Chapter 281: The Distinguished Guest is Coming
However, as a lady and the future wife of the prince, even if she is for the prince, she has to fight for such a breath; So, even if there was no grandmother in her ear, she would have cleaned herself up and felt comfortable that day.
The next day, it was still early, so Mrs. Su sent the refined and experienced maid beside her to wait in Magnolia Garden; Su Nianyu naturally can't get up as late as in the past, and she sings the leading role today, so she must be fully prepared.
So, she stood in the middle of the room in a proper manner, and the maids and maids changed into plain clothes; Then he was hugged and sat in front of the dresser and combed a double-ring bun, because he had to perform a salute, he naturally did not wear any jewelry on the bun.
Another maid carefully put on her makeup, and a woman next to her whispered, "...... The old lady has to go out to greet the guests, so she can't come, but she wants the old slave to tell the big girl, there is an old lady in everything, and the big girl you can relax. β
The corners of Su Nianyu's lips curled, and it was the first time that she found that her grandmother also had a verbose nature, but she felt that this kind of grandmother was much cuter than she looked a little cold-blooded before.
In the end, he also knew that his grandmother's admonition was for his own good, so he only nodded quietly at the moment.
Yuan Xiang on the side wanted to come up to help, but when she saw that the maid and woman who were revolving around her own girl were all very tacitly cooperative, she couldn't even insert a crack, so she had to snort lightly, turned her head sideways and whispered to Yuan Qiu, who was also standing on the side and watching: "...... The people sent by the old lady are different, look at them combing their double-ringed buns. You have to be so serious, and every strand of hair is eager to be combed thousands of times; Looking at their cooperation and tacit understanding with each other, they must often cooperate together. β
Yuan Qiu's eyes moved. also replied lightly: "It's none of our business here and right, let's go down and prepare some food for the girl and these people!" β
Yuanxiang didn't say anything, and went down with Yuanqiu.
In the end, it is also the people who know that those are old ladies, and they can't be sloppy.
After Su Nianyu had eaten, and was sorted out by the waiting maids, and after making sure that there was nothing wrong with her whole body, she hugged her to the family temple in the south direction. While there was still some time, I went to the east room to sit and wait.
And at this time, Mrs. Su had already changed into a decent dress. And because it is the day of the Sufu concubine's ceremony, she naturally dresses up more solemnly, and at this moment, she is standing at the gate of the family temple to welcome guests; Such a grand day. Su Ran naturally wanted to take leave. He also got up early in the morning, and tidied himself up very neatly, wearing a hidden-colored robe, which made him more and more elegant, and stood beside his mother to receive the guests together.
And Su Yingyue, the third girl of Su Mansion, as Yousi, held a jubilant red tray in her hand and stood at the gate of the courtyard with a smile.
Old Madam Dong was naturally the first to arrive, Su Ran first gave her a serious salute, and then exchanged a few words of greeting. Mrs. Dong and Mrs. Su spoke affectionately, "The in-laws look full of energy today. I think I'm getting better, right? β
Old Madam Su also smiled, "Not to mention, compared to me in the first half of the month, this body is indeed a lot stronger." β
The two said a few more words, and Mrs. Dong smiled and pulled the girl who came with her forward, and introduced Mrs. Su: "...... This is Sister Rong, the third girl in the house, and the in-laws are estimated to be unrecognizable, and she is only two months younger than Yu Ya. β
Dong Qiurong had a graceful body, a very beautiful face, a slight smile, and a pair of eyes full of smiles, she bowed very obediently.
Old Madam Su helped the person in vain, and praised with a happy face: "Yo, the third girl in the house is so big, she really looks very good." β
Old Madam Dong smiled very happily, and she was not modest at all, "This is natural, Sister Yu'er's appearance is famous in the capital, and Sister Rong, as her cousin, where will she go!" β
The two old ladies didn't talk for long, knowing that it was not suitable to talk more on such an occasion today, a maid led Mrs. Dong and Miss Dong San to the tables and chairs specially arranged on the side and sat down, beckoning them to rest first.
Mrs. Su and Su Ran continued to receive other guests.
