Mrs. Su and Su Fengnuan stepped out of the room, and there was a large "Hello Ma'am and Miss" greeting outside.
Madam Su waved her hand and ordered, "Lilac and Shaoyao follow."
"Yes, ma'am." Two pretty maids bowed their heads crisply.
Su Fengnuan glanced at it casually, and saw that there were hundreds of maids, mothers-in-law, and servants in the courtyard. The two maids named by her mother were very unfamiliar, and they were not old people. Looking at their clothes , different from ordinary maidservants, the clothes on her body are better than those of ordinary young ladies, obviously they are bestowed by the palace. If her mother hadn't forced her to change into newly made clothes, she would definitely be compared by them.
Mrs. Su turned her head and said, "Yesterday, I ordered all my servants to come here this morning. First, I want them to meet you. Second, you have not needed maids to serve you for so many years. Now when you return to Beijing, it is no different than before. You have to choose a few maids. I wanted you to choose the ones you like, but I didn't expect the emperor to send someone to the mansion to announce you into the palace so soon, so I can only let it go today."
Su Fengnuan lacked interest, "Mother is in charge of such trivial matters."
Mrs. Su reached out and patted her forehead, and scolded with a smile, "Don't try to be lazy, choose your own person."
"Okay, let's talk about it when we come back from the palace." Su Fengnuan rubbed his forehead that was aching, "Where is the third brother? Have you returned home?"
"He's back." Mrs. Su snorted, "Stinky boy, he's probably still asleep, anyway, the emperor didn't announce him, so he doesn't need to go to the palace to face him, so let him be."
Su Fengnuan muttered, "As a man, he is really lucky."
The couple were angry and laughed when they heard the words.
When the mother and daughter came to the door, someone had already prepared the carriage, and the two got into the carriage and headed for the palace.
On the carriage, Su Fengnuan said in a low voice, "Our Su Mansion has a lot of servants now, why did mother accept so many people? My father's little salary can't support him. The eldest brother, the second brother, and the third brother haven't married yet. As for wives, don’t put in the money you saved for them to marry a daughter-in-law.”
Mrs. Su laughed immediately, "Don't worry, without their marriage certificate, you will have your dowry."
The corners of Su Fengnuan's mouth twitched, he never forgot to touch her.
"After Mother returned to Beijing, the Emperor, Empress Dowager, Empress, and Concubine have all rewarded them a lot. When your father returns to Beijing triumphantly, there will probably be a lot of rewards. Now that the warehouses are full, it is not a problem to support these people." Mrs. Su said Then, he glanced at her slyly, and whispered, "Your father is a rough man, with a straightforward heart and a careless mind. He became a general to protect the territory for the people of Southern Qi. But if a country wants to be stable, how can it be just Relying on military power? It also depends on internal affairs. Twelve years ago, if someone inside had not secretly used tricks, King Rong An and Princess Wang would not have been killed in the border war with Beizhou, and your father would not have resigned. Mother returned to Beijing this time, Whoever gives it away, anyone who comes will not refuse, and I also think about it, if you want to be safe in Beijing, let your father be safe in the army, and have no worries, then you can't close your house and listen. Other people's eyeliner can also be used in reverse."
Su Fengnuan was amused, "Mother was calling attention to this, but it's a good way."
"It's clear at a glance who sent the person, knowing the details, compared to finding a new person in this mansion, and then going to check the details, it's much more worry-free." Mrs. Su said.
"Mother is also a lazy person." Su Fengnuan teased.
"Stinky girl, I said what you said, but I said it to me." Mrs. Su scolded with a smile.
When the carriage arrived at the gate of the palace, Feng Sheng, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, had obviously been waiting for a long time.
As soon as the carriage from Su's residence arrived, Feng Sheng immediately stepped forward, "Mrs. Su, is Miss Su here? The emperor has been looking forward to this morning."
"Here we come." Mrs. Su pulled Su Fengnuan out of the car.
When Feng Sheng saw Su Fengnuan at first glance, he was taken aback for a moment, "Is this Miss Su?"
Mrs. Su smiled and said, "If it's fake, it's the young girl. Father-in-law is being polite." After saying that, she said to Su Fengnuan, "Fengnuan, hurry up and greet Sheng Gonggong."
Su Fengnuan bowed his knees to salute Feng Sheng.
"Oh, Ms. Su is about to be excused. I asked you to show my respects to this old slave. It really hurts this old slave." Feng Sheng put on a smile on his face, and quickly avoided it. I saw Madam Su's beauty, but I didn't expect it to be better than blue. She was three points more beautiful than Madam Su when she was young. At first glance, she looked like a fairy in the sky, and the old slave's eyes could be seen through the eyes of needles coming."
Su Fengnuan looked at his old face and smiled wrinkled, a little funny.
