Chapter 265 A fire
There is no need to guess what happened next. The person who had been dead for a long time turned into a life again. Not only did he survive, he was also granted titles and titles, and had a prominent reputation.
Zhao Changqing ordered Yongfu to put away the files of the Chu family case that had been half read. He heard Ling's words vividly, "It's Mr. Chu, it's pitiful to say. The late emperor had known that the King of Shu was going to rebel for a long time, so he deliberately used a trick to ask Mr. Chu to be an undercover agent in the King of Shu. Now that the King of Shu is being executed, Mr. Chu has achieved merit. In order to reward Mr. Chu, His Majesty has appointed him as a marquis, and he is called a marquis."
Hong'er smiled and held two cups of tea, one was Zhao Changqing's medicinal tea, and the other was Tieguanyin that Ling used to drink. Hong'er smiled and said, "Madam, is it Zhongxiang Hou?"
"Oh, yes, yes, it's this name. It sounds nice, but it's not easy to remember." No matter how good it is, the two families had already changed their Geng Tie, but the Chu family suddenly fell, and now it's getting better... Ling sighed, "No matter what, the Chu family is still there, I'm happy for them."
Even though he was stormy in his heart, Zhao Changqing still looked calm and said, "It's always a good thing." Just be alive.
Ling sighed again, "Yes."
After Zhao Changqing's body was improved, he moved with Ling to the house rewarded by the court. The house was indeed very good and he could live directly without any cleaning. In addition, there were trivial household items such as bedding and brocade tents. Mr. Su had bought several sets for the Zhao family to deliver them, which solved the urgent problem. The charcoal burned in winter was prepared by pear fruit.
Ling said straight, "I've only met you now."
When they moved to the new house, Ling family invited Su Bai, Li Guo, Ling Teng and Yuan family to come for dinner and became warm houses.
As the end of the year approaches, the next thing is to buy New Year's goods. Zhao Changqing is a mature man, and Ling's family has been in charge for many years. The mother and daughter discussed that before Zhao Yong and Li Zi took the family to the imperial capital, they bought all the New Year's goods. In addition, the yard where everyone wanted to live, they also burned the warm kang in advance and used charcoal basins to warm the house.
After six years of separation, Mrs. Zhao saw that she was getting older and she was as snowy as she saw Zhao Changqing. Zhao Changqing could not hide her sadness, but Ling advised, "The family is reunited, and the old lady is just happy."
Mrs. Ling Er laughed, "Yes. Changqing's promising career is all first-class imperial edicts. Which one in the border town can compare with Changqing? Don't be sad soon. Good days are coming. Just wait and enjoy Changqing's blessing." This time, Mrs. Ling Er, followed Zhao Yong's family to the imperial capital. For nothing else, Ling Teng could not marry a wife for three years, and the family was almost crazy. It just so happened that the Zhao family came to the imperial capital. After discussing with Mrs. Ling Er, she followed the imperial capital. Mrs. Ling Er, made up her mind early, no matter what kind of lady and beautiful family she was, she would not pick on now. She married her son first. Before closing her eyes, she had to hold her grandson! Moreover, she already had a daughter-in-law!
Zhao Changyu was also very happy to see his elder sister. Zhao Changxi and Zhao Changan were young and ignorant, but Zhao Rong still looked cold and cold. In short, one of the family had seen her, and she was more happy and sad.
In the winter, from the border city to the imperial capital, a journey of thousands of miles apart, Zhao Changqing was worried that the old lady Zhao's legs would not be able to bear it, so he invited Doctor Su to come and see him for a while.
Old Mrs. Zhao asked Doctor Su for half a day, Zhao Changqing's health, and knew that the poison would be gone and he could recover from his past after he was well recuperated. Old Mrs. Zhao was relieved.
Doctor Su prescribed a prescription for old lady Zhao, and then looked at the rest of the Zhao family. When he left, he whispered something to Zhao Changqing. Zhao Yong took Zhao Changyu to take Doctor Su out.
Old Mrs. Zhao smiled, "Although the road is farther, I see that winter in the imperial capital is warmer than in the border town. On the road, there is a thick felt inside and outside the car, which is not at all windy, and it is very warm."
Zhao Changqing said, "Doctor Su is not easy to meet. It was the last emperor who ordered him to come to the imperial capital two years ago. It would be better to have a diagnosis and condition it."
