Chapter 43: Out of the House
Zhihua shook his head, snorted, and choked up: "Miss, what do you mean by this, why did you say that Zhixia's death was already expected by you, then why did you know that Zhixia would die, but you didn't save her?"
Su Yexi frowned slightly, sighed lightly and said: "Gu Qingwei is ruthless, she has been in the mansion for so many years, she has done so many things that hurt the heavens and reason, but she is safe and sound, a concubine in the middle of the family, no background, no connections, just a concubine of my father, but she can live a noble life like a master mother in the Prime Minister's Mansion, if so, how can she have the scenery she has today."
She has never been merciful in doing things, and she will not leave herself a little threat, Zhixia has done so many things for her, once it is useless, she is an outcast, just like Cuizhu, an outcast, and an outcast who has done so many things for her, so she will never let her go easily, if Zhixia is not dead, I will feel strange, although I have long known that this will be the case, I don't know how to save her, I can save her once, but I can't save her a second time.
Besides, I had been thinking about my love with her for many years and spared her life, but she was destined to have this fate, and I couldn't do anything about it. ”
"So, so Miss means that Zhixia didn't die by suicide, yes, it was Aunt Gu who killed her."
Su Yexi nodded, her finger bones curled up with whiteness, her eyes showed a hint of helplessness, and she muttered to herself: "Aunt Gu, it turned out that Aunt Gu killed her, Zhixia, Zhixia, no matter how bad she is, she is also a person, Aunt Gu, why did Aunt Gu harm her life at will for her own selfishness, Miss, is the life of our slave so low, Miss ......"
Saying that, Zhihua couldn't help crying, Su Yexi looked distressed, and comforted softly: "Silly girl, for me, you are not a slave, but my relatives, I have long regarded you and Mama Hua as relatives, what is lowly or not, how can everyone's birth be decided by themselves, everyone envies my identity as the prime minister's daughter, but they can only see my glamorous surface, how can they know the sourness behind me, if I can, I hope I am an ordinary person, At least you don't have to live a life of intrigue in this mansion. ”
Hearing this, Zhihua felt even more uncomfortable and choked up
"Miss, Zhihua is sorry for you, I just said that kind of thing to you, you must be very sad and sad, you blame the slave maid, you can beat the slave maid, the slave maid will never hurt the young lady's heart in the future."
Su Yexi smiled slightly, touched her head, and said softly: "Silly girl, I'm a little sad and sad, but how can I blame you."
"Miss......"
Zhihua snorted, broke into tears and laughed, Su Yexi looked at the xylophone, her heart was messy, the smile on her face faded away, she sighed, and said helplessly: "Originally, I saw that the weather was good today, and I played the piano, but now I don't have much heart to play, just Zhihua, you can go out with me."
"Well, okay, I haven't been out for a long time, I'm almost suffocated in this house, miss, then we have to take a good stroll outside."
Zhihua clapped his hands happily, and his tone was irrepressible joy.
Mama Hua was overjoyed and said, "It just so happens that the day after tomorrow is the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace, and Miss can choose a fabric outside and make a dress by the way, which is also excellent."
Su Yexi was stunned, Mama Hua didn't say anything, she forgot the Hundred Flowers Banquet in the palace, the Hundred Flowers Banquet is called Hundred Flowers, in fact, it means to choose concubines for the prince, and those famous sons and daughters of the family can also communicate with each other.
In this Hundred Flowers Banquet, the queen invited all the adults above the third grade in the court, and their families entered the palace to enjoy the strange flowers.
Fenglin City, the children of famous families, the family has a lot of daughters, although the Yiguo men and women are not very strict, but the woman is still in the boudoir, even if there is a person who agrees with each other, it is inconvenient to meet, just by the Hundred Flowers Banquet, the parents of both sides know each other, and they directly booked a family affair.
In the last life, in order to prevent her from entering the palace, Su Xinran deliberately entered the palace to go to the banquet instead of her, and shined with a phoenix in the flying dance, and she was reborn in a life, has turned things around, and changed the fate of not being able to enter the palace to go to the banquet, presumably Su Xinran will work hard, and will take action at the banquet, in this case, why not fulfill her, in the last life, since the Hundred Flowers Banquet, she is the bright moon in the sky out of reach, in this life, she will let her for the soil on the ground, everyone tramples!
"Miss, miss?"
"Ah, what's wrong?"
Su Yexi came back to her senses, and Mama Hua smiled helplessly: "Miss, what were you thinking just now, you were thinking so distractedly."
Su Yexi coughed dryly a few times, and said softly: "I was just thinking about what I should wear to the banquet when the time comes."
Zhihua smiled playfully and said: "Miss looks like the country is beautiful, the country is captivating, and she looks good in whatever she wears."
"You girl, you're going to tease me."
"Why, the slave is telling the truth."
"You girl, be careful that I hit you......"
At noon, the sun hangs high, and the wisps of sunlight fall on people but they are warm, neither cold nor hot, just right.
Su Yexi took Zhihua out of the house with him, on both sides of the street, there were many shops, and the cries of all kinds of hawkers were rising and falling, lively and noisy, and the entire Fenglin City was thriving, a prosperous and lively scene.
"Wow, Miss Street is so lively."
Zhihua looked around, his face full of joy.
"Walk by, don't miss it, alas, this girl will come and see my jewelry here."
