The maid took down the finished lunch in a safe and orderly manner, and brought two cups of tea for Su Xiangsi and Li Qinse to swallow before the whole meal was over.

Su Xiangsi wiped the corners of her mouth clean, turned her head sideways, and instructed Liu Wu: "Go and check again if the prepared gifts are complete." ”

As soon as the catkins stepped out of the threshold and retreated, they replied softly: "Mother Qin from Yi'an Hospital is here." ”

He sneered from his throat, put down the disdain in his eyes, and nodded to let people in.

Mother Qin was followed by three little maids, standing respectfully in the room with a brocade box in her hand. Mother Qin's shrewd old face was full of flattery and flattery: "The old lady heard that the third lady was going to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War, so she specially asked the old slave to send these things for the third lady to bring with her." ”

"I have to bother Mother Qin to bring a message back for me, thank you grandmother for worrying. It's just that...... My grandfather's family has not been waiting to see us, and we may have been disappointed. Nodding to the catkins, the latter willingly stepped forward to take the brocade box from the maid's hand.

"This ...... This...... As long as the third lady does her best, the rest is fine. "Mother Qin thought that Lord Shangshu of the Ministry of War would take a hand for the sake of the family, but she forgot that the Shangshu of the Ministry of War did not give General Su's Mansion a good look.

Rosin happened to come into the house and replied that the carriage had been packed up and was ready to go.

Li Qinse said a few words of sad advice to send her out of the door of the Listening Bamboo Courtyard, and then her eyes were gloomy and she turned back to the house, Qin's mother saw these in her eyes without a trace, and when she returned to Yi'an Courtyard, she explained everything clearly.

Horse-drawn carriages, decorated simply and magnificently, move slowly through the streets, with a wooden plaque carved on the front of the carriage with a Su character carved on it. The people consciously moved out of the way and let the carriages go first. It should be that a certain master in General Su's mansion has left the mansion.

The wheels of the car ran over the bluestone slabs, and the sound of 'da-da' horses' hooves was a few points closer to the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of War. The coachman tightened the reins slightly, the carriage stopped at the gate of the mansion, and Su Xiangsi's body also followed. Rosin and neatly got out of the carriage and put a flat wooden bench.

Su Xiangsi twisted up the dress with one hand, put the other hand on the palm of Rosin Xiang, stretched out her legs and stepped firmly on the wooden bench to land easily.

The doorman leaned against the doorframe, heard the neighing of the horses, and opened his eyes in a daze, to see that the third lady had already stepped on the steps of the door. The drowsiness instantly ran away, and bowed a few times to Su Xiangsi: "I've seen the third miss, I've seen the third miss." Please, the lord and the lady are inside. ”

Su Xiangsi pursed her lips and smiled: "Go and help, there are a lot of things in the car." ”

The people on the street naturally saw Su Xiangsi leading people to carry a brocade box into the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department.

"Good boy, come and show your grandmother." When the Qin family heard that the next person had come to report that Su Xiangsi had come to the door, he didn't care about taking care of the embroidery thread, so he went out to greet him with joy.

Su Xiangsi saw that the smile on the face of the grandmother with Cimei deepened, and she took a few steps forward and took Qin's arm and entered the house together: "I can finally take a time to see my grandmother." ”

Qin knew that Su Xiangsi was so happy that the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes deepened, so he didn't leave this lovely granddaughter, holding her hand and refusing to let go.

"Hey, what are you guys doing, come up with some snacks. Let the kitchen prepare more dishes, and the third lady will eat in the house tonight. ”

Rosin and the maid Rose in the house saluted each other, Rose took the brocade box in Rosin's hand and placed it, and the snacks brought by the other little maids filled the table.

"You kid, what are you doing with these when you come?" Old Madam Qin pushed the dim sum in front of her and motioned for her to eat more.

Su Xiangsi leaned over and said meaningfully: "It was Mrs. Su who ordered me to bring it to my grandmother." ”

"Why be so polite." The smile on Old Madam Qin's face decreased a few points, Su Mian is a good son-in-law, as for others, they may not be good in-laws.

"This time, thanks to those people in General Su's mansion, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to come and see my grandmother." Su Xiangsi squeezed Old Lady Qin's hand soothingly, blinking slyly, causing Old Lady Qin to laugh out loud.

