Rebirth's ultimate stand-in

Ning has been running a fever!Dad, I'll take him back to his room first. "
Su Zheyu panicked slightly.He didn't know what had happened to bring this lost son back.Similarly, he didn't know what made his originally healthy and lively child who liked to talk to him when he had nothing to do was so thin that he would collapse in the wind.
Soon the doctor was invited into the mansion.
Diagnosing the disease and picking up the medicine, the hot soup was delivered to Su Ning's mouth as quickly as possible.
When Su Ning was awakened, she had already changed into her clothes, and the stinging pain in her knees had subsided a lot, but when she opened her eyes and saw a room full of family members, his heart, which had been cold for a long time, warmed up, and he didn't dare to look up again.
"Third Young Master, I've taken the medicine." Xiao Qi sat by the bed, supporting Su Ning's body.
Su Ning's throat was dry, and she buried her watery eyes in the mist of the soup.But one entrance...
"Cough cough..."
Su Zheyu frowned, told Xiaoqi to stay aside, supported Su Ning herself, and tried the temperature of the medicine, couldn't help stirring and blowing slowly with a spoon.
Su Xue hugged Su Qi's waist pitifully.She, who had never been out of the boudoir, was obviously terrified by today's scene.Su Qi's expression didn't change from the beginning to the end, but seeing this situation, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
The only thing missing in this room is the "Madam".But none of them cared.It was a long time ago that Su Ning was at odds with "Madam".Su Ning even scolded that "from a humble background" in front of her servants.Although the child's words are unscrupulous, Su Ning just can't understand her being a girl in the house.
But all of this, he only realized when he grew up that Su Zheyu put a woman who was really not worthy of being the wife of the Su family, in fact, just to find a good family background for Su Qi.If he is always a concubine, as his mother, it is really hard not to be talked about.But if he is an upright young master of the Su family, the road to officialdom will naturally be much smoother.
It's just that Su Ning didn't understand at the time, she just thought that this woman beat his mother to death, and never wanted to respect her.Therefore, no one thought it was strange that she did not appear in Su Ning's room.
Watching Su Ning drink the medicine.The servants prepared some light meals.People with fever have no appetite, but the nourishing ginseng soup is indispensable.
Tomorrow, Su Zheyu had to go to court early, so he didn't spend much time with Su Ning.In the end, only Su Qi was left in the room, supervised him to eat most of the meal, and then let him go to sleep with satisfaction.
"Brother, don't leave yet." Seeing that Su Qi was about to go out, Su Ning grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Su Qi turned around suddenly, not knowing why.But looking at Su Ning's appearance, it seemed that he had something very important to say, so he signaled Xiao Qi to step back first.
"Speak." Su Qi's words were always so simple.
Su Ning sorted it out, and then said, "The second prince, can you still go?"
Su Qi was a little puzzled.
The Taisho Dynasty paid great attention to the knowledge and education of the princes, so even the princes of Lifu would regularly check their studies.This kind of thing will continue until the prince and the crown.
Su Qi has been one of the accompanying students of the second prince Chu Xun since he was a child, even now that he is older, he still goes to Prince Jing's mansion from time to time.Prince Jing has always been famous for his studiousness, and his accompanying students are also the children of officials.Therefore, it is natural to have frequent exchanges.
Su Ning had experienced King Jing usurping the throne in the previous life, so although she was ignorant, it was not difficult to think of these things.In the previous life, Su Qi was one of the people implicated by Prince Jing.Died at the time of the palace change.If not, with Su Zheyu's style, it is impossible to have Su Xue brought back to curry favor with Chu Ci.
Most of the families that participated in the second prince's usurpation of the throne were imprisoned, and the Su family was able to survive entirely because of Su Xue, who had never been in the family back then.
Whatever has a cause has an effect, if the cause is pulled out, there will be no more that effect.At this moment, Su Ning's thoughts are so simple.
Su Ning tidied up her disturbed emotions, "Brother, isn't he going to take the next spring exam? Isn't it good to start studying behind closed doors now?"
"Brother is aware of this matter. You have a good rest!" After finishing speaking, he went out.
Su Ning sighed, wondering if this brother could persuade her.
The author has something to say:
☆、〇〇 Chapter Six (Revised)
Su Ning's return undoubtedly caused a stir in the Su residence.
Everyone was very pleased, except for Mrs. Xu.
When Mrs. Xu was a girl in the Su Mansion, she was actually quite well-behaved.She was Su Zheyu's first woman, and she was also the woman who taught the young master the art of the house.Su Zheyu was nostalgic, and did not forget her after getting married, so he took her into a side room.
At first she was grateful to Dade, but later the main wife died of a blood collapse, and Su Zheyu did not continue.Although she does not have the name of a wife in this Su family, she has the reality of a wife.
After suffering like this for several years, Su Qi grew up, and Su Zheyu actually helped him upright.And Su Qi also legitimately became the second prince's accompanying student, which can be regarded as a relationship with the royal family.
This made Xu's heart expand infinitely.
Everything went well, except for that Su Ning.This is the biggest stumbling block for my son.I thought this stumbling block could finally be thrown out, but unexpectedly, after disappearing for half a month, he slipped back by himself.He got Su Zheyu's understanding overnight.Looking at Su Zheyu's expression, one could tell how good he was. This kind of smile had not been seen for many years.
Su Xu was so angry that his teeth were itching, and after serving Su Zheyu to court early in the morning, and taking care of everything about Su Qi, he leisurely came to visit the sick.
Seeing this, he blew up again.
That wayward little Hades was actually lying on the couch, reading a book in his hands.
This definitely stimulated Su Xu's heart greatly.She absolutely can't let this little bastard steal Su Zheyu's favor.
"Yo, is Ning'er feeling better?"
Su Ning slightly moved the book away, and glanced at Su Xushi, neither salty nor bland, without any emotion.
Su Xu walked over with a smile, followed by two little girls, who were no older than Ji.
Su Ning looked over the three of them calmly, and said, "What's the matter?"
Su Xu's smile leaked a hint of sarcasm.
"In a few days, you will be thirteen, and you seem to be able to understand some things."
When Su Ning heard this, her expression turned ugly.Don't blame him for being prejudiced against this woman. This woman really dares to say anything that is not on the stage.
Seeing Su Ning's expression, Su Xu's heart was even more proud, the cold little bully, she really wanted to strip his hair to be reconciled.
"Don't say that I, a mother, didn't take care of you. In fact, Qi'er only reads sage books, and has never had any bad habits in this regard. So..."
Su Ning's complexion really turned cold this time, and she brushed the pages of the book with her fingers, and asked indifferently: "So? How are you doing?"
Su Xu motioned to the two little girls, and the little girls knelt down together.
"Instead of asking you to go to Duanwang's mansion to have fun and submit to others, it's better to be comfortable at home and let the maids serve you..."
"Crack!" A book hit the bull's-eye impartially.Su Xushi's face twitched a few times, she never imagined that Su Ning would dare to hit her in front of the servants.
Throwing away the book, she was about to throw a tantrum, vowing to let everyone in the Su family know how rebellious Su Ning is!
Su Ning sneered and stopped her in advance.
"If you really want the whole Su family to know that you used the maidservant to seduce the master, you might as well shout louder."
Su Xu's face froze, and she didn't remember it.
Su Ning thought to herself: What an idiot!It's really contemptible to only use such indecent methods that harm others and benefit oneself.
"If a mother raises her stepson in this way, I don't think my father will agree with it!"
Su Xushi finally came to her senses, Su Zheyu's mood just got better just now, and Su Ning just pleaded guilty yesterday, her knees were worn down to the bone, so naturally it is impossible to carry two women by her side today.Even if you want to blow the pillow wind, this is not the time.Isn't she pouring dirty water on herself?
Immediately, Su Xu suppressed her anger and squeezed out an embarrassed smile, "I'm just joking with you! I'm afraid you'll recover from illness and bored, so I specially brought two maids here to take care of you."
Su Ning really wanted to scold her. If she had said this earlier, she might have had a chance to fight him for a few rounds. Obviously, now, the scar has been ruptured, and the disgusting pus has flowed all over the ground. Who would pick it up.
