. Su Liang came out and said that Ning Jing's friends were coming to visit.
Aunt Bai took Su Liang and talked about the latest developments in the farce at Mrs. Niu's house.
"I really invited the old man from the town to come! We all went to take a look. The old man looked around at Mrs. Niu's house and asked them about their family's zodiac sign. What do you think happened in the end?" Aunt Bai said, "You definitely can't guess it. Ask quickly. "I" look.
Su Liang asked out of curiosity, "Did the Taoist priest say there is a ghost?"
"It's broad daylight, and he can't even see a ghost!" Aunt Bai shook her head, "The old man said that Liu Huilan and Su Xingzhe were in conflict with each other in their zodiac signs! If they didn't separate quickly, Su Xingzhe would be in bad luck! Didn't you see that old face of Mrs. Niu at that time? , just like the rocks in the stinking pit!”
"I see. Then aren't they going to drive Liu Huilan away?" Su Liang asked.
Aunt Bai hummed, "Mrs. Niu was hoping that Su Xingzhe would become a high-ranking official. When she heard that Liu Huilan would harm Su Xingzhe, she immediately beat Liu Huilan out! She said that she would never be a member of the Su family again and never enter Sujia Village again! She also said Go to the county government today and transfer Liu Huilan’s household registration back to her natal family! Make a clean break with the Su family!"
Su Liang smiled, "It's a good thing."
"Who says it's not the case!" Aunt Bai sighed, "I hope she will marry a good family again!"
Su Liang didn't tell Aunt Bai that her most precious son Bai He seemed to be interested in Liu Huilan.
She acted secretly to save Liu Huilan's life. As for the marriage, she had no interest in brokering it and could not broker it.
Although Aunt Bai now truly sympathizes with Liu Huilan, if Liu Huilan wanted to marry Bai He, that would be another matter.
…
After Xing Yusheng left, Ning Jing suddenly said to Su Liang, "If you hadn't rejected Mrs. Xing yesterday, she would have arranged for you to become a concubine with Xing Yusheng."
Su Liang was not surprised, she felt it at that time. But when I heard the last two words, I was still stunned for a moment.
The idea of "being a concubine" made Su Liang feel a little unreal after traveling through time.
Later in the evening, Bai Xiaohu sneaked in again and told his own "gossip": his grandma was so angry that she almost fainted because his brother-in-law said that he wanted to marry the young widow who had just been driven away by Mrs. Niu...
Su Liang didn't say anything, but brought a box of snacks to Bai Xiaohu and asked him to take them back to eat with Zhu Zhu.
Human nature is very complex. From some perspectives, the superior Mrs. Xing is no different from Aunt Bai.
They are not stingy about releasing their goodwill without touching their own interests.
But if Su Liang wants to use kindness as a condition to become the princess of Beijing, Mrs. Xing may think that she is wishful thinking, even if she saves Xing Yusheng's life.
Aunt Bai felt sorry for Liu Huilan and hoped that she would marry a good family, but when it was her son's turn, she absolutely couldn't!
Su Liang said jokingly, "It would be great if women could also take part in the imperial examination. I will also find a good status for myself, so that one day I fall in love with a noble son and I won't have to be a concubine."
She doesn't think there's much of a problem with Mrs. Xing or Mrs. Bai. They each have their own positions.
Old Mrs.
Ning Jing said, "You can participate in martial arts."
Su Liang expressed surprise, "Women are allowed to participate in martial arts competitions?"
"There were female generals in the enemy country, and they once laughed at the women from the Qian Kingdom who only knew how to embroider, so the emperor allowed women to participate in martial arts exams, but so far no women have gained honors in the martial arts exams," Ning Jing said.
"Are you going to fight all the way to the capital one level at a time?" Su Liang became interested.
Ning Jing shook his head, "No need. Before the civil examination, all those who participated in the martial arts competition will go to the capital to compete and be selected. The only age limit is that they must be under thirty years old. Do you really want to participate?"
"Maybe, maybe not, we'll talk about it then." Su Liang said casually, "You seem to be very powerful in martial arts, how about we go out and have a fight?"
