The Red Mansion is so charming

Chapter 229
Song Chen yelled aggrieved, but the more delicious the little girl in front of him was, the more satisfied he felt.The ripples on the surface of the lake rushed towards the boat one after another. It turned out that there were six or seven white geese floating on the water, swimming in a team with red flippers.Seeing the boat, those white geese didn't panic, instead they leisurely moved forward, and when they got close to the side of the boat, they rolled their small eyes and looked at the two of them curiously.

Song Chen chuckled: "Gao Suyu is an irrelevant person. If I promise her a good marriage tomorrow, she will naturally not stay in the Song family. Besides, my mother just thinks that she is smarter than those nieces, so she decided to marry her." It is very important, and I don't really want to call her a daughter-in-law."

Xiuyan lowered her head and thought about the scene in the big flower hall just now, and it was indeed what Song Chen said.When Gao Suyu vaguely showed signs of competing with her, Mrs. Song suppressed it indifferently.At first, Xiuyan only thought it was Mrs. Song's behavior to maintain her dignity in front of the two Shangshu wives, but now after listening to Song Chen's analysis, she became more convinced.

"Since Mrs. Song didn't have this plan, why did you let Gao Suyu live in your house? Besides, don't you know what those wives and young wives said? They all said." Xiuyan snorted sourly: "They said that your family is planning to hold a wedding It's over!"

Song Chen laughed, and the driver on the other side of the boat involuntarily took a sneak peek at her, and suddenly met the warning eyes of her third master, she couldn't stand still in a panic, and almost fell into the water from the side of the boat.

Song Chen looked away from a distance, smiled and said to Xiuyan, "It's true that there is a wedding, but the bride is not Gao Suyu." After speaking, his eyes began to stare at Xing Xiuyan.

Xiuyan curled her lips secretly, ignoring Song Chen's eager anticipation.She is not looking forward to any candlelight dinner, diamond ring and red wine.But at least there must be a token of marriage proposal!This guy stared at him with a pair of big eyes, could it be that he wanted to ask himself to take the initiative?
Xiuyan frowned irritably.Song Chen realized that something might be wrong, suddenly patted his head, and hurriedly unloaded a purple white crane purse from his waist. The purse was light and flat, and if there was a gust of wind, it could fly away with the wind.Xiuyan didn't expect any shocking big things to be pulled out of it, after all, that purse was there!
She was cursing, when suddenly a white light flashed in front of her eyes, piercing her eyes with pain.

"What are you holding in your hand?" Xiuyan was about to rub her eyes when she saw Song Chen pulling her right hand and putting a hollow twisted silk ring inlaid with diamonds on Xiuyan's finger.

Although this ring is forged from pure gold, it doesn't look old at all.Twelve clusters of flowers are hollowed out on the small golden ring, and there are four small bats flying inside the clusters of flowers.The bat is the incarnation of "blessing", and there are many good expectations for the hostess in the ring.This exquisite craftsmanship has been tempered for at least 30 to [-] years.

It doesn't matter, what is more eye-catching is a huge golden diamond inlaid on the top of the ring.

Xiuyan was both surprised and delighted: "Where did you get this?"

Song Chen held Xiuyan's hand and looked up and down without getting bored. After hearing her question, he smiled and said, "Southeast is a good place to make a fortune. There are countless rare and rare treasures. This is Franz's merchant ship in Xiancheng Hong Kong Xiao respects the admiral of the navy. I remember that Mrs. Xing wore such a ring all year round, so she asked the fifth prince quietly. His Highness said that this is the Xing family's own rules, because the ring is the witness of a marriage for a lifetime."

Song Chen stared at her with burning eyes, and said in a firm tone, "I hope this ring can also become our witness."

The size of the ring is surprisingly suitable, and the diamonds on it seem to be happy to find the most suitable hostess for the ring, refracting all kinds of light extremely brightly.

Xiuyan bowed her head for a long time, and when the voice calling her name gradually sounded from the shore, Xiuyan nodded cautiously to Song Chen.That fellow Yile suddenly stood up and was about to pick up Xiuyan. Although this boat is called a painting boat, it is actually just a boat with a roof. Song Chen's hull shook quickly, scaring Xing Xiuyan's face. The big change, I wish I could kick him.

Poor Song Qianhu, the famous and vicious governor, immediately sat down obediently, lest he would offend the beautiful woman again.

Meilian and Mio pretended to yell with the Song family on the shore, and the women who followed the Song family were terrified. If Miss Xing was lost because of their dereliction of duty, Grandma would beat them to death.

"Girls, where did Miss Xing go? Did she go to the Dahua Hall?" The women couldn't find Xing Xiuyan anymore, so they went to the Dahua Hall with the determination to die.

Just when Mio was about to speak, Meilian hurriedly pointed to a small boat wobbling out of the lotus bushes in the distance: "Look, isn't that our girl!"

Everyone was startled, and hurriedly followed the prestige to look, and they saw a pretty lady on the boat.

The mother-in-law placed the boat on the shore, and the mother-in-law of the Song family hurried over to help fix the pedals, one of them apologized and said with a smile: "Miss Xing went to swim in the lake, so it was easy for us to find it, and I just pretended that you had already gone back. "

Xiuyan smiled lightly: "I saw on the curved bridge that the mother's boat held up very well, and the lotus pond in the depths was beautiful, so I couldn't help but entered the lake. It was indeed my fault that I made some nuns worry about me. "

The mothers-in-law of the Song family felt embarrassed, and saw that the boat was accompanied by the driver, and the journey was safe and sound, without any symptoms of falling into the water, so they surrounded Xing Xiuyan and returned to the Dahua Hall.As soon as he entered the room, he heard Gao Suyu's cheerful laughter.