"For the sake of big brother, I don't want to haggle with you. This matter will be exposed!"
Su Xu breathed a sigh of relief.She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Su Ning again.After this little overlord came back, there was indeed something different. Although he was still cold, he felt much calmer.
"Aunt Xu, bring your things back! Do you want me to send you off in person!"
This "Auntie" made Xu's fire burst out again.
Su Ning snorted coldly, "You really don't deserve to be called Ma'am based on what you've done!" After that, ignore her.
Su Xu touched the ashes on her nose, feeling so depressed, she went back and beat the little girl to pieces.
But these are not things Su Ning cares about.
The only thing he has to do now is to prevent his elder brother from being implicated in the matter of the second prince, and not to let Su Xue lose her husband and son because of such a mess.
Surprisingly, he was still planning to beat Su Qi so that he couldn't get out of bed, and came to refuse to go to Prince Jing's mansion, but Su Qi had already walked into his study, and said expressionlessly: "Tomorrow, let's go to Prince Jing's mansion together." Go to Shuiyun Pavilion to study."
Su Ning was stunned.
Su Qi glanced at him, "It's time for you to make up your homework. I will find time to make up for you."
After all, without waiting for Su Ning's consent, this Young Master Su has already stepped out of the study.
Shuiyun Pavilion is a water pavilion in Su Mansion.As a Hanlin scholar with great knowledge and knowledge, Su Zheyu's family property is limited, but the reserve of books is quite astonishing.
There are nearly ten large and small study rooms in Su's residence, and Su Zheyu will put a bookshelf wherever he goes.
And this Shuiyun Pavilion is a small library.The two-story building stands in the middle of the lake. The first floor is a collection of classic ancient and modern history, plus a small living room.And upstairs is the most private place that only the Su family can go to.There are couches, chairs and tables near the window.When you are fascinated by reading, you don't need to go downstairs all day.
Su Qi is such a lunatic.Every time Su Ning saw him like this, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.And Su Ning herself couldn't stay for a quarter of an hour.Now, he was able to sit obediently and study the homework that Su Qi assigned him.
The two brothers had never been together so peacefully for such a long time.In the evening, after Su Zheyu finished handling all the affairs, he would also come to Shuiyun Pavilion to check their homework.
Su Qi is already 17 years old, if he can pass the exam in the coming year, he will be regarded as a successor.
"Ning'er's handwriting is still so ugly, what should I do?" Su Zheyu frowned slightly, rubbing his chin, looking thoughtful.
Su Ning obediently knelt down opposite the short couple, looking at her father with a guilty conscience.
Su Qi picked up the pen and moved closer, with a rare smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, Dad deliberately scared you. Your handwriting is very beautiful, and it has grown a lot compared to the last time I saw it."
"Last seen"?Su Ning was a little puzzled. In his impression, he was not familiar with this elder brother enough to allow him to see his handwriting and notes.
Su Zheyu also smiled, "Although it's not bad, it's still far behind Qi'er!" Su Zheyu reached out and squeezed Su Ning's face.
"Father, I am five years younger than my brother!" Su Ning reminded loudly.But he was silently ashamed in his heart, in terms of his previous life, he must have lived five years longer than Su Qi.
After laughing, Su Zheyu took out a small box from his arms, pushed it in front of Su Ning, and motioned him to open it.
Su Ning was a little puzzled, could it be a reward for her prodigal son's return?
I couldn't wait to open it and saw that it turned out to be two jade tube pens.Suitable for both large and small, writing and painting.
"It will be your and Su Xue's birthdays in a few days. This year we will always do it for you." Speaking of this, Su Zheyu couldn't help sighing.
The day the siblings were born coincided with the death of his beloved woman. It has been 13 years, and he deeply remembers this day. He only holds death anniversary, never birthday banquet.Now that the child is grown up, it is time for him to let some things pass.
"That girl..."
"Your mother sees that you are so sensible, and you can rest in peace if you know it!"
The author has something to say:
☆、〇〇 Chapter Seven (Revised)
On the tenth day after Su Ning returned to Su Mansion, someone from Duan Wang Mansion came to the door.
Su Ning was practicing calligraphy at the time, and he hesitated for a while after hearing this.
Su Qi raised his head and said: "After all, he is King Duan, so you can't be too rude!" After that, he put down the book in his hand and accompanied Su Ning to the flower hall to meet the guests.
The person who came was Lu Qing, the most unlucky servant around Duan Wang.With a pale face, he almost knelt down when he saw Su Ning, but when he saw Su Qi behind Su Ning, he became more disciplined.
Su Ning frowned, looked at his distressed look, "What's the matter?"
Lu Qing glanced at Su Qi unconsciously, but the other party didn't intend to leave, so he sorted it out and said, "It's Miss Su's birthday in a few days, Your Highness wants to give Miss Su a gift, but he doesn't want to leave." I know how to choose, so..."
Lu Qing didn't dare to look up, so he could only sneak a glance at the two masters.
Of course Su Ning didn't want to go, but it seemed difficult to refuse.At least their Su family can't afford to offend that master.
Su Qi smiled, "It's just shopping, it won't take much time, I'll ask the teacher for an hour's leave, it should be enough, right?"
The second half of the sentence was naturally for Lu Qing.
Although Lu Qing was embarrassed, it was better than not inviting anyone.If this continues, his head will not be safe, so he immediately nodded vigorously, "Enough! Enough! Your Highness is already in Gu Yuzhai!" Lu Qing silently rubbed the sweat on his forehead.
Hearing about Gu Yuzhai's place, Su Qi felt relieved.
Su Ning then followed Lu Qing out.
In the private room of Gu Yuzhai, Duan Wang picked out all kinds of beautiful jade carvings that the shopkeeper held in front of him.
"...Your Highness, are you not satisfied?" The shopkeeper sweated deeply.For half an hour, this His Highness hardly uttered a complete sentence.Instead, intentionally or unintentionally, he looked at the street scene outside the window.
Uh, in fact, although these jade stones may not be comparable to the tributes from the imperial palace, if they are placed in the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, his Gu Yuzhai can be counted among the best.
The shopkeeper stood upright, his waist was already stiff, but he still didn't hear a word of satisfaction from the master.Just when the shopkeeper was about to dig out all the old goods at the bottom of the press box, the corner of Ye's mouth suddenly twitched, and he began to play with the jade in his hand seriously.
After a while, I heard the footsteps of "bao bao", and a voice came in.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang." Su Ning's inconsistency is false, it is the first time he has rejected Duan Wang.This master has been spoiled and pampered since he was a child, and he has never had anything out of his hands.Even if it's a toy, he has good reason to take himself as his own.This has nothing to do with love or hate, it's just a habit of occupying my heart.
Along the way, he did not take Lu Qing's carriage, but swayed slowly.He even hoped that the old man had already left impatiently, which would save him trouble.
Su Ning stood respectfully outside the door for a long while before hearing, "Come in."
Su Ning wiped her forehead, pushed the door open, and the shopkeeper finally let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly made tea for the young master of the Su family.
Su Ning stood two meters away and didn't move or speak.
Chu Ci glanced at him, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked dissatisfiedly, "So long?"
Su Ning didn't intend to answer this reprimand.
Chu Ci waited for a long while, but when he didn't hear him say anything, the air-conditioning burst out.
The shopkeeper touched the cold sweat on his forehead, "Your Highness, I'll go to the warehouse and bring you some more." After saying that, he ran away in despair.
Chu Ci glanced at the honestly closed door and was quite satisfied, then pointed to the chair beside him and ordered, "Come and sit!"
This time Su Ning did not refuse, but he chose a chair farther away.
Chu Ci was taken aback, isn't this little bastard the one who likes to sit next to him the most?Sure enough, he was still angry.
"What's wrong? How dare you bet with the Lord for such a long time?" Ten days, since which year, he almost never saw Su Ning for such a long time.
Su Ning raised her head, the other party was only a 15-year-old boy, how could she understand what he was feeling at the moment.He didn't bother to explain, he just said: "What gift does Your Highness want to choose for sister?"
