Chapter 256 hot potato
Zhao Su admits that he is a little bit of small city people mentality, showered with such a powerful fiancé, the first time to think about is how to put those small calculations first realized. Last time, she fought for the right to divorce if she couldn’t live with it, and this time she fought for her own name, so she was a little bit proud in her heart.
But the emperor seems to see out, squinting at her half a moment, then said: “I let you take what you want, you also do not think about how to give back to me?”
Zhao Su immediately peeled a chestnut and stuffed it into his mouth.
He put his face away, “I don’t eat this.”
“Then what do you eat?”
The emperor’s fingertips bumped on the desktop, then said, “Last time in Cangzhou, do you remember eating a rolled fish in oil, it’s not bad.”
Zhao Su specialized in cooking food, how could she not remember? But she said, “That is boiling oil scalded fish fillets, have to take the top fresh fish to be delicious, the best is a quarter of an hour to land the fish, that is called exquisite. Outside the fish transported to the palace, instantly live, are let go for a day or two, not that flavor.”
The emperor put away the fan, came to the spirit: “Then wait for me to finish these two days, let’s go out of the city to catch fish.”
“……”
……
Zhao Su mixed dinner in the palace before coming out, the meal was not made by her, but the improved imperial meal was quite tasty, she ate two bowls of rice.
In order to consume the food, the car arrived outside the gate of the palace and she got off, walking in the door. Just in the front yard, she saw a person getting into the carriage, and then the carriage was still heading out. And under the shadow wall stood Zhao Sum. After seeing the carriage leave, she walked over to him: “Where did this guest come from? You even sent them yourself, why haven’t I seen them before?”
Zhao Sum held his hand: “It’s a scholar from the south introduced by his third aunt’s husband.”
Zhao Su in the capital only an aunt, is the last time the Marquis of Qingyun about Chen Han in the teahouse to meet, used to excuse Mrs. Sun, she is the daughter of the second granduncle, her husband’s surname Sun, called Sun Lian in the Temple of the Light, the second granduncle of the room back to the ancestral home, in the capital on the branch of the Marquis is most close, so the relationship is not bad, and also have many weekdays to deal with.
But according to reason in the light of the temple Sun Lian should be with as a military general of them do not have any official business intersection is.
“Why will introduce us to the scholar?”
“Actually, it was the Emperor’s authorization.”
“The emperor?”
Zhao Sum looked around and stopped under the wall, “Don’t you know? The emperor has long wanted to train young scholars to serve the court. Some people in the court have been relying on the family to show the trend of the tail is not big, as early as two years ago, he discussed with the south of the Duan Wang good inside and outside, Duan Wang in these years in the secret for the emperor to identify potential young scholars, and the other day I went down to the south, but also for the do this thing.”
Zhao Su suddenly realized. “Then auntie this is assigned by the emperor?”
Zhao Su re-lifted his steps, “Recently, for the matter of the establishment of the Empress, aren’t some people unable to sit still? Back then, when the late emperor came to power, it wasn’t all an inch of land fought down, the former monarch was corrupt, and the late emperor had royal blood, those lineages that opposed the former dynasty chose to embrace the late emperor, so there were fewer wars to go around. However, they thought that without their contribution, the late emperor would not have been able to ascend to the throne, and all these years they have been claiming themselves as ministers of merit, waiting for the opportunity to hold the court. Auntie is not assigned by the emperor, but they follow our Marquis of Qingyun’s lineage, are supportive of the emperor, so this talent cited, naturally, is not strange.”
“By the way,” said here he said, “when the wedding date is certain, Guanglu Temple is responsible for the wedding banquet matters, then with the three aunts they have more opportunities to meet. I really did not think that at the beginning let us headache, worried about not marrying out of you, the result of a marriage married such a husband and son-in-law! I’m so angry!”
Zhao Sum’s words at the end of the sentence were really not good.
Zhao Su snorted: “The fruit wine I made earlier should be ready to drink, I’ll go take a look!”
Zhao Sum chased after him, “Keep it for me!”
……
The emperor’s pressure in the courtroom, Zhao Su can feel. When he knew that the two sons of the emperor were very supportive of him, as well as Marquis Qingyun, Sun Lian, and other large and small ministers in support of him, Zhao Su also gradually put some heart. Recently, the emperor and Marquis of Qing Yun father and son for these matters of government, attitude are more active to tell her, probably also to let her get used to the atmosphere as soon as possible. But obviously they did not intend to let her intervene, because these self-proclaimed man of the world, and did not want to let a woman to share the responsibility for them.
Zhao Su is not the kind of person who is not self-important, she is committed to doing her part.
Thinking about what Fang Qingxue said yesterday, she arrived at the court early.
Fang Qingxue came uninvited, holding a few pamphlets in her hand. Entered the door to them to Zhao Su official case: “Flower Moon will be the first ring held in twenty-one years ago, I’m going to say that this, just is that session of the literary leader. Her name is Sun Xiulan, a native of Tongzhou, her family is a local squire, and her family is prosperous.
“Twenty-one years ago, Sun Xiulan was eighteen years old, and at a time when all the ladies of the family were still afraid to show their faces, she was labeled as a husband-pleaser because her fiancé had died before marriage, so she hid from her family and took part in the tournament. And won the championship.
“When the Sun family found out about it, they felt it was degrading to the family and were going to expel her from the family, but officials from the Ministry of Ceremonies happened to be there with an imperial decree from the empress and all sorts of rewards to proclaim the decree, and that’s how she was able to turn the situation around.
“Then she became famous in the capital, and of course she was soon married again. After her marriage, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter. The rest needless to say, her daughter, also since childhood by her cultivation education, grew up very opinionated.
“But after the marriage, but not as comfortable as her mother. Her daughter’s name is Pang Shuyun, Pang’s also self-respect and self-love, and her husband is quite amicable, but one thing, and in-laws can not get along.
“Her first child was born a twin daughter, in-laws do not treat, even full moon ceremony has not been expressed, this Pang’s and in-laws quarrel, she complained that the in-laws look down on their daughters, the in-laws complained that she is unfilial, and then quarrel Pang’s actually miscarried, so it is unconsciously she has a second child.
“Now the in-laws blame her for not protecting her husband’s bloodline, and Pang’s mother, Sun Xiulan, thought her daughter had been wronged and sued the government.
“The government couldn’t figure out their family business, not to mention that a miscarriage isn’t a big injury in the government office, so they didn’t pay any attention to it. So it came to me.
“Whether we care or not, it just so happens that Lord Zhao is here, so please take an idea.”
Zhao Su thought for a moment after hearing this, and then looked towards Fang Qingxue, “I kind of understand, Lord Fang has picked up the hot potato and is throwing it to me in passing!”
Fang Qingxue paused briefly, and then also hemmed and hawed, “It is said that the three ignorant cobblers are the best of Zhu Geliang, and this is also because Lord Zhao happened to come to the town, so he came together to pinpoint one or two. Relating to the Flower Moon Society Kui Master, at this time in the end cannot be underestimated.”
