The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 225 From now on, Xiao Lang is a passerby?
Xiuyan is the kind of person who is strong in her bones. The Song family obviously came with bad intentions, but she accepted the invitation card politely. Everyone in the front gave a heavy purse, and the four women in charge who were happy could hardly keep their mouths shut, and their steps when they went out became more and more light.

Xiuyan returned to the inner courtyard calmly, and as soon as she entered the house, she saw her mother Lu coaxing Fu Geer. The big kang by the window was covered with dolls of various colors, and Fu Geer was holding a vivid silk rabbit in both hands. There is a pitiful little tiger under his white buttocks.As soon as the little meatball saw his sister entering the door, he grinned open his mouth, revealing the four bright white front teeth, and then began to smile at Xiuyan. He let go of his hand with a "snap", and the little rabbit fell down in response. Looking at him again, Bai Heliang Two short arms tied like wings for Xiuyan to hug.

Fu Ge'er's hair is very soft, like the fluff of a newborn duckling. Xiuyan sat over and stroked it gently: "You tough boy, why don't you take a nap?"

Meilian and Miying rushed over to clean up the odds and ends on the kang, but Lu Shi waved his hands: "You all go out, let's talk together, mother three."

Fu Geer didn't know if he understood. As soon as Lu's words fell, he nodded solemnly, and very reservedly straightened his small waist covered in flesh, and his two short legs were very comfortable to prepare Plate together.It's a pity. Little Rouwanzi overestimated his own strength, so he put on his pose. Before he understood what was going on, he saw his big head sank, his little feet struggled twice, and then he fell back hard .

Fortunately, Xiuyan had quick hands and quick eyes, and there were many mats laid out on the kang, so Fu Geer didn't get ruthless.

When the little guy saw his mother and sister looking at him with a bit of unkindness, he pretended to yawn and plunged his head into Lu Shi's arms bit by bit.Lu Shi laughed and scolded: "This little thing has a strange wink."

Although the weather was getting hotter, Xiuyan still didn't dare to take it lightly, and still pulled a thin blanket to cover Fu Geer's body.

The room was considered clean, so Lu Shi asked, "What does the Song family mean?"

Xiuyan smiled faintly, and unhurriedly passed the post from Grandma Song to Lu Shi from her sleeve.Lu frowned: "Suyu? Why does it sound like a boy's name?"

"It's nothing strange. Some people give up some humble names for fear that their children will not be able to support them, or raise them as boys since childhood. I think this Gao Suyu should be loved by his parents."

Mrs. Lu pondered for a while, then threw the post on the kang casually: "I am worried that I will not have a chance to meet Mrs. Song. Since she invited me, let's go. Not only will we go, but we will also go in a decent way, so that the Song family can know about it." The 'sincerity' of our family."

Whatever Lu wanted to do in his heart, there was nothing he couldn't do.The next day, the Xing family secretly invited the shopkeepers of the eight major silk and satin shops in the capital to Fengwei Hutong.

Xiuyan was not idle either, she quietly asked people to find out who this Gao Suyu was.

In less than half a day, the housekeeper found out clearly.It turned out that Mrs. Song's natal family was very prominent, and Song Chen's second brother married a cousin from the Gao family.Gao Suyu's father is Mrs. Song's cousin, and the relationship is not far away, but this cousin has studied hard for more than ten years, but he only got the reputation of a scholar, and is not valued by the family.On the contrary, he gave birth to a decent daughter, this Gao Suyu.It is said that this girl is very talented and famous, and although her appearance is only delicate, her writing is excellent, and I don't know how many scholars came to her hometown to ask for it.

Gao Suyu's father felt that his daughter should not be buried in his hometown, so he wrote a letter to Mrs. Song, hoping that Mrs. Song could support her niece and find a noble husband's family for Suyu in the capital. .

After listening to the butler's words, Xiuyan smiled slightly: "How does Miss Gao usually dress?"

The housekeeper smiled and said, "Miss Gao, whether intentionally or not, heard that white shirts are worn throughout the year, and she often dresses up without a face. Master Gao is not only not angry, but even indulges her daughter's appearance. According to those scholars, , everyone who has seen Miss Gao as a human being praises her for being extraordinary and unworldly."

Xiuyan couldn't look up to her smile: "Could it be that you really think you're a little dragon girl?" The housekeeper, Meilian and Mio who were serving beside her couldn't figure out who the "little dragon girl" the girl was talking about, but it wasn't easy to find out at this time.But it can be seen that the girl is in a good mood, and it probably has something to do with this little dragon girl.

The housekeeper hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Miss, when I went to inquire about this Miss Gao, I happened to meet Song Qianhu's captain. The younger one didn't hide it, so he told Miss Gao about the post to the girl. I don't know if I violated the girl's taboo?" By the end of the housekeeper's words, he had already lost his confidence.

Xiuyan smiled and said: "It's okay, Miss Gao is Miss Gao, Song Qianhu is Song Qianhu, it's not a big deal even if you tell Song Qianhu about things that are out of reach. We didn't force them Posted above, Miss Gao came to invite us. By the way, I asked you to prepare a gift."

