Su Liao was dressed in luxurious silk and satin, looking at the crowd of guests, her heart was beating so fast that it almost jumped out of her throat.
She couldn't help but touch her chest, using this action to calm down her emotions and avoid being embarrassed in front of these female relatives.
Aunt Zheng stood next to her and introduced the family background of these women to her in a low voice.
Mrs. Su Liao took a deep breath, she was obedient, each of these guests was older than the last. They decided that the highest status person in Nanzhou was the prefect, but as a result, even the prefect might not be able to receive invitations from the Su family.
If she accidentally says the wrong thing later, will she bring trouble to Yueling and embarrass Tianbao?
Seeing her nervousness, Grandma Zheng said softly: "Don't worry, no matter how noble their status is, can they be more noble than the emperor and the eldest princess?"
Su Liao was stunned for a moment.
Yes, she is someone who has met the emperor before! When the eldest princess came to visit Yueling in the palace some time ago, she even said hello to the eldest princess. Both the emperor and the eldest princess were very kind to her and rewarded her a lot.
thing.
All these people put together would definitely not be as powerful as the emperor and the eldest princess.
By soothing herself like this, most of her nervousness disappeared.
However, Mrs. Su Liao also knew that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so when the female family members talked to her, she kept her words as concise as possible. In the eyes of other female family members, they looked at her favorably and felt that although she was of low status, she had some merit.
Remarkable points.
These ladies in the capital are really envious of Su Yueling. Her husband is the king of the county, and he is devoted to her. My sister-in-law can make money, and the new store she opened in the capital can be said to be making a fortune every day. Her brother-in-law is even more promising.
He directly won the title of Wu Zhuangyuan and had an official status.
With a big brother like Yuan Suijun here, as long as Yuan Suifeng doesn't get involved with the rebels, his future is bright to the naked eye. There will be no hindrance for the whole family.
What makes them even more attracted is that Yuan Suifeng has not yet decided to get married!
Therefore, these aristocratic ladies who came to visit also brought their unmarried women of the right age with them this time. Before going out, they specially told them to behave well in front of Su Yueling and Yuan Baoshu.
Yuan Suifeng's parents died young. As the eldest sister-in-law, Su Yueling is equivalent to half a mother. Her perception can be said to be crucial.
Most aristocratic ladies have their own reserve and arrogance. Even if they are interested in this marriage, they cannot be too proactive. The most they can do is show off their talents in front of Su Yueling.
However, some unmarried ladies who have no advantages in appearance or life experience have developed crooked ideas, such as the third lady of Shao Mansion, Shao Qianqian.
Although Shao Qianqian is a legitimate daughter, she has two legitimate sisters in front of her who are much more beautiful than her, and two younger brothers below her, so she becomes the one who is easily ignored at home.
She and her second sister Shao Yinyin are only one year apart and have not yet been engaged. Her mother originally planned to bring her second sister over. Shao Qianqian was not convinced and was also unmarried. Her mother only thought of her second sister and ignored such a good marriage.
Got her.
So Shao Qianqian secretly added raw water to the porridge that her second sister ate. Her second sister had a delicate stomach and had vomiting and diarrhea the day before departure, and her face was sallow.
Shao Qianqian’s mother had no choice but to give up her original idea and bring Shao Qianqian to Yuan Mansion.
Shao Qianqian knew very well that this was her only chance. If she missed it, there would be no future.
With her mother's partiality, she would definitely not consider her before her second sister's marriage was finalized. She had been suppressed by her two older sisters for so many years, and she didn't want to be suppressed even if she got married. What's the point in this kind of life?
Hope.
She originally thought that when she came to Yuan's house, she would find a way to meet Yuan Suifeng, pretending to be slippery in front of others, and fall into his arms. As long as they had skin contact, Yuan Suifeng would also be responsible for her.
Take responsibility.
In fact, it would be safer if she fell into the water and was rescued by Yuan Suifeng, but this was Yuan Mansion and she didn't have the ability to arrange this, so she could only settle for the next best thing.
only……
She thought it would be easy to throw away the maid and pretend to be lost and go to the front yard. Xiaoqianqian didn’t expect that the management of the Yuan family was actually very strict. Every small door was guarded by guards. If she wanted to pretend to be lost, the guards would personally mark her
Later, he sent her back to the backyard where the female relatives were entertained.
After being sent back three times in a row, a Miss Yang couldn't help but taunt her, "Miss Shaosan, are you lost again?"
"This is the third time you've been lost."
Shao Qianqian's face turned red and she said weakly: "I just wanted to go to another yard to pick flowers, but I accidentally walked to another place."
She also wanted to be ashamed, so of course she couldn't admit that she wanted to find Yuan Suifeng.
She brought the chrysanthemums she picked to Yuan Baoshu and said, "Baoshu, the chrysanthemums in your garden are blooming so beautifully."
She envied Yuan Baoshu very much in her heart. Yuan Suijun and Yuan Suifeng only had one sister, Yuan Baoshu. Yuan Baoshu's status in the family was very respected. As an unmarried daughter, she could hold the power of the housekeeper.
Unlike her, there is almost no room for her in the family.
Yuan Baoshu looked at her red face, but still saved her face. She smiled and took the chrysanthemum: "Thank you."
"They are playing Ludo and bowling. You can play with them."
No matter what Shao Qianqian had in mind, Yuan Baoshu didn't think she would succeed, and the guards in the mansion were not vegetarians.
There are many more young women coming today than Yuan Baoshu expected. They are all young girls. If anyone has lost their temper and talks hastily, there may be a quarrel. As the host, Yuan Baoshu naturally has to mediate.
She looked at Shao Qianqian sitting there drinking tea, seemingly okay, but a pair of cousins happened to be quarreling, so Yuan Baoshu went over to mediate.
She put the chrysanthemums that Shao Qianqian had picked just now into the maid's hands.
Shao Qianqian, who was drinking tea, felt a little uncomfortable when she saw this scene. After all, she personally picked the most beautiful flower, but Yuan Baoshu casually gave it to the maid.
Originally, she thought that Yuan Baoshu, as a person from a poor background, should be able to put himself in her shoes and consider her situation. Now it seems that she thinks highly of her.
Shao Qianqian looked at Yuan Baoshu who was surrounded by many rich ladies. Compared with herself sitting here alone, the sense of gap was even stronger.
Yuan Suifeng could not be seen in person, and Princess Wei did not show up from the beginning to the end... Yuan Baoshu was so cold to her.
How can she marry into the Yuan family?
Suddenly she remembered a story that her nanny once told her. The Jiang family was born in a small family, but she was able to marry into the Hou Mansion and become the Marquis's wife only because she saved her sister-in-law when she was young, and she still stayed in the house for this reason.
There were scars on the body.
Her eyes fell on Yuan Baoshu from afar - it was easier to plot against Yuan Baoshu than to plot against Yuan Suifeng.
If she also leaves scars on her face because of Yuan Baoshu and cannot get married, the Yuan family must take responsibility for her for their own reputation. This chapter has been completed!
