There was actually another reason why Su Liuyuan agreed to Wang Mei's invitation, and that was Wang Zhen. The last time the two met, Wang Zhen didn't show any strange expression, so what was the reason? Xie Weixing said he would check it for her, but in fact, he could only find the answer to this kind of thing by himself.
Wang Mei is the favored daughter of the Wang family. Like her brother Wang Zhen, she is the darling of heaven. It can be said that the Wang brothers and sisters played a major role in calming down that palace incident. In addition to the emperor's favor, Wang Zhen and Wang Mei are also popular among everyone in the capital based on their personal talents. Being able to make friends with the Wang family has become a matter of pride.
After finishing her makeup, Su Liuyuan took Xiao Yuan out of the small courtyard, and when she looked up, she saw a familiar face.
"Fifth sister."
"This slave has met the eldest young master." Xiao Yuan obediently bowed to Su Huanqing.
"Brother!" I haven't seen Su Huanqing for about half a month, and I didn't expect to see him at this time. "Brother, why did you come home?"
Su Huanqing smiled gently when he heard this: "Yes, I have been traveling south for a while recently. I was in such a hurry that I didn't have time to tell you." After saying that, he looked at Su Liuyuan, his eyes lit up, and he asked, "Fifth sister, what is this?" want to go out?"
She nodded and responded: "Well, the third lady of the Wang family invited me to come over and have a chat."
"Miss Wang?" Su Huanqing thought of that cold and charming face, and her handsome brows wrinkled slightly.
"Well. Brother, where are you going soon?"
"I have nothing to do, so I might as well go with you. It just so happens that Prince Wang and I are good friends."
Su Liuyuan was surprised, but finally nodded.
The two came to Wang's house. The servant recognized Su Huanqing and led them to the main hall of Wang's house. The gardens and flowers in the Wang family residence are more refined and more elegant than those in the Su residence. It can be seen that a lot of effort was put into hiring skilled craftsmen to design them.
"Miss, the Wang family is so big and beautiful!" Xiao Yuan came forward and said softly to Su Liuyuan.
Su Liuyuan nodded but did not speak.
"Brother Su!" At this time, a surprised voice came.
Su Huanqing looked up and said with a smile: "Young Master Zhen, long time no see. How are you?"
"I don't want you to come and take a look if you are sick! What kind of wind brought you here today?" Wang Zhen's slender eyes were bright, and it was obvious that he was very happy that Su Huanqing could come to the house.
"Can't I come to see you?" Su Huanqing said with a helpless smile.
"You don't have to tell me this, I won't believe it!" After saying that, he suddenly saw Su Liuyuan beside him and shouted in surprise, "Fifth Miss!"
When she saw Wang Zhen walking over from afar, Su Liuyuan's heart began to ache again. At this time, his name was called, and he could no longer remain invisible, so he had to stand up, bend his legs and salute: "I have met Mr. Wang."
"Hey, I understand. My sister has made appointments with ladies from various families to come to the house today to enjoy the lotus flowers. You must be here to keep the appointment!" Wang Zhenfeng raised her eyebrows slightly, suddenly realizing.
Su Liuyuan smiled softly, nodded and said, "Exactly."
At this time, a maid walked over quickly, knelt down and saluted several people, and said: "I have seen the second young master, the second young master, and the third young lady heard that Miss Su has arrived, so she sent her slaves over."
Wang Zhen glanced at Su Liuyuan and said with a smile: "I see Third Sister is anxious, Miss Su, please go quickly!"
"Brother, I'll go over first." Su Liuyuan nodded, raised his head and said to Su Huanqing.
"good."
Su Liuyuan took Xiao Yuan and followed the maid through several full moon gates, passed through several courtyards, and came to a long winding corridor. The curved corridor is stretched across the lake. When the wind blows up, the water ripples, which makes people feel happy and fascinated.
Before reaching the end, she heard a burst of ancient music drifting to her ears in the wind. Su Liuyuan asked doubtfully: "Is this played by your young lady?"
"Back to Miss Su, this should be played by Miss Lu." The maid replied obediently.
"Miss Lu Chenxia?" Su Liuyuan was stunned and asked.
"Yes."
Looking at what was written in the invitation, Lotus Appreciation invited many famous ladies this time. However, because her father was demoted, Lu Chenxia originally thought that she would not be invited by Wang Mei. Now that she saw it, it seemed that she was wrong. .
At the end of the winding corridor is a pavilion, and the sound of the piano comes from the upper floor of the pavilion. There were two beautiful maids guarding the entrance of the pavilion, one on the left and one on the right. Both of them were wearing pink round-necked jackets with double-breasted buns on their heads. They were smiling but not showing their teeth.
When the maid guarding the door of the attic saw Su Liuyuan, she bent her knees and saluted and asked, "Are you the fifth young lady of the Su family?"
"Exactly."
"Please follow me, slave." After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.
"Slow down." Su Liuyuan shook her head and said, "Let's go up after Miss Lu finishes one of her songs!"
Several maids looked at each other, and then the maid who led the way stood up and said: "Sisters, just do what Miss Su said!"
"Yes." The other two maids nodded.
Although there are already more than a dozen people standing or sitting in the attic, the space is still very spacious. The one who came up was not the owner, Wang Mei, but a lady with a gold walking stick on her head, a peony printed brocade, and a kind expression.
Wang Mei was sitting on the lower right side of the main seat, listening to the lady commenting on Lu Chenxia's piano.
"It is said that the Fourth Miss of the Su family has unparalleled piano skills. Although I did not invite the Fourth Miss Su this time, I did invite her younger sister, the Fifth Miss Su." After saying this, his eyes turned to Su Liuyuan who had just entered the room.
Su Liuyuan frowned slightly. The invitation clearly stated that it was Wang Mei, so why was she invited
"Miss, she is the mistress of the Wang family." While she was thinking, a voice came to her ears softly. Su Liuyuan suddenly looked sideways in surprise, but Xiao Yuan did not move at all, still standing obediently. Beside yourself.
She calmed down slightly, lowered her head and walked in. She bowed to the lady and said, "Liuyuan wishes Madam Wang good health and long life."
"Haha, it seems that you and I have never met. How do you know that I am Mrs. Wang?" Mrs. Wang asked interestingly.
Su Liuyuan said slowly: "Liuyuan has heard of Mrs. Wang's name a long time ago. They say that Madam, you are born with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. You also have a heart of a Bodhisattva. You also like to deal with others. You are generous and cheerful. Everyone from all walks of life admires Madam. Youjia, Liuyuan guesses that you are the head mistress of the Wang family."
"Haha, I heard from them that you are not only good at swordsmanship, but also good at arithmetic. Even Mr. Baili praised you, but I didn't expect that your articulation is also so smart!" Mrs. Wang said with a hearty smile.
"Thank you, madam." Su Liuyuan bowed and replied.
At this time, Wang Mei stepped forward and bowed her head expressionlessly. Su Liuyuan quickly helped her up and blurted out: "Miss Wang, you can't do this!"
"My mother sent you a request for advice in my name, but I didn't explain it to you. It was my fault. You deserve this gift."
When Wang Mei spoke, her Juechen face was still cold, but the warmth in her eyes was captured by Su Liuyuan.
She is really an awkward young lady! Su Liuyuan smiled slightly and said to her: "Nothing. The injury Liuyuan suffered some time ago has improved a lot recently. It's good to go out and get to know various ladies."
With this explanation, other ladies here must be able to understand. Su Liuyuan thought to herself.
"Is Sister Su injured because she saved the emperor?" Lu Chenxia approached and looked at Su Liuyuan, as if to see where she was injured.
