Su Xi waited for a while, but didn't hear any response.

The surroundings were quiet, only the sound of the shadows of the trees overhead, and the geese and cranes did not know what to do behind them, and there was no movement at all. Su Xi covered his eyes and couldn't see clearly, so he quietly moved his hand down, revealing only a pair of big dark eyes, and looked through his fingers into the octagonal pavilion.

When he raised his eyes, he saw that Wei Feng had already stood in front of him at some point.

Wei Feng happened to look at her for a long time, with a faint smile on his lips.

Su Xi was startled, and reflexively retreated, but forgot that he had sprained his foot, and with a move, he pulled the injury on his foot, frowned and couldn't help choking.

Tinghe and Tingyan came up to support her, Tingyan was worried that Su Xi would be misunderstood by Wei Feng, so she took the initiative to explain to Wei Feng: "Wei Shizi, our girl just sprained her foot, and she wanted to come to this pavilion to rest for a while, but she didn't mean to hear the conversation between you and Miss Yin." Please make it convenient for Wei Shizi, and let our girl go and sit in the pavilion for a while. ”

Wei Feng's eyes drooped and landed on Su Xi's feet.

Su Xi wore a pair of cherry pink embroidered shoes with bee and butterfly patterns, and the shoes were hidden under the moon-white embroidered skirt, revealing only a pair of small and compact toe caps, and the toes were decorated with three bright East Pearls, which made the little feet even more indescribably cute.

Su Xi retracted her feet uncomfortably, and her voice was low, with a little annoyance and confusion: "Cousin Tingzhou, I won't sue anyone else." "It doesn't seem to be okay to pretend to be stupid, Wei Feng is so smart, he must be able to see it at a glance, if he is worried that she will talk nonsense after she goes out, then she will make a stand first, he should let her go, right?

I knew that I wouldn't have eavesdropped because of curiosity, Su Xi regretted it too late, and I hoped that Wei Feng could look at her sprained foot and not care about her.

Wei Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and this "cousin Tingzhou" reminded him of a lot of memories. The little girl who rubbed her dirty, pink and round face in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion seemed to be still yesterday, looking at him with wide eyes uneasily, and now she had grown into an amazingly beautiful little girl, but these eyes still did not change, they were big and bright, and they were as smart as if they could speak.

Wei Feng was quiet and teased, "Didn't Cousin Xi hear anything? ”

Su Xi's face turned red, and she said in her heart that Wei Feng remembered it very clearly, she just said it casually, and besides, he and Yin Mingming were standing in the pavilion talking, and they didn't deliberately avoid people's eyes and ears, and it was inevitable that she would see them. She said, "I really didn't hear it, it's too far away." "Just seeing.

Wei Feng smiled lightly, and soon disappeared again, "The pavilion is left to you, and I will order someone to guard the surroundings." ”

Su Xi blinked, a little unbelieving that Wei Feng was so good at talking, until his figure really walked away, she breathed a long sigh of relief, and said to Tinghe and Tingyan: "Help me to sit in the pavilion." ”

The two helped Su Xi into the octagonal pavilion, and when Su Xi sat on the stone bench, she couldn't help but say: "Girl, Miss Yin is so bold, there are so many people in front of her, she dares to ...... Hand the sachet to Wei Shizi. The words "private meeting" were chewed up, but they still didn't come out.

Tingyan has been following Su Xi for seven or eight years, and her nerves are relatively coarse, and she is more casual when she talks to Su Xi.

Su Xi looked around, and saw no one else, it seemed that Wei Feng really ordered someone to guard here, so he let Tingyan and Tinghe stand in front of him, and said while lifting his skirt: "Sister Meng is bold or not, or who to hand the sachet to, these have nothing to do with us." Listen to Sister Yan, just say these words in front of me, and you can't talk nonsense anymore when you get out of the pavilion. ”

Listening to Yan then realized that she had talked too much, she said yes, squatted down, gently took off Su Xi's shoes and socks, and checked the injury for her. Listening to the wild goose practicing martial arts all year round, bruises and injuries are common, and this kind of small sprain will naturally be seen.

I saw Su Xi's white Shengxue's ankles exposed in the air, the skin was so white that it was almost transparent, and the blood vessels under the skin could be seen, which were so fragile that they seemed to break with a twist. There was a red spot right now, it was really a sprain, and after listening to Yan carefully observed, he said to Su Xi: "Girl, the slave maid will help you press twice first, it won't hurt so much, you can bear with it first." ”

As soon as Su Xi nodded, listening to Yan's hand began to move, left and right, Rao is Su Xi was prepared, and he couldn't help but have tears in pain, and shouted again and again: "Tap, tap...... Woo, it hurts me. ”

Listening to Yan Yiyan's words, he said lightly, but Su Xi still felt pain.

