Out of the Tatexiang Courtyard, Chen Bing and Chen Yun, who were still smiling just now, immediately moved a few steps away from Su Wan'er, while Chen Xi was still the same cold appearance. Although Chen Lan was assigned by her grandmother to take Su Wan'er around the house, she was already wary of Su Wan'er's character of climbing along the pole, so she naturally didn't want to get too close to her. However, this is such a situation where others are snubbed, but Su Wan'er doesn't seem to care about it at all, and talks about her going to Beijing along the way.

“…… There are at least one or two hundred boats parked on the wharf in Tianjin, which looks spectacular. At this time, I heard that there were the most ships coming back from Korea and Japan, and I knew that my brother was a boy who went to Beijing to take the exam, and the owner of the same inn also gave my grandmother a box of four good ginseng! ”

"In those small county towns, the fifteenth day of the first month of each month is the day of the market, and people from all over the country and the neighborhoods come to sell things on these two days, and some skillful hands sell some homemade gadgets in the market. You see, this is a unicorn made of silk thread that I bought when I was passing by. Grandmother said that this craft may not be available in the Hundred Treasure Pavilion in the capital, but I took the opportunity to collect a lot of good things......

"There is no curfew in Yangzhou Mansion, and every night, there are many cruise ships on this Slender West Lake. My family once chartered a boat to swim in the lake, and the lotus lanterns floating in the water were really beautiful. It is rumored that Emperor Taizu met Zhaomu Guifei Niangniang in the Slender West Lake, so countless people come here every night to put the lanterns, which is very effective......"

Chen Lan watched coldly, and saw that Su Wan'er was talking about what she had seen and heard one by one, and after a while, she gradually attracted everyone's attention, and she admired this person's cleverness in her heart. After all, she still has the experience of her previous life as a foundation, but no matter what kind of scheming Chen Bing and the three sisters have, in the final analysis, they are still young, except for this Hou Mansion and the relatives outside, how have they ever seen the world of flowers outside? In addition, Su Wan'er seemed to conjure up all kinds of gadgets from her body as if she was juggling, including novel styles, small folding lanterns, and stone carved seals...... Apparently it had been prepared for a long time. As a result, even Chen Xi, who has always been cold, occasionally has a couple of sentences with Su Wan'er, and the atmosphere is lively.

Zining Jucui, Liuju, Fangfei Pavilion, Jinxiu Pavilion, these serious places of residence, can't take outsiders to visit, so Chen Lan took the group to the back garden. Because the old marquis Chen Yong lived at home for very little time, and the back garden did not spend much effort to take care of it, except for the introduction of Shichahai living water to build a small jade stream in the garden, there are only three or four pavilions.

At this time, it is winter, and the garden is bleak, and only a few plum blossoms are blooming well. Seeing this, Su Wan'er had to talk about the varieties of plum blossoms and so on, and flattered the four sisters of the Chen family flatteringly, and finally went to the sheltered listening to the wind to rest, Chen Lan saw that someone was sending tea, so he personally held one for Su Wan'er, and said with a smile: "It's Lu'an tea made with this year's snow water, cousin take a sip and taste it." ”

Chen Bing, who was on the side, only then remembered that the Su family was delusional about marrying the Hou Mansion, and his tone was ridiculed, so he said with a smile: "Yes, Cousin Wan'er should also take a sip to moisten her throat." ”

With a cousin, Su Wan'er suddenly remembered that she called Chen Lan her sister in the Great Huguo Temple, and the four words moistening her throat made her quite embarrassed. But since she was a child, the situation at home has deteriorated, and she has heard much more harsh words than this, so she just grabbed the handkerchief on her hand and passed it. Seeing that Chen Bing asked for a white fungus soup, and came to the side holding the hand stove to keep warm, Chen Xi took advantage of something to pull Chen Lan out, and she could look at Chen Yun who was silent opposite.

The clothes embroidered with gold and silver threads were enough, but those jewelry patterns really hooked her heart. Huang Chengcheng's collar is an opal, the cloves stuffed in the ears seem to be a good Nanzhu, the plum blossom hairpin on the head is saved up with gold beads one by one, delicate and complicated, and the mink warm cover she has only seen in her grandmother's box, and she was taught a hard lesson when she wanted to touch it at that time. Thinking about the little jewelry she had saved through all these years, today even the double-strand gold hairpin left by her mother was taken away by her grandmother, she couldn't help but clench her fists, and the sharp nails sank into her palms, and the pain calmed her down.

Grandmother only has her brother in her eyes, how can she ever have her? It's just that the old lady in the Hou Mansion is not easy to deal with, and the grandmother may not have a chance of winning, if she can help, there may be hope for her marriage! Otherwise, in order for the eldest brother to be able to become a jinshi, what can't grandmother do? It's like the show talent of the year......

