At noon the next day, Aunt Xiao wore a white cloak and went to the Magnolia Garden, just like before, and only talked about things in a corner of the courtyard.

“…… That Han Juan is really honest, as soon as he heard that the concubine wanted him to settle the family affairs, he didn't agree immediately, for fear that Sister Ying would have a hard life after marrying him, and said that he would marry someone after he won the ranking next year. Aunt Xiao rarely smiled, and continued: "The concubine was in a hurry, so she said that a family had fallen in love with her, and she would invite a matchmaker to come up in two days. ”

Su Nianyu burst out laughing, "I was afraid that Han Juan would wait until after he got his fame to talk about this, but I didn't expect Aunt Xiao to think of such a good method." ”

Aunt Xiao also smiled and sighed: "The concubine body is also a last resort, I am afraid that there will be a change of hexagram, as long as Sister Ying'er can have a good home, it is nothing for the concubine to be thick-skinned." ”

The two chatted a few more words in the corner, and Aunt Xiao was leaving, speaking of which, Aunt Xiao and Su Nianyu had nothing to do with each other before, but she had been running diligently these days, and Aunt Xiao was also afraid that others would find out the clues, so she didn't stay much in Yulan Garden every time.

It's really bold and careful.

Su Nianyu went into the house to clean up, and prepared to go to Ningrong Courtyard to talk to her grandmother about the third sister and Han Juan.

My grandmother has not been in good health these days, and because of one bad thing after another, her heart is very depressed, so her complexion is not particularly good.

Seeing her coming, she also showed a faint smile: "Sister Yu, you are here." ”

Su Nianyu blessed very politely, and her smile was also very decent. But it seems that he is getting less and less close to Mrs. Su.

In the past, when my grandmother saw her, she didn't put on a bad face. has always been faint eyebrows, as if there is no granddaughter like her; Now, as soon as her relationship with the prince is confirmed, her grandmother can smile at her.

Su Nianyu's heart was really uncomfortable.

After only thinking about achieving the goal quickly, he turned around and left.

Grandmother's reaction was really what she expected, the third sister was not disgraceful yesterday, and today she suddenly heard that she was caught by a good young man. Grandma was so shocked that she sat up from the couch.

"Sister Yu, what you said is true?" Old Madam Su leaned on the armrest, and there was a hint of clarity in her eyes. "Who is it? How old is it? What are the brothers and sisters in the family? What about the family? ”

Su Nianyu smiled and answered one by one, and Mrs. Su listened quietly, and only said after a while: "Although this Han Juan you said is a person, his family is too poor. Sister Ying is the young lady of Su Mansion in the end. I don't know if I can live this life after getting married......"

Mrs. Su's expression was really subtle, but Su Nianyu heard the meaning of the words, grandmother was afraid that Han Juan would not be able to support the third sister, and life would be miserable.

smiled and said: "Although his family is poor, he is a man in the end, and when the spring season is over next year, he may have fame; In this way, life will naturally pass better and better. Seeing that there was still a look of hesitation on my grandmother's face. He continued, "It's better than marrying a concubine to someone with a hidden disease." ”

Old Madam Su thought about it. Finally agreed," ...... I also hope that Sister Ying can live a good life, so let's decide so. ”

Su Nianyu smiled, sat down and talked again, and then got up to say goodbye.

As soon as he got out of Ningrong Courtyard, he happily went to the third sister, and it happened that Aunt Xiao was also there, so they told this great joy together.

The dream came true, Su Yingyue was ashamed at first, and then couldn't help shedding tears of joy; Aunt Xiao was in a good mood, so she directly asked the personal maid to take the broken silver out and reward the maids in the entire yard.

The courtyard was full of joy up and down.

Aunt Xiao was still very excited, so she had to leave Su Nianyu for lunch together, but she rolled up her sleeves and decided to cook a table of delicious food by herself.

When Aunt Xiao went down happily, Su Nianyu smiled and said, "...... I remember that Aunt Xiao was also a young lady from a rich family, but I didn't expect her to cook. ”

Su Nianyu didn't mean anything else when she said this, she just appreciated it, but she didn't want Su Yingyue to answer: "Auntie really didn't know how to cook before, and she couldn't even make a fire; About four or five years ago, in order to prevent me from starving to death or eating bad food and getting sick, my aunt learned to make a fire and cook on her own. ”

When Su Nianyu heard this, his smile faded, and he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.

