Chapter 250 Entering the Palace for New Year's Eve
Chapter 250 Entering the Palace for New Year's Eve
Chunxi went out and asked the little maid to give the prescription to Duhuo, and asked Duhuo to go to Baohetang to pick up Doctor Ke.
We have a New Year’s Eve dinner in the evening.
Something happened at the Su Mansion.
There will be no red Spring Festival couplets posted in Tangyuan this year.
There were a few words written on a piece of white paper taped to the door.
Shang Yan took Shang Qi to Su Mansion and put up white Spring Festival couplets.
The kitchen is very busy.
After Su Rutang was busy with his instructions at Tang Mansion, he brought all kinds of things to Su Mansion.
The Su family now has servants living in the mansion.
The manager was about to cry when he saw Su Rutang.
"Second miss."
"Uncle Su. All of you who are in charge will receive two more red envelopes, and the rest of you will receive one more red envelope each. In addition, I will give each of you who are in charge a red envelope of ten taels of silver, and the rest of you who are working will receive between five and two taels of silver, depending on your position."
"I brought you a red envelope separately."
Su Rutang handed a red envelope to Manager Su.
His eyes were red. “The master is in trouble this year. How can we take the red envelope?”
"The Su Mansion depends on you to guard it. This is what we should do." Su Rutang patted Manager Su's hand.
"I want to offer sacrifice."
"Miss Xia An came over and gave instructions a few days ago. All the items for the sacrifice have been prepared." Steward Su choked with sobs.
Shangqi and Yaoyao followed Su Rutang.
Su Qingwan didn't come here originally.
I heard that Su Rutang is coming.
He just asked someone to send her over.
She supported Qiu Ling and walked over, "Aunt. Wait for me."
"Qingwan, why are you here?"
"Aunt is here, how can Qingwan let her be busy alone?" Su Qingwan stepped forward and greeted Manager Su.
Manager Su looked at Su Qingwan.
Just know what happened.
"Hey, Miss Qingwan. The Jian family came several times to ask where you were going. They said that our Su family's girl tricked Master Jian into abandoning his family and career and left."
Thinking of what the Jane family said.
Manager Su was so angry that his forehead hurt.
Because of these things, the servants of the Su family and the servants of the Jian family have cursed each other across the street several times.
There is no winner yet.
Su Qingwan's face was cold.
"Why don't they go find Jian Shuchi?"
How would Manager Su know?
Su Rutang and Su Qingwan walked in front, while Shangqi and Yaoyao walked behind and whispered, "Brother, are you from Jian Yutang's family? He studied in the same academy as you, right?"
Shangqi nodded.
"Yes."
"Humph. I just said I don't like him. We should teach him a lesson."
Shangqi didn't understand why Jian Yutang should be taught a lesson.
Yaoyao's chubby mouth moved, "Jian Yutang's family said that Jian Yutang skipped classes to play because I told him not to study."
"That's how they bullied Sister Qingwan."
Shangqi slapped his forehead.
So that's what it is.
"Humph. It's a pity that I have to stay at home with Master today, otherwise I would go to the palace and teach him a lesson."
"Is he going into the palace today too?" Yaoyao tilted her head.
"Yes. Their family holds a high position."
"Bigger than Daddy?"
"Probably." Shangqi comforted Yaoyao, "But our father's official position is not that high, but he is very fierce."
"I'm not afraid of his family's high official position. Then I will go to the palace tonight." Yaoyao showed a cunning look, "Brother, just wait for my good news."
Shangqi: “…”
"Oh my god. Don't..."
"Oh..." Yaoyao said insincerely.
The short legs ran happily, "Brother, come and chase me."
When preparing for the sacrifice.
Shang Yan is here too.
The son-in-law of the Su family is also considered a member of the Su family.
Worship the ancestors.
Pay tribute to the soldiers who died on the battlefield in Mobei.
Do it all.
Su Rutang called all the servants over and said a few words to them. He also rewarded them with a few meat dishes in front of everyone.
I gave red envelopes separately to the children of the servants in the mansion.
There is a silver coin in each red envelope.
Coming out of the Su Mansion.
A maid from the Jian residence stopped the carriage and said, "Madam Shang, I saw Miss Qingwan from the Su residence. May I ask where our young master is?"
Su Rutang lifted the curtain.
"Where is your young master? You should ask him. Everyone knows that when my Qingwan left the capital, your young master was living a life of luxury in the capital.
Why didn't he report to the police when he was missing, but instead came to our Su family's door to ask about an unmarried girl?
The Jian family bullies people like this? Do you really think my Su family is easy to bully?"
