After the little nephew went, the eldest brother was very depressed and guilty for a while. Su Li thought that he had not fulfilled his father's duties and neglected his children, so he led Su Baiyu to fall into the ice pool in the cold winter wax moon, with a high fever that did not go away, and finally lost his life.

Su Li had a good relationship with Roche, and after Roche went, he did not renew the strings for a long time. In addition, Su Li has just been promoted to the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and there are many socials in the officialdom, so there is even less time to accompany Su Baiyu. This child has no mother since he was a child, and it is not surprising that he has developed his current temperament.

Su Li has always felt deeply guilty about this child, and wanted to compensate him well in the future, but he didn't even have a chance to make amends.

Falling into the water was an accident, Su Baiyu's nurse Cui's daughter got married, Cui's took a day off to go home, and two girls and a grandmother watched Su Baiyu that day. Mama was lazy, thinking that Su Baiyu was quiet and that nothing would happen, so she went to play leaf cards with the other three mammas below. The two girls looked at Su Baiyu, Su Baiyu wanted to go to the backyard lake to play, but the girl didn't dare to stop him, and followed behind. A girl had a stomach upset, ran back and forth several times, and only one girl was left guarding Su Baiyu, but she didn't expect that at this time, Su Baiyu slipped on the soles of her feet and fell into the lake.

The little girl didn't know how to water, so she turned pale with shock, and hurriedly went to call someone nearby.

The water in early spring was the coldest time, and when Su Baiyu was rescued, the little guy was already blue.

Later, the fever did not go away, and on the morning of the third day, the little body lay on the bed, not breathing.

The Yin family punished all the subordinates of the Molin Academy severely, even Su Baiyu's nurse Cui Shi did not let go, as for the two girls and the grandmother who played the leaf card, not to mention the dereliction of duty, and killed the little master, naturally he couldn't live.

Su Xi stood in front of the window, trying to remember the appearance of the two girls and the grandmother, although they haven't done anything wrong now, they can't stay in Su Mansion anymore.

When Hearing Lu come in with a copper bowl, he saw Su Xi's strange posture and couldn't help but be stunned: "Girl, what are you doing?" ”

The little girl by the window is straight, standing on one leg, the other leg hooked behind her, her arms raised, her hands folded in front of her chest, and a sweet white porcelain peony pattern bowl on top of her head. Su Xi turned her head slowly, the sweet white porcelain bowl on her head rotated with her, she stood for too long, her hands, feet and neck were a little sore, but she always gritted her teeth and persevered, her pretty face was red, and a thin layer of sweat beads came out of the tip of her nose. Su Xi stabilized his body and gasped slightly: "Eliminate food." ”

Listen to the heron: "......"

This is what Mama Ye taught Su Xi, saying that practicing for two quarters of an hour every day can not only shape the manners, but also lengthen the posture, and after a long time, the manners of the noble girl will come out. Su Xi was not high in her previous life, and she will not grow long after the age of twelve, standing next to girls of the same age is immediately dwarfed, no wonder Fu Shaoyun has always called her "little winter melon". Fu Shaoyun is tall and has long legs, compared to him, isn't he a winter melon.

Su Xi was not convinced. After standing, she went to the couch and did three sets of movements, which were still taught by Mama Ye, the movements were very simple, lift one leg and then slowly put it down, and the two legs alternately rotated, so that she could slim her waist and legs. Two quarters of an hour later, Su Xi was so tired and out of breath that she pinched her legs and sat up from the couch. She wanted to lie down and rest, but she was afraid that she would fall short, so she reluctantly left the bed, took the handkerchief handed by Tinglu and wiped her sweat, and after a while, she said: "Tomorrow, you go to Molin Courtyard for a trip, saying that I miss Brother Bai and want to take Brother Bai to live in the open air for a while." ”

The girl of the Su family is delicate, Su Xi lived separately from her parents after she was eight years old, and the "flower open-air incense" is her own small yard.

