The Duke of Yasukuni knew his son very well, and when he saw the appearance of his eldest son, he knew that he was still pregnant, and he sighed secretly and said that he was relieved. Su Zhoude restrained his thoughts, did nothing, and coaxed Yasukuni Gong to be happy, before leaving the study and going to Liu's room with a depressed face.

Over there, Liu heard that her husband had punished her concubine, and she was still wondering with her nurse: "I don't know what went wrong, even Siniang was punished." For a while, I thought of my daughter again, "Peach, go and tell Ah Yue to let her go to her father less these days." ”

Tao'er just went to Su Rong's courtyard here, and Su Zhoude entered the courtyard over there. The spleen girl in the courtyard hurriedly saluted and said goodbye, and Liu also greeted her when she heard it in the house, "It's rare that my husband is idle today, so I didn't go out for a walk." ”

Su Zhoude didn't have a good face at his wife, and only after the maid served tea did he say, "I have something to tell you." ”

Liu had already seen that his face was not good, but her husband didn't say it, and she didn't ask. After everyone in the house went down, Su Zhoude let himself show a gloomy look and told his wife what the Duke of Yasukuni meant.

Liu was not very happy, so that he didn't mind as much as Su Zhoude, so he only smiled and recited the Buddha: "This is better, I am really reluctant to enter the palace, what is a good place to go in the palace." She glanced at her husband and said tentatively: "Ah Yue is not too young, I think the eleven lang of the Lu family is good." "The Lu family has a strict family style, and they are very strict with the disciples in the clan, and there are few gentlemen. In this generation, Lu Ji is both talented and beautiful, and he is the best son-in-law candidate in the eyes of all the noblewomen in Shangdu.

Su Zhoude sneered twice, "Except for the Lu family, there is no good son?" "The Lu family has been a master of the Son of Heaven for several generations, and half of the officials in the court and central government are from the Lu Family Academy. The so-called prosperity and decline, the Lu family has not had a good life for a few years. Uncertainty will be given to the emperor to liquidate him.

Seeing him like this, the Liu family couldn't speak anymore, the husband and wife each brought tea and sat silently, the room was quiet, and after a long time, Su Zhoude spoke, "It's been some time since the fourth brother's family came back, what do you think of Shi Niang?" ”

Liu didn't know what her husband meant, so she could only speak cautiously: "Shi Niang is a very smart child. ”

"Hehe, it's not smart." Su Zhoude sneered twice, "You will also take care of Siniang and them in the future, don't let them be bullied by Shiniang." ”

Liu almost wanted to sneer, she didn't care enough for a few concubines, they took care of them every day compared with their own daughters, but if there was a little bit of dissatisfaction, they dared to sue their husbands.

Su Yan has been a little upset recently, and she found that the fourth sister didn't know what was wrong, and often wandered around her small courtyard with nothing to do. is not very yin and yang when she speaks, but she teaches her with a sister's style every day.

Just today, my uncle's friend returned to Beijing with his family, and my uncle held a banquet in the house to catch his friend's family. Before the people came, several of their little sisters sat together and chatted, and Su Yunlan suddenly said to her: "Tenth sister, there is a guest at home today, it is better for you to change your dress." This ......" she looked Su Yan up and down, covered her lips and chuckled, "It's a little rude." ”

Impolite? Where does this begin? Su Yan looked down at herself, the apricot red big-sleeved cardigan, and the plain white ink painting skirt with ink chrysanthemum, there was nothing wrong with it? After looking at herself, Su Yan only thought that Su Yunlan was nervous, and didn't bother to pay attention to her.

Wu Niang Su Yunju said softly, "Fourth sister, I think the tenth sister is very good." ”

Su Yunlan held a fan and half-covered her face, and laughed softly: "The ten sisters have been back for several months, why don't you know the fashion of our Shangdu." You only have two painted skirts. As far as I know, even if our father is a lady from a poor family, it takes six Luo skirts to meet guests. Not to mention them, even the second-class girls in my courtyard have to have four skirts to be considered a little good. She almost said that Su Yan's outfit was even shabby than the maid in her mansion, and it was not at all commensurate with the noble girl of the Guogong Mansion.

"Also, I recently saw that you always have gold ornaments, and you haven't even ...... emeralds on it" Su Yunlan seemed to have caught some handle from Su Yan, and she couldn't stop as soon as she opened her mouth, "If the tenth sister doesn't know the fashion of Shangdu, come and ask me, don't ......" While covering her lips and chuckling, a pair of wonderful eyes also deliberately looked at Su Yan.

Su Yunfu listened to Su Yunlan's words, nodded in agreement, and said with some worry: "Ten sisters come to ask me." ”

Su Rong looked at the plain white silk dress on Su Yan's body, smiled faintly, and did not speak.

Su Yanken ignored Su Yunlan, she can wear whatever she likes, and what everyone wants to use has something to do with her? Su Yunlan kept chattering, and finally annoyed her, and raised her eyebrows at Su Yunlan and chuckled, "Two skirts are not something that anyone can wear, such as your ......" glanced at Su Yunlan's slightly rounded face and figure, her red lips opened lightly, and slowly spit out two words, "Fourth sister." ”

Although the aesthetics of Daxia are very loose, and many people appreciate the mellow beauty, most people still like women with slender waists like willows. And people have always been more yearning for what they don't have. Su Yunlan was very dissatisfied with her thin waist, and when Su Yan said this, her face turned red and white for a while, and it took a long time to squeeze out a sentence, "The tenth sister is not taught, and I have nothing to say, but it's a pity that the reputation of the fourth uncle and the fourth aunt has been ruined." ”

Su Yunlan was so angry with Su Yan that she no longer talked to her, but set up her own clothes with Su Yunju, what kind of dress was specially made for her by Auntie, and the skirt was made of materials that Daddy gave her. There is also a little emerald jewelry on her head, which was also given to her by Daddy that day. While talking, he looked at Su Rong with his eyes, and his pride was overflowing.

