After a while, a woman with slender eyebrows and slender eyes came in leading a delicate and slender girl.
The woman was about thirty years old, tall and slender, with a fair complexion, and she gave a big gift when she saw Su Shi. "Mrs. Mo has met Mrs. Su."
The little girl next to the woman followed suit and saluted respectfully.
The woman is Mo Shi, the wife of Chen Lin, a cabinet scholar. The little girl is named Chen Ya, and she is Chen Lin's eldest daughter.
Su smiled and rewarded the little girl with an emerald bracelet.
Chen Ya is only eleven or twelve years old, but she is already very slim. Wearing a brocade skirt embroidered with silver butterflies and embroidered jade beads, it makes her complexion fairer, her appearance is beautiful, and her manner is gentle and generous.
Mrs. Zhao really became happier the more she watched, so when Chen Ya saluted her, she immediately took a white jade bracelet from her wrist and put it on Chen Ya's wrist, holding Chen Ya's hand was a compliment .
Lin also gave a ruby bracelet as a meeting gift.
Su Qingping looked at it very eagerly. These are all good things. It would be great if they were all given to herself.
She has seen the wealth and honor of Nangong Mansion, and now seeing that such an unfavored daughter-in-law in Lin's mansion can produce such good things at will, she can't help but feel a little bit disappointed. If she is the daughter-in-law of this Nangong Mansion Enough.
Mo thanked Su, Zhao and Lin with a smile, and gave Nangong Cheng and Nangong Yue an agate bracelet in a blink of an eye.
As for Su Qingping, she didn't get anything. Instead, because she was a generation older, she gave Chen Ya a jade hairpin, which made her heart hurt to death.
Seeing this, Nangong Yue couldn't help curling her lips mockingly. She could naturally see that Mrs. Zhao was very satisfied with Chen Ya, but she lived an extra life, and she didn't know anything else, but she was very sure that her future sister-in-law was not this Chen Ya.
Mrs. Mo chatted with Mrs. Su for a few words, seeing that Mrs. Su's expression couldn't hide the weariness, she left with a wink.
Mrs. Zhao graciously sent Mrs. Mo out of the house, and came back with a happy face.
After resting for half an hour, Su Shi said to the girls: "My old lady is old and weak and has no strength. It is rare for you young girls to go out once. Let's go for a walk in the yard outside so that you can get some fresh air." .”
"Mother is right." Mrs. Zhao nodded and said, "This west side hall and this row of wing rooms are not allowed to enter except for the little novice monk. It's good for you to go out and liven up."
The three girls hurriedly thanked Mrs. Su, and they left the room with their maids and mothers.
But Zhao and Lin have mothers-in-law who need to take care of them, so naturally they can only stay with Su.
While walking, the round-headed little novice monk introduced various things in this temple with a small milky voice. For example, the Bailong Temple has a long history. It existed in the previous dynasty, but it was destroyed by war later, and it was rebuilt after the first emperor ascended the throne. Get up; for example, this Bailong Temple is the second largest temple in the royal capital, and the incense is the most prosperous; for example, there is a bamboo forest behind this side hall, which is said to be planted by eminent monks in the previous dynasty. Even when the old temple was destroyed, the bamboo forest unexpectedly Also survived and became a good talk...
Blowing the wind, admiring the bamboo, taking a walk, this journey is also very leisurely... until there is a sudden noise from the bamboo forest, and the sound is getting louder.
Seeing this, the little novice became a little nervous, and said in a panic: "Please wait here, my little monk, and go and see what happened." A little fat boy insisted on pretending to be an adult. .
Su Qingping suddenly said: "Let's go and have a look too." After speaking, before anyone else could say anything, she had already brought her maid Liurong to follow.
Nangong Cheng wanted to stop him, but he hesitated thinking that Su Qingping was an elder. With just this hesitation, he lost the opportunity. She couldn't leave Su Qingping behind either, so she could only turn her head and say to Nangong Yue: "Sister, let's go and have a look."
Nangong Yue nodded, and the two of them followed the sound with their maids and mothers, but saw that the source of the noise was three men, two of whom were obviously dressed as guards, they were tall and strong, and they were aggressive. They were clamping the arms of a man in blue from left to right, pressing his back, and pressing him face down on the bluestone slab.
"Let go of me! Let me go!" The restrained man struggled in embarrassment, his hair was a little messy, but he looked like an acquaintance.
Quickly raised her eyes and scanned half a circle, Nangong Yue had already started to regret in her heart, she knew she shouldn't have followed.
"Cousin Cheng!" Su Qingping called out excitedly, "Who are you, let go of Cousin!"
That's right, the man who was suppressed on the ground was Nangong Cheng. And the other five were obviously in the same group, and I don't know how he got into trouble with this group of people.
The three teenagers who turned their backs to them suddenly turned around and looked, the shortest one in the middle opened the paper fan and said jokingly: "Huh? Cousin is here! Look at this guy who was sneaky just now, could it be cousin?" Is my cousin here for a private meeting?" This boy is only eleven or twelve years old, his star eyes are bright, his skin is like white jade, his lips are red and his teeth are white.
Although he was obviously superior in appearance to the two teenagers beside him, those two teenagers were not inferior to him. They just stood casually without speaking, exuding a compelling aura.
With just one glance, Nangong Yue and Nangong Cheng recognized the two as the second prince Han Lingzhao and the third prince Han Lingfu.
They met again! Nangong Yue felt a little turmoil in her heart, but she couldn't show it. I can only focus on the young man in the middle, he is definitely not an ordinary person standing side by side with the two princes!
Naturally, Nangong Cheng also thought of this. She wanted to reprimand the young man for his foul language, but she didn't dare to speak casually because of her identity as a young man. She was calm on the surface, but she had thought about it several times in her heart, and after much deliberation, she didn't think that there was any prince who fit the young man's age.
But Nangong Yue didn't recognize the boy at first sight, but she did at the second sight. The boy is not a real boy, but a girl, a girl disguised as a man. The girl's name is Qu Jiayue, and she can be said to be the proud daughter of heaven. Her father is Pingyanghou, the eldest son of Aunt Sheng's aunt, and her mother is the younger sister of Concubine Liu. Therefore, Qu Jiayue was very favored as soon as she was born. He is more favored by the emperor than several princesses, and he is bestowed the title of Princess Mingyue.
Qu Jiayue has always been unmatched in the limelight in the capital, and was hailed as the number one beauty in the capital, until later Nangong Cheng replaced her.
The two masters didn't make a sound, but Nanny Gui behind them was the nanny in charge of Nangong Cheng, but she couldn't bear Qu Jiayue's words to tarnish the Nangong family's reputation.
Nanny Gui also has a bit of eyesight, knowing that these people are probably not ordinary people, because she spoke very politely, "I'm afraid this young master has some misunderstanding. This is the fourth master of our family, follow the mansion..."
"Mommy!" Nangong Cheng raised her hand to signal Gui Nanny not to continue. She gave Nangong Yue a look, and the two stepped forward together, saluting gracefully, "See 2..."
