Su Zhaoning was skeptical about Su Zhenyi's answer, but she was indeed preparing to intimidate the other party today.

After all, in this Chang'an Hou Mansion, she still has many enemies.

The enemy of the enemy cannot become a friend, but he cannot kill them all. Balancing is also a means of defeating the enemy.

Su Zhaoning slightly removed the hairpin from Su Zhenyi's face, and saw the other party's obviously relieved expression.

She said to Su Zhenyi: "I treat my third sister with sisterly affection, but I don't know if my third sister will still be so ruthless to me in the future." ”

Su Zhenyi hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, she stretched out three fingers upward, and promised: "I swear to heaven that I will never calculate you again, second sister." ”

Su Zhaoning completely withdrew the hairpin, and she nodded slightly: "It's best if the third sister can do this." In fact, in this Chang'an Hou Mansion, you and I are not the most incompatible enemies at all. ”

Su Zhenyi nodded vigorously and agreed immensely: "What the second sister said is true." ”

Seeing Su Zhaoning sitting back in front of the long case, Su Zhenyi also breathed a long sigh of relief. She looked at Su Zhaoning in front of the bookcase, and there was something thoughtful in her eyes.

Su Zhaoning knew that the other party was looking at him, but he still didn't care about it, smoothed the rice paper again, and continued to practice calligraphy.

Su Zhenyi walked to Su Zhaoning's side, looked at her words, and said, "The second sister's talent should be far more than the female red who leads others, right?" ”

Su Zhaoning did not stop the pen in his hand and continued to write his words.

Su Zhenyi said again: "Second sister, have you ever thought that in fact, the enemy of the enemy is a friend. ”

Su Zhaoning's pen tip paused slightly, and the ink was immediately rendered. She changed a piece of rice paper and rewrote it.

"Second sister, I am in the same situation as you in the Chang'an Hou Mansion." Su Zhenyi said, "We all seem to have a father and a mother, but in fact, our parents will not help us with anything. The only thing we can rely on is ourselves. ”

"What's even more difficult is that we not only have to rely on ourselves, but also have younger brothers and sisters who can't be abandoned." The more Su Zhenyi spoke, the more she felt that she was very reasonable, she approached Su Zhaoning even more, and said with some excitement in her tone, "Second sister, do you think that your favor today will not be suppressed like me yesterday?" ”

"That day, who hurriedly asked the eldest brother to notice you when the fourth prince noticed me. The second sister should be very clear in her heart. Similarly, today's big brother and even the nobles in the palace have noticed you, second sister, can the others still sleep peacefully? Su Zhenyi turned around and looked at Su Zhaoning's door.

Su Zhaoning's room was some distance from Su Rouhui's. However, that direction made Su Zhenyi remember it very clearly.

She will not forget the humiliation she received at Su Rouhui today!

"Second sister, I think you and I can form an alliance. Only when we help each other, and the people we care about, can we gain a firm foothold in the Chang'an Hou Mansion. Su Zhenyi looked back at Su Zhaoning.

Su Zhaoning had already finished writing a piece of rice paper, and she removed the one under her hand and laid it out again.

Feeling Su Zhenyi's expectant gaze, Su Zhaoning asked lightly, "What does the third sister think?" ”

"The eldest brother used to attach importance to me, but now he attaches importance to the second sister, in fact, there is only one consideration. It is the status of the husband's family that we can marry into one day. But in the Chang'an Hou Mansion, there are big sisters in front of me, and there are four sisters behind you. They will make grandmothers and our mothers more considerate. Su Zhenyi stared at Su Zhaoning's words, wanting to see something from them.

It's a pity that she has been living outside for many years, and she is a big weakness in calligraphy and painting. She doesn't know whether a word like Su Zhaoning is good or mediocre, and how good is it?

The facts that Su Zhaoning said to Su Zhenyi have actually been chewed over and over many times. It's just that she has been suppressed in the Chang'an Hou Mansion for a long time, and it is indeed a little difficult to turn over once she wants.

"Don't hide it from the second sister, it's not that Zhenyi doesn't want to move the eldest sister, but because the Chang'an Hou Mansion is still a long house in the end, so the eldest sister, I don't dare to move. But for the fourth sister, like you, I don't like her very much. Su Zhenyi thought about Su Rouhui's previous arrogance, and she wanted to hate it in her heart.

Three boxes of cloud snow cream, she used it so sparingly and carefully. It was all taken away by Su Rouhui!

"How do you want to move the fourth sister?" Su Zhaoning finally spoke.

Su Zhenyi suddenly felt happy in her heart, and she hurriedly offered advice: "The fourth sister is the same age as me, and she is already in the same age. I think her wedding has been put on the table. At this juncture, if the fourth sister is rumored to have made a private agreement with someone for life, then she will only be a complete abandoned son at least in the eyes of her eldest brother and grandmother. ”

Su Zhaoning frowned slightly and asked, "Doesn't the third sister think that this will affect the reputation of all of us?" ”

"If you don't break it, you can't stand it, doesn't the second sister still understand this truth? I see you are using me very well this time. Su Zhenyi couldn't help but mock.

As soon as she finished speaking, she regretted it a little. Thinking of Su Zhaoning's ruthlessness before, she couldn't help but add a little redeemingly: "A woman's kindness will only harm others and herself." Second sister, you still don't have to be so soft-hearted. ”

"Besides, it is a shame to make a private agreement with an inferior person for life. What if it's with young talents? Su Zhenyi said.

