It rained at night, and it was a little cooler to get up in the morning, after Su Yan washed, he was not busy combing his hair, and first pushed open the window on the north side, and the fragrance of magnolia flowers came to his face. She took a deep breath and only felt that her stomach was full of flowers, and her mouth was fragrant.

"Shi Niang, beware of catching a cold." Lu Xue hurriedly took a piece of clothing and draped it on Su Yan's body.

Su Yan casually pulled up the placket of his clothes, just look at the magnolia blooming outside the window first, "Yesterday, the fifth sister also said that when the magnolia flowers bloomed, I wanted to break two branches to insert the bottle." Hanfang, you take someone to break two branches and send them to the fifth sister. ”

Han Fang was a little surprised, but she didn't say anything, just answered and turned around and went out.

When the nursing mother came in, when she heard the last sentence, she persuaded softly: "Shi Niang, you should also send it to Qi Niang." In Wan Niang's opinion, the son of the world was born to the same mother as Lang Jun, and her little lady should be closer to the sisters of the Shizi family.

She saw Su Yan sitting in front of the open window in her cloak again, hurriedly came over, helped Su Yan to leave, and said distressedly: "It rained last night, and it stopped at dawn." It's very cold in the morning, Shi Niang has to look at the flowers, and she should add more clothes, what if she catches a cold. ”

Su Yan sat down in front of the dressing table with Wan Niang, watched her take a jade comb, and slowly combed her hair, before she smiled: "Seventh sister doesn't like magnolia flowers, wait for those begonias to bloom, just fold a few branches and send them." ”

Because of this magnolia flower, the fifth sister and the fourth sister were still a little unhappy yesterday. The girl in the red shirt, her bright apricot eyes sneered slightly, "Who folds the magnolia flower in the vase." The fifth sister's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to say a word. Thinking of this, Su Yan sighed softly, there are many sisters in this family, and it is not entirely a good thing.

"Shi Niang, drink a glass of honey." Qingyun smiled and brought a cup of warm water over with a small red square plate, "I got up early and saw that the magnolia flowers were blooming well, so I picked a few and made honey tea." Shi Niang taste, can it be the same as in the past? ”

The jade-white tea cup contains light amber honey tea with a faint aroma of magnolia flowers. Su Yan picked it up casually and took a sip slowly, only to feel that his lips and teeth were full of the fragrance of magnolia honey tea, and the little depression just now flew away all at once.

Seeing that Su Yan liked it, Wan Niang said with a smile: "Fresh magnolia flowers are the best way to make flower cakes, and the slave will take someone to pick some for a while and make some flower cakes for Shi Niang to eat." "Alas, when I was in Wu County, where did I dare to talk to Shi Niang about these things, they just did it and took it with Shi Niang. However, when I first arrived in Shangdu, I was afraid that Shi Niang would not be used to it, so I was a little more verbose.

Su Yan bowed his head slightly, "A-Niang likes fried magnolia flowers, Eminem should make some and send them to A-Niang." ”

"Yes."

Wan Niang combed Su Yan with a double snail bun, hairpinned a small bead flower, and changed her dress with Lu Xue and Qingyun to serve her, and hugged her and walked towards Qingyuan.

It was late spring, the grass and trees in the Guogong Mansion were sparse, the spring flowers were splendid, and the torrential rain at night turned into dewdrops and became more crystal clear in the sun. Along the way, the slightly humid air, with the fragrance of grass and trees, made Su Yan's footsteps much lighter.

Turning a flower wall and passing through a verandah, the Qingyuan where Su Zhoucheng and his wife live is in front of them. Qingyuan is the courtyard of Su Zhoucheng and his wife in the Guogong Mansion, and it has been empty since he became Jiangnan. This time, the family returned home, and naturally moved in again.

Su Zhengxun, Su Zhengze and Su Yan are brothers and sisters, but they have no yard. When they came back this time, the two brothers randomly chose two courtyards adjacent to each other and made them a place to live. Su Yan's residence was chosen by his grandmother Wang, which was originally called Tianxiang Pavilion, and it was the most magnificent courtyard in the Guogong Mansion except for the residence of the Duchess Wang. Flowers and trees are planted all over the courtyard, among which peony, magnolia, golden cinnamon and begonia are the most precious. After Su Yan moved in, he changed the word Yutang as the name of the courtyard for his residence, such as today, Xiangge was changed to Yutang Courtyard.

"Shi Niang is here." When the maid who was waiting in the Qingyuan saw Su Yan, Du Fu saluted, and the person who was guarding the door hurriedly went in to report the news. There were two other pretty girls dressed in red and green, who raised the curtain high and said with a smile: "The lady has been reading for a while, Shi Niang go in quickly." ”

The main house of Qingyuan is five rooms wide, and there are ear rooms on both sides. Su Zhoucheng and his wife, Su Xi and Kuolang, except for the bedroom of the two, the rest are separated by flower covers, and they are not blocked. The husband and wife were sitting in the west room at this time, and when they saw their daughter coming in, Lu Hui asked with a smile: "Auntie, did you sleep well last night?" ”

Su Yan stepped forward to greet his parents, and met the two brothers again, before he snuggled up to Lu Hui and sat down, and said with a smile: "It's not bad, it rained heavily at night, I don't even know." While speaking, she saw that although her father was wearing a wide-sleeved shirt and sitting on his lap, the court clothes were hanging on the side, so she suddenly said: "Daddy's holiday has arrived, it's time to go to court." It turned out that she hadn't even paid attention to it after being back for so many days.

