142. Flocculo

On the morning of the second day, after the sun rose, the family had already asked someone to set up the car, and the prospective girl went to Beijing together. This time, Xiao Liu also took her son back to the house, she took the two little boys to ride in a car, and the two pairs of mother and daughter each took a car. As for Duanning, he naturally rode a horse to take care of it before and after.

When she got into the car, Zhou Yinlan saw that the maid next to Shuning was holding an open-mouthed tall vase, with dozens of peach blossoms inserted in it, and was a little surprised, so Shuning said: "The peach blossoms in the garden are blooming well, so I simply folded a few branches and brought them back, so that the family can also enjoy the spring color of Xishan." Zhou Yinlan smiled: "It's really worthy of being a sister, and even the gifts are full of elegance." ”

In order to take care of Mrs. Zhou's health, the carriage did not go fast at first, but perhaps she slept well last night, or perhaps she was in a relaxed mood because of her daughter's happy event, Mrs. Zhou was in good spirits, and the carriage gradually picked up speed, and just at noon, they had already arrived at the door of Lord Zhou's brother-in-law's house in the outer city.

The two ladies said goodbye through the car window, and Shuning remembered that when she set off in the morning, Zhou Yinlan seemed to like those peach blossoms, and she had never had the opportunity to go to the garden of the other courtyard to have a look, so she called Frangipani to give instructions and chose a few flowers for her to bring over.

Zhou Yinlan was overjoyed and lifted the curtain to greet her with a smile. Shuning looked over and saw Mrs. Zhou fold a peach blossom with a loving face and put it on her daughter's head.

Shuning waved goodbye, and their carriage began to take off, heading towards the inner city.

Back at the Earl's Palace, the clan first led everyone to the Rongqing Hall to meet the Nala clan. Nara was listening to Fannin talk about some of the chores she was dealing with, and pointed out the shortcomings. Both the Lee and the Hitara waited with them. Su Su was also there, but Wan Ning was nowhere to be seen.

After the sisters-in-law and sisters-in-law greeted each other, everyone sat down to talk, only to know that the Shen family would not come back until two days later, while Wan Ning was a little uncomfortable and was recuperating in the room. Nala's attitude towards Xiao Liu's mother and son is quite kind, in fact, she also knows the "concubine" in the third room. Since the clan has always given her face. She also enjoys being a good person.

Said a few words. He took his leave. Su Su looked at Shuning and stopped talking, but when she thought that there was a lot of time, she didn't speak.

Back in Huaiyuan, Zhang Bao was already waiting in the main room, and the family had lunch and did their own things. Shuning returned to the room and saw that the girls had already packed up their things. So he let them go down, intending to take a nap.

Frangipani winked at Holly, and the two stepped forward together, smiling and saying to Shuning that they missed their sisters and asked her for permission. When Shuning heard this, she knew that it was Su Xin's gossip addiction, and couldn't help but smile: "Yes, you can't, but you are not allowed to come back too late." And don't cause trouble. Frangipani and Holly responded in unison. He was about to run out hand in hand, but was stopped by Shuning and said, "Can't you go empty-handed?" Bring that vase of peach blossoms. Just leave a few branches, and if anyone asks, say that I told you to send flowers to the courtyards, so that you will not be scolded by the housekeepers' mothers. ”

Frangipani and Holly listened, squeezed their eyebrows at each other, and said to Shuning in unison, "Thank you, girl." Then he smiled and took the flowers. Shuning was a little helpless, thinking that when Holly first came, she was a quiet and honest girl, and she was "broken" by Frangipani.

She slept for half an hour, and when she got up, she saw that the two big girls didn't come back, so she casually ordered a little girl to fetch water to wash her face, and then combed her hair by herself, only sandwiched a grass flower on her sideburns, changed into a homely robe, carried a basket of snacks, and went to Fangning's room.

Su Su happened to be in Fang Ning's room, and when she saw her, she came up to talk enthusiastically.

Last autumn, my uncle was promoted to Shandong Salt Transport Envoy and took his son to take office. In order to treat the scar on her daughter's face, her aunt Tatara stayed in Kyori. It's just that at the end of the year, she received a letter from her son, knowing that her husband had taken a beautiful concubine in office, she couldn't sit still, so she entrusted her daughter to the Earl's Court, and as soon as the New Year passed, she took her family to Shandong. Now she is taken care of by the Nala family, and she usually lives in Wanning's yard, and every few days she has to ask the imperial doctor to come to her door to see it, trying to get rid of the scar around her nose.

