"Mrs. Xiao is really polite, I am already grateful for your willingness to come to Dajia, this piece of jade is too valuable."

Come and come, and bring any gifts, why does this sound so kind. Su Jiao couldn't help but want to laugh in her heart, and then Mrs. Lin waved her hand, and she solemnly took the box from Mu Hibiscus's hand.

"Mochizuki, don't you put things away so deeply. Mrs. Xiao, please come here. ”

When the words landed, the maid beside Mrs. Lin put away the box, and Mrs. Lin raised her hand and took the initiative to lead the way for Su Jiao.

The venue of the banquet is in the back garden of the Lin family's compound, and now the big families in the capital have long been tired of it, and they all feel that they have a different artistic conception to eat next to the bonsai flowers in the house.

Not to mention that Mrs. Lin's banquet this time turned out to be a winding banquet, a long stone table was carved to look like natural erosion, and a circle of wooden tables was encircled around the side to avoid staining the clothes.

In the center of the stone table there are two small canals side by side, and at the exit of each canal there is a maid who takes care of the speed of the water flow, and arranges the floating water plate for serving, so that when the cook's dish is finished, the water can be sent up in a step-by-step manner.

A beautiful bonsai rockery flower in the garden is nothing, only this flowing water mat looks extraordinarily elegant. Su Jiao couldn't help but open her mouth slightly, in modern times, although she had also eaten a similar method of noodles, but after all, she still experienced it in ancient times, which was more interesting.

"My birthday is all home-cooked food, Mrs. Xiao is not disgusted, please sit down, or walk around in this garden, and tell her subordinates if you need anything. There are many guests today, and it is inevitable that there will be places that are not well taken care of, so please forgive Mrs. Xiao. ”

Such a banquet, no matter which dynasty it is placed in, is probably not cheap. I thought that the Lin family knew something obscure, but I didn't expect that the money would be used on this kind of blade, and the feeling of low-key luxury was really enviable.

After thinking about it, Su Jiao also raised a smile and nodded to her dignifiedly, "Mrs. Lin go get busy, it's still early at the moment, I'll go around, Mrs. Lin doesn't have to worry about me." ”

"Okay." Mrs. Lin smiled lightly and agreed, and this one turned around and saw a lady who was surrounded by many maids and dressed like a fairy, and her eyes suddenly lit up, and she hurried forward to greet her.

"It's the Duchess here, it's really a sparkle in the humble house."

It turned out that this sentence was a fixed process, Su Jiao couldn't help snickering in her heart, raised her handkerchief and pretended to cough, and led the hibiscus and them to the small pond pavilion on the side.

However, before Su Jiao could get there, she was stopped in advance.

"Mrs. Xiao, you can be regarded as here, I was still strange at first, why didn't you come with me, I didn't expect that you had already found a way to make Mrs. Lin and you change their minds."

As soon as she heard this, Su Jiao naturally thought of who it was, turned around and waited for her to come over with a smile, "The countess said that it was better to deal with it only for a while. ”

"If I hadn't heard from you, Mrs. Lin likes jade, and I went to such great lengths to find a rough stone everywhere, I'm afraid that I wouldn't be able to talk to Mrs. Lin so freely today."

The original stone was indeed found by Su Jiao in person to find it all over the capital, but in the end, Xiao Huai'an was asked to reimburse him, so he also helped him with things today, so it was not a loss.

Su Jiao couldn't help but smile in her heart, just when the countess walked up, her tone was really a little envious, "Yes, just now I saw that the rough stone picked by Mrs. Xiao over there is really good, the shape is very chic and easy to control, and it is not like other rough stones, for fear of wasting it,"

"And the quality of this piece of jadeite is not something that can be bought in ordinary stores, and I have always been rude, and I don't know anything about these things, but I didn't expect Mrs. Xiao to be so proficient."

In fact, when I was a movie queen, I was afraid of receiving a bad endorsement, so I developed a pair of fiery eyes.

After thinking about it, Su Jiao waved her hand, and the two affectionate hands with the countess went to the pavilion to sit and rest.

"I'm just lucky, if the Countess doesn't dislike it, I have a slightly smaller one there, but the quality is also good, I'll send it to you another day, or when the Countess wants to choose jade, I can also help."

"The so-called merit is not reluctant, how can I take Mrs. Xiao's things casually, but Mrs. can tell me, what do you like, when you celebrate your birthday one day, I will exchange with you, and it will be peaceful to have a relationship."

Although Countess Zhang Xinglin was born in a scholarly family, she seems to have also contracted the habits of Earl Yongen's military general, and she speaks and acts very chicly and upright.

