After rebirth, dribbling and leaving

Zhao Yan'er came close to Su Qingling and smiled:

"Sister Su, I won't leave today. Can I stay here for two days?"

"Okay? But you have to talk to your parents about this!"

Su Qingling likes this little girl very much. Although she is of noble status, she is not as aloof and hypocritical as those noble ladies. She is so sincere that people can't bear to reject her true heart!

Zhao Ma'er blinked and smiled: "Don't worry, Sister Su, I just sent someone back to give home a message!"

After saying that, he glanced around, seemed a little disappointed, and then returned to normal!

When Su Qingling saw this, he had some guesses in his mind, but he didn't say much. He just smiled and strolled in the yard with Zhao Yan'er!

The courtyard is arranged with a strong sense of garden. There is a garden in the northeast of the second courtyard. The limited space is dotted with rockery, trees, pavilions, towers, ponds and small bridges.

The shadow of a winding corridor is reflected in the mirror-like water. The blooming lotus flowers and lush trees in the pond reduce the heat of August!

As the sun sets in the west, lanterns are hung every few steps on both sides of the corridor. The servants light the lanterns, which reminds people of a poem by a poet!

In the quiet night, the garden reflects the bright moon, and the shadows of flowers float among the green mountains.

The lake waves rise slightly as the tide rises, and the grass and trees cover the green bay like a carpet.

The winding paths are filled with intoxicating fragrance of flowers, the pomegranates are red and the parrots are singing.

The gurgling water makes people laugh, and the heart becomes clearer as the night deepens.

--《Night Tour of the Garden》

After Su Qingling and the others walked around the yard and returned to the inner courtyard, they found that their mother had not left yet and was excitedly arranging for someone to prepare a midnight snack!

Seeing the two of them coming back, he ordered someone to bring supper! Zhao Yan'er walked happily as if her feet were running on springs, and she kept circling around the Marquis's wife:

"Aunt Yun, Aunt Yun, you still love me. If I were at home, my mother would definitely be nagging me... You silly girl, you've already reached the age of marriage but you still don't control your temper. You're always so impetuous and make others laugh at you!"

Liu Yunjia laughed heartily: "Your parents raised you very well. You look like someone who has been living in a honey pot since you were a child. You don't know the sufferings of the world. Aunt Yun likes beautiful girls like you who have a pure mind!"

The two were talking affectionately, and Su Qingling said jealously, "It seems that my daughter is not as important as Yan'er in my mother's heart now. I am really sad!"

Liu quickly reached out to hug her daughter, explaining:

"Oh my, you are my precious daughter, and of course you are more important in my heart. However, Yan'er is also a good child, and I will love her as much as I love you in the future!"

Zhao Yan'er deliberately made faces at Su Qingling provocatively. At this moment, Su Lijie walked in silently. Zhao Yan'er frightened so much that she suddenly froze and her face turned red. However, she forced her eyes open and scolded Su Lijie:

"Second Brother Su, why are you walking so quietly? You scared me. I need to eat two more rice dumplings with fermented rice wine for supper tonight to calm my nerves! Shiso, remember to serve the dishes later!"

Zi Su covered her mouth and laughed, but still agreed!

Su Lijie looked at Princess An Ning's face, which was pretending to be calm but blushing with shame, and the inexplicable throbbing in his heart appeared again. This little girl had been with her grandfather at the border for the past two years and had just returned. Because she was as brave as any man, she had been serving as a deputy general beside her grandfather!

At the beginning of this year, the old general returned to the court, handed over the seal of command and retired to the countryside. Emperor Li Zong was grateful for his hard work and great contributions, so he bestowed the title of Princess An Ning on Zhao Yan'er. Except for the status of a princess, ordinary noble ladies dared not mess with her!

Su Lijie didn't know why he thought too much. The Xing'an Marquis' Mansion has become a popular figure in the court. If it is connected with the General's Mansion again, someone might get the news to the emperor's ears, which would not be good for both families!

At this moment, Su Lijie washed his face with cold water and immediately became much more sober. He smiled and said:

"That's fine. You can eat more later!" After saying that, he looked at Su Qingling:

"Mother, Ling'er, you guys treat the princess well. I have to go on an inspection tour, so I won't have dinner. I'll be back at the Marquis' Mansion in the evening. You guys should go to bed early after dinner!"

Liu Yunjia was a little surprised: "You kid, you promised it at that time, why did you change your mind at the last minute? As the commander of the North City Army, do you really need to go out for inspection in person?"

The corner of Su Lijie's mouth twitched slightly. She felt that she was such a useless mother. How could she expose her son's lies in front of outsiders like that!

Alas, my mother's temper has been spoiled by my father. Never mind, what can I do with my son? I will spoil him too!

Su Lijie explained helplessly: "How long has your son been in charge of this position? As the saying goes, a new official has three things to do when he takes office. Even if my son doesn't start a fire, he must ensure 40% to 90% safety!"

Liu Yunjia looked as if she would be shocked if I believed you, but she still gave her son some face:

"Okay, then go ahead. If you're hungry, go to the corner of Huajie Lane and eat the wontons sold by Mr. and Mrs. Wang. They're clean and delicious!"

Su Lijie smiled and responded, then stepped out!

Zhao Yan'er vaguely felt that the fact that the Second Master of the Su family didn't eat supper and suddenly left had something to do with her. She couldn't help feeling discouraged and sighed secretly, but she didn't show it on her face. There was just a hint of disappointment in her eyes!

However, Zhao Yan'er was quickly attracted by the food in front of her, and her eyes lit up instantly! !

Shrimp buns, white meat Hu pancakes, carp sashimi with sugar cakes, fried mandarin duck tripe with lotus root, goose paw soup...

"Oh my, Aunt Yun, these are all Yan'er's favorites. Aunt Yun is so good to Yan'er!"

Su Qingling curled her lips: "Humph, it seems that I am still benefiting from you, my sister. I feel uncomfortable, so I have to eat more to make my mouth feel better!"

The three of them chatted and laughed in a harmonious atmosphere, which made Su Qingling forget all the unpleasantness she had when asking for the return of her dowry during the day!

After dinner, they talked for a while in the courtyard. Seeing that the mother and daughter seemed to have more to say, Zhao Yan'er said that she had gotten up early in the morning and went back to her room to rest!

Xia He personally led the people to a separate small guest house next door, which was specially for female guests to rest. It was very warm and comfortable, which gave Zhao Yan'er another surprise!

Here, the mother and daughter sent the servants away and started talking privately!

"Ling'er, when did you first meet Young Master Zheng?"

Liu Yunjia always felt something was wrong, so she asked!

Su Qingling was puzzled: "Mother, what's wrong?"

"I always feel that the young master treats you differently than he treats others!"

Su Qingling smiled: "Mother, your daughter is his savior, so it's naturally different!"

Liu Yunjia still felt that her feeling was not wrong. The look in the young master's eyes when he looked at her daughter seemed to be deliberately suppressed, and it was not just a kind of gratitude to the benefactor!

However, he was just a little suspicious. Young Master Zheng was now a favorite of the emperor. It was said that he was chaste and, although he was not married, he had neither concubines nor maids in his family. He was a golden son-in-law in the eyes of many aristocratic families in the capital!
