"Agarwood, if you don't want to serve by His Royal Highness's side, then get back for me, don't shout everywhere."

"The second shopkeeper, Agarwood knows that it is wrong, please open the net, Agarwood will never dare to do it in the future."

"Hmph."

Wenge and Agarwood are people who have been around Xie Jing for a long time, and they have been serving Xie Jing since he was a child. But if you want to talk about who has been with Xie Jing the longest and longest; For Xie Jing to have a business name like Jiang Chunjin that is well-known in the whole world, who is the biggest hero, then you don't have to think about it, it is naturally Jiang Chunjin's current wine and wealth The three big shopkeepers.

Xie Jing can be in the gap between Xie Yan and Xie Wen, who are in charge of the harem like Concubine De and Concubine Xian, from the beginning of the struggle to the current strategy, it can be said that it is all the support of the three major shopkeepers of wine and wealth who will never abandon them all the way, otherwise I am afraid that Xie Jing would have returned to the world as early as when he was just an infant and could only cry loudly.

Therefore, in Xie Jing's team, the positions of the three major shopkeepers of wine and wealth are unmatched and unshakeable. Even if it is agarwood, it is no exception, not to mention that she was originally selected by Cai Er's shopkeeper and sent to Xie Jing to protect his safety, so Agarwood is the most afraid of Cai Er's shopkeeper except for Xie Jing.

"By the way, Wenge, I asked you to ask His Highness about it, what did His Highness say?"

Glancing coldly at the agarwood, the shopkeeper turned to look at Wenge, who was standing silently and upright on the side.

"In response to your words, His Highness said no." Wen Ge replied with a respectful voice.

"Well, got it. Go down, all of you. It's not that I didn't expect Xie Jing to have this answer, but I still have to ask what I should ask, but since Xie Jing has clearly instructed. That's easy.

"Yes." And the words of the shopkeeper of Cai Er fell, and Wen Ge and Agarwood hurriedly saluted and retired, especially Agarwood, which ran fast this time.

"My heart is big."

And the shopkeeper of Cai Er looked at the figures of Wen Ge and Agarwood leaving, but after standing alone for a while, he suddenly muttered in his mouth. But it was also when the figures of Wenge and Agarwood were just completely out of sight, in the direction when the shopkeeper of Cai Er came before. Another tall and handsome figure slowly appeared, walked through the darkness, and came to a place where the exquisite camellia bead lamps were shining brightly. And these bright lights also shine a clear picture of the equally handsome face of the person who came - the three shopkeepers.

"It's not surprising, no matter who else you are, you will be by Your Highness's side for a long time. It's all about agarwood. "The three shopkeepers are in this cold day. Holding a vassal feather fan, he said fan-fan.

"But as long as she has these thoughts that she shouldn't have, she will definitely do some superfluous things." The second shopkeeper is different from the third shopkeeper who is not worried, he said with some concern.

"Second brother, what do you care about her, I think it's okay, the more Agarwood has such thoughts, the more nervous he will be about His Highness's safety. will also do his best to protect His Highness, as for whether others will be affected by some superfluous things done by Agarwood. That's not what we should be thinking about. The third shopkeeper smiled indifferently.

"Alas...... I also know what you said, otherwise I wouldn't have allowed Agarwood to continue to serve by His Highness's side. It's just the trouble in the Ronghua Palace, and the marriage of our Royal Highness is now a certainty, which is really a failure. The second shopkeeper sighed.

And the three shopkeepers were rarely silent this time, and the feather fans in their hands were no longer one by one, the cold wind was howling outside the window, and the window was as warm as spring, but it was also silent.

……

……

Time is like a river rushing endlessly, no matter how joys and sorrows the world is, it has never stopped once, and at the end of winter, it is also following the footsteps of the great river of time, and it will come to the earth in a blink of an eye, sending away the cold midwinter.

When it comes to the end of winter, there are still many festivals and things that people can immediately remember, but for Xu Youshan and them, among the many things they can think of, of course, the birthday of the old princess of Beiding is the most important. Therefore, even during this period of time, Pei's family, who was a little sluggish, has been fighting hard since two days ago and began to prepare for the birthday gift of the old princess of Beiding.

"Mother's spirit is finally better."

At the end of the day, Sheng Anxuan, in the open house of the women's school, after Wen Ruyi announced the end of school and helped Jiaoxi to leave, Xu Youshan and the three of them chatted casually while the maids and mothers-in-law were packing up their things.

"Yes, Aunt Cousin's spirit is finally better, otherwise I would be about to die of guilt." Xu Mingwen frowned.

"Okay, what are you guilty of, this is all a sin created by others, what are you doing with your body." Xu Yourong reprimanded.