After a while, Tingyan finally got a massage. "Girl, try again? There is no medicinal wine here, and when you return home, the slave maid will give you some medicinal wine, and you will be fine in a few days. ”

Su Xi had a bag of tears in her eyes, and she almost couldn't help but roll down, it didn't hurt much, but she felt even more painful when she was pinched by Tingyan just now. Su Xi turned his ankle suspiciously, turned it around again, and said in surprise: "It doesn't seem to hurt much." ”

Tingyan smiled and said, "Tinglu is not here, this kind of injury can be solved, let her take a good look after returning home." "Tinglu is the most proficient of the four maids.

Su Xi nodded, and was about to let Tinghe go to the front to talk to Tang Wan and Yu Baotong, her ankle was sprained, and she was about to go back to the house early, when she looked up and saw a figure at the end of the path outside the octagonal pavilion, wearing a azure costume, it was Wei Feng who had just left.

Su Xi hurriedly let Tinghe and Tingyan stand in front of him, hurriedly put on white silk stockings, and as soon as he put on his embroidered shoes, he heard Wei Feng's footsteps have come to the outside of the pavilion, and he said lightly: "Is Cousin Xi's foot injured strictly?" ”

Su Xi stretched his head out from behind Tingyan, stared at Wei Feng with dark eyes, hesitated for a moment, and said, "It's already good, thank you Cousin Tingzhou for your concern." After a while, he still couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Cousin Tingzhou already gone?" Such a haunting thing scared her a lot.

Wei Feng probably heard her voice, only hooked his lips, but had no other reaction, walked to the stone table, put a small porcelain bottle with a blue glaze entwined branch lotus pattern on the table, and said to Su Xi: "This is a blood ointment, let your maid rub some on you, it has the effect of invigorating blood and removing blood stasis, and it is good for your foot injury." ”

…… He's here to deliver medicine to himself?

Su Xi was a little surprised, everyone in the world said that Wei Feng was a polite, respectable, and well-advanced person, but Su Xi felt that what the world said was wrong, as for what was wrong, she couldn't say it, she always felt that Wei Feng was not so simple. Xu is Wei Feng had an aura of coldness and detachment, which made her subconsciously think that he was not easy to approach, and besides, he did look at him coldly a few times, and now he actually took the initiative to care about his injury, which surprised her.

But Su Xi thought about it again, Wei Feng seemed to have helped her paste the kite, although it had been more than two years, she hadn't had time to thank him yet.

Thinking of this, Su Xi grabbed Wei Feng, who was about to leave, without thinking too much.

Wei Feng's footsteps faltered slightly, and he turned to look at her hand holding his sleeve, his fingers were slender, white and tender, and for some reason reminded him of the tender bamboo shoots sent out in the spring. The nail powder was moist and trimmed very neatly, leaving a little left, but not long, grinding round and round, shiny.

Wei Feng remembered that Yin Mingmeng had been dyed with impatiens juice just now, and compared to these hands, he was immediately dwarfed.

"Cousin Tingzhou......" Su Xi pondered for a while, and finally figured out how to speak.

Wei Feng lifted his eyes and met Su Xi's eyes, meaning, what else is going on?

Su Xi became nervous all of a sudden, and his hand holding his sleeve tightened, as if he was afraid that he would leave like this, and snorted: "I don't know if you remember, I got lost in the bamboo forest of Long An Mountain two years ago, and you went over to save me and helped me repair the kite." I originally wanted to go to the Qi Palace's Mansion to thank you, but then there was something wrong, so I didn't go to ...... Then my grandfather fell ill, and I forgot about it, and I wonder if it is too late to thank you today. Cousin Tingzhou, thank you so much for your help last time. ”

The little girl looked serious, as if she was reciting a book in class, and for a while Wei Feng thought that he had become a stern master, and he felt funny for no reason.

Wei Feng pursed a shallow smile on his lips, didn't hurry to leave, and asked, "How do you know that I built that kite?" ”

Su Xi was stunned, wasn't he? When the servant gave it to her, she subconsciously thought that he had repaired it, otherwise there was someone else? Su Xi hurriedly said: "Even if you didn't repair it, you helped ......" Anyway, in her eyes, it doesn't matter who repaired it, just fix it.

