Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 174 Meeting Again (2)
"You...why don't you do our business?" The girl was furious and wanted to say more, but was suddenly interrupted by the scholar——

"Little sister, shut up! Let's take mother to Tongrentang to see a doctor immediately, don't bother me anymore. I said, no matter what, I won't starve you, so there is no need to save this little money."

"Brother, don't listen to her nonsense. How can she know medical skills as a noble lady who calls for servants? She must have despised our shabby status and didn't want to do business with us, so she deliberately lied to us." The girl said anxiously.

The scholar did not continue to listen to what she said. Although he dotes on his younger sister, he would not make fun of his mother's life. He asked the girl to support his mother, and then bowed to Su Wan: "Ji Xi from Jiaxing Mansion, Zhejiang Province, thank you Madam for reminding me." .Madam’s kindness is written down below, if there is anything that needs to be written down, please feel free to speak up.”

Su Wan avoided his courtesy, bowed her body and said: "So it's Ji Ju, my concubine was rude. It's just a small effort, it's not worth mentioning."

Ji Xi said: "Just now my younger sister was rude to Madam, Xiaosheng apologized to Madam for my younger sister, please don't blame Madam."

Hearing this, Ji Suyue turned her head away, puffing her cheeks in anger.

"Ji Xiaolian doesn't need to be like this, I didn't take it to heart." Su Wan said with a smile: "It's better to take Lingtang to see a doctor as soon as possible, it would be bad if you delay."

Ji Xi was so anxious that he didn't dare to delay any longer. He directly turned his back on his mother, nodded to Su Wan, and went to Tongrentang.

Ji Suyue followed with her maid, and the book boy drove away in the mule cart.

"Finally left!" Chen Yaqin sighed and said, "It's not that I'm cruel, but this case must not be opened. If this case is opened, it will not be blocked in the future. How can our restaurant continue to open? Sister, Let's go, let's go shopping."

The veil on the head was not hot, the tulle was very breathable and covered the sun, but it was a bit hot after all when walking on the street, the two of them went to a few shops, and it was noon, it was very hot outside, so they went to the nearby I drank tea in the private room of the tea house, and ordered a table of refreshments and tea fruits.

The two took off their veiled hats, and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. It was too hot outside, and it was really unbearable to go shopping at this time.

Su Wan drank some tea first to quench her thirst, then ate a piece of flan and two small pieces of watermelon, and stopped eating.Chen Yaqin didn't eat much either, she ate two pieces of rose rolls and a few pieces of watermelon, and the girls shared the rest.

The two of them were talking, when a clerk in the restaurant suddenly came and said that there was someone in the Hou's mansion, and it seemed that something happened, so Madam Shizi should go back quickly.

Now, in Dingyuanhou's mansion, the housekeeper is Chen Yaqin, who is usually very busy, but this time, she deliberately left aside the affairs of the mansion and came to accompany Su Wan. How could she go back because of a message?Then he frowned and said, "Didn't I tell you? If there is anything else, put it aside and talk about it when I go back. If it's urgent, I'll go to my wife to deal with it. Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"

"The man from the mansion only said that there was something urgent, but he didn't tell me what it was? So, I don't even know about it." The guy said in embarrassment.

Chen Yaqin wanted to say more, but Su Wan said: "Since there is something to do in the house, sister Qin should go back first! I am familiar with this place, so I can just go shopping by myself later."

"This...but I promised to stay with my sister..." Chen Yaqin said a little embarrassed, since someone at home called her, it couldn't be a trivial matter, there are too many things to worry about in the house, she was indeed a little worried.However, she also didn't want to leave Su Wan here alone.

"Sister, why are you so outrageous between me and you? If you are here to accompany me, if you really delay the important matters in the mansion, then I will feel guilty! Besides, there is a girl by my side, nothing will happen. " Su Wan said.

Chen Yaqin thought for a while, then agreed, sighed and said: "Okay, I will leave a carriage and a few guards for my sister, and I will leave the carriage with my sister. It will be cheaper for my sister to go out in the future. As for the guards Go to my village to stay overnight, and come back tomorrow."

Su Wan smiled and said: "Sister, just leave me a carriage. Not only can I drive a carriage, but I'm also very good at kung fu. I don't need so many people to protect me, and it's not convenient to bring guards."

Chen Yaqin looked at Qingling in surprise when she heard the words, and said, "You are really a good girl!"

After thinking about it, she shook her head and said, "No, she is a woman after all, and she is just a person. If she encounters any danger, she may be hard-pressed with two fists, so let them follow her!"

Su Wan had no choice but to agree.

After all, Chen Yaqin was worried about something happening in the mansion, told Su Wan to be careful, and after going back earlier, she hurried away with the girl.

After Chen Yaqin left, Su Wan continued to stay in the private room. Anyway, it's hot outside and it's cooler in the teahouse, so there's no need to leave in a hurry.

Su Wan had someone clean up the table again, and served new tea, but she didn't ask for any other refreshments.

Just now I went shopping and bought a few pieces of jewelry, a Begonia Begonia flower bud, a pair of flower earrings, and a box of velvet flowers. There are ten pieces in total. Whether it is for myself or for a girl, it is good. Although it is not expensive, the workmanship is excellent. Very detailed.Su Wan was bored at this moment, so she asked Qing Ling to take it out again, and fiddled with it for a while.

"Qingling, which of the two velvet flowers do you think is the prettiest?" Su Wan took two velvet flowers of different colors, raised her head and asked Qingling, but when she saw the person coming, she was a bit stunned. Who is Emperor Xian De?But Qing Ling had already disappeared.

Su Wan sighed in her heart, she should have known that Qing Ling was unreliable, but she didn't expect that she would be so unreliable, she didn't even give a warning.

"In my opinion, these velvet flowers are not very good. Palace flowers are better. How can such rough things be worn on Madam's head?" Emperor Xian De walked to Su Wan's side and sat down while talking. .

At this moment, he was wearing a cloud white soft silk long summer gown with orchid flower pattern with wide sleeves, the cuffs were embroidered with the pattern of Chinese characters with silver thread, and the blue lotus and purple magnolia flowers inlaid with silver borders. He was holding a folding fan in his hand. , personable, imposing manner, very good looking.Sure enough, no matter how many times Su Wan looked at him, she still felt that Emperor Xiande was too deceitful. If she didn't know his identity, she might have really regarded him as a romantic young man who came to strike up a conversation.

"Things outside the palace are naturally incomparable to those in the palace." Su Wan put the velvet flowers in the box and put them aside, and said.

The velvet flowers in the palace are all made of brocade, a fabric used by the royal family.Yunjin has a saying that "an inch of brocade is an inch of gold". In the production process of Yunjin, the best quality silk is used as material, and the leftovers left over from cutting clothes are not suitable for use. It is a pity to discard them, so they are used to make velvet flowers. one serving.