Hearing Su Ning's peaceful words, the dark clouds in Chu Ci's heart dissipated a few, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he assumed a master's arrogant posture, "I called you here, just to ask, what does Su Xue like?"
Chuci once asked him this question, and he told him that since my sister likes jade, it is natural to choose the most beautiful jade.In fact, it is not the case, although Su Xue is young, she has always been aloof, not only does not like gold and silver jewelry, but also disdains princes and grandsons to compare gold and jade to show their status.
As a result, that time, Chu Ci chose the best jade carving, and with the price of his third highness, he overwhelmed all the officials' children, but it touched Su Xue's restricted area.Su Xue was naturally very grateful on the surface, but she began to distance herself from this Chu Ci.
Su Ning once thought that maybe this was the reason why Su Xue didn't like Chuci all the time, even if this person was a royal nobleman, she didn't even look at him.
"What are you planning again?" Chu Ci looked as if he had seen through Su Ning's tricks.Although this little guy is young, his mind is like a hornet's nest.He really can't take it lightly.
Seeing that Su Ning lowered her head and her thick eyelashes trembled, Chu Ci couldn't help reaching out to pick up his chin.
Su Ning dodged his hand reflexively, and even leaned back.
"My sister loves elegance. Your Highness's paintings and calligraphy are praised by all the scholars of the Imperial Academy. Why don't you give me a copy of His Highness's calligraphy?"
This is definitely a heartfelt recommendation.But that His Highness rolled his eyes, "Mobao? That's good! I'll give her a jade carving! It must be the most beautiful and luxurious in the whole capital..."
Su Ning was stunned, and looked at Chu Ci in disbelief.
Chu Ci smiled strangely, and tapped Su Ning's forehead, "You think I don't know that you are narrow-minded, and you are afraid that I will win your sister's favor!"
Su Ning didn't even bother to sigh, what could he say!
Anyway, if my sister doesn't like Chu Ci, maybe he is a better man, so let him go.
After choosing good things, Su Ning followed Chu Ci out of Gu Yuzhai.
"Zuixianglou has a new cook..."
As soon as Chu Ci spoke, Su Ning bowed to him and said, "Your Highness has already picked out the things, and there is still a teacher waiting at the minister's house, so I won't accompany you!"
Chu Ci's face froze, and he was pushed back halfway through what he said, making him feel like a stick in his throat, feeling extremely depressed, and his tone immediately became difficult.
"Which one is your teacher? Could his words be more important than my king's words!"
Duan Wang's little overlord has lost his temper.Lu Qing plucked up his courage, "Master Su asked for an hour's leave for the younger master..." Can he say that?Not to mention, he will definitely be blamed by Mr. Su.If he goes to the Su Mansion again in the future, he will probably sit on the bench, which will make things worse.
As expected, King Duan's murderous eyes glared fiercely at the blind servant.
"Your Highness just wants someone to accompany you for entertainment, but I don't really need a minister. And the minister has delayed his studies for a long time, which is an insult to the Su family. From now on, the minister will thank guests behind closed doors and concentrate on his studies. Hope you Your Highness is perfect!" Su Ning bowed deeply again.
Chu Ci's heart twitched, and he couldn't help sneering: "You mean, I won't see you again in the future? You think too much of your status! Hmph!"
Su Ning could feel the sarcasm in that tone, perhaps, he wished that he would be without this obstacle.If I remember correctly, there are several daughters and sons of concubines staring at this big piece of fat.As soon as Chuci opened the mansion, three wives and four concubines were inevitable, how many people looked eagerly.
Su Ning didn't speak, he had already decided to cut off all ties with Chu Ci.Since this life made him live a new life, he had to live a good life again.See how his life would be without that man.
The two were deadlocked in Gu Yuzhai for a quarter of an hour, and Chu Ci said almost everything that could crush Su Ning into dust, trying to convince him that without him, Prince Duan, he, the Third Young Master Su, was nothing at all.And he, Third Young Master Su, is no different in Duan Wang's heart, so don't say arrogantly in front of him that he has no time to accompany him, but Duan Wang discarded this toy...
Su Ning didn't say a single rebuttal.Only the 12-year-old Su Ning really cares about youthful arrogance, and he has already seen through all of this.
Chu Ci looked at Su Ning, who was standing respectfully in front of him, without much expression, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.How could he tolerate such an unruly bastard, when he was about to forcibly carry him back to Duanwang's mansion, a hearty voice came over.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang! Third Young Master Su!" Zhang Ji came at the right time.
Chu Ci was about to pull Su Ning's hand back, suppressed his anger, and looked at this little general who came at an inopportune time.Since Zhang was about the same age as Su Qi, both civil and military, he was highly valued by the emperor, now seventeen, he has received the title of captain of the capital, guarding the capital.Therefore, no matter how powerful the prince's authority is, he will give him some face.
"I'm free today, come to Guyuzhai to pick out two pieces of jade." Zhang said plainly, and there was no abnormality on his face.
"Third Young Master, it will be your birthday in a few days, and you may not have time to go to the Su Mansion for your brother. You can buy whatever you like! It's atonement for your brother."
Since Zhang appeared so well, it was naturally Su Qi's favor.So Su Ning looked at him very reassuringly at this moment, nodded, "Then you are welcome!"
Zhang Ji smiled, seeing the cute appearance of this little guy, he couldn't help being happy for Su Qi.
But His Highness Duan Wang's face turned black.
"Your birthday?"
In these years, he never thought that Su Ning still had a birthday.
Zhang Ji was startled, "Hey... I thought His Highness came to buy a gift for Su Ning..."
Zhang Ji's surprise made Chu Ci suddenly feel ashamed, and the anger in his heart slowly changed.I saw him glaring at Su Ning with an angry face, "Why didn't you tell me your birthday? In front of outsiders, it seems that I have treated you harshly!"
These words clearly exclude Zhang Ji.No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Ji is, it's not good to meddle in their "housework".
Su Ning raised her eyes, looked at this angry young man, bowed slightly, and saluted, "What is your Highness talking about! I dare not expect a gift from Your Highness. Besides, this young minister was born on the same day as my sister, so Your Highness knows It's..." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the wooden box in the boy's hand.
Do you want him to say more?
"Brother Zhang, please go in and sit down for a while, I will come soon."
Zhang Ji nodded and left.
When Su Ning and Chu Ci were left alone, Su Ning solemnly raised her robe and bowed to the ground, "Thank you for your care these years, Your Highness."
At that moment, Chu Ci finally believed that Su Ning was really going to abandon him.His heart was empty, and his mind was bewildered. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Su Ning got up and patted the dust on her robe, it was finally clean this time.
When he took the first step, Chu Ci suddenly grabbed his hand, with obvious resentment in his eyes.Su Ning was slightly startled, but then could only sigh.
"I have never held any weight in Your Highness's heart. It's better to get rid of this little minister as soon as possible. Your Highness is the beloved King Duan. I wish His Highness a smooth life and a hundred years of peace and prosperity!"
Chu Ci's hand slowly slipped down.
The author has something to say:
☆、〇〇Eight chapters (edited)
Su Ning entered Gu Yuzhai without hesitation, and chose the gift that really belonged to her.
It was still past time when Su Ning returned to Su Mansion.Cai Xiaoqi had been watching at the door, and as soon as he came back, he sent someone to report to Su Qi.
Su Ning couldn't help laughing, and asked the disciple to report how long it would take to reach Shuiyun Pavilion with him?
Unexpectedly, it would be Su Xue who came out to greet him first.
Su Xue's almond eyes turned into crescent moons, making Su Ning's hair stand on end.
"What, what are you doing?" Isn't she here to arrest her for "stealing" her fiancé?
Su Xue stretched out her hand, "Bring it!"
Su Ning was holding two boxes in her hands, and Su Xue was trying to grab one with all her teeth and claws.
This is the first time for Su Ning to see her lose her ladylike demeanor, and she can't help being a little dazed.
"Which one did my brother buy for me? I want to see it, hurry up!"
Brother?wipe!When did Su Xue and Zhang Ji have such a good relationship?
