Chapter 185： The eldest sister is here

Chapter 185 The eldest sister is here

She was just a girl renting a house, but she still dared to sneer at her. The pretty girl couldn't help but get angry, and a scolding voice came from the carriage: "What a shame."

Very angry.

The pretty girl was so frightened that she quickly turned around and went to the carriage to apologize: "It's not that I'm a slave, it's really that this girl is too arrogant and doesn't take my wife seriously."

Mao Ya scoffed coldly, thinking that Prince Zhao was not so arrogant even when he came. Who do you think he is?

Behind the half-opened door, Su Ruojin was originally going to come out with Shutong. She was wondering who was visiting the Su family. When she heard the conversation between the master and the servant outside, for some reason, the memory of meeting the Cheng family's direct descendant in Zhucui Pavilion two years ago suddenly appeared in her mind. The scene when the eldest daughter Cheng Yuzhu was married to Mrs. Yao, the third son of the Yao family in the Chenghou Mansion. This person was gloomy and domineering, and it was not a simple good thing.

When she thought of this, she quickly turned around and ran to her mother's side room, "Grandma, it seems that the people coming outside are the Cheng family. Be careful not to be seen by them."

Cheng Yingzhen, who was making needlework, subconsciously shook her hand. The needle pricked her finger, and a small drop of blood came out. She couldn't take care of it, so she wiped it with a cloth. She stood up shivering: "Ah... Ah Jin, what do you mean? Who is coming?"

“From the arrogant tone of that girl, it sounds like the girl next to your sister-in-law didn’t expect to find out so soon that her father was promoted to Dr. Taichangji, so they would all come to seek a future for her good brother.”

“Is your father in charge of the priest’s office?”

Dr. Taichang is responsible for presiding over the ancestral temple's sacrifices, rituals and music, and cultural and educational affairs.

"The Jiaoshifang belongs to the area of ​​rituals and music, so according to common sense, we can control it. However, there are four doctors in Taichang Temple. I guess I will be assigned to the education area, so I shouldn't be able to control the Jiaoshifang." It's like a city owner. There is a mayor and several deputy mayors. Each deputy mayor has a different scope of responsibility. Some are in charge of the economy, some are in charge of agriculture, etc. Anyway, that's what it means.

Su Yanli was transferred from the Imperial Academy to Taichang Temple, and the area he was assigned to be in charge of was definitely education. Don't even think about it. Cheng Yuzhu probably knew that, but she still came here because she wanted her father to find colleagues for help.

Having just received the transfer order and before reporting to Taichang Temple, the Cheng family is as smart as a dog’s nose and they all came to the door. This is really...

Su Ruojin first comforted Cheng Yingzhen and then encouraged her, telling her that she must be proud and proud today to vent her previous anger, "Who asked her to come to the door by herself?"

Cheng Yingzhen was in a hurry due to the sudden incident, and those who could hear her daughter's words were spinning anxiously.

Su Ruojin was so dizzy by her mother that she pulled the person out without stopping and closed the door of the wing, "Chunxiao, Qiuyue—"

The two girls came over immediately, "Madam, second lady."

“I’ll stand by my lady’s side later and take advantage of the opportunity.”

"Yes, second wife." Su Ruojin said, "Mom, you go to the bedroom first, and then come out after I ask Mao Ya to call you."

Cheng Yingzhen was naturally nervous and frightened when she heard the name of her sister-in-law. When her daughter talked to her, she couldn't answer her question.

Su Ruojin didn't say much and asked Chunxiao Qiuyue to take him into the bedroom. She was also ready. When the time came to vent her anger on her mother, she returned to her bedroom to wait.

The first step to vent your anger is to show off your power.

Outside the door, the people in the carriage finally got out of the carriage. The maids and women were standing in front of them to protect them. Cheng Yuzhu raised his eyelids and looked at the ordinary courtyard in front of him. It was a small one. On both sides of the door, from top to bottom, large and small lanterns were hung. It's bright red and has a Chinese New Year flavor.

