In the family temple outside the city, Su Zhaoning's chopsticks have begun to take shape.

The little nun squatted next to her, curiously watching Su Zhaoning carving words at the end of the chopsticks.

"Sister, is this your name?" After the little nun asked, she pointed to another word at the end and said, "I have seen this word in the nunnery, it is a blessing word." ”

Su Zhaoning used the hairpin on his head for engraving, and the hairpin was polished very sharp, and scratching on the wood could quickly produce marks.

Out of the corner of her eye, she looked at the clear word "Fu", and continued to draw the word under her hand.

"This is also a blessing word." Su Zhaoning replied to the little nun.

The little nun often comes to Su Zhaoning's room these days, gets along with her, and knows that Su Zhaoning is a very gentle person. Yes, the little nun questioned without fear: "Sister, didn't you make a mistake?" I've never seen such a blessing before! ”

Su Zhaoning looked up at the little nun, who had a childish face under the gray monk's hat, with undisguised curiosity on her face. Such an expression was very common on her sister Su Yingying's face in the past.

"This is the blessing of the Turkic people." Su Zhaoning thought of her sister Su Yingying, and her heart would be extremely soft. I don't know that Yingying is doing well in the Chang'an Hou Mansion now, she thought that she could stay in the nunnery willingly, but now it seems that she can't deceive herself. While the two were talking, footsteps came from outside the door again. I saw the abbot walk to Su Zhaoning's door.

"Abbot." Su Zhaoning put down the carved chopsticks in his hand and stood up.

"Master Abbot." The little nun also patted the dust on her clothes and said.

The abbot nodded as usual, and then said to Su Zhaoning: "Mama Zhao of the Hou Mansion is waiting outside the nunnery, do you want to meet you?" ”

Su Zhaoning had a guess in his heart, so he nodded immediately and decided to meet Mama Zhao in the future family temple for a long time.

I saw that outside the nunnery, Mama Zhao, the master of the Wang family, was standing next to the carriage.

Seeing Su Zhaoning coming out, Mama Zhao hurriedly greeted her and said, "Second Miss is okay recently?" The eldest lady misses you very much, and now she is in the carriage. ”

Su Zhaoning was surprised when he heard this. She lifted the curtain and boarded the carriage, and saw Su Roujia, the eldest girl of the Hou Mansion, sitting in it.

Su Roujia looked at Su Zhaoning with concern and asked, "The second sister is in the family temple, but there is any shortage and need, just tell me with the eldest sister." ”

Su Zhaoning shook his head and replied, "Zhaoning is here to be punished, and he doesn't dare to mention enjoyment." ”

"It's all over, and it's not that your grandmother wants to punish you, but she just wants to give an explanation to the rumors outside." Su Roujia took Su Zhaoning's hand and said with some distress, "The second sister has lost weight." ”

When Su Zhaoning heard Su Roujia speak like this, he knew that what he expected must have happened.

She withdrew her hand and said as if resentful: "Zhaoning never resents grandmother. Just ......"

She pursed her lips and said no more.

Su Roujia replied very clearly: "What is the truth, in fact, everyone knows it in their hearts. The second sister was wronged. Speaking of which, the third sister actually received her due punishment. ”

Su Zhaoning heard that Su Roujia finally mentioned Su Zhenyi, and knew that the other party's words were not finished.

I only heard Su Roujia sigh before continuing: "The third sister is stubborn, and the more she recuperates here, the worse it gets. Don't say that when the body is healed, even the spirit is no better than ordinary people. A few days ago, she went to the garden alone to grab a swing with her eighth sister, but fortunately there were no outsiders in the house, just the eldest brother and three best friends gathered in the garden. ”

"Isn't that a nuisance to others?" Su Zhaoning frowned and asked. She knew that Su Zhenyi would not be willing to wait for death, because she was also waiting for this opportunity.

Just pretending to be crazy and crashing into outsiders, this kind of means doesn't seem to be very clever. If this annoys Mrs. Hou, a dose of decoction is poured down and Su Zhenyi is not impossible.

But if it's just like this, it shouldn't be able to alarm the eldest girl Su Roujia to come to the family temple in person.

Su Roujia took Su Zhaoning's hand back again, and said quite heartily: "If the third sister and the second sister are so sensible, grandmother doesn't have to worry." ”

The third sister was speechless, which surprised the guests. Fortunately, she treated her second brother sincerely, and as soon as the second brother persuaded her, her spirit improved a lot. In addition, the second brother in front of him had an embroidery picture on the couch outflowing, and the guests treated the third sister without blame, only pity. ”

The previous words also said that they were close friends, and then they became guests, and Su Zhaoning knew that Su Zhenyi was looking for an opportunity this time, and met the guests of the Hou Mansion who could not be erased at will. The identity of the guest is precious, and the embroidery on this couch may also be a little greasy.

Since Su Roujia went to the family temple in person, Su Zhaoning didn't worry that she wouldn't tell herself.

Accompanying Su Roujia, Su Zhaoning asked, "What did the eldest sister say about the embroidery on the couch, why has Zhaoning never heard it?" ”

Su Roujia explained carefully: "It was the third sister who was still thinking about the second brother during her illness, leaning on the couch and insisting on embroidering the bookbag for him. The second brother was very affectionate, so he painted this scene. This painting was originally only a private collection of the second brother, but it was accidentally circulated. So now everyone knows that the third sister cherishes her younger brother and is kind and affectionate. ”

When Su Zhaoning heard this, he sighed faintly: "The third sister has such a good appearance, and when others see it, they have three points of pity." ”

Su Roujia patted Su Zhaoning's hand, but there was no word.