Su Ning handed her a box with a numb scalp, and reminded her very conscientiously, "It's a jade!" Su Xue almost smashed the jade carving sent by Chu Ci in the last life.Su Ning was ready to take over, he couldn't let Su Xue smash Zhang Ji's things.
Unexpectedly, when this Su Xue opened the wooden box, her eyes lit up, and starlight burst forth from her eyes.
Su Ning's shock can no longer be expressed in words - dare to say, Su Xue doesn't hate these "flashy things"?It all depends on who is giving the gift.
Su Ning silently wiped off her sweat, and asked tentatively, "Sister likes...Brother Zhang?"
"Of course I like it!" Su Ning said almost reflexively, but after realizing the "Brother Zhang" added after Su Ning, her face blushed instantly, "I'm talking about jade from my brother."
Su Ning really wanted to hit the wall, it turned out that he had never understood the true intentions of this sister.So what happened to the poor scholar who eloped with her in the end?
Su Ning couldn't understand, seeing Su Xue's smile from ear to ear, he went back to Shuiyun Pavilion disgruntled.
Seeing him coming back, Su Qi looked disappointed, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his head, subconsciously comforting the child who had cut off his love.
"Do you still like what Zhang Ji gave you?"
Su Qi raised his head suddenly, and only then did he notice Su Qi's actions. They had never had such close physical contact. At that moment, he felt a little awkward, but at the same time he felt a little bit reluctant.Su Qi also seemed to be aware of this problem, his hands froze for a moment, as if he was going to retract them, and finally he frowned and rubbed them heavily again.
Su Ning also laughed, and rubbed against Su Qi's palm flatteringly.
"Hmm! I like it! Brother Zhang asked Brother Zhang to go!"
Su Qi didn't hide it either, "That guy is training cavalry today, I'm afraid he'll be late!" Speaking of this, he felt sore, a big brother who can't even protect his own younger brother is really useless.That's why he worked so hard under the second prince.
The second prince has also grown up, and his ambition is gradually revealed, Su Qi also knows that he should leave as soon as possible.He just took advantage of the spring exam and took advantage of the emperor's routine inspection of the second prince's homework, so he asked for his resignation.
The emperor liked the talents of the Su family's father and son, so naturally he was unwilling to let such a good seedling stay here, so he wished that he could serve the country as soon as possible.
Furthermore, the emperor also intends to dismiss the so-called "accompanying" courtiers around the second prince.Everyone is so big, and it is inevitable to start a family and start a business. He absolutely cannot tolerate using this to form cliques and add soil to partisan disputes.
Su Qi guessed the intentions of many parties, and broke away from the second prince's imprisonment in one fell swoop.
If he can pass the high school examination next spring, perhaps, he will be an official of the imperial court, and he will naturally be more capable of protecting his family.
September 13th is the [-]th birthday of Su Ning and Su Xue.Early in the morning, the Su family paid homage to Mrs. Su, Qi Ningxue, in the ancestral hall. Su Zheyu turned his head to look at the two sons and a daughter. The boy was majestic and graceful, and the girl was soft and graceful, and his heart was infinitely comforted.
"Xue'er, Ning'er, you stay here to chat with your mother!" After saying that, Su Zheyu led the others away.
Su Xue and Su Ning knelt on the futon, looking like a golden boy and a jade girl.
"Brother, tell me, if I die, will I be able to see my mother?" Su Xue looked at the tablet in a daze.
They had never met their mother, and Aunt Xu would only be superficial in front of her father, and she had no affection for them in private.Su Ning was very resentful. Although Su Xue had never talked back to Aunt Xu, she probably longed for the maternal love that she had never enjoyed in her heart.
"Probably can..." Su Ning also looked at the tablet.Before committing suicide in the previous life, 20 years passed by in a flash, but there were many gaps in the period. Now that I think about it, it should be this shortcoming that even death can't make up for.
The two knelt in front of Qi Ningxue's memorial tablet for about a quarter of an hour.Su Ning's legs were a little numb, so she shook her clothes and got up, and went to help Su Xue.Su Xue stretched out her hand, just as her knee left the futon, it suddenly fell down again.
Su Ning was stunned, and looked down at Su Xue without knowing why.
A look of panic flashed across Su Xue's face.She didn't raise her head, she just said: "I'll accompany my mother for a while! There are guests coming today, you go to receive them!"
Su Ning didn't doubt that there was him, but just assumed that Su Ning also had numb legs, so she withdrew from the ancestral hall.
As soon as Su Ning left, cold sweat broke out on Su Xue's face, her body was limp on the futon, she seemed to be kowtowing from behind, but in fact, her nails were already pale.
"What? Can't hold it anymore?"
A voice sounded from the soul, without any emotion, but there was a faint trace of worry in the words.
Su Xue took a few deep breaths, and slowly opened her mouth, "Su Ruo, if I die, can you help me take care of my brother?" This is the only person she can't let go of.And this voice has been with her for 13 years, hidden in her body.It was as if her soul split into two extremes.One weak, one hard; one gentle, one indifferent.
Without Su Ruo's presence, Su Xue might not be able to survive long ago.
Su Ruoleng snorted, "I don't understand, he doesn't regard you as his sister! Could it be that you can't see that?"
"That was before, he was obsessed with Duan Wang! Now, he is still my good brother!"
Weak people are often also blindly kind.There was a hint of helplessness in Su Ruo's voice, "Give me your body! You can't even walk like this!"
Su Xue, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and left the ancestral hall in good spirits.
……
A gentleman is good at the six arts.Naturally, Su Zheyu would not let go of any opportunity to make Su Ning a talent.As soon as Su Ning's birthday passed, he filled him with homework.From Chen time to You time every day, there is almost no free time.
Although he didn't have all the teachers in Shinan's study to accompany him, what was rare was that Su Ning worked hard, and the results came up, making Su Zheyu happy.
Su Ning's riding, shooting, boxing and kicking skills are almost all entrusted to Zhang Ji. If Zhang Ji is not free, he will appoint his own men to come to Su's residence.The one who was most satisfied with this was naturally Su Xue. Every time Zhang Ji came, she would very obediently hold the stool and the pastry box, and ran up to "show courteousness" while taking advantage of the gap.Su Ruo couldn't help laughing at her, "Aren't you going to show your heart? What's the use of looking at it like this?"
Su Xue smiled very calmly: "If I leave, wouldn't it be cheaper for you!" Anyway, looking at Zhang Ji, Su Xue looked happy.Su Ruo despises this very much!
Zhang didn't get used to the feelings of this girl at first, but later on he was able to treat Su Xue like Su Ning.
The older these two little guys, the bigger the difference in appearance.Su Xue still had big, watery eyes, glistening with autumn water.But Su Ning's eyes gradually became slender, and her stature also twitched, as if she had been raised too well in the past few months.
"In a few days, there will be an inspection in the military, does Xiao Ning want to go and have a look?"
Su Ning's eyes lit up, "Iron Cavalry Camp?"
Zhang Ji smiled mysteriously, "It's a competition between the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Habayashi Guards. Once every six months."
Su Ning hurriedly grabbed Zhang Ji to go.The man in the barracks was full of pride, and Su Ning yearned for it the most.
Su Ning was not born crooked. When he finally summed up his life, he felt that he was broken into a crooked tree by Chu Ci.Now that there is no Chu Ci, he feels that he will definitely grow into a straight towering tree.
After being reborn, he even thought about whether he wanted to join the army!But Zhang Ji poured cold water on him very responsibly, "You have a small body, you need to practice! Otherwise, you won't even be a soldier guarding the camp gate."
Su Ning really went to practice.But when he saw that he was injured all over his body, Su Qi was the first to get upset, and almost fell out with Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji was surprised, "Aren't you like this before? Isn't it normal for a man to be a little hurt?"
Su Qi just rolled his eyes, the usual image of Young Master Su was gone.
But Su Ning still practiced every day. In case of another war, even if he couldn't protect others, he couldn't burden others either!
When Zhang saw his small appearance, he
Su Zheyu panicked slightly.He didn't know what had happened to bring this lost son back.Similarly, he didn't know what made his originally healthy and lively child who liked to talk to him when he had nothing to do was so thin that he would collapse in the wind.
