Chapter 71, Zhao Yu's request
Su Xilan is thirteen years old, and she is about to see each other, this time the ladies and young masters of all families will appear, if you can fancy your daughter, it will also be a good marriage, and maybe your daughter will be favored by the royal family, and then her daughter will soar into the sky.
"Mother, don't worry, I will behave well the day after tomorrow, hum, our Hou Mansion will only enter the palace with the three of us this time, Sister Ju is too young, as for the third sister, hmph, as long as the ladies of each family are not blind, they will definitely not look down on her, and our Hou Mansion is suitable for marriage now."
"Yes, our Sister Lan is blessed. You clean up, my mother goes to see your brother, and the maintenance time is a little longer. "Su Xilan has been carefully beautifying her during this time, and she looks very beautiful because she is just the right age.
Not long after Zhou left, the little girl outside came to report that Miss Biao was visiting, Su Xilan didn't want to see Zhao Yu very much, she was busy, but everyone had arrived at the door, and she couldn't see it, so Su Xilan had no choice but to nod, but she was very unhappy with Zhao Yu's lack of eyes.
"Cousin Lan, I didn't bother you?" Zhao Yu came in with a smile on his face.
"Excuse me, so if you have something to say, I'll have to do maintenance later."
Zhao Yu was choked by Su Xilan's straightforward words, but fortunately, she had a good mentality, as if she didn't understand Su Xilan's meaning at all.
"Cousin Lan is indeed getting more and more beautiful, it can be seen that the maintenance is very careful, but this is also Cousin Lan's natural beauty that has such an effect."
"That's right, I've been beautiful since I was a child, and my mother has spent a lot of money on this beauty care method."
Su Xilan raised her chin, although she always knew that she was beautiful, she was still very happy to be pointed out.
"Anyway, is there anything you have to do at this time?" was praised a lot, and Su Xilan's attitude improved a lot.
"Cousin Lan, I have something to ask you, I am also very curious about the palace, can I ask Cousin Lan to take me in." Zhao Yu knew Su Xilan's personality, so he said his purpose.
"What do you want, the palace can be entered by me when I take you in?" Su Xilan looked at Zhao Yu like a madman.
"I don't mean that, I want to go as a cousin maid, cousin, you think, how can I be better than a maid, if those noble ladies see that the maids around their cousins are so outstanding, then don't you have a good impression of you?"
Although Su Xilan knew that Zhao Yu was selfish, her words also had a certain amount of truth, and Zhao Yu watched Su Xilan shake and hurriedly continued to agitate.
"Cousin Lan, don't worry, I want to enter the palace because I am curious, and I will definitely not cause you trouble, Cousin Lan, you will fulfill my wish."
In fact, Zhao Yu is lying to Su Xilan, many of the young ladies who will enter the palace tomorrow are their classmates, who doesn't know her identity, who can really treat her as a maid, so it's just to be able to enter the palace.
Thinking of this, Zhao Yu hated in her heart, she inquired with her classmates, although this time the royal family asked each family to bring out their children, but there were also grandchildren and granddaughters with grandchildren, but the Hou Mansion said that they should be low-key, so they resolutely did not bring themselves and their brothers, but they just didn't want themselves and their brothers to come out and overpower the young master and young lady in the house.
Zhao Yu's heart was dripping blood, she was also a serious official daughter, the granddaughter of the Hou Mansion, but the Hou Mansion suppressed herself, afraid that she would take away the light of Su Xilan and Su Xizhu, so she was so glossy.
Tomorrow she and Su Xilan will appear at the door together, Zhao Yu feels that the old lady will be unhappy at that time, and it will be difficult to drive her back, and when she enters the palace, if Su Xilan treats her cousin as a maid, then she will be finished.
As for the old lady's settlement after coming back, although Zhao Yu is worried, she is not afraid, she believes that with her character, someone will definitely fall in love with her, and when the other party and the Hou Mansion reveal the meaning of marriage, the old lady can only hold herself, no matter how you look at it, Zhao Yu feels that it is worth the risk.
Su Xilan pursed her lips, although she wanted to agree, but she always felt that something was wrong, Zhao Yu suddenly grabbed Su Xilan's hand.
"Cousin Lan, I beg you, our sisters have such a good relationship, can you bear to let me be disappointed, and it's just to occupy a place for a maid, the maids are timid, and they may cause trouble for you when they get to the palace."
Su Xilan thought that her maids were indeed not particularly able to suppress the factory, and finally nodded, Zhao Yu was overjoyed, and promised again and again that she would definitely be a good sister with Su Xilan for a lifetime.
Originally, Su Xilan was going to take Zhu'er into the palace, but now Zhao Yu has replaced Zhu'er's quota, so she still has to talk to Zhu'er.
"Miss, is there really no problem?" Zhu'er actually didn't really want to follow Su Xilan into the palace, she was afraid, she heard that as long as she made a mistake in the palace, she would be killed, but now Miss Biao really doesn't matter if she takes her identity?
"What can happen, it's just that Zhao Yu wants to enter the palace to take a look, this is her compensation for you." Su Xilan said that he handed over a silver hairpin, which was worth two taels of silver, and Su Xilan laughed at Zhao Yu's stinginess in her heart.
"Thank you, Miss, that Miss rest early." Zhu'er was a little happy to take the hairpin, but there was always an uneasiness in her heart.
