Chapter 094: Rising Waves (2)
Cao Xue said: "Really? Xiaoyu's female red is really not as good as me? In Cao Xue's opinion, Li Siyu is better than her in everything.
Cao An said: "Just look at the rain word on her handkerchief to know that what I said is true." β
The people of the Great Jin Dynasty were accustomed to embroidering their own words on their handkerchiefs, and Li Siyu saw that everyone had words on their handkerchiefs, so he decided to follow the customs of the locals and embroidered a word in his name on his handkerchief. It's just that what people embroider is a fine product, and the defective products she embroiders.
Li Siyu frowned, it turned out that he knew that he was not good at being a female red after looking at his handkerchief. In fact, she can embroider a rain character with needle and thread, which is already very good, you must know that she has never even taken a needle and thread in modern times.
Cao Xue was very interested in Li Siyu's handkerchief, she said: "Lend me your handkerchief and I'll take a look, I want to see if it's really as the eldest brother said." β
Li Siyu knew that she couldn't hold her handkerchief, so she said, "What's so good?" Do not borrow. β
Cao Xue reached out and snatched the handkerchief from Li Siyu's waist, which was very happy.
"What are you embroidering?" She had never seen someone embroider the words on a handkerchief so ugly.
"It's all said that there's nothing to see, you still watch!" Li Siyu snatched back the handkerchief.
Cao Xue didn't give up, "How can you embroider the veil so ugly?" A good handkerchief has been ruined by you like this. β
Li Siyu said: "What if the embroidery is ugly? It's better than not being able to embroider! You ask the eldest prince if he can embroider? β
Cao Xue said: "Big brother is different, he is a man. How can a man be popular with a woman? β
Li Siyu said: "Who stipulates that men can't be women's red?" Who stipulates that women must be popular? β
Cao Xue was a little dazed, "Hasn't it been like this since ancient times?" β
Li Siyu said: "So there are no regulations? So what does it matter if my female popularity is not good? β
Cao Xue felt that her ideology had been impacted. She has always felt that women should be popular. But listening to Li Siyu, it seems that no one has stipulated that a woman must know this.
Cao An said: "It doesn't matter. β
Cao Xue said meaningfully: "Since the eldest brother said it doesn't matter, then it's okay!" β
Li Siyu understood the meaning of Cao Xue's words, and she smiled sweetly at Cao An.
Cao Anxin understood that Li Siyu read medical books day and night in order to find a way to cure his disease. He was very touched in his heart. It's just that he has expectations for curing his illness, but he doesn't have much hope. Because Fang Yu said that his illness could not be cured.
He was convinced of Fang Yu's words. Because Fang Yu had never lied to him.
Cao Xue looked at Li Siyu's inscription and said, "If only the words you embroidered were as beautiful as the words you wrote." β
Li Siyu said: "No one is perfect, and it is already very good that I can write well." Don't ask too much of me. β
Cao An said: "I have been painting for a long time, and I can't catch up with the poems you came up with in a moment. Whether you look at it carefully or closely, the most striking thing about the whole painting is your words and your verses. β
Li Siyu looked at it, it seemed like this. She was momentarily embarrassed. She wasn't going to be in the limelight. You can only blame her for writing too well.
Cao An suddenly thought of the couplet of Tianxiang Pavilion, although he had not personally seen the couplet that was rumored to be written by his second sister, but he had heard it. He said, "Do you have the tide of the sea, the tide of the tide, the tide of the tide?" β
Li Siyu was slightly stunned. Cao An asked this question because she had never suspected that she had written this couplet.
Cao An said: "Even if Xiuling is talented, she shouldn't be able to think of such a subtle Shanglian, after reading your inscription today, I think her Shanglian must be what you sued her!" β
It turned out that Cao An only suspected that she sued Cao Xiuling for Shanglian, not that she was the one who wrote this Shanglian that day.
Cao Xue suddenly realized, "I knew that if she could become the number one talented woman in Luoyang, she must have your help behind her." β
From the moment she heard that Cao Xiuling got the title of the first talented woman in Luoyang, she didn't believe that she had real talent and real learning. It turned out that the Shanglian who won her the title of the first talented woman in Luoyang was Li Siyu who told her. Presumably, those literati wrote letters to her father at the beginning, forcing her father to withdraw from Cao Xiuling's relationship with Jiang Ke, and she had nothing to do with it.
She's really capable! Cao Xue admired Li Siyu even more.
Li Siyu smiled embarrassedly, "Since you guessed, I won't deny it." I just hope you don't spread the word about it. As you know, I'm a very low-key person. β
Where is she low-key, she clearly wants to maintain Cao Xiuling.
Cao An said: "I know that you are low-key, don't worry, we won't tell you about it." Right, Cher? β
Cao Xue immediately said: "I promise not to say it." Since the upper link was sued by you to sΓΉ Xiuling, do you have a lower link? β
Li Siyu said: "Naturally. I write to you. β
She picked up the pen and ink and wrote "The clouds are long, long, long, and long." Cao An silently recited it in his heart several times, and finally finally understood it. He said: "The clouds are long, they often rise, they always grow and they often disappear. β
It turns out that this is the next link, and it is absolutely absolute.
Cao An said: "You are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and even far surpass me." I don't think an average family can raise a woman as good as you. Presumably your family background is not bad! β
Li Siyu has a weak heart. "Can you not ask me about my family history?"
In modern times, her family is also a well-off family, and her family background is still passable. In the Great Jin Dynasty, she was the daughter of the prince of Yipin County, and she was even more noble than Cao An. On the whole, her family background is indeed not bad.
Cao Xue said: "I heard that your mother is a declining nobleman, and your father is not a good person. He sold you to a rich man as a concubine in order to pay off his gambling debts, and you escaped from marriage. Is this true? β
Cao An looked at Li Siyu seriously, as if he also wanted to know the answer.
Li Siyu didn't want to deceive Cao An, she said: "I don't want to say anything about my life experience. Because even if I did, it would be a lie. I don't want to lie to you. So I hope you don't ask. All you have to do is know that I have no ill will towards you. β
It turns out that those are fake. Cao Xue was a little surprised. She suddenly became curious about her identity. I was curious about the reason why she came to the Hou Mansion.
Since she said her identity can't be asked. Then ask her why she came to the head office of the Hou Mansion!
"Then why did you come to the Hou Mansion?"
Li Siyu said: "Actually, it is a pure coincidence that I will come to the Hou Mansion. I was penniless, desperate and just looking for a place to live. Fortunately, I met the second lady, who let me stay in the Hou Mansion and gave me a place to live. β
Cao Xue suddenly understood why Li Siyu defended Cao Xiuling so much. It turned out that she took her in when she was in the most difficult time. (To be continued.) )
