Chapter 214: Full Moon Party
Su Shengsheng understands the principle of equal exchange.
Although she also wanted to take control of the gas field, the gas field resources must belong to the country regardless of which dynasty.
As Xie Xuan said, it is a place that military strategists must fight for.
She didn't want to gamble with herself, so naturally she couldn't let Xie Xuan take risks for her.
So, she didn't respond.
The day of Xiao Ningxuan's full moon banquet was very lively.
Although this child is a girl, she is able to endure hardships.
When the baby was three months old, he was exiled along with his mother.
He was less than a month old when he fled with his family.
My sister-in-law didn't do a good job of taking care of herself during the confinement period. Although she took two months of supplementary care, her complexion still hasn't recovered.
Su Shengsheng felt distressed when she saw this.
She was even more indignant about Emperor Gou's decree requiring the women to do hard labor as well.
But my sister-in-law had a close call with death and has become much more open-minded.
She believed that the Su family was doing the right thing.
No matter what others think, no matter how much hardship the women in the family have to endure, the eldest sister-in-law said that she always has a lot of energy but nowhere to use it.
"How can this child, who is so young, wear such expensive jewelry?"
When Mrs. Cen saw Su Shengsheng put a ball of white jade silk into Ningxuan's little hand, she was startled and quickly declined.
She also comes from a famous family, so she naturally knows the value.
What Su Shengsheng gave her was the priceless white jade twisted silk ball given to her by the Ningguo Mansion.
Little Ningxuan's pink and tender little hands were holding the jade bracelet that could make sounds, and she was having so much fun playing with it that she refused to let go.
Where did Cen get it?
Su Shengsheng wiped the little Ningxuan's mouth, which was covered with bubbles of milk, and said, "No matter how valuable it is, it is not as valuable as our little Ningxuan."
Without waiting for her sister-in-law to refuse, Su Shengsheng asked Qing Ning to take a piece of century-old ginseng and said, "Now that you are a mother, sister-in-law, don't treat yourself badly."
Cen's tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked up for a while and said, "Thank you so much, sister."
The family business is in trouble now. Although Su Shengsheng provides all the food and clothing, she is exhausted from taking care of the young children.
Although Cen tried to hold on, she was always powerless.
True friendship is shown in times of adversity, and Jiao was also crying beside her.
Suddenly remembering something, he pulled Su Shengsheng over and asked quietly, "General Zhang's payment for the goods has just arrived. Look at this..."
The imperial decree has already searched the house, so they are not hiding anything.
But this matter involved General Zhang, and the women were not in a position to make the decision, so they had to ask Su Shengsheng first.
"Just tell others that it's an advance payment." Su Shengsheng naturally understood the dilemma of the female relatives at the moment.
She originally planned to...
Why!
Now that someone has caught me, I should make some money first.
Jiao's dull face suddenly brightened up.
All the Su family's property was confiscated. Although Su Shengsheng had saved some personal money, it was still not enough to buy a house.
With this money, they can make a comeback.
Su Shengsheng rarely came back, and when she saw the eldest wife asking questions, Mrs. Li quickly pulled her daughter aside.
"I heard from Qingning that your period is half a month late, but are you pregnant?" Mrs. Li was afraid that her daughter would not know the seriousness of the matter and would not know her limits.
Su Shengsheng's face turned dark.
Why does my mother always bring up things that are not related to the topic?
"No, no." Su Shengsheng was afraid that Xie Xuan outside would hear it, so she denied it again and again.
"What's there to be shy about? Really, I can't even ask you." Li was pushed by her daughter and started complaining again.
"Let me tell you, there's no elder in the palace to advise you. You can't just go along with General Xie on everything. You need to ask the doctor first."
Su Shengsheng's face turned red, but she didn't dare to cover her mother's mouth, so she pushed her back into the house.
She was tidying up her clothes and wanted to go outside to see Brother Heng, when she ran into County Magistrate Sang who had been waiting for her at the corner.
After returning from the desolate mountains, County Magistrate Sang did not sleep the whole night.
At this moment, he had two dark panda eyes and looked pitifully at the Princess Xuanming who had made a fool of him.
Xie Xuanren was sitting in the hall, but how could he have the courage to step forward and say, "Your princess is too arrogant, I have to report her to the higher authorities?"
This stopped Su Shengsheng, and County Magistrate Sang suddenly opened the gate, "...Princess, this humble official's job is really difficult, please don't..."
Before he could finish his hesitant words, Su Shengsheng understood. "If you didn't discover it, it would be dereliction of duty. If you discovered it and concealed it, it would be shielding. I know it, so just report it, sir."
?
Knowing you still do this...
County Magistrate Sang's throat was so hot that he was unable to speak. "Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. Do you have any further instructions?"
Since Su Shengsheng admitted it honestly, there must be something waiting for her.
"At that time, I just wanted to make a contribution and help the Su family get rid of the service."
Such a straightforward intention made County Magistrate Sang twitch his lips. "I will definitely report this matter later. I hope I can help the princess."
If there were no imperial edict, there would still be hope.
But this time the emperor issued such an order that no one could be sure.
Su Shengsheng just nodded.
It's like if an ancient tomb is discovered under your ancestral home and they want you to move the land, you have to show some appreciation.
Otherwise, what's the difference between us and bandits?
Even though the emperor was coveting this and she had no reason to seize state assets, there had to be an explanation.
She is neither too old nor too young now, and she is also a princess.
Seeing that Su Shengsheng had passed this test so easily, County Magistrate Sang wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with his sleeve and said goodbye with a smile.
But after taking a step, he pouts back, "...Princess, I wonder if the prince has reported this telegram to his superiors?"
Is this just to pick on her?
Su Shengsheng said coldly, "I am just a woman, how can I know about the general's military affairs?"
This thing was a favor she had returned to Xie Xuan, but who knew he would accept it and not let her go.
When talking about this, Su Shengsheng became furious.
Without waiting for Magistrate Sang to respond, she left.
"Being a princess is different." County Magistrate Sang was watching from behind, and when he turned back to the hall, he made a bitter face.
That King Xuanming is not easy to deal with.
But if he doesn't ask and reports it to someone, then he, a small official like him, will never be able to have a safe place to stay in this border area again.
County Magistrate Sang put on a bitter face and went in with his head held high.
Su Shengsheng had just come out to take a breath when Yun Xiang and Yun Yi pulled her over again.
"It's a beautiful day today, but the Fourth House is causing trouble. They say they've been starving Miss Seventh these past few days and she fainted from hunger."
The men were not around at the moment, and Yunxiang and Yunyi were following Li, knowing that she didn't want to see Su Nianwei.
But it is impossible for the Su family to let a little girl starve to death.
Yunxiang looked helpless. "I went to see her too. Miss Seventh seemed to have no desire to live. She refused to eat even when given food. She only said she wanted to see the princess."
Su Nianwei wants to see her?
Su Shengsheng asked herself, she had nothing to say to her anymore.
But if she ignores it, it will fall on her mother.
Seeing that there was a constant stream of people giving gifts, and fearing that the banquet would take some time to start, Su Shengsheng wanted to go and see her first.
Yunxiang and Yunyi were worried about her going alone, so they ran to find Zaiqing and only then did they feel relieved.
Unexpectedly, it alarmed Xie Xuan inside.
"Where are we going?" Xie Xuan looked at Su Shengsheng, who was wearing a cloak and holding a hand warmer.
"Seventh sister wants to see me, it's not convenient for the general to go, why don't you stay in the hall and help receive the male guests."
After hearing this, Xie Xuan stopped.
