Chapter 232: A Plan in a Plan
"I don't know how to help you. You are also an old man, and you have eaten all the salt you have eaten in vain over the years? Steward Li glanced at Mrs. Chen, who came over, with a condescending look, and then turned to leave.
Who remembers the events of twenty-five years?
It's just that Steward Li doesn't remember, but Mrs. Chen does.
The rumors among the people became more and more intense, that is, before Su Zhaoning entered the house, an old woman who died of illness in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was also pulled to Su Zhaoning.
"Then Mrs. Zhao was in good health in the past, where would a cold really kill her?" The next generation of people got together and talked in low voices.
In fact, in addition to Steward Li's intentional guidance, Su Zhaoning's own identity is also somewhat related.
There are now four masters in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, and three of them are all people who were originally in the Marquis Mansion. No matter what, they are all from the Hou Mansion.
But this married lady is still half an outsider after all. Therefore, the people were quite bold in discussing Su Zhaoning's affairs.
"I remember, Mrs. Zhao is in charge of the warehouse, right? It seems that the dowry gifts sent to Mrs. Zhao at that time were all counted by Mrs. Zhao. Someone recalled.
Immediately, someone chimed in: "I remember that, too." Moreover, I also heard that when Mrs. Zhao was the dowry of the Qing Dynasty, she accidentally smashed a statue of Guanyin. ”
"Guanyin statue, no wonder Mrs. doesn't let her. Guanyin is all sending Guanyin, which is unlucky. An elderly mother-in-law said.
"If you are unlucky, you can take a life?" The subordinates were afraid and resentful of Su Zhaoning.
The entire circle of subordinates in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion was ruthless to Su Zhaoning, and the matter of getting rid of subordinates at will was spread to the gods. Even the two of Baizhu and Poria were also sent a lot of frightened eyes for no reason.
In such an atmosphere, the day set by Mrs. Wu to meet with the Chen family has arrived.
Su Zhaoning led Nan Wanwan to the Drunken Immortal Tower.
In the private room of the Drunken Immortal Building, the old lady Wu who praised the Chen family was sitting in a precarious position, and he was indeed a talent.
Mrs. Wu wanted Nan Wanwan to meet the Chen family in person, and she also wanted Su Zhaoning to test her face-to-face, so she was well prepared.
Next to the Chen family sat two sisters in his family.
When they meet like this, it is not very unruly.
The eldest girl of the Chen family was very curious about Nan Wanwan, who might become her sister-in-law. A pair of eyes looked at Nan Wanwan's body and looked at it.
The second girl of the Chen family is very young, but she is only ten years old. She was not sensible, so she only pestered Su Zhaoning and kept chattering.
"Sister Mrs. Hou, what is this? This pastry is so funny! ”
"This is a jade dumpling made of mung beans. There is a ...... in it," Su Zhaoning patiently explained to the second girl of the Chen family.
The eldest girl of the Chen family also whispered to Nan Wanwan.
"What does Sister Nan like to do on weekdays?"
Nan Wanwan didn't have much thought about Chen Jialang, but the basic etiquette was there.
She replied to the eldest girl of the Chen family: "I practice some piano, chess, calligraphy and painting on weekdays, but I also go out with my brother to watch plays, or taste some food with my sisters who play well." What about Miss Chen? ”
When the eldest girl of the Chen family heard the word "watching the play", her eyes lit up.
She whispered to Nan Wanwan: "I have never gone out to see a play with my brother." The elder brother said that his daughter's family should stay at home more and practice her talents. ”
Nan Wanwan scoffed at this statement, and she replied disdainfully: "If you don't leave home, where does your talent come from." The qin songs of Dong Reunion in the former dynasty are also mostly composed in the landscape. Nowadays, there are several talented women in Beijing, and they are not out of the door. ”
"Also, it's hard to produce a top grade once a year in Badoulou, if you don't go out, who can see it?" When Nan Wanwan said this, she unexpectedly got the attention of the Chen family.
"Miss Nan has also paid attention to the top grade of Badoulou?" There was some surprise in the eyes of the Chen family, and he asked, "In previous years, it was indeed difficult for the Badoulou to produce a high grade once a year. This year is rare, and there are several times a year to produce high-quality products. ”
"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes." Nan Wanwan glanced at her sister-in-law Su Zhaoning, her face full of pride.
Chen Jialang misunderstood, and he sighed sincerely: "It's really enviable!" Although I was fortunate enough to see the top grade, I didn't encounter the scene when the top grade first entered the Eight Bucket Tower. If I had found one, I would have bought the painting even if I had lost my money! ”
Bankrupt? Nan Wanwan looked at the Chen family in front of her.
Is this another family-friendly temperament? Her grandmother was chosen by thousands of choices and won a copy of Gu Jialang?
Draw? Su Zhaoning looked at this Gu family lang, the more familiar he became.
At this time, in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion, there are also many people who are paying attention to this meeting.
Mrs. Wu leaned on the collapse and talked to her two personal grandmothers: "I don't know what the temperament of this Chen family man is?" The grade is lower. But the most important thing is that people are good and treat Wanwan well. Even if we help some in-laws, it doesn't matter. ”
Mama Cao, one of the grandmothers, said with a smile: "The ancestor has thought about everything, and the young lady will definitely be stable and happy in the future." ”
Mama Zhao deliberately led the words to Su Zhaoning: "But isn't it, the ancestor personally instructed his wife to do this." This is the first big thing, and Madame's intentions for the ancestors are all in this matter. ”
Mama Cao frowned a little when she heard this.
