Pink Conspiracy

Chapter 111: Reciprocity

After the carriage walked for a while, Zi Ting curiously said, "The shopkeeper of Mo Bao Pavilion looks respectful to Miss Su. Is Mo Bao Pavilion the property of Su Mansion?"

Sun Qingxue shook her head, "In the battle twelve years ago, the treasury was empty and overwhelmed, and the supply of grain and grass was insufficient. The Royal Palace of Rong'an and Su Palace sold most of their industries to support the frontline. Later, King Rong'an and Princess died on the battlefield. General Su He rescued Ye Shizi, and after returning to Beijing, when he took the blame and resigned, he sold all the remaining properties of the Su Mansion and only took away some silver, most of which were given to Ye Shizi. In the past twelve years, no people in the Su Mansion have ever set foot When I entered the capital, I never heard that there would be any Su Fu industry to make a living."

Zi Ting wondered, "The Mobao Pavilion has always been standing in the capital, which is very mysterious. Who is behind the scenes? I respect Miss Su so much?"

Sun Qingxue said, "I heard from my brother that Mo Bao Pavilion is the property of the Ye Family. In the past two days, it has been said that Miss Su and Young Master Ye are brothers and sisters. The treasurer of the Mo Bao Pavilion respects Miss Su. It should be based on the face of Young Master Ye. on."

Zi Ting suddenly said, "It turned out to be like this." When the words fell, she was even more curious, "Miss, wait for Miss Minger Su to be a guest in our mansion. When you chat with her, ask her how she worshiped Young Master Ye. How about the same master?"

Sun Qingxue reached out her hand and knocked on her head, and said with a smile, "If you ask about too many things, people will not like it."

Zi Ting rubbed her head and whispered, "It's been a long time recently, and I can see the third son of Su visit our grandfather every three to five. The grandfather likes the third son of Su very much, and the slave-maid also heard the grandpa and his wife praise the third son of Su's cleverness two days ago. Yeah, it’s just one point."

Sun Qingxue smiled, "Su Mansion is a military commander's residence. It is rare that the third son of Su is talented in culture and politics."

Zi Ting shook her head, "Not only is Wenzheng, but it is said that Young Master Su is also very good at martial arts, but he can't beat Miss Su."

Sun Qingxue was funny when she heard the words.

Zi Ting said again, "The young lady hasn't met the third son of Su, right? The slave and maid met once that day. She stood with our son in good looks and was not inferior to our son."

Sun Qingxue glared at her, "How can you talk about men without shying away? Stop it."

Zi Ting stuck out her tongue and stopped talking.

The master and servant returned to Su Mansion. When they were at the door, they encountered Su Qing walking out of it. When he saw Sun Qingxue getting off the carriage, he was taken aback, hurriedly turned sideways, and gave way to the door very politely.

Sun Qingxue also didn't expect that Zi Ting had just finished talking about Su Qing, so she ran into it so soon. She raised her eyes and looked at Su Qing, and bowed her respectfully, "San Gongzi, it's polite."

Su Qing quickly returned the gift, "Miss Sun is polite."

Sun Qingxue saw that his posture was as beautiful as a bamboo, and he was handsome and handsome. He did not have the rashness of a military commander. He retreated with Su Fengnuan's casual aura, and couldn't help but smile and say something more, " I just ran into Sister Su on the road. She and I met as soon as we met and invited Sister Su to be a guest at the mansion tomorrow. If the third son comes to visit his father again tomorrow, I will bring Sister Su together."

Su Qing was taken aback for a moment, looked at Sun Qingxue, and said strangely, "Miss Sun said I met my little...my little sister?"

Sun Qingxue nodded.

Su Qing asked again, "Invite her to visit the mansion tomorrow?"

Sun Qingxue nodded again.

Su Qing secretly scolded Su Fengnuan when one day was quiet, she unexpectedly ran out of the house to play again, and also ran into Miss Sun. Her temperament, she had been in contact with Sun Qingxue for a long time, and she couldn't bring them to damage? But of course he didn't want to say to Sun Qingxue who had just met, and could only nod his head, "Well, when I come over tomorrow, bring her over."

Sun Qingxue said with a smile, "San Gongzi walk slowly."

Su Qing gave another gift and left the prime minister's house.

After Su Qing left, Zi Ting approached Sun Qingxue and whispered, "Miss, the servant girl is right? Look at the third son, who is polite and elegant, isn't our son inferior? And we are both civil and military."

Sun Qingxue stretched out her hand to push her and said with a smile, "So many words are broken, I will send you to him tomorrow."

Zi Ting was startled, and she suddenly felt bitter, "Miss, the slave and maid would never dare to say anything anymore, don't say anything."

Sun Qingxue stopped talking to Zi Ting and went to the inner courtyard with the brocade box. When she met the young man, she asked, "Where is my brother?"

A young fellow immediately replied, "Miss Hui, the son just returned to the house and went to the study."

Sun Qingxue nodded and took the brocade box to the study.

At the entrance of the study, Sun Qingxue knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother!"

"Come in." Sun Zeyu's Qingrun voice came from inside.

Sun Qingxue opened the door and saw Sun Zeyu clearing the paper on the desk. She walked forward holding the brocade box and handed it to him, "This is the Yuzhilan brush wash my brother wanted. I'll get it back for you."

