Chapter 175: Speaking
Chapter 175 Speak
Cheng Xuyi nodded hurriedly, Xu let go of her, and said in a low voice:
"Your sister-in-law, young lady, is only fifteen years old this year, I look at it, but she is a very shrewd and means-savvy person, and it is only a few days of work, and the princess hurts her to the heart, don't you say that she is very kind to you? You have to go to Qinglian Temple often, talk to her, you have to respect her, follow her, and think about making her like you. ”
Xu Shi paused, and then said:
"Watching her act and talk, you should also learn some more, and it is good to be able to learn half of it."
Cheng Suyi nodded again and again, and said softly:
"I listen to my aunt."
Xu looked at Cheng Xuyi with pity, helped her stand up, looked up and down, and said with a smile:
"Just do it, it's convenient now, you go to Qinglian Courtyard to talk to your sister-in-law, this dress is good, you don't need to change, I see that your sister-in-law likes to be plain, go to her in the future, and dress plainly, well, also, take some needlework, your sister-in-law is good at needlework, you can ask her for advice on needlework, this is just a loan, don't blindly ask, don't annoy her...... You have to make her like you, and in the future, if she is willing to stretch out her fingers, you will not worry. ”
Xu Shi confessed uneasily, called Rose and Shi Nan to come in and give careful instructions, took a half-embroidered handkerchief and took it out, led Cheng Xuyi out of the courtyard gate, hid behind the rockery at the corner of the courtyard gate, watched the three of them turn around and couldn't see, only then sighed, looked around carefully, and rushed back to the main courtyard.
Under the eaves corridor of Qinglian Courtyard, the cicada wings filled some fig preserves with glass saucers, put them on a few next to Li Xiaonuan, and made a cup of slightly stronger tea and sent it up, Li Xiaonuan reached out and took a piece of candied fruit, put it in his mouth and bit it slowly, and looked at the book in his hand attentively.
After reading most of the book, Li Xiaonuan stretched, stood up, and walked back and forth along the hand-copying verandah.
A little girl turned in at the door of the weeping flower, walked in front of Li Xiaonuan, who had already swayed to the middle of the courtyard, and bent her knees to report:
"Young lady, the third lady came to see you and waited outside the courtyard."
Li Xiaonuan's hand stopped in mid-air, paused, subconsciously looked down at the purple jade bracelet in his hand, and commanded with a smile:
"Please let her in."
The little girl agreed and retreated, Li Xiaonuan turned around, beckoned Zhuye over and ordered:
"You go and pick it up outside the hanging flower door."
The bamboo leaves promised to go out of the courtyard, and the cicada wings had already commanded a few little girls to put away the rocking chairs, high tables, preserved fruits and books under the eaves.
Li Xiaonuan turned around and entered the west wing, sat on the couch, took the needle and thread, and lowered his head to do the needle and thread.
After a while, Zhu Ye led the third lady Cheng Xuyi into the house, Li Xiaonuan hurriedly put down the needle and thread in his hand, stood up, and let the third miss smile with a smile.
"Why does my sister have time to come over today? Please sit down, cicada wings, and bring some of the preserved fruits and snacks we made ourselves, and give them to the third lady to taste. ”
Cheng Xuyi was flattered, a little at a loss, her face flushed, and she waved her two hands and said:
"Sister-in-law...... You're welcome, I'm ...... I don't need it, my sister-in-law doesn't need it. ”
Li Xiaonuan's eyes flashed with pity, stretched out his hand to pull her to sit on the couch, cicada wings with a few little girls, sent a few plates of snacks and preserved fruits in, and placed them on the table in front of Cheng Xuyi, Zhu Ye personally held a cup of tea and handed it to Cheng Xuyi, Cheng Xuyi hurriedly took the tea, and was about to stand up and say thank you, Li Xiaonuan stretched out her hand to hold her, and said with a smile:
"Here, just like your own yard, don't be so polite."
Cheng Xuyi's cheeks were red, and she nodded with a shy smile, Li Xiaonuan enthusiastically let her eat the dim sum and preserved fruit, and put a piece in her mouth to bite, looking at her carefully while biting.
Cheng Xuyi carefully bit a piece of preserved peach, squinting her eyes and enjoying it very much, Li Xiaonuan's heart moved slightly, and asked with a smile:
"These preserved fruits are all made by my own girls, your brother said that it is not as delicious as it is made in our house, it is too sour, I think it is good, what do you think?"
Cheng Xuyi was stunned, looked up at Li Xiaonuan, and said softly with a hint of shyness:
"I haven't eaten it in the house, so I think it's good."
"You are young, and the rules in the palace are heavy, but I am afraid that you will not let children eat such sweet things, for fear of breaking your teeth, when I was a child, my ancestors did not allow you to eat it."
Li Xiaonuan said with a smile, Cheng Xuyi nodded busily, hesitantly looking at the preserved fruit in her hand, Li Xiaonuan's eyes oozed a smile, and her voice lowered a little and said:
"When I was as old as you, I was very hungry for these things, so I ate them secretly, and after eating, I was afraid that my ancestors would smell the sweetness, so I desperately rinsed my mouth, and drank a few cups of tea, and my ancestors couldn't smell it anymore, so I ate it secretly every day, you see, now my teeth are still good, it can be seen that I can eat it, but after eating, I have to rinse my mouth and drink tea."
