Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 62 Summer Brings Coolness, Autumn Brings Warmth
Sun Rui is the eldest son of the Marquis of Hui'an, and he was born with a good-looking talent and a handsome appearance. If it weren't for the goodness of Longyang, it would be an excellent marriage.In her previous life, Su Lingrong only saw the superficial brilliance of this marriage, and didn't really understand Sun Rui. She begged the old lady for so long, and she regretted it only after marrying into the Hui'an Hou's mansion.

After Mrs. Huian Hou came to the mansion yesterday to express her intentions, the second wife, Mrs. Guo, didn't want Su Lingyun to be so cheap.Her sister Rong can only marry that dude Wu Er, so how can that lowly daughter marry so well?
Therefore, Mrs. Guo did not immediately agree to the marriage, but only said to think about it later.

Su Lingyun heard this from her servants, she put down her pen, knowing that Guo Shi didn't want her to marry too well.She is a concubine and a concubine, if she can marry the eldest son of the Hui'an Houfu, then she is indeed the one to be promoted.She gritted her teeth and wanted to go to Guo Shi for a theory, but when she thought that Guo Shi was her aunt, she naturally had the right to decide her marriage, and it was hard to tell who was right and who was not.I had no choice but to sit back again, picked up the pen unwillingly and continued to copy the scriptures.

Unexpectedly, two days later, Mrs. Hui'an Hou came again.

This time not only came by himself, but also brought his son Sun Rui along, saying that he wanted the old lady to see each other.

Mrs. Su, Yin Shi, Guo Shi and the third wife Yu Shi happened to be in the upper room, and Su Xi and Su Lingyun were also here.Originally, the whole family was sitting and talking, but when they heard that Mrs. Hou of Hui'an was coming, Su Xi and Su Lingyun had no choice but to go behind the screen with the base of painted bamboo and evergreen red sandalwood.

Only then did Su Xi know the purpose of her former son, Mrs. Hou Hui'an, who came here.

The sons are all brought here, so what else can they do besides proclaiming their love?I just don't know, who is this marriage for?

Su Lingrong is already engaged, and the only girls in the house who have not left the court are herself and Su Lingyun.Su Xi was startled, didn't she tell herself?
On second thought, it's unlikely.If it was really her, it was impossible for Yin Shi not to tell her. She collected herself and looked outside the screen.

Mrs. Hui'an Hou has a beautiful appearance, and she is even more kind when she smiles. Sun Rui's appearance just follows her.

Mrs. Su said: "Mrs. Sun, please sit down."

After Mrs. Hou Hui'an took her seat, Sun Rui took a step forward, bowed to the old lady and the three wives, and said: "Your greetings to the old lady and the three wives, old lady Hemerocallis Changchun."

Looking at it this way, Sun Rui was born really well.

Su Xi sat on the beauty couch behind the screens, and through the gap between the screens, her eyes fell on Sun Rui.I saw Sun Rui wearing a sky blue robe embroidered with bamboo patterns after the rain. He was tall and tall, with handsome features and proper manners. He looked like a well-bred son.If he didn't know about his previous life, it would be hard to believe that such a man would have such kindness.

Su Xi used to only think that Sun Rui had an indescribable strangeness, which seemed different from ordinary men, until one day when she went to the street, the carriage happened to break down and stopped on an inconspicuous street, she lifted the curtain to see Looking around, I happened to see Sun Rui and a man walking out of a courtyard intimately.At that time, there was no one in the alley, the man put his arms around Sun Rui's waist, and squeezed his palms on his hips...

Su Xi was frightened and stupid at that time, she had never seen two big men hugging in the street, she hurriedly lowered the curtain, she was shocked for a long time and did not calm down.

At that time, Su Lingrong had been married to Sun Rui for several months, and it didn't take long before Su Lingrong also found out about it.

It is said that this Mr. Sun not only has ambiguities with several men, but also raises a lot of actors outside... The reason why he married Su Lingrong was just to continue the incense of the Sun family.

Now Su Xi looked at this young master grandson, recalling his behavior in the previous life, and the good impression he had aroused because of his appearance quickly faded away.

Su Xi turned her gaze and saw Su Lingyun next to her with a delicate face, shy and timid, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and vaguely guessed what was going on.Looking outside, apart from talking to the old lady, Mrs. Hui'anhou spent most of her time looking at the second lady, Mrs. Guo. In this way, it is self-evident who Mrs. Hui'anhou is here for today.

It's just that Su Lingyun has never dealt with Hui'an Hou's mansion, why did Mrs. Hui'an Hou fall in love with her?Besides, why did she marry fifth girl Su Lingrong in her previous life, and will marry sixth girl Su Lingyun in this life?Su Xi couldn't figure out the key to this.

At this end, Mrs. Su looked very satisfied with Sun Rui. When Mrs. Hui'an Hou left, she personally sent him outside the door.Going back to the upper room and sitting in the rosewood rose chair, she said: "I see that this marriage is a good one, so let's make it like this. Su Liu is not young anymore, and he will be fifteen after the New Year. Once the marriage is settled, it's better to stay in the boudoir as soon as possible to settle down."

This is talking about the matter that Su Lingyun took Su Xi's jade pendant the other day. This incident was quite a big one, and the old lady knew about it.

