As the daughter of the prefect, Song Sui, although in poor health, still attends some gatherings at the back houses of wealthy families or officials every year.

Just go less often.

For example, this year I just attended a tea party held by Mrs. Ouyang Mansion in early spring.

When she first met Su, she had a vague feeling that she had seen her before somewhere.

It wasn't until tonight that she remembered that Mrs. Su looked like a lady she had seen in Ouyang Mansion, but Mrs. Su was thinner and the lady was much plumper.

That day, the lady brought only one maid. She sat down and listened to the overt and covert taunts of Mrs. Ouyang and the other ladies.

But he kept silent, his face flushed, and he was full of embarrassment.

Later, Peng's mother told her that the lady was the stepmother of the deputy commander of the city defense.

Logically speaking, the deputy commander-in-chief of guarding the city holds a high position, and as his wife, she would not be ridiculed to the point of shame.

"After returning home, Peng's mother went to find out that the lady was originally a merchant and the legitimate daughter of the Su family, the richest man in Yun Mansion more than ten years ago.

Later, the Su family was defeated for unknown reasons, and it was rumored that her status in her husband's family was unstable.

Even the wives of officials in the Yun Mansion looked down upon him. "

Song Sui said slowly, "Auntie looks very similar to that lady, but Auntie looks much more confident."

In the darkness, Li Yao sighed in his heart, his mother's self-confidence only gained in the past two years.

If Sister Sui had met her mother a few years ago, she would probably have discovered that she resembled the deputy commander's wife she mentioned.

If she guessed correctly, the deputy commander's wife was my mother's biological sister.

When the decision was made to settle down at Yun Mansion, my mother was unwilling in every possible way. Until now, I have been living in D'ao Village and have no intention of stepping out of the village.

It must be because of the Su family.

I don’t know what happened to my mother to make her unwilling to recognize the Su family.

But it is undeniable that the Su family has been hit hard in all aspects since their mother escaped from marriage.

But in this matter, as a daughter, she must respect her mother's wishes.

"People are similar," Li Yao said softly, "Our hometown is Qingshan Village in Qiancheng, thousands of miles away from Yun Mansion."

Song Sui heard this and said, "That's right. They are so far apart, and they can't even be relatives."

Li Yao was lucky that she didn't know her mother's surname was Su yet, so she managed to deal with it.

"Go to sleep!"

After chatting for so long, Song Sui finally fell asleep.

Listening to the shallow breathing, Li Yao got up from the bed again, lit the lamp and looked back at the bed.

After confirming that Sister Sui was really sleeping peacefully, she took out a pen and paper and started writing a letter.

Since they parted ways in the capital, she and Xiaojiu have not had any contact or letters for two months.

This is the first letter between them.

Li Yao was not awkward, he picked up the brush and went straight to the problem.

He talked about the recent situation in Yun Mansion and also talked about the current situation of everyone in the family.

Unknowingly, I wrote more than a dozen pieces of paper.

Later, I realized that there were too many and it was a waste of paper, so I secretly took out a water-based pen to write.

The pens of later generations are still useful!

Another full page, this page is filled with her recent plans and her hope that the Yun Mansion can be settled.

The last thing is to ask for someone. After staying in Yun Mansion for a long time, she found that there was no useful person around her.

This made her unable to perform her duties, and she was always worried about the safety of her family.

When Black Face received the letter, his face turned dark.

My aunt wrote a book for the young master?

With this thickness, he doubted that half of it was for people calling him "yellow-faced". After all, it was impossible for his aunt to call him "yellow-face".

"What's wrong, you can't send it?"

Li Yao frowned and his face became unhappy.

"Yes! Yes!" He responded hurriedly. "I'll send it out right now."

Before leaving, he said, "I will be at Yun Mansion in the near future."

"Go!" Li Yao waved.

She knew that Hei Lian couldn't completely stay here before the task at hand was completed, so she didn't force it.

He can say this because he cares about everyone.

Li Yao is still very satisfied with this.

Compared with black face, yellow face is really heartless. They have been together for so long and only do their own work without caring about any human kindness or face.

Thinking of this, Li Yao wanted to call the black face back, and she had to add a page of scolding yellow faces.

I went back to my room and took a nap, then I woke up and all the girls were here.

Song Sui was also prepared early.

"Did you fight ghosts at night? Did you sleep so late?" Siya complained softly.

Li Yao smiled at her, "It's still early!"

Last night, Su Shi heard that they were going to dig wild vegetables today.

I got up early in the morning and prepared some food.

She has also been a girl, and knows that it is a lie for them to dig wild vegetables today, but it is true to accompany Miss Song.

So I made a basket full of food and asked them to take it to the mountain to eat.

Li Yao ate a steamed bun for breakfast and went hiking up the mountain with everyone.

Since they moved to Da'ao Village, there have been a few more roads going up the mountain.

But today I still took the road closest to her home and headed up the mountain.

The girls were very enthusiastic about Song Sui and walked very quickly. They introduced the plants they knew to Song Sui as they walked.

Song Sui responded gently, and when she met someone she knew, she would be happy to say that she knew him.

Zhu Cuihua didn't talk much. She carried a basket on her back and a small hoe in her hand.

She was busier than the other girls, digging out all the edible wild vegetables she came across, so she was the only one sweating profusely along the way.

Sanya is close to her, so she is closest to her.

"Didn't we agree that today is mainly about playing?"

Zhu Cuihua raised her head and looked at the girls in front of her, as well as Miss Song, who was holding the moon in front of the stars.

"I'll stop digging when I'm done, and I'll play with you again. I know it's hard for Miss Song to come to this country place, so I should accompany her.

But my eldest brother is getting married soon, and I want to lighten the burden on my family. "

After saying that, I realized that I had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly explained to Sanya, "I didn't mean that. I just did something I thought I could do."

"Okay, I don't know you yet." Of course Sanya knew that Zhu Cuihua didn't mean that her eldest brother would be burdened by marrying her eldest sister, so she didn't blame her.

"I'll dig it for you."

"Okay!" Zhu Cuihua smiled honestly.

The two of them walked behind and soon dug a basket full of wild vegetables.

Li Yao and others found a piece of flat land and rested.

He laid out a piece of floral cotton cloth prepared by his godmother and laid out the things his mother asked him to bring.

Si Ya and a little sister picked a handful of wild flowers and placed them in the middle.

Then everyone sat together.

Song Sui was very happy. This was very different from the gatherings she had with those ladies before.

They can't sit anywhere, and they can't eat steamed buns as snacks.

Nor will they pick unknown wild flowers as decorations.

It also won't let the shoes get muddy and dusty.

Of course, there are also these girls who talk and laugh freely, without any restraint, and with unrestrained enthusiasm.

"Let's go dig shepherd's purse." Song Sui still remembered what Yao'er said about making dumplings, so she suggested.

"Okay!" Siya agreed first.

"Miss Song, in addition to shepherd's purse, we can also pick mushrooms. It happened to rain two days ago, so there must be a lot of mushrooms growing in the middle of the forest.

In fact, we can also make a few small traps to catch some small prey and roast them later. "

Song Sui stood up, lifted up the hem of her skirt, and took care of it herself to make it easier to walk, ready to show off her skills.

Li Yao wanted to watch her safety because Peng's mother was left at the foot of the mountain by Song Sui.

"Shepherd's purse is available nearby. Let's dig up the shepherd's purse first and then go into the forest later."

If she hadn't seen Sister Sui's cheerful look, she wouldn't have wanted her to enter the forest.
