Su Xiaoxiao went to the backyard and saw her young and handsome father doing boxing in the open space. She couldn't help but wonder, "Dad, you got up so early?"
Su Cheng put away his fist, scratched his head and said, "Ah, I've been getting up early these days, I seem to be used to it. You should sleep a little longer, I'll go out to buy breakfast later, you don't have to make it."
Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly: "It's okay, I can't sleep anyway."
Su Ergou knew that she might be very busy in the next few days, so he suspended the order business from the Imperial College.
She didn't have to do much today, it wasn't much effort.
She made Ergou pancakes with mung bean cake and meat floss filling.
Breakfast is millet porridge and leek egg pancake.
While eating, she talked about finding a craftsman.
"...I want to partition the back room. I have drawn the blueprints. I need a lot of partitions. Let me find a carpenter first."
Da Hu suddenly raised his head and said, "Mom, you can ask Grandpa Liu to find a carpenter!"
Su Xiaoxiao asked: "Which household is it?"
Da Hu counted on his fingers: "Go to Master's house, the third one!"
Su Cheng was pleasantly surprised: "Oh, Da Hu can count!"
"Xiao Fu can do it too!" Xiao Hu said in a loud voice.
Su Cheng was happy: "How many can Xiaohu count?"
Xiaohu said confidently: "One hundred!"
Su Cheng smiled and said, "Xiao Hu is really amazing! Count for Grandpa."
Little Tiger began to count himself, Big Tiger, and Second Tiger: "One, two, three, one hundred!"
Su Cheng: “…”
Su Xiaoxiao was amused by Xiaohu, smiled, and replied to Dahu: "Okay, mom will remember it. Then next, we just need to find another blacksmith."
Da Hu raised his head again: “The blacksmith can find Grandpa Zhang!”
Su Xiaoxiao was slightly surprised: "Which family is Grandpa Zhang from?"
Da Hu pointed to the west and said, "Go that way, the first house."
That is the house that borders Zhuangyuan Street.
Su Xiaoxiao said, "I pass by his house every day, but I don't hear any iron-forging sounds. Are you sure he is a blacksmith?"
Da Hu said with absolute certainty: "Grandpa Zhang is a blacksmith, but his blacksmith shop is not here."
Little guy, you know a lot of information.
Thinking of something, Su Cheng pondered and said, "You and Doctor Fu are too busy, right? Do you need to hire a few servants?"
Da Hu said crisply: "You can go to Grandma's house last week and ask!"
Su Xiaoxiao's body trembled: Do you even know human teeth? !
After breakfast, Su Cheng returned to the horse farm to continue being a sandbag.
Before leaving, he secretly stuffed all his belongings into Su Xiaoxiao's school bag.
When Su Xiaoxiao saw the wrinkled banknotes and silver ingots of different sizes, her heart felt slightly warmed.
He didn't spend a penny of the money she gave him on himself.
Not to mention the money he earned himself, it's all here.
In an instant, the silver bills and silver ingots in his hands seemed as heavy as a thousand pounds.
At this moment, she suddenly felt that getting rich was not enough. She wanted to make a name for herself in the capital and lead her father to the pinnacle of life.
Su Qi and Su Yu came late and there was no breakfast left, but luckily there were snacks made by Su Xiaoxiao.
The two of them happily took Su Ergou to the Imperial College.
Su Xiaoxiao sent the three kids to Lingyun, and then Su Mo's carriage arrived.
Su Xiaoxiao remembered what happened yesterday and asked, "How did Wei Ting lead you away yesterday?"
Su Mo said: "He said he has something to discuss with you."
Su Xiaoxiao: "That's it?"
Su Mo said seriously, "Compared to him breaking into your boudoir in the middle of the night, it makes me feel more at ease to let him talk to you in the carriage at the palace gate."
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows: "Do you know...what is car sex?"
Su Mo looked confused.
…
Su Xiaoxiao did not inform Su Mo about the encounter with the Empress Dowager for the time being.
After she got off the carriage, she went straight into the palace.
Princess Jingning arrived early today.
After two days of taking the medicine, the pimples on her face were almost invisible. She still wore a veil because she was not good-looking, so she wore it on weekdays.
But from her smooth forehead, it is not difficult to see that she has recovered.
