59. Nature is hard to move
Wei Deyin's residence is located in the Rongyin Hall next to the Zhaoyang Palace, and the name of the palace is taken by Jinshang himself, which means "proud of the sound", which is enough to see how important this little princess is in the eyes of the emperor and queen. The Hall of Glory is located on the north side of the Taiye Pond, and after walking for a quarter of an hour, it is only after passing through a bluestone path that you will arrive.
The two little guys were walking too fast, and when Su Xi caught up, they had already run away. She carried her skirt and had to take two steps faster, her cheeks were flushed with a thin layer of pink because of her anxiety, and the seven jade pendants on her skirt collided, making a crisp and pleasant ding sound. It doesn't look panicked, the little girl who is green and tender is pleasing to the eye even when she runs.
After turning a moon cave door, I finally saw the figures of Su Baiyu and Wei Deyin. Su Xi's footsteps slowed down, and the flying eight treasure patterns on the skirt also fell, covering the pair of shoes embroidered with butterfly love patterns underneath, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Don't go too fast......
Before the words fell, he raised his eyes and saw the two people standing opposite Su Baiyu and Wei Deyin.
One was wearing an azure brocade robe with a warm smile on his face, and it was the eldest prince Wei Ji Chang.
Another ...... Su Xi looked at Wei Feng, who looked calm, and subconsciously pinched the skirt in the palm of her hand, and a feeling of emptiness came up inexplicably. After a while, she curted her knees, bowed her head and said, "I've seen the eldest prince, I've seen Wei Shizi." ”
Wei Jichang nodded with a smile, and because he couldn't speak, the waiter wearing a cyan trolling beside him said, "Girl, please excuse me." ”
Presumably before Su Xi came, Wei Deyin had already spoken to them, and now he raised his head, looked at Wei Feng and said, "Brother Shizi, Brother Yu doesn't believe that you made a chain lock for me, he said that it was a lock made by Aunt Xi, and I was about to take him to my house to have a look." ”
Wei Feng raised his eyebrows slightly, and said word by word: "Aunt Xi? ”
It was clearly a very normal title, which could be said from Wei Feng's mouth, and in his usual unhurried tone, his tone was slow and slightly raised, which made Su Xi's cheeks blush for no reason.
Wei Deyin followed Su Baiyu's call, Su Xi originally thought it was nothing, Wei Deyin was about the same age as Su Baiyu, she called Su Baiyu's brother, didn't she call herself her aunt? But she forgot that Wei Deyin also called Wei Feng her brother, so it would be a mess of generations, could it be that Wei Feng should also call herself an aunt? Su Xi's face was embarrassed, he really couldn't imagine that he had such a big nephew for no reason.
Wei Ji saw Su Xi's embarrassed face, the smile on his lips became deeper and deeper, he bent down and took Wei Deyin's hand, and pointed in the direction of the Rongyin Palace, meaning that he took them back.
Wei Deyin didn't think much about it, he pulled Wei Jichang with one hand and Su Baiyu with the other, turned around and looked at Wei Feng and said, "Isn't Brother Shizi going with us?" ”
Wei Feng stood in place, smiling on his lips, looking at Su Xi with his eyes and saying, "Brother Shizi has something to say to your Aunt Xi. ”
This place was already close to Wei Deyin's Hall of Rongyin, and there were no people around, so Wei Feng dared to say this blatantly.
Seeing Wei Deyin and Su Baiyu walking away, the two of them were left in the blink of an eye. Su Xi hurriedly walked two steps faster, wanting to keep up, as long as he didn't get along with Wei Feng alone. It's just that all the way by Wei Feng's side, he grabbed his hand, his hand was wide and powerful, and he wrapped her whole hand into it, and he couldn't shake it off. Su Xi hurriedly said: "Let go of me, you will be seen......"
Wei Feng smiled and deliberately misinterpreted her meaning: "In other words, just don't be seen?" ”
Without waiting for Su Xi to react, he took her to the rockery in front of him.
There are flowers and plants around the rockery, and there is an entrance at the back. Wei Feng took Su Xi into the rockery, which was shady and not large, just enough to accommodate two people. Wei Feng stood in front of Su Xi, the two of them were inevitably next to each other, he wrapped his arms around Su Xi's waist and asked in her ear, "Is it okay here?" ”
Su Xi didn't say anything.
