Chapter 296.
Since it is “gossip”, then Zhao Su does not need to put it on her mind, or first care about how to solve the Cheng family side is important, tomorrow morning she will go to the Cheng family to visit, but she would like to invite Zhao Ha to go together.
The Ministry of Public Works because every time to take money from the Ministry of the household, and the Ministry of the household can not help but to establish a few points of face love. Su Changying’s grandfather used to be the Minister of the Household, and he had a lot of disciples. Cheng Lang was working in the Ministry of Public Works, and he often went to Su’s house, and he had to entertain Zhao Ha, the youngest grandmother of Su’s family who was about to get married.
Although Zhao Su is the Queen-to-be, the real dealings in the future will definitely be with these brother Yamen, pulling on Zhao Ha, but also an extra mouth to chat.
Zhao Su to the kitchen, the cooks have already prepared the ingredients almost.
Su Changying sent the fish is quite fat, not particularly large, two or three pounds a, used to make pickled fish is most suitable. Crab also has four or five taels a weight, although there is no yellow, meat is quite full, steam it two cages, and then do two pots of spicy crab, wild mushrooms and wild chicken are fried.
In addition, with a few home cooking dishes, the aroma overflowed out of the kitchen, the yard outside the yard smelled people are drooling. Zhao Su and Zhao Han could not help themselves, jumped into the kitchen and asked for a bowl of chicken rice flower before leaving.
The first thing you need to do is to get a good deal of money to pay for the services of the company, and you will be able to get a good deal of money from the company. A while later, Zhao Bin also came, ate two cups of wine, grilled a crab, flirted with Yu for a few moments, and also left.
After the banquet, Zhao Ha has completely disregarded the image of holding up the belly, she and Zhao Su walking along the way, through the bamboo forest under the green stone path, there is no one else, Zhao Su invited her to go with the Cheng family to visit the idea said.
As expected, Zhao Ha said: ”A few days ago, I went to Xiangguo Temple with my mother to visit the incense, and ran into Mrs. Cheng, and she even greeted us. But why would you think of visiting the Cheng family?”
“Their third girl was being pitted by her maid, and it just so happened that I ran into her and relieved them, so I went there twice for that matter. And because their family and the Tang family had a marriage contract, these two families are not the empress dowager brought out of the people, so I would like to care about this idle matter.”
Zhao Ha Purse laughed: “This is not yet over the door it, worry about the in-laws of the matter to come?”
“Come on, second brother-in-law is not enough for you?”
“I’ll go along with you, I’ll go along with you. Who let me eat people soft mouth? ……”
Bamboo leaves rustling with the wind, gradually drowned out the sound of the two sisters talking and laughing.
The next day after breakfast, Zhao Su went up to Changfang to look for Zhao Ha.
Yu’s see the two of them accompanied out, could not help but ask where they were going, I heard that it was to the Cheng family to visit the door, and immediately understood, did not say anything, but looked at the back of the calm Zhao Su, gradually stared at both eyebrows.
“What is this looking at?”
Xing’s just happened to walk by and curiously asked about her daughter-in-law.
Yu gave a bow and pointed at the distant back, “I’m looking at sister Su. What a simple child, Lord Yanping County will soon be entering the capital, and she’s still unaware of it.”
Speaking of this, Xing also converged color, but she said: “It is not necessarily what you think, the empress dowager has been Yanping county master as a daughter to raise, she and the emperor’s age is close to, perhaps just to the emperor as a brother.”
“Mother said yes. Just think of Yanping county master originally in the palace to live well, see to the empress dowager should give her to the time of marriage, and this time she suddenly left the capital, always let a person’s heart a little unsure. Such a decision is still a bit strange.”
Xing murmured without saying a word.
“Earlier in the court, there were many people who opposed Sister Su’er becoming the Empress, and this return of County Lord Yanping – she is an impeccable candidate for the Empress regardless of her family background, talent, and character, so will this return affect Sister Su’er’s marriage?”
“How could it?” Xing gave her a look, “The emperor is not that kind of person, the empress dowager is not that kind of person.”
“But ……”
Yu was about to say something. As the great young grandmother of such a family, she knew that there were some things she could say and some things she could not. However, before this marriage was finalized, this was not a problem at all. Once it was finalized, it wasn’t just a matter between young children, but concerned the entire Zhao family.
Yanping County Lord’s identity, that can be more weighty than the Luo family sisters, the key is that her status in front of Empress Dowager Lu is also not general ……
According to Zhao Su’s temperament – if something goes wrong with this marriage, then how will the Zhao family be able to live with themselves?
“Don’t but it.” Xing slowly stepped forward, “Those who opposed Sister Su at first, on the one hand, they didn’t want the future Empress to succeed the Empress Dowager’s aspirations,on the other hand, they were also afraid that the Marquis of Qing Yun’s family would be dominant, and afraid that our Zhao family would become the Emperor’s solid backing, making it possible for the Emperor to set them aside.
“No matter which way we say it, our potential threat is still there.
“But at this time we should even more tightly screw together with the Emperor and the Empress Dowager, there is no turning back, at least we should understand one thing, if the Emperor is determined to set up Yanping Sheriff Master as the Empress, then he doesn’t need to wait until now.”
Yu followed behind, pursed her lips and nodded.
“But it’s still necessary for us to be careful,” Xing paused in her steps, “No one can say for sure what hasn’t happened. Sister Su’er is a member of our family, and we are supposed to watch out for her from the sidelines when it comes to her lifelong matters.”
“That is exactly what my daughter-in-law means.”
……
Receiving the news of Zhao Su’s sisters’ visit, Mrs. Cheng personally welcomed them out the door. Having relied on Zhao Su’s intervention to successfully preserve the silver in Cheng Xiaoyun’s hands on the previous occasion, and later on, having exposed Ju Ying as a major internal thief, Mrs. Cheng felt a little bit of heartfelt affection towards Zhao Su.
“The two of you came here, I didn’t even have time to make preparations, luckily there happened to be melons and fruits that were only just shipped from the West, they are fresh!”
“You don’t have to be polite, ma’am, both of us didn’t treat ourselves as outsiders.” Zhao Ha smiled and took Zhao Su up the steps, “Since I heard that Miss Zhu was not feeling well, the two of us came over to relieve her of her boredom.”
Mrs. Cheng sighed when she heard this, her own second son who had been sick for a long time had died not too long ago, her entire body was emaciated, at this point she said nothing and led them towards Cheng Zhu Yun’s courtyard.
“Girl what are you doing ah! Mrs. …… would know how sad she would be!”
Having only just arrived at the courtyard’s entrance, the maid’s soft sobbing could be heard coming from inside through the hidden door.
Several people’s footsteps suddenly stopped. Inside the house, Cheng Zhuyun’s voice sounded again, “If it wasn’t for me, why would father and mother have to suffer like this? I’m afraid that second brother wouldn’t have left so early. You return the scissors to me, my mind is made up, no one can persuade me!”
“What are you doing!”
As the words fell, Mrs. Cheng had already pushed the door in three steps!