"Yes." And Xu Youshan also acted as if it was not her own business, and followed Xu Yourong to make a face at Xu Mingwen, which made Xu Mingwen laugh. After laughing, Xu Mingwen suddenly stepped forward and gently hugged Xu Youshan without speaking.

“……”

Xu Youshan was stunned for a moment, but her eyes began to droop slowly, and she also hugged Xu Ming's wife back, feeling a little warm in her heart. And the people in the open room, looking at this scene, subconsciously did not make a sound, so that the sound in the house gradually quieted down.

"What are you two doing here, deliberately telling me that you have a deep sisterhood, right, to stimulate me."

But some people are so different, such a warm atmosphere, as soon as she opened her mouth, she was broken up to pieces, and there was no scum left, so that Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen, as well as the people around them who were sighing, were forced to be pulled out by Xu Yourong's words to bring out such warm and sentimental emotions, and looked at her with tears and laughter, their eldest lady.

"Eldest sister, can you be more white-eyed?" Xu Youshan said with a smile.

"Sister Rong, can you lose your eyesight?" Xu Mingwen said disgustedly.

The white eyes and lack of eyesight really have nothing to do with Xu Yourong, but she just doesn't want to feel these sad emotions anymore, so Xu Yourong interrupted Xu Youshan and Xu Ming. But even so, after being disliked by Xu Youshan and the others one after another at this time, Xu Yourong still squinted dangerously and said, "What, you guys look at me like this?" ”

Cluck...... Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen heard something different.

"Nope. No, no, we just said characters like you, big sister. Eyesight is good, it's very good, there will never be a time for white eyes. Xu Youshan was the first to flatter.

"That's it, that is, in our eyes, Sister Rong, you are a woman who combines thousands of advantages, and you have no shortcomings at all." Xu Mingwen said flatteringly for the second time.

"Really?" But Xu Yourong has slowly approached Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen.

"Of course." And Xu Youshan and Xu Mingwen are also slowly retreating.

"Then what are you running for, come back to me."

"Only~~No~~To ~~"

That's it. Xu Youshan and the three of them went back to Weizhou Courtyard again, but before that, of course, they still had to go to Qinhuatang to greet Mrs. Qi first. Then go to the Autumn Pavilion to greet Pei's before returning to Weizhou Courtyard. And this also made Xu Youshan particularly emotional, since her marriage with Xie Jing was confirmed, Mrs. Qi actually asked her to go to Qinhuatang one day to ask for peace. Since then. Even tomorrow, I will go to Qinhuatang with Xu Yourong to settle the province in the morning and dusk.

And if this happened before, Xu Youshan might be happier, but if it was now, Xu Youshan would be more emotional.

But no matter what, from then on, Xu Youshan followed Xu Yourong and went to Qinhuatang on time every day to say goodbye to Mrs. Qi.

Xufu. Weizhou-in.

In the backyard of the Zhengyan Pavilion, there are several large apricot trees. Every winter and spring, they will bloom full of apricot blossoms, red and white, white as snow, but also as rouge ten thousand points, beautiful and delicate, occupy the spring breeze. And since the past two years, since Xu Yourong witnessed the rouge on the branch in the Zhengyan Pavilion, and the white under the branch seems to be crystal clear, Xu Yourong has also transplanted a few apricot trees in the backyard of Weizhou Courtyard, and now, it has bloomed full of apricot blossoms.

At this time, in the backyard of Weizhou Courtyard, in a pavilion built by a thin stream, in today's winter weather, Xu Youshan and the three asked Chu Dai and them to bring some pastries and tea to this pavilion, and the three of them sat and admired the plum blossoms and apricot blossoms that bloomed very well in this courtyard.

"But then again, are you all ready for the congratulatory gift to your ancestors?" Xu Mingwen put down the teacup of the begonia flower and asked Xu Yourong and Xu Youshan.

"Ready, I took a fancy to a statue of Guanyin carved from mutton fat white jade, although the material is only one kind of mutton fat white jade, but the quality of this jade is extremely pure, and it is from the hands of the master craftsman, so it is the most suitable for the ancestors of the Buddha; As for Sister Shan'er, she chose a birthday speech made by Mr. Yi An in his early years, and the weight of this gift is also enough, but how did you prepare? Xu Yourong said.

"The one I chose is similar to Sister Rong, they are all the same Guanyin statues, but they are not made of mutton fat white jade, but made of Qingyun water jade." Xu Mingwen replied.

"Qingyun Shui Jade, this is a rare thing, then you have prepared this gift with your heart." Xu Yourong said with a smile.

"How can I have the ability to find such a rare thing as Qingyun Water Jade, it's not that my father asked my uncle to get it." Xu Mingwen said honestly.

"That's not bad, I've only seen it once at my aunt's." Qingyun water jade is indeed very rare, and there are only two or three pieces in the Xu family, so when Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen talked about it, even Xu Youshan, who had been only caring about it just now, now opened her mouth.