Old Mrs. Zhao touched her granddaughter's soft and slender hand and said, "What's the point of being so old? It's true that you should be well conditioned."
Zhao Changqing smiled, "A few days ago, my mother stewed ginseng soup for me every day, and I had my nosebleed in the middle of the night."
Ling thought about it and found it funny, "It's changed now, I'll drink it once every half a month."
As soon as Mrs. Zhao arrived at the imperial capital, relatives had closer contacts, such as Mr. Zhu's family and Yuan's family in the imperial capital, who often came to speak.
However, the one who comes most often is Mrs. Ling Er. There is nothing else to do when Mrs. Ling Er comes. Praise Zhao Rong from the inside out. It really praises the external beauty and inner beauty. After praises the inner beauty, Ling can regulate her daughter.
The blind man could see that Mrs. Ling Er thoughts.
When Ling heard Mrs. Ling praise Zhao Rong endlessly, she was actually a little moved and discussed with Zhao Yong, "Arong is already twenty-one, and it is twenty-two in a blink of an eye. Aning and her twins are all gone, but she is not yet settled. My hair is so sad that she has white hair. I know that she has no one in her heart, she just cares about A Teng. Alas, even a god and man can't do anything about this marriage. Why not just settle the marriage? I think she is willing to do it too."
Thinking of the marriage of the second daughter, Zhao Yong was so anxious that he was not anxious and said, "Anyway, I'm waiting for this time. Let's talk about Arong's meaning. If she is not happy, she will not be able to live a good life after marriage."
After talking about his second daughter, he said that he was the eldest daughter. Ling sighed, "You said, what should we do with Changqing? Xia Wen has been here several times these days."
"Changqing saw him?"
"without."
"That's all. If I had known this ungrateful family of the Xia family, I would not have been asked to marry Changqing." Zhao Yong said a little angry and said, "Don't let the Xia family come in in the future. Changqing's marriage is not in a hurry. Take care of his body first. Even if he marrys again, he must marry a family of politeness."
Ling was worried, "I don't know if I didn't burn high incense in my previous life or what happened. You said Changqing is good in everything, but he just can't give birth to it..."
"What do you mean? There are many people in the world who cannot give birth to a child."
"Yes. There are so many people who cannot give birth to a child, but how many people are as strong as her? Life is like a fool, she doesn't like to be serious."
After hearing this, Zhao Yong was a little unwilling to give up on his eldest daughter, saying, "Everyone has the same temper. Changqing is not lacking in ability. It would be too wrong for her to let her live a depressed life."
"That's not a bad thing." Ling said, "Oh, once she got married, the Xia family was so far away, she had a lot of energy to do anything else, and she couldn't live in her in-laws' house... I have to pass on her more experience in the future..." After talking about her two daughters, Ling said that Zhao Changyu was almost as old as a wife.
The couple talked about some children's scriptures and stopped late at night.
As the New Year was approaching, Ling had no time to worry about the marriage between her children. When relatives should leave the gift, she prepared it at home and asked her husband to take her second son out for the New Year ceremony. She also had her husband to serve in the Imperial Guards, and Ling also had some social engagements between women.
When Ling first came to the imperial capital, he was not as familiar with Zhao Changqing. In addition, he was a little older than when he was young, so many things were handled by Zhao Changqing.
Zhao Changqing would also tell Ling about the exchanges between people from the imperial capital, "Chengen Gong's Mansion was in the border city of Brother Ji's mansion..."
"I remember this, now it's time to talk about Grand Prince Song." Ling smiled and said with a hindsight, "At that time, I saw that the two young men of the Song family were not as handsome as ordinary people."
Zhao Changqing laughed, "The birthday of Chengen Duke is coming soon, and our family has some friendship with Chengen Duke's Mansion. It's okay to join in the fun at that time." In the past, when the late emperor was in Chengen Duke, he would not celebrate his birthday with such a big fanfare. Now that the Queen Mother Song is in power, the Song family naturally does not have to be as low-key as before.
Ling asked, "How to prepare a birthday gift?"
Zhao Changqing had already prepared a list. Ling had read it and said to Zhao Rong, "Learn some from your sister, and you can use it in the future."
Zhao Rong responded to "yes" and Zhao Changqing continued to talk to Ling.
As the current grandfather of His Majesty and the current empress dowager's father, Song Rong's birthday was quite lively. What surprised Zhao Changqing was that Mr. Su also went there. Of course, there was a daughter-in-law Qi Ru serving him.