A hawker on the side of the street was hee, and Zhihua glanced at it, and was instantly attracted to it.
"Wow, miss, come and take a look, the jewelry here is beautiful."
Su Yexi walked in front of the vendor, there were all kinds of jewelry hairpins on them, the Langhua was dazzling, the hawker saw Su Yexi, smiled and introduced: "This girl, the silver hairpin and hairpin I have here are finely made and have a good appearance, why don't you buy one?"
The street was crowded with people, and he noticed Su Yexi at a glance, seeing that she was dressed extraordinarily and her appearance was charming, it was really difficult to be buried, so he attracted them over.
Su Yexi smiled slightly, those beautiful eyes looked carefully at all the jewelry hairpins, her eyes lit up, and she picked up a plain silver hairpin, which was engraved with two butterflies, lifelike, she touched it lightly with her hands, it felt very good, and the workmanship was fine, although it was not as good as those in her jewelry box, but it was superior compared to others.
"This girl has a really good eye, this silver hairpin is the best one I have here, it took seven days and seven nights to make it by craftsmen, if Miss likes it, why don't you buy it?"
The peddler looked at her with a smile, he solicited the right person, for a long time, I don't know how many people don't buy it in front of his stall, either it's too expensive, or it doesn't look good, how can there be this girl, I really like it at a glance.
"How much?"
The peddler rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "This girl, you also know that it is not easy for me to do small business, and this silver hairpin is the best one I have here, selling for one or two silver."
"What, one or two? You are robbing, but it is just a silver hairpin, the hairpin in my lady's house is either gold, or silver, all of them are better than this, I don't know how many times, why are you selling it so expensive? ”
Zhihua pinched his waist and resisted his dissatisfaction.
When the peddler heard this, he was immediately not happy, and said: "This girl, I see that your young lady has a good eye, and I can see that she likes this silver hairpin very much, so I sold it cheaply, and you know that others want to buy it for two taels of silver!"
"Alas, what are you talking about, what is it called seeing that my young lady likes to sell cheaply, the fact is that you are not worth so much money at all, okay, do you know who my young lady is?
She is the daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, what do you want, my young lady's jewelry has always been formulated by Qianyu Pavilion, today you can see your silver hairpin here that is your blessing, you still sell it so expensive, it must really be as good as you say, why can't you sell it for so long, Miss, let's go to Qianyu Pavilion to see, the jewelry there doesn't know how many times better than it! ”
Saying that, Zhihua pulled Su Yexi and was about to leave, but when the vendor saw this, he hurriedly beckoned, and sighed: "Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, are you okay, how much do you say you are willing to buy?"
When Zhihua heard this, he rolled his eyes, raised his face, pinched his waist with one hand, and stretched out three fingers with the other hand to gesticulate.
The peddler was shocked and incredulous
"What, thirty wen, this girl, you are too good at business, this is the best one of all my jewelry, if I only sell thirty wen, then how can you let me sell the rest, can you consider it a little more expensive?"
When Zhihua heard this, he felt that this was also the case, coughed dryly, and said with a smile: "Okay, then this number."
A smile tugged at the corner of the vendor's mouth, and he reluctantly said, "Forty cents? This girl, you ......."
The smile on Zhihua's face disappeared suddenly, and he said, "This is the highest that my young lady can accept, if you are still too cheap, then we will not buy it."
When the peddler heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he said helplessly: "Okay, okay, it's forty wen."
Zhihua smiled playfully at Su Yexi, extremely cute, Su Yexi smiled helplessly, and lightly tapped her forehead.
The peddler carefully wiped the silver hairpin, and complained as he wiped: "This young lady, this maid of yours is really sharp and clear-minded, and she is really the most special one among my many customers."
Su Yexi smiled and said softly: "Let you see and laugh, she has been like this since she was a child."
As he spoke, the vendor blew on the silver hairpin, and was about to hand it to Su Yexi, but his hands stretched out very quickly.
"Hey, how much is this silver hairpin, I want it."
Hearing the voice, Su Yexi looked at the person who spoke, it was Mu Wanqing, the daughter of the prefect Mu Changping, Mu Wanqing was Mu Changping's eldest daughter, one year older than Su Yexi.
Mrs. Prefect originally had a daughter, but when her daughter was five years old, she was unfortunately lost, and Mrs. Prefect was heartbroken about it, and when she gave birth, she hurt her roots and could no longer get pregnant, and Mu Wanqing was the biological daughter of Mrs. Mu who was the eldest among many concubines, so Mrs. Mu took Mu Wanqing from her aunt to her knees to take care of her.
Therefore, although Mu Wanqing was born to her aunt, she was raised by the prefect's wife, so she lived a life like a concubine.
In addition, she is good-looking, with a melon seed face, exquisite, if the shoulders are cut, if the waist is restrained, wearing an orange dress, the skin is fair, and she is also a fair beauty.
In the previous life, she was friendly with Su Xinran, and she helped Su Xinran to bully her openly and secretly, and she was one of her enemies.
The vendor smiled awkwardly: "I'm sorry girl, this silver hairpin has already been bought by this girl, otherwise, you can look at something else."
When Mu Wanqing heard this, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her face was unhappy, and her tone was tough: "Isn't she still paying yet, how much money she paid, I will give you double!"