She actually forgot that in the past few years, Aunt Liu has been in charge of the middle feed in the house, and Aunt Xiao has been begging for a life under her, which must not be much better, no wonder Aunt Xiao said that she was fed up before, but I am afraid that their mother and daughter have really had a hard time in the past few years, and it is very difficult.

Su Yingyue seemed to see her embarrassment, and held her hand with a smile: "Big sister, I don't mean anything else, and I haven't complained about anything." My aunt always said that it is better for people to support themselves, and when the time comes, even if they are in trouble, they can save themselves. ”

Su Nianyu looked at the girl's innocent smile, her heart suddenly softened, she shook it back, and said with emotion: "Aunt Xiao's words are really good, if you can support yourself, it will be difficult for you to do anything." ”

The two chatted about their daughter's house again, and Aunt Xiao had already come up with a steaming meal.

Two meats and two vegetables, and a tofu soup, which is fragrant and makes people drool.

After Aunt Xiao smiled and put the dishes and chopsticks in place, she beckoned Su Nianyu to take a seat, "It's all coarse tea and light rice, and I don't know if the eldest girl is used to eating or not; I didn't expect any distinguished guests to stay today, so I didn't deliberately stock up on some good things. ”

Su Nianyu unceremoniously put the vegetables in her mouth first, but smiled when she heard the words: "Aunt Xiao is not right, I have never eaten such a delicious food, and I can't compare to any delicacies from the mountains and seas." ”

Aunt Xiao hurriedly said: "The eldest girl, don't say this, it's really a joke about the concubine." But she couldn't even close her mouth with a smile on her face, which really touched her heart.

But Su Nianyu really felt so.

If you really want to talk about it, Aunt Xiao's craftsmanship is not very good, but she has grown so big. It's the first time to eat the food cooked by Aunt Fuzhong, and the affection that can be experienced in this is comparable to other delicacies!

Although the third sister is a concubine who is not taken seriously. But she has a good aunt, an aunt who thinks about her everywhere, and an aunt who will learn to cook for her.

Su Nianyu was eating the food, but her heart was full of envy.

*

Time passed quickly, and a few days later, it happened to usher in the engagement gift of Su Nianyu and Shizi.

Speaking of this auspicious day, there are still some twists and turns.

After the two of them combined. Lingwei Hou began to choose the auspicious day of the zodiac, originally wanting to set the date of marriage on the twenty-second of the next month, but the prince did not agree. Ask for it a little earlier.

The matchmaker means that the twenty-second day of the next month is a rare good day, and it is also the most auspicious of the two months before and after; Later, because of the insistence of the prince. The matchmaker brought the days forward again. That's why I chose the twenty-eighth of this month.

The engagement gift was very smooth, and Lingweihou and his wife and the prince were here; Su Ran took his leave, put on his most exquisite robe, and helped his old mother, who had also been carefully tidied up, to the table.

Mrs. Su also wore a solemn and festive red dress this day, and I don't know if it was because of the clothes, but today's complexion looks very good, and her cheeks are still ruddy.

The engagement ceremony should have been held lively, but how to be lively. Lingwei Hou and Mrs. Hou thought about it for a long time, but they still didn't come up with a reason. So he summoned the prince over and asked what to do.

Ling Shubai didn't understand these things, and after thinking about it, he sent someone to send a post to ask Su Fu; It was Mrs. Su who received the post, whether it was the engagement ceremony of her own daughter-in-law, or let her make up her own mind, and as soon as she turned around, she sent the post from the Lingwei Hou Mansion to Su Nianyu's hands.

Su Nianyu felt that the engagement was just a matter for two people, so she mentioned that the elders of both sides would sit down and have a happy meal, and it would not be too late to hold a lively wedding banquet until the wedding.

So, at the engagement ceremony, which should have been a few tables of joy, there was only one carefully prepared table in the dining room.

The table is made of mahogany, the chairs are also mahogany, and even the tablecloth on the table top is a very pleasant red.

The elders on both sides stood in front of the table and bowed vigorously.

At this moment, a servant came in in a panic to report, and his face turned white with anxiety: "...... The emperor came and said that he was coming to attend the engagement ceremony. ”

The emperor is coming?

