Chapter 134 Smart (Second update)
The study room became quiet, Su Rong's words echoed in his ears, Yan Hui echoed Su Rong's words, and went silent.
He remembered that when he was a child, he vaguely met Xie Yuan. At that time, the imperial grandfather was seriously ill. Xie Yuan handed over the note and wrote a letter to resign. The imperial grandfather sent someone to call Xie Yuan to him and asked him if he had made up his mind. Xie Yuan said yes. Wipe off the blood and the tears on his face, saying he's fine.
I vomited blood, how could it be all right?
But he is already sensible and dare not cry anymore, Grandfather Lao will coax him again.
The imperial grandfather hugged him and sighed, "Xie Yuan is a great talent, unfortunately, I can't do anything to keep him, it's my incompetence."
At that time, he didn't understand, he shook his head again and again, and said, "The emperor's grandfather is not incompetent, the emperor's grandfather is the most powerful."
The grandfather shook his head and said: "The grandfather is not powerful. If he was, he would not be forced to this field by the Great Wei." With an old face, he sighed and hated.
He was young and would not comfort others. He only patted the imperial grandfather on the back with his small hands.
After a while, the imperial grandfather suddenly stared at him. After a long time, he patted his head and said, "But fortunately, there is still you. Your enlightenment was opened to you by myself. From tomorrow on, let Qin Mu be your teacher!"
Qin Mu is Qin Taifu.
He complied obediently.
Later, not long after, the imperial grandfather passed away and his father ascended the throne. After a period of turmoil, it was not until two or three years later that Daliang gradually calmed down. Then two years later, Zhou Gu was sent to the study by the old Huguogong, and then the gentleman who went to the study was furious every day.
After Xie Yuan left the capital, there was no news. It was not until a few years ago that the emperor sent someone to investigate Jiangning prefect Su Xu, and found out that Xie Yuan was in Jiangning County, and he was a guest secretary of Jiangning County prefect's mansion.
Father is not like his grandfather who loves talent as much as his life. He just shook his head and ignored it.
He often heard Qin Taifu talk about Xie Yuan, and he admired him very much. It is a pity to say that he has the talent of a minister.
It was not long ago that he realized what the imperial grandfather meant when he said that there was nothing he could do to keep him.
Princess Zhenmin feigned death to escape, Xie Yuan resigned from office and went back to seclusion. One protects the main beam with a body full of scars, one abandons his name and goes down in history to protect the other for the rest of his life. Such two people, the backbone at the time, could not protect or keep them.
And Su Rong was taught by Xie Yuan since childhood.
Extremely smart and extremely sensitive.
Yan echo closed his eyes, looked at the two keys that had been removed from the table, silently picked them up, held them in his hands, put them away after a while, stood up, closed the folder, and walked out.
Qin Luan was guarding the door, seeing Yan echoing, immediately knelt down and asked, "Does your Highness have any orders?"
"Let's take a rest today!" Yan Hui echoed, then turned and left the study.
Qin Luan was surprised, and looked up at the sky. It was an hour earlier than usual, and she lowered her head.
Su Rong returned to Yuzhen Pavilion, and after taking a bath, he sat in the painting hall and drank tea.
After Feng Ling came back, he saw Su Rong sitting in the painting hall drinking tea at a glance, his eyes widened, "Master, are you waiting for me?"
It's so late and I haven't slept yet, I'm so flattered to wait for him specially!
After all, after fighting for food with the master for so long, as long as he slows down with the chopsticks for a while, the good food will be gone.
"Yes." Su Rong nodded, she was indeed waiting for Feng Ling, and waved to him, "Come, drink tea."
Although he said so, he still picked up the tea and drank it down, and asked Su Rong, "The master waited for me without sleeping, because he wanted to know where I went tonight?"
"Well, is the capital fun?" Su Rong asked.
"I don't know how it is during the day, but at night, it's not very fun. Except for the brothels and restaurants, it's not lively at all. I've met several waves of people from the City Patrol Division. Not to mention, the law and order is really strict, worthy of being under the emperor's feet. If it weren't for my good martial arts, I would definitely be caught and interrogated by the City Patrol Division if I wandered around in the street at night." Feng Ling shook his head, "But Mr. The jade pendants that represent their identities are hung around their waists, and the patrol officers all know them, and they basically don’t interrogate them, but ordinary people can’t do it, for fear that they won’t sleep at night and cause trouble.”
