The snowfall for several days covered all things in heaven and earth with a thick quilt, and the eyes were snow-white, and the gray sky was even more depressing. However, Changshengtian still favors her people, and now the snow has stopped, and the long-lost sun has not hesitated to show its head, for people who have been trapped in the house for many days, it is most suitable to go out on a day like today to breathe and enjoy the scenery.

Dare to ask which snow scene is the most moving in the capital today? In addition to the three palaces and six courtyards within the Zhu Wall, it must belong to the mansion of Xia Qingxuan, the general of the current dynasty!

The Red Plum Garden of Xiafu can be called a must in the capital, and every time the flowers bloom, how many literati and artists want to visit it in person! However, this year is different from the past, in addition to the plum blossoms, more importantly, today is the birthday of Miss Xia Xue'er, the general's daughter.

It has long been rumored that the third lady of the Xia family is like a fairy descending to earth, and she is not yet at the age of her, but she is already slim and elegant, and has the appearance of a country and a city, so this "red plum" has become the object of admiration of countless men. The people who went to the banquet today all wanted to see the real and the virtual with their own eyes.

After many days of intensive preparations, all the affairs have been prepared, this morning it will open to welcome guests, the people and horses who came to the banquet to celebrate the birthday are crowded with a whole long street, the gorgeous carriage has been driven, and the excitement is not lost in the prime minister's mansion to marry a daughter a year ago!

At the corner of the street were two ragged beggars, two of whom were huddled together and bent their necks to keep warm, and looked at the carriages that slowly passed in front of them, longing for the ladies and ladies inside to throw a string or two of silver from the window of the carriage, so as to help them survive the winter, and of course, their mouths were not idle.

The beggar swallowed his saliva and said with a complaining mouth: "This Miss Xiafu's birthday pomp is really big enough!" Look at the guests who come and go, all of them are wealthy families in the capital! I don't know how much we can get today. ”

"That's not it, these three young ladies are the only concubines of the general, not to mention their noble status, even their appearance is one in a million and extremely outstanding! What's even more rare is that people are also kind, not like the ladies of other mansions, who are flamboyant and domineering! ”

Listening to Beggar B's words, Beggar A hurriedly answered: "Hey, I heard that the matter of Xia Mansion setting up a porridge tent for the New Year's Festival was also proposed by her. ”

Beggar B seemed to have known about this, but he shrank his hand into his ragged clothes and did not speak. Seeing that his words did not arouse the other party's interest, the companion said: "Hey, I have such a mind at a young age, and I still teach well by my tutor!" You see that the Xia Mansion is so big, and there has been no peachy incident for so many years, unlike the Shangshu Mansion at the end of the street, there have been three or four troubles this year alone! ”

Beggar B hurriedly turned his head and glared at him fiercely, and said, "Shh~ Don't talk nonsense, you have a few lives!" ”

Beggar A disagreed, and replied with a chuckle, "Huh! This matter is known all over the city, and I can't say it? ”

Beggar B sighed at first, then looked up at the sky, as if he was dissatisfied in his chest but had to appoint, and slowly said: "Let's have a cheap life, but even if it is a cheap life, we have to cherish it, right?" I don't want to be killed by God and lose my head by your words! ”

Beggar A said in a mocking tone: "Look at your cowardly appearance! Then how dare you say that the third lady of the Xia family just now? ”

"It depends on the person, doesn't it? This third lady of the Xia family is a beauty who has captivated the country and the city, and even her kindness is known to the whole city, are you afraid that she will cut me? ”

"That's not necessarily, you forgot a few months ago when the Xia Mansion invited a Taoist priest to come to the door every three or five days?"

As if he had heard a big joke, Beggar B smiled and asked, "Huh! Is there something wrong with the two? ”

"It really matters!" Beggar A had an expression of "you don't know", turned to face Beggar B, and said in an extremely serious and strict tone: "That's because the third young lady of the Xia family fell into the water, and after picking it up, she was in a coma for several days, and she was going to die. He is still looking for death and life all day long. Let's tell you the truth, so many Taoist priests are going to exorcise ghosts! It's just that the door of this house is tight, and I don't know if the water ghost has been driven away. Maybe she will change her temper because of this, and it is not impossible that she will really kill you because of a word! ”

Beggar B first shook his head, then shook his head and chuckled, "Snort! Look at what you said has a nose and eyes, as if you have seen it with your own eyes! ”

The beggar replied with a smile on his face: "Yo, if I have that blessing to see me, then even if I am locked in the soul, it is worth being a ghost!" ”

Beggar B waved his hand and said, "Come on, we can see it like this?" Don't think about it, think about what you and I should feed our stomachs first! Anyway, I hurriedly pressed my cold red hand into the creaky nest, which was still warmer like this.

