Not long after the Shangyuan Festival, it was the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Shouchang.

The eldest princess of Shouchang sent an invitation to Su Fu. Su Xi thought that it was not a way to go, and the posts came one after another, if she pushed and pushed, others would probably think that she had some unsightly illness. After thinking about it, I still went out with the Yin family on this day.

On this day, the weather was fine, Su Xi wore a honey-colored passionflower pattern shirt, with a tooth-white pleated skirt underneath, although it was spring, but it was still a little cold, and she wore a cherry-colored Suzhou embroidered peony and lotus pattern cloak outside. In the past few years, she has grown taller, and she looks more and more slim when she stands next to Yin's side. The cherry trimmed fox fur cloak surrounded her white and flawless little face, and the delicate and beautiful little girl in the past had grown up, and she was really snow-skinned, and her beauty was natural, so that people only sighed that there was such a look in the world, and whoever stood beside her would be overshadowed.

When she congratulated the eldest princess of Shouchang on her birthday, the eldest princess of Shouchang, who had always been above the top, looked at her face and couldn't help but praise: "What a wonderful person with snow skin and flowers for belly." ”

After congratulating the birthday, Su Xi and a few girls stepped aside.

Fu Yi was also present.

Fu Yi wore a water-blue flower and bird pattern Wu Luo jacket, and her temperament was more elegant than three years ago. When he saw Su Xi, he froze slightly, and his smile quickly returned to normal, "No wonder Sister Xi has refused to go out since she returned to Beijing, such a look makes people see how they can not worry about their stomachs." ”

Su Xi smiled brightly and had a generous temperament: "Sister Yi said she was smiling." It's not that I don't want to go out, it's just that I just came back from Wu County by boat a while ago and I was unwell, so I refused Sister Yi's invitation, Sister Yi, don't blame me. ”

Fu Yi said two more greetings. At this time, I heard that the princess of Jin was coming.

Princess Jin doesn't go out often, and today she came for the sake of the eldest princess's face.

Su Xi had only seen Princess Jin a few times, and she was not impressed. In her previous life, Wei Feng was a passerby to her, so of course she wouldn't bother to care about Wei Feng's stepmother. There is no chance to meet in this life, Princess Jin lives in a simple house, and only shows up once in a while. At the moment, for some reason, Su Xi looked at the beautiful woman who came in at the door, and felt an inexplicable nervousness, holding her breath and concentrating, and her demeanor was more attentive. After she came back to her senses, she couldn't help but secretly scolded herself for being unproductive, obviously she didn't have anything with Wei Feng, why did she care about his mother?

Princess Jin wore a long jacket with begonia red fairy crane moire pattern, and after wishing the eldest princess Shouchang her birthday, she sat in the rose chair below. There is a clear smile on his face, kind and dignified, but it gives people a sense of unapproachability.

Coming in with Princess Yuan of Jin was a girl as old as Su Xi, with a pretty appearance and bright eyes and bright teeth, who should be Wei Zhaozhao, the youngest daughter of Yuan.

Su Xi and several other girls greeted Princess Jin. Later, there were more and more people, so the owner of Wanping Weng took them to Luhua Garden.

I don't know if it's Su Xi's illusion, Princess Jin doesn't seem to treat her very well. When Princess Jin spoke just now, she didn't look in her direction.

But Su Xi thought about it, this seemed to be the first time she had met Princess Jin in a serious manner, how could Princess Jin be prejudiced against her? Su Xi was puzzled, and after arriving at Luhua Garden, she sat in the octagonal pavilion with Yu Baotong, pondered for a while, and asked euphemistically: "Sister Yu, am I not very likable?" ”

Yu Baotong was puzzled: "How come, I like you very much." Youyou, why do you think to ask that? ”

Su Xi touched his cheek embarrassedly and said, "I guessed it myself." ”

There was no one around, and Yu Baotong talked to her casually. "Don't say I'm a girl, if I'm a man, I'll be reluctant to let go when I see you. How can you guess so wildly? If you're not likable, what can I do? ”

Yu Baotong is married in the end, and his speech is much more straightforward than when he was not out of the cabinet, and Su Xi's ears are red when he hears it.

