There is a kind of scholar

Chapter 771: Tang Shujing, who showed off everywhere, and the former prince
Tang Shuwan wanted to know more about Su Xian than anyone else in the Tang family.

But she was waiting in the boudoir and could not easily step out of the door.

As a result, the little girl Minglan came out in a hurry, her round little face tightened, and she trotted towards the largest flower hall in the Tang Mansion.

The head of the Tang family and the clan elders are all gathered here, and the second young lady Tang Shujing will also go there after she returns home.

When Minglan rushed to the flower hall, she found that she was late. The second lady had already returned home, wearing a nice outfit, and was telling stories happily in the flower hall.

That's right, Tang Shujing put on the python robe on her way back home and showed it off everywhere.

The head of the Tang family and the clan elders listened quietly, with smiles on their faces. Their eyes fell on the python robe from time to time, with a hint of envy.

Outside the flower hall, surrounded by a group of servants, three floors inside and three floors outside, Ming Lan was so small that she couldn't squeeze in at all, she could only jump around on the outermost floor, secretly anxious.

Tang Shuwan's order to her was to take the second young lady Tang Shujing back immediately, but now she can't even see the second young lady...

Suddenly, bursts of exclamation and cheers erupted inside and outside the flower hall.

Minglan took a closer look, and it turned out that the second lady's story had a wonderful point.

The head of the Tang family and the clan elders all laughed, and some even took the lead in clapping. In the middle of the night, there was a lot of joy inside and outside the flower hall.

But Minglan couldn't be happy. With her big eyes bulging, she jumped and waved desperately outside the crowd, hoping to attract the attention of the second lady.

But it was useless.

In this way, after a period of time, Tang Shujing finally told the story of her triumphant return and her entry into the palace.

Everyone in the Tang family hurriedly cheered up. They had been waiting for most of the night, but they were actually waiting for this moment.

"...Next, His Majesty also granted the title of Taiwei to my brother-in-law! He is a first-class officer!" Tang Shujing looked proud, saying "brother-in-law" when she spoke, and also "brother-in-law" when she closed her mouth.

"Well, Lieutenant, that's right. It's beyond my expectation, but it makes sense if you look closely." The head of the Tang family nodded with a smile. Although Lieutenant is a false position, the level is there, and it still plays a great role!
"With such a wonderful son-in-law, what more could I ask for!"

The elders of the Tang family also sighed.

The servants who were watching inside and outside the flower hall were in an uproar. The first-class Taiwei, such a young Taiwei, was about to become the uncle of the Tang family, and their faces were also bright.

Tang Shujing continued with a smile: "It's not over yet. Later, His Majesty authorized my brother-in-law to open a 'Taiwei's Mansion', recruit government officials, and give my brother-in-law the real power of a Taiwei!"

"What did you say?!"

The head of the Tang family was sitting peacefully on his chair. After hearing these words, his body shook violently and he sat down on the ground. The shock on his face could not be described in words.

"Your Majesty has given the Taiwei real power?!" The clan elders were also shocked. They stood up one after another and looked at Tang Shujing with serious expressions.

what does this mean?
For old guys like them, this is nothing short of earth-shattering!
That was a first-class powerful Taiwei, two ranks higher than the prime ministers of the dynasty. The court was about to change!

Tang Shujing's face straightened and she said seriously:

"That's right, but later the prince and others objected... Young Sikou Jinyan... In the end, His Majesty made the decision. The details still need to be discussed, but in general it has been determined and there will be no change."

"I see……"

The head of the Tang family was helped up and sat down on the chair again. He said with surprise:
"This is better. It avoids a lot of trivial matters, and it can also be independent from the three provinces and six ministries and reach the heaven directly. How wonderful!"

"..."

At this time, the servants inside and outside the flower hall were already having a heated discussion, whispering to each other, thinking that the Tang family's revival was possible.

When Minglan saw this, she suddenly understood. She pinched herself, then jumped up and waved, and shouted loudly: "Second Miss, Second Miss..."

Tang Shujing, who was full of ambition, heard the cry, turned around and said happily: "I forgot about you, Xiao Minglan, come here quickly."

Minglan was overjoyed and thought that the second young lady and the young lady were indeed sisters. As soon as she heard her cry, she called her over.

At this time, the people blocking the front automatically gave way, and Minglan trotted into the flower hall. After approaching Tang Shujing, Minglan hurriedly said:

"Second miss..."

But before she could finish speaking, Tang Shujing stopped her, then took two steps back and made some strange movements in front of Minglan, as if... showing off the beautiful clothes she was wearing?
Minglan was stunned, not understanding what the second young lady meant, but she did not forget the young lady's instructions and immediately said: "Second young lady, please come over."

"oops!"

Tang Shujing, who was showing off her python robe, slapped her forehead suddenly and said, "I forgot about my sister. Damn it, damn it, hurry up, let's go!"