The light in the cave was dim, and she hung her little head again, Wei Feng couldn't see her expression, but he could sense that something was wrong with her, one hand lifted her chin, and whispered, "Youyou? ”
Su Xi didn't want him to see his appearance, but he couldn't resist his strength, so he had to raise his hand to cover his cheek, and said in a muttered voice without warning: "I didn't embroider a purse for you." ”
Wei Feng paused, and after a long time, he asked, "Why?" ”
Su Xi was in a very depressed mood, and it was a pity to think of the rabbit branch purse that he had embroidered. She originally didn't plan to send a purse to Wei Feng, but somehow she couldn't control herself, not only embroidered, but also embroidered very carefully, obviously she could give it to him, but because of Su Lingyun, it was ruined. She complained about Su Lingyun and herself, biting her lower lip, trying her best to hold back the crying in her tone, "...... I don't want to embroider. ”
Wei Feng looked at her steadily, and continued to ask, "Why don't you want to embroider?" ”
Su Xi didn't continue, her fingers that were burned yesterday were still aching, and her tone was a little pleading, "Don't ask." ”
Wei Feng insisted on asking, and he tried to take away Su Xi's hand that was covering his face. Su Xi is also stubborn, she just doesn't let him see it, but where is her strength that can rival Wei Feng? After a while, he broke off his two hands, and a pair of red eyes were exposed in front of him, he stared at her eyes and asked, "Youyou, why don't you want to embroider a purse?" ”
Su Xi was silent.
Wei Feng's eyes sank and sank, close to her little face, and her voice was low: "Or do you just want to embroider for me?" ”
Su Xi's eyes showed a hint of confusion, and he didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, "What?" ”
Wei Feng raised a hand and gently stroked her soft lips, her face was not very good-looking, "I heard that the Duchess of Qingguo went to the General's Mansion to say goodbye, do you plan to only embroider purses for that Cousin Fu in the future?" ”
Su Xi opened her mouth in surprise, she didn't know that there was such a thing, how did he know? When the Duchess of Qingguo came that day, she thought it was just a simple visit, but she didn't expect it to come to kiss? How much eyeliner did Wei Feng hide in the General's Mansion, and he even knew about this kind of thing? She subconsciously shook her head and argued: "No, I haven't embroidered a purse for Cousin Shaoyun." ”
Shaoyun's cousin. It's affectionate.
Wei Feng leaned over and bit Su Xi's lip, Xu was unhappy, and deliberately bit harder, so he heard the little girl gently "hmm", and twisted her eyebrows in pain. He said, "Then who do you want to embroider for?" ”
Su Xi couldn't answer this question, so she had to choose to be silent.
But Wei Feng didn't plan to let her go, and pressed step by step: "Huh? Young. ”
Su Xi was forced by him to have no way out, he was angry in his heart, and he didn't know whether he was angry with him or himself, so he began to struggle in his arms, pushing his chest regardless of it, and said urgently: "I don't want to, I don't want to embroider a purse for you, I don't want you to kiss me, and I don't want you to always do something to me." Cousin Shaoyun knows that the old lady will come to kiss, but you only know how to take advantage of me, so I won't embroider ...... for you."
Wei Feng paused, his expression a little unpredictable.
After Su Xi pushed him away, he didn't dare to look him in the eyes, turned around and ran out of the rockery quickly.
The reason why Su Xi didn't tell Wei Feng the truth was because he felt too embarrassed. clearly said that he would not embroider a purse for him, but he turned his head and obediently embroidered it without saying anything, and was thrown into the fire and burned. Besides, even if you say it, you can't change anything.
After Su Xi left for a long time, Wei Feng came out of the rockery.
He called Li Hong and said, "Go to the General's Mansion to find out what has happened recently." ”
At present, the palace banquet has not ended, and Li Hong is uncertain: "Lord Shizi, go now?" ”
Wei Feng glanced at him, his dark eyes were dark, and he didn't say anything, but it made Li Hong's back chill inexplicably.