Su Zhaoning heard the meaning and asked, "Who are you choosing?" ”

"If you want to act conveniently, there is no better than Zhou Xuanlin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who often comes to the courtyard of the eldest brother." When Su Zhenyi talked about Zhou Xuanlin, she couldn't help but feel a trace of pride in her heart, and the corners of her mouth raised slightly, "When the time comes, I will invite Zhou Shilang to come to the Hou Mansion without a trace, and the second sister only needs to lead the fourth sister to certain places a few more times." ”

"Then, I will find a way to obtain a personal belongings of Zhou Shilang, and the second sister, you go and bring the fourth sister's. When the time comes, you can only let out the wind and sit on the matter. Su Zhenyi said confidently.

Su Zhaoning felt that this strategy was not very clever, and she said: "First, how can the third sister be sure that Zhou Shilang will not confess to you? Second, the third sister thinks that if the fourth sister marries into the Zhou family, it will be considered a lot lower marriage? ”

"First, Zhou Shilang's thoughts on me, could it be that the second sister doesn't understand?" Su Zhenyi gently touched her earlobe, and looked back at her glasses with pride.

It's just that when her gaze fell on the injury on her forehead, she looked away with some displeasure.

Su Zhenyi continued: "Second, the reason is still the first one. Since Zhou Shilang likes me, how can he really marry the fourth sister. Or, he will find a way to mess up this marriage, and when the time comes, the fourth sister will fall into an even worse reputation. Or, aren't it all women who suffer more from the achievements of resentful couples? ”

Su Zhaoning was a little disdainful of Su Zhenyi's calculations. Her calculations were nothing more than taking advantage of her beauty and Zhou Xuanlin's affection for her. But Su Zhaoning had to admit that with this beauty, Su Zhenyi did many things with less effort than others.

"Second sister, this method, although it can't be exchanged for a good life in the second room overnight. But you also know how much your mother cares about the fourth sister, if the fourth sister is deep in the mud, she naturally won't have much time to toss you and the seventh sister. Su Zhenyi was very worried that Su Zhaoning would not agree with her suggestion, and she tried her best to persuade her.

Su Zhaoning had finished writing her handwriting at this time, she put down the pen in her hand, and when she wanted to collect the inkstone, she remembered that the inkstone had been divided into two by Su Zhenyi.

Su Zhaoning stood up and went to pick up the broken inkstone on the ground.

Su Zhenyi hurriedly walked over to help her, and promised: "Second sister, I will definitely compensate you for a good inkstone." ”

Su Zhaoning raised his head, looked at Su Zhenyi with a smile, and asked, "Whose compensation will I take?" ”

"In my own room, of course." Su Zhenyi replied. She was reluctant to go to her brother to get it.

Su Zhaoning said: "I don't dare to ask for the reward of the four princes. ”

Su Zhenyi lowered her head a little shyly and said, "Your Highness didn't give me this. ”

"Your Highness gave you jewelry, right? Beauty should be matched with beauty accessories. Su Zhaoning put the broken inkstone back on his desk.

Su Zhenyi also put the fragment in her hand together, and she replied to Su Zhaoning's words: "It's just a jade pendant." ”

Su Zhaoning looked at Su Zhenyi's waist, and saw that next to the pink sachet was a cloud-shaped jade pendant.

"The third sister likes clouds?" Su Zhaoning asked.

Su Zhenyi followed Su Zhaoning's gaze to her waist and replied, "No, there is a cloud character in His Highness's name." ”

Su Zhenyi didn't want to talk too much about the Four Princes to Su Zhaoning, but Su Zhaoning didn't ask any more.

In the next half month, Zhou Xuanlin was a frequent visitor to the Marquis of Chang'an's Mansion, and under Su Zhenyi's deliberate inducement, he really came more diligently.

And if Su Zhenyi would lead Zhou Xuanlin to the water pavilion that day, she would hang a flower basket made of palm leaves at the door of her room.

When Su Zhaoning went to greet Mrs. Hou, he glanced at it slightly, and he could see the hint of the flower basket.

Today, the flower basket is firmly hung on the cloister outside the door.

Su Zhaoning retracted his gaze and walked towards Old Madam Hou's room.

As soon as he stepped outside, he heard Su Rouhui's laughter coming from inside.

"Grandmother, are you saying this story is ridiculous?"

After Su Zhenyi embarrassed Mrs. Hou in the palace, the fourth girl, Su Rouhui, temporarily became a celebrity in front of Mrs. Hou.

I saw that Old Madam Hou was talking about making fun of Su Rouhui, but her hand gently patted the back of the other party's hand.

Mrs. Hou said: "I just saw such a person, and the person who heard the interesting story didn't laugh, and she laughed like a flower first." ”

The fifth girl said on the side: "Fourth sister, this is Caiyi Yuqin, the ancestor hurriedly asked her to dance in the center." ”

"Okay, you're a fifth sister, you dare to make fun of your sister." Su Rouhui pounced and tickled the five girls.

The five girls hid to the side and happened to bump into Su Zhaoning, who came in to ask for peace.

"The second sister is here." The fifth girl smiled.

Su Rouhui glanced at Su Zhaoning, sat back next to Mrs. Hou, and said, "Second sister is really late today. ”
