Chapter 328
In the flower hall.
Yan Shi and Su Junning were helplessly surrounded by a group of female relatives. Seeing that they couldn't socialize, they temporarily escaped the encirclement under the pretext of going to change clothes.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law breathed a sigh of relief when they entered the garden and walked to a secluded place.
Looking at each other, they all laughed.
"It's terrible, I thought I could speak with this mouth, but I didn't expect that the nobles in Bianjing City are even more powerful!" Yan patted his chest.
Su Junning covered her lips, "I'm afraid there will only be a lot more after such a banquet, mother can't be more lazy."
The more prominent the Shen family is, the busier the two female relatives are.
Poetry gatherings, flower viewing banquets, birthday banquets, and treasure appreciation banquets are all commonplace.
Although it is not necessary to go to every house, most of them still have to go, otherwise people will inevitably be criticized for looking above the top.
Yan Shi glanced at her with a smile, walked slowly towards a flower bed not far away, and chatted in a low voice.
"It's a good thing you're here, I don't have to come out alone, otherwise how would I deal with it?"
"Mother has a keen mind, but she's just not used to it, it's good to come here a few more times."
Su Junning took Yan's arm.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were chatting, and saw a child running out from behind the rockery on the small road ahead, holding a small butterfly net in his hand, and came this way with a smile.
"Xin'er, Xin'er, slow down, the cobblestone road is slippery, be careful not to fall!"
"My lord, run slowly!"
Immediately afterwards, there was a sound of anxious women shouting, and behind the rockery, there was a pretty woman in a water blue long skirt, holding up the hem of the skirt, and hurriedly followed behind with a servant girl.
But the little boy was chasing a white butterfly, and he was having fun at the moment, and he couldn't hear the shouts, so he kept running on his short legs.
Su Junning saw that the child's eyes were only on the butterfly and didn't pay attention to his feet, so he hurried forward to protect him.
Sure enough, the child staggered, and the person rushed to the ground. Fortunately, Su Junning was prepared, squatted down at the right time, and caught the person.
Throwing into Xiangruan's arms, the child was startled, there was no pain, but she didn't cry, she just raised her head, raised a pair of black grape-like eyes, and looked at Su Junning curiously.
Only then did Su Junning realize that it was a little boy.
It's no wonder she wasn't sure before, firstly because the child is young, and secondly because the child is wearing sky blue clothes, this color is suitable for both boys and girls.
"Xin'er, you kid, really!"
A panicked and anxious woman rushed over from behind, glared at the child panting, and then immediately saluted Su Junning.
"Thank you Madam, the child is naughty and unreasonable, and offended Madam, Madam please forgive me."
Although they didn't know each other, seeing that Su Junning was dressed as a woman, she called her Madam.
Can't go wrong.
"It's okay, children are always more playful." Su Junning smiled, straightened the boy, and stood up by herself, "The child should be fine, but it's more reassuring to check it."
The woman nodded, took the boy by the hand again, and bowed her head to give instructions.
"Thank you soon, how did Ping Ri Niang teach you?"
The little boy tilted his head, glanced at Su Junning, then spoke in a sweet voice, and bowed like an adult.
"Thank you sister!"
"puff--"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Shi who was standing behind Su Junning laughed.
Her smile eased the atmosphere, and everyone laughed along.
Su Junning frowned, leaned over and patted the child's head.
"Little son, I'm about the same age as your mother, how can I be worthy of being a big sister?"
Probably a little shy from being laughed at by everyone, the little boy blushed and hid behind his mother, only showing a pair of eyes.
The woman had no choice but to salute Su Junning and Yan Shi again.
"Today, the youngest son bumped into two distinguished guests, why don't we move to the flower hall, and I will personally apologize to you two."
She used the word "guest" to describe it, and Su Junning and Yan Shi looked at each other and guessed that this should be the host's house.
But the daughters-in-law of Mrs. Xiao's wife have all met in the flower hall, so this one.
Taking a closer look, the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar to Xiao's, Su Junning thought about it, and asked with a smile.
"Madam is the eldest lady of the county government?"
The woman was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, and then smiled embarrassedly.
"I don't know who you two are? I'm ashamed to say that after I got married, I went to Anzhou with my husband for a few years. At the beginning of this year, my husband was transferred back to Bianjing to work. I just came back. I'm not very familiar with the city."
Su Junning also smiled back, and briefly introduced Yan and herself.
After this Miss He Yuhan learned about it, she became more polite.
For no other reason, she had already heard from her mother, Xiao Shi, that the Shen and Su families in Beijing were now prominent, and that they intended to make friends.
Her husband, Li Meng, worked as a doctor in the Ministry of Officials, and when he was promoted, he became a servant of the Ministry of Officials, so it was quite different.
But Li's family is not considered prominent, so they can't help much. Although my mother's family is the county government, and there is a grandmother who is the eldest princess, she has not been involved in the affairs of the court for many years, and there is no help.
If she can make friends with the Shen family and the Su family, it will naturally be beneficial to her husband's career.
And my mother also said earlier that today I will intentionally let her entertain and take this opportunity to get close.
Unexpectedly, this person who hit him by mistake, actually met with the above in private first.
Seizing the opportunity, naturally she couldn't miss it. He Yuhan immediately asked the maid to take the child away, and then she personally dragged Su Junning and Yan Shi to sit in the side hall.
Why is it a side hall? On the surface, it is said that Yan Shi and Su Junning don't like to be disturbed by people, but in fact, one can guess that it is to avoid disturbance from others.
But there is nothing wrong with being a little cautious, Su Junning doesn't mind.
Moreover, after getting in touch with He Yuhan, I can see that this person is not someone with evil intentions, and it is pleasant to talk to him.
After all, although the Shen family and the Su family didn't say they want to form a party and expand their wings, it is also in their own interest to make friends with some upright officials who are useful.
Although there is a saying that a big tree attracts the wind, there is also the truth that a big tree has deep roots, intertwined and difficult to shake.
This sitting is half an hour.
Just when He Yuhan saw that it was almost done, and was about to lead them to the flower hall for a banquet, there was a knock on the door first from outside.
"Sister? Are you in there?"
"Ma'am, it's Miss San." The maid beside He Yuhan whispered.
He Yuhan nodded, and waved for the maid to open the door.
Not long after, a playful girl in a peach pink dress came in from the outside.
It was He Yushu, the third daughter of the concubine of Changping County.
After entering, he looked at the people in the room, and saluted respectfully.
Then he smiled and said.
"Eldest sister, mother asked me to tell you that there is already a banquet in the yard, let me invite elder sister, Mrs. Shen and Mrs. Young over."
"Got it, you go first, we'll come later." He Yuhan nodded gently.
He Yushu bowed, and obediently withdrew.
Yan finished drinking the tea in his hand, exchanged a glance with Su Junning, then got up and walked out of the side hall with He Yuhan, towards the stage.
