169: It’s over, Su Jingmo Has Gone Crazy!

, update the latest chapters as soon as possible!

Because of the heavy snowfall, Su Xinyi and his party, as well as people from the Changnan Hou Mansion, stayed overnight at Daling Temple, so they all had dinner together in the evening.

Su Xinyi looked at the attitude of Mrs. Changnanhou, and then looked at Su Jingmo who seemed to be satisfied with Dong Zhiwei. The two families had dinner together in the evening. Although Dong Zhiwei was the prince, he took good care of everyone. Su Xinyi felt that such a person was also very considerate. It's hard to be unsatisfactory. As an object of admiration, it's only nine points if not ten points.

Su Jingmo and Su Xinyi slept in the same room at night. After washing, they sat together and talked.

Su Xinyi listened to Su Jingmo and said: "Xiao Liu, do you think it's strange or not? I found him very pleasing to the eye the first time I saw him. I originally wanted to find fault with him, but in the end I found him pleasing to the eye."

Su Xinyi:......

Because you were husband and wife in your previous life. This is fate for many lifetimes.

"What do you mean by liking?"

"Hey, I feel like it's hard for me to lose my temper with him. He has such a good temper and always smiles at me. How can he be angry?"

Su Xinyi didn't know what it felt like to like someone, but she knew what it felt like to want to kill someone.

Just because her fourth sister doesn’t dare to know, hum!

Su Jingmo rolled on the bed with the quilt in her arms. Su Xinyi was startled by the look of joy on her face. Is she so happy if she likes someone?

Su Jingmo sighed softly, "Xiao Liu, I tell you secretly, don't let my mother know. I finally understand why my father is so good to Aunt Weng. If I think about it differently, if I were my father , If Dong Zhiwei were Aunt Weng, then I would also want to be nice to him, it’s all in my heart.”

Su Xinyi:......

It's over, Su Jingmo is crazy!

"If Third Auntie finds out, prepare to beat you out with a stick, this evil girl." Su Xinyi said.

"So I said you must not let my mother know, and don't accuse me." Su Jingmo said and felt happy again, "They say you are as gentle as water, but I don't know what it is. I just know it." When I lose my temper, it’s a storm, but I think I understand it today.”

When Dong Zhiwei looked at her and smiled, she suddenly thought of these words. They were so appropriate.

Su Xinyi: Okay, I got it, stop showing off!

When Su Xinyi got up the next day, she didn't see Su Jingmo, so she looked at Forsythia and asked, "Where is the fourth sister?"

Forsythia came in with a water basin and said with a smile: "Early in the morning, the prince came to invite the four girls to enjoy the snow."

Su Xinyi:......

All right.

When Su Xinyi was doing her makeup in front of the mirror, she looked at the dark circles under her eyes and thought about Su Jingmo, who had never been able to get up early. He showed off to her all night last night, but he was still able to get up and follow her the next morning. People go to enjoy the snow...

Could it be that liking someone has such great power and causing such a big change in another person?

Su Xinyi didn't quite understand. After she washed up, she went to find her aunt and the others. When she saw her, her eldest aunt smiled and waved, "Xinyi, come sit here and have breakfast together later."

Su Xinyi nodded, "Auntie, you slept well last night. Although the mountain temple is clean, it is not as good as home."

The eldest lady heard Su Xinyi's concern and said: "It doesn't matter if it's just one night. The snow will stop this morning. Let's go down the mountain and go home after lunch."

Su Xinyi nodded to show that he understood. As he was talking, the third lady and Mrs. Xiang also arrived. Su Xinyi hurriedly stood up to greet them.

Mrs. Xiang grabbed Su Xinyi, held her hand and said with a smile: "They are all from her family. The more I see the sixth girl, the more I like her. I wish I could take her home."

Su Xinyi did not understand the meaning of these words, but the eldest lady did. Mrs. Xiang was interested in Xinyi and wanted to take her back to be her daughter-in-law. This was not something she could decide. She pretended not to hear it and laughed. Then he said: "The weather has cleared up today and everyone's heart has brightened up. Let's go for a walk after dinner."

