Chapter 26: Between Brother and Sister (3)
The red bottom, the gilded pine pattern, the ink block letter, the dark red seal seal, this is the ...... A post from the Dingguo Mansion?
Su Yunjiao took the post and looked at the neat and upright four big characters of "Dingguo Mansion" on it, and then looked at the seal of the small seal "Qi", it is calculated that tomorrow will be the birthday banquet of Dingguo Gong, but there is only one copy of this post Wenchang Marquis's Mansion, which should be in the hands of her eldest uncle Wenchang Hou, how can there be a sixth brother?
As soon as the question started, Su Yunjiao already understood, why did she forget the relationship between the sixth brother and the prince of Dingguo, this post must have been sent by Qi Xuan. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Sixth brother?" Su Yunjiao called out with some doubts, even if she knew it in her heart, she had to act as if she didn't know anything.
Su Xun did not stop the movement in his hand, and continued to bow his head to repair the red plum, and two or three plum petals fell on the dark red sandalwood bookcase.
He naturally saw that post, in fact, he saw that post earlier, and the reason why he didn't secretly put it away was because he wanted Su Yunjiao to find that post, and the reason why he wanted Su Yunjiao to find that post was because he wanted to take Su Yunjiao to the Dingguo Mansion.
Therefore, hearing Su Yunjiao's question, Su Xun did not stop moving for half a minute, and did not even look back, only smiled at the two-color plum blossom in the bottle, and said: "That is the post of the Dingguo Gong's birthday banquet, which was given to me by Qi Xuan, and I have some friendship with him." ”
"Qi Xuan, the prince of Dingguo, when did the sixth brother have a friendship with him?" Even if she has experienced a lifetime, for Su Yunjiao, who didn't care about everything before, there are still too many things she doesn't know, such as this, and for example, why does Wei Qingjue like her.
"Well, it's a long story, if Jiaojiao wants to know, I'll talk to you in detail next day. The red plum was finally pruned, Su Xun put down the scissors in his hand, carefully looked at the two-color plum blossoms in the six-sided plum bottle, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it, and praised, "The plum blossoms that Jiaojiao folded are so good!"
Su Yunjiao took her eyes off the post for half a minute, glanced at the plum blossom, and said, "It's the sixth brother who has good skills." "If there is no pruning of Su Xun, this red plum will only be messy when it is inserted.
Su Xun turned his back and shook his head, and said with a smile: "If the red plum sent by Jiaojiao is not good, no matter how good my craftsmanship is, it will be useless." After that, Su Xun no longer admired the plum blossoms in the bottle, turned around, pulled out the post from the somewhat absent-minded Su Yunjiao, and asked with a smile: "Jiaojiao is willing to go to the Dingguo Mansion with me tomorrow?"
Su Yunjiao was shocked, she thought that even if the sixth brother truthfully informed her about the origin of the post, he would never mention the birthday banquet, or find a reason to cover up the past, but she didn't want the sixth brother to intentionally take her to the Dingguo Mansion with her, which was really unexpected for her.
Seeing that she didn't reply, Su Xun asked again: "Jiaojiao is willing?"
"But how do you want to go? Is it just the two of us? If they meet the eldest uncle at the birthday banquet, how should they explain?" The people who went to congratulate the birthday had already decided in the mansion, and the Wenchang Marquis Mansion and the Dingguo Mansion had rarely intersected, so the whole family did not go out, and only sent the Dafang family to celebrate the birthday. The eldest uncle has taken over the marquis of Wenchang for many years, and he will not lose his manners when he goes with his wife and children.
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint Jiaojiao, we only go to the Dingguo Mansion, but we can't go to the banquet. Qi Xuan's intention to send him a post was just to invite him to get together in private, "Brother Sixth has a few friends who want Jiaojiao to meet, so Jiaojiao is willing to go?"
Although there is a difference between men and women, they are both righteous men and gentlemen, not to mention that no one should know about their private meeting this time, and Yu Jiaojiao's reputation will not hinder it, even so, it is good for Jiaojiao to meet more people. All kinds of people have seen too much, and they will not be easily deceived later.
"Sixth brother's friend?" Isn't that the man of the year in the future? In his previous life, he only had a few connections with them, and he had such an opportunity in this life...... , but the day of the Dingguo Gong's birthday banquet was also the day when the sister entered the house, and that sister was also greatly implicated in her.
Su Yunjiao thought for a while, clapped her palms together and said, "Okay, Jiaojiao will go to the Dingguo Mansion with the sixth brother tomorrow!"
The crown prince, the prince of Dingguo, the prince of Pingxi, the prince of the Shen family, and a woman who will have an impact on her in the future and are inexplicably hostile to her, there is actually nothing to worry about.
"But where is the old lady?" asked Su Yunjiao, the sixth brother could come and go at will, but if she wanted to leave the mansion, she had to go through the old lady's permission.
Su Xun said with a smile: "It's okay, Jiaojiao only needs to say that she wants to go out and choose some clothes and jewelry, and the old lady won't stop her if she wants to." ”
"Hmm. Su Yunjiao nodded, she used to be the most impatient to stay in the house, and she had to go out for a walk once a month, and the reason she was looking for was not to go to Duobao Pavilion and Streamer Pavilion to choose hairpins, or to go to Yunshang Pavilion and Caixiu Workshop to see clothes, or to think about Rongtang to pick rouge gouache, the old lady must be tired of hearing it, first she said a few times, and then saw that she repeatedly did not change, and she also turned a blind eye and was too lazy to care about her.
Su Yunjiao felt more and more that her previous delicate temperament had brought her a lot of convenience to her now.
