Chapter 62: The night before returning to the palace is heart-warming, and the morning after returning to the palace, the Su Mansion is disturbing
Old Master Su has a ruddy complexion and white hair, and he looks much better than usual.
In his hand he held the chair crutch that Su Changan had given him.
Although Su Zimu did not support his father, he followed him carefully, always paying attention to his father's steps.
Su Changan hurried out and looked at the two men and saluted: "Grandpa, father."
Yan Ruyu and Maomao on the side also came out and saluted towards the two.
Old Master Su smiled and said quickly, "I've said those clichés many times. You don't need to be so particular in front of me."
As he spoke, the old master glanced at the small luggage packed in the room, then looked at Su Changan: "Is it packed?"
Su Changan nodded.
Old Master Su smiled slightly, with some regret in his eyes.
We've only been together for a month, but I still can't bear to leave. After all, although it doesn't mean I can't come back, I will never be able to live directly at home like I do now, with him by my side all the time.
But immediately, Old Master Su threw all of this away and said with a smile, "Go in and talk."
Then the old master looked at Yan Ruyu and Maomao and said, "Commander Yan, Miss Maomao, can you let us be alone with the eldest girl for a while?"
Hearing the name "big girl", Su Changan was helpless, but he could only accept it silently.
Yan Ruyu immediately clasped her fists and said, "I'll be guarding outside."
Maomao nodded, and although he didn't say anything, he was about to leave.
But just as he turned around, he seemed to have thought of something, ran back to the house, picked up a medical book, picked up a candlestick, and ran to the stone bench in the yard and sat down.
Looking at the cat, Old Master Su smiled, but didn't say much. He just turned around and walked into the house.
Su Changan supported him on the other side.
Entered the house.
Su Zimu closed the door.
Old Master Su also sat directly on the chair and put the cane aside. He just looked at the cane, looked at Su Changan and said with a smile: "I took this cane to the court before, and I sat down directly when I stood outside Chengtian Gate. Those old guys looked at it and were very curious about it, especially the two oldest ones, the Grand Tutor and Lord Hu. They kept asking me where I got it. I said that my granddaughter made it for me, and they were so jealous."
Su Changan heard this, smiled and said: "It's still a bit crude, there are still many places that need to be improved."
Old Master Su said immediately: "You don't know, after Lord Hu returned, he asked someone to make one like this, but he just couldn't make it. He asked someone to come a few days ago and wanted to take a look. Can I let him see it?! Just figure it out slowly by yourself!"
Su Changan helped Old Master Su and Su Zimu pour tea.
Old Master Su glanced at the tea and continued, "But these are all off-topic. Zimu and I came here because we have something to tell you."
Su Changan immediately looked at Old Master Su.
Old Master Su motioned for Su Chang'an to sit down. After seeing Su Chang'an sitting down, the old master spoke up, "The Queen Mother is not easy to get along with. She let you go to the palace because she saw that your reputation outside was growing, so she had no choice but to let you go back. You are a smart child. I think you should have guessed that all of this was planned by His Majesty from the beginning."
Su Changan nodded. There was no need to hide this matter.
Old Master Su smiled with relief: "Your Majesty is a thoughtful person. She may be forcing the Queen Mother, the old tutor, or the Eighth Prince in the capital. But no matter which one it is, as long as someone asks, His Majesty will naturally agree to it, and I think he has plans for everyone."
"That day, Commander Yan came in person. I thought that His Majesty wanted you to know that nothing would happen after you return to the palace, so I won't say any more nonsense about your safety. After all, you are much safer in the palace with His Majesty's protection than in our Su Mansion."
"However, I still need to say a few more words of advice. A lot of things have happened to the Queen Mother. She has become a little crazy and often does things that are out of character. For example, she wanted to kill her own niece Li Xingyue before. No one would have thought that she would suddenly do this. Even if she had her own purpose, she couldn't do things like this.
So, if you can avoid contact with such a lunatic, don't do it. If she wants to see you, just say she's sick or something. Anyway, we all know that in the end it's either you or me, but now no one can do anything to anyone, so just do something for show for outsiders. It doesn't matter if you don't meet her."
"Then, the situation in the harem is also very complicated. You have to be more careful when you go in than in our house. Even with the female doctor, you have to be more cautious."
