Da Suining

Chapter 76
Xiang Suining returned to the Xiangfu in a carriage.

Tang Xiaoniang was already waiting at the gate of the mansion. Seeing Xiangyan, she naturally greeted Xiangyan affectionately: "It's been hard work after running for a long time. The incense is burnt. Is everything okay?"

Xiangyan was a little dazed.

Tang Xiaoniang asked twice more, Xiangyan broke free from her arm and went back to the room.

Tang Xiaoniang wanted to pull Xiang Guoxin, but Xiang Guoxin also broke away from her, and only followed Xiang Suining. Although he was Xiang Suining's younger brother in name, he had been raised by Tang Xiaoniang all these years, so although he had no relationship with Xiang Suining The collapse is almost there.

It is rare that he did not follow Tang Xiaoniang to kill his relatives, but followed Xiang Suining instead.

Tang Xiaoniang was also puzzled, after burning the incense once, why did her two children alienate her? Is this incense burning not serious?

When he reached the corner door in the backyard, Xiang Suining stopped.

Xiang Guoxin walked so fast that he almost stepped on Xiang Suining's shoes.

Xiang Suining glanced at him, Xiang Guoxin quickly jumped back two steps, holding onto a piece of bamboo to stop.

"Come here." Xiang Suining waved to him.

Xiang Guoxin jumped forward twice.

"You follow me, do you have something to tell me?"

"Yes."

"what's up?"

"Hahaha..." Xiang Guoxin leaned against the corner door and laughed.

Xiang Suining was very puzzled, before he and Lu Yu were chased by people and fled into the carriage, I don't know how embarrassing they were, but now they are laughing and laughing, what a childish temper.

"Second sister, guess what my brother took me to do today?"

"Your brother?"

"Doctor Lu Yulu."

It turned out that Lu Yu was his brother.

"What did you do?"

Xiang Guoxin looked around and made sure no one was following him, so he pulled Xiang Suining's sleeve and whispered: "Didn't the old bustard of Chunhualou corrupt two bank notes from Lu's house that day? I wanted to show her some color, so we two followed secretly, and it happened that the old bustard got out of the carriage halfway for convenience. My brother and I took the opportunity to hold her down and snatched the two bank notes. The old bustard At that time, we were frightened and didn't see us clearly, and then the people from Chunhualou came out to chase us, and they chased us all the way to Jiguang Temple, the Bodhisattva blessed them, they happened to meet the carriage in our house, and those people didn't chase us."

Lu Yu actually did this with a lot of heart.

This is a big vote.

People in Chunhualou have always obtained money from others, and these two people actually snatched money from Chunhualou. This is a deadly deal.

It's okay, it's okay, the bustard didn't see it was the two of them.

Fortunately, okay, he was not caught.

Peace is good enough.

Xiang Suining originally wanted to say that it was wrong to rob other people's banknotes, but on second thought, the madam abused Ah Shui like that, so he should just rob her of her banknotes, and just act as if he didn't know.

"Don't be so reckless in the future, what should you do if something happens?" Xiang Suining taught Xiang Guoxin: "Don't worry, I won't tell dad about this, but don't run away with Lu Yu in the future. If something happens to you Daddy will be sad."

Although Xiang Daying occasionally slaps Xiang Guoxin to have a good time, if Xiang Guoxin has something to do, he is more anxious than anyone else.

One day five years ago, there was a banquet in the Prime Minister's Mansion. The family members of several officials brought their children to the mansion to play with them. The children were playing and throwing stones by the pond of the Prime Minister's Mansion. The nuns should have watched them. Guo Xin ran away in a hurry, and flung away the nanny, then accidentally, the shoe fell into the pond, drifting farther and farther like a boat, in order to pick up the shoe, Xiang Guo Xin acted like a carrot, " fell into it with a sound.

Although the water in the pond was not deep, the nuns also fished out Xiang Guoxin early, but Xiang Daying was still scared and ran over from the banquet with her robe in her hands. Xiang Guoxin was crying, and Xiang Daying also wiped away tears , Xiang Guoxin spit out the water in his mouth, it was not a big deal, and Xiang Daying fell ill because of it later, which lasted for half a month before healed up.

If Xiangguo made a mistake, wouldn't it cost Xiang Daying's life, and the Xiang family would be wiped out.

"Second sister, do you also feel aggrieved by that old bustard who stole money from the Lu family?"

Xiang Suining thought for a while and nodded.

"Look, my brother really understands you." Xiang Guoxin recalled with a look of admiration: "Lu Yu said that the 2000 taels of silver was given to Chunhualou, sister, you must be unhappy, my brother really is in your belly roundworm."

"Forehead."

"Sister, my brother said, let me tell you something happy."

"what's up?"

"You close your eyes."

Ok.

There are so many tricks for children.

Xiang Suining closed his eyes, feeling the wind in front of him.

