Who Cares

Chapter 5: Old friend

After successfully persuading her mother not to rush to see others for herself, Guan Suyi really spent a few days leisurely. On this day, she was sitting in the warm pavilion practicing calligraphy. Maid Minglan walked in with a cotton cloak in her hand, "Miss, the carriage is ready and ready to go. Madam is waiting for you in the lobby."

Because Emperor Sheng Yuan particularly respected Confucianism, he built a Confucian Temple in Minde Mountain in the southern suburbs, and the people who went to worship Confucianism these days were endless. As the masters of the Confucian school, of course, Mr. Guan and Father Guan could not be left behind. They had ordered Zhong to cook the lamb for the sacrifice. The two showed their sincerity. Yin always carried the lantern and went out, preparing to climb the mountain step by step, leaving the mother and daughter behind to ride in the carriage.

Guan Suyi put on the big cloak and walked into the blooming snowflakes. Although his feet were relieved, his thoughts kept surging. But with a small change, everything seems to be different. On that day, his grandfather was not so angry that he was sick in bed, nor was he ridiculed or ridiculed because of his lack of speech, or even ruined. Now he is still a leader of the Confucian school, and he is also an admired contemporary writer. My father didn't have to wait by the bedside every day, and eventually got the nickname "Turtle with head shrunk", and since then he has no place to show himself.

Now they make friends with literature and make good connections, so they can live a stable life without being an official.

Thinking of the grandfather of the previous life holding the sick body to come to Zhenbei Hou Mansion to seek justice for him, he was alive and fainted; remembering that his parents were resolutely unwilling to believe in the slander of the Zhao family, they were so desperate that they wanted to make peace with them. The clan was removed; Guan Suyi's eyes were full of tears when he remembered that his grandparents had come to the other hospital to pick him up and returned to his hometown with abuse.

In this life, the humiliation and torture that she shouldn't have to bear has probably gone away. Thinking of this, she quickly blinked away the tears in her eyes and walked towards the smiling Zhong who was standing under the porch.

The mother and daughter got on the wupeng carriage and drove slowly towards Min De Mountain. Although the heavy snow is still falling, due to Emperor Sheng Yuan’s several homages to Confucius, the road has long been flattened by the passing iron riders. There are also labors to clean it every two hours, so it is not difficult to walk. At the foot of the mountain, the carriage slowly stopped by the side of the road, and there seemed to be a little girl crying outside.

"What's the matter?" Zhong asked through the bamboo curtain.

"Madam, I don't know whose carriage broke down. Now it's stuck in the middle of the road. The lady of that family is crying with cold. It's pitiful." The driver said with pity.

When Zhong opened the bamboo curtain for a moment, he saw a well-used Upeng carriage parked in front of him. The host was afraid to get out of the car for fear of freezing, but the cries of grievances came from time to time, which was indeed worrying.

Zhong clan was infected by his father and husband, and always used the words "Don’t do evil for small things, don’t do good things without doing things", and then said, "Li Wen, go and help them see how the carriage can be Will it be repaired? Tao Hong, go and greet you. If there are all female relatives in the car, please invite them to share the ride."

At this time, men and women's defenses were not as strict as later generations. It is not uncommon for men and women to share a carriage. That's why Zhong clan asked this question. Guan Suyi knocked his chin on his mother's shoulder and looked along the gap between the bamboo curtains. He couldn't help but frown. He always felt that the coachman seemed to have seen him somewhere, and he was really familiar with it.

Tao Hong, Zhong's maid, ran over, said a few more words, and then a luxuriously dressed middle-aged woman came down with a twelve or three-year-old girl. The little girl has bright eyes and white teeth, pink face and cheeks, two strings of teardrops hanging from the corners of her reddish eyes.

The Zhong clan felt his love at a glance, and hurriedly lifted the curtain of the car to call out, "Look at how this little face is frozen, come up and warm it up!" He never noticed his daughter's pale complexion instantly.

It is strange that the coachman is so familiar, but he turns out to be an old friend. It was only half a breath, Guan Suyi had already gotten away from the abnormality, and calmly watched the two people staggering.

The middle-aged woman and the little girl climbed into the carriage supported by the pink ground, first worshipped Xie Zhongshi, and then looked at Guan Suyi, both eyes radiating amazing light. They are all related to the Zhenbei Hou Mansion, which Guan Suyi avoids. One is Ye Zhen's mother, Liu, and the other is her daughter, Zhao Chunxi.

Even if she has passed Guan Suyi's secret observation many times, at close range, Liu's is still captured by her dignified, restrained but refined appearance. If a big man comes in, I am afraid that she will lose her soul at this moment. His Majesty lifted Guan's family so hard to build momentum for her entering the palace. Such a stunner, really can't let her in, otherwise her daughter will have no place to stand.

Thinking of this, Liu's and Zhao Chunxi exchanged glances secretly, and then pretended to be grateful and approached the Zhong's.

Guan Suyi had looked down on everything in her previous life, so she will naturally not be disturbed by old people and things in her life. She stretched out her hand, poured two cups of hot tea slowly, and whispered softly, "Two please." All of them came up, and she would not push people down for no reason.

