general lady

Early in the morning, Su Wan found a good set of clothes and put them on the kang to prepare.It is one of the few clothes in Song Tusu's clothes. It looks quite expensive. The material is not sticky to the touch, and the appearance is also popular nowadays. It is exactly what Su Wan made for her after she had money so that she can wear it out to support her appearance of.

There was only a thin quilt covering her body, lying on her side, watching Su Wan carefully put her clothes on the hottest part of the kang, she smiled and said, "Can I go out today?"

"What are you thinking? You are not allowed to go out in the house today. These clothes are prepared for you. Seven Niang and Jiu Niang of the Zheng family are coming over today, and your identity...you can't meet them directly." Su Wan After a pause, he helped Song Tusu cover another layer of quilt, and then went out.

Ah Wu was waiting outside, Ling'er, Huang Li, and Cui Liu were standing at the door, seeing Su Wan coming out, she hurriedly saluted.

Huang Li and Cui Liu stood outside the door, Ling'er came in and said, "The yard has been tidied up."

"En." Su Wan nodded, "Go and have a look."

To entertain Zheng Qiniang and Zheng Jiuniang, Su Wan asked Ling'er and someone to tidy up a yard alone yesterday.The place is not far from Song Tusu's yard, but there is a wide garden in the middle, which is now empty. It is also convenient to go to other places, and you will not meet the craftsmen who are working.

It's just that the tidy yard is empty, the furniture in the house has been put up, and the kang is burning hot.Su Wan came out of the house, looked at the empty yard that could be seen at a glance, and said, "Find some unused big stones and place them in a circle. Then find some small pieces of wood and polish them smooth."

"Yes." Ling'er agreed, and hurriedly left with Huang Li and Cui Liu.

There was no one else in the yard except Ah Wu, Su Wan shook her arms relaxedly, and said to Ah Wu: "I'm going to polish a mahjong set, I use small wooden blocks, and I just sit on the kang to play, so it won't be cold, let alone boring."

Listening to Su Wan's words very seriously, Ah Wu patted his chest.

"It's getting colder and colder, and the situation in Beijing is getting more and more tense." After Su Wan finished speaking, she took Ah Wu out of the courtyard.

I went to see where the craftsmen were working, asked about today's food, and looked at the account book before Su Wan came back.It happened that Ling'er brought the servants to move large and small stones, and Su Wan hurriedly directed them.

On weekdays, when you look at very inconspicuous stones and arrange them according to the rules, you can find strange scenery.

"This one looks like a tiger, and it's placed at the door. The long one is placed vertically, and a part of it is buried underneath to make it as strong as possible." Su Wan said, "Our yard is called the Strange Stone Garden."

Placing stones means moving stones. At this time, all the servants came to help, except for the two gatekeepers at the main gate and the small gate, the servants in Song Tusu’s yard and the oldest woodcutter all came to help, and the stones were quickly arranged.

Not long after getting ready, the concierge ran over and said, "The two young ladies of the Zheng family have arrived."

"Well, Ling'er is ready." Su Wan said.

Outside, the plaque of the Song Mansion is still in good condition. After all, it is a royal gift, but no matter what, the facade is still the same as other big families.

Zheng Qiniang and Zheng Jiuniang took a carriage with two maids, and the driver was a rather old man.Su Wan ordered Qiao Da to take the coachman to rest, take Ling'er and Ah Wu to meet the two young ladies in person.

After entering the door, Su Wan smiled and said, "It's a coincidence that you all came here, I was thinking of something very interesting."

"What is it?" Zheng Qiniang asked curiously.From the moment they entered the door, the two ladies had smiles on their faces, and they looked depressed everywhere along the way, but they didn't show any other expressions.

On the contrary, the big girl who was following Zheng Qiniang had a bad expression on her face, she wanted to say something but didn't dare to pass her master, and kept holding back.

Acting as a big girl who didn't see Zheng Qiniang, Su Wan led her directly into the yard, and introduced, "This is the Qishiyuan. I have nothing to do when I have nothing to do. It's a good time to pass the time."

Standing at the door and watching, I happened to be able to see the stones in the yard staggered to form a pattern. When I went to the yard and looked again, I could find that the pattern had changed again. When I looked back at the door of the house, the shape was different again.

Zheng Jiuniang tugged at Zheng Qiniang's clothes, and said in surprise, "It's just stones to me, why do they look so strange?"

"The stones are different in height and size. When we look at it from different places, there are big stones blocking the small stones. Looking at it from different places, the small stones are just not blocked by the big stones, and there are bigger stones blocking them." Big rocks." Su Wan explained with a smile, "It's nothing to think about when you have nothing to do."

"It's very strange to me, I've never seen such an exquisite courtyard." Zheng Qiniang wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, glanced at Zheng Jiuniang, and said slowly, "I wonder if our sisters can also put up such a wonderful courtyard when we go back. courtyard?"

"Of course." Su Wan smiled, "Go inside, it's really windy outside."

There were some hot tea and pastries outside. The two young ladies ate them last time, so it was a bit strange to see them again at this time.The kang inside was hot, so I took off my shoes and sat on it, it was warm.

Ling'er had already retreated, and at this time many wooden blocks of the same size were sent.

"Here comes the thing." Su Wan smiled and took the wooden block.