Speaking of which
Old Master Su laughed at himself and said, "Hey, I've been thinking about apologizing to you. After all, on the first day I entered the Su Mansion, the food was poisoned, and our people didn't notice it at all. It was all thanks to that cat girl. I, the old man, am sorry for this."
Hearing this, Su Changan immediately said, "Grandpa, you don't have to be like this. It's nothing serious after all. Besides, the situation that day was so complicated. And later I thought about it, I did something wrong that day. I forgot to write a sentence 'You have a disease in your head, if you don't treat it, it will be serious' to send it to the Eighth Prince. But I don't know the tricks here. If it were now, I would just write it and send it to him."
Old Master Su was stunned for a moment, but laughed the next second, then looked at Su Changan and shook his head helplessly: "If you really scolded the Eighth Prince for being mentally ill, believe it or not, with the little knowledge he has, he might not be able to see it at the time, but when he returns to the mansion and is informed, he will be so angry that he will smash everything in the mansion!"
Su Zimu also smiled helplessly on the side.
You have an illness at the head, if you don't treat it the disease will get worse.
The direct translation is, you have a brain disease, if you don't get treatment, I'm afraid you will die.
But to put it more simply, it is about whether you have a mental illness.
Old Master Su thought for a moment, then looked at Su Changan and said with a smile: "I didn't understand why His Majesty didn't let you get involved before. After all, it has come to this point, how can you not be involved? But after thinking about it, I thought it should be like what the late emperor said to the late queen, 'Life can be hard, it doesn't matter, as long as the beloved returns, it's good'. But after more than a month of contact with you, I understand."
"Her Majesty did have this intention, but what she was thinking about more was probably that she didn't want you to be involved in these dirty things. So, after entering the palace, although many things became more troublesome, at least I'm still alive."
"I've been dragging my feet for an old man. Miss Chang'an has been calling me grandpa for more than a month. Zimu has also been called father and mother by you. I'm really taking advantage of you. It's also because of the blessing of our ancestors that Miss Chang'an has been able to spend a month with us."
"So, after entering the palace, you may inevitably be troubled by the Queen Mother, but it doesn't matter. If you are wronged, ask someone to write a letter and bring it out. The old man is still alive. Although the Su family is not a powerful family, I can still do something. His position as the Minister of the Central Secretariat is not just a decoration."
"As long as I'm alive, I won't let you suffer any injustice. Even if I die, there's still Su Zimu and his brothers. At worst, I can pay some people in the martial arts world to take revenge on you. Otherwise, what did Su Zifeng and his son earn so much money for? So, once you enter the palace, don't think about enduring for the sake of the overall situation. It's all bullshit. It's not your turn. The overall situation is not that big. What's more, the Queen Mother is not a big deal. If you are wronged, just ask someone to send a letter. You must remember this. This is a big deal."
When speaking.
Old Master Su stood up slowly without picking up the cane.
Seeing this, Su Changan wanted to help, but Old Master Su signaled him to sit down and not stand up.
Su Zimu did not go to support his father, but just stood up and walked behind the old master.
Then, the old master looked at Su Changan and said, "There is something that should have been done a long time ago, but I wanted to wait and see. Now is the time."
Talking.
Old Master Su bowed with both hands, bent down, and bowed deeply to Su Changan: "I am Su Wenqing, your humble servant, and I pay my respects to the Empress."
Su Zimu did the same after he stood up: "Your humble servant Su Zimu pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Su Changan was stunned, but after a moment of hesitation, he immediately stood up and helped Old Master Su up.
But before he could say anything, Old Master Su said, "It's only a matter of time. I'll pay my respects to you today. When we go out, I can brag to Mu Xu and the others about it."
Su Changan was speechless after hearing this, but he still helped Old Master Su sit down, and then said: "If I call you grandpa, then there is no reason for you to worship me. Besides, father and mother are also very good to me. I can feel that they treat me well from the bottom of their hearts, without any other considerations. Besides, the name of big girl sounds more intimate."
Old Master Su looked at him with admiration: "If you can continue to call me that, then it is truly a blessing from our Su family's ancestors."
Su Changan smiled and looked at Su Zimu.
Su Zimu was stunned for a moment, then sat down again.
Su Changan thought for a moment and said, "I originally wanted to ask someone to tell you this, but it's too sentimental and I feel it's awkward to say it in person. But after thinking about it, I think I should tell you in person. I taught the dishes I made for you before to the cooks in my yard, and I told them to be extra careful when making your favorite dishes. But I also told them not to cook for you too often, because you'll get sick of it if you eat too much."
