Chapter 41 Childhood
"Is it your friend from Pingjiang Mansion?" Cai Xuan pointed at the seven or eight hats in Su Wanru's hands in amazement, with a look of surprise on her face, "The reason they came to you is to give you these?"

Su Wanru smiled awkwardly, and said, "I didn't think about it either. Are you okay, I'm worried that you'd start a fight with them."

"No. They are very nice people. They said that you can order whatever you want in the restaurant, and they don't charge me money." Cai Xuan said, and secretly took out a paper bag, "I wrapped half a duck with you. A few steamed buns, we can watch the moon, drink wine and have supper tonight."

"How about we go buy some fruit wine again." Cai Xuan was in high spirits, giggling, "However, your friend is so generous, next time he comes to see you, you must call me together."

Su Wanru looked down at the two steamed buns, dumbfounded, took them all out and stuffed them to Cai Xuan, "Yes. Next time my friend comes to see me again, I will definitely invite you to go with me."

The two walked while talking, Cai Xuan hugged a pile of things, "You can still sleep on my side tonight. Or, I can sleep on your side."

"The bird has been calling for several days, you go to sleep with me." Su Wanru said again: "There is also the belt in your hand, hurry up and finish it, there are many opportunities to enjoy the moon with wine."

Cai Xuan nodded, "You're right, I have to finish my work first, and go to the second floor early."

When the two went back, Cai Xuan was busy dividing up snacks. Hu Qiongyue took a pack of melon seeds indifferently, looked at Su Wanru with a half-smile, and said, "Aunt Qiu values ​​you very much now."

Su Wanru really has tricks. In just a few days, she has gained Aunt Qiu's attention.

"Eat your melon seeds, so much nonsense." Su Wanru didn't bother to talk to her, turned around to pack her things, Hu Qiongyue peeled the melon seeds with a sneer, and said, "But I was thinking too much, you have been scheming since you were a child."

Since childhood?It was only a few years since she became Su Wanru. Su Wanru gave a pack of tea to Cai Xuan who was outside the door, and pointed to the next door, "Don't forget Ruan Siying."

"I really forgot." Cai Xuan laughed, and went to the next door with snacks in her arms.

Hu Qiongyue said: "Speaking of melon seeds, I just remembered that when I was a child, I peeled melon seeds for you." After speaking, a face of sarcasm, "A person who can climb trees when he is crazy, and is full of anger in cursing others, how can he do it so easily?" It hurts so bad I can’t peel the melon seeds.”

Su Wanru didn't want to talk nonsense with her at first, but she suddenly paused, looked at Hu Qiongyue and said, "I... climbed over a tree?"

Impossible, the queen mother said that she was not in good health when she was a child, and she was very well-behaved, not to mention climbing a tree and going down the river, I'm afraid she didn't even touch the tree a few times.

"It's true that noble people forget things too much." Hu Qiongyue didn't believe it, and changed the subject, "Du Zhou, don't you take it over? Don't you do so many things just to bring Du Zhou over?"

Seeing that she didn't talk about it, the topic was brought to the fore, but Su Wanru thought of something, and asked: "Seven or eight years ago, the snow disaster in Pingjiang Mansion, did we go out to give porridge?"

"What do you mean?" Hu Qiongyue frowned. She didn't know what Su Wanru meant, so she naturally thought complicated.

Seeing her appearance, Su Wanru didn't want to talk to her, but she was still puzzled and curious, "literally!"

"I'm going to help the disaster, as for you..." Hu Qiongyue really thought about it, and there was a snow disaster in Pingjiang Mansion that time. Although they were only seven or eight years old at the time, she still remembered, "You didn't come with me , but it’s unknown if I went out by myself.”

"Am I alone?" Su Wanru thought it was impossible, "There are people around me, can I get out?"

Hu Qiongyue sneered, "You are self-effacing, who doesn't know your skills."

What is she capable of?Su Wanru became more and more strange. The queen mother said that she was not in good health, so she seldom went out. Even after she time traveled, she seldom let her go out.Sometimes when she wanted to go out, she always went out cautiously wearing a veiled hat.

She understands the current situation, if she encounters an accident, it will be a burden to her family, so most of the time she stays obediently in her palace to draw pictures and embroider.

But what Hu Qiongyue said made her suspicious. Did the queen mother lie to her, or did Hu Qiongyue say that on purpose?

"I should ask Du Zhou." Su Wanru made up her mind to ask Du Zhou carefully when she saw Du Zhou. Thinking of this, she met Hu Qiongyue's probing gaze and waved her hand: "Forget it, pretend I never asked."

