Chapter 341 Teahouse (one more)
On the second day when the list was released, there was a huge crowd of people gathered under the imperial list early in the morning.
There are students who are anxiously waiting for the release of the list, there are people who are guarding the imperial list to look for their son-in-law, and there are more than half of the people watching the excitement.
Every time the list is released, this day is a grand event, and this year's is the most important. On this day, the eyes of everyone in Daliang focused on the capital.
Su Rong rested for a day and a night yesterday. After the first day, her whole body was restored to a certain level of energy. She got up from the bed on time without the lady shouting, dressed properly, and went to the front hall.
Sure enough, the eldest lady, the six older sisters, and Su Xingze had all arrived in the front hall, waiting for dinner.
Seeing her coming, the eldest lady was very satisfied, "It's still on time, I thought you would be lazy again today!"
"Where can I do it?" Su Rong sat down and turned her head to look at Su Xingze with a smile, "I have to read the list for my brother."
"Let your elder brother go by himself." The lady said: "I heard that there are crowds outside, and many people have been trampled and have accidents. They have been sent to the hospital. You should rest at home and don't go."
Su Xing glanced at the eldest lady, but said nothing.
The eldest lady snorted softly, "What do you see me doing?"
Miss San whispered: "Mother, elder brother is your own son, you won't forget it, right?"
Worried about Seventh Sister being trampled on, let Big Brother go by himself? Why don't you worry about your eldest brother being trampled on or caught as a son-in-law?
The eldest lady coughed, "If it wasn't for my own son, I wouldn't have sent someone out early in the morning to find out if the list had been released, and then sat here and waited for the list."
Su Xing looked calm and calm, "Let's eat! Seventh sister will go with me later."
Su Rong glanced at Su Xingze, but didn't say that I would help you to see it by myself. For such a big matter, after all, how could he not go to see the list by himself?
The eldest lady has no objection upon hearing this.
So, after breakfast, Su Xing and Su Rong drove out of Dongsi Hutong.
There are obviously a lot of people on the street today, and there is a lot of traffic, all rushing to one place.
Half an hour later, there was still a street away from the place where the list was released, but the carriage could no longer move. Su Rong lifted the curtain and took a look outside, thinking that it was really worthy of the crowd.
She said to Su Xing: "Brother, no wonder Duanhua has reminded you again and again to be careful about catching a son-in-law under the list. In such a crowded situation, if the two of us get lost together, if you are caught by chance, I can't squeeze people, and I can't save you."
Su Xing was helpless, "She also said that no one seems to dare to catch me."
"That's not necessarily the case. Backed by the East Palace and the Shen Mansion, no one dares to easily arrest your son-in-law, but what about the princesses of the royal family? It is said that there were also princesses who ended up arresting their son-in-law one year. It was also known as a good story. As far as I know, there are seven or eight princesses in the royal family who are waiting to be married."
Su Xing was speechless, "I can't walk now, get off?"
"It's useless to get out of the car, and it can't be squeezed, it's all people." Su Rong didn't want to squeeze with people, and she felt that Su Xing would not be willing to squeeze, so she suggested, "Why don't we go to the teahouse first? After the list is released, the initial excitement is over. Let's go again. At that time, there should be no one under the list. At most, it will take half a day longer."
Su Xing nodded, "Okay."
So, the two immediately got out of the carriage and entered the nearest teahouse.
Su Xing was just about to tell the young man who came out that he wanted a private room facing the street and next to the window, when someone went downstairs and called her, "Miss Feng?"
Su Rong heard the voice familiar, but didn't think it was calling her.
When they first came to the capital, Feng Ling and Su Rong went to the Zhuangyuan Building for dinner. They met Lu Fengyan and Zhao Shu, talented people from western Sichuan. Feng Ling gave her name and called her sister.
The person in front of him is Zhao Shu.
Su Rong didn't wear a veil today, and she hasn't seen Zhao Shu since that day. She didn't expect him to recognize her, so she smiled, "Mr. Zhao."
