Su Jinan hasn't seen Su Mu for a few days, Su Mu has been busy with his feet not touching the ground these days, in addition to handing over official affairs every day, he also has to participate in the invitation of acquaintances after going to the office, which is busier than his eldest brother Su Zheng, who is about to marry his daughter. Su Jin'an and Mei's also received some invitations to the banquet in the inner house, but because Su Mu had just been promoted, he didn't look too public, so Mei's declined on the grounds that he was busy with the New Year. Su Jinan has been a little more free these days, in addition to walking around the Su Mansion every day, he is looking at the account books and medical books, and this kind of day has lasted until the day before Su Zi's marriage - the seventeenth day of the first month.

Tomorrow is the auspicious day for Su Zi to get married, today is the day for the sisters to add makeup to Su Zi, Su Jin'an took Xia Qu to Su Zi's courtyard not too early or late, and there were already two Su Zi's boudoir friends talking to Su Zi in front of her.

Seeing Su Jin'an enter the house, Su Zi got up and pulled her: "Fourth sister is here, come, let me introduce you to you, this is my third uncle's daughter Jin'an, these two are my Pajiao." ”

She pointed to the girl in the azure white epiphany pomegranate skirt and said, "This is Miss Li Er in Li Shizhong's mansion, and her maiden name is Ruan Yu." ”

Then he pointed to the girl wearing a ginger double butterfly thousand water skirt and said, "This is Miss Xing Si from the mansion of Lord Xing of Guanglu Temple, whose name is Xueyan." ”

After Su Jin'an and the two exchanged salutes, Miss Xing Si took the lead and said: "Ah Zi, this is the first time we have met your fourth sister, and I have long heard that your Su family has returned to Beijing and has never had a chance to get to know each other, and I finally met today." ”

Su Jinan smiled: "Miss Xing is serious. Then he took over the makeup brought to Su Zi from Xia Qu's hand: "Big sister, this is a little bit of my heart, I just returned to Beijing not long ago, and I don't know much about my big sister's preferences, please don't dislike it." ”

Su Zi took it with a smile: "How come, the fourth sister is thinking about me, it's too late for me to be happy, no matter what the fourth sister sends, I'm happy." ”

"Ah Zi, open it and let us see the makeup that Miss Su Si gave you, we are very curious." Li Ruanyu looked at the box in Su Zi's hand and said.

"yes, yes, let's take a look." Xing Xueyan also hurriedly said.

"You-what a ......" Su Zi looked at the two of them with a helpless expression, and then looked at Su Jinan for advice: "Fourth sister, look ......"

Su Jinan naturally had no opinion: "Since it was given to the eldest sister, it was naturally decided by the eldest sister herself." ”

In the expectant eyes of the two, Su Zi personally opened the box given to her by Su Jin'an, and everyone's eyes lit up for a while, there was a crystal clear agate bracelet in the brocade box, the red agate was full and luster, and the color was uniform, and it was a rare treasure at a glance.

"Wow - this agate is so pretty!" Xing Xueyan exclaimed.

"Yes, it's really good-looking, the fourth sister bothered." Su Zi was very fond of the makeup given by Su Jin'an.

Su Jinan smiled slightly: "They are all my own sisters, as long as the big sister likes it." ”

Just when a few people were admiring the agate bracelet, a maid led Su Chan and Su Juan two sisters in, and after a few people got up to salute, Su Chan saw the bracelet that Su Zi didn't have time to put away: "Ah! Who is this who adds makeup to the big sister? It's exquisite! ”

Su Zi naturally picked up the brocade box and handed it to the maid beside him, and then said to Su Chan: "It was sent by the fourth sister." ”

Su Chan looked at Su Juan with a smile: "Seeing the fourth sister's makeup, we are all embarrassed to take out our hands." ”

In the end, in the laughter of Li Ruanyu and Xing Xueyan, Su Jinan also saw Su Chan and Su Juan's makeup for Su Zi: Su Chan is a golden hairpin with butterfly love flowers, with novel workmanship, Su Juan is a self-carved agarwood fan, focusing on the heart, Su Zi accepted it one by one.

Su Zi is the daughter of the Su family, her grandfather is the Taishi from the second grade, her father is the deputy envoy of the general political envoy of the fourth grade, her mother Yu is from the Jiangzhou Wang clan, and there is a brother who has entered the office.