Speaking of which, it has been more than ten days since the family returned to Shangdu. After Daddy met the king, he had a ten-day vacation, and except for taking the family to his grandmother's house for a day, he has been receiving people who came to visit.

On the fourth day of their return, the two elder brothers entered the academy of their maternal grandfather's family and received an early education. She followed her mother and got to know the inside of the Guogong Mansion and made up for her homework.

In the face of his children, Su Zhoucheng has always been a gentle father, especially for his youngest daughter, who is full of female control. Speaking to his daughter, he really softened his voice five points, "Ashu, are you still used to these days?" The weather in Shangdu is colder than that in Wu County, so add more clothes when you go in and out to don't catch a cold. I heard your aunt say that the family also invited a gentleman for the little ladies, and you don't have to go to school with your sisters, and in about ten days, the gentleman your grandfather found for you should also arrive. Take advantage of these days to have more fun. The little ladies in Shangdu are more lively, and they also love to ride horses and hunt. Yesterday, your Uncle Zhang sent a few horses, I think it's not bad, you pick two of your favorites, and go to run more horses with your seventh sister......"

"Alright, alright, it's almost time for breakfast, it's time for you to go to the court." Lu Hui reluctantly interrupted her husband's broken thoughts, and turned her head to ask the maids to put breakfast on the table.

The official system, laws, and customs of the Great Xia Dynasty are mostly inherited from the previous dynasty, and the court meeting is divided into three kinds, one is the Great Dynasty Meeting, which is held on the first day and the winter solstice, and is the most grand. One is the Shuowang Dynasty Meeting, which is held on the first and fifteenth days of each month, and officials above the ninth rank in Beijing participate. The remaining one is the Chang Dynasty, once every three days, and only those above the fifth grade can participate. The morning pilgrimage begins at midnight and ends around noon. Today is exactly the fifteenth, and the Shuowang Dynasty will go a little earlier than the regular court.

The morning meal has long been prepared, one person, one case, and sit separately. Eating silently, sleeping silently, the rules of the Su family brothers and sisters have been laid since childhood. After finishing the meal and washing, Su Zhoucheng took his son to the front yard, and Lu Hui took her daughter to ask her mother-in-law for peace.

When they arrived at Shou'an Hall, the mother and daughter were the last to arrive, and they met the queen of the ceremony. Wang took Su Yan into his arms, touched his little face for a while, pinched his little hands for a while, and said worriedly: "It rained last night, and the weather turned cold, but it froze you?" "This little granddaughter, needless to say, looks like a little lady in the imperial capital, and none of them can match it. But this body is the same as her mother's, and she was born delicate, which makes her feel more distressed.

Before Su Yan could speak, he heard Su Rong, who was sitting in the first place, smile and said, "Look at the little face of the tenth sister, it is white and red, and it is not cold when you think about it." ”

Wang glanced at her with disgust, "You still dare to say it?" Spring cold freezes to death! Do you dare to fold any flowers before the sun rises, and what should you do if it freezes? Aren't you afraid of drinking bitter medicine soup? As he spoke, he turned his head and blamed his eldest daughter-in-law Liu, "This girl was all spoiled by you, and she wanted to come out of it." The people around her didn't know how to persuade her, so they followed her to mess around. ”

Su Rong pursed his lips slightly: "When the sun is not rising, the flowers that have not bloomed will be folded and inserted into the bottle." ”

Liu Shi hurriedly glared at her: "You are more particular, what are the people around you for, you have to go by yourself." ”

"Of course, I have to fold the flowers for my grandmother and grandmother." Su Rong said straightforwardly.

"You!" Wang couldn't hold back any longer, the smile in his eyes came out, stretched out his hand to beckon her over, asked Su Rong to sit down on the other side of him, and nodded her forehead helplessly: "Don't allow it next time, it's the same for the girls, it's all your filial piety." ”

"Hmm." Su Rong hurriedly responded with a smile.

As early as when Su Yan came in, he saw a slender white porcelain gall bottle on the table next to his grandmother Wang, offering delicate weeping begonias, delicate and red petals, still with dewdrops, about to open but not open, just like a shy girl, drooping ruddy jade, very beautiful.

Wuniang Yunju, who was sitting next to Siniang Yunlan, thanked Su Yan delicately: "Tenth sister, thank you for sending me flowers." ”

Wang almost jumped up when he heard this, and hurriedly turned his head and asked, "Ashu, you are also like your seventh sister, and you went to fold flowers early in the morning?" The old lady looked distressed, and directly took the little girl into her arms, but when she met the girl's bright eyes in her arms, she unconsciously softened her voice: "Don't learn to be so delicate and naughty with your seventh sister, you are weak and boneless, and you just came back, no more than her running crazy every day." ”

Su Rong also said with a smile: "Yes, tenth sister." You've just come back from Wu County, and you haven't adapted to the climate of Shangdu, so be careful. ”

Su Yan smiled lightly, "This is when I got up early, Hanfang went to fold it." ”

"That's good." Wang let out a sigh of relief.