Mrs. Xiang made it clear to her sister-in-law last night that Su Xinyi was on the list to run for the crown princess. However, Mrs. Xiang was not worried at all. The position of the crown princess was not suitable for the sixth girl, because the sixth girl grew up in the countryside. A little, I'm afraid the people in the palace won't nod.

She waited for the sixth girl to lose the election, then she could go to her sister-in-law's house to play drums. If the Duke's Mansion was interested, everyone could see each other.

What's wrong with the girl who grew up in the country? Yesterday, she had been observing the sixth girl. This child really didn't look like she grew up in the country. Her demeanor seemed to be the same as that of a lady who had been carefully taught in Beijing since she was a child.

I have to say that there is a saying that goes well, a dragon begets a dragon, a phoenix begets a phoenix, a mouse's son can dig holes, and the children of people like Mr. Su are no different.

Since Mrs. Xiang had this intention, her attitude towards Su Xinyi became even more cordial. She really looked at what was best.

When the girls outside were preparing to prepare the meal, Dong Zhiwei sent Su Jingmo back and came in to say hello to the elders before returning to his house next door. Before leaving, he said that he would show the way to the temple for the elders after breakfast. Check out the scenery.

The third lady couldn't close her mouth. She had to be strong all her life. Because of Aunt Weng, she always felt inferior to others, but now this future son-in-law can make her look good.

Su Jingmo sat down next to Su Xinyi, and the family gathered around to eat. Su Xinyi did not let the girl wait on her, but got up and served the elders with food and dishes. Su Jingmo also helped as soon as he saw it.

Mrs. Xiang was very happy when she saw her. This child was really considerate and considerate. If she really became her daughter-in-law, she would have no problem supporting the family.

Although the Xiang family is not a noble family, it is still a scholarly family. Her husband is a minister of Dali Temple, and the eldest son has already won the imperial examination. At his age, he can be said to be young and promising.

The sixth girl was made the head of Yong'an County by His Majesty. It seems that his son is a bit high-spirited, but really speaking, although the sixth girl is listed in the name of the fourth lady, she is indeed a concubine. However, she does not care about this and just looks at the child. very nice.

"Madam, the kitchen is here to bring extra food." Mother Sun next to the eldest lady raised the curtain and came in to reply.

"Additional food?" The eldest lady was a little surprised. They didn't ask for more food. "What's going on?"

Mother Sun immediately said: "It was sent from His Highness the Prince."

The whole table was stunned. They knew about the meeting between His Highness the Crown Prince and Xin Yi yesterday. Because Xin Yi and His Highness the Crown Prince had frequent contacts due to official business, everyone didn’t think much about it. Even after Xin Yi came back, they didn’t ask much, and the Crown Prince His Highness is a person in the clouds. This time, there was no man from the family accompanying him, so he did not go to visit.

Who would have thought that His Highness the Prince would give them extra dishes for breakfast.

The eldest lady came to her senses first, looked at Mother Sun and asked, "Who sent it?"

"It's the little novice from the kitchen." Mother Sun said immediately.

The eldest lady breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was not the person next to His Royal Highness, so she hurriedly said: "Please come in quickly."

The little novice monk carried a three-layered food box, bowed to everyone when he came in, and then said: "Excuse me, female benefactors, the kitchen has prepared a few more vegetarian dishes this morning. Your Highness, the prince, has eaten well, so let me I gave a box to all the guests in the temple.”

It turned out that it was not their family. The eldest lady and others were relieved, smiled and thanked them, and the young novice put down the food box and left.

Su Xinyi stretched out her hand to open the food box. There were three layers in total, with one dish on each layer. She took it out and put it on the table. Seeing that it was indeed a fresh dish, she heard Mrs. Xiang say: "This is Luohan Zhai, this dish temple." It’s a rare dish to make here. It looks simple, but there are more than a dozen kinds of side dishes, especially in this winter. ”

The eldest lady took a look at it and said with a smile: "It is indeed Daling Temple's signature dish. This dish is mostly made in summer."

