Sixty-Seven: Visit
After eating, the county lord of Shuyang came out of the Ningwei Building late, and looked at the distant carriage in a daze without saying a word.
Seeing Su Qianyao these few times, her eyes are indeed good, and she really has to admit this, whether she is eating here or meeting at Su's house, she is all in good order, unlike other girls who can't wait to stick it when they see their stupid son.
But how good at disguise is his character, the county lord of Shuyang does not dare to gamble on his son's life like this.
Su Jinyao's ceremony was a little hurried, because these days were Yuanchun and preparing for the New Year, and she couldn't take care of her for a while.
However, Qin Manhuai still prepared a big gift for her, a gold wire ring made of pure gold, a beaded head, and bracelet earrings, and gave it all. In addition, a few ladies with good relationships were called, and a few tables of banquets were set up, and the Su family and the next family were lively and lively together.
The sisters also gave away things. Su Yunyao gave a colorful glass bead hairpin, which she used to save for a long time to create in Jubaozhai. Su Moyao also gave a hairpin, and the fine coral and glass she bought were made together with the jewelry ordered by Jubaozhai and Su Yunyao, which was very valuable.
It is rare that Su Moyao has the heart to prepare congratulatory gifts for others.
Because the two are twins, it is inevitable to give gifts to each other on their birthdays, once Su Yunyao gave the tenth sister a jade bracelet, but the return gift received was a gnatwood cage!
Su Moyao likes to tease the grasshopper, and in her heart, the top of the grasshopper cage is an important good thing, but she didn't think about whether Su Yunyao likes it or not.
But she is good here, she is not stingy with what she cares about, and she pays if she thinks it is good, although she doesn't care if you like it or not, but her heart is good.
So Su Yunyao had to accept the grub cage with tears and laughter, anyway, she was a sister, and she didn't need to be polite.
The things sent by Su Qianyao are very poetic and picturesque, it is a flower and a full moon painted by her herself, and she sent it to the embroidery workshop with the best craftsmanship in Xunjing to embroider it according to the painting, which means that Su Jinyao will be as full as the full moon in the future life, and as slim as the flowers blooming under the moon.
Su Qingyao sent a few new clothes, because the second lady Fang Li's mother's family is in the fabric business, so good materials must be indispensable, so Su Qingyao and Fang Lin selected a few good materials and made a few for Su Jinyao.
Su Yiyao gave a set of excellent tea sets, and even Su Yao could only afford the tea set but didn't dare to use it, so Su Yiyao bought it and gave it to others as a gift, which inevitably made people wonder where she got the money. And Su Qinyao sent a very valuable bonsai, the bottom pot and trunk are made of jade, the leaves are made of silver, and the position is not large, and the hands of the two girls are almost as big as the bonsai, but the value of the bonsai is not less.
"I didn't expect Cousin Yi Yao and Cousin Qin Yao to be so generous!" After Su Jinyao received the gift, she not only sighed, but also thought that the girl who received the gift had written the wrong details and wrote her name wrong.
Several brothers also expressed their hearts, Su Yingchen used the body that the old lady usually gave himself to buy some gadgets and give them to the ninth sister, and Su Yingkuan has always liked new things, so he asked his friends outside to choose a pair of small goldfish made of jade, put them in the fish tank and sent them in, Su Yingkuan didn't have so many fresh ideas, and it was his half-sister, so he didn't say so much, so he only made a poem and framed it and gave it to Su Jinyao.
Compared with these generous sisters and brothers, the two of Yingxiaju have a headache.
"A little girl who has just reached the end of her life, she is not afraid of falling into the hands of others when she receives so many good things." Yingxia complained about this in the middle, and the first one who was unwilling was Cao Qianlian, "Where else do I have so much money?" Let the dead ghost surnamed Chen loot it! The rest is only enough for daily life, and Da Lang has the heart to make up for my old lady, but she can't give it if she wants to! ”
The two girls weren't there, and the cuckoo almost blocked Cao Qianlian's mouth, "The second lady can let the girl hear it carefully!" ”
Cao Qianlian snorted coldly, "That dead ghost Yu'er and Hui'er know more or less, and they don't have to worry about it." ”
Su Yuyao angrily threw the bowl again, and scolded, "When I was with the ceremony, Jin Yao gave me a set of noodles, but I can't send it back this time?" I have to pay for her things, it's too much! ”
She has been in the house for a long time, and her face has long been outdated, even if she has the heart to send the gold out to rebuild it, she will not be able to come out in ten days and half a month, and the ceremony will be over by then.
Su Huiyao was also not very happy next to her, and without saying a word, she gathered the gold and silver jewelry she had saved over the years, although some of them were outdated, but those were extremely valuable, and there were a lot of them when she flipped through them, and she didn't want to give them away even more if she had some pure gold, and she could make them into other jewelry if she took them out and melted them.
Even if there are so many jewelry around her that she can't put it down, Su Huiyao doesn't want to give it away at all.
A few days after Su Jinyao's ceremony, Kang Jinglan took the time to go to Ningxuan.
