Chapter 20 The iron rod cannot be sharpened in a day
Su Rouhui was so angry that she was almost smoking!
She is in the Hou Mansion of Chang'an, because her mother is the cousin of Mrs. Hou, and she has always had a smooth life. Even the eldest girl, Su Roujia, often wants to give her a few points.
But now, it's just an outsider, and there's a dead mother, so everyone steals the limelight from her!
Su Rouhui's eyes turned red on the spot. She took a deep breath, and because she still cared about her face, she found an excuse and immediately returned to the courtyard of the second room.
When she arrived in the room of Xiao Huang, the lady of the second room, Su Rouhui pulled the tassel cover on the table and smashed the porcelain on the table.
"My heart, what's wrong with you?" The heirs of the Xiao Huang family are thin, and after being in the Hou Mansion for so many years, they gave birth to Su Rouhui, which really hurt their hearts.
When she saw Su Rouhui having such an attack, she immediately ordered her subordinates to boil the tea on the fire, and asked softly about her daughter's reason.
After listening to Su Rouhui's crying, Xiao Huang frowned, but replied: "The girl who died is all good kneading, and it is from outside...... Now that she is in good health, she wants to be protected by the old lady again. ”
Su Rouhui was angry when she mentioned Su Zhenyi, she gritted her teeth and complained: "Since the entry of this outer room, I have been restrained everywhere. first robbed me of my original ranking, and then made me fall behind in the sacrificial stove prince. Mother, she also took Su Zhaoning's bottle of cloud snow cream yesterday! I was going to bring it! ”
Xiao Huang took his daughter's hand and smoothed the green tendons on the back of her hand one by one.
Xiao Huang persuaded: "The three girls are ......"
Seeing that his daughter was about to lose his temper again, Xiao Huang hurriedly changed his name and continued: "We are staring at those who come outside, but Changfang is staring even more fiercely." Don't be too anxious, there will always be people who can't see her smugness. ”
Su Rouhui snorted, her expression still very dissatisfied.
Xiao Huang called the maid and said, "When the second girl comes back, let her come straight to my room." ”
The maid listened to the order, and Su Rouhui's face eased slightly.
Xiao Huang saw that his daughter's mood had improved, and he was also relieved. She smiled and said, "Look what you're doing with them." You're fifteen now, and you'll not only rely on your mother's family in the future. ”
"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about." When Su Rouhui heard this, her face burned, and she asked with a hint of sorrow in her shame, "Su Zhaoning's dead girl caused such a big disaster before, didn't my mother say that it might affect my marriage?" ”
Xiao Huang replied: "I have this concern. But now look at your eldest sister's marriage is fine, and your eldest brother has won the favor of the four princes, and your marriage will be better chosen in the future. ”
While the two mothers and daughters were talking, the footsteps of the maid outside the door were getting closer.
Xiao Huang got up and personally brought Qinghuo tea from the maid's hand.
Before the tea was delivered to her daughter's mouth, the maid's report made Su Rouhui drop another tea bowl.
"Say it again!" Su Rouhui glared angrily.
The maid timidly whispered: "The old lady said that the second girl wants to accompany the third girl to embroider, so she has been resting in her courtyard recently. ”
"Mother!" Su Rouhui's voice was full of tears.
Xiao Huang patted his daughter, but he looked at the longer term. She said, "Relax your heart. The ancestor said that he was accompanied, don't you understand? ”
Accompaniment, which means that on this errand of the four princes, all the credit will be taken on Su Zhenyi alone.
In the courtyard of Mrs. Hou, Su Zhaoning and Su Zhenyi were sitting side by side, and they were holding an embroidery frame and embroidering.
Mama Xu came in with steaming tea and said to the two, "The two girls should rest for a while." This chrysanthemum tea is the most eye-catching. ”
Su Zhaoning got up and took Mama Xu's tea with both hands and thanked her.
Su Zhenyi sat and let Mama Xu bring the tea to her hand, and then asked, "Mama Xu, has grandmother tasted the osmanthus cake I made?" ”
Mama Xu replied with a smile: "I tasted it, the ancestor said that the girl's craftsmanship is completely capable of being a teacher!" ”
Su Zhenyi hid her face and smiled, she said meaningfully: "It's all taught by grandmother." ”
"That's also the third girl, you have a good understanding." Mama Xu said beside her.
Su Zhaoning listened to the two of them back and forth, but he didn't say anything. Whether the left and right comprehension is good or not, whether she teaches well or not, her every move is under the nose of Mrs. Hou.
It's just that there are some things that can't really be integrated after a while.
Mama Xu also stood next to her and looked at the embroidered words on the two embroidery frames. The hands of the two girls were very skillful, and the needle was lifted and needled, so that the old man, who had held embroidery needles for decades, had nothing to be picky. Merely......
It's just that no matter how you look at it, I feel that the embroidery of the second girl is indescribably better.
On the soft couch in the inner room, Mrs. Hou was lying on her side for the maid to beat her legs, while listening to Mama Xu's report on the situation outside.
Regarding the difference in embroidery that Mama Xu said, Mrs. Hou didn't care. She commented: "You are preconceived. Hearing them say that Jin Yu first looked at the craftsmanship of the second girl, she thought that the third girl must be inferior. But I don't think so. A person as crystal clear as the three girls, and with many years of embroidery skills, how can she really be much inferior? ”
Mrs. Hou said so, and Mama Xu could only nod yes.
Three days passed in a flash, and Su Zhaoning took the embroidered handkerchief off the embroidered frame and put it in the brocade box brought by Mama Xu.
