Listening to the second master in the mouth of the crane, it is Su Xi's second brother Su Zhi.

Su Zhi followed the old lady Su Qingbo to the border in the autumn and has not returned yet. The old lady just delivered a message to her home, saying that she would try to come back before the Shangyuan Festival, Su Xi thought that the second brother would not give her a special gift, but she didn't expect the second brother to still think about her.

Su Xi asked people to bring things in, and when they saw it, they were stunned-

Two big camphor boxes are as tall as half a Suxi. When I opened it, the one on the left was a gadget with the characteristics of the border gate, and the one on the right was full of boxes of cloth and clothing. Su Xi took out a peacock blue incense cloud yarn with rose red rollers and looked at it, the color was bright and the pattern was gorgeous, it was the top grade in the fabric. Looking at the box again, there are many of these fabrics, and it is probably not easy to collect so much.

Her second brother knew that she loved beautiful clothes, and even if she was far away at the border, he didn't forget her.

Su Xi suddenly lost his mind. She remembered that she also liked gorgeous and delicate clothes in her previous life, but she was wide and fat, and she was slightly brightly dressed, and the two cousins in the second room sarcastically mocked her like a "round jade dumpling".

Su Xi was hurt. After that, when I put on clothes, I try to avoid bright colors and only choose simple and plain ones.

It's just that my heart still yearns for those beautiful clothes that she put on the shelf.

If she loses weight in this life, will she be able to wear it?

"Girl?" Hearing that Lu saw Su Xi's distraction, he couldn't help but call.

Su Xi said "hmm", blinked his eyes lightly, and suddenly came back to his senses.

Listen to the heron ask, "Where do you think these things are placed?" ”

Su Xi thought for a while: "Put it in the side room, and put it with the gifts of Sister Tang and Sister Yu." ”

Listening to the heron, he asked the two boxes to be carried into the side room.

At this time, Tingli brought the clothes worn at the family banquet and asked Su Xi: "Girl, do you see these clothes?" ”

Su Xi saw that a peach-colored yarn trimmed phoenix was wearing a peony pattern jacket, with a pleated pomegranate skirt underneath, and a pair of snow blue satin embroidered shoes on her feet. In the past, Su Xi liked this outfit very much, but now she is not a real ten-year-old girl, she has a unique opinion on color, and then look at this dress, pink with red, even if it is the New Year, it is really too festive.

Su Xi said: "Don't I have a light-colored moonlight skirt?" Bring that dress, and I'll wear that one. ”

Listening to the oriole was a little surprised, the Yuehua skirt was sewn by the Yin family a few years ago, and there were ten skirts, the color was elegant, understated, and extremely exquisite. The clothes of Xiuchunju are hard to find, only ten ready-to-wear clothes are made a year, and the rest of the time is closed, and the shelves are sufficient. Even so, many people still flock to it every year just to ask for a piece of his family's clothes. This Yuehua skirt was embroidered by the proprietress of Chunju for the sake of Yin's face, and it was particularly sewn. It's just that Su Xi didn't like such a plain color at that time, so he kept it in the depths of his closet.

At present, Su Xi proposed to wear that skirt, and Li was naturally surprised. "Didn't the girl think it was too plain?"

Su Xi tilted his head and asked seriously, "Did I say it?" ”

"......" Hearing that Li was caught in by her, she thought about it, as if she hadn't said it.

Tingli picked out the Yuehua skirt from the wardrobe, and re-combed a double screw bun for Su Xi, the bun was wrapped with a thin silk pearl gold chain, the chain was a little long, and the remaining section hung down on both sides, and the bottom was decorated with two fluffy goose feather balls. Dressed like this, lined with Su Xi's cute round face of Yuxue, it is even more innocent.

Listening to Li's look at Su Xi's dress, her eyes lit up, and she praised: "The girl's skirt is really good, it looks much better than the match just now." ”

Su Xi stood in front of the mirror and looked at it, quite satisfied, and said, "Let's go, let's go to the upper room to visit the ancestor." ”

The old lady Tan lives in Chunhui Hall.

