Back at the house, Su Xi sorted the several spices he bought back today and put them in the carved cabinet in the side room, and then remembered what Li Hong said.

"The prince set off early in the morning, and because he was in a hurry, he didn't have time to say goodbye to the nine girls. If there is anything wrong with the nine girls, they can let the villain pass it on. Li Hong confessed what Wei Feng's eyeliner was in the general's mansion again, and Su Xi knew that not only did Hua Xiangxiang and Qiutang live in his people, but he also knew that there was also one in the second room.

No wonder every time something happened to her, he knew it.

Su Xi plucked the incense ash from the Boshan smoker, and snorted softly and unhappily. She said what was going on, that night Wei Feng had to sew up the purse overnight, and it turned out that he was going back to the fiefdom the next day. What do you mean that he didn't have time to say goodbye, he stayed in her boudoir all night, and didn't even have time to say a word? Su Xi didn't believe it, he must have deliberately hidden it from himself, but why did he send Li Hong to sue him? Could it be that she thought that she would be even more angry when she heard the news from someone else?

Su Xi was a little angry, so when she selected spices for Wei Feng, she specially selected several spices with strange fragrances, such as woody fragrance, sand ginger, Wujiapi, etc. These spices have a peculiar smell and are unusually strong, and are rarely used by ordinary people, except for some special uses. Not to mention someone as picky as Wei Shizi.

After picking, Su Xi glanced at Li Hong's expression of suffering, and his mood was a little more relaxed.

Next time, I won't embroider a purse for Wei Feng again, Su Xi thought to herself.

When Ting Yan walked in, he saw Su Xi sitting on the Huanghuali Wukaiguang embroidery pier, holding a piece of fragrant cake in his hand, breaking it and spilling it into the smoker, thinking about something. Listening to Yan put the coconut milk white fungus soup on the table, looked at Su Xi, and stopped talking a little: "Girl......"

Su Xi didn't look up, picked up the copper wire and iron tongs and added some charcoal, "Huh? ”

Listening to Yan kicked out the two second-class maids in the house, seeing Su Xi hanging her eyelashes and concentrating on fiddling with the smoker, she didn't know where she got the courage, so she blurted out: "The person the girl saw in the spice shop today is not Wei Shizi's attendant?" ”

Su Xi paused as she played with the spices, her heartbeat stopped for a moment, she looked up at Tingyan, her little face white, "How do you know?" ”

As soon as he saw Su Xi is reaction, he knew that he had guessed eight and nine. She sighed, she didn't know her girl's temperament, she wouldn't lie at all, and everything she thought in her heart was written on her face, "When I went back to the palace banquet, the slave saw him following Wei Shizi's side. Because he had a scar on his chin, the slave and maid remembered it. ”

Li Hong's chin has a scar, which is not long, only the size of a fingernail, and it doesn't look very obvious.

Su Xi hadn't paid much attention to it before, but when she heard Yan say this today, she recalled that it seemed to be the case.

Hearing that Yan saw that Su Xi was silent, he was faintly a little anxious, and took two steps forward and said, "Girl, are you really ......?"

"Listen to Sister Yan." Su Xi interrupted her words and shook the copper wire and iron tongs in his hand, "You are not allowed to sue my mother." ”

Hearing this, Yan immediately knelt beside Su Xi's lap with a "plop", and his face turned pale with fright, "Girl, don't do anything stupid." ”

Su Xi hurriedly helped her up and said, "You, where do you want to go?" Am I the kind of person who doesn't know how to measure? Get up...... that people may see what it is like. ”

Hearing this, Yan slowly stood up, and said uneasily: "That girl and Wei Shizi...... What the hell is going on......"

Tingyan is her eldest maid, and the matter between her and Wei Feng must not be hidden for long, Su Xi knew this truth, thought about it, and honestly confessed to Tingyan. From the time when Wei Feng rescued her in Qingshui Mountain, to the loss of control of horseback riding in the western suburbs, and then to Wei Feng's birthday this time, she was glutinous and eloquent, and she quickly explained.

