Duan Tingxuan was stunned, and Su Nuannuan asked hurriedly: "What did Siping say about this?"
Cong'er said, "Siping said he didn't know, so he specifically asked Eunuch Hong, but Eunuch Hong didn't know either. He only knew that the emperor was very angry and smashed a teacup in the imperial study."
Su Nuannuan looked at Duan Tingxuan, only to see her husband standing up. She frowned and asked in confusion, "Could it be that the emperor also knows about Pingzhang's matter? No, I only received secret information about this matter. The memorial from Hangzhou has not arrived yet. How could the emperor know about it?"
Su Nuannuan said: "It may not be because of Lord Long's matter. Excuse me for being blunt, but I'm afraid Lord Long is not qualified to make the emperor smash the cup, right?"
Duan Tingxuan thought about it and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "You are right. Well, I will go to the palace immediately and find out what happened when I get there."
Su Nuannuan put on the fox fur cloak hanging on the hanger for him and said in a deep voice, "You act according to circumstances and be careful."
If it were any other time, the young marquis would have been so happy to receive her care, but at this moment he was so sad that he didn't even care about this detail. He just nodded lightly and said, "I will. If I come back late at night, you don't have to wait for me. Just have your meal." After that, she left in a hurry.
Su Nuannuan stood at the door for a long time, until she saw Duan Tingxuan's back disappear, she sighed, came to her senses and saw the half bowl of unfinished ice cream, and was about to order someone to put it away. If those little devils saw it, I don't know how they would make trouble for me. Who knew that before she could say anything, she saw a woman running in from the courtyard door in a panic, kneeling down and saying: "Grandma, go to Meiyue Tower quickly, the greenhouse has leaked water and half of it has been burned. It has been put out now. But the vegetables and flowers are all burned..."
Before the old woman could finish, Su Nuannuan screamed. She had carefully watched the vegetables in the greenhouse grow every day, but she hadn't checked them today and most of them were burned. This was like cutting out the flesh of a foodie. She didn't even bother to change her clothes and hurried out in the snow. Honglian was thoughtful and picked up a sable fur coat and chased after her to put it on.
Suddenly, only Cong'er and Hua'er were left in Chunfeng Garden. Xing'er went to the sewing room to ask about Su Nuannuan and Duan Tingxuan's new clothes. Xiangyun and Honglian, who came from Meiyue Tower, followed them there. There were also two maids who were rarely in the courtyard during the day and only came to guard at night.
The two little girls were discussing the Meiyue Tower when they heard a childish voice yelling in the courtyard. They hurriedly got up to greet them and saw Duan Maochuan wearing a small cloak, walking into the room. When he saw them, he asked as if no one was around, "Where's the aunt?"
"Grandma has gone to Meiyue Tower. Master Chuan, please come in and warm yourself up. It's snowing. Why did you come here? Where are the other masters?"
Although Duan Maochuan was only the son of Aunt Jiang, Xue Zhilan and Xu Ranyun usually didn't take him seriously. But the two little girls didn't dare to look down on him, knowing that their master and grandmother treated all the young masters equally, so they welcomed the little guy in, served him hot tea and a hand warmer, and served him meticulously.
"It's snowing today, and the teacher gave us one class and then dismissed us, and told us to come back and practice calligraphy. My brothers have all gone back, and I remembered that my aunt had said that she would make me a pair of gloves that I could write with, so I came to see it."
Duan Maochuan said as he climbed onto the kang bed like a little adult. He used to be very afraid of this old lady. His mother said that it was very likely that this old lady was the cause of his falling into the water by the pond last year. However, since the old lady's birthday, several children were greedy for the snacks in Chunfengyuan and often came over. Su Nuannuan always received them warmly. She was not like Xu Ranyun, Xue Zhilan and others who always acted like strict mothers. She liked to joke with the children. Even when she was explaining things, she never had a stern face. There were also many stories for them to listen to, not to mention those snacks with new styles. Therefore, it was easy to win the hearts of several children. Duan Maochuan also became one of the "remember to eat but not to be beaten" army.
So even though he was a little cowardly, he was always very relaxed when he came to Su Nuannuan's place. He usually didn't dare to act unruly when he was with his brothers. But today it happened that his brothers couldn't come for one thing or another, and the little guy immediately felt a sense of pride in being the master of the house, so he went to the kang as soon as he arrived. It was just because it was cold in winter, so Su Nuannuan entertained them on the kang after they came.
"So that's why. Wait a minute, brother. Our grandma worked on it for a while last night. It will be finished in two days." Cong'er said with a smile, and went to the inner room to get the half-finger gloves that Su Nuannuan made for Duan Maochuan. Duan Maochuan's hands get cold in winter, but he still has to practice calligraphy. A few days ago, he didn't write because he was afraid of the cold, and was scolded by Aunt Jiang. He cried and complained to Su Nuannuan about his grievances. Su Nuannuan comforted him and agreed to make a pair of half-finger gloves for him.
After Cong'er went in, Duan Maochuan saw the half bowl of ice cream left on the table. He couldn't help licking his lips. He glanced at Hua'er on the ground, knowing that he couldn't eat to his heart's content in front of this little girl. Su Nuannuan had strictly stipulated that if they wanted to eat ice cream in winter, they could only eat one or two bites to satisfy their cravings, and no more. So he rolled his eyes and said to Hua'er, "I'm a little hungry now. Go to the kitchen and see if there are any snacks. Pick up a plate for me."
"You are so arrogant! How old are you? And you're already asking for a plate of snacks." Hua'er pursed her lips and laughed, but still turned around and went to the kitchen as she was told. There was no one in the room for the time being, so Duan Maochuan immediately picked up the small bowl in front of him and shoveled the ice cream into his mouth one bite after another. Even though his mouth was numb from the cold, he refused to let go: It's a rare opportunity to eat ice cream to his heart's content today, and no one is competing with him for it, so how can he not eat enough?
From this, it can be seen that the little guy is indeed Duan Tingxuan's son, and his talent for stealing food is no less than his father's.
After swallowing the last bite of ice cream in the bowl, the little guy shivered with cold, and then he saw Cong'er coming out from the inner room, holding a pair of half-finished gloves with longevity patterns on red satin. She smiled and said, "I've been looking for it for a long time. It turns out that grandma put it in the bedside table. Master Chuan, take a look. Six fingers have been sewn, and there are four left. You can wear them after they are sewn."
Duan Maochuan jumped up, took the gloves happily, and tried them on his own hands. Sure enough, after putting them on, the tips of his little fingers could be seen. He shook his little hands and laughed happily. He took off the gloves and gave them to Cong'er, then looked out for a while and asked, "When will Auntie come back?"