Su Xi had already thought about it, since he didn't know why Su Baiyu fell into the water, he had to take him to his side and pay attention to it every day to prevent him from having an accident. After the Shangyuan Festival, maybe Su Baiyu will not go early in this life.

Tinglu was puzzled: "But aren't you ......" Don't you care much about the little young master?

Su Xi knew what Lu was puzzled about, but she pretended not to understand, blinked her bright eyes, and said softly: "Huh? ”

Hearing the crane, she was speechless, looking at her girl's delicate and delicate cheeks, slightly flushed by exercise, she said, "Yes, the slave maid will go early in the morning." ”

*

In the early morning of the next day, Su Xi got up and freshened up, and first ran around the flowers and incense. In the past, she could lie down and never sit, she could sit and never walk, the standard lazy persimmon, but now she actually ran for the first time, so that everyone who was fragrant in the open air was shocked.

Su Xi was wearing a grape purple crepe trimmed jacket, for convenience, wearing a pair of narrow-legged pants underneath, just stopped, wanted to rest for a while and then run, but looked at Mama Ye on the upper porch. Su Xi felt weak in his heart, and ran the remaining half lap strongly.

The run was Suxiti, but she regretted it after not running far. If it weren't for Mama Ye being by her side to supervise at all times, she really wouldn't have been able to persevere.

After finishing running, Su Xi went to the clean room to bathe, and when he came out, he changed into a blue shirt embroidered with butterflies and flowers, sat behind the round table, and began to have breakfast.

Su Xi used half a bowl of japonica porridge, two crystal winter melon dumplings, a piece of poria cake, and wanted to eat another bite of osmanthus sugar lotus, but Mama Ye coughed lightly on the side. Su Xi's chopsticks were halfway up, she looked at the white and glutinous osmanthus sugar lotus, maybe she had exercised too much in the morning, and she was a little hungry at this time. She retracted her gaze, turned her head to look at Mama Ye, and after thinking about it for a while, she said in a good tone: "Mama, will I just take one bite?" ”

Mama Ye hung her hands and said selflessly: "If the girl eats this bite, this morning's steps will be in vain." ”

The words "......" were the most effective, Su Xi was ruthless and put down his chopsticks.

When Hearing Lu come back from outside, he saw that Su Xi was rinsing his mouth, and hurriedly went over to hold the moon-white glazed teacup, and said: "Girl, the slave maid went to Molin Academy to ask, and the uncle heard that you wanted to take the little master to live, and he was worried that you couldn't take care of it, so he didn't agree." ”

Although she heard Lu speak very tactfully, Su Xi still heard the sound outside the strings. I'm afraid it's not that the eldest brother doesn't agree, but that Su Baiyu's little guy refuses to come, right? That kid is very weird, ordinary children of this age are innocent and lively, only he is like a gourd, and he doesn't say a word for a day, let alone contact with others. Su Xi didn't get along with him much before, and now he naturally refuses to come to flower and incense.

Su Xi didn't know that this was a disease. She thought about it for a while and decided to go to the Merlin Academy in person, even if Bai Ge'er had a strange temper, she couldn't wait for him to have an accident.

Su Xi tied a red Su embroidered peony pattern cloak and walked out: "Accompany me to the Molin Courtyard to have a look." ”

Listen to the heron's jaw and follow.

The Merlin Courtyard was built in the outer courtyard, and when Su Xi arrived, he just in time for Su Li to go out. Su Li wore a black fur cloak, and hung a jasper double-ring jade pendant around his waist, Su Li's appearance followed the eldest lord Su Zhen, with handsome eyebrows and handsome facial features, and this dress looked even more slender and straight, like a pine and cypress.