The servant woman was stunned.
But he still said with a smile:
"We would never dare to bully the Su family. But we know that Miss Qingwan wants to marry our young master, and she may have some connections after leaving the capital."
Su Rutang glanced over.
Xia An got off the carriage.
He slapped the maid a few more times.
"Where did you hear that our Miss Qingwan wants to marry your young master? Find that man and confront him, or I'll cut off your tongue."
The maid was beaten so hard that she felt dizzy and dazed.
"Everyone knows this. Do you really think your Su Mansion has a good reputation?"
"All the married girls were divorced. A general even killed his wife. He is so cruel and ruthless that he is not a human being." The maid was instigated by the people of the Jian family. She did not dare to complain aloud in private.
But he was slapped a few times by Xia An.
She was angry.
For a moment, all the private complaints about the Jian family were spoken out.
Shang Yan came out of Su Mansion.
Sharp voice:
"Live alone."
Duhuo got off the carriage and slashed with his knife.
He cut off the maid's tongue, and the servants of the Jane family not far away screamed in fear.
Someone nearby looked over.
Shang Qi looked around coldly, "How dare such a lowly thing talk about the Su family? Send her to the Jian residence and say that I, Shang Yan, lied. If the Jian residence doesn't know how to discipline its servants, why don't I, the Jinyiwei, do it for them?"
The people living next door are all officials and their families.
The servants didn't dare to say much.
He looked in surprise as the person following Shang Yan carried the maid to Jian's house.
Shang Yan looked at Du Huo coldly.
"Go back and receive your punishment."
"Yes."
"If there is a next time, I will protect the master first. You can leave now."
Sweat broke out on Duhuo's back.
"Ma'am, I'm sorry."
Su Rutang didn't say anything.
Xia An got in the car.
Duhuo drove back to Tangyuan.
Master Liangran has already prepared the things for Shangqi's treatment.
Su Rutang and Shang Yan must enter the palace.
Today, the emperor invited officials of the third rank and above to bring their families to the palace to celebrate New Year's Eve together. The emperor likes to have fun, and in the past, the royal family had to do it alone.
Now the emperor and his subjects celebrate the festival together.
Yaoyao said she also wanted to enter the palace.
Su Rutang looked at her strangely, "Didn't you say you wanted to accompany your brother?"
"I will accompany my brother when I come back. I will go to the palace with my parents first. I am curious about what fun things there are in the palace." Yaoyao had indeed never been to the palace.
Su Rutang didn't feel anything was wrong either.
I asked Chunxi to carry Yaoyao and dress her up.
Su Rutang was wearing a light purple outfit and had few accessories on her head.
The main focus is simplicity and elegance.
Yaoyao is wearing a pink coat and skirt.
There are two buns on the head, with pink peach blossom velvet flowers tied on them.
The pink ribbon floated down, revealing a pair of lively black grape eyes. They were particularly lively, just like an elf that had landed on earth.
Shang Yan was still in his official uniform.
The carriage going into the palace had a new driver, who said that it was Duhuo who went to receive the beating.
Entered the palace.
The eunuch led them into the palace next to the imperial garden, where men and women sat separately.
There is a pot of camellia in the middle.
Acts as a screen.
The palace maid led Su Rutang and Yaoyao to their seats.
I've been to the palace before.
At that time, Su Rutang was accompanied by Lan Xuanji, Shen Yunying, and many other people who came to greet him.
Long Yu was the first one to come over and say hello.
"Sister Rutang."
Someone nearby pulled Long Yu, "Oh my god. Long Yu, why are you greeting such an unlucky person? You even called her sister. She should have kowtowed to you."
Long Yu imitated the woman in purple clothes and made an exaggerated gesture.
"Oh my god. Princess Yuenian, the one the emperor invited. How dare you say she's unlucky? Are you saying the emperor invited the wrong person?"
Princess Yuenian waved her hands hurriedly.
"I didn't mean that."
"You didn't? I think you are just dissatisfied with the emperor, otherwise how could you do something that goes against the emperor's wishes?" Long Yu spread his hands, "I'd like to ask the emperor's companions."
Yue Nian was very angry.
"Don't tell him." Who knew that the emperor has been moody lately? If you offend him, you will be in big trouble.
"Then you apologize to Sister Rutang." Long Yu still refused to give in.
"You... want me to apologize to a woman who is a eunuch?"
"You're mocking Commander Shang for being disabled?" Long Yu was so scared that he covered his mouth. "You're dead. The last person who said something rude now has no tongue."
Princess Yuenian turned pale with fear.
"I do not have."
