Chapter 324: Damned Feeling
As the Empress Dowager, being able to think of this unmarried daughter-in-law and send someone personal over is already considered good. And she is simply use their own side of the people – in the ordinary family, perhaps also let people wonder whether this will be in the name of favor in the name of monitoring the real, but the Zhao family of Zhao Su and the palace of the mother and son get along with the situation to understand, know that this will not be to monitor, but sincerely maintain her decency, and how will not be moved by it?
Especially today was the day they were hosting the Weiyuan Marquis siblings, the Empress Dowager must have known about the talk of the people in the city, and was clearly trying to give the Zhao family a long face!
After urging Zhao Su, she also bowed to the ground.
Gao Shu helped them up, “The people have been delivered, so I won’t stay much longer, the two of you quickly prepare to welcome the guests.”
Zhao Su sent away Gao Shu, and then looked at the two Sun Pang in front of the two still smiling faintly sat on the baggage, had to say first: “The two of you first go with me to the leaning cloud courtyard, allow my fourth aunt to give you two to vacate a courtyard.”
Sister Sun still smiled and said, “Girl don’t have to bother, wherever the maids live, we will live.”
“How can …… that be?”
“That’s what the Empress Dowager explained, saying that we didn’t come over to put on airs, we came to share the girl’s worries, we don’t dare to talk about it. Moreover, I see the house of the subordinate dress, and talk temperament are very good, visible wives have been governed very well, that is, the maids live in the place, certainly will not.”
This is true, Zhao family brothers are diligent and down-to-earth people, the Marquis of Qingyun earned the merit is very valuable, several wives married are not particularly high family, character but are extremely positive, insight is also very rich, the back of the house governance has always been very attentive, in addition to that year did not intervene to prevent Auntie Ning to live down to become a point of the sisters-in-law do not want to mention the rest of the word is not yet anything to let a person say.
Xing’s see out these two are careful people, also no more nonsense, then let someone pass the old fourth family personally lead the way, leading them to the residence.
Palace can send people, Xing is really relieved, in addition to the long decent, the same rules and etiquette do not have to worry about her. Although Sue’s sister is not so bad, but in the rules are still a little spontaneous, a bad, but also easy to let people catch words. In the future, by these two arrangements, it is natural that there will not be negligence.
Since then, Zhao Su house will be accompanied by sisters, not to mention, this side of the people just dispersed, the front said Cheng Lang couple with a pair of daughters, accompanied by HeZhong came – He old lady for many years do not go out to walk around, this is not a surprise. As soon as they met, Cheng Lang made a silent bow to Zhao Su, who knew that he was doing it for the sake of Cheng Zhuyun, and it was not convenient for him to thank her in front of outsiders, so he returned the bow.
Mrs. Cheng warmly took her hand: “Today’s outfit is really nice. It’s very elegant and dignified.”
Zhao Su smiled and thanked her, welcoming them to the garden. Zhao Ha and Third Mistress Huang were already here preparing tea, and when they heard the news, they greeted them at the door. Once they met, they greeted each other cordially. At this moment, there was a report that the car of Wei Yuan Marquis would arrive, so Zhao Su and Yao welcomed them to the front yard.
On the way, Xing’s complained: “Your father will marry the person back soon, look at my small feet to tired.”
When they arrived at the hanging flower gate, two sisters, Sun Pang, had already changed their clothes and were waiting here, and when they saw Zhao Su, they both welcomed her and stood behind her.
Huo Xiu and Duan Shu rode on horseback, Huo Mingyu rode in the carriage, and Marquis Qingyun was already in the front yard, dismounted, and both sides warmly exchanged pleasantries.
Huo Mingyu has long seen Zhao Su in the carriage window, today’s she pulls a high bun, generous clothing, looks more than the last time a few points of nobility. And right after she got off the ground, two familiar faces behind Zhao Su immediately attracted her attention.
The palace is her second home, Ci Ning Palace where there are people she does not recognize? Sister Sun was assisted by the Empress Dowager’s ceremony, very familiar with the etiquette of the various divisions, while Sister Pang is good at clothes and makeup, responsible for many of the Empress Dowager’s Palace Banquet dress code. How did these two people …… come out with Zhao Su to welcome the guests?
Huo Mingyu paused for a moment, but Huo Xiu also saw them and came over and said, “Sister Sun, Sister Pang is also here.”
Sister Sun and Sister Pang salute, “Back to the Marquis, the slave girls have been ordered by the Empress Dowager to come and serve Miss Su.”
Huo Xiu jowls and looks at Zhao Su, also arching his hand.
Zhao Su looked at the man in front of her, but she couldn’t help but feel a pang of fear and trembling ……
“Sister Su, why don’t you reply?”
Xing gently tugged on her sleeve from the side.
Zhao Su returned to her senses and tried her best to suppress the sudden emotions, blessing her body and saying, “Greetings, Marquis.” She also turns to Huo Mingyu, “County princess.”
Zhao Su’s hint of dissimilarity falls into Huo Mingyu’s eyes, but her heart is also tossing and turning, Empress Dowager Lu has never favored a person so much, when she sent Yu Qingping to her, to protect her, this is already an exception, and now she has sent someone directly to Zhao Su – even if she is the Empress, the person she sent should have been chosen by the Ministry of Ceremony from the Sixth Council. –Now that it’s like this, isn’t it a great honor?
Huo Mingyu in the last face of the emperor personally under the banishment order, and have not been how, now see Zhao Su behind the two Palace Sisters, but the heart suddenly some empty.
She hung her head and also returned a salute, according to the name of the sisters to greet: “Miss Su.”
Zhao Su made a gesture of invitation, “No more standing, let’s eat tea inside.”
A group of people then meandering forward, during the period around the exquisite construction of the marquis house and the harmony of the extended family has a talk.
Entered the door, divided into male and female compartments first in the main hall to eat tea, all the etiquette, and then the atmosphere gradually relaxed, only to carry each other to the garden.
Cheng Zhuyun sees that Huo Mingyu doesn’t talk much, after entering the garden, when Zhao Ha and the others came forward to greet her, she quietly said with Zhao Su: “Sheriff Master looks a bit reticent, I don’t know if it’s convenient to open her mouth in a while.”
Zhao Su also feels that Huo Mingyu looks more silent today than last time, to be more precise, it was after seeing the two sisters that her demeanor changed, why exactly? She doesn’t have time to guess blindly for a moment.
She is still in the midst of the shock that Huo Xiu has brought to her at the moment, the Weiyuan Marquis who has been praised by the world is clearly a good son and son with both virtue and talent, but when she saw him earlier, her entire being shook violently, as if she had been touched by something, and there were countless shadows floating in her mind-
It was also strange, why did she have such a strange reaction when she saw both of them, brother and sister? Thinking about it again, when she was in Tongzhou, when she heard that the person who said she was going to meet the Weiyuan Marquis was nothing more than a Duan Shuo, she had also had the inexplicable feeling that she and this Weiyuan Marquis were clashing somewhere or not?
“Your family’s atmosphere is really good, so many people, so lively, I think usually no matter what you do, everyone is in agreement and peaceful.”
While Zhao Su is lost in thought, on this side of the room, Huo Mingyu looks at everyone sitting down in a circle and sighs.