"Go to the Guest House?" Su Rong nodded.
"Go." Feng Ling lowered his voice and said, "Drunken Flower Drink is really good. Since entering the capital, the supply has been in short supply, and now it is out of stock. There are really many rich people in the capital. The shopkeeper let me tell you, he sold all the batch of Baihua wine that you asked people to bring into Beijing, and said that you want to give it as a gift. Wait for the next batch! The gift will be given later."
Su Rong stared, "How could he sell it to me?"
Feng Ling said immediately: "Did you say before that the world is big and the money is the biggest? The shopkeeper said that the first prince and the second prince came to the door that day, specifying that they wanted drunk wine, and the store was out of stock. The two people looked unhappy, especially the second prince. He had a face that would welcome guests if he didn't have good wine. He couldn't help it, so he took out your Baihua brew.
Feng Ling stretched out three fingers, "The shopkeeper's 300 taels a jar sold for a total of 15,000 taels of silver. He said that with this money, he will soon be able to open another store in the capital."
Su Rong: "..."
She suddenly had nothing to say, "All right!"
She originally intended to give this batch of wine to the prince as a gift, but since she sold it for silver, she had no choice but to not give it away. Anyway, the money earned is from the First Prince and Second Prince, if the Prince knows about it, he should feel that it is not a loss.
"I even went around outside the walls of the Duke Huguo's Mansion. The Huguo Duke's Mansion is really big." Feng Ling sighed, "Master, if you marry into the Huguo Duke's Mansion, it will actually be pretty good. There should be good food and drink, and a good place to live. In my opinion, it is no worse than the East Palace."
"The Duke Huguo's Mansion is naturally no worse than the East Palace. When Princess Sheng'an married the Duke Huguo's Mansion, it is said that the princess mansion was not built. Instead, the money from the construction of the Princess Mansion was used to expand the Duke Huguo Mansion." Su Rong not only learned about the history of Southern Chu, but also had a good understanding of the family history of the Duke Huguo's Mansion.
"That's it!" Feng Ling didn't study as much as Su Rong, so naturally he didn't know much, so he just said, he looked really magnificent, not inferior to Donggong.
He said: "I didn't dare to sneak into the Duke Protector's Mansion. I was afraid of being discovered, so I just sat on the wall of the Duke Protector's Mansion. There is a yard. Before I left, the lights were still on. I guess it should be the yard of Young Master Zhou. After all, he has to take part in the scientific examination, and he is probably studying."
Su Rong nodded.
Feng Ling said again: "I went to the official minister's mansion again and walked around, but I didn't dare to get too close. Inside and outside the official minister's mansion, there are guards, and they are very strict."
He said strangely: "The guards of these two mansions are comparable to the Imperial Palace and the Eastern Palace. I took a quick look at the other mansions, and it was not like this. Except for the Prince's Mansion, the guards are sparse. If I go in and stay half the night, no one will be able to find me."
Su Rongxiao, "The mansion of Duke Huguo is the general's gate, and there should be military maps and protective maps hidden in the mansion. Naturally, no one can easily get in and steal it. Presumably, it has always been heavily guarded. As for the mansion of Minister of the Ministry of Officials, the guards should be stricter because my brother lived in it. Didn't my brother's last letter say that Zhou Gu sent more guards around him?"
Feng Ling whispered: "Young Master Zhou is really kind to you, even the eldest son's safety is so concerned. Are you really willing to call off the engagement?"
Su Rong glared at him, "This is something I have decided a long time ago, don't shake my will by whispering in my ears."
"Okay!" Feng Ling thought, your will is so strong that no one can shake it. I hope that on the day when you really divorce, you can be so straightforward.
He saw two keys placed in front of Su Rong, wondering, "Why are there two keys?"
Su Rong said "oh", with a normal tone, "It's the key to the hidden compartment of the Prince's study, it's convenient for me to look up the information, so give it to me first."
Feng Ling was surprised, "Master, His Highness the Crown Prince trusts you so quickly?"
It is only two days since the master and His Royal Highness have truly known each other. Why does His Royal Highness trust the master so quickly? Is it because of her true identity? A cousin relationship, can't it?
Su Rong stood up, put the key into his bosom, and said solemnly: "His Royal Highness is as discerning as a torch, and the employer will not doubt anyone. It's late, go to sleep!"
Feng Ling: "..."
Happy weekend, see you tomorrow~
