A concubine enters the mansion? Reborn, three matchmakers and six engagements to marry the Prime Min

Su Shunci continued, "Big sister, you don't know that my third cousin's shoes almost fell off because of running. That matchmaker Wang put two kilograms of powder on her face, and it made my third cousin sneeze non-stop."

Su Qingyu winked at Su Shunci and coughed lightly, signaling her to stop talking. Su Shunci didn't understand what she meant at all and thought that her eyes were uncomfortable.

"On the way here just now, I held back from asking him about this."

At this point, Su Shunci couldn't stop laughing. She felt thirsty and took two gulps of tea from the teacup.

I heard a teasing voice behind me, "Don't hold it in. Ask whatever you want to ask now."

The water that Su Shunci had just drunk was sprayed out before it reached his throat and he couldn't swallow it.

Su Qingyu felt something was wrong when she drank the water, so she stood up and stepped aside in time.

But the dim sum on that table was in trouble and they can no longer be ordered.

Su Shunci didn't care about losing composure. She wiped the corner of her mouth, turned her head, and looked at Lin Wuchen in horror.

"Third cousin, when did you come?"

Lin Wuchen touched his nose and said, "It was when you mentioned me sneakily."

Su Shunci suddenly looked embarrassed. It was true that one should not talk about people behind their backs. She had said so many good things about her third cousin before, but he didn't hear it. Why did he come here when she mentioned this?

Her eyes were wandering, and she clearly felt guilty.

Lin Wuchen asked, "What did you say you wanted to ask me? Ask it now."

Su Shunci waved her hands quickly, "Nothing, I don't have anything to ask. I have something else to do in the shop, so I'll leave first."

As he spoke, Su Shunci carefully walked past Lin Wuchen, said goodbye to Lin Wanyin who had just entered the room, and walked away quickly.

Lin Wanyin was confused, "What is this kid doing in such a hurry?"

Lin Wuchen explained: "She had something to do in her shop, so she went to take care of it first."

Su Qingyu looked at Lin Wuchen with a puzzled expression, but Lin Wuchen obviously didn't want to talk about this with Lin Wanyin, so he changed the subject directly.

The day before Mrs. Su's birthday, Su Qingyu leaned on the chaise longue and thought, "My mother should have arrived in Yunzhou Prefecture, right?" She didn't know how her grandmother was doing, and she didn't know what her second cousin's newborn baby looked like.

She was just daydreaming when Chuntao came in and reported, "Madam, someone from the Su family came and said that the old lady of the Su family wants you to come back to the mansion."

Su Qingyu leaned on the couch and didn't want to move. "Did grandma say anything about returning home?"

Chun Tao replied, "The servant from the Su family said that someone from the old lady's family has come, and asked the lady to go back and talk to them."

Su Qingyu was a little impatient, "Go and tell them that I'm not feeling well today and I won't be going back."

Chuntao bowed and went back to pass on the message.

Su Qingyu continued to lie on the small couch, wondering who was coming from the Gu family.

Her grandmother asked her to go back at this time just to show off her status as an old lady and to show off how well the young people in her family married. She was too lazy to go back, so she might as well lie down for a while.

It was afternoon, and the sunlight shone in through the window. Su Qingyu was covered with a thin blanket, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and she was drowsy.

Just as I was about to fall asleep, Shen Zhixiu walked in hurriedly.

He squatted in front of the small couch and held her hand. "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable? Did you call the doctor?"

Su Qingyu was woken up and snorted unhappily.

"I'm not feeling unwell, I just don't want to go back to the Su family."

She could guess that it must be Chuntao who had just conveyed the message and he had heard it.

Shen Zhixiu suddenly realized that he had disturbed Su Qingyu's sweet dream.

I hurriedly coaxed her in a low voice: "Then continue to sleep. I was wrong. I won't disturb you anymore."

He patted her back again, gently.

He didn't stand up and leave until Su Qingyu fell asleep again and tucked the blanket in for her.