Su Rong knew that her father had been very good to Sister Su Yunlan in the past two days, and he had given me a lot of clothes and jewelry, and Su Yunlan had been showing off in front of her for many days for this. She raised her hand to comb her sideburns, the pearl hanging from her ears swayed slightly, and Su Yunlan's voice instantly weakened by several points. She looked sideways at Su Yunlan and smiled softly, "Fourth sister's Liuxian dress today is really beautiful." ”

Su Yunlan no longer spoke, her clothes today are not as good as the pair of pendants brought by Su Rong, no matter how much she says, it is just a humiliation.

Fortunately, today's guests arrived soon, and the person surnamed Qi, the current Zuo Shilang of the Ministry of Rites, is a good friend of Su Zhoude, the son of the Yasukuni Gong, and his father is a friend of the Yasukuni Gong, so he came to the door today, and the owners of the Yasukuni Mansion are all there.

Qi Shilang brought his wife, three sons and one daughter, and this family looks very similar. Qi Shilang himself has a white face and a slight beard, a rather round figure, a very gentle and amiable smile, and a slow and soft speech. His wife Zhang and Qi Shilang are very husband and wife, with a round face, subtle laugh lines at the corners of the eyes, and the corners of the lips are raised, which is very comfortable to look at.

The three young men knew at a glance that they were Qi Shilang's own sons, as if they were printed in a mold with their father, and stood up with Qi Shilang, like four standing winter melons. In the Qi family, the only one who can see the waist is their youngest daughter. The little girl was about fourteen or five years old, just like her mother, with a round face, round eyes, a round nose, and a small mouth in the shape of an ingot, which looked very lively and cute.

After the two sides met, Qi Shilang's eyes were glued to Su Yan's skirt, and he couldn't move at all. He rubbed his hands and asked with a flattering expression: "Niece of the Su family, the poems and paintings on your skirt are written by Taifu himself?" ”

Su Yan nodded with a smile, "Yes, Uncle Qi has good eyesight." "Her grandfather's poetry, calligraphy and painting are unique, but unfortunately he refuses to allow people, in the early years, there were calligraphy and painting to increase people, these young people refused to write, and most of the daytime studies were burned, and I don't know how many people held a thousand taels of gold in order to get only a few words.

Qi Shilang is a senior brain-dead fan of Mrs. Lu, who was mixed up as a registered disciple by means of stalking, and once changed clothes with the scholar in order to get the teacher's words, trying to sneak into the study, so as to get two bad calligraphy and paintings written by Mrs. Lu, and was caught red-handed by the prince and Su Zhoucheng, and he was fat.

It was still Mrs. Lu who saw his sincerity and wrote a sketch with him, which he regarded as a family heirloom, and no one was allowed to move.

Today he suddenly saw the teacher's masterpiece on a little girl's skirt, if he didn't have his senses, he would definitely have to use the means of the year to let Su Yan sell him the skirt.

Su Zhoucheng moved his steps without a trace, blocking the wolf eyes of Qi Shilang looking at his daughter's skirt. Qi Shilang subconsciously changed his position, thinking that he couldn't get the skirt, and it was good to look at it twice. After his eyes were blocked again, he raised his head angrily and wanted to scold, just in front of Su Zhoucheng's smiling eyes, he said "hehe" twice, shrunk his neck, and stood back to his wife very aggrieved.

Zhang's was so embarrassed that he couldn't put his smile on his face, and he couldn't wait to beat his husband to death when he saw something related to Mrs. Lu.

"This is Shi Niang, she really deserves to be the granddaughter of Mr." Even if Zhang's return to Beijing is still short, he has a general understanding of what happened in Shangdu during this time.

Su Yan smiled, "Aunt Qi has won the award." ”

Zhang is very sorry, the girl in front of him may be favored by the royal family, otherwise he can ask for it.

When Liu saw her husband and Qi Shilang entering, she also affectionately pulled Zhang's affection, "Please come to the house." ”

The young and the young were orderly, a few little ladies fell last, Su Rong also took Qi Niangzi's hand, and asked her about the trivial things on the way, Su Yunju followed Su Yunlan's side, lowered her voice and said to herself: "The skirt drawn by Mrs. Lu himself is also unique in the whole Great Xia, it's good to have such a grandfather." ”

She looked sideways at Su Yunlan and asked with a smile, "Did you say yes, fourth sister." ”

Su Yunlan's face turned blue all of a sudden, she glared at Su Yunju viciously, bit her lip, and didn't speak.

Su Yunfu quietly pulled her sister's sleeve, but she heard what Auntie said that Daddy intended to give her sister to Qi Shilang's concubine. Today's reception banquet has another meaning.

Su Yunlan took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in her heart, pursed her lips, and then bent out a decent smile, "No, the tenth sister is so enviable." ”