Soon the doctor was invited into the mansion.
Diagnosing the disease and picking up the medicine, the hot soup was delivered to Su Ning's mouth as quickly as possible.
When Su Ning was awakened, she had already changed into her clothes, and the stinging pain in her knees had subsided a lot, but when she opened her eyes and saw a room full of family members, his heart, which had been cold for a long time, warmed up, and he didn't dare to look up again.
"Third Young Master, I've taken the medicine." Xiao Qi sat by the bed, supporting Su Ning's body.
Su Ning's throat was dry, and she buried her watery eyes in the mist of the soup.But one entrance...
"Cough cough..."
Su Zheyu frowned, told Xiaoqi to stay aside, supported Su Ning herself, and tried the temperature of the medicine, couldn't help stirring and blowing slowly with a spoon.
Su Xue hugged Su Qi's waist pitifully.She, who had never been out of the boudoir, was obviously terrified by today's scene.Su Qi's expression didn't change from the beginning to the end, but seeing this situation, he secretly let out a sigh of relief.
The only thing missing in this room is the "Madam".But none of them cared.It was a long time ago that Su Ning was at odds with "Madam".Su Ning even scolded that "from a humble background" in front of her servants.Although the child's words are unscrupulous, Su Ning just can't understand her being a girl in the house.
But all of this, he only realized when he grew up that Su Zheyu put a woman who was really not worthy of being the wife of the Su family, in fact, just to find a good family background for Su Qi.If he is always a concubine, as his mother, it is really hard not to be talked about.But if he is an upright young master of the Su family, the road to officialdom will naturally be much smoother.
It's just that Su Ning didn't understand at the time, she just thought that this woman beat his mother to death, and never wanted to respect her.Therefore, no one thought it was strange that she did not appear in Su Ning's room.
Watching Su Ning drink the medicine.The servants prepared some light meals.People with fever have no appetite, but the nourishing ginseng soup is indispensable.
Tomorrow, Su Zheyu had to go to court early, so he didn't spend much time with Su Ning.In the end, only Su Qi was left in the room, supervised him to eat most of the meal, and then let him go to sleep with satisfaction.
"Brother, don't leave yet." Seeing that Su Qi was about to go out, Su Ning grabbed the hem of his clothes.
Su Qi turned around suddenly, not knowing why.But looking at Su Ning's appearance, it seemed that he had something very important to say, so he signaled Xiao Qi to step back first.
"Speak." Su Qi's words were always so simple.
Su Ning sorted it out, and then said, "The second prince, can you still go?"
Su Qi was a little puzzled.
The Taisho Dynasty paid great attention to the knowledge and education of the princes, so even the princes of Lifu would regularly check their studies.This kind of thing will continue until the prince and the crown.
Su Qi has been one of the accompanying students of the second prince Chu Xun since he was a child, even now that he is older, he still goes to Prince Jing's mansion from time to time.Prince Jing has always been famous for his studiousness, and his accompanying students are also the children of officials.Therefore, it is natural to have frequent exchanges.
Su Ning had experienced King Jing usurping the throne in the previous life, so although she was ignorant, it was not difficult to think of these things.In the previous life, Su Qi was one of the people implicated by Prince Jing.Died at the time of the palace change.If not, with Su Zheyu's style, it is impossible to have Su Xue brought back to curry favor with Chu Ci.
Most of the families that participated in the second prince's usurpation of the throne were imprisoned, and the Su family was able to survive entirely because of Su Xue, who had never been in the family back then.
Whatever has a cause has an effect, if the cause is pulled out, there will be no more that effect.At this moment, Su Ning's thoughts are so simple.
Su Ning tidied up her disturbed emotions, "Brother, isn't he going to take the next spring exam? Isn't it good to start studying behind closed doors now?"
"Brother is aware of this matter. You have a good rest!" After finishing speaking, he went out.
Su Ning sighed, wondering if this brother could persuade her.
The author has something to say:
☆、〇〇 Chapter Six (Revised)
Su Ning's return undoubtedly caused a stir in the Su residence.
Everyone was very pleased, except for Mrs. Xu.
When Mrs. Xu was a girl in the Su Mansion, she was actually quite well-behaved.She was Su Zheyu's first woman, and she was also the woman who taught the young master the art of the house.Su Zheyu was nostalgic, and did not forget her after getting married, so he took her into a side room.
At first she was grateful to Dade, but later the main wife died of a blood collapse, and Su Zheyu did not continue.Although she does not have the name of a wife in this Su family, she has the reality of a wife.
After suffering like this for several years, Su Qi grew up, and Su Zheyu actually helped him upright.And Su Qi also legitimately became the second prince's accompanying student, which can be regarded as a relationship with the royal family.
This made Xu's heart expand infinitely.
Everything went well, except for that Su Ning.This is the biggest stumbling block for my son.I thought this stumbling block could finally be thrown out, but unexpectedly, after disappearing for half a month, he slipped back by himself.He got Su Zheyu's understanding overnight.Looking at Su Zheyu's expression, one could tell how good he was. This kind of smile had not been seen for many years.
Su Xu was so angry that his teeth were itching, and after serving Su Zheyu to court early in the morning, and taking care of everything about Su Qi, he leisurely came to visit the sick.
Seeing this, he blew up again.
That wayward little Hades was actually lying on the couch, reading a book in his hands.
This definitely stimulated Su Xu's heart greatly.She absolutely can't let this little bastard steal Su Zheyu's favor.
"Yo, is Ning'er feeling better?"
Su Ning slightly moved the book away, and glanced at Su Xushi, neither salty nor bland, without any emotion.
Su Xu walked over with a smile, followed by two little girls, who were no older than Ji.
Su Ning looked over the three of them calmly, and said, "What's the matter?"
Su Xu's smile leaked a hint of sarcasm.
"In a few days, you will be thirteen, and you seem to be able to understand some things."
When Su Ning heard this, her expression turned ugly.Don't blame him for being prejudiced against this woman. This woman really dares to say anything that is not on the stage.
Seeing Su Ning's expression, Su Xu's heart was even more proud, the cold little bully, she really wanted to strip his hair to be reconciled.
"Don't say that I, a mother, didn't take care of you. In fact, Qi'er only reads sage books, and has never had any bad habits in this regard. So..."
Su Ning's complexion really turned cold this time, and she brushed the pages of the book with her fingers, and asked indifferently: "So? How are you doing?"
Su Xu motioned to the two little girls, and the little girls knelt down together.
"Instead of asking you to go to Duanwang's mansion to have fun and submit to others, it's better to be comfortable at home and let the maids serve you..."
"Crack!" A book hit the bull's-eye impartially.Su Xushi's face twitched a few times, she never imagined that Su Ning would dare to hit her in front of the servants.
Throwing away the book, she was about to throw a tantrum, vowing to let everyone in the Su family know how rebellious Su Ning is!
Su Ning sneered and stopped her in advance.
"If you really want the whole Su family to know that you used the maidservant to seduce the master, you might as well shout louder."
Su Xu's face froze, and she didn't remember it.
Su Ning thought to herself: What an idiot!It's really contemptible to only use such indecent methods that harm others and benefit oneself.
"If a mother raises her stepson in this way, I don't think my father will agree with it!"
Su Xushi finally came to her senses, Su Zheyu's mood just got better just now, and Su Ning just pleaded guilty yesterday, her knees were worn down to the bone, so naturally it is impossible to carry two women by her side today.Even if you want to blow the pillow wind, this is not the time.Isn't she pouring dirty water on herself?
Immediately, Su Xu suppressed her anger and squeezed out an embarrassed smile, "I'm just joking with you! I'm afraid you'll recover from illness and bored, so I specially brought two maids here to take care of you."
Su Ning really wanted to scold her. If she had said this earlier, she might have had a chance to fight him for a few rounds. Obviously, now, the scar has been ruptured, and the disgusting pus has flowed all over the ground. Who would pick it up.
"For the sake of big brother, I don't want to haggle with you. This matter will be exposed!"
