Chapter 1203 Queen: Do you think I am a man?
Su Changan got the medicine.
Su Qingning's matter was put aside. After all, it was just a small matter and no one in the room took it seriously.
But just in case, Su Changan asked Lu Cai to check Su Qingning's eyes.
As for what Su Changan said, "Go back and cry in front of your sister-in-law," everyone had a lot to say, but when it came to their lips, even Su Wenqing couldn't say a word.
A family dinner.
It was arranged by Su Liu before she left, and they were all dishes that Su Changan liked to eat.
Surrounding the huge table of food, Su Zimu looked a little clumsy and wanted to imitate his wife and ask Su Changan to eat more.
But when he wanted to say it, he held it back. Su Zimu was like this before and he is still like this now.
Although he didn't talk much, Su Zimu kept his head down and helped Su Changan pick up food, while also not forgetting to pick up food for Su Linhan and others.
Just looking at Su Qingning's red eyes, he sighed helplessly.
Then he continued to look back at Su Changan eating.
Seeing her father like this, Su Linhan rolled her eyes. He was always like this, but Su Linhan also noticed that her father today
It seems that the way I look at my elder sister is a little different? But it also seems the same. I always feel something is weird, but I can't put my finger on it.
Yan Ruyu and Lu Cai were both at the table today.
Su Wenqing smiled and looked at Wu Daming who was eating happily, and then looked at Lu Cai.
Su Wenqing knew Lu Cai's background very well. When Lu Cai appeared beside Su Changan last year, Su Wenqing went to find Yan Yunxiao, and thus got the news about the child from Yan Yunxiao.
What a poor child too.
But he's also an amazing kid.
After going through so much, and having this mentality at this age, it is really terrifying.
Seeing Yan Ruyu chewing her rice bowl slowly, Su Wenqing was silent for a moment, then lowered his voice and said to Su Changan, "Did Ruyu completely awaken Yan Yunxiao's bloodline?"
Su Changan just saw Su Zimu clumsily put the boneless fish meat into his bowl, and wanted to say, "Dad, eat it yourself."
But after hearing Su Wenqing's words, his expression froze, and he lowered his voice and asked, "Bloodline?"
Su Wenqing nodded: "In the court, Ruyu has caused so many troubles, and many people are afraid of her. The younger generation didn't experience the nightmare that Yan Yunxiao had, but we old guys have experienced it."
Su Changan thought for a moment, then glanced at Ruyu who was staring at the rice in the bowl hesitantly, "She has been in a bad temper recently. She was not happy when I told her that she was fat."
Su Wenqing still lowered his voice, "When Yunxiao was brought back by the late emperor, she was about this age. At that time, she had just come out of Suiyang, and her hostility had not yet faded. Once she attended a banquet and acted casually. At that time, the Seventh Prince embarrassed Pei Nanzhi in public. Yunxiao didn't say a word, she lifted the table and smashed it on the Seventh Prince's head, then grabbed the Seventh Prince's head and smashed it against the wall, almost killing him. Since then, she has been attacking anyone she doesn't like."
After that, he added: "Many people say that Ruyu has reached the age and has begun."
Su Changan looked at Yan Ruyu and shook his head: "I was wondering why she was becoming more and more rebellious. It turns out that she is getting older."
The grandfather and grandson lowered their heads and talked in so-called whispers.
But in fact, everyone at the table heard it clearly.
The grandfather and grandson both looked ashamed.
Among them, Yan Ruyu had a bitter face and looked very aggrieved.
Su Wenqing saw everyone looking at him, coughed and raised his hand: "Everyone, eat."
Su Changan also acted as if nothing had happened.
Everyone was ashamed again.
Su Zimu smiled gently.
Su Qingning looked at Su Changan: "Sister."
Su Changan looked at Su Qingning, but seeing the girl's red eyes, he wanted to scold her, "Are you stupid?"
Su Qingning continued, "I heard from Uncle Lian that he will participate in the martial arts competition? And he said that all the great masters in the capital will participate?"
Su Changan nodded: "That's right, everyone will participate. After all, there are too many people in the capital, so it's up to you to take action. Whether you can gain any insights from it is up to you."
