It took three days to finish the shop under the name of Tingzhuyuan and count the account books. After the opening of the imperial court, Su Mian's father and son were so busy that their feet touched the ground, and Li Qinse ran on both sides of the barracks and mansion, and it was difficult to have a time when the family gathered.

The account books brought back from Jinxiu are piled up in the cabinet and are about to fall into dust, and today Su Xiangsi can finally be idle to check the reply. Xue Zi asked Nan Zhi to urge him several times, chattering about how there could be such a shopkeeper.

Lying on the chaise longue, he wore a fleece shirt at will, his smooth black hair was pulled back at will, covered with a thin blanket and baking on the stove, and his legs were crossed, slowly flipping through the account books. After Xue Zi's training, the accounts are clear and clear, and it doesn't seem to be difficult.

Hot tea and snacks are placed on a low table so you can reach them at the touch of your hand.

The plum blossoms in the Sijing Garden are in full bloom, and the sea of flowers attracts the young ladies and sons to enjoy the flowers and compose lyrics, and Xue Zi ordered people to pick some and send them to listen to the bamboo courtyard. The rosin has good craftsmanship, and it is very suitable for her to make plum cakes.

This is comfortable, Su Xiangsi wants to hum a little song beautifully.

"Miss, Mother Qin is here." The little maid stood outside the bead curtain and lowered her head respectfully.

Su Xiangsi's hand was weak, and the heavy account book smashed on his body.

Liu Wu helped Su Xiangsi to sit upright, and Rosin personally opened the door curtain to welcome Qin's mother into the house.

"I've seen Miss Three." Mother Qin bowed politely, couldn't find any mistakes, and was a little respectful.

Su Xiangsi raised her eyebrows and propped her elbows on the desk: "No need to be polite, but grandmother has orders?" ”

"Someone is here in the palace, and there is a third lady waiting in the front hall." deliberately emphasized the first few words, and raised his eyes to secretly look at the third lady's expression.

The three of them looked at each other silently.

"Got it, pack it up and go over. I'm tired of Qin's mother running this trip. The smile on Su Xiangsi's lips was very flat, and there was no joy as expected.

I couldn't figure out the tone of the third lady, and the words didn't spread well.

Rosin Xiang sent Qin's mother out and stuffed a few pieces of broken silver into her hand: "Qin's mother has worked hard this time, take it to drink hot tea." ”

Mother Qin is an old man in the house, and she has seen a lot of gold, silver and jewelry in her decades of serving Mrs. Su. He has a lot of status among the subordinates, and the people below are vying for filial piety. didn't shirk it, accepted the broken silver with peace of mind, twisted his thin waist and walked out of the Tingzhu Courtyard.

Liu Wu changed into a decent dress for Su Xiangsi and combed her hair in a bun.

"Could the queen be in a hurry?"

"No, just look at them and you'll know what the hell they're doing."

It was a big deal for someone to come to the palace to spread the word, and Mrs. Su sat at the head and laughed with her, anxious that Su Xiangsi was not sensible, and waited for half a pillar of incense before it arrived. Father-in-law Zhuo sat down and took a sip of the tea, and he was not in a hurry.

It's no wonder that Su Xiangsi is slow, and the bamboo courtyard is indeed far away from the main hall. When the old lady was about to lose her face, the girl finally walked slowly into the main hall.

"Father-in-law Zhuo, this is the third granddaughter of the old body." Mrs. Su beckoned to her cordially and pulled Su Xiangsi to sit down beside her.

snuggled up obediently beside Mrs. Su

"It's an honor to meet the third lady." Gonggong Zhuo smiled and bowed to his hand.

"Father-in-law is polite, please take a seat." Turning his head, his tone was calm but full of doubts: "Grandmother, ...... this?" What about the two sisters? ”

Mrs. Su was quite proud: "Father-in-law Zhuo is on an errand in the queen's palace, and he has come to give you a message." ”

Su Xiangsi felt surprised, leaned forward slightly, her eyes widened, and she looked at Gonggong Zhuo in disbelief.

"The queen's mother said, the third lady will meet her eyes, and she will go to the palace tomorrow."

Every word clearly passed into Su Xiangsi's ears.

"Queen Xie, I will enter the palace on time tomorrow." After the surprise, don't forget the rules and kneel down to thank you.

Gonggong Zhuo smiled and bent down to help him up: "When the oracle arrives, the small ones won't bother your mansion much." ”

"Rosin, send Grandpa Zhuo quickly."

Father-in-law Zhuo walked away, and Su Xiangsi helped Mrs. Su get up.

