After hearing that King Ruian had taken over the case, Fengling thought about it and left Dali Temple immediately.
He stayed there for two days and finally discovered that the water in the palace was really deep. The entire Dali Temple was like a sieve, with air leaking from all directions. He didn't know how the Dali Temple minister could sit in his position without being disturbed by many forces. He was squeezed in because he had no official position and was just sent by the Princess Palace to keep an eye on the progress of the case. In fact, it was useless because he didn't even find out who poisoned the old bustard.
He was so depressed that he simply left without saying anything.
When she returned to Shen's Mansion and met Su Rong, Fei Ling complained to Su Rong, "It's really hard for His Highness to support the Crown Prince for so many years by ruining the government and harboring evil."
From just one Dali Temple, you can glimpse the tip of the iceberg, and everywhere else you can see the same leakage.
Su Rong had already expected it. After hearing that he had poured enough beans, she poured him a cup of tea and comforted him, "Moisten your throat. Your purpose is not to investigate the case, so don't get angry."
Fengling was really a little angry, but after hearing what Su Rong said, she immediately stopped being angry and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, no matter how the court situation is broken, it has nothing to do with us. We are only responsible for helping His Royal Highness break the current situation." If the government is to be managed and rectified, it will be His Highness the Crown Prince himself in the future."
After saying this, he felt that he had been squatting for two days in vain, and he suddenly panicked and said to Su Rong: "Master, I have to have a good meal to relieve my fatigue."
Su Rong nodded, "Go see Aunt Shen yourself and say hello. Aunt Shen knows that you like to eat, so she will ask the kitchen to add more food."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Fengling stood up immediately and walked briskly.
If he were an ordinary secret guard, he would not have to meet his master, but Fengling was different after all. Now he could be regarded as a sibling with Su Rong in the capital.
Feng Ling had a sweet mouth and attracted people's attention. After meeting Mrs. Shen, Mrs. Shen asked the kitchen to prepare a large table of dishes that night. When Shen Xian returned home, they all had a meal together.
Mrs. Shen was very happy, "This house has been deserted for a long time. Now that you are here, it seems lively. Otherwise, it would be deserted. Why don't you stay here forever?"
Su Xingze said quickly: "I have been harassing my uncle and aunt for a long time, how can I stay here forever?" She glanced at Su Rong and said, "If we stay here for another three to five days, let's go back to Dongsi Hutong?"
Mrs. Shen disagreed, "No, it's hard to find a girl who can talk to me during the day, listen to me, and stay here."
Su Rong blinked, "Three or five days is less, so let's stay for seven or eight days, right?"
She mainly did it for Fei Ling. This guy's eyes lit up when he saw the food on the table today. He probably wouldn't get tired of eating it for seven or eight days. And she also wanted to give others a chance to kill her again and stay here all the time. In the Shen Mansion, people in the capital were afraid of Shen Xian, the official minister, and would never dare to break in and take action. Although the prince told her not to do anything recently, she didn't necessarily have to stay in the Shen Mansion obediently.
Shen Xian coughed and said with a sullen face: "If you live in a good place, you will be released on the list, otherwise you are not afraid of being listed on the list and catching your son-in-law?"
Su Xingze: "..."
Su Rong smiled and looked at Su Xingze with joy, "Brother? I'm not wrong, right? It seems you really need to pay more attention. It is said that once every three years, when the results are released, each mansion chooses a son-in-law like a wolf or a tiger. Yes, it seems that you still have to stay in the Shen Mansion to be safe, Uncle Shen's reputation can protect you and no one dares to do anything to you."
Mrs. Shen also laughed, "Yes, yes, we just don't have a girl in our family. If there is, I will take her as my son-in-law as soon as possible."
Su Xingze also laughed, "Auntie also made fun of me."
"It's not that your aunt is making fun of you, but you haven't noticed how many people have been staring at you since you came to Beijing?" Mrs. Shen was funny, "I only went out to attend two banquets, and many people came to me overtly or covertly. Inquiring about your marriage."
Su Xingze was helpless, "If a man has never established a career, how can he settle down? No matter who asks, my aunt will help me push it!"
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded, "I've recommended it to you. Men are no better than girls, so there's no need to rush to get married. With your talent and learning, even if you don't have a family at thirty, you can still marry an eighteen-year-old girl."
Su Xingze: "..."
Su Rong couldn't help laughing, and nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes, brother, there is nothing to worry about, so there is no need to be anxious. The ones who are anxious are my six sisters."
She turned to Mrs. Shen and said: "Auntie, after my eldest brother reaches high school, you will have to worry about the marriage arrangements of my six sisters. My mother has kept the marriage arrangements of my sisters unarranged, just to wait for my eldest brother. In high school, choose a good family for all your sisters to be your real wives."