Li Xiaonuan said with a smile, Cheng Xunyi looked at Li Xiaonuan with bright eyes, her face was slightly red, like a flower watered with enough water, lively and splashing,
"My sister-in-law is amazing"
"If you like to eat, you don't have to be like me, just send someone to me to get it, but when you are done, you must remember to rinse your mouth a few times, rinse the sweet gas, and drink a cup of tea."
Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Xuyi and said with a smile, Cheng Xuyi nodded hurriedly, reacted for a moment, and shook his head again,
"You can't trouble my sister-in-law."
Cheng Xuyi said in a thin voice, Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Xuyi, and said with a gentle smile:
"When you leave later, I'll ask someone to wrap a bag for you to take back, this candied fruit can be stored for a long time, but you can't eat more, in the end, children don't eat too much sweet."
Cheng Xuyi nodded in agreement, a sweet smile oozing from her eyes.
Li Xiaonuan looked at her with a smile and didn't say more, the only concubine in this mansion is almost not treated by everyone, the princess doesn't even want her to ask for peace, the two sisters turn a blind eye to her, Cheng Ke ...... I'm afraid that Cheng Ke didn't remember that he had a sister at all
The prince, well, the prince has never cared about the affairs of the inner courtyard, those subordinates, can talk about her like that, where can they take her seriously? I really love her, I'm afraid it's only her biological mother, Aunt Xu.
Li Xiaonuan lowered her eyes slightly, for a while, she couldn't interact with her more, the princess would not want to see her, let alone see her and make friends with her.
Poor child, if he was an aunt, he really shouldn't have another child
Li Xiaonuan smiled and gossiped with Cheng Xuyi, and the little girl reported at the door:
"Young lady, my lord is back."
The cup in Cheng Xuyi's hand shook suddenly, the water in the cup spilled all over her hands, Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Xuyi in surprise, Cicada Wing hurriedly wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and took the cup.
Cheng Xuyi didn't care about anything else, and hurriedly bent her knees and saluted.
"Sister-in-law, it's me who is not good, delayed...... I'm leaving, next time...... Available......"
Cheng Xuyi's nervous face turned pale, and she couldn't speak, Li Xiaonuan frowned slightly, looked at the frightened Cheng Xuyi, turned her head to look at the door again, and comforted her with a smile,
"Don't be afraid, your brother came back early today, let's welcome him together."
Cheng Xuyi hurriedly shook his head and said in a low voice:
"Sister-in-law, I'm ...... I went back through the back door. ”
Cheng Xuyi was in a panic, Cheng Ke strode into the house, saw Cheng Xuyi who was cowering and saluting, was stunned, turned his head to look at Li Xiaonuan, pointed at Cheng Xuyi and asked:
"What is she here for?"
"Come and talk to me, what can you do?"
Li Xiaonuan said with a gentle smile, Cheng Xuyi was a little nervous, bent her knees and saluted, and said with a sticky mouth:
"Brother, sister-in-law, Floocculi...... Retire, retire. ”
As Cheng Xuyi spoke, she stiffened and stepped back, exiting the main house straight, taking roses, heather, and skirts, almost trotting all the way out of Qinglian Courtyard and going back to her own courtyard.
Li Xiaonuan tilted his head and looked at Cheng Ke, thought about it, and didn't ask more, Cheng Ke watched Cheng Xuyi go out of the yard, frowned and said:
"This little girl, cowering, doesn't look like our Cheng family at all"
Li Xiaonuan sighed secretly in her heart, waited for Cheng Ke to go to the robe outside, sat on the couch, served tea, sat next to her, and concentrated on embroidering the small interlude.
Cheng Ke took two sips of tea, looked at Li Xiaonuan, and then looked at the needle and thread in Li Xiaonuan's hand, and said in a low voice:
"This embroidery work, don't do it, do it every day, it's not worth it to be tired, if my aunt knows, I have to feel distressed, don't embroider, let's go out to eat, take a boat to the Liujing River, okay?"
Li Xiaonuan looked up at Cheng Ke and said with a smile:
"Two or three days before the Double Ninth Festival, this embroidery has to be sent to the palace, but it's just a few days, where I'm tired, I won't go, if you want to eat outside, go to Liujing River or something, just ask someone else to go."
Cheng Ke sighed, looked at Li Xiaonuan helplessly, and said in a low voice:
"What's the point of going with someone else? You're angry...... Ahem, when do you have to do this embroidery job? Do you really want to do it two or three days before the Chung Yeung Festival? Xiao Nuan, there are still ten or twenty days, it's too long. ”
Li Xiaonuan looked at Cheng Ke with a smile, did not answer, only lowered his head, and concentrated on embroidering the mountain stone.
Li Xiaonuan carefully embroidered the small interstitial screen every night, Cheng Ke held the book seriously every day, watched Li Xiaonuan embroider, and accompanied Li Xiaonuan until he did the needlework of the day, washed with her, and then slept honestly on the Luohan bed.
Since one night, when he jumped on the bed, he was kicked under the bed by Li Xiaonuan's eyes, and Cheng Ke didn't dare to climb over the bed in the middle of the night, for fear of annoying Li Xiaonuan again.
only counted the days, counting how many days there are until the Chung Yeung Festival, but the days that have passed are as slow as a snail crawling
