31. Self-defeating

After changing the strings, Su Xi hugged the qin and thanked Wei Feng.

Outside the door, a maid wearing a pastel butterfly pattern dress walked in, curtsied to Wei Feng and said, "Lord Shizi, the princess asked someone to invite you back to the house." ”

Wei Feng's face was not slight, and he said lightly: "What's the matter?" ”

The maid whispered a few words in Wei Feng's ear, and saw him chuckling, with a hint of mockery on her lips, and the hand of the princess was stretched out. He got up and said to the little girl in front of him: "Youyou, if Mr. Gu wakes up, talk to him for me, and I will leave first." ”

Su Xi said yes, and after seeing Wei Feng get into the carriage, he walked back to the piano room to continue practicing.

After practicing for a long time, Mr. Gu finally woke up and came over to guide her for half a day. After Su Xi returned home, it was already the beginning of the lanterns, and because he was a little tired today, he didn't go to Qiutangju to eat, and went back to the flowers to incense directly. Listening to the girl below, the fourth girl Su Lingrong didn't eat all day today and yesterday in order to resist the family affair with the Qing'an Hou Mansion, and she had already fainted from hunger, and the second lady Guo ran to the eldest lady to ask for a favor after knowing it, and the eldest lady was unmoved.

Su Xi was not surprised at all when she listened to the girl say this while practicing the movements. Su Lingrong did this just a bitter trick, but Su Lingrong didn't know her mother's character, once the Yin family decided, she would not change it, not to mention that this time it was not as small as usual, if she didn't teach the second room a lesson, then her mother's mother would be in vain.

Su Xi said: "How is the situation on my mother's side?" ”

The girl was a second-class maid with fragrant flowers, and said while secretly looking at Su Xi: "The eldest lady was a little angry, and someone invited the second lady back, but it was okay, and there were as many meals as usual at night." ”

Su Xi nodded, relieved, "You go down." ”

Before leaving, he couldn't help but glance at the nine girls.

Usually, Su Xi has four big girls around him, such as Tingyan, and he doesn't need them to be in front of him, so this is the first time he sees Su Xi practicing these strange moves.

Although the posture is strange, Hui Chun feels that it is made by his own nine girls, which is indescribably good-looking. The clothes of the nine girls are also quite strange, with tops and bottoms, but the clothes are made of soft loose flowers, which fit the body and outline exquisite curves. As soon as the ninth girl raised her hands, she revealed a slender and soft little waist, which was really something that could be held with both hands, and a small piece of skin exposed was also white and greasy, and the navel hidden under the clothes was small and cute...... Hui Chun went out in a panic, stood under the porch and touched his face, which was amazingly hot. She never thought that she could blush when she looked at a woman, and that woman was still the ninth girl in her family.

At this time, Su Xi naturally didn't know what Huichun was thinking, she took a shower after practicing the movements, and rested early.

The next day, I heard that Weiyuan General Lu Chi had come to visit Mrs. Su with his children, but Su Xi didn't take it to heart. Since the old lady had a stroke, Weiyuan General Lu Chi has been to Su Mansion several times, he used to be a disciple of the old lady, and he practiced martial arts with the old lady. Later, he joined the army, and the old lady had a kindness to him, and he always remembered the old lady's kindness, and every time he came back, he brought precious medicine that could not be found outside.

But today, Su Xi looked at the girl wearing a lotus-colored Su embroidered laurel skirt under the corridor, and was stunned for a while: "Sister Shu? ”

Lu Huishu's dress today is very different from that day at the racecourse, no wonder Su Xi almost didn't recognize it. She was wearing a bearded dress that day, and she was heroic, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was a handsome young man. Today, she is wearing the clothes of the girl's family, she has lost three points of heroism, a little more beautiful, she is smiling, energetic, much more moving than ordinary weak women in the boudoir.

Lu Huishu walked up to Su Xi and said with a generous smile: "Why haven't you seen me for a few days, as if you don't know me?" ”

Su Xi smiled embarrassedly and said, "Sister Shu is dressed so beautifully today, I almost can't recognize it." ”

Lu Huishu looked down at her dress, presumably not very accustomed to this, touched her nose and said, "My mother has to let me wear it like this." Don't say it's you, I almost don't know myself when I'm standing in front of the mirror today. As he spoke, he remembered something and said, "Is Sister Xi's leg injury completely healed last time?" There were some things at home before, and I came to see you after so long, don't you blame me? ”

Su Xi shook her head, she didn't expect Lu Huishu to still remember this, if she hadn't mentioned it, she would have forgotten it. "It's been okay for a long time, Sister Shu, don't blame yourself anymore, besides, you can't be blamed for this matter."

Halfway through speaking, Su Xi remembered the previous horse and asked, "Sister Shu found out why the horse suddenly got out of control?" ”

Lu Huishu raised her eyebrows, her expression was a little helpless, "I found out, it was Lord Wanping Weng who made people move." "Wan Ping Weng's people drugged the horse's forage, if the horse hadn't gone crazy in advance, she would have lost the game with Wan Ping Weng Master.

Su Xi twisted his eyebrows slightly, this Wanping Weng Lord is really delicate and willful, if he is not careful, this will kill him. "What happened later?" she asked. What is Sister Shu going to do? ”

Lu Huishu smiled: "What can I do?" She is the owner, so in order not to cause trouble to my father, she naturally has to endure it. ”

Su Xi was silent, although she was angry with Lu Huishu, but from Lu Huishu's point of view, she could only endure it. She regretted mentioning this topic a little, and didn't want to make Lu Huishu unhappy, so she said: "The Xifu begonias in my backyard are blooming, I'll take Sister Shu to see it." ”

Lu Huishu said goodbye, and the two went to the backyard together.