Originally, I had to wait for her to get married, but now I can no longer count on her, I can only count on her elder brother.
Mrs. Shen smiled and nodded, "Okay, I will keep this in mind. Starting from tomorrow, I will first select all the young men of the right age in the capital."
Su Rong took the opportunity to make a request, "It doesn't matter if you come from an official family or a merchant family. In short, the only requirement is to be a legal wife. If you meet someone with potential, it will be fine if your family background is slightly lower, but it will not matter if you are poor and have nothing." Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how hard it would be to accompany him to make a fortune. Their character, talents, and academics are all of the best. My six sisters are different from me. They are truly ladies raised by my mother, and they all learn how to manage the house and account. They are very good, and they have read a lot. In short, except for appearance, everything else is better than me."
Mrs. Shen laughed angrily, "How could you possibly elevate them and belittle yourself like this?"
Su Rong sighed and said honestly: "It's not that I'm trying to elevate them, it's that I'm really not as good as them in many aspects. My mother always said that I don't look like a lady, and I won't be a qualified person to marry in the future." Daughters-in-law, but they are different, they are first-rate in every aspect, they are absolutely capable, and they are better than many girls in the capital."
Mrs. Shen was also surprised when she heard this, "Okay, I will take care of this matter. Once suitable people are screened out, I will give you the list. If you think they are suitable, send someone to Jiangzhou to show your mother. If she is If you think it's okay, just bring someone to Beijing to see each other. Don't imitate others who marry blindly and blindly. You still need to take a look at each other to feel at ease."
Su Rong felt very good and nodded repeatedly.
After a lively meal, Shen Xiancai said to Su Rong: "Just live peacefully in the house and don't go to anyone's banquet these days. If you feel bored in the house, you can go for a walk on the street."
Su Rong blinked, "What if I want to go out to the city to visit the lake or go to the Great Buddha Temple to burn incense?"
Shen Xian glanced at her and said, "Just bring more people and protect yourself."
Su Rong smiled brightly, "Uncle Shen doesn't object, then I'll go out with Fengling tomorrow. The banquet is really boring. We haven't gone shopping inside or outside the capital yet."
Shen Xian did not object and nodded.
Mrs. Shen was not at ease and warned, "Be careful and don't get hurt again."
Su Rong smiled and agreed.
After dinner, when they returned to their residence, Fengling said to Su Rong eagerly: "Master, let's go out of the city tomorrow? Maybe we can lure the snake out of its hole."
Su Rong nodded and shook his head, "No one will take action in the near future. King Ruian's investigation will definitely make the capital tremble. Listen to the prince and behave yourself! It's okay to lure the snake out of its hole. It's okay to go out for a walk."
She thought for a moment and said, "Make an appointment with Ye Guixue."
I just took advantage of this free time to learn more about Nanchu with him.
Fengling thought about it and said, "Okay!"
The two agreed that just when Su Rong was going to ask Ziye to deliver a message to Ye Guixue, someone sent a message from Duan Hua, saying that she was coming to see her. Su Rong could only agree to Duan Hua's request.
The next day, after breakfast, a servant came to report that Princess Duanhua was coming to pick her up and the carriage was waiting outside the mansion. The two of them packed up, informed Mrs. Shen, and went to the gate of the mansion.
At the door of Shen's Mansion, Duan Hua and Ye Qiu Ying were sitting on the carriage, one big and one small, with two faces. They looked at the door and saw Su Rong and Fei Ling coming out, their expressions showed unanimous joy.
Su Rong smiled and greeted, "Duanhua, Qiuying."
Ye Qiuying opened her big grape-like eyes and shouted very cutely, "Sister Su Qi, brother Fengling."
Duanhua coughed reservedly, sat up straight, and urged her and Fengling, "You two are walking so slowly, hurry up and get in the car. Today there is a storyteller by Mr. Zhao at Yipinxiang Teahouse. His book It's very good, just one day a month. I booked a place half a month in advance, otherwise there would be no room to stand."
Su Rong didn't expect that Duanhua was going to take her to a teahouse to listen to books, and he was so enthusiastic. She quickly got in the car and asked, "Why do we just talk about it for one day?"
"Oh, that old man is not short of money. He is just reading books for fun. He likes the feeling of others listening to his books and holding him up. His son is a tea merchant, and Yipinxiang Teahouse is opened by his family. At his age, he can't do it. Do you want to have your own temper?" Duanhua moved a place for Su Rong to sit down, and then looked at Fengling.
Fengling waved her hand, "Princess, I won't go inside, just sit in front of the car with the driver."
Duan Hua nodded, lowered the curtain, and told the coachman, "Let's go quickly!"