Su Linhan said, "When I was teaching the night class last night, people in the Imperial College were also talking about these things. They also said that you, Big Sister, would also participate?"
Su Changan shook his head: "I won't participate. If I participate, it will be a bit of bullying the elderly, so forget it."
Hearing this, everyone at the table looked at Su Changan.
Although they had a general understanding of Su Changan's strength, after hearing these words, their reactions were not as great as those of the old seniors at that time.
After all, he is not a gangster.
Su Linhan thought for a moment and said, "Yeah, that's right, just like when you attend a poetry reading."
Su Liheng looked at Su Changan: "Sister, you have to participate."
Su Changan knew what Su Liheng was planning, so he immediately said, "Get out of the way!"
Su Liheng: "Okay."
Then he lowered his head and ate while counting something, his fingers moving back and forth.
Su Qingning ignored Su Liheng and continued to ask: "Then Lu Cai and Sister Ruyu will participate?"
Su Changan nodded: "Yes, Ruyu will definitely participate, as for Lu Cai..."
Su Changan looked at Lu Cai, and when he saw Lu Cai looking at him, he said, "Participate as well. Lu Cai is much more famous in the martial arts world than you, Sister Ruyu. Where is the Blood Silkworm?"
Lu Cai's face turned red and he waved his hands quickly, wanting to explain, but he didn't know what to say.
Su Liheng's eyes lit up and he looked at the two of them.
But Su Qingning pointed at Wu Dameng and said, "Da Mengzi is also participating? Isn't she quite capable? What was the name of the one before, Mi something?"
Wu Daming shook his head while eating, indicating that he had forgotten too.
Su Qingning continued, "Anyway, it was that kid who was knocked down by Da Mengzi in just a few hits. And I heard from Grandpa Luo that when Wan'er is gone, Da Mengzi is one of the best among the younger generation."
Su Changan looked down at Wu Daming and said, "Just join us, just for fun. But if Daming wants to join us, let's go to the sixth-rank arena."
Wu Daming, who was eating happily, suddenly froze and looked at Su Changan with wide eyes.
Su Changan gently hit Wu Dameng on the forehead: "Although your master has not had any process of improving his strength, he has been practicing martial arts until now and has defeated people more powerful than each other. And your strength is enough to bully people in the fourth and fifth ranks. If you go to the sixth rank and play around, if Wan'er is not here, you might really be able to get first place."
Wu Daming swallowed hard and said, "But... But I don't know how to fight, and Wan'er said when she left that she would be back in time for the Dragon Boat Festival. Moreover, Wan'er doesn't let me practice martial arts. If she comes back and sees that I not only practice martial arts but also participate in martial arts competitions, what will she do if she gets angry and doesn't want to support me? She said that I don't need to practice martial arts, especially with you, Master. I can't practice martial arts. I just need to eat, drink and sleep. She will support me for the rest of my life."
Wu Dameng pursed his lips and said, "I've been practicing martial arts with you. I've already made a mistake, but now I'm going to join the competition. She'll be really angry."
Su Changan looked at Su Wenqing and said, "Master, Wan'er doesn't allow Da Mengzi to practice martial arts?"
Su Wenqing smiled bitterly and shook his head.
Su Zimu said, "Wan'er thinks that Da Mengzi will snatch you away, and she has always envied others who say that Da Mengzi looks like you, so she is afraid that you will accept Da Mengzi as your apprentice. She keeps telling Da Mengzi these things that are possible or not, and this girl is so simple-minded that she believes them all."
Su Changan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
This girl still does this?
Instead, Su Zimu looked at Su Changan and said, "Any news about Wan'er? Although your mother doesn't say anything, she is worried about you."
Su Changan said: "Not yet. What I know is the news brought back by Senior Brother Yu Jin and Sister Yu Jin. But according to the date, they should be able to return before the Dragon Boat Festival at the earliest, and after the Dragon Boat Festival at the latest."
As he spoke, he saw Su Zimu and Su Wenqing showing relieved expressions on their faces, and said with a smile: "Wan'er is very popular now. The old swordsman Jianshan who came to the capital not long ago stayed in the capital just to see Wan'er. Many old seniors are looking forward to meeting her, which is more amazing than me."