After that, Yu Baotong thought about it for a while, and then changed his words and said: "But if I am an elder and have a daughter-in-law like you, I should be more worried." ”

When Su Xi heard this, he hurriedly asked, "Why?" ”

Yu Baotong looked around, there was no one, and thought that the Yin family had been looking at Su Xi's relatives recently, and these things would be known sooner or later, so he didn't hide them from her, and said in her ear: "If anyone marries you, are they willing to let go?" The guys are all fascinated by you, and they must just want to lock you up in the house...... Do that. Doesn't it spoil the semen? If I were an elder, I would definitely have to think about it. ”

Although Su Xi had been married, she had never heard such explicit words, her cheeks immediately turned red, and she said with shame and annoyance: "Sister Yu, you ...... How can you say that! ”

Yu Baotong saw that her cheeks were red, shy and cute, and she couldn't help but laugh. "What's wrong with that? Sooner or later, the eldest aunt will sue you. I'm just telling you in advance so that you can be mentally prepared. ”

Su Xi couldn't listen anymore, Huo Di stood up, and said angrily: "I, I won't talk to you anymore." ”

Su Xi ran away from the distance. Until the end of the birthday banquet, I still can't forget Yu Baotong's words in my mind.

After Bisheng returned home, the Yin family also called her to him and asked, "Youyou, what do you think of Lu Jianghuai?" ”

Yin's thoughts were revealed. At the eldest princess's birthday banquet today, many ladies asked her about Su Xi, but she talked to Mrs. Lu alone for a long time. The key to this is that even fools can see it. And Mrs. Lu is also quite fond of Su Xi, Su Xi went to General Weiyuan's Mansion several times, and Mrs. Lu treated her very warmly. So today's conversation can be regarded as very harmonious.

At present, the Yin family asked Su Xi's opinion in order to make a final decision.

Su Xi was surprised: "What do you mean by this?" ”

After all, it is a lifelong event, and the Yin family is still based on his daughter's opinion. "I see that Lu Jianghuai is upright and dignified, and he has also made a difference at the border in the past two years, and he is a good candidate for a husband. And the Lu family has a simple population, there are no messy things, and Mrs. Lu is also a good person to get along with...... What's more, my mother can see that Lu Jianghuai is also ...... to you"

"Mother!" Su Xi hurriedly interrupted her, her voice was delicate, but her little face was very serious, "I don't have a relationship between men and women for Brother Lu." ”

But these words were not convincing in Yin's ears. Yin said: "That's because you don't have much contact, and you will get along for a long time in the future......"

Su Xi's head shook like a rattle, "It has nothing to do with that." Mother, I only treat Brother Lu as an elder brother...... Don't embarrass me. ”

What's more, Yu Baotong just told her those words today, and her mind is now full of "locked up in the house", and when she thinks that she has become a relative to Lu Jianghuai, she will do such a shameful thing, and she can't say it awkwardly...... It's impossible to imagine.

Seeing her resolute attitude, Yin had no choice but to stop the topic for the time being. But she didn't give up this family business in her heart, after all, she had seen each other for so long, and only Lu Jianghuai was the most satisfied.

Although Lu Jianghuai was dispatched to the border in the past two years, he can only come back once during the New Year's holidays. But a man should put his career first, and only when he has military merits in the future can he give his wife a stability.

After the beginning of spring, everything recovered, and Emperor Zhaoyuan held a spring hunt in order to activate the relationship between the nobles of the family.

The location was set at the North West Paddock. Su Li, Su Zhi and Su Zhen of the Su family were all invited, because the queen mother and several noble concubines would also be present this time, so Emperor Zhaoyuan set a precedent and allowed men to bring their female dependents together.

On the day of departure, several masters of the Su family opened the road in front, and Su Xi and Yu Baotong sat in the carriage behind.

The group met at the gate of the city, and when the emperor and queen came, they went to the northwest enclosure in a mighty way.

On the way, Yu Baotong was a little unwell, so he lifted the curtain and said a few words to Su Zhen, and the carriage stopped to rest for a while.

Through the gap in the curtain, Su Xi saw Wei Feng coming over on horseback, asked Su Zhen what was going on, and then glanced into the carriage.

Su Xi met his eyes defenselessly, and saw that he turned his head and said something to Su Zhen again. After a while, Su Zhen rode over and said, "Ninth sister, Baotong is unwell, the doctor will come over in a while, maybe it will delay everyone's journey." Wei Shizi said that the little princess was sitting in the carriage at the back, and the little princess has always liked you, so it is better for you to change to the carriage in the back first, and I will accompany Baotong to wait for the doctor here. ”

Su Xi was stunned, and originally wanted to say that she stayed with Yu Baotong, but when she saw Su Zhen looking like she was about to get into the carriage, and Yu Baotong also looked at Su Zhen, obviously hoping that he would accompany her. She didn't want to disturb the husband and wife, so she had to nod and agree.