When Su Xi arrived at Chunhui Hall, the people in the second and third rooms had already arrived. The second aunt Guo and the third aunt Yu sat under the old lady, and the two cousins, Su Lingrong and Su Lingyun, stood aside, and when they saw Su Xi coming in, they all looked sideways.

Su Lingrong is from Guo's family, thirteen this year; Su Lingyun is from the second master's concubine Zhang, and she is twelve this year. The two ranked fifth and sixth respectively.

There is no daughter in the third room.

In this case, why is Su Xi ranked ninth?

This starts with the past. In the early years of Su Mansion, there was only one family, the old lady Su Qingbo had a younger brother named Su Qinghe, after Su Qinghe was promoted to the governor of Liangguang in Yipin, he separated from Su Qingbo and built another mansion in Yangliu Hutong opposite the General's Mansion. Although the brothers separated, they still had a good relationship and the two families had close contacts. The grandchildren of the General's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion were numerous, so they were each ranked in their own order, and the granddaughters were the girls of the two families together. The general's mansion is a talented girl, and the reason why Su Xi ranks ninth is because there are still six girls in the governor's mansion!

The girls of the Su family are all named from Ling Congcao, but Su Xi is special, and she is named according to the male generation of the Su family.

In the year of Yinyin's pregnancy, the old lady led the troops to the battle, died nine times, and finally returned victorious. As soon as he arrived home, Su Xi couldn't wait to get out of Yin's belly. The old lady said that Su Xi was his little lucky star, and because Su Xi was the youngest, it was inevitable that he would have more love, so when he named him, he followed a few brothers to give the word "Xi".

Su Xi walked up to the old lady and cried out sweetly, "Grandmother." ”

The old lady pulled her to sit on the cushion, looked at her, and said distressedly: "Why haven't you seen her for a few days, it seems that you have lost a lot of weight?" But the subordinates are not serving you wholeheartedly, and they are slow to treat you? ”

It's not as exaggerated as the old lady said, but in just a few days, how can you lose weight so fast? But now Su Xi likes to hear such words the most, she held her face, her eyes were shining, and she looked at the old lady in surprise, "Are you really thin?" Grandmother look again, where has she lost weight? ”

The old lady couldn't help but laugh at her appearance, but she still didn't forget to preach: "What's so good about losing weight?" According to me, it's better to be fat and good-looking, little girl's family, only with meat is blessed, I look at you like this now. ”

Su Xi pouted, thinking that it was because you both liked her, so she was good anyway. In her previous life, she listened to these words, so she finally indulged herself to be fat, and she may not be able to believe it anymore in this life. Su Xi took the old lady's arm, and while making a obedient appearance, she went in her left ear and went out in her right ear to the old lady's words.

The old lady said something else: "I heard that the Yin family found you an ordinance grandmother?" ”

Su Xi nodded. This matter was mentioned by Su Xi first, if she doesn't want to be trampled under Fu Yi's feet in this life, it's not enough to just diet, but also to shape her demeanor. Su Xi only mentioned it to the Yin family, and within a few days, the Yin family found the old person in the palace, Mama Ye. This Mama Ye is not only highly qualified, but also very strict. Su Xi is lazy, and he is just right to be a person like this, and he doesn't even have a chance to be lazy.

"Mama Ye trained me for half an hour every morning and evening, and taught me many ways to shape my body." Suxi Road.

The old lady let out an "oh" and said suspiciously: "Half an hour in the morning and evening?" I remember you're the laziest girl, can you do it? ”

"Grandmother." Su Xi interrupted the old lady's words, drilled into the old lady's arms, and rubbed it: "I'm not lazy." ”

When Su Xi was three years old, he followed Master Su back to his hometown in Jiangnan and stayed in Jiangnan for a whole year. After returning to Beijing, he learned to speak to the people in the south of the Yangtze River, Wu Nong spoke softly, soft and beautiful. Especially when Su Xi wanted to be coquettish, she dragged a soft and glutinous tone, and the voice seemed to be soaked in honey, which made the old lady's heart soften. Su Lingrong and Su Lingyun on the side are both women, and they have to admit at this time that this voice is really good.

