The Pretty Eldest Daughter of a Scholar's Family

Chapter 422 Preparations and Rituals ([-])
That evening Su Chengzhi and his two sons returned together, and Su Zechen went to Huayang Street as he wished.

After the family had dinner and talked in the banquet hall of He Anju, Mrs. Lu mentioned Su Yunduo and Ji Li.

Su Chengzhi glanced at Su Yunduo with a smile. He mentioned this matter to him as soon as he returned to Ning's mansion today. He didn't feel it was abrupt when Mrs. Lu mentioned it now. He just looked at Mrs. Lu respectfully and said, "Girl! Jiji is a big deal, but the child's mother doesn't know much, so I have to trouble my mother to mention more."

The old lady Lu looked kindly, looked at Ning and then at Su Chengzhi and said, "I can't help you with this matter. There are little girls in the clan who organize the ceremony almost every year, and your sister-in-law must take care of it. She He knows the process of this ceremony best, so asking her to help and guide his daughter-in-law is sure to make no mistake.

It's just that the candidates for the guest of honor, secretary, and praiser have to be decided in advance, especially the candidate of the guest of honor is especially important.

Today, my daughter-in-law and I discussed the choice of this guest of honor. What I mean is that it is best to choose one of the eldest princess and my natal sister-in-law as the guest of honor. I just wonder if you have a better candidate? "

Since Mrs. Ning had already heard Mrs. Lu's words in the morning, and had a discussion with Su Yunduo, she knew it well.

Su Chengzhi was a little confused.

It's just a gift from a girl's family. Wouldn't it be a bit of a fuss to invite a noble person like the eldest princess or Mrs. Zhen Guogong to insert the hairpin?
In the countryside, girls’ homes don’t even have any gifts, and some families don’t even have a bowl of birthday noodles.

It's not that Su Chengzhi doesn't value Su Yunduo, but it's that he has never experienced Jiji ceremony.

Seeing that Su Chengzhi didn't speak for a while, Mrs. Lu simply turned to Su Yunduo: "What kind of thoughts is in Sister Duo's heart?"

What was the reason for Su Chengzhi's silence for a long time, Su Yunduo knew best in his heart, but he was glad that Su Chengzhi didn't rashly make any inappropriate remarks about this Jiji ceremony. But also have their own position and point of view.

After thinking for a while, Su Yunduo replied generously: "Whether it is the eldest princess or the aunt is one of the most talented elders in the capital, it is a great honor for the granddaughter to get any one of them. .”

Speaking of this, Su Yunduo paused for a moment, and looked at the old lady Lu with some shyness to tell her embarrassment: "It's just that my granddaughter has just come to the city from the countryside, and there are still many shortcomings in etiquette and rules. If you ask the eldest princess to give your granddaughter I'm afraid..."

Su Yunduo didn't say the rest of the words out of her mouth, she believed that Mrs. Lu would understand her incomplete meaning.

Sure enough, Old Madam Lu smiled and nodded to Su Yunduo and said, "Your child really has an exquisite heart with seven apertures as Zijian said!"

Su Yunduo choked slightly, how could this Lu Jinkang say such things to Mrs. Lu? !
After hearing Su Yunduo's words, Ning Shi was a little uneasy, seeing that Old Madam Lu was not angry with Su Yunduo at all, but praised Su Yunduo, she was very puzzled but did not dare to speak rashly.

But as long as the old lady is not angry, Ning feels that everything is safe, so she doesn't think about it, and just looks at old lady Lu silently.

Although Mrs. Lu proposed to Ning to choose one of the eldest princess and Mrs. Zhen Guogong as the official guest, after Ning left, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that it was inappropriate. However, the old lady felt a little embarrassed after she had already spoken. If you change your mind, you have to make the mistake or make the mistake, it just depends on how Ning or Su Yunduo chooses.

Su Yunduo's choice made old lady Lu heaved a sigh of relief.