Su Rong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, the Xifu begonias in my sister's garden are about to bloom, right?" When the time comes, my sister will remember to give me two sticks. As he spoke, he inadvertently glanced at Yun Ju, and saw that she was still smiling delicately and softly, not seeing the slightest unhappiness, and sneered in his heart, this Su Yunju is becoming more and more adept. When it came to Yun Lan, who was sitting beside her, there was a hint of unhappiness in her eyes.

Banniang Yunfu asked with a smile: "Tenth sister, what flowers did you give to the fifth sister?" Let her rejoice all morning. ”

Su Yan glanced at Yun Fu in surprise, didn't Yun Ju hear everything she talked to her yesterday, what did she ask at this time? Thinking so in my heart, I still replied: "The magnolia in my courtyard was opened, and the fifth sister liked it, so I folded one and gave it to her." ”

"Oh~" Yun Fu stretched out his voice and asked with some curiosity: "I have heard that Jiangnan is an elegant place where literati and artists rush to it, and it is also a place where our talented people in Daxia come out. Ten sisters, is it that even the stones of Wu County have the fragrance of ink, and there are masterpieces of talented people on any piece of powder wall. ”

Su Yan tilted her head, and a shallow smile appeared in her watery eyes, and for a moment it seemed that the spring light in the sky was gathered in her eyes, and it seemed that the delicate weeping begonias on the side had lost their color. Yunfu, who was looking at her, couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, only to feel that she seemed to see the scene of a hundred flowers in full bloom, and even the room was brighter than just now, and said stupidly: "Ten sister, you look so good when you smile." ”

"Poof......" Su Rong laughed, she got up and walked in front of Yun Fu, half-bent over, stretched out her hand and nodded Yun Fu's forehead, and teased: "Look stupid?" I just learned that the eighth sister also loves beauty. ”

Yun Fu couldn't help but be powdered, covered her face with her hands, and turned around: "Seventh sister......"

"Don't be embarrassed, you're not the only one who looks stupid when you look at the tenth sister." Su Rong sat beside Su Yan with a smile, held her little face with both hands, looked left and right, and kept praising it: "Sure enough, as the third aunt said, our tenth sister gave birth to a fairy-like appearance, no wonder everyone is fascinated by it." ”

With such compliments, Su Yan really heard them since he was a child, and he didn't feel so shy. Stretched out his hand and pulled Su Rong, let her sit beside him, and with the choice of a topic, he diverted this paragraph. I don't want Siniang Yunlan to suddenly ask: "Ten sisters, if you want to come to the elegant place of Wu County, this flower offering is also different from the above, right?" ”

Su Yan was slightly stunned, and then smiled lightly, "It's no different, the people in the world are almost the same." ”

"Oh, yes." Su Yunlan smiled and said no more.

As soon as she interjected, the atmosphere between the little sisters was cold. Wang was originally listening to a few little girls with a smile, seeing this scene, he glanced at Yun Lan lightly, and leaned back, "It's not early, you should go to school, the director of the director, just let Ah Shu accompany me." ”

Wang immediately opened his mouth, and Liu, Luo, and Lu Hui, together with their two granddaughters-in-law and a group of little girls, hurriedly got up and saluted and retired. Su Yan keenly noticed that Liu glanced at Yun Lan, her feelings were extremely complicated, and Yun Lan's eyes were red, her red lips were pursed tightly, and her face seemed to be unwilling. When it was Su Rong, he had been smiling and groaning, and he didn't see any other feelings.

When everyone retreated, the room fell silent for a while. Wang patted Su Yan's little hand lovingly, "Sleepy or not, do you want to go to sleep for a while." In the old lady's opinion, the little girl's family is all snooze, and if she gets up so early, she will definitely be sleepy.

Su Yan shook his head and said coquettishly: "Grandma, I'm not sleepy, let's fight Shuanglu." "The old lady is over sixty years old, and her favorite sports in the past, such as horseback riding and polo, are not good to do anymore. Small games such as Shuanglu and Tibetan Hook can still be played. As for overly elegant games such as playing chess and tasting incense, the old lady didn't understand it at all, and Su Yanti didn't mention it.

"Good!" As soon as Wang heard this, he was in good spirits, and shouted to the maids to lift the table and take the chess pieces.

When you were having a good time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the house, and Wang frowned and asked very unhappily, "Who is outside?" ”

"Lady, great joy!" A woman in her fifties, dressed in a cyan Confucian skirt, walked in quickly with a happy face, and when she saw Wang's hurriedly saluting, her voice was a little sharp because she was happy: "Lady, Shiro moved to the left servant of Shangshu, and the sage specially allowed Shiro to enter the political hall to participate in political affairs!" ”
