The beginning of spring this year came exceptionally late. The first month is almost out, and the beginning of spring is late. On the day of the beginning of spring, heavy snow covered the entire capital.

In the Chang'an Marquis's Mansion, the maids went in and out, busy non-stop.

In previous years, at the beginning of spring, Su Jinyu, the eldest young master of the stars of the Marquis of Chang'an, either had not returned to Beijing, or had already left Beijing. This year, as postponed as Lichun, is the departure date of the eldest young master.

The maids already had several different speculations in private.

The eldest young master is nineteen years old this year, Mrs. Hou is going to marry him, right? Mrs. Zhengfang can't tolerate Xiao thinking, but she doesn't know if Mrs. Hou will also add it to the eldest young master this time?

The etiquette of this dynasty is not the time of the previous dynasty, don't talk about it, let's just say that in our own Chang'an Hou Mansion, Aunt Liu's life in the third room was really comfortable!

Perhaps, when the eldest young master comes back this time, he won't go to the barren land of Lingnan again. After all, he is the eldest young master of the Marquis of Chang'an.

Of course, the knowledge of the subordinates will not grow to the political situation, and the basis of their speculation is only that there is a second young master in the mansion now. In order not to lose the position of the prince, Mrs. Hou will definitely not let the eldest young master go to the field to serve again.

Although these voices were fragmented and hidden, they still reached the ears of the owners of the houses at different times.

The three girls in the long room are the first to get the news.

Su Zhenyi has now stopped those decoctions, and what she drinks every day is actually a tonic soup that regulates her body. It's just that when she was confined to her room before, she developed a madness, and it is impossible to get better immediately after a while.

Leaning back on the corridor outside her room, Su Zhenyi looked at the bare pond in the courtyard quietly and sluggishly.

She still lives in Mrs. Hou's yard, and in this pond, she picks and plants her favorite lotus flowers. It's just that it's only spring now, and the lotus won't even have a flower bone.

The maids who served were still discussing the matter of whether the eldest young master would serve in the capital before, but when they walked in front of Su Zhenyi, their voices were quiet.

Su Zhenyi, who was sitting on the railing with the pillar, didn't seem to hear anything, and didn't react at all.

The maid was bitten by Su Zhenyi when she went crazy, so when she approached her, she was very cautious.

"What day is it?" The third girl suddenly spoke.

The maid took the black chicken soup, put the soup cup into the room, and called Su Zhenyi into the room and said, "Third Miss, let's drink the soup first." ”

"Why haven't the lotus flowers bloomed yet?" Su Zhenyi asked again.

The maid breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, and secretly sighed that the third girl was really crazy.

"Third Miss, it's only spring, and the lotus flowers won't bloom." After the maid put the chicken soup out of a small bowl, she stood behind Su Zhenyi.

Su Zhenyi brought the small bowl in front of her and stirred the spoon in her hand one by one. She stirred for a long time before she picked up the white porcelain spoon and put the soup into her mouth.

The maid looked forward from the back position, and although the third girl, Su Zhenyi, was not very clear, she really didn't say anything about her demeanor and appearance.

Now this weak appearance makes the maid who doesn't have much knowledge can't help but think of Xizi.

Xizi holds her heart, in the poems that the eldest girl once read, the beautiful woman she talked about is like the third girl.

After drinking a small half of the chicken soup, Su Zhenyi was tired. She walked to the bed by herself, leaning against the carved railing behind the bed and became a little drowsy.

The maid stepped forward to make the bed for Su Zhenyi, but there was a sudden sound of eager footsteps behind her.

"Sister."

It's the second young master who went to the academy who came back. The maid wrapped the quilt around Su Zhenyi even more wholeheartedly.

Su Jinxuan looked at her sister in front of her with a distressed look on her face, and asked, "Sister, are you uncomfortable, I'll go and ask my grandmother to ask for another doctor for you." ”

Su Zhenyi shook her head and looked at her younger brother, there seemed to be some endless pity in her eyes. She said to Su Jinxuan in a weak voice, "No need. Jinxuan, how are you in the academy? ”

The serving maid had stepped aside. Every time the second young master comes over, the third girl seems to be able to sober up for a rare period of time. In fact, sometimes looking at the three girls' sick appearance, the maid couldn't bear to stay here and disturb their sister and brother. But if she does not stay here, she will not be able to reply to the order of the eldest lady.

In fact, the third girl and the second young master didn't talk about anything every time, and after chatting a few words of concern, the third girl rested in good spirits. The maid wondered in her heart whether the three girls were not in good health.

"If you have such a good pen and ink, you must have a good pencil case. My sister is here to embroider for you. As soon as Su Zhenyi's words were long, people seemed to be more labored.

After listening to Su Zhenyi's instructions, the maid couldn't bear to persuade: "Third Miss, you are not in good health, why don't you embroider the pencil case." ”

"No, you go and prepare embroidered cloth for me." After Su Zhenyi finished this sentence, her spirit was even worse. She sat back on the bed, her eyes slowly closed, and her breathing soft.

The second young master, Su Jinxuan, looked at his sister with a distressed expression. He clenched his fists and walked out.