Presumably Wei Feng had told Wei Deyin in advance, after Su Xi changed the carriage, Wei Deyin asked with great interest: "Aunt Xi, is Brother Bai Yu here?" ”

Su Xi said: "Brother Bai is going to study in the school, so he didn't come together. ”

Wei Deyin listened, obviously very disappointed. But in the end, it is a little doll, and love comes and goes quickly, and soon said with a smile: "It's okay, I am accompanied by Aunt Xi and Brother Wei Feng, so I am very content." Brother Wei Feng also said that he wanted to hunt a little rabbit for me, Aunt Xi, do you like rabbits? Shall I ask Brother Wei Feng to give you one too? ”

After Wei Deyin said these words, he didn't give Su Xi time to answer, so he lifted the curtain of the carriage and rushed outside: "Brother Wei Feng, Aunt Xi also likes rabbits, can you also beat a rabbit for Aunt Xi?" ”

This little girl learned to cut first and then play at such a young age. Su Xi couldn't stop her from behind, and while she was embarrassed, she sighed that this little princess was really too enthusiastic.

Wei Feng outside didn't answer directly, but after a while, he said in a calm tone: "Deyin, it's called Sister Xi." ”

Wei Deyin blinked, not understanding the meaning, "Why?" Brother Bai Yu called Auntie, I asked Mama, and Mama said that I should also call Aunt as well. ”

I heard Wei Feng say: "You ask Miss Su what you should call her." ”

Su Xi didn't expect Wei Feng to throw the question to herself, she faced Wei Deyin's big eyes that flashed brightly, opened her mouth in embarrassment, and complained about Wei Feng in her heart, but she didn't know how to explain this problem.

Wei Deyin broke the casserole and asked in a posture: "Aunt Xi, why can't I call you aunt, I want to call you Sister Xi?" ”

"This ......" Su Xi choked and couldn't answer. Almost without thinking about it, he knew what Wei Feng's expression was at this time, and he must have a light smile on the corner of his mouth, waiting to see her joke. She squeezed her little fist, Wei Feng is really wilted, how can the world think that he is polite and elegant? The eyes of the world must be difficult. She thought silently.

After two days of travel, the carriage finally arrived at the northwest paddock.

In the past two days, Su Xi has been pestered by Wei Deyin, asking the question "Why is it Sister Xi instead of Aunt Xi", and her intestines are blue with regret. I knew that I should have sat in the same carriage as Yu Baotong, and it would be better to delay than to fall into such an embarrassing situation.

Fortunately, Wei Deyin only mentioned it in front of her, and did not ask the queen mother to go forward. The child is not sensible, the queen mother must have heard it as soon as she heard it, and she will definitely not let Wei Feng go when the time comes.

Rao is like this, Su Xi has also glared at Wei Feng angrily several times in the past few days, annoying him. There was a smile on her lips, and once when the carriage was stopped on the side of the road to rest, when there was no one around, she scratched her upturned nose through the window, deliberately lowered her voice and said slowly: "Aunt Xi, your little mouth can hang an oil bottle." ”

"......" Su Xi's face turned red all of a sudden.

I finally got to the place and was assigned a place to live. Because there are grasslands all around, everyone lives in tents, and Emperor Zhaoyuan and Empress Liu live in the center, and then divide them outside the circle in order according to their official status. After the old lady Su was gone, Emperor Zhaoyuan remembered the exploits made by the old lady, took care of the Su family quite a bit, and arranged the Su family in the innermost circle.

There are only two girls in the Su family's trip, Su Xi and Yu Baotong. Yu Baotong naturally wanted to share a tent with Su Xi, but Su Xi was alone, so he slept in a tent by himself.

Once a qiē had settled down, it was already dark.

After walking on the road for two days, Su Xi couldn't stand it anymore. But she couldn't take a bath like at home, so she had to let Tingyan boil a basin of hot water, take off her clothes behind the screen, and wipe her body.

After finishing grooming and changing into clean clothes, Su Xi felt a lot better.

Since I have just arrived today, the meal has not yet been prepared. Su Xi only used half a bowl of white fungus longan porridge and a silver silk roll in the evening. Just as he was about to rest early, Tingyan came in from outside and handed Su Xi a letter.

There was no payment on the letter, only asking Su Xi to go to the forest behind the tent.

Such a tone, such a decisive and free word...... It takes almost no thought to know who wrote the letter was. Su Xi took the letter and asked, "Who gave this to you?" ”

Hearing Yan lowered his head and said, "Li Hong asked the slave to hand it over to you." ”

Su Xi only thought about why Wei Feng wanted to see him, because he didn't pay attention to the discomfort that flashed on Yan's face.

There were so many people in the paddock, Su Xi was worried about being seen, so he didn't plan to go. But when she thought of Wei Feng teasing herself so much these days, how could she not "settle accounts" with him? What's more, I haven't asked about the incident of the horse last time.