Lord Shangshu and Mrs. Qin have two sons and a daughter in this life, and Li Qinse is the youngest daughter in the family and enjoys the favor of the entire Shangshu Mansion.

The two sons also served in the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Rites respectively, and the family could be smooth. It's a pity that Li Qinse married into General Su's mansion, there are many people in it, and there are always some bumps in the days.

Su Xiangsi rarely came to visit, and the two aunts also got along well, and in just a few words, they could amuse Old Madam Qin and take care of other people's feelings, and the laughter in the courtyard continued all day long. As soon as Li Shangshu stepped into the gate of the mansion, someone hurriedly reported it, and he didn't dare to delay for a moment and went straight to his wife's courtyard.

After dinner was ready, the two uncles came back one after another, and the niece rarely came to have dinner and contributed her collection of good wine to have a few drinks.

It was only after a long time that Su Xiangsi turned to the topic: "Grandmother asked me to persuade my father to find a job in the sixth department to pass the time for the two elder brothers, but I couldn't persuade my father to come to my grandfather." ”

Li Shangshu was puzzled: "Old Mrs. Su was insatiable when she was young, and now that she is old, she is still in a hurry. ”

"The case of illegal salt came out, and the emperor is now cracking down on six departments, and Mrs. Su actually dares to take this risk." Uncle Li Shengyu disagreed, this kind of thing is not a formal way, and in the future, the emperor will be suspicious, which is very unfavorable to General Su's mansion.

Su Xiangsi laughed coincidentally: "It's really the day when the matter is revealed, I still need my grandfather to take in our family." ”

"The family said that they would not take it in, so don't go back tonight and stay for a few more days."

"Yes, it is said outside that Sister Acacia has a strange temperament and doesn't like to go out. Today I found out that those people like to talk nonsense. It would be nice if my sister could stay a few more days. ”

The little girl is the youngest daughter of her second uncle Li Jianing, and she has been sticking to Su Xiangsi all day long and refusing to leave, just chatting a few words, she found that Su Xiangsi is too knowledgeable, and there is no distance to treat people, and she likes it all of a sudden.

"I can take care of this, grandfather and uncle, don't worry. I'm tired of listening to the food in the bamboo courtyard, and I'm going to come to eat tomorrow. "Su Xiangsi has been a measured person since she was a child, and since she said that she could solve it by herself, she would let them lift a stone and shoot herself in the foot.

After dinner, Su Xiangsi couldn't stay any longer, and Mrs. Qin held her hand and burst into tears, and in the next second, she wanted to immediately order her subordinates to go to the side courtyard to clean up a guest room.

Su Xiangsi solemnly promised that he would come back tomorrow, so he frowned and sent out of the military department Shangshufu, with a sad face, and there were faint tears on his face.

I didn't expect it to be so late that the gate of General Su's Mansion was still open waiting for her, Su Xiangsi deliberately bypassed a crowded path to listen to the bamboo courtyard, but she didn't expect to meet Su Yiling who went out to eat.

Su believed that his heart was depressed, and he slowly exhaled a breath from his chest, looking pitiful and wanting to cry without tears. Weak and weak, she bowed slightly, and her voice could clearly hear a little crying: "Second sister." ”

"Third sister, what's wrong? But was he wronged by his grandfather? Su Yiling noticed that Su Xiangsi's face was wrong through the light under the corridor, and tried to speak.

Su Xiangsi was embarrassed to deceive her head, not letting her see it clearly, and replied vaguely: "It's just a little thing, and it's not the first time I haven't seen my grandfather." I waited for a long time and couldn't eat, and I couldn't support my strength and had to come back. ”

Hearing her explain like this, Su Yiling was distressed, but she didn't know how to comfort her: "Go back and rest." ”

Su Xiangsi nodded silently, and then did not stay for long.

"It's time to go and copy Buddhist scriptures with my grandmother." When Su Xiangsi's figure walked away, Su Yiling muttered a sentence and turned around and walked in the direction of Yi'an Hospital.

On the other side, Su Xiangsi collapsed on the bed and screamed when she returned to Tingzhuyuan: "It's so supportive, I have eaten too much." ”