In the evening, Zhenzhu selected gifts for the old lady's birthday in the small warehouse and brought them in for Su Qingyu to review.

"Madam, what do you think of this Buddha statue?"

The red cloth on top was lifted, revealing a golden Buddha statue, three feet tall, and the entire golden body glowed brightly under the candlelight.

Jade looked at it and smacked her lips, "How much gold does this cost?"

Pearl chuckled twice and explained mysteriously to Su Qingyu and Feicui.

"Madam, this golden Buddha statue looks big, but it's hollow inside. It doesn't actually contain much gold, but it can still intimidate people."

"If it were up to you, Madam, you should give this. It saves money and gives the old lady face."

Feicui was dumbfounded and asked, "Did you ask about the origin of this thing? I don't think it was given to you by someone else. It would be bad if we just give it away like this."

Zhenzhu was confident, "I have asked about it. This statue was made in our house and was originally intended to be buried with the old man. But the size was wrong, so it has been placed in the small storeroom in our yard."

"I also asked Wenzhu, and he said that as long as it's something from the small storehouse, Madam can take it as a gift."

Su Qingyu was not willing to spend too much time on this matter. She just took a look and told Zhenzhu to pack it up.

After breakfast the next day, Su Qingyu changed into a rose gold peony and butterfly-patterned silk dress. On her head she wore the Jingfu Changmian headpiece that was newly launched by Fanjinlou this summer, and on her wrists she wore a pair of blue and white glazed beads inlaid with gold bracelets.

This set of jewelry looks expensive, but it is something that can be bought with money. If there is a younger person whom I meet for the first time today, I can take it off and give it to him directly.

The Su family sent out the invitation. Originally, Old Madam Shen said she would go and take Shen Yue with her, but she suddenly caught a cold in the past two days.

In this case, Shen Yue decided not to go and stayed to take care of the child.

There was no mistress of the first house. Neither Li Chaoyun nor Shen Zhao went. Only Shen Zhiheng went. The ones who went from the second house were Yang and Shen Zhishu.

Su Qingyu was the aunt of the Su family, so she naturally had to go back early. The others would wait until the banquet started at noon.

Today, the entire Su family was decorated in a festive mood, with servants walking around in the corridors. Everyone in the mansion had received rewards in the morning, so everyone was smiling at this moment.

Second Madam He is now the person in charge of the Su family's inner house. When Su Qingyu arrived, she was welcoming guests at the second gate.

She wore a pomegranate red jacket with gold all over it, and a skirt woven with gold thread, and a five-phoenix jade hairpin on her head.

Seeing Su Qingyu coming, she greeted her with a smile, "Qingyu is back. There are many people coming today. You have to help Second Aunt entertain the guests."

Su Qingyu knew that He was just being polite, so she said, "Second Aunt, you are joking. You have managed the inner house of the Marquis' Mansion properly. It is not easy to organize a birthday banquet. Why should I embarrass myself?"

He Shi has been doing well in the Marquis' Mansion these days, and what she likes to hear most is this kind of compliment. Especially when these words come from Su Qingyu's mouth, she feels even more comfortable.

"Second Aunt, please be busy now. I will go and pay my respects to Grandmother."

Su Qingyu didn't want to say more to her and walked towards the inner courtyard.

There were sedan chairs for the women in the palace to travel in the inner courtyard, but she didn't take one. She would rather walk a few more steps and go to Songhe Hall to greet them with a fake smile.

It was still early, there were not many guests, and it was quite quiet.

Su Qingyu and her maids and servants walked slowly, and it didn't seem like they were celebrating a birthday, but rather going out for a picnic.

Pearl suddenly stopped and looked towards the pavilion not far away.

"Eh? Which concubine in the mansion is that? How can a concubine walk around in the mansion on such an important day?"

As soon as Pearl finished speaking, the person in the pavilion turned around, revealing half of his profile.

Su Qingyu was shocked.

"No wonder."