"You must have something to hide from me." Hu Qiongyue probed over and whispered, "You...what are you looking for?"

Hu Qiongyue is indeed very smart, she even guessed that she was looking for something in a small detail.She turned her heart away and didn't show it on her face. She just slapped a bag of dried tea in her hand on the table impatiently, "I'll find the treasure. My father left me a bunch of treasures. Do you want to share with me?" I'm going on a treasure hunt together."

"I'm not in the mood to joke with you." Hu Qiongyue said: "Our lives are together, so I need to let me know what you do."

Su Wanru gave her a blank look, "Your face is really big and strange." Hu Qiongyue stood up and wanted to go out, but Hu Qiongyue held her back, "Why do you want to go to the Jiangyin Marquis's Mansion."

"Climbing high branches." Su Wanru smiled, "Do you want to climb?"

Hu Qiongyue's complexion changed slightly, Su Wanru was able to walk without any scruples because the empress was very protective and rarely let her go out, even when she went out she was very well protected.

Not to mention on the street, no one has ever seen the princess of the Later Song Dynasty, even when those wives from abroad came to make a pilgrimage.

But she is different, she used to entertain guests with the empress, so now Su Wanru dares to show her face as if nothing had happened, but she doesn't dare, she could bump into someone she has seen before.

Su Wanru looked at her and smiled, then turned and went out the door.

Hu Qiongyue looked at her back, thoughtful, if others said that she would believe her, but Su Wanru wouldn't... She is too noble, if she bowed her head to flatter her, it might be better to just kill herself.

Then what exactly was she trying to do, she couldn't figure it out.

Su Wanru went back to her room, lying on the bed thinking about Hu Qiongyue's words, she couldn't think about it, so she put it aside and didn't think about it anymore...

There was a faint cry from the yard, she was stunned for a moment and opened the door to go in, only to see Que'er squatting in the corner wiping tears, "Que'er, what happened, why are you crying?"

"No...it's okay." Que'er wiped away tears and forced a smile, "Sister Su, I heard that you were rewarded by Mrs. Han, and you went out to play in the street?"

Su Wanru sized her up, then handed her the snack, "I bought it on the street just now, you take it home."

"Thank you." Que'er put away the things, "I'll fetch water for you to freshen up, and I'll come over early tomorrow."

Su Wanru nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

Que'er left, Su Wanru leaned on the bed in a daze after washing, the yard door rang three times, her heart skipped a beat and quickly took the door latch in her hand, waited for a moment, the door rang again, and heard someone Shouted, "Su Jin, are you asleep?"

It was Jiao Zhenying, Su Wanru breathed a sigh of relief, she was also in a panic, if Lu Cheng came over, why would she knock on the door.

"Yes." She went out and opened the door, and Jiao Zhenying stood at the door with a smile, "Aren't you asleep yet, just passing by to see you."

Su Wanru answered and asked her to come in and sit down. Without tea, she was served with clear water. The two sat down facing each other. Jiao Zhenying said: "The banquet the day after tomorrow will be held in Sigong's house. His house is next door to Zhizao Mansion. I talked with him last month." Sanniang, I went in once because I was delivering something."

Su Wanru was taken aback, looked at Jiao Zhenying, and smiled faintly.

Jiao Zhenying must have sensed Director Duan's intention to take her there, and also guessed her plan, so he came here tonight to remind her kindly.

"I heard that the house was gifted by the emperor, so it must be very big." Su Wanru heard Xianyin's elegant meaning, and said with a smile, "It's the first time I've gone back to such a big house, and I was very panicked, because I was afraid that I would lose it if I walked by and made a mistake. The face of Jinxiufang."

What a clever little girl, Jiao Zhenying sighed endlessly, and said with a smile on her face: "San Niang is also going, as long as she is not busy, you can just follow her."

The implication is that as long as what you are going to do is not too dangerous, maybe Liu Sanniang can help you.

"Okay." Su Wanru nodded her head, and said happily, "Following Liu Xiuchang, I feel a little better."

Jiao Zhenying smiled lightly, nodded and said: "Then you should rest early, and the clothes should be delivered tomorrow." Then she got up, "Cai Xuan's business is only in the past two days, remember to come to my place to order." .”

Su Wanru smiled and said yes, and sent her out, just as she turned around, she saw a person standing in the shadow of the courtyard wall, she was startled, and that person came out.

"In the middle of the night, why didn't you make any sound at all." Su Wanru frowned and said angrily, "Your master asked you to tie me up again?"
