Su Jiao put her hand down, turned her head away, and snorted incomprehensibly, before turning her head and saying lightly, "Father, I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize to Su Lian?" ”

"What's more, Huai'an has a clean breeze on his sleeves, and there are no precious medicinal materials at all. If it's really for Su Lian's sake, father, you might as well go to your own storehouse and look for it, maybe it will be faster than waiting for me to come. ”

"You are talking nonsense, Xiao Huai'an is so popular in front of the emperor, how can he not have some good things?" Master Su gritted his teeth, and he was polite in front of Xiao Huai'an just now, but now he was directly exposed.

"Besides, if I really have it in this house, why should I go to such great lengths to ask you, it can't be that you don't have his trust at all, and you can't even open the treasury, right?"

"Father doesn't have to provoke me with such words, how about me and Huai'an, didn't my father say that he wouldn't care anymore, why did he want me to go to his treasury to steal things today?" Su Jiao chuckled, she could be regarded as having seen too thoroughly to Master Su.

"Besides, what kind of medicinal herbs are they, what kind of illness does Su Lian have, is it possible that she is still terminally ill, why don't the three princes think of a way to save people?"

"The third prince is trapped, and he has no choice. Li'er's body has always been delicate, and this serious illness is to take half of her life, and she needs to use Snow Lotus to take care of it. This fine snow lotus can only be given by the palace, so I want you to find one for your sister. ”

Master Su's words made Su Jiao feel an inexplicable sense of familiarity somehow. The corners of Su Jiao's eyes twitched unconsciously, and she heard Master Su continue to say later.

"What's more, if you really get Xiao Huai'an's favor and take something out of your own house, how can you steal it, I think you just don't want to hope that your sister is good."

"If you don't ask if you steal it, if your father really thinks it's that simple, why don't you just talk to Huai'an yourself, you have to come and ask me, it's all a family." Su Jiao really couldn't understand Master Su's thoughts, and she didn't dare to continue to climb with him, so as not to lead herself astray, so she took a step back and bowed respectfully.

"Listening to my father's words, my sister should just be a simple cold and sadness, a small problem, and my father really doesn't have to go to such great lengths, there is really no one in Huai'an's warehouse, I haven't seen it. At this point, whether the father believes it or not, the mother is still waiting for me, and the daughter will say goodbye first. ”

When the words landed, Su Jiao turned around and left directly, leaving Master Su even more resentful to point at her back, "You, rebel, rebel!" ”

In the courtyard, Mrs. Su was still preparing to make a mold for dim sum, and suddenly looked up and saw Su Jiao walking back with a sullen face, and couldn't help but ask with concern.

"Jiao'er, what's wrong with you, but your father scolded you again?"

Su Jiao raised her head and squeezed out an extraordinarily reluctant smile at Mrs. Su, and Mu Rong beside her spoke indignantly for her.

"Madam, don't you know what the master said about our young lady just now, and ask her to go to Lord Xiao's treasury to get medicine for the second miss, but the young lady refuses, and Master Su gets angry, fortunately, the young lady walks fast, otherwise I don't know how long I will be reprimanded by the adult."

"Master, how can the master be like this, Jiao'er is also his daughter!" Mrs. Su stomped her feet angrily, almost scattering the freshly dried petals on her hands.

"Mother calm down, don't be angry, my daughter is fine." Su Jiao was angry and wanted to laugh in her heart, and stretched out her hand to help her, but Mrs. Su stuffed the petals in her arms.

"Isn't she Su Lian just a little feverish, the doctor said it's nothing, just lie down and sweat for two days, but grandpa wants to tell you to hurry back with the medicine, I want to see when the old man learned the medical skills, which is more effective than the doctor outside."

Saying that, Mrs. Su lifted the hem of her skirt and was about to run over, Su Jiao suddenly panicked when she saw it, and hurriedly pulled the person in a hurry, "Mother doesn't have to go, why bother arguing with my father so much, aren't you used to how you came over before, fortunately, the daughter has already rejected her mother, so why let her father hold our handle." ”

Su Jiao hurriedly grabbed her arm, and Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong also stabilized Mrs. Su alone, and Mrs. Su finally stopped.

Su Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, patted Mrs. Su's chest to soothe, and took her back to the chaise longue in the courtyard to sit down, "Not to mention that we can't change our father's mind for a while, mother might as well ignore nothing and take care of herself,"

"I've been here for so long, and my daughter is a little hungry, so my mother might as well hurry up and teach my daughter how to make flower cakes."

"I'm so angry with the old man, I actually forgot about it, the petals just now are still there, right?" Mrs. Su pressed her forehead and was persuaded by her to calm her grievances.

As soon as they heard this, Mu Hibiscus and Mu Rong, who were in charge of carrying the petals, looked down and saw that the petals that Mrs. Su had dried before, and they had all been sprinkled into the soil by her excitement earlier.

And the ones that Su Jiao went out to pick didn't pick much because she was disturbed by Lord Su.

