After the eldest princess of Sheng'an introduced her family to Su Rong, she took her to introduce the ladies of various houses present. She was as kind as a grandmother introducing her granddaughter, and asked everyone to take more care of Xiao Qi in the future.
The ladies were very shocked, but what is the identity of Princess Sheng'an? Naturally, they are all very considerate. None of the ladies sitting here are fools. Princess Qingping brought people here, Princess Ruian gave her a very generous greeting gift, and the people in the Protector's Palace treated her like a junior in their own family. This is what any young concubine from a small place would expect. A rare treat.
What's even more surprising is that Su Rong is neither humble nor arrogant, and is polite and polite. She doesn't feel any secret joy at being supported and protected, nor does she feel any embarrassment about letting go. She handles it calmly. Compared with many boudoir ladies, she is more than indifferent. Not bad, and even better.
After this incident, the story about Su Xu's goddaughter being incompetent and Su Rong being ill-bred was broken, as Mr. Liu had done in the morning. It's simply a slander. No wonder Princess Qingping would go to Zhezi to defend Su Rong in anger, and Mr. Liu would be dismissed from office.
After getting to know all the ladies, Princess Sheng'an let go of Su Rong with a smile, "You little sisters, go play!"
Princess Ruian called Xie Ying, the fourth young lady in the palace who had not left the palace, to her, introduced Su Rong, and then smiled and told Xie Yuan, "You go play with all the ladies, and be sure to take good care of her."
Xie Ying accepted the order, "Don't worry, mother and concubine."
So, Xie Ying led Duan Hua, Su Rong, Zhou Yun, and all the ladies out of the living room and took them to the back garden.
Everywhere in Prince Ruian's Mansion is very exquisite. The servants in the palace perform their duties and receive guests in an orderly manner. Xie Ying leads people to the garden pavilion, "Let's go to the Osmanthus Garden? My brother is taking me to the Jasmine Garden." The young masters have taken advantage of it."
The girls nodded.
Duan Hua's friendship with Xie Ying was fairly good, so he teased her with a smile, "You dare to take us to the Osmanthus Garden, aren't you afraid that I will pick all the osmanthus flowers in your house to make osmanthus cakes?"
Xie Ying covered her mouth and smiled, "Osmanthus flowers are not valuable. If you want to make osmanthus cakes, just pick them as you like. My mother-in-law will definitely not feel bad."
Duan Hua thought about it. Daliang attaches great importance to the Mid-Autumn Festival. Almost every house has a osmanthus tree. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, people eat moon cakes and admire the moon under the osmanthus tree. Osmanthus flowers are really not uncommon. They are not like the nine-month chrysanthemums of the eldest prince. , is a good variety for treasures.
Duan Hua said unconvinced, "What about jasmine flowers?" She turned to Su Rong and asked, "Can jasmine flowers be used to make tea?"
Su Rong coughed, "Can you?"
Duanhua heard this and said to Xie Ying, "What if I go pick jasmine flowers?"
Xie Ying still smiled, "The jasmine garden in our house is for scenting. It is not a precious variety. Even if you pick all of it, my mother-in-law will not feel bad. What's more, we also use it to make some jasmine flowers at home. You don’t have to pick the tea yourself. If you want to drink it, I’ll give you a few jars later.”
Duan Hua chuckled, "Okay."
After picking the eldest princess's chrysanthemums, she has been partial to all kinds of scented tea ever since. Whenever I see flowers, I first think about whether I can make tea.
The group of people walked towards the Osmanthus Garden and passed the Jasmine Garden, hearing the excitement inside.
All the girls turned their heads to take a look and saw many young gentlemen sitting or standing in the Jasmine Garden. After Xie Lin sent Fengling away, he did not go out to pick up the guests. Instead, he accompanied Xie Lin and introduced him one by one.
Su Rong caught sight of Zhou Gu at a glance. He was sitting crookedly against the pillars of the pavilion, showing a sense of laziness. There was a young man approaching him and talking to him. He didn't know what the young man said. , but seeing Zhou Gu nodding his head and hearing countless footsteps passing by the door, he didn't turn his head to take a look.
Many young men were afraid of being rude to the passing ladies or those who were making trouble, so they restrained their movements.
The girls quickly walked over, and the Jasmine Garden became lively again.
One of the young men asked Xie Lin, "Brother Xie, is that very beautiful woman wearing a light green dress the same as Miss Su Qi?"
Xie Lin nodded, "Yes, it's Miss Su Qi."
Hearing this, the young master looked towards Zhou Gu and wanted to say something, but Zhou Gu stopped him again.
The fifth son of Duke Chengguo has not yet married, and he is a pretty woman, even more beautiful than the prince Lu Weiran.
Two years younger, his name was Lu Xuecheng. He walked up to Zhou Gu and said to Consultant Zhou, "Brother Zhou, you and Miss Su Qi have broken off your engagement, right?"
Zhou Gu raised his eyelids and glanced at him, saying "hmm".
Lu Xuecheng rubbed his hands, "Since you have broken off the engagement, can I come to propose marriage?"
Zhou Gu narrowed his eyes and said, "Do it yourself."
Lu Xuecheng was happy, "I will come to propose marriage tomorrow."
Fengling rolled her eyes as she listened. This stinky guy still wants to propose marriage to his master? Without looking in the mirror, he immediately walked over and put his arm around Lu Xuecheng's shoulders, "Brother Lu, I am a younger brother right here. Why are you asking Young Master Zhou so much as to be far away from you? Just ask me. About my sister's marriage. , I can also help you answer a question."
Lu Xuecheng quickly turned his head, "Huh? Brother Feng, yes, you are Miss Su Qi's younger brother. I forgot about you. Please tell me."
Feng Ling clapped her fingers and said, "My sister likes those who are tall, that's one thing. My sister likes those with broad shoulders, narrow waists, and well-proportioned bodies, and she doesn't like those who are too fat, too strong, and too dark, that's the second thing. My sister likes people who are rich. It is best if her private money can start at a hundred thousand taels, which is the third one. My sister likes people who are knowledgeable. Not to mention their talents and fame in the capital, they must also speak well and write poems. , is the fourth. My sister likes people with good tempers, good personalities, not lecherous, and no concubines in the house, which is the fifth."
He said five things in one breath, and seeing Lu Xuecheng dumbfounded, he sighed, "I will tell you briefly, and of course there is also, Fifth Brother Lu, can you do it? If you can't do it, I advise you to Don't come, otherwise my sister will definitely kick you out. Although she is beautiful, she is not soft-hearted, lest you become a joke."
Lu Xuecheng couldn't say anything that could be done, "You, you are not playing tricks on me, are you?"
"How could it be?" Fengling said in a low voice, "Do you know why my sister broke off Young Master Zhou's engagement? That's because he has one failing. He has a bad temper."
Lu Xuecheng opened his eyes wide and compared his five items with Zhou Gu one by one. It was true that only one of them had a bad temper, while Zhou Gu was all right with the rest. Although one hundred thousand taels of private money is a lot of money, Zhou Gu is favored and the private treasury accumulated since childhood should be very thick, and he can probably get it out.
He immediately hesitated, "Well, forget it."
No matter how beautiful the person is, he can't fulfill these requirements.
He is not stupid, and he will not think about ways to get Su Rongzhi like Ning Ze. After all, he was the one who was able to get rid of Zhou Gu's marriage and let Princess Qingping go to Zhezi to defend him. How could he be able to plot just this.