The elders of the two sides, who were still humble, looked at each other twice, and finally reacted, and the group hurried out to greet them, but they were a step too late - the bright yellow robe had already swayed in from the door.

The crowd hurriedly bowed and saluted.

The saint stood at the door with a smile, and beside him stood the prince Rong Ye, who was also smiling, and on the side was Princess Rong'an, who had a look of anger on her face.

There are actually three big Buddhas.

Rao is Lingwei Hou and Mrs. Hou also saw such a big posture for the first time, and the two of them stabilized their minds and hurriedly retreated to the side; Although it was not the first time that Su Ran had seen these golden Buddhas, it was the first time that these Buddhas had come to Su Mansion together.

Shengshang said with a pleasant face: "There is no need to be formal, today is the day of Shu Bai's engagement, there is no emperor, no prince, and no princess." ”

Everyone echoed and replied yes, but no one really took what the Holy One said seriously.

And in that room, because of the sudden arrival of the saint, the prince and Princess Rong'an, several maids who knew the depth hurriedly stepped forward to help add three places.

The saint took the lead and walked over, naturally sitting in the most important position in the middle, and the Lingwei Hou couple and Su Ran and Old Lady Su were naturally interested, and hurriedly leaned towards the back position, preparing to move the position for the prince and the princess.

But the Holy One stopped: "Didn't I say it? Today, there are no kings and ministers at this table, only parents and siblings. Rong Ye and Rong An are juniors, or they came with a dead face, you just leave them alone and let them go to the other end to squeeze in; For the rest, sit according to the custom of engagement. ”

Everyone looked at me again, I looked at you, and finally cautiously entered the table, first the elders of both sides, and then the prince and Su Nianyu, the crown prince Rong Ye and Princess Rong An, who were powerful in the palace, really squeezed into the last two positions without complaint.

A maid came forward to add wine, taking advantage of this gap, Shengshang always smiled, his eyes went back and forth on Shizi and Su Nianyu, and after a while, he sighed with emotion: "Alas, Shu Bai has grown up in a blink of an eye, and there are still people he likes." He looked at Su Nianyu again, nodded and smiled, "Yes, it looks quite a good match." ”

Ling Shubai also raised his eyes to look at her, and actually smiled.

Su Nianyu: "......"

Before he had time to be shy, the saint suddenly made another move, and saw the little father-in-law who followed him suddenly picked up a boxy brocade box, and as soon as he opened it, a big glittering bead lit up in front of everyone.

Ling Shubai narrowed his eyes and said, "Dongyi's night pearl? ”

The saint nodded appreciatively, looking at the eyes of the prince very kindly, "Shu Bai's gaze is very good, this night pearl is really offered by Dongyi, it is said that it will emit a light purple light at night, which is very rare." I only have this one in my hand, but today I want to give it to you as a wedding gift. ”

Everyone was dumbfounded, they didn't expect that the saint would make such a big move, and Su Nianyu was so shocked that his jaw almost dropped.

Such a fist-sized night pearl can still emit a light purple light, and the saint said that there is only such a one so far, but I am afraid that it is priceless. As soon as he said it so casually, he gave it to them.

Shizi didn't seem so shocked, probably because he was used to this kind of convulsive behavior of the saint, and just responded: "Thank you, saint." ”

The saint smiled and waved his hand, and the little father-in-law held the brocade box in front of Su Nianyu.

Su Nianyu took it with trembling hands, and thanked him back, holding the brocade box tightly with both hands, for fear that if his hands trembled, he would break the rare night pearl in this world.

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had an opinion on his father's approach, he took a folding fan and tapped lightly on the edge of the table, and said dissatisfiedly: "Father, your approach is really unsafe, you have prepared gifts, and Rong Anzi and I have also prepared them; But as soon as you make a move, you are a unique pearl of the night, but where can Rong An and I get those priceless treasures? You are going to trap us in unrighteousness. ”

Rong An, who was originally awkward, heard this, and finally said the first sentence after coming to Su Mansion: "Yes, my father is unreasonable." ”

The saint smiled lightly, "Who told you to come with you?" ”

Rong Ye: "......"

Rong An: "......"

Sure ginger is old and spicy.

Rong Ye sent a piece of natural carved jadeite, emerald green, very transparent, at a glance, you can know that it is also valuable, "Although this jadeite is not as good as my father's night pearl, it is also one of the best real jade, see how you want to carve it another day, as long as you like it."
