Chapter 273 The One Near the Water Gets the Moon First
After putting everything away, Su Yue left the warehouse, locked it, and then walked towards the old lady's Shoukangyuan.
Go see the old lady first before going to see the eldest lady.
"Hello, Princess!"
"Hello, Princess!"
…
She met many maids, old women and servants along the way. They were all very happy to see her and greeted her.
Su Yue nodded in instruction one by one.
At the gate of Shoukangyuan, the old lady's newly appointed nanny, Nanny Zhu, stretched her neck to look, and when she saw a figure around the corner, she turned around and went in to report.
All the women of the Su family were in the room. When the old lady knew that Su Yue had come to the Marquis' Mansion, she called them here to prevent Su Yue from running around.
Knowing that she was busy serving the emperor in the palace, the old lady didn't want to tire her out when she returned to the marquis's mansion.
Nanny Zhu went in and bowed to the old lady: "Old lady, the princess will be here soon."
"Okay, then go to the kitchen and see if dinner is ready."
"Yes, ma'am."
Nanny Zhu immediately stepped back and went to the kitchen.
Su Yue arrived at the door and met Nanny Zhu.
"This old servant greets the princess."
"Excuse me, Ma'am. Is Grandmother here?"
Su Yue didn't know Nanny Zhu, but the person who came out from the old lady's courtyard must be the nanny beside her.
Nanny Zhu: "Princess, the old lady is here, as are the first lady, the second lady, and the second young lady."
"oh."
Su Yue raised her eyebrows, quickly entered the yard, and came to the living room.
As expected, the room was full of women from the Su family. As soon as Su Yue entered the room, Su Xue saw her coming and rushed towards her, hugging her: "You've been back for so long, and you only came today. I missed you so much, big sister. How are you these days?"
Su Yue patted her and said, "Everything is fine. Go pay your respects to your grandmother first."
Su Xue raised her head, followed Su Yue to the old lady, and saluted her.
"Grandma, are you feeling well after your return?"
The old lady smiled and said, "Very good, Grandma eats well and sleeps well every day, living like a pig. How about you, how are you these days?"
Su Yue pursed her lips and smiled, "As long as grandma is in good health, we are fine too. The emperor didn't make things difficult for us."
Su Yue knew that everyone was worried about her and Murong Li. Serving the emperor was like living with a tiger, and the emperor was a moody person. Who knew what kind of crazy thing he would do if he was unhappy?
The emperor did not make things difficult for them, but the boss of the harem made things difficult for her. Of course, she would not say this.
"That's good. Go talk to your mother. She misses you so much."
"Yes, thank you for your consideration, Grandma."
After Su Yue bowed to the old lady, she came to the first and second ladies, greeted them both, and then sat down next to the first lady.
Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu, who were standing by, were both concubines. They were the only ones who greeted Su Yue. Su Yue did not greet them, so Su Yue just nodded at them.
When Aunt Zhang and Aunt Liu saw her sit down, they immediately came over to greet her.
"My humble concubine has met the princess."
Su Yue waved at them: "No need to be so polite, go back and sit down, I'll talk to mother and the others."
"yes."
The two men responded, and after returning, they sat with their heads lowered and their faces submissive.
Su Yan also came over to greet her.
"Yan'er has met Big Sister."
Su Yue glanced at her. After being disciplined by her, the child became much more obedient, her behavior became more proper, and of course her values also became more positive.
Now his eyes were full of admiration for her.
"Get up. It's not convenient for me to take you with me right now. In a couple of days, when I'm free, I'll ask two maids from the palace to come back and teach you the etiquette and rules. What do you think?"
Su Yue said as she looked at Su Xue and Su Yan.
Su Yan's eyes lit up, and she said gratefully, "Thank you so much, big sister."
The maids in the palace are not someone that ordinary people can hire. They teach the princes and princesses, as well as the young ladies who have just entered the palace.
Only the royal family or the families of first and second rank officials can hire such a tutor.
If they were called in to teach them, people would look up to them in the future. Their rules were all taught by the palace tutors, and they are the same as those of the princes and princesses.
They all feel superior.
Su Xue was naturally happy. She sat next to Su Yue, took her arm, and asked, "Big sister, can we ask Sister Mei Ting to learn with us?"
"No need. I'll hire her another one when the time comes, so she doesn't have to run around all the time."
If Su Xue hadn't told her, she would have almost forgotten Luo Meiting. Fortunately, Su Xue reminded her.
Even if Su Xue and Su Yan don't want to learn, Luo Meiting must learn, because she is the future mistress of the Su family.
"By the way, Mother, Second Aunt, have my second and third brothers gone to study at the Imperial College?"
Now that I'm back, I've hired a governess for Su Xue and the others, and Su Ziming and Su Zicheng's study problems also need to be solved.
Now they have this right, it would be a waste if they don’t use it, otherwise it will become invalid after it expires.
The eldest lady shook her head and said, "She hasn't gone yet. She said she will wait until your father comes back to find the teacher at the Imperial College."
Su Yue waved her hand directly: "No need to look for it. Tomorrow my daughter will ask the emperor for a privilege and let my second and third brothers go directly."
The eldest lady frowned and looked at her: "Is this a good idea? Will it affect you?"
"No, this is just a small matter. You don't have to worry about the emperor making things difficult for us. He's not as difficult to get along with as the rumors say. He's just a sick old man. Just ask the second and third brothers to prepare. If there are no unexpected events, we can go tomorrow morning."
Su Yue was certain that the emperor would agree. This was just a small matter and not worth mentioning to him.
But she didn't know anyone in the Imperial College, so there was no need to go far away. It would be faster to go directly to the emperor.
No one dares to talk nonsense.
The old lady heard Su Yue say this and smiled, "That's great. Yue'er is so busy but still thinks of her family."
The eldest granddaughter is quite good. Although the title of Marquis of Anding has been restored, it is not hereditary. Once the old marquis is gone, the Marquis of Anding will be nothing. She has to earn the official position and title by herself.
Entering the Imperial College and pursuing a career in officialdom is the most direct way.
The old lady was naturally happy and would not object.
Su Yue smiled and said, "Grandmother, this is what I should do. We just came back and are starting over. I will definitely help in any way I can. I hope our mansion will prosper. If there is anything I haven't thought of, just tell me. I will stay by the emperor's side for the next six months. They say that those who are close to the water will get the moon first. I have to get some benefits, right?"
She would never give up any opportunity to gain benefits. Now was her chance. All the rumors were borne by the emperor, and could not be put on Murong Li.
It will not be so convenient in the future, as the censors will annoy Murong Li to death.
The court is most afraid of the monopoly of power by relatives by marriage. If the Su family is promoted without scruples and a bright road is opened for the Su family, it will definitely attract attacks from all forces.