The second wife, Mrs. Guo, was dissatisfied. The old lady spoke up, and she couldn't refuse anymore, so she said: "Yes, it's just that it's not good for us to speak up. If Mrs. Hui'an Hou brings up this matter again next time, my daughter-in-law I promised to come down."

The old lady Su nodded without rebutting.

Su Lingyun heard that the old lady nodded and agreed to the marriage, these few days can be said to be full of spring breeze, very happy, there is a kind of joy that all hardships are rewarded.It's not bad for her to think so. If this marriage is completed, she will be the clan wife as soon as she marries into the Hui'an Hou's mansion. Not to mention being in charge of the middle school, Sun Rui will inherit the title of Hui'an Hou in the future. If she has another son, it will be stable It's a surefire Mrs. Hou.

What's more, Sun Rui was good-looking and gentle. Today, just a few glances behind the screen are enough to make Su Lingyun fascinated.

Su Lingyun returned to the room, looked at the half-copied scriptures on the table, and thought of the insults she had received, her mood sank suddenly.She squeezed her fists and thought resentfully that she was just from a poor background, but she wanted to please Su Xi in a low voice and with a shy face. After she married Sun Rui, she would definitely win over Sun Rui's heart, so that now Those who look down on themselves regret going.

Ever since Su Xi repaired Wei Yan's purse, Crown Prince Wei has not come to look for her at the back door of the General's Mansion in the past few days.

While Su Xi felt peaceful, she couldn't help muttering: "If you cross the river, the bridge will be demolished."

Today is the 66th birthday of Qing Guogong Fu Hongsheng, the Su family went to celebrate his birthday, and Su Xi went with the Yin family.When seeing Duke Qing's old lady, Su Xi smiled with both dimples, and called "Old Lady" generously and naturally, as if she didn't know that she came to propose marriage for Fu Shaoyun last time.

Duke Qing's old lady sighed, and said: "Sister Xi...ah, what a pity, what a pity..."

It's a pity that Fu Shaoyun didn't have this blessing.

Mrs. Mei was not happy at the side, she was very dissatisfied when the old lady went to the general's mansion without her telling her about marriage, now she said this in front of everyone, and immediately said: "Mother, there are many guests outside, What are you talking about?"

Mrs. Qing shook her head, expressing that she and Mrs. Mei couldn't get along.

Later, several girls went to the backyard, Yu Baotong did not come today, only Tang Wan came.

The sun is hot and the weather is hot and dry.Su Xi and Tang Wan specially chose a secluded octagonal gazebo to enjoy the cool air. The two sat in the pavilion, chatting while tasting the refreshments brought by the maid.

Su Xi was very intolerant to heat, and within a short while, a thin layer of sweat appeared on the tip of her nose, even if two maids were around shaking cattail fans, it would not help.Seeing that she was holding her cheeks, Tang Wan was so hot that her whole body was wilting, she couldn't help smiling, and said, "I don't think Yin Qiqi's fan should be given to Wei Shizi, it should be given to you. Xia Song Cool, autumn brings warmth, you need coolness more than anyone else."

Su Xi rolled her black eyes, and finally regained her sanity, "What does Sister Tang mean by that?"

Tang Wan looked around, there were only the two of them nearby, and the others were enjoying the coolness in the pavilion in the middle of the lake not far away, so she didn't hide anything from her and said: "The day the empress empress held a banquet a few days ago, it was the prince Wei's Birthday? After the palace banquet was over, I saw Yin Qiqi specially called Wei Shizi to a place where no one was around, and gave him a folding fan made by himself."

Having said that, Su Xi remembered that Yin Qiqi had indeed discussed with Yin Pengpeng how to deliver the gift, but she left early and had other things in her mind, so she naturally forgot about it .

Su Xi's thoughts moved slightly, but his face remained calm, and he said casually: "Later, did Wei Shizi put down the fan?"

Tang Wan curled her lips and said, "I looked at it from a distance, but I didn't see it clearly. It's just that Yin Qiqi is a bit bolder. She dares to pass private things to men in broad daylight. If someone sees it, she is not afraid of ruining her own. reputation."

Su Xi said "Oh", and felt a little unhappy when she thought of other girls giving Wei Feng a gift.

Tang Wan didn't pay attention to her expression, and said again: "However, a person who observes etiquette like Wei Shizi should not be accepted."

Su Xi flat-mouthed, Xin Daowei Wei is not a polite person, everyone was deceived by his appearance.

Wei Feng looked polite on the surface, but actually he was downright bad.

After the birthday banquet was over, Su Xi thought that the incense in the house was almost used up, so she told Yin Shi to go to the spice shop on West Street to buy some spices.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the spice shop, and Su Xi went in and selected several spices such as sandalwood, agarwood, turmeric, cinnamon, and asked Ting Yan to pay the money and was about to go out when a young man in a green shirt suddenly stood beside him and asked Said: "Girl, may I ask what kind of spice this is?"

Su Xi raised her head, saw this person's face, and was stunned for a while, but soon returned to normal, looked at the spice in his hand, and said, "This is Gansongxiang."

Li Hong then asked a few more questions, and said: "My son asked the villain to choose some spices. The villain doesn't know much about these. Can I ask the girl to help me choose some fragrances that are suitable for men?"

Su Xi thought for a moment, and asked Ting Yan to wait for her outside.

After listening to the geese going out, Li Hong saluted Su Xi and said respectfully: "Miss Nine, my son asked the villain to tell you that he needs to return to the fief Jinzhou for a while because of something."
