Sitting cross-legged on the futon, Su Ningxin read happily with the travel notes she bought on the road. It was naturally impossible for her to read Buddhist scriptures.
Not long after, Nanny Lin knocked on the door outside and said, "Girl, the third lady is here and said she wanted to give the girl some clothes for her haircut gift."
Su Ning heartily responded, stuffing the travel notes in her hand under the desk and hiding them. She saw that there were dozens of travel notes hidden under the desk, and there was no space left.
After tidying up her clothes and going around twice to smoke the sandalwood, Su Ningxin opened the door and went out, lest others would not know that she had come out of the Buddhist hall.
"Why did mother come here in person?" After entering the door, she saw the third lady waiting in the room. Su Ningxin said hello obediently, looking like a good daughter.
"The hairdressing ceremony was already being prepared before you came here. This is a dress made by the embroiderer in the mansion for you. You try it on and ask them to change it if it doesn't suit you." The third lady said, looking a little uncomfortable. comfortable.
Su Ningxin looked at her as if she had something to say, so she thoughtfully asked the maids to go down.
"Mom, do you have anything to say to Ning'er?" Su Ningxin asked.
The third lady opened her mouth to call her empress, but remembered the third master's instructions and quickly stopped her mouth. She was told to call her Ning'er but she couldn't say it out, so she spoke awkwardly.
"Over the years, during the holidays, my family has given gifts to the younger generation. They are all here. I wrote down the time and who gave them on paper."
As the third lady spoke, she took out a box from under those hair-length clothes. Su Ningxin immediately understood that these things were given to the original "Su Ningxin" by her elders. If she couldn't take them out in the future, people would definitely be suspicious.
"Mom is very considerate." Su Ningxin thanked her. She had gotten used to it over the years and said such false flattery casually.
Don't hit the smiling person. It's always right to say something nice. In fact, many times she doesn't think it's flattery, but just like words. No one will take such words seriously anyway.
However, the third lady was obviously not used to this kind of communication. She said with sincerity and fear, "That's what a wife should do."
Su Ningxin smiled and did not explain.
The third lady explained some more arrangements for the ceremony and things to pay attention to, and then went back.
Su Ningxin looked at the box sent by the third lady. It contained longevity locks, necklaces, and jade pendants. They were indeed given by elders to younger ones. Judging from the big and small items, it seemed that they had been there for more than ten years. are all here.
After glancing at the list, there was nothing special to pay attention to, so Su Ningxin ordered Shuanghua to put it away.
It is estimated that there are very few specially prepared for the former Su Ningxin, but other children sometimes gave her a piece by the way, but after all, they are from the Hou Mansion, and they are all in good condition.
Not long after the third lady left, Su Ningxin had just eaten a few pastries and before she could return to the Buddhist hall, a little maid outside reported that several girls were coming to visit her.
Su Ningxin thought that these sisters would come to see her again after today, but she didn't expect that they would come today.
"Sister, let's come over to see and talk to you." Su Jiaxin said cheerfully as soon as she entered the door.
Su Jiaxin is also the legitimate daughter of the third wife, so she is Su Ningxin's only biological sister. The other sisters are all concubines born from aunts, so compared to other people's respect, Su Jiaxin is closer to Su Ningxin.
"Hello, eldest sister," Su Lanxin, who was following behind, said hello respectfully after entering the door. "I wonder if coming here now will disturb eldest sister's rest. It's just that we thought it was time to give birth to hair extensions soon, and we were afraid that when we come tomorrow, eldest sister will be busy and have to wait a long time. While taking care of us, I didn’t cause any trouble for my sister, so I came here today.”
Su Lanxin's words made Su Ningxin glance at her. Her words were very discreet. Although they were seemingly ordinary conversations, it was not easy to say something that would definitely make people get caught. In the past, the palace Most people are like this, but not many women in the boudoir are like this.
Su Ningxin remembered that Su Lanxin should be Aunt Zhao's daughter. She was the second daughter in the third room and was two years younger than Su Ningxin.
"I'm so happy that my sisters can come and play with me. How can I blame you for disturbing me?" Su Ningxin believed that she would not lose to anyone when it came to speaking beautiful words.
The sisters were asked to sit down, and the maid served some new cakes and tea, and they started chatting.
Is it really chatting, or is it the awkward kind of chatting when there is nothing to say? After all, we are really not familiar with each other.
