Chapter 155 Help
When Mrs. Su arrived at the main hall, Su Changying was still talking to the ladies.
A dazzling array of congratulatory gifts are piled in the main hall, making it difficult for people to take their eyes away.
“Changying.”
Mrs. Su's face was pale, but there was no hint of joy.
Su Changying heard the sound and turned around to look.
“Mother.”
“Mrs. Su, congratulations.”
Several ladies saw Mrs. Su and hurriedly came forward to congratulate her.
“Everyone, take all your things back.”
As soon as Madam Su said these words, everyone's expressions changed.
Especially Su Changying, who said quickly: "Mom, why..."
"Shut up!" Old Madam Su glared at Su Changying, then looked at everyone with apologetic expressions on her face, "My son-in-law has always been diligent and thrifty, but he has three children to raise. Changying was also confused for a moment, and actually wanted to accept them. Everyone's gift, I am here to apologize to you all.”
“What Mrs. Su said, Mr. Lu has now become the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. It's good to have some things to decorate the appearance.”
Have a smart reaction.
After all, Lu Hong has just taken up his new post, and he has received so many congratulatory gifts. He is afraid that someone will catch him.
Mrs. Su did not waver at all and asked her servants to take back all the congratulatory gifts one by one. "If you really want to celebrate, the Lu family will move to a new house in a few days. I hope you can give it a try and come and get together."
“This is nature, this is nature.”
Seeing this, the ladies took back the congratulatory gifts and expressed in unison that they would give him face.
When all the guests in the main hall had left, Su Changying looked at Mrs. Su with a puzzled expression, "Mom, what are you doing?"
"You are confused!" Madam Su shook her head helplessly, with a look of hatred on her face. "You accepted the congratulatory gifts from these people just after Lu Hong took office. Do you think Lu Hong got the official position too soon?"
“Mom, isn't this... okay?”
Su Changying still didn't understand, but seeing Mrs. Su's anger, she asked cautiously.
Mrs. Su nodded her forehead and said, "You have become the royal censor's wife now. It seems that my mother will teach you well."
As soon as Shenshi passed, Su Leyun put down the needle and thread in his hand and rubbed his sore wrist.
He tidied up the sewing in front of him and stood up from his position.
She was the only one left in the embroidery room at this time.
Cuiliu is standing outside the door waiting.
"Miss."
Seeing Su Leyun coming out, Cuiliu put a coat on her.
At this time, snow was falling outside the house, and the green willows opened their umbrellas. The master and servant left the Lin Mansion and walked to the Su family.
As soon as we entered the Su Mansion, we saw the servants being busy.
“Are there any guests coming?”
Cuiliu guessed.
Su Leyun looked at the joy on the faces of the servants and stretched out his hand to stop the maid who was walking in front of him.
"What happened?"
"Second Miss." When the maid saw Su Leyun, she was startled for a moment, then quickly realized, "My uncle, he has been promoted."
Su Leyun's eyes flashed, and the imperial decree came down.
“Go to Huairou Pavilion first.”
Huairou Pavilion.
Ignoring the snowflakes on his clothes, Su Leyun hurriedly entered the house.
Sun Jiarou was leaning on the table holding her shoe soles. When she saw her coming in, she put down what she was holding.
“Why are you in such a hurry?”
Looking at Sun Jiarou's expression, Su Leyun asked: "Mom, what's going on with my uncle..."
"Your mother has been in the house all day, how could she not know about this." Sun Jiarou didn't change her mood much. "But it's strange that the person who received the imperial edict didn't come back. I don't know why."
Su Leyun couldn't figure out the reason for the moment.
While mother and daughter were thinking, Grandma Li came in.
“Madam, second young lady, the old lady calls you to go to the main hall, my uncle is back.”
Arrived at the main hall.
Lu Hong was standing in front of Mrs. Su, listening to the teachings.
“The son-in-law will pay attention.”
“Mom, everyone is here, please take a seat first.”
Su Changqing's face was full of smiles, and he looked proud.
Su Changying raised his eyes and looked at Sun Jiarou and Su Leyun. Thinking of something, she clapped her hands and said, "Brother, Yiyue and the others haven't come yet."
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Su's expression changed.
Su Changqing also showed a bit of embarrassment, "This banquet..."
“Brother, Yiyue is Lu Hong's cousin, so she can naturally attend this banquet. Is it possible that my sister-in-law is unwilling?”
Sun Jiarou clearly didn't say a word, but Su Changying insisted on involving her.
It's clear that it was done on purpose.
The people present who knew the truth all showed strange expressions after hearing Su Changying's words.
Only Sun Jiarou and Su Leyun looked calm.
"My aunt is really strange. She always feels that mother and Mrs. Wen don't get along. But Mrs. Wen is not the aunt of the family, and she has nothing to do with father. Why should mother embarrass her?"
Su Leyun pretended to be puzzled and looked at Su Changying, saying "childish talk".
But he could guess the relationship between the two.
Su Changqing glared at Su Changying, "You are just talking nonsense. Your sister-in-law is not like that. Madam, Changying has always been outspoken. Don't take it to heart."
“Don't worry, Mr. Hou, Changying has said this kind of nonsense not once or twice. If I get angry with her every time, wouldn't I be tiring myself out?”
Sun Jiarou smiled and pulled Su Leyun to sit down.
It's just that the gun and the stick made Su Changying look ugly.
“Everyone is here, but we are late.”
Wen Yiyue led Su Chongzhong and Su Yuqing into the main hall. The three of them were all dressed brightly, as if they were attending a palace banquet instead of a family banquet.
When she got closer, Wen Yiyue noticed the awkward atmosphere.
She frowned slightly, her eyes flashed, and she said, "Cousin, this is a gift to celebrate your promotion. It's a little thoughtful. I hope you won't dislike it."
Knowing Wen Yiyue's identity, Lu Hong didn't feel the slightest bit uncomfortable when facing her.
“Thank you very much, cousin Wen.”
The conversation between the two broke the awkward atmosphere.
Mrs. Su took her seat, everyone also sat down one by one, and the family banquet began.
When everyone is seated, the family banquet begins.
This was to celebrate the promotion, but there was not much joy at the dinner table.
Only the sound of dishes and chopsticks can be heard.
“Changying, are things in the new house okay?”
Mrs. Su spoke.
Su Changying replied: "Mom, it's almost done. We'll just wait until we clean it up and find an auspicious day to move over."
“Is the date determined?”
“I have calculated it with the master before and said that six days will be a good day.”
Seeing that she had made all the arrangements, Mrs. Su nodded with satisfaction.
Su Changying showed a slightly embarrassed look, "Mom, there is one more thing. In Suzhou, we rarely prepared such banquets before, and Xueying and the others are not able to help. I wonder if I can ask my sister-in-law to help me? "
Mrs. Su looked at Sun Jiarou and said, "Jiarou, you are fine these days, so just help Changying."
Before Sun Jiarou could speak, Su Leyun spoke first.
“Mom, you said you had a headache before, are you feeling better now?”
