42. Seek kindness and get kindness
After returning home, Su Xi directly wrapped himself in the futon, wrapped it tightly, and did not even show a single hair.
As soon as I closed my eyes, I remembered the picture of Wei Feng kissing her.
Su Xi bit her lip, clearly rinsing her mouth with mint tea several times just now, but her mouth still smelled of him. Her tongue was numb and painful, and when she came back, she heard Yan ask her why her lips were swollen, and she didn't dare to look in the mirror herself, only saying that she was bitten by mosquitoes on the road, but she scolded Wei Feng several times in her heart, regretting why she didn't slap him a few more times.
Su Baiyu stood at the head of the bed, constantly stretched out her little hand to pull her futon, and said, "Auntie, are you angry?" You talk to me, auntie. ”
Because he was annoyed that Su Baiyu, a little traitor, easily threw himself to Wei Feng, and on the way back, Su Xi ignored him all the time, keeping a straight face, but he scared this little guy a lot, thinking that he had done something wrong.
Su Xi didn't say anything, pretending to be dead, no one wanted to deal with it at this time.
After a long time, Su Baiyu finally gave up, and sat on the foot pedal in front of the red sandalwood stepping bed, holding his face melancholy. He thought that Su Xi would ignore him anymore, and began to admit his mistake: "Does my aunt not like that big brother?" I'm sorry, I won't let him teach me Sudoku in the future, we won't play with him in the future, auntie, don't be angry, you can talk. ”
Su Xi heard the crying from Su Baiyu's tone, since this little guy was three years old, Su Xi had never seen him cry again, and now that he was about to cry, he must have been really frightened. She lifted the quilt and sat up from the bed, "Brother Bai'er, why do you call him big brother?" How did you know him? ”
In fact, Su Xi was not really angry with Su Baiyu, he just wanted to scare him, not to make him believe everyone. If it is like today, others will coax him and leave obediently, then when he meets a human tooth in the future, won't he be deceived easily?
Seeing that she finally spoke, Su Baiyu thought that she had forgiven herself, and said, "My aunt made me a chain lock, and that big brother helped me untie it." ”
Su Xi thought about it for a long time, and finally remembered. That was two years ago, she made a Luban chain lock, saying that as long as Su Baiyu could solve it, she would take him to the western suburbs to fly a kite. At that time, she thought that the person who helped Bai Ge'er unlock the chain lock was Fu Shaoyun, but she didn't expect it to be Wei Feng.
Su Xi's mood is a little complicated, I can't say what it feels like, Wei Feng repaired a kite for her two years ago......
She touched Su Baiyu's head and said, "Auntie is a little angry, Brother Bai can't go with people casually in the future, in case you meet bad people, they want to be unfavorable to you, and my aunt can't be by your side to protect you." ”
Su Baiyu nodded incomprehensibly. "Is that aunt still angry?"
Of course he was angry, but not angry with him. Su Xi shook her head, and finally coaxed Su Baiyu away, she lay back on the bed, looking at the curtain on the top of the bed.
At night, Su Xi washed up and fell asleep early, and had a dream at night. I dreamed that she had turned into a little sheep and was grazing by the river, when suddenly a vicious big black wolf pounced on her, she could only let out a "blea" cry, and wanted to run but found that she couldn't run away.
The big black wolf pinned her to the ground, baring its sharp teeth. Just when she thought she was going to be eaten, the wolf suddenly stuck out his tongue, licked her mouth, and said, "If you dare to avoid me in the future, I will eat you......"
Su Xi suddenly woke up from his dream, and it was already bright outside, and the sun was three poles.
She breathed a long sigh of relief, she was really stunned, she could actually dream that Wei Feng had become a big black wolf.
*
After the beginning of summer, the weather is getting hotter day by day.
Su Xi remembered that Wei Feng had said that he had planted a maid in the general's mansion, and he had been trying to find out the maid recently. There is no doubt about the first-class maids beside her, Tingyan and a few people have been serving by her side since they were children, but among the remaining second-class and third-class maids, there are dozens of people who are just fragrant in the open air, not to mention the entire general's mansion.
So it was really not easy for Su Xi to find out that maid.
After tossing for a few days, he didn't have a clue at all, so Su Xi had to put this matter aside for the time being.
Anyway, she doesn't go out much these days, first, she wants to avoid Wei Feng, and second, she doesn't want to go out when it's hot. It's too hot outside, the scorching sun is shining overhead, and it's water all over the body. But she didn't go out much, and others didn't think much about it, just as she was like this.
In the blink of an eye, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the large kitchen of the General's Mansion wrapped yellow rice dumplings, and some were sent in each courtyard. Su Xi got up and ate half of it, which was packed with dates, red beans and peanuts, etc., and the entrance was sweet, glutinous and fragrant, so she couldn't hold back for a while, and ate the remaining half.
