Chapter 176 There must be something fishy about this matter.
"I'm back! Did you have fun today?"
As soon as Su Mingjue returned to Su Mansion from outside, she saw Su Yang, who had not been seen for a long time, sitting in the hall, playing with the tea cup and drinking tea.
Hearing this, Su Mingjue felt a little uncomfortable. He had been living in the Su Mansion for a few days. Except for the shadow of his brother-in-law on the day he entered the mansion, he had always been invisible the rest of the time.
Seeing him suddenly, Su Mingjue felt that something was wrong. He looked at Su Yang standing next to him to find out the situation, but the other party also had a blank look on his face.
Su Mingjue had no choice but to calm down, sat down on the chair next to her and said without hesitation: "I'm very happy. I haven't seen you for many days, and you've become much more handsome!"
Su Yang ignored the other party's sugar-coated bullets. , took a sip of tea and said: "Since I am happy, I am relieved. Your mother sent someone over and said that she wants you to go back."
Su Mingjue's face froze when he heard this: "Go back... to where?"
Su Yang glanced at him, "Prince's Mansion." Su
Mingjue suddenly had a bitter look on his face, pursed his lips, and at the same time gave Su Yang a look: "Good uncle, I finally came back from the capital, and I want to spend more time with you." Su Yang has been playing for a while."
Su Yang received the look and nodded in agreement, "That's right! Dad, my son hasn't had a good time with Ming Jue yet! Auntie, why don't you try to persuade him to keep him for a while longer!"
Su Yang Yang put the tea cup on the table and said unmoved: "It's not that I don't want you to stay, it's just that your mother sent someone to say that she wants to spend more time with you, and I, as a brother-in-law, can't stop you mother and son. Let's get together."
After saying that, he stood up and left, leaving no room for Su Mingjue.
Su Mingjue sat on the chair and sighed, "I hope I won't have him read poems and debate again when I go back."
So, the next day, Su Mingjue returned to the Wang Mansion from Su Mansion.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw that there were many fewer people in the house than before. Su Mingjue was a little puzzled for a moment.
Then he shouted again: "I'm back, Mother!"
The voice was loud, but no one answered.
Su Mingjue refused to give up and shouted again: "Grandma, Mingjue is back!"
The air was quiet, and there was still no response.
Su Mingjue looked at the boy carrying flowers in front of him and asked in confusion: "Where are my mother and grandmother?"
The boy stopped and lowered his head and responded: "The young lady and madam went out."
Su Mingjue murmured in her heart: What a coincidence, they went out when he came back. If that's the case, why did you ask him to come back?
"Where are you going?"
"I don't know, little one."
Su Mingjue waved his hand after hearing this and didn't ask any more questions, but he would be back during dinner.
Who would have expected that they would wait until the sun goes down? The Wang family comes from a scholarly and noble family, and they pay attention to eating and sleeping without saying a word when eating. Even though Su Mingjue saw them coming back, it was hard for her to ask questions.
After finally waiting for his mother to return to her yard, Su Mingjue ran over and asked, "What are you doing, mother? You've been working so hard all day."
Wang Ruofu let the maid take off the hairpin on her head and replied, " Some refugees came from outside the city and went to give porridge. "
The Wang family has always had a tradition of being charitable, so Su Mingjue didn't think much about it when he heard this.
Thinking that more than ten days had passed since his field vacation, but Su Shiqian still hadn't come back, he asked again: "Mom, what is my father busy with? I haven't seen him come back yet."
"Your father is early! There are water bandits making trouble in the south, and he wants to stay there."
Su Mingjue was stunned when he heard this, "The water bandits are coming to the south of the Yangtze River." Wang
Ruofu squinted his eyes slightly to recover, and was a little surprised to hear this, "When will you still worry about it?" Your father's official duties have come up."
Su Mingjue pursed his lips and said with a smile: "Aren't you worried? Can father control the water bandits by himself?"
Wang Ruofu said with a smile: "How can your father take on that air, but there is The censor is here, so he has to put on a show. "
It's not that Su Mingjue doesn't like Su Shiqian, it's because his father has never been very ambitious, and he likes elegant poetry, poetry, and debates.
But he is very lazy when it comes to official affairs. Official affairs have always been left to the master below to take care of them. He can just nod his head like a decoration on weekdays.
The only useful thing he had done recently was to send him to the capital. Su Mingjue secretly thought that according to Su Shiqian's style, he was probably sending him to the capital just to study hard and bring him glory.
But didn't he say before that his embarrassment had nothing to do with him?
After a moment, Su Mingjue pursed her lips again. She was such an old fox. She would throw away all embarrassments and keep close to those who competed for his face.
No wonder he, a fox, insisted on taking him to the symposium. It turned out to be this trick.
However, when did the imperial court send a supervisory censor over
? Didn’t they not even look at it before?
Before Su Mingjue had time to think deeply, Wang Ruofu said to Su Mingjue with his black hair loose: "It just so happens that you are back. Tomorrow you will Just come with me to give porridge!"
Su Mingjue pursed her lips and was about to refuse.
Wang Ruofu said again: "Your grandmother is old and it is difficult for her to travel around. You can fulfill your filial piety for her."
Su Mingjue had no choice but to nod in agreement.
...
The next day, Su Mingjue was sitting in the car with a sleepy look on her face. She couldn't muster any energy. She lifted up the car curtain and leaned out. After a while, she put it down again, feeling bored.
It's not that Su Mingjue doesn't like helping others, it's just that when he first came here, he also helped him with porridge a few times. The scene was so speechless.
The people who come down to eat are not poor people at all, but idle people who have nothing to do all day long.
While receiving the porridge, he shouted something nice:
"Madam, eternal life, madam, long blessings!"
"Thanks to madam's kind-heartedness, we will not starve to death. Madam's move really benefits the people, and we will definitely be rewarded with blessings!
" He is beautiful, but he never earns his own living, yet his mother still does this.
The carriage followed the vehicle in front slowly towards the outside of the city and stopped at the city gate.
Su Mingjue opened the curtain, and before she could get out of the carriage, she saw a group of poorly dressed, sallow-looking people surrounding the carriage.
All of them were thin, but they stared at the people on the carriage like hungry wolves pounced on their prey.
The accompanying attendants took out their long sticks and circled the carriage, scolding the crowd that kept coming.
When Su Mingjue saw this scene, she was also a little dumbfounded. Why did so many people suddenly gather around her? Their clothes did not look like the idle group before, but they looked like they had escaped from somewhere.
His whole body was not neat and tidy, his face was pitch black, his hair was like a chicken coop, and he looked sad and uneasy.
Just as he was thinking to himself, Wang Ruofu's soft and powerful voice came to his ears: "Everyone, the Wangfu is about to set up a porridge tent to serve porridge. Those who want to drink porridge should queue up in front of the Wangfu porridge tent. There will be no queue jumpers. Drink porridge.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd of people who had been surrounding him immediately rushed to the porridge shed. Wang Ruofu got off the carriage and ordered people to carry the grain and rice over, and ordered people to cook porridge on the spot.
Seeing this, Su Mingjue got off the carriage and followed.