Wei Feng interrupted her and said, "If I repair it, how is Cousin Xi going to thank me?" ”

Su Xi was so confused by him that he couldn't figure out whether he had repaired it or not, so he said, "What does Cousin Tingzhou want?" ”

Wei Feng bent his lips and said in a kind way: "When I think about it, I'll come to tell Cousin Sùxi." ”

With that, he strode away.

Su Xi stood in place, always feeling that he had fallen into a trap, but after thinking about it, Wei Feng shouldn't make any excessive demands, right? After all, her abilities are limited. Thinking about it like this, Su Xi felt much calmer, picked up the small porcelain bottle on the table, put it under his nose and sniffed it, handed it to Tingyan, and said, "Sister Tingyan will help me apply medicine." ”

After a while, after taking the medicine, Su Xi felt that his ankle was cool and cool, much better than Fang Cai's pain.

Back at the racecourse, the match between Wanping Weng and Lu Huishu was over.

Lord Wanping Weng competed with Lu Huishu seven times, and lost to Lu Huishu with a gap of half a horse's body seven times, this kind of humiliation is how can Lord Wanping Weng stand it. If it is half a horse body once or twice, and it is like this seven times, it means that Lu Huishu's level is far more than that, and he can control the gap between himself and Wanping Weng Lord very well, and he has always retained leeway.

The lord of Wanping raised his whip and whipped his white velvet horse fiercely, and the horse was frightened, and began to gallop.

Lord Wanping Weng glanced at Lu Huishu and snorted with his nose: "Don't think that if you win this time, I will be great, if you have the ability to compete with me next time, if you lose, you will kneel and crawl around the racecourse." ”

Lu Huishu rode on the horse, picked her lips, and said with a smile: "What if Lord Weng loses?" ”

Lord Wanping Weng's face changed, and he quickly returned to normal, and said, "Let you dispose of it." "The reason why Lord Wanping Weng dared to say such a thing was that no one would dare to do anything to her, after all, her mother was the eldest princess of Shouchang, the sister of the most respected mother and compatriot today.

Lu Huishu said: "Okay, Lord Weng has a word, I remember it." With that, he tugged at the reins and walked back.

At this moment, Su Xi was about to hold Tingyan's hand in the carriage, when she saw Lu Huishu coming on horseback and stopped in front of her steadily. Su Xi was stunned, thinking that she had just said that it was a kind word to apologize to herself after a while, but it was true, and she said, "Miss Lu." ”

Lu Huishu jumped off the horse, walked up to Su Xi with a smile on her face, saw that Su Xi's standing posture was a little strange, hurriedly smiled, and asked, "Miss Su is injured?" Was it injured when the horse was frightened? ”

Su Xi didn't want to make a big fuss, anyway, it didn't hurt much, not to mention that it wasn't Lu Huishu's fault, she pursed her lips and smiled: "It's just a twist, just go back and lie down, Miss Lu doesn't have to take it to heart." ”

Lu Huishu felt guilty in the end, groped for a long time from her body, took out a white glazed bottle, and handed it to Su Xi, "This is my family's heirloom ointment, which specializes in treating abrasions and injuries, you go back and remember to take the medicine, it should be well soon, and it will not leave any sequelae on you." ”

Su Xi took it. "Thank you, Miss Lu."

Lu Huishu said: "What are you thanking me for?" If it weren't for me, you wouldn't be hurt. But it's strange to say, the horse is fine on weekdays, but somehow he went crazy...... "Lu Huishu's horse has already been taken for inspection, and there is no result at this time, so it must be soon."

Su Xi glanced at the Wanping Weng Lord not far away, thought for a while, and asked, "Why does Miss Lu want to compete with Wanping Weng Master?" ”

Su Xi knows the character of the lord of Wanping, arrogant and arrogant, and can't tolerate others to say half a "no".

In her previous life, Su Xi was picked by the lord of Wanping Weng, when she was just thirteen years old, she went to the Luhua Garden of the princess's mansion as a guest, because she was born round, the lord of Wanping Weng humiliated her with extremely mean words in front of everyone. She couldn't remember exactly what Lord Wanping had said, but it was hard to hear, otherwise she wouldn't have had a deep shadow of Luhua Garden to this day, even if the peony flowers bloomed beautifully, she wouldn't want to step into it a second time.