Although Su Nianyu was waiting in the east room, she could see the scene outside through the hidden window, and she followed the path into the east room until now, four or five people who were invited have come one after another, including ladies and young ladies who have not yet left the cabinet; Among the ladies, in addition to Wang Xuan as a praiser, there are two other deacons, one is her cousin Dong Qiurong, and the other is Xu Man'er.
Grandmother would fall in love with Xu Man'er to be the deacon, which she really didn't expect; However, thinking about things from a different angle, it is also wonderful to invite Xu Man'er to come.
If you are a family or a wealthy family living in the capital, is there any boudoir lady who has not heard of the name Xu Man'er? Although she can't keep her mouth shut, but talking a lot also has its advantages, if she is allowed to participate in her ceremony, after this ceremony, which of the eldest ladies of the family participated, and what role they played in it, it will be spread overnight.
In a certain aspect, the more weight the people involved, the more outsiders will look at Su Fu, and the higher their eyes will naturally go; On the contrary, those who participated in the ceremony of the future princess will naturally feel more face-saving.
In this way, it has further brought these families and the Su Mansion together.
As soon as she stood by the window and looked out, people came neatly, and she saw that a few pestles prepared under the shade of a tree in the courtyard were full, and the two heads of the Su Mansion also walked back with smiles on their faces, that is to say, all the people were there.
A maid came and knocked on her door, "Big girl, the old lady said that everything is ready, and you can prepare to come out after the master gives a brief speech." β
Su Nianyu responded, and unconsciously sat up straight.
The venue for the ceremony was originally to be set up in the open-air courtyard of the family temple, and thinking that the weather in the past two days was not particularly good, and the wind was stronger, Su Ran and Mrs. Su finally decided to complete it in the family temple.
The family temple is not small, and it has been deliberately arranged and arranged. It looks much more spacious and bright; After the guests followed the order, they sat down in the arranged positions in the family temple one by one, and Mrs. Su also sat down.
Su Ran was standing in front of everyone. After clearing his throat, he said solemnly: "Today, the little girl Su Nianyu performed an adult ceremony, thank you for coming!" Below, the little girl Su Nianyu's adult ceremony officially begins! β
Naturally, there was silence in the family temple.
After a while, Su Ran spoke again: "Please Su Nianyu into the ......" Before the words could be spoken, a small servant outside broke in without a head.
I probably didn't expect that the ceremony in the family temple had already begun. Or was frightened by the room full of noble ladies, and the little girl was so frightened that he took two steps back; When he was about to take a third step back, Fang remembered why he rushed in. Only then did he pause, salute nervously, and said, "Master, old lady, the prince is here!" β
The little guy in the house rushed into the family temple so unruly. Su Ran was originally embarrassed by losing face in front of many ladies and ladies; After listening to the little guy's words. Naturally, he didn't dare to be sloppy, and wanted to go out to receive the prince, but now it was Sister Yu'er's courtesy, and he, as her father, naturally couldn't walk away.
After a quick measurement, he walked to the side of the little servant and said decisively, "...... You go back first and talk back to the prince, and say that I will arrive later. You will serve the prince well. β
The little servant wiped a handful of sweat: "Back to the master, Her Royal Highness the princess said." They learned that it was the eldest girl's ceremony, so they came to see it. β
Su Ran was stunned, "Princess? Aren't you talking about the prince of the world? He pondered again and hurriedly asked, "Is Princess Rong'an and the prince here together?" β
The little guy answered, "...... His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was afraid that Princess Rong'an would come over to make trouble, so he also came to the family temple together. β
Su Ran almost dropped his jaw in shock.
Everyone present also heard what the little maid said as soon as he entered the house, and they could understand Su Ran's behavior of walking to the door and talking to the little guy after half of his speech.
The concubine of the Su Mansion is of course important, but the prince chose to come at this time, if it is not properly handled, it will not work.
Old Madam Su knew the power of this, and seeing that Su Ran hadn't come back for a long time, she also walked over to see what was going on, and just heard the title of prince and princess in the words of the little girl, and suddenly came to her senses.