"It's good, but I always feel that something is missing, after all, these things are not what we get, although the intentions are the same, but the sincerity is different." Xu Mingwen said.

These birthday gifts given by Xu Youshan and the three of them to the old princess of Beiding are all precious and famous products, but in the final analysis, these famous products are also deliberately found by the Pei family for Xu Youshan and the three of them, and then after screening, let Xu Youshan and them choose their favorite ones to give to the old princess. Strictly speaking, from beginning to end, Xu Youshan and the three of them really didn't make any efforts.

"Ming's wife is right, these congratulatory gifts to the ancestors, we haven't made any efforts, although the intentions are the same, but the sincerity is different." Xu Yourong groaned.

"Then in that case, why don't we make some embroidery for our ancestors in person?" Xu Youshan said with a flash of inspiration.

Like the Qi family of the king of Beiding and the Xu family of Jiangzuo, there are several embroiderers in the house who can be called excellent embroiderers, and Xu Youshan and they have certainly not embroidered anything in person. Except for the hands that were used when I was learning to work as a female worker, I didn't use anything like needlework at all in normal times, so in the matter of the congratulatory gift of the old princess of Beiding. But no one thought of embroidering something by hand to give it to the old princess instead of a congratulatory gift.

But at this time, Xu Youshan mentioned this, Xu Yourong and Xu Mingwen also had a flash of inspiration, clapped their hands and smiled: "Yes, why didn't we think of this." ”

The embroidery they embroidered by themselves can not only be used as a congratulatory gift to the old princess, but also to express their hearts. It couldn't be more suitable.

"But what do we embroider?" After everyone was happy for a while, Xu Youshan remembered a difficult question again.

"Why don't we embroider a screen together?" Xu Yourong said with great interest.

"Uh...... Not so good. But Xu Youshan directly poured a basin of cold water on Xu Yourong. Eldest sister, since we want to give it to our ancestors, of course we hope that her old people can use it, but if we really want to send a screen to our ancestors. I hope that her old man can use it. Then we have to start preparing this screen more than a year ago. ”

Although Xu Youshan and the three of them hardly do needlework and other things, when it comes to female embroidery, Pei's family specially invited the best embroiderers in Xu's mansion to teach them personally. Therefore, if they really started preparing more than a year ago, the screen embroidered by Xu Youshan and the three of them would be able to be used by the old princess of Beiding. What's more, this is still embroidered by them themselves, and this heart is the most priceless.

"Then what do you two say to embroider?"

Xu Yourong was also too happy just now. Now that she thinks about it, of course she also knows that if she embroiders the screen, there will never be enough time.

"Why don't we make three small things each, like shoes, forehead wipes, sachets, and so on." Xu Mingwen proposed.

"It's just time-consuming, it's practical." Xu Youshan agreed.

"Sister Rong, look at it." Xu Mingwen asked Xu Yourong.

"Okay, let's do that." Xu Yourong also said in agreement.

After Xu Youshan and the three of them agreed, they also began to prepare non-stop, among which Xu Yourong made shoes, Xu Mingwen made sachets, and Xu Youshan made foreheads.

*****

*****

In the late winter night, a trace of warmth has broken free from the cold, so that people can no longer feel so much cold, but even so, in the Zhengyan Pavilion, Xu Youshan still lives in the warm pavilion on the first floor covered with earth dragons.

"Miss, it's already deep, you better rest." Yue Dai put a Qinglian glass lamp near Xu Youshan again, for fear that when she was doing needlework, the light would not be bright enough and hurt her eyes.

"yes, okay." And Xu Youshan also replied casually to Yuedai.

"Miss." Yue Dai looked at her own lady who had gathered all her spirits on the forehead that was embroidered in her hand, and called her again unhappily.

"yes, okay." And Xu Youshan once again told Yue Dai with her actions that she was completely answering in passing.

So Yue Dai couldn't wait for a while, and when she found that Xu Youshan had no intention of stopping, she decisively went out of the warm pavilion, but after a while, another person came in again, and this person didn't say a word and directly took away the wipe on Xu Youshan's hand, and when Xu Youshan raised her head in a daze, and found that this person was Wu Lin's, she immediately said: "I'm ready to sleep, I don't believe you asked Yuedai, Yuedai, are you right......

Xu Youshan hurriedly wanted to find Yue Dai to help her cover, but when she looked up, she found that Yue Dai was standing behind Wu Lin's family, and Xu Youshan's words were suddenly stuck.

"Miss, it's time now." Wu Lin said softly.

"Uh, I see, I'll go to sleep right away." Xu Youshan also replied lightly and immediately.

Alas, I really don't know when Mother Wu was so strong, it's really not cute at all. Xu Youshan muttered and held Wu Lin's hand, went to the ear room to freshen up and bathe, and when her hair was dry, Xu Youshan went to bed immediately, and slept well until dawn...... Uh, no, the sky was still foggy, and it couldn't be considered dawn.

