Chapter 656: Fengci's Surprise
The next day, the imperial edict was delivered to the Su Mansion. Su Chen, Bai Susu, and Liu Monong knelt in the courtyard to receive the edict. When the two women heard that they had been canonized as the fourth-grade imperial wife, their expressions were quite surprised, with a look of disbelief.
After all, Bai Susu is a merchant's daughter, and Liu Monong is a brothel's beauty. In traditional concepts, their status is not high.
Suddenly being conferred the title of Madam by the imperial court, they immediately felt like a blue bird on a branch turning into a phoenix. The promotion of their status made the two women both excited and excited.
Especially Liu Monong's low status. She was born in a brothel and married into the Su Mansion as a concubine. Although she had a good ending, she felt a little inferior in her heart. Because the other women were either daughters of the prefect or the daughters of powerful people, and their status was relatively noble. Only she
Born in a romantic place, it is inevitable to have low self-esteem and self-pity.
But now that she has been canonized by the imperial court as a fourth-grade concubine, she is no longer restricted by wives and concubines. She can also be regarded as a concubine. Her status is even more noble than that of a wife who has not been canonized and a common wife. Of course, she is very excited. It seems that the pain in her heart is suppressed.
Like a boulder being jumped away, I was surprised and excited, with tears on my face.
Bai Susu was equally happy. Although she was the daughter of a wealthy merchant and had a wealthy family, her thinking as a scholar, peasant, industrialist, and merchant was deeply rooted. Now that she could be canonized by the imperial court, she also felt that this was an honor.
Even if she had to follow her husband to go north to the Song Dynasty and leave the Southern Tang Dynasty, she would be satisfied because her clan and family were still here and she could have a bright face.
Su Chen knew about this situation in advance, so he was emotionally stable. Looking at the excited expressions of the two girls, he felt that it was worthwhile to do so.
"Marquis An Guo, please accept the order and thank me!"
Su Chen nodded and saluted: "My lord, thank you for your kindness."
He stood up and received the imperial edict, asked the steward to bring the reward money, and gave it to the eunuch who delivered the edict, asking him to go to the Peng Mansion to deliver the edict again and sing about Peng Jingjing's canonization.
The eunuch who delivered the order took the gold cake with a smile, agreed, said a few words of congratulations, and took people to the Peng Mansion first, and then returned to the palace to resume his duties.
Su Chen made this arrangement carefully, so that the Peng family could be glamorous and honored, and it would also give Peng Jingjing a surprise.
At this time, Su Chen turned to look at Bai Susu and Liu Monong, and said with a smile: "This is a special gift that my husband gave you before he left. Are you surprised? You will all be equal from now on, and you don't have to care about your past identity, even if
We left the Tang Kingdom, and we have to start from scratch, let go of the past, and start a new life from now on, do you understand?"
Bai Susu and Liu Monong nodded, showing their overjoyed expressions, and understood their husband's good intentions.
"Thank you, Mr. Bai!" Bai Susu smiled with alluring beauty.
"Thank you sir for everything you have done for me. Mo Nong is very satisfied. I will never regret marrying Su Lang in this life!" Liu Mo Nong cried with joy, which brought the greatest impact.
Su Chen looked at the happy smiles and moved expressions of the two girls, and felt in his heart that doing this was very worthwhile. It would let them get rid of a knot in their hearts and not have to care about their own origins, so that they would get along more harmoniously.
Su Chen comforted his family members. Next, he had to consider how to escape Jin Chan's shell and transfer some assets.
Su Chen planned to ask Jing Hong to bring the dead men he secretly trained to carry out this matter, so as to prevent people from gossiping and leaking the matter.
Some of the Su family's extra people and money were taken out and moved southward quietly, spreading to the Jianzhou area.
In the afternoon, Su Chen received an invitation from the Song Dynasty envoy at his residence, inviting him to a restaurant for a banquet, drinking and talking.
"What was supposed to come has finally come."
Su Chen did not refuse and asked someone to send a message back, saying that he would go to the banquet.
………
As dusk fell, Jinling City was peaceful with singing and dancing, and the lights were bright. No matter the dignitaries or the common people, they all knew that the Song Dynasty had stopped attacking. The two countries had made peace, temporarily ending the war, and they all relaxed.
Under the protection of the guards, Su Chen took a car to Sun Chu Restaurant. This restaurant has been built here since the Wei and Jin Dynasties and has been very famous since ancient times.
