13. Amber walnuts

Su Xi asked which brother it was, but Su Baiyu shook his head and said that he didn't know, only that the other party was wearing a blue dress.

There were a lot of people wearing blue clothes at today's birthday banquet, and there were two people Suxi had seen. One is Fu Shaoyun, wearing a royal blue persimmon pattern satin straight jacket, and the other is Wei Feng, wearing a navy blue honeysuckle brocade robe. Su Xi thought about it, it should be Fu Shaoyun, Wei Feng is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in things, so she didn't take this matter to heart, touched Su Baiyu's head and said: "That's also Brother Bai'er's smart, he can learn it as soon as he learns." ”

Su Baiyu is a child in the end, he was a little proud after being praised, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, and he wanted to pretend to be calm and said: "Auntie, fly a kite." ”

Su Xi promised Su Baiyu that if he came up with a solution to Luban's chain lock within three days, she would take him to fly a kite. Although Su Baiyu didn't come up with it this time, Su Xi was not the kind of little old-fashioned, and agreed eloquently: "Okay, when the clan school breaks for two days, my second brother and I will take you to the courtyard outside the city to fly kites." ”

Su Baiyu nodded happily, suddenly remembered something, took out a palm-sized oiled paper bag from the placket, unfolded it, and handed it to Su Xi: "You eat." ”

In Su Baiyu's hand were a few pieces of amber walnuts, and the walnut kernels were wrapped in a layer of transparent syrup, which looked very attractive. Su Xi remembered that the chefs in the mansion would not make this dessert, because it was a common snack on the street outside, and it was not precious at all in the general's mansion, Su Baiyu had never been out of the mansion, how could there be such a thing?

Su Xi asked, "Brother Bai'er, where did this come from?" ”

Su Baiyu thought for a while and said, "The relatives of the second grandmother gave it to me." After he put the amber walnut in Su Xi's hand, he continued to fiddle with the chain lock, drooping his long eyelashes and saying, "I don't like it, sweet." ”

As everyone knows, this sentence caused a huge wave in Su Xi's heart, and she asked: "Which relative?" Liao or Li Xiangru? ”

Su Baiyu raised his head and recalled, "She asked me to call her aunt." ”

Then it must be Li Xiangru. Su Xi's face became not very good, and he didn't know whether Li Xiang was smart or stupid for a while, and he dared to start from Bai Ge'er. If it weren't for the fact that Li Xiangru hadn't appeared when Su Baiyu had an accident in her previous life, Su Xi would have suspected that Su Baiyu's fall into the water had something to do with her, "Then did you eat it?" Is there anything wrong with your body? ”

Su Baiyu shook his head twice, wrinkled his brows, and had a little adult's sternness: "I don't like to eat." ”

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, although Li Xiangru didn't have the courage to dare to poison Su Baiyu, but it was better to prevent trouble before it happened, and no one could guarantee it in the future. She straightened Su Baiyu's small shoulders, rarely raised a small round face, and said seriously: "Brother Bai'er, no matter what the people in the second room give you in the future, you can't eat it." After thinking for a moment, he added: "You can take it and give it to me or your father afterwards, remember?" ”

Su Baiyu looked at her and said "um" as if he didn't understand.

After sending Su Baiyu away, Su Xi called Tinglu and pushed the amber walnuts in the oilpaper bag to Tinglu, asking her to check if there were any other things in it. Listening to Lu took it back to the house and checked it all night, and the next morning returned to Su Xi and said, "Girl, I didn't find anything abnormal. ”

Thinking that it was just an ordinary dessert, Li Xiangru wanted to win over Su Baiyu with this, so that she would have a greater chance of becoming the grandmother of Sufu.

Su Xi just came out of the clean room, wearing a snowflake satin embroidered butterfly pattern thin shirt, with soft satin embroidered shoes on her feet, as if she had been thinking for a long time, flapped her long eyelashes twice, and called Tingyan in from outside: "Sister Tingyan, you arrange two reliable maids, and tell them to secretly watch the movements of Liao and Li Xiangru, and report to me every morning, noon and evening." After speaking, he still felt uneasy, and said: "You also watch, you don't have to wait in front of you these days, just report their every move to me." ”

It was rare to see Su Xi so strict, and when she heard Yan ask puzzledly, "Girl, but what did they do?" ”

Su Xi nodded, and did not hide it: "The people in the second room rarely care about Brother Bai'er, let alone give him food for no reason, I think Li Xiangru may do something later." ”

Autumn Hall.

Su Xi came to the Yin family and told Li Xiangru about the pastry that Li Baiyu had given Su Baiyu, and by the way, he reminded the Yin family: "Mother, does that Miss Li have something else to ask for?" I saw that once she met her eldest brother in the courtyard, and the eldest brother walked away, and she was still watching from behind, do you say she is ......?"

Su Xi felt that there was a little bit of good thing after being reborn, that is, he could say whatever he wanted to say when he was young, he was ten years old and was in the age of not being able to catch up, saying that he was not big, saying that he was not small, but in the eyes of his parents, he was still a child.

