Bai Liyu has already gone to the northwest, while Su Qing is still staying in the southwest. At this moment, her carriage slowly stopped in front of Changping Mansion Street.
The door of Shumen was open, and the officer on duty felt that a fairy had come down from the carriage. When he saw her eyes, he looked over. The officer did not dare to stare at her, so he quickly lowered his head and said, "I don't know if this lady is going to the Yamen."
What happened?"
Su Qing was happy to see their attitude: "Are the officials so polite to ordinary people? I'm here to see Mr. Changping."
"It turns out he is an old friend of Lord Changping. My Lord has ordered that everything in the southwest is in need of reconstruction. Officials are not allowed to show off to the people. It's just an unlucky time for Madam to come today. My Lord's family is here, so I'm afraid I won't have time to see Madam today.
"
"Changping's family? Someone is coming from the Ningyuan Hou Mansion in Xixiang? Who is coming?"
"Marquis Ningyuan? My lord is the son of Marquis Ningyuan?" The people at the street gate looked disgusted, and then they realized that their lord was actually the son of the Marquis.
Ordinary officials are not well-informed. They only know that their lord is a high-ranking official from Kyoto who is specially appointed to govern the Southwest.
If this lady knows the identity of their adults, she must not be an ordinary person.
The official came to his senses and said quickly: "Go back to Madam, here are my lord's mother and sister."
"Take me there." Su Qing walked in directly.
She had learned about the relationship between Ning Yuan Hou's family. Ning Yuan Hou's first wife, Chang Ping's mother, was originally the daughter of a famous wealthy businessman in Xixiang.
She died in childbirth while pregnant with her second child, and the child in her belly could not be saved. The next year, Marquis Ningyuan welcomed his childhood sweetheart into the house.
The mother who came here must be Changping's stepmother.
When the officer saw Su Qing going directly to the street gate, he probably wanted to stop her, but the lady's aura did not look like that of an ordinary person, so he asked cautiously: "You haven't asked me about my identity yet?"
Su Qing glanced at him: "The third prince's wife, the third princess."
"..." Guan Cha instantly felt as if roots were taking root under his feet, and he was unable to walk in the same place.
What did he hear?
You must know that this lady drove a carriage by herself and was not accompanied by any servants at all, so he did not think about the nobles at all at first.
Su Qing still needed the official to lead the way. When he found that he was not leaving, he looked over suspiciously: "Did Lord Changping tell me not to disturb him?"
She originally thought that Changping's stepmother was also a minister's wife. Now that she had met him, it was reasonable for her to meet his minister's wife.
The officer came to his senses and said: "No... no, I didn't know that Her Royal Highness the Princess is here. Just now... just now..." He didn't even kneel down just now!
The official plopped down and knelt on the ground: "Young man, please see the third princess."
Is it too late to salute now?!
"No gift." Su Qing also didn't expect that her identity would frighten people like this.
The official did not dare to say a word this time, and tremblingly took Su Qing to Changping's residence.
The residence is only in the study in Shumen's backyard. There was a wave of robbers here before, and the house in the backyard was completely destroyed. Changping now lives in the study. As he approached the backyard, Su Qing heard
A woman is talking.
"Ping'er, you went to Kyoto to take the No. 1 exam without saying a word. Your father was a little angry when he found out. I originally thought that you would at least have a chance to be successful in Kyoto, but now you have been sent to such a remote place in the southwest.
The place."
The lady took a breath and wiped her tears as she said, "How hard life is here, how can my mother be so relieved? Why don't you just inherit your father's title at home? Why don't you go out and do all the hard work? You are already tired and thin.
."
"That's right, brother, you've made dad so angry." A girl's voice said.
"Mom, try this southwest walnut cake, it tastes very good." Chang Ping's voice was very gentle.
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou was not in the mood to eat: "Ping'er, mother is telling you to be serious. Go and return this errand with the emperor and go home with mother."
Chang Ping didn't reply, and stared at the head that suddenly poked in at the door in surprise.
The princess is actually here?
The mother and daughter noticed Chang Ping's eyes, looked back suspiciously, and saw Su Qing appearing at the door.
"Where did this servant come from, so ignorant of the rules? Didn't you see the master talking? What are you doing here?"
Chang Ping's sister Chang Xinyu immediately shouted over with a straight face.
Mrs. Ning Yuanhou also frowned: "Who are you? You don't know how to call someone to report it?"
After saying this, she turned back to teach Chang Ping: "Ping'er, you have reached the age of marriage now, and I am really worried about being alone outside. If you confuse those who are interested outside, and make some jokes, wouldn't it be a shame?"
The face of Ningyuan Houfu."
Changping: "..."
Why don't you ask me first who this person is?
Even if they asked, Chang Ping didn't want to say anything.
He smiled perfunctorily at the mother and daughter, hurriedly came to Su Qing, and called her to the yard to talk: "Why is the princess here?"
"Inspecting the progress of your work, I will put a patient here with you." Wuhen, who had two ribs broken by Bai Liyu, was left to dry in the carriage.
Su Qing glanced at the mother and daughter who came to the door and looked at her speculatively: "Do you have a bad relationship with them?"
Although the woman is a little older, she is well-maintained and still has her charm. Chang Ping's sister looks about fifteen or sixteen years old.
When she first heard the stepmother's words of concern for Chang Ping, she thought she was a good stepmother.
But what Mrs. Ningyuan Hou said after seeing her was that she directly believed that Chang Ping was messing around outside, and she obviously wanted to ruin Chang Ping's character.
If Changping treated them as family members, he would introduce her to them.
After all, it is no joke to offend her by not knowing her identity. The status of Marquis Ningyuan of Xixiang is not comparable to that of the powerful people in Kyoto.
Chang Ping smiled helplessly: "The princess has such a clear mind, it seems I can't hide it from you."
"Wherever the princess's patients are, just bring them in."
"In the carriage outside." Su Qing said.
Chang Ping immediately wanted to follow Su Qing out. He remembered that there were two pairs of eyes staring behind him, so he turned around and said, "Mother, my son has a guest, so I won't accompany you for the time being."
Mrs. Ningyuan Hou nodded lovingly: "Then go and do your work."
Chang Xinyu was not happy to be left alone: "Mother, why don't you ask my brother who that woman is? Look at her charming look. If my brother does something dirty outside, it will bring trouble to our entire Ningyuan Marquis Mansion!"
This girl deliberately did not hold back her voice. Although she was talking to Mrs. Ningyuan Hou, her purpose was to tell Su Qing.
Since Su Qing heard that, he couldn't pretend that he didn't know. He immediately stopped and walked towards the girl with a cold face: "Girl, are you talking about me when you talk about me?"