"okay!"

Minglan was very happy after completing the task, and led the second lady to Tang Shuwan's courtyard...

On the way, Tang Shujing kept urging "Hurry up", "Hurry up", "Don't keep my sister waiting", which moved Minglan very much. After all, they are biological sisters.

If she were an ordinary person, the second young lady would not be so anxious.

……

It was past half the night.

In Tang Shuwan's small courtyard, there was silence and bright lights. Moths flew around the lanterns, making a subtle rustling sound when their wings collided with the lanterns.

Minglan had been away for so long and still hadn't come back. Tang Shuwan was anxious and couldn't help but slowly got up and walked to the window of the living room to look out.

Looking from here, you can have a clear view of the courtyard gate.

After a while, finally, the sound of messy footsteps came from outside the courtyard, and Minglan sighed: "It's finally here..."

Tang Shuwan's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately turned sideways and hid behind the window. She didn't want to be discovered by Minglan and Tang Shujing, so she stood here waiting impatiently.

Squeak!

The courtyard door was pushed open, and Minglan and Tang Shujing entered one after another. Minglan closed the courtyard door smoothly, and then led Tang Shujing straight to the living room.

Tang Shuwan, who was hiding behind the window, turned around and prepared to return to the chair and sit down.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Tang Shujing outside the living room suddenly stopped and stopped in the courtyard. She was adjusting the python robe on her body as if there was no one else around, tugging here and there, wiping it there, with an extremely careful look.

Minglan also stopped and looked back at the second young lady's strange movements. Her big eyes were filled with confusion, and she scratched her head and asked:

"Second Miss, what are you doing? Aren't you eager to see Miss? Miss is inside."

"No hurry, no hurry." Tang Shujing concentrated on arranging her clothes and said:

"You know, this is the python robe given by His Majesty. I wrinkled it when I was running. It must be smoothed, otherwise my sister can't see the pattern on it clearly."

"what?"

A bunch of question marks appeared on Ming Lan's forehead.

In the living room, Tang Shuwan, who was behind the window, stopped when she heard this and looked at her sister in the courtyard with a strange expression.

"The head of the family, the elders, brothers and sisters, as well as the servants and servants in the house have all seen my python robe, but you and your sister have not seen it properly..."

"..."

Tang Shujing looked extremely serious, stroking the golden dragon embroidery on the python robe, grinning happily, and finally said: "In order for my sister to see clearly, this dress must be neat!"

Minglan slowly opened her mouth wide, her eyes widened, and she looked at Tang Shujing with a shocked look on her face, and said in surprise: "So the second young lady is anxious to see the young lady because... to show off this python robe?"

"I originally thought that the second young lady and the young lady have a deep love for each other. As soon as I heard that the young lady wanted to see you, I immediately abandoned everyone and ran over..."

"..."

"Damn girl, what are you talking about? Watch out, I'll tear your mouth apart!"

Tang Shujing seemed to have been stabbed in her weak point. She immediately stopped admiring the golden dragon embroidery on her python robe. She pinched Minglan's left and right cheeks with both hands and gently pulled them out.

"Um...Second Miss, spare your life, I know my fault..." Minglan spoke slurredly, like a frightened quail, she looked cute and cute, making it impossible to continue to inflict "torture" on her.

"Let's go in, don't keep sister waiting." Tang Shujing pinched Minglan's fleshy face again, then let go and walked towards the living room.

At this time, Tang Shuwan in the living room had returned to the chair and sat down.

When she saw the two of them entering the room, she first praised Tang Shujing's python robe with a smile, which made Tang Shujing smile. Then she hesitated and wanted to ask Tang Shujing to tell Su Xian's story, but she found it difficult to say it.

When Minglan saw this, she spoke on her behalf.

Tang Shujing hurriedly cleared her throat, straightened her sitting posture, and said seriously: "This matter must start from Youzhou more than a month ago. That day..."

"..."

The candlelight in the living room flickered.

The silhouettes of three women were reflected.

It wasn't until almost dawn in the second half of the night that the candles were extinguished, and Tang Shujing's story was finally told.

……

……

the same night.

Su House.

It is said that in the Su Mansion, there was an old servant named "Luo An". Luo An was once highly trusted and reused by the previous head of the Su family, and he was once a prominent figure in the Su Mansion.

However, with the replacement of the head of the Su family and Luo An's old age, he has long lost his former glory.

Although he still holds the title of "Butler", his treatment is no different from that of an ordinary boy. For example, the dinner delivered today is still on the table. It is really hard for him to eat such a meager meal.

It was late at night, and Luo An was not sleepy. He looked at the cold and meager food on the table, and couldn't help but recall the glorious days in the past, when he and the head of the Su family had worked together to accomplish many major things.

Taking out any one of those major events is enough to shock the current Patriarch of the Su family.