The housekeeper hurriedly said: "Mrs. Song and her two young mistresses have already made preparations, but that Miss Gao doesn't know how to take care of it."

Steward Xing knew that the girl didn't want to be overwhelmed by others, so this gift must be generous, but it must not appear vulgar, it must be innovative, and it must be attractive in front of Mrs. Song and the two young mistresses.In this way, the housekeeper seemed very embarrassed.

Xiuyan understood: "I just came up with an idea. The presiding judge for this exam is Mr. Qiao, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, and the deputy presiding judge is Cao Yu, a scholar of the Hanying Temple. This Mr. Cao Yu is not only good at writing, but also writing She has excellent cursive script, which even the Supreme Emperor praised. I will give her a copy of Mr. Cao Yu’s handwriting."

Steward Xing and others secretly smiled, Gao Suyu's father failed in many trials, and his daughter became famous among scholars, so it would be interesting to give them Master Cao Yu's calligraphy.

But Steward Xing was puzzled: "The villain heard that Mr. Cao Yu's writing is hard to find, except for one or two pieces in the family of a close friend, you can't see it on the market."

Meilian smiled and said, "A while ago, Master Cao Yu gave the Fifth Prince a copy of "Encouraging Learning", and His Highness forwarded it to our girl."

Butler Xing narrowed his eyes: "This has a good meaning! You don't have to bother to find anything else, this is the best."

The mansion is busy for the visit to Song's house in two days, not to mention how to "prepare" here, but only that Song Chen learned that Gao Suyu was going to invite Xing Xiuyan to go boating across the mansion, his face was so dark that he could wring out water.

Seeing this, his personal servant hurriedly said in a low voice: "Back to the third master, I heard that it was the eldest young mistress who kept praising Miss Xing in front of Miss Gao, that's why Miss Gao thought about meeting her."

Song Chen smiled coldly: "My sister-in-law has no other skills. She is a top-notch expert at fanning the flames and fueling the flames. It's a pity for a person like my elder brother.!"

The servant laughed and said: "Master is not a foolish person. Although he is tolerant to grandma in small things, but when it comes to big things, grandpa will not let grandma mess around. Besides, the eldest house can't control our third room. The master naturally understands what grandma thinks, as long as the third master has made up his mind, wouldn't grandma force you to marry Miss Gao?"

It is said that the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, but the eldest grandma and Song Chen are only three or four years apart in age.There is a mother-in-law above her, if she stretches her hand too long and worries too much about her uncle's marriage, it will make people doubt her intentions and behavior.

Song Chen thought about it, and went to the outer study to find his father Song Lian.

In the evening, Mrs. Song sent the two daughter-in-laws to leave early, and she wanted to leave Gao Suyu to talk, and her husband Song Lian entered the room.

"Master is staying in the upper room today?" Mrs. Song was slightly surprised. She and her husband had been separated for a long time. Except for the big day, Song Lian would stay with her in the study or go to the room of two concubines.

Song Lian nodded at his wife, and his eyes fell on Gao Suyu.

Gao Suyu panicked, and hurriedly got up to say goodbye: "Uncle and Auntie have a good rest, Suyu is going back first."

Mrs. Song complained when the little girl went out, "Master, what are you doing to scare that child!" Song Lian didn't hesitate, and asked directly: "It was your idea that she invited Mrs. Xing's family and the girl to come to the house. ?”

Mrs. Song saw that her husband was not in a good mood, so she patiently explained: "Since Suyu came to Beijing, she has never been out of the house, and she has not made many close friends. I saw that the girl from the Xing family is very nice, so she I want the two of them to walk around. Taking advantage of the good weather, I also posted a message to see Cheng's family, and invite Mrs. Cheng Shangshu to sit down."

"Confused!" Song Lian flicked his sleeve robe: "Can't you see what Gao Suyu thinks about the third child? You just mixed up Miss Xing's family in it. What on earth does the Xing family think about us?"

Mrs. Song was even angrier: "What can I tell? My son never kisses me, who knows which girl he likes! Besides, what's wrong with Suyu, she has a scholarly family, well-behaved, and knows how to please others." , I wish she could be my daughter-in-law."

Song Lian smiled coldly: "It was already my bottom line to ask the second child to marry your niece. The third child is the most promising one among them. I will not let her marry a woman who will not help him in any way."

Mrs. Song only felt that her husband's few words made her fall into the abyss: "The second daughter-in-law has always been respectful to you, father-in-law, and filial to me, my mother-in-law. Their little husband and wife are harmonious and beautiful, and they have never had any trouble. Zui, she gave birth to two more grandchildren, why is she in the way of your eyes! Could it be that because I am not the person you like in your heart, do you think that the women in our Gao family are all dwarfs and deserve to be trampled by you?"

"What are you talking about! Have I ever said anything about my second daughter-in-law!"

Song Lian's tone softened: "I will ask someone to pay attention to Gao Suyu to see if there is a suitable family in this capital. In short, the female family members of the Xing family are very friendly, so I also ask your niece to behave."

Song Lian turned to leave, Mrs. Song was anxious, without thinking, she said: "If you put more love for the young master of the Qi family on the three sons, why is Song Chen still on the list?"

Song Lian's face darkened, and he turned to stare at his wife coldly.
