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

When Shen Zhixiu returned home, it was already afternoon. Su Qingyu fell asleep on the small couch in the banquet room.

He was covered with a thin green brocade quilt, with his hands resting outside the quilt.

Shen Zhixiu sat down beside her and covered her with the quilt.

Although it is spring in Beijing, the cold spring weather is still the most likely to cause freezing to people.

Su Qingyu slept restlessly, thinking about this matter all the time. She wanted to know how the emperor rewarded her, and she also wanted to know when her brother would return to Beijing.

So when Shen Zhixiu moved the quilt, she woke up.

She sat up, her sparkling eyes revealing the laziness of just waking up.

"How is it? When will my brother return to Beijing?"

Shen Zhixiu helped her sit down. Knowing that she often woke up thirsty, he brought her some warm water.

"He is still in Linhuangfu, the capital of Liao. Later, Song Hongshen will escort the king and queen of Liao to Beijing, and Yunzhou will return to the Northern Frontier Army."

"Once he has taken care of the military affairs, he will bring the generals who have made contributions this time back to the court."

"It will probably take another month."

When Su Qingyu mentioned this, she couldn't stop laughing. After being so nervous for so many days, she finally felt relieved.

Shen Zhixiu whispered again, "I'll tell you one more thing. The emperor has asked the Ministry of Rites to draft a title. Both of them will be crowned as princes, hereditary princes of different surnames."

Even though she was mentally prepared because of her past life, Su Qingyu was still excited when she heard these words.

"That's great. I'm going to tell my mother tomorrow and make her happy."

Shen Zhixiu shook his head and said, "I'm afraid you won't have time tomorrow. You forgot that tomorrow is the old lady of the Yang family's birthday. I went to the Yang family a few days ago, and the old lady told you to go out more often. On such an important day, you must go and congratulate her in person."

Su Qingyu slapped her forehead and said, "I almost forgot about this."

She had been thinking about her brother these days, so she had forgotten about this matter. But even if Shen Zhixiu didn't say anything, Feicui would remind her at night and ask her what gift she had prepared.

When it was time for dinner, Shen Yue came and said that she came to the West Courtyard specially to have dinner with her uncle and aunt.

During the meal, Shen Yue ignored the rules and kept talking to Su Qingyu.

Of course, Li Yunzhou is mentioned every three sentences.

She was so happy today, but there were some things she couldn't tell her grandmother, so she could only use the excuse of eating to talk to Su Qingyu.

The two of them chatted with each other, leaving Shen Zhixiu alone.

Seeing that Shen Zhixiu was about to get angry, Su Qingyu quickly picked up a piece of golden needle cucumber for him with chopsticks.

"Master San, try it. Is this side dish too sour?"

Shen Zhixiu took a bite and said, "It's not sour. It tastes about the same as usual."

"Not to your liking? How about asking the kitchen to make something else?"

Su Qingyu nodded and said seriously.

"It's not sour, so why do I smell it?"

"That means someone is jealous, but he puts on a friendly face. Do you think I can't see it?"

Shen Yue understood the hidden meaning of Su Qingyu's words and almost slammed the table with laughter.

Shen Zhixiu finally understood what she meant and looked at her lovingly.

He raised his head and glared at Shen Yue again, "What's the point of talking so noisily? You have no manners at all."

Shen Yue curled her lips and muttered, "I am the soft persimmon."

Su Qingyu almost spit out a mouthful of soup.

I don’t know if it was because she ate too much while chatting, or because she was happy and had a good appetite, but after Su Qingyu finished eating, she walked twice in the yard to digest the food.

As for Shen Yue, she was driven away by Shen Zhixiu as soon as she put down her chopsticks.

The next day after breakfast, around noon, Su Qingyu took her maids and servants, as well as the prepared birthday gifts, to the Yang family.

The old lady of the Yang family was in her early sixties this year, so she did not hold a grand ceremony. In addition to her own family members, she only invited a few families with whom she had good relations.

After Su Qingyu entered the door, a maid led her into the inner courtyard.

Looking at the people walking around in the inner courtyard, you can tell that not many people came today, but they are all very important.

No matter the old lady or Yang Wenshi of the Yang family, they don't like luxury. Even the younger generation of the family are strictly disciplined. They are not allowed to be extravagant or arrogant. Otherwise, the son of Mr. Qian, the accountant, would not have been so shortsighted as to beat the young master of the Yang family last year.

The hall where Madam Yang receives guests is decorated in a simple but elegant manner.

When Su Qingyu went in, Old Madam Yang was talking to several other ladies.

Su Qingyu recognized them all, except the one next to Old Madam Yang.

The woman was in her early fifties, dressed elegantly and gracefully. She sat in a dignified manner, with a hint of arrogance between her eyebrows. It was as if no one in the room could catch her eye.

Su Qingyu stepped forward to greet Old Madam Yang, said a few auspicious words, and handed over the birthday gift.

Madam Yang had a good impression of Su Qingyu, so she asked her to come forward, took her hand and said, "I told Zhixiu a few days ago that I would ask you to come visit more often."

Su Qingyu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will come here often in the future. Even if I come more often, please don't think I disturb your peace."

It was just a polite remark, but I heard it from the lady next to me.

"Mrs. Shen San is really good at talking and she is pretty. I thought Lord Shen really didn't like women, but it turns out he just likes young and beautiful women."

Su Qingyu heard the hostility in the words and frowned slightly.

But he didn't look at that person, but looked at Madam Yang, "Who is this?"

Madam Yang introduced, "This is the wife of Elder Chen. Madam Chen has been staying at the old house in Huzhou. No wonder you don't know her."

Su Qingyu said "oh" and bowed to Madam Chen again. Shen Zhixiu called Chen Ge Lao "teacher", so she had to bow.

Mrs. Chen raised her chin high, thinking that she was also a snob. If she knew who she was, wouldn't she dare to say anything? She had seen many people like this.

After Su Qingyu politely bowed, she said, "Men like young and beautiful women. There's nothing strange about that."

"The last time I met Third Master and Elder Chen for dinner, Miss Xianyun was also stunning."

While they were talking, Su Qingyu sat down with the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty.

Mrs. Chen doesn't give her face, so why should she give her face?

After Su Qingyu finished speaking, Mrs. Chen's face suddenly turned gloomy.

What she cares about most is that even though she is old and ugly, Lord Chen still has countless female confidants.

Why? Why did she have to take care of her parents-in-law in the old house in Huzhou, while he could live happily in the capital?

So when she looked at Su Qingyu, she also thought that she was relying on her youth and beauty to hook up with Shen Zhixiu.

"I've heard before that the Third Lady of the Shen family is very arrogant and easily looks down on others. I still don't believe it. I think Madam Shen is also the daughter of a marquis, she wouldn't be so uneducated."

"Today it seems that the rumors are not groundless."

At this moment, Wang, the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty, was talking to Su Qingyu in a low voice, "Don't pay attention to her. She said others were arrogant, but she is the most arrogant person in the entire capital."

"She wanted to introduce her niece to Zhixiu before, but Zhixiu refused. Now she doesn't like you anymore."
