Chapter 234: Embarrassment
Liu Ruoxi looked at Su Shi with a smile, looking forward to Su Shi's answer. It's not that she overreacted, but the relationship between Mrs. Liu and the Su family reminded her of her past life. At that time, in order to make her life in the palace better, Second Mrs. Liu always put her position very low when facing the Su family. However, no matter how much Mrs. Liu pleases her, Su has always been lukewarm to her. Now, seeing that Second Mrs. Liu has such signs in the face of the Su family, Liu Ruoxi's heart is very uncomfortable.
No matter what, she would never let Mrs. Liu bow to anyone because of her. This person naturally includes the Su family.
Liu Ruoxi's smile was gentle and sweet, and Su Shi was stunned for a moment.
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San next to her were also a little stunned, and Mrs. Liu was snuggled by Liu Ruoxi, although Liu Ruoxi spoke like this in front of everyone made her feel a little embarrassed, but it was more about ironing.
"You kid, in front of the princess, you still love to be coquettish like this." Old Lady Liu glanced at Su Shi and said with a smile.
"The princess will not blame me." Liu Ruoxi still smiled, still looking at Su.
Su Shi also came back to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but look at Liu Ruoxi seriously. No matter what she thinks of Liu Ruoxi in her heart, the Su family has her due self-cultivation as a princess.
"Auntie is right." Su Shi said, and couldn't help but glance at Second Mrs. Liu, and a trace of imperceptible envy flashed in her eyes.
"I'm afraid that every child in this world thinks that his mother is the best." When Mrs. Liu saw what Su said, she also laughed and said, "The princess doesn't laugh at Auntie. Auntie, this child has an upright temperament, and after getting along for a long time, the princess will know. ”
"How can the princess blame our three girls!" Mrs. Liu San smiled and quipped, "I'm afraid that the princess will be too late to hurt our three girls." If our three girls are not coquettish in front of the princess, who else can they be coquettish in front of? ”
Mrs. Liusan's words were extremely pleasant, and everyone laughed. The originally somewhat cold atmosphere was washed away, and at this time, it seemed that the Su family and the daughters of the Liu family were more like two families who wanted to be close. Su Shi beckoned Liu Ruoxi to sit beside him again.
While they were talking, Su Qingnuan whispered to Liu Ruoyuan on the side and didn't know what to say, so they missed it. At this time, seeing Su's smile and Su's demeanor looking at Liu Ruoxi, Su Qingnuan suddenly had a sense of crisis. Su Qingnuan stopped talking to Liu Ruoyuan and came to Su's side again.
"What did your aunt say about being so happy?" Su Qingnuan asked with a smile.
"Miss Su Qi is a rare guest in our house." Mrs. Liu San said, "Miss Su Qi's talent and character are worthy of being the niece of the princess. I take the liberty of asking, has Miss Su Qi ever been married? ”
Old Lady Liu and Second Lady Liu both looked at Su Qingnuan. With a kind smile on his face, he obviously had a good impression of Su Qingnuan, and he was very interested in the topic brought up by Mrs. Liu San.
Su Qingnuan was looked at like this by everyone, and when she was asked this question in person, her face flushed.
"Her father and mother baby her, and I can't bear her, and I haven't said anything about others." Su replied.
"Miss Su Qi's appearance is naturally to pick and choose a suitable one." Mrs. Liu said. "I don't know which family has such a blessing. The princess doesn't remember Jiang Hanlin, he has a grandson who is now at the age of marriage......"
"There is also a young talent ...... my sister-in-law's clan," Mrs. Liu San also said with a smile, "Naturally, I don't dare to rob the old lady of ......."
Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San rushed to be a matchmaker for Su Qingnuan. Liu Ruoxi sat next to Mrs. Liu. Squinted slightly. In fact, Su Qingnuan lived in the palace like this, and after adding the successive events, Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San also felt something. Want. Mrs. Liu also spoke in front of Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu. Acting as a matchmaker for Su Qingnuan in this way is for her sake.
If Su Qingnuan can get married as soon as possible, there will indeed be a lot less trouble. But I'm afraid that Su Qingnuan has other plans. In this way, observing her attitude towards the proposal can also be figured out. Therefore, Liu Ruoxi only didn't speak, but looked at Su Shi and Su Qingnuan.
Su Qingnuan's face became more and more red, but not only shy, but faintly seemed to add some anger.
Su Shi listened carefully to the words of Old Lady Liu and Third Mrs. Liu, but when he turned his head to look at Su Qingnuan's face, Su Shi changed his words about to be exported.
Mrs. Lao and the third lady were enthusiastic about it. …… Let's talk about it slowly......"
Su Shi said this, naturally it was very safe. But Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu San were both sensitively aware of the change in Su's attitude, originally Su listened to them to tell Su Qingnuan about matchmaking, and the other party was also from a family, so they were quite happy, but in the end, they obviously lacked enthusiasm.
Something did not go awry.
The three mothers-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Liu family quickly exchanged glances, and immediately put down the topic and talked about other things.