Li Hong saw that his prince was in a bad mood, so he immediately changed his words and said, "Yes, the villain will go." ”
*
This room, next to the liquid pool, unconsciously passed a morning. After the flower-viewing banquet, all the families were ready to leave, and the Yin family also said goodbye to the queen.
It's just that Wei Deyin was reluctant to let Su Baiyu go, so he reluctantly took his hand and said, "Brother Baiyu, will you go to the palace to play with me next time?" ”
To be honest, Su Baiyu didn't really want to come, the palace was not fun at all, there were many people, and there were many rules, this is not allowed, it is not allowed, it is not interesting to do anything. And the little girl in front of her also talked a lot, he went to her room just now, her mouth never stopped from beginning to end, Su Baiyu was most afraid of noise, and he endured it so that he didn't say the "noise". It's finally time to go home, he looked at Wei Deyin with an expectant face, didn't respond half-loudly, and expressed his refusal with silence.
The hope in Wei Deyin's eyes dimmed a little, and the little hand holding Su Baiyu slowly loosened, drooping his head, looking very disappointed.
Su Baiyu looked at her appearance, struggled for a while, and reluctantly said "um".
Wei Deyin raised his head again, his eyes lit up, "Well, do you mean to agree?" ”
Su Baiyu nodded.
The carriage of the General's Mansion was ready, and Su Baiyu had to leave, so Wei Deyin said goodbye to him with a bright smile and satisfaction.

On the way back, Su Xi sat in the carriage, lowered his eyes, and thoughtfully pinched the jade pendant in his hand.
Listening to Yan said: "Girl, this jade pendant is so beautiful, why haven't I seen you wear it before?" ”
Su Xi slowly sighed "hmm" and said, "This is given to me by Sister Tang, I heard that Sister Yan really has a vision, this jade pendant is polished with mutton fat jade, and I heard that it is worth a thousand gold." ”
Su Lingyun on the opposite side raised her head.
Ting Yan exclaimed: "It's so valuable, Miss Tang is really generous." ”
Su Xi pursed her lips and smiled, but did not answer. Tang Wan's father is a Lianghuai salt transport envoy, the Tang family's Yin family, Tang Wan has always been generous, spending money lavishly, but this jade pendant was not given by Tang Wan, it was Su Xi once on the street, because he liked the jade color of this jade, so he did not hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy it. When he went out today, Su Xi put this jade pendant in his purse, and only took it out at this time.
Su Lingyun glanced at the jade pendant in Su Xi's hand, the jade color was smooth, delicate and smooth, and it was really a good jade that was hard to find.
Su Lingyun was annoyed that Su Xi said those words in front of everyone today, letting everyone know that she had borrowed jewelry from her, so she never talked to her. Seeing that Su Xi casually took out a piece of good jade worth a thousand gold, he couldn't help but think of Su Xi's five-layer bright brother cabinet full of jewelry, and his heart was sour and jealous, and he pinched his skirt.
After Su Xi finished talking to Tingyan, he put the jade pendant aside and naturally talked about another topic.
The carriage soon arrived at the gate of the General's Mansion, and Su Xi helped Tingyan's men get out of the carriage, completely unaware of what he had left behind.
In the carriage, Su Lingyun looked at the mutton fat jade pendant that Su Xi had forgotten in the carriage, and the jade pendant was lying there quietly, looking very inconspicuous. After a while, she lifted the curtain and looked at it, Su Xi had already walked away, and her maid said outside: "Sixth girl, aren't you going back to the house?" ”
Su Lingyun's eyes flickered, she lowered the curtain without saying a word, and soon got out of the carriage again, and said, "Let's go." ”
In the evening, Su Xi went to Qiutangju and told the Yin family about losing a piece of jade pendant.
Yin asked her where she lost it, and Su Xi answered truthfully.
Yin sent Mama Lu to the backyard to ask the person who was in charge of the carriage, and the person searched the carriage and did not see Su Xi's jade pendant. Only Su Xi and Su Lingyun were in the carriage today, and Mama Lu went to the second room and searched for Su Lingyun's house, and really found Su Xi's mutton fat jade pendant in the drawer.
Mama Lu told the Yin family about it.
Originally, losing a piece of jade pendant was not a big deal, but Su Lingyun knew that it was Su Xi's jade pendant, but after picking up the jade pendant, instead of returning it to Su Xi, she hid it herself, which was a problem with moral cultivation.
