321 Back Garden Middle One
"Miss, Miss Hou Ye Qin and all the distinguished guests went to prepare the back garden to enjoy the flowers, and the banquet will be held in the back garden later." The person who came to inform Lan Susu was not Mama Ma next to the eldest lady, but the person next to Lan An, this person was also the attendant who informed Lan Susu to go to the flower hall before, because it was the same person both times, so Lan Susu couldn't help but glance at this attendant, he was the kind of person who looked very ordinary, and he was not a particularly noticeable type in the crowd. It can be seen that the father trusts this person very much, although there is no special expression between the master and the servant, but Lan Susu has this feeling.
"Okay, you can go back and tell your father, and we'll go over right away." Lan Susu nodded, thinking that now that his father had asked the eldest lady to properly handle the matter called Ai UN, what he had to do now was to make people not see the slightest abnormality, so that even if someone wanted to provoke a panic, it would not necessarily be useful.
"Yes, my subordinates understand." The man nodded, saluted, and took his leave. Her move made Lan Susu feel very warm, because this person was not a slave of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, but his father's subordinate, maybe his cronies looked at him when he looked at him, his eyes were also very friendly, which made Lan Susu feel very relieved, in this family, his father was not the only one who sincerely welcomed him back.
So the group got up and prepared to go to the back garden, Lan Susu naturally walked among them, he didn't think there was anything wrong with walking among them, these people were his friends and guests. Even if there are men and women, but now with the permission of their father, it is not that the two are alone in private. In this way, Lan Susu didn't feel that there would be any embarrassment, but he really didn't think that walking in this group of people who could be said to be the best in the whole world would also cause her trouble, because her stunning appearance naturally attracted the jealousy of others.
If a person is almost a little better than the people around him, then it will definitely arouse the jealousy of the people around him, and if he exceeds the people around him too much, he will naturally only make others envious. In fact, there are many beauties in the entire Fengdu City, especially among the ladies. Everyone was already secretly competing with each other, in the previous time, Lan Luoling had been far ahead, and now Lan Susu descended out of thin air and suddenly surpassed Lan Luoling like a legend. This made those who were jealous of Lan Luoling before start to laugh at Lan Luoling, but they did not thank Lan Susu for this, on the contrary, they were even more jealous of Lan Susu, thinking that a character like Lan Susu was just a businessman. Even if she has the identity of Miss Yongping Houfu. They also feel that there is no need to admit it, because Lan Susu was born of a concubine, although Yongping Hou had raised her as a flat wife when the concubine died, but after all, she was only a flat wife, not something that Ming Media was able to compare with the wife of the main room who was married to three media and six hires, so even if Lan Susu is now the eldest daughter of the Yongping Marquis Mansion, others will not think that Lan Susu is a woman who is truly talented and beautiful, plus some remarks between Lan Luoling and his cousin among the young ladies before. makes everyone believe even more that Lan Susu is just a straw bale lady with luck and beauty.
Men and women are treated separately, even though they are held in the back garden. In this way, the male and female guests are only allowed to sit down and drink separately, and they can also see each other, so this kind of banquet is not only to make friends with the host, but also to show each family their children to other nobles, so as long as there is such an opportunity, they must bring their children to dress up and attend.
In the back garden, Lan Susu and his friends separated, everyone went to the reception of male and female guests, at this time Lan Luoling was swimming in the lake with a few eldest sisters and young ladies who were good friends with him, they all heard that Lan Luoling had to retreat because of Lan Susu's return and could only embroider and write in his own small yard, like a disguised house arrest treatment, which made them all very dissatisfied with Lan Susu, after all, these young ladies are among the best young ladies in Fengdu City, Among them, there is Gao Xian, the concubine of the king of Anning, who is a veritable royal noblewoman and a real royal lord.
The last Qixi Palace banquet when she was accompanying the Queen Mother to incense in Wutai Mountain, so she had never seen Lan Susu at all, but after coming back, she quickly heard the rumors of Lan Susu, for this Linglong county lord who appeared out of thin air, she naturally looked down on it, especially Lan Susu has both virtue and talent, advance and retreat, etiquette and thoughtfulness, even his father is praised, which makes her very difficult to accept, even if she is usually very fond of her mother, she wants her to contact Lan Su more today, Tell him that there will be benefits in the future, but Gao Xian is a woman with a very strong personality, she used to dislike Lan Luoling very much, and often went against Lan Luoling, but after doing it right countless times, she slowly accepted that Lan Luoling was a woman with real talent and learning, and it also made her feel that she and Lan Luoling did not know each other, but he didn't know that Lan Luoling was just profitable to associate with her, after all, she was a real royal noblewoman.
After Lan Susu and Gao Changgong and his party separated, they were ready to walk towards the courtyard where the female guests were received, but at this time, Yan Xueyi was still by Lan Susu's side, and it was already strange that Yan Xueyi's sex was Lan Susu, after all, Lan Susu already knew before he saw him, and his father-in-law was famous for doing his own thing, which was the case in the Xue Yan country, although he was only a foreign envoy in the Fengchen country, but after all, he was an important minister of another country, Naturally, it is also very preferential.
"Father-in-law, don't you go to the place where you receive male guests, this is the back garden, if you meet a woman with other intentions, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Although the soul of Lan Susu comes from another world, there are not a few people in this world who want to get something for nothing, and it is a common phenomenon to cling to the powerful in such a society. Especially if his father-in-law is the kind of person who is informal, such a character is the easiest to be used by those who have a heart. In particular, Lan Susu has been rolling in the family and political circles earlier, and he understands the truth that he must guard against villains and women.
