Chapter 120 Punishment
Su Jingzhai said: "I got the news that the Ninth Princess went to the south of the Yangtze River. Her purpose this time is the same as that of Princess Changle."
Su Shao added, "Given the talents of the two Su family girls in Jinling and Yangzhou, which one is not better than the seventh girl. My father and I are waiting for good news from the Jiangnan Su family in Yueyang. I think there will be at least eight out of ten girls selected."
Su Mo laughed and laughed.
Ever since Princess Changle came, Uncle Su Qi didn't dare to inquire about the news easily.
Someone also sent Princess Jiarou two maids with superb martial arts skills. Uncle Su Qi had fought with Chunfeng before. Chunfeng was young, but she was ruthless and her moves were fatal. Uncle Su Qi fought with her for more than fifty moves, but he didn't get the upper hand at all.
Su Jingzhai continued with a smile, "The Su family in the capital and the Su family in Jinling were one family forty years ago. There is no need to mention the interest of the two shops. No matter how much the Jiangnan Su family earns, it is all yours. Yunyifang and Yunrongfang share the styles with you."
Last night, something happened in the backyard of the Governor's Mansion.
First, Su Jingzhai wanted to send his granddaughter to the Jinling Su family for education, and then Su Qiniang went to Tingyu Pavilion to cry. Zhen Su asked for a meeting late at night, but they could not get close because Uncle Su Qi found that the female guard Shi Jian beside Princess Changle had been dispatched, and squatted on the roof to observe. Chunfeng was hiding in the dark in the bushes several feet away from Shi Jian.
Chunfeng has an extraordinary origin. According to Uncle Su Qishu's judgment, he must be a master in the palace.
One sword servant is troublesome enough, and now there is another one.
Even though the master and servant were extremely curious, they could not take the risk to explore.
It was obvious that Su Jingzhai and Zhen Su had a late-night discussion, which lasted for more than an hour, which was very unusual.
Su Mo is re-evaluating Zhen Su's weight.
Uncle Su felt more and more that he had underestimated Zhen Su.
Su Shao couldn't change Su Jingzhai's decision, but Zhen Su did.
Zhen Su was definitely not what the people in the capital called a "softie", nor was she unfit to be a principal wife or a royal concubine as they said; on the contrary, she was hiding her talent.
Su Mo glanced around: "Why can't I see my cousin Wen Jiang?"
Su Jingzhai said, "Mr. Mo, the seventh girl was ignorant last night and made a scene in Tingyu Pavilion. Wen Jiang went to bed very late and has not gotten up yet."
He called him "Master Mo" all the time and no longer asked for a share of the profits from the two Jiangnan districts, but still promised benefits. He did not give him a business card and would no longer send his granddaughter to Jiangnan. This idea changed too quickly.
Su Mo said: "After this farewell, I... want to meet my cousin Wen Jiang."
Su Shao hesitated and looked at Su Jingzhai, feeling very embarrassed.
Su Jingzhai didn't sleep well last night. After a long talk with Zhen Su, he understood his granddaughter better. Three years after they left Beijing, his granddaughter had learned a lot. She was flexible but not weak, and she had a clear understanding of things.
In fact, from the very beginning, Zhen Su clearly separated feelings from reality, and knew that there was no future between her and Su Mo.
Su Mo turned around and walked in, running straight towards Tingyuxuan. When he got outside the door, he exchanged reward money with the servant girl.
The maid said in a loud voice: "My lord, Master Su Mo from Jiangnan is going back to Jiangnan, so I came to say goodbye to him!"
Chunfeng wanted to curse.
Chunyu pouted angrily.
I wanted to let my master have a good sleep, but there are always people who come to disturb him.
No one answered, so the maid called out again, "Master Su Mo has come to say goodbye!"
Zhen Su woke up. He was sleeping soundly when he was awakened by a maid making a loud noise outside.
The Su family's backyard really needs to be properly managed. Su Qinnan was so noisy last night, and a maidservant reported loudly this morning. She is obviously not Tingyuxuan's servant, so how dare she make noise there.