But the Zheng Yan Pavilion still started when Xu Youshan woke up, and it became lively, and the maids and women also moved and began to wait for Xu Youshan to get up.

"Miss."

And the one waiting in the warm pavilion today was actually Wu Lin's family, when Xu Youshan saw her. I couldn't help but ask strangely, "Mother Wu, since I got a prescription from Seventh Uncle Ancestor, haven't you slept well recently?" Why did you wake up so early today and start to sleep badly again? ”

"Replying to your words, the old slave is fine, but just now my family handed over a message, and the old slave thought that this was not something that could be delayed, so he hurried over." Wu Lin said respectfully.

Now it's just a midday, and Uncle Wu hurriedly came to deliver the news. What could it be?

"Say." And Xu Youshan also sat up at this time, and let Wu Lin talk carefully.

"Miss Qiyu, here's the thing. Originally, my family went out of the house to see Wu Chou last night, so I only came back today according to the plan, but last night I sent someone to the inn to deliver a word, asking you to go to Jiangchun this morning. My family and Wu Chou listened to it. Knowing is something you can't put off. He hurriedly went back to the house, but it was too late, and when he returned to the house, the second gate was already locked, and he didn't dare to make a noise, so he had to wait for the second door to open the door before the end of the hour this morning, and hurriedly shirked that there was an urgent matter in his hometown, and he wanted to be busy with the old slave to talk about the reason. I came early to tell the old slave about it. Wu Lin said.

"He sent someone to the inn to deliver a message, asking me to go to Jiang Chunjin this morning?"

Xu Youshan and Xie Jing. Since saying goodbye in the Ronghua Palace, they haven't seen each other again, although Xu Youshan doesn't know what Xie Jing's thoughts are, but for Xu Youshan herself, first, she doesn't want to see him yet; the second is that she doesn't know what kind of reaction she should use to face him after seeing him; The third is ...... She really didn't want to see him, at least for now, she didn't want to see him at all.

"Miss Hui's words, yes."

But then again, it is impossible for Xu Youshan to never see Xie Jing, and the time she needs to calm down is far from enough in the spring of the next year. So Xu Youshan took a deep breath now and said, "I know, Mother Wu, then you start preparing now, I'll go to a grandmother and aunt to say goodbye in a while, and then we'll go to Jiang Chunjin." ”

"Yes." Wu Lin bowed and replied.

And Xu Youshan stayed for a while while leaning on the rose crystal and pastel green jade cloud bed, and then got up to freshen up, and changed into a gold-embroidered honeysuckle flower entwined branch jacket, and a sprinkled silk dark flower flow-lined satin pleated skirt embroidered with honeysuckle flowers, and then put on a purple phoenix tail silk cloak inlaid with silver feathers outside, Xu Youshan didn't even eat breakfast, so she took Chu Dai's hand and went out.

Not far away, outside Weizhou Courtyard, not long after Xu Youshan left the Zhengyan Pavilion, Xu Yourong also appeared, but when Xu Youshan didn't approach her, she was already a little surprised, so after Xu Youshan stood in front of Xu Yourong, Xu Yourong asked in surprise: "Youshan, where are you going today?" ”

Xu Youshan was also surprised when she heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Sister, how do you know?" ”

Xu Yourong wrinkled her delicate and fair nose and said: "As far as your usual over-the-top taste, but today you are dressed like this, obviously you have deliberately dressed up, then you are not going out, what else can you do." ”

"Uh......" Xu Youshan was speechless for a while, what is the "usual over-the-top taste", does she know how to dress up?

"Tell me, where are you going in a moment?" But what Xu Yourong said was the truth, so he didn't care about someone's little face that was already dark, and continued to ask.

"Today's Pingxin study has just arrived with a batch of new books, they have already sent someone to inform me, but haven't we all been busy embroidering the birthday gift to the ancestors recently, so we have always forgotten to take a look, while today Sheng Anxuan is resting, I just want to take a day off, so I am going to go to the Pingxin study after a while to ask my grandmother and aunt to say goodbye, eldest sister, do you want to go with me?" Xu Youshan said the reason she had thought of a long time ago.

"No, my shoes haven't been embroidered yet, and I need to continue to fight hard, so you can go to the peaceful study by yourself in a while." Xu Yourong quickly pushed away.

And Xu Youshan also held back a smile and said, "Okay then." ”

Pingxin study is one of the thousands of study rooms in the god capital, an ordinary and special study, it is said to be ordinary, because it is more famous and business than it, and there are still many in this god capital; It can be said that it is special, but it is also because it is one of the few studies on Xiling Road, one of the four main roads of the Shendu, and one of the few studies on Xiling Road.