After Su Li saw Su Xi, he stopped, "Young." ”

Su Xi took two steps forward, "Is the eldest brother going out?" ”

Su Li said: "There is some entertainment. Su Li remembered what the girl who had flowers in the open air said in the morning, her thin lips curved slightly, and she looked at Su Xi, "Why did you think of taking Bai Ge'er to live with you?" ”

When Su Xi came, he thought of the wording on the road, and now that he saw that Su Li was going out, he was even more confident. "The second brother treated me like a child and sent me a big box of gadgets. I don't need it, so I want to play with it. "She needs to tilt her head when she looks at Su Li, and she says that she is not a child, but how big can she actually be?" Besides, today is the first day of the new year, and the eldest brother is going out, so how pitiful it is for Bai Ge'er to be at home alone. It's better to go and stay with me for a few days, so that I can be my companion, and my eldest brother doesn't have to worry about him all the time. ”

The second half of the sentence is on point. Su Li was already guilty, even if he was out of the house, he couldn't rest assured, Bai Ge'er was only willing to say a few words to him, and the people around him ignored him, and sometimes even Su Li didn't know what his three-year-old son was thinking. Su Li said: "It's okay, if you can persuade him, let him live with you in the inner courtyard in the next few days." ”

Su Xi happily agreed, and after seeing Su Li leave, he stepped into the Merlin Academy.

There were not many people in the Molin Courtyard, and the rough girl who swept saw Su Xi hurriedly put down the broom and saluted, "Nine girls." ”

Su Xi asked, "What about Bai Ge'er?" ”

The rough girl said, "The young master is in the house." ”

Su Xi remembered Su Baiyu's room, although she had not been here for many years, she was deeply impressed by every grass and tree in Su Mansion. Su Xi came to the door of the east room, and there was a woman wearing a silver-red bijia standing outside the door, who was Bai Ge'er's nursing mother, Cui Shi.

Cui Shi was slightly surprised when he saw Su Xi, "Nine girls." ”

Su Xi said: "Brother Bai is inside? ”

Cui Shi said yes, and then seemed to have something to say, and he stopped talking, and finally said: "Nine girls forgive me for saying more...... Bai Ge'er has no mother, and he is a little different from the children next to him. As Bai Ge'er's aunt, if Miss Nine is free, please take care of him. This kid is pitiful, and although he doesn't say anything, I can see that he wants people to spend more time with him. ”

Su Xi said: "I am here to pick him up today." As he spoke, he pushed open the mullioned door in front of him.

The windows in the house were bright and clean, and Su Xi saw Su Baiyu sitting on the couch by the window at a glance. When Su Baiyu heard the voice, he turned his head to look at the door, stared at Su Xi with dark eyes for a while, and then calmly lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the things in his hand.

Su Xi walked up to him, only to see that he was playing with a twenty-four Luban lock.

Su Xi was not in a hurry to call him, sat down opposite him, and quietly watched him disassemble and assemble the Luban lock with his hands on his cheeks. I don't know who gave him this lock, a three-year-old child, can play with this thing? Su Xi thought he was just playing casually, but unexpectedly, in just a quarter of an hour, this little guy successfully disassembled and assembled the twenty-four locks!

You know, Su Xi only learned to spell twenty-four locks at the age of eight!

Su Xi asked him, "Who taught you this?" ”

Su Baiyu lowered his eyes and ignored her.

Su Xi said again: "What else will you do, will you be able to lock plum blossoms?" What about the Eighteen Arhats? Su Xi's face was surprised and happy, and his apricot eyes were round, which was a little incredible. Xu remembered something, she simply sat down next to Su Baiyu, looked down at him with a smile, and said, "Will you be Huarong Dao?" How many solutions are there? I'll have thirty-six, and we'll compare them another day, right? ”

Su Baiyu raised his head, and finally agreed to look at her, his little face with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes was slightly tense, and he didn't know what he was thinking. It didn't take long for him to lower his head again, and his fleshy little hand pinched the Luban lock without saying a word.

