Over at the family temple, when Su Jinxuan arrived, Su Zhaoning was laying out the futon on the bed.

Because it was already dark, Su Jinxuan was not a man who could break into the nunnery directly, so he asked the maid to invite Su Zhaoning.

That maid was the one who fed Su Zhenyi dried plums with sugar before. Now in front of Su Zhaoning, her mouth is so sweet that it is about to overflow with honey.

"Second Miss, don't talk about it. The eldest young master knows that you have worked hard to pray for your ancestors in the family temple, so he specially asked the second young master to pick you up and take you home. ”

As she spoke, the maid went to clean up Su Zhaoning's bags, but she cleaned up a little, and found that the two young ladies' belongings were really few.

It's really a mother's dead father who doesn't hurt. The maid silently rolled her eyes in her heart, but her face was not visible. She quickly tied the package and asked Su Zhaoning to go out.

When the two walked through the corridor, they woke up the little nun in the meditation room next to them. The little nun rubbed her eyes and opened the door, saw Su Zhaoning's outfit, and hurriedly asked, "Sister, where are you going?" ”

The maid was very disdainful of the title of the little nun, and she replied first: "Of course, the second lady of our family is going back to the Chang'an Hou Mansion." ”

"Sister, are you going back to your father?" The little nun didn't understand what the maid's accented Chang'an Hou Mansion represented, she only knew that Su Zhaoning was going back to her home.

Looking at this little nun who had been with him for some time, Su Zhaoning took out a small square bag wrapped in a handkerchief from his suite. She handed the little square bag to the little nun, touched the little nun's head again, and said, "This is the chestnut cake you like, don't be greedy at night." ”

The little nun took the small square bag and held it tightly in her arms, and nodded seriously towards Su Zhaoning. She actually wanted to ask Su Zhaoning if she would return here, but she knew in her heart that everyone missed their own home. Just like herself.

Outside the nunnery, Su Jinxuan was a little sleepy sitting on the inner wall of the carriage. The night breeze suddenly poured in with the curtain that had been lifted, and he woke up in shock, only to see his second sister in light pigmented clothes walking up.

Su Jinxuan moved to the side and shouted, "Second sister." ”

Su Zhaoning nodded and replied, "There is a second brother Lao." ”

After the two of them greeted each other with such a courtesy, they were silent all the way.

When I entered the city and returned to the Marquis of Chang'an, the moon had slowly climbed up. The little man at the door saw the carriage approaching from a distance, so he cleverly ran back to the inner courtyard to make a report. Therefore, Su Zhaoning had not yet stepped back into the courtyard of the second room, and the people around the eldest young master came to invite him.

The residence of the eldest young master, Su Jinyu, is adjacent to the eldest girl in the long house, but it is different from Mrs. Hou's courtyard. Su Jinyu's courtyard can be said to be the same as the courtyard of Mrs. Hou, which is an independent courtyard in the Hou Mansion that has both inside and outside.

Walking to the outer door, Su Zhaoning heard the sound of an argument.

An anxious voice came from the maid: "The slave really has something to ask to see the eldest young master, our third lady has injured her foot." ”

Hearing that it was about her sister Su Zhenyi, Su Jinxuan took three steps and two steps, hurriedly stepped into the inner courtyard, and asked, "Where is the third miss injured, and how did she get hurt?" ”

Seeing Su Jinxuan, the maid hurriedly saluted and replied, "It was the medicine bowl that fell to the ground, and the third lady accidentally stepped on the pieces." The young lady said that the eldest young master should have cloud and snow ointment, and let the slave maid come to see the eldest young master. But they said that the eldest young master was now seeing the distinguished guests and would not let the slaves and maids enter. ”

When Su Jinxuan heard that his sister was injured, he couldn't care about anything, and directly ordered: "Then I'll go and ask to see my eldest brother, you hurry back and guard my sister." Is Imperial Doctor Xu left by the fourth prince still there, please hurry up. ”

The little maid who served Su Zhenyi was originally a fourth-class maid who was not high in silver and guarded the outer door. It's just that after Su Zhenyi was punished, the rest of the people left, leaving only this little maid who had no way out to be temporarily promoted to serve her.

