The children sat in a circle, Su Lin looked at the two maids standing behind her, and said, "Spring flowers, autumn leaves, you can also come, eat together, be lively." ”
The two maids were flattered, "Miss, we don't dare to sit with you, it's not in accordance with the rules." Su Lin shook her head and stood up, "There are not so many rules in my place, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, I let you sit down."

The age is around five or six years old, and if this is in the future life, it is the time to be naughty. But when there are no men in a family, it is as if something is missing. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was so simple, Su Lin was a little depressed, only drank two glasses of wine, and went to bed early.
Early the next morning, according to the rules, they also worship heaven and earth to worship their ancestors. But Su Lin doesn't believe in any world, and her ancestors don't know where they are at this time. Su Lin only walked through the form, and then began to think about what to do next.
For several days, Su Lin did not go out of the gate, and she was busy with this and that on weekdays, and it was rare to be idle at this time. However, although she was idle, Su Lin was worried. She thought about everything about the Tang Dynasty in her memory, and she didn't come up with a suitable person to be Su Lin's current backer. Su Lin was bored in the house, so she took a few children out for a walk.
Before she knew it, Su Lin came to the east of the city. This is a place where rich and noble families gather, Su Lin looked around, trying to think of something. Not to mention, Su Lin really found a mansion when she looked at it. Perhaps by chance, Su Lin actually came to the side of Chai Mansion. Su Lin's heart moved, Chai Mansion, you don't need to ask to know that there is such a person as Chai Shao. However, what Su Lin was looking for was not Chai Shao, but his wife, Li Yuan's third daughter, the later princess Li Xiuning of Pingyang.
The current Li Xiuning is not a princess, and Chai Shao is not a general. Most of the families of the two families are in Chang'an, except for Li Yuan and Li Shimin in Taiyuan. Thinking of this, Su Lin immediately returned to the Drunken Immortal Residence, prepared a gift, and then took out a bottle of perfume and went to visit Li Xiuning. At this time, Chai Shao was a Qianniu of the Sui Dynasty and served as a guard of the palace, so he was often not at home.
Although it was just the New Year, Chai Shao still entered the palace on an errand. Su Lin took Xiao Si and came to Chai Mansion with gifts, and Su Lin handed over the greeting slip and waited outside the door. At this time, although Li Xiuning was not the Iron Lady, she was not as ordinary as other women. When people came to report that Miss Su Lin'er, the owner of the Drunken Immortal Residence, had visited, Li Xiuning was stunned.
She had heard Su Lin's name before, because she took out two things a while ago, which were very lively in the circle of noblewomen in Chang'an. Whether it's a perfume or a face mask, the effect is amazing after use. Li Xiuning also wanted to buy a copy at that time, but she was discouraged by the price. Later, Su Lin helped the homeless people, so that many people remembered her as a person.
But what puzzled Li Xiuning was, what did Su Lin'er do with herself? But everyone came, and they were embarrassed not to see them. Although the two have no friendship, they have no grudges. Thinking of this, he instructed his subordinates, "Invite Miss Su to my room!" The servant went away. Su Lin waited outside for a long time before she saw a maid come out. "Miss Su, our wife is invited."