For this reason, the Yin family called the second wife Guo Shi to him, counted the cases of her failure to discipline her children well, and fined the second room for two months, and asked Guo to copy the scriptures every day for reflection.
The Guo family didn't want to see Su Lingyun in the first place, but now because Su Lingyun was inexplicably punished by the Yin family, he was naturally unhappy. As soon as she returned to the second room, she called Su Lingyun to the hall, slapped her without saying anything, and scolded: "Shameless things, you are embarrassed to take things that are not yours?" You've lost all my face, and all the books you read on weekdays have gone to the dog's belly? Don't look at what your identity is, are you worthy of that jade pendant? And those few pieces of jewelry, how did I not know that there were hairpins like that in the house? Did you steal it too? ”
Su Lingyun covered her cheeks, tears in her eyes, and shook her head: "No...... It was given to me by Sister Xi'er. ”
Guo Shi snorted coldly, "For no reason, why did she give you something?" The people in the big house didn't have any good intentions, Mama Liu, you go to her house, find out a few pieces of her jewelry, and throw them all to me. ”
Mama Liu is Guo's dowry grandmother.
Mama Liu answered yes and led the two maids to Su Lingyun's house.
Su Lingyun hurriedly wanted to stop it, and said anxiously: "Don't, Mrs. ......"
Where would Guo Shi listen to her pleading, and after Mama Liu found out the hairpins and earrings, she threw her eyes into the stove in the kitchen without blinking. When she turned around, she saw that Su Lingyun's face was pale with distress, and she finally felt better, but she said, "The eldest lady said that I didn't teach you well, so I indulged your greed." From tomorrow onwards, you and the things in Yang's house will be simple, go to the Buddhist hall every day to copy the scriptures three times, and show them to me after copying, and you are not allowed to eat until you finish copying. ”
Yang is Su Lingyun's biological mother.
The Yin family punished the entire second room for a month, and the second room had to be tightened in the next two months, and this qiē was provoked by Su Lingyun, so Guo naturally wanted to take the knife from Su Lingyun. As for copying scriptures, Guo himself has to copy them, so how can he be missing Su Lingyun?
*
That night, Su Xi heard about the second room from Tingyan, and flattened his mouth, with an expression of "I knew it would be like this".
Listening to Yan smearing medicine on the place where her fingers were soaked, she snorted angrily: "The sixth girl deserves it...... The girl kindly gave her a hairpin, and she deliberately threw your purse. The slave and maid were almost angry when they saw it, and you were so good-tempered that you put up with her for so long. changed to a slave maid, and at that time, he rolled up his sleeves and fought with the six girls. ”
Su Xi was amused by her tone, and her little face finally showed a smile.
Hearing Yan sighed, and said, "If it weren't for the fact that you lost the jade pendant this time, you wouldn't have let the sixth girl be taught a lesson." ”
Su Xi blinked, she didn't tell Tingyan, she deliberately left the jade pendant on the carriage.
Since Su Lingyun can take her purse without asking, she must not let go of a jade pendant worth a thousand gold.
In fact, Su Lingyun really responded to that sentence-
The country is easy to change, but the nature is difficult to change.
*
This head, the Jin Palace.
Wei Feng sat in the study and listened to a maid wearing an autumn-scented skirt report on the situation.
After the maid finished speaking, Wei Feng was silent for a while, her eyebrows frowned slightly, and after a long time, she slowly asked, "How are her hands?" ”
The maid's name is Hexiang, and she is an inconspicuous third-class maid in the second room. "Back to the world, the slave and maid were not waiting in front of him, and he didn't see the injuries on the hands of the nine girls. It's just that the big girl next to the ninth girl looked very nervous......"
Wei Feng was expressionless and didn't ask again. When he met Su Xi today, no wonder he felt that something was wrong with her, and as soon as he held her hand, her brows furrowed. He thought she was afraid of being seen, so he didn't like his touch, but he didn't expect it...... That little fool, doesn't she want her own hands anymore?
Wei Feng got up from his chair and strode out.
Li Hong hurriedly chased after him and said, "Lord Shizi, it's so late, where are you going?" ”
Wei Feng didn't answer, the person had already gone away.