Su Xinyi saw Luohanzhai for the first time. Hearing what everyone said, he looked at the plate and counted more than a dozen kinds of side dishes, such as mountain mushrooms and the like. These things are eaten by the Daling Temple. It’s easy to get in the mountains, but cucumber shreds, day lilies, and even two fresh vegetables are hard to come by.

In winter, it is not easy for the Duke of Guo to eat fresh vegetables. This is because there is a greenhouse on the farm to provide it. This dish is indeed an expensive dish for breakfast here in Daling Temple.

Su Jingmo secretly poked Su Xinyi and said in a low voice: "Xiao Liu, His Royal Highness is so kind. It's worth your praise every time. Luohan Zhai is indeed delicious. I'll stay here for a few more days in the summer." , eat every day.”

Su Xinyi:......

Just know how to eat.

However, the fourth sister was right, it was delicious.

Because of the extra dishes, the eldest lady and the others couldn't help but mention the prince. When talking about His Highness, they would talk about the recent lively selection of the prince concubine.

The third lady said: "The Crown Princess looks at the scenery, but this seat is not easy to sit in. The one in the palace has his own son, and he encourages his own son and the Crown Prince to fight for this and that. Anyone who is stupid would do this. The location, I don’t know if I can wait until the day of glory.”

"Third brother and sister, be careful what you say." The eldest lady hurriedly sent the waiter away, "It's not easy to say these things outside."

The third lady immediately said: "Sister-in-law, there are no outsiders here. Tell me what happened. Am I not telling the truth?"

Mrs. Xiang looked at her sister-in-law and said, "Madam, it's for your own good. We can just talk among our own families. We can't talk nonsense outside."

The third lady could still say something to the eldest lady, but she respected her sister-in-law very much, and immediately said: "I know, I won't talk nonsense, and what I say is also the truth."

Mrs. Xiang smiled when she heard the words, "As you know, everyone in the capital doesn't know, but the names on the roster are not full yet. It doesn't matter what the person in the palace is thinking. What matters is His Majesty. The prince has been in front of the emperor for so many years. His Majesty has great trust in him when he is on duty, and that is enough."

The eldest lady also agreed with Madam Xiang's words and nodded, and continued smoothly, "Although the Queen will intervene in the selection of the Crown Princess, the selection of the Crown Princess is not a trivial matter. In the end, His Majesty's nod is not required, so let's not worry about that. , Our girl is just going through the motions anyway."

Mrs. Xiang was delighted when she heard this. Her sister-in-law was right. It seemed that the daughter-in-law she had chosen had hope.

After breakfast and drinking tea, Dong Zhiwei arrived outside.

Su Xinyi and Su Jingmo went out with the elders, and Mrs. Changnanhou was also outside. They went over to see the ceremony, and then everyone gathered together to watch the snow scene at Daling Temple in the sunshine.

Halfway through, I met the abbot of the temple who came over. Since you are all the big patrons of the temple who add money to the fragrant oil every year, you came here to say hello.

When Su Xinyi arrived yesterday, she didn't see the host. This was the first time she saw him. He had a kind face and kind eyes, and his smile made people feel friendly. However, his smile was a bit attentive, which made Su Xinyi look a little weird.

But then I thought about the amount of money that their family donated to Daling Temple every year, at least a few thousand taels, so it made sense to be more diligent.

The host was chatting with everyone over there. Su Jingmo poked Su Xinyi's arm, "Xiao Liu, do you see His Royal Highness over there?"

Su Xinyi looked in the direction Su Jingmo pointed, and first saw Yang Jin's familiar face. He was walking in a hurry, and the person next to him was dressed in black. The golden embroidery on the flying robe corners sparkled in the sun. Su Xinyi only saw a back figure, and it disappeared in an instant.

"Yes." Su Xinyi nodded.

Su Jingmo said, "You look so anxious, is there something wrong with the prince?"

Su Xinyi didn't know. Could it be something about Yulin Guard? It shouldn't be. If there was news there, the prince would send her a letter.

"Then I don't know."

"The prince is so powerful, even if there is something, he will settle it. Let's go, let's go hiking." Su Jingmo grabbed Su Xinyi and said.

The mountain of Daling Temple is not very high, and there are stone pavilions for rest all the way to the top of the mountain. Even if you walk and rest, you can reach the top of the mountain in noon.

