All the embroidery pieces of the long-lasting Ruyi piece were completed by Su Zhaoning on the eighth day of the first month of March. On the ninth day of the first month, the news came that Concubine Zhen gave birth to a little prince.

Fifteenth, Su Jinyu, the eldest young master of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, stayed in Beijing and was promoted to the head of the household department and sent it to the Chang'an Hou Mansion.

Along with the holy decree, there is also the message of the queen's mother. said that it was the seventeenth Spring Festival banquet, and the old lady of the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion took the girls with him.

Everyone in Beijing knows that the men in the Chang'an Marquis Mansion are not prosperous, but there are many daughters. Regardless of the concubine, there are four people, there are a total of eight girls. In the past, this kind of banquet in the palace, the girls who did not have an order naturally did not bring it.

This time, the queen opened the phoenix mouth, and several ladies in the Chang'an Hou Mansion couldn't sit still.

The first to stand up was naturally Xiao Huang's in the second room.

She led her own fourth girl, Su Rouhui, to greet Mrs. Hou, and asked directly between tea.

"My daughter-in-law has never been in the palace, and I don't know what kind of attention I have. The two sets of new clothes that Rouhui made this spring, the ancestors will see if they can meet the rules, and do they want to do it again? ”

Mrs. Hou took the tea and moistened her lower lips, and replied to her second daughter-in-law without being salty or light: "This time, there is no hurry. ”

Xiao Huang heard the refusal, but refused to give up. She pretended not to understand and said, "It's my daughter-in-law who was negligent." Otherwise, the daughter-in-law will go and ask the master of Shangchunfang to tailor a few girls together, the time is very tight, and she won't be able to catch up if it's late. ”

"I thought of going with my sister-in-law." The three-room lady Hu Shi, who usually lives in a simple house, led the five girls from the concubine and the eight girls from the concubine to walk in together.

She saluted Mrs. Hou and said, "My daughter-in-law has invited the master of Shangchunfang to wait in the outer courtyard, and I have also asked the maid to call the other four girls." ”

"After all, daughters-in-law, like sisters-in-law, don't understand the rules of the palace, so they can only bother their ancestors." The third lady Hu thought clearly, the six girls in the fourth room were not there, the two girls in the third room went to get it, and the two girls in the second room also went to it, not to mention the long room.

That being the case, she might as well sell this first.

Although Xiao Huang was a little annoyed that the Hu family was one step ahead of him, he thought that the two had the same purpose, so he put up with it for the time being.

Su Zhenyi, who lived in Mrs. Hou's courtyard, was naturally the fastest.

She sweetly called Xiao Huang and Hu "Auntie", and snuggled up to Mrs. Hou to be coquettish.

"Grandmother, Zhenyi's new clothes this time are all peach-pink, but the bracelet earrings are all tourmaline."

Grandmother had already made clothes for Su Zhenyi first! Su Rouhui stirred the handkerchief in her hand and went to pull her mother's sleeve.

Xiao Huang patted her daughter's hand and said to Su Zhenyi: "If Zhenyi doesn't dislike it, Auntie has an excellent red jade bracelet." If you like it, take it. ”

Xiao Huang lifted his sleeves and revealed the red bracelet in his hand.

The bracelet is crystal clear all over, and it is really a top-grade red jade.

Su Zhenyi glanced at Mrs. Hou before replying, "Zhenyi is embarrassed to take her aunt's bracelet." ”

Xiao Huang replied against his will: "We are all rubbing your light now, if it weren't for your hard work and embroidery so many embroidery pieces, how could we have such honor." ”

Xiao Huang said, then stood up and put the bracelet on Su Zhenyi's wrist in person.

Outside the hall, Su Zhaoning, Su Yingying and Su Roujia entered the inner courtyard almost at the same time, and stepped in at the same time.

Su Roujia smiled and took Su Zhenyi's hand, turned her around, and praised: "Isn't it, look at our three girls, they are beautiful and skillful, but they are really grandmother's granddaughters, and they don't lose their grandmother's demeanor at all." ”

Mrs. Hou replied with a smile: "This is not my credit. ”

Subsequently, Su Zhaoning led his sister Su Yingying to salute with Mrs. Hou, Xiao Huang, and Hu in the hall, but no one answered, and they were directly ignored.

Su Yingying grabbed her sister's palm, and there was an unconcealed injustice in her eyes.

Su Zhaoning shook his head lightly at his sister and led him to the corner next to him.

Xiao Huang looked at Mrs. Hou enthusiastically and proposed, "Mother, since the girls are all together, how about inviting the tailor in?" It's just going to bother my mother. ”

Old Madam Hou's gaze swept over Su Zhaoning, and then she slowly replied: "The girls are here today, and grandmother will tell you what grandmother thinks." Although the queen mother is gracious, she said that I will lead you in. But in fact, you all know who Niangniang wants to see. ”

Mrs. Hou was only halfway through her words, and Xiao Huang and Hu sensed that something was wrong, but their identities were pressing, and the two of them were not easy to interrupt.

Su Yingying took Su Zhaoning's hand again.

Her eyes were full of grievances for her sister.

Su Zhaoning pulled Su Yingying to take a step back, trying to hide her figure in the most inconspicuous place.

I only heard Mrs. Hou continue: "Grandmother has taught you since you were a child, you can't write two Su characters with one stroke, one is prosperous, and one is declining. This time, although Grandmother only wants to lead the three girls into the palace, she will not miss the opportunities for the rest of you in the future. ”

Of course, that's what my grandmother had in mind. After all, the queen mother said that she would let me lead the girls, and if you all want to go, you can tell your grandmother. ”

Mrs. Hou's partiality towards Su Zhenyi is a reason, and more importantly, she knows that it is far better to show off alone than to have a tight cluster of flowers.

