Chapter 42: Alienation

Su Zhaoning saluted Nan Huaixin and said, "Thank you Lord Hou for your compliment, such a compliment reminds me of my mother." ”

This kind of thanksgiving is both a confession and a confession. Confessing his life experience is more of a confession that he did not spread this praise elsewhere.

Sometimes, the same sentence and the same meaning will have different meanings between different people.

If Su Zhaoning said this to his best friend, the other party would only feel her sadness and nostalgia when he heard it. But at this time, the person she was talking to was a man, and it was a man she didn't know very well.

Nan Huaixin naturally heard the alienation, he put his hands behind his back, and his gaze shifted from Su Zhaoning to the objects in the room.

"Please also ask Second Miss Su to take a closer look, have you made the reunion wishful knot ornaments around this mandarin duck Fulu couch? These items in the dowry of the sister-in-law were originally completed by Xian Yan herself, but she left too early. ”

This time, Nan Huaixin didn't let Su Zhaoning guess anymore, he went straight to the point.

This straightforwardness of the Marquis of Dingyuan made Su Zhaoning very relieved. It's not that she thinks very highly of herself, and she thinks that making friends with Dingyuan Marquis is a kind of disdain. It's because Su Zhaoning has been used to living under the eaves for so many years, and he avoided some unnecessary troubles as soon as possible.

The Marquis of Dingyuan is just like the little general Chen on the city tower before, he is a hot potato with its own fiery red charcoal.

The Seventh Princess and the County Lord An Yi, who is more jealous than the other, Su Zhaoning doesn't want to know this question at all.

Su Zhaoning approached the Fulu Mandarin Duck couch, and looked up carefully at the lines of the braided knot. She has bothered to ponder the thousands of knots on the Marquis of Dingyuan, but this kind of reunion wishful knot is still the first time she has seen it.

Whether it is a reunion pattern or a wishful pattern, these two weaving methods are not uncommon at all. But like double-sided embroidery, it can show the reunion pattern on one side, and the wishful knot on the other hand, but Su Zhaoning can't solve it for a while.

She turned back to Nan Huaixin and asked; "Master Hou, can I take one off and take a closer look?"

Nan Huaixin didn't really want to touch the furnishings in this room, but for the sake of his sister, he had to give in.

He took two steps forward, stretched his hand straight over Su Zhaoning's head, and took a reunion wishful knot and put it down.

"Second Miss Su, please take a look." Nan Huai Xin said.

Su Zhaoning took the reunion wishful knot and carefully flipped it left and right to take a closer look. She had a little speculation in her heart, but she didn't dare to be 100% sure, so she could only take out the red thread from the sachet around her waist and try to knit it first.

It's better to do it than to see it a hundred times, Su Zhaoning interspersed the red rope back and forth several times, only to see that the reunion wishful knot was beginning to take shape.

In order to avoid receiving any more hints of alienation from Miss Su Er, Nan Huaixin deliberately walked to a slightly farther position. But even so, the corner of his eye still noticed the reunion wishful knot in Su Zhaoning's hand.

On top of women's skills, Miss Su Er is quite talented.

Nan Huaixin didn't say any more praise.

In fact, he doesn't often boast about people. In the past, he would often praise his younger siblings, but in recent years, when his younger siblings have grown older, there are fewer times when he is around, so he rarely praises them again.

It's just that I didn't expect that when I opened my mouth to praise people this year, I was euphemistically drawn by the other party.

Nan Huaixin was a little self-deprecating, his peach blossom eyes were raised, and his eyes were far away into the spring outside the room.

The willows in the garden are really swaying very well.

Su Zhaoning finally weaved a reunion wishful knot out one by one, she held the knot, and prepared to show it to Nan Huaixin with some joy.

Turning around, Su Zhaoning happened to see Nan Huaixin's demeanor observing the window.

With an angular jaw, a straight nose bridge, thin red lips, and a pair of upward peach blossom eyes that seem to be embellished with the warm sun, the whole face of the Marquis of Dingyuan is exuding a thin light in the spring light.

No wonder the seventh princess would be tempted by the Marquis of Dingyuan.

It's just that compared to the eyes of the county lord of An Yi, I don't know who these two coquettish guests are male colors?

After Su Zhaoning thought about it, he felt that his idea was a little ridiculous. She restrained her mind and said to Nan Huaixin in a serious manner: "Please also ask Master Hou to review, is it feasible to weave like this?" ”

Nan Huaixin turned around and stretched out his hand to pick up the reunion wishful knot handed by Su Zhaoning. He threaded his fingers over the top of the Reunion Knot, letting the tassels fall.

"Good. Second Miss Su is so ......" Nan Huaixin's voice stopped abruptly.

He thought of Su Zhaoning's words before, and he didn't want to express this appreciation.

If you want to draw a line, then how about being a stranger.

Ben Hou won't praise you!

However, Su Zhaoning had already heard Nan Huaixin's words clearly, and she had some thoughts in her heart when she heard him close halfway like this.

Probably, is the Marquis of Dingyuan unhappy?

I don't want to provoke the jealousy of the seventh princess, and there is no need to provoke the displeasure of the Marquis of Dingyuan. What's more, the Marquis of Dingyuan also helped himself.

Su Zhaoning reflected on his actions and immediately made a decision to take rescue measures.