For example, one of them involves... the former prince!
Suddenly, Luo An stood up, held the oil lamp on the table, walked to the bed, then lay on the ground, slowly crawled under the bed, tinkered for a while, and took out a painted wooden box from the floor under the bed.

The lacquered wooden box had been covered in dust for a long time and the surface was not very clean. Luo An took a rag and wiped it carefully, then placed the wooden box on the bed and carefully opened the lid.

"If this box of contents is leaked, it will definitely cause an uproar! Under the rolling torrent, this huge Su family may be destroyed in an instant!"

"..."

Luo An looked serious, murmured in a low voice, and slowly took out a scroll.

He slowly spread the scroll out on the bed.

It turns out that this is a portrait of a person. The young man in the painting is tall and tall, with a face like a crown jewel, elegant demeanor, extraordinary temperament, handsome and handsome, and his handsome temperament seems to overflow from the painting.

Luo An stared at this painting for a long time, seeming to be trapped in long-lasting memories, and murmured to himself:
"No matter how magnificent you are, no matter how talented you are, no matter how noble you are, with the fall of the previous dynasty, you will inevitably turn into a handful of loess!"

"Thinking back to those days, although the old slave and the family master went through many twists and turns, they couldn't leave a trace of blood for you. The family master once deeply blamed himself..."

"But that's fine, so what if your bloodline can stay? You can't just watch the Liang Dynasty flourish and live in an unrealistic dream of restoring the country all your life."

"How is that kind of life any different from my current situation? Eh..."

"..."

After sighing for a while, Luo An rolled up the painting and prepared to put the box of things back in its place.

If it hadn't been for the instructions of the old family master, he would have destroyed this box long ago. After all, this box of things was too sensitive, and once it was leaked out, it would really be a storm!
Unexpectedly, just as he was halfway rolling up the portrait, his door was suddenly pushed open and someone broke in!
Boom!

A flash of lightning flashed across Luo An's head, his heart beat suddenly, and his subconscious reaction was, it's over, this box of things that cannot see the light of day... has been leaked!

Not to mention that the Su family was destroyed in an instant, the number of people implicated in Shendu City alone would probably not be less than three to five thousand!

"Deacon Luo, the head of the family has held a family meeting and ordered all deacons to attend..." A voice sounded at the door, and Luo An recognized it as a familiar junior.

After all, Luo An was an old man who had lived a long time. He immediately judged that the intruder did not find the wooden box and portrait on his bed!

This box of deadly stuff hasn't been leaked yet!
Luo An breathed a sigh of relief, calmly pulled the quilt to completely cover the portrait and the wooden box, then turned around and stared at the junior, scolding:

"You barged in in the middle of the night without knocking. Have you forgotten all the rules you learned?"

The junior was curious about Luo An's action of pulling up the quilt, but after being scolded, he immediately forgot about it and hurriedly smiled and said:

"Deacon Luo, please calm down. Firstly, the master of the house gave the order in a hurry. Secondly, Deacon Luo didn't lock the door, so... I broke in rudely."

"That's all. Since the head of the family has summoned us, we can't delay. Let's go."

Luo An didn't want to be verbose. After going out, he locked the door with his own hands and put the copper key close to his body.

"What is the purpose of the family master summoning all the deacons in the house late at night?" Luo An asked the junior on the way there.

"I'm not sure. It's said that all the elders of the clan, as well as all direct descendants and side branches have arrived, and there's a lot of commotion."

"..."

After Luo An rushed to the family gathering place, he realized that the head of the family was planning to personally host a "meeting to expel the Su Xian family from membership"!
It turned out that the news that Su Xian had been awarded the rank of Taiwei and given real power had spread throughout the night among the nobles, yamen and families in the city.

The head of the Su family was in a very complicated mood. In order to show his disdain for Su Xianrong's promotion, he made a temporary decision to expel Su Xian from the clan again!

Let Su Xian be "disgraced"!
Let Su Xian be shameless down below to meet his ancestors from now on!

Let Su Xian be a "lonely ghost" without family support!
Soon, the meeting began.

According to the general procedure, Su Xian, an "unfilial son", needs to be present in person, but now that Su Xian is a first-rank Taiwei, it is naturally impossible for him to come in person.

then what should we do?

The head of the Su family ordered someone to hang up Su Xian's portrait and accept the punishment of expulsion from the clan in his place.

When Su Xian's portrait slowly unfolded and appeared in front of everyone's eyes, a person in the crowd suddenly screamed and then fainted to the ground.

"Deacon Luo!"

The people next to him exclaimed and rushed over to help him.

At this time, they heard Luo An muttering something like "exactly the same" and "he is not of Su family blood"...

But people didn't pay much attention to it and carried Luo An down with all their hands and handed him over to the doctor for diagnosis and treatment.