This little cousin is actually a very simple person, just because of a few scars on his face, he has some low self-esteem, so he doesn't like to go out to meet people, but he gets along very well with a few sisters. She was very happy to see that Shuning had brought a snack, and said, "I was just thinking about eating rattan cakes, so you brought them." Shuning said: "I asked someone to move a few vine flowers into the garden, this is the first stubble, and I will pick it at any time in the future, so I don't need to go outside to buy it, which is very convenient." ”

She was also very happy when she saw Fang Ning and Susu eating happily. In fact, compared to cooking and making soup, Shuning prefers to make dim sum. Probably because the ancient stoves were not as clean and convenient as they are in modern times, and she had to endure the smoke and fire every time she cooked, she was very fond of dim sum that only needed to be steamed. And this kind of Chinese dim sum, she can make whatever tricks she likes, no matter how innovative and delicious it is, no one will think that she is wearing it.

Su Su ate two pieces of cake and sighed: "You can make so many delicious things, it's amazing, Sister Fang's food tastes good, Sister Shu's dim sum has a lot of patterns, and even Sister Wan, who has never touched the spring water, has learned to make a few side dishes." I can't even boil water, I'm stupid. ”

Fang Ning smiled slightly: "That is the case, whatever you like, just learn." My third sister and I both learned to do it because we liked it, whether it was us or our two sisters-in-law, we are very willing to teach you, as long as you want to learn. ”

Su Su was worried: "I naturally want to do it, but my mother doesn't allow it, saying that she is afraid that my hand will be injured by a kitchen knife, or it will be burned, and she also said that as long as the maids can do it." Originally, my mother went to Shandong, and I wanted to learn a place, but my aunt didn't let me. ”

Shuning and Fang Ning glanced at each other, but they didn't answer. They naturally knew that this was because Nala was afraid that Su Su would really be hurt and that she would be complained by her sister-in-law, so everything was safe.

Shuning thought for a while and said, "If you're afraid of using a knife or being burned, then learn something else." When I first learned to cook when I was a child, my mother was afraid that I would get hurt, so I was only allowed to make pasta. If my cousin is interested, she can learn how to make dumplings or dumplings, which are also easy to make. ”

Su Su felt that it made sense, and nodded hurriedly: "This is good." My mother loves to eat dumplings, and even if she knows, she won't scold me. ”

The three sisters laughed for a while, and the Nala clan sent a little girl I asked myself to read the full text and asked Fang Ning to go. Fang Ning said goodbye to them embarrassedly and left the house. It's a bit disappointing,

Now Sister Fang has a lot of things to do every day, and I'm really boring alone. "Isn't the second sister here? She's still living in the same hospital as you. Su Su pouted: "Where is she free?" ”

Shuning saw that she was a little unhappy, so she opened the topic: "I see that my cousin doesn't always cover her face with a fan and handkerchief." It makes people feel generous when they look at it. It seems that you are used to it. ”

Su Su said a little angrily: "Where do I dare?" In case your family thinks it's like Miss Lu. Isn't it a joke? ”

It turned out that in the early winter of last year, Su Su was depressed all day long because of the poor treatment of scars on her face, so he took her to Fangshan Courtyard to relax. Shu Ning saw that she was still holding a fan or handkerchief to cover her face in winter, and people were also cowering, thinking of the Miss Lu on the other side, so she discussed it with her family. In the name of appreciating the snow, the mother and daughter of the Lu family were invited to drink tea.

That Miss Lu Ziyu is actually not a weirdo. Her grandfather was an official during his lifetime, although her father and brother were white, but his family was very wealthy, and after the defeat of the Yu family, there was no Han family within a radius of dozens of miles, and there was no Han family that could compare with her family. Lu Ziyu was born beautiful since childhood. I've read a few more books. I often hear the praise of my relatives, and I think I am a peerless beauty with both talent and beauty.

As she gets older, she thinks more and more that there are few daughters in the neighborhood who can match her: Shuning is good. But the appearance is just delicate; Yu Tong can be called her fierce rival, but her appearance and talent are not as good as her, and her family has been defeated; Needless to say, Qiaoyun, who even admits that the other party is a beauty, is married and has children, and her identity is a servant, so she naturally won't take it seriously.

In this way, she became more and more conceited, thinking that since she was a peerless beauty, of course she should have the style of a peerless beauty. I don't know where she learned her style, she must cover her face with a fan when she goes out, she must hold a silk handkerchief in her hand, and she is surrounded by maids, and she is very reserved in her words and deeds.