"If the scent of my father's sachet no longer smells good, please send a message to the palace and I will ask Maomao to make new ones for you. As for other things, such as the food that mother likes, and Linhan's favorites, Wan'er and Zhaoxin, I have already explained them clearly. As for other things, I thought about it. It's not like I can't come out of the palace. Yan Ruyu said that I can still come out for a walk when I want, so I didn't explain other things."
Listening to these words, Su Zimu remained silent and just looked at Su Changan.
He is not good at speaking or expressing his emotions.
He often heard his wife Su Liu talk about Su Changan, saying that seeing this child was like seeing her daughter who had died young, and she felt very close to him and felt like they were one of the family.
He also said something like, "Maybe God specially sent someone like this who is the same age as his eldest daughter."
But Su Zimu knew why his wife was like this.
After all, although so many years have passed since her eldest daughter died young, Su Liushi has always been troubled by the pain.
Now seeing Su Changan, who is the same age and has the same surname as me, and looking at Su Changan as my relative, how could I not have other emotions?
He understands his wife.
Because he has always had this thought, but he can never express it.
after all
Su Changan will be the future Queen.
Some things should be kept in your heart.
And when Su Zimu heard Su Changan's words, he smiled and his heart felt warm, especially warm.
But Old Master Su smiled brightly: "Let's go."
As he spoke, Old Master Su stood up and picked up his walking stick.
Su Changan helped from the side.
Su Zimu went to open the door.
After thinking for a while, Old Master Su turned his head to look at Su Changan and said, "You, sometimes, speak to people's heart. I came here tonight just to tell you that I am here for you when you are wronged, but you made it seem like we were going to part."
"Don't do this tomorrow with Lin Han, Wan'er and the others, especially your mother. Your mother and Zhao Xin. Your mother loves you the most. She has been very depressed these few days since you knew you were leaving. Zhao Xin and the others don't know yet, but that brat, although he looks fierce and unruly, loves you more than Wan'er. So don't make a scene tomorrow. It would be bad if you make so many people cry when you go back to the palace in a lively manner."
Finished
The old master took a step forward, glanced at Su Zimu beside him, and lowered his voice to Su Changan and said, "I almost cried just now. There is something else I forgot to tell you about. The tablets of your mother and brother. I know you have been thinking about this and have always wanted someone to do it, but you are afraid of something, so I had someone place them in the Yuqing Temple outside the city. Don't worry about it. Zimu and his wife went to pay their respects yesterday. I plan to go there the day after tomorrow and tell them about you. I think they should be very happy to see you like this in heaven."
After that, he said directly: "Okay, you guys pack up, we're going back. If there's anything, we'll talk tomorrow."
Having said that, he didn't allow Su Changan to support him.
After smiling at Maomao and then at Yan Ruyu, he walked straight out of the courtyard gate with Su Zimu.
Su Changan looked at the back of Old Master Su, thought for a moment, smiled, and finally sighed.
But on second thought, he smiled again.
I always think it’s pretty good.
But seeing the cat coming back, he thought for a moment and said, "Cat, do you know that the old master praised you?"
Maomao nodded without even turning his head: "Yeah, I know."
Su Changan immediately said, "Then you know why the old master and I often praise you."
Maomao was busy tidying up, still not looking at Su Changan, and just replied: "I don't know, but I know that the old master asked me to take care of you more, saying that you are very greedy, and it is inevitable that people will take advantage of this and often poison you."
Hearing this, Su Changan curled his lips, but was about to speak.
Maomao looked back at Su Changan with a disappointed look on his face: "But... what about the poison? In the past month since you were out, you have been poisoned more times than you were in the palace."
Su Changan frowned, then said seriously: "Miss Maomao, I hope you will be more careful about the way you talk to me in the future, because I am really sad when you do this."
Maomao looked at Su Changan, thought for a moment and said, "Then cry."
Su Changan hesitated to speak.
very good
Today is another day when I am bullied by cats.
…
Out of the Meiyuan.
Old Master Su looked back at the three characters "Yimeiyuan" on the gate of the courtyard, then looked at Su Zimu: "These three characters must have been written by you for that child back then."