The little maid saw few scenes, and she was already a little flustered at this time. Fortunately, Su Jinxuan's side is different, it was given by Mrs. Hou's side.

I saw that the maid in the turquoise gown quietly stepped forward, first seemingly unintentionally blocking Su Jinxuan's way, and then took the hand of the little maid from before, and comforted: "Sister, don't worry, that Yunxue paste is indeed a good medicine, but no matter how good the medicine is, it can't compare to a good doctor." You go and ask Imperial Doctor Xu to take a look for the third young lady first, and the second young master will come over after asking for the ointment. ”

When the little maid heard this, she hurriedly ran out of the yard.

Su Jinxuan also hurriedly wanted to break into Su Jinyu's room. The subordinate at the door stopped him, and his words were exactly the same as before: "Second young master, the eldest young master has ordered, except for the second young lady, no one else can enter." ”

"I'm here to ask for medicine." Su Jinxuan was dissatisfied and was about to push away the hands of his subordinates.

The eldest maid beside him stepped forward again and persuaded softly: "Second young master, is the second young lady entering different from you entering?" The second lady will also ask for medicine for the third miss, why bother with it. ”

When Su Zhaoning heard this, he couldn't help but look at the maid in the emerald green gown. What kind of character these subordinates of the Hou Mansion are, Su Zhaoning, who grew up in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, can be said to have a deep understanding.

The one in front of him, on the surface, seemed to have blocked Su Jinxuan's behavior three or four times, but in fact, it was really good for him.

This is not the character of the people under the Hou Mansion in the past.

It seems that the status of this second young master in the Hou Mansion now, Su Zhaoning has to reevaluate it.

She previously refused the invitation of the eldest girl Su Roujia, firstly, because she didn't want to cross the river and demolish the bridge anymore, and secondly, because the good birds chose trees to perch, and the real owner of the Hou Mansion in the future was the eldest young master Su Jinyu, not Mrs. Hou.

Su Zhaoning calculated that Su Zhenyi's attempt to make a comeback would cause Mrs. Hou's mother and daughter to be anxious, and he was also sure that he would be pushed in front of the eldest young master Su Jinyu. But there was one thing now, which she didn't fully anticipate.

It seems that the second young master Su Jinxuan does not let the eldest young master get rid of him quickly?

With this layer of speculation, Su Zhaoning changed his mind in an instant. She patted her forehead and blamed herself, "They all blame me for my memory." Fang just heard the name of Yun Xue Cream, but he didn't even remember it. My aunt gave me a box and put it in the packing I brought back. The second brother might as well go to my side and pick it up directly, and send it to the third sister. ”

Su Jinxuan and Su Zhenyi are twins, but their hearts are far less complex than Su Zhenyi. Hearing this, he couldn't help himself, and immediately thanked Su Zhaoning in a hurry, and trotted out of Su Jinyu's yard.

The maid saluted Su Zhaoning and followed.

Su Zhaoning glanced at the backs of the two of them, and then walked towards Su Jinyu's study.

The door was pushed open, and a man in a purple satin robe was facing away from the doorway.

Su Zhaoning saw Su Jinyu only a handful of times, and he didn't even recognize that the one in front of him was not Su Jinyu for a while.

She called, "Big brother." ”

The man in purple turned around, only to see that the eyebrows on the jade-like face were like paintings, the thin lips were slightly raised, and the corners of his mouth were clearly smiling.

"You don't know me anymore?"

The clear voice sounded in his ears, and the throbbing in his heart like spring water immediately reminded Su Zhaoning of who the other party was.

"Zhaoning is rude, and I hope that Marquis Yuan will forgive his sins." Su Zhaoning never thought that the first person he saw when he returned to the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion would be Nan Huaixin, the Marquis of Dingyuan.

