The old lady of the Qingguo Mansion and the old lady Su are cousins, and it is not uncommon to come to the General's Mansion to visit the door.

Su Xi didn't take it to heart, and after washing up, he went to the Jiusi Book House in the Governor's Mansion to attend classes. Probably because she was cold yesterday, and her mind was a little dizzy when she got up early this morning, and she didn't listen to what Mr. Chu said, holding her cheeks, thinking about Wei Feng asking her to embroider a purse for him. Fortunately, she had already learned the "Chu Ci Nine Thoughts Chapter" that Mr. said in her previous life, and she memorized it like a stream, but she did not delay the course because of this.

Su Xi said in her heart, what did Wei Feng ask her to embroider her purse for no reason? How did he know she would say yes?

Wei Feng is the prince of the Jin Dynasty, and there are more people around him who can embroider a purse for him, even if he doesn't have himself, he won't lack this thing.

Besides, she didn't know what style he liked.

She doesn't embroider.

This compartment, the upper room of the General's Mansion.

Mrs. Su personally entertained the old lady of Qingguo, and let the maid under her sit in the Emei snow bud of this spring, sitting in the Taishi chair, because she is a cousin, she speaks more casually than ordinary people, "What kind of wind blew you here today?" You're also old, and you're going to have to come all the time like this, so what's the wrong thing for the children to pass on, so you have to come over in person? ”

The old lady of Qingguo smiled, she was born four or five points like Mrs. Su, and when she smiled, she was even more like a point, and said slowly: "It is precisely because this matter is so important that I can't let the children below pass it on, I have to come here in person to rest assured." ”

As soon as she said this, Mrs. Su was curious, "Oh, what is so important?" ”

The old lady of Qingguo sold a pass, saying that she would not be able to say it until the eldest lady Yin came over.

As soon as she heard that she was going to invite Yin's family, Mrs. Su paused for tea, and vaguely guessed seven or eight points in her heart. The three generations of Qingguo Mansion have been passed down, and in Fu Shaoyun's generation, he is the only eldest son, and now Fu Shaoyun is eighteen, and it is almost time to settle the family affairs in the past two years. The old lady of Qingguo had already said that she had fallen in love with Su Xi, and she wanted to invite the Yin family at this time, so her intention was very clear.

If she really wants to marry the Qingguo Mansion, Mrs. Su has no objection to this marriage.

Su Xi and Fu Shaoyun grew up together, not to mention childhood sweethearts, the two families have a close relationship, even if Su Xi marries in the past, he will not suffer any grievances. It's just that this is Mrs. Su's idea, and it depends on Yin's opinion.

Not long after, Yin came, wearing a honey-colored passionflower pattern slanted cardigan, holding a fallen horse bun, and simply wearing a golden green grass hairpin on his head, his cheeks were plump, and his complexion was very good, and she was clearly a woman in her forties, and she still looked like she was in her early thirties.

After the Yin family entered the house, they first saluted Mrs. Su, and when they saw that Mrs. Qingguo was also there, they smiled respectfully: "Look at this posture, what did my mother and Mrs. Fu say to their daughter-in-law?" ”

Mrs. Su said, "Sit down first." ”

Yin sat in the rose chair under the old lady.

With a smile on her face, the old lady of Qingguo said straight to the point: "Sister Xi can be in the house today?" ”

Yin's smile froze, but he didn't lose his temper, and soon returned to normal, "I went to study at the clan school early in the morning. ”

The old lady of Qingguo said: "Sister Xi is thirteen this year, why do you still want to go to the clan to study?" I saw that other people's girls had to learn to do embroidery when they were thirteen years old, and they didn't have the time to learn. ”

"The old lady doesn't know that the young are not yet thirteen." Yin picked up the teacup on the table of the Eight Immortals and put it down, his smile did not change, but his mind was already like a mirror, and said: "Besides, if you want to study, I have no reason to stop you." It's good for the girl's family to read more books, and only when she has poetry and books in her belly can she be angry, and she will not be looked down upon by her husband's family in the future. ”

The old lady of Qingguo nodded approvingly, and said, "That's right, I see that Sister Xi has changed a lot in the past two years, and I think it's because she has read a lot of books." ”

Yin pinched the cup and didn't answer the sentence.