Yin had just finished breakfast, and was taking the tea handed by the eldest girl Danlu to rinse his mouth, spit the water into the bowl, and frowned when he heard the sound, "You saw her and Brother Li'er, what did they say?" ”

Su Xi said truthfully: "Big brother didn't say anything, just nodded and left." It was Li Xiangru who looked like he wanted to talk to Su Li, but he didn't think about how to start, and Su Li had already strode away.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiangru had such thoughts, and he underestimated her before. A trace of disgust flashed in Yin's eyes, and wiped the corners of his mouth with a handkerchief, if Li Xiang had such thoughts, it couldn't be her idea alone, and there must be the credit of the second room behind this, but I don't know if this matter was fueled by the second room, or was it planned by the second room? No matter which one it is, if Li Xiang really climbs to Su Li, the benefits of the second room are indispensable, and the second room is a good calculation.

Yin called Su Xi to him, thought for a moment and said, "Let's take Bai Ge'er to live in Qiutang for the next few days, and I'll ask Danlu to pick him up in a while." Young, who else have you told about this? ”

Su Xi shook his head and said, "I only told my mother alone. ”

The Yin family was relieved, touched Su Xi's head and said, "Now we are just guessing, the matter has not yet been decided, if you say it, I am afraid it will cause trouble for your eldest brother." ”

Su Xi snuggled into Yin's arms and rubbed it lovingly, "Mother, I know." ”

The Yin family has always been resolute in handling things, and without much delay, he soon asked Dan Lu to go to Molin Academy to pick up Su Baiyu. Taking advantage of this, Su Xi raised his head, his black apricot eyes turned around, and he said in a long voice: "Mother, I have one more thing." ”

Yin only thought that she wanted to say something about Li Xiangru, so she said, "What's the matter?" ”

Su Xi brought up the female master who taught dancing that Yu Baotong said that day, and asked, "Let's invite her into the house, will we do it?" ”

Yin was silent, his face was a little disapproving, "Do you know what her background is?" Since she teaches dance, I'm afraid she is not a good girl. "Don't take Su Xi to ruin when the time comes.

These Su Xi had already found out, in order to convince the Yin family: "Sister Yu told me that the female master's surname is Dong, and she used to be a Si Le in the palace, and then she was arranged to leave the palace, so she went to the Rongguo Mansion to teach Sister Yu." ”

As for why he left the palace...... I can't say it to Yin.

The woman's full name is Dong Lan, and because she is in charge of the etiquette and music in the palace, she has a good temperament, with both an orchid-like noble character and a rose-like bewitching figure. It is reported that Concubine Hui was jealous of her beauty, for fear that the emperor would take a fancy to her and be robbed of her honor, so she made a mistake at will and sent her out of the palace. Dong Lan and Duchess Rongguo are distant relatives, so they went to the Rongguo Mansion, teaching Yu Baotong to dance and music on the one hand, and having a place to settle down on the other.

After hearing the identity of the Dong family, Yin's face really softened, and his tone relaxed: "If you like it, find a day to bring her to the mansion." ”

Su Xi was overjoyed, put his arms around Yin's neck and said, "Will it be okay tomorrow?" ”

Yin nodded at her head, "It's your monkey who is in a hurry." ”

*

On the second day, the Yin family really arranged for the carriage to go to the Rongguo Mansion and took Dong Lan over.

The Yin family arranged Dong Lan in a cross-courtyard behind the flower incense, which was close to Su Xi and convenient for teaching at ordinary times.

The first time Su Xi saw Dong Lan, she knew why even Concubine Hui, who was known for her beauty, was afraid of her. Dong Lan is not stunning, and she can only be regarded as delicate, but she has an indescribable charm, with a slender waist and graceful limbs, just standing there, her beautiful posture attracts people to watch. If it weren't for Yu Baotong saying that she was in her thirties, Su Xi would almost have thought she was a teenage girl.

Su Xi said politely: "Mr. Dong." ”

Dong Lan is a little arrogant, although Su Fu asked her to be Su Xi's teacher, but she doesn't be such a flattering person.

Dong Lan answered, asked Su Xi's age, touched her muscles and bones, went straight to the point, and asked her to do a few actions to test her toughness.

Su Xi has been exercising morning and evening for a while, and he has done all kinds of difficult movements, and Dong Lankao's theses are naturally not a problem.

Seeing this, Dong Lan nodded and said, "The nine girls' muscles and bones are very soft. ”

Then Dong Lan combined with Su Xi's time in the family studies class, and formulated a curriculum for her, and the final time was set on the four days of every ten days: three, five, seven, and ten. Su Xi wrote down the time, said a few words to Dong Lan and left.

It rained without warning on the way back to the open-air incense, but it was not big, and the crane raised his sleeves to block the top of Su Xi's head, and said, "It's still sunny, how can you say that it will rain when it rains...... Girl, let's hurry up, don't get you gonorrhea. ”

Su Xi took two steps, only felt that something was wrong, looked up at the cloudy sky, stood for a while, and suddenly a thought flashed in his mind, like an initiation, remembering something.

At the same time, Tingyan came running from a distance and said, "Girl, Miss Li went to the backyard lake...... Uncle is there too. ”

In the previous life, it was such a rainy day, Li Xiang was like falling into the water, and the eldest brother couldn't see death without saving her, so he rescued her, but he didn't expect to save a scourge from then on.

Su Xi took up her skirt, and no matter how soft she was, she was also a little angry at this time: "Take me over." ”

This Li Xiangru is really a thief.
