   Chapter 578 One hundred and seventy-seven marriages

   That person just happened to be looking at her, with a faint scrutiny in his eyes. After taking a look, he withdrew his gaze and stood up.

   Mrs. Su hurriedly greeted Su Yao: "Come here, Yaoyao, this is Lord Li Xiao, the golden grandson of Princess Mingchang."

  Su invited Mrs. Su's unusual enthusiasm, but she didn't show anything on her face, and politely said hello to Sir Li Xiao.

  Lord Little Li had a lukewarm attitude, nodded lightly towards Su Yao, then got up politely and said goodbye to Mrs. Su.

Mrs. Su hurriedly asked someone to send him out, and said apologetically: "Uncle has something to go out, and there is no one at home to entertain him. It's really bad hospitality, and I'm sorry. Next time, I'll invite the little lord to the humble house for a glass of water. liquor."

   Lord Li also politely agreed, and looked back at Su Yao before leaving.

As soon as he left, Madam Su leaned on the pillow, rubbed her brows in annoyance, and said to Su Invitation, "You must be very curious, why Princess Mingchang's mansion, which has always been above the top, has followed us several times. How can the family show up? How could Her Royal Highness look down on us in the past? Now it is sending invitations and letting the little lord come to the door in person, but it really gives us enough face."

   Yes, just the title of a county head, I'm afraid there is no such weight for Princess Mingchang to do this.

  Su Yao sat down with the old lady Su and asked, "What is he doing here?"

"It is said that the Ministry of Officials has issued an official document, the former Yunnan General Qin Shuang was killed in battle, and the chieftains of Yunnan's various ministries are now in chaos, and now the Ministry of Officials has sent your brother to the seat of the General of the Troubled General and let him go to Yunnan. , I will leave after the new year." The warm smile on Mrs. Su's face has now disappeared, and what is left is full of solemnity and worry.

The rebellion in Yunnan has not stopped since the time of Taizu. There are always several rebellions every year, big and small. Finally, a few years ago, Xu Yonghong, the Duke of Chengguo, went for a while and suppressed one of the most clamoring chieftains, and then After a few more beautiful victories, it was better. Cheng Guogong had an accident in the capital again and did not go back.

   What was once a good situation turned into a mess.

   Since the beginning of this year, four military generals below the third rank in Yunnan have died, and several prefects have died.

  Under such a situation, the errands in Yunnan are really avoided by everyone.

  Su Rong is going over there, how can Mrs. Su not worry?

But now there is no other way than worrying. Before coming here, Su Rong's errands in Xuanfu have been twists and turns, and finally the death of the Fenyang King is a matter. If there is another moth this time, then Su Rong's title was restored and it was meaningless.

  Secondly, this is a danger, but also an opportunity.

The old lady Su was very rational, and then she sneered: "Little Sir has always had eyes above the top, he can come here and make a special trip to send us this news, you are so smart, why don't you guess? What is he for?"

  Su Yao sat next to the old lady Su and thought: "It was the little Sir who came in person, not the intention of Princess Mingchang's residence."

  The old lady Su nodded with a cold face: "No, Her Royal Highness is really a good idea. Lord Li Xiaojun has two bedrooms. She intends to marry you for Lord Li Xiaojue and be the young mistress of the third bedroom of the Li family."

   sounds like a good thing, but if you think about it carefully, you know that this marriage is by no means a good marriage.

   The husband is a good husband, but he is also the second uncle who is separated from the room. He also has two rooms. He is the young master of the second room, but only the young master of the third room.

  The second room has a title, but the third room has nothing.

  Sanfang Qiu married Su Yao. As the county head, Su Yao can bring a large amount of dowry and raise the lintel of the Li family's third bedroom. No matter what, it is a sure-fire business.

The old lady Su pursed her lips, and the anger on her face did not disappear: "No wonder I have been sending messages to our house these days to invite you to come over, and now I have asked the little lord to sell and reveal your brother's errand. It turned out to be this Ruyi. abacus"

  Su Yao had expected it long ago, but he didn't find it very strange.

   Princess Mingchang has always been an expert at seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. She naturally runs wherever the wind blows.

   It’s just that it’s a bit ugly to be popular now.

   Of course, her old man probably didn't care about this, otherwise, he wouldn't have been angry with the first prince and the Song family because his daughter couldn't marry the prince.

   After getting angry, the old lady Su asked Su Ying's opinion in an angry way: "You don't have to go to the banquet at the princess' mansion. You won't be able to cause trouble again."

  Su Yao did have other things to do, so she was not interested in playing these tricks with Princess Mingchang, so she agreed softly: "Yes, I listen to my grandmother."

  Old Mrs. Su immediately asked the matter department to write a reply and declined the invitation from the Princess Mansion.

   After returning to the room, the sky was already dark, Yancao followed Su Yao step by step, hesitated several times, and when Su Yao turned back, she couldn't help but ask softly, "Miss, why?"

  Why did Princess Mingchang suddenly think of begging to marry her for the little lord?

   It was clear that Princess Mingchang didn't have a good face when she saw Su Yao every time, either she was sarcastic, or she simply didn't have her.

   Now, Su invites Su to be her granddaughter-in-law. Isn't that a big difference?

Su Yao tapped her finger on the table, and after a while, a smile appeared. She was not affected by the incident at all. She raised her eyebrows and sat down. She took a pen and paper and solemnly wrote a letter on the paper. Then he wrote the names of Xu Yonghong, King Fenyang, King Zhuang and the Qin family.

   The entire piece of paper was quickly filled with names, including clans, high officials, civil servants, and military generals.

   They seem to have no connection, but they have something in common.

   They are very targeted at Xiao Heng.

   After watching for a while, she put the piece of paper on the candle and burned it, and asked Yancao to find out when Su Rong would come back.

Fortunately, it didn't take long before Yancao came back and said that Su Rong had come back and was greeting in the old lady Su's yard. He got up and looked at him, and said without changing his face: "Brother, that batch of jewelry has been sold."

  Rao, with Su Rong's usual calmness, couldn't help but be surprised, he closed the door and asked, "Is it really bought by the Xu family?"

Su Ying snorted: "I have seen the money that Grandma Xu paid with my own eyes, and there is nothing wrong. These things are all from Leiyun by Tang Youlong. It is reasonable to say that they are things in Nuku, and others don't know them. I know it."