After that, he looked at Su Wenqing and said, "When she comes back, you can take her to show off to the group of seniors in the Prince of Yue's Mansion. They will all envy you."
Su Wenqing was in a good mood, which made him feel relieved. The most important thing in the world is to see his children and grandchildren have a bright future.
However, Su Wenqing shook his head and said, "My children in the Su family are more promising than the others. Girl, you don't know how many old people look at me with envy. Whenever they talk about their children and grandchildren, I'll go over and see who dares to say anything!"
Su Changan laughed, and the others at the table also laughed.
Su Qingning looked at the atmosphere at the table, pursed her lips and looked at Su Changan: "Sister."
Su Changan looked at Su Qingning and said, "Write me a royal decree prohibiting me from being forced into marriage. It would be best if you could stamp it with your seal."
Hearing this, Su Wenqing and Su Zimu looked at Su Qingning, wondering what this girl was thinking.
Su Linhan couldn't help but frown, but was about to speak.
Su Changan looked at Su Qingning: "Your sister-in-law's imperial edict is more effective than mine."
Su Qingning blinked: "Sister-in-law, can you write for me?"
Su Changan asked: "Do you dare to go and tell your sister-in-law?"
Su Qingning shook her head honestly. She really didn't dare to do that. When she saw her sister-in-law, she didn't even dare to look up at her, let alone speak.
Su Changan said, "When will you dare to go find her? Ask your sister-in-law to write for you. And I tell you, as long as you dare to ask her, she will definitely write for you. Your sister-in-law can be quite playful sometimes, and she will definitely play with you."
When Su Wenqing heard this, he thought it was nonsense. The imperial decree ordered people not to force Qing Ning to get married. How could there be such an imperial decree?
But seeing Qing Ning's wrinkled face, Su Wenqing said nothing. This girl, dare not
After the meal, Su Changan was not in a hurry to go back, so he naturally stayed here.
Su Wenqing, Su Zimu and the others had nothing to do, so they just sat aside.
Su Linhan had been holding back from saying anything, but after dinner, she finally couldn't help it and took Wu Daming's unfinished "Praise of the Humble House" to Su Changan.
Su Linhan has a refined personality, unlike Su Qingning who is carefree. She felt a little nervous when looking at Su Changan.
Su Changan saw it, glanced at it, then took a pen and wrote down the full text.
Su Wenqing and Su Zimu also went to read it. Although they didn't reveal the truth, they were also curious about what the unwritten part was.
In fact, it is more than half an article.
Su Changan simply wrote a few sentences from "Praise of the Humble Cottage" and gave them to Wu Daming, asking her to practice writing according to his own handwriting.
After all, my own handwriting is said to be a kind of calligraphy, so my apprentice must learn it.
Su Changan wrote the entire article with great enthusiasm.
Su Wenqing squinted his eyes and smiled, "This is a humble room, but my virtue is fragrant. You haven't written an article in a long time, and this time it's another article that will be passed down through the ages. You see, I'm not surprised now. If Tian Gui hadn't left and read this article, he, the Minister of Works, would have cried."
The Lingqi Pavilion is actually very small, and there are many courtyards like it in the huge imperial palace.
Isn't it just a 'humble room'?
But the Queen and His Majesty live there.
Moreover, these days, many people have been talking about the fact that this girl and His Majesty have no money.
I wrote this article out of inspiration.
Su Wenqing looked at the article and said, "Linhan, copy one for me, and then copy another one to take to the Imperial College for Mu Xu."
After saying that, he glanced at Su Zimu who was clutching his sleeves, cursed in his heart, and then looked at Su Changan: "Walk with grandpa and your father? It's a way to help digest the food."
Su Changan nodded.
Although Su Qingning and Su Liheng still had a lot to say, they didn't stop her. After all, the elder sister said that they could leave immediately.
Walking out of Yimei Courtyard and slowly along the flower garden, Su Wenqing said softly, "The money that Li Heng got from the five major Hu merchants in the Western Regions this time has all been put into the national treasury. According to His Majesty's intention, it is to prepare for floods or droughts this year. Therefore, the money that should have gone into the palace has not been put into the inner treasury. Even if you have sent away two-thirds of the people in the palace, you still have to support so many people. It's difficult. It's difficult to support the expenses of a large courtyard, let alone the palace. There are thousands of people to support. The money goes away every day like water. I have been looking for a chance to tell you before, especially when I saw that you lost so much weight last time, but I didn't find a chance. Today I will make it up to you, girl."