It is said that during the Western Jin Dynasty, the famous writer Sun Chu often came to this restaurant to drink, and he often wrote poems, drank and sang. In order to pursue the celebrity effect, the owner simply changed the name of the restaurant to "Sun Chu Restaurant".
In the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, the new owner renovated the restaurant and made it more luxurious. Li Bai came to visit and lingered over it. He wrote a poem "Wanyue at Sunchu Restaurant in the West of Jinling City": "Last night, the moon in the west city was full of jade, and the blue sky hung down.
Gou. Chao sells Jinling wine and sings and sings about Sun Chu Restaurant." This made Sun Chu Restaurant even more famous. In the late Tang Dynasty, some people also called this restaurant "Taibai Restaurant".
Su Chen came to Taibai Restaurant, holding an invitation card. There were guards from the envoys at the door. Seeing this, he quickly stepped forward to ask.
"Is this Master Su Chen Su?"
Su Chen nodded and said, "I am!"
The Song Army guard looked at Su Chen and seemed very curious.
Because he loves martial arts legends, he heard Su Chen's name and said very politely: "Master Su, the two commanders are already waiting in the elegant pavilion on the fourth floor. Please come with me."
"Okay!" Su Chen nodded.
The guard led the way and led Su Chen to the fourth floor. There were several guards guarding the door and corridor outside a room to prevent assassins. After all, the last time the Song Dynasty envoy went to the Southern Tang Dynasty,
Tao Gu was assassinated, so Cheng Dexuan and others were still very cautious.
When Su Chen went upstairs, the elegant door opened, and Cheng Dexuan and Liang Jiong stood up to greet him.
"I am Cheng Dexuan, the commander of the envoy. This is the deputy envoy Liang Jiong. I am very happy to meet Jiangzuo Sulang!"
Su Chen bowed his hands and said, "My friend, Su Chen, I have met two envoys."
Cheng Dexuan smiled and said: "From now on, we will all work for the Song Dynasty court. Mr. Su, please take a seat."
Liang Jiong said excitedly next to him: "That's right, the north is the Central Plains, with a vast land, abundant resources, and outstanding people. Although it is not as beautiful as the south of the Yangtze River, it is better than the vastness and magnificence. Bianjing City has a population of one million. If Mr. Su goes to Bianjing City, he will also
You will definitely like it.”
Seeing that the two of them were relatively polite, Su Chen nodded and said, "I hope so!"
"Please sit down!"
The three of them sat down at the table and asked the guards to order the waiters to start serving wine and dishes.
Liang Jiong couldn't help but said: "Today I finally met Mr. Su in person. Although this is the first time we met, your poems, songs, articles and martial arts have been widely circulated in the north.
There are not many flower houses in the capital that are singing your poems, and some are even imitating the operas of Peony Pavilion, Romance of the West Chamber, and Butterfly Lovers.
"Especially your martial arts, which is widely spread in the army. Some green forest heroes and yamen detectives can't put it down. If they learn that Jiangzuo Sulang has arrived in Bianjing, I don't know how many people will come to you to discuss business and compete for it.
Welcome."
Su Chen lamented that these were all treasures of literature in Chinese history, which he had stolen and misappropriated, so he modestly said: "Thank you to the people of Song Dynasty for showing your love and affection. How can I be so virtuous as to receive such a welcome?"
Liang Jiong said excitedly: "Master Su is truly worthy of his reputation. I have also read those books. They are indeed amazing."
Cheng Dexuan smiled and said: "To tell you the truth, Mr. Liang is a reader of several of your works. After he came to Jinling in the Tang Dynasty, he kept clamoring to see you sooner, and finally got the chance tonight, haha..."
Su Chen picked up the wine glass and said: "Thank you two adults for your sincere hospitality. For your recognition, Su Chen would like to toast you two adults."
"okay!"
Cheng Dexuan and Liang Jiong raised their glasses and drank at the same time.
The atmosphere was good. There were toasts and toasts in return. After a while, everyone drank a few small glasses.
Liang Jiong held his forehead, feeling a little dizzy: "The wine is a bit strong."
After saying that, Liang Jiong fell asleep on the table and entered a state of drunkenness.
Cheng Dexuan shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Liang is not a big drinker, but he always likes to drink. Someone comes and helps Master Liang to the next room to have a rest."
"Yes!" Two guards came in, helped Liang Jong leave, and went to another room to rest temporarily.
Su Chen felt that something was strange and looked at Cheng Dexuan, who happened to be looking at him as well, with an unfathomable smile on his lips.
