Chapter 23. Who taught you that?

Something big happened in early October.

The son of the Pingnan family, Mr. Su Mingfeng, was suddenly taken seriously ill and had to stay at home to recuperate. Pingnan Bo’s heart aches for his son, and together with his wife, he is at home to take care of Young Master Su. The matter of the military stable is temporarily put aside, and his majesty rewards him with something to show his condolences, and lets the new receiver take over the matter.

The people in the city of Dingjing have to feel this sigh of relief, that Su young master young talent, into the career soon to make great achievements, it is precisely to step up, the future can not be limited when, but suddenly this serious illness. It is really the sky jealous of talent, if it is delayed for three or five years, I am afraid to turn back again, the dynasty will also have no place to stand.

The people look at it this way, but the colleagues in the courtroom are not sure. There are smart people will say: “This which is sick it, this is clearly to avoid disaster ah. Originally thought that the Su family is like a fire cooking oil, looking at the fire will be burned, do not want to see the situation now, to a bottom of the payroll.”

When these things reached Shen Miao’s ears, she was standing in the courtyard pruning the branches of begonias. In the past few days at Guangwen Hall, because of the matter of young master Su, everyone has a new topic of conversation, but did not pay much attention to her. It was also rare for her to have a few days of leisure.

“The girl nowadays to like these flowers and grasses.” Gu Yu smiled and said, “These begonias grow really well.”

Begonia crimson petals in the killing of the autumn showed a few points of dynamic color, when she was the queen of the time, learning to manipulate the harem life, help Fu Xiuyi pulling together powerful ministers, go to Qin willing to be a hostage, and lintel lady fighting wisdom and courage, most of the time, are living in the power of the palace and the fight, and where there is a mood such as the general so now, such as to cut the flowers to disperse the mind?

“Do you know why the begonias bloom so brightly?” She asked.

Although Gu Yu did not understand why her own girl asked this question, but still smiled and replied, “This is the steward’s seeds from outside, I heard that it is a very golden seed, the lady also boasted that it is this kind of begonias in the fall to see especially good.”

Shen Miao gently shook her head.

Where is that the reason?

Just as the palace that kind of eerie bitter cold place, even outside the cold palace is full of flowers, but because of those flowers under the branch, are tired of white bones. The world’s most colorful things, have the coldest cause.

The So’s have learned this, what will they do?

She smiled slightly.

……

Pingnanbo’s residence.

Young Master Su’s courtyard was tightly guarded, except for personal servants and relatives, no one can enter. You can only smell the heavy smell of medicine inside, Master Su closed the door, do not see outsiders.

As a close friend of Su Shizi’s, Little Waiter Xie was naturally going to make a visit to the door.

The Xie family’s carriage was parked outside the Su Mansion, and the boy was struggling to carry the herbs down from the top. Those medicinal herbs were all packed in boxes, enough to see how attentive young master Xie was to his best friend.

Inside the study, Su Mingfeng was dressed in green cloth, except for a somewhat thin figure, but his expression was as spirited as ever, where were the traces of being seriously ill?

Across from him, the brocade-clad boy frowned tightly and raised his voice to ask, “Avoiding trouble?”

“Not bad.” Su Mingfeng looked at his friend and sighed, “Now you also see that the Su family’s momentum is getting better and better, the Su family has already stretched for several generations, and in terms of this matter of military horses, it really shouldn’t be promoted further up. But instead of suppressing it, his majesty is holding the Su family up more and more.”

“You also took credit.” Xie Jingxing reminded.

“Precisely because of the merit, my father and I were quite pleased, but we forgot the hidden crisis behind it. This merit further, is a disaster. What I said you understand, it’s just that originally the Su family was in the middle of it, it was inevitable that they were blinded by a single leaf, and now that it has become clear, they have to hang on to the cliff, it’s really dangerous.”

“This is good.” Xie Jingxing nodded, “It’s just that you’ll have to stay at home for a few years for nothing now.”

“I only wish for the Su family to be safe and sound.” Su Mingfeng said, “Forget about me, how about you? The Su family and the Xie family are all honored and all damaged, the Su family has decided to hang on to the cliff, and you, the Xie family, ……” she didn’t say any more.

Xie Jingxing raised an eyebrow, “If I don’t join the civil service, what can he do about it? There is only one Lin’an candidate in the Xie family, and he has to take into account all the mouths of the world.”

Xie Jingxing was different from Su Mingfeng, Su Yu had sent his son into the civil service early for the sake of the Su family. However, Xie Jingxing did not enter the civil service, and only had an idle position on his body. There are several times when he accompanied Xie Ding to go to war, but he also hung the name of his own son. Even if the Royals wanted to suppress the Xie family again, they wouldn’t go to suppress a family whose son didn’t even take over.

“You are rather so far-sighted.” Su Mingfeng couldn’t help but laugh.

“I’m not trying to defend myself against him either.” Xie Jingxing lazily said.

It’s true that he wasn’t trying to watch out for the royals, but he was just trying to go against his dad.

“But,” he said with a frown, suddenly changing the subject, “how did you suddenly figure out this matter. Originally, I reminded you of it several times, but it didn’t even register.”

Su Mingfeng lowered his head in shame: “Originally, I was fighting for a moment of ambition, and I was just complacent, so where would I have thought about it so much. This time, thanks to my second brother.”

“Your second brother?” Xie Jingxing, who was lazily leaning back in his chair, sat up straight at the words, a hint of color flashing in his eyes, “That glutinous rice ball?”

Su Minglang is a stupid group of things are not a rare thing, how can still give the Su family to remind these things, is not Su Minglang ate the wrong medicine?

Su Mingfeng then told the ins and outs, and only at the end, said, “This time, if it is not the second brother’s mistake, maybe it will lead to a big disaster?”

“By mistake?” Xie Jingxing whispered to himself.

While this was going on, a childish, “Big brother, Mother asked me to bring you some snacks.”

Su Minglang with a dish of flower-like shortcake with short legs came in, he was round and chubby like a dumpling, the corner of his mouth is still stained with a lot of cake crumbs, obviously in the end of the way over has stolen a lot of food.

These days because of his inadvertent reminder, the Su family changed strategy, even the most dissatisfied with his master Su unprecedentedly feel that his son “will be useful,” “smart and agile,” “great wisdom like fools! The most dissatisfied master Su has unprecedentedly thought that his son “will be of great use”, “intelligent and agile”, “great wisdom like stupidity. Mrs. Su is more varied to him to do delicious, but just a few days, Su Minglang has gained a big circle.

He couldn’t help but lower his voice a few degrees when he saw that Xie Jingxing was still there, and for some reason, he was always a little afraid of his brother’s handsome best friend.

Su Minglang put the snacks on the table, threw a “big brother I’m leaving” turned to run, do not want to be a hand grabbed the collar.

Turning back to look, the young man brocade clothing, gentle squatting down to touch his head, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a smile and vivid, but the eyes are cold and indifference.

He asked, “Who taught you to say that?”

Su Minglang’s eyes widened.

“Cunning rabbits die, walking dogs cook.” Xie Jingxing laughed evilly.