Although there are only seven of the eight girls in the Chang'an Hou Mansion in Beijing, this slip into the palace will not only not bring more benefits to the Chang'an Hou Mansion, but will share the favor of the queen.

"Grandmother wants us to be a foil for the third sister, but Rou Jia can't be fooled." The eldest girl has always done a perfect job on such occasions, so that people can't find the slightest mistake. Her words not only showed her attitude, but also praised Mrs. Hou upward.

Old Madam Hou looked at her eldest granddaughter's gaze, and immediately warmed like a spring breeze.

The fifth girl also stood up, she looked at Su Zhenyi and said with a smile: "I just want to make a few new sets of clothes with the light of the third sister, and my grandmother wants to make the most fashionable style for me." ”

Left and right can't enter the palace, although the five girls are not born to the third lady Hu, but they are used to judging the situation like the Hu family, and retreating to fight for interests.

Old Madam Hou naturally would not refute her granddaughter's request in such a trivial matter. She looked at the fifth girl with the same kindness and said, "You're clever! Grandmother will give you two sets of matching jewelry, and now you are satisfied! ”

The implications have almost become explicit. The fourth girl, Su Rouhui, couldn't pretend to be deaf anymore, so she had to stand up, took Mrs. Hou's hand and said, "Grandmother can't forget her granddaughter." ”

The eighth girl also said childishly: "I want the most beautiful and beautiful." ”

The eldest girl smiled and went to scratch the nose of the eighth girl, teasing her: "Do you know what is the most beautiful?" Shouldn't it be the most beautiful hairpin of the sugar gourd? ”

The second girl Su Zhaoning and the seventh girl Su Yingying in the corner have been completely ignored.

Su Yingying's eyes were red and red, and tears were about to fall. She understands better than anyone how important such an honor is to her sister Su Zhaoning. But just like that, he was blatantly robbed by Su Zhenyi!

There is also the fourth girl Su Rouhui who is also unhappy in her heart.

In the gap between her tailoring, she glared at Su Zhaoning, who was trying to minimize her sense of existence, and she just wanted to dig out a piece of meat from these two sisters!

The credit for the left and right people was actually let go to the long house! How nice it is to keep it to yourself!

Of course, Su Rouhui is not the only one who has such thoughts. Therefore, when he returned to the courtyard of the second room, Xiao Huang had a seizure.

She asked Mama to take Su Yingying away and told Su Zhaoning to serve her tea.

Before the tea was touched, Xiao Huang reprimanded: "Second Miss Su has been in front of the ancestor for a month, and her temper has grown. My mother can't be your cup of tea. ”

Su Zhaoning was not surprised by this attack, she lowered her eyes and replied, "My daughter doesn't dare." ”

"What else would you not dare!" With a flick of Xiao Huang's hand, the cup was completely shattered to the ground.

She looked at Su Zhaoning with anger on her face, and after looking her up and down, Xiao Huang sneered: "I can't call Second Miss Su anymore." It's just that since the ancestor is going to enter the palace recently, he has to go to see the queen mother. You should go and copy a hundred scriptures and talk about filial piety. ”

Xiao Huang didn't need to think about it to know how sour Su Zhaoning's hands, who had just completed the ninety-nine embroidery pieces. But she just wanted to toss Su Zhaoning's hands.

If you can't use it for yourself, you can simply waste it!

In the ancestral hall, Su Zhaoning held the pen, and his fingers trembled uncontrollably. She used her left hand to hold her right hand, trying not to let the pen fall.

I heard the sound of pushing the door, and a pretty figure walked in.

Su Zhenyi walked in with a basin of steaming water. She approached Su Zhaoning's side with a smile on her face and put the hot water on the table.

"Second sister has worked hard, my sister brought you hot water to soak your hands, you can rest first."

Su Zhaoning didn't stop the pen in her hand, she replied: "I don't do things for the third sister now, and I don't dare to work hard for the third sister." ”

Su Zhenyi raised her hand to take Su Zhaoning's pen, and persuaded softly: "Second sister, why do you have to see the outside world like this, your hard work these days, my sister sees all of it in her eyes, and she also understands it in her heart." ”

"The third sister has a heart." Su Zhaoning avoided Su Zhenyi's hand.

"Second sister, you can try it." Su Zhenyi suddenly grabbed Su Zhaoning's wrist and pressed her hands into the basin.

"Now that the embroidery has been completed, it would be better for the second sister to have a good rest in the future." The one who wanted Su Zhaoning's hands to be ruined more than Xiao Huang's was naturally Su Zhenyi.

As long as Su Zhaoning's hand is ruined, and he will no longer be able to embroider in the future, no one will ever be able to expose himself for credit this time.

"Big brother." Su Zhaoning suddenly shouted.

Su Zhenyi panicked and hurriedly looked up in the direction of the door.

The door was empty.

Su Zhaoning took the opportunity to break free and ran out.

Before she could get out of the courtyard, she came across a man.

Facing Su Zhenyi, Su Zhaoning's strength was comparable. And in the face of Su Zhenyi's younger brother, Su Jinxuan, Su Zhaoning's victory or defeat is self-evident.

Behind Su Zhaoning, Su Zhenyi's gaze was as cold as quenched venom, and she shouted, "Brother, catch her." I must destroy her hands today! ”
