Su Xi's mind was confused.

I only heard Yin's footsteps getting closer and closer, and I was about to walk into the blue yarn cupboard. Su Xihuo sat up, was in a hurry, pushed Wei Feng behind a hundred treasure inlaid flower and bird pattern curved screen, and said hurriedly: "You stand here, don't come out." ”

What else does Wei Feng want to say: "Young ......"

"Shh Su Xi hurriedly put a finger to his lips and interrupted his next words. The screen was smaller, so the two of them were very close, and they saw that Su Xi's long and curled eyelashes almost swept to Wei Feng's face, and the clear and clean apricot eyes were like lakes in the sun, sparkling and shining, which could make people indulge in it.

Wei Feng stopped and looked at her.

Seeing that the Yin family was about to come in, Su Xi hurriedly returned to the beauty couch and lay down, picked up a cold handkerchief and put it on his forehead, making it look like he had just woken up, opened his eyes and called "Mother" as if he was awake.

Yin walked to the edge of the couch and sat down, helped her sit up, saw that her little face was flushed with a thin layer of red, and her complexion was much better than before, so she was a little relieved, and said, "Are you still uncomfortable?" When I came in, I saw that Tinghe was asleep outside, this girl was too careless, and she was still sleeping when her master was sick. You're the one who spoiled them like this. ”

Su Xi was silent. Tinghe would not do such a thing, she knew that it must be Wei Feng's people who made her stunned, and when she saw that Yin's words were about to punish Tinghe, she pleaded for Tinghe: "Mother, Sister Tinghe has been serving me, and I saw that she was also a little uncomfortable, so I asked her to go outside to rest for a while, don't blame her." ”

After hearing this, Yin's face softened a little, and asked the eldest girl Danwu to take the red food box in her hand, and said, "Okay, look at your urgency, I didn't say what to do with her, come over and drink this bowl of lotus leaf herbal tea first." As he spoke, he took out a small bowl of sweet white porcelain from the food box, which contained clear and clear herbal tea, and the fragrance of lotus leaves came to his nose.

Su Xi sat up straight, took the small bowl from Yin's hand, lowered his head and took a sip, adding a little rock sugar to the herbal tea, which was sweet and delicious. She casually asked, "Where did this herbal tea come from?" ”

General Su's Mansion is half an hour's drive from here, so it is impossible to send it here from the mansion.

Yin saw that she liked it, so he said, "Your cousin Shaoyun bought it from Yuhelou." He heard that you had a heat stroke and was concerned about your condition, and he heard that the lotus leaf herbal tea in Yuhelou had a miraculous effect on relieving the heat, so he personally went to buy this bowl and came back. ”

Su Xi was drinking, and when he heard this, he choked suddenly, coughing and his face turned red.

Yin hurriedly patted her on the back and said, "Drink slowly, how frizzy and frizzy, and no one will rob you." ”

Finally stopped coughing, Su Xi subconsciously glanced behind the screen, and saw that it was quiet, and was a little relieved. She didn't dare to ask anything more, lowered her head and drank herbal tea silently, and soon a bowl of herbal tea bottomed out.

Yin Shi took out a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said thoughtfully: "Youyou, Shaoyun said that he knows a way to beat the heat, and he wants to come and see you, do you want to see him?" ”

Fu Shaoyun's thoughts about Su Xi, the Yin family can see some of them. To tell the truth, Fu Shaoyun is really good, he looks dignified and doesn't say it, he is very likable in everything he does, the important thing is that he is quite attentive to the young child, no, as soon as he heard that the young child was sick, he went to the Yuhe Building to buy herbal tea on a hot day, this thought really has nothing to say.

It's just that Fu Shaoyun has a mother like Mei's, and if Su Xi really marries, he may not be wronged. Yin felt sorry for his daughter, even if he felt pity, he never thought much about Fu Shaoyun.

But what if you have affection for Fu Shaoyun?

Yin couldn't grasp his daughter's thoughts, so he used the sentence just now to test it, wondering what kind of attitude his daughter had towards Fu Shaoyun.