Speaking of this, Lu Huishu spread her hands helplessly, and said generously: "I handed a handkerchief to Fu Gongzi of Qingguo Mansion, and somehow it reached the ears of Lord Wanping Weng." Lord Wanping Weng began to pick her thorns everywhere, for fear that she would snatch Fu Shaoyun away, but in fact, Fu Shaoyun didn't answer her handkerchief at all, even if she had a heart, it was in vain.

"Ugh." Su Xi was stunned, and his words were stopped.

Wanping Weng likes Fu Shaoyun, she knows it, but she doesn't know that there is still this stubble.

But it's a pity that although Lord Wanping has a soft spot for Fu Shaoyun, he finally married someone else, and Fu Shaoyun also married the daughter of the Ministry of Rites.

Lu Huishu didn't care, and helped Su Xi into the carriage, "You go back quickly and recuperate from your injuries." Oh yes, in a few days, my brother rented a big painting boat, would you like to go and sit on our painting boat? You're a girl from Sufu, I don't know what to call you yet. ”

Su Xi said: "My name is Su Xi, the ninth in the family. ”

Lu Huishu asked Su Xi's birth month again, and said with a smile: "You are one year younger than me, I will call you Sister Xi in the future." ”

Su Xi said, "Sister Shu, then I'll go first." ”

Lu Huishu watched Su Fu's carriage leave, and when she was far away, she slapped her forehead and remembered that she hadn't asked Su Xi if she was willing to go to her family's painting boat.

Lu Huishu led the horse back to the gate of the racecourse, and saw that her brother was still standing there, looking at the direction in which the carriage was leaving, she couldn't help but stretch out her hand and shake it in front of Lu Jianghuai, and said with a joke: "Brother, don't look at it, everyone has gone away, what else are you looking at?" ”

His mind was pierced, Lu Jianghuai skimmed a trace of embarrassment on his face, glanced back at his sister, and pretended to be calm: "She is the granddaughter of General Su?" ”

"Since my brother wants to know, why didn't he ask?" It is rare to see other feelings in her calm and serious brother, Lu Huishu has always thought that he has no other preferences except for practicing martial arts and boxing, but when I look at it today, it turns out that he still has seven emotions and six desires.

Lu Jianghuai said: "It's not good to offend people. As he spoke, he continued to look at Lu Huishu, obviously waiting for her answer.

Lu Huishu had played enough tricks on him, and said with a smile: "Exactly." General Su, who has been on my father's lips, is Miss Su's grandfather, and my father has been saying that he will take you to Su Mansion to visit General Su, but you refused under the pretext of practicing martial arts, how about it? Is it so regretful that your intestines are blue? ”

Lu Jianghuai didn't say a word, but he was still a little smart, even if he followed his father to the General's Mansion before, he might not be able to see the girl in the inner courtyard, but he didn't regret it.

To be able to see each other today is his fate.

*

After returning to the General's Mansion, Tinglu showed Su Xi a foot injury. Su Xi faded the silk socks halfway, and the thin white calves rested on the red sandalwood embroidered pier, so that it was convenient for the heron to check the injury. Originally, it was supposed to be seen by Dr. Hao, but due to the difference between men and women, Tinglu was Dr. Hao's most proud protégé, so he let Tinglu see it.

Listening to the heron: "The girl is not very badly injured, apply a compress with cold water for a while, and then apply some medicine, and it will be fine in two days." ”

Su Xi handed over two small porcelain bottles, the green glazed bottle was given by Wei Feng, and the white glazed bottle was given by Lu Huishu, "Can these two bottles of medicine be used?" ”

Listening to Lu took it, he opened it one by one and sniffed it, and it was rare: "This bottle of blood-invigorating ointment is a unique prescription of Baozhitang, which has a miraculous effect on blood circulation and blood stasis, but Baozhitang retired to the apricot forest several years ago, and now their medicine is hard to find, how did the girl get it?" ”

I didn't expect a small bottle of medicine to have such a big source, Su Xi didn't answer Tinglu's question, and instead asked another bottle: "What about this?" ”

Listening to Lu said: "The formula of this bottle of medicine is excellent, and the efficacy is also good, but compared with Baozhitang's blood-activating ointment, there is still a little gap. ”

Su Xi said "oh" and didn't ask any more questions, and finally Tinglu decided to use Baozhitang's blood-invigorating ointment to put away another bottle of medicine.

