Chapter 44: Late for the Garden Party
Su Liruo was already stuck in place, she got up and looked around, and found that there were people all around, most of them were some female dependents.
"It's a shame now." Su Liruo only felt that she wanted to cry without tears at the moment, she got up and came to the Lu family and saluted in a proper manner.
"Mother, sister, I'm late." Su Liruo barely squeezed out a smile, and she stepped forward to salute the two people in front of her.
Lu Shi waved his sleeves, and then pretended to tidy up Su Qianjin's clothes, "Why did you come here like this?" ”
Lu Shi's eyes glanced at Su Liruo, who was a little embarrassed, and everyone's eyes were focused on them.
"Mother, I'm in a hurry to go out today, and I haven't had time to ......" In order not to lose his father's face, Su Liruo said casually.
"Why don't you see Madame Ma?" Lu Shi walked to Su Liruo's side and grabbed one of her hands, she reminded softly in a gentle tone, but the disdain in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.
Hearing Lu Shi say this, and seeing the disgust in her eyes, Su Liruo looked around, the one who was surrounded by a group of ladies should be Mrs. Ma, right?
The Lu family's mind is really stupid, Mrs. Ma didn't tell her anyone, if she was embarrassed in public, wouldn't she still hit the Su family in the face?
"The little girl has seen Mrs. Ma." Su Liruo owed a debt and bowed.
"The second young lady has grown so big, time flies so fast." Su Liruo saw that this Mrs. Ma was smiling kindly, and she couldn't tell whether she was sincere or hypocritical, she Su Liruo just smiled at her.
"Okay, let's go over there and see the newly cultivated lotus flowers." When they heard this, they dispersed.
After Lu finished speaking, he left with Su Qianjin.
Su Qianjin walked aside and snickered, this garden party was discussed by her and Ma Xiangjun, so she went to beg Mrs. Ma to hold it.
"If you don't give this dead girl a little color today, I really don't know who is the concubine in the future." Su Qianjin's eyes were slightly meaningful, and Xiangjun didn't know where she had gone, she had to look for it.
Su Liruo saw that everyone had dispersed, so she raised her head.
The Ma family's mansion is well repaired, compared to the Duanwang Mansion, it is not half a point, looking at the well-maintained garden, you know that this Mrs. Ma must like to fiddle with some flowers and plants.
"Since it's not very popular, I'd better find a place to stay." Su Li looked at the people around him indifferently.
"Well, I'll be able to go back in a while." Su Liruo sighed lightly, it was true that she was present on this occasion today, but she didn't say that she wanted to participate in the whole process.
Su Liruo saw that the sun was too big, so she casually found a tree to enjoy the shade, but as soon as she walked under the tree, she listened to the two young ladies who didn't know who were discussing something.
"Why is the second lady of Su Mansion dressed so plainly?"
"What kind of purity is that? It's clearly cold. ”
"But Su Mansion is also the Prime Minister's Mansion, so it's not so cold, right?"
"You don't know, do you? The Lu family looks gentle and virtuous, but in fact, behind closed doors, he doesn't know what kind of virtue it is. ”
“……”
Hearing a few people behind her discussing the affairs of the Lu family's mother and daughter and herself, Su Liruo just chuckled and walked away, this kind of talk is not in her ears, she doesn't listen.
There is a large pond in the garden, a bridge is erected on this pond, the red bridge body looks a bit majestic, and the pavilion in the middle of the bridge has also hung a purple veil, and the breeze passes, like a fairyland.
"It's a nice environment." Su Liruo had just given birth to a lazy waist, took two breaths of fresh air, and saw a familiar figure.
Su Qianjin? What does she do in the backyard? Isn't it a garden party? Curiosity was uncontrollable, and Su Liruo followed Su Qianjin to the backyard.
Knowing that the relationship between the Ma family and the Prime Minister's Mansion has always been good, and Ma Xiangjun is Su Qianjin's best friend, Su Li Ruoke feels that it will be good for the two to be tired together.
There was no one around, and Su Liruo also quietly slipped into the backyard.
"How can this thing be put on her?" Su Qianjin was holding an object in her hand, and Su Liruo couldn't see clearly behind her, but she could vaguely hear the conversation between the two.
"Oh, just find someone to stuff it for her, do you still plan to do this kind of thing yourself?" Ma Xiangjun looked proud, which shows that she has done this kind of thing in this Ma Mansion.
The two of them didn't speak loudly, but Su Liruo had a keen hearing and heard it clearly, could these two be discussing how to deal with me?
Su Liruo only thinks that the eldest ladies in this boudoir are really innocent and cute, do you really think that even if she doesn't know anything, she will fall into their trap?
Seeing that the environment of the Ma Mansion was not bad, Su Liruo looked around, there were not many people in the inner courtyard, and most of the people were waiting for the ladies and ladies from various families in the garden party.
There are also a lot of young talents at today's garden party, but at this time, the young talents have been pulled by Ma Xiangjun's brother Ma Xuhui to see calligraphy and painting.
Fang was walking in the garden party, and heard that Ma Xuhui had an ancient painting, which was very rare, Su Liruo was interested in taking a look, and she also appreciated the valuable things.
Quietly touched a house in the inner circle, which of so many houses hides ancient sayings? Su Liruo looked left and right at the sloppy house. I was wondering about this, but I heard the voices of two people talking.
"That ancient painting is really rare to see."
"Take two quick steps, and don't put them away for a while."
Seeing the two teenagers hurriedly walking forward, Su Liruo followed, and after seeing the two of them enter the house, Su Liruo lay on the roof and picked up a few tiles and looked inside.
There is an ancient painting lying on the table, the painting style is majestic, the pen is favorable, and the color is just right, Su Liruo knows at a glance that the value is extraordinary, and it is indeed from the hands of masters.
"This is Mr. Qi's painting, and I asked someone to find it for a long time to get this painting." The man reached out and stroked the edge of the scroll, looking cautious.
As soon as these words fell into Su Liruo's ears, she showed a standard wicked smile again, if she could sell this painting, wouldn't it be ......
Su Liruo looked at the delicate painting, and then looked at the room of people, she thought about it carefully, she still didn't do much about stealing things, it was for Xu Pingyang in the past, and it became a habit to come and go.
Su Liruo on the roof shook her head, then turned over and jumped, and jumped onto the tree she stepped on when she came up just now.
……
In the afternoon, as soon as the heat subsided, the garden party was lively again, and games such as pitching pots and archery were placed in the garden, and the children of various families had a lot of fun.
"When will I go back, I'll be here for a day." Su Liruo found a quiet place and squatted down, she pulled the hem of her skirt and fanned the wind.
There are not many people in this place, and she is not afraid of losing face, the sultry weather makes Su Liruo irritable, and her white lips make her look a little haggard.
"Why is this girl here alone?" Hearing a man speak, Su Liruo quickly stood up and patted the hem of her skirt.
