Hongdou quickly shook his head: "If you don't mind, you will be slapped. As maids, it is common for us to be beaten!"
Listening to Hongdou's words, Chengchun felt his heart aches: "You didn't do anything wrong. The beating was only because of me. I didn't take good care of you. It's my fault!"
Hongdou quickly shook his head and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? It is my greatest blessing to be able to serve such a gentle person like you!"
"Gentle?" Chengchun laughed, "I'm not a very gentle person!"
Hongdou didn't know why, but she still glanced at the door: "Madam, are you really not going to see the Fifth Master? There's no point in getting angry with the Fifth Master over a trivial matter!"
"I have never lost my temper with her. I am just a concubine. How can I have the right to lose my temper with my master?" Cheng Chun lowered his head and put away the medicine.
"If you don't give that cousin face like this, I'm afraid that she will come to trouble you later!" Hongdou thought of Lin Guan'er and couldn't help but frown, "What if she really becomes our fifth master's wife?
Life is also very difficult!”
"She will not become the fifth master's first wife!" Cheng Chun said calmly while cleaning up, "How can a person who has broken off several engagements be able to marry into the Hou Mansion so easily?"
"But Madam likes her very much!" Hongdou sighed, "Madam is very kind to my cousin!"
"Being nice to her is probably because she is her niece, but no matter how nice you are, you can't compare to your own son! The fifth master is Tan Hua Lang and the legitimate son of the Hou family. He has a good relationship with the prince and has a bright future.
Taking a concubine before you are married is already criticized, so how can you let such a person who has canceled marriage several times marry the fifth master? That will only make her reputation worse!" Chengchun raised his eyes and looked at Hongdou, "
Whoever it is, it won’t be her!”
Hongdou suddenly realized: "Then why did the Crown Prince's wife say this again?"
"You have to ask the Fifth Master!" Cheng Chun smiled, "We don't have to worry about these things, we just need to do what we should do! Only soldiers and generals like us who don't know anything can live long.
Woolen cloth!"
Anko nodded.
Su Xubai stood in the yard. The sound in the room was not loud. However, his hearing was different from ordinary people. Although Cheng Chun's words were not loud, he happened to hear them clearly.
Suddenly, a pair of hands wrapped around Su Xubai's neck: "You are such a transparent girl!"
Su Xubai looked at Xu Ziqing beside him, his eyes full of dissatisfaction: "This is my yard, how did you get in?"
"Of course it was someone from your house who let me in!" Xu Ziqing raised his eyebrows, "Why, your yard is so valuable now that I can't even come in?"
Su Xubai ignored him and left.
Xu Ziqing followed reluctantly: "How many days have you been back to Beijing and you still haven't come to see me? What's the matter? You go out and you don't even want to see your classmates and friends?"
"What are you looking for?" Su Xubai said angrily, "My eldest brother invites you to tea every day but you don't come, but you come to my house to find me. Are you unintentionally trying to sow discord between me and my eldest brother?
?”
"When I found your eldest brother, he was talking about things in the court. I didn't want to hear it. He is mediocre and can't say anything good, but he likes to talk about those things. I don't like it!" mentioned Su Xubai's eldest brother.
, Xu Ziqing only felt a headache, "I am a compatriot, why is your eldest brother so mediocre?"
Su Xubai said nothing.
Su Xubai's eldest brother has been the heir apparent since he was born. However, at that time, Wuchang Marquis was busy with affairs and did not have much time to educate his son. Mrs. Su was raising him, and he was not a naturally smart boy.
, and asked Mrs. Su to raise her carefully. When she was older, the Marquis of Wuchang took over, and this child had been brought up to be incompetent in literature and martial arts.
It was precisely because of this that the Marquis of Wuchang was quite dissatisfied with Mrs. Su, and when he was educating Su Xubai, he refused to let Mrs. Su get involved.
"Don't say these words. It will be unpleasant if they reach my elder brother's ears!" Su Xubai walked towards the study, unwilling to listen to what Xu Ziqing said.
Xu Ziqing has always had a bad temper: "Why, I don't like listening to your elder brother's nonsense. Will he turn around and give you some shoes to wear?"
"You are all future marquises, and he should talk to you more!" Su Xubai frowned, "If you feel that what he said is wrong, point it out, he is not the kind of person who cannot listen to others' advice.
people!"
"He has nothing to do with me. What should I do to persuade him?" Xu Ziqing raised his eyebrows and walked into Su Xubai's study to sit down. "If you are interested in the position of the prince, he has nothing to do with you at all!"
Su Xubai glanced at Xu Ziqing: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a mute!"
Xu Ziqing smiled: "You are just afraid that others will always say this in front of your elder brother, so you went to those rural places and married such a concubine!"
Su Xubai fell silent.
Xu Ziqing understood that he had hit on Su Xubai's thoughts, and shook his head: "Who is strong or weak can be seen by anyone with a discerning eye. His Majesty is not a fool. When he was crowned prince, Your Majesty called your father into the palace for a long time.
When your father comes out, even though he gave the title of Crown Prince to your eldest brother, he will immediately let you enter the palace to accompany the Crown Prince. Everyone knows what His Majesty means!"
Su Xubai was really annoyed with Xu Ziqing's mouth. He was so annoyed: "Can't you just shut your mouth?"
"I don't!" Xu Ziqing smiled, "By the way, a few days later, I heard that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Palace was going to hold a lotus appreciation banquet and invited all the dignitaries in the capital. "Are you going or not?"
"No!" Su Xubai refused without thinking.
Xu Ziqing smiled helplessly and said: "Why, you have to keep yourself safe for your concubine? My sister told me that the daughter has been crying for several days because of you taking a concubine in the countryside. You really don't care at all.
Not tempted?"
"Xu Ziqing, have you finished your military training? Or have you finished reading your book?" Su Xubai really couldn't read the book in his hand, "Why are you like the woman on the street corner outside, always talking about things about your daughter's family?
"
"Hey, you treat your good intentions like a donkey's liver and lungs!" Xu Ziqing pouted, "I'm just here to remind you, don't be fooled by others and not even know it!"
"If you have this skill, don't you worry about yourself?" Su Xubai sighed, "I remember, you haven't gotten married yet, and there are probably a lot of people who are thinking about your position as a head wife!"
"It doesn't matter. I also want to get married. My wife and children are on the hot bed. How happy it is!" Xu Ziqing looked at Su Xubai with hope on his face.
