The next day, Su Xi wrote a letter on the warping case, asking people to send it to Mr. Gu Tong in Qingshui Mountain, inviting Mr. Gu to live in the general's mansion and go back after the refugee matter was resolved. She still remembered that Mr. Gu said that he would not go out of the mountain, and thought that she would have to go through a lot of words to persuade him, but unexpectedly Mr. Gu led the child to the house the next day.

Su Xi was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly asked someone to arrange Mr. Gu's residence.

There are two cross-courtyards in the open-air incense, Mr. Dong Lan Dong lives in the west cross-courtyard, and Mr. Gu enters the east cross-courtyard.

Although Mr. Gu only lived for a month, Su Xi was still quite concerned, and asked Mr. in the past if there was anything else he lacked. He also said: "Sir, just rest assured to live here, if you don't have anything to tell me, I will let someone prepare." ”

Su Xi knew that Mr. Gu liked to drink Maofeng tea, and asked people to send this year's newly picked Emei Maofeng and a complete set of Ruyao tea sets, which can be described as meticulous.

In the past month, Su Xi was recuperating at home while learning the piano with Mr. Gu, but he was frightened by the refugee incident, but he hardly went out much. Soon the wounds on her back and legs were all healed, and there were no scars left, and she looked still the same as before, white and tender and smooth as white sugar cheese.

The day after tomorrow is the birthday of the eldest princess of Shouchang, and the Su family's general's mansion and the governor's mansion have received invitations.

Su Xi didn't go in her previous life, although she was soft, but she was insulted like Princess Wanping, and she also had backbone, and she never stepped into the princess again, so she missed the song "Spring River Flower Moonlight Night" played by Fu Yi.

This time, Su Xi changed his mind and decided to follow the Yin family to attend the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Shouchang.

The fifth girl, Su Lingrong, is now in the boudoir, and the marriage date between her and the second son of the Hou Mansion of Qing'an has been agreed, in February next year, and she was punished by the Yin family to go to the ancestral hall to reflect, and she must not be able to go out. The sixth girl, Su Lingyun, is free, and on the day of the eldest princess's birthday banquet, she deliberately dressed up brightly and followed behind the second lady Guo.

Also, after the marriage of the five girls in the house is decided, it will be her turn, her mother-in-law does not help her see others, she can only rely on her own efforts.

On the other side, Su Lingran, the eighth girl from the Governor's Mansion, also went out today.

The two families get together, but it is rare to be lively.

Su Xi, Su Lingyun and Su Lingran sat in the same carriage with wheels and drove towards the princess's mansion.

Su Lingran wore an embroidered silk shirt today, with a five-color plum light red skirt on the lower body, which made her even more lively and pretty. She smiled and said: "The fourth sister is about to get married, and she hasn't even gone out recently, so I went back to the big room to look for her, and I saw her embroidering mandarin ducks and playing in the water purse." Hey, if the fourth sister also gets married, I'll be the only one left in the house. ”

Su Xi bent her eyes and said, "If Eighth Sister finds it boring, you can often come to the General's Mansion to find me." ”

Su Xi remembered that Qin Xiu, the fiancé of the fourth sister Su Lingyin, was a good match, and after they got married, the two of them were in harmony with each other, and Su Xi was envious for a while at that time.

The sixth girl, Su Lingyun, tried to squeeze into the topic of the two, and said, "That's it, the eighth sister came to play with me and Sister Xi'er, anyway, the two of us are close, only one street apart." ”

Because of Su Lingrong's incident, the eighth girl, Su Lingran, didn't have a good impression of the second room of the General's Mansion, so she didn't show joy when she heard this, but said: "Forget it, the sixth sister invited me, who knows if it's Longtan or Tiger's Den inside." ”

This is an allusion to what Su Lingrong did to Su Xi.

The Governor's Mansion knows a little about this. Because the General's Mansion deliberately concealed it for the sake of Su Xi's reputation, it became "Sister Shu wants to harm her sister, and she has a private relationship with the second son of the Qing'an Hou Mansion".