Zhen Su was very angry, "Come here, give that noisy maid twenty strokes of the cane!"
Chunyue responded, "Princess, what is the crime?"
"If there is a visitor, Tingyuxuan's maid should report it. It is not proper for her, who works somewhere else, to make a loud noise outside my yard!"
There is no need to charge anyone with a crime, but if you break the rules, you should be punished!
Zhen Su was in a bad mood when he woke up. He pulled the quilt over his head and went to sleep. Unexpectedly, a pleasant male voice asked, "Cousin Wen Jiang, don't you want to see me?"
Zhen Su was annoyed, he pulled back the quilt and said to the window: "It's the same whether we see it or not."
"After parting today, I don't know when we will meet again."
"What if we meet? What if we don't?" Zhen Su asked back, "If life could only be like the first time we met, it would be too late."
Being in that situation, he said that he could decide his own marriage, but the fact was that he could not make his own decision.
As for her, although she had the power to choose her own marriage, the man she loved could not stick by her until the end. So what was the point? It would only make him sad.
"Cousin Wen Jiang, give me a month. I will reply with good news within a month. Su Mo will marry no one but you in this life. This love will never change, even if the seas run dry and the rocks crumble!"
"Your grandmother is seriously ill..." This was mentioned in a family letter from the Su family in Jinling. The writer of the letter was the patriarch of the Su family. Because of this, Su Mo did not doubt it, and Su Jingzhai did not doubt it either.
Su Mo was about to leave, and he was afraid that if he didn't tell her, he would regret it for the rest of his life. "Cousin Wen Jiang, wait for me, I will never let you down!"
"Okay, I'll give you a month. If there's no good news, we'll be separated forever from now on."
"Take care, cousin!"
"Brother Mo, have a nice trip!"
She was inside the house and he was outside, separated by a wall.
I finally said what I wanted to say.
Chunfeng entered the inner room, holding a cloth bag in his hand, "Master, this is the information about Su Mo and Miss Yao Yun."
Zhen Su took it. There were more than ten pages of content in it. She stuffed the cloth bag under her pillow.
"Master, don't you want to see it?"
"He said one month, one month. I'll see after it's over."
Once you give someone a chance, you shouldn't doubt them.
Zhen Su yawned, "I was sleeping soundly, but was woken up again. The Su family backyard needs to set some rules. If this continues, what will happen?"
The maid who accepted the reward was ordered by Zhen Su to be beaten with twenty sticks.
Chunyu and Chunjiang were in charge, and the maid who beat the boy with the stick used heavy force.
Chun Jiang said: "Remember, next time don't go beyond the rules and report the visitor to the princess. Do you think there are no maids or stewards in Tingyu Pavilion?"
Reporting without going through them is clearly an overstepping of the boundaries.
He disturbed the princess's rest and dared to fight her.
Previously, Su Qinniang betrayed Zhen Su for Hong Yuchai, and now the servant girl has exceeded the rules and reported the two taels of silver as a reward. Both should be punished.

The backyard of the Grand Governor's Mansion.
The brothers Su Wulang and Su Qilang were sitting in the pavilion. The eldest brother is like a father. Su Shao did not know how to teach his daughter, but he taught his son mostly knowledge and calligraphy. The principles of how to be a good person were all taught by Su Jingzhai.
He simply let his two sons discipline Su Qinniang in the same way as their elder brothers.
Su Balang stood behind Wulang.
"Seventh sister, you are eleven years old now. Yesterday, you wanted to sell out and betray your family just for a red jade hairpin given by Mao Yuanniang..."
Su Qiniang's heart trembled, "I didn't, if you don't believe me, ask Xiaolan and Xiaohong."
"Seventh sister, you took the hairpin, why did you insist on dragging my cousin to Mingzhu Pavilion in Yaxian Manor?"
Su Wulang said, "You'd better answer truthfully, otherwise, don't even think about stepping out of the Second Gate for the next month. Furthermore, forget about going to the capital."
