Chapter Fifty-Eight: The Three Girls' Abacus

The members of the Yongxu Society are all nobles from the capital, so although it is a spring trip, the place is not too far away, just ten miles outside the capital.

But even so, the ladies in each house are not worried about letting their daughters come out by themselves, and almost every house will have a brother to escort them.

Yes, during the spring trip of Yongxu Society, Su Zhenyi suddenly became particularly interested.

She wanted to take the opportunity to get acquainted with the son of the family, and she wanted to take the opportunity to push Su Zhaoning to Zhou Ruoqian.

The last time I was in Qingquan Temple, Su Zhenyi had already inquired clearly. It's just that Su Zhaoning happened to calculate Su Rouhui, so he left the wing room one step earlier.

Thinking about it this way, her plan is certainly not revealed. Zhou Ruoqian is also very easy to explain. It's just that I happened to leave, and I didn't hear his confession at all.

Now there is only one key issue in Su Zhenyi's mind.

That is to find a way to let Su Zhaoning, who has the invitation of Yongxu Society, take her and Su Jinxuan with him.

After rummaging through boxes and cabinets in her room for a long time, Su Zhenyi couldn't find anything that could be seen and sent.

After she returned to the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion, her life was indeed much more comfortable, and she also had a lot of jewelry that she couldn't think of in the past.

But these jewelry are either not too valuable, or they are given by Mrs. Hou, and it is inconvenient to give them to others. Su Zhenyi was very distressed by this.

When my sister has a headache with the jewelry in a makeup box, my brother is not worried at all.

Su Jinxuan knew what his sister was thinking. But he calculated Su Zhaoning once, and after tasting the bitter fruits of failure, he was very reluctant to deal with Su Zhaoning again.

Su Jinxuan sat in the room and persuaded Su Zhenyi, saying, "Left and right are just a spring trip." If my sister doesn't succeed, don't go, there will be a chance in the future. ”

"I'm not going either. The eldest brother likes the second sister and lets the eldest brother go. Su Jinxuan mainly wanted to say the latter sentence.

Su Zhenyi was not as lazy as Su Jinxuan, she interrupted her younger brother and said: "They are all children of Su Mansion, you have time to spare, you should share the worries of your eldest brother." ”

Zhou Ruoqian's matter, she waited too long, and she was tormented to the point that she was almost a piece of paper.

Su Jinxuan was still retreating, and said unwillingly: "Sister, can't you find something to give a gift?" ”

"Yes. But ......" Su Zhenyi thought about it, and finally made up her mind, and instructed Su Jinxuan, "You go and draw a picture of autumn frost." ”

"I'm drawing?" Su Jinxuan was dumbfounded. Although his autumn frost picture has some artistic conception, it is not something that can be drawn in three or two moments.

Therefore, after listening to Su Zhenyi's suggestion, Su Jinxuan could only talk about other things: "The quality of the painting depends on each individual's eyes." Sister, let's choose something else. ”

Su Zhenyi's suggestion was rejected by her younger brother, but she didn't give up at all. Thinking of the situation when she first entered the Chang'an Hou Mansion, Su Zhenyi sighed and hurriedly went to find the box given by the old lady Hou that day.

At this end of the Chang'an Hou Mansion, the third lady Su Zhenyi was very busy.

On the other end, Su Zhaoning was very leisurely raising a cup of tea.

The third girl should be in a hurry, right?

When will the three girls come to me?

"Second sister." Su Zhenyi's voice finally came in.

Su Zhaoning raised his head and looked at Su Zhenyi at the door. I saw that the other party was holding a rosewood brocade box in his arms. The box felt familiar.

For a moment she couldn't remember where she had seen the box.

Su Zhenyi's face was full of smiles, as if she and Su Zhaoning looked like sisters.

"The second sister looks really energetic today." Su Zhenyi tricked himself to curry favor with Su Zhaoning.

Su Zhaoning's lips hooked a smile, and asked Su Zhenyi: "Don't listen to the third sister praise me." What is the best place today that makes the third sister feel good? ”

Su Zhenyi didn't expect Su Zhaoning to ask herself so seriously, and she was suddenly a little speechless.

You must know that in Su Zhenyi's eyes, only she is the best-looking, the most beautiful, and the most spiritual. All the advantages, she has always believed that only she has.

"Where, third sister, let's talk more carefully, I'll use it next time I go out." Su Zhaoning deliberately asked.

Sure enough, Su Zhenyi looked very embarrassed when she was asked, and she couldn't answer for a while.

Even if you don't mean it, you can't really admit that you just praise it casually.

Su Zhenyi thought about it, and finally found a place in Su Zhaoning that she could barely admit that it was somewhat comparable to herself.

Su Zhenyi said with a smile: "Second sister should have rested well yesterday, her eyes are as clear as water, but doesn't she look very beautiful and spirited overall?" ”

She was afraid that Su Zhaoning would play this kind sentence again, so she hurriedly said first: "A few days ago, I heard that the second sister was going to participate in the spring trip of the Yongxu Society, and I have nothing to help my sister, only a piece of jade was given by my grandmother." Please don't dislike the second sister, just take it and change it into jade jewelry. ”

When Su Zhaoning heard this, he completely remembered why the rosewood box was so familiar.

It turned out that this box was given by Mrs. Hou to Su Zhenyi's two sisters and brothers who had just recognized their relatives that day.

Su Zhaoning knelt in the utility room next to the ancestral hall that day, although he didn't completely see the situation outside, he noticed some of the things.

