Old Master Su smiled slightly and said, "Tell me about it."
Su Zimu thought for a while before speaking, "Your Majesty planned to let Chang'an and the eldest girl enter our Su Mansion. In particular, at the beginning, she only needed to live in the courtyard directly, but His Majesty specifically ordered us to follow the rules of the Su family, so we had to write poems when we entered the courtyard, and then we went to the poetry meeting. All of this was planned by His Majesty."
"The reason is to make the eldest girl famous, but in fact it is to let those people see that the eldest girl's reputation will only become more and more prominent outside, so that those who are not happy with the eldest girl sitting in the back seat will think of ways to make the eldest girl leave or return to the palace."
"After all, we are in the palace, far from the outside world. It is not easy to gain fame again. That is why His Majesty specially arranged those things. But."
When Su Zimu said this, his expression became somewhat conflicted.
Old Master Su smiled and said, "But what? But Your Majesty didn't expect that she just started it, and then our eldest girl did it all by herself? Whether it's in terms of literary talent, or the current reputation of "the young lady who likes to eat rabbit meat" and "the chicken leg fairy" that the people talk about with relish? Or are you wondering what to do if you fail, right?"
Su Zimu nodded: "Just like what the Eighth Prince did on the first day, if the eldest girl didn't have such literary talent, she might have even tarnished her reputation. Now I'm afraid it's a completely different situation. So, I don't understand why Your Majesty would take such a risk if he is like this."
Old Master Su laughed out loud: "I've lived for half of my life, but I still can't figure this out."
Su Zimu felt a little ashamed, but still didn't understand what Old Master Su meant.
Old Master Su smiled and said, "What does our eldest girl look like?"
Chapter 48: Why sell my unwanted garbage at an auction in the downtown area!
Su Zimu was stunned for a moment, but still said: "The clouds resemble clothes, and the flowers resemble beauty."
Old Master Su said immediately, "That's right, it's like clouds resemble clothes and flowers resemble appearance. Since ancient times, it comes down to good looks, no matter whether it's a man or a woman, everything is right, and if you're not good-looking, everything is wrong! For example, Xun Kuang is pretty good-looking. If someone else is ugly, dresses like Xun Kuang all day long, doesn't take care of himself, and goes to the red-light district, even the women and men in the red-light district will charge more money before they are willing to accompany him. To be a talented and romantic man, you have to have good looks."
"If the Eighth Prince had really exposed what happened that day, and it was our Su family that didn't do it well, I, an old man, would have gone to His Majesty to apologize, but His Majesty would never blame me, because if my guess is correct, His Majesty had already arranged for people to spread the news about the eldest girl's appearance. If it was done well, it would have been great, but if it was done badly, I, an old man, would have shouldered the bad reputation."
"Talent and reputation? Talent and reputation are what scholars value. What do ordinary people know? Can they understand poetry and songs? They only care about what they can understand. With the girl's appearance, in the eyes of ordinary people, even if she can't write poetry, so what! She is good-looking. Besides, is poetry important? When the need arises, let the girl recite a few poems, and then present them at the right time."
"You already have a reputation for talent, don't you? Besides, reputation is something that can be damaged a little bit, it can be restored after some repair. Once you have the main reputation, the other things are just icing on the cake. Just like that flower street girl Liu Baishi, I often hear that she is pretty and can play the piano. Why didn't anyone mention that the courtesan can play the piano first? She didn't become a courtesan because she can play the piano, but because she is pretty."
"And now that I think about it carefully, His Majesty has arranged everything from the beginning. Those reputations will appear from the public by themselves. As for what good reputation His Majesty has arranged, I don't know."
"Don't forget, Zimu. Reputation is something that can be created out of thin air. It's just like those actors acting. Have you forgotten the Eighth Prince? And that old tutor?"
Su Zimu suddenly realized, and looked at his father who was about to speak but hesitated. After tasting the wine carefully, he bowed deeply to Old Master Su and said, "My son is stupid."
At this time, Su Zifeng said, "Father, if you think so, I'm afraid that His Majesty still has the intention of stopping those people. After all, no matter what His Majesty wants to do in the court, there will always be some people who will speak out against it. But now that the Queen Mother has asked the girl to return to the palace, those people will have to think twice, especially since she left the palace under the pretext of recuperating in the palace, so it is natural for her to go back now."
