In a blink of an eye, it was almost the day of Su Rong's marriage, Su Xi proposed to Mrs. Lu to go back to her parents' house for one night and give her sister-in-law, Mrs. Lu didn't say anything when she heard it, nodded and agreed, and asked the maid to prepare a gift for Su Xi to bring with her.

On the day he left, Lu Youzhen watched Su Xi pack up his things, God knows how much he wanted to go with him, and after tasting the taste of sleeping with his daughter-in-law at night, he didn't want to sleep alone.

Su Xi secretly snickered, but her face was not obvious, seeing that Lu Youzhen was holding the change of clothes she had prepared and refused to let go, she picked up Lu Youzhen's face and kissed it, and coaxed: "Okay, I'll stay for one night, okay?" ”

She kissed the left cheek, and Lu Youzhen also offered the right cheek, signaling her to kiss her side too, which made Su Xi laugh at him like a child, but he still leaned in and kissed him.

Lu Youzhen was willing to return the clothes to Su Xi, and said, "I'll pick you up tomorrow." ”

Of course, Su Xi readily agreed, and asked Xianglan to put away her things and clothes, and was about to go out, Lu Youzhen also took her hand and said, "You must miss me." ”

Su Xi couldn't cry or laugh, and she didn't know that she thought she was going to go far away. She repeatedly assured Lu Youzhen that she would miss him, which made Lu Youzhen let go.

Su Xi, who was sitting in the carriage, was full of thoughts about Lu Youzhen's last complaining eyes, and couldn't help but smirk stupidly for a while, pandan vanilla glanced at each other, and then looked at their master's eyes with some jokingness.

It's a pity that Su Xi was too involved in thinking about it, and he didn't notice the eyes of the maids at all.

When he arrived at Su Mansion, Su Xi first went to see the old lady and his mother Pei, and finally went to Lan Huayuan. Today is the day to add makeup to the bride, and there are many people in Lanhuayuan, in addition to her own sisters, there are many people she doesn't know.

Sitting next to Su Rong was a girl dressed in green, with a goose egg face who was delicate and cute, and the golden hairpin rings on her head were all from the Imperial Treasure Pavilion, which showed that her identity was extraordinary.

I only heard her say: "Tomorrow is Sister Rong's big day, we can't be stingy as sisters, Qiaoqiao, quickly bring the makeup I prepared." ”

Beside her, a maid was holding a brocade box in both hands, walking cautiously, staring at the box with a wrong eyeball, as if it contained some priceless treasure.

The girl took the brocade box in the maid's hand, but she was not in a hurry to open it, and said slowly: "This is specially made by the master of the Imperial Treasure Pavilion for Sister Rong, and the master painted the drawings for three days and three nights. ”

The curiosity of all the girls was aroused, and they all asked what it was, telling her to open it quickly, and Su Rong also looked at the brocade box with an expectant expression.

The girl in green whetted everyone's appetite, and then opened the box, only to see a flower-wearing peony and butterflies lying in the middle of it.

The golden peonies compete to open, the lifelike butterflies fly among the flowers, and the tassels that fall are all strung with pearls as large as rice grains.

Everyone was amazed, Su Rong also looked at this step shake with a good eye, she liked it as soon as she saw it, but she also knew that this thing was definitely not cheap, and it was not something that a little girl like them could afford.

Su Rong was ruthless, and still said to the girl in green: "Xuan'er, this step is really good-looking, but it is too expensive, how can I ask you to spend money like this." ”

"Sister Rong's words are not right, my sister and I hit it off at first sight, just like my own sister, I naturally want to give my sister the best gift, my sister will not be unwilling to be a sister with me." The girl in green was anxious as she spoke, looking like she was about to cry.

Su Rong hurriedly explained: "Of course not, I would like to be sisters with Sister Xuan'er, it's just ......"

"There is nothing 'just' or 'but', since you are willing to be a sister with me, accept your sister's congratulatory gift," the girl interrupted Su Rong's words, and directly took back the box and stuffed it into Su Rong's arms.

Su Rong touched the brocade box, and her heart was also struggling, and the girls around her coaxed her to accept it, saying that she should not live up to others' wishes. Su Rong accepted it half-pushed, and thanked the girl in green.

When Su Xi came over, she happened to see everyone persuading Su Rong to accept the step, she didn't know the situation, and Su Yun on the side quietly pulled her to tell her about the situation.

Su Xi was very surprised, she had an impression of that step shake, Jiang Wumeng came to Momei Courtyard once later, showed her the step shake, and said that if Su Xi liked it, he would stay.

Su Xi really liked it, but when he heard that the drawings were customized by the guests themselves, he gave up, but he didn't expect that they were specially customized for Su Rong.

"Where's that girl in green? It's so generous. Su Xi asked.

Su Yun pursed his lips and said, "If there is anyone else in Sifang City who has this skill, it is naturally the prefect Zhou family." ”

Since the Wu family was escorted to the capital, the affairs of Sifang City have been handed over to Zhou Hao, the same knowledge, and the official documents of the Ministry of Officials have also arrived in Sifang City a few days ago, and Zhou Tongzhi has become Zhou Zhifu.

The girl in green is Zhou Yunxuan, the daughter of Zhou Governor's Mansion.

The dignified prefect lady actually gave Su Rong such a valuable gift, Su Xi instinctively felt that something was not right, and at that time, Jiang Wumeng said that it was a man with a face who made this step, and he didn't sign up, put down the deposit and left.