That used to ...... People who have saved themselves.

Nan Huaixin looked at Su Zhaoning in front of him with interest, he remembered her. This is an unlucky girl.

Speaking of bad luck, Nan Huaixin walked to the desk and picked up the words on the table to Su Zhaoning.

He asked her, "Do you know what is written here?" ”

Su Zhaoning looked up at the words on the rice paper, she nodded and replied, "Peace and security, live a long life." ”

Nan Huaixin nodded with satisfaction, then selected a wolf from the pen holder and handed it to Su Zhaoning, saying, "You write it for me." ”

Su Zhaoning stepped forward as he said, leaning over the desk to pick up a pen and write.

There was another sound of footsteps at the door, Su Zhaoning didn't look up, just wrote seriously.

The shadow was illuminated by the candle on the rice paper, and only Su Jinyu's voice was heard: "Second sister, how can you know Que Beiwen?" ”

Su Zhaoning stroked one stroke at a time, and wrote very carefully. Of course, she will be Beiwen, living in this Chang'an Hou Mansion, every information she gets intentionally or unintentionally is especially cherished and valued by Su Zhaoning.

Still half a year ago, when Su Rouhui went to ask for the cloud snow ointment, Su Zhaoning guessed from the description of the cloud snow ointment box that there was a bride in the palace, who was the pearl of the Khan of Quebei.

Since the Shanggong Bureau, which is able to make that person's fine style, specializes in making a medicine box engraved with Que Beiwen, it proves that this lady is quite favored. The status is noble, and it is favored, so some blessings are a matter of time.

When Su Zhaoning saw a large number of embroidered girls being led to the chief steward in the corridor of the Eldest Princess Chaoyang's mansion, she knew that the blessing of Princess Quebei had come. And she, like today, stepped out of her own way with this blessing.

"Zhaoning originally wanted to embroider a picture of Baifu on his grandmother's birthday, because he dabbled in a lot of characters from other places." Su Zhaoning had already rewritten the eight characters that Nan Huaixin requested. She put down the wolf's hair, picked up the rice paper, and waited for everyone to come and see.

In the study, there were already four people standing at this time.

In addition to Su Zhaoning and Su Jinyu, the Marquis of Dingyuan and Zhou Xuanlin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, were all standing in the room.

Zhou Xuanlin was the first to take the rice paper from Su Zhaoning's hand. After reading Su Zhaoning's words with disbelief, he picked up the one that Nan Huaixin had taken before, and compared the two side by side.

"Okay, okay, this is even better than what you wrote, Jinyu. Second sister Su, do you have any other Que Beiwen? Zhou Xuanlin asked.

Su Zhaoning looked at Su Jinyu, and after receiving the same question in the other party's eyes, she replied, "I will only say some words of blessing." ”

"Okay." Zhou Xuanlin was slightly disappointed, and he sighed, "It's better than nothing." The embroiderer of the second sister of Su doesn't know how to compare with the third sister of Su? ”

When Su Zhaoning saw Su Jinyu just now, he had already seen the beautiful jade pattern sachet hanging on the other party's waist.

The colors are bright and the embroidery is fine, but the fabric is not what Su Jinyu is used to. This sachet obviously won't come from the eldest girl, Su Roujia.

It seems that this is Su Zhenyi's handiwork.

Su Zhaoning untied the money bag on his waist and took out a sachet from it. She said to Su Jinyu: "Last year, I got a birthday gift from my eldest brother from Lingnan, and my sister has not been able to return the gift. This sachet was begged by my sister in front of the Buddha, and I ask my eldest brother not to dislike it. ”

During this time in the family temple, Su Zhaoning had also thought clearly. When there is no way back, it is not necessarily a way to go head-on. As long as you stand in the right position, even if it is just a thin willow, it is not so easy to be blown down.

She spread the sachet in the palm of her hand and delivered it to everyone.
