Embroidered color and fragrance

Chapter 45

Si Sanbao really put a lot of thought into inviting Shen Zhan.

One of his servants not only invited the wives from the back house, but also invited theatrical troupe and female storyteller, and arranged all the entertainment.

Liu Sanniang was very surprised, and Qing Hong was also shocked, "Mr. Si is really amazing."

Su Wanru suddenly thought of Du Zhou. If the Later Song Dynasty had not perished, Du Zhou would definitely be more beautiful than Si Sanbao.

It's a pity...he can only stay in Pingjiang Mansion now, and dare not even leave the door.

A group of people went to the main courtyard. There were four meritorious persons of Yingtian, and they all brought their own daughters here, Jiangyin Hou Han, Jiangning Hou Du, Guang'an Gong Liu, Liu'an Hou Wang and Changzhou. Panyang Bohu's family.

There are also the wives and ladies of Yingtian Zhifu and other officials of all sizes.

Su Wanru was suddenly very fortunate, because she didn't like to socialize with people back then, so she never showed up when these wives went to Pingjiang Mansion for an audience.

If not, she would really be unable to move an inch now.

"Madams are well." Director Duan has contacts with several families, so as soon as he entered, he brought three aunts to greet the ladies. Su Wanru stood at the end, and his eyes fell on the ladies.

The Han Zhengying she had seen before, needless to say, was tall and dignified in appearance, and the other three ladies were either delicate or gorgeous, and they were all young ladies raised by wealthy families.

She and Han Zhengying nodded slightly, not intending to speak.

"That's Miss Wang." Liu Sanniang whispered in her ear, "The one in the goose-yellow gown."

Su Wanru looked at Liu Sanniang in a daze, but Liu Sanniang didn't look at her, and continued: "The one drinking tea is Miss Liu, and the one next to her is Miss Jiangning Hou Du. She also has an elder brother, who is the son of Changxing Hou in Jingzhong. Master Zhu Xun has a good relationship, Prince Zhu returned to Beijing yesterday."

It would be a lie to say that Su Wanru was not shocked, but Liu Sanniang seemed to be showing her favor, but it clearly showed that she knew what she wanted to do.

"It's okay." Liu Sanniang comforted her calmly, "It's all in Yingtian. After you have been in Jinxiufang for a long time, you must have contacts with their houses."

Su Wanru pursed her lips and smiled.

"I haven't seen that little embroiderer before." Ms. Du had a round and delicate appearance, "Sister Sanniang, is she new here?"

Liu Sanniang smiled slightly, nodded and replied, "Come to see the world today."

There are a lot of embroiderers in Jinxiu Workshop, if you bring this one out to see the world, then this one must be different, Miss Du looked at Su Wanru, raised her eyebrows and said: "Her eyes are so beautiful."

As soon as she spoke, the ladies who were talking over there looked over.

"It's Mrs. Su Xiu." Mrs. Han immediately waved her hand, "Come here."

coming!Su Wanru's shyness should be in the past, and the wives on one side showed curiosity, "This little embroiderer is not bad, you know the old lady, but has she embroidered for you?"

They are all human beings, if Director Duan suddenly brought such a beautiful little embroiderer to the banquet, what is the meaning of it, they naturally have to speculate.

Su Wanru is not surprising, even Duan Duan is not a threat, but Si Sanbao is different.

"I just embroidered a screen, and the craftsmanship is much more sophisticated than my age." Mrs. Han praised it very bluntly, and said to Duan Zhangshi: "You have to train this girl well, maybe she will be a Qinghong and a third lady in the future. .”

Director Duan smiled lightly, and said: "You are still young, so I can't be praised by you, Madam."

Old Madam Han smiled, and patted Su Wanru's hand, "I'll play with your sister Han today, and go to the backyard to listen to a play later."

Calling Han Zhengying her elder sister, and playing with the young lady of the aristocratic family, on an equal footing, is this too flattering of her?
Sure enough, the eyes of astonishment all around fell on her.

If Su Wan is not afraid, it would be better if she could sense Si Sanbao's intentions, and let her go back to Jinxiufang in despair... Or, use some means to trap Shen Zhan.

She thanked God and thanked Buddha.

"Yes!" Su Wanru saluted like a child, and retreated to Han Zhengying's side.

Miss Du stared at Su Wanru.

"Master Hou is here." Mrs. Han asked.