Su Xi didn't understand the reason, thinking that he would see Lu Youzhen tomorrow and see what he said.

Su Xi entered the house, said hello to Su Rong, and also sent the makeup he prepared, which was a complete set of gem heads, also from the Imperial Treasure Pavilion, and everyone was also amazed, secretly envious of the mortal.

Zhou Yunxuan's unexpectedly enthusiastic about Su Xi gave her a seat and asked her to be next to Su Rong, and praised her for her outstanding temperament.

Definitely there is a problem! Su Xi thought secretly.

Waiting for Su Rong to send off the guests, Su Xi and Su Yun said a few words of blessing to Su Rong again and left hand in hand, just a short distance out of Lanhuayuan, he saw the eldest sister Su Meng walking towards Lanhuayuan alone.

"The eldest sister is now at home, staying in the room all day long, and she doesn't even dare to interfere in Su Rong's wedding, saying that she is afraid of bringing bad luck to Su Rong." Su Yun sighed.

The two of them had already missed Su Meng, so they didn't turn back to say hello, which was also what Su Yun meant, she said, Su Meng always avoided them now, and even the old lady rarely went to say goodbye.

Su Xi frowned and looked at Su Meng's back, and didn't speak until Su Meng's figure disappeared into Lanhuayuan before pulling Su Yun towards the Hefeng Courtyard.

Dinner was naturally eaten in Pei's Hefeng Courtyard, and Pei's personally cooked a table of dishes, all of which Su Xi liked to eat, as well as a large bowl full of thick almond dew.

The eldest master, Pei's family, eldest brother Wenqin, third brother Wenhai, Su Yun and Su Xi, the family gathered around a table. This meal, Su Xi ate very happily.

In the evening, Su Xi drove Master Su to the study and slept with Pei Shi. The mother and daughter lay on the bed and chatted about their recent lives for a while, and then turned the topic to Su Rong, who will marry tomorrow.

"Mother, do you know the daughter of the Zhou Governor's family? She seems to have a very good relationship with the third sister. Su Xi asked.

As soon as the Pei family heard that the Zhou family was energetic, they babbled and said, "You said Xuan'er? I know, why don't I know, that kid looks like a sign and is smart, and I like it when I see it.

"Mrs. Zhou also said that she wanted to marry our family, but unfortunately your father did not agree. Alas! What a good girl, but our family doesn't have this blessing. ”

"Huh? The Zhou family has a crush on the eldest brother? Su Xi was very surprised, obviously he was in a hurry to climb those who were officials, but no one paid attention to them, but now he doesn't have such thoughts, but people take the initiative to come to the door.

Pei shook his head and said, "It's not your eldest brother, it's your third brother, it is said that Governor Zhou appreciated the article written by your third brother very much, so he wanted to get married." But your father said that it is not good to distract your third brother, and he will wait for him to be admitted to fame before discussing marriage. ”

"No wonder Zhou Yunxuan is so enthusiastic." Su Xi told Pei Shi about the makeup in Su Rong's room during the day.

"Xuan'er is really a good boy." Pei's has always praised Zhou Yunxuan, it can be seen that he really likes it, but Pei's feels that the step sent by Zhou Yunxuan is about unusual.

She thought for a while and said to Su Xi: "I think the Zhou family is quite strange, we are a merchant, how can there be a reason for the prefect's family to flatter us."

"But Mrs. Zhou is really affectionate to our family, and when she saw that Wenhai couldn't do it, she said that she wanted to marry Yun'er for her son, but her son was still two years younger than Yun'er.

"I'm wondering, what do we have to worry about in the prefect's family, we have to hurry up to get married."

This matter is not only confused by the Pei family, but even Master Su finds it difficult to understand, but the prefect is willing to make friends with the Su family, and they have no reason not to accept it, but they are becoming more and more cautious in their work.

In fact, not only the Zhou family, but also many deaf and clear-sighted official mansions in Sifang City began to make friends with the Su family, especially the Su family's big house, which was all due to the flowing rewards of the three masters in the palace on the day Su Xi got married.

It's not that the Su family can't think of this, but with the status of the Zhou family, there is really no need to surrender their identity to befriend the Su family, as long as they set fewer thresholds for the Su family when doing things on weekdays, it is enough to make Master Su grateful.

Pei Shi didn't understand this, and he didn't bother to think about it, anyway, it was right to leave the outside affairs to Master Su to worry about, she asked Su Xi to go to bed early, and she had to get up early tomorrow.

After a while, Pei's even breathing sound came from her side, but Su Xi was not sleepy at all, she thought about Su Rong, thought about the Zhou family, and thought about Lu Youzhen the most.

Su Xi waited almost until dawn with his eyes open.

As soon as the morning dawned, Pei's was busy, directing the maid to hang red silk and paste the word "happy", and the melon and fruit snacks in the kitchen should also be prepared quickly, and the guests will come soon.

Su Xi naturally couldn't intervene, she went to Su Rong's room to see the bride.

Su Meng is reluctant to appear in front of people, naturally she will not appear in the bride's boudoir, Su Tong almost does not talk to Su Rong because of the previous incident, and naturally she will not come to join her and Wang Xuyang today.

Su Yun didn't want to see Wang Xuyang, so he went to the front yard by helping Pei's guests to greet them, Su Zhen was young, and the Yang family was secretive about the second room, so how could he let her come over.

In the end, Su Xi was the only one among the sisters who accompanied Su Rong to spend the last bit of time in her daughter's house.