Su Xun said with a smile: "This matter is settled, the plum blossom has also been dealt with, since Jiaojiao is here to listen to the piano, it is my turn to play the piano, what does Jiaojiao want to hear? As he spoke, he walked to the side of the piano case.
"Ah, wait. Su Yunjiao reached out and grabbed Su Xun's sleeve, "Sixth brother, wait." ”
Su Xun stopped and turned around, did not pull out the sleeve of her shirt from Su Yunjiao's hand, let her grasp it, and asked with a smile, "What is Jiaojiao?"
Su Yunjiao hesitated for a while, bit her lip and said, "Let's talk about things first, otherwise Jiaojiao will definitely not have the heart to listen to the piano for a while, and she will live up to the sixth brother's good piano skills in vain." ”
"Listen to Jiaojiao. Su Xun has always been by Su Yunjiao, this little thing is naturally what Su Yunjiao said and what he did, "Then let's sit down and talk slowly, okay?"
Su Yunjiao nodded, and followed Su Xun to a tea room for rest in the study, the brother and sister sat opposite each other, Su Xun waved his hand to let Le Shui go down, and asked Su Yunjiao: "What do you want to tell me about Jiaojiao?"
Su Yunjiao sat opposite him, her hands tightly on the corners of her clothes, she glanced at him and quickly lowered her gaze, not daring to look again, only lowered her head and tried to calm her mind, this was the first time that the brother and sister were alone since she returned to Beijing, and the situation seemed to be much worse than she imagined.
Seeing that Su Yunjiao lowered her head and didn't speak, Su Xun only thought she was thinking about how to speak, and didn't scratch, just waited quietly.
The quieter the room, the more uneasy Su Yunjiao became, she knew that she couldn't go on like this, otherwise she didn't know what she would do, and then the sixth brother would be suspicious, so how should she explain her strange situation to him. So, Su Yunjiao took a deep breath, forcibly focused all her attention on Pingxiang's matter, slowed down, and said in a normal voice as much as possible: "This matter is related to my maid Pingxiang." ”
"Pingxiang?" Su Xun naturally knew the origin of the maid, and combined with the news she heard yesterday, she had already guessed seven or eight points in her heart, "Why is she in trouble?" Jiaojiao just said and listen to me, and the sixth brother will help you find a way." ”
"Hmm. Su Yunjiao nodded, the sixth brother could guess this, she was not surprised at all, and carefully told Pingxiang about Pingxiang's surrender to Pingxiang's mother, although she forced herself to raise her head when she spoke, her eyes were still erratic, and she didn't dare to look at Su Xun.
Su Xun listened to Su Yunjiao tell about Pingxiang in his ears, but he was more concerned about Su Yunjiao's strange appearance, Jiaojiao's condition was not right, from Jiaojiao came to see him until now, Jiaojiao's emotional ups and downs have been several times, he originally thought it was related to what she wanted to say, but now it seems that he should be the culprit who caused Jiaojiao's abnormalities.
Jiaojiao looked like she was scared, Su Xun leaned forward slightly, and her eyes swept to Su Yunjiao's small hand that was clenching the corner of her clothes, this small action made Su Yun sure that Su Yunjiao was indeed afraid. Jiaojiao has been like this since she was a child, and when she feels scared because she has done something wrong, she will cinch the corners of her clothes tightly.
Jiaojiao has been obediently staying in the mansion since she entered Beijing, and her temper is much more restrained than before, and she hasn't made any mistakes......
Su Xun looked at Su Yunjiao, thought about the senior's temperament again, and frowned, nine times out of ten it was what he thought, that dream was really not a good dream, but I was afraid that it was still bad and abnormal, Jiaojiao should have been frightened by the scene in the dream! Su Xun looked at Su Yunjiao's current appearance, and felt distressed again, and she knew that she would not tease the senior.
"That's the way things are, I don't know if the sixth brother can help Pingxiang get out of this predicament?"
Hearing Su Yunjiao's question, Su Xun gathered her mind and asked with a smile, "What kind of ending does Jiaojiao want?"
What kind of ending does she want? Su Yunjiao was asked unclearly, "What does the sixth brother mean?"
Su Xun said: "Do you want Pingxiang to stay, or do you want her to leave with her mother, go to live their own life, and have nothing to do with the Hou Mansion, or do you want her to stay with her mother." ”
"This ......" Su Yunjiao hesitated for a moment, from the perspective of her relationship with Pingxiang, it was naturally better to let her and her mother leave together or let the two of them stay in the Hou Mansion together.
However, with her understanding of Pingxiang's mother, it is impossible for her to abandon the fifth sister and the fourth brother and follow her instead, even if it is the sixth brother, he cannot forcibly change the mind of a person who is not for profit but only for affection. If Pingxiang's mother is left in the house, she may not be able to move for a while, but as long as her heart is still on the side of the fifth sister, she will definitely cause trouble for herself in the future.
Therefore, it is not feasible to leave this article together. Su Yunjiao is also unwilling, she is not the kind of person who thinks about others, she is very selfish, even if Pingxiang and her relationship are very good, but she is not ready to let her go and share her family with her mother.
Since the fifth sister has noticed the change in her, it indicates that the two of them are not far from tearing their faces, so she needs help, Pingxiang is smart and clever, and knows the fifth sister better than anyone in the Enlightened Pavilion, she stays, can help her a lot.
Pingxiang stayed, so that her mother could leave safely and spend the rest of her life without worrying about food and clothing. Now that I think about it, Pingxiang would agree with Huizhu's proposal so much that night, so I must have thought of this.
Su Yunjiao smiled bitterly, she was really not a good person.