As soon as Su Su saw Miss Lu, she was stunned, of course, not because the other party was a beauty. Her married sister-in-law Jinjin, as well as the commonly faced Wanning Yuehe's master and servant, are all outstanding beauties, although this Lu Ziyu is good-looking, but it can't make her amazing. To her surprise, it was the other party's way of acting, which was very similar to herself, but with a different starting point. The more time she spent with Miss Lu, the more uneasy she became, and she couldn't help but be suspicious. The Lu family is still a close neighbor of the third uncle's family, and when the third aunt and cousin look at themselves, will they think that she is as ridiculous as Miss Lu?

However, when she turned her eyes to look at Shuning, she may not have found the mockery in the other party's eyes, so she let go of her snack a little. As soon as the mother and daughter of the Lu family left, she cried a lot. He felt sorry for his daughter and couldn't help but blame his mother and daughter, but later found that his daughter no longer covered her face with a fan and a handkerchief, so she realized their hard work and her attitude towards her was much better.

Su Su felt very dazzling because of Lu Ziyu's behavior, and reminded herself every day not to become a joke in the eyes of others, after a few months, she is no longer as shrunken as in the past, although she still often bows her head, but it has been much better. However, she still felt very annoyed: "I always feel weak when I don't have anything to cover the ground, for fear that others will laugh at me when they see the scar on my nose." I listened to you say don't eat soy sauce, and now I don't even eat anything darker, but why is my scar still so conspicuous? ”

Shuning took a closer look at her face and said, "I think this scar is a little lighter than the last time I saw it, but maybe it's because your skin tone is white, so it doesn't seem to have changed much." It should be much better in a little while. ”

Su Su was a little happy to hear this, but she was still worried: "I have been taking medicine for almost a year, and I apply a special ointment every three days, but it is still like this." I originally wanted to apply some powder to cover it, but Sister Wan said that if I applied too much powder, it would not be good for my skin, so I didn't dare to apply it again. ”

Shuning thought for a while and said, "I heard that the white powder in Caifang is ground from flower seeds, and it is not ordinary lead powder, so it should be fine." ”

Su Su paused and said: "Originally, I used his powder, but the last time Yahuan went to buy powder, I was recognized, and my mother was ridiculed by my second aunt, and since then I have changed to buy other ones." I don't know the roots, so I'm always worried. “

Shuning said: "What my aunt bought, it must be a powder produced by a good store, no matter how bad it is, it is limited." If you're really worried, you don't usually use it, just wipe it when you go out, what are you worried about? ”

Su Su was a little embarrassed: "I thought the same way, but after wiping it once, I felt that it was good not to see the scar, and after washing my face every morning, I couldn't help but wipe it a little, but I was told by Sister Wan about me." ”

Shuning was silent, this was Susu's own problem, and she couldn't help.

The two gossiped for a while, and Shuning planned to be Wanning. Su Su hesitated for a moment, and whispered: "She's not good these days, she always likes to lose her temper, you have to be careful." ”

Shuning was a little strange, so she asked what was the matter, she blushed, leaned into her ear and said a few words, and Shuning understood. This is also normal, and it is inevitable during the menstrual period.

Su Su whispered: "Sister Wan is actually to hide from Mama He, and she has to be sick every day like this." That Mama He really hated it, and she wouldn't let go for a day, if it weren't for the good words of the eldest aunt who accompanied the car, she wouldn't let go. Rao is like this, and only Sister Wan is allowed to rest for five days, and once the five days pass, no matter what, she is not allowed to rest again. ”

She flattened her mouth and said, "My mother saw that Sister Wan studied well, and she still wanted me to learn with her, I don't want to suffer that." But the eldest aunt said that we are all on the roster for next year's draft, and it is best to learn the rules together, so that we will not lose face at home. ”

Shuning was taken aback, she didn't want to suffer like Wanning, not to mention that she was very confident in her manners and manners, and she would never lose face, not to mention, if she was eliminated in the draft because her manners were not up to par, wouldn't it be more in line with her own heart? She secretly made a decision in her heart, she must persuade the clan not to send herself to the clutches of Mama He.

After saying goodbye to Susu, she came to Wanning's room, and saw that there was no girl ring outside the door, so she went directly to the door. was about to say hello, but he flew over a tea bowl coldly, followed by Wan Ning's angry scolding: "Where did you die?" I asked you to bring hot water, why didn't you see anyone for a long time?! ”
