Mrs. Shizi, she is both wise and brave

Chapter 75 Persuasion
Su Jingning thought carefully about the situation in Prince Rui's Mansion.

Wen Sidi's elder brother Old Prince Rui had two sons in total.

The eldest son is the present Prince Rui Shen Che, and the second son is named Shen Lan.

There is also a daughter, Princess Furong.

Princess Furong and Shen Che are born of the same mother, and the mother is old Prince Rui's first wife Zhuang Shi.

After Zhuang's death, old Prince Rui married Zhou Shi, the younger sister of the present Empress Dowager, and gave birth to Shen Lan.

After the old Prince Rui also passed away, Shen Che inherited the seat of Prince Rui, but the family was not separated, and he still lived in Prince Rui's residence with his stepmother Zhou Shi and second brother Shen Lan's family.

Moreover, Shen Lingze's mother, Princess Rui, also passed away many years ago, and Shen Che never remarried. Now, Shen Lan's wife, Xiao Zhou, is in charge of Prince Rui's residence.

Thinking about it this way, one knows that Shen Lingze must have had a hard time in the palace.

Without the blessing of her mother when she was young, and without the support of her siblings, Su Jingning couldn't believe that Mrs. Zhou and Shen Lan's family didn't have any thoughts about Prince Rui.

And she remembered that Prince Rui seemed to have a very favored concubine side, who gave birth to a son and a daughter who were also highly valued.

In comparison, Shen Lingze is a loner except for the position of a prince.

Thinking of this, Su Jingning suddenly felt a little pitiful for him. After all, she still had the love and care of her father and grandparent's family, which was much better than him.

It's a pity that the world only sees his glamorous status, who cares whether he is happy or not!

Su Jingning lowered her head and touched the hand crossbow and couldn't help but sigh.

I am just a daughter of a small official family, my ability is really limited, and I have unrepented vengeance and unprotected relatives, so I can only support one or two secretly in my heart.

She put away the crossbow and told Nian Qing to find a way to plug the hole on the top of the door.

If it is discovered, it will be difficult to explain.

Nian Qing agreed.

Nian Yu handed it over with a list.

"Miss, here is the list of gifts received today."

Su Jingning nodded, and looked at it.

Only the gifts from the Qin family accounted for half of the gift list.

Up to Mrs. Qin, down to Qin Wushuang, and even Qin Huaiyu who was far away in the border gave her a gift. It was a piece of warm jade specially brought back by someone, and it was very comfortable to touch.

Su Jingning looked at the series of things under Qin Wushuang's name and shook her head helplessly: "Why did Wushuang send so much?"

Su Jingning was afraid that she would vacate the house.

"Miss Wushuang and Miss have a good relationship, so naturally they want to send some good things to Miss." Nian Qing smiled at the door.

Isn't my lady the same?They also often send things to the Qin Mansion.

Su Jingning was also familiar with her friend's personality, so she looked down after making some complaints, and frowned when she saw Su Jingyan's name.

She asked Nianyu to take out the hibiscus stone that Su Jingyan had given her.

Su Jingning has been engraving seals for several years, and has a lot of research on seal stones. She took the hibiscus stone and looked at it carefully. Seeing its fineness and fatness, she knew that the quality was excellent.

She thought for a while and sighed, "Third cousin must have taken out all his body to buy this seal stone."

At that time, when she was receiving presents in Songhuatang, she was quite busy, and she was thinking about other things, but she didn't notice that Su Jingyan gave her such a valuable thing.

"The third young master is kind-hearted, and the people in the mansion are really blind." Nian Yu leaned over to look at things, and sighed.

Su Jingning was silent for a while, and after making up her mind, she put the Yinshi into her toolbox.

The next day was the New Year, and Su Jingning went to Su Jingyan's small courtyard after paying New Year's greetings to her elders everywhere.

Even on the first day of the new year, Su Jingyan took a book and read it.

Seeing Su Jingning coming, he hurriedly put down his book and asked Guan Mo to prepare tea and snacks.

Su Jingning was also not polite to him, and after the two had paid their respects to each other, they asked, "Why is the third cousin who is still reading and not taking a break?"

Su Jingyan smiled slightly: "I'm not used to not reading a book when I have nothing to do."

Su Jingning blinked her eyes: "Third cousin works so hard, he will definitely pass the scientific examination."

Su Jingyan laughed and said, "Then let the third sister give me a good word."

Both of them became happy as they spoke.

After chatting for a while, Su Jingning took out a pouch from her sleeve pocket and handed it to Su Jingyan.

"What is this?" Su Jingyan took it curiously.

When I opened it, I was surprised.

Inside was a 100 tael bank note.

"I think you're short of money recently, and I happen to have a lot of money here, so I'll lend you some first." Su Jingning said.

Su Jingyan's face was not good-looking, and he pursed his lips for a long time before he could say a word.

"I'm not short of money, you can take it back." He said and handed the purse back.

Su Jingning knew at a glance that he had misunderstood.

She stretched out her hand to push her purse, and said, "Third cousin, you think too much."

She looked at Su Jingyan and said sincerely: "Although we are cousins, in my heart, you are just like a real brother."

Su Jingyan originally wanted to push the purse back, but he was startled when he heard this, and couldn't help but stop.

Su Jingning continued: "I believe third cousin you think so too, otherwise why would you bother to choose a gift for me?"

"And I think the better the relationship, the deeper the relationship, the less you can see outsiders. Now that you are having a difficult life, I will help you. When I encounter difficulties, won't the third cousin do his best?"

Su Jingyan was silent for a while when he heard this, and said, "But I have nothing to help Third Sister."

Su Jingning shook her head in disapproval: "How can the third cousin be so arrogant, even if he can't help me now, won't he be able to help me when he is in high school? I have never doubted the third cousin ability!"

Su Jingyan's heart warmed when he heard this, and his mood became a little agitated.

This is the first person who is so sure of him.

Other people in the house would only ridicule him, and even his third uncle, who was the best to him, would only praise him for "improved" and "good", and never said such absolute words.

Even he himself didn't have that much confidence in himself.

But the third sister said it without hesitation.

The corners of Su Jingyan's eyes were slightly moist, and he was still listening to Su Jingning's words in silence.

"My younger sister thinks that the third cousin can't just study well, but also have a good relationship with classmates who get along well, especially in the Imperial College, where many students will also be officials in the future.

At this time, I have a lot of contacts with them, and my cousin will also help me after he becomes an official in the future.But when we are in a relationship, it always costs a lot to have a party and eat. How can we do it without money? "

Su Jingyan was thoughtful after hearing her words.

Su Jingning saw that he was a little loose, and continued: "Besides, I also borrowed it from you, and I will pay it back with interest when my third cousin is in high school.

Sister, this is considered an investment, doesn't the third cousin want me to earn this money? "

These words made Su Jingyan laugh, he pursed his lips and nodded, "What the third sister said is indeed reasonable."

Hearing what he said, Su Jingning knew that he had figured it out, and she also laughed and said, "Don't stick to these details, the third cousin is really open-minded."
