Something big happened in early October.
The eldest young master Su Mingfeng, the eldest son of Nanbo's family in Zhongping in the Ding capital, suddenly became seriously ill and had to recuperate at home. Ping Nanbo loved his son dearly, and took care of the young master Su at home with his wife. The affairs at the military horse farm were temporarily put on hold. His Majesty gave some gifts to express his condolences, and asked a new receiver to take over the matter.
The people in the Ding capital felt embarrassed and sighed for this. The young and talented young master Su made great achievements shortly after entering the official career. Seeing that he was about to progress smoothly and his future was boundless, he suddenly fell ill with this serious illness. If it is really jealous of talents, if it is delayed for three or five years, I am afraid that if I go back again, there will be no place for the court to stand.
The people see it this way, but the colleagues in the court are not sure. A smart person said: "Why is this sickness, this is clearly to avoid disaster. I originally thought that the Su family was like cooking oil on fire, and it was about to burn itself. I don't want to be able to see the situation now.
When these things came to Shen Miao’s ears, she was standing in the courtyard trimming the branches and leaves of the Begonia flowers. In the past few days, I went to school in Guangwentang. Because of the matter of Young Master Su, everyone had new conversations, but they didn't pay much attention to her coming. She also rarely has a few days of leisure.
"Girl now likes these flowers and plants." Gu Yu smiled and said, "This begonia flower is really good."
The crimson petals of the begonia flower showed a bit of agility in the chilling autumn day. When she was a queen, she learned to control the vitality of the harem, helped Fu Xiuyi win over powerful officials, went to Qin State to be a hostage, and fought wits and courage with Madam Mei. Most of the At the time, they were all living in the midst of intrigue and palace fights, how could they be in the mood to cut flowers and relax like they are now
"Do you know why the begonias bloom so beautifully?" she asked.
Although Gu Yu didn't understand why his girl asked such a question, he still smiled and replied, "This is the seed that the steward brought back from outside. I heard that it is a very precious seed, and my wife also praised it. It looks very good."
Shen Miao gently shook her head.
Where is the reason for this
Just like the gloomy and bitter cold place in the palace, even the outside of the cold palace is full of flowers, but it is because the flowers are covered with bones. The most beautiful things in the world have the coldest reasons.
The Su family already understands this truth, what will they do
She smiled slightly.
…
Ping Nanbo's house.
Young Master Su's yard was tightly guarded, and no one could enter except for the servant and his relatives. He could only smell the heavy smell of medicine inside, and Master Su closed the door to thank guests and saw no outsiders.
As a friend of Su Shizi's friend, Xie Xiaohou, naturally, he wants to visit the doctor.
The Xie family's carriage was parked outside the Su Mansion, and the servant was struggling to move the herbs from the top down. Those medicinal herbs are all packed in boxes, which is enough to show the dedication of Xie Xiaohou to his friends.
In the study, Su Mingfeng was dressed in blue cloth. Apart from being a little thin, his expression was still the same as before. Where is there any sign of being seriously ill
Opposite him, the young man in brocade furrowed his brows and asked, "Avoid trouble?"
"Not bad." Su Mingfeng looked at his friend and sighed: "Now you can see that the Su family is getting better and better. The Su family has been going on for several generations. From the point of view of military horses, it really shouldn't move up. But Instead of suppressing, His Majesty is holding the Su family more and more."
“You have also made meritorious deeds.” Xie Jing Xing reminded.
"Because of the merits, both my father and I are quite proud, but we have forgotten the hidden dangers behind them. If the merits increase, it will be a disaster. You can understand what I said, but it was inevitable that the Su family was in it. One leaf is blinding the eyes, and now it is suddenly clear, and it is very dangerous to have to rein in the precipice."
“It’s fine to do this.” Xie Jing Xing nodded, “It’s just that you have to stay at home for a few years for nothing.”
"I just hope that the Su family is safe and sound." Su Mingfeng said, "Stop talking about me, tell me how you are? go down.
Xie Jing Xing raised his eyebrows, "I don't enter the official position, how can he bear me? The Xie family is only a Lin'an marquis, and he always has to take care of everyone in the world."
Xie Jing Xing was different from Su Mingfeng, Su Yu put his son into a career early for the Su family. But Xie Jing Xing did not enter the official position and only had an idle job. On several occasions, he accompanied Xie Ding on expeditions, and he was also named as a parent and child. Even if the royals wanted to suppress the Xie family, they would not suppress a family whose son did not take over.
"You are so far-sighted." Su Mingfeng couldn't help but smile.
“I am not trying to prevent him.” Xie Jing Xing said lazily.
It is true that he is not to beware of the royal family, but to fight against his father.
"However," he frowned and suddenly turned his head and said, "Why did you suddenly figure this out. I reminded you several times before, but I didn't pay attention."
Su Mingfeng bowed his head in shame: "I used to fight for a moment, but I was just proud, how could I think so much. This time, thanks to my second brother."
“Your second brother?” Xie Jing Xing was leaning on the chair lazily, he sat up straight after hearing this, a strange look flashed in his eyes: “That glutinous rice dumpling?”
It's not uncommon for Su Minglang to be a stupid dumpling. How could he remind the Su family of these things? Could it be that Su Minglang took the wrong medicine
Su Mingfeng explained the ins and outs, and finally said: "If the second brother hadn't made a mistake this time, maybe it would have caused a catastrophe?"
"Mistake?" Xie Jing Xing whispered to himself.
At this moment, I heard a childish voice: "Brother, mother asked me to bring you snacks."
Su Minglang walked in with a plate of shortbread in the shape of a flower and walked in with his short legs. He was as plump as a dumpling, and there were a lot of cake crumbs on the corner of his mouth. It was obvious that he had eaten it on the way. a lot.
These days, because of his inadvertent reminders, the Su family changed their strategies, and even Master Su, who was most dissatisfied with him, felt for the first time that his son "will be of great use", "smart and agile", and "wise but stupid". Mrs. Su even cooked food for him in different ways, but in just a few days, Su Minglang gained a lot of weight.
Seeing that Xie Jing Xing was still there, he could not help but lower his voice a few times, for some reason, he was always a little afraid of his brother, this handsome friend.
Su Minglang put the dim sum on the table, and said, "Brother, I'm leaving." He turned around and ran away, not wanting to be grabbed by the collar.
Looking back, the young man dressed in brocade and splendidly squatted down and touched his head, his peach blossom eyes were lively with a smile, but his eyes were indifferent.
He asked, "Who taught you that sentence?"
Su Minglang widened his eyes.
"The cunning rabbit is dead, the running dog will cook it." Xie Jing Xing smiled with a very evil spirit.
