The group of people followed Su Ruo into the gate of Pingbaihou Mansion. When they entered the second gate, the guards who came with them were invited to a side room to drink tea. Su Wan looked back and saw Hui Feng bowing his hands to her in salute. , and then left with the people.
She looked away and continued walking forward.
Seeing Su Wan's eyes falling on the guard, Su Ruo was slightly surprised: "This is Liu Mei's guard, but he is a very well-born young man. I wonder if it was arranged by Third Uncle for Liu Mei?"
Hui Feng is not old, he is only eighteen years old this year, and his appearance is also handsome. If he puts on the splendid clothes, he will be no worse than the young masters in the Imperial City.
"When I saw Sixth Sister leaving, I had to take a look at her. I thought about it. It turned out that I was attracted to such a young man~" Su Ruo smiled gently, seeming to be teasing Su Wan.
Murong Xian at the side was stunned when she heard this, and then her face turned a little dark. She said: "I'm afraid my sister is wrong. The princess just wanted to give instructions to the guard. Why did she become so concerned about you when she got here?" A guard."
She didn't know whether Su Ruo did it intentionally or not. If it was unintentional, that would be fine. If it was intentional, it would be a bit cruel.
If this word spreads, and there is a guard who is always with him, then Su Wan won't be able to wash it off even if he jumps into the water.
Su Wan shook Murong Xian's hand and said with a smile: "Sister, you are right. I really need to pay more attention to this person. This guard is none other than the one my future husband-in-law placed beside me. He is afraid that I will I have been wronged, and I have to tell his son through him."
Su Ruo froze slightly. She originally wanted to persuade Su Wan that Li Lin was not worthy. There were many handsome young masters around her, but she didn't expect that it was Li Lin who arranged it.
If it were someone else, it might be possible to have something with Su Wan, but if it were Li Lin's people, it would definitely be impossible. Who dares to pry into the master's corner? I'm not tired of living.
Su Ruo finally regained her stiff expression, and then said: "We haven't even gotten married yet, so Mr. Li sent someone to Liu Mei's side. I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
Murong Xiandao: "What's wrong? We are getting married in March next year. There are still so many things to be done between the two families. It is much more convenient to have someone in the middle to handle things. Your eldest brother and I were preparing for the marriage earlier." At that time, several people were sent specifically to move between the two mansions."
When Su Ruo heard this, she didn't know what to say. She just smiled falsely and said, "Sister-in-law and Sixth Sister have a really good relationship."
Murong Xian nodded: "Of course, before I left the court, Ah Wan was my best friend, and now she has become my sister-in-law, so naturally it's good."
Su Ruo asked for trouble and stopped talking at the moment. He just smiled and welcomed the person in.
Su Wan and Murong Xian looked at each other and winked at her.
After this experience, Murong Xian probably understood what kind of person Su Ruo was, a very thoughtful person.
The group walked through the winding road and arrived at the plum garden of Pingbaihou Mansion.
Although the Pingbaihou Mansion has fallen into decline, it was once rich and noble. Although the mansion is not as good as the current Jinning Palace, it is not small. There are more than a dozen large and small courtyards. The Pingbaihou Mansion is also a face-saving person. , are all well taken care of, especially the plum trees in this yard, which are growing extremely well.
When it comes to which mansion has the best plum garden in this imperial city, Pingbaihou Mansion is also at the top.
When the three of them arrived, there were already several young ladies making tea in the courtyard pavilion. Wang Weixi sat among the crowd and chatted with them about making snacks with a faint smile.
She was wearing a blue dress and a blue plum velvet flower on her head. The bride was young and beautiful, and she looked as delicate as the flowers in the forest.
Su Ruo smiled and shouted to the people in the pavilion: "Look, who I brought here."
Several people turned their heads, and then showed expressions of surprise: "It turns out to be your eldest sister-in-law and my sister."
After saying that, several people suddenly remembered that Su Wan was a titled princess, and then they all stood up and saluted: "Princess Wen Xiao is well."
Su Wan smiled and said, "Hello, sisters-in-law. Today I am here as a guest. I am your eldest sister's sister. Sisters-in-law, you don't have to be polite."
Everyone laughed and said, "The etiquette cannot be discarded."
"you do not say."
After all, there is a difference in status, and it doesn't mean that they don't use it if they don't need it. It's one thing if the other party doesn't care. If they are really not polite, it would be rude.
Su Wan glanced over and felt confident. Su Ruo didn't invite anyone to this plum appreciation party. He only invited five or six ladies in total. Two of them were relatives of Pingbaihou Mansion, and several of them were Wei is someone who often interacts with Su Ruozao.
This plum appreciation party is said to be a plum appreciation party, but in fact it is just a small gathering.
As soon as Su Wan and Murong Xian arrived, they immediately became the center of attention. They hurriedly gave up the best seats and gave them a cup of hot tea to ward off the cold.
Su Ruo sat down with a slight smile, and then said a few words, to the general effect of thanking everyone for coming today. Please forgive me if there is any lack of hospitality.
The people next to her were busy saying a few words to praise her.
Su Wan and Murong Xian sat down together. Sitting next to her was Wang Weixi. Wang Weixi was quite happy to see Su Wan. She was not familiar with Murong Xian, so after saying a few greetings, she started talking to Su Wan. .
Wang Weixiao had a gentle smile on her face: "I haven't seen you for a long time, Princess. She is doing well these days."
Su Wan said: "It's okay. Is your cousin okay at Du's house?"
Wang Weixi's face turned a little bright red and she whispered, "It's pretty good."
Wang Weixi's life was indeed good. Du Songling looked a little cold on her face, but he was indeed nice to her. Besides, her father-in-law and mother-in-law were not around, so it was natural that they could not be more comfortable living together as a couple.
Su Wan said: "Grandma has been thinking about you. She is relieved to know that my cousin is doing well."
Wang Weixi thought of Mrs. Wang and was moved again: "My aunt treated me well, I will remember it in my heart. In a few days, when my husband is free, I will go with my husband to visit my aunt."
Su Wan said: "If my cousin comes, my grandmother will definitely be happy."
The two of them talked in detail, and the food prepared by Pingbaihou Mansion was placed on the table, as well as the food brought by the guests. The snacks made by Wang Weixi were naturally loved by everyone.
Su Ruo ordered someone to open the Murongxian plum blossom wine, saying that he wanted to taste it with everyone. The light red wine fell into the cup, and the faint smell of the wine spread out with the fragrance of plum blossoms. The smell made people want to take a sip.
At this moment, the maid standing behind Murong Xian holding the wine glass shook her hand and poured the glass of wine on Murong Xian's neck.
Murong Xian was stunned for a moment by the bone-chilling chill.
The maid was startled, and she knelt down and begged for mercy: "Young lady, please forgive me, I didn't do it on purpose!"
