61. Envy and grace
Strange, I heard the voice just now? Listening to Yan standing at the head of the bed, wanting to reach out and lift the curtain to see if the girl was asleep, she heard Su Xi's voice coming from inside, muttering, with a thick sleeping voice: "Listen to Sister Yan, I'm a little cold, you can close the window for me." ”
Hearing this, the goose put down his hand, turned around and went to the window to close the window, and wondered in his heart that he clearly remembered that he had closed the window, why did he open it now? She just thought it was blown away by the wind, and didn't think much about it, "Girl, why did you wake up all of a sudden?" But want to drink water? Slave maid go and pour you a glass of water. ”
Su Xi hurriedly said no, and said, "I just had a nightmare." I'm fine, you go back to sleep. ”
Listening to the goose's head, he lifted the bead curtain and walked out of the inner room, and went back to sleep.
At this end, Su Xi breathed a long sigh of relief, only to feel that this night was really frightening, and she was scared several times in a row, and sooner or later her courage would be broken because of Wei Feng. While thinking about it, she looked down, and saw that after pushing Wei Feng to the bed just now because of a hurry, she also climbed up, and now she is almost "riding" on Wei Feng. When she heard the wild goose come in, she only cared about how to deal with the listening goose, and she didn't notice how ambiguous the posture of the two was, and now she looked at Wei Feng's eyes that seemed to be smiling, her face was "soaring" red, and her whole body was like a boiled shrimp, and she hurriedly retreated from Wei Feng to the corner of the bed, and said in shame: "You go quickly, the purse is given to you, and if you don't leave, I will be unkind to you." As he spoke, he stretched out his calf and kicked him in the waist, motioning for him to hurry up.
However, she wore a begonia red fine-pleated skirt tonight, and the skirt slid up because of the action just now, revealing a greasy white thin calf and delicate and slender ankles. Seeing that the skin looked whiter and more attractive in the dark, Wei Feng's eyes deepened, and he stretched out his hand to hold her ankle, but fortunately, Su Xi discovered his intention in advance, and quickly retracted his foot, quickly covered it with his skirt, and said angrily: "What do you want to do?" ”
Wei Feng's eyes showed a trace of regret undisguisedly, and he slowly sat up from the bed, with a vague smile in his eyes, "What do you say?" ”
Su Xi reflexed: "No." ”
Wei Feng smiled lowly, "Youyou, I haven't said anything yet." ”
Su Xi was silent, anyway, the words that came out of Wei Feng's mouth were not good words.
I saw Wei Feng take out her embroidered purse from her arms, look at it carefully, point to the burned place and ask, "Can it be repaired here?" ”
Su Xi looked at it through the moonlight and said, "It can be can, but it will leave a patch after it is repaired, and it is not as good as the original." ”
Wei Feng said: "It doesn't matter, you can wear it." ”
Su Xi saw that Wei Feng didn't seem to be joking, thought about it for a while, and took the purse from him, "I'll give it a try." If it doesn't look good, will you wear it too? ”
Wei Feng bowed, and then said, "Make up for it now." ”
Su Xi asked in surprise, "...... Aren't you leaving? ”
Wei Feng propped his chin and smiled casually: "Naturally, I want to watch you from the sidelines." ”
It would take at least an hour or two to mend the purse, how could Su Xi let him stay in his boudoir for so long? Su Xi swore to die, wanting to drive Wei Feng out, but he was afraid of disturbing the listening geese outside again, so he didn't dare to make too many moves, cautious and frightened, and had no deterrent effect at all. After a while, she was exhausted, and she really didn't have the strength to fight with Wei Feng, so she had to rely on him.
Su Xi took out the needlework basket from the cabinet, lit the oil lamp on the Huanghuali incense table, sat on the embroidery pier by the table, took the purse and looked at it, thinking about what to do. She thought about it, found a piece of cloth of the same color, and sewed up the burned hole, only to add an extra patch, which looked very obvious.
Su Xi frowned in distress. Wei Feng said on the side: "That's fine." ”
Su Xi shook her head and said no, she was uncomfortable looking at herself, let alone a picky person like Wei Feng. She has seen the purse on Wei Feng's waist, and almost every time she meets, he wears it differently, not only with beautiful patterns, but also with exquisite stitches. She didn't think that Wei Feng would always carry her purse, but she was a little obsessive-compulsive and couldn't tolerate a little flaw, and since she promised to repair it, she had to make up for it so that she couldn't see it at all.
Su Xi finally came up with a way to embroider a hydrangea on that patch, so that what the moon rabbit was holding in his hand was not a branch, but a red hydrangea wrapped around it.
Under the light, I saw Su Xi hanging down her long eyelashes and mending her purse, rubbing her eyes from time to time, obviously sleepy.
Wei Feng supported her with her hands, the corners of her lips were slightly curved, and she looked intently at the little girl under the lamp, calling her from time to time to wake her up.
After a while, Su Xi was really sleepy, and his eyes were about to be unable to open, so he discussed with sleepiness: "Cousin Tingzhou, I want to sleep, can I make up for it tomorrow?" I'll make it up tomorrow and I'll let Qinglu send it to you. ”
At this time, it was already past the ugly time, and it would be dawn in another hour, and Su Xi had never stayed up so late.