How did Su Xi know that her mother had thought so much, the only thing she was thinking about now was that Wei Feng behind the screen could not be discovered, and one more person would be in danger. She said: "Most of them are girls, and it is a little inappropriate for Cousin Shaoyun to come in, so forget it, I'm already much better." Mother, can we go back? ”

This makes sense. Yin Shi was not reluctant, and said, "It's okay, when the carriage comes, we can go back to the house." ”

The dragon boat race has ended, and the emperor and queen have also returned to the palace, and the outside of Chonglan Tower is full of carriages going back.

Su Xi helped Tinghe get into the carriage, couldn't help but look back at the Chonglan Building, and saw Li Hong standing outside the blue yarn cupboard, as if waiting for someone, he turned around quickly and got into the carriage as if he was a thief.

After returning home, Su Xi rested for two days, and his body was completely well.

It's surprisingly hot today. Su Xi only wore a delicate green embroidered butterfly love pattern bandeau with a thin Luo shirt on the outside, and a pair of loose silk pants underneath. She lay on the couch and read the piano score, her legs crossed, her pants slid down from her ankles, revealing a section of white and greasy skin, and her back loomed. She lowered her eyes slightly, her delicate face was pursed, her pink lips were muttering, and she was slowly reciting the piano sheet one by one, looking attentive.

Hearing the crane come in and see this scene, he was stunned for a long time and didn't come back to his senses.

Listening to the crane, he thought a little absurdly, that is, the fairy daughter of the sky went down to earth, and I am afraid that she is not as good-looking as the girl of her family.

Su Xi looked up and saw her standing there in a daze, and said with a smile: "Sister Listen, what do you think?" ”

Hearing that the crane came back to his senses, his face turned red and said, "Girl, there is a maid named Jin Gui in the small kitchen who wants to see you, saying that she has something to say to you." ”

Su Xizheng was wholeheartedly carrying the piano score, and when he heard it, he said, "Jin Gui? I don't seem to have heard of this name before. ”

Listening to the crane: "She was bought from outside by Steward Wang not long ago, and it has only been a few months since she entered the house, so the girl naturally doesn't recognize her." However, she behaves well, is honest and steady, and cooks good dishes, and everyone has a good impression of her. ”

Su Xi's hand turning over the sheet music paused. She remembered that Wei Feng had said that he had installed one or two maids in the General's Mansion, and at that time she wanted to find out these maids, but there were too many people in the General's Mansion, and it was not easy to find them, so she had to put them aside for the time being.

Could it be that this Jin Gui is Wei Feng's person?

Su Xi steadied and said, "Let her in." ”

Not long after, a maid wearing a lilac-colored skirt walked in, holding a tray of vermilion lacquer brocade in her hand, walked up to Su Xi and saluted respectfully: "Jin Gui has seen the nine girls. ”

Su Xi didn't want to be discovered by Tinghe, so he said, "Sister Tinghe, you go out first." ”

Listen to the crane and exit the inner room.

Su Xi called Jin Gui up, looked her up and down, and asked, "I heard that you want to see me, is there anything wrong?" ”

Jin Gui put the tray on the small table on the side, picked up the small bucket color bell on it and handed it to Su Xi, and said: "This is the lotus leaf licorice herbal tea boiled by the slave maid, which has the effect of clearing heat and relieving heat. ”

Su Xi sat up from the couch and stared directly at the tea in front of him, his voice a little cold, "Where did you hear that?" ”

Jin Gui bowed his head and was silent.

Even if she didn't say it, Su Xi also guessed what was going on. Who else but Wei Feng?

She lay back on the couch, turned her back to Jin Gui, and said in a non-negotiable tone: "I don't drink, you can step down." ”

Jin Gui was a little embarrassed, looked up at Su Xi's back for a while, and saw that she was motionless, so he had to put the tea back, took out a letter from his sleeve and said, "Girl, there is still a letter here...... slave."

Su Xihuo sat up again, looked at Jin Gui a little angrily, and said, "You are so bold that you openly pass me the tokens of outsiders, aren't you afraid that I will scold you and drive you out of the mansion?" Whose maid are you? ”

Jin Gui paused slightly, and then said: "The slave and maid only obey the orders of the prince of the world." ”

It's very honest. Su Xi stared at her without saying a word, and then took the letter in her hand. Jin Gui's eyes showed a little relief, and the next moment, Su Xi walked to the side of the case, and without reading the contents of the letter, he put the envelope on the oil lamp and burned it all at all.