The next day, Su Xi lay on the bed for a long time, Yin came to see her, personally gave her a medicine, and told her not to go to the ground, so as not to leave any sequelae. "I really shouldn't let you go out, look at you, you get hurt as soon as you go out, why are you so careless? No matter how old you are, you can't even walk a road. ”

Su Xi didn't tell the truth to Yin, because she was afraid that she would worry, so she only said that she accidentally twisted her foot while walking. Su Xi listened to her nagging several times yesterday, but now she was really tired of listening to it, so she got into the quilt and covered her head and muttered: "Mother, don't say it, I will pay attention to it in the future, if you are free, go and accompany Brother Bai more." ”

Bai Ge'er is five years old this year, and he will go to the Su family's clan school in another year.

Yin couldn't do anything about her, so he shook his head and went out.

After a while, Ting Li pushed Yingluo and came in from outside: "Girl, Miss Fu has come to see you." ”

Su Xi was lying on the bed with nothing to do, holding a copy of "Rong Zhai Essays" and reading, when she heard the words, she was stunned for a moment, and then she realized which Fu girl this "Miss Fu" was, put down the book and said, "Please Sister Yi come in." ”

In the past, Fu Yi rarely took the initiative to look at her, even to see, and never stepped into her boudoir, and they had not yet reached such a close Cheng dù.

Fu Yi is a person who is proud in her bones, on the surface she looks kind and angry, but her heart is very high, she used to look down on Su Xi, and she also had a lukewarm attitude towards Su Xi. Since I met yesterday at Jingxi Racecourse, I took a serious look at this little girl for the first time, she was very beautiful, with a sense of transparency and spirituality, and she couldn't say that she was beautiful and moving. Even if I stand in front of her, I am afraid that I will be overshadowed by comparison.

Fu Yi felt the crisis, and in the past two years, she has been called "the first noble girl in Beijing" by the people of the time, not only because of her name, but also because she gave birth to a good look.

In the past two years, Su Xi has lived in a simple house, if she goes to a flower banquet, a poetry banquet or something in the future, this appearance is shown in front of the public, Fu Yi really doesn't dare to say whether she can keep the name of this "first noble girl". Twelve or thirteen years old is already so stunning, if it is another two years, then it will be enough?

Therefore, Fu Yi can only preemptively compare Su Xi in terms of talent, and it is best that when people think of Su Xi in the future, the first impression is that "embroidered pillows" will become.

"Sister Xi." Fu Yi walked into the inner room, looked at the little girl at the head of the bed, and froze.

Because he didn't have to go out today, Su Xi didn't comb his hair carefully, only fixed it with a white jade pear hairpin, and his black and dense hair was draped over his shoulders, lining that delicate little face was only the size of a palm. It was Fu Yi who saw her yesterday, and she couldn't help but be amazed again at this moment.

Seeing that Fu Yi didn't move, Su Xi bent out a shallow smile and said politely: "Why is Sister Yi here?" ”

Fu Yi regained her senses, and quickly smiled as usual, "I heard that Sister Xi was injured yesterday, how is it?" How's it getting better now? ”

Su Xi said: "It's much better, how does Sister Yi know that I'm injured?" She didn't even tell Tang Wan and Yu Baotong.

"I met Second Brother Su when I entered the mansion, I heard about it from him." Fu Yi sat on the red sandalwood five-open embroidery pier at the head of the bed, and glanced at the book Su Xi had in hand - "Rong Zhai Essays".

This book is interesting and interesting, but it belongs to the category of idle books, and it is okay to pass the time.

Su Xi followed Fu Yi's gaze and said, "The doctor said that I couldn't go to the ground, I thought it was too boring to lie down, so I took a book and read it." Thinking of what Fu Yi said just now, since she didn't come to see it specifically, it was something else, she asked, "Sister Yi is there something else to do today?" ”

Fu Yi said: "In two days it will be the Shangyuan Festival, Sister Meng and I are going to hold a Shangyuan banquet, on the painting boat of the Xiangshui River, I want to invite Sister Xi to go together, I don't know if Sister Xi is willing to come over this time?" ”

Having said that, the second half of the sentence directly blocked Su Xi's back road, if she didn't go, it would be unwilling to appreciate her face and not give her and Yin Mengming face.

Su Xixing's eyes were crooked, and her smile was just right: "Since Sister Yi personally invited, I naturally want to go." ”

Fu Yi said: "Then I'll wait for Sister Xi." ”

Fu Yi left after sitting for a long time, and Su Xi was inconvenient to get out of bed, so he asked Tingyan and Tinghe to send off guests.

Su Xi rested in bed for two days, and the day before the Shangyuan Festival, he was finally able to walk on the ground.