In other words, the matter of marriage is a bit predestined. If this marriage fails, could it be that Mrs. is lacking in her ancestor's heart?
She and Mama Zhao are both Wu Lao Taijun's wedding maids, and they arrived at the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion at the age of fifteen or sixteen, and accompanied Wu Lao Taijun from a little girl to this age.
Although she was a little dissatisfied with Mama Zhao's words, Mama Cao finally did not speak for Su Zhaoning.
And these situations are all in the grasp of Steward Li.
Lifting his feet from the hot water, Steward Li leaned back and leaned comfortably on the soft pillow.
The maid knelt down to dry Steward Li's feet, and then went out to wash her feet and splash it.
After the water was splashed clean, the maid put the basin in her hand, wiped her hands with a towel, and rubbed her feet for Steward Li.
Holding the wrinkled feet, the maid's movements were a little too gentle.
"Steward Li, did you say that the little young master would really go to the Drunken Immortal Building to make trouble?" The maid smiled and looked up at Steward Li.
Steward Li also looked at the maid with a smile and asked, "What do you think?" ”
"I hope the little master goes. In short, I hope to achieve everything you want to achieve. The maid replied with a smear of words.
Steward Li dragged out a long "oh" sentence, and said: "What I want to achieve, you hope to achieve." What if I want my lady to be punished by my ancestors? What if I want Mrs. Hou to sit in a different seat? ”
"Whatever you want, I think it's right." The maid glanced at Steward Li shyly, and then quickly lowered her head.
Steward Li immediately laughed when he saw this lovely picture.
In addition to the two who are worried, there are also people in the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion who are not worried at all.
The little guy told Nan Huaixin about Nan Qichen's trip to the Drunken Immortal Tower.
Nan Huaixin, who was playing with each other with his left and right hands, nodded to indicate that he understood, and his expression was not the slightest surprise or worry.
The guards with him looked at it again and again, and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Master, do you need to belong to the Drunken Immortal Tower?"
As soon as the words came out, the guards actually regretted it. Is he in the habit of managing women's affairs?
A few months ago, it was the time to go to the tree to squat on the tree to guard the second lady of the Chang'an Hou Mansion to enter the incense, and try his best to destroy the meeting between the second lady of the Chang'an Hou Mansion and the Tianji Daoist.
After that, he led the people to squat at the flowering time of the epiphany, and the smell was fragrant, and the fragrance left on the woman's clothes was long.
Also, earlier, I went to find out which eldest girl was good at giving birth to a son.
Don't, Master Hou don't answer. I'm just a mouthful.
The guard silently regretted it.
Fortunately, Nan Huaixin really didn't tell him.
"No need."
"Then do you need to deal with these rumors in the house recently?" The guard couldn't help but say again.
He's definitely getting used to it. Get used to doing things like this. No, he has to get his attitude right. His lofty ideal is to follow Hou Ye back to the battlefield.
Nan Huaixin glanced at the overly enthusiastic guard. When he found that the guards didn't receive his jealous gaze at all, Nan Huaixin secretly corrected his mentality again.
It's too worrying to be jealous of the guards who are told to do things by yourself.
It's just that there are some things that can't be hidden from Madame.
Nan Huaixin thought for a while and instructed the guards: "These are not necessary, you go to the Chang'an Marquis Mansion and ask Su Shilang to see what Madame likes to eat." ”
Thinking of the whispers of their brother and sister on Su Zhaoning's birthday, Nan Huaixin had an epiphany: "The dishes that Madame likes to eat, you personally consult Su Shilang." ”
Learning to cook?
Out of the door of the Dingyuan Marquis's Mansion, the guard slapped himself without tears. It has become a habit to call you talk too much!
At this time, in the Drunken Immortal Building, Nan Qichen was indeed in Su Zhaoning's compartment.
It stands to reason that the effect of the compartment of the Drunken Immortal Building is very good.
It stands to reason that you can't hear the slightest sound in the beautiful room in the Liangchen room.
However, there are two small rooms in the Drunken Immortal Building.
That is, there is another room in a room.
Now Nan Qichen thought of a way and went to the room where Su Zhaoning and the others were staying.
Therefore, the sound outside, Nan Qichen could hear it clearly.
"That painting, when I first saw it, was really amazing. Later, I learned that this painting was painted by a woman in my boudoir, and I was so ashamed that I had no face to see my parents...... Such talents, such women......"
Hearing the voice of the Chen family Lang became more and more excited, Nan Qichen felt that the other party was afraid that the next step would be to confess to his sister.
A talented woman or something, she must be talking about his sister! Nan Qichen, who blindly rejected his brother and blindly worshiped his sister, couldn't bear to rush out.
"Qichen."
"Who are you?"
Nan Qichen was also a little surprised when he faced the eyes of a house of people. He originally thought that there were only three in the house: his sister and Su Zhaoning, as well as the Chen family.
Now that he sees that the Chen sisters are also there, he feels better in his heart.
As a result, what to say is not so flustered.
Nan Qichen was fully prepared and said, "Oh, I went to the wrong place. ”
"Why did you go wrong and get inside?" Chen Jialang looked incredulous.