Su Qi was on the side of the street, stopping to look at the people coming and going to celebrate his birthday at the gate of Xia Mansion, frowning slightly, his expression was solemn, as if he had something on his mind. Since he left Tingyuxuan the night before yesterday, he has been relieved, and hurriedly went back to the valley to return to the master, and then hurried back, and he didn't know what the situation of the senior sister was now.

Helplessly, the two beggars on the corner of the street talked passionately, and word for word penetrated his ears. The person he was most disgusted with was the person who chewed the root of his tongue, not to mention that the two of them were talking nonsense about his junior sister! If that person is from the rivers and lakes, I'm afraid Su Qi has already made a move at this moment! Frowning, he walked up to the two beggars, took out one or two lines of silver from his waist and threw them on the ground, only coldly spitting out one word: "Get out!" ”

The two beggars were chatting energetically, when they suddenly saw the silver falling in front of them, their eyes lit up, they hurriedly picked it up, and said again and again: "Thank you, uncle, thank you!" Then he flashed into the alley on the side, as if he was afraid that Su Qi would regret it.

Su Qi squinted at the two of them as if they had picked up the treasure, and felt disgusted. Obviously they are two young men with sound limbs, who can earn money to support themselves with their hands, but they have to beg along the street in rags, looking at the eyes of others to live, whoever gives money is the uncle, and he bows his head to whoever he wants, without the slightest trace of the integrity that a man should have! Su Qi looks down on such a person the most in his life, in his opinion, people can be destitute but must not lose their backbone. Without backbone, it is better to live than to die!

Today's Xia Mansion banquet guests, listening to Yuxuan's courtyard door should also be broken, although he can sneak in quietly, but after all, there are many people, not to mention that today not only the eldest young master of the Xia family is in the mansion, even Xia Qingxuan is there, it is all famous in the rivers and lakes with martial arts alone, he doesn't want to cause any trouble to his junior sister.

Finally, after a meaningful glance at the eldest young master of the Xia family who was busy greeting guests at the door, Su Qi turned his head and walked straight into the restaurant on the side.

Unexpectedly, although there was an endless stream of people coming and going to Xia Mansion to give gifts and congratulations, listening to Yuxuan still had a clean side.

Xia Xueer was painting in the study without hearing anything outside the window, and she couldn't see that today's birthday banquet had anything to do with her.

At this time, a maid came to the door and reported: "Miss, the guests have arrived, Madame, please come over." ”

Cuizhu walked over and replied, "Miss, come here, you go down first." ”

"Yes."

After the maid left, Xia Xue'er, who had been silent, finally asked, "Can the news be released?" ”

Cuizhu saw that although Xia Xue'er was asking, the brush in her hand was still flying, and she walked into the study and replied: "I let it out early in the morning, Dongmei went to do it, as we all know, this girl loves to talk on weekdays, and she is still a fellow villager with a maid named Xiaolian over there, and the two often have contacts. ”

Xia Xue'er didn't raise her head after hearing this, but said: "This is a good way to deliver news." ”

After finishing speaking, he stopped thinking about it again, and then raised his head and added: "It's just that the maid named Xiaolian is Dongmei's friend after all, is it inappropriate for us to do this?" ”

Looking at her own lady's frowning brows slightly due to self-blame, Cuizhu sighed softly, stepped forward, and persuaded in a soft voice: "The slave knows that the young lady is kind-hearted and doesn't want to use others to achieve her own means, but those who want to achieve great things must be informal." Not to mention that Dongmei's personal relationship with that Xiaolian girl is not deep, and Miss didn't deliberately want to harm her, did she? ”

"I just don't want to take the lives of innocents, after all, now you know how ruthless she is."

Cuizhu knew that Xia Xue'er would be unbearable, in fact, she herself would have times when she couldn't bear it, but since she already knew Bai Yining's true face, she had already made up her mind to avenge Xianglan, change the unfavorable situation in front of her, and get rid of the scourge of Xia Mansion, so she must not be soft-hearted.

Xia Xueer is a young lady, a character who has been held in the palm of her hand by others since she was a child, and she is naturally not used to seeing these intrigues. But she is different, she is the daughter of a slave, and she is destined to be a slave and maid for the rest of her life from the day she was born, and her status is lowly and humble.