"Sister Xing, why did you just come back? We were talking about sister Xiaodie making a joke just now!" Gao Suyu enthusiastically came over and pulled Xiuyan to sit next to Xiaodie.

Miss Xiaodie's face is not pretty, she smiles very forcedly.

Xiuyan smiled faintly, and Mrs. Song took offense at Gao Suyu: "You child, why didn't you bring Miss Xing to play in your room just now?"

Gao Suyu's watery eyes were pitiful, while looking at Xing Xiuyan, she explained to Mrs. Song and everyone: "It's sister Xing who doesn't want to go, and I do."

Everyone looked at Xing Xiuyan suspiciously.The two girls get along well, so is Xing Xiuyan at odds with them?Or is it that the good reputation of the eldest daughter of the Xing family is all a disguise?
Xiuyan calmed down, turned a blind eye to everyone's gaze, just smiled and said to Mrs. Song: "Miss Gao is very enthusiastic, but I like the lotus pond at Mrs.'s house, so I took the mother-in-law's painting boat to play for a while."

Only then did Mrs. Song nodded in satisfaction. After all, Gao Suyu was only her natal niece. After thinking about it all night yesterday, Mrs. Song still felt that it was important to make up for the poor relationship with her third son.Instead of forcing Gao Suyu to Song Chen, it is better to follow his son's wishes, and the third daughter-in-law buys his favor. In the future, Mrs. Song will not be afraid of the eldest daughter-in-law becoming powerful.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Song said with a smile: "Speaking of painting boats, let's take a trip to the upper reaches of the lake. By the way, we will have lunch on the boat. Let's eat wine and enjoy the scenery. What do you think?"

Everyone praised it as interesting, Grandma Song hurriedly asked people to get the big painting ready.Everyone talked and laughed and walked out.The juniors were at the end, Gao Suyu had quick eyesight, and grabbed Xing Xiuyan who was about to go out: "Thank you sister for helping me out just now. If it weren't for you, my aunt would definitely blame me again."

Xiuyan pulled back her forearm, and smiled: "Miss Gao, you are being polite, besides, I am telling the truth, if you are punished because of this, I will have a bad conscience."

Gao Suyu turned a deaf ear to it, her eyes fixed on the ring.Not only did he look carefully, but he also planned to pick it up.Xiuyan hid, Gao Suyu said unnaturally: "I see the ring on Sister Xing's hand so familiar, as if I've seen it somewhere before."

"Ms. Gao, maybe she remembers it wrong? Not everyone has this thing," Xiuyan said with a pun, and the corner of her mouth curled into a smile, but the smile didn't reach her eyes at all.

Gao Suyu dared to conclude that the thing was what he saw at cousin Song Chen's place.

Not only her, even Second Grandma Song had seen it.Second Grandma Song even asked her cousin to marry her, not only did she not get it, but she also had a good meal of cynicism, so Gao Suyu was very impressed with this ring.

She thought about it for a while, and she was sure that when she first met Xing Xiuyan, the other party didn't have this thing on her finger at all. It must be that when they separated just now, the other party met cousin Song Chen.

Gao Suyu ruthlessly bit the tender flesh on the cheek, and the bite was bloody and sweet in the mouth.

Xiuyan smiled and said, "I'm afraid the boat is about to sail, do you want Miss Gao to come with me?"

Xiao Die, who was standing not far away, looked here worriedly, and when Xing Xiuyan walked away, she ran over: "What did you say to her again? I see that your complexion has become very bad."

Gao Suyu held her breath and remained silent, her cheeks were bulging.

"Sister Gao, didn't I tell you that Xing Xiuyan is not an ordinary person, and you are not her opponent at all. I advise Sister Gao to give up, so as not to offend Xing Xiuyan because of this, and cause trouble for you."

Gao Suyu sneered: "You're afraid of her, but I'm not afraid of her. She's just the daughter of a fourth-rank official. Does she have any superpowers?"

Xiaodie took a half step back anxiously, she wanted to join hands with Gao Suyu to deal with Xing Xiuyan, but she never thought of hurting him.Now Gao Suyu's eyes flashed madness, Xiaodie became scared instead, so she ran away.

Later, when Grandma Song seated the three girls at the banquet on the boat, Xiaodie insisted on being next to Xing Xiuyan and refused to be by Gao Suyu's side.

The warm wind made people feel intoxicated, and the wives were very harmonious, chatting about their respective attires, recent anecdotes in the capital, the marriage of the seventeenth princess, and the selection of concubines by the empress for the princes.

The latter is the most interesting.

Mrs. Qiao has frequent contacts with the concubines in the palace, so the news is the most well-informed.Mrs. Qiao got the news first when Qiao Shangshu was still kept in the dark about many matters in the palace.

It's like choosing concubines for the second and third princes this time.

Mrs. Qiao said with a smile: "Whoever is caring in the palace can be seen at a glance. Look at the concubine Yuan, who was favored twice, and now she has brought her cousin into the palace. The concubine , isn’t it also a masterpiece of Fengzao Palace?”
