On the way back, Fu Yi and Fu Shaoyun sat in the carriage together.

Fu Yi was silent all the way, and when she was about to arrive at the Qingguo Mansion, she asked, "Brother, have you ever heard Sister Xi play the piano?" ”

Fu Shaoyun was silent. However, this is the default meaning in Fu Yi's eyes, she knows her brother's thoughts best, she has cared about Su Xi's little girl since she was a child, but whenever she encounters any questions she doesn't want to answer, she will deal with it in silence. She asked, "How is Sister Xi'er playing the piano?" ”

The carriage soon arrived at the door of the Qingguo Mansion. Fu Shaoyun didn't get out of the carriage immediately, but thought for a while and said, "Sister Yi'er, Youyou is two years younger than you, your talent is already famous enough, she will not pose any threat to you." ”

Fu Yi was shocked: "What does my brother think I am going to do to her?" ”

Fu Shaoyun smiled and said, "I just don't want you to have any misunderstandings about Youyou. ”

Fu Yi pursed her lips and did not speak. Just as Fu Shaoyun was about to get off the carriage, she suddenly asked: "My brother thinks so much about Sister Xi'er, does he like her?" ”

Fu Shaoyun's footsteps stagnated slightly, and he turned to look at Fu Yi, his starry eyes deepened.

Although Fu Yi was asking, he said it very firmly. Coupled with Fu Shaoyun's reaction, she was even more sure. "I advise my brother to accept this thought earlier, my mother will not agree to your relationship with Sister Xi'er, no matter what you have done before, as long as your mother does not let go, it will not be possible for you. When you went to the western suburbs for a few days, my mother was already busy seeing your relatives for you, and the other party was the daughter of the Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites......"

"Sister Yi." Fu Shaoyun interrupted her, "Is it possible, I have my own sense of proportion in my heart, so you don't have to worry about my brother." ”

With that, he got out of the carriage and walked to the house.

Fu Yi looked at his back and frowned.

Fu Shaoyun did not go back to his courtyard, but went to the upper room of the Duchess of Qingguo.

The old lady of Qingguo Gong was sitting under the porch basking in the sun, and when she saw him, she hurriedly beckoned and said, "Brother Yun is here, come, I just sent some fresh tangerines here, you can taste them." ”

Fu Shaoyun sat next to the old lady, took a tangerine from the fruit bowl, peeled it and put it in the old lady's hand, and said, "Grandmother, my grandson has something to say to you." ”

At this end, Su Xi was busy with another matter.

Mr. Gu Tong lived in the General's Mansion for nearly two months, and now that the matter of the refugees in Qingshui Mountain has been resolved and peace has been restored, he proposed to move back to Qingshui Mountain. Su Xi kept twice, but Mr. Gu Tong insisted on going back, she had no reason to force her to stay, so she had to order someone to prepare a carriage and supplies, and personally sent Mr. back to Qingshui Mountain early the next morning.

Su Xi originally wanted to send some things to Mr. Gu to take back, but Mr. refused to accept them. She knew that her husband liked to drink tea, so she asked for half a jar of Emei snow buds and a can of Emei Hair Peak from the old lady, which made the old lady feel distressed, but fortunately, Mr. Gu was finally willing to accept it this time.

When he arrived at the top of Qingshui Mountain, Mr. Gu stood at the gate of the bamboo garden and said, "I have taught you everything I should teach these days, and the rest will be slowly comprehended by yourself." In the future, you don't have to come to Qingshui Mountain every day to learn the piano, you can practice diligently in the house, if you don't understand anything, you can come to the mountain to see again. ”

Su Xi respectfully bowed three big salutes to Mr. Gu and said, "Thank you, student, for your teaching. A teacher for one day, a teacher for life. The kindness of Mr. will never be forgotten by the students. ”

Mr. Gu waved his hand, still with that unsympathetic temperament: "You don't need to say these vain, don't embarrass me in the future." ”

Su Xi couldn't help but laugh and said yes.

After seeing Mr. walk into the bamboo house, Su Xi returned to the general's mansion.

When I went out today, the weather was bad, dark clouds were overwhelming, and the sky was low, as if it could rain at any time. Su Xi was worried that the mountain road would not be easy to walk after the rain, so he asked Tingyan to urge the driver to go faster. Sure enough, as soon as I arrived at the door, the raindrops the size of beans crackled and fell, and after a while, it began to rain heavily.