The maid sat on the edge of Su Zhenyi's bed, and when she saw that Su Zhenyi was already asleep, she helped her lie down. After repeatedly pressing the corners of the quilt for Su Zhenyi, the maid went out to tell the eldest lady about today's events, and went to get some embroidered cloth for the third girl to make a pencil case.

The door crept shut, but the occupants suddenly opened their eyes. There was a sharpness in those dark eyes that the patient did not have at all.

How the subordinates of the Marquis Mansion of Chang'an speculated, putting aside it, the eldest young master Su Jinyu was thunderous and would take the homework of the second young master Su Jinxuan every five days.

On this day, Su Jinyu still went to the study to check Su Jinxuan's homework. The two brothers asked and answered a few sentences, and a small servant came to tell him outside the door, saying that Zhou Xuanlin, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, had come to visit the house.

Zhou Xuanlin had a deep friendship with Su Jinyu, so Su Jinyu asked his subordinates to lead him directly to the study.

Su Jinxuan asked his brother a little nervously: "Big brother, shall I go back to the room first?" ”

"You're not a girl, so why be so cautious, let's continue." Su Jinyu actually didn't have much wariness of his younger brother, he was strict with the other party, but he didn't always talk about kindness.

Zhou Xuanlin is the same year as Su Jinxuan, but at the age of nineteen, he has reached the position of the fourth grade, relying on the same solid family background. Zhou Xuanlin's father is the crown prince, and the eldest sister entered the palace, but in five years, she was already a concubine. The elder brother and younger brother are both officials in the court, and their rank is not low.

Compared with Su Jinyu's independence and support for the future of the entire Chang'an Hou Mansion, Zhou Xuanlin has always lived smoothly and without pressure.

Because of this difference, Zhou Xuanlin's temperament is far more cheerful and noisy than Su Jinyu. Pushing open the door of the study, Zhou Xuanlin looked at Su Jinxuan next to Su Jinyu with interest, and asked with a smile, "This is your precious brother?" ”

This title is quite uncomfortable for an introverted person like Su Jinyu. He clenched his fists and coughed twice before replying, "Don't scare him." ”

"It's not a big girl, how can you be scared!" Zhou Xuanlin replied nonchalantly. He leaned in front of Su Jinxuan and looked at the other party seriously, and this direct and hot gaze actually made Su Jinxuan's ears burn.

Zhou Xuanlin found Su Jinxuan's red ears, and after snorting, he teased: "Do you really think of yourself as a big girl?" I look at you because I see that you are somewhat similar to Jinyu. ”

When Su Jinxuan heard this, he only felt that his hands and feet were cold. He knew that his life experience would be laughed at, but he didn't expect it to be so fast and on such an occasion.

Su Jinxuan was at a loss for a while by his emotions, and after Su Jinyu found out, he frowned a little.

If he hadn't seen Su Jinxuan's situation, he wouldn't have thought about it. He has been friends with Zhou Xuanlin for decades, and he is very sure that the other party has no other malicious intentions.

This younger brother is too ......

Su Jinyu was a little displeased, so she frowned.

This expression made Su Jinxuan even more nervous, and there were some moist tears in his eyes. It's just that he himself knows that this is not what a man should do, so he forcibly held back.

One of the two brothers had a red face, and the other had a face frozen like an ice cube, and Zhou Xuanlin realized that something was wrong.

His brother, how can he have such a complicated mind and trouble to get along.

But he is a guest, and he has not made such an embarrassment as the host's house for the first time. Zhou Xuanlin could only forcibly change the topic. He looked to the side, and casually took a painting that was pressed under the copybook to look at it.

"This painting is really ......" Zhou Xuanlin saw that the words on that side were not Su Jinyu's, and immediately decided that the following painting should boast of an artistic conception even if it was a chicken claw print.

It's just that when he completely pulled out this painting to look at it, he blurted out sincerely: "What a beauty!" ”

Beauty?

Beauty!

The two brothers woke up at the same time.

"What's that?" The displeasure in Su Jinyu's heart increased greatly, he didn't expect that this younger brother was a little squeamish, even if he was so young, he was obsessed with beauty and went down the crooked road.

Su Jinxuan blurted out an explanation: "That's my sister!" ”

Sensing the gaze of the eldest brother next to him, Su Jinxuan added again: "That's my third sister. ”

Su Jinyu frowned and barely looked over. I saw a young girl leaning on the edge of the bed, holding an embroidered cloth in her hand on the embroidery scene.

It is somewhat rare for a girl to embroider on a bed, but what is even rarer than the scene is the girl's appearance and posture.

Su Jinyu has never seen her newly returned third sister. But if the younger brother's painting is not exaggerated, these three sisters are really a rare beauty.

Xizi is heartfelt, but it's just such a beauty?

"The painting is already like this, and the people are so beautiful?" Zhou Xuanlin sighed, and he couldn't help but look at Su Jinxuan in front of him again.

This fifteen-year-old boy is still a little childish, but his facial features are indeed delicate and handsome, and the skin around him is also so delicate that it is not good. A pair of hands are a little more beautiful than ordinary women's.

How beautiful is his sister?