The texture and carving of the box in front of him all show that it is a top grade.

Su Zhaoning didn't take the box immediately. No matter how sincere Su Zhenyi's gift of jade is, she will not accept this box.

Mrs. Hou prepared two identical brocade boxes, and the jade inside was bound to be exactly the same. She went to get one of the jade pieces that belonged to her sister and brother, which would only add to her grandmother's disgust.

Su Zhenyi really couldn't think of anything to give away. Although she was reluctant to accept this piece of fine jade, she beat Su Zhaoning's idea that after going on the spring trip, she would be unlucky, and this jade would be taken back.

So seeing that Su Zhaoning didn't reach out to pick up the box at all, Su Zhenyi put the rosewood brocade box on the table, opened the lid of the box by herself, and pushed it to Su Zhaoning's side.

A crystal clear piece of high-grade jade appeared in front of him.

Su Zhenyi suddenly regretted it. Such a good jade pendant, when he was punished, would Su Zhaoning deliberately hide it?

She couldn't help but praise: "What a beautiful jade." ”

Su Zhaoning raised his eyebrows and asked Su Zhenyi: "What's the matter, haven't you opened this brocade box yet?" ”

Su Zhenyi nodded, and especially emphasized: "Yes, this time I brought this jade pendant because I wanted to make amends to the second sister for the medicinal materials and wet clothes." Please don't dislike the second sister. ”

Su Zhaoning's heart was laughing. If he really accepted it, he would only treat it as a reparation, ignoring Su Zhenyi's later request, and he didn't know what would happen to the other party.

She made up her mind to take Su Zhenyi to participate in this outing, so she took the opportunity to say to Su Zhenyi: "It's all between sisters, so there is no need to pay attention to etiquette like this." It's just ......"

Su Zhaoning paused.

Su Zhenyi immediately looked at it nervously.

Su Zhaoning continued: "It's just that I only received two invitations for this spring trip. I heard that in other houses, they all brought a brother with them. ”

Su Zhenyi listened with a smile on her face, and when she heard the last sentence, the smile stiffened.

Brothers? So is Su Zhaoning going to bring Su Jinyu?

Su Zhenyi hurriedly spoke: "Second sister, don't think I'm in charge too much, in fact, I think the eldest brother is busy all day now, and he also needs a proper rest." Therefore, if the second sister wants to choose a brother, it is better to bring Jinxuan. ”

Su Zhaoning glanced at Su Zhenyi and asked, "So, doesn't the third sister want to go?" ”

"How is that possible!" Su Zhenyi replied quickly.

Su Zhaoning smiled and said, "I have made it very clear before, only one post is extra. So in the end, the third sister will go, or the second brother will go? ”

Su Zhenyi's eyes lit up when she heard this, and all the thoughts in her mind quickly turned. She replied with a smile: "At such a grand event, you can always meet a few dignitaries. I don't want to miss this opportunity. If only the second sister could get a few more invitations. ”

It's really a daydream. Su Zhaoning felt funny in his heart, but he still didn't show any disdain on his face.

She pursed her lips and took a sip of the tea in her hand, but did not answer Su Zhenyi's words.

Su Zhenyi herself has already calculated in detail in her heart. Although her younger brother followed the past, he was also able to calculate Su Zhaoning and Zhou Ruoqian. But it is always better to do it yourself than to do it yourself.

Su Zhenyi, who couldn't wait for Su Zhaoning's answer, knew that it would probably not work to ask for more posts.

She smiled with Su Zhaoning flatteringly: "Second sister, in fact, I think that there will be no safety problems if so many ladies go on a spring trip like this, even if our own brothers in the house do not go with us." ”

This idea was agreed by Su Zhaoning.

Although she didn't immediately start the next topic with Su Zhenyi, the hand holding the cup paused for a moment, and a pair of clear and clean eyes locked on Su Zhenyi's body.

Su Zhenyi was very encouraged and continued: "If the second sister is willing, my sister I want to walk with you. I, a girl who had never been in the capital when I was a child, was very curious about the things that were sold in the capital. ”

Su Zhaoning let out a faint sigh.

Su Zhenyi couldn't get a reply, so she could only bite the bullet and continue: "I also know that I have done many wrong things in the past, but now I am really devoted to you, second sister." ”

Su Zhaoning finally opened his mouth again.

She looked back at Su Zhenyi with a frank gaze and said, "I'm also looking at you, the third sister, so I'm a little hesitant." Third sister, if you want to go, I naturally won't refuse you. After all, you helped me a lot when I was at Qingquan Temple. ”

Su Zhaoning mentioned that when she was in Qingquan Temple that day, Su Zhenyi helped her identify Su Rouhui.

In fact, the two of them who came back and forth this time knew that Su Zhenyi did not identify Su Rouhui like that for the purpose of helping Su Zhaoning. But many times, if you want to get along with each other for the time being, you can only pretend to be confused.

Looking at Su Zhenyi's expression of immediate joy, Su Zhaoning said again: "The jade is a gift from my grandmother, and my sister still takes it back." If you have the heart, just give me a few sets of beautiful heads. ”

Su Zhaoning looked Su Zhenyi up and down, and said, "I'm about as fat and thin as you, and I can still bring your head and face." ”

Su Zhaoning said it very lightly, but Su Zhenyi just wanted to cry secretly. She has no help from her grandfather's family, and she has no mother, where did she get a few sets of heads?