It turned out that her mother's family sent another good ginseng, a few with red threads, Kang Jinglan picked two good ones and sent them to Chang Xizhai, and sent one to Yu Hongyuan, and then personally sent one to Qian Ningxuan.
Liu He was lying on the bed and weakly instructed Liu's mother about things, only to see Su Wanyao walk in quickly from outside and say, "Mother, the third lady is here." ”
"Come in, please." Liu He rarely spoke louder, and was helped by Liu's mother to sit up straight.
Kang Jinglan was wearing a rose-red purple cloud cotton skirt and a camellia-faced gray squirrel fur cloak on the outside, and after entering the house, she was waited by the maids Peony and Yueji to take off the cloak.
In winter, I can't open the window for ventilation, cold is one thing, and secondly, Liu He is sick, and his body is still weak, and he can't be blown by a trace of cold wind, so the medicine in the house is very heavy, plus the heat of the charcoal basin, Kang Jinglan couldn't help coughing twice, and tried her best not to cover her nose with a handkerchief.
Su Wanyao is really a poor child, she has been serving her mother all day long, her little face is sallow, and Liu He's poor body seems to have brought her with her, and she looks weak.
Kang Jinglan sighed, sat on the edge of the bed, and first checked Liu He's pulse.
She knows how to look at these little problems a little, after all, her mother's family is a herbal medicine shop, and she has learned some from hearing and seeing since she was a child.
"My sister's body is already slower than before, but it is inconvenient to ventilate in the middle of winter now, but you also have to take the time to go outside, and it is not helpful to recuperate from being bored in the house all the time."
Liu He smiled indispensably, thinking that his body was good or not, and that was it, what else was there to look forward to? If it weren't for her daughter, I'm afraid she would have wanted to die a long time ago.
"Why is my sister here today?"
"My mother's family sent some good ginseng, I sent some to Chang Xizhai, thinking that you need this family the most, so I sent it to you." Kang Jinglan withdrew his hand as she spoke, and covered the back corner of Liu He a little more.
Mother Liu took Su Wanyao out of the door, and only Liu He and Kang Jinglan were left in the house.
"I didn't participate in the Nine Girls' Ceremony, and I have nothing to give in my hands, the pair of bracelets was given by my mother when I brought them into the house, if the Nine Girls look old-fashioned, they will be rewarded with them."
"What's not to like? When the twelve girls do the ceremony, I will prepare a generous gift, and I will not treat Miss Wan badly. Kang Jinglan sighed, and the room became quiet for a while.
The two of them couldn't help but think back to the past, Kang Jinglan was in the mansion, and Liu He also entered the mansion a few years later.
Kang Jinglan's temperament used to belong to the kind that ignited the fire, and she has softened in the mansion over the years, and at first she felt that the girl Liu He always wrapped herself coldly, thinking that she was not easy to contact, and she was quite favored by the lord when she first entered the mansion, and she was also an enemy of Kang Jinglan. But after a long time, Su Yao was slowly hooked back by Cao Qianlian, and he was not interested in Leaning Ningxuan's side, so he didn't go often, plus Liu He's body was too weak, and two major illnesses and minor illnesses came to the door in three days, Su Yao felt sorry for her weak body at first, but Liu He rarely showed a weak side in front of him, and Cao Qianlian was weak and pitiful all the time.
In this way, Liu He is not Kang Jinglan's enemy.
Kang Jinglan is not favored, although she has a son and a daughter, but Su Yao gives her no more love than she gave to Liu He, and slowly she doesn't want to compete for favor as before, and she treats Liu He a lot gentle, and then when she comes out of this matter, she knows Liu He very well, and she also feels sorry for her in her heart.
Love house and Wu, every time she sees Su Wanyao's sallow little face, she inevitably thinks of her daughter, she is afraid that Su Jinyao will become like this in the future, she is sad in her heart, and she really hopes that Su Wanyao can get better.
And when Liu He first entered the mansion, he only felt that the eldest lady was good, the second lady was pitiful, and she was a city house, and although Kang Jinglan had a pungent temperament, she was not a bad person, and she did not have a harmful heart.
"I think when you first entered the mansion, I was still full of defense against you, but now it's good, the lord doesn't go to stay in Yunzhai when he doesn't come to you, but goes to Yingxia Ju at two ends in three days, I also figured it out, I really want to fight with you, even if you don't want to fight with you, you can't get anything back." After speaking, Kang Jinglan smiled self-deprecatingly.
Liu He stretched out his hand from the quilt, and his thin hand without a trace of flesh was held in Kang Jinglan's hand dryly, "Silly sister, don't say that, I look at the nine girls who are smart and cute, two days ago I came to see me with the five girls, polite and tight, I think there will be good relatives in the future, Brother Kuan is full of knowledge, and it is a sure thing to get fame in the future, what are you worried about?" ”
"yes." Kang Jinglan held her hand with her backhand, "We are all this age, where is the age of contention and indisputability?" I hope that the children are good, and this is my wish. ”