Of course, this is just the people of the Su family who know that the old lady has given a gag order, this is a family ugly, and whoever dares to say it will never be spared.

Su Lingyun's face really changed.

*

After arriving at the princess's mansion, the group went to the flower hall first.

Su Xi followed behind the Yin family and saluted the eldest princess of Shouchang, and said the birthday words to celebrate her birthday, and then retreated to the side.

The eldest princess of Shouchang is well-maintained, and she is clearly almost forty years old, but her cheeks are plump and radiant, and she looks more like a young beauty of thirty years old. It's just that the eyes of people are a little arrogant, and they don't look very easy to get along with.

The eldest princess of Shouchang doesn't like to be noisy, so there are not many people here today, and most of them are noble families in the capital.

Rao is like this, and there are still a lot of girls' families.

The eldest princess of Shouchang asked the lord of Wanping Weng to take everyone to the backyard Luhua Garden for a walk, just as the peony flowers have bloomed recently, and everyone can enjoy the flowers.

When they arrived at Luhua Garden, Wanping Weng and Fu Yi were standing in the pavilion, and there were several girls standing around, with raw and familiar faces, looking happy. The lord of Wanping Weng is an idle one, and he was spoiled by the eldest princess of Shouchang, and he said that he would do whatever he wanted, and he didn't think it was interesting to enjoy the flowers at this time, so he mentioned that everyone played a game together.

Fu Yi said that he wrote poems, Li Anyi said that he played drumming and passed the flower order, and also said that there were pot throwing, flying flower orders, etc., and so on.

At this time, someone asked, "Sister Xi, what do you say we should play?" ”

Su Xi was watching Yao Huang Wei Zi in the courtyard, and suddenly he was nominated, and turned his head to look at the person who spoke, it was Song Keqing, the third girl from the Zhenguo Mansion. Fang Cai only cared about talking to Yu Baotong and Tang Wan, and didn't notice that Song Keqing was also present, seeing her now, Su Xi was slightly stunned, and then smiled: "I think guessing the order is good, it's simple and interesting." ”

This Song Keqing is none other than the person who will become her second sister-in-law in the future.

If I'm not mistaken, the two will be married at the beginning of next year. Song Keqing was well raised by her family, easy-going, generous and smiling, and did not lose the softness of her daughter's family. After she married into the Su family, she also got along very well with the Yin family, her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious, and she often helped the Yin family take care of the inner house, compared to Li Xiangru's sister-in-law, Song Keqing was much better.

is a quiet and cold person like Su Zhi, and over time he was also warmed up by Song Keqing, the two of them were harmonious, and later gave birth to a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses.

Su Xi's impression of this second sister-in-law is still very good, although they haven't had much intersection yet.

In the end, the lord of Wanping Weng decided to play the drum and pass the flower order, today there are both drums and subordinates, so there is no need for Wei Shizi to replace the drum with a flute. A few little girls sat down and played a few rounds under the tree that was spread out, and Su Xi's luck was that the peony flower never fell into her hands once.

Wan Ping Weng said: "It's not interesting to just play like this, it's better for us to change the rules." If this flower falls into someone's hands, everyone will test her a question at will, if it is answered, it will pass, if it can't be answered, then do one thing at everyone's request, what do you think? ”

Fu Yi said with a smile: "The idea here is interesting, but what if we can't do it?" ”

Wan Ping Weng said: "Sister Yi, don't worry, if it's too much, you won't mention it." But if you mention it, you have to do it, but you are not allowed to cheat. The second half of the sentence is addressed to everyone.

Everyone nodded in agreement.

It's just a bit unfortunate, before the drumming and flower passing order began, there was a maid wearing a pink and purple skirt coming over, attached to the ear of the lord of Wanping Weng and said: "Lord Weng, after the prince of Jin, the prince of Yu and the eldest prince congratulated the eldest princess on her birthday, they said that they would come to Luhua Garden to see the peony, and the eldest princess asked the slave maid to lead you to the side of the Golden Lotus Courtyard to avoid it." ”
