Su Ningxin had been reading travel notes in the Buddhist hall, and she didn't go to the old lady's yard to have dinner with her family until the dinner.
When she entered the courtyard, Su Lanxin stared at the jade pendant hanging on Su Ningxin's waist for several times. She didn't know whether her expression was disappointment or happiness.
Su Ningxin laughed secretly. After all, she was a young girl who had never been through the storm. She didn't even know how to hide her emotions.
At the dinner, Su Ningxin received another gift from her three younger brothers, all of which were ordinary hairpins and pearl flowers.
Although the Su family came from the Hou family, they were strict with their children. There were fixed monthly payment rules to prevent them from becoming arrogant and extravagant, so they did not have money to buy too expensive gifts.
Su Ningxin naturally didn't care about this, and accepted it in a gentle manner, and then thanked her again.
With the old lady here, this meal can be regarded as a happy reunion, at least that's what Su Ningxin thinks.
The main reason is that even though she is being watched by a whole family, she has no idol baggage. She picks her favorite dishes and eats until her belly bulges. Anyway, she is very happy.
Dining with a group of younger brothers and sisters, Su Ning sincerely lamented that the Su family was really prosperous.
There were eight children sitting at one table, but that wasn't all. Mr. Su San's children under ten years old were all still in the capital. If they all came, there wouldn't even be room for them at the table.
Su Ningxin clicked her tongue twice, could Mr. Su San recognize all of the children
This dinner made Su Ningxin discover an interesting phenomenon. Although the third lady was Master Su San's first wife, she also had a strong rival, Aunt Zhao, who was Su Lanxin's biological mother.
Aunt Zhao has four children, two sons and two daughters, and both sons are older than the legitimate son born to the third wife. No wonder Su Lanxin is so courageous and dares to scheme against her legitimate daughter. It turns out she has a backer. .
A legitimate royal wife, an aunt who was deeply loved and gave birth to the eldest son of a concubine, it was a big drama no matter how you looked at it.
As for the two of them fighting openly and secretly in the future, Su Ningxin said that she was looking forward to it, and she wouldn't be so bored watching the show.
Su Ningxin was free for the next two days. Although the haircut ceremony was about to be held, the affairs had already been arranged and she didn't need to ask anything.
Except for greeting the old lady, Su Ningxin stayed in her yard the rest of the time. Nominally she was concentrating on worshiping the Buddha, but in reality she was sitting in the Buddhist hall reading travel notes.
After staying at home like this for two days, Su Ningxin finally waited for the day when she got her haircut.

On the streets of Xingyuan Mansion.
"Brother, where are you going?" Chu Jihan stretched out his hand to stop a passerby from exiting and asked.
Seeing everyone walking in the same direction, he couldn't help but feel doubtful.
The young man was also good-tempered and was not angry when he was stopped. "You don't know, today is the day for the eldest daughter of the Su family to get her hair. Let's all join in the fun."
The eldest girl of the Su family
"Is it the Su family from Xuanning Hou Mansion?"
"Yes, that's the Su family."
Chu Jihan remembered that when he rushed over, he often met the same group of people while resting in the inn on the way. They must have come on the same road. Although there was no intersection, he still sent someone to ask.
The servants in that family had a very strict reputation and were unwilling to say anything. The more the other party didn't say anything, the more curious he became, so he sent someone to check it out. It seemed that they were from the Su family of the Marquis Xuanning Mansion.
Is that the Su family? Chu Jihan was even more curious now, "The girl's hairpin ceremony invited so many people to watch the ceremony?"
"Hahaha, little brother, you are joking. How come our lady's hairpin ceremony allows us to attend the ceremony? We are just standing at the door to look at the dignitaries who are attending the ceremony."
"Are there many dignitaries going?" Chu Jihan continued to ask.
Now the little brother was a little unsure, "There should be a lot of them. I heard that the Su family has a high status in the capital. Although the third master is the magistrate of Bazhou, even the magistrate has to give him some face. "
After analyzing it himself, the younger brother came to the conclusion, "There must be a lot of people. Even the prefect wants to go, so other officials shouldn't rush to go."
"So that's it. The ignorant guy from a foreign country made me laugh." Chu Jihan looked like he suddenly understood.
"It's okay, it's okay. I'll go first. I won't be able to get a good seat if I'm late." After the boy said that, he merged into the crowd and disappeared.
