Chapter 296 Reasonable Socialization
Su Ying touched the bridge of her nose and said calmly, "No."
Mother Zhao was stunned, and Su Ying heard her whisper: "How could there be none? What a pity..."
Su Ying: “???”
"After all, this is Madam's dowry. Any item here can buy a small house in the suburbs of Beijing."
Su Ying knew that these things were valuable, but she didn't expect them to be so valuable. "Then we have to keep them well." In fact, she wanted to sell them. These things were good-looking but useless, so it would be better to sell them for silver. But as soon as Xiao Jin came back, she sold off her property on a large scale, which inevitably made people wonder if the Prince Qi's Mansion was going to make any move.
Mother Zhao looked at the dowry with emotion. She came here with Jiang Yuanshi back then, and later became Su Ying's foster mother. It can be said that she has the deepest feelings for Su Ying and her daughter.
"Just now I checked and found that only about 30% or 40% of the items were brought back this time. Most of them were antiques and ornaments, as well as the bed, tables, chairs, and wardrobes that Madam used when she got married. After Madam passed away, Genji Koe had these things put away. I don't know where they are now."
"I'll have them all sent over later."
Mother Zhao glanced at Su Ying. Based on her understanding of Xiao Jiang Yuanshi, would she be able to deliver the things over obediently?
"Princess, you really didn't do anything?"
"I moved. The guards tried to stop me, so I beat them away."
Mother Zhao nodded, and after having people carefully pack up and count everything, she returned to the yard with Su Ying.
Bai Shuang knew that Su Ying was hungry, so she went to the big kitchen to urge for food after she came back.
After Su Ying had eaten, she took a nap with the two babies, but they didn’t sleep for too long. They woke up after dozing off for half an hour.
As Su Ying walked to the outer room, Lin Zhuyu came in with some snacks.
"Princess, have some snacks to wake yourself up."
Su Ying took a sip of tea. She liked the tea from the capital. It was slightly bitter at first but always left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth. It could improve her appetite.
"Princess, the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion has sent you an invitation." Bai Shuang walked into the room holding a piece of invitation.
Su Ying ate snacks and took the invitation nonchalantly, "Chang'an Marquis' Mansion?" As soon as she read it out loud, a memory flashed through her mind.
"She" has a bad reputation. The self-righteous and noble ladies in the capital look down on her and are unwilling to be friends with her, except for Li Qinlan, the third lady of the Chang'an Marquis' Mansion.
Su Ying's memory flashed through her mind, and she threw the post on the table, "No."
This Li Qinlan is a person with a weak sense of presence. Judging from what she has done with "her" in the past, there is nothing wrong with it.
But she had no obligation to deal with the original owner's previous friends.
Mother Zhao just walked into the room. After hearing what Su Ying said, she picked up the invitation and looked at it. "This kind of banquet is nothing more than those ladies and gentlemen eating and drinking to kill time. It doesn't matter if the princess doesn't go. But I heard that the Chang'an Marquis's Mansion got a lot of lambs back, and they are going to hold a full lamb banquet at the mansion tomorrow."
Su Ying paused for a moment, "With so many people, how many lambs can we eat?"
Mother Zhao smiled and said, "I didn't see it when the princess went to the palace banquet. The ladies were very reserved. They put down their chopsticks after taking a few bites. If the princess went there, wouldn't the sheep belong to her?"
Su Ying was silent. They were just a few sheep...
"Marquis Chang'an is a man who loves pleasure. He has specially invited a chef from Xiliang to come over for tomorrow's banquet. Has the princess tried Xiliang dishes?"
Su Ying shook her head.
"This Xiliang dish has a very light flavor. It emphasizes the original taste. This happens to be Old Man He's weakness. So it's normal that the princess has never tried Xiliang dishes. It's a pity. The chicken is just soaked in water. Just dip it in the small jade dish of dipping sauce and take a bite. You'll be hooked."
Su Ying swallowed subconsciously. She was not a greedy person, she was just a little curious about the Chang'an Marquis Mansion.
"Go and report to the people at Chang'an Marquis Mansion. I'll go there tomorrow."
"Princess, you'd better not go. It's quite boring."
Su Ying shook her head seriously, "Mother Zhao, you don't understand, this is called reasonable social interaction."
Mother Zhao pursed her lips and smiled secretly. She wanted Su Ying to go. She wanted those people who had not taken the princess seriously in the past to see that their princess was different now!
Besides, she also wanted to take the opportunity to let Su Ying know more about the people and things in the capital. After all, she didn't know how long she would stay here.
When Xiao Jin returned home in the evening, he heard Zhang Shuming tell him what had happened during the day.
Xiao Jin nodded and walked into the yard, but was told that Su Ying and the others were in the martial arts training ground.
There is a large martial arts training ground in the Prince of Qi's mansion. In the past, he would go there to practice martial arts for half an hour every day. This is also the place where the guards of the palace conduct daily training.
Xiao Jin looked at the darkening sky and had no idea what Su Ying was doing with the children in the martial arts training ground.
Xiao Jin walked into the martial arts training ground. The light inside was very dim and he could only vaguely see a few figures standing in the field from a distance.
There were a few candles lit in the venue. As soon as Xiao Jin walked over, those candles were blown out instantly by a gust of wind.
Then came the cheers of the two kids, "Mom is so great!"
The guard stepped forward and lit the candle.
The faint light shone on Su Ying's face, making her eyebrows and eyes look softer.
"It's not difficult to use a stone to extinguish a candle. It's just like the bell game that A Niang taught you to play before, but now it's in the dark." This training can make your vision sharper, so that you can hit the target accurately even in the dark. Most importantly, it can train your concentration.
Dabao tried to pick up a sandbag, concentrated his attention and aimed at the candle not far away, and suddenly threw it out.
With a "bang", the sandbag hit the stand supporting the candle.
“No.”
"You are just starting out, don't be in a hurry, practice slowly."
Xiao Jin picked up the sandbag beside him and threw it out gently. The candle went out before the sandbag even touched the fire.
"Daddy?"
Only then did the two treasures realize that Xiao Jin had returned.
Xiao Jin patted their little heads and said, "Peerless martial arts cannot be mastered in one day. Take your time and learn the Qi training that your mother taught you first."
The two little guys nodded obediently.
The family of four returned to the house.
"You were not embarrassed when you went to the Prime Minister's Mansion today?"
Su Ying sat down at the dining table and wiped Dabao's face with a handkerchief. "Who is making things difficult for whom?"
Xiao Jin raised his eyebrows, "I heard that Prime Minister Su fell ill."
Su Ying raised her eyelids and said, "You are angry, right? I didn't hit you hard."
Xiao Jin took a sip of tea and said, "He still has to save his dignity." He was not worried that this matter would get out. After all, it was not a glorious thing for a grown man to be beaten by his own daughter until his face was swollen.
"Are you going to Chang'an Marquis' Mansion tomorrow?"
"Go, what?"
"It's okay, eat more."
Su Ying: “…”
