Chapter 171 Night returns to the snow (1st update)
Su Rong thought of the files he read in the prince's dark cubicle, including those from the Chengguo Duke's Mansion, a big pile. At that time, he specifically mentioned Lu Weiran.
She asked: "Are the Lu family in western Sichuan and the Chengguo Palace in the capital the same origin?"
"Yes. They are from the same clan." Duan Hua said: "This branch in the capital was granted the title of Duke of the State as early as the time of the late emperor because of its merits in rescuing the emperor. Although it is not as hereditary as the Duke of Protector, it is only hereditary for three generations.
But it is rare to be granted the title of Duke. Their family members are all good at reading, and they do have some vision and ability. Otherwise, they would not be granted the title of Duke with just one rescue effort. The branch in western Sichuan is the main family, and the branch in Beijing is
The development is better than that in Western Sichuan, but it does not forget its roots and always supports the family. It has a good reputation. The Lu Fengyan who came to Beijing to take the exam this time is from the Lu family in Western Sichuan. If it were not for the descendants of the Duke of Chengguo over the years
The internal fighting is too fierce, Lu Weiran's official position should be higher than it is now, and he won't be just a small household head."
Su Rong nodded. She had met Lu Fengyan. She hadn't seen the files from the Chengguo Palace at the time, so she didn't know that they were from the same lineage. She also wanted to drag Lu Fengyan into the East Palace. Now it seems that such a complicated internal fight is
It is really easy for things to happen to the ruthless Duke Cheng's Mansion. If it is possible to avoid involving the Duke Cheng's Mansion, it would be better not to involve him. Of course, if necessary, it would be better for the talented Lu Fengyan to side with the East Palace.
Before the scientific examination, she sent Fengling to squat in Lu Fengyan's yard for a few days, but she didn't find out anything. Lu Fengyan worked hard every day to read books and didn't associate with any random people. Only Zhao Shu was with him.
He lived together and did not live in the Chengguo Duke's Mansion. It can be seen that he must have known that the internal strife in the Chengguo Duke's Mansion was too chaotic, and he was afraid that it would affect his scientific examination. He was a smart man.
Duan Hua added: "It is said that Lu Fengyan is pretty good-looking. I haven't seen him yet. Let's go see him another day." She thought for a moment, "Let's just say it's the day the results are released. I guess there will be many people who want to catch his son-in-law."
, let’s join in the fun and see who will be caught this year.”
Su Ronxiao, "Okay."
She also loves to join in such excitement.
After Duan Hua finished talking about Lu Weiran and Lu Fengyan, he then talked about the rest of the Chengguo Palace, but it was obvious that she was not very interested in them, so she passed them by in a sentence or two.
After finishing talking about Cheng Guogong's mansion, she took a sip of tea and was about to talk to Su Rong about the unmarried young master from another mansion. At this time, she heard footsteps coming into the courtyard from outside. She turned around and immediately stopped and wanted to go down.
He continued talking and said to Su Rong: "Fengling is back."
Su Rong also heard the footsteps, turned around and saw Fengling entering the yard.
Duan Hua took a serious look and said, "He doesn't seem to be injured. He looks fine. How he was when he went out is what he will be like when he comes back."
Su Rong nodded, "It can be seen that there is no danger in this trip, and no one has silenced me."
Duan Hua: "..."
This is what she said. Why is it so wrong to hear Su Rong say it now?
While they were talking, Fengling entered the house, and the two of them walked out of the house and came to the painting hall.
Fengling met Su Rong and asked, "Sister, did it go well for me to go to the Duke Protector's Mansion? Is the matter completed?"
"It went well, it was done." Su Rong was not in a hurry to tell him what happened, but asked him, "Who is that person? Has he been found out?"
"It was found out. Not only was it found out, I also found out very clearly." Fengling sat down, probably because she was thirsty, so she poured three glasses of water down her stomach, wiped her mouth, and glanced at Duan Hua.
.
Duan Hua was confused, "What are you looking at me doing? Do you want me to avoid it? Can't I listen?"
Fengling understood when she heard the words. Knowing that Su Rong had told her, she immediately smiled and said, "Why not? Yes, I think it's because I'm hungry, Princess."
I mean, can we finish our meal first?
Duanhua was speechless, "You siblings are worthy of being together." She said, "Put the food on the table."
Someone responded and hurriedly went to the kitchen to spread the word. Soon, a large table of delicious food was delivered to the kitchen one after another.
After the three of them finished eating and the maid put away the dishes, Feng Ling spoke slowly: "That man's surname is Ye, his name is Ye Guixue, he is the second son of Prime Minister Ye's Mansion in Nanchu..."
"Ah! Ye Guixue, I know him." Duan Hua exclaimed.
Su Rong also knew about Ye Guixue and looked at Fengling in surprise, not expecting that the person in the carriage was Ye Guixue.
It is rumored that the second son of Nanchu Ye Xiangfu is talented and famous all over the world.
Fengling nodded and continued: "Back then, the aunt of Duke Chengguo married Nanchu Yexiang and became the wife of Yexiang. They had two children. When Ye returned to Xuexinger, the little girl he brought with him was his
The eldest brother's name was Ye Qiuying. Due to the death of his mother, the eldest brother married another man. His step-sister-in-law was from a higher family and was not a tolerant person. Therefore, the concubine of Chengguo Palace asked him to send his little niece to the Protector of the Country.
