Resourceful beauty

Chapter 45
"So, Ding Xiang went to the governor's house in Fuyang, then went back to her mother's house, and came back after staying at her mother's house for a few days?"

Looking at the thin man in front of her, Su Yuan asked in a deep voice.

"Returning to the princess, it is true. The little one was worried that there would be fraud, so she deliberately stayed a little longer. After Miss Dingxiang left Jiangbei, there was nothing unusual in her family."

The man replied respectfully.

After waving her hand to signal the man to back down, Su Yuan turned her head to look at Mother Zhao and said, "You said, sending a girl home because it's not a New Year's Day or a holiday, could it be that it's just to visit relatives? Here, There must be something strange."

"Perhaps, it has something to do with that Miss Chen from the governor's house in Fuyang..."

Zhao mama guessed and said.

"Chen Mei?"

Su Yuan thought of the girl who was about the same age as Fang Ruxuan.

Zhao Nanny nodded, "I have inquired about it. During those days when Miss Six was in Jiangbei Water Prison and Funan City Prison, Miss Chen often inquired about Miss Six's affairs, and asked Mrs. Chen to come forward and go to the prison. At that time, Ms. Chen didn't shy away from it at all, which shows that the two of them are sincere. If Miss Six really has any troubles, Miss Chen can only be entrusted to Jiangbei."

Zhao Nanny's analysis made sense. Su Yuan listened quietly. After a while, she turned around and asked Zhao Nanny, "Didn't you send another person to inquire about what happened in the prison in Funan City, and they haven't come back yet?"

Glancing at Su Yuan with some apprehension, Mother Zhao said in a low voice, "I came back after going there for a few days and said nothing happened, but on the day Miss Six left the prison in Funan City, she died in the prison." Two people."

"Two people died? Who?"

Su Yuan asked nervously.

"One is the nephew of Mr. Hu, the governor of Funan, and the head of the prison, and the other is the servant who often follows the head of the prison."

Talking in a low voice, Mother Zhao sighed, "I can't find out anything else."

Su Yuan intuitively believed that these two people must have something to do with Fang Ruxuan's dramatic change in temperament.

"What happened?"

Talking to herself, Su Yuan made up her mind and ordered Nanny Zhao, "Go, get 1000 taels of silver, hand it over to that person and go on another trip, and find a way to catch up with the people in the prison in Funan City." , or those who are close to Mr. Hu, must ask what happened to Fang Ruxuan during those days in the prison."

Nanny Zhao nodded yes, went into the house to get the bank note, and went down to arrange it.

On April [-]th, King Qi returned to the mansion.

After lunch, Concubine Shen was asked to leave with all the girls, and King Qi left Su Yuan and Concubine Wu alone.

"A few days ago, I went to Songshan for military training. I met my old friend, General Han, and chatted about family affairs. Then I mentioned my sons and daughters. General Han's eldest son is now 21. He is not married yet. He looks talented. I think that young man is a good guy. Yes, so, I intend to be in-laws with General Han. Now the only ones in the mansion are Ruyu and Ruhua, you should add up and see how this marriage will go."

King Qi said in a deep voice.

Qi Wang Wentao and martial arts are all outstanding, and he has heard all kinds of heroic biographies since he was a child. It can be said that he has some heroic complexes. In his opinion, all good men should go to the battlefield to defend their families and the country. Therefore, he did not look down on those literati, but compared with the generals in the army, he was a little inclined.

Seeing General Han's son who was already a lieutenant again, he liked it more and more.

Su Yuan was not happy when she heard this: How could her daughter be a good match for such a martial artist?

Silently, Su Yuan didn't answer.

On the side, Concubine Wu asked softly: "My lord, where is that General Han leading the troops now? What's the situation at home?"

"He was a general under Ning Shanbo back then. When Ning Shanbo returned to Beijing, he led General Zhenxi. He has been guarding the border for so many years. This training will take half a year. After that, he will hand over military affairs and return to Beijing. Come to take care of yourself."

As he spoke slowly, King Qi's eyes slid across Su Yuan's face, and landed on Concubine Wu's face, and he said to her seriously: "I think it's good to have a matching family background, and the important thing is to have a good person, after all, life , It's their young couple's business."

These words were said by Concubine Wu to King Qi in private when King Qi returned to the mansion last time.

Fang Ruhua was already married, so the marriage could not be delayed any longer. Concubine Wu was not as ambitious as Su Yuan, she only wanted her daughter to be happy.Therefore, at the moment when King Qi mentioned that candidate, Concubine Wu was not as picky and dissatisfied as Su Yuan, but began to think seriously.

"What does the princess think?"

Concubine Wu thought carefully for a while, then raised her eyes and asked Su Yuan.

"I don't want Yu'er to marry a military general, shouting and shouting all day long, what's the point?"

Su Yuan muttered in a low voice.

Concubine Wu looked at King Qi with a smile, "My lord, allow me to think about it, I will give you an answer tomorrow morning, okay?"

After all, it is a matter of children's marriage, which is related to the happiness of the child's life, King Qi naturally nodded, and Concubine Wu stood up and left contentedly.

As soon as she reached the gate of Yixin Hall, Concubine Wu was summoned by King Qi.