She faced Su Ran and said, "Is it that in addition to the prince, the prince and Princess Rong'an are here?" β
Su Ran nodded, with one hand behind his back, but his brows were furrowed, obviously hesitating; Seeing this, Mrs. Su pushed him, "If the family arrives in the mansion today, it will naturally not work if you don't go to greet him; As for Sister Yu'er's etiquette, don't you still have me? Don't worry, make sure everything is in order, and don't think about it here, but don't neglect the nobles and lose your manners. β
Su Ran also felt that this method was feasible, and was about to turn around and explain to everyone, but a group of people had already walked in at the gate of the courtyard, forcing Su Ran's footsteps to turn back abruptly, and greeted him with a stern face.
"I don't know that His Royal Highness, the princess and the prince are here, and I hope to forgive my sins."
Old Madam Su was a little slower to react, and after Su Ran saluted, she hurried over to meet her, but Ling Shubai took the first step to hold her up, and glanced at the two royal people behind him, and then said lightly: "Old Madam and Master Su don't have to be like this, I was going to come over to have a look today, but the prince and Rong An have to come over to take a look, so you really don't have to take them too seriously." β
After a pause, he added: "Don't worry about me, today is a prayer and a ritual, do whatever you want, as if you didn't see us." β
Rong Ye held a folding fan in his hand and stepped forward in a noble manner, "Shu Bai is right, just as we are ordinary people." β
Princess Rong'an also spoke up, and her eyes looked at the old lady Su and the family temple behind Su Ran from time to time, and she was really curious.
And at this time, after listening to the words of a few little ancestors, the two masters of the Su Mansion did not dare to relax at all, and they always did not dare to take it seriously.
Those three are all people on the tip of the saint's heart, and their identities are there, Rao is that they have always emphasized that they don't need to take care of them, where can Su Ran and Old Madam Su really do that?
The two of them were melancholy, but His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gently tapped the folding fan in the palm of his hand, and said with great pleasure: "We rushed to the Su Mansion as soon as we arrived, we shouldn't have missed Miss Su's ceremony, right?" β
The meaning of the words could not be more obvious, they came for the salute of the eldest girl of Su Mansion.
Old Madam Su lowered her eyes and responded, "Just about to start." β
Su Ran looked at his mother, and then at the smiling prince, and really felt a little unsafe; If it weren't for the fact that he was Sister Yu'er's father and needed to preside over the overall situation, I am afraid that he would not be able to enter.
Shi Ziye is Sister Yu's fiancΓ©, if he insists on entering, he can barely find an excuse; But what about His Royal Highness the Prince? There is no crown princess, and there are only two concubines on her side, and she is very handsome, if she is seen by the girl in the house, she doesn't know what she will be happy about.
That's it, don't mention whether men and women give or receive kisses for the time being, what if anyone in it accidentally angers His Royal Highness the Prince? That's not enough, the entire Su Mansion was buried together......
The more Su Ran thought about it, the more worried she became, and she unconsciously sweated again, and after thinking about it, she still felt that it would be better to invite these little ancestors to other places, so she made a gesture and said rigorously: "The little girl's ceremony is indeed about to start, but the people who participate in the ceremony are all women or girls who have not left the pavilion, if the prince and the prince also want to go in to watch the ceremony, I am afraid that it is not very safe......"
Su Ran carefully considered every sentence, every word, and every word, not only to express the meaning he wanted to explain clearly, but also to be tactful enough, so tired that he couldn't stop sweating out; But I didn't want to, Princess Rong'an, who was originally full of interest, rolled her eyes and fell directly on him, "Master Su means that there are female dependents inside, and Brother Prince and Brother Shu Bai are both men, so if they also enter the house, will it damage their reputation?" β
Su Ran's eyes flashed, and he coughed twice, but he didn't object.
I thought that Princess Rong'an could hear his voice, but the other two must have realized it; But he didn't want to, Su Ran didn't wait for the response of the other two ancestors, but Princess Rong'an reacted first.
She touched her chin, "Is that really the case?" In fact, it is not difficult to prove it, so the princess went into the house and asked them, if the prince's brother and the prince's brother also wanted to enter the house, they would not agree. β
Su Ran hurriedly called: "The princess stays ......"
But it failed to stop Princess Rong'an from rushing to the family temple with the corner of her skirt. (To be continued......)