Keep him in the house for a while."
Duan Hua opened his eyes wide, "This lady has been married to Nanchu for many years. I'm afraid she has some misunderstanding about the current Chengguo Duke's palace. How can she think that the woman she married is better than the wolf's den in Chengguo's palace? Can she be raised well?
Her little granddaughter?"
Su Rong was thoughtful.
Fengling continued: "Master Ye was granted a marriage by the King of Nanchu a few months ago and is about to marry a young lady from the Nangong family. It is said that the young lady from the Nangong family is domineering, has a very bad temper, is very bad, and has even had a human life on her hands. So.
, the Prime Minister’s wife thought about it and felt extremely uneasy. She thought of her mother’s family, the Chengguo Duke’s Mansion in Daliang, so she asked her second son to send him to be educated for a few years. Even if the Chengguo Duke’s Mansion is a den of jackals again, Ye Qiuying
A little foreign girl is still a child. For the sake of Ye Xiangfu, there should be no one involved to make things difficult for her and drag her into that mess. After all, Ye Xiangfu’s status in Nanchu is not low."
Duan Hua sighed, "It turns out that I want to marry the daughter of the Nangong family. The people in their family are very domineering. That is very scary."
Su Rong looked at her and said sincerely: "Princess, people outside seem to think you are domineering."
Duan Hua scratched her with his eyes, "My domineering behavior is different from that of their family. The women in their family are really ruthless. It is not an exaggeration to say that they have lives on their hands. It is said that two years ago, they
The woman in the family fell in love with a scholar who was rushing to take the exam, and asked the scholar to marry him, but the scholar refused to agree, so she had someone tie him to the horse's leg with a rope and drag him to death. But later he only lost money.
A sum of money will solve the problem, but the person who committed the crime will have nothing to do with it."
Fengling took over and said, "Yes, the person who is going to marry the eldest son of the Ye family is this famous old girl from the Nangong family, named Nangong Le."
Duan Hua: "..."
She muttered, "That's no wonder. Compared to Nangong Le, the wolves in Chengguo Duke's Mansion are cuter. If she became the little girl's stepmother, she would be tortured to death by someone else, even if she didn't dare to tell it.
If you come, you will come in secret."
She asked Fengling curiously, "The second young master of the Ye family is also very famous. Is he really good-looking?"
Fengling nodded, "Well, it's pretty good-looking, otherwise my sister wouldn't have asked me to check on him after taking one look at him from a distance in the carriage."
Duan Hua was about to move, "How beautiful is he? Is he really similar to Zhou Gu?"
Fengling thought for a while and nodded, "Well, it is very beautiful. If compared with Young Master Zhou, it is difficult to compare with him. If Young Master Zhou is the kind of spring flower, like the sun shining on it, Ye Er
Young Master is like the sea of red plum clouds blooming all over the mountains in the winter snow. They are all eye-catching at first sight."
Duan Hua: "..."
She turned to Su Rong and said to her: "I think you should stop thinking about it. The lintel of Nanchu Ye Xiang's Mansion is also high. If you feel that you and Zhou Gu are not suitable, then you and Ye Guixue will be even less suitable.
Not to mention Guanshan Wanli, he is also from a high-ranking family. After all, Zhou Gu is still from Daliang. The capital is only a thousand miles away from Jiangzhou, but what about Nanchu? Thousands of miles away."
Su Rong thought to herself, you are wrong. In terms of family status and future, this is really suitable. Because she will go to Nanchu sooner or later.
Fei Ling blinked her eyes, "It is said that the second young master, after sending people there that night, plans to stay in the Chengguo Duke's Mansion for a while. He will go back after his little niece gets used to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion."
When Duan Hua saw that Su Rong was silent, he flattened his lips and said, "The scientific examination in Nanchu was two years ago. If I remember correctly, Ye Guixue also took the scientific examination at the age of sixteen. It has been two years now. It is said that
He holds the position of Minister in the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"Yes, a senior official of the fourth rank in scarlet robes." Feng Ling nodded, "Second Young Master Ye is very powerful. He has been promoted to the fourth rank only two years after entering the court. The reason why he was promoted so quickly is not only because of the Prime Minister Ye's Mansion, but also
When he first entered the court in three months, he handled a big case. Longyan Dayue, the king of Southern Chu, promoted him to three levels in a row. In the past two years, he has done several big things. He was just promoted to the Minister of Civil Affairs not long ago.
Regarding the position, it is said that because of my little niece at home, I took a three-month leave. After three months, I will go to Dingmao, the Ministry of Civil Affairs."
"The King of Southern Chu liked him very much at first sight. Otherwise, why would he give a court official three months of leave, and he's not Ding You." Duan Hua confirmed with Fengling, "He doesn't seem to have a wife? I haven't heard of an engagement?
"
"Yes, there is no engagement and no wife." Feng Ling said.
Duanhua sighed and muttered, "It's just too far."
Su Rong took the words, "It's a little far, but it is said that the climate in Southern Chu is excellent, the water and soil nourish people, and the people born are not too ugly. There are not many ugly people in the entire Southern Chu country. If you are
I can't marry Zhou Gu in Daliang, and my eyes have been damaged by Zhou Gu. I can't find anyone good-looking, maybe I can look for her in Nanchu?"
