Su Yueling nodded subconsciously, and then shook her head desperately after she came to her senses.
Wait, it's too late for her to deny it now! Yuan Suijun will know after just a little inquiry.
There was a breeze-like smile on Yuan Suijun's face, which spread from the corner of his mouth to the bottom of his eyes. His eyes were so gentle that they seemed to be dripping with water.
Under his gaze, Su Yueling began to feel at a loss. For some reason, seeing him like this, she didn't want to admit that she made an exception for him.
She pursed her lips, and her slightly raised chin made her look as proud as ever, "It just happened that I couldn't sleep last night, and I was idle. In order to pass the time, I put this hat away."
"So don't think too much!"
"Well, I didn't think too much about it. I knew you just couldn't sleep."
Su Yueling's cheeks turned as red as the morning glow, "Then you are still smiling?!!"
"Don't laugh!!"
Qi Qi smiled so softly that it made her whole body feel uncomfortable.
"Well, I don't laugh." Yuan Suijun tried his best to straighten the corners of his mouth. Although Su Yueling's shy and annoyed expression is very cute and her expression is particularly smart, if the teasing is overdone, the other party will probably ignore him for half a month, then
The gain outweighs the loss.
Su Yueling was very angry.
"You are obviously still smiling, your eyes are smiling!"
"It's hard for me to control my eyes."
Su Yueling finally left angrily. She decided not to do anything about Yuan Suijun's scarf in the next few days, but would wait until next month.
Huh, the weather is hot now anyway, so he doesn't need a scarf.
She also wanted Wang Jia to embroider the painting of Yuan Suijun being splashed with ink by a fish into a large screen, which would then be placed in the hall so that every guest could see it.
Ah Wu just happened to bring something from the warehouse. When he saw Su Yueling, he was about to salute, but Su Yueling walked straight away, with an angry emotion remaining on her face.
Ah Wu was shocked when he saw Su Yueling's expression. Could it be that the master has pissed off the lady?
After he entered the room, he saw Yuan Suijun holding a hat in his hand and the corners of his mouth raised, obviously in a very happy mood.
Awu reminded: "Master, I just saw my wife looking very angry when she left."
Yuan Suijun naturally knew about this, so he said in a gentle tone, "It won't be a problem."
He even wanted to paint the beautiful scene just now and keep it for himself so that no one could see it.
…
After walking back to her yard and eating the breakfast served by Sheng Nan, Su Yueling's mood calmed down a lot.
Well, it must be because she stayed up late that she got angry so easily.
Not angry or angry.
After eating and drinking, she sat in front of the dressing table, choosing suitable jewelry to put in her bun.
Aunt Zheng and Aunt Hu arranged for the servants to make preparations for the reception.
The front yard and the back yard are separate, and all the female relatives went to the back yard to receive them. Although Su Yueling and Yuan Suijun didn't send many posts, most of them were rich or noble. If something went wrong in front of them, they wanted to change it later.
The image requires more effort.
What makes Grandma Zheng particularly satisfied is that although these servants have only received temporary guidance from her during this period, their etiquette and behavior seem to be decent, and they are enough to fool people.
"Mommy, eat some, some steamed cheese with sugar to relieve your fatigue. Thank you for your hard work."
Katsuo served a cup of steamed sugar cheese that was still steaming. The wife asked the kitchen to make this steamed cheese a few days ago. It was smooth, soft and sweet, with a hint of wine and a slight sour taste. It was very appetizing.
.A few raisins and chopped strawberries are sprinkled on top.
Katsuo had made inquiries and found out that even other aristocratic families and nobles in the capital did not have such desserts as steamed cheese with sugar.
Even Aunt Zheng, who had eaten many delicious royal dishes from the palace, also liked this snack. She thought the Queen Mother would also like it, and wanted to find a time to remind Su Yueling to send it to the Queen Mother.
She finished eating quickly and continued to direct.
Katsuo personally delivered the bowls and chopsticks to the kitchen and kept an eye on the stove. All kinds of scented teas and fine teas were fully prepared. When the guests arrived, they would make them at the beginning of the month. The art of making tea at the beginning of the month was learned from Su Yueling.
It's definitely not comparable to Su Yueling, but his level is enough to fool people.
When it was time, customers began to come to the door.
The first guest to visit was Mrs. Pang. Her son Pang Wenshan was the most popular person in spring. After the imperial examination, he was appointed editor of the Hanlin Academy.
According to Yuan Suijun, although Pang Wenshan is a bit silly in his behavior, his character is not bad. Therefore, this time he also sent a message to the Pang family. Not only him, Tanhua also invited him. This time, he is the top three in Chunwei.
They all don't get along too badly.
Su Yueling also cheered up to entertain people.
Mrs. Pang was led into the backyard by the maid. When she looked up, she saw a figure in a red dress. The dress made her eyes light up. It was light and elegant, with a refined and fairy spirit. The camellia embroidered on it was even more lifelike.
The hem of the skirt was dotted with broken sapphires, like stars inlaid on it. She immediately guessed the identity of the other party - to be able to wear such luxurious clothes, he must be Su Yueling, the king of Weiguo County. Standing next to her was Aunt Zheng
, Mrs. Pang, as the royal wife, had also visited the palace to pay her respects to the Queen Mother, so she was no stranger to her.
Everyone has a love for beauty. Even Mrs. Pang and her daughter-in-law are new to the industry. When they saw this beautiful skirt that they had never seen before, they couldn't help but have the idea of making one when they return home.
Originally, as the wife of a marquis in the capital, she was a little arrogant in front of Su Yueling. But as soon as she came in, she was dazzled by the dress.
"Madam, Mrs. Pang is here."
Following these words, the woman in the red dress slowly turned her head, revealing a face as bright as the morning glow, so bright that the flowers behind her dimmed.
Mrs. Pang was shocked by the oncoming beauty and stayed where she was.
She didn't know how long it took before she came back to her senses, with only one thought in her mind: The most beautiful woman in the capital was about to be replaced.
Su Yueling's eyebrows curved, "Mrs. Pang, do you want tea?"
…
"Eh? Isn't this Xia Zhiyao? She's actually here too. Did Lord Weiguo invite her?"
"If I were her, I would definitely be too embarrassed to go out."
Xia Zhiyao looked up at the plaque above her head - Weiguo County Jun's Mansion, and turned a deaf ear to those comments. She frowned slightly, not quite understanding why Yuan Suijun's coronation ceremony would be held in Su Yueling's mansion.
Obviously the saint also rewarded him with a house, and the house was right next door.
She received the invitation a few days ago. The font on it was clear and refined, a font she had never seen before. Xia Zhiyao heard that Su Yueling had only been studying for two years. How could he write such good handwriting?
I hired someone to write it for me.
In her opinion, Su Yueling had no friendship with her and sent the invitation to her just to laugh at her.
Even if her reputation was tarnished due to being framed during this period, it would not be something Su Yueling, a country bumpkin, could ridicule.
For this reason, she abandoned her usual fresh and graceful style and dressed up specially, in order to let Su Yueling see the style of a real noblewoman in the capital, so that she would feel ashamed of herself.
She was about to go in when she heard the sound of gongs and drums from the honor guard coming from a distance.
Xia Zhiyao stopped, could it be that His Majesty is here? She knew that Emperor Rong Ji was going to personally attend Yuan Suijun's coronation ceremony, which was the only grace in the capital.
But when the guard of honor appeared in sight, Xia Zhiyao recognized that this was not the guard of honor for the emperor's trip, but was clearly the empress dowager!