Most of the begonia flowers in the backyard are planted by Yin's family, Yin's likes flowers, and every year will spend a lot of effort to take care of these flowers. Su Xi asked Tingyan to serve snacks and tea, and sat on a stone bench under the tree with Lu Huishu to chat.

Although she has known Lu Huishu for a short time, she is cheerful, generous and lively, and the two have endless words together.

I don't know what Lu Huishu said, I saw Su Xi holding her cheeks, smiling, a pair of almond eyes like a crescent moon in the sky, and her beautiful and delicate little face was full of smiles. The begonia flowers around Rao is are in full swing, and in the eyes of some people, they still can't match her smile.

Su Zhi took two steps forward, and when he turned around, he saw that Lu Jianghuai, the eldest prince of General Weiyuan's mansion, was still standing motionless under the corridor, and reminded: "Jianghuai." ”

Lu Jianghuai came back to his senses, his face was hot, but fortunately, his skin had become a dark wheat color due to his perennial martial arts practice, which was not obvious and could not be seen. He stepped forward and pretended to be calm and said, "What does Second Brother Su want to try with me?" ”

Su Zhi's tone was flat: "You decide." ”

*

In the backyard, Su Xi talked to Lu Huishu for a while.

When Su Xi was about to invite Lu Huishu to sit in the open air, she said, "I just heard my brother say that he wants to compete with Second Brother Su, do you want to go and see it?" I heard that Second Brother Su is superb in martial arts, and one person can fight ten people on the battlefield, I don't know who is more powerful between him and my brother? ”

Su Xi saw Lu Huishu's look of hope, presumably not to convince herself to watch it, but that she wanted to see it. Su Xi didn't break her, it just so happened that she might not have seen her second brother practice martial arts for a long time. In the past, when she was a child, Su Zhi often practiced martial arts in the courtyard, she sat under the porch and watched, and occasionally clapped her hands to cheer up her second brother, but she had never done this kind of thing since she was reborn.

Su Xi said happily: "Okay, let's go and have a look." ”

Then he walked to Qiutangju. As soon as they arrived at the door of Qiutangju, they heard the sound of blades colliding inside, Su Xi and Lu Huishu glanced at each other, took their skirts up the steps, and walked towards the courtyard.

Sure enough, there were two people standing in the southeast corner of the courtyard, both holding a sword. Su Zhi was wearing an azure silk brocade robe, with a long body and sparse eyebrows, Lu Jianghuai stood opposite him, wearing a dark blue persimmon robe, tall and straight, with ape arms and bee waist, he was clearly two years younger than Su Zhi, and he was a little taller than Su Zhi when he looked closely.

Su Xi and Lu Huishu stood under the porch and looked at the two people in the courtyard.

Lu Jianghuai's eyes turned and landed on Su Xi, his heartbeat was fast, and the movements of his subordinates were a little slow. At this time, Su Zhi stepped forward with his sword, and he hurriedly took two steps back, narrowly avoiding Su Zhi's attack. I couldn't help but look at the little girl under the corridor again, and saw a hint of joy on her face, presumably happy for her brother, and my heart was a little depressed.

Lu Jianghuai didn't want to lose face in front of Su Xi, so he quickly sorted out his feelings and dealt with Su Zhi with a twelve-point spirit. The two fought for more than a dozen rounds, and the blades collided, and neither of them lost to anyone.

Lu Huishu also knows martial arts, and she can watch it with relish at this time, and from time to time she cheers up Lu Jianghuai loudly.

After another twenty rounds, the two were evenly matched. Lu Jianghuai wanted to show Xi in front of Su Xi, and with twelve points of skill, he turned his arm and picked up Su Zhi's sword, and the tip of the sword slashed at Su Zhi's chest.

It's just that this time I didn't control my strength, and my hand was a little heavy, and I saw a touch of blood on Su Zhi's chest.

Lu Jianghuai hurriedly withdrew the long sword, and with a "groan" in his heart, he knew that it was not good.

Sure enough, Su Xi's little face turned white under the corridor, and he shouted: "Second brother! "Hurriedly ran over here.

"Second brother, are you okay?" Su Xi stepped forward to check on Su Zhi's injury, and saw that the wound was bleeding continuously, and his face became even paler, so he hurriedly asked Tingyan and Tinghe to ask Dr. Hao.

Su Zhi held her little hand that couldn't help but tremble, and said comfortingly: "It's just a little injury, it's not in the way." ”

Su Zhi was telling the truth, Lu Jianghuai was measured, although the wound bleed a lot, but he knew that he didn't hurt any muscles and bones, just skin injuries. But how did Su Xi know, she panicked when she saw Su Zhi bleeding, and for a while she remembered how her second brother was injured, turned her head to look at Lu Jianghuai behind her, pursed her pink lips, and her beautiful apricot eyes were bright with anger.

Lu Jianghuai held the sword and began to regret the competition with Su Zhi, he offended the little girl, stepped forward and said, "I ......"

Su Xi glared at him for a while, then turned his head without saying a word, and took out a handkerchief to stop Su Zhi's bleeding, obviously unwilling to pay attention to him.