Su Xi felt quite guilty, and practiced two more quarters of an hour of movements in the morning.
After taking a bath and coming out of the clean room, seeing that it was still early, he picked out an apricot yellow embroidered rose pattern skirt, and asked Tinglu to comb a double bun for himself, wear a simple jade carved hairpin, and prepare to go out.
Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, Xiangshui River held a dragon boat race, Emperor Zhaoyuan will bring Empress Liu and several maidens to attend, but also invited some nobles and ministers.
The Su family was naturally also invited.
Su Xi didn't want to go, Wei Feng must have been present on this occasion. It's just that the whole family went, but she didn't go, which seemed to make people more suspicious.
Several carriages were parked in front of the General's Mansion, the old lady and the old lady took the first one, followed by one for the big room, one for the second room, one for the third room, and the last one was the carriage for the girl's family.
There were only two people in the carriage, Su Xi and Su Lingyun.
Soon arrived at the bank of the Xiangshui River, and saw from a distance that there were many green and beaded flowers parked by the river, and a colorful shed was set up at the end for Emperor Zhaoyuan and Empress Liu to watch the dragon boat race for a while.
At this time, the emperor and queen had not yet arrived, and the big families sat in the white shed under the color shed and talked.
As soon as Su Xi got out of the carriage, he put on his hat, said to the Yin family, and went to play with Tang Wan and Yu Baotong.
Tang Wan looked at the end, lifted the corner of the hat, and said, "It seems that someone is asking for benevolence." ”
Su Xi followed her gaze and saw Fu Yi wearing a rain-soaked azure dress, and a beautiful woman with complicated clothes and exquisite makeup stood opposite. Su Xi remembered that this woman was the princess of Yu Song.
Su Xi asked, "What does Sister Tang mean by this?" ”
Tang Wan whispered to her: "You don't go out these days, so I don't know." Princess Yu and Duchess Rongguo walked quite closely, and today they stopped to talk to Fu Yi in full view, presumably to see each other for the prince of Yu......"
There is no need to say the rest of the words, everyone knows it.
Su Xi nodded flatly, because he knew that Fu Yi would marry the prince of Yuwang, so he was not surprised at all.
Tang Wan saw that she was not interested in this topic, so she didn't continue and talked about something else. The little girl said that she had a conversation, and she saw Su Xi's sixth cousin Su Zhen coming from a distance, the men of the Su family were all tall, and Su Zhen was no exception. He stood a few steps away, first called out "Youyou", then clenched his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and said, "Cousin Baotong, can I say a few words to you?" ”
Yu Baotong was ordered by Su Xi last time, and knew that Su Zhen didn't really hate her, and he was a little uncomfortable seeing him at this time. However, she was not a cowardly person, and she was not good at losing Su Zhen's face in person, so she nodded and agreed.
Not long after Yu Baotong left, Tang Wan was also called back by his family.
Su Xi was bored alone, and was about to go back to his house to enjoy the cool air, when he heard a voice behind him: "Young." ”
Su Xi turned around and saw Fu Shaoyun wearing a royal blue brocade robe standing on the bank of the Xiangshui River, standing tall like a pine, and the jade tree was in the wind.
Su Xi hadn't seen Fu Shaoyun for a long time, and the last time they met seemed to be during the Shangyuan Festival.
"Cousin Shaoyun." Suxi Road.
Fu Shaoyun walked up to her. The little girl was wearing a hat, and she couldn't see what the expression on her face was, but her voice was as sweet as ever, like a layer of honey, which made people's hearts soften for no reason. He said, "Why are you alone?" ”
Su Xi's voice smiled: "Sister Tang and Sister Yu have something to leave, and I am about to go back to the color shed to enjoy the coolness." ”
Fu Shaoyun also smiled, his eyebrows were clear and handsome, and his smile was like a spring breeze. Compared with two years ago, there is more of a kind of accumulation of stability. "I haven't seen you for a while, I didn't go to the eldest princess's birthday banquet last time, I heard that you invented a new drum to pass the flower order?"
Su Xi nodded, and told him the rules of the drumming and flower passing order that day.
Fu Shaoyun listened to it and said with a smile: "It's interesting." ”
Su Xi said: "If Cousin Shaoyun is also here next time, we will take you to play together." ”
Fu Shaoyun looked at her and nodded with a smile.
Suddenly there was silence. Su Xi pursed her lips, maybe she hadn't spoken to Fu Shaoyun for too long, and she was actually a little embarrassed now. She was about to say goodbye, but Fu Shaoyun said without warning: "Youyou, have you deliberately avoided me in the past two years?" ”
Su Xi opened his mouth in surprise, and subconsciously said, "There is no ......"
