Chapter 67: The Eldest Sister (I)
Shen Miaolan is not that simple-minded person, and any abnormal banquet at this juncture naturally has its undercurrent.
"Sometimes it's not always better to look better. Shen Miaolan took off the Danfeng ruby on her head and handed it to the lark on the side, "Let me ask my mother, a woman who is good at showing off and competitive, may take care of the back house?"
Mother Yun was stunned when she heard this.
With Shen Miaolan's background, if she doesn't marry the prince, she must be the housewife of a noble family. In the heyday, people would never want a woman who was good and strong and showed themselves to be the housewife. Such a person is in charge, which will inevitably lead to decay. Mother Yun knew that she had made a mistake in her judgment, so she took a step back and saluted, "It's the old slave who was confused, and almost delayed the girl." ”
Shen Miaolan waved her hand, "Don't get in the way, Hengzhu hasn't gone out yet, just changed his outfit." ”
Su Rili's clothes and jewelry are all in charge of the lark, and she quickly picked out a red butterfly daffodil dress for Shen Miaolan. The makeup is not outstanding, and the hairpin ring jewelry is expensive but not eye-catching.
The fourth wife resigned from the trip on the grounds that she was unwell and the sixth girl was still young. The second lady and the third lady each took two girls and cousins to Prince Su's mansion together.
In the canopy folding feather tassel carriage, Shen Miaolan and Shen Yilan sat next to Mrs. Shen San on the left and right.
For example, when noble ladies gather and sons accumulate, there will be some unexpected situations. The third lady looked at her daughters who were like flowers and jade, and she was a little worried in her heart. So he instructed, "Princess Su is the niece of the current Queen Mother, and she has many dealings with the nobles in the palace. Today, those who come to the palace to celebrate their birthdays are all the best people in the capital. But there are also some families who bring some broken relatives to participate. Most of these people will cling to a good family affair by unscrupulous means, and the means are self-evident. I'm afraid I have to deal with some old friends today, and I can't stay by your side all the time. You have to be careful, don't get into trouble. If the girl's family makes a wrong step, it will not only ruin her future, but also damage the lintel of her mother's house, and the girls will be implicated. ”
"Mother shouldn't worry about our sisters getting into trouble, but she should worry about not having anyone implicate us. Shen Yilan snorted coldly, lifted the curtain and looked at the carriage moving slowly behind. There was Shen Jiaolan, who was dressed up in a different way.
"The draft is approaching, and the third sister is not qualified to enter the palace, but I am afraid that this time it will be ruined. Shen Miaolan also replied.
"With your second aunt and sister detained, and a cousin girl following, I'm afraid that it will be difficult for her to succeed if she has a heart. Mrs. Shen flattened her sleeves, and she despised Shen Jiaolan very much in her heart. "Then again, if she really did something today. It's just self-inflicted. The people she can look down on, the housewife is not something your second aunt can deal with. ”
Mrs. Shen's expression revealed a sense of self-confidence, she was pampered for many years, and she was raised by a noble background.
"Miao'er," Mrs. Shen San pulled Miaolan's hand into her sleeve, "When you arrive at King Su's Mansion, go and find an opportunity to visit your eldest sister." ”
"What's the matter, doesn't the big sister come out to meet the guests?" Shen Miaolan looked up in surprise.
The third lady nodded silently, "You'll know when you go." ”
Miao Lan looked up at Yilan, wanting to find an answer from her. But Yilan obviously didn't want to reveal anything, so she just lowered her eyes and didn't speak.
When I arrived at King Su's Mansion, I didn't see Shen Peilan in the welcoming team. In the warmth of everyone's greetings, no one mentioned her. It seems that the princess does not exist.
Shen Miaolan sat next to the third lady and wondered, Princess Su, who was sitting at the top, looked at Miaolan and asked, "Is this the fifth girl Shen?"
Miao Lan heard herself and hurriedly raised her head in response.
Princess Su has a long face, and she is a little serious. There was a little smile on his face, but he didn't look kind at all. She beckoned to Miao Lan and motioned for her to come to her side.
Shen Miaolan glanced sideways slightly, and saw that the third lady who was drinking tea with her head bowed nodded slightly, so she got up and walked to Princess Su's side.
The little prince in Suwang's mansion has not yet discussed marriage, and many people in this house are eager to become the little daughter-in-law of this family. Suddenly hearing Princess Su call Shen Miaolan, everyone gathered their eyes. The second lady curled the corners of her mouth meaningfully, Yilan took a deep breath, Chunlan looked dazed, Mingyu didn't care, Shen Jiaolan stared at Shen Miaolan directly, and almost bit a mouthful of silver teeth.
Shen Miaolan felt like a mang on her back, but she still walked to Princess Su's side with an elegant posture and saluted.
Such an elegant posture is really from a famous family. Some people in the crowd couldn't help but sigh and feel ashamed.
Princess Su looked at it coldly, and saw that Miaolan advanced and retreated in a measured manner, and behaved elegantly. Nodding secretly, he reached out and pulled her to his side to take a closer look. said with a smile, "I have long heard that there is a fifth girl in the Marquis Mansion of Ningyuan, although she is young, she is a beautiful country. Sure enough, the same as Shen Guifei's mother, I am afraid that in the future, I will be better than blue. ”
Shen Guifei was talking about Shen Miaolan's aunt. There are people here who can clearly arrange the background of the family, and I feel a little comforted in my heart. First, he only praised the beauty instead of the quality of the blue heart, indicating that this person was not among the candidates for the princess's daughter-in-law, and the second was Shen Guifei, everyone couldn't help but think of the crown prince and the four princes, and the princess would not let her son and the prince rob people. Everyone's hearts gradually settled down.
Shen Miaolan was praised, so she naturally pretended to be shy, "The princess is wrongly praised, Miao'er is just stained with the light of the concubine." If you talk about beauty, among the sisters, the eldest sister is the most outstanding. ”
At the mention of Shen Peilan, Princess Su's smile froze. Only then did everyone remember that there seemed to be a future mistress missing from the Su Wang's mansion. The princess Shen Peilan.
The third lady was instructed by the old man before going out, and at this time her daughter made a good start, and she naturally put down the porcelain embossed tea bowl in her hand. looked at Princess Su without squinting, and said in a faint voice, "Miao'er didn't mention it, but I didn't find it." Why don't you see the princess today?"
Everyone suddenly remembered that there was a girl in the Marquis of Ningyuan's Mansion who married Prince Su's son as his wife. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a while.
Princess Su's face was a little ugly, and she took Shen Miaolan's hand and clenched it unconsciously. Xuan even smiled, "Because of my birthday banquet, Pei Lan has been working for many days and is overworked. I couldn't endure it today, so I rested. ”
"It turns out that the eldest sister is sick. Shen Miaolan looked distressed, and looked at Princess Su with a little pleading, "I implore the princess to allow Miaolan to visit her sister." ”
My cousin wants to see my cousin, and it is natural that Princess Su will not refuse. But what is the matter with the smile on her face? Second Lady Shen's face became solemn, Chunlan and Mingyu took the attitude that it was not about themselves, Guerlain raised her throat with a heart, Yilan frowned, and the third lady stared at Prince Su and Princess Su without changing or hurrying, waiting for the following.