Su Xi didn't care, and looked up around the room. There wasn't much stuff in the house, most of it was children's stuff, and there was an eagle kite on the elm red lacquer closet opposite. It probably took a long time to get a layer of dust on the kite.

Su Xi lowered his eyes, looked at the top of Su Baiyu's head, and suddenly wanted to touch his head. She said, "I want to go to the backyard tomorrow to fly a kite, will you come with me?" It just snowed yesterday, and we can still roast sparrows, and the sparrows roasted by the crane are the best. Make sure you eat it once and you'll never forget it. As he spoke, he said that he was greedy. Su Xi licked the corners of her mouth, reminisced, and asked, "Do you know how to catch sparrows?" Why don't I teach you how to catch sparrows first? ”

Su Baiyu pursed her pink lips, and her long eyelashes were like an unfolded fan. He didn't move for a long time before he spoke slowly: "...... Noisy. ”

*

There was a snowfall during the night, and the next day the snow stopped, and the courtyard was covered with a thick layer of white.

Su Xi went to Yin's first and told him about his own visit to Molin Courtyard yesterday, and said that the subordinates of Molin Courtyard were not satisfied, and only Mama Cui could be seen in the courtyard, and the others didn't know where to go.

Yin nodded approvingly: "There is no hostess in the courtyard, and the subordinates are easy to loosen, so it's time to beat and beat." After a while, I will talk to Steward Wang, change all the subordinates of Molin Academy, re-elect people, and then ask Mama Lu to adjust and teach well. "Mama Lu is a very face-smiling grandmother around the Yin family.

Su Xi had a matter on his mind, and after he went back, he finished running under the supervision of Mama Ye, and did the action of shaping the instrument for half an hour. After grooming, she came out of the clean room, and listened to Yan and said while wiping her hair: "Girl, I heard that the people from the Qingguo Mansion are here today, and Fu Gongzi and Miss Fu are also there, and Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Fu are accompanying guests in the front hall." ”

Su Xi's hands were easily frozen, and he was rubbing begonia honey paste on his hands, when he heard the words, he turned his head to look at Tingyan: "Cousin Shaoyun is also here?" ”

Tingyan nodded, "Uncle is accompanying Fu Gongzi around the garden." ”

Su Xi slowly said "oh", indicating that he understood. After her hair was dry, she asked Tingyan to comb her double screw bun and prepare to go to the next room to see Su Baiyu.

Although Su Baiyu said that she was noisy yesterday, she finally obediently came to her with flowers.

As soon as Su Xi went out, he saw Su Baiyu standing under the porch in a royal blue jacket, hanging his head slightly. Seeing Su Xi come out, he raised his little face, looked at the listening geese and listening cranes behind Su Xi, and reminded him after a while: "Catch sparrows." ”

Su Xi didn't really want to go to the front hall, so he asked Tingyan to prepare tools to catch sparrows. After a while, Tingyan brought a bowl of grain, supported a basket with a wooden stick, tied one end of the red rope to the wooden stick, and put the other end in Su Baiyu's hand.

Tingyan sprinkled a handful of grain under the basket, and Tinghe went back to the house and moved two small sticks. Su Xi and Su Baiyu sat side by side under the porch, and the two of them waited for a long time before a sparrow flew over with its wings fluttering and landed under the basket sprinkled with grain.

Su Xi's eyes lit up and reminded, "Brother Bai." ”

Su Baiyu secretly clenched the rope, and was about to pull the rope at the right time - suddenly a pair of ink-colored embroidered gold dark pattern soap boots stepped on the snow, and at the same time a clear and pleasant voice sounded: "Young." ”

Su Xi looked up.

Fu Shaoyun stood a few steps away, wearing a ivory-white embroidered gold honeysuckle cloak, with a long and jade body, clear and beautiful, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looking at her with a smile.

Before Su Xi could say anything, he saw that the sparrow, which had finally been caught in the net, was startled by his voice, flapped its wings twice, and flew away in a panic.