Tingyan suddenly realized and said: "No wonder the girl has been embroidering purses a while ago, and she also asked Tingli for embroidery work...... So that's what happened. ”

Su Xi embarrassedly "um", raised his eyes and looked at Tingyan, "Don't tell Tinghe and the others for the time being." ”

Tingyan nodded, and then said: "It's just that Tinghe is delicate, and he serves in front of the girl, so he must not be able to hide from her." ”

Su Xi thought about it, since he couldn't hide it, he had to go with the flow.

"What did Wei Shizi say to the girl?" Listening to Yan wholeheartedly for Su Xi's sake, he was always afraid that his own girl would suffer. If it were someone else, she might not be so calm, but since the other party is the prince of the Jin Dynasty who is the dragon and phoenix in everyone's eyes, and the scriptures and Weiwu, she feels that the eyes of the world will not be wrong, and such a person will definitely not disappoint the girl. Besides, when her own girl and Wei Shizi stand together, they are really a good match, one is delicate and beautiful, the other is graceful, she is a talented woman, and she is a good couple. If the two of them can really make a couple, Tingyan is very happy to see it.

Su Xi remembered Wei Feng's words, where was she embarrassed to say this to Tingyan, and said coquettishly: "Don't ask, Sister Yan, I know what to do in my heart." As he spoke, he pushed her out and said, "You can go out for a while, I want to think about something for myself." ”

Hearing that the wild goose couldn't resist her, she had to walk out of the door, and said uneasily: "The girl has a little bit of heart and eyes......

Su Xi nodded, and after listening to the wild goose leaving, she breathed a sigh of relief and sat back on the embroidery pier.

Listening to the wild goose, she looked at the thick branches and leaves, but her mouth was very strict, so Su Xi was not worried that she would tell her about it.

I just don't know when Wei Feng will come back? Su Xi thought to himself, the last time Wei Feng asked himself to give him a little more time, and after a while, he would come to the General's Mansion to propose marriage, did he mean this return to the fiefdom? What's the point of him going back?

Li Hong said that she could send a message to Wei Feng if she had something, but she didn't pass it on, who asked him to go back without saying a word. After Su Xi broke all the spices, he added them to the Boshan smoker, and when the fragrance slowly emanated from it, he went to the side of the high basin rack and washed his hands, no longer thinking about it.

The first day of the seventh month is the seventieth birthday of Mrs. Su, and many people have come to the house.

The birthday banquet was very lively, the old lady was modest and kind to others, that is, now Zhishi, and many court officials came to congratulate him on his birthday, and almost half of the officialdom came, blocking the entrance of the general's mansion. Emperor Zhaoyuan ordered Chang Gonggong to come and give the old lady a white-glazed crane deer immortal statue and a red coral bonsai, the old lady hurriedly invited Chang Gonggong into the mansion, and said gratefully: "Your Majesty still remembers the old minister, and the old minister is deeply honored." ”

Chang Gong said fairly: "General Su, don't say that, Your Majesty often talks about you in front of our house, saying that you have repeatedly made military exploits, and many places in the border pass are timid when they hear your name." Now that you have made a decision, there is no one to fill your place in the DPRK for a while, and Your Majesty is often distressed by this. ”

The old lady said: "It's the minister, this old bone is not angry......

Father-in-law Chang hurriedly said: "General Su is still important to take care of his body, our family will say something arrogant, Your Majesty now has high hopes for the second master in the house......"

Father-in-law Chang didn't stay long, and went back after saying a few words, and the old lady personally sent people to the door.

In addition to Chang's father-in-law, Weiyuan General Lu Chi also came, he is half of the old lady's apprentice, and he has a lot of respect for the old lady, and today he specially brought a pair of children to congratulate the old lady on his birthday.

The old lady looked at Lu Jianghuai happily and said, "Jianghuai has grown so tall, the first time I saw you, you were still in swaddling clothes." ”

Lu Jianghuai and Lu Huishu stepped forward to meet the old lady.