And in order to hold Mrs. Su in time, Su Jiao directly threw the basket on the ground, and now only a thin layer is still left in the basket.

Su Jiaoyue retracted her gaze a little embarrassed, and Mrs. Su smiled embarrassedly, "Okay, the petals are not blooming well at this time, let's wait until next month to make flower cakes." ”

"Mother has already soaked a bucket of mung beans yesterday, so today it is better to teach you how to make mung bean soup first."

"Okay." Su Jiao obediently agreed to help Mrs. Su enter the door, but she didn't want the maid Xiaolian beside Mrs. Su to hurriedly run over from the small kitchen in the back.

"Madame, it's not good, yesterday's mung beans didn't soak well, and they all sprouted."

The sudden news made Mrs. Su and Su Jiao stay in place for a while, "This, otherwise you will forget about these mung bean fried poon choi." ”

So on this day, Su Jiao deliberately went home for a whole day, accompanied Mrs. Su to eat a bowl of fried bean sprouts, and symbolically went to see Su Lian, and Su Jiao came back.

However, the next day, Su Jiao received a post from the Zhang family, written by Mrs. Hubu Shangshu herself.

"Although I have some dealings with the Countess, I have only met her once, so how could she think of inviting me over to play?" Su Jiao looked at the exquisitely crafted post in her hand, and habitually fell into doubt.

And Mu Rong was the person specially sent by Xiao Huai'an to serve her, so she thought about it more carefully, so she said, "Although the countess is free and easy by nature, if the Earl's Mansion of Yong'an is conformist, she may not be able to be so comfortable all the time. ”

"Mrs. Shangshu is from the Earl of Yong'an's Mansion, maybe Mrs. can also talk about it."

"Maybe, but knowing people and knowing faces but not hearts, friends who have been around for a long time may not be able to see it, not to mention that we haven't seen much yet."

Su Jiao said, feeling that she was overreacting, so she just talked about it, but in fact, she didn't forget to ask Mu Hibiscus to arrange the carriage.

Since Xiao Huai'an's mansion was some distance from Hubu Shangshu's house, when she was halfway there, Su Jiao suddenly remembered to buy some small gifts, otherwise it would not look good to go empty-handed, so she stopped and delayed some effort.

By the time Su Jiao's carriage arrived, it was almost noon.

The household department is divided according to the grade, but it is a dignified and second-grade official, although the house is quite atmospheric, but the atmosphere inside is really dull and a little weird.

"Isn't it almost noon, why is there no one here? Even if you rush to wait for dinner, you won't even have a shift person, right? ”

Su Jiao got out of the carriage with the help of Mu Hibiscus, if it weren't for the clear writing on the plaque above the main entrance of the house, he would almost have thought that he was in the wrong place.

In the mansion of the dignified scholar's family, the two vermilion doors nailed with rivets were wide open, and only two guards stood on both sides, looking in from the door, there was not even a single subordinate who took care of the flowers and plants and cleaned the ground.

"This must be Mrs. Xiao, our wife has been waiting inside for a long time, Mrs. is here, please."

Just when Su Jiao was in a daze, a very decently dressed big maid walked out from behind the door, leading a few little maids to greet her.

Su Jiao came back to her senses and nodded, handed the invitation to the big girl, and entered the door under her instructions.

"The slave maid is Qinglan next to the lady, and the lady is talking to the young lady in the yard of the young lady, so she called the slave and the maid to come and ask the lady to go to see the young lady together."

Without walking through a corner corridor, Qinglan would reach out and make a gesture to please to prevent Su Jiao from going to the wrong place, and kept a distance of standing one step behind her very regularly.

Looking at this posture, it is obvious that it was specially trained by big families, even in the days when he was a movie queen in the past, no one around him was respectful to such a degree, so Qinglan's polite treatment was still a little unaccustomed to Su Jiao.

"Naturally, I just heard that Miss was sick a few days ago, I wonder if she is better now?"

"Mrs. Xiao rest assured, although our young lady is weak, she is not that kind of delicate and pretentious, the countess has already sent a lot of medicinal herbs over, and today's young lady's complexion looks much better than before."

Although Qinglan didn't show much righteous indignation on the surface, what she said made Su Jiao obviously feel a little indignant.

However, Su Jiao also understood that Qinglan and the Hubu Shangshu family must be very dissatisfied with Su Lian and Xu Rulie, and they didn't mean to talk like this in front of her, so she didn't take it too seriously.

Then walked through the Jiuqu Water Corridor in the garden, and came to the gate of Zhang Yuge's courtyard.

"Mrs. Xiao, this is my young lady's yard." Qinglan introduced, and at the same time stretched out her hand to personally open the curtain of the door for Su Jiao. "Madam, Miss, Madame Xiao is here."

Landing across the sky, Su Jiao stepped in, and saw Mrs. Shangshu sitting on the stool next to Zhang Yuge's bed in a dignified manner, looking very sad on her face.

And Zhang Yuge was very tired and leaned on the pillow, holding an embroidery shed embroidery for a while.