Seeing that the hour was approaching, Mrs. Liu got up, and everyone accompanied Su to the warm pavilion in the garden. Today's banquet for the female guests is set up in the garden warm pavilion, and the eldest princess and others are already sitting in the warm pavilion, accompanied by Zhao and others. Mrs. Liu and others accompanied the Su family, and everyone inevitably greeted each other again, and the eldest princess sat down with the Su family, accompanied by Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoyuan, Liu Ruojuan and Liu Ruoshan were all led to the seat next to Mrs. Liu.
“…… The princess is so blessed," the eldest princess said to the Su family with a smile, and glanced at Liu Ruoxi, "Such a good third girl, it is difficult to find a second one in the capital, I originally thought about it, but you took the lead." I have to say hello to the princess. ”
Su Shi laughed, and Second Mrs. Liu was busy and praised the eldest princess.
"If you want to say that you can compare to the three girls, that is, our seven girls." The eldest princess smiled at Su Qingnuan, who was sitting with the Su family, "...... The double walls of the capital, but they are all on the palace, and they are occupied by the princess. How can this be strange to look at that? ”
"The eldest prince is really looking greedy, and Miss Su Qi is still waiting for the boudoir." Mrs. Liu San walked over from the side, and just when she heard the words of the eldest princess, she said with a smile.
Liu Ruoxi is married to Rong Chenghan, but Su Qingnuan is not, and Han Qing, the son of the eldest princess, is also unmarried. However, it seems that these two families have never thought of getting married, so even if everyone has such a thought in their hearts, no one has ever brought it up. Moreover, in private, everyone talked about it, and everyone knew that Han Qing was a gentleman, and Su Qingnuan's vision was extremely high, so no one was willing to mention it.
Mrs. Liu's words are spicy, and it is not appropriate for Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Liu to say such things, but it is up to her to say that she can advance and retreat freely, and others can't blame her.
Although Su Qingnuan lives in the palace, she is nominally temporary. The three brothers of Rong Chenghan in the palace either got married a long time ago, or they were married, Su Qingnuan will marry in the future, and he will definitely leave the palace. The eldest princess's words were a little inappropriate, especially in the ears of people who knew a lot of inside information, and it was even more provocative. Now Mrs. Liusan's words are against the eldest princess's army.
"That's a reminder to me." The eldest princess's face changed slightly, and then she returned to normal, "Seven girls, why don't you just follow me." ”
After doing this repeatedly, Su Qingnuan's face was already red. Somehow, she also lost her previous dexterity today, and only lowered her head at the moment, as if she was very shy.
Seeing that Su Qingnuan was like this, Su Shi was busy and spoke up. The eldest princess squinted her eyes and looked at Su Qingnuan, and the smile on her face became more and more meaningful.
"I found out today that our seven girls turned out to be shy."
At this time, the daughter-in-law who was already in charge of the house came in with the little girl, removed the refreshments from the table, and put them on the banquet. Liu Ruoxi got up, took some excerpts of the play, and sent them to the Su family first, and the Su family and the eldest princess gave in, and then ordered one, and then the eldest princess also ordered one, and then the old lady Liu.
Everyone eats, drinks and watches plays, sometimes laughing and talking, and the banquet is also happy. Liu Ruoji sat next to Mrs. Liu, and she was in a good mood. Su Qingnuan sat diagonally opposite, but the smile on her face was not as natural as usual, and occasionally a gloomy light flashed in her eyes.
Mrs. Liu San also talked about the wives and grandmothers at the banquet over there, everyone was happy, and they didn't care for a while, Liu Ruoyuan and Liu Ruojuan retreated from the table one after another.
When the banquet was over, the guests said goodbye one after another, and the Su family took Su Qingnuan, as well as the eldest princess, Zhao and others all stayed, and everyone went to Mrs. Liu's house to talk. Zhao found an opportunity and took Liu Ruoxi's hand.
“…… Big girl, these days go by quickly. It's a pity for my two silly boys...... Born two years late......"
"Liu Tong and Liu He are both blessed children." Mrs. Liu said with a smile.
"Hey, what's the blessing, it's serious to be able to marry a daughter-in-law sooner, so that I can worry less." Zhao said, and chatted with Mrs. Liu about something else.
Zhao watched Liu Ruoxi grow up, she didn't have the idea of wanting Liu Ruoxi to be her daughter-in-law in her heart, but now that Liu Ruoxi is married, she can only break off such thoughts. For this reason, Zhao was very melancholy. Fortunately, she is also an open-minded person, and she really loves Liu Ruoxi, so she threw it away.
"You girls go play by yourself, you don't have to stay here with me." Su Shi said to Su Qingnuan beside him at this time, while signaling Su Qingnuan to find Liu Ruoxi. I don't know why, today, Su's attitude towards Liu Ruoxi has changed subtly, and it seems that he still wants Su Qingnuan to be closer to Liu Ruoxi.
"You and the fourth girl, lead your seventh sister to sit on your side." When Mrs. Liu heard this, she hurriedly said to Liu Ruoxi.
Liu Ruoxi nodded in agreement, and as soon as she got up, she heard the sound of footsteps outside, and the little girl opened the curtain, and saw Mrs. Liu walking in from outside with Liu Ruoyuan. Seeing Mrs. Liu coming, Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu's faces changed slightly. (To be continued......)