Fu Shaoyun was not a fool, and interrupted her defense: "If not, why haven't you gone to the Rongguo Mansion once in the past two years?" ”
When Su Xi was a child, he often went to the Rongguo Mansion to visit the door.
She was silent.
Fu Shaoyun bent his lips helplessly, and when he saw that she acquiesced, he said, "I went to Su Mansion several times to look for you, but you avoided it." I asked the maid to bring you snacks, and I heard that you gave them all to the next person, did I make you annoyed? ”
Su Xi shook his head and said no, explaining: "Cousin Shaoyun and I have grown up, and if we play around like we did when we were children, it will make people gossip." And...... And you gave me too many snacks, I couldn't eat them, so I rewarded them. ”
Fu Shaoyun looked at her and knew that she was not telling the truth to herself.
Su Xi was a little weak by him, and paused and said, "Why does Cousin Shaoyun always like to bring me food?" ”
"You want to know?" I saw a smile suddenly curl up on Fu Shaoyun's lips.
Su Xi nodded. This question has been bothering her for a long time.
Fu Shaoyun asked, "Youyou, do you remember when we first met?" ”
Su Xi frowned and thought for a moment, shook his head in frustration and said, "I don't remember." "For her, it was a lifetime ago, too long.
Fu Shaoyun said: "That day was the birthday banquet of Mrs. Su, I followed my father to Su Mansion as a guest, and when I walked to the backyard, I saw you sitting under the porch in front of the door of the upper room......"
At that time, Su Xi was only three years old, a pink and tender little ball, round, chubby, and very cute. She wore a small green jacket, two small mustaches combed on her head, a pair of big and bright almond eyes, and sat under the porch with two small short legs. The maid sent snacks to the upper room, she swayed to the maid, stretched out her arms and said softly: "You want one, give you a ......"
Everyone knew that these nine girls were the hearts of the old lady and the upper room, and the maid didn't dare to slack off, so she took out a piece of jujube paste and pulled cake from the plate and put it in the palm of her little hand.
Su Xi followed the baby, and then staggered and sat under the corridor, her eyes crooked like two crescent moons. She took the jujube paste cake, and took half of it in one bite, her cheeks were bulging, and her mouth was also stained with pastry crumbs, her small appearance was extremely satisfied, as if there was nothing more delicious in the world than the jujube paste cake in her hand.
Fu Shaoyun smiled lightly and said, "I've never seen such a gluttonous little girl." ”
At that time, he had an impulse to send all the delicious food in the world to her, and he would never get tired of looking at her satisfied smiling face every day.
Su Xi didn't expect it to be such a reason, she always thought that Fu Shaoyun had bad intentions when she raised her fat!
Su Xiqiao's face flushed, and she was a little embarrassed, and said, "I'm not so greedy now...... Cousin Shaoyun, don't send me anything to eat in the future, I'm so old, what does it look like to be as greedy as I was when I was a child. ”
Fu Shaoyun smiled, his eyes never left her, "Well, Youyou is not the little girl she was back then." ”
Su Xi wanted to say something, but when he looked up, he suddenly saw a few people walking in front of him, who were the sons of a family wearing brocade clothes. Walking in the middle is Wei Feng.
Wei Feng's body was like a jade tree, and as soon as he appeared, he compared the men around him. Even if he is expressionless at the moment, he can also disturb a pool of spring water, so that the girl by the lake can't help but cast her eyes on him.
Su Xi froze, subconsciously hid behind Fu Shaoyun, and after thinking about it, she was wearing a hat now, even if Wei Feng saw it, he might not be able to recognize her.
When he was about to get closer, a girl in a goose yellow skirt boldly walked over, walked in front of Wei Feng, lowered her head and took out a long-lived strand made of five-colored brocade threads from the sachet, and handed it to him with a red face: "The little girl sent Wei Shizi to continue her life." ”
The Dragon Boat Festival of the Dayan Dynasty has the custom of sending each other long life threads. The longevity strands are made of five colors of brocade thread and given to the other party, which means to wish the other party a long life and a hundred years of life.
If the girl's family gives it to a man, it is an implicit expression of affection for the man. If the man takes it and wraps it around his arm, it means that he also loves the woman.
Therefore, in addition to dragon boat racing, there is also a high-profile activity during the Dragon Boat Festival, which is the longevity in the hands of the girl's family.
Su Xi also made a long-life strand and put it in her purse.
Right now, this girl in a goose yellow skirt has done a lot of things that a girl wants to do, and everyone's eyes are on her, wondering if Wei Feng will accept her longevity.
