Chapter 61 Conflict
"Miss, I heard that Miss Guo and Miss Xue had another quarrel when everyone was vacationing in Dai County a month ago, and it was Miss Xue who was saved by Mr. Cui. At this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet, Miss Guo and the others met Miss Xue again.
, I think it will be very lively!”
Xiaoxia said enthusiastically, Su Zijin couldn't help but shake his head when he saw her gossiping.
The time Cui Lingchuan came to save someone was on the Daijun grassland. At that time, many families in Kyoto took their families to Daijun to escape the summer heat. On the prairie, someone's arrows missed and flew around, and even scared the horses.
Trampling Xue Mingzhu under the horse, Cui Lingchuan finally took action, and Xue Mingzhu survived.
"Xue Mingzhu is really lucky. At first, she said she was your friend. Thanks to your influence, no one really made things difficult for her. Later, for some reason, she was saved by the second princess when she was arguing with Miss Jia.
Next, it was Mr. Cui who acted righteously for the third time. She provoked her again and again, and succeeded every time. She saw that she had surpassed all the noble ladies and became the "popular person" in the capital. No, she will not come to our house.
, she stopped looking for someone to hand her something to flatter the second princess, and instead rushed to the Cui Mansion. She repeatedly said that she was going to thank Mr. Cui for saving her life. I heard that she was very attached to Mr. Cui's sister recently, and some people watched her a few days ago.
Let’s go shopping at Tax Street with them!”
Xiaoxia became angry as she spoke, and looked at Su Zijin, "Miss, please don't pay attention to Miss Xue in the future. Originally, when I saw her coming to our house to look for you every day, I thought she was sincere. Unexpectedly, she
He is this kind of person! Recently, it has been rumored in the noble circles in Kyoto that Miss Xue family is eager for quick success and clings to the powerful, and the daughters of good families are afraid of getting involved with her."
Su Zijin flipped the travel notes in his hand at a steady speed, but said coldly, "I don't care, I just gave Miss Baozhu a special sour plum soup to relieve summer heat. I wonder if I have a chance to taste it?"
Xiaoxia's face turned red after hearing this.
Xue Baozhu came to the Su Mansion frequently a few days ago, but he couldn't really let the daughter of a second-grade official sit on the bench all the time. The mistress of the house was lazy to entertain her. Every time Xue Baozhu came, Su Zijin was concentrating on reading.
, Xue Baozhu didn't feel left out either, and chatted with Xiao Xia in full swing every time he came. Within a few days, Xiao Xia actually made sour plum soup every day in anticipation of Xue Baozhu's visit.
After all, there are only a few maids in Su Zijin's courtyard, and Su Zijin likes to be quiet. Everyone only works quietly on weekdays. Xue Baozhu's arrival can bring a lot of life to Su Zijin's Wutong courtyard, so others don't know
, anyway, Xiaoxia likes Xue Baozhu, a eldest lady with no airs.
In just a few days, the maid went from unfamiliarity to love. It must be said that Xue Baozhu is very talented in handling interpersonal relationships.
Otherwise, it will not disturb the peace of the people in Kyoto.
After sending Xiaoxia out to get some sour plum soup, Su Zijin thought about the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet in a few days and couldn't help but look forward to it.
The Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15th is one of the most important festivals of the year. Su Zijin's family was invited by the palace to attend the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
"Why do I think you two, mother and daughter, are in such high spirits? If you have any good news, please tell me."
Su Wu looked at the two people and couldn't help but say.
There was nothing wrong with the two of them, but from the shining eyes of the two, he could sense that they had a different aura.
Su Zijin met his mother, Mrs. Chang's eyes, and saw the light of like-mindedness in the other's eyes.
Mrs. Chang was still more "sultry" and calmly picked up a cup of tea from the small table in the middle of the carriage without saying a word. Su Zijin looked at his father's "seeking for knowledge" eyes and couldn't help suppressing his excitement and said, "You didn't notice
Is it? Kyoto has not been peaceful recently."
Su Wu thought for a moment and shook his head, "Kyoto has been very stable recently. I didn't notice anything was wrong."
"They are all in the inner house. No wonder you don't know. Let me tell you, starting from the last palace banquet, at each banquet, Xue Baozhu of the Xue family, the official of the Ministry of Personnel, and Jia Wenxin, the daughter of Jia Guogong, have fought several times.
She did her duty, but Xue Baozhu was smart and had a bad mouth. Jia Wenxin had suffered several losses in her hands. Even with the help of Guo Hou's daughter Guo Yixuan, Xue Baozhu was not a vegetarian and could always drag others into the water to rescue her.
.After these several disputes, Xue Baozhu not only did not feel out of place as a young lady who had just entered Beijing, but actually made a name for herself in Kyoto. I wonder what kind of trouble the two people will have at this Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet."
Su Zijin, who lives a poor life and has few entertainment activities, expressed that she is very much looking forward to today's palace banquet. She thought that Jia Wenxin was troubled by Xue Baozhu in the past few times and was not prepared. This Mid-Autumn Palace banquet, both sides should be prepared.
Came here and saw some excitement.
Su Wu frowned after hearing what his daughter said.
"Why, isn't it just the little daughter playing around? Which generation can't deal with it? In our time, the Queen and Princess Zhaoping had several quarrels!"
Mrs. Chang saw that her husband looked wrong and spoke.
Su Zijin also looked at his father.
Su Wu looked at the two women at home and sighed, "Jia Guogong and his wife are old, and it is time to take care of themselves and enjoy the honor. It happened that a few days ago, His Majesty issued an order to the Jia family because of the matter of clearing the property of the father-in-law. This time
Therefore, there are many families who have been reprimanded, but who makes the children of the Jia family fail to live up to expectations. It does not hurt other people to receive reprimands, but his family only relies on honor to live, and receiving reprimands is like a bolt from the blue. The Xue family is a new civil servant in Kyoto.
This is when he jumped out and wanted to be seen by His Majesty. Xue Butang is eager for quick success and reputation, but I didn't expect that his young lady would jump out at this time. Whether it is intentional or unintentional, it can be said that she is vicious."
Su Zijin didn't expect that there was such a connection. She originally thought it was just a joke, but she didn't expect that her father actually thought of it deeper.
Seeing Mrs. Chang and Su Zijin's silence, Su Wu smiled and said, "Okay, just go to the banquet and be happy. We can't control them too much. I'm just saying this because I just want you to know the inside story and don't hurt me unintentionally."
It’s just the human heart.”
Mrs. Chang nodded, and Su Zijin agreed, "I understand, father."
She didn't expect that under her father's rough appearance, he was quite delicate inside.
The Su family had a simple population, and the family of three rode in a carriage. Therefore, they did not walk from the Imperial Garden to Fengyi Palace from the north gate of the palace like other female family members, but went straight to the south gate of the palace before getting off the carriage.
Xiao Huangmen took the housekeeper and guards to the side hall, while Su Wu took his family to the main hall of His Majesty.
"Go ahead and drink less wine."
Mrs. Chang straightened Su Wu's neck and said softly.
"Well, don't leave in a hurry after the palace banquet is over. I'll pick you up at the gate of Fengyi Palace."
In front of Su Zijin, the couple said goodbye naturally as if there was no one around. Su Zijin's eyes consciously drifted to the side, not looking at people spreading dog food. She wanted to eat more food later, so as not to be full right now.
