Chapter 055: Fueling the Flames

Miao Meng didn't see Su Xue's nervousness, and was still chattering and muttering: "The second wife treats people well, even if she finds out, she will only punish them with a small punishment, so she lets them talk more and more outrageous, and she is really angry!" ”

Su Xue frowned silently.

Kindness is not the same as indulgence. If the second wife was really a housekeeper, she would not let such rumors fly all over the sky.

Pamper......

Su Xuemao suddenly opened, how can the second wife be conniving? It's clearly fueling the fire!

If such rumors are true, and she curries favor with the old lady just to get a more dowry, then the second wife is naturally the most unhappy.

The second wife was in a hurry, so she released rumors to slander her.

Su Xue's fingers gently rubbed the good texture of the black nanmu, and finally smiled lightly.

Miao Meng was still indignant, thought for a while, and then said: "Miss, you might as well go to the old lady to complain, the old lady may come forward to make decisions for you." ”

Su Xue ignored Miaomeng, but turned to Qianrou and ordered: "Qianrou, my mother just said that she would send someone to send a stack of pastel notes over a while, and you should pay attention to get it when the time comes." ”

After that, he looked at Miaomeng again, frowned, and said: "You don't have to get involved in these things, if I also get angry with it, I will let those who tell right and wrong catch the handle." My mother was not in good health and had just coughed again. I'm a girl who is about to leave the cabinet, and serving my mother and grandmother with all my heart is the right thing to do. ”

Miaomeng wanted to say something, but in the end she sighed: "Miss, can you still be so relieved......"

Su Xue frowned, not because she was born with a good temper, but because she couldn't be tempered by her current situation.

She had no choice but to retreat. I can only endure it.

The time for the second lady to enter Beijing and see Chen Gongzi is approaching, and her marriage with the Shen family is also approaching day by day. If you want to survive well. It is necessary to successfully withdraw from this marriage.

Compared with life, what is this little grievance?

Qin's mother only came over the next day. At that time, Su Xue had just instructed Miaomeng to go to the pharmacy to get some fritillary.

Not long after Miaomeng went out, Qianrou led Qin's mother in.

Su Xue raised her eyes and saw that Mother Qin was holding a stack of pastel notes in her hand, and she was handing it over to Qianrou with a smile.

Su Xue hurriedly greeted her and asked, "Mother had a cough yesterday, but now she is better?" “

Mother Qin saw that Su Xue was so attentive to the second wife, so she responded with a smile: "It's better, it's better." ”

Su Xue nodded reassuringly, and suddenly her face was happy, and she said, "I just told the maid to go and fetch some fritillary." I want to boil a cup of pear fritillary soup for my mother, but now at this hour, my mother is afraid that she is on a lunch break, so I am inconvenient to bother, but fortunately, Qin's mother came over and happened to bring it with me. ”

As he spoke, he instructed Qianrou to urge Miaomeng.

Mother Qin smiled and nodded kindly: "This pear fritillary soup moistens the lungs and relieves dryness, and it is the best cough for the second wife." The third lady has a heart. ”

Su Xue smiled, and took advantage of this time to spread out the pastel paper on the desk.

Qin's mother knew that Su Xue had never liked to write, and she wanted to be ugly. Looking into the house, the maid had already been summoned, so she stepped forward with a smile and said, "I heard that the third lady also wants to copy the scriptures?" ”

Su Xue raised her eyes and glanced at Qin's mother, her face full of anticipation. But it's the kind of expectation that implies mockery.

Su Xue smiled crampedly: "Mother said that copying scriptures can get close to the Dharma and cultivate compassion for a long time. The four younger sisters are all copying, and I can't be idle. ”

Mother Qin's eyes rolled. Smiled a little awkwardly and nodded. But in her heart, she was secretly scolding, and the fourth lady wanted to copy the scriptures. Wasn't it hurt by you, Third Miss?

Mother Qin was suddenly angry in her heart, and wanted to take the opportunity to see Su Xue's jokes. So he stepped forward diligently and picked up the ink strip and grinded it, and said: "The old slave helped the fourth lady grind the ink before, and the third lady wants to copy it, and the old slave can't watch it." ”

She wanted to see how this third lady, who had never practiced calligraphy, could draw charms on this fine pastel paper.

Su Xue laid out the notepaper, cleaned her hands with a silk silk, dipped her pen in ink, and began to write with a pleasant expression.

This refined paper is dedicated to copying the Heart Sutra, and it is specially made into the Heart Sutra grid, just follow the Heart Sutra grid to copy down.

The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra is a must-practice Heart Sutra for Xiaokai to practice the pen, and she has already memorized it well. Even if you are familiar enough to roughly count the grids, you can know where to start to look beautiful, and the layout is symmetrical, so that it will not be top-heavy.

Qin's mother was still waiting to see the joke, but Su Xue was unhurried with her pen, the font was small and timeless, dense and orderly, and her heart was calm, and the whole room was quiet and peaceful.

Qin's mother was stunned for a while, and she accompanied Miss Four to practice calligraphy in the past, Miss Four was short-tempered, and even dropped the pen and tore the paper when she didn't write well.

The third lady's temperament is even more rude, and she may have smashed the inkstone with it.

But in the end, the third lady was so peaceful and peaceful, even Qin's mother fell into a trance, and she suddenly didn't realize whether she was grinding ink.

It wasn't until Qianrou opened the curtain and walked in that Qin's mother suddenly came back to her senses.

Looking down, I was shocked, where was she grinding ink? It's just tinkering in the inkstone, and my fingers are covered with thick ink at some point.

She panicked and quickly put down the ink strip and hid her hand behind her back.

"Boiling pear fritillary soup should be simmered over low heat, so it will take some time, Mother Qin might as well go back first, and then send it over when the small one is boiled." Qianrou explained.

