Su Yan was still thinking about the old lady that night, but the next morning, Su Yan heard a bad news from Su Jian.
"I heard my aunt said that it seems that the second and third uncles just came back and don't seem to plan to leave."
Su Yan frowned: "What's going on?" It didn't happen like this in her previous life. The second master and the third master went back after celebrating the old lady's birthday, so Su Yan wanted to let the old lady follow them to serve as Anxiang old age.
Su Jian then told Su Yan about the matter. Uncle An Jing drank late with the second and third masters last night. Uncle An Jing helps to move around. The third master is similar, showing his willingness to expand his business to the capital. Uncle An Jing was a reckless person, and he agreed at the time with the help of alcohol, but he regretted it after he sobered up at night.
Because I stayed at Aunt Wang's place at night, I chatted with Aunt Wang a few words.
Su Yan immediately understood that in her previous life, Uncle An Jing was not very capable and would cause trouble. These two uncles must want to avoid him. But it's different now, the two of them don't know the inside story, they must think that Uncle An Jing really got Prince Yan's favor, and it's normal to want to rely on Uncle An Jing to get promoted and make a fortune.
But this gave Su Yan a headache.
In the next few days, the second and third wives were unusually silent, but Su Xi would come to Su Yan's place to sit for a while every day, talking about irrelevant household matters. The two concubine daughters of the second room have always stayed behind closed doors, and they can only be seen when they go to pay their respects to the old lady in the morning.
But it is worth mentioning that Su Jing entered the Imperial College under the recommendation of Prince Yan. When Uncle An Jing heard the news, his old face was filled with joy, and he immediately forgot about the Fourth Prince, and couldn't wait to go to Prince Yan's mansion to show his loyalty, and began to hug Prince Yan's thigh wholeheartedly. .
Su Yan also heard that because of the fact that Su Jing entered the Imperial College, Bo An Jing took the second master and the third master to invite his colleagues out for drinks and dinners every day. I almost forgot about it.
But Su Yan can figure it out with a strand of hair, the money for the dinner must be paid by the second master or the third master.
This day Su Yan went to the banquet held by Marquis of Weiyuan. At the banquet, Sun Xiruo said that he wanted to hold a banquet in the future and invited everyone present. For some reason, Sun Xiruo specifically asked Su Yan if he would go.
In front of so many people, how could Su Yan refuse, she just smiled and said that she would definitely be there on time. No, when I got home, I received a post from Sun Xiruo.
In fact, Su Yan didn't want to go, let alone that she and Sun Xiruo had no friendship, the only time they met Sun Xiruo left a particularly bad impression on her.
It's just that Su Yan agreed in front of everyone, it's not good not to go, so she can only reply to Sun Xiruo's post, saying that she will definitely go to the banquet on time.
As soon as Caixia went out to send the reply post, Su Xi came over. Because Su Xi and Su Yan had been in contact with each other a lot in the past two days, the two became familiar with each other. As soon as they entered the house, Su Xi smiled at Su Yan: "I met Caixia on the road. I heard she said that the daughter of Sun Shangshu's mansion sent a message to my sister?"
Su Yan put down the embroidery needle in her hand, and smiled at Su Xi: "Yes, the daughter of Shangshu Sun's mansion invited me to a flower banquet, and asked Caixia to reply to the post." After two days of observation, Su Yan It can be seen that this is a scheming person, but there is no quarrel between Su Yan and her, and she was deliberately indifferent to her that day just to see what she wanted to do.
It is better to have one more friend than one more enemy, so Su Yan treats Su Xi like ordinary cousins now, and she just doesn't know about Su Xi's little thoughts.
Su Xi's eyes lit up, calculating in his eyes, but he sighed with pretended disappointment on his face: "Speaking of which, I used to be with Miss Sun when I was still in the capital, but I have been away from Beijing for so many years, not to mention Miss Sun, even The handkerchiefs I had in those days gradually lost contact, and now that I’m back in Beijing, I don’t even have a single friend I can keep in touch with.”
The meaning of these words is very obvious.
Su Yan glanced at Su Xi, since she brought it up, she just took it as a favor: "Second sister, if you feel bored, come with me, maybe you can meet old acquaintances."
It's just an ordinary banquet.
Su Xi was very satisfied with Su Yan's answer, but she still pretended to be reserved and said: "Miss Sun didn't post me a post, so it's not good for me to rush in like this?"
"Second sister, don't worry."
Su Yan pretended to persuade Su Xi a few words, Su Xi followed the trend, but she was happy in her heart.
She didn't know the twists and turns in this matter, but felt that Sun Xiruo's status was neither low nor high, which was just right for her to show off. She doesn't want to go to the flower banquet organized by people with too low status, she thinks it's meaningless, like Su Yan attended the banquet of Weiyuan Marquis today, Su Xi never even thought about going, in front of those proud girls, She didn't want to be in the limelight at all and be regarded as a bird in the limelight.
Su Xi asked Su Yan again to find out who would be there that day, silently wrote down these names in her heart, and planned to investigate after going back.
After Su Xi left, Cai Xia also came back. As soon as Cai Xia came back, she went to change into clean clothes, and said to Su Yan: "Do you think it's strange? The servant girl met the second girl on the way, she stopped the servant girl Don't let me go, Miss Sun's name is clearly written on the post, but the second girl insists on asking who the post in the servant's hand is for."
strange? Not at all strange.
Su Yan smiled: "If she doesn't ask you, how can she find something to say to me?"
Cai Xia was very smart, she understood it all at once, and smiled. She saw that the second girl was shrewd before, but now it seems that the second girl is only superficially shrewd.
Su Yan took out the letter she had written long ago from under the tablecloth, sealed it with wax and handed it to Caixia: "You can take this letter to Ning'er in a while, and ask her to send it to Baiweitang tomorrow, and find a way to give it to Caixia." He sent it."
"Yes." Cai Xia went immediately, she knew who the letter was from her master without thinking about it.
Su Yan was even more melancholy. She turned around and took out the letter from Chu Yan that she received that day. Looking through the letter paper, she seemed to be able to see the thin figure.
I don't know how long it will take for this letter to be delivered to Chu Yan.
Not far away in Luoying Courtyard, Su Rong sat in front of the dressing table of the eldest lady, looking at herself in the mirror with heavy makeup, her mouth curled into a creepy curve.
"Mother, don't worry, after I get rid of Su Yan, an eyesore, I will get rid of Aunt Wang to avenge you."
So far, Su Rong still firmly believes that the person who framed the eldest lady was Aunt Wang.