Zhao Shu was very pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly cupped his hands, "Miss Feng, I was upstairs, and I looked like you, but I didn't expect it to be you." After he finished speaking, he looked at Su Xingze beside her, surprised, "Brother Su?"
Su Xing cupped his hands, "Brother Zhao."
On the day when they left the examination room, Su Xingze and Lu Fengyan had a face-to-face meeting across the crowd. Later, they met in Chengguo Mansion. Afterwards, Lu Fengyan made an appointment with Su Xingze, and through Lu Fengyan, Su Xingze met Zhao Shu again.
Zhao Shu is a familiar character. Seeing the two standing together, he asked Su Xing: "Brother Su, so you also know Miss Feng?" After he finished speaking, he slapped his forehead, "Look at my memory, Miss Feng is from Jiangzhou, and you are also from Jiangzhou. It's not strange to know each other."
Su Xing turned his head to look at Su Rong, his eyes were "Where is Miss Feng from? How did you lie to me?"
Su Rong looked calm and said with a smile: "I accompanied my elder brother to wait for the announcement. There are too many people. I want to find a teahouse to wait for the announcement. Is Mr. Zhao the same as us?"
Zhao Shu wondered why one surnamed Su and the other Feng are elder brothers, but he still replied to Su Rong, "Yes, Brother Lu and I booked a private room upstairs. If Miss Feng and Brother Su don't mind, come with us. There are indeed too many people outside."
Su Rong has no objection, "Then thank you Mr. Zhao."
Su Xing also has no objection.
Zhao Shu led the two of them upstairs together, and saw two people sitting in the private room on the second floor, besides Lu Fengyan and Lu Weiran.
Lu Fengyan didn't meet Su Rong on the day of the banquet held at Duke Cheng's mansion, but when he saw Su Rong, he stood up and cupped his hands, "Miss Feng?"
Lu Weiran, who stood up with him, also cupped his hands at the same time, "Miss Su Qi!"
Lu Fengyan was taken aback for a moment, then turned to look at Lu Weiran.
Lu Weiran also looked at Lu Fengyan in surprise.
Zhao Shu heard clearly and was surprised, "Miss Su Qi?"
Su Rong was a little embarrassed, and said apologetically to Lu Fengyan and Zhao Shu: "I am Su Rong, the youngest daughter of the governor of Jiangzhou. I am the seventh among sisters. This is my elder brother. You should all know me."
"You, you..." Zhao Shu was shocked.
Lu Fengyan suddenly realized, "It turns out that it was inconvenient for Ms. Su Qi to tell her name in the Zhuangyuan Building that day."
"Yes, so I covered my face with a gauze." Su Rong smiled, "I'm sorry, both of you."
Zhao Shuna, "No, no, no, it doesn't matter."
He was breaking out in a cold sweat. After the scientific examination, he ate with relish the gossip about the divorce of Miss Su Qi and Young Master Zhou of the Duke Huguo's Mansion. Later, he heard that Su Rong had done many important things in the capital. He also said to Lu Fengyan at that time that a little concubine is really capable, and I really want to see what kind of woman she is.
Lu Fengyan didn't say anything, but he speculated that she must be a woman with deep scheming and powerful wrists. I don't know what purpose she has to stir up the situation in the capital? Later, he heard many people gossip in private that she was the princess of Nanchu, and the series of assassinations in Beijing were aimed at her.
Who would have thought that Miss Su Qi is the girl Feng whom she met in Zhuangyuan Building that day.
Let’s think about it again, the people from Donggong found him and Lu Fengyan in private, and said that if anyone asked, they would say that they had never seen the Feng family siblings. He was still in fear for several days at that time, but fortunately Brother Lu was calmer than him, and he said that he would do as he said.
Sure enough, the scientific examination went smoothly afterwards without any trouble, and no one has looked for them so far.
Compared to Zhao Shu's incoherent speech, Lu Fengyan was obviously calmer. He smiled, "Miss Su Qi doesn't need to apologize. We met by chance that day. Mr. Feng's surname is Feng, but Miss Seven didn't deny it, but we misunderstood."