The Zhou family was in a state of excitement because he knew that he was going to enter the palace, so he forgot to tell Su Xilan that this time the young master and young lady of the Hou Mansion were not allowed to bring people, so when Su Xilan said that Zhao Yu was her maid into the palace, don't talk about the Zhou family, even Su Xizhu was surprised.
"Mother, it's me who is wrong, I forgot to tell Sister Lan that you are not allowed to take maids." Zhou glared at Zhao Yu hatefully, today's play is definitely Zhao Yu's daughter.
Su Xilan was a little confused, looking at the expressions of her grandmother and mother, she knew that she had done something wrong, originally she didn't like Zhao Yu's dress very much today, how could there be a maid dressed so exquisitely, but Zhao Yu was waiting for her halfway, and it was too late, so Su Xilan didn't let her change.
Old Madam Qi looked at Zhao Yu and sneered, she knew that at this time, if she asked Zhao Yu to go back, she would be able to kneel and cry, now that everyone was on the way, if people heard that the Hou Mansion could not afford to lose that person.
As for Zhao Yu's thoughts, where can the old lady Qi not understand, just let her go with her, maybe it will still be a useful chess piece.
Su Xizhu and the four of them went to the palace in a carriage, Su Xilan's face has not eased up until now, Su Xizhu looked at Zhao Yu and looked down at Su Xilan and sighed in his heart.
"Second sister, when you get to the palace, you must not treat your cousin as a maid, today is the Hou Mansion who brought our sisters into the palace, do you know?"
"Why?" Su Xilan was a little uncomfortable, Zhao Yu had already put her in the pit and didn't allow her to retaliate? And she doesn't treat Zhao Yu as a maid, if she has something to tell anyone.
"How many young ladies from each family don't know about our relationship, how do you treat your cousin as a maid and make people think of you?"
Su Xizhu was really speechless, they were studying in the school, what did Su Xilan think, even if she was stupid, she couldn't be so stupid.
Su Xizhu looked at Zhao Yu, with her intelligence, how could she not know this, but she was just using Su Xilan to elevate herself.
Su Xilan was not stupid in the end, turned to look at Zhao Yu and screamed, "You calculate me? ”
"Shut up, does the whole world know what you want to shout?" Su Xizhu glared at Su Xilan, although Su Xilan was dissatisfied, she also knew that this was not the time to lose her temper, so she could only shut up, but she looked at Zhao Yu with a very unkind gaze.
"Cousin Lan, I didn't, I didn't expect it, really, you believe me." Su Xilan hesitated, she didn't expect it, and Zhao Yu might not have expected it to be so stupid.
"Cousin doesn't dress like a maid today." Su Xizhu chuckled, it was not that Su Xizhu had to get along with Zhao Yu, but that she hoped that Su Xilan could wake up to Zhao Yu, at least be careful today, otherwise she would be picked up by Zhao Yu and no one in the Hou Mansion of Annan would be good.
Su Xilan listened to Su Xizhu's words, although she still had some doubts that Zhao Yu was not so smart, but she didn't want to pay attention to her in the end, so she turned her head away from Zhao Yu.
"Third cousin, I know you have always looked down on me, but you can't say that about me, me."
"Stop, I'm not interested in what you think at all, if it weren't for you entering the palace because of your identity as Miss Hou Fubiao, I wouldn't bother to say it, just cousin, I don't care what you think, but you must be cautious in your words and deeds in the palace, think about your cousin, think about your little aunt, people can't be so selfish."
Su Xizhu said that she didn't pay attention to Zhao Yu, and Zhao Yu's face was blue and red when Su Xizhu said, but Zhao Yu calmed down in the end, knowing that she couldn't say Su Xizhu, so she didn't try to explain, anyway, the most important thing for her now is to make people fall in love with her, so Zhao Yu closed her eyes and rehearsed the things that she might encounter today a few more times.
Su Xiju looked at the three sisters, although she didn't understand too much, but she knew that she would listen to the words of the third sister, just follow the third sister, and when the four sisters had their own thoughts, the carriage of the Hou Mansion of Annan had already arrived at the gate of the palace.
The palace is not allowed to enter the carriage, but many of the people who come today are elderly people, and the emperor does not want to make any trouble on his birthday, so today he specially ordered that the carriage can enter the second gate, and then the old feudal monarchs of each province have a special lady to carry it to the queen's residence.
Of course, the emperor got a bunch of rainbow farts after this decree, and the emperor was happy that all the mansions also got benefits, so they were all happy. The old lady Qi of the Hou Mansion of Annan was carried away by Jiaozi, and the rest of the people could only continue on foot.
"What's wrong?" Su Xizhu found that Su Xiju was looking around, pulled her hand, and asked in a low voice.
"I'm looking for a big sister." Su Xiju didn't seem to have seen the people in the Dingguo Mansion for a long time, and they were a little curious.
"Hmph, what kind of family is the Dingguo Mansion, where can we compare, I was invited to the queen's palace as soon as possible, and the eldest sister is probably chatting with the queen now, and she has long forgotten us.
Let's forget it, after all, it's the cousin in the next room, the fourth sister, you are the eldest sister's own sister, why doesn't she think about you? It's not that I said, the big sister is better to her sister-in-law than to your own sister. Don't make it too obvious.