Zhao Changqing is now a popular figure. Even if some dukes and marquises are polite to her, they will know that the Zhao family is about to flourish. Therefore, even if Ling's first arrival in the imperial capital, he still feels the superficial friendship of the upper class in the imperial capital.
Old Mrs. Song said a few words to Ling first, and looked at Zhao Changqing being very kind, and took her hand and said, "Good child, I have something good for you later." Old Mrs. Song had already expressed his affection for the Zhao family privately to her son, "This family is our blessing star. The Zhao Qianhu saved Jiayan at the beginning, but now the daughter of the Zhao family has saved the little princess again. It's good to have good things." Therefore, for her own blessing star, Old Mrs. Song, who has always been stingy, is also preparing to give Zhao Changqing some things to show her kindness.
Zhao Changqing smiled, "I'm here to have a banquet, how can I still be greedy for you, old lady?"
Old Mrs. Song said, "We are not outsiders, I found it for you."
This made many relatives complain that the Zhao family is not an outsider, but we are outsiders. This is not what should be said in public. With the social skills of Mrs. Song, she was able to gain a place in the imperial capital, and she was determined by her hard work and gave birth to two good sons.
Alas, everyone is all about life. Just look at Old Mrs. Song.
Qi smiled and led the old lady away, introducing, "Old lady, this is Mrs. Yong'an."
The Marquis of Yong'an was in Shuzhong and had not yet returned to the imperial capital. On Song Rong's birthday, Mrs. Yong'an brought her son. Mrs. Yong'an asked Old Lady Song with a smile and asked him well, so she went to sit down.
When Qi saw her cousin and Mr. Su, he focused on saying to Old Lady Song, "Old lady, don't you often say that this is Su Tanhua's mother."
When the old lady Song saw her, she felt that Mr. Su looked familiar, but she couldn't remember anything else, and smiled, "I'll come often in the future. Sister Fu often talks about Mr. Hu, saying that Mr. Hu is a knowledgeable person."
Mr. Su laughed, "I wish you a day every year and a day every year." Although Su Bai is familiar with the Song family, he is not a high-ranking official or a nobleman today, and Mr. Su's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are still in the side hall.
Mr. Su took Qi Ru out and inadvertently glanced at Mrs. Yong'an. Mrs. Yong'an heard that Su Bai's mother had arrived, and she couldn't help but look at her. The two of them collided. The teacup in Mrs. Yong'an's hand fell to the ground with a skirt of hot tea, but her eyes were still staring at Mrs. Su, as if she had seen a ghost.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou suddenly lost her composure, and the maid next to her hurriedly stepped forward to serve. Mrs. Yong'an Hou came back to her senses, but she couldn't help but look at Mr. Su. Mr. Su smiled and looked slightly.
Mr. Su rarely goes out for social events. The imperial capital only knows that Su Tanhua was raised by his widowed mother, and rarely sees Mr. Su. Now some people just feel familiar with each other. They suddenly feel that they are very happy when they see Mr. Yong'an Marquis suddenly panic. Some of them have a good memory, such as Mrs. Ning'an Marquis Ji Min, then remembered. Ji Min was really shocked and couldn't help but go to see Mr. Su again. Mr. Su had already taken Qi Ru to the side hall.
Zhao Changqing looked at Mrs. Yong'an and said to himself that it seemed that Mrs. Yong'an must have recognized Mr. Su.
It was not only Mrs. Yong'an Hou who was scared today. Xia Shaoqing's wife Xia Gongren also sat in the side hall. When she saw Mr. Su, she stood up directly from the chair and her face changed drastically.
Qi Ru looked at Xia Gongren strangely, and Xia Gongren sat back without thinking.
After returning home, Qi Ru couldn't help but say to her husband, "Today, Mrs. Yong'an and Mrs. Xia Shaoqing looked very strange when they met their mother."
Su Bai was covered in some alcohol smell and said, "What's strange about it?"
Qi Ru served him to change his clothes, the maid brought sober tea, Su Bai drank a cup of wine, and listened to his wife, "I looked surprised and scared. I couldn't say it."
Since Xia Wen, Su Baite disliked the Xia family and said, "Maybe he has done too much trouble and is afraid when he sees it."
It was related to mother-in-law, so Qi Ru didn't say much.
