The movement in the eldest young master's study naturally could not reach the ears of Su Zhaoning, who was busy embroidering.

Su Zhaoning and Su Zhenyi were completely isolated in this courtyard. In order to avoid being truthful, Mrs. Hou also ordered that the people who served could only wait in the outer courtyard. In the embroidery room, except for the two girls, there was no third person.

In the past ten years, Su Zhaoning has been punished in the ancestral hall many times, and he stays alone all day without speaking, so he is not used to it.

Su Zhenyi is not like this.

She can only face Su Zhaoning every day. Even if he knew that talking to Su Zhaoning, he wouldn't be able to get any benefit. But she couldn't stand it day after day.

Seeing that Su Zhaoning had demolished the embroidered place again, Su Zhenyi couldn't help but ask: "You only embroidered ten pieces of embroidery in the past five days, and there are still twenty days, but there are eighty-nine pieces of embroidery." If you dismantle it like this, how can you finish the embroidery? ”

"If you're in a hurry, come over and disassemble the embroidery piece for me. Can't embroider, can't you dismantle? Su Zhaoning replied without even raising his eyelids.

Su Zhenyi was pushed to the wall by this sentence, and she was so annoyed in her heart, but she still took the embroidery piece from Su Zhaoning's hand.

While she was tearing it down, she kept thinking in her mouth: "The left and right are all made for me, and the credit is all mine." ”

Su Zhaoning didn't pay attention to Su Zhenyi's words at all. The punch felt like it hit the air and dissipated.

"Ahh Due to the eagerness of the dismantling, Su Zhenyi's fingers accidentally pierced the embroidery needle used to pick up the thread, and blood gushed out from the fingertips at once.

She hurriedly took her fingers into her mouth.

Su Zhaoning glanced up at Su Zhenyi, took the embroidery piece back, and said, "If you can't remove the veil, go and get me a basin of hot water, my eyes are a little dazzled." ”

"I'm not your maid, why should I serve you!" Su Zhenyi's breath was already blocked in her chest, and she couldn't go up or down. She finally couldn't help but stand up and shout.

Su Zhaoning ignored her anger and replied: "I dazzled the embroidery wrong, and this embroidery is even more incomplete." ”

The breath blocked in his chest, Su Zhenyi still couldn't escape. She raised her hand and rubbed the position of her chest, and had to walk out of the room.

At this time, at the gate of the outer courtyard, there were two guests who did not dare to stop them.

The mother-in-law guarding the door saw that the other party was gorgeously dressed and had an outstanding temperament, so she didn't dare to speak rashly, so she only looked at her and asked the little maid to hurry up and inform Mrs. Hou.

"Are the two masters looking for the eldest young master or the second young master in our mansion?" The mother-in-law bent down and circled with the person in front of her.

She also didn't understand why there were distinguished guests who came here without the host's family with her.

I think it's the wrong way, I hope it's the wrong way.

Mama Lian came quickly, she had been by the side of Mrs. Hou for many years, so she naturally immediately recognized that the distinguished guests in front of her were the Four Princes and the Marquis of Dingyuan.

Lian Mama saluted and said, "Slaves and maids see His Royal Highness and Hou Ye." ”

The fourth prince raised his hand and replied, "No need to be polite. His Royal Highness came down here just to see how the third girl Su embroidered. ”

Even Mama heard this, her forehead was a little sweaty, she brushed away her mother-in-law, and pointed to the wing room in the inner courtyard: "Then please Your Highness and the Hou Ye go here to rest first, and the slave will go and ask the third lady to bring embroidery over." ”

"Don't bother, just go down and take a look." The fourth prince waved his hand disappreciatively, and walked into the courtyard with Nan Huaixin.

This Chang'an Marquis Mansion is too rigid, and Miss Su San will not stay alone, and she will not meet with her in private, so why be so cautious.

Mama Lian, who was following behind, was so anxious that she asked her mother-in-law to inform Mrs. Hou while walking forward.

"Third Miss, Second Miss, Fourth Highness has come down." Mama Lian shouted.

Hearing Su Zhaoning's presence, the four princes were slightly stunned, but they quickly found a reason. I think it's just to help Su Zhenyi draw paper patterns.

In the inner courtyard, Su Zhenyi was carrying a basin of water and wanted to go inside, when she heard Mama Lian's voice, she panicked, and the basin was completely splashed on the ground.

"Ahh Su Zhenyi couldn't help but exhale in pain.

The fourth prince took two quick steps, just in time to see Su Zhenyi being burned. He picked her up by the waist, walked to the next room, and carefully placed her on the couch in the room.

"How, how careless. What about the servants who serve? The fourth prince was very satisfied with Su Zhenyi's appearance and talent, and he regarded the other party as his private property.

The left and right are just a nominal girl, and the Marquis of Chang'an will not be reluctant.

But even Mama understands what Mrs. Hou, who has served her for most of her life, thinks. The fourth prince will never regard the third girl as a candidate for the main concubine. But the old lady would not be willing to let the third girl be a concubine.

Lian Mama replied: "I think the people are lazy for a while." Your Highness, the third lady is now injured and can't move, I'll take her embroidery today to your Highness to see. ”

Because the embroidery pieces also need the embroidery girls and weavers in the palace to make clothes and quilts, etc., the Chang'an Marquis Mansion will send the embroidery pieces to the Four Princes' Mansion once a day.

It's just that I didn't expect that the four princes would come over in person today.

After listening to Mama Lian's words, the four princes did not insist on going over to see it as before. Instead, he looked at the injured Su Zhenyi and said, "Don't work too hard." ”

Su Zhenyi's cheeks suddenly turned crimson, with an indescribable beauty of shyness.