Looking down from the top of the mountain, you can see the magnificent palace of Daling Temple stretching all the way down the mountain. It was sunny today, and the carriages of pilgrims lined up in a long line at the mountain gate.

Su Jingmo and Dong Zhiwei strolled on the top of the mountain, and several elders rested in the pavilion. There was also a small temple on the top of the mountain. There were only three small rooms. The Buddha statue was enshrined in the middle. The small room on the east side was a Zen room for rest, and the small tea room on the west side provided tea for pilgrims.

Su Xinyi had nothing to do and didn't want to go to Su Jingmo to disturb the two of them, so she went to the temple. Looking up, she didn't know which Buddha was enshrined. She was not a devout Buddhist disciple, so she didn't know it. She walked around the temple and found that there was a fortune box in the corner, and an old monk was sitting at the table and taking a nap.

She was about to walk away when the old monk suddenly said, "Your presence is destiny. Why don't you come and tell a fortune?"

Su Xinyi wondered what was wrong with the Daling Temple. First they came up with a spirit writing system and now they asked for a fortune stick. She was about to refuse when she heard the old monk say, "Your presence is destiny with Buddha."

Su Xinyi was stunned and suddenly remembered her rebirth. She thought about it and smiled at the old monk, "Master, if you say that, I can't leave. I'll ask for a fortune stick and I'll trouble you to interpret it."

The old monk pushed the fortune stick tube forward.

Su Xinyi smiled, reached out to pick up the fortune stick tube, calmed down, and then reached out to shake it.

Others shook the fortune stick tube vigorously, but she was a martial artist, so her strength was even, and it took a long time to shake out a fortune stick. She put down the fortune stick tube and was about to pick up the fortune stick when she saw the old monk had already reached out to pick it up.

"Peach and plum trees thank the spring breeze, fly west and east again. There is no mood at home, the boat is in the waves." The old monk read the fortune in a tone that was neither hurried nor slow, which was very comfortable to hear.

Su Xinyi didn't hear anything, so she looked at the monk and asked, "Master, what does this fortune mean?"

The monk raised his head and stared at Su Xinyi for a long time, then said, "Peach blossoms and plum trees are lush in early spring and bloom in late spring, so spring is the time when peach and plum trees go from prosperity to decline, and migratory birds also return to their original habitats. Although people are calm as usual, the external impact is relatively large, like a boat placed in the waves. This fortune tells the donor to be cautious in everything and guard against all sudden changes."

Su Xinyi was stunned. Sudden changes?

Could it be from Yulinwei?

Her heart was lifted up all of a sudden. She was already anxious because of the lack of news from her cousins, and now she was even more worried.

Su Xinyi's thoughts were lingering in her mind, but she heard the monk whisper, "Spring is the time when everything comes back to life, and so is all life. Donor, Buddha's fate is not easy to come by, so you need to cherish it."

Su Xinyi's heart trembled, and she was about to ask for clarification, but she saw the monk closed his eyes, as if he no longer cared about her, so she had to give up.

But the words "Everything comes back to life, and so is all life" turned around in her mind, and her heartbeat accelerated. She walked a few steps and looked back, and saw that the old monk had left. There was nothing in front of the shabby table, only the fortune stick tube was left on it, which was quite bleak.

If the previous interpretation of the fortune stick was not true, she would have thought it was a dream.

Su Xinyi calmed down, these monks were talking nonsense, maybe they were just fooling her, who would believe in rebirth if they hadn't experienced it?

Maybe the monk was just making a mystery for the sake of incense money.

Suppressing her thoughts, she walked out and stood in the sun. Although the sunlight on her face was cold in winter, it calmed her heart.

"Xiao Liu, we are going down the mountain."

Su Xinyi heard Su Jingmo's voice and hurried over.

At noon, everyone had a lunch together, and then left the temple and went down the mountain. Dong Zhiwei sent them to the carriage, watched them leave, and then turned around and got on his own carriage.

The third wife couldn't be more satisfied, and felt that this son-in-law would not run away.

