Sister-in-law Xuan had already prepared bathing soup and a brazier and was waiting at the gate! As soon as she saw the carriage stopping at the door, she quickly lit the brazier and asked the master to step in.【】
In front of the door, Su Xing had already led a group of servants, holding chicken feathers, and symbolically brushed Su Yi's bad luck under the door, and then they all embraced Su Yi into the inner courtyard.
Su San did not follow him in, but asked Su Xing to arrange for Xiao An and Yu'er to stay in the inner courtyard, and asked Yu'er to prepare some light food for Su Yi and bring it in later.
Only then did we enter the inner courtyard.
The eldest brother had already been helped in by servants to bathe and change clothes. Only Xuan's and Su Yi's two concubines, along with Xizi, two daughters and a group of maids and old ladies, were waiting in the main hall of the inner courtyard.
When Mrs. Xuan saw Su San coming in, she hurriedly led the whole family to greet her at the door. The younger one knelt down and kowtowed, while she bowed respectfully and said, "Ms. Xuan has met your third uncle!"
"I've met Third Uncle!" Two of Su Yi's concubines also followed suit!
Su Xizai had met Su San before. She was also kneeling at this time, and there were two girls beside her. They were about seven or eight or ten years old. They were wearing small floral cotton-padded jackets and had pink faces. They were extremely cute.
Su San smiled softly, nodded slightly, supported Xuan and said, "Sister-in-law, this is killing Su San. We are all members of our own family, how can we be so polite."
When everyone got up, Su San called over the two little girls and said, "Tell third uncle, what are their names?"
"I am Du Niang, and this is my sister Yun Niang!" Du Niang spoke quickly, blinked her eyes, and snatched away Yun Niang's words. Yun Niang was so angry that she pouted her lips, a little angry.
"Oh! They are all from the female generation!" Su San couldn't help laughing.
Xuan then explained: "Xuan's hometown is Guangnan Road! In our hometown, boys must have the word 'Xi' in their nicknames, and girls have to have the word 'Niang' in their names, so that they can make a living."
Du Niang and Yun Niang were born from two concubines, and Xuan only regarded them as her own daughters, so she used the word 'Niang' in their nicknames."
Xuanshi is soft-spoken, and looks about the same age as Yu Feng. Unexpectedly, she has an eleven-year-old child! Fengren got married early, and according to Xuanshi's age, he has an eleven-year-old son.
In fact, they were married at a late age. In comparison, the two concubines were much younger. How come they were almost students who had just entered college in the previous life, and they had such a big child. They couldn't help but give birth to many children inexplicably.
Feeling.
"Oh, that's it!" Su San smiled and said to Du Niang and Yun Niang: "Uncle San came a little unexpectedly today. He didn't expect it before, so he didn't have any preparations..." As he said this, he pulled out his sleeves.
He took out two 100-tael silver notes, gave one to Du Niang and Yun Niang each, and said, "Whenever you see something you like, just buy it and treat it as a meeting gift.
The two little girls were a little reserved! They were not as blinded by money as Xi Zai, nor did they jump up. They said politely: "Thank you, uncle!"
Well, they look like two little adults.
Su San sat aside, and Xuan chatted with her for a while. After a while, Su Yi put on warm home clothes and walked into the hall.
Mrs. Xuan hurriedly led everyone and bowed formally, which was a sign of welcoming the master back home! Su San also stood aside and greeted his eldest brother.
After taking a hot bath, Su Yi felt much better. At this time, Yu'er brought in some light food, only two side dishes, and two bowls of freshly cooked polenta!
Su Yi was really hungry. He didn't bother to talk and didn't mind the heat. He ate the two bowls of hot porridge quickly and sweat appeared on his forehead.
Xuanshi wiped Su's sweat with a handkerchief and regretted that she hadn't thought of preparing something to eat for the master. She touched Su San gratefully and thought to herself: This brother-in-law is really considerate!
After eating two bowls of corn porridge, Su Yi felt warm all over his body. After seeing the whole house full of family members, he didn't know what to say for a moment, as if he was a stranger in another world... He touched Xizi emotionally.
He held his two daughters in his arms, sat one on his knees, and then asked Su San, "What on earth is going on?"
With a 'bang' sound, Su San opened the folding fan in his hand and shook it gently while smiling. He briefly told everything about what happened in Tingyulou tonight.
After Su Yi listened carefully, he suddenly realized.
After listening to Su San's words, Xuan and others realized that the master had been released thanks to his brother-in-law. They immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Su San. Su San was frightened to the point where he hid aside and didn't dare to answer, causing a panic in the hall.
Busy.
After all, Su Yi was a man who had been in official circles for a long time. After suffering this disaster, his thoughts became even more profound. He knew that although the emperor was not astute in political affairs, he would never give himself up just because Su San's poem pleased him.
Let go.
While in prison, Su Yi had been thinking: The emperor had accepted Hu Shichen's informant, so he should not have impulsively thrown himself into prison and forced himself to tell the story! But he didn't know how the emperor would end up.
Now that I think about it, the emperor must have regretted it, so he used Su San's excuse to deliberately let himself go, hoping to slow down the situation and deal with it, right?
But, does Su San have any intention of taking the initiative to cater to you?
Although Su Yi didn't know it clearly, the fact was that his release was dependent on Su San. Although he was his own brother, he didn't need to be too polite, but Su Yi was quite touched by his words.
Everyone chatted about the household affairs together, and Su Yi asked about some of the conditions at Wuling Mansion. He felt relieved when he learned that everything was fine.
Because there were still many questions in his mind, he couldn't ask Su San in front of the women. Seeing that Su San didn't seem to want to leave, he asked the women to go back and rest while he talked to Su San alone.
There is no moonlight, no starlight, there is only thick black in the sky. The weather is changing tomorrow!
Su Yi watched his wife and children leave one by one, and saw the darkness in the sky. He gently closed his eyes, and suddenly opened them again. He understood the surrounding environment and made sure that he was not in prison, and then he laughed to himself.
Laughing, looking at the empty hall, he said: "It's so cold at high places! The higher you are in a high position, the less courage you have! It's only been a few days since I've been here, and you're already in such a state of desolation, it's a joke to my third brother!"
Su San waved her fan and smiled slightly, but said nothing.
Su Yi stood up, walked to the door, covered the hall door with his own hands, walked around the hall twice more, and then stopped in front of Su San, and said quietly: "What you just said was lively! Another comparison.
Poems, writing poems and composing lyrics again! Brother knows that you don’t like to be in the limelight anymore! Tell me the truth, did you do all this intentionally? You guessed that the emperor was riding a tiger and was in trouble, so you deliberately wanted to give him a break.
Brother’s excuse?”
When Su San saw Su Yi's question, she glanced at Su Yi gently. The fan she shook in her hand stopped, as if she was thinking seriously about Su Yi's question! After a while, Su San shook her fan again and nodded with a smile.
Su Yi's expression was slightly surprised. He didn't expect that his brother really did it intentionally! He couldn't help but asked anxiously: "So, you have already guessed that the emperor is riding a tiger and is unable to get off?"
Su San shook his head and said: "Brother is wrong!"
