Su Wan felt that Su Ruo's plum appreciation party was a bit strange.
If those princesses held some kind of party, the ladies and ladies of the imperial city would definitely join in one by one, eager to have this glory, but Su Ruo, the second lady of a run-down prince's mansion, held some kind of plum appreciation party, and what was the use of it?
Not only is it time-consuming, labor-intensive and money-consuming, but there is no way to invite any noble lady to come, and there is not enough profit motivation, who is willing to go out in the wind and snow in this winter?
Even if you can invite some people, it still costs face, and sometimes there are only so many face things, and they are gone after they are used up. According to the current situation of Pingbaihou Mansion, Su Ruo has a few He is a good friend, but he should spend his face and affection wisely instead of holding such a plum appreciation party.
Su Ruo is not a stupid person, and naturally he will not do such stupid things, so there must be something profitable in this.
So what is she planning? !
Su Wan couldn't figure out what Su Ruo was planning, but that didn't stop her from being more vigilant. She asked Xiao Sang to call Hui Feng over, talk to him about the matter, and ask him to tell Li Lin to arrange for the two to be together. Personal protection in secret.
It's not that she doesn't want to believe Wang and Su Xun, it's just that she wants people from Wang and Su Xun. In front of Wang, she still has to explain why she doubts Su Ruo. It's because Su Ruo himself has doubts. Wang may not believe her.
If Ms. Wang didn't believe it, she would definitely be unhappy that she suspected her sisters. If she did, Ms. Wang would probably feel uncomfortable knowing that her sisters were plotting against each other.
Moreover, Su Wan only had suspicions in her heart, and she didn't know whether it was true or not. If she asked Wang for someone, it didn't happen. If Su Ruo really wanted to invite her and Murong Xian to attend the plum appreciation party to connect with each other, she showed up in front of Wang. It's definitely not going well.
As for Su Xun, if you tell him this, regardless of whether it is true or not, he will probably jump up and go to Su Ruo to settle the score first.
After much deliberation, she found that Li Lin was the most suitable person. She could trust Li Lin's people, and their abilities were not comparable to Su Xun's. They could also avoid people in the house, no matter whether things would turn out as she expected. Like that, she can keep it here, so that the elders in the family don't have to worry.
She wanted to hire people, so Li Lin naturally had no problem with it. He arranged to go out with her on the day of return, and sent a few people to hide in the dark to protect her.
Su Wan was relieved after hearing the news about Li Lin.
Murong Xian breathed a sigh of relief when she learned that Su Wan was going to Pingbaihou Mansion with her, and then came to discuss with Su Wan about what to wear that day. Since it was a plum appreciation party, she needed to get some sense of the plum blossoms.
Su Wan was having nothing to do that day, discussing the wedding dress with Madam Zhang. Murong Xian did not avoid it when she came, and let her in generously and found a place to sit down.
Murong Xian glanced at it and couldn't take his eyes away immediately. The bright red wedding dress, the patterns on it were exquisite and beautiful, the splendid universe, gently swaying like a stream of light, very beautiful and dazzling.
"This wedding dress is really nice. I've never seen the fabric it's made of."
There was a smile in Su Wan's eyes: "Master Li ordered someone to send it here. I don't know the details. It is said that it is rare and good fabric, so that's all."
Murong Xian laughed when he heard this: "It's great that Mr. Li is so caring about you."
Madam Zhang next to her was filled with joy when she heard this: "My young master is naturally interested in the princess. No, he just doesn't trust others. He invited me all the way to make the princess's wedding dress, for fear of others. I didn’t do well and I have wronged the princess.”
Mrs. Zhang was originally an orphan and was raised in a charity hall. She practiced embroidery skills well when she was young and joined the Li family as an embroiderer. Later, she married a steward.
Speaking of which, she has been making clothes for the Li family all her life.
However, the host's family is kind. She lives a worry-free life and has some savings. She is extremely content to have children throughout her life.
She also hoped that after the young master married the princess, he would be harmonious and beautiful, and give birth to the next generation of the Li family as soon as possible. In the eyes of those who left the city, as long as the Li family was stable, they would be able to live a safe and worry-free life.
Murong Xian didn't know that there was such a thing. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, with a bit of envy in his eyes. However, he was only envious for a moment and put the matter behind him. Her own was not bad, and there was no need to envy others.
"Your young master is interested."
Madam Zhang smiled and said: "Of course, my young master has put a lot of effort into it. He is eager to send everything good to the princess."
Murong Xian sat down: "I came here today, but I have one thing to ask you. What kind of clothes should I wear on the day of the plum blossom appreciation party?"
Su Wan thought for a while and then said: "Sister-in-law is newly married, so she should wear something festive. Red is the most suitable. I will wear cyan here. I happen to have a green-bottomed winter coat with winter plum blossoms and a green-bottomed red plum. The cloak, coupled with a plum blossom hairpin, is simple and elegant, which is more suitable."
"Sister-in-law wears red to make her look more beautiful and festive, while plum blossoms in the cold season also make her proud and elegant."
Murong Xian nodded and thought it made sense: "That's fine, I'll just wear red."
After the two of them discussed what to wear, Murong Xian said goodbye and left. On the day of the plum blossom appreciation party, the two of them left the house dressed in red and green, and rode a carriage through the winter snow to Pingbaihou Mansion.
The bride is young and beautiful, with a bit of sharpness between her eyebrows, and a bit of the proud demeanor of a cold winter plum. The girl is elegant and gentle, like a white plum blooming silently in the winter, with a leisurely elegance and a secret fragrance. Come.
When they got off the carriage, they saw Su Ruo standing at the door to greet them. She was wearing a rabbit fur cloak and was holding an umbrella by the maid next to her. When she saw Murong Xian and Su Wan getting off the carriage, they revealed their He greeted me quickly with a sincere smile.
"Sister-in-law and sixth sister are here."
Murong Xian nodded, smiled and was given a gift: "Since my eldest sister has invited me, why don't you give me a gift? I happen to have a jar of plum blossom wine brewed last year, and I brought it over to drink with everyone. Pour two glasses."
Su Wan smiled and said, "I don't have any plum blossom wine here, but I learned the skill of making desserts from my cousin Wang's family, and she made some plum blossom cakes. My sister-in-law's wine goes well with these plum blossom cakes."
Su Ruo smiled broadly: "You are thoughtful and come with me to the mansion as soon as possible. Sixth sister mentioned that your cousin from the Wang family came earlier than you and is already in the mansion now."
Su Wan said with a smile: "That's just right. I haven't seen my cousin for a while, but my cousin is here. I'm afraid my plum blossom cake won't be of use."
"Why can't it be used? If others don't eat it, my eldest sister will definitely support it."
Su Wan looked at Su Ruo's smiling face and smiled falsely: "Thank you very much, sister."
