"Liang Tian, I'm sorry for your spiritual stone. You can be promoted to city lord, but forget about the palace! And the position of the palace will still be mine in the future!"
Ning Yu was extremely proud.
"Of course, if you allocate your daughter to me, I may consider leaving this position to you when I step down from the position of the palace! Hahaha!"
Ning Yu almost laughed out loud when he thought of this.
Ning Yu finished writing the secret letter and sent it back to Ning Mansion using his own messenger bird. While Ning Yu was happy, he also planned to take the time to meet his literary teacher Tang Bai, hoping to use Tang Bai's reputation to build a public opinion foundation for his future in Sujiang Mansion.
Let’s talk about Su Mu.
After seeing Ning Yu off, he returned to the attic. After a while, Su Hu's groom Lu Wu came.
After Su Mu explained something, the groom Lu Wu left again with an excited expression.
"I hope he can come back, and I hope he can take over everything from me. The Su family's thousand-year-old foundation must not be destroyed in my hands," Su Mu murmured to himself.
After a while, he shouted again: "Su Cun!"
"Master, what are your orders?" Butler Su Cun came in.
"Modify the family tree and add a name, Suning, next to Su Hu, Su Hu, and Su Zhen."
"Yes, sir!" Su Cun agreed happily.
"Get ready again. Tomorrow I will go to the family ancestral hall to burn incense and pray!" Su Mu ordered again.
"Yes, sir!"
…
As for Sultan, her tears didn't stop after she returned to the bedroom.
In essence, she is a weak person. She has never met her mother, nor received maternal love. As for her father's love, she does not feel much. Although Su Huhao regards her as the apple of his eye and loves her very much, she knows very well in her heart. , women have no status in the Su family. Women are just bargaining chips or chess pieces for the Su family to exchange for honor and status. The former aunt Su Zhen is an example.
Although she has never met the aunt who is known as the most beautiful woman in Sujiang Mansion, she has heard about it from some servants and maids, and even secretly saw a portrait of her.
When she saw the portrait, she felt that her aunt was ethereal and that Chu Chu was the most beautiful woman in the world. Even her clothes and hairstyle were the most beautiful, so she dressed herself up like this. She also knew that her aunt was very talented and kind, and had superb medical skills. She had saved the lives of countless people in Sujiang. She was even called the Su Medical Fairy by the people of Sujiang, and had won a good reputation for the Su family.
But such an outstanding woman was just a chess piece in the Su family. What was even worse was that when the chess pieces could no longer be reused, they also carried out actions to attack and destroy her.
"Grandpa, you are still so cruel. You want to treat me as a new chess piece and a new bargaining chip!" Sudan realized that she would have the same fate as her aunt. She even felt that she was not as good as her sister-in-law, because at least Su Zhen still had a sweetheart and was with her. His sweetheart eloped.
"Sweetheart? It's a pity that apart from my cultivation, I don't even have a sweetheart. Even the opportunities to meet men are arranged by others!"
When she thought of this, her tears fell. Suddenly, he touched his tears and walked to the window. Looking at the sky, there was a cloud walking towards the west in the moonlight, elegant and calm. ,free.
"Why should I live according to other people's arrangements? Why can't I live according to my own ideas?"
She suddenly muttered these two words to herself.
"Miss, what are you talking about? Look, you have been crying all day today and your eyes are swollen. You should take a bath and rest early!" An older maid reminded her.
"Sister Yingzi, you said that Master Chen's poems have been compiled into music and spread around, can you sing it!?"
"Well, I can sing, but it's not appropriate to sing today!" Yingzi said.
Sudan said: "It's okay, I don't have anyone here, just sing here, just keep your voice down."
At this moment, Sultan seemed to have been reborn. He had given up the worries of his father's death and becoming a bargaining chip, and just wanted to do what he liked.
At this time, she already had a favorite person in her heart, Chen Xing'er. The poems written by Chen Xing'er are so beautiful, and the people, things and situations in the poems are also so thought-provoking. She felt that Chen Xing'er must be a talented and handsome man, otherwise he would not be able to write such beautiful poems.
"Then I'll sing his Changganxing!" Yingzi thought about it.
"good!"
"Ride, my husband, my bamboo horse will come, go around the bed, make green plums... live together, we are long in the road, we are young, there is no need to guess..."
Folk songs rich in Jiangnan flavor sounded in this sad and lonely courtyard, immediately filling the courtyard with vitality.
The Sudan listened with rapt attention, as if he was imagining that there was a beautiful little boy riding a little bamboo horse, singing songs around his childhood home.
It's a pity that she doesn't even have a close friend. Even in Sujiang Academy, she doesn't have time to communicate with other men and women.
