Chapter 25: Chapter 24
Chapter 25 Chapter 24·First meeting
It has been sunny in the capital for several days in a row, and the New Year is almost here. All the lanterns hung at home last year have been taken down and are waiting to be put on new lantern paper. The open space by the lake has been cleared out to make a place for drying curtains.
There are busy servants everywhere.
Su Xingxuan went out and was faced with the dazzling sunshine. She covered her eyes with her hands. After a while, she looked at the field of poppies that had bloomed on the grass early and slowly squinted her eyes.
Seeing her stop, Yong Ge hurriedly asked her if she was still feeling uncomfortable: "You caught a cold and haven't been feeling well these past few days. If you really can't do it, don't force it. Tell your wife, she will definitely be able to do it."
Considerate.”
Today is the day when Su Yao comes back. Because Mrs. He and the He family's aunt are here together, the whole Su family is busy. The kitchen starts boiling water before dawn to prepare for today's reception banquet.
Yongge sighed in her heart, knowing that Su Xingxuan would definitely not be happy on a day like today.
Su Xingxuan's eyes were cold, and through the light, she seemed to be able to see completely different scenes in her dream.
What was the scene like when Su Yao came back? She actually forgot. Also, how could Su Yao in the dream deserve such a grand reception from the Su family? Speaking of which, Su Yao really wanted to thank her. If she hadn't wanted to avoid it,
In the conflict between Cheng Ding'an and Su Yu, how could Su Yu get such treatment?
After gathering herself, she shook her head: "No need, my grandmother and aunt are coming from afar, and my sister is coming home for the first time in so many years. How could I not come out to greet her?"
Is it uncomfortable to bow your head to a worthless girl?
Of course it's uncomfortable.
But if you lose the favor of the third wife and the third master because of a small mistake, you will be even more intolerable.
There will be more opportunities to deal with that idiot in the future, and there is no need for her to argue about the shortcomings of this moment - what is there to care about a loser?
Mrs. Su San has already dressed up. Today she is wearing a bright red cotton-padded jacket with gold embroidery and an azure horse-faced skirt underneath. She looks rich and elegant, and you can tell at a glance that she has put a lot of thought into it.
Mrs. Su San was very excited after not seeing her mother for many years, and from time to time she would ask people to go out to find out where the carriage was.
Seeing Su Xingxuan coming over, the smile on her face deepened, and she personally straightened out a begonia flower belt made of thin gold sheets tied around Su Xingxuan's waist, and said: "Speaking of which, you were born
"Your grandmother hugged you back then, but more than ten years have passed in a flash, and you haven't even had the chance to meet her."
It is like this nowadays. It is said that a married daughter throws away the water. Once a daughter is married, it is common not to see her again for more than ten years. What is worse, there are cases where she may not see her again for a lifetime.
Su Xingxuan leaned in her mother's arms, gently hugged her mother's waist and sighed: "When my grandmother hugged me, she probably didn't expect that I was not your biological child. Now that I have a younger sister, I can't say anything.
It’s unclear.”
There was a layer of loneliness on her beautiful face. Mrs. Su San sighed inwardly and reached out to touch her face: "Your grandmother is a person with a clear sense of grudges. As long as you explain it well, she will know."
The mother and daughter talked for a while, and then the Gao family member happily opened the curtain and came in to report: "Madam, my in-laws and my aunt are here! Counting the time, we have entered the alley and are about to enter the main entrance!"
Mrs. Su San was also beaming with joy. She immediately stood up, took Su Xingxuan's hand and smiled: "Let's go together to welcome your grandmother and aunt!"
The carriage entered through the main entrance of Yongding Bo's Mansion unobstructed, smoothly bypassed the screen wall and the five seven-bay open pavilion, and spent about a stick of incense before finally arriving at the hanging flower gate of Yongding Bo's Mansion.
A mother-in-law shouted respectfully outside, and someone asked Mrs. He and others to get out of the car.
Mrs. Su San had just arrived with Su Xingxuan. After many years of absence, when Mrs. Su San saw Mrs. He, her face was filled with tears. She walked over with her skirt in hand and knelt down in front of Mrs. He: "Mother!
"
Mrs. He's eyes finally turned red, and she hurriedly asked Mrs. Su to get up: "Get up quickly, what does it look like?"
For a moment everyone couldn't help crying.
Su Xingxuan looked at Su Yao standing in front of Mrs. He through the crowd. It was different from the Su Yao in her dream. She was wearing a red satin cloak with fox fur, revealing a beige embroidered gardenia flower underneath.
He was wearing a cotton-padded jacket and was quietly greeting Mrs. Su San.
Mrs. Su San was also stunned. She had thought about Su Yao's appearance many times.
From the letters written over the years, Su Yao should be cautious, timid, cautious, like a vague-looking concubine in any mansion in the capital.
But the Su Yao in front of her was beautiful and had a pair of fox-like eyes with slightly raised corners. Even if she didn't talk or smile, she couldn't be ignored.
She was stunned, her emotions were a little complicated for a moment, and she even shouted hesitantly: "Yao Yao?"
Mother and daughter have never been familiar with each other, and it seems that they are always separated by a natural chasm. Even now, when they are standing on opposite sides, Su Yao feels that there is an insurmountable gap between them in the past and present life.
Su Xingxuan had already gently pushed Mrs. Su San's elbow, and said with a soft smile: "Mom is so happy and confused. She has been looking forward to her sister with all her heart. She didn't expect that her sister will turn out so well. Thank you for your hard work, grandma."
Her reminder was gentle and detailed, showing the tacit understanding and intimacy between mother and daughter. Mrs. Su San immediately reacted and nodded for Su to invite.
After all, more than ten years was too long. It was so long that she knew nothing about her daughter and could not even find a suitable topic. Mrs. Su San had to hold back her embarrassment and turned around to ask Mrs. He: "My mother took a boat trip."
Can you get used to it? My sister-in-law has worked hard and should have gone to the dock to greet me, but you are very forbidden." Then he hurriedly went to Su Xingxuan: "Come and see your grandmother and aunt."
Of course Mrs. He could see her intimacy with Su Xingxuan and her unfamiliarity with Su Yao, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
But this kind of unfamiliarity could not be eliminated in a moment. She didn't say anything, her eyes fell on the southern pearl in Su Xingxuan's hair, and she said calmly after a while: "Get up."
Su Xingxuan's obedient smile indicated that she took the initiative to come forward to help Mrs. He.
Mrs. He turned around to look for Su Yao, with a hint of intimacy in her tone: "Come here quickly, help me with your mother."
Mrs. Su San hesitated to speak. When she turned around and saw Su Xingxuan taking a step behind with tears in her eyes, she felt a little unbearable - her mother's attitude towards Ruyi was too cold.
Thank you Yanzhihu1 for the reward, come to Beijing, come to Beijing~~~
