After the beginning of summer, it is approaching the Dragon Boat Festival.

When Nan Wanwan came to the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an again, Su Zhaoning was leading Su Yingying to make zongzi.

Although he went there on the fifteenth, Su Zhaoning never went to Xu Zhiyuan's door again. But finally there are elders who come and go, and the festival of the Dragon Boat Festival must be sent over.

Hearing that the porter reported the visit of the eldest lady of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, Su Zhaoning hurriedly slapped all the glutinous rice in his hands, wiped his hands clean with a handkerchief, and prepared to go to the main hall to see Nan Wanwan.

She had just finished making all the preparations when she heard a familiar voice sounding not far away: "Sister Su, you will do so much." ”

Suddenly, there was one more person to rob her sister, and Su Yingying's childish heart couldn't help but surge up.

She moved to Su Zhaoning's side, and looked vigilantly at the visitor with a smile on his face and a brocade dress.

Nan Wanwan followed behind the rhubarb clan's personal maid and walked straight to Su Zhaoning's room. She smiled and said, "Hearing that Sister Su is busy, I asked Mrs. Hou to answer and came over by myself." ”

Su Zhaoning moved the glutinous rice and zongzi leaves in the room to a place, put the tea set back in front of the table, and introduced Nan Wanwan: "Wanwan, this is my sister Yingying." ”

Su Zhaoning was also slightly aware of his sister's subtle hostility. She touched Su Yingying's head and introduced Nan Wanwan and said, "Yingying, this is the eldest lady of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion." ”

"You can call me Sister Wan." Nan Wanwan looked at the little girl in front of her. This little girl's eyebrows are very similar to her Sister Su, and she thinks she is the sister-in-law of Sister Su's mother.

Su Yingying had actually heard the maid's identity of Nan Wanwan once, and now that she heard her sister's grand introduction, she knew that she shouldn't be petty in front of distinguished guests. She raised her face and called sweetly to Nanwan Wan: "Sister Wan, I'm Yingying, and I'm six years old this year." ”

"That's good." Nan Wanwan also reached out to touch Su Yingying's head.

Su Yingying subconsciously wanted to retreat, but she immediately thought of Nan Wanwan's identity and forced herself to stand still.

The little girl's expression was always controlled slightly slower, and this fleeting dislike completely fell into Nan Wanwan's eyes.

This little sister doesn't really like herself.

Nan Wanwan sighed in her heart. She saw that Su Yingying had put away the displeasure in her heart, and she looked completely well-behaved and lovely, and she couldn't help but think of the scene when she saw Su Zhaoning in Qingquan Temple that day.

It's this little girl who makes her sister Su worry about her.

But who doesn't have some concerns. Nan Wanwan also lost her mother at a young age, although she has a grandmother and a brother, she can always empathize with Su Zhaoning's difficulties.

Feeling out a small silver pomegranate from the sachet on her waist, Nan Wanwan coaxed Su Yingying and said, "This is Sister Wan's gift to you, take it back to the room and keep it." ”

Su Yingying was actually a little unhappy about this Dingyuan Marquis's behavior of rushing to her as soon as she came. But her ability to observe words and emotions is no worse than that of her sister Su Zhaoning.

Guessing that Nan Wanwan had something to look for Su Zhaoning, Su Yingying made a very happy appearance. She stretched out her hand to take the little silver pomegranate and said to Su Zhaoning: "Sister, this silver pomegranate is so beautiful, I want to show it to the eighth sister!" ”

"Okay, there you go." Su Zhaoning also guessed that Nan Wanwan had something to say to herself, so she replied with a smile.

After Su Yingying left the room, Nan Wanwan looked at Su Zhaoning, hesitated slightly in her heart, and then said, "Sister Su, are you very relieved that Sister Ying?" ”

Su Zhaoning looked at Nan Wanwan and regarded the other party as a rare confidant. She did not hide her confidant's thoughts, and took the initiative to talk to Nan Wanwan about her recent reunion with her eldest uncle.

Hearing Su Zhaoning mention it himself, Nan Wanwan also said frankly: "Sister Su, I was actually in Qingquan Temple that day. I have seen you and your uncle recognize each other. ”

Without waiting for Su Zhaoning to speak again, Nan Wanwan said again: "Sister Su, I think it's better to rely on your uncle and others than on yourself." Instead of bothering to make good friends for Sister Ying everywhere, you might as well buy a property for her and keep some money in your hand. ”

"After all, good karma is not something that can be achieved by one party." Nan Wanwan's words have some deep meaning. Although she and Su Zhaoning hit it off at first sight, it is always inappropriate to slander each other's relatives behind their backs based on personal assumptions.

Yes, Nan Wanwan can only say so implicitly.

It just so happens that Su Zhaoning is an extremely good person who understands what to say. In the years she has been in the Chang'an Hou Mansion, she has been motherless and close to fatherless, and she has to protect a young sister to grow up, relying on her own sensitive observation.

Now that he heard the meaning of Nan Wanwan's words, Su Zhaoning knew that most of his previous calculations were probably going to fail.

Lookers-on see most of the game. In fact, not only Nan Wanwan, but also her six-year-old Su Yingying pointed out that her uncle could not be relied on, and Su Zhaoning suddenly felt that she was a little delusional.