Su Jinan has always had a problem of not liking people, except for the people she has not met three or four times who she deliberately remembers, but today she firmly remembers a person - Lin Ruoshui, she has a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, and there are shallow pear vortices on her cheeks when she laughs, she looks like a pleasing girl, and she can almost get along with the nobles here, and she doesn't need extra introduction Su Jinan can know her identity by looking at the peach blossom eyes that are exactly the same as that person- The daughter of Lin Wenguo, the daughter of Zhengsanpin Taichang Temple, she didn't expect her to meet someone related to Lin Wenguo so unexpectedly, although she knew that she had nothing to do with the events of the year, but Su Jinan still couldn't treat her with a normal heart, how could she ask her to treat everyone fairly? So looking at Lin Ruoshui, who is liked by almost everyone, she just doesn't like it, she just wants her to disappear in front of her immediately.

"Sister Azi, this is the girl in your third room, it's the first time I've seen it, I don't know what to call it? My sister didn't introduce me to it either. Lin Ruoshui seemed to notice Su Jin'an's gaze, and she walked over and held Su Zi and said curiously.

Su Zi teased Lin Ruoshui: "You are so familiar, where do you need my introduction?" ”

Although he said that, Su Zi still walked towards Su Jin'an with Lin Ruoshui: "That's my fourth sister Jin'an, who has been in office with my third uncle before, and just came back a year ago, you are the same age, just call your name." ”

Su Zi took Lin Ruoshui to Su Jin'an and sat down: "Fourth sister, let me introduce you, this is the pearl of Lord Lin of Taichang Temple, named Ruoshui, fourth sister?" Fourth sister-" Su Zi introduced Lin Ruoshui to Su Jin'an, but found that Su Jinan had been staring at others, as if he hadn't heard it, so he couldn't help but call twice, and then reached out and stroked Su Jin'an's shoulder.

"Huh? Big sister called me? Su Jinan came back from her thoughts and found that Lin Ruoshui was already standing in front of her, and understood that it should be Su Zi who was introducing her.

Su Zi had no choice but to introduce Su Jin'an again: "What do you want?" Let me introduce you to Miss Lin, who is the only daughter of Lord Lin of Taichang Temple. ”

"Miss Lin, fortunately, I just saw that Miss Lin's eyes looked very similar to an old man I knew before, a little distracted, please forgive me if I don't see it." Su Jinan looked at Lin Ruoshui and smiled.

"I see, I just said why did Miss Su Si keep looking at me, I thought I had become beautiful!" Lin Ruoshui deliberately said as if she was shy, causing several people around her to hide their faces and smile.

Su Zi also said with a smile: "I didn't know that Sister Ruoshui's face was so thick!" There were also a few people who were smiling and wanted to pinch Lin Ruoshui's face, and a few people laughed. Su Jinan smiled as she watched them play, but the smile only stayed at the corner of her mouth, not reaching the bottom of her eyes at all.

In the end, Su Jin'an found an excuse to leave early, Xia Qu followed Su Jin'an on the way back, she keenly felt that the young lady's mood was not good, and after thinking for a while, she was about to ask, when she heard Su Jin'an's deep voice: "Xia Qu, I saw that person's daughter." ”

Xia Qu was shocked in his heart: "Miss......"

Su Jinan walked very slowly, and her speed and pace were the same: "When I returned to Beijing, I knew that I would meet him, today I saw his daughter, I thought I didn't care about her, but after I met, I realized that I didn't want to see her very much, you said that everything was not instructed by her, why do I still hate her?" I was very unhappy to see her smile. ”

"Miss, how many people can face the son of the enemy and have no waves? This is normal, right, otherwise how could there be such a thing as a father paying a debt to a son? ”

"Hehe, it's okay to think about it, I don't know what I'll do when I see that person-" Su Jin'an muttered to herself.

The eighteenth day of the first lunar month, the day of the great joy of Su Zi and King Huo.

In Sufu, red silk and red lanterns are hung everywhere, delicate paper-cuts are pasted on the windows, and people are changed into uniform dark red cotton clothes.

Su Jinan was woken up by the sound outside, the maids in the courtyard were busy coming and going, and their feet did not touch the ground, although they borrowed maids to help in the big room for Su Zi's second and third rooms, but they still felt that it was not enough to be busy, and they couldn't wait to grow three heads and six arms.