Mrs. Su was elated when she heard it, what she couldn't stand was when people praised her daughter, and she laughed like a flower, "Elder-in-law is really good at complimenting people, just one sentence compliments our mother and daughter, it makes me feel sick It's as sweet as honey." After she finished speaking, she took out a box of Tianxiang brocade from her sleeve, handed it to Feng Sheng, and whispered, "This box of Tianxiang brocade was brought back by Feng Nuan from outside, I don't know who robbed it, If the father-in-law doesn't dislike it, just accept it!"
"Hey, a box of Tianxiang brocade is worth a thousand dollars. I can't bear it. Madam should keep it. It's a waste of good tea for this old slave." Feng Sheng hastily refused.
"I know that my father-in-law also likes to drink this, so don't refuse if he is a fellow of mine." Mrs. Su forced it into his hand.
Feng Sheng really loves tea. Seeing Mrs. Su stuffing it into his hands, he was naturally reluctant to take it away. He quickly put it away and said in a low voice, "Madam has been away from Beijing for so many years, but I still remember that this old slave loves tea. Your Majesty only got tea this year." I got five boxes of Tianxiang Brocade, I kept two boxes for myself, gave one box to the Empress Dowager, one box to the Empress, and one box to the Concubine Yue. The Tianxiang brocade is the most precious and scarce on this day, the old slave thanked Madam."
"The Su Mansion has been kept clean all these years, thanks to my father-in-law's hard work in taking care of it. Besides, I don't need to thank you for my friendship with my father-in-law." Mrs. Su said with a smile, "This stinky girl has been running around like crazy all these years. There are many good things in it, and I don’t know where they robbed them from. If your father-in-law has anything you can’t find, just tell her and let her get it for you.”
Feng Sheng immediately looked at Su Fengnuan, and said with a smile, "I heard that Miss Su learned martial arts from a great general since she was a child, and she is good at kung fu. But, looking at it this way, she is obviously a delicate and lovely person, not like what Madam said Running wild outside?"
"Grandpa, don't be fooled by her appearance, she's a bastard who can go to the house to expose tiles." Mrs. Su whispered, "Fight with brothers, go up the mountain to catch loaches, fish in the water, pluck the eyebrows of old monks, and pull old Taoists." beard, she's done everything..."
The corners of Su Fengnuan's mouth twitched violently, and he couldn't listen any longer, so he stretched out his hand and pulled Madam Su's sleeve, "Mother, why don't you just say everything, and you're not afraid that Eunuch Sheng will laugh at you for teaching your daughter poorly?"
Mrs. Su hadn't spoken yet, Feng Sheng laughed again and again, "This old slave is my own, it's a good thing for a daughter to be lively, and the emperor also likes lively little girls." After finishing speaking, he said, "The emperor will wait for you when he comes down in the morning. Seeing Miss Su, this old slave will take Madam and Miss to see the Emperor."
Mrs. Su patted off Su Fengnuan's hand that was pulling her sleeve, and nodded.
Feng Sheng led the way, and whispered as he walked, "Because the emperor and the queen mother have their own preferences for Ye Shizi and uncle Xiaoguo, they can't settle down. Now the two of them are not in a good mood these two days. They are fighting openly and secretly. It's awkward, the emperor didn't go to the Empress Dowager's palace today to pay her respects. The empress beat Mrs. Qi early this morning, just because Mrs. Qi was unwell yesterday. The emperor had already flipped Mrs. Lin's sign, but left Mrs. Lin and went to see Mrs. Qi. The queen was angry, and in the name of nobleman Qi pretending to be unwell to seduce the emperor, she beat nobleman Qi, and her face was swollen. Concubine Yue was protecting her cousin, and when she knew about this, she became angry and dragged nobleman Qi I went to find the emperor, and the emperor was so angry that he locked the queen in confinement and asked her to contemplate her mistakes behind closed doors."
Mrs. Su nodded, she got a general idea about the affairs in the palace.
Su Fengnuan was really confused when he thought about the affairs of the family this day. In this capital city, there is either cloud or rain, and sometimes lightning and thunder are added. It's hard for her mother to be willing to send a box of Tianxiang Brocade to bring this Eunuch Sheng closer. Eunuch Sheng is the chief steward by the emperor's side. If you hold him close, you will be able to be taken care of. own people.
"Today, besides Miss Xuansu, the emperor also announced Ye Shizi from Rong An's mansion to enter the palace, but Ye Shizi hasn't come yet." Feng Sheng whispered again, "After the queen mother heard about it, she also announced Xiao Guojiu from the Guozhang's mansion. Uncle Xiao Guo hasn't come yet."
Su Fengnuan frowned upon hearing this, and the two of them came too, wouldn't it be a lively day