In this era of respect and inferiority, the life of a slave is a cheap life, and the master never cares about the life of the slave, whether the slave is willing or not, what he orders must be done, which is the natural principle of this era. Therefore, as a minion, I have never seen anything filthy and dirty.

Cuizhu's mother didn't work in the Xia Mansion before, but because she couldn't stand the favor of the hostess of the old mansion, she stole the deed of sale and escaped, and after entering the Xia Mansion, she was able to live a peaceful life for a few years. Although she is far away from the old master, the things that can be done before her still haunt her like a demon, often dreaming and lingering.

Cuizhu has seen her mother's nightmares since she was a child, and the beads of sweat, white lips, and painful expression have been deeply seared in her mind. After losing her mother, if Xia Xue'er hadn't been by her side to protect her, she didn't know what kind of master she would encounter when she was destined to be a slave, and what kind of heinous things she would be forced to do.

Therefore, she can be more ruthless than Xia Xue'er, and she can be more ruthless than Xia Xue'er! If the lady can't make up her mind, she will do it for her! There are things that Miss can't do, so she does it for her!

Thinking of this, Cuizhu slowly spoke: "Miss, you are too worried, you are Miss Xia Fuchang, when the matter is settled, won't you even be able to protect a little maid?" Besides, the current situation is very unfavorable to us, the enemy is dark and I am clear, if we are not careful, I am afraid that the revenge has not been avenged, and I will take it first! ”

Looking at Xia Xue'er's hesitant expression, Cuizhu stretched out her hand to cover the back of Xia Xue'er's hand, looked at her with extremely sincere eyes, and said loudly: "After going through so many things, Miss won't think that she is a brave and unscrupulous person!" The enemy will not let you go because of your temporary unbearability, the wealthy compound is sometimes the same as the emperor's harem, and women who are too kind-hearted usually don't live long! Therefore, if we want to make it happen, Xiaolian is our only channel! ”

Xia Xue'er was stunned at first after hearing this, did she never understand Cuizhu or has Cuizhu changed? After only one night, the people around me are no longer the simple-minded girls they used to be. Looking at that unwavering look and listening to this, although I don't like it, but thinking about it is indeed that truth.

He immediately smiled lightly and whispered: "Heh~ That's right." ”

Putting down the pen in his hand, he walked to the basin of water, and instructed while cleaning his hands: "Then if there is any news that needs to be known to that person in the future, you can pass it on to her, but remember to be careful in everything!" ”

Cuizhu handed the handkerchief with both hands and replied, "The slave knows." ”

Xia Xueer cleaned her hands, walked to the dressing table, and dressed up carefully.

Before, he was looking for an excuse to ask Xia Xing to block the visiting guests for her, but he also had a few moments, and no one really came to disturb her this morning. But the guests who wished the birthday were all blocked back, and it was not polite to see anyone after all, and it seemed a little arrogant, not the style of the Xia Mansion, which has always been humble and gentle. Mrs. Xia has already sent someone to invite her, if she doesn't go again, she will not only be unvirtuous but not filial piety!

Xia Xue'er lightly traced her eyebrows in front of the bronze mirror, and asked lightly with thin lips: "By the way, what has changed over there?" ”

"Not long after Dongmei returned, the slave saw a white dove flying out of the courtyard, presumably sending a message out for verification."

"That's good."

Xia Xue'er put down her eyebrow pencil, looked in the mirror and asked the person behind her: "Cuizhu, do you think my makeup is okay?" ”

Cuizhu stared at the face of the sinking fish and geese in the mirror, and nodded and said: "Miss's face is like condensed fat, and her eyes are like paint, she is the best in the world!" ”

"It's just that today's face, I'm afraid it's going to scare someone!" Xia Xue'er looked at the pretty face of the country and the city in the bronze mirror, and said this meaningfully.

"Let her think that Xianglan is unscathed, and Miss already knows about it."

Although Cuizhu can be ruthless, they are gambling with their lives after all, and they will still be a little relieved. After a moment of silence, he finally asked in a worried tone: "Just like this, will it force her to jump off the wall in a hurry?" ”

The corners of Xia Xue'er's mouth raised slightly, and said: "I'm worried that there is no evidence, what I want is for her to jump off the wall in a hurry." If she is calm, I can't do anything about her, after all, all the current qiē is just speculation. ”

Cuizhu nodded approvingly, his eyes flashing with determination and the slightest hint of worry.

As soon as she was ready, Xia Xue'er walked towards the main hall accompanied by Cuizhu and Dongmei, the war between her and Bai Yining without gunpowder had actually already begun.
