Chapter 55: Show off
Su He looked at all this coldly, of course she knew Zhou Jinghan's true intentions, embroidered three hundred and sixty-five handkerchiefs a month, and she couldn't get tired of her hands?
Poor Su Nian is still immersed in his fantasies, and he is full of energy, and he can't wait to embroider one right now and send it to Zhou Jinghan.
Of course, Su Nian was not the only one who was happy, Su Yuandao and his wife were also smiling, and the corners of their mouths were almost grinning.
Zhou Jinghan left after giving the order, Su Nian blushed and looked at Zhou Jinghan's departing back blankly.
"Hey, Nian'er, why did the prince suddenly ask you to embroider a handkerchief for him?" The second lady stepped forward and asked.
Su Nian shook his head and said, "My daughter doesn't know why. ”
"Okay, okay, you go and embroider a few pieces first, and send them to the prince first." The second lady urged.
Su Nian nodded and left with a smile.
Zhou Jinghan's move is not small, the next day Su Yuandao sent people to give Zhou Jinghan a handkerchief with great fanfare, and every time he saw someone, he had to declare that it was embroidered by his daughter.
Feng Accord in Beijing is the place where all the daughters and their sons and buddies gather for tea, and it is also the place where news circulates in this upper circle.
Sure enough, the news of Su Nian embroidering a handkerchief for Zhou Jinghan spread like this.
"Have you heard? Yesterday, the prince personally went to Su Mansion and asked Miss Su Er to embroider a veil for him. ”
"Naturally, I heard about it, and I said that I had to embroider it every day."
"I don't know what means this second lady used, to let the regent who doesn't like women do this, and it is also a beautiful thing that the handkerchief she embroidered can be used by the regent."
"Beauty is beautiful, it's a pity that you don't have the ability to have a family, the prince has a fancy to Miss Su Er, even if you embroider it well, the prince will not use it."
“……”
Several young ladies got together and began to discuss, you and I said a word, and it was very lively, but if you listened carefully, there was sourness and jealousy in it.
Su Nian also likes to come here to hang out and drink tea, she is in a good mood these two days, so she wants to come here for a walk, last night she embroidered a handkerchief embroidered to the moon in the sky, but she was not sleepy at all, when she thought that the handkerchief in her hand would become Zhou Jinghan's personal object, she was full of energy!
As soon as she came in, Su Nian heard everyone discuss, as a woman, she keenly smelled the abnormality in the air, this place was no longer as cheerful as before, she felt the jealousy and envy of all the ladies and ladies here!
Su Nian raised her head, she just liked this feeling, what she had was something that others couldn't envy and couldn't think of.
"Yo, Miss Su Er is not embroidering handkerchiefs for the prince at home, why did she come here?" A Tianjin lady dressed in purple silk and gold knitting said sourly.
Su Nian sat down and shook the fan in his hand, "The embroidery was just sent to the prince yesterday, and the prince likes it." Soho said, the first half of the sentence is true, the second half of the sentence is made up, she didn't even see Zhou Jinghan's face!
"It's still Miss Su Er's blessing to be able to get the favor of the prince."
"That's right, Miss Su Er, can you tell us how you met the prince?" Several women gathered around.
Su Nian only felt that her heart was extremely happy, but when she thought that she had no intersection with Zhou Jinghan, Su Nian panicked for a while, and she didn't know why Zhou Jinghan suddenly fell in love with her, but then she was relieved when she thought about Su Nian, maybe she was her own appearance, and Zhou Jinghan might fall in love with her at first sight.
After chatting with everyone for a while, Su Nian's words were full of pride, and even his tone was a little higher than usual.
"Okay, okay, I can't talk to you anymore, this time is different from the past, I have to go back to embroider a veil for the prince!" With that, Su Nian stood up and left with his head held high.
Back in the house, Su Nian wanted to go back to her yard to embroider quickly, but she suddenly changed her mind and walked to Soho.
"Yo, my sister is so idle, tsk, I see that you have nothing to do all day, and it is really cheap for you to live in such a big and good yard." Su Nian shook the fan and walked back and forth, carefully looking at the grass and trees in the yard, just like she had never been, Su Nian remembered that this yard was personally cleaned up by Zhou Jinghan for Su He to live in, she felt unhappy for a while, but when she remembered that Zhou Jinghan did all this to get close to herself, Su Nian was not angry.
"The second lady is not in her yard, hurry up to make these three hundred and sixty-five handkerchiefs, why do you still have spare time to come to me? If I were you, I wouldn't be able to sleep. Soho sneered at the corners of her mouth.
Su Nian snorted lightly, "I still need you to tell me this?" Soho, although it is said that this courtyard was ordered by the prince to be allocated for you to live in, but now the prince likes me, I don't want you to live, you have to move out! ”
Su Ho didn't care at all, she whispered, "Okay, then the second miss might as well go and talk about it, I also want to see how big your face is Second Miss." ”
"Hmph, sooner or later I'll make you regret talking to me in such a tone!" Su Nian shook his hand and left in a huff.