Sun Zeyu opened his eyes and said with a smile, "I'm bothering my sister."

Sun Qingxue hesitated for a while, and said, "The silver tael you gave me was not spent. This wash is the money that Miss Su Mansion spent."

Sun Zeyu was startled and looked up at her, "Why Miss Su Mansion spent the money? Su Feng Nuan?"

Sun Qingxue nodded, "It's her." After finishing her words, she explained how she met Su Fengnuan today and how she got her to give this baptism as a gift.

After listening to Sun Zeyu, he smiled and said, "Is there such a thing?" When the words fell, he smiled and said, "Why didn't my sister say that I wanted to buy this wash?"

Sun Qingxue shook her head, "Ms. Su is very sincere. She looks like an informal person. Even if I said that my brother wanted to buy the brush wash, she probably wouldn't care to give it to me, so she thought that one thing is worse than something less, and for her brother. I took it and didn't tell her."

Sun Zeyu nodded, "That's right, but if you accept such an expensive gift from others, you have to carefully consider the courtesy to return a gift."

Sun Qingxue nodded, "I invite her to be a guest at our house tomorrow, and I will go to the main courtyard and talk to my mother later."

Sun Zeyu nodded, "I should talk to my mother and make some preparations." When he finished, he pondered for a while, took out a brocade box from the drawer of the bookcase and handed it to her, "You take this to Miss Su as a gift Right."

Sun Qingxue was shocked, "Brother? There is a twelve-bones jade fan inside, right? There is only this one in the world, which is a hand-crafted seal of the mountain. Don't you like it very much? How do you get this out? Give it away?"

Sun Zeyu smiled and said, "I heard that Miss Su gave you such an expensive gift without blinking, and she and Ye Jia's consort are senior brothers and sisters. It can be seen that there is no shortage of good things, and they are not people with shallow knowledge as rumored. This twelve-bone jade fan is called a jade fan, but it can also be used as a weapon. Putting bone needles in it can be used as a hidden weapon for self-defense. I heard that she is fond of martial arts. Zhang’s work of closing the mountain is not more valuable than the brush wash, and its value is equivalent to this brush wash. Although I like it, I shouldn’t bear it in front of the etiquette.”

Sun Qingxue hesitated, "I don't think Miss Su is a person who pays much attention to etiquette. I will find other gifts. How can I win my brother's love?"

Sun Zeyu smiled, "Just as Miss Sun said, no matter how good things are, it's dead. If your brother doesn't even look at this, he will ignore his father's teaching. Take it."

Sun Qingxue nodded when she heard the words, "Since my brother said so, then okay, I will give her this." When the words were over, she put away the brocade box.

The siblings chatted a few more words, and Sun Qingxue left the study and went to the main courtyard.

Madam Sun was watering the flowers. Seeing Sun Qingxue came, she smiled and asked, "I heard that you went to the Mobao Pavilion to help your brother get the jade zhilan brush? Can you get it back?"

Sun Qingxue nodded, "Take it back." After speaking, she told Mrs. Sun about the encounter with Su Fengnuan.

Madam Sun laughed after hearing this, "Although General Su is a military commander, he is also from a family. Although the Fenshui Su clan has long been hidden in the city, he is also strict in etiquette for his children and grandchildren. The courtesy of the scholar's residence is well known. Their daughter did not inherit them."

Sun Qingxue smiled and said, "From the perspective of my daughter and Sister Su meeting today, she is not someone who does not understand etiquette. On the contrary, she is just more casual. Otherwise, it is not when I only help a little. It’s such an expensive gift."

Madam Sun smiled and nodded, "She gave such an expensive gift. It shouldn't be all because you helped her with a small favor today. It is probably for the third son of Su. Your father has been telling the third son of Su for some time."

Sun Qingxue immediately said, "Because of this instruction, haven't the Wang Mansion and Su Mansion already gifted their father?"

Mrs. Sun smiled and said, “I heard that the four brothers and sisters in the Su Mansion have had a very good relationship since childhood. Although the third son of Su and Miss Su always fight, they have nothing to say about their feelings. The gifts from the Wang Mansion and the Su Mansion are for From the elders, the gift she gave is for you, that is, she has a heart to associate with you. So, from this point of view, Miss Su is really not as unbearable as the rumors, I am afraid it is a person with a delicate heart."

Sun Qingxue nodded, "Didn't Dad also say it earlier? Even though Miss Su's trouble in front of the Queen Mother has ruined her reputation, it stopped the Queen Mother's eagerness to promote the marriage, maybe it was deliberate."

Madam Sun nodded, "My mother has never seen her. I will see her when she comes tomorrow." When the words fell, she said with a smile, "Your brother took out the fan and brought it back from Qiaoshou Zhang. When I was not willing to play with it, I put it away."

Sun Qingxue smiled and said, "My brother knows that Miss Su Xiwu, except for this one in my brother's hand, we really can't pick a good weapon in our house. My brother is willing to take out this."

Mrs. Sun nodded, "Your brother is right. No matter how good things are, it's dead. If your brother doesn't even look at this, he will ignore his father's teaching. Now that he took it out, you can give it to Miss Su. ."

Sun Qingxue nodded.
