Chapter 167: See Su Mianmian
Following the Song family and the Wei family, the four sisters got off the carriage and walked towards the gate of the eldest princess's mansion, the housekeeper saw the Shen character on the carriage, greeted him with a smile, and gave a few thoughtful courtesies, and let the subordinates take them to the main hall of the mansion with a few words of flattery.
The emperor often gives some good things to the mansion of the eldest princess of Pingle, so this mansion looks very luxurious, at a glance, this exquisite elegant garden is one of the best in Chang'an City, and even the trees in the courtyard are very rare varieties.
Knowing that the Shen family had a holiday with the eldest princess's mansion, a few people were also at peace, and they didn't look casually, but slowly followed the person who led the way and walked forward, because there were many people present, but it seemed that the people who came in with them were not very familiar, and when they walked to the front of the hall, they heard the voices of the people inside, and it sounded like there were a lot of people.
"Eldest princess, the ladies and ladies of the Shen family have arrived. ”
The maid stepped forward and saluted, and said to the eldest princess Pingle, who was sitting in the center.
The Song family stepped forward and gave Ping Le a salute: "Say hello to the eldest princess, I wish the eldest princess a happy and boundless life!"
Pingle sat on the right seat, looking at a few people from the Shen family condescendingly, her eyes narrowed slightly, the smile on the corner of her lips had not yet dispersed, she locked her eyes on Shen Yanshu's body, and said: "No courtesy, I want to be lively and lively on the birthday of this palace, so I don't need to be polite." ”
"Thank you, Eldest Princess. The group straightened up.
Ping Le's eyes were still looking at Shen Yanshu, she really couldn't find fault with this rule, only to see her head and eyebrows, standing behind Wei, like an inconspicuous little girl.
But it is such a seemingly docile girl's family, but she can force Ruolan to her current situation, and even throw Ruolan directly into the lake, which shows that this woman is not small.
"Miss Shen San. Pingle said suddenly.
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked in the direction of Shen Yanshu.
Even the Song family and the Wei family were stunned, but they were worried in their hearts, the eldest princess was not a good person, if she wanted to take revenge on Shen Yanshu with this, who could stop the people present?
Shen Yanshu stood up unhurriedly, stepped forward and saluted, and said, "Go back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the courtiers are here." ”
Pingle saw her unhurried attitude, but chuckled: "There are a lot of remarks about Miss Shen San these days, the last time I saw you at the palace banquet, this palace thinks that you are a good child, although there is some conflict with Ruolan, but I heard that you also went to Ruolan to get married?"
Shen Yanshu didn't deny it: "Yes." ”
Pingle said: "That's really a good kid." ”
Shen Yanshu lowered his eyes: "The eldest princess praises falsely." ”
The ladies and ladies present were relieved to see that they did not have a conflict, but rather eased.
There are many people who find it strange, this eldest princess has never been such a good talker, why is it different today?
Song and Wei looked at each other, but neither spoke.
Ping Le's gaze moved to Shen Yuyan behind the Song family, because Shen Yuyan was supported by An Tao behind her, and she looked like she was very afraid of her falling.
"This girl looks like she is raw, I don't know which girl from your Shen family is it?"
Song glanced sideways at Shen Yuyan and said in a low voice, "Don't you come forward to reply?"
Shen Yuyan stepped forward and said: "Back to Her Royal Highness the eldest princess, the courtiers are in the Shen family, her name is Yuyan, and her father is Shen Kangzhi. ”
As soon as her words fell, the people around her began to talk about it.
"Isn't that Miss Shen Wu who was sent to Zhuangzi and came back?"
"No, I heard that I was sent back because I hurt my leg. ”
"Look at her like this, her legs are still not good, why did she go out?"
"Maybe I've been in the countryside for a long time, and I want to come over to see the world, otherwise I'm really going to become a villager, this temperament is really different from her sister!"
Although their voices were small, these words still fell on Shen Yuyan's ears.
Shen Yuyan didn't seem to hear what they said, she still looked ahead, and she couldn't see a trace of panic.
Princess Pingle said: "I still have some medicine for leg injuries here, and I will let the housekeeper bring it to you when I go back, and it will be more convenient to recover as soon as possible." ”
Shen Yuyan was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, eldest princess!"
The eldest princess's attitude towards the Shen family surprised everyone, and many people speculated that it was probably because the Shen family had been favored recently, so the eldest princess's attitude was like this.
But no matter what, they can't afford to mess with this Shen family, and they can't afford to mess with this eldest princess.
It didn't take long for Mrs. Weng to take Ruan Leyao to the Eldest Princess's Mansion, and Ruan Leyao specially chose a location close to Shen Yanshu.
It was all the ladies who were chatting with the eldest princess to relieve their boredom, and the lord of the eldest princess's mansion, Ruoning, returned to the eldest princess's mansion with her husband a few days ago, and was helping her take care of the birthday banquet.
There were more and more people, and the lord of Ruoning took the ladies to the back garden, after all, the topics that the ladies talked about were always a little different from the ladies.
Shen Xi'er and Shen Baozhu have their own acquaintances, and Shen Yanshu is with Ruan Leyao, in comparison, Shen Yuyan is a little lonely, her legs and feet are inconvenient, although there are no crutches now, but after walking a few steps, she will be tired and panicked, so she can only sit on the side and watch others.