Su Zhenyi was a little slower, and she waited until the person sent by Su Jinyu urged her to take off the handkerchief from the embroidered frame.
Facing the little guy who came to pick up the brocade box, Su Zhenyi smiled shyly and explained: "I learned later than my second sister, so I have to think more about it. ”
The little girl was originally going to say something, but when she looked up, she was dazzled by the smile of the third girl. There was only one thought in his mind.
The three girls in our house are so beautiful!
Even bigger girls have to attract attention......
The little guy didn't dare to say this thought, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and only looked at the brocade box.
The two brocade boxes handed over by Mama Xu are exactly the same, both are satin bottoms with brown reunion patterns, and the locks are a copper pattern of Pisces absorbing water.
The little guy stacked the two brocade boxes together and held them up, and then went to the courtyard of the eldest young master.
In the courtyard of Mrs. Hou, Su Zhaoning and Su Zhenyi were still sitting on both sides of the soft couch, waiting for the results of the review by the four princes.
Su Zhaoning picked up the embroidery frame and embroidery thread one by one and put them into the embroidery basket.
Su Zhenyi just sat on the sidelines and watched Su Zhaoning's movements.
Her voice was soft, but not friendly. Su Zhenyi said to Su Zhaoning: "Second sister is so determined, she won't embroider with my sister and me in the future?" ”
"The third sister thinks too much." Su Zhaoning put away the embroidery basket and put it aside. She straightened her cuffs and sat back down.
Su Zhenyi snorted coldly and mocked: "Second sister doesn't think much, and a pair of chopsticks can't do so much use." ”
Su Zhaoning replied to the other party with his eyebrows raised: "That's all due to the blessing of the third sister." ”
"You!" Su Zhenyi was choked by this sentence. Thinking of the scene when she threw chopsticks to Su Zhaoning, she only felt a pain in her heart.
That day was just a moment of pleasure, but because of this moment, she paid a more heartfelt price afterwards.
Now it has to be used by Su Zhaoning to run on it......
Su Zhenyi bit her lower lip and turned her head, no longer talking to Su Zhaoning.
Su Zhaoning was also indifferent, took out a red rope from his sleeve, and braided it himself.
There was a sound of footsteps at the door, and Su Zhenyi hurriedly raised her head.
Su Zhaoning was still playing the network in his hand. It's not that she doesn't care about the results of the fourth prince's side, but that she is too familiar with the footsteps, and it is obviously Su Rouhui's.
Su Rouhui looked at the two people in the room with sour eyes. She was so jealous in her heart that she couldn't do anything, but she couldn't control her feet, and she still had to come over and listen to the results.
"Is the third sister here to say hello to my grandmother? Grandmother taking a nap. Su Zhenyi pretended to be blind and couldn't see Su Rouhui's thoughts.
Su Rouhui naturally heard the meaning of the other party's displeasure, but now that Mrs. Hou was not here, she simply said bluntly: "I'm not like the second sister and the third sister who have important things to do, and it's rare to find time." I greeted my grandmother early this morning. Now I'm here just to hear the results from my eldest brother. ”
"What, doesn't the third sister welcome me?" Su Rouhui asked knowingly.
She didn't wait for Zhenyi to answer, and added: "It's a pity that this courtyard is not yours alone, third sister." This handkerchief is not only embroidered by the third sister, you alone. I'm here to care about my second sister. ”
Unless Su Zhaoning is crazy, Su Rouhui believes that the other party will slap her in the face.
Sure enough, Su Zhaoning did not speak out to refute Su Rouhui.
Su Rouhui looked at Su Zhenyi very proudly.
What Su Zhenyi saw in front was Su Rouhui with a dead face, and what she saw to the left was Su Zhaoning who blocked her heart. She simply turned away and ignored the two of them.
Su Rouhui sat down on the chair by herself.
Su Zhaoning was bowing his head and beating his own line from beginning to end.
Finally, Su Jinyu's figure appeared in the courtyard.
Su Rouhui immediately stood up and called to Su Jinyu, "Big brother." ”
Su Jinyu nodded and walked into the room.
He held two brocade boxes in his hands, which were the two that Mama Xu had given to the little girl before.
Putting the brocade box on the table and opening it, Su Jinyu opened one of the brocade boxes, took out the handkerchief in it, and asked, "Which sister embroidered this?" ”
Su Zhenyi also stood up and walked over to take a look.
As soon as she walked to the side, her face changed.
She didn't embroider this piece.
Su Rouhui saw the change in Su Zhenyi's face, and there was some schadenfreude in her tone. She said that there were no elders in the room, so she mocked: "It is not a matter of a day to sharpen an iron rod into a needle." Now it seems that three days will not be able to grind. Third sister, do you say yes or no? ”
Su Rouhui bit her lip, barely squeezed out a smile and asked Su Jinyu: "Isn't this embroidery in a hurry, why does His Royal Highness mean that only one person is chosen to embroider?" ”
Su Jinyu heard the worry in Su Rouhui's words, he raised his head and was about to answer, but he heard Mama Xu's voice coming from behind him.
"The eldest young master, do you think this piece of handkerchief is better embroidered? The ancestors also felt the same way. At first, when she watched the two girls embroider handkerchiefs, she said that although the second girl knew Que Beiwen, her embroidery skills were poor. The three girls' embroidered ones really look better. ”
Su Zhaoning, who was beating the rope, finally raised his head. Her eyes were clear, and her face looked at Su Jinyu who was holding a handkerchief.
