Chapter 183 Song Yue Remarries
Three days later.
The snow will stop, but the wind is still blowing.
A horse-drawn carriage drove slowly through the streets. The snow squeaked under the wheels. Suddenly, the horse's hooves stopped abruptly, and a puff of white air came out of its nose, and it neighed.
Seeing this, the attendant waiting at the gate of the palace was filled with joy and shouted excitedly towards the palace:
"Go in quickly and report to the prince that the young master has returned home with his aunt."
"yes."
In the study.
King Nanyou placed his black piece on the chessboard with a "click". He slowly raised his eyes to look at the purple-dressed woman opposite him, and said meaningfully:
"One false and one real, retreat to advance, this is indeed a brilliant move, but in the end, a tall tree attracts the wind, and it may cause trouble. My dear son-in-law, I'm afraid this move of yours is not appropriate."
Su Yuan nodded and said "hmm":
"My mother-in-law taught me that if you strike first, you will win. If you strike later, you will lose. The younger generation is young and inexperienced and can only think of this countermeasure."
After she finished speaking, she put the chess piece in her hand back into the chess basket, and spoke in a humble and respectful manner:
"The chessboard is like a court of intrigue and deception, and it is complicated. In the future, I will inevitably have to bother my mother-in-law for more advice."
King Nanyou smiled, waved to the servants in the room to signal them to leave, and then spoke slowly:
"It's a blessing in disguise. By removing Wu An, the second-in-command of the Imperial Academy, I can indirectly help His Majesty get rid of a worry."
At this point, she paused, tapped her own daughter-in-law with her finger, and said with a smile:
"I have received a letter from the king. When you are reinstated, you will be promoted to the rank of a direct scholar of the Imperial Academy. Although a fifth-rank official is nothing in the capital, it is a rare position for you to reach this position before the age of twenty. Hehe——"
Su Yuan's eyes flashed with a fleeting surprise, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and he smiled faintly:
"Thank you, mother-in-law, for letting me know. This is a pleasant surprise for me."
King Nanyou shook his head, stood up slowly and lazily, and raised his chin:
"My dear son-in-law, it's almost noon now. Let's go see how Qiu Bai and his son are chatting, and have lunch together."
Su Yuan smiled faintly, said "OK", and followed King Nanyou out of the study slowly.
All the way to the Yunduan Pavilion of King Nanyou.
Ji Qiubai was seen resting his head on Wang Jun's shoulder, acting like a little boy and acting coquettishly.
At this moment, he was happily saying something towards the door when he saw Su Yuan following King Nanyou in.
Ji Qiubai's eyes suddenly flashed with a bright light. He immediately left his father and ran to Su Yuan, holding her sleeve and said with concern:
"My dear wife, you must be hungry. My father just told me that he had asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of seafood early this morning, waiting for you to finish talking with mother and have a meal!"
Nanyou King looked at his little overlord's attentiveness, his phoenix eyes filled with smiles, he slowly stood up and said softly:
"Your Highness, my dear son-in-law, Qiu Bai is right. Now that you are out, please go to the dining hall to have lunch."
The corners of Su Yuan's thin lips slightly raised, and she nodded slightly to Nanyou Wangjun, and said softly:
"Okay, thank you for your help, father-in-law."
After the father-in-law and son-in-law finished their greetings, King Nanyou patted Su Yuan on the shoulder and was about to invite people to the dining hall. After a while, she suddenly frowned and asked in a low voice:
"Where's Shi'an? Why haven't I seen her for so long?"
Nanyou Wangjun turned his head and looked out the window, then smiled faintly and said:
"Shi'an is in a good mood today. While you guys were chatting in the study, he went out of the palace to buy Qianli Zui. He said that the wine in the palace is not strong enough. In winter, we should drink some strong wine to warm our bodies."
King Nanyou sighed and said:
"Then let's go to the dining hall and wait. Shi'an is very efficient and will be back soon."
The other three people in the room nodded and responded:
"Okay."
…
The next day.
The weather was warm and windy, and golden light shone through the scattered dead branches in the courtyard of the Su Mansion. The trees were draped with red silk, tied with each step. Although not gorgeous, it was festive nonetheless.
Just as Su Yuan told her father three days ago, now she and her third husband are both wearing red robes.
Song Yuezhong, in particular, was wearing a bright red wedding gown, a purple jade tasseled hair crown on her head, had a slender figure, and handsome facial features like a sculpture. Her narrow and long phoenix eyes were extremely enchanting, giving people a sense of nobility and elegance.
Following the emotionless voice of Gu Yang beside him:
"First bow to heaven and earth, second bow to parents, and then husband and wife bow to each other."
"The ceremony is over. Send her to the bridal chamber."
The two newlyweds finished their worship.
Of course, the step of sending the bride to the bridal chamber is omitted for the time being, and the whole family gathers together for a wedding banquet instead.
Father Su and Xia Fengyang sat at the head of the round table.
At this moment, he was holding Xi'er in his arms, who was wearing a pink and gold-embroidered jacket with a circle of fluffy fox fur on the edge, and he said happily:
"Xi'er is now four months old, and is growing older with each passing month. He has a good appearance at such a young age, and grandpa really likes him."
After saying that, he lowered his head and kissed Xi'er's fair and tender face, then raised his eyes to look at his daughter, raised the corners of his lips slightly, and said with a smile:
"All the important matters in the mansion have been completed. It will be the new year in ten days. Yuanyuan will go to the Hanlin Academy for duty tomorrow. I am afraid she will be able to return to the mansion to rest in a few days."
Upon hearing this, Su Yuan put down the white jade cup he was using to toast Meng Yunqiao, nodded and said "yes".
He glanced at Xi'er's confused eyes looking around, clapped his hands, stretched out his arms to Father Su, and said with a faint smile:
"Daddy, Xier, give your daughter a hug."
Father Su nodded slightly, handed the soft ball in his arms to Su Yuan, and carefully instructed:
"Come on, hold tight."
The other side.
Su Yuan took Xiao Xi'er, stretched out his hand and pinched his daughter's smooth cheek, and then continued to chat with his friend about the topic that was interrupted by Su's father:
"Although the Meng family has bought a new house in the capital, let's still come to the Su Mansion to celebrate the New Year together."
"Remember to bring your father-in-law and mother-in-law with you. The Su family doesn't have many relatives in Beijing. If they come together, it will not only make Yun Lan happy, but it will also be more lively with more people. What do you think?"
Meng Yunqiao raised her head and drank a cup of hot wine, then she stretched out her arms to hug her friend's shoulders and sighed:
"Okay, from now on, our Su and Meng families are both in the capital, so we should visit each other more often. Alas... ever since the government returned our Meng family's property, my mother decided not to return to Tongzhou, and used the money to open a shop in the capital."
"Nowadays, the Meng family has very few members. My parents don't usually say anything, but as a daughter, I know that they are not feeling well in private. It's good to have some fun."
Su Yuan pursed his lips tightly and patted his friend's leg soothingly:
"The yard is still there. If my father-in-law feels depressed, just let him move in. Having Yunlan here will be a comfort."
Meng Yunqiao nodded, then waved his hand, raised his glass and greeted Su Yuan:
"Well, no more talking. Today is your big day. Come and have some drinks."
