Chapter 36 It's a pity that you're married. Otherwise, I could repay you for saving my lif
They didn't know if Murong Feiyue was born with bad luck, they only knew that their husband had always respected this eldest sister-in-law. Even the second wife had to step back a mile, and they, the concubines, were not even worthy of carrying her shoes.
In the past, Murong Feiyue often gave them some small gifts or talked to them while they complained.
Now it seems that the misfortune in life comes from this woman.
Humph……
I was blind before.
It was not until the next day that Zhou Chengru was carried back.
He had a gloomy face and was very angry.
Su Rutang was called over.
Zhou Chengru complained to Su Rutang: "That Shang Yan is nothing but a dog of your majesty. The Jinyiwei who only do bad things don't even take our Ministry of Works seriously."
Su Rutang has been influenced by this since he was a child and knows the ins and outs of it very well.
"What does my husband want me to go home for?"
Zhou Chengru's chest heaved. He hated Su Rutang's quiet and indifferent look the most.
He was like begging.
Back then, Su Buli relied on Su Shizhong to snatch his top scholar status. It was the Su family that owed him that.
The third place in the imperial examination is not as good as the first place in the imperial examination.
But Su Rutang's cold face makes the Su family seem superior.
"Shang Yan asked me to discuss the issue of the capital's canals. The emperor ordered me to be caned ten times and I couldn't even get out of bed."
Su Rutang was puzzled:
"Would you like my grandfather to go or my brother to go?"
Thinking of Mr. Su’s preaching face, Zhou Chengru felt heavy in his heart.
After thinking for a few breaths, he said:
"How about you go for me?"
Su Rutang pointed at herself and asked in surprise, "You want me, a woman, to mediate with the murderous Jinyiwei commander?"
"Why is it mediation? It's clearly to discuss the flood."
Su Rutang spoke slowly and calmly.
"As what should I go there?"
"Just say that I wrote a plan and gave it to you, asking you to go on the trip for me. If there is anything I don't understand, I can ask you." Zhou Chengru was afraid that he would be held responsible, so he took this opportunity to pretend to be sick.
The emperor will never let the Minister of Works take responsibility.
The Minister of Works has a strong backer, and he is the only one from a poor family who is bullied.
"Aren't you afraid that others will say you're putting me in the spotlight?"
Zhou Chengru was speechless for a moment, but then he angrily said, "This is not okay, and that is not okay. Are you going to watch me being deliberately tortured by that treacherous Shang Yan?"
Then can she be tortured?
Su Rutang wanted to ask, but didn't want to hear a disgusting answer.
"I go."
Su Rutang stood up. She went to find Shang Yan not because of Zhou Chengru.
Just because of the people in the capital.
Zhou Chengru breathed a sigh of relief, "Rutang. You are a woman, so it's okay for you to bow your head and flatter him. I am a scholar and cannot let my integrity be humiliated."
Su Rutang felt inexplicably nauseous when she heard his high-sounding hypocritical words.
Cold color road:
"I know. I'll go back and change my clothes before going over."
"Be sure to dress elegantly." Zhou Chengru said loudly. Seeing Su Rutang turning around and staring at him thoughtfully, he quickly gave a wry smile.
"I'm afraid that you'll lose face for the Zhou family if you dress too plainly."
“Does the Zhou family have face?”
Finished speaking.
Su Rutang stopped looking at him and walked out.
Zhou Chengru's face was dark, and he pounded his fist on the bed. There was poison in his eyes, "You are all plotting against me. When I get to that position, I will make you crawl under my feet, unable to live or die."
Zhou Wenyi came in from the door.
His eyes were dim, "Father. Mother and mother had an argument."
Zhou Chengru gave him a sinister look, "It's your aunt. Be careful, there may be ears on the other side of the wall."
Zhou Wenyi nodded.
He told Zhou Chengru what he had found out. He was worried about his mother. He complained to Su Rutang, "Aunt also loves my father."
"Your mother is a bit vicious."
*
Su Rutang returned to Chuitang Courtyard and recalled Shangyan's cold eyes that day.
There is still a lingering sense of familiarity in my heart.
She also wanted to thank him for saving her life.
Ming Chunxi ordered some snacks made by the small kitchen, one of which was lotus pastry made by Su Rutang himself.
Taohua especially likes to eat it. Since she found Taohua, she started making lotus cakes.
She changed into a plain soft satin dress with a high collar and wide sleeves, and a horse-faced skirt of the same color. There were only two white magnolia hairpins and two crabapple flowers on her head.
Simple, pure and beautiful.