"Why don't I go with Mama Lian to get the embroidery piece." Dingyuan Marquis Nan Huaixin, who had been standing behind the four princes without words, said suddenly.

Even Mama's back was soaked with sweat, and she didn't know how to answer so that Dingyuanhou would not feel offended, and she could dispel the idea of going with her.

The room where Su Zhaoning embroidered the long-lasting wishful piece was only two rooms away from the side room where the four princes and others were staying now.

Even the voice of the grandmother outside, Su Zhaoning had already heard it. She took the embroidery piece in her hand and looked in the direction of the door.

At the door, she did not wait for the figure of the fourth prince, but Mrs. Hou was helped by Mama Xu and walked over.

"Grandmother." Su Zhaoning stood up and saluted.

Old Madam Hou looked at Su Zhaoning with a fierce look in her eyes, and said, "The Fourth Highness and the Marquis of Dingyuan want to come here to see the embroidery, and you and Mama Xu will go to the side to avoid it." ”

Su Zhaoning put down the unfinished embroidery in his hand and walked out behind Mama Xu.

As he walked into the wing, Nan Huaixin's voice came from behind him.

"Miss Su Er." Nan Huaixin called Su Zhaoning and said.

Su Zhaoning turned around and saluted towards Nan Huaixin. The fourth prince and the Marquis of Dingyuan came over as she expected, but today's situation is clearly that people are not as good as heaven, and after all, they are one step behind.

Sure enough, without waiting for Su Zhaoning to speak, Mrs. Hou walked out of the embroidery room, and said to the south: "My third granddaughter hurt her legs and feet because she was angry, and there is Lao Hou Ye to review today's embroidery on behalf of the four princes." ”

After Nan Huaixin glanced at Su Zhaoning, he retracted his gaze a little helplessly and turned to look at Old Madam Hou. He said, "Let the old lady bother too." ”

Old Madam Hou glanced back at Nan Huaixin, and led him into the embroidery room.

On the side room, Mama Xu served Su Zhaoning a cup of chrysanthemum wolfberry tea.

"Second Miss, this is the eye-catching medicinal tea specially prepared for you by the ancestors, you can also take advantage of this time to rest for a while." After Mama Xu finished speaking, she walked to the door of the room and closed the peony carved double door completely.

Su Zhaoning looked at the door that could no longer see the outside, and laughed at himself: "Zhaoning bothered grandmother. ”

Mama Xu knows Su Zhaoning's grievances, and she can understand how much the second lady, who has been suppressed by her stepmother for so many years, wants to get ahead, but in her opinion, life is born.

Mama Xu looked at Su Zhaoning with some pity, and opened her mouth to persuade: "Second Miss, the old slave has been with the ancestor since he was eight years old, and nearly fifty years have passed, and the old ancestor once read a sentence in "Zengguang Xianwen", but the old slave still remembers it vividly. ”

"There are times in life when you have to have it, and there are times in life when you don't have to force it. Second Miss, you may be able to read this sentence more. When Mama Xu spoke, she deliberately blocked the direction of the door.

Su Zhaoning retracted her gaze outside, she stretched out her hands and showed her slender fingers to Mama Xu. She said: "Mama Xu, you see, Zhaoning only has such a pair of hands. Today is the sixth day. There are less than twenty days left, and Zhaoning will embroider eighty-nine pieces of embroidery. ”

"Mama Xu, do you know that Zhaoning has only slept for a few hours in the past five days?" Su Zhaoning looked up at Mama Xu who was standing.

Mama Xu's eyes were a little evasive, and she could only comfort: "The old slave knows that the second lady has worked hard. ”

Su Zhaoning chuckled lightly and said, "Five days, sixty hours, Zhaoning added up to sleep for less than three hours. But for fifty-seven hours without sleep, Zhaoning only embroidered ten pieces of embroidery. ”

"Mama Xu, Zhaoning really doesn't know if Zhaoning can complete all the Quebeiwen embroidery pieces on this long-lasting Ruyi piece if he gives up this life. If the embroidery is not finished, Zhaoning may have to die to thank the world. ”

Mama Xu heard the disheartenness in Su Zhaoning's words, and hurriedly approached her, comforting her closely: "Second Miss, don't say such frustrating words, now that the matter of the Fourth Highness is big, if you need anything, the entire Hou Mansion will let you come first." Even if it doesn't work out as expected...... In short, Miss Two, don't worry too much. ”

Mama Xu's last sentence was quite weak, but Su Zhaoning knew that the other party had completely believed in herself. Mama Xu recounted in front of Mrs. Hou, and in the days to come, Mrs. Hou would probably only worry that she would give up in discouragement, and would no longer doubt that Su Zhaoning wanted to fight for merit.

And the question that Su Zhaoning was worried about, Dingyuan Hou Nanhuaixin also thought of it.

Out of the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, Nan Huaixin talked with the four princes, and he was very skeptical about whether the long-lasting wishful piece could be completed on schedule.

The fourth prince looked at his cousin, who had grown up together, and said, "Huaixin, you have done your best to Miss Su. ”

"Today's events, you and I can see clearly, the Marquis of Chang'an Mansion has made up its mind to let Miss Su San take the credit, even if I really break it on the spot, they may not be kind to Miss Su Er."

The Fourth Prince will never be a fool. The Marquis of Chang'an Mansion was so taboo that he went to the embroidery room to look at it, and the answer was self-evident.

It turns out that this Su San girl is just an empty shell of a beauty.

Nan Huaixin also felt that he could only stop like this. The second girl Su who was wet and picked up by herself was probably really unlucky. Although she would beat his mother's complicated relationship, her life was too bad.
