Isn't the girl in this painting none other than Miss Su?
Does the eldest brother have a crush on Miss Su?
Great, the mother-in-law asked me to handle today's banquet, and I finally didn't waste my efforts.
Xiao Dai suppressed the joy in her heart and said calmly: "Brother, don't worry, you practice first, I will find the person who sent the music score to write the lyrics another day, and you can also take the opportunity to compete in piano skills."
Before Xiao Kang could ask who the person who sent the score was, Xiao Dai had already left quickly.
After leaving the eldest brother's yard, Xiao Dai couldn't hold back her joy and went straight to the east yard.
"Dai'er, are you sure you read it correctly? The person your elder brother painted is really Miss Su?" After hearing the good news from her daughter, Princess Yannan couldn't believe it was true.
"Mother, it's absolutely true. My daughter accompanied Miss Su to the first hall today. The background of the painting is also the scene in the hall. My daughter also asked the maids who were on duty outside the hall today. They said that big brother is here. This is the corridor you walk around the garden when you go to the Flower Hall."
"Oh! Congratulations! The princess finally got the good news. The eldest master's red star has moved." Aunt Cai on the side was as happy as if she was getting a daughter-in-law, and congratulated the princess happily.
"Congratulations, Princess."
"There will be a happy event in our palace soon."
The maids in the room were all smiling and congratulating the princess one after another.
The wish to have a grandson finally saw the light of day, and the princess was beaming with joy.
She said to Aunt Cai: "Take the silver coins from my private treasury and reward everyone. The ladies and servants in the kitchen and the outer courtyard will all be rewarded."
Xiao Dai added, "Auntie said that at today's banquet, everyone performed their duties and did a good job without making any mistakes. The eldest brother is introverted and must not let anything out."
The princess looked at her daughter who was doing things calmly, with approval in her eyes. Nodding slightly, "Diel has thought carefully, so I will reward you as the eldest lady said."
Aunt Cai followed the order and left. The princess couldn't wait to hold her daughter's hand and said, "Dai'er, in a few days you will invite Miss Su to come to the palace to play. The mother-in-law sees that the girl is dignified and graceful. She has a good upbringing." girl."
"I'm afraid my mother doesn't know yet. Miss Su is from the capital. Her father was a Jinshi and once held a third-rank official position. If it hadn't been for some reason, their whole family would not have lived in Yannan, let alone come to Laiyang."
"My mother-in-law doesn't care about her father's official position, as long as she is in love with your eldest brother, that's enough. I think the future will be a good one, so you can send messages to Miss Su alone."
Seeing her mother-in-law's attitude of wanting to invite the matchmaker to marry her tomorrow, Xiao Dai covered her mouth and snickered.
"Concubine, you are too anxious. Miss Su seems quiet and quiet. She is smart and exquisite. If you are too deliberate, she will be embarrassed."
"Yes, yes, yes, the concubine is a little impatient. If your eldest brother is interested, it depends on whether Miss Su is interested. You should keep it in mind. If you find out what Miss Su is thinking about in the future, the concubine will ask the matchmaker to prepare a generous gift and go to Su." Propose marriage at home.”
The princess was overwhelmed with joy. After Xiao Dai reminded her, she felt that she had lost her sense of proportion.
The days flew by.
Xiang Song continued to receive news from various counties, and the collection of medicinal materials went smoothly.
Xiao Jingzhao has not been idle these days. He cannot just watch the epidemic attack.
He asked the Yamen to spread the news to Yannan that there might be a flood this year. He also asked the government doctor to list the precautions to prevent epidemics after the flood and compile them into a notice.
He personally sent it to Linjiang Academy and asked the mountain chief to find a careful and well-written scholar to copy it.
Su Nan also participated in copying. Su Yi was the eldest in the academy and was responsible for proofreading.
Su Yi sent the accurate stack of notices to the chief's study.
Seeing Xiao Jingzhao talking to the mountain chief in the study, Su Yi bowed, put down the notice and left.
When Xiao Jingzhao came out of Shan Zhang's study, he saw Su Yi still standing in the corridor not far away.
Xiao Jingzhao walked over and stopped, his eyes indifferent.
Su Yi saluted him and asked, "Is there an epidemic happening not far from the capital?"
"Not necessarily, just be prepared."
"She's fine." Before Su Yi could ask, Xiao Jingzhao added.
Su Yi lowered his eyes, "That's good."
Xiao Jingzhao knew that the Su family was thinking about Jiang Shuyue, so this was a comfort to the Su family. In the letter, Jiang Shuyue only talked about the current situation in the capital and the epidemic, and did not say a polite word to him in the rest.
She didn't bring a letter to the Su family, presumably because she didn't want to trouble herself.
Thinking of this, Xiao Jingzhao felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
Nangong Zeyue is as close to her son as father and son, so what is his relationship with Jiang Shuyue?
Su Yi coughed lightly, and Xiao Jingzhao's thoughts returned.
"Yan Nan will have the autumn exam soon, so prepare well."
In the past, when Yan Nan and the imperial court were not at odds, the scholars who passed the Yan Nan Autumn Examination would go to the capital to take the imperial examination in the coming year.
This year is special. Xiao Jingzhao has his own criteria for selecting talents. Whether these scholars will take the exam in Beijing next year depends on what happens next.
After Xiao Jingzhao finished speaking, he walked away.
After leaving the academy, he realized belatedly that he seemed to have talked too much today.
Is this Aiwujiwu?
Yes, the Su family was very kind to Sui Sui, so he was repaying the Su family's kindness for his son.
"Master, are we going back home?" Xiang Yang asked.
"No, go to the office."
When he arrived at the office, Xiao Jingzhao had people quickly deliver notices about epidemic prevention.
The efforts made by Xiao Jingzhao were not in vain, after the notices on epidemic prevention and precautions were sent out.
When the county governments learned that this recipe came from Yannan, the county magistrates from all over the country paid great attention to it and copied it and passed it on to others. Everyone passed it on word of mouth and told each other, and it soon spread throughout the Wanling Kingdom.
A few days later, Xiao Jingzhao was handling official duties in the study. When he got tired, he took out Suisui's portrait and looked at it again.
In order to reunite with his son as soon as possible, he would not hesitate even if he didn't sleep.
The sun is shining brightly outside the window.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the sky was covered with dark clouds. Big dark clouds were like thousands of troops flying over the palace.
A gust of wind that came in from the door rolled the paper on the desk out of the window and scattered it all over the floor.
Xiao Jingzhao put down his pen and ink and quickly chased after him.
Xiang Song was sent out to spread the news but he hadn't returned yet. Xiang Yang quickly closed the window and chased him out.
The master and the servant ran after the papers flying all over the courtyard.
At this time, a man walked in from outside. The man was in his early twenties.
The man was dressed in light green cloud satin brocade, with handsome features and a smile. He exuded nobility and a touch of bohemianism.
"Your Majesty."
When Xiao Jingzhao heard the shouting, he stopped and turned around, hurriedly waving to the person who came, "Xiangzhi, are you finally willing to come back? Help me quickly, there are my important things inside, don't throw away any of them."
"What is more important than me?" Lin Xiangzhi muttered, his body still sincerely chasing the paper picked up by the wind.