Soho looked at her back and shook her head secretly, poor man! This week, Jinghan doesn't know who thought of it for him.
also cocked their tails, as well as Su Yuandao and his wife.
In the old lady's room.
"Mother, this tree of coral is so beautiful! The shape is peculiar, and the color is good. Mrs. Liang looked at a small coral tree on the table and said.
The old lady nodded, "Yes, this was sent by Mrs. Liu, saying that her child brought it back from the East China Sea." ”
"Mrs. Liu's son is young and promising, and she is also blessed." Mrs. Liang chatted with the old man.
"Yes, by the way, if you like this coral, I'll bring it to you." The old lady said with a smile.
"Such a beautiful coral, come on, move to my house!" The second lady suddenly appeared and gave orders regardless of the order.
"Second sister, my mother just said, this is for me, you are a step late." Mrs. Liang endured it without having a seizure.
"Yes, I just said to the eldest daughter-in-law, if you want it too, I'll give it to you next time I get something good." The old lady also said.
The second lady was unrelenting, "No, I just want this, mother, now that the regent has taken a fancy to my family, then I can't clean up our place?" You have to put a few decent things on your face, and only then can you get by. ”
After the second lady finished speaking, she looked at Mrs. Liang with disdain.
"Forget it, you can take it if you like, I'm not uncommon with this." Mrs. Liang is reluctant to compete with this kind of person.
The second lady covered her mouth and smiled, "Yes, although Qing'er is married to the prince, but no one is willing to come, and you have nothing to arrange there. ”
Mrs. Liang couldn't help it, and sneered and said, "Don't be too happy, you don't have a single word, let's let Su Nian embroider these three hundred and sixty-five handkerchiefs well, don't do it when the time comes, and don't embroider it when the time comes, it will only make the prince angry!" ”
"You...... Hmph, how could our Nian'er make the prince angry? I see, there are people who can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour! The second lady spoke contemptuously.
Liang Rong looked at the second lady's flamboyant appearance, and naturally felt uncomfortable, but she also knew that there was no need for people like this to be as knowledgeable as them.
"I hope so." Liang Rong said lightly, and then stopped talking.
Seeing that Liang Rong no longer argued with herself, the second lady was even more proud, now her identity is different from the past, the regent will be her noble son-in-law in the future, and then the head of the Su Mansion should be replaced!
"Come on, move this coral to my house, and then go to the storeroom, and move the bed made of tung fragrant mahogany to me, and change the original one, oh, this bed is uncomfortable, I haven't slept well all night." The second lady commanded while rubbing her neck.
Liang Rong frowned instantly, "The Tongxiang mahogany is intended for my mother, and the bed in the second sister's house has only been changed for less than a month, so why should I change it again?" ”
The second lady didn't care, "Yo, it's just a bed, and when Nian'er is with the prince in the future, don't say it's a bed of Tongxiang mahogany, it's a rosewood bed, that's not uncommon, and then I'll build one for my mother." ”
The old lady was not unhappy, she smiled and said, "Okay, okay, if you like to move there, no matter how you say it, you must also pay attention to your identity, don't let the prince underestimate us, this is also a matter of giving Nian'er a long face!" ”
Now that the old lady has spoken, Liang Rong can't say anything, after all, the second room is in the limelight at this time, and she is not easy to offend.
As he was talking, the housekeeper arrived, and he handed the account book to Liang Rong, "Big lady, this is this month's account book, you can see it." ”
Liang Rong took the account book over, and his face changed as he flipped through it, "Why did you spend so much this month?" Three thousand taels? That's twice as much! ”
"This morning, the second master took 1,500 taels from the treasury."
"What? Why didn't I know? Liang Rong frowned and asked.
"Oh, I know about this, many people in the capital know about Nian'er and the prince, and he took it to invite someone to drink." The second lady said lightly.
Liang Rong sneered, co-authored now that she, the housewife, is just carrying a name? Just as he was about to get angry, a maid hurriedly came, "Second lady, the county lord is here, and he is going to the second lady." ”
"County Lord?" The second lady was a little surprised, "The county lord doesn't go to the eldest lady, why do you still go to our second room?" As she spoke, she glanced at Liang Rong.
"This ...... The county lord doesn't seem very happy, so you might as well go and check it out. The maid said.
As soon as the second lady heard this, she immediately stood up and left, although they have now climbed to the regent, but this county lord is not easy to mess with!
The county lord has arrived at Su Nian's house, Su Nian is engrossed in embroidering handkerchiefs, a pair of fiery red mandarin ducks have been formed, and Su Nian is embroidering the water plants on the side of the mandarin ducks.