Su Xu breathed a sigh of relief.She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Su Ning again.After this little overlord came back, there was indeed something different. Although he was still cold, he felt much calmer.
"Aunt Xu, bring your things back! Do you want me to send you off in person!"
This "Auntie" made Xu's fire burst out again.
Su Ning snorted coldly, "You really don't deserve to be called Ma'am based on what you've done!" After that, ignore her.
Su Xu touched the ashes on her nose, feeling so depressed, she went back and beat the little girl to pieces.
But these are not things Su Ning cares about.
The only thing he has to do now is to prevent his elder brother from being implicated in the matter of the second prince, and not to let Su Xue lose her husband and son because of such a mess.
Surprisingly, he was still planning to beat Su Qi so that he couldn't get out of bed, and came to refuse to go to Prince Jing's mansion, but Su Qi had already walked into his study, and said expressionlessly: "Tomorrow, let's go to Prince Jing's mansion together." Go to Shuiyun Pavilion to study."
Su Ning was stunned.
Su Qi glanced at him, "It's time for you to make up your homework. I will find time to make up for you."
After all, without waiting for Su Ning's consent, this Young Master Su has already stepped out of the study.
Shuiyun Pavilion is a water pavilion in Su Mansion.As a Hanlin scholar with great knowledge and knowledge, Su Zheyu's family property is limited, but the reserve of books is quite astonishing.
There are nearly ten large and small study rooms in Su's residence, and Su Zheyu will put a bookshelf wherever he goes.
And this Shuiyun Pavilion is a small library.The two-story building stands in the middle of the lake. The first floor is a collection of classic ancient and modern history, plus a small living room.And upstairs is the most private place that only the Su family can go to.There are couches, chairs and tables near the window.When you are fascinated by reading, you don't need to go downstairs all day.
Su Qi is such a lunatic.Every time Su Ning saw him like this, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.And Su Ning herself couldn't stay for a quarter of an hour.Now, he was able to sit obediently and study the homework that Su Qi assigned him.
The two brothers had never been together so peacefully for such a long time.In the evening, after Su Zheyu finished handling all the affairs, he would also come to Shuiyun Pavilion to check their homework.
Su Qi is already 17 years old, if he can pass the exam in the coming year, he will be regarded as a successor.
"Ning'er's handwriting is still so ugly, what should I do?" Su Zheyu frowned slightly, rubbing his chin, looking thoughtful.
Su Ning obediently knelt down opposite the short couple, looking at her father with a guilty conscience.
Su Qi picked up the pen and moved closer, with a rare smile in his eyes, "Don't worry, Dad deliberately scared you. Your handwriting is very beautiful, and it has grown a lot compared to the last time I saw it."
"Last seen"?Su Ning was a little puzzled. In his impression, he was not familiar with this elder brother enough to allow him to see his handwriting and notes.
Su Zheyu also smiled, "Although it's not bad, it's still far behind Qi'er!" Su Zheyu reached out and squeezed Su Ning's face.
"Father, I am five years younger than my brother!" Su Ning reminded loudly.But he was silently ashamed in his heart, in terms of his previous life, he must have lived five years longer than Su Qi.
After laughing, Su Zheyu took out a small box from his arms, pushed it in front of Su Ning, and motioned him to open it.
Su Ning was a little puzzled, could it be a reward for her prodigal son's return?
I couldn't wait to open it and saw that it turned out to be two jade tube pens.Suitable for both large and small, writing and painting.
"It will be your and Su Xue's birthdays in a few days. This year we will always do it for you." Speaking of this, Su Zheyu couldn't help sighing.
The day the siblings were born coincided with the death of his beloved woman. It has been 13 years, and he deeply remembers this day. He only holds death anniversary, never birthday banquet.Now that the child is grown up, it is time for him to let some things pass.
"That girl..."
"Your mother sees that you are so sensible, and you can rest in peace if you know it!"
The author has something to say:
☆、〇〇 Chapter Seven (Revised)
On the tenth day after Su Ning returned to Su Mansion, someone from Duan Wang Mansion came to the door.
Su Ning was practicing calligraphy at the time, and he hesitated for a while after hearing this.
Su Qi raised his head and said: "After all, he is King Duan, so you can't be too rude!" After that, he put down the book in his hand and accompanied Su Ning to the flower hall to meet the guests.
The person who came was Lu Qing, the most unlucky servant around Duan Wang.With a pale face, he almost knelt down when he saw Su Ning, but when he saw Su Qi behind Su Ning, he became more disciplined.
Su Ning frowned, looked at his distressed look, "What's the matter?"
Lu Qing glanced at Su Qi unconsciously, but the other party didn't intend to leave, so he sorted it out and said, "It's Miss Su's birthday in a few days, Your Highness wants to give Miss Su a gift, but he doesn't want to leave." I know how to choose, so..."
Lu Qing didn't dare to look up, so he could only sneak a glance at the two masters.
Of course Su Ning didn't want to go, but it seemed difficult to refuse.At least their Su family can't afford to offend that master.
Su Qi smiled, "It's just shopping, it won't take much time, I'll ask the teacher for an hour's leave, it should be enough, right?"
The second half of the sentence was naturally for Lu Qing.
Although Lu Qing was embarrassed, it was better than not inviting anyone.If this continues, his head will not be safe, so he immediately nodded vigorously, "Enough! Enough! Your Highness is already in Gu Yuzhai!" Lu Qing silently rubbed the sweat on his forehead.
Hearing about Gu Yuzhai's place, Su Qi felt relieved.
Su Ning then followed Lu Qing out.
In the private room of Gu Yuzhai, Duan Wang picked out all kinds of beautiful jade carvings that the shopkeeper held in front of him.
"...Your Highness, are you not satisfied?" The shopkeeper sweated deeply.For half an hour, this His Highness hardly uttered a complete sentence.Instead, intentionally or unintentionally, he looked at the street scene outside the window.
Uh, in fact, although these jade stones may not be comparable to the tributes from the imperial palace, if they are placed in the homes of dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital, his Gu Yuzhai can be counted among the best.
The shopkeeper stood upright, his waist was already stiff, but he still didn't hear a word of satisfaction from the master.Just when the shopkeeper was about to dig out all the old goods at the bottom of the press box, the corner of Ye's mouth suddenly twitched, and he began to play with the jade in his hand seriously.
After a while, I heard the footsteps of "bao bao", and a voice came in.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang." Su Ning's inconsistency is false, it is the first time he has rejected Duan Wang.This master has been spoiled and pampered since he was a child, and he has never had anything out of his hands.Even if it's a toy, he has good reason to take himself as his own.This has nothing to do with love or hate, it's just a habit of occupying my heart.
Along the way, he did not take Lu Qing's carriage, but swayed slowly.He even hoped that the old man had already left impatiently, which would save him trouble.
Su Ning stood respectfully outside the door for a long while before hearing, "Come in."
Su Ning wiped her forehead, pushed the door open, and the shopkeeper finally let out a sigh of relief, and hurriedly made tea for the young master of the Su family.
Su Ning stood two meters away and didn't move or speak.
Chu Ci glanced at him, suppressed the anger in his heart, and asked dissatisfiedly, "So long?"
Su Ning didn't intend to answer this reprimand.
Chu Ci waited for a long while, but when he didn't hear him say anything, the air-conditioning burst out.
The shopkeeper touched the cold sweat on his forehead, "Your Highness, I'll go to the warehouse and bring you some more." After saying that, he ran away in despair.
Chu Ci glanced at the honestly closed door and was quite satisfied, then pointed to the chair beside him and ordered, "Come and sit!"
This time Su Ning did not refuse, but he chose a chair farther away.
Chu Ci was taken aback, isn't this little bastard the one who likes to sit next to him the most?Sure enough, he was still angry.
"What's wrong? How dare you bet with the Lord for such a long time?" Ten days, since which year, he almost never saw Su Ning for such a long time.
Su Ning raised her head, the other party was only a 15-year-old boy, how could she understand what he was feeling at the moment.He didn't bother to explain, he just said: "What gift does Your Highness want to choose for sister?"
Hearing Su Ning's peaceful words, the dark clouds in Chu Ci's heart dissipated a few, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he assumed a master's arrogant posture, "I called you here, just to ask, what does Su Xue like?"