Although she has friendship with the Eldest Princess, Su Yunduo is now her granddaughter, and she even brought Ning and Su Yunduo to the Elder Lord's lotus appreciation party, but this friendship is not enough to ask the Eldest Princess to give her a gift. Su Yunduo's Jiji ceremony is the honorable guest, of course it doesn't matter if Su Yunduo is related to the old lady by blood.

If the old lady knew what Ning Shi and Su Yunduo said, she might not hesitate to take a gamble and go to the Dachang Princess' mansion to invite the Dachang Princess to be the guest of honor.

Fortunately, Ning's words did not reach the old lady's ears, and Su Yunduo's answer at the moment was also very satisfactory to the old lady, and the choice of the main guest probably fell on Zhen Guogong's wife, An.

"Since everyone wants my sister-in-law to be the honorable guest, sister Duo will accompany me to the Zhen Guogong Mansion tomorrow. We have settled this matter earlier, so we can arrange the following matters." Mrs. Lu Glancing at the silent son and daughter-in-law, she made the final decision.

Ning had a suggestion in her heart, seeing that the old lady had decided on the guest of honor in a few words, she had no choice but to swallow her words.

Compared with the candidate in her heart, Mrs. Zhen Guogong is naturally better.

Su Yunduo recalled the exclamation she said to herself in the banquet hall of the main courtyard in the morning of Ning Shi, and she was afraid that she couldn't help but speak out what was in her heart. The old man is a big deal, so he always pays attention to Ning's movements, and sees that she has kept her mouth tightly shut and has not opened her mouth, so she breathes a long sigh of relief.

In the morning, Ning Shi once talked about her thoughts with Su Yunduo. Although Su Yunduo explained to Ning Shi the intention and reason why Mrs. Lu wanted to invite the eldest princess or Mrs. Zhen Guogong's wife to be the guest of honor, Ning Shi still felt that this was the case. The two candidates are too noble for Su Yunduo, but she hopes to find a talented female elder in the clan to be Su Yunduo's guest, and even thinks that Old Lady Lu is very suitable.

Because Ning Shi once heard Shi Shi say that the girls in the clan and the guests invited by Jili are mostly elders with both talents and virtues in the clan. There are only one such honorable candidates as the Lord and Mrs. Zhen Guogong.

Su Yunduo could understand Mrs. Lu's intentions, but because of her family's previous life experience, Ning was always worried that being too high-profile would be accused of being frivolous and ignorant of the seriousness.

"Sister Duo, do you have any candidates for praise and support?" Mrs. Lu looked at Su Yunduo and asked.

After Su Yunduo came to Beijing, even though she had participated in several banquets and met some girls, the old lady knew that there were not many girls who got close to her. Likers and Yuji will most likely choose between these two groups.

Su Yunduo smiled at the old lady Lu with some embarrassment and said: "Sister Miao and Sister Lin heard from somewhere that I was preparing for the funeral ceremony, and they came to the house to find me at noon, saying that they wanted to give me a compliment. Those who are involved and those who have divisions.”

Sister Miao and Sister Lin are both girls from the Su clan.

Sister Miao is the youngest daughter of the Shi family, she is two years older than Su Yunduo, she got engaged three years ago, and due to the husband's elder's death and filial piety, the wedding is scheduled for the beginning of next spring.

He probably got the news from Mrs. Shi, so he came to the mansion specially to tell Su Yunduo that he would be her praiser.

Sister Lin is the granddaughter of the Fifth Elder, one year younger than Su Yunduo, she is the best friend with Sister Miao, and naturally has a good relationship with Su Yunduo.

I heard that Sister Miao was going to be Su Yunduo's praiser, on the grounds that Sister Miao was already engaged, she insisted on competing with Sister Miao for this praise, but in the end she still won the praise, so she had to mumble With a small mouth and a puffy face, he decided to take the next best thing, and volunteered to be Yuji of the tray.

The old lady Lu laughed when she heard this: "That's very good!"