Opening his eyes, Xiang Guoxin took out two silver bills out of nowhere and was instigating them in front of her.

The bank note was from the Lu family, Madam Lu took it out that day, because the amount was too large, Xiang Suining had never seen it before, so she took a special look at it.

Where is this silver ticket? This is a hot potato.

"You robbed me of the silver ticket?"

Xiang Guoxin didn't care about 21, and just put the banknote into Xiang Suining's hand: "My brother said, even if the money is cheap, it can't be cheap for the bustard."

"What did you say?"

"I..." Xiangguo blushed in the heart: "Second sister, I was wrong. My brother said, it's useless for us men to ask for money anyway, so I'll give you the 2000 taels of silver notes, you girls If you want to buy a rouge or a bead flower, it’s all up to you. Of course, if you can’t finish the second sister, you can give me some of the flowers. You know, Dad is very strict with me. Never let silver pass the night in my hands."

"What do you want money for?" Xiang Suining took the bank note and stuffed it into his sleeve: "Your food and lodging are all at home, so you don't need money."

"Hmph." Xiang Guo rushed to Xiang Suining, stuck out his tongue and ran away.

Xiang Suining called him to stop: "Remember, don't let other people know about the bank notes. Your mother...Tang Xiaoniang can't even talk about it."

"I know Second Sister, I won't talk nonsense."

Xiang Suining was not at ease.

The 2000 taels of banknotes were extremely heavy in my hands.

After all, the Lu family is willing to give Chunhualou 2000 taels, and this bank note is considered Chunhualou's private property.

Lu Yu and Xiang Guoxin went to snatch it, but it's good that Chunhualou didn't care about it, if it is reported to the government, if the official wants to investigate, it will be easy.

Robbing 2000 taels, that is going to put you in jail.

Now they robbed the bank notes and gave them to Xiang Suining, but Xiang Suining didn't know how to sell stolen goods.

2000 taels of silver bills, oh my God, three cents for a pancake, six cents for a steamed bun, fifteen cents for a bowl of wontons, one pearl flower for half a penny, two pearls for a penny, and a silver hairpin for one tael or two. When will the money be spent?

This is a bank note, not silver. If you exchange a bank note for silver, it will easily leave traces.

Now it's better to hide the banknote carefully, so as not to shake Lu Yu and Xiangguo out.

Although Xiang Guoxin is only a little younger than Xiang Suining, he still has the temperament of a child, and he ran to the backyard again after eating a meal.

Xiang Suining was still talking about offering incense to Mrs. Xiang.

Naturally, Xiang Suining omitted all the bad things, and only told her that the incense in Jiguang Temple was very prosperous, and it must be because of the efficacies that so many people went to worship.

Mrs. Xiang then asked which people from the mansion had gone, who she met, and whether Xiangyan was really sincere. Xiang Suining just nodded to save Mrs. Xiang from being sad.

Xiang Guo sincerely greeted Mrs. Xiang.

Mrs. Xiang raised her eyes, she didn't seem to have a big reaction, this is her golden grandson, Mrs. Xiang was not surprised, I wonder if it was because Xiang Guoxin was raised by Tang Xiaoniang, Mrs. Xiang still treated him It's better to be warm to Xiang Suining.

"Did you come to pay my respects? No need, please go back." Mrs. Xianglao was too polite.

Xiang Guoxin winked at Xiang Suining.

Xiang Suining came out from Dongkua courtyard, Xiang Guoxin pulled her to talk under a grape vine.

At this time, the vines have already climbed to the shelves, and the leaves are also emerging. In summer, put an ice bucket, pick the grapes on the shelf, and eat one, which can cool your heart. This grape grows well and the variety is also Well, it is the same color as sapphire, a small one, sweet and not sour.

"Second Sister, the grapes haven't grown yet. When they do, I'll pick them and give you a bunch first."

"Fourth brother, do you have anything to do with me?" Xiang Suining wiped the sweat from his forehead with a small handkerchief: "Just say something."

"Second Sister, have you kept the bank note? You won't lose it, will you?"

"No, it's ready."

"Where have you been?"

"I can't tell you this." Xiang Suining smiled: "Do you have other business?"

"I calculated the account carefully, 2000 taels of silver, second sister, you will be worried if you can't spend it all by yourself? How about we spend it together? Yesterday, the third prince said that there is a fried bean jelly at the east gate of Qingcheng, which is the best. Yes, it’s only [-] Wen a bowl, or let’s try it tomorrow?”

"Fourth brother, the bank note cannot be moved."

"why?"

"Can't move now."

"When will you be able to move?"

"do not know."

Xiang Suining answered bluntly, and Xiang Guo felt extremely disappointed: "How did you learn from my little lady to control the money so tightly, what if we don't eat or drink thousands of taels of silver? What if I lose it? Thinking of this, I worry I can't sleep well or eat well."

This stupid kid.