In fact, her original intention was to impress Su Zhaoning and force the other party to use it for herself. Su Zhaoning described Su Zhenyi like this, in the past, Su Roujia must have added fuel to the fire, and also praised Su Zhenyi's appearance a few more words.

It's just that today's Su Roujia had the idea of not wanting to do the most important thing for the first time.

The handwriting next to the embroidery picture on the couch is very familiar to Su Roujia.

It was not mentioned by Su Jinxuan, who painted, but the handwriting of her eldest brother Su Jinyu.

Is this how men are fascinated by their appearance? Su Zhenyi is a woman like Su Zhenyi, virtuous, virtuous, talented, and characterful, which one is worth advocating. It's just a good face!

But it was that face that moved her eldest brother. If you see science......

"Ahh Su Zhaoning couldn't help but call out loud, "Big sister, you scratched me." ”

Su Roujia hurriedly let go of Su Zhaoning's hand, only to see obvious crescent-shaped nail marks on the back of the other party's white hand.

"I accidentally bumped my nails and didn't have time to trim them." Su Roujia said.

Of course, Su Zhaoning will not debunk it. It's just that this time, the eldest girl was stimulated to expose her emotions, and Su Zhenyi's methods were obvious.

"Second sister, grandmother misses you very much. Why don't you go home with me today? Su Roujia adjusted her mood and said to Su Zhaoning.

The opportunity he was looking forward to in his heart came to him like this, but Su Zhaoning didn't immediately reach out and hold it.

Because she knows very well that the olive branch this time is exactly the same as the last time she left the ancestral hall, and the price she needs to pay will not be small.

Su Zhenyi, of course, she has to deal with it. But it is not wise to be controlled for a long time under the hands of the mother and daughter of the long house, as their arrows.

Holding back his thoughts about Su Yingying, Su Zhaoning shook his head and replied: "Zhaoning is wrong, Zhaoning can't add mistakes to mistakes, and then add gossip about the Chang'an Marquis Mansion." ”

Su Roujia was really stunned this time. She knew what kind of life Su Zhaoning was living in the family temple, and she also knew how Su Rouhui treated Su Yingying in front of Su Zhaoning last time.

But under such overlapping oppression, Su Zhaoning still chose to stay in the family temple. Could it be that she really died of the heart of returning to the Marquis of Chang'an?

Su Roujia was extremely disappointed in her heart, her self-esteem did not allow her to open her mouth again. Holding the teapot on the small table in the carriage in her hand, Su Roujia poured a full cup of cold tea. She handed the teacup to Su Zhaoning.

"It's hard to recover from the water, the second sister should understand this truth."

Su Zhaoning unexpectedly didn't receive the cup of tea, and the cold tea flowed down her hand into her sleeve.

It's wet and uncomfortable.

"Zhao Ning understands." Su Zhaoning held back the desire in his heart and still replied.

Su Roujia had no intention of talking to her anymore, so she waved her hand and asked Mama Zhao to send Su Zhaoning back to the nunnery.

Back in the room, Su Zhaoning saw the little nun lying on her desk and falling asleep.

Hearing the sound, the little nun opened her eyes, she rubbed her eyes, and asked, "Is my sister going back to her own house?" ”

"Sister is not going back now." Su Zhaoning sat back at the table, picked up the chopsticks and continued to carve.

The little nun looked at Su Zhaoning thoughtfully and did not speak again.

In the Chang'an Marquis Mansion, Su Zhenyi was drinking medicine.

She picked up the porcelain bowl with peony shading and took a small sip of the medicine.

A maid wearing an emerald green shirt walked in with a carved wood grain box, and when she saw Su Zhenyi drinking medicine, she flattered: "The second young master is the most accurate, knowing that the third young lady is drinking medicine, let the slave and maid bring me sugar and dried plums." ”

Su Zhenyi replied in a somewhat cowardly tone: "Let it go." ”

This maid is the first-class maid of the Wang faction next to Su Jinxuan, and she used to be very low and high. Once I had to come to deliver something to Su Zhenyi, I always couldn't wait to put it down and leave. Today, Su Zhenyi was in such a situation, but the maid came over instead.

She smiled and put down the wooden box in her hand, and then took the medicine bowl in Su Zhenyi's hand with both hands, and persuaded: "Third Miss, don't underestimate this plum, it was given to the eldest young master by Lord Zhou." It's the eldest lady, and there aren't many. ”

Su Zhenyi still looked uninterested, she glanced at the box on the table, but did not move.

The maid hurriedly put the medicine bowl, brought the wooden box and offered it, and said, "In the past, this plum was only available in the eldest lady's room." Three Miss and try one. ”

While speaking, the maid pinched a plum with her own hands and sent it to Su Zhenyi's mouth.

Su Zhenyi opened her mouth and swallowed, and then asked: "This plum is really good, but what kind of cook in the Hou Mansion can't be invited?" ”

"Third Miss, you just returned to the capital, I don't know if it's normal. Lord Zhou's sister is a mother in the palace, and this plum was given by Zhou Niangniang from the palace. That is, our eldest young master can get it from Lord Zhou. The maid explained more enthusiastically.

Su Zhenyi only tasted one and sat back on the edge of the bed.

But is it just a plum given by a mother? She wanted more than that. Thinking of what the purple-clothed man in the garden said that day, Su Zhenyi felt happy in her heart.

If Mrs. Hou's mother and daughter knew that they were going to see distinguished guests under their noses again, I don't know what kind of expressions they would have?