Wei Feng pinched her little face and coaxed: "The young and obedient are already about to make up, hold on for a while." ”
Su Xi pouted and coquettishly dissatisfied: "I want to sleep." ”
The little girl was probably sleepy, her apricot eyes were half-squinted, and her little face was sleepy and aggrieved, and she was really cute to look at. Wei Feng smiled low and said, "Don't sleep, I have something to say to you." ”
Su Xi took advantage of the situation and drilled into his arms, his head against his shoulder, and his eyes did not open, "What's the matter?" ”
Wei Feng held one of her hands and said, "Give me a little more time, youyou, I'll let someone come to the General's Mansion to say goodbye after a while." ”
After a while, Su Xi slowly opened his eyes, and his mind finally cleared up a little, "Why did you suddenly say this?" ”
Wei Feng rubbed her fingertips and said slowly: "Didn't someone accuse me of not knowing about marriage during the day?" If I don't hurry up and settle her, what if another cousin comes and snatches my little girl away? ”
Su Xi blushed, and Wei Feng seemed to have forgotten that he was also her "cousin", although it was a little far away. She got out of Wei Feng's arms and said, "I won't tell you." So saying, he went back to bed.
But how could Wei Feng let her go? Grabbing her wrist, he carried her back into his arms like a bunny.
Su Xi cried a little: "Please let me sleep." ”
Wei Feng said: "Be good, go to sleep after embroidery." ”
In the end, Su Xi was really not Wei Feng's opponent, and he couldn't bear his grace and might, and almost finished embroidering the remaining little hydrangea with his eyes half-closed. Seeing her little head little by little, during which she accidentally pricked her fingers once, Wei Feng sucked off the blood beads for her distressedly, she snorted lightly, and said, "The cat cries and the mouse is fake mercy." ”
Wei Feng smiled and didn't refute.
After finally sewing and mending the purse, Su Xi cut off the last bit of thread, stuffed the purse into his arms, didn't care about talking, kicked off the embroidered shoes, got into the bed and fell asleep.
Wei Feng looked at the moon rabbit holding the hydrangea purse in his hand, Su Xi embroidered it carefully, but in the end, he fell asleep, and he was not so-so. Her embroidery work is not very good, if it was placed in the past, Wei Feng would not look down on this kind of childish purse, but because it was embroidered by Su Xi, and the shape of this rabbit is too similar to Su Xi, it is pleasing to the eye.
Wei Feng smiled at the corner of his lips, put his purse into his arms, got up and walked to the bed. Seeing Su Xi facing him sideways, she was already asleep, and there was a light blue circle under her eyes, she was really tired tonight. He unfolded the thin quilt over her, leaned over and kissed her on the brow, stood on the edge of the bed and watched for a moment before blowing out the oil lamp and leaving.
*
The next day, Su Xi slept until noon, and finally he was so hungry that he "gurgling" and playing drums before he was willing to get up.
While waiting for her to freshen up, Tingyan asked, "Didn't the girl sleep well yesterday?" The slave saw that you woke up several times in the night, and your face was not good today, is the incense at night bad? Do you want a different one tonight? ”
Su Xi shook his head, "It's not a matter of incense...... Yes, it's because I'm too tired during the day and can't sleep well at night. ”
Tingyan was very considerate of her, "That girl should have a good rest today, just rest in the school today, and the slave will let Tinghe cook a bowl of lily perch soup for you for a while, and you will be able to sleep more peacefully at night." ”
Su Xi answered. But only she knows that she didn't sleep well because she was too tired, but Wei Feng didn't let her sleep, and she had to finish her purse. In the end, she forgot how she threaded the needle and thread, and she didn't know how well she sewed, but she remembered that after she stuffed her purse to Wei Feng, she fell asleep.
Why did Wei Feng have to finish her embroidery last night? Su Xi pursed her mouth, couldn't figure it out, simply didn't want to, and after eating something, she went back to bed and continued to sleep.
This sleep lasted until the evening, Su Xi recuperated enough, remembered that he hadn't taken a bath after practicing the movements last night, and hurriedly asked the maid to prepare water for a bath. After taking a bath, it was not dark yet, and the entire Shangjing City was covered by an orange afterglow, and the afterglow became a cloud, and the clouds and shadows were mottled.
Su Xi stood in the courtyard and watched for a while, then turned around and went back to the house.
At noon on the second day, Su Xi came back from the family school and saw a black painted carriage parked outside the door, not like it was in the house, but like someone visiting. It was not uncommon for people to visit the house, so it did not attract her attention, and she went straight back to her yard.
When he went to Qiutangju to ask the Yin family for peace in the evening, Su Xi stayed in Qiutangju and had dinner together.
Su Xi asked casually: "Mother, who is the person who came to our house today?" ”
Yin said: "It's Mrs. Hui'anhou." ”
Su Xi's mind turned, and it took a long time to remember who Mrs. Hui'an Hou was. She widened her eyes in surprise, wasn't Sun Rui, the son of Hui'an Hou, the husband who had the good character of Longyang in Su Lingrong's previous life? Why did you come here at this time? Now that Su Lingrong has already married Wu Er of Qing'an Hou, is it difficult for him to intervene?
Su Xi thought a lot in her heart, but said on her face: "My daughter remembers that Hui'an Hou doesn't have much contact with our family, why did she suddenly come over today?" ”
Yin Shi saw that she looked ignorant and was still a little girl, so she didn't tell her, Mrs. Hui'an Hou came to say goodbye to her son, and she fell in love with Su Lingyun, the sixth girl in the house.