"General Han's contribution to guarding the border for so many years is indispensable. This time when the squadron returns to the court, the emperor will be awarded a title. Then Han Song is the eldest son, and he will definitely inherit the title in the future."

King Qi said softly.

In a word, Concubine Wu beamed with joy, while Su Yuan, who was at the side, looked astonished.

Concubine Wu nodded happily, and hurried towards Fang Ruhua's yard. Behind her, Su Yuan said in a resentful voice: "My lord, Ruhua is your daughter, isn't Ruyu? Hua, Yu'er who is a concubine has no clue yet."

King Qi got up and looked at Su Yuan coldly, "Praise? I discussed this matter with you, and you disagreed? Why, when you hear that someone has a title, you think it's okay to be a martial artist? You I can afford to lose this person, but this king can't afford to lose him."

After finishing speaking, King Qi stepped out of Yixin Hall.

This night, some people are happy and some are worried.

Although Fang Ruhua is a concubine, her heart is higher than the sky. In this marriage, the other party is the eldest son of the eldest son, and there will be a hereditary title in the future. Although I haven't seen what the other party looks like, but in terms of this condition alone, there is no need. Got to pick.

When Concubine Wu mentioned it, Fang Ruhua nodded shyly, agreeing.

Su Yuan didn't fall asleep all night, seeing that a concubine like Fang Ruhua was married to a noble family, and her Yu'er was still a concubine. How could her marriage be worse than that of a concubine?
After sifting through the big families in Beijing, Su Yuan got more and more headaches, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.

Early in the morning of the second day, during breakfast time, Concubine Wu stood behind King Qi, laying out dishes courteously.

After serving him to rinse his mouth after the meal, Concubine Wu said softly: "My lord, you think it's good after seeing each other, then this marriage can be done, and everything depends on the lord."

King Qi said happily: "Okay, then I will talk to Lao Han when we get to Songshan."

Until King Qi left the mansion, Su Yuan still hadn't recovered.

She thought King Qi was just hanging out with her, but King Qi really left without even looking at her.

Going back to the Yixin Hall and sitting down, looking at Fang Ruyu's resentful face, and Fang Ruhui's hesitation to speak, Su Yuan persuaded with a smile on her face: "Yu'er, you are the eldest daughter of Prince Qi's mansion, your marriage must be The best among all the young ladies, she would rather be short than excessive, you know?"

After coaxing away the two daughters, Su Yuan sighed, lying on her side on the gold silk pillow, and rubbed the space between her eyebrows.

Near noon, Qiu Tong came all the way in and handed over the post in his hand, "Princess, the post from Master Furong Weng's Mansion, please come over and talk to me."

Lord Fu Rong's father, King Jing Ping, is the only king with a different surname in Da Yuan.

King Jingping was originally the lord of a small country around Dayuan. Later, when Dayuan called for security, King Jingping returned to Dayuan and brought his wife and daughter back to the capital of Dayuan. Emperor Shengkang named him King Jingping.

There are many princes and daughters in Jingping, and they all went to other places when they became adults. Only the eldest daughter was the most favored. After Jiji, she was named the Lord of Furong, and she married the champion of the year. Both the queen mother and the empress liked her temperament very much, and they would reward her with things from time to time. From this, it can be seen that Lord Furong really respects and favors her infinitely in the capital.

When she was young, Su Yuan had met Master Furong a few times, and she only remembered that she was a frank and cheerful girl, not at all shy like the ladies in the capital.

Now back in Beijing, Su Yuan has seen her a few times in the palace, but every time she sits next to the queen mother or the queen, her public laughter flutters along the door of the palace, making herself envious, It's rare for the two of them to talk together. Su Yuan felt a little strange when she heard that she handed her a post to herself.

Suspicious in her heart, Su Yuan didn't bother to think too much, she got up after taking a nap, dressed up, and went straight to Lord Fu Rong's mansion.

Fullon Weng's Mansion is located in the Yulan Hutong in the south of the capital. When the carriage enters the alley, it feels as if the hustle and bustle outside has been stopped at once, which makes people feel peaceful.

After getting off the carriage, all the way to the courtyard where Master Fullon lived, he heard wanton laughter in the room, which made people feel very comfortable.

Hearing that Su Yuan was coming, Master Furong came out with a smile.

"Rare guest, rare guest, if I don't post, Princess Qi intends to be a stranger to me?"

It seems that the two are very familiar with each other, Master Furong said jokingly.

Su Yuan repeatedly said "Don't dare", and followed Master Furong into the house.

Apart from a few maids and women in the room, there was also a handsome young man with red lips, teeth and white eyebrows, his face was full of smiles at the moment, it could be seen that he was still immersed in the laughter just now.

"This is my son, Liu Yu."

Lord Fu Rong pointed to the young man and introduced it to Su Yuan, while at the same time, he said to his son: "This is Princess Qi, come and meet me..."

As early as when Su Yuan entered the room, Liu Yu got up, and when Su Yuan sat down, Liu Yu bowed respectfully: "Liu Yu has met Princess Qi, I wish Princess Qi all the best."

Looking at the tall, gentle and handsome Liu Yu in front of her, Su Yuan's heart was full of joy: "It's really hard to find anywhere, it's easy to get here."