Seeing that the foreshadowing was almost done, the old lady of Qingguo opened the skylight and said brightly: "Brother Yun went to me the day before yesterday and said something heart-wrenching to me. To tell the truth, I have watched him grow up with Sister Xi over the years, these two are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses, if they can become a pair in the future, it will definitely be a good marriage praised by everyone. In addition, Brother Yun is wholeheartedly devoted to Sister Xi'er, he made a deal with me that day, and after becoming a parent, he will definitely not let Sister Xi suffer any grievances, let alone take concubines...... It's the first time I've ever seen him so interested in a girl......"

Yin Shi listened to the old lady of Qingguo babble after saying this, and was silent for several breaths before saying: "Old lady, I won't tell you anything, I am still young, and I only have such a daughter as her under the knees of the old man, I want to keep her for two more years, and I don't plan to tell her about family affairs so early." ”

That's a rejection. But the old lady of Qingguo is not so easy to deal with, "I can understand what you said, but I don't have to be in a hurry for this moment, or wait for two or three more years, and we Brother Yun can also wait." ”

After all, she is the cousin of Mrs. Su, and it is difficult to say it too much, which hurts the harmony of the two families. Yin smiled and said: "The old lady doesn't know about the young, this child looks well-behaved and lovely, but in fact, she is still a little girl who has not grown up, squeamish and willful, I'm afraid it's not as good as you think." ”

When the old lady of Qingguo heard this, she didn't care at all, "It's good for the girl's family to be squeamish, and it hurts to be squeamish." ”

Yin's smile stiffened a little, but he didn't expect this old lady to be a difficult person. It's not that Fu Shaoyun is bad, it's just that there is a mother-in-law like Mei's above, and it must be difficult to serve, and Yin's doesn't want Su Xi to be pressed by Mei's after marrying, so it's too tiring to live like that.

Yin said: "The six girls in the house have not yet said that they are married, and it is not good for Sister Xi to cross her sister to decide on the family first, I am afraid that by the time Sister Xi makes a marriage, it will be two or three years later." It's not good to tell Shaoyun that kid to wait so long, it's not like delaying him, in my opinion, the old lady should think about this matter again......"

Speaking of which, the old lady of Qingguo is insisting, and it is difficult to say anything.

The old lady thought that this family affair would be settled easily, after all, the two families were right, and they were cousins, and the two children stood together and were talented and beautiful, like a golden boy and a jade girl, where could there be more suitable than this?

Unexpectedly, the Yin family refused to let go, which made her feel quite sorry.

*

Su Xi didn't know what was happening at home, let alone the purpose of the old lady of Qingguo, and as soon as she returned to the house, she was called to Qiutangju by the Yin family.

Su Xi said: "Mother, why are you in a hurry to call me?" ”

Yin sat on the rattan-faced Arhat bed, and when he saw Su Xi coming, he sent all the maids in the house out, even the two big maids Danlu and Danwu were no exception.

Seeing this, Su Xi knew that the Yin family must have something big to say to her, so she couldn't help but get up, smiled, sat opposite the Yin family uprightly, and asked with big black eyes: "Mother, what's the matter?" ”

Yin thought about it for an afternoon, worried about scaring his daughter, and thoughtfully said, "Youyou, what do you think of your cousin Shaoyun?" ”

Su Xi was stunned, and quickly understood what was going on, and said with a red face: "Mother, why do you tell me this?" ”

Yin said euphemistically: "Today, the old lady of Qingguo is here, and when I talk about you and Shaoyun when they were young, I want to know what you think......

The daughters of the Su family are very few, and they are all very precious, especially Su Xi grew up in the palm of her hand, and her family affairs are not as conservative as those of other families, and she will consult the girls in private.