The girl wore the most pure and pure blue dress. The wide sleeves were slightly raised to reveal half of the slender, snow-white wrists. There were no gold, silver and jade ornaments on them, but they were gorgeous enough. This gorgeousness was penetrated by flesh and blood, like Tao Yao. Xingfang, shocking, no wonder the world says "beauties are in the bones but not in the skin", but this is the truth. And her clear and mellow voice inherently contains a hint of tenderness and honey. It's fine when she speaks normally. If she deliberately lowers her softness as she does now, it will be hard for women like Liu and Zhao Chunxi to resist. The two touched the numb auricles, and then raised their tea cups to thank them, and a sharp glow appeared in their eyes as they sipped.

Guan Suyi had already noticed abnormalities in their speech and behavior, and could not help but secretly speculate about their intentions. With the power of the Zhenbeihou Mansion, how could the concubines ride in the wupeng carriage exclusively for the common people? She remembered that Zhao Chunxi had a carriage decorated with gold powder and vermilion lacquer, which was especially public when he passed the market. As it is now, he only said that his surname was Zhao and never mentioned the word "Zhenbeihou", which seemed to have deliberately hidden his identity. What does she want to do?

Guan Suyi felt naive while dealing with Zhao Chunxi, but if he was inquiring about the truth, he arrived at the Confucian Temple without realizing it. A man with a long stature and noble temperament has received a letter from his servant, standing by the door with an umbrella waiting, his face full of concern. Seeing the carriage slowly stopped, he stepped forward to help his daughter and mother-in-law, and finally thanked Zhong through the curtain of the car.

Seeing the handsome and innocent face of the man, Zhong's feelings were overwhelmed, and he even said that it was not worth it, and it went so far as to say. Guan Suyi had already put on the power fence, followed his mother to get out of the car leisurely, and then nodded at the man slightly. The moment she met Zhao Chunxi, she knew that Zhao Luli must be in the Confucian Temple. The children of Zhao Wangshu and Zhao Chunxi are the lifeblood of Zhao Luli, and they will feel distressed for a long time if they lose a bit of hair. How can they let them go out alone. Her marriage with this person has never been foreshadowed by deep feelings. Even if the heart moved, it was only a moment, and then it was obliterated by various misunderstandings and humiliations.

Goodbye in this life, Guan Suyi has no love or hatred for him, so she can face it calmly. However, the enthusiastic Zhong clan started talking with Zhao Luli, and thus learned of his prominent status as Zhenbeihou.

"The local women have seen Lord Hou, it is nothing more than a matter of hand, Lord Hou does not have to worry about him, the worship ceremony is about to begin, and the women of the people are one step ahead." Zhong's enthusiasm immediately faded, and he bowed his knees and wanted to leave. Guan Suyi didn't speak from beginning to end, and she couldn't see her expression clearly through Mili, but from her frequent movements to the front door, she could see her eagerness to leave.

The unusual reaction of the two surprised Liu and Zhao Chunxi. They thought that after seeing Zhao Luli, the Guan family's mother and daughter would surely entangle them to the ground, but they were so disgusted. You must know that Zhao Luli is not only a high-ranking man, but also a well-known beautiful man. Even if he continues, there are many women in the prime of life who are willing to start, and even the noble ladies of the clan flock to him. Why are the mother and daughter of the Guan family indifferent?

Zhao Chunxi, who was originally worried that Guan Suyi's marriage into the Zhenbeihou Mansion would harm her own interests, has now changed from hesitation to annoyance. After the two walked away, she took her father's arm and praised Guan Suyi very much. Liu also beat the drum, and bluntly said that her granddaughter was getting older and that she should find a mistress to marry her so that she would not be looked down upon. But the grandson was still young and needed the care of her mother.

Zhao Luli regarded his children as life, lest they be wronged the slightest, thinking about their daughter's marriage, and remembering the son who was always clamoring for his mother, he was finally moved.

----

He presided over the ceremony to worship Confucius throughout the whole process. Mr. Guan’s reputation among scholars has reached the limit. After returning home from the mountain, guests come to visit every day, and there is an endless stream of horse-drawn carriages. Since the "coincident encounter" between Liu and Zhao Chunxi, Guan Suyi has a vague premonition. She is somewhat resistant to the marriage, but is uncharacteristically positive.

However, the candidate has not yet been selected, and the matchmaker sent by the Zhenbei Houfu has already come with a generous gift, and even the Liu family has come several times to intercede for the former son-in-law. Fortunately, the Guan family was not the one who tended to follow the flames, and categorically rejected it on the grounds of "improper households." The matchmaker and Liu tried their best to persuade them to no avail, so they had to turn around angrily and let Guan Suyi let go.

But the matter was not over yet, the news of the rejection of the marriage caused Zhao Chunxi to cry in sorrow, and immediately led his younger brother to kneel in front of his father's study and refused to get up. She looked for Guan Suyi, and refused to listen to anyone's advice, and Zhao Wangshu desperately wanted a gentle and kind mother under her instigation.

Zhao Luli couldn't figure out what magic power Guan Suyi had, so that her daughter could not forget her. Even though he was rejected, he would not force it, but he could not hold back the ardent and sad disappointed eyes of a pair of sons and daughters. Even his mother-in-law Liu also praised Guan Suyi, saying that it would be better to give her two grandsons to her than to anyone else. rest assured.

Zhao Luli was ashamed of the "deceased wife" and was about to send someone a letter to ask her for her opinions. After going back and forth, Zhao Luli finally made up his mind and went to the palace to ask for an order. And because of all kinds of unspeakable entanglements, although he was in a high position after the founding of the country, he had no real power and rarely visited the affairs of the court. Therefore, he did not know that Guan Suyi had been appointed by the Emperor Shengyuan and would enter the palace soon. For the concubine.