"You come with me back to Yi'an Hospital."

Su Xiangsi bowed slightly, and helped the old lady to go back together.

The first of the three granddaughters to be called into the palace is the third child, and it is definitely an honor to be handpicked by the queen to enter the palace. The 100-year-old family strictly cultivates its offspring to continue the prosperity of the family.

Whether the decline or continuation of the lord's family is due to the Holy Long. Meritorious service in the court, and the harem has a foil, it is not an exaggeration to say that it can make a family prosperous.

The foundation of General Su's Mansion is the foundation of the Son of Heaven after four generations, relying on the blood of the ancestors to exchange for the foundation, but there is no precedent for a woman to enter the palace as a concubine. was planning to send Su Qing or Su Yiling into the palace, but she was not selected in the draft. Every year, he was brought to the palace banquet and received special treatment in the eyes of the emperor. can't keep dragging it out and marry Su Qing, so he can only pin his hopes on Su Yiling.

Su Qing's father failed to make the officialdom, but he had a business mind, so he assigned the shops, fields, and Zhuangzi under the name of the general's mansion to the big house management. Although Su Yiling's father was on the list, he was just a small idle official.

But their daughters are all angry.

Su Mian grew up in the barracks with General Su since he was a child, and his ability to lead troops to fight is even better than that of General Su. But her daughter's learning is too mediocre.

Parents have a very high status, even if they don't work hard, their children's future is higher than others.

No, he was summoned to the palace without making a sound.

The old lady Su whispered softly and told the rules for entering the palace, and in a trance she thought that the old lady in front of her was kind to her relatives.

Su Xiangsi lowered her eyebrows and responded one by one, and gave her a set of hollow golden lotus flowers inlaid with rubies. I was happy in my heart, sat for a while in Yi'an Hospital, and carefully chatted with the old lady to relieve my boredom.

The words of this half-day are more than the words of the ancestors and grandchildren in the past few years. The relationship is not as cold as it was from that point.

Mother Qin sent the third lady out and helped Mrs. Su back to the back room. Gongshun whispered to Su Xiangsi's reaction when he went to listen to the words of the bamboo courtyard.

"It's too old to live at this age." Old Mrs. Su laughed intriguingly when she heard this.

Mother Qin's heart moved slightly, and she comforted: "The third lady is still shallow in the world, and the old lady will spend a little more thought, and the third miss will also be close to you." ”

Mrs. Su lay on the bed and beckoned to the maid on the side, who would squat on the edge of the couch and skillfully beat her legs.

"The third girl is a usable one."

A calm sentence, Qin's mother already understood the meaning.

Su Qing's graceful figure stood in front of Su Mingyuan's desk to polish ink, and often discussed the arguments in the book together on weekdays.

This morning, she was absent-minded, and someone from the palace sent a message to Su Xiangsi. I already knew in my heart who it was to pass on, and the unwilling emotion in my heart couldn't be shaken away.

Su Mingyuan glanced at her, didn't poke her mind, put down the pen and picked up the teacup to moisten her mouth.

Wu Pei, who had been out for a long time, hurriedly came back: "Miss, the third lady sat in the old lady's room for an hour before leaving, and she still brought a set of high-quality heads. ”

Su Qing's hand grinding the ink was stiff, and the ink splashed out of the inkstone and dripped on the tablecloth, quickly fainting. This tablecloth doesn't work.

"Look, I'm too careless." Raising her eyes to look at her brother, she had long stopped writing, because she was seriously distracted.

"The third sister is also lucky, and it seems that she is almost at the age of saying goodbye." How could Su Mingrun not know the thoughts of his mother and sister, everything he endured now was not for status and wealth.

"It seems that the third sister is not the same night."

Su Mingrun snorted softly from her throat.

Orchid House

"The third lady has already listened to the bamboo courtyard, does the young lady still send the sachet to the old lady?" Yanwen sat on a low round chair and took care of the leftover needlework, and the young lady looked out the window for a long time, and couldn't help but make a sound.

Su Yiling's lips raised, and her eyes pulled back the sachet in her hand: "It's going to change, so I won't go today." ”

Yanwen leaned out and looked out the window, it was a sunny day. Although the wind is still blowing, there is no snow. It doesn't look like it's going to change.

Su Xiangsi returned to the house and threw the set of hair and noodles on the dresser casually, and the last thing she lacked was rare treasures and jewelry. Thinking about it, this was the first time that the old lady gave her something valuable. In the past, the old lady pressed a lot of dowry jewelry at the bottom of the box to the two sisters.

Now I'm afraid that the news has spread, and I can't keep a low profile in the future.
