Chapter 17: The Third Young Master has become a fragrant bait
On this day, Su Yunlai was detained by Chen in the room to practice calligraphy, and Jun Yao walked in with a gossipy expression.
"Miss, the green willow next to the fourth wife quarreled with the fifth wife's companion Mama Zheng again, the fifth wife asked her to get a pair of beauty bottles in the warehouse, and the green willow said that the beauty bottle was originally an object placed in the second room, and it was only put away last winter, why let the people in the fifth room take it?" Jun Yao described vividly, "Mama Zheng said that this was originally a thing in the public school, when did it become the property of the fourth room?" Their cousin is going to come to live in the house, and there is a lack of such a pair of beauty bottles. ”
Jun Yao couldn't help laughing as she spoke: "Madam, Miss, the eyes of the fourth and fifth ladies have been red in the past few days," after a pause, she said triumphantly: "See if they dare to calculate our third young master!" ”
Su Yun looked at the embroidery in her hand and sighed faintly, she always felt that she should think of a way to avoid the pain caused by female popularity.
In the past and present life, Su Yunlai was proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but there was no way to be a female celebrity.
"Miss Table? What table miss? Su Yun glanced at Jun Yao and asked.
Jun Yao, as Su Yunlai's personal maid, in order to maintain her status as a big maid at all times, thinks that she can answer any questions from her master fluently.
"The slave maid inquired, she is the second daughter of the fifth wife's brother, and the fifth lady specially took her over to live." Jun Yao replied.
The fifth wife Zhou's maiden family is also a big family in Dian Prefecture, and the current head of the family is Zhou's father, and Zhou also has a brother-in-law who is the next head of the Zhou family.
Su Yunlai's hand trembled slightly, the embroidery needle almost punctured her finger, and her brows slowly frowned.
Seeing this, Chen couldn't help but say strangely: "Ah Wan, what's wrong with you?" ”
This young lady came to the Su family at this time, I am afraid that the person who came is not good, Su Yunlai will not forget that Mrs. Su called them back for Su Zhan's marriage.
Su Yunlai hurriedly restrained his emotions and showed a smile: "I'm fine, mother." After a pause, she sighed slightly: "I just thought, it's not good for the fourth aunt and the fifth aunt to make trouble like this." ”
Chen sighed: "But isn't it, I heard that your grandmother knows that her old man has a headache in the past few days, saying that she is panicking, so as to avoid their greetings, in fact, this is your grandmother warning them." ”
Su Yunlai nodded absentmindedly.
Miss Cousin of the Zhou family arrived in the capital one afternoon, and someone from the fifth wife's mother's house came, and the Chen family also took Su Yun to say hello.
Chen and Su Yun came to Lingyun Courtyard, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they heard laughter and laughter coming from inside.
Mrs. Su said, "I see that Yan'er looks more like you than Fei'er." ”
The fifth lady was pleasantly surprised and said, "Really? I also think Yan'er and I are a little similar! ”
Mrs. Su said: "It looks alike, but it's better than you!" ”
At this time, a gentle voice like a yellow warbler came: "When I was at home, I always heard my mother say that my aunt was a famous beauty when she was young, if I look a little like my aunt, I should be able to call it good-looking, right?" ”
The maid on one side opened the door curtain, Chen and Su Yunlai walked in, and the two of them greeted Mrs. Su, who had always been kind to them: "Get up, get up." After a pause, she said to Su Yunlai: "The new little sister in the family today, Ah Wan, come and meet your sister Zhou." ”
Su Yunlai raised her head and met Zhou Yan's gentle and kind eyes, and she also smiled back.
Zhou Yan is older than Su Yunlai, with outstanding appearance and gentle temperament, especially her skin like snow, which adds a little more beauty to her eyes.
She stood next to Su Yunfei, who was gorgeous and outstanding, and she was not inferior.
The fifth wife took Su Yunlai's hand a little too affectionately and brought the two little girls together: "Ah Wan, this is Yan'er, three years older than you, she also likes to read and write at home on weekdays, you will definitely get along!" ”
Zhou Yan looked at Su Yunlai and showed a gentle smile: "I don't know what Sister Su usually does?" ”
Su Yunlai smiled lightly: "I just followed my father to learn poetry, calligraphy and painting, and I didn't learn it well." ”
Su Yunfei on the side pretended to be displeased at this time and took Su Yunfei's hand: "Look, as soon as my cousin comes, everyone can't see me." ”
Since the incident of falling into the water, Su Yunfei has kept a low profile, as if she felt too embarrassed, so she has been hiding in the yard under the pretext of recuperation, and Mrs. Su also exempted her from asking for peace, this is the first time she has walked out of her yard since she came back from Yang's mansion.
It seems that Su Yunfei's spirit is not bad, and she has already walked out of the shadow of falling water.