Chunxi was worried, "Second Madam, are you really going to the Imperial Guard?"
"Ah."
"I heard that he lost half his life after joining the Royal Guards."
Su Rutang smiled lightly: "I am different. It was Commander Shang who saved me yesterday."
Chunxi: “…”
Taohua took out the small purse she had embroidered and stared at Su Rutang with sparkling eyes. She pointed to the place outside.
Su Rutang took it and looked at it. There was an indecipherable pattern embroidered on the purse.
The pins vary in size.
shape?
It’s not clear at the moment.
"Give it to Commander Shang?"
Taohua nodded, she was grateful to the other party for saving Su Rutang.
The best thing I can think of is this ugly purse I made myself.
"it is good."
Su Rutang treated it like a treasure and put it in his sleeve.
"Mother will definitely give it to him, and Commander Shang will also thank Taohua."
Taohua smiled silently.
Su Rutang went to the Jinyiwei with an uneasy heart.
Arrived at the door.
She got out of the carriage.
There were people coming in and out of the Jinyiwei gate. Someone saw a woman coming and said coldly:
"who?"
"I am from Minister Su's residence. I have come to ask to see Commander Shang." Su Rutang introduced himself without waiting for Chunxi to speak.
"Wait."
He originally wanted to drive Su Rutang away, but he heard that Minister Su was still going in to pass on a message.
After a while, Su Rutang was allowed in.
When he arrived at the door of the meeting room, he stopped Chunxi and Xia An.
"Only Madam Zhou can go in."
Su Rutang didn't expect that the other party would know him just by going in.
"Thank you."
Su Rutang took the small basket and carried it into the meeting room.
In the meeting hall.
In addition to Shang Yan, there were also the commander-in-chief, the pacification envoy and others discussing the matter.
See Su Rutang come in.
They all looked curious.
Shang Yan only raised her eyes calmly, "Mrs. Zhou came to Jinyiwei just to deliver snacks?"
Su Rutang bowed slightly.
"Thank you for saving me, sir."
Shang Yan smiled coldly, "It's a pity that you're married. Otherwise, I would repay you with my body for saving my life."
Su Rutang's face turned cold and he picked up the basket and was about to leave.
Cold color of sorrow:
"stop."
Su Rutang stopped without looking back, "I thought Commander Shang was different from others, but I didn't expect him to be such a vulgar person."
There was a cold and frosty look on Shang Yan's face.
"Different from others? Are you saying that I am the most ruthless and cruel, and unparalleled in my brutality?"
The pacification envoy Huo Mi chuckled, "Aren't you talking about our Jinyiwei?"
Yao Tongzhi gave a look and everyone stopped laughing.
Su Rutang turned and walked towards Shang Yan.
She took out the purse embroidered with peach blossoms and said, "This is the purse embroidered by my daughter. Thank you for saving me."
Shang Yan's eyes fell on the ugly purse.
The voice was still cold and cruel.
"Minister Zhou's concubine?"
"Not her. My own daughter, no family tree from last week."
"She asked you to give it to me?"
"Yeah." Su Rutang really wanted to take it back, but she had promised Taohua and wanted to do it.
Anyway, Shang Yan won’t accept it.
It would be great if she could keep it for her own use.
Shang Yan stretched out his right hand and took a look at it, with a hint of meaning on the corner of his mouth. "Thank you very much, little girl. For the sake of the little girl's gift, you can sit down."
Su Rutang: “…”
"That coward Zhou Chengru doesn't dare to come, leaving you, a woman, to show up in public." Shang Yan's eyes were full of disgust.
Su Rutang felt inexplicably uncomfortable.
"It was my wife who wanted to come."
"Then you're really asking for trouble." Shang Yan didn't stop criticizing Su Rutang as soon as he opened his mouth.
When everyone heard this, they thought the commander talked a lot today.
Su Rutang said no more. He couldn't possibly have an argument with his benefactor when they met for the second time.
"What did you say about the flood?"
Shang Yan rubbed the peach blossom embroidered purse with his fingertips and glanced at it sideways.
Huo Mi took over the conversation, "Many houses in the capital were flooded, and many houses blocked the drainage. The water level of the inner river rose, and it couldn't be drained into the moat at all."
Just a few short words made Su Rutang understand the crux of the problem.
"The people want stability, so why not give each household a few taels of silver as compensation? With both kindness and force, I believe the people will be willing to cooperate with the Jinyiwei to dredge the ditches."
Yao Tongzhi glanced at her and said, "Mrs. Zhou, that's a good idea."