Su Lingrong looked at Su Xi coldly, and saw that she was dressed a little differently than usual today. The pink phoenix wore a peony jacket and a moon-white moon-white skirt, when Su Xi came in, the skirt swayed, and the skirt swayed gently, as if the moonlight was circulating.

Su Lingrong naturally recognized that it was the skirt of Embroidered Chunju. Embroidered Chunju's clothes are only made in one style, there is no duplicate, and you can't buy it even if you want to buy it outside.

Su Lingrong's father, Su Yang, was a concubine, and after Aunt He died, it was the old lady who raised him as an adult. Although Su Yang has been raised under the old lady's knees since he was a child, he is separated by a layer, and he is not his biological mother and son, so he is not as close as the eldest master, the third old man and the old lady. Because of this, the old lady is more attentive to Su Xi, and sometimes ignores the other two granddaughters.

Su Lingrong couldn't help but feel sour when she thought of her father, who was idle and spent all day drinking, and then when she thought of the handsome old man who hugged Su Xi and laughed. She looked away, and said in her heart, no matter how favored she is, she is not a fat ball.

The old lady took off the turquoise jade bracelet in her hand and put it on Su Xi's wrist, "Today is our young birthday, and my grandmother doesn't have anything good here, so I will give you this pair of bracelets." "This is absolutely self-humbling, who doesn't know that the old lady has so many treasures here, and the things that are rewarded today alone can fill a house.

This pair of bracelets has a great origin. It is said that it was left by Taizu during his reign, and there were only two pairs, one pair was given to the original Empress Shujing, and the other pair was awarded to General Su.

These old ladies have been wearing them on their hands, and now they have given it to Su Xi, which is somewhat surprising.

The second lady Guo said sourly: "Mother treats Sister Xi so well. "There is no such bracelet even Sister Rong.

The old lady looked at the short-sighted second daughter-in-law and said, "Sister Rong and Sister Yun's birthdays, I will also prepare for them." ”

The third lady is a flexible person, and when she saw that the old lady's face changed, she opened the topic and said: "This pair of bracelets is so beautiful, they all say that jade raises people, but in fact, people can also raise jade." Look, this pair of jade bracelets was raised by her mother to be lustrous in color, how beautiful they are. Young and young, I haven't thanked my ancestors soon. ”

Su Xi said: "Thank you Ancestor. ”

Later, the second lady and the third lady also gave Su Xi things, one was a lion rolling hydrangea gold longevity lock, and the other was a gold-inlaid white jade earring. After Su Xi thanked the two, the group got up and went to the front hall. The family banquet was held lively, except for the old lady and the second master Su Zhi, a large family was present, and Su Xi's eldest brother Su Li and several cousins were also there.

Su Li is now the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, just over the weak crown, and married the daughter of the Ministry of Rites four years ago, Luo Shi. It's a pity that Luo's life is thin, and he encountered heavy bleeding during childbirth, and he couldn't hold it out without waiting for the doctor to come, leaving only a son Su Baiyu to Su Li, who just turned three years old this year.

At this time, Su Baiyu was sitting next to Su Li, a small person, neatly dressed, bowing his head and eating silently.

Su Baiyu was surrounded by his sixth cousin Su Zhen, no matter how Su Zhen teased him, he never said a word.

This child has always been withdrawn and eccentric, and others have long been used to it, so they didn't take it to heart when they saw this.

Su Xi seemed to remember something, his movements paused slightly, and he slowly looked at Su Baiyu.

In his previous life, Su Xi didn't pay much attention to this little nephew, because the two were a little different in age and generation, and Su Baiyu was a quiet person, so he couldn't play together. But if Su Xi remembers correctly, it was at the beginning of this year, and this little guy went without surviving the Shangyuan Festival.