Su Wenqing turned her head to look at Su Changan: "At that time, before you entered the palace, although we just met, I saw that you were very considerate and you always called me grandpa, so I treated you as my own granddaughter. At that time, I told you to come back and tell me if you were wronged in the palace, but now, I have never heard you tell me how many grievances you have suffered. You, your family is not just for show, can't you tell us?"
When Su Changan heard this, he looked at Su Wenqing in confusion, "What injustice have I suffered?"
But thinking about this, Su Changan's expression and words of grievance did seem to be true!
Eighteen taels of silver!
My! My private savings! The old lady spent all the money and only had three copper coins left. What’s more, she even returned the three copper coins to me. How arrogant!
only
Looking at Su Wenqing, I'm telling you this grievance, but you can't handle it. Even my wife can't handle it.
Su Wenqing continued, "I'm not talking about you. It's just that Grandpa feels bad when he sees you become so thin. Do you understand?"
Su Changan nodded.
Su Wenqing was not a chatterbox. He looked at Su Changan and said, "Alright, you won't listen to me no matter how much I say. I just want to tell you that I am really angry about this matter. I was ready to scold you today, but Tian Gui interrupted me."
Su Changan said: "How about you train him now?"
Su Wenqing frowned: "The atmosphere is gone, what's the point of scolding! And your father wants to talk to you, you two can talk, I'll go to the front and wait for you."
After saying that, the old man turned around and said, "You are a father now, and you still want me to help you with this. It's unfair."
Su Zimu looked at Su Wenqing's back and then looked at Su Changan with some embarrassment.
Su Changan looked at Su Zimu: "Dad?"
Su Zimu hesitated for a moment and looked at Su Changan: "I am"
As he spoke, Su Zimu took out a hairpin from his sleeve. It was made of peach wood and was polished very smoothly. The style was very elegant and classical, and there was round and warm jade on it, which means as warm as jade.
Su Zimu said: "I don't know whether your biological father gave you this hairpin when you came of age, but I thought I should make one for you. After all, I am your father, and this is what I must do and what I should do. That's me."
Su Zimu was very nervous, and his hand holding the hairpin looked stiff.
In the past, he only thought of Su Chang'an as a woman, so when he first met Su Chang'an, he gave her a hairpin, and Su Liushi helped Su Chang'an to get married, which was something the couple did secretly.
After all, he is just a godfather, but he has to do such a thing. I don’t know if I am qualified.
But now that he knew that Su Changan was a man, and this was the first time they met since he knew that Su Changan was a man, Su Zimu had been nervous these days.
She also selected the finest peach wood to make a hairpin by herself. Although she was over twenty years old, she had not yet attended the ceremony of coming of age.
Su Zimu wanted to make up for it to Su Changan, but he was worried. Firstly, his wife was not around, and secondly, he was not good at speaking. What if Changan didn't want it or rejected it?
Su Changan looked at Su Zimu, and even more at the smooth hairpin. After Su Changan smiled gently, he reached out and casually fixed his hair, then looked at Su Zimu.
Su Zimu was stunned for a moment, and he already knew what Su Changan meant. He raised his hand and inserted the hairpin on Su Changan's head, and said softly: "Without a single word, you are full of romance."
There is no word engraved on the hairpin, simply because it is so beautiful and gorgeous.
Su Changan looked at Su Zimu: "Do you think I'm a man?"
Su Zimu was relieved and even a little happy, but when he heard Su Changan's words, his expression was stunned: "Yes, you are the man"
Hearing this, Su Changan looked at Su Zimu and said, "Give me a hug!"
Su Changan was really touched!
There are few people who treat themselves as men and look down on others!
Excited!
happy!
Su Wenqing saw this scene and smiled lightly. He glanced at the hairpin on Su Changan's head and glared at his eldest son with disgust, "You bastard, you made a hairpin for men?"