As soon as she heard this, Su Jiao didn't want to continue, and nodded insistently, "Okay then." ”

Zhang Xinglin responded with a smile, and suddenly he didn't know what he saw, and his eyes kept staring straight ahead. Su Jiao followed her line of sight, and on the garden path on the other side of the pond, she saw Su Lian walking slowly in a plain white cloak, and the plain white cloak was also sealed with a snow-white rabbit fur collar.

"Although the weather is getting a little colder today, it is still hot as soon as the sun comes out, isn't it uncomfortable for her to wear such a thick one?" Su Jiao pursed her mouth and shook her head, she couldn't understand Su Lian's brain circuit.

And Su Jiao, as Su Lian's sister, didn't know, how could the countess understand, "If a woman is cold, she may have to wear thicker, but this problem can be cured, and besides, the fur collar on her cloak is really inappropriate." ”

"That is to say, how can someone wear plain white clothes at the birthday banquet." Su Jiao also echoed, but the countess shook her head.

"It doesn't matter, Mrs. Lin won't talk about it, the key is the fur collar on the cloak, it is rare for the Duchess of Pingcheng to come over today, she is allergic to this animal fur in her life, I am afraid that Su Lian will cause trouble when she comes over this time."

"Allergies, are they serious?" Hearing this, Su Jiao immediately put away Fang Cai's appearance of being out of the world, and couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

"It's okay, it's just a few more sneezes, but the Duchess has always been arrogant and unforgiving, and I don't usually like to deal with her, this time I think Su Lian will definitely be targeted by this Duchess."

The countess said lightly, because of Zhang Yuge's matter before, there was an indescribable account between her and Su Lian, but because she thought that Su Jiao was also here, she didn't show too much.

"That's right." Su Jiao muttered quietly, she didn't want to care about Su Lian's idle affairs, so as to save herself from being involved, but if she let it go, she would also fall into a reputation that disregarded the dignity of the family, and she couldn't figure it out.

Just as she was thinking about it, the countess suddenly got up, "Anyway, it's not too early, the banquet must be about to start, Madame Xiao might as well go back with me." ”

"Hmm." Su Jiao responded, and suddenly thought of something, so she stopped, "Okay, I'll go over and take a look, the countess will go over first, I'll come in a while." ”

"Mrs. Xiao is benevolent, I only hope that your sister can receive this favor from you." The Countess sighed, didn't stop much, and pointed out a closer path to Su Jiao by the way.

After Su Jiao thanked her, she lifted her skirt and ran to Su Lian in a few steps under the cover of the rockery, and Su Lian was enjoying the flowers here leisurely, and she was startled when she suddenly appeared.

"It turned out to be my sister's driver, I don't know what happened to my sister here?"

Standing still and calming her breath, Su Jiao looked at the fur-collared cloak she was wearing, and she felt hot for her.

"Isn't it too hot for you to wear such a thick one, the banquet is about to start, you might as well ask your maid to carry this cloak and hang it out for you, so as not to sweat on your back and make people see jokes."

"I never thought that my sister was here to care about my sister, but my sister misunderstood." Su Lian's eyes widened, first showing a little emotion, but then turning into embarrassment.

"It's just that this was originally given to me by His Royal Highness, how can my sister take it off at will, if Sister Lao bother, my sister will be careful."

"Do you think I really care about you, so I came to remind you, your words and deeds also represent the Su family, if you offend people by doing things inappropriately, it will affect me."

If, according to the countess, the Duchess of Heisei was really so calculating, wouldn't it be in vain for so many days to run back and forth among various families.

"This, my sister knows that her qualifications are crude, but she won't act inappropriately to such a point, sister, why do you say this about me?"

But just like the countess said, Su Lian really thought that Su Jiao was sarcastic to her face, her aggrieved nose was sour, and her long eyelashes flickered, as if tears would come out of her next moment.

"I really don't understand what you're thinking in your head, could it be that everyone else in this world except you and the third prince is trying to harm you?"

Su Jiao looked at her speechlessly, and she was afraid that someone would frame her again, so she hurriedly took a few steps back and separated herself from her.

"I ......" Su Lian pulled her handkerchief, biting her lower lip stubbornly, and she had an expression of grievance and did not dare to speak, which made Su Jiao feel more and more headaches, and just when the two were deadlocked, another person's voice came from behind.

"I'm sorry, I just happened to be passing by and heard it, not intentionally listening to the corner." While speaking, the visitor turned out from behind the rockery, and it was actually Li Shangshu's wife.

With a faint smile, Mrs. Li nodded to the two, "Please don't mind Mrs. Xiao." ”

As soon as she heard this, Su Jiao tilted her head, she just looked at Mrs. Li from a distance at the state banquet last time, and didn't remember her appearance, but Su Lian looked very familiar with Mrs. Li.