Lord Ruoning stepped forward and said to Shen Yuyan, "Fifth Miss Shen, why don't I take you to rest first." ”
Shen Yuyan smiled lightly: "Then thank you to the county lord." ”
Shen Yanshu, who was talking to Ruan Leyao, frowned slightly when he saw Shen Yuyan and Ruoning County Lord forgetting the direction of the backyard.
Ruan Leyao saw Shen Yanshu's expression change, so she followed her gaze and happened to see Shen Yuyan's back.
She said, "By the way, why is the maid next to Shen Yuyan still there last time?"
Shen Yanshu said: "What else, with Shen Yuyan's injury, it is more than enough for her to protect a maid." ”
They were strolling along the path in the back garden at this time, and the small pavilion was full of young ladies of the family, who seemed to be discussing some interesting topics, and they all had a slight smile on their faces, but they were more beautiful than the flowers and trees on the side.
It's just that Shen Yanshu and Ruan Leyao have never liked to join in the fun, so they just walked around and took a look.
The hottest part of summer had passed, but now the sun was still a little hot, and the two of them could only sit on a stone table under a big tree on the side.
Qing Kite saw the fine sweat on Shen Yanshu's forehead, and stepped forward to take out a handkerchief to help her gently wipe it.
Ruan Leyao said: "Don't you still have a maid with good martial arts? ”
Shen Yanshu directly took the handkerchief in the hand of the green kite, wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said, "If you want to come to the princess's mansion, it will not come to this point." ”
Ruan Leyao said: "No matter what, be careful." ”
It's not that she's too cautious, it's just that since she's known Shen Yanshu for so long, Shen Yanshu has encountered a lot of such things, if it weren't for her martial arts, I'm afraid she wouldn't know how many times she had been planted.
The two of them were talking, and not far away a woman walked in their direction, wearing fine pink tulle, her body seemed to be a little weak, and she was dressed very elegantly and quietly, giving people the feeling of a breeze, but it seemed that her posture was too weak, and she always felt that she would fall down when the wind blew.
Shen Yanshu's eyes flashed slightly, she knew this person.
Su Taishi's granddaughter, Su Mianmian.
Taishi Su Jin'an is more than 70 years old, and he has retired to the court in two years, but he has not been able to find a suitable candidate in this court, which has dragged on until now, before the fall of Taifu Qi has made the dynasty chaotic for a while, if the position of the Taishi is shaken again, I am afraid that the court will be unstable, but fortunately, Su Jin'an is in good health, although he is more than 70 years old, he is very satisfied with the emperor when he handles official business.
Su Jin'an originally had a son, but later died of illness, leaving only a son and a daughter, Su Mianmian and her brother Su Zhao.
The heirs of Su Fu are thin, and the two grandchildren are Su Jin'an's treasures, Emperor Zhou Xi and Emperor Zhou Wen take great care of Su Jin'an, and Su Jin'an's political achievements have made many people in the court admire.
Because Su Mianmian has been frail since she was a child, she rarely attends such occasions.
"Two sisters, can I come with you? The pavilion over there is full of people, so it's hard to go any further. Su Mianmian stepped forward and said, her thin voice was very sincere.
Shen Yanshu didn't mind, she had a good impression of Su Mianmian, and said: "It's okay, originally we also thought that there were too many people in the pavilion who didn't pass." ”
Su Mianmian bowed to the maid who led the way behind her and said, "You can go back, I'll be here." ”
The maid saluted Su Mianmian and turned to leave.
Shen Yanshu looked at the maid and felt a little familiar, she narrowed her eyes slightly, this should be the maid who led the way in the eldest princess's mansion, but it was just to lead the way, Shen Yanshu felt that something was wrong.
Su Mianmian said: "I don't often go out on weekdays, I don't know which house the two sisters are from?"
Ruan Leyao said: "My name is Ruan Leyao, and her name is Shen Yanshu. ”
Su Mianmian looked at them with some surprise, suddenly chuckled, and said, "I have heard of the two of you, especially Miss Shen, the top of the school examination in Zhaodetang, and my grandfather also told me about the last palace banquet, I really admire it." ”
Shen Yanshu said: "You're welcome." ”
Su Mianmian continued: "I am Su Mianmian from the Taishi Mansion, you can call me Mianmian, can I call you Sister Le Yao and Sister Yan Shu?"
Although she looks a little weak, her temperament is annoying, Ruan Leyao said: "Naturally, it is possible." ”
The three of them chatted a little, Su Mianmian rarely attended this kind of occasion, but she was very interested in Shen Yanshu and them, and asked questions one after another, not like someone who had just met recently.
While chatting, a maid from Weng's Mansion saw Ruan Leyao and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Miss, the eldest lady is looking for you." ”
Ruan Leyao was puzzled: "Why did my aunt suddenly look for me?"
The eldest lady didn't say anything. The maid bowed her head and said.
Ruan Leyao didn't think too much about it, turned her head to Shen Yanshu and said, "My aunt is looking for me, so you can talk here first." ”
Shen Yanshu said, "Hmm." ”
Seeing that Su Mianmian was accompanying Shen Yanshu, she Ruan Leyao got up and walked in the direction of the hall.