Now it's the cusp of the storm, if you spend this money, what if it gets exposed?

Although the old bustard didn't see the person who robbed her of the money, she knew how the money came from and why it disappeared. She had spent half her life in Qingcheng, so it was easy for her to figure out the cause and effect relationship.

Just hold it still and wait and see.

"Where's the second girl in your family?" It was Eunuch Chang's voice.

I haven't seen Eunuch Chang for a long time. He took a dust whisk and walked into the Prime Minister's mansion tremblingly. Before Xiang Daying received him, he named Xiang Suining by name.

Xiangguo's calf trembled in fear, "Second Sister, Eunuch Chang knows about my brother and I robbing bank notes? It won't spread so quickly, will it?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Could it be that Master Fuya sent Eunuch Chang to arrest people?"

After all, Xiang Guoxin was still young, and he didn't know how to speak.

Even if the lord of the government office arrests people, there are servants to drive him away, so why would he appoint Eunuch Chang to come?Eunuch Chang is the emperor's personal eunuch, so it is naturally the emperor's intention that he come.

Xiang Suining held up the hem of her skirt and went to the inner hall as quickly as possible to meet Eunuch Chang. As soon as she entered the door, Xiang Daying scolded her with a sullen face: "For those who are not filial, hurry up and kneel down to Eunuch Chang."

Xiang Suining didn't know why, so he had to kneel down.

Xiang Guoxin only thought that something happened in the east window, and it was too bad, his legs softened, and he knelt next to Xiang Suining.

"Don't kneel on me, get up quickly." Eunuch Chang swept the whisk again: "Second girl, get up quickly, get up quickly."

"Eunuch Chang asked you to get up, so why don't you get up quickly." Xiang Daying yelled at Xiang Suining, while talking to Eunuch Chang with a smile: "I don't know, how can I offend you, Eunuch Chang, as a child who lacks restraint? Tell me." , See if I don't kill her."

"Master Xiang is a civil servant, so he will be beaten and killed at every turn. I see that the children are doing well, and having children is not just for fun. Don't scare the children anymore." Eunuch Chang was not happy.

"Yes, yes." Xiang Daying laughed along with him.

"Second Miss, let's go along with the palace. The emperor has a decree to call Second Miss to have an audience with her." Eunuch Chang's voice was soft, yet caring.

The whole family was dumbfounded.

Why does the emperor have to summon Xiang Suining alone when he has all kinds of opportunities?The emperor has never met her before, what is there to talk to her about?

Prime Minister Daying frowned and asked Eunuch Chang: "The emperor really wants to see our second girl? Didn't he summon me?"

"How could the old slave hear wrong?"

Tang Xiaoniang overturned a vat of vinegar in her heart, her throat was sour and bitter, there are not many women in Xuanguo who can be summoned by the emperor, even those wives who are appointed by the imperial court, right?Why did the emperor summon Xiang Suining alone? Could it be that he was planning to marry the princes?If this is the case, why didn't Xiang Yan summon Xiang Yan because she was the number one in the country?Could it be because Xiangyan crawled out of her stomach, she was a concubine?

Can't lose.

Tang Xiaoniang decisively pulled out the golden hairpin from her hair and stuffed it into Eunuch Chang's hands: "Elder-in-law help me to say good things, and take us three girls into the palace too. Our three girls are beautiful, and the emperor will be satisfied after seeing it."

The emperor said that he would see whoever he saw, why did he still jump in line.

Eunuch Chang didn't dare to be such a master, and he had no intention of bringing the third girl into the palace, so he put the golden hairpin back into Xiang Daying's hands, saying he was in a hurry, and took Xiang Suining away.

Xiang Daying was still in place.

"Let's go together, my lord. The emperor calls your daughter, you must watch over it, please be considerate." Eunuch Chang is still taking care of her.

Xiang Daying quickly followed.

The gate of Xiangfu is closed.

A group of people went to the palace in a carriage.

Xiang Guoxin looked at the gate of the Xiangfu foolishly, the guard at the gate was dozing off, the crabapple flowers planted at the gate were lazily blooming, and the leaves of a few plantains were curled up and hanging low.

Xiang Guoxin was very anxious, did the emperor know about the robbery of bank notes?This is really a good thing and bad things spread thousands of miles away, who speaks so fast?Xiang Suining was arrested in the palace because of this incident?
It’s over.

With a gloomy face, Tang Xiaoniang picked up the golden hairpin and threw it aside.

Xiang Yan grabbed the small handkerchief and complained angrily: "Mother always said that Dad loves me the most, so it can be seen that they are all lying to me. You see, the emperor has summoned the second girl. Whoever the emperor summons is either a reward or a gift, or It's Feng, although I am more beautiful than her, but the emperor didn't summon me, it must be that my father spoke well of the second girl in front of the emperor, and my father is partial."

"Yan'er...be safe and don't be impatient."
