The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 401 The Second House Aunt ([-])

The Su family has a total of four families. Although the family has been separated for a long time, each house lives around the ancestral hall.

The second family has weak heirs, except for the unworthy eldest girl, there is only Su Chengzhi who has been wandering outside.

Since the news of Su Ling'an's death in the war came to Beijing, Mrs. Lu took refuge in He Anju in the southwest corner of the second room. Since then, the main courtyard has been vacant for 30 years, and now she finally has an owner.

The main courtyard of the second room is different from the five-entry main courtyard of the other rooms, it is only a three-entry courtyard.

However, not far from the main courtyard, there is a secondary courtyard in the east and west.

In addition to these two yards, there are several other yards, large and small, scattered around the boundary of Erfang.

Su Yunduo knew that such a yard had two uses, one was for the son to grow up and get married, and the other was naturally for the male master to house his concubine.

Although the Su family is a scholarly family, there is also a family motto that a man can only take concubines when he is forty and childless, but there are not a few people in the family who take concubines. Just look at the third house and you will know that the right wife is good and has a son However, Su Lingzhi still promoted his concubine, and this concubine still seemed to be superior to his wife, this was something Su Yunduo couldn't understand.

Of course, Su Yunduo didn't bother to think about those things, she was too busy with her own affairs!

Su Zexuan and Su Zechen did not live in the main courtyard with their parents this time, but chose a nice secondary courtyard in the outer courtyard.

In that yard, Mrs. Lu arranged for each of them a very appropriate nanny and two maids aged fifteen or sixteen to take care of the brothers' daily necessities. Live together and go in.

The little brother didn't live with his parents, so it was even more impossible for Su Yunduo to live in the main courtyard with his parents. Mrs. Lu specially cleaned up the embroidery building in the mansion that had been vacant for some years for her.

Living in such an embroidered building, Su Yunduo was a little bit resistant in her heart, but finally moved in calmly. Of course, she had to inquire about the origin of this embroidered building in private.

Knowing that this embroidered building was the boudoir of Su Jieting, the aunt of the second wife's first wife before she got married, Su Yunduo frowned slightly.

Standing outside the window on the second floor and looking out, you can not only overlook the entire second room, but also take in the entire Dongmingfang. This embroidery building is really well built, which shows that Su Jieting was still very favored back then.

This made Su Yunduo feel a little uneasy, and always had some bad premonitions in her heart, but she didn't want to go against Mrs. Lu's wishes, so she could only take one step at a time.

There is no need for Su Yunduo to install the cage, Zisu and Bai Zhi beside her are very useful maids, and Mrs. Lu specially assigned a nanny in charge and four second-class maids for Su Yunduo.

The nanny in charge was recommended by Concubine Zhen to Mrs. Lu, and it is said that she is a nanny who came out of Concubine Zhen's palace.

Su Yunduo didn't know if she had ever served Concubine Zhen.

But after getting along with her for a few days, Su Yunduo felt that this middle-aged nanny who looked rather stern was kind to him.

The four second-class maids were all trained/taught by Madam Wu who was next to Mrs. Lu. Even if they couldn't be compared with Zisu and Baizhi for a while, they all had their own strengths. It depends on the future relationship between the two parties.

The boxes and cages have entered their respective yards, and they don't care about tidying up and tidying up for the time being. The next step is today's highlight-the emigration banquet.

Originally thought that at today's emigration banquet, Sanfang would say a few gossips, but I didn't expect that although the faces of the people in Sanfang were still not very good-looking, except for the wife of Sanfang, Mrs. Zhang, who asked why there was no sign of Su Jieting However, the others were all silent like the sawed gourd.

However, when Mrs. Zhang asked about Su Jieting, Su Yunduo always felt that she seemed to mean something, and doubts welled up in her heart, but was interrupted by Mrs. Shi and missed it.

It stands to reason that Sanfang was silent, this emigration banquet should be peaceful and lively, but in the end, the peace was lost because of Su Jieting's arrival.

Su Jieting is the aunt of the second room, the eldest daughter of Su Ling'an's original spouse.

The invitation was sent to Anyang Marquis Mansion where Su Jieting was located early.

Taking care of my younger brother to move here as the elder sister should have come earlier, but this elder sister was about to start the banquet and she was not seen. The wife gave up the table.

About a quarter of an hour after the banquet started, Su Jieting broke into the banquet hall with a group of maids and women, and just stood in the banquet hall and stared coldly at Mrs. Lu without saying a word.

Although the old lady Lu is the stepwife, she is the daughter of the Duke of Zhen, so she will not lose. She gracefully put down the chopsticks in her hand, took the cup handed over by Madam Wu, rinsed her mouth, and then used The clean veil lightly imprinted the corners of his mouth, and he sat so quietly, calmly meeting Su Jieting's unkind eyes, and also did not speak.

These two people are about the same age, but a stepmother and a stepdaughter, there is a difference in generation.

Su Jieting came here on the day when she recognized her ancestors and returned to her family, so Ning Shi also saw her. Seeing her aunt coming, she was so scared that she stood up, trying not to take down the bowls and chopsticks in front of her.

Naturally, Su Chengzhi received the news very quickly. Although men and women were seated separately, they were in the same banquet hall, so he quickly apologized to the male guests and rushed over.

On the day when he recognized his ancestor and returned to his clan, he had said a few words to Su Jieting. He felt that this elder sister was a bit lofty, and she was indifferent to him and not close to him, but he always remembered that Su Jieting was his eldest sister. And set up a banquet, so I sent a post to Su Jieting early.

It's just that Su Jieting didn't reply to the post, and she didn't show up for a long time today. She thought that the elder sister would not show up today, but she didn't expect that the elder sister would rush in with someone after the banquet had been going on for more than a quarter of an hour. .

If it is said that they are here to congratulate, no one will believe it.

It's just that since Su Jieting is his eldest sister, as a younger brother, he should treat her respectfully. He walked around from the men's table and gave Su Jieting a deep bow: "Eldest sister..."

He only called out big sister, but was interrupted by Su Jieting raising her hand. Not only was the conversation interrupted, Su Jieting was also very rude to him: "You have nothing to do here, go wherever you go." Then she pointed at Ning's family. He said coldly, "Sit down too!"

Before Su Chengzhi was born, Su Jieting knew that she would have a younger brother or younger sister who was a concubine, but it took 30 years for this concubine to suddenly appear, she couldn't accept it in her heart.

However, Su Chengzhi's appearance was the same as his father's when he was young, and the birthmark on his body all showed Su Chengzhi's identity.

Su Jieting had to recognize this younger brother, but it was not easy for her to have a good look towards Su Chengzhi for a while, not to mention that she came to find fault today, so it was even more impossible for her to be pleasant.