When Mother Qin heard this, she nodded hurriedly, and without waiting for Su Xue to say anything more, she hurriedly retreated.

Su Xuehu glanced at Qin's mother suspiciously, didn't say anything, and continued to write.

"Hey, why is this ink strip drowning in ink?" Qianrou let out a low snort, and hurriedly took out the ink strip carefully with a silk silk, and looked at Su Xue in surprise while wiping it carefully.

Su Xue smiled deeply, and still didn't stop writing, but said: "The fourth lady has to copy the scriptures five hundred times, and Mother Qin is probably tired from grinding the ink, so she didn't pay attention." ”

Qianrou frowned and thought for a while, nodded and didn't say anything more, wiped the ink off the edge of the ink strip, and began to grind the ink carefully.

"I haven't asked you to study ink before, but you're so proficient?" Su Xue asked lightly as she wrote. He didn't lift his head.

It is true that Qianrou did not study ink for her, because she knew. This host had never practiced writing before.

Qianrou blushed a little when asked, and explained, "The previous master of the little one also likes to write. At that time, the small day was waiting to polish the ink, so it was skilled. Later, she was bought to serve the young lady in the Jiang Mansion, but she was idle. ”

Su Xue continued to write calmly, without replying.

Qianrou peeked at Su Xue's words, paused, and couldn't help but say, "I thought that Miss didn't like to write, but I didn't expect it to be so good." ”

Su Xue raised her head, looked at Qianrou in surprise, and said with a light smile: "Who said that?" I've practiced it clearly. "Brush up the ink as he spoke." It's just that at that time, you were still working on ink for other people. ”

Qianrou was stunned.

Su Xue paused, stared at Qianrou with shining eyes, and said slowly: "You are the maid in my room, you said that you have helped others study ink, I believe it." I said I practiced, but you still can't believe me? ”

Qianrou's face turned pale, and she quickly pondered the meaning of Su Xue's words in her heart.

Su Xue's eyebrows twisted, and she asked in a deep voice: "Huh?" ”

Qianrou was frightened, and nodded again and again: "Miss has practiced." Miss has practiced, but Miss doesn't like to show off, so no one in the house knows about it......"

Su Xue smiled and nodded, and continued to write: "I copied the Heart Sutra for my grandmother and mother. Naturally, I don't dare to slack off. For this Heart Sutra, I also wasted a lot of paper, and maybe I even got some from Mother Qin. ”

"Miss, if you need it. The younger one went to ask Qin's mother to get it, and the second wife also knew about the young lady's copying of scriptures. Mother Qin won't refuse to give. After Qianrou finished speaking hurriedly, she continued to grind.

Although Qianrou was also suspicious in her heart. But she didn't dare to ask anything, and she didn't want to ask. What the master says, it is what it is, and the master has his own master's truth.

She would rather just blindly obey than know a single penny. Because she knows very well, and the more she knows, it will lead to disaster.

Su Xue buried her head in quietly copying the scriptures, a slight smile overflowed at the corner of her mouth, I have to say that Qianrou is indeed a calm and intelligent maid with a calm personality.

Because she was skilled, Su Xue copied it very smoothly, and she finished it here, and Miao Meng came over with the cup of Sydney fritillary soup.

Qianrou was about to send it to Qin's mother while it was hot, but was stopped by Su Xue.

Su Xue stepped forward to lift the lid, and the heat overflowed with the fresh fragrance of pears.

"I heard that it was boiled for the second wife, and the pharmacy guy also specially explained the heat, which is absolutely moist and delicious, and the second wife must like it." Miao Meng said.

Su Xue picked up the spoon and gently scooped it up to take a closer look, and suddenly her expression changed, and she looked up at Miaomeng.

"Which guy gave you this fritillary?" Su Xue couldn't help but raise her tone.

Miaomeng looked dazed, not understanding the meaning of Su Xue's words, and only replied in a daze: "Yes...... It's Xiao Ding, who is in charge of the pharmacy in the house. ”

"Xiao Ding......" Su Xue pondered for a while, "Then did he also prepare my medicine last time?" ”

Miaomeng was a little scared, but still nodded: "Yes, the medicine in the house has to go through Xiaoding's hands, miss, is there anything wrong?" ”

Su Xue looked at the cup again and shook her head: "There's nothing wrong with it." Mother Qin is still waiting, Miaomeng, you hurry up and send it over. ”

"Oh......" Miaomeng frowned and blinked, and went away with Sydney fritillary soup.

Su Xue sat back in the soft chair and looked at the heart meridian where the ink had not dried.

After a long time, she asked, "Qianrou, do you know who is close to Xiaoding in Su Ri?" ”

Qianrou pondered for a while and replied: "Because the old lady and the second wife have to take medicine all year round, there is a special pharmacy in the house, and Xiaoding is personally hired by the old lady to manage the pharmacy. The old lady was taken care of by Mother Hu and ran to the pharmacy, and it was Pearl who took medicine for the second wife, so Xiao Ding was most familiar with Mother Hu and Pearl. And Pearl and Xiao Ding are the same age, so the two are closer. ”

Su Xue closed her eyes: "Well, my mother still has to take care of herself these days, I have wonderful dreams waiting here, you can help me go to see my mother's condition more." ”

Qianrou nodded respectfully.

"Also, keep an eye out for pearls." Su Xue's voice suddenly sank.

"Huh? This ......"

Qianrou looked a little frightened, after all, Pearl was the maid in the second wife's room, if she was caught something, she might not be able to afford to be offended.

She wanted to say what she didn't want to say in her heart, but Su Xue was thinking about it and ignored her, Qianrou hesitated for a while, but she had to respond. (To be continued......)
