In the second year of Yongzhao, Xingyuan Mansion was established.
The juniors of the Su family were all in the old lady's room, chatting and amusing with the old lady.
It's a pity that the old lady was always a little absent-minded today. After saying a few words, she gave instructions to the grandmother who had been serving her for many years,
"Send someone to go outside and take a look. Why hasn't Ning'er arrived yet?"
With joy on her face, Mammy said, "Don't worry, old lady. We have already sent people to wait at the city gate. They will come back to report as soon as they see the carriage."
A little girl of twelve or thirteen years old giggled and said, "Although my eldest sister did not grow up in the Su Mansion, she is still loved by my grandmother the most."
"You're a jealous little person, and you're jealous of your sister. Grandma treats you all the same."
The old lady spoke lovingly to the little girl, and then sighed,
"Well, Ning'er was sent to the nunnery when she was three years old. I think about it every day, fearing that I will never see her again in this life."
A lady dressed in luxurious clothes consoled her, "What are you talking about? Ning'er will be back soon. Mom, you are in good health. You will definitely live a long life."
"Young third brother, please stop comforting me. Ning'er is your biological daughter. You must have missed her more closely than me over the years."
The lady choked for a moment, then smiled in response.
At this time, a maid finally came back to report that the young man saw the third master's carriage entering the city.
The room became a little noisy for a while, and everyone couldn't help but start talking.
Although the Su family in Xingyuan Mansion only has three bedrooms in the Su family, there are also a lot of people. The wife, aunts, legitimate children and concubines are all gathered here, just because the old lady is happy to hear that her eldest granddaughter is coming back.
In such an ancient world where filial piety was highly valued, no junior dared to disobey the old lady.
Horse hooves clattered on the bluestone road, and a pair of hands like white jade lifted the curtain of the car window, revealing a gap to look out.
"This is my first time coming to Xingyuan Mansion. It is indeed different from the capital city." The woman said with some emotion, her voice as clear as a clear spring in the mountains.
"Xingyuan is the border after all, and it cannot be as prosperous as the capital city." The middle-aged man on the carriage replied, it was the third master of the Su family that everyone was talking about just now.
The woman did not answer the call. The Su family was also from the capital, and she was from the Xuanning Marquis Mansion, but she came to Xingyuan Mansion after being sent to serve as an official. She was stating the facts rather than being self-effacing, so there was no need for her to say anything.
"By the way, tell me about the Su family again, so as not to admit your mistake."
"Yes, empress..."
"Dad, please call me Ning'er."
"Yes,... Ji Ji Li is already preparing, it will be in a month."
The third master mentioned the people of the Su family, and even mentioned the Xuanning Hou Mansion in the capital. After a pause, the third master continued,
"If the hairpin queen is my mother...whatever arrangements you have, the Su family will definitely be ready."
"Thank you, Dad. I have my own plans for the marriage, so I'm not in a hurry." Shen Qing thanked her softly, and then the carriage became quiet again.
After all, Shen Qing was a concubine from the palace. Mr. Su San felt a little uncomfortable being in the same carriage with her, and he didn't know what to say.
Shen Qing did not feel the atmosphere was awkward, but was calculating the score in her mind.
When she was fourteen, she was accused of being a concubine to the fifth prince. When the fifth prince ascended the throne at the age of fifteen, she became the concubine Chen and stayed in the harem for two years.
She is sixteen now, and will actually be seventeen in two months.
But now she has changed her identity and become Su Ningxin, the eldest girl of the Su family. The fifteen-year-old haircut ceremony will still be three days later, which means she is two years younger.
From the age of fourteen to fifteen, it took one year to go from the concubine of Enpingbo's house to the eldest daughter of Xuanninghou's house. After all, she had made a lot of money.