On the other side, in the carriage of Changnan Marquis's mansion, the wife of Changnan Marquis looked at her son and asked, "What do you think of Miss Su Si?"

Dong Zhiwei listened to his mother's question and smiled and said, "Very good."

The wife of Changnan Marquis looked at her son with a smile, "I'm choosing a wife for you, but you're fooling me. Tell me the truth, do you like her or not? If you like her, you can find someone to make a promise when you go back. If you don't like her, we have to talk to the person and don't delay Miss Su Si's marriage."

Dong Zhiwei looked up at his mother and shook his head helplessly, "You really are... I think Miss Su Si looks smart, but she is a bit simple, and she speaks frankly, does things neatly, and has a generous temperament. I think she is very good."

The wife of Marquis Changnan smiled when she heard this, "It's good that you think so. Mother also thinks that Miss Su Si is good. You can see that she is very natural when she gets along with Miss Su Liu, and the sisters get along well. You should know that Miss Su Liu was brought back from the countryside. If someone is more ambitious, how can he look down on such a sister. From this point, it can be seen that Miss Su Si is tolerant. In a family like ours, the eldest son and the eldest daughter-in-law are the future clan wives. The most feared thing is that they are not tolerant, and they are also afraid that they can't save face and have no courage to do things. I like Miss Su Si's personality. If you like it too, then everyone will be happy."

Dong Zhiwei coughed lightly, with a slightly uncomfortable look on his face, "Mother, don't say that Miss Su Liu is from the countryside in the future. Now she is the Princess of Yong'an County appointed by His Majesty himself, and she is extremely tough. Don't think she is very well-behaved in front of you. At the beginning, she bravely broke into the Duke of Qin's mansion with a gun and forced the Duke of Qin to write a letter of peace and divorce. And now there is no Duke of Qin's mansion."

Chang Madam Nanhou didn't care. She looked at her son and said, "What does this have to do with Miss Six? Although she is a bit tough, what the Shi family did was not right. I have also seen Bai Wei. She is a virtuous and virtuous girl. It is a pity for her to marry into their family. If you were a few years older, you would have married Bai Wei a few years earlier. That would be my favorite daughter-in-law."

Dong Zhiwei couldn't argue with her mother, so she just said, "You are right."

Madam Changnanhou looked at her son's uncomfortable expression, and suddenly said, "Oh, mother knows. You are afraid that if you marry Miss Su Si, you will do something to let her down in the future. You are afraid that Miss Six will come to you to settle the score."

Dong Zhiwei:...

Madam Changnanhou looked at her son's embarrassed expression and laughed so hard that she fell backwards. She wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and teased, "If that's the case, this marriage must be made. With such a powerful aunt watching, mother is not afraid that you will go the wrong way."

Dong Zhiwei took a breath. This is really a dear mother!

The wife of Marquis Changnan sighed again, "It's a pity that I don't have another biological son, otherwise I would have asked for Miss Six to marry into the family. Your half-brothers are not worthy of her."

Dong Zhiwei held her forehead, there was no way to talk today.

Her mother really liked Miss Su, she wished she could have another one, but it would be more than ten years too late.

The wife of Marquis Changnan looked at her son, smiled and said nothing more. Her son only looked at Miss Su Si's temperament and appearance, but she looked at her daughter-in-law more.

It was not a simple matter that Miss Su Liu was called over by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to talk alone.

Their Marquis had escaped a disaster in the early years thanks to Empress Pei, which was a life-saving grace, so he took good care of the Crown Prince. When the Crown Prince grew up, he secretly worked for the Crown Prince. She knew what kind of character His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had from the Marquis.

And after returning to Beijing, she also inquired about some things between the Crown Prince and Miss Su Liu, and she always felt that it was not simple.

She had long been eyeing this marriage, but if the daughter-in-law's family had a good relationship with the Eastern Palace, it would naturally be a good thing for their family.

I heard that the Sixth Miss was also on the list of candidates for the Crown Princess. Although the possibility of being selected as the Crown Princess is not high, what if she gets lucky?

This kind of thing is hard to predict.

After all, there are so many famous ladies in the capital, but none of them has the ability to be summoned by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone.