With a twitch of her eyelids, she looked at the young man who came out of the door. She had seen the young man who had been going to the uncle's house with Su Yanli to deliver New Year's gifts. He looked much better dressed than before. She raised the corners of her mouth slightly and sneered disdainfully.

He is really prosperous. In the past two years, the uncle's family has sent out annual gifts to his servants. No matter how many messages he received from his servants, he would not reply. If it weren't for the pressure from the Jin Palace, the Cheng family would have sued him for unfilial piety. . Shu Tong really didn't expect his wife's aunt's sister to come over. It's already the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, and tomorrow is New Year's Eve. What is she doing here? Congratulations on your promotion, Sir? Subconsciously I looked at the maids and ladies, they were really polite in their hands.

Shu Tong raised his chin all at once and swept over with contempt. You are also like today, humming, but you just don’t ask who is coming, and you look around triumphantly, but you don’t even look at people.

The pretty girl shouted angrily, "Presumptuous."

“I didn’t invite you here.” The main purpose is to anger people to death.

"You..." The pretty girl didn't expect Shu Tong to dare to speak like this. Her face turned red with anger and she looked at Cheng Yuzhu, "Madam, look at him..."

Cheng Yuzhu glared at her, saying it was useless.

Seeing that the pretty girl was useless, an old woman came forward and introduced herself to her family in a serious manner, "This little brother, please inform Mrs. Su and say that she is Mrs. Yao of the Marquis - her sister is here to visit her. ”

Shu Tong wanted to curse a few words, but he was a grown man who couldn't do it. In addition, he had just been promoted and hadn't reported to Taichang Temple yet. It really wouldn't affect his reputation, so he held back his anger, but It was inevitable to sarcastically say, "Hey, the sun is really rising in the west. Madam Houfu actually knows that she has a younger sister. She is such a rare visitor. Please come in-"

Laughing openly and scolding secretly, it was so unpleasant.

The old lady was thicker than the girl after all, and she didn't mind the sarcastic words at all. She turned around and held Cheng Yuzhu's arm, "Madam, be careful-" She helped the old lady into the Su family yard as if she was protecting the queen.

Qiuyue stood in the corridor and looked towards the door of the courtyard.

Shu Tongtong reported, "Qiuyue, go back to Madam. Her eldest sister is here to visit."

 Qiuyue glanced at Mrs. Yao who was surrounded by four girls and four wives. Madam Houfu was full of style, dignified and well-mannered and bowed, "Yes, please wait a moment, Manager Su."

Shu Tong nodded.

The group of people were left hanging at the door.

In the bedroom, Cheng Yingzhen was still in a state of panic, but Chunxiao remained calm. She combed Cheng Yingzhen's hair in the most popular bun, and wore the golden hairpin and Huasheng earrings given by the Prince of Jin, as well as thumb-sized pearls, which were both noble and simple. , coupled with a brocade satin skirt, a jacket inlaid with fox fur, and a dark embroidered apricot cloak also inlaid with fox fur, the whole thing is impressive.

If she looked calm and dignified, she would have the air of a mistress of a wealthy family, but now she looks like a delicate flower raised in a boudoir.

Chunxiao shook her head secretly but did not show it. She held her hand and raised her upright, "Madam, the second lady outside has already welcomed people to the main hall. It's time for us to come out."

"me…"

"Madam, just keep a straight face, and the rest of the slaves will come."

"Oh." As long as she was not allowed to speak, Cheng Yingzhen was best at pretending. As soon as she heard that the girl given by Prince Jin's Mansion was working for her, she immediately stopped panicking, stood up, and with Chunxiao's help, she looked presentable Out of the bedroom.

Su Yanli heard that his wife's sister-in-law had arrived. He stood in front of the study window with a gloomy face. He kept squinting at the main hall through the clear paper. When he heard the sound of the bedroom door, he quickly followed his wife.

His eyes lit up when his wife came out in a bright and elegant outfit, and a smile instantly spread across her face.