The upper room was lively, and the old lady's legs and feet were not very convenient, so the birthday banquet was not set up in the front hall, but directly placed in Chunhui Hall. Su Xi led Lu Huishu to the west wing of the courtyard, and the two little girls talked about their private rooms, and before they knew it, a morning passed.

After lunch, the people from General Weiyuan's mansion said goodbye and left, and Lu Jianghuai came to the west wing to pick up his sister and return to the house. He stood under the porch, looked at the little girl in a delicate green dress by the door, suppressed the agitation in his heart, hugged his fists, and said, "Thank you Miss Su Jiu for entertaining the little sister." ”

Because today is the old lady's birthday, Su Xi is in a good mood, with a smile on her face, and said in a sweet voice: "Brother Lu doesn't have to be polite, Sister Shu is my good sister, and it is right to entertain her." In the future, when they are free, Brother Lu and Sister Shu remember to often visit the General's Mansion as guests. ”

Lu Jianghuai looked at her sweet and lovely smile, was stunned for a while, nodded and said, "Good ......"

Having said that, it was time to leave, but Lu Jianghuai's feet seemed to have roots, and he was reluctant to move a step. He opened his mouth several times, trying to find something to talk about, but he didn't think it was appropriate, and his handsome face quickly turned red.

Su Xi saw that he wanted to speak and stopped, thinking that he had something difficult to say, and asked, "What does Brother Lu want to say?" ”

"Nine girls......" Lu Jianghuai was about to speak, when he caught a glimpse of a person coming from the other end of the corridor, and before he got closer, he heard the other party call "Youyou".

Lu Jianghuai turned his head to look, and saw Fu Shaoyun wearing a dark green brocade robe, with sparse eyebrows, striding towards this side.

Su Xi said: "Why did Cousin Shaoyun come back again?" ”

Fu Shaoyun said: "I just dropped something, so I came back to get it." ”

Su Xi came to his senses and asked him what he had left and where he had landed, so he hurriedly asked Tingyan and Tinghe to help him find it. At this time, the people in the General's Mansion had almost dispersed, and there were not many people under the corridor, and they were standing here somewhat abruptly, so Su Xi asked Fu Shaoyun if he wanted to wait in the wing.

Fu Shaoyun smiled and said, "Then you're welcome." After that, he saluted Lu Jianghuai on the side, "Brother Lu is also there." ”

Lu Jianghuai returned with a salute.

After Su Xi said goodbye to the Lu brothers and sisters, he led Fu Shaoyun into the house.

Lu Jianghuai looked at Fu Shaoyun's back, the flying red on his face faded, and his eyes slowly became sober. He stood there and watched for a moment before leaving.

That night, Su Xi leaned on the gold and silver silk makeup pillow, half lying on the beauty couch to read, but there was a letter in the book, which was given to her by Qinglu this evening. Su Xi was struggling with whether to watch it, on the one hand, Wei Feng had been gone for more than a month, and on the other hand, he ...... She's not deflated yet.

Su Xi closed the book, put it on the warped desk, and went to the back of the screen to take a shower.

After grooming, Tingyan dried her hair, and she walked behind the desk with her embroidered shoes on. After hesitating for a long time, I finally opened the letter.

Tingyan already knew about her and Wei Feng, so Su Xi didn't avoid her when she read the letter.

Wei Feng's handwriting is decisive and free, just like him, you can feel his strength through the paper. In the first half of the letter, he wrote the reason for returning to the fiefdom, and in the middle he simply wrote about his life for a while, and in the back, the more Su Xi looked at it, the redder his face became.

Wei Feng was so bold that he actually wrote such explicit words in the letter, and what did he say "thinking like crazy"...... Su Xi resisted the urge to stuff the letter back, and reluctantly saw that in the end, Wei Feng was finally more serious, saying that he would definitely rush back to the capital from the fiefdom before July 7.

July 7 is the Qixi Qiqiao Festival.
