Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 223 Marriage (1)
Hearing this, Su Wan paused with a smile on her face, and took a sneak peek at her, realizing that she had never seen her before, but she had expected this situation, and she was not flustered, she shook her head slightly and said, "Probably not, this is This is my first time in the capital, my cousins ​​and sisters have been to Guide Mansion before?"

Mrs. Wu shook her head and said, "I have never been out of the capital, let alone the Guide Mansion. However, my cousin looks very similar to someone I know."

After a pause, she frowned again and said, "I can't say I know her, I just saw her once in a while."

Su Wan thought about it and was sure that she had never seen her before. However, it is also possible that her predecessor had seen her.

Su Wan was about to speak, but she heard Yu Shi, the wife of Marquis of Lingbi, say: "Third siblings, please don't lie, my cousin is so outstanding, how can ordinary people compare to her?"

Mrs. Wu said a little dissatisfied: "Sister-in-law, I really must have seen it before, it is that Mrs. Chang Wuhou."

Everyone has heard of Mrs. Changwuhou's name. After all, this Mrs. Changwuhou had just been buried, and the Lingbihou Mansion also sent people to offer condolences.However, now, it is really unlucky for Wu to mention the name of a dead person.

Mrs. Lingbihou's expression had become very ugly, and Shizi's wife, Mrs. Yu, quickly changed the subject and said, "Ma'am, my cousin must be tired after traveling for so many days, why don't I let my cousin rest for a while, and then I will give it to you in the evening." Cousin takes the wind and washes away the dust, what do you think?"

Although Madam Lingbihou still wanted to get close to Su Wanduo, but after thinking about it, she felt that what she said was right, so she nodded. Anyway, my niece has already picked it up, so I can talk slowly if I have anything to say.

"Okay, take your sister down to see where she lives, and if you're not satisfied, we'll change it." Madam Lingbihou ordered.

Mrs. Lingbihou arranged Su Wan in the three huts behind the main house. The lady of the Hou Mansion was supposed to live here, but Mrs. Lingbihou only gave birth to two sons. I don't have the energy to take care of those concubines, so I let those concubines live with their aunts, and the Baosha here has always been empty.

Although the Baosha is empty, it is usually cleaned by someone, at least it can be settled after a little tidying up.However, Madam Lingbihou didn't want to wrong Su Wan, and all the furniture and furnishings inside were replaced with the best ones.

When she received the letter from her niece, Mrs. Lingbihou had already started packing, and added a lot of things to it one after another.

The three buildings are interlinked, separated by floor-to-ceiling hoods, with light green curtains hanging inside. In the middle is the hall, with a round table, several drum stools, and a set of tea sets on it. There is a kang sitting on the north wall. , with sitting mats and kang tables.The east room is the bedroom. Facing the hall is a vermilion lacquered six-poster canopy bed with a door around it. A gauze curtain made of pine green soft smoke is hung on it. There is a light stand at the head of the bed with a small lantern hanging on it. There is a four-panel partition screen in front of the bed, and there is a narrow kang near the south window, which is the bed where the maid on duty sleeps.In addition, there are dressing tables and basin shelves and so on.

The east room is a study room with desks and bookshelves.On the book table are various celebrity scriptures, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, pen holders of various colors, note paper, etc. There is also a table for imperial concubines near the window, and there is even a mahogany table on the north side with a guqin on it.

After seeing it, Su Wan also felt very satisfied. It seems that this Mrs. Lingbi Hou really loves her niece sincerely, and her intentions can be seen everywhere.

Shi Zi's wife, Yu Shi, saw that Su Wan looked very satisfied, and felt a little relieved. After all, if the other party was picky and troublesome, she would be the one who suffered.

But when she thought about Su Wan's background, she felt relieved.It must be because she has never seen anything good before. Seeing such an environment and residence, she can only be happy, so why would she be dissatisfied?
Thinking so, Yu said a few more polite words to Su Wan, and then left.

After a while, a servant girl came over with snacks and tea, and Mama Ding brought the best embroiderer in the mansion to measure Su Wan's size and remake clothes, etc. After another round of tossing, Su Wan was finally quiet here down.

The three masters and servants looked at each other, smiled slightly, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Now they have finally passed the first level.Su Wan looked around, thinking that she was still in the Zhuangzi in the suburbs yesterday, and now she has transformed into Madam Lingbihou's niece and lived in the Hou's mansion. Thinking about it, this experience is quite strange.

Su Wan came to the Hou Mansion this time, except for a few sets of clothes and a few pieces of jewelry, she didn't bring anything else.I didn't bring any of those precious things with me, and there was nothing to clean up.

Fortunately, Mrs. Lingbihou prepared some daily necessities for her early, and even all kinds of cosmetics, hairpins and rings were also prepared, all of which were first-class good things.

After that, Mrs. Lingbihou sent someone to bring over several sets of clothes, all of which were newly made.Because I didn't know Su Wan's size before, the ones made didn't fit well. After seeing Su Wan, I ordered someone to modify it a little, and then sent it over again.

After Su Wan thanked her, she accepted it, and before going to pay her respects, she changed into the clothes and jewelry Madam Lingbihou sent——

Yuebai flower cross-neck bezel, blue floor-length dress, hairpin with emerald flower branches and phoenix tail hairpin, sapphire dragonfly head flower, emerald ginkgo leaf earrings, a light blue silk flower on the sideburns, and a The emerald jade bracelet is plain, elegant, yet dignified. After all, it can't embarrass Mrs. Lingbihou.

Madam Lingbihou was very happy after seeing Su Wan's attire.After all, she couldn't understand Su Wan's shabby attire before. She only felt that she had a long face when Su Wan was well dressed.Su Wan came early, before everyone came, she pulled Su Wan to talk for a long time, mostly asking about her previous life experiences, things about her mother and so on.

It wasn't that she doubted Su Wan's identity, but out of concern. Fortunately, Su Wan had already done enough homework, so she was able to handle it with ease.

Mrs. Lingbihou learned that although her younger sister suffered some hardships at the beginning, she lived a peaceful and beautiful life after she got married, and she felt less sad. She patted Su Wan's hand and said: "You are now three years of filial piety. It's full, and I'll officially take off my filial piety in a few days! At that time, my aunt will help you find a good man to marry, and I will feel at ease."

It's no wonder Madam Lingbihou is anxious, after all, Su Wan is old, if she drags on, she won't be able to find a good family no matter how beautiful she is when she gets older, and she can't bear to let her niece be wronged.

Others don't know about Su Wan's situation, but is she still not clear about it?She wanted to tell her that she didn't want to marry, but Mrs. Lingbi Hou's tone was very firm, obviously she didn't allow Su Wan to refute at all, so Su Wan could only swallow her words back.

The two talked for a while, and the servant suddenly reported, "Master Hou is here."

Upon hearing this, Madam Lingbihou immediately pulled Su Wan to stand up and said, "Come on, I'll take you to meet your uncle, they are all from my own family, so don't be too formal."
