Chapter Twenty-Seven: The Banquet of the Hou Mansion
The smoke wafts from the stacks of incense, and the fragrance spreads outward in a circle.
The eldest lady is very particular about incense, and there are rules for what incense to burn at what time of year and at what time, and now this season is stacked incense.
In addition to the eldest lady's Fu'an Courtyard, no one else burns the incense stack, the smell of the incense stack is somewhat unique, and ordinary people only feel a faint aroma, but Su Wanqiu does not like the smell of the incense, but feels very pungent, so she rarely goes to the courtyard of the eldest lady.
At this moment, the eldest lady was holding Bang Yue's hand and said, she would not have been like this originally, but this matter was very important to her, so she would do everything possible to provoke the relationship between Bang Yue and Su Wanqiu.
The door of the inner room was suddenly pushed open, and the girl in purple rushed in: "Mother-"
The voice stopped abruptly, and the girl looked at the situation in surprise.
Mother Zhou hurriedly rushed in and confessed: "Madam, they are all old slaves, and they didn't stop the fourth lady." ”
The girl in purple was Su Xueyi, and she pointed at Bang Yue in some surprise: "Mother, isn't this the girl next to Su Wanqiu?" How did she end up here? When are you going to be like this with the girl next to Su Wanqiu? ”
The eldest lady was a little annoyed in her heart, and glanced at Zhou's mother unkindly, and Zhou's mother hurriedly lowered her head, panicked in her heart.
The fourth lady wants to break in, how can she be stopped?
"Mother Zhou, you go down with Bang Yue first, don't make a noise, Xue Yi, come here, I have something to say to you." The eldest lady quickly made up her mind, and said.
Seeing that everyone else had gone down, Su Xue looked at the eldest lady in confusion: "Mother, what were you doing just now?" Why are you so close to Su Wanqiu's girl? ”
The eldest lady sighed: "Xueyi, mother, isn't this all for your good." ”
"My daughter doesn't understand." Su Xueyi shook her head.
The eldest lady knew that she couldn't hide this matter, so she told it one by one, and roughly told Su Xueyi about the plan to deal with Su Wanqiu.
Su Xueyi was a little happy when she heard this, she naturally hated Su Wanqiu very much, the eldest lady's move was really happy, but the next moment, she didn't know what she thought, and her face was a little bad.
"Mother, why don't you tell me about such an important matter first?" She complained a little, what she couldn't see the most was Su Wanqiu's pride, when she was in Rongsong Courtyard before, Su Wanqiu followed Su Yunwan's words and was in the limelight in front of the old lady, which made her very uneasy, if there is a way to deal with Su Wanqiu, it is naturally more comfortable to participate in person.
Isn't it because I'm afraid that you will know that you will leak in front of Su Wanqiu? The eldest lady sighed slightly in her heart, but Su Xueyi was her daughter in the end, so she had to comfort her softly: "Xueyi, Su Wanqiu is just a piece of tile, but you are a delicate jade, how can she be compared to you, you don't have to pay attention to her at all, just let the mother come, the mother does this to protect you." ”
When Su Xueyi heard this, a satisfied smile appeared on her bright eyes and bright teeth: "Mother rest assured, my daughter will definitely protect herself, and this time Su Wanqiu has no way out." ”
"This is natural, you have the right to do it without knowing it, everything is there, you don't have to worry." The eldest lady said softly, "Su Wanqiu can't run away no matter what." ”
Su Xueyi nodded, and the eldest lady was relieved, although it was a sure thing, she was still a little uneasy in her heart.
In a blink of an eye, it was the old lady's birthday banquet, and the Pingyang Hou Mansion was a first-class powerful family in Linchuan, so naturally many people came to celebrate.
Su Wanqiu carefully freshened up and dressed up, and then went to the flower hall.
She is wearing a light cyan pleated long skirt today, the skirt has beautiful patterns, long and can be dragged to the ground, and the azure waist seal should be tied up at the waist, which is unbearable to hold, which looks beautiful and dusty but not too charming and gorgeous.
In front of the door of the flower hall was Mother Yang in the house, and when she saw Su Wanqiu coming, she smiled and said, "Third Miss, go in, the eldest lady is also here today." ”
The eldest lady in her mouth is the eldest daughter of the Pingyang Marquis Mansion, and now she is married to Su Yunrou.
There are several black lacquered ebony tables in the flower hall, and white porcelain plates are neatly placed on the table, and there are all kinds of delicate fruit snacks in them, just looking at them makes people appetize.
The old lady was already sitting in the right seat, and the wives of the rest of the families were talking and laughing around the old lady, so lively, while the ladies gathered in groups to gossip.
Su Wanqiu raised her eyes and looked around, and finally saw Su Yunrou from the crowd.
Aunt Shen was born charming, and her two daughters were also very charming and moving, at this time, Su Yunrou and Su Yunqian were standing together, and they immediately attracted the attention of countless people.
"It's been a long time, big sister." Su Wanqiu stepped forward and smiled softly.
Su Yunrou was also very happy when she saw Su Wanqiu at first sight, took Su Wanqiu's hand, and said with a smile: "I haven't seen Late Autumn for so long, but I almost can't recognize it, now that Late Autumn is so good-looking, wouldn't it be even more gorgeous after Ji Xuan." ”
Although Su Yunrou and Su Yunqian are sisters of the same mother, their temperament is completely different, compared with Su Yunqian's arrogance and straightforwardness, Su Yunrou is more delicate and gentle, Xu is because she is the eldest sister, Su Yunrou has always taken care of the sisters below.
Su Wanqiu's eyebrows and eyes were crooked, she was very happy, Su Yunrou was much older than Su Wanqiu, so the relationship between the sisters was even deeper, Su Yunrou had always been very considerate to her, so she smiled and said, "Eldest sister, don't make fun of me." ”
Su Yunqian said with some dissatisfaction: "The eldest sister only thinks about her in her heart, and she doesn't praise me." ”
"Okay, good, Qian'er is the best-looking, you can't be angry now." Su Yunrou said with a smile.
Su Wanqiu suddenly glanced out and asked casually, "The eldest brother-in-law should also come this time." ”
Su Yunrou's face was slightly red: "He should be in the men's seat, you girl, what can you see if you look at it like this?" ”
Su Yunqian couldn't help teasing: "I can see that the eldest sister is shy." ”
She was a little embarrassed, while Su Wanqiu and Su Yunqian laughed.
"Three sisters, what kind of joke are you talking about, why don't you tell me about it too?" A voice suddenly came.
Su Wanqiu turned her head to look at the three of her with a smile, and saw Su Xueyi looking at the three of them with a smile, she still had a smile on her face, but her heart was very cold.
"Fourth sister, it's been a long time since I've seen you." Su Yunrou had a smile in her eyes, and stepped forward to take Su Xueyi's hand.
Su Xueyi also smiled: "I miss my eldest sister." ”
Su Yunrou turned her head and looked around, and asked again, "What about Wan'er?" ”
"Eldest sister......" The delicate and timid voice sounded from behind Su Yunrou, she turned her head to look, and saw Su Yunwan's beautiful eyes looking at her.
She was overjoyed, let go of Su Xueyi's hand, stepped forward to hold Su Yunwan, Su Xueyi's eyebrows sank slightly, and she glanced at Su Yunwan coldly.