Su Xi was sloppy: "Cousin Shaoyun is kind and considerate, even compared with the second brother, it is not much better." ”

The Yin family still doesn't know her, since she said so, she has no love for Fu Shaoyun, but she is still a little worried: "Youyou, you really don't have a ...... for him"

Su Xi shook her head like a rattle, and said coquettishly: "Mother, how old is your daughter, you want to marry me?" ”

Yin breathed a sigh of relief, since her daughter was not emotionally attached to Fu Shaoyun, if she was emotional, she didn't know what to do.

Yin nodded the tip of her nose and said, "Do you think you're still young?" In another two or three years, I won't be able to keep it. ”

Su Xi wanted to refute, but for some reason she suddenly remembered that behind the courtyard that day, Wei Feng said that she wanted to marry her, and suddenly her heart was empty.

After returning to the flower open, Su Xi saw that Tingli was sitting at the door embroidering, and saw her hurriedly standing up and said, "Girl." ”

Tingli has rested for two months since he broke his leg, and now he is almost better, and he insists on returning to Su Xi to serve.

Su Xi saw that she was holding an embroidery shed in her hand, and said curiously, "What are you embroidering?" ”

Listening to Li's words: "Back to the girl, the slave saw that your purse was old last time, so I wanted to re-embroider a few purses for you." ”

Su Xi was silent.

Hearing that Li looked up and saw that her face was strange, as if she had thought of something, she couldn't help but cry: "Girl? ”

Su Xi hurriedly said: "It's nothing, you continue to embroider." So saying, he went into the house.

Su Xi had originally made up her mind not to embroider a purse for Wei Feng, but somehow, once she thought like this, she would remember the scene where he stood in the rain. Who knew he was so stupid, standing in the rain and waiting for her for four hours...... By the time she came back to her senses, she was already sitting behind the warped desk, with a pen in her hand and beginning to draw patterns.

Su Xi glanced at the plum blossom bee butterfly pattern he had drawn, felt that there was nothing new, shook his head and put down the pen.

After a while, she picked it up again and drew a picture of the moon rabbit branches.

The moon rabbit is round and round, holding a branch and leaf with two front paws, looking delicate, smart and cute. Su Xi looked at it, and then nodded with satisfaction.

Su Xi told herself that she just drew a picture to practice her hands, and she didn't have to embroider a purse for Wei Feng. She pressed the painting with a paperweight on the table, and after taking a shower, she filled in the color, and felt that the image of the rabbit was much more vivid.

*

Su Xi's female celebrity is not very good, although it is not difficult to embroider a purse, but it is enough for her.

In the past few days, she often asked Tingli for embroidery work, and Tingli asked curiously: "Doesn't the girl like to be a female celebrity?" ”

Su Xi hesitated: "Mr. Yao has assigned a homework and asked us to come back and embroider purses." ”

Mr. Yao is a female teacher who teaches embroidery classes in clan studies.

After listening to Li, not only did he not doubt it, but he was also very enthusiastic and carefully began to explain to Su Xi how to embroider the purse. Tingli is the best embroidery among the four big girls, her hometown is from Wuxian County, Suzhou, where people have a good embroiderer, and the things embroidered under the hands are delicate and exquisite, which is amazing.

Su Xi humbly followed the listening bird to learn, and after three or five days, the moon rabbit branch on the purse had been embroidered for more than half of it.

Su Xi took a closer look and looked quite presentable.

A few days later, the General's Mansion received an invitation.

This invitation was not from anyone else, but from the palace.

Empress Liu held a chrysanthemum banquet and invited the ladies of the General's Mansion to enter the palace early next month to admire the chrysanthemums, and the Yin, Guo and Yu families were all invited.

The Yin family originally didn't plan to take Su Xi with her, after all, the girl's face was too ostentatious, and it might not be a good thing to be favored by the people in the palace. It's just that I didn't expect that Su Xi's name was specially written on the invitation.
