Su Wan counted the time and made an appointment with Wang Weixi to go to Furong Garden, followed by two sturdy women who helped carry the peony screen.
When the two came, Furong Garden was bustling with activity, and laughter could be heard coming from the house from time to time.
"Princess Wenxiao has arrived——"
"The Wang family's cousin has arrived——"
Someone came out of the house and invited him into the house politely.
When Su Wan and Wang Weixi came in, several girls and ladies were talking in Su Fu's boudoir. Many things in her room had been packed into boxes, which looked a little empty.
"The princess is well."
"The princess is well."
When some people saw Su Wan coming in, they stood up and saluted. When some people nearby saw him, they also saluted.
"No need to be polite. Today there is only A-Wan of the Su family here, but there is no princess, several elders and sisters of A-Wan, how can A-Wan accept your courtesy?"
Su Fu sat on the edge of the canopy bed, her whole body sunken into the soft and festive quilt. When she saw Su Wan talking to these people with a smile, she felt coldly hypocritical in her heart, and her face did not look good.
Su Fu was looking forward to adding makeup today, thinking that she was going to marry Zhao Mingyan, and in the future she would be the third young lady of Prince Zhao's Palace. These ladies and girls in the imperial city would definitely please and flatter her, but Unexpectedly, none of the people she expected came.
The people who came today are, firstly, Yang's natal family, that is, the wives and girls from her maternal grandfather's family, and secondly, the wives and girls of the generals who served under Gong Jinning in the past. Eye stuff.
Because on the day of Yang's birthday party, Su Ruo revealed that Su Fu had robbed Su Wan of her marriage, all the rich ladies of the imperial city had cut off contact with her. Although it was such a big day, they were unwilling to do so. Make her face.
For these noble girls who want to save face, stealing someone else's marriage, and it is also the marriage of their own sister, is a person of low moral character and not a person to be friends with.
Who knows when she might stab someone.
Besides, she is not our legitimate daughter, and she does not have to serve you Su Fu to live her life. She is just the third young lady of Prince Zhao's Palace. With the Crown Prince's wife here, it is not her turn to make the decision in Prince Zhao's Palace.
So today, except for a few low-status people who wanted to serve Su Fu, none of the rich ladies of the imperial city came as if they had made an appointment.
A lady nearby laughed when she heard this and said to Su Wan: "There is a way and a courtesy that cannot be discarded. Although the princess respects us, we cannot make it difficult for the princess!"
"No."
"The princess also came to add makeup to the fourth girl?"
Su Wan nodded, then looked at Yang and Su Fu. Su Fu turned his head away from her with a cold face, while Yang smiled and said, "It's A Wan who is here to give your fourth sister a gift." Put on your makeup, I’ll thank you for your fourth sister.”
After all, Ms. Yang is not that stupid anymore. Although she doesn't like Su Wan in her heart, she will not lose face to Su Wan today.
Speaking of what happened today, it also made Ms. Yang painful. This morning, Ms. Yang began to prepare all kinds of food and wait for these little sisters to come to add makeup to Su Fu, but after waiting, no guests came.
For this reason, Yang was very dissatisfied. After all, it was the dignified Duke Ning of Jinning, but these people dared not give him any face.
Yang thought to herself that she would go to Wang's place soon so that Wang could invite some people to come to Su Fu's house to put makeup on Su Fu's face, so that others would not talk about it in the future and the world would think that Su Fu had been ostracized by the sisters. When she got married, no one came to add makeup, and she became the laughing stock of the whole city.
Su Wan nodded: "Today, my cousin from the Wang family and I are here to add makeup to the fourth sister."
Su Wan ordered someone to bring the screen in: "I learned that the fourth sister especially loves peonies, so I asked a master painter to make a peony picture and a craftsman to make the screen. I hope the fourth sister likes it."
When everyone looked at the screen and the peony picture, the peony picture was vividly drawn and the colors were bright. The beauty of the flourishing age almost burned people's eyes, and the wood looked not ordinary, but a thoughtful gift. .
There was finally a smile on Yang's face: "Ah Wan has taken care of your fourth sister."
After all, it is a decent gift. Although it is not extremely rare, it is a big one and it is not embarrassing when it is carried out. It is much better than these embroidery and cloth pieces.
Su Wan said: "The fourth sister is getting married, which is a major event in the house. How can I not worry about it?"
Try your best to spend less money!
Su Fu felt that the person in front of her was extremely hypocritical, and was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She said coldly: "There is no need for you to be so kind, Su Wan, you are here to see my joke today, right?!"
Su Fu originally felt uncomfortable about adding makeup. Seeing Su Wan's hypocritical look, she just felt that she was laughing at herself. A surge of anger rushed to Tianling Gai, and she couldn't control herself and said such words.
But as soon as these words came out, the room fell silent, and the ladies and girls beside them looked a little bad.
Su Fu later realized that something was wrong, but she was unwilling to bow her head and apologize to Su Wan. She snorted lightly and then turned away.
Yang moved her lips, and then said after a while: "Your fourth sister is angry because several friends she had made in the past didn't come, and she also spoke a little irritably, but she didn't mean it to you. You also know that you Fourth sister has this temper, she is just like this, you must not argue with her."
Su Wan said: "I understand."
Wang Weixi hurriedly stepped forward and ordered her maid Hairpin to bring the prepared gifts. She said: "Weixi has nothing to give to my cousin. Knowing that my cousin likes peonies, I embroidered a picture of peonies for my cousin. I hope my cousin will Can like it.”
With that said, Hairpin ordered someone to unfold the peony picture, and there was a beautiful peony picture on it. The peonies on it were also extremely delicate and beautiful. Every stitch and every stitch was clearly made with care.
Wang Weixi didn't have much money on hand, so she was naturally willing to do embroidery instead. Although she didn't sleep well for five or six days because of this peony painting, she felt that everything was worth it.
Although Su Fu didn't want to see her, Wang treated her well. Su Fu was Wang's granddaughter. If she couldn't even come up with something decent to add makeup, wouldn't she be sorry to Wang?
But she didn't have the ability to buy those treasures that cost seven to eight hundred thousand taels of silver. She didn't have much silver on hand, so she couldn't spend it all at once. Fortunately, she still had embroidery skills, so even this peony painting It's not bad even if it's framed and hung.
It was not in vain that she had endured these days.
"Hey! This embroidery is really good. It's rare for someone to embroider peonies so beautifully!"
"No, the layers are clear, and the petals are also layered on top of each other. There are some tiny filaments on the petals, which look like they are alive. Now it's better. We don't have to wait for the season. We can enjoy the flowers now! "