The four maids who came with the two ladies were all outside, and just when Ling'er came out after finishing her errands, she led them to burn charcoal pots outside and play with other things.Originally, she came from Zheng's family, and she was also a member of Zheng Yanfeng. The four maids and the master were all concubines. This is a bit subtle. Although Ling'er is now with Su Wan, she is now the only big maid beside Su Wan. , managing the big and small matters in the mansion is much better than the two maids who can only follow the master.

There was a subtle difference, and Ling'er was able to carry it, and served fresh food, and the atmosphere outside was very good.

Inside, Zheng Qiniang already knew that there was a kang here, and because of Zheng Yanfeng's relationship, the Zheng family also built some, but it was not their turn yet.Taking off her shoes and sitting on the kang, Zheng Qiniang said, "It's warm, and it's not that cold in winter."

"That's right." Su Wan smiled, pointed to the block and began to talk about the rules she had conceived.

Use a brush to paint different patterns, Su Wan said it again, Zheng Qiniang and Zheng Jiuniang were curious, and they also took the brush to learn to paint.After painting, Su Wan talked about the rules to be followed, and at the same time pulled Ah Wu who had been standing by the side to watch, and the four of them tried to play a game.

Novel things are unprecedented after all, after playing one game after another, it is past noon before you know it.

The food had already been set outside, and after eating, Zheng Jiuniang asked, "I wonder if the general is at the house?"

It was a bit impolite for an unmarried young lady to ask so bluntly. Zheng Qiniang tugged at Zheng Jiuniang's sleeve, and hurriedly said, "My sister has always been curious, and she wants to see if she wants to find a husband-in-law like a general. There will be a standard in the future.”

"Maybe we can see you in the afternoon." Su Wan knew those taboos in her heart, but she didn't have any way to abide by them. She just nodded indistinctly and said, "Are you still playing or not? I won't lose again in the afternoon."

"Of course we have to play." Zheng Qiniang laughed.

After playing about three games, Su Wan lost two games, so she pretended to be unhappy and got up, "I'm going out to get some air."

There were two people missing, two girls from the outer room went in, and they quickly started playing. After a while, the other two girls and Ling'er also went in, four of them were playing, and the others stood by and watched.

After walking around outside, she went back to the yard and asked Song Tusu to dress up. When Su Wan came back again, she saw that two girls were missing, she didn't ask why, she continued to play with a smile, but she didn't lose again.

Not long after, the two girls came back and felt a little uncomfortable seeing Su Wan.

"I was so busy playing, I didn't notice that I drank too much water." Zheng Qiniang said embarrassedly.Zheng Jiuniang also agreed repeatedly, and Su Wan asked Ling'er to lead the two ladies to the toilet.

Not long after, Ling'er came back alone and said, "Miss Seven and Miss Nine called their servants back, saying that they would come back by themselves."

"I see." Su Wan nodded.

The charcoal basin outside was very hot, Su Wan squatted beside the charcoal basin to warm her hands, when her legs were about to go numb, the two ladies finally came back.

Zheng Qiniang smiled and said: "It's almost time, we two should go back, next time you go to play with us."

"Definitely." Su Wan smiled, turned to Ling'er and said, "Ask Master Qiao to arrange a carriage."

After seeing off the two ladies, it was almost dark, Su Wan stretched her waist, went back to Song Tusu's courtyard, and had dinner together.

Having changed the clothes that Su Wan prepared during the day, Song Tusu asked puzzledly: "Two people came this afternoon, they saw me at the gate of the yard, turned around and ran away, are they from the Zheng family?"

"En." Su Wan nodded.

"You asked me to open the window and stand at the door just to let them see me?" Song Tusu was even more puzzled.

Sighing helplessly, Su Wan said firmly: "This is the only way to make them give up. Otherwise, they will miss you all day long, and they may come up with some other way to meet you. If you get raw rice and cooked rice, then you will be Name yourself, or marry her?"

Shut up, Song Tusu stopped talking.

After eating, he lay down on the kang again, and when Su Wan blew on the lamp, he also lay down. Song Tusu said sullenly, "Will they change their minds when they see me?"

"No." Su Wan didn't sleep either, she pinched the wooden sign in her clothes and said, "If I really like you, I definitely won't just give up like this, but I won't try to find out what you are Sample."

There was also the plan in her heart that Su Wan didn't say out, she felt that she was pretty bad, and Zheng Qiniang and Zheng Jiuniang might find a way to marry Song Tusu in the future, and then she could take advantage of it.

Maybe it's because she had more contact with Zheng Yanfeng, planned more, and the kindness in her heart seemed to be compressed to a very small extent, but Su Wan didn't regret doing so, at least Zheng Qiniang and Zheng Jiuniang thought of a way to get close to Song Tusu, it was purposeful Yes, she was just pushing the boat with the flow.

"Go to sleep." Without knowing what Su Wan was thinking, Song Tusu patted her in the dark through the quilt.

On the second day, when Su Wan was still having breakfast, Zheng Yanfeng sent a letter asking Su Wan which one had a better temper, Zheng Jiuniang or Zheng Qiniang.

Handing the letter to Song Tusu, Su Wan said, "This is asking you."

"I haven't talked to them, what can I know, besides..." Song Tusu looked at Su Wan strangely and said, "I think they are good for you?"
