At night, Su Xubai didn't sleep for a long time. He walked to Chengchun's house without knowing it. There was still a light in the house, and he didn't know if she was asleep.
Su Xubai wanted to step forward to take a look, but he stopped abruptly and stood outside the house watching. After a long time, he slowly turned around and left. Isatis looked on and couldn't help but whisper:
"Fifth Master, why don't you go see my little sister!"
Su Xubai paused, then shook his head: "No need!"
Isatis sighed silently, and finally left behind Su Xubai.
The next morning, when she went to pay her respects to Mrs. Su, Mrs. Sun mentioned that the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, Hao Jiaojiao had sent a message to the house, saying that they had held a lotus appreciation banquet, so Mrs. Su asked Mrs. Sun to take her with her.
Let’s go together with Lin Guan’er.
Although Lin Guan'er can be considered a powerful person, her father has been abroad for many years and has not been back in the capital for long. Moreover, Lin Guan'er's reputation is not very good. She comes and goes, so few people would invite her to a banquet.
Although Mrs. Sun was not happy, her mother-in-law had spoken and she could only take her there.
Lin Guan'er was naturally very happy and pestered Mrs. Sun to take her to change into more beautiful clothes. Then she took Mrs. Sun and left first, leaving Chengchun alone standing there without embarrassment.
Mrs. Su looked at Cheng Chun, who had his head lowered, with a hairpin on his head, which looked a little monotonous: "You haven't left the house to see it since you arrived in the capital, right?"
Cheng Chun was stunned for a moment, and then quickly responded: "I am not familiar with this huge capital city, so I don't dare to go out, for fear of losing the face of the family!"
"You don't cause trouble, how can you lose the face of the family for no reason!" Mrs. Su said lightly, "After all, you are also a member of the family. Dressing too plainly will inevitably make people look shabby. Go to the accounting room to pay some money.
Go shopping on the street and buy some things you like, don’t always make yourself look shabby, it’s all in vain!”
Chengchun was actually a little surprised, but he still agreed. When he came out of Mrs. Su's yard, his face was still full of confusion.
Chengchun actually doesn't like those gold and silver jewelry. It's not that he thinks they are tacky. He just thinks it's cumbersome to wear them, so he doesn't like buying them. However, since Mrs. Su has spoken, Chengchun asked someone to prepare a carriage and take him with him.
Take Hongdou and go for a walk in the streets of Beijing.
Compared with the markets in Jiangnan, the markets in the capital were obviously more lively. After stopping the car, Chengchun and Hongdou got off the carriage and walked around. There was a constant stream of hawkers. Not only Hongdou, but also Chengchun also called from time to time.
The vendors on the side attracted attention.
The two little girls soon became fascinated by the bustling street market.
Chengchun and Hongdou each bought their own pastries, and ate the pastries while walking through the crowd, with smiles in their eyes.
A good-looking woman is particularly eye-catching wherever she goes. Even if she is dressed modestly, she is still particularly eye-catching.
The young man in the restaurant saw the woman in the crowd early. She had her hair tied up and was dressed like a woman, but her eyebrows were lively and pretty. At a glance, she knew she was a newly married bride.
Women who look like this are often the most attractive. They have the innocence and loveliness of a girl and the charm of a woman. Although it is midsummer right now, just looking at her makes her heart feel cool and cool, with a bit of sweetness.
"Whose little woman is this? She is so beautiful, but I have never seen her before!"
"Looks like he's from Jiangnan, and he speaks with a hint of Wu Nong's soft language from Jiangnan!" The young master on the side also came forward to take a look.
"Do you think the person following her is from the Marquis of Wuchang Mansion?"
"It's true! I haven't heard that there has been a new addition to the Marquis of Wuchang's residence recently!"
A group of people looked at each other, and suddenly someone said: "Ah, didn't I hear a few days ago that the flower hunter brought back an outhouse? It couldn't be this little lady!"
Several people's eyes lit up.
"Such a pretty young lady, if it were me, I would bring her back!" One of them stared at Cheng Chun, almost unable to look away, "This boy from the Su family is really lucky. He was hit by Tan Hua Lang in the front foot.
When you go to the countryside to recuperate, you can meet such a beautiful girl!"
"It shouldn't be. Mrs. Su is famous for being strict. Why would she let the little girl in the house come out to play around!"
"Guessing, let's ask!" Meng Shaoqing, who had been sitting in the corner, suddenly poked his head out, "My dear, we have never seen you before. Which family are you from?"
Chengchun was startled and subconsciously hid behind Hongdou.
"We don't mean any harm, we just haven't seen you before and just wanted to ask which family you are from!" Meng Shaoqing said quickly.
The maid who came with her was Mrs. Su's personal maid. She was afraid that Chengchun and the others were not familiar with each other in the capital and would offend the nobles, so they were specially sent to follow her. She stepped forward and replied: "Prince Meng, we are from the Marquis of Wuchang."
I went to the fifth master’s room and disturbed the cleanliness of these masters. I’m really sorry, and I also ask you masters not to remember the faults of others and not to worry about it!”
Meng Shaoqing lay on the window and said with a smile: "No need to disturb, no need to disturb, I just thought this little lady looked familiar, but unfortunately I have never seen her before, so I asked more questions!"
The maid said a few more words and then left quickly with Cheng Chun.
Cheng Chun's appearance was exquisite. Both men and women could not help but look at her with side eyes along the way. Someone in the capital said that day: "The fifth master of the Su family is really a lucky man. He can go to the countryside casually and bring back a stunning girl!"
"
Then, everyone in the capital knew that Su Xubai had brought back a particularly beautiful girl from the countryside.
Suddenly, many people were heartbroken.
Su Xubai was very talented and good-looking. There were many women in the capital who liked him. As soon as these words came out, many people felt sad. They thought that Su Xubai was not that sexy.
However, he didn't want to, and in the end he still couldn't escape the beautiful woman.
These words naturally reached Hao Jiaojiao's ears. At that time, she was preparing for the lotus appreciation banquet tomorrow. Others didn't know it, but everyone who knew her knew that the fifth master of the Su family was invited to this banquet. But
Before her banquet was held, Su Xubai's mistress did this to her, pressing her face to the ground and stomping on her hard.
Hao Jiaojiao was so angry that she kept crying. Mrs. Hao was heartbroken, but there was nothing she could do about it: "We Jiaojiao are so beautiful, how could it be possible that we can't compare to a mud-legged guy from the country!"
"Am I competing with her? If I compete with her, I will be trampling my own face on the ground!" Hao Jiao flipped over the tablecloth coquettishly, and the cups on the table clattered to the floor.
"Okay, okay, who the hell is she? How can she compare with our Jiaojiao!" Mrs. Hao quickly consoled her.