Old Master Su nodded, "It wasn't His Majesty who wanted the girl to go back, but those people were forced to let her go back. This matter, it's all because of the girl herself, she made herself so famous, especially the incident at the early winter poetry meeting. I heard that the old man Taifu was so angry that he sent the people he arranged to a bitter and cold place."
"But, if we really want to say that this matter can be carried out so quickly, it should be because the eldest girl saved Li Xingyue. That day, Li Jiulang went to see the Queen Mother, and then Li Jiulang replaced all the servants in the mansion. I think it was the Queen Mother who wanted to kill the little girl Li Xingyue. And then these two siblings."
At this point, Old Master Su shook his head and said, "It's not like they will break up. Although Li Jiulang has always remained neutral, he has offended many people. If he loses the Queen Mother's power, he will probably be targeted by the Grand Tutor and others. By then, he might even have a hard time protecting himself. Li Jiulang won't do anything to completely break off relations with the Queen Mother."
Su Zifeng thought for a moment and asked, "Do you need to try it out?"
Old Master Su shook his head and said, "Just let it go. Besides, this matter came up suddenly, maybe His Majesty has planned something. Don't make any decisions on your own."
Su Zifeng bowed immediately.
The old Master Su suddenly thought of something, then laughed and said, "Even if this plan is discovered by those people, they will all be defeated. Your Majesty has the demeanor of the late emperor."
"The most important thing is that the more our eldest girl shows her talent step by step, the more she will scare those people! I'm afraid that the eldest girl is a chess move left by the late emperor!"
After saying that, Old Master Su looked at his two sons and said, "Pack up and prepare. Send the eldest girl back to the palace in a week. All the necessary preparations have been made. Let's handle this matter properly."
After saying this, Old Master Su suddenly shook his head and smiled bitterly: "When I first welcomed her here, I thought I would let her live comfortably like this, and then I could just send her away when it was time to leave. But I didn't expect that girl to be so likable. I'm a little reluctant to let her go. Although some of the food that girl cooked is not to my taste, I really like some of it."
Su Zimu and Su Zifeng looked at each other and understood Old Master Su's feelings very well.
……
Inside the Prime Minister's residence, Li Jiulang watched his daughter resting through the window. He felt much better when he saw that there were fewer preserved fruits on the side.
Because Su Changan told him when he left.
As long as you eat, your body will recover.
If you go to the toilet more often, the toxins can be excreted.
In fact, after Su Changan and his companions left, Li Jiulang asked people to find a few female folk doctors, and the result was exactly the same as what Su Changan said.
But those people failed to find out the poison in the incense. It was only after Li Jiulang consulted many people that he confirmed that it was poisonous.
Because of this, Li Jiulang was even more grateful to Su Changan.
After all, if it weren’t for Su Changan, he would probably have to watch his daughter become thinner and thinner.
After all, who could have thought that the Queen Mother would bribe so many imperial doctors and female doctors to deceive herself!
Li Jiulang even found out later that some famous doctors and female doctors in the capital had been bribed.
The thorough planning made Li Jiulang's hatred increase dramatically!
The goateed strategist beside Li Jiulang trotted over and whispered, "Prime Minister, there's news from the palace that the Queen Mother wants Miss Chang'an to return to the palace and live in Lingqi Pavilion."
Hearing this, Li Jiulang frowned, but immediately figured it out: "This is because he hates Su Changan for saving Xingyue, and Su Changan's reputation is becoming more and more prominent, so he wants to keep an eye on him."
The goateed strategist thought for a moment and asked, "Then do we need to do something?"
Li Jiulang glanced at Li Xingyue in the room and said: "Let the people in the palace keep an eye on it, even if His Majesty is protecting us..."
At this point, Li Jiulang hesitated for a moment, then sneered, "So that's how it is. A thousand coincidences are not as good as a single opportunity. Your Majesty is really good at scheming. Li Nishang is really unlucky! My daughter is also lucky! Let the people in the palace keep an eye on it and say that I don't want Su Chang to let Miss Chang'an get into trouble. At the same time, spread it out and say that Miss Chang'an has cured those diseases that the imperial doctors and female doctors in the palace can't cure. Your Majesty wants Miss Chang'an to be famous, and I will help! Li Nishang wants to make Your Majesty unhappy, so I will make His Majesty happy. When you spread it out, add some exaggeration."
Upon hearing this, the goateed strategist immediately understood: "Understood."
But after saying that, the goatee strategist said: "However, if we do this, the Queen Mother..."