Director Duan replied, "The Marquis had already arrived when we entered the door, I guess we should drink tea in the outer courtyard at this moment."

More people came from the outer courtyard, and those who were qualified to come by Yingtian all attended.

They were all aimed at Shen Zhan.

"Then go and play." Mrs. Han sent seven or eight girls, "It's boring for the little girls to listen to our conversations here, maybe why do you blame your parents, Lao Tzu, and my grandmother for not being funny?"

All the wives laughed, Madam Du said: "That's right, my monkey knows how to play when he sees the sky."

"It's good to know how to play." Madam Liu said: "Look at my family. They are like a master all day long. They only know how to read books. They are very old-fashioned and boring. They don't look like a girl's family."

The elders said, seeming to be scolding, but they were comparing openly and secretly.

Miss Liu's temperament is not lively, but she is interesting and knowledgeable.Ms. Du is young, lively and lovely.

In short, each has its own advantages.

A group of girls went out with a huff.

Su Wanru paid attention to Han Zhengying, because only the Han Mansion here is the most intricate and most suitable for Shen Zhan... Such a mansion, if used well, it will be the Thousand Arms of Avalokitesvara, but if it is not used well, it will be the dodder entwined with vines.

She couldn't wait to see Shen Zhan's end.

"Didn't you get scolded last time when you went back?" Han Zhengying was wearing a light purple trousers with a tulle on the outside. It looked like it was going to rain on a cloudy day, so he walked a few steps in a dull manner. There was a thin layer of sweat on her forehead.

She felt bored and a little uneasy.

"No." Su Wanru replied softly: "The old lady has already tipped me, so why would my aunt reprimand me?"

Her smiling eyebrows and eyes are curved, and she looks young and proud.

This appearance and temperament is a bit of a pity. If you were born into a wealthy family, you must become a peerless beauty. Han Zhengying thought about it and smiled: "That's good. I'm afraid that I didn't understand clearly and it would cause trouble for you."

Su Wanru thanked with a smile.

"Go and sit over there." Han Zhengying greeted Ms. Du and Ms. Liu and the others, and sat down in a pavilion. A gust of wind came from nowhere, and instead of feeling comfortable when blowing on people, they were sticky. , It was very uncomfortable, Ms. Du waved her fan and said: "I knew I wouldn't be able to come out, there is still ice in the room anyway."

"Otherwise, let's go to the courtyard at the back." Qing Hong accompanied her, "There is ice in the room over there."

Ms. Du went to see Han Zhengying, as if she couldn't make up her mind.

"The show is about to start, and I was still sweating when I walked there." Han Zhengying also shook her fan slightly. Compared with Miss Du's anxiety, she was much better.

Ms. Liu was still drinking sour plum soup to relieve the heat in a gentle way, but when the bowl of sour plum soup spilled out and spilled on her skirt, Qing Hong and Liu Sanniang waited beside her in a hurry, "Miss Liu is not iced, luckily It's not hot tea, otherwise I really dare not think about it."

"Go change your clothes." Han Zhengying frowned and said, "While there are still people here."

Ms. Liu didn't panic, she nodded and said, "Okay!" She helped her girl to get up, and Ms. Du hurriedly got up and followed, "Sister Liu, let me go with you."

Miss Liu glanced at her, smiled faintly, and said, "Okay!"

The two of them left, and there were still four or five young ladies in the pavilion. Su Wanru was no better than them, so she stood behind the pavilion. After a little incense, Miss Liu came back, but Miss Du disappeared, "...why didn't I come with you?" return?"

"She said she came back first." Ms. Liu looked at Han Zhengying with a strange expression: "He didn't come back?"

Han Zhengying frowned inaudibly, and then said, "I guess I went to play elsewhere. When she gets sweaty from playing, Mrs. Du will definitely punish her."

Everyone laughed in agreement, and a lady Su Wanru didn't know said: "A few days ago, she secretly went fishing in the river, and was punished by Mrs. Du for starving for a whole day, so she came to me and complained..."

Just take this matter lightly, and everyone starts talking about Ms. Du's embarrassing incident.

Liu Sanniang and Su Wanru looked at her, and there was a fleeting look in her eyes. After a while, she saw Miss Du came back with her skirt in her hands. She was really sweaty, and even the embroidered shoes were wet.

Everyone looked at her strangely.