Chuci once asked him this question, and he told him that since my sister likes jade, it is natural to choose the most beautiful jade.In fact, it is not the case, although Su Xue is young, she has always been aloof, not only does not like gold and silver jewelry, but also disdains princes and grandsons to compare gold and jade to show their status.
As a result, that time, Chu Ci chose the best jade carving, and with the price of his third highness, he overwhelmed all the officials' children, but it touched Su Xue's restricted area.Su Xue was naturally very grateful on the surface, but she began to distance herself from this Chu Ci.
Su Ning once thought that maybe this was the reason why Su Xue didn't like Chuci all the time, even if this person was a royal nobleman, she didn't even look at him.
"What are you planning again?" Chu Ci looked as if he had seen through Su Ning's tricks.Although this little guy is young, his mind is like a hornet's nest.He really can't take it lightly.
Seeing that Su Ning lowered her head and her thick eyelashes trembled, Chu Ci couldn't help reaching out to pick up his chin.
Su Ning dodged his hand reflexively, and even leaned back.
"My sister loves elegance. Your Highness's paintings and calligraphy are praised by all the scholars of the Imperial Academy. Why don't you give me a copy of His Highness's calligraphy?"
This is definitely a heartfelt recommendation.But that His Highness rolled his eyes, "Mobao? That's good! I'll give her a jade carving! It must be the most beautiful and luxurious in the whole capital..."
Su Ning was stunned, and looked at Chu Ci in disbelief.
Chu Ci smiled strangely, and tapped Su Ning's forehead, "You think I don't know that you are narrow-minded, and you are afraid that I will win your sister's favor!"
Su Ning didn't even bother to sigh, what could he say!
Anyway, if my sister doesn't like Chu Ci, maybe he is a better man, so let him go.
After choosing good things, Su Ning followed Chu Ci out of Gu Yuzhai.
"Zuixianglou has a new cook..."
As soon as Chu Ci spoke, Su Ning bowed to him and said, "Your Highness has already picked out the things, and there is still a teacher waiting at the minister's house, so I won't accompany you!"
Chu Ci's face froze, and he was pushed back halfway through what he said, making him feel like a stick in his throat, feeling extremely depressed, and his tone immediately became difficult.
"Which one is your teacher? Could his words be more important than my king's words!"
Duan Wang's little overlord has lost his temper.Lu Qing plucked up his courage, "Master Su asked for an hour's leave for the younger master..." Can he say that?Not to mention, he will definitely be blamed by Mr. Su.If he goes to the Su Mansion again in the future, he will probably sit on the bench, which will make things worse.
As expected, King Duan's murderous eyes glared fiercely at the blind servant.
"Your Highness just wants someone to accompany you for entertainment, but I don't really need a minister. And the minister has delayed his studies for a long time, which is an insult to the Su family. From now on, the minister will thank guests behind closed doors and concentrate on his studies. Hope you Your Highness is perfect!" Su Ning bowed deeply again.
Chu Ci's heart twitched, and he couldn't help sneering: "You mean, I won't see you again in the future? You think too much of your status! Hmph!"
Su Ning could feel the sarcasm in that tone, perhaps, he wished that he would be without this obstacle.If I remember correctly, there are several daughters and sons of concubines staring at this big piece of fat.As soon as Chuci opened the mansion, three wives and four concubines were inevitable, how many people looked eagerly.
Su Ning didn't speak, he had already decided to cut off all ties with Chu Ci.Since this life made him live a new life, he had to live a good life again.See how his life would be without that man.
The two were deadlocked in Gu Yuzhai for a quarter of an hour, and Chu Ci said almost everything that could crush Su Ning into dust, trying to convince him that without him, Prince Duan, he, the Third Young Master Su, was nothing at all.And he, Third Young Master Su, is no different in Duan Wang's heart, so don't say arrogantly in front of him that he has no time to accompany him, but Duan Wang discarded this toy...
Su Ning didn't say a single rebuttal.Only the 12-year-old Su Ning really cares about youthful arrogance, and he has already seen through all of this.
Chu Ci looked at Su Ning, who was standing respectfully in front of him, without much expression, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood.How could he tolerate such an unruly bastard, when he was about to forcibly carry him back to Duanwang's mansion, a hearty voice came over.
"His Royal Highness Duan Wang! Third Young Master Su!" Zhang Ji came at the right time.
Chu Ci was about to pull Su Ning's hand back, suppressed his anger, and looked at this little general who came at an inopportune time.Since Zhang was about the same age as Su Qi, both civil and military, he was highly valued by the emperor, now seventeen, he has received the title of captain of the capital, guarding the capital.Therefore, no matter how powerful the prince's authority is, he will give him some face.
"I'm free today, come to Guyuzhai to pick out two pieces of jade." Zhang said plainly, and there was no abnormality on his face.
"Third Young Master, it will be your birthday in a few days, and you may not have time to go to the Su Mansion for your brother. You can buy whatever you like! It's atonement for your brother."
Since Zhang appeared so well, it was naturally Su Qi's favor.So Su Ning looked at him very reassuringly at this moment, nodded, "Then you are welcome!"
Zhang Ji smiled, seeing the cute appearance of this little guy, he couldn't help being happy for Su Qi.
But His Highness Duan Wang's face turned black.
"Your birthday?"
In these years, he never thought that Su Ning still had a birthday.
Zhang Ji was startled, "Hey... I thought His Highness came to buy a gift for Su Ning..."
Zhang Ji's surprise made Chu Ci suddenly feel ashamed, and the anger in his heart slowly changed.I saw him glaring at Su Ning with an angry face, "Why didn't you tell me your birthday? In front of outsiders, it seems that I have treated you harshly!"
These words clearly exclude Zhang Ji.No matter how thick-skinned Zhang Ji is, it's not good to meddle in their "housework".
Su Ning raised her eyes, looked at this angry young man, bowed slightly, and saluted, "What is your Highness talking about! I dare not expect a gift from Your Highness. Besides, this young minister was born on the same day as my sister, so Your Highness knows It's..." After finishing speaking, he glanced at the wooden box in the boy's hand.
Do you want him to say more?
"Brother Zhang, please go in and sit down for a while, I will come soon."
Zhang Ji nodded and left.
When Su Ning and Chu Ci were left alone, Su Ning solemnly raised her robe and bowed to the ground, "Thank you for your care these years, Your Highness."
At that moment, Chu Ci finally believed that Su Ning was really going to abandon him.His heart was empty, and his mind was bewildered. He didn't know what to say for a moment.
Su Ning got up and patted the dust on her robe, it was finally clean this time.
When he took the first step, Chu Ci suddenly grabbed his hand, with obvious resentment in his eyes.Su Ning was slightly startled, but then could only sigh.
"I have never held any weight in Your Highness's heart. It's better to get rid of this little minister as soon as possible. Your Highness is the beloved King Duan. I wish His Highness a smooth life and a hundred years of peace and prosperity!"
Chu Ci's hand slowly slipped down.

☆、〇〇Eight chapters (edited)
Su Ning entered Gu Yuzhai without hesitation, and chose the gift that really belonged to her.
It was still past time when Su Ning returned to Su Mansion.Cai Xiaoqi had been watching at the door, and as soon as he came back, he sent someone to report to Su Qi.
Su Ning couldn't help laughing, and asked the disciple to report how long it would take to reach Shuiyun Pavilion with him?
Unexpectedly, it would be Su Xue who came out to greet him first.
Su Xue's almond eyes turned into crescent moons, making Su Ning's hair stand on end.
"What, what are you doing?" Isn't she here to arrest her for "stealing" her fiancé?
Su Xue stretched out her hand, "Bring it!"
Su Ning was holding two boxes in her hands, and Su Xue was trying to grab one with all her teeth and claws.
This is the first time for Su Ning to see her lose her ladylike demeanor, and she can't help being a little dazed.
"Which one did my brother buy for me? I want to see it, hurry up!"
Brother?wipe!When did Su Xue and Zhang Ji have such a good relationship?