Her silence fell into Nan Wanwan's eyes, and it was guessed as doubt.

Nan Wanwan was sincerely thinking about Su Zhaoning, and there was her brother's "unintentional" nudge, so she poured beans into a bamboo tube and said it clean at one time: "Sister Su, don't think I'm troublesome." I look at the situation in your family, if you say how much money you have in your hand, Sister Su, I don't believe it. ”

"There is a way that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, Sister Su, you still have to stock up some capital yourself, and then buy an industry for Sister Ying." Nan Wanwan really bothered with this matter, and she analyzed them one by one, "This dynasty is enlightened, and children are allowed to have private property. But Sister Su and Sister Ying are daughters after all, and it's not impossible to open a shop to make a living, I'm afraid that some greed will come to bully you. At that time, if there is no man in the family to come out to support, it will be difficult for the shop to prosper for a long time. ”

"I think it's safest to just buy the title deed and the house deed. When the time comes, I will rent out these properties, and I can still ask my brother to keep an eye on them when they are rented, in short, just choose someone who will not be troubled. Nan Wanwan made the back road clear, and talked about her thoughts on the front road, "As for the initial money, Sister Su's female skills are second to none, and she can go to the tasting meeting of Badoulou." ”

Nan Wanwan said too much at once, and Su Zhaoning couldn't interrupt. But after listening to it completely, she had to admit that this path was indeed very desirable.

In fact, the purchase of private property has been considered by Su Zhaoning for a long time. Because the etiquette law of this dynasty is slightly relaxed, the private property of children does not have to be included in the public middle school, and there is more than one girl with private property in the Marquis of Chang'an.

Even if you don't say that Su Roujia in the long house has the property arranged by her grandfather and her mother, Mrs. Hou, she is the eighth sister in the third room, and the youngest girl in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, she also has her own private property.

Of course, these private properties are purchased by parents. But in short, if it is put in the name of the child, there is no reason to take it back.

Buying private property is indeed the best way.

Although Su Yingying is only six years old now, Su Zhaoning knows very well what kind of character her sister is.

If you plan against others, your sister won't. But to keep herself, my sister can do it.

Besides, if you have enough property in your hands, choose a sister-in-law who is not very prominent when the time comes. As long as the character is good, it is not impossible to subsidize the training.

A little farther away......

Su Zhaoning retracted his thoughts.

She looked at Nan Wanwan in front of her and asked seriously: "What's going on with the tasting meeting of the Eight Doulou?" ”

Nan Wanwan heard Su Zhaoning directly ask about this implementation step, and she was also very happy in her heart. This means that Su Zhaoning listened to her suggestion.

Nan Wanwan immediately told Su Zhaoning everything she had heard from her brother: "Badoulou, as the name suggests, is a place where talented people gather in Badou. As for the tasting, it is okay to do everything that is related to learning. On the 18th of every month, Badoulou will carry out a tasting meeting. At the meeting, anyone can offer items to bid on. When the time comes, the highest price will win. ”

"Not limited to piano, chess, calligraphy and painting?" Su Zhaoning keenly captured the information in his favor.

Nan Wanwan had asked her brother the same question at home earlier.

After all, Su Zhaoning's outstanding female skills are actually outstanding female celebrities, which is a well-known thing.

"It is not limited to the four categories of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. As long as it can be linked to talent learning, it's fine. The cross-linking of Badoulou is to reduce talents without sticking to one pattern. Nan Wanwan replied without hesitation.

But after answering, she herself was a little weak-hearted, and made up for what her brother said: "Of course, most of the people participating in the bidding in the Eight Bucket Towers are men. Therefore, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially the second category of calligraphy and painting, are the easiest to pass the first round. ”

"First round?" Su Zhaoning doesn't actually know how to calligraphy and painting, but it's just ......

She humbly asked Nan Wanwan and said: "Who deleted the first round, and who deleted the second round?" ”

Nan Wanwan's content was actually asked from her brother temporarily. Listening to Su Zhaoning's more and more detailed questions, she hurriedly replied: "The first round is the deletion of members of the Eight Dou Society. After all, there is no need to participate in the tasting if it is completely worthless and vulgar. The second round is pricing. ”

"We'll find out on the 18th of this month." Nan Wanwan has already said everything she knows.

You must know that she herself has not participated in the tasting meeting of Badoulou at all. In order not to embarrass herself, she had to interrupt Su Zhaoning's question.

Su Zhaoning didn't notice this.

She just quickly calculated in her heart what there were things she could get her hands on.

During these years in the Marquis of Chang'an, she only got a good opportunity to teach when her biological mother was alive. In the following years, although he went to school with the rest of the sisters, the real finale skills were taught privately. She didn't get a chance to touch it.

In addition to the past skills and daily hard work, Su Zhaoning has only one thing, which others do not have.

She has excellent copying skills.

Therefore, the painting that Bai used to identify Su Zhenyi that day was painted by Su Zhaoning in this way.

She didn't have a chance to see the real embroidery on the couch, so she asked Su Jinxuan to draw the picture for her. When Su Jinxuan drew herself, Su Zhaoning had already completely memorized Su Jinxuan's brushwork.

That's how a new couch embroidery picture came out.