Su Zimu nodded: "Yes. After all, I was born in winter when plum blossoms are in full bloom, so I came up with this name."
Old Master Su smiled and said, "After all, it was not in vain."
Then, Old Master Su looked at his eldest son with a puzzled look on his face: "Zi Mu, you said, it's only been a month, why do I feel like I have been with Chang'an for decades."
Su Zimu immediately understood what his father meant when he heard this, and said, "I think so too."
Old Master Su smiled and said, "After all, this girl is so kind. She looks kind and gets along even better. I even forgot how much time we spent together."
Su Zimu said: "Some people may seem like strangers at first glance, but become family members at the next glance. Perhaps this is what happens when you spend some time with a 'good person' like Chang'an. However, when will father let the fourth child come back? I always feel that Chang'an should be comfortable in the palace as early as possible."
Old Master Su turned his head and looked at Su Zimu: "Are you so willing to throw away the Minister of the Central Secretariat? Or are you touched by what the eldest girl said just now?"
Su Zimu was stunned for a moment, then said, "Both, but I feel warmer. I'm always afraid that something might happen to her. The palace is always more dangerous than the outside world, especially since the Queen Mother has such a temper."
Old Master Su shook his head. "No hurry. No hurry. Your Majesty's move is linked to the fact that the eldest girl saved Li Xingyue, forcing the Queen Mother to let the eldest girl return to the palace. Now, they should be the ones who are anxious. Go and tell Li Jiulang that I agree to his conditions."
Su Zimu nodded: "Yes."
Old Master Su looked back at Yi Meiyuan and said with a smile, "You said, some people's lives are like warm jade, and they are the best at warming people's hearts. What's the matter?"
Su Zimu thought for a moment and said with a smile: "The eldest girl should know."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Su laughed.
Life is like warm jade, it warms people's hearts the most~~~
My late emperor, your daughter-in-law is such a heart-warming person.
…
Early the next morning.
The Su Mansion exploded!
Because they just realized that they had been together for more than a month and were a little uncomfortable at the beginning, and even a little scared because of killing rabbits, but the more they got along, the more kind and lovely the eldest lady became.
Going back to the palace!!
In recent days
Whether the third master was busy purchasing and preparing things.
Or maybe the first and third wives helped put things away.
It’s all because the eldest lady is returning to the palace.
This moment
No matter if it was the maids or servants in the mansion, or the stewards and guards, they all had gloomy faces, as if they had only lived there for a month!
this.
Only then did they realize how nice and talented the eldest lady was. Not only was she very humble towards them, she was also extremely enthusiastic.
Especially when I made something delicious, I would share it with them. If it was not enough, I would even go to the kitchen and make more myself.
Don't talk about airs.
Even though they have such great talent and fame, they act as if they are nothing in front of them.
But why are we leaving so soon?
Su Mansion
After hearing the news, everyone became anxious and sighed.
Some of the braver ones ran to Yimeiyuan. Although they saw that the eldest lady had not woken up yet, they repeatedly confirmed the matter with the Chixia Army soldiers around them.
Finally, I plucked up the courage to ask, "Can I not leave?"
Some people also knew that their eldest daughter was going to recuperate. Although it was very strange, this eldest daughter could eat as many meals as others in one meal, and her strength was so great that it was terrifying. How could she be recuperating from an illness?
But think about it, the masters will definitely not lie to them.
But when I think about my eldest daughter being sick, I will make delicious food and fun things for them.
Everyone felt heartbroken.
Even though he was sick, he still pretended to be healthy and was nice to them, to the master, mistress, and old men.
I thought he must be afraid of making the old man and others worry, so he endured it.
And if you think about it carefully, the young lady's personal doctor goes to the warehouse to get medicinal materials every few days, and I think they are definitely for the young lady's health.
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that the eldest daughter was very filial.
But I also feel more and more sorry for this young lady.
Many of them were thinking of giving something to the eldest lady.
But inside the Su Mansion.
The people below are like this.
Not to mention the Su family brothers and sisters, when they heard the news, it was like hearing a bolt from the blue.
Su Zhaoxin was still sleeping when he suddenly saw his sister Su Wan'er running in crying.
I thought it was some blind person who dared to bully my own sister!
He jumped up immediately.
As a result, I learned from Su Wan'er that my elder sister was going back to the palace.
Not to mention it was a bolt from the blue, it was more like being struck by lightning!
