Chapter 234 – Who is a toad?
Zhao Su felt that it was a bit redundant to ask this question, but let’s just take it as Luo Yanru looking for words to bring her closer. She said, “My father has stated to me more than once that the Old Taijun’s embrace of the country and of the court, and that he also respects the Old Taijun very much, and told me that the Luo family has made an invitation to treat the Marquis House as a close person, so today, even though I have to go on an errand, I’m still coming to give the Old Madame a birthday wish.”
Luo Yanru paused under her so sharp retort. She smiled and said, “This sincerity of the Marquis and the girl is truly touching.”
“It should be.” Zhao Su also grinned.
Attending this kind of banquet was like attending a class reunion in the old days, more or less awkward and able to be alone.
Sociable person like Luo Yanru, her words were also a bit difficult to follow for a while. Then said: “Let’s go to the front pavilion to sit down, the girls are there.”
Zhao Su knew that this was inevitable, got up and was about to leave, when a few people came in front of him, and on closer inspection, they were the same ones in the pavilion just now.
“Miss Yan was here, we’ve been waiting for you for half a day.” Song Tian’er in lotus root color dress said, her smile was also very sweet, she took Luo Yanru’s arm and looked over towards Zhao Su: “Isn’t this Marquis Qingyun’s sister Su? Just now I looked like it, but I didn’t dare to recognize it, I haven’t seen you in the past few months, you’ve really changed a lot.”
Zhao Su knew at a glance that this was with He Wan Yu and the rest of them along the way. That’s why she didn’t love attending this kind of party, any demon or devil could come out.
She pulled the corner of her mouth, “Yeah, I didn’t recognize it either. You are?”
Song Tian’er’s smile froze and she frowned, “What do you mean?”
Seeing this, Luo Yanru hurriedly interjected, “Miss Su, this is the second young lady of the Song Da Dudu’s residence, Miss Tian’er, you’ve been on two errands lately, and you’ve hardly come out to socialize, so could it be that you didn’t think of it all of a sudden?”
A deputy governor only, also have the nerve to say big governor, Zhao Su heart muttered, face but smiling: “So it is the second Miss Song, so everyone has changed a lot, I have the impression that the second Miss Song is not like this.”
Song Tian’er couldn’t pretend anymore, and withdrew her hand from Luo Yanru.
In the presence of the host family, especially when everyone knew in their hearts what they were here to do today, this discord was still pressed down.
At this time, a maid walked to Luo Yanru’s side, said a few words with her ear, then Luo Yanru said: “This open air place is too hot, why don’t we go to the house to sit down, and eat some refreshments is also more convenient.”
Saying this, she had already taken Zhao Su’s hand.
Zhao Su felt that the house is spacious, there are also many people, then find a corner to stay down is also easy, then from the good, with them to the small building.
Just entered the door, heard a cheerful laughter: “Luo Shiyun nephew young handsome, have Nai Zu’s style, the old master, you have a successor ah!”
Has been arranged into a large tea room downstairs hall, Luo old master and two middle-aged men are talking, the old master’s side also stood a elegant and handsome young man.
Elder Master Luo modestly: “Just a little talent, young people, but also should be modest and diligent study is.”
Said to see the door in these girls, he said: “We go outside to walk.”
The girls got out of the way to the side, and when they left, Zhao Su realized that there were still several young ladies whose eyes were following Luo Rui.
In all fairness, with such a noble family background, Luo Rui himself also got a scholar at a young age, and his looks and figure are very good, it is indeed more popular. Although Zhao Sumi is also a famous flower peacock, but after all, he is not as gentle as Luo Rui, or some people will not like the military general. Zhang Huai is also a handsome talent, but he has no parents, after all, only Zhang Yu’s nephew, shallow difference of a layer.
Married to Luo Rui, one is the young granny, can participate in the family, the two young aunt and will soon be married off, the family clean. In addition, the Luo family this situation, the sisters always have to look for a good husband, so, the family lineage are not weak, where to find?
Zhao Su is sitting at the table in front of the door, watching them with melon seeds.
Song Tian’er closed her eyes and saw Zhao Su’s face, then she blushed and came over to sit down, sizing her up, “I heard that your engagement with the Xu family is no longer–”
“Stop!” Zhao Su listened to a word on the head of the voice to stop, “I have no marriage contract with the Xu family, have recuperated thousands of girls do not rise rumors.”
Song Tian’er sunk her face: “It’s not that we haven’t formally invited the matchmaker to hire them, but Xu Chong has made it known on the streets, so why are you still hiding it? Having a marriage contract is not something honorable, why hasn’t your family promised you out yet? It’s even more troublesome if it’s delayed. Even if the man’s family is close, as long as it is willing to take over, you should also cherish it.”
Zhao Su is a good girl, of course not happy to hear this ah. She threw the melon shells: “Yo, you look down on your own daughter’s body? Look at you so virtuous, eighty percent of the future married to a man immediately want to give their husbands three, four, five, six concubines, right? When the concubines give birth to a child, will you not be there to take care of the baby yourself?”
Song Tian’er was so angry that her nose smoked, “I come from a noble family, how would I do such a thing? You had a marriage contract with someone before, so you had already dropped your price! Otherwise, look at all the powerful people in the capital, who would go to your family to propose marriage?”
The Luo family is also embarrassed to hear this, we all know that the girls invited to the mansion today are here to see Luo Rui, Song Tian’er’s words sound like she’s criticizing Zhao Su, but in fact, is not also squeezing the Luo family?
Luo Yanru glanced at the servants who were worriedly looking over, and did not say anything, but instead probed Zhao Su.
Zhao Su neither intended to act like a lady, nor did she intend to look at Luo Rui, it was simply impossible for her to be as angry as Song Tian’er, she didn’t say anything, she just looked at the Luo family’s faces, and then got high on melons to Song Tian’er, who had swollen red cheeks.
The rest of the boudoir girls also sat down, about seeing Zhao Su’s dislike back, the atmosphere was all slightly different. A few people turned their heads to play chess from the side, and a moment later someone said with a naughty smile, “You’re the one who ate my penny the moment you came here, but if it were someone else, I would have to say a few words to her, saying that she doesn’t know her own strength, and that she’s a toad who wants to eat swan’s meat!”
This mouth is really powerful!
At that moment, the ladies sitting around all ate and laughed, among which Song Tian’er’s laughter was the most ear-piercing, and her voice was even more ear-piercing when she answered: “Who says it isn’t? There are a lot of people under the sky who don’t think they have the power of their family and the Empress Dowager’s favor, and when they become an errand boy, they can’t be compared to anyone else!”
Hua Qianrong had already clenched her fists and looked at Zhao Su. Yun Xiangyi, who had never been in a proper form, also furrowed her brows, a stern light emerging from her eyes.
“Big Miss! The Holy Driver has descended, the old master ordered my little one to come and pass on the message, asking you to immediately go to the main gate to welcome the Holy Driver!”
Right at this moment, a butler rushed in three steps at a time outside the door, his voice excitedly reporting towards Luo Yanru!