"Naturally, I am your father-in-law. If I am too casual at this time, it will only make it difficult for you, I will not make it difficult for you, but I have a few words I want to say to you, but it is inconvenient for you to have people around you all the time. Yan Xueyi looked at the little daughter she had always cared about, and her heart was full of love, especially today in the Yongping Marquis Mansion, something extraordinary must have happened, and such a time may become her biggest crisis. Although he is by his side, there are some things that he can't do, all he can do is to help her silently in secret, but today he doesn't even know what happened, and he really can't do it. That's why I unconsciously want to follow her side, and I've been protecting her, if it weren't for the child's reminder just now, I'm afraid I'm just unconsciously following her today, but this child is stronger than I imagined!
"Father-in-law. You can rest assured. Nothing will happen today, even if someone is going to be unlucky, it won't be your daughter's. Lan Susu looked at Yan Xueyi and said firmly, he knew that Yan Xueyi, who knew nothing at such a time, must be worried about himself, this is not the Snow Yan Country, and he will not be able to grasp the news in the first time, so he also cares about himself, this kind of Yan Xueyi makes Lan Susu feel warm in his heart.
"You kid. When you do everything, you are alone, and your stepfather is by your side, don't you plan to rely on it all of a sudden? Yan Xueyi looked at Lan Susu, whose eyes were determined, but there were mixed tastes in his heart. This child is still so stubborn, just like the eldest sister, what is always buried in his heart and not said, so he will suffer so much.
"Father-in-law, in fact, you really don't need to worry so much, after all, I have just set foot in the aristocratic circle in Fengdu City, naturally I will be a little embarrassed, who made me live a good life at the beginning The emperor gave me a noble identity, so naturally someone will look for me, but father-in-law, you should also remember, before the lord of Linglong, I was Lan Susu first, the head of the family who listened to the sea and listened to the waves, and then the lord of Linglong County, those people are just boudoir women, and I am afraid that my foresight is only less than one-tenth of mine, This is simply a fight without suspense, and the stepfather does not have to worry about it. ”
In fact, Lan Susu is a very low-key person, so she doesn't bother to say it at all, she cares more about how to do it, Lan Susu has always been a doer, but the person in front of him is his own blood relatives, now his eyes and expressions all reveal his concern for himself, she knows that Yan Xueyi himself is not a person who cares about things around him, what he cares about is just his relatives, This is also the reason why he still kept calm after knowing that his eldest sister was killed, because he still has his own existence, he feels that he has lost his mother, but there is still himself, compared with the mother who has been lost, he is still in the world is more important, so at such a time to face a relative who is so gentle with him, even Lan Susu will say a few words to reassure him.
"Child, do you already know what the eldest lady is looking for Yongping Hou for today?" Yan Xueyi looked at Lan Susu and said with a serious face, yes, how did he forget that this child is Lan Susu, the head of the family who listens to the sea and listens to the waves, and then the lord of Linglong, how did he forget that this child started doing business at the age of five, and when he was twelve years old, he had the courage to go to sea to trade, and now he is the Linglong county lord who is favored by the emperor of Fengchen Kingdom.
"Father-in-law, in fact, this is not a big thing, it's just that a big maid sent by the eldest lady to the second lady Lan Luoling died." Lan Susu knew that if he didn't tell Yan Xueyi, he would keep worrying, Lan Susu already had a hunch, that is, this matter would be a big thing and a small matter, even if he told Yan Xueyi, there was nothing bad, on the contrary, maybe it would be better like this.
"This matter is very strange, you should be careful, although the Yongping Marquis Mansion has unified its attitude to hide this matter, but it may not be too easy." After listening to Lan Susu's words, Yan Xueyi didn't feel that there was anything wrong with how she could know these news at such a fast time, in his eyes, since this little daughter of his own was able to do business in the entire Tianyue Continent and even overseas in such a short period of ten years, it was not difficult to know some news in this small Yongping Marquis Mansion.
"My daughter understands, I speculate that today's incident is just a small fuse, they are not going to do anything at today's banquet, but to plant a seed of instability in the Yongping Marquis Mansion today, although the death is just a small maid, but sometimes the little people will be better than the big people a thousand times better if they use it well." Lan Susu nodded, Lan Susu already had some eyebrows about the purpose of the person who killed Caijuan, although she felt that other things would happen when she saw the sky, but it must have nothing to do with Caijuan's affairs, but she was afraid that it would not be so smooth in the future.
Lan Susu is standing with Yan Xueyi in the back garden of the Yongping Marquis Mansion by the artificial lake to speak, there is a row of willow trees planted by the lake, the two stand under the willow trees to talk, although there is no ambiguous scene, but let the people who see it can't help but feel that this is really a very beautiful picture, the willow trees are swaying in the wind, the handsome men and women standing under the tree is already a fascinating world painting, at this time the wind on the lake blows, a willow leaf was blown between Lan Susu's bun, she herself did not notice, The inkstone snow suit standing in front of her naturally stretched out her hand to gently pluck the fallen leaf and play with it in her hand.
Lan Susu has no special feeling for such an intimate performance as Yan Xueyi, after all, the two of them are relatives, at this time Lan Luoling was taking her friends to swim in the lake to fish, naturally she saw the intimate actions between Lan Susu and Yan Xueyi, at this time, a girl standing at the bow of the boat wearing purple clothes saw the appearance of the two people, and turned to Lan Luoling beside her.
"Ling'er, who is the woman talking to the Snow King under the willow tree by the lake?" (To be continued......)