Zhou Yan went to appease her repeatedly, but she was a little helpless, and Su Yunfei burst out laughing: "Cousin, I'll tease you!" ”
It seems that Su Yunfei and Zhou Yan have a good relationship, Su Yunlai couldn't help but glance thoughtfully at Zhou Yan who was flushed, Su Yunfei has always been arrogant, even the sisters in the family can't talk about a harmonious relationship, and they are close to this cousin who doesn't often meet.
The fifth lady watched with satisfaction as their sisters talked affectionately, then she turned her head to Chen and smiled, "Look at how happy their sisters are." ”
Chen also smiled and nodded, she had some worries in her heart, her daughter seemed to be too smart and sensible, and she didn't have a little childishness of a girl of this age, if her daughter could associate with a girl of the same age, it would probably be better?
Therefore, it is not easy to be a child, the child is stubborn, the parents are anxious, the child is too sensible and independent, and the parents are still worried.
"It's not that I praise my niece, Yan'er's filial piety, my sister-in-law wrote to say that she was sick last winter, Yan'er took care of her sleeplessly, and she lost a lot of weight! My sister-in-law is weak, so the child sewed a rabbit fur cloak by herself, and in order to catch up with the work, she secretly stayed up late at night to do it, and her eyes were red, which was discovered by my sister-in-law! The fifth lady looked at Zhou Yan with pity.
Chen also looked at Zhou Yan with a moving face, she couldn't help but glance at Su Yunlai, there is really no harm if there is no comparison, other people's daughters can make cloaks for their mothers, but the girls in her family are reluctant to be a female celebrity.
Su Yunlai instantly understood what Chen meant, and couldn't help but have a headache, in fact, except for the female red, she did everything else very well.
Zhou Yan blushed and whispered: "My mother gave birth to me and raised me, I should honor her, do something for my mother, I, I am willing." ”
The fifth lady looked at her lovingly and said to Chen: "This child, that's it, filial piety and courtesy!" ”
Chen was slightly stunned, and always felt that the fifth wife was a little strange, so he listened to the fifth wife continue: "Yan'er is almost in time, my eldest brother and sister-in-law also really feel sorry for her, and there is no suitable family in Dianzhou, so I thought that I could find a family for her in the capital, my sister-in-law said, don't ask for a rich and noble family, just want to be able to treat Yan'er well." ”
Even if the Chen family is dull, they understand at this time, Su Zhan is old, but he has never wanted to see others, and some well-established people in the capital think that Su Zhan is not in good health, and they are worried that his life will be short, and they are unwilling to marry their daughter; And those who are willing, they are all inferior to the Su family, thinking about climbing high branches, Su Zhan still can't look down on them.
This Zhou Yan has a good background, and she doesn't have to pick her appearance and morality, so she looks really a good candidate.
Chen's heart secretly summed up, and then went to see Zhou Yan, with a little bit of pickiness about her daughter-in-law, Zhou Yan was being pulled by Su Yunfei to the side hall to speak, she had a shallow smile on her face, quietly listening to Su Yunfei speak, echoing from time to time, I don't know what she said, the smile on Su Yunfei's face was even brighter.
It seems that he is a person who knows how to advance and retreat, Zhou Yan seemed to notice Chen's inquiring eyes, and couldn't help but look over, with a shy smile on her face.
The fifth lady on the side looked at Chen's gentle eyes and couldn't help but smile.
"Ouch, it looks like I'm late today?" The fourth lady's crisp voice sounded, and she walked in with a smile on her face.
Since beating the fourth wife's son Su Jie to study in the country, the fourth wife has become more and more faceless in front of Mrs. Su, and even the fifth wife has to avoid her edge, which makes the fourth wife, who has always been the fifth wife's leader, a little proud.
The fourth lady followed Mrs. Su to ask for peace, glanced at a few girls in the side hall, covered her mouth and smiled: "It's a coincidence that I came, this is a guest!" ”
Since the last incident in the Yang Mansion, there has been some incompatibility between the fourth wife and the fifth wife, and the whole mansion knows about it, but on the surface, it still maintains a harmonious atmosphere.
The fifth wife said: "It's my niece, I'm here to pick her up and play." ”
Zhou Yan stood up, and pulled Su Yunfei with a reluctant face to greet the fourth wife, the fourth wife nodded, glanced at Zhou Yan meaningfully, and said, "It turned out to be a girl from the Zhou family, it is really extraordinary!" ”
When Mrs. Su saw Mrs. Fourth coming, she was worried that she would be awkward with Mrs. Fifth again, so that outsiders would see the joke, so she said to Su Yunlai: "Ah Wan, you take your Sister Zhou to the mansion for a walk, don't slack off." ”
Su Yunlai was slightly blessed and responded: "Yes." ”
The three little sisters walked out together, and the fourth wife's eyes were always on Zhou Yan's back, watching her lift the curtain and walk out, and then she looked at Chen.
"Second sister-in-law, you said it was a coincidence, I, I just have something to tell you! I've met you right here! ”
Chen was stunned, "Me? ”
The moment Su Yunlai lowered the curtain, he heard the fourth wife's jubilant voice: "I, but I'm here to be a matchmaker with our third young master!" ”