Li Jiulang shook his head: "She controlled me so that I dared not break up with her for Xingyue, but she forgot that I never let her touch the Ministry of Revenue and the inner treasury. She has soldiers under her command, but I am in charge of the money, so... Even if she is angry, so what. And now, she is angry all the time when she sees that His Majesty is so smooth and happy. So it doesn't matter. Besides, she did these things, and we should be separated, not for my own life, but for Xingyue."
The goateed strategist was slightly startled: "I will check the mansion again to make sure everything is safe!"
Li Jiulang nodded and looked at Li Xingyue who was lying on the sickbed.
Are the stars on your face?
That's really well said, it's nice to listen to.
……
In the Eighth Prince’s mansion.
Bang!
But the Eighth Prince threw the teacup in his hand and said, "What is that crazy woman thinking? She told me before that she would make the little emperor miserable! She wanted Su Changan to never return to the palace! But now she is taking the initiative to let Su Changan return to the palace?!"
The counselor beside the Eighth Prince saw this and immediately said, "Your Highness, calm down. I'm afraid something has happened. I have sent someone to the palace to see the Queen Mother. I believe that news will be reported back soon."
The Eighth Prince glanced at the man and asked directly, "Where is Mr. Fang?"
Hearing this, the man immediately said, "He was taken away by the prince, yes, yes."
Seeing the man hesitate, the Eighth Prince shouted, "Speak!"
After hesitating for a moment, the man said, "It was said that Miss Chang'an's calligraphy and painting flowed out of the Su Mansion today, so I dragged Mr. Fang to buy some."
boom! !
This time.
The Eighth Prince simply overturned the table!
Then he cursed directly: "This rebellious son! Are you really going to go against my wishes?!"
After cursing, the Eighth Prince looked at the man and asked, "Let's not talk about Su Changan's matter for now. Has Li Jiulang replied? Is he willing to let his daughter marry that rebellious son?"
The counselor immediately said, "No news has been sent back yet."
The Eighth Prince clenched his fists and said, "A scholar who settles accounts has gained the favor of my royal brother and has come this far. Does he really take himself seriously?"
……
Such residences that suddenly received news from the palace were all powerful residences in the court.
But without exception, after being stunned, they all understood everything in an instant. However, they were worried and confused about the Queen Mother's move. Why?
just
There is no need to say much about these things. Once the affairs of the temple are involved, the whole body is affected. There are too many things involved and too many things to consider.
On the contrary, at the same time, Su Changan
Looking at the scene in the commotion that looked like an auction.
He didn't know what to say.
because
The things being auctioned are the junk he doesn't want.
……
Ps: I don’t use PS today, lest you guys criticize me again!! Hehehehe!!
Chapter 49 This is Miss Changan's unique writing
"Although the beginning of the poem written by Miss Chang'an is only the three words 'Should be Heaven', it can be seen from the writing that Miss Chang'an is about to create another masterpiece. Just like the two pieces just now, they also flowed out of the Su Mansion today. Especially the writing of these three words, the authenticity can be verified. No cheating, ten times compensation if it is fake."
"Although this piece of calligraphy is not as long as the four words '形如駁骸' just now, the three words '應是天' alone are more beautiful in their artistic conception. One can imagine how the poems that follow will be. Ladies and Gentlemen, does anyone want this piece of calligraphy by Miss Chang'an?"
Not far away, at the door of a two-story study, a sharp-tongued servant was holding a pair of wrinkled papers in his hands.
The three words "Ye Shi Tian" were indeed written on the paper, and anyone who had seen Su Chang'an's handwriting could recognize at a glance that this was definitely Su Chang'an's handwriting!
It’s because only Su Changan’s handwriting is so ugly and abstract.
Especially if you look closely, you can find some oil stains under the paper.
However, the scholars in front of the study didn't seem to care about the oil stain at all, and just looked at the three words "Ying Shi Tian" carefully.
"Should be the sky, should be the sky, what? Miss Changan, what is this going to write? Or can this be connected with the previous 'Shape like a withered skeleton'?"
"Ms. Chang'an's poems are certainly not something we can imagine, but what is certain is that even if they are abandoned, they will certainly make people yearn for them. Don't forget that 'A Boat Full of Clear Dreams Overwhelming the Starry River' was the work that Miss Chang'an casually abandoned at the early winter poetry meeting."
"Brother Liu is absolutely right, so I will definitely buy this piece! Shopkeeper, please make an offer!"
