Chapter 260: The new girlfriend has a bad temper?
"It's in the pavilion in the middle of the lake at the back."
Good, very good.
Su Jin turned and walked towards the backyard.
After passing the Moon Gate, you can see people in the pavilion in the middle of the lake in the distance.
Su Jin's courtyard is not as big as the Yong'an Marquis Mansion, so the lake is not big either, it can be considered a small pond. There is a pavilion on it connected to a corridor, which occupies half of the lake area. These young people are divided into two groups, the women are in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, and the men are in the corridor, separated by a straw mat, so no one can see each other.
Su Jin thought about it and didn't go closer to take a closer look. Instead, he found a secluded place to watch.
The gatekeeper pointed and whispered, "That is Miss Song Zhen'er from the family of the Minister of Rites."
Su Jin looked around carefully.
This young lady is quite pretty, but her beauty is more of a heroic kind. She looks very strong at first glance, with a pair of bright eyes, and she is constantly looking at Gu Zilu.
Brother Lu didn't notice and was still reciting poems with his friends. There were quite a lot of people there, and Su Jin only recognized the young men at the banquet, including Luan Wu. There was one young man among them, and he should be the man that Gu Zilu mentioned, whose appearance was comparable to Xie Huaiguang.
Su Jin narrowed his eyes and looked at him carefully. This person could no longer be called a teenager. It would be more appropriate to call him a young man. He looked a few years older than Gu Zixuan, but his eyebrows and eyes were deep, and he looked a bit like a mixed-race.
Oh, it's quite pretty. The hair is not black, it's more reddish brown.
Su Jin admired it quietly, and the doorwoman said, "This is Tong Yuan, the son of the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. It is said that his biological mother is a vassal, and he seems to be able to speak the language of the vassal."
No wonder.
However, Su Jin had no impression of this person. He thought that he was just a cannon fodder like himself. Since the author did not write much about him, naturally no one would remember him.
But whether she remembers it or not, it doesn’t stop Su Jin from looking at handsome guys.
"Yuchuan, bring some snacks."
Oh, it was so good in ancient times. There were all kinds of handsome guys. Now there is a mixed-race guy. She must appreciate him.
However, before the snacks were served, there was a commotion at the pavilion in the middle of the lake. No one knew what the children were talking about, but they suddenly started quarreling. Then Song Zhener picked up the stool under her and threw it out. The stool broke the mat and almost hit Gu Zilu on the head.
Brother Lu, who was usually steady, just frowned in disgust at this moment. He spoke coldly and no one knew what he said. Anyway, it seemed that Song Zhener was angered. The young lady of the third-rank Shangshu family actually ran over and pointed at Gu Zilu's nose and yelled, regardless of the difference between men and women.
The doorkeeper was shocked and subconsciously looked at Su Jin: "Girl, this!"
Su Jin stood up and walked over.
"What's going on!"
Everyone was startled and turned around.
Su Jin didn't look like a woman in her thirties. She had just returned from the palace and was well-dressed. When everyone first saw Su Jin, they didn't know who she was. However, Luan Wu and the others had seen Su Jin at the Enrong Banquet and quickly saluted: "Aunt!"
"Aunt!"
The three people greeted each other at the same time, and then everyone realized that this person was Gu Zilu's mother, the extraordinary woman known throughout the city, the extraordinary person who divorced the Marquis's Mansion for the sake of her children.
Tong Yuan's eyes lit up, and his eyes were full of interest in Su Jin. After all, there were too many rumors about Su Jin, more than enough to make Tong Yuan curious.
But since he was born out of wedlock, it was not his turn to attend the palace banquets, and he had never met Su Jin.
"Calling you aunt is an injustice to your beauty. I think it's more appropriate to call you Miss Su Liu."
Tong Yuan came over with a smile and saluted, but when Su Jin asked Tong Yuan about his question, he slapped him in the face.
"Just call me auntie, do you hear me?"
Tong Yuan had deep and three-dimensional facial features. After being hit, he rubbed the back of his head with a grimace. He looked funny but not ugly. He was rather sunny and cute.
"Ah, then why can Master Xie call Miss Su Liu?"
Tong Yuan was obviously dissatisfied. He was already 21 years old, so why did he still have to call her aunt?
"He passed the imperial examination with three first prizes, can you do it? He climbed to the fifth rank in half a year, can you do it?"
The most important thing is that he is the male lead, and I love his looks. He is handsome and can do anything, do you understand?
Su Jin revealed the majesty of a mistress. Tong Yuan pouted on the spot, feeling aggrieved and thinking that Su Jin was unreasonable.
"What's going on?"
Su Jin ignored him and looked at Song Zhener. He had seen her heroic gesture of throwing the stool. No, what was going on? Did she just throw a weapon, such a big one at that?
Song Zhener's face turned red when she was looked at.
After all, she is a little girl, and Su Jin is Gu Zilu's mother, and will be her mother-in-law in the future. Song Zhen'er was naturally extremely ashamed when her mother-in-law saw such a thing.
She bowed first, then spoke: "Zhen'er greets auntie. This is my first visit, so I haven't prepared any gifts..."
The corner of Su Jin's mouth twitched.
"But, but I can explain what happened just now!!"
Song Zhener struggled hard.
"Just now, these men mentioned that people's livelihood is the most important thing for the country. I think that's not right. Are soldiers and horses not the most important thing for the country? For example, if there are no soldiers and horses to resist the Xiongnu invasion, no matter how much food we grow, won't it be robbed anyway?"
Su Jin: ...
"So that's why you threw the stool?"
Song Zhen'er's face turned red enough to look like blood was dripping out of it. She bit her lip and said nothing. But Tong Yuan, who couldn't sit still and was probably a born chatterbox, spoke up.
"Brother Lu said that she was too feminine and couldn't handle big things, and then the stool flew over. Sixth Miss, it was so scary!"
Su Jin turned around and slapped Tong Yuan again, finally making him behave himself. He also succeeded in scaring Song Zhen'er so much that she shrank back and slowly took a step back.
My future mother-in-law is so awesome.
Su Jin looked at Gu Zilu and said, "I am your mother. I will listen to what others say, but mother, I only believe what you say."
This one sentence gave Gu Zilu great confidence, which was also the reason why he resolutely chose to leave the Marquis' Mansion and live with his mother.
The young man said, "I didn't say that because of Miss Song. We have been discussing the history of the previous dynasties, discussing the interference of foreign relatives in politics, and discussing how the emperor did not respect the empress and favored concubines, which led to the country's failure and mismanagement. But Miss Song mentioned the military and politics in the quarrel. They were two completely different things, but they were mixed up, and finally we had a quarrel."
Su Jin: ...
Okay, I get it. If you say one thing, someone will say another. And it's quite capable that they can still agree on it.
No one spoke, and everyone looked at Su Jin, as if to see how she would deal with the matter.
Su Jin glanced around and said directly: "It's getting late, let's all go back."
Song Zhener bit her lips in grievance, looking a little lost. She felt that her future mother-in-law didn't seem to like her.
But whether she likes it or not, she resolutely turned back and said to Gu Zilu: "People's livelihood is important, and the army is also important. I will prove it to you."