Su Xi hurriedly returned to the flowers and incense, Rao listened to the wild goose holding an umbrella behind him, and his clothes were inevitably soaked by the rain. As soon as she arrived at the bottom of the porch, Su Xi was lowering her head and dusting the water droplets on her sleeves, when a maid ran over in a hurry and bumped into her, causing her to stagger back two steps.

Listening to the wild goose scolding on the side: "How do you walk? Didn't you see the girl standing here, who taught you to be so reckless? ”

The maid knelt down, bowed her head and said, "The girl is angry, the girl is angry." ”

Back and forth is just this sentence.

Su Xi was in a trance, and Shaoqing glanced down at her and said, "Where are you the maid on an errand?" What is your name? ”

The maid said: "Back to the girl, the slave is responsible for the sprinkling and sweeping in the courtyard, and her name is Qinglu." ”

Su Xi didn't continue to ask, paused for a while and said, "You go down." ”

The maid retired.

Back in the house, Su Xi was a little absent-minded, and casually found an excuse to retreat Tingyan and Tinglu and others, took out the note handed to her by Qinglu from her sleeve, and unfolded it to take a look. The words on it are like flowing water, smooth and beautiful, and the content is only a short line, so that she can go to the back door now. She looked at the payment at the bottom again, and there was only one word "boat", but it was enough to explain who the person who wrote the letter was.

Su Xi's heartbeat was a few moments faster, and she panicked and put the note on the oil lamp and burned it, until only ashes remained, and her heartbeat slowly returned to normal, as if she had done something bad for fear of being caught.

Su Xi hesitated, not knowing whether he should listen to Wei Feng's words and go to the back door at this time, was he waiting for her at the back door? It's raining heavily, so what's the need to say now? Although Wei Feng saved her life last time, she was very grateful, but she didn't plan to accept him so soon.

Su Xi leaned on the window and looked, and instead of decreasing, the rain curtain outside had a tendency to fall more and more rapidly. The rain is so heavy, if she doesn't go out, Wei Feng should leave soon, right? She comforted herself so much, as soon as she closed the window, she sneezed three times in a row, and hurriedly called Tingyan and Tinghe to prepare hot water, planning to change out of the wet clothes on her body first and take a hot shower.

Half an hour later, Su Xi finished taking a shower and changed into clean clothes, and listened to the crane wiping her hair.

Su Xi didn't know what she was thinking, and after hearing the crane call "girl" three times, she woke up like a dream and said, "What did you say?" ”

Hearing the crane was a little helpless, and said, "Girl, the slave maid wants to ask you, is it sandalwood or wood incense tonight?" ”

Su Xi slowly sighed, "It's all right." ”

Obviously, the mind is not on this.

After Tinghe dried her hair, she asked Tinghe to open the window and asked, "Sister Tinghe, you said that it was raining so hard, would you get sick if you stood in the rain all the time?" ”

Hearing the crane laughed: "Why would the girl ask such a thing? Even a man who is beaten with iron will get sick in such a heavy rain. ”

Su Xi: "...... Oh. ”

After listening to the wild goose leaving, Su Xi was wearing a jacket with a Su embroidered peony pattern, and seeing that the sky was gradually sinking, Xindao Weifeng couldn't wait for her, she should have already left, right? And Wei Feng is not a fool, he will definitely not wait for her in the rain, no matter what, he should sit in the carriage. Thinking about it like this, Su Xi's heart became much more stable. She didn't expect Wei Feng to be so bold, openly asked the maid to pass the creed to her, and asked her to go to the back door, the general's mansion is so subordinate, isn't he afraid of being seen?

After dinner, the night was falling and the rain was getting lighter.

Su Xi looked at the lantern hanging high under the corridor, but finally couldn't hold back, and asked Tinghe to prepare an oil-paper umbrella, she said: "I'll go to Qiutangju for a walk, you don't have to follow, I'll be back soon." ”

With that, he left in a hurry.

Listening to the crane looking at Su Xi's back, she had already walked away as soon as she shouted "girl".

The General's Mansion has many corner gates, but only one back door. Su Xi came all the way to the door of the back door in the thin moonlight, and the mother-in-law guarding the door was probably hiding somewhere to be lazy because of the rain, and there was no one at the door.

Su Xi opened the back door and walked outside.

Outside the door, the night was dim and empty, and there was not a trace of anyone in sight.

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, but also inexplicably felt a faint loss, she was about to turn around and go back, when her eyes turned, and suddenly she caught a glimpse of a slender figure standing under the tree opposite.

Su Xi's footsteps were abrupt.