Su Bai said, "Uncle Peng said he wanted to sacrifice to Su Tanhua. It will be the day in a few days. You prepare some sacrifices and we will go together."
Qi Ru responded.
Xia Family.
Mrs. Yong'an Hou did not return to her home, and directly returned to the Xia family with her mother in a terrifying state. Mrs. Yong'an Hou was distracted and kept saying, "Mother, mother, she is back! She is back!"
Xia Gongren was very knowledgeable and took a sip of herbal tea to comfort her daughter, "Don't panic, don't panic, isn't it? Even if that's what kind of identity she can have now? You are the wife of the Marquis of Yong'an! Be more stable!"
Mrs. Yong'an's wife rolled down her tears, her face pale, and said sadly, "Mother, I am the second wife, and in front of the main wife, I am the same as a concubine. What's the point of being good or not? The first one to change the title. The Marquis liked Su Tanhua, the Marquis liked him very much. If he knew this..."
Xia Gongren slapped the armrest of the soft couch with hatred and gritted her teeth, "I clearly tested it back then, why didn't she burn her to death!"
Mrs. Yong'an Hou only knew how to be afraid, and her decision was far less than her mother. After being frightened and angry, Xia Gongren had an idea. She gently wiped the tears from her daughter's face with a veil and smiled, "My son, why are you anxious? Those who set fire to the fire back then were not anxious. We mother and daughter don't have to worry anymore."
Mrs. Yong'an Hou was stunned, and Xia Gongren patted her hands, "Just go home and live a peaceful life, this matter will not interfere with you, so someone will come out to cook."
"Mother said..."
Xia Gongren laughed, "When the Marquis went to do the job, I quietly prepared this matter clearly. When the Marquis came back, what happened back then, what would happen now?"
Mrs. Yong'an Hou was still very uneasy. Xia Gongren comforted her daughter for half a day and was in a better mood. She asked her to return to the Yong'an Hou's mansion and went to visit Mrs. Li himself.
When Zhao Changqing heard that Doctor Su was going to sacrifice to Su Tanhua, he ordered someone to send the sacrifice to him.
After offering sacrifices to Su Tanhua, Mr. Su saw that the plum blossoms on the mountain were blooming well, so he said to Su Bai, "You guys go back first, I will stay in the other courtyard for a few days before returning."
Su Bai said, "It's a cold day, my mother should go home together. It's too cold on the mountain, so it's better to be warmer at home."
Mr. Su laughed, "I informed the servants in advance, and the house was warm, so how cold it could be. Moreover, the plum blossoms only bloom in winter."
Su Bai didn't want to wipe out his mother's interest and said, "Then I'll send someone to send some thick clothes to me, so my mother can wear it cheaply."
Mr. Su nodded, "Go."
Things in the world always have surprising similarities. Even if more than twenty years have passed, some people's methods are still innovating.
Or, there is really something wrong with the Feng Shui in this villa.
When Su Bai heard that a fire occurred in the other courtyard, he almost didn't breathe a sigh of relief. The servant hurriedly said, "Madam is fine! Grandma told the uncle to go back quickly."
As soon as Su Bai asked for leave, Lord Zheng let him go back. Su Bai rushed home in a hurry and went straight to his mother's yard. Seeing his mother sitting on the couch and talking to his wife, Su Bai felt relieved, his eyes suddenly turned red, and he shouted, "Mom." He rushed over and asked repeatedly, "Didn't it burn? Are you okay?"
Mr. Su patted his son on the shoulder and laughed, "I'm fine."
Su Bai said, "But I'm scared. Don't stay in a different hospital yourself in the future. How come it's just a matter of time? "
Mr. Su said, "You go to the Imperial Capital Mansion to report the case. I caught a few thieves who set fire. This matter is better for the officials."
Su Bai asked, "Mom, are you really okay? The fire in the other courtyard, how did you live last night?" The winter night in the imperial capital can freeze people to death.
Mr. Su downplayed, "Stayed at the Taiyang Princess overnight."
Su Bai said, "I'd better wait for Uncle Peng to come back to diagnose your mother before reporting the case."
"It's so long-winded. First, go to the Imperial Capital Mansion. With your wife here, what else can you worry about?"
Su Bai had to go to the Imperial Capital Mansion first, but before going to the Imperial Capital Mansion, Su Bai first tried the thieves who set fire. It didn't matter if this trial was made, Su Bai was almost not angry to death.