It's only been two days, this is amazing! Princess Jingning entered the classroom and found that the left table in the first row was already occupied.
Naturally, no one dared to take her seat, so it was Su Xiaoxiao's seat that was occupied.
In fact, the teacher did not stipulate any seating arrangements, and everyone could sit wherever they wanted. Only the seats for the two princesses were left unoccupied.
As a result, she had the confidence to make friends with Princess Jingning.
"Princess."
She smiled and was about to stand up to salute when she heard Princess Jingning say coldly, "Who allowed you to sit here?"
Hu Biyun was stunned.
Princess Jingning said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
Hu Biyun was embarrassed in public.
When Su Xiaoxiao walked into the classroom, the atmosphere was strange and everyone looked at her with complicated expressions.
She didn't care and sat next to Princess Jingning as usual.
Princess Jingning did not chase anyone away.
The daughters looked at each other in bewilderment.
If they were still speculating just now, Princess Jingning drove Hu Biyun away because she was in a bad mood today.
Now they all understood that Princess Jingning was simply angry that Hu Biyun had taken the position from that country girl.
What are you doing?
How did a country girl curry favor with Princess Jingning?
"Here, I made it this morning, it's still hot." Su Xiaoxiao took out a box of snacks from her school bag.
An enticing crispy aroma instantly wafted out, and everyone swallowed subconsciously.
Princess Jingning took the box and said, "Someone just sat in your seat."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Hmm?"
Princess Jingning added, "I chased him away."
Su Xiaoxiao: "Oh."
Princess Jingning: Your Highness is pampering you! Hurry up and flatter your Highness! There is a music class in the morning. Yesterday, Master Jiang notified everyone to bring their zithers in advance.
Su Xiaoxiao naturally brought one as well, the one that belonged to Xiaohu.
She had the little one's consent.
The desks in the classroom are not long enough, so classes are held in the outdoor corridor.
The palace servants had set up the piano table and futon early.
Everyone took out the Luan Zheng.
The Luan Zheng used by Princess Jingning and Princess Hui'an both have their origins and are two of the three famous Zhengs of the Zhou Dynasty.
Qin Yanran’s Luan Zheng is not bad either.
Lin Ruyue said, "Ms. Qin, your zither is so special... Could it be a firefly?"
Qin Yanran smiled slightly: "It is Liuying."
Liuying, a famous zither in the Western Jin Dynasty, although not as good as those of the two princesses, is the best among the zithers of the wealthy ladies.
Even Princess Lingxi's zither was outshined by Liuying's.
On the other side, Su Xiaoxiao also took out the Luan Zheng.
As soon as it was put up, someone burst out laughing.
Lin Ruyue asked gossipingly, "Ms. Li, Ms. Wang, what are you laughing at?"
The daughter of the Li family said, "Someone actually brought a broken zither."
There was indeed a cut on the tail of the zither, as if it had been cut by a sharp blade.
Princess Jingning went to the toilet and is not here at the moment.
Otherwise, people might not have the courage to ridicule her like this.
Qin Yanran took a look at the zither, her eyes moved slightly, and she quickly shook her head and said with a smile: "This Luan Zheng... is a bit like the legendary Nine Phoenix."
Jiufeng is the best zheng among the seven kingdoms. If compared with the three famous zhengs of Zhou kingdom, its nature is no less than that of a product that cannot be compared with another.
Its owner is Nalan Yun, a zither player known as the Zither Immortal. He is the most gifted zither player in hundreds of years. He became famous at the age of seven and was renowned in seven countries at the age of ten.
Rumor has it that he was from Northern Yan, while others say he was from Western Jin.
His identity is mysterious and his whereabouts are secretive. Three years ago, he was invited to the Western Jin royal family to present a song, and then disappeared.
Some say he retired, others say he died.
All in all, very few people have seen him, and not many have seen Jiufeng either.
Qin Yanran had only seen Jiufeng in a portrait.
Lin Ruyue sneered and laughed: "He actually brought a fake zither over here!"
Everyone looked at Su Xiaoxiao strangely.
That’s right, no one thinks this Luan Zheng is real.
After all, how could a country girl possibly possess the real Nine Phoenixes? Cute and adorable, please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!
