Drunk House Chapter 188

Chapter 188 Reminder (Second Update)

Rui'an Palace's banquets are of high standard, and the food and wine are delicious.

Duan Hua whispered to Su Rong: "You don't know how many people in Beijing want to have a relationship with Mr. Shen. In the past, for such an ordinary banquet, Mrs. Shen would shirk her discomfort and not come to the banquet. You are really proud of yourself. Today, Mrs. Shen is here for you."

Su Rong also whispered to her in her ear, "It's not because of my face, but because of my Uncle Xie. He and Uncle Shen had a deep friendship in the past, and my elder brother and I were taken care of by the Shen family."

Duanhua said in a low voice: "From now on, no one who can't wait will dare to impeach you."

Princess mansion maintenance is nothing more than that, the meeting gift from Princess Rui'an is rich and conveys goodwill. Princess Sheng'an of the Huguogong's mansion didn't have to condescend to attend this ordinary banquet, but she obviously came here for Su Rong, breaking the rumors that she and the Huguogong's mansion had a bad relationship due to divorce.

People in Beijing are not stupid. From now on, Su Rong has entered the circle of elites in Beijing, and no one dares to underestimate him.

After the two of them whispered a few words, they did it properly again.

Zhou Yun looked at the intimacy between the two of them, and thought to herself, Duanhua has also changed, and he didn't look around for Zhou Gu today, as if he didn't remember that there was someone like him coming to the banquet today.

Everyone was lively and chatting with each other.

Su Rong heard a lady not far away whispering: "Is that young master in the blue gown the eldest son Su? He looks really handsome, and Miss Su Qi is indeed brother and sister."

Su Rong raised her eyes when she heard the words, and following the young lady's line of sight, she saw her elder brother Su Xingze sitting sideways on the male guest's side across a long corridor.

Beside him, Feng Ling sat on the left, and Zhou Gu sat on the right. It seems that there is no reason for her resignation to affect Zhou Gu and Su Xing's friendship.

Su Rong retracted his gaze.

I only heard a lady at the same table ask Su Rong in a low voice, "Miss Su Qi, I heard that your eldest brother is not engaged yet?"

As soon as she said this, many people looked at her.

The young lady blushed, and quickly explained, "Don't get me wrong. Since ancient times, there has been a saying of catching a son-in-law under the list? I heard that many people in Beijing are eyeing that Mr. Su." She paused, and reminded in a friendly and tactful way, "I mean, Miss Su Qi reminded your elder brother to be careful on the day the list was revealed."

Su Rong remembered that this lady was Miss Six of Yushi Zhongcheng's family, her eyes were bright and sincere, she smiled and thanked sincerely, "Thank you, Miss Wang Six, for reminding me."

After the banquet, everyone left Rui'an Palace one after another. At the gate of Rui'an Palace, Su Xing was waiting there. When he saw Su Rong and his party, he bowed his hands to Qingping to salute, "Princess, princess."

Qingping smiled, "Can you follow your sister through the Princess Mansion?"

Su Xing knew that his younger sister would not go to the Shen Mansion with him today. He felt helpless and shook his head, "I will accompany Aunt Shen back to the Shen Mansion, and I will visit you at the Princess Mansion another day."

Qingping smiled and nodded, and got into the carriage.

Duanhua didn't pay much attention to Su Xingze at first, but during the banquet today, many daughters were talking about Su Xingze. Now that she saw someone, she looked at Su Xingze carefully for a moment, and reminded him frankly, "Today, the princess heard a lot of people talking about you, saying that many people are staring at you. When the list is released, they want to catch you under the list. Be careful."

Su Xingze: "..."

"Don't take it seriously. Men are only good-looking, but they can't read well. You still have to know how to protect yourself."

Su Xingze: "..."

After Duanhua finished speaking, he ignored him and pulled Su Rong into the carriage.

After Su Rong got into the carriage, she glanced back and saw that Su Xingze's face was full of indescribable expressions. She laughed, "Brother, you can go back with Aunt Shen, I will go to Shen's residence tomorrow."

Feng Ling patted Su Xingze on the shoulder, "Brother, good-looking people have to protect themselves. Just like me, many daughters are looking at me today, and I didn't even glance over."

Su Xing was completely speechless.

Feng Ling got on the horse with a smile, and followed the carriage of the Princess Mansion and left.

Mrs. Shen came out later, and was amused, "Let's go, Xing Ze."

Su Xing turned around and saluted, and invited Mrs. Shen to get in the car, while he rode his horse and returned to Shen's residence.