She seemed casual, but in fact, she deliberately walked to the side of the brother and sister picture, looked at the picture and sighed: "Master Hou is the eldest brother, and he must have spent a lot of thought on teaching his younger brothers and sisters on weekdays. The daughter's family needs to be coaxed more, and the man's family needs to be strict, so it must be quite troublesome to come to Hou Ye on weekdays. ”

Second Miss Su is looking for a staircase for herself? Did she teach her younger siblings to teach a sense of idleness?

Nan Huaixin somehow had a little awkward thoughts, deep down in his heart, he knew that Su Zhaoning had no malicious intentions, but his mood was always gloomy because of these words.

He took three steps and made two steps, walked up to Su Zhaoning, compared his hand on Su Zhaoning's head, and said, "If Second Miss Su doesn't say it, Ben Hou doesn't think it yet." Now that she compares like this, Miss Su Er is about the same as Wan Wan when she was twelve or three years old. ”

Is this saying that you are short?

Su Zhaoning glanced at the long legs of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and then looked up at the peach blossom eyes of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and his expression was quite surprised.

Is she self-defeating and completely annoyed the Marquis of Dingyuan?

However, just now, the Marquis of Dingyuan deeply showed the childlike side of a man.

It's too naΓ―ve to talk about height!

Su Zhaoning chose a very safe topic and started to expand and extend again. She said to Nanhuai: "Master Hou has any unfinished drawings, I may also try according to the drawings." ”

Nan Huaixin had already prepared for this, but now that he heard Su Zhaoning mention it, he didn't excuse himself, and led Su Zhaoning to the study again.

"These, some of them were left by Xian Yan, and some of them were thought by Ben Hou himself, if you can't do it, you don't need to be reluctant." Nan Huaixin personally took a wooden box from the bookshelf and took it down, and he opened the box, and inside was a pile of patterns.

Su Zhaoning carefully looked at the patterns one by one. She took the initiative to propose to make things based on pictures, not because she was boundless in self-confidence, but because she lost her mother's state of mind, she believed that it was an unexpected joy to get one more thing, and to see things and think about people.

After carefully reading the thick pile of drawings, Su Zhaoning picked out a few of them, and discussed with Nan Huaixin: "Master Hou wants to fulfill Ling Mei's filial piety, which is really loving. But after Ling Mei marries into her husband's family in the future, it is not suitable to spend all day in sorrow. These things are full of blessings, and if they can be made, they contain both old feelings and meanings. What does Hou Ye think? ”

Nan Huaixin looked over, and the few things Su Zhaoning chose did have some auspicious meanings in them.

Even he can't go to his dead mother's room every day to remember.

Nan Huaixin agreed: "According to what Miss Su said, please do your best." ”

Su Zhaoning laid out the pictures one by one, and said, "Please also ask Master Hou to give me these objects to complete the ......."

She reported a dozen related items in one go.

After finishing speaking, Su Zhaoning looked at the inkstone and pen holder next to him and asked Nan Huaixin: "How about I write it for Hou Ye?" ”

"No, you're talking about thirteen." Nan Huaixin recounted the thirteen objects word for word.

Su Zhaoning was slightly impressed in his heart. The memory of the Marquis of Dingyuan is really good. These ten or so things were used by the woman, and he should not be very familiar with them. But Fang Cai just listened to it once, and he could remember it all.

"It will take time to prepare these things, so Ben Hou will send the second girl Su back first. When the items are ready, ask Miss Su Er to go around again. Nan Huaixin treated Su Zhaoning very politely in his words.

The distance between the two seems to be far worse than the few times they met in the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.

Su Zhaoning put down the reunion wishful knot that he had woven at the beginning, and walked towards the outside of the Dingyuan Marquis Mansion as he said.

She had just gotten into the carriage, and before she could officially say goodbye to Nan Huaixin, she heard a familiar voice coming.

"Brother Huaixin!"

It turned out to be the Seventh Princess.

Su Zhaoning's ears suddenly echoed the words that the Marquis of Dingyuan often said to himself.

You're really unlucky, Su Zhaoning.

I didn't go out early or late, and I happened to go out when the seventh princess came over.

Sure enough, I only heard the curious voice of the seventh princess coming from outside the carriage: "Brother Huaixin, who are you sending it?" ”

"Hey, where is this carriage?" The Seventh Princess's voice seemed to be getting closer and closer, and she asked, "This emblem is very familiar, but I can't remember where I saw it." Where did it come from? ”

"Brother Huaixin, why haven't you entered the palace for a long time, why didn't you come to me?" The Seventh Princess's mind suddenly shifted to Nan Huaixin. She took a few steps forward and reached out to Pannan Huaixin's arm.

"Your Highness the Princess." Nan Huaixin hurriedly took a few steps back, avoiding the actions of the Seventh Princess.

He frowned slightly, and said to the seventh princess with a displeased expression, "The subordinate has seen a few things recently, and they all think that it is very suitable to be used as a wedding gift for the princess, I don't know which one the princess likes more?" ”

"Brother Huaixin!" There was an undisguised grievance in the voice of the seventh princess, she stomped her foot, and looked at Nan Huaixin with a pair of phoenix eyes with watery eyes.

The beauty brought rain in front of the pear blossoms, but Nan Huaixin was not affected at all. He still continued: "The subordinate thinks that it is very good to open the screen and take it into pairs. It is also good to spend a good pattern of the full moon. After all, the full moon is good, and people are both perfect. Of course, if the princess likes it, the ministers can give it to you as well. ”