Jin Gui exclaimed: "Girl, you can't ......"

Su Xi burned the letter, and her heart was happy, she turned to look at her and said, "What can't you do?" ”

Jin Gui choked for a moment and did not continue.

Su Xi originally wanted to ask Wei Feng how many people like her had planted in the General's Mansion and where they were, but after thinking about it, even if Jin Gui knew that he might not sue him, he had to stop thinking about it. Su Xi told her to step down, and that afternoon she casually found a reason and sent her out of the house.

The maids with flowers and incense are all managed by Su Xi herself, and the Yin family rarely asks, so this time she wants to send a maid, and the Yin family doesn't think much about it, and soon finds another maid to fill the vacancy of Jin Gui.

Su Xi went to Chunhui Hall to talk and walk with the old lady after school early.

The old lady has a good body, and even if she has a stroke, she recovers faster than others. Su Xi accompanied him around Chunhui Hall twice, but he was still not happy, and asked Su Xi to accompany him to the backyard for a walk.

The old lady is stubborn and doesn't like to be helped, so she walks slowly step by step with a cane. When he arrived in the backyard, he asked, "Youyou, have you ever received a letter from Brother Zhi'er this time?" ”

Su Xi knew that he was worried about his father and second brother, and it should be very unaccustomed to the fact that he had been in a good place all his life. "I received it, the second brother also wrote a letter back to his family, saying that he and his father were a qiēshun lì, so that you don't have to worry, they may be able to come back before the Mid-Autumn Festival. Grandfather, we've been gone for so long, isn't it time to go back? ”

The old lady looked at Tian'er and said, "Go back." It's just that I just go back and sit in the house, it's really not interesting, my old bones don't move, I'm afraid I'll age faster. ”

Su Xi smiled obediently: "If grandfather thinks it's boring, I'll play chess with you." ”

The old lady thought about it, it was better than sitting dry, so he agreed.

Halfway through, he saw the second master Su Yang coming towards him, and when he walked to the front and back, he said, "Dad, are you going out for a walk?" ”

The old lady treats her sons very strictly, not as kind as she treats her grandchildren, she only nodded and said, "Where did you go, why did you come back at this time?" ”

Su Yang's eyes flickered, and then he smiled: "There is something delayed on the road, so I came back a little late." ”

The old lady didn't ask any more questions, and said, "Go back." ”

Su Yang shook his head and walked over from Su Xi's side. Su Xi smelled a spice smell from Su Yang, faint, like the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. The spice used by the second lady Guo is rose flowers, which is richer than this. However, in view of the fact that she, the second uncle, often spends all day drinking, leaning on the greenery, and has to play with the women outside every once in a while, Su Xi didn't pay much attention to it.

In the early years, I heard that the second uncle also raised an outer room in Luoguo Hutong, and Guo quarreled with him a lot about this. It's just that the Guo family is a wife, and it is impossible to really go to Luoguo Hutong to find out the outer room, and lose the face of the Su family in vain, so this matter has passed peacefully for several years.

After Su Xi sent the old lady back to Chunhui Hall, he played chess with the old lady for half an hour, and then returned to the flower open-air incense.

Since Su Xi drove Jin Gui out of the mansion last time, Wei Feng hasn't asked anyone to send her any letters.

In the blink of an eye, it was dog days, and the weather was unbelievably hot. Su Xi only wore a thin Luo shirt in the boudoir, which was so hot that it was useless to have an ice basin in the room. So when the eldest brother Su Li asked her if she wanted to go to the western suburbs to escape the summer, she agreed without thinking about it.

The western suburbs are located on the mountain, surrounded by shade trees, and there is a lake in front of the mountain, which is much cooler than in the capital.

Every time in the middle of summer, those wealthy families like to hide in the western suburbs of Long'an Mountain to escape the heat.

On the day of departure, Su Li took Su Baiyu with Su Xi, Su Xi led a few maids, and Su Lingyun, the sixth girl in the second room, and Su Zhen, the sixth master in the third room, also followed.

There were quite a few people, and the carriage was divided into two, and soon arrived at the western suburbs.

The evening breeze blew slowly, blowing away a lot of heat from the body. As soon as he arrived at the other courtyard, Su Xi felt alive again.