Princess Qingping's carriage passed by the bustling long street. Princess Qingping suddenly remembered something, and said to Duanhua and Su Rong: "I ordered clothes for you two at Qianjinfang a few days ago. It should be made, so there is no need for someone to send it. We pass by today, let's get off the car and bring them back. Also, let's see if there are any new rouge and gouache jewelry arriving."

After she finished speaking, she smiled at Su Rong and said, "It's been a long time since you've been in Beijing, haven't you visited any shops yet? How about going to Qianjinfang to choose some jewelry?"

Su Rong just wanted to say that she had a lot of jewelry, but she hated the trouble and didn't bring it when she came to Beijing. Besides, after she entered the princess mansion, the princess and princess gave her a box of jewelry, which couldn't be worn at all.

Su Rong had no choice but to be dragged out of the car by Duan Hua.

Qianjinfang is very big, twice the size of Jinxiu Pavilion in Jiangning County. In addition to ready-made clothing fabrics, there are also rouge, gouache, and Zhuchai jewelry.

Su Rong asked Duanhua: "Who is the owner behind this Qianjinfang? It's so rich and powerful."

Duanhua whispered: "It is said that she is a precious concubine."

Su Rong didn't know about the precious concubine on purpose, and was puzzled, "Why did you hear it? You are the princess, and if you want to know about the master behind the scenes, don't you have it at your fingertips?"

Duanhua stared, "Who said that? Even if I am the princess, there are things that I can't touch. The forces in Beijing are intertwined. No one has a secret. How can I easily explore the secrets hidden by others. Even if I am favored by the emperor's uncle, I dare not reach out. What if my emperor's uncle is behind the precious concubine?"

Su Rong felt reasonable, "I am shallow."

Hey, she was not born and raised in the capital, it seems that she still has a lot to learn.

Princess Qingping is a high-ranking guest of Qianjinfang, and also a regular customer. The shopkeeper personally came out to entertain, "Princess, the clothes you ordered a few days ago are ready, and I was going to send them to the mansion today, but I heard that you went to the Prince Ruian's mansion. I was afraid that you would not be there after the clerk delivered them, so I couldn't check them in person. I thought that you would return to the mansion at night and send them to you, but you came instead."

Princess Qingping nodded, "Take it out and have a look, if something is not suitable, just leave it here and make changes."

"Exactly." The shopkeeper went to the back room in person, took out a tightly wrapped package, opened it layer by layer, and inside were four bright and colorful dresses.

"Ah, it's so beautiful." Duanhua's eyes lit up, and he reached out to touch it, "This is brocade material, mother, when did you get so willing? Buy two for each of us."

These two items cost a lot of money.

Qingping said with a smile: "A few days ago, Qianjinfang said that a batch of new materials that were difficult to find came, thanks to the shopkeeper who sent me the news at the first time."

She looked at Su Rong and Duanhua, "The red and pink ones are yours, and the green and blue ones are Su Rong's. You go to the inner room and try it out, take it away if it suits you, and keep it if it doesn't fit for the embroiderer to change."

Duanhua nodded again and again, very happy, embraced the clothes, and urged Su Rong, "What are you doing standing there stupidly? Go, go and try."

Su Rong ate and drank the clothes from the Princess Mansion. After she and Feng Ling entered the mansion, Princess Qingping also had two ordinary clothes made for her and Feng Ling, but she never expected that she would order such two expensive clothes for her in private.

She could tell at a glance that the material of this brocade was the same as the original batch of materials in Jinxiu Pavilion, perhaps the same batch leaked from the imperial offering.

She couldn't move, she shook her head at Princess Qingping, "Princess, this is too expensive, I can't accept such expensive things from you..."

Princess Qingping raised her hand to interrupt her, "It's just two clothes, you just keep them, go!"

She said it lightly, as if she didn't take it seriously, but Su Rong knew how much it was worth. She was helpless. She used Duanhua to live in the princess mansion. Although she wanted to eat and drink, she didn't want to earn so much from others.

"Oh, my mother is a princess. My imperial grandfather gave her half of the private treasury before he passed away, and the imperial grandmother gave her half before her death. She went to my imperial uncle every now and then to cry poorly and robbed my imperial uncle's private treasury. She has plenty of money. If she gives it to you, you can take it. Don't dawdle."

Su Rong had no choice but to go with her, thinking that the princess has money, and someone else has it, but such a generous sum was given to her out of intention, and she couldn't accept it too calmly. However, the current relationship between her and the Princess Mansion is inseparable. If she leaves the Princess Manor tomorrow, this relationship will not be broken, and she will come and go frequently in the future, but it can be accepted.

Thank you for your monthly pass! The last day of the month!

The big update that everyone cares about will be on the 1st, see you tomorrow!