"Fourth sister, when I saw you just now, I thought it was the person who walked down from the painting." She winked at Chen Yun with a smile, and then glanced at the others who had left under the pretext, "I see that they are all a little far away from you, is it because of the concubine?" ”

Chen Yun originally felt that it was the biggest mistake for him to bother to dress up today, but when he heard this, he was even more ashamed and angry, and couldn't help sneering: "What about the concubine, the daughter of the concubine in this world also has her own glory and wealth!" ”

"I said the wrong thing just now, and the fourth sister said it very well." Su Wan'er took advantage of the situation and nodded again and again, but immediately showed a regretful expression, "It's just that there are few people who don't pick a concubine when they get married, and when they meet some black-hearted mothers or elders, they even regard the relatives of their daughters as bargaining chips, or cling to their bosses, or to get rid of their crimes, or to ask for more dowries......" She babbled about the old things in the family house that she heard "along the way", and when she saw Chen Yun's face getting whiter and paler, she sighed, "All in all, there are many stupid people in this world, how do you know what is inside." , there are also four sisters who are so smart about ice and snow? ”

Seeing that Chen Yun was wringing a handkerchief there and pondering, she didn't say more, so she stood up with a smile, and saw Chen Lan holding the stove into the door, she hurriedly greeted her, and said with a smile: "That day, after our brother and sister returned from the Great Huguo Temple, my grandmother scolded the eldest brother fiercely, and the eldest brother was so annoyed that he said that he was going to apologize to the third sister and the younger brother Chen together today, but later because the homework was too tight, the test was close at hand, so I didn't come together, and asked the third sister to forgive the sin." ”

After making amends for a matter several times, Chen Lan was stunned in his heart, and said with a smile that it was already in the past. I thought that Su Wan'er would retreat from the difficulties as before, but who knew that the other party was so familiar that she followed her step by step, and she was still calling her sister affectionately and talking to herself.

"When I saw her at Hukokuji Temple that day, I hit my sister off at first sight, and when I learned about my sister from my grandmother, I felt even more so. We have similar experiences, I have no father and mother since I was a child, I only have an older brother, and my grandmother has worked hard to bring me up, and I can be regarded as seeing the warmth and coldness of people. This world is really unfair to our daughter's family, men can still rely on the imperial examination or military exploits to get ahead, but women are born well, they must marry well, otherwise it will be a lifetime of suffering. Thinking about it, my sister should also have a deep understanding, after all, marriage is involuntary, if it is the pity of the elders, it is just that, if not, ......"

Seeing Su Wan'er sighing deeply and pitifully, Chen Lan looked at her with interest, thinking that the so-called good singing and doing are probably nothing more than that. Looking at Chen Yun who was lost next to the round table over there, she could think of what Su Wan'er had just said to Chen Yun even with her toes. After thinking about it in her heart, she smiled slightly at Su Wan'er, who was looking at her.

"What my cousin said is that it is just the words of the matchmaker of the parents, since there are elders above, marriage is naturally not something that the younger generations should think about. The younger generation has always been filial and deferential, and the elders naturally pity and care, and they will never joke about lifelong events. ”

As she spoke, Chen Lan had already noticed that there was a thick layer of Korean paper, and there seemed to be someone outside the window, so she deliberately said such a sentence, and when she saw Su Wan'er talking, she didn't bother to say anything to her, nodded and avoided it. When she got to the back room, she saw Hongluo talking to a few other girls, and she thought for a moment and didn't go in.

Just now, Chen Xi came to her, and he actually asked her about the jewelry box sent by Zheng's mother that day. She mentioned a few things a little and asked Chen Xi again, although the other party's answers were not true, but in comparison, she still got more than Chen Xi. It's just that when Chen Xi asked her about meeting the prince of Weiguo in Huguo Temple that day, she noticed that something was wrong.

Does Aunt Luo in the third room want Chen Xi and the prince of Weiguo to marry? If that's the case, I'm afraid that the current head of the Chen family is not enough, even if the title of the second uncle Chen Jiu is not lost, and the concubine of the third room is matched with the prince of Weiguo, which is still a very unsuitable match in the eyes of the people of the time. Putting aside these side points, Zhu asked Zheng's mother to give Chen Xi a box of jewelry, and it was definitely not for Sanfang to marry the Weiguo Mansion. In this way, I'm afraid that the old lady has already made a good calculation.

The sisters and Su Wan'er went out of the back garden all the way back to the Tatexiang Courtyard, but as soon as they entered the main room, they got an inexplicable and surprising news, but it was Zhu who said that they would leave Su Wan'er to live at home for a few days. Faced with such an abrupt situation, Chen Lan looked at it coldly, and saw that Su Wan'er herself was also full of astonishment, while Chen couldn't hide her annoyance, and suddenly had a few guesses in her heart.

Around the time when the two old ladies were too tricky, it was still Zhu's chess that won the game! The day after tomorrow is the Lantern Festival, and after she goes back, she has to prepare well.