Because of her identity and beauty, many people did not dare to have much contact with her. Even if someone showed the courage, they would be chased away by the guards as having evil intentions.
Of course, she did not like the students in Sujiang Academy. No matter whether they were literary or martial arts, none of them caught her eye.
"By the way, Yingzi, how old is Chen Xing'er and what does he look like?" Sudan suddenly asked after listening to the song.
"I heard that he is only 20 years old. His appearance is unclear. However, I heard that someone is selling his portrait in Baihuafang. It was painted by a fortune teller named Ling Er!"
Yingzi was a maid, so she could enter and leave Ningxia Villa freely. In addition to hearing about lyrics and music, she also heard about Master Chen Xing'er.
Sudan's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up: "Then go and buy one for me!"
"Ah, you have to go to Baihuafang to buy that. How embarrassing is that!" Yingzi blushed.
"Good sister, will you just go? Please!"
When Sultan started to act coquettishly and pouted her sexy little mouth, her charming look and numbing voice were even something that even Yingzi couldn't stand or refuse.
"Okay, miss, please spare me, why don't I just go!"
"Thank you sister!"
Sultan said and kissed Yingzi's cheek. Yingzi's face turned red and she thought to herself, Miss, why did you suddenly become like this?
Yingzi said weakly: "But how can I get there? I'm a girl?"
"This?" Sudan was also stumped.
However, she was born smart and had read a lot. She immediately paid attention and said to Yingzi: "Why don't you sneak in with a woman dressed as a man? If a woman harasses you, just say you are just here to buy a portrait!"
"This won't expose the secret?" Yingzi asked.
Sultan said excitedly: "Of course, OK, I will personally help you put on makeup. By the way, you first go find a servant's clothes!"
Yingzi is also a young man. Her parents did not discipline her much since she was a child. She is quite courageous and excited: "I know I can find the servant's clothes in the laundry room."
Yingzi immediately prepared to steal clothes. The time is just right now. If it were later, the washed clothes would be sent to various places.
However, at this moment, Sultan suddenly realized: "Yes, why am I so stupid? Yingzi can dress up as a man, and so can I!"
Thinking of this, she immediately stopped Yingzi and gave her instructions again.
After a stick of incense, Yingzi came back.
After another stick of incense, they appeared outside Huxiao Villa.
"Miss, I didn't expect that we really succeeded. Miss, your makeup skills are really amazing!"
Yingzi excitedly praised Sultan's makeup skills.
Now the Sultan looks like a boy, and Yingzi looks like a handyman.
The Sultan is extremely proud. Tonight, you can hang out with Brother Su and me, and I will ensure that you are popular and drink spicy food. Sultan lowered his voice and pretended to be heroic.
Yingzi was about to respond like a man's voice, but at this moment, a somewhat demented man appeared in front of them.
This man was none other than Sud who secretly protected Sultan.
"Su De, don't worry, there won't be any danger in our appearance, so you don't have to follow us!"
"No, I promised you, sir, that I must protect you!"
Su De was a bit demented, so he stayed focused.
The Sultan frowned.
However, Yingzi said: "Brother Su, it's good to have an extra bodyguard. If anything happens, he can help us block it!
Sultan was right and turned to Su De: "Then you should restrain your breath, follow me obediently, and don't talk!"
Su De said blankly: "This is okay!"
"Remember, we are all men, call me... Young Master, and you must keep it a secret. Never tell Grandpa or Butler Su that I have been out!" Sultan warned again.
"This is okay too!"
Su De agreed.
The Sultan was overjoyed.
Although Yingzi was a maid, she had also practiced some martial arts with the Sultan, and her hands and feet had good muscles and bones. Therefore, the three of them walked very quickly, and after a stick of incense, they arrived at Baihuafang.
But there was a sea of people at the entrance of Baihuafang. The entrance was surrounded by people, and they were all shouting:
"Chen Xing'er! I love you!"
"Master Chen! I like you!"
"Master Chen! Master Chen!"
…
When Sultan heard everyone shouting so excitedly, he felt a little excited, but he couldn't confirm it. He ordered Yingzi to ask, but Yingzi shouted rudely to a scholar: "Why are there so many people surrounding the door calling Master Chen? "
"Brother, don't you know?"
Yingzi's eyes widened: "Of course I don't know, otherwise why would I ask you?"
The scholar said with some fear: "I heard that Master Chen Xing'er will appear in Baihuafang tonight. Everyone wants to go in and see the master!"
"Don't lie to me!" Yingzi was so excited that her voice became thinner.
The scholar was puzzled, wondering why his brother's voice had become thinner.