The people of Su Mansion are not very prosperous when they are seriously calculated, Master Su only has three sons in total, and there are eleven grandchildren, but the granddaughters of the grandchildren are only Su Zi in the big room and Su Jin'an in the third room, so today Su Jinan is going to help entertain guests. Su Jinan stood in the brightly lit courtyard and looked at the red lanterns hanging under the porch, a little stunned, not knowing what he was thinking.

At this time, Su Zi was already bathing and changing, soaking in the fragrant warm water, and I don't know where her mother got such a sweet flower dew, let the grandmother and the maid help her take care of her, and she couldn't help but think of the man who was about to become her husband - King Rong Chenghan, people said that she married well, King Hui's status is noble, young and promising, handsome and dignified, and his father also said that he is very likely to be the next emperor, and there are many women in Beijing who want to marry him. She had seen him from afar, but he had definitely never seen her, and he agreed to accept her as a side concubine without even seeing him in person, which showed that he definitely didn't care about her.

Princess Hui has been in the palace for two years, although she has no concubine, but in the palace, except for the prince, who can cross the princess? After all, she Su Zi entered the mansion as a side concubine, and she didn't know if this marriage was really a good family as others said, and she didn't know what other brides were like, but she knew that she didn't have much joy in her heart, and she was more worried about the future.

Su Zi smiled lightly and changed into a wedding dress under the service of the maid and Xi Po, put on the bridal makeup, looked at the mother who loved her and couldn't help but feel sour, she was about to leave her home, she had lived here for sixteen years, and now she was leaving, in the future, she could no longer be like a girl in her mother's arms, her future was unknown but there was no way out.

Seeing that the auspicious time is approaching, the team responsible for welcoming relatives in the palace has arrived at the main gate, and the prince does not need to greet his relatives in person when he gets married, not to mention the concubine, who came to greet the concubine today is a cousin of the royal mother's family. The wedding of the side concubine is generally relatively low-key, and it will not be as lively as marrying the main concubine, and under the urging of the Xi Po, Su Zi covered her head with a hijab, covering the deep reluctance and attachment in her eyes. Su Zi said goodbye to his parents and relatives in the main hall with the support of Xi Po, and was carried on the sedan chair by the eldest brother Su Muhua.

Su Jin'an has been circling among the ladies and ladies who came to watch the ceremony in the morning, and did not follow to the palace of the king of Hui, after the team of relatives left, most of the guests went to the palace of the king, Su Jinan completed his task and returned to his yard with Xia Qu and powder, the little maids in the courtyard Su Jinan allowed them to go to the front yard to watch the ceremony, there were Zizhu and a few second-class maids guarding the courtyard, and the courtyard seemed to be deserted, which was diametrically opposed to the excitement outside.

As soon as Su Jin'an stepped into the courtyard gate, a second-class maid Qingzhi came to inform her: "Miss, the eldest prince is here, and Sister Zizhu is waiting by the side." Su Jinan heard this and hurriedly walked indoors.

In the room, Su Muqing was holding a medical book by Su Jin'an and reading it again, and only raised his head when he heard Su Jin'an's footsteps: "I'm back, how do you feel about hospitality today?" Tired? ”

Su Jin'an took off the cloak on his body, picked up a hand stove, walked to Su Muqing and sat down: "I'm tired or not, I'm just a little thirsty, why is the eldest brother here." ”

Su Muqing filled a cup of hot tea for Su Jin: "It's nothing, I don't have to accompany the guests, listen to the noise outside, you are far away from the front yard here, come here and be clean." ”

Su Jinan took a sip of tea to moisten his throat: "Also, the most idle person in the house today is probably the eldest brother." ”

"I wish I could help." Su Muqing sighed a little, because he was not in good health, he had been taken care of by everyone since he was born, and now he is a little used to it.

"Help? Then when I get married, let my eldest brother carry me on the sedan chair. Su Jin'an joked.

Su Muqing was stunned for a moment, then lowered his eyes to cover the dark and uncertain emotions in his eyes, and said in a low voice: "Yes, you are about to get married." ”

Su Jinan didn't hear clearly: "Big brother, what did you say?" ”

"Nothing." Su Muqing looked at Su Jin'an again: "Does An An want to marry?" ”

"That's not true, it's just a joke, I wish I could stay at home for the rest of my life." Su Jin'an's words had the flavor of cheating.

Looking at Su Jin'an, who had receded from immaturity and was growing into a young girl, Su Muqing was a little distracted, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