Su Ning handed her a box with a numb scalp, and reminded her very conscientiously, "It's a jade!" Su Xue almost smashed the jade carving sent by Chu Ci in the last life.Su Ning was ready to take over, he couldn't let Su Xue smash Zhang Ji's things.
Unexpectedly, when this Su Xue opened the wooden box, her eyes lit up, and starlight burst forth from her eyes.
Su Ning's shock can no longer be expressed in words - dare to say, Su Xue doesn't hate these "flashy things"?It all depends on who is giving the gift.
Su Ning silently wiped off her sweat, and asked tentatively, "Sister likes...Brother Zhang?"
"Of course I like it!" Su Ning said almost reflexively, but after realizing the "Brother Zhang" added after Su Ning, her face blushed instantly, "I'm talking about jade from my brother."
Su Ning really wanted to hit the wall, it turned out that he had never understood the true intentions of this sister.So what happened to the poor scholar who eloped with her in the end?
Su Ning couldn't understand, seeing Su Xue's smile from ear to ear, he went back to Shuiyun Pavilion disgruntled.
Seeing him coming back, Su Qi looked disappointed, and couldn't help but reached out and rubbed his head, subconsciously comforting the child who had cut off his love.
"Do you still like what Zhang Ji gave you?"
Su Qi raised his head suddenly, and only then did he notice Su Qi's actions. They had never had such close physical contact. At that moment, he felt a little awkward, but at the same time he felt a little bit reluctant.Su Qi also seemed to be aware of this problem, his hands froze for a moment, as if he was going to retract them, and finally he frowned and rubbed them heavily again.
Su Ning also laughed, and rubbed against Su Qi's palm flatteringly.
"Hmm! I like it! Brother Zhang asked Brother Zhang to go!"
Su Qi didn't hide it either, "That guy is training cavalry today, I'm afraid he'll be late!" Speaking of this, he felt sore, a big brother who can't even protect his own younger brother is really useless.That's why he worked so hard under the second prince.
The second prince has also grown up, and his ambition is gradually revealed, Su Qi also knows that he should leave as soon as possible.He just took advantage of the spring exam and took advantage of the emperor's routine inspection of the second prince's homework, so he asked for his resignation.
The emperor liked the talents of the Su family's father and son, so naturally he was unwilling to let such a good seedling stay here, so he wished that he could serve the country as soon as possible.
Furthermore, the emperor also intends to dismiss the so-called "accompanying" courtiers around the second prince.Everyone is so big, and it is inevitable to start a family and start a business. He absolutely cannot tolerate using this to form cliques and add soil to partisan disputes.
Su Qi guessed the intentions of many parties, and broke away from the second prince's imprisonment in one fell swoop.
If he can pass the high school examination next spring, perhaps, he will be an official of the imperial court, and he will naturally be more capable of protecting his family.
September 13th is the [-]th birthday of Su Ning and Su Xue.Early in the morning, the Su family paid homage to Mrs. Su, Qi Ningxue, in the ancestral hall. Su Zheyu turned his head to look at the two sons and a daughter. The boy was majestic and graceful, and the girl was soft and graceful, and his heart was infinitely comforted.
"Xue'er, Ning'er, you stay here to chat with your mother!" After saying that, Su Zheyu led the others away.
Su Xue and Su Ning knelt on the futon, looking like a golden boy and a jade girl.
"Brother, tell me, if I die, will I be able to see my mother?" Su Xue looked at the tablet in a daze.
They had never met their mother, and Aunt Xu would only be superficial in front of her father, and she had no affection for them in private.Su Ning was very resentful. Although Su Xue had never talked back to Aunt Xu, she probably longed for the maternal love that she had never enjoyed in her heart.
"Probably can..." Su Ning also looked at the tablet.Before committing suicide in the previous life, 20 years passed by in a flash, but there were many gaps in the period. Now that I think about it, it should be this shortcoming that even death can't make up for.
The two knelt in front of Qi Ningxue's memorial tablet for about a quarter of an hour.Su Ning's legs were a little numb, so she shook her clothes and got up, and went to help Su Xue.Su Xue stretched out her hand, just as her knee left the futon, it suddenly fell down again.
Su Ning was stunned, and looked down at Su Xue without knowing why.
A look of panic flashed across Su Xue's face.She didn't raise her head, she just said: "I'll accompany my mother for a while! There are guests coming today, you go to receive them!"
Su Ning didn't doubt that there was him, but just assumed that Su Ning also had numb legs, so she withdrew from the ancestral hall.
As soon as Su Ning left, cold sweat broke out on Su Xue's face, her body was limp on the futon, she seemed to be kowtowing from behind, but in fact, her nails were already pale.
"What? Can't hold it anymore?"
A voice sounded from the soul, without any emotion, but there was a faint trace of worry in the words.
Su Xue took a few deep breaths, and slowly opened her mouth, "Su Ruo, if I die, can you help me take care of my brother?" This is the only person she can't let go of.And this voice has been with her for 13 years, hidden in her body.It was as if her soul split into two extremes.One weak, one hard; one gentle, one indifferent.
Without Su Ruo's presence, Su Xue might not be able to survive long ago.
Su Ruoleng snorted, "I don't understand, he doesn't regard you as his sister! Could it be that you can't see that?"
"That was before, he was obsessed with Duan Wang! Now, he is still my good brother!"
Weak people are often also blindly kind.There was a hint of helplessness in Su Ruo's voice, "Give me your body! You can't even walk like this!"
Su Xue, who was lying on the ground, suddenly stood up and left the ancestral hall in good spirits.
……
A gentleman is good at the six arts.Naturally, Su Zheyu would not let go of any opportunity to make Su Ning a talent.As soon as Su Ning's birthday passed, he filled him with homework.From Chen time to You time every day, there is almost no free time.
Although he didn't have all the teachers in Shinan's study to accompany him, what was rare was that Su Ning worked hard, and the results came up, making Su Zheyu happy.
Su Ning's riding, shooting, boxing and kicking skills are almost all entrusted to Zhang Ji. If Zhang Ji is not free, he will appoint his own men to come to Su's residence.The one who was most satisfied with this was naturally Su Xue. Every time Zhang Ji came, she would very obediently hold the stool and the pastry box, and ran up to "show courteousness" while taking advantage of the gap.Su Ruo couldn't help laughing at her, "Aren't you going to show your heart? What's the use of looking at it like this?"
Su Xue smiled very calmly: "If I leave, wouldn't it be cheaper for you!" Anyway, looking at Zhang Ji, Su Xue looked happy.Su Ruo despises this very much!
Zhang didn't get used to the feelings of this girl at first, but later on he was able to treat Su Xue like Su Ning.
The older these two little guys, the bigger the difference in appearance.Su Xue still had big, watery eyes, glistening with autumn water.But Su Ning's eyes gradually became slender, and her stature also twitched, as if she had been raised too well in the past few months.
"In a few days, there will be an inspection in the military, does Xiao Ning want to go and have a look?"
Su Ning's eyes lit up, "Iron Cavalry Camp?"
Zhang Ji smiled mysteriously, "It's a competition between the Iron Cavalry Battalion and the Habayashi Guards. Once every six months."
Su Ning hurriedly grabbed Zhang Ji to go.The man in the barracks was full of pride, and Su Ning yearned for it the most.
Su Ning was not born crooked. When he finally summed up his life, he felt that he was broken into a crooked tree by Chu Ci.Now that there is no Chu Ci, he feels that he will definitely grow into a straight towering tree.
After being reborn, he even thought about whether he wanted to join the army!But Zhang Ji poured cold water on him very responsibly, "You have a small body, you need to practice! Otherwise, you won't even be a soldier guarding the camp gate."
Su Ning really went to practice.But when he saw that he was injured all over his body, Su Qi was the first to get upset, and almost fell out with Zhang Ji.
Zhang Ji was surprised, "Aren't you like this before? Isn't it normal for a man to be a little hurt?"
Su Qi just rolled his eyes, the usual image of Young Master Su was gone.
But Su Ning still practiced every day. In case of another war, even if he couldn't protect others, he couldn't burden others either!
When Zhang saw his small appearance, he
