"I was really scared to death by you just now," Lu Xiyuan found an opportunity to talk to Su Xi alone, "People like ours are also very particular about gift-giving, how can they be so reckless." ”

Su Xi nodded ashamedly, she was indeed a little ill-conceived about this matter, although she didn't expect that there would be a variable of Princess Shen, but rashly sending some strange things as birthday gifts is sometimes not a happy thing.

Lu Xiyuan saw that she looked humbly taught, so she didn't blame her, but patiently taught her: "This gift depends on the identity and friendship, and it should be more important to the occasion."

"You are new to the capital, and you don't know enough about the people in the capital to dare to take this kind of unseen thing as a congratulatory gift, fortunately, my mother-in-law, she has a very good impression of you, if you change to someone else, I am afraid that you will think that you are deliberately making trouble."

"I was reckless, I thought it would be rare to send such a rare thing, but I caused such a storm and caused trouble for my sister." Su Xi sincerely apologized.

"For Prince Lu's Mansion, this is not a trouble," Lu Xiyuan said casually, she only warned Su Xidao: "The water in Beijing is deep, and you are not a strong person, there will be nothing wrong with doing everything according to the rules." ”

"Yes, I remember," Su Xi thought of the lady who was angry with the mirror, so he asked, "That Mrs. Zhang...... Am I supposed to go for a crime? ”

Lu Xiyuan said disdainfully when she heard it: "She? She wants to look in the mirror herself, but she can't accept the facts, what does it have to do with you? A lady of a ruined mansion ......"

Su Xi felt that it made sense, she actually didn't want to go to that lady at all, at first glance, she was a proud and squeamish master, and it didn't necessarily have any effect if she was just asking for hardship.

But Lu Xiyuan's words changed, but he said: "But after all, the matter started because of you, and you should go and see it, so as not to let others say that our Lu family is not polite, which will bring unnecessary trouble to Ah Zhen." ”

How did it get so fast? Lu Xiyuan obviously doesn't like that lady very much, so is there any other reason why she has to go? That lady seemed to be the young lady of the Marquis Jingyi family.

Speaking of Jingyihou's mansion, it should have been a powerful family that people were vying to please, if nothing else, because the current queen is Jingyihou's sister-in-law.

However, in fact, Marquis Jingyi not only has no real power, but even the title is not hereditary, as I said before, in order to weaken the strength of the saint who is still the prince, the emperor chose a woman with no background to continue him.

In order not to make his son's face too ugly, he picked the granddaughter of the Zhang family who had the title of "first beauty", and named the old lady of the Zhang family the last Marquis of Jingyi, this title ended in three generations, and it was the last generation to the queen's brother.

Therefore, this young lady can only be called a young lady, her husband can't enjoy the shadow of her ancestors and become a marquis, and she naturally can't be a princess.

The queen's maiden family, in Lu Xiyuan's eyes, naturally wants to put a low posture to make friends, even if she doesn't look down on the Zhang family, after all, his husband is working hard to support the crown prince.

Su Xi sighed softly after thinking about this.

What made Su Xi feel the most was that after the emperor ascended the throne, he didn't even say that he would seal the Zhang family, so he could give a hereditary replacement, how undesirable it is to see this successor!

Su Xi nodded and dealt with Lu Xiyuan, Lu Xiyuan didn't say anything more, today she is the master, it is not easy to get this moment, seeing that the words have been finished, she went to take care of herself.

Looking at the ladies eating tea and chatting in the pavilion, and then looking at the young ladies in the garden who chanted poems against each other, Su Xi always felt that she was out of place, obviously when she was in Sifang City, she could always happily wander among the ladies and ladies.

Is this the so-called "identity differentiation"?

The people who came to ask the mirror were enthusiastic on their faces, but the disdain in their eyes was rarely concealed, and even a "dull" person like Su Xi could feel it.

So she didn't want to go forward at all, so she found a thick peach branch and jumped up, lay down on the branch and waited for the banquet to end, and the two maids let them move freely.

"You're really looking for a place to hide."

The sound from under the tree woke Su Xi up, she suddenly opened her eyes, looked sideways under the tree, and saw Princess Shen half-leaning on the trunk of the tree looking at Su Xi with a smile.

"It turned out to be Princess Shen, it is inconvenient to salute on the tree, please forgive the princess." The fragrance of peach blossoms is really good for sleep, Su Xi hasn't woken up yet, she is lazy and reluctant to move, of course, she thinks that Princess Shen is not a person who is more polite than an accountant.

Sure enough, Princess Shen didn't care at all, but smiled happily, and said, "You are indeed an interesting person, different from those people," she said, referring to the ladies and ladies in the garden.

"Naturally it's different, they are royal daughters and clan families, how can I, the daughter of a rural villager and a businessman, compare," Su Xi waved his hand, saying casually, it can be seen that he didn't care very much.

"A group of wretched women who live for the glory of the family," said Princess Shen, who suddenly sighed, and pointed to the purple-clothed girl who was reciting poetry in the garden with a smile:

"Did you see that girl? Her appearance and talent are all superior, and many outstanding children in Beijing have inquired about her, but her family only wants to marry her into the East Palace, so that she has no in-laws at nearly twenty years old, if the prince does not marry her, it is impossible to marry any good family at her age. ”

Su Xi looked at the woman in purple, and it was really an elegant and graceful beauty, but it was a pity.

"And that," she pointed to a gorgeously dressed woman, and said to Su Xi, "She is the lord of Baihua, the daughter of the eldest princess of Leqing, do you think she is cute and cute?" ”

Su Xi followed and looked at the Baihua County Lord, she was indeed a beautiful girl who was eye-catching, her good family background made her have the momentum of a superior, but her smile was full of the youth and liveliness of a girl.

Princess Keshen said: "She looks so lovely in front of people, but who knows how she abuses people in her own house, and beating is only the lightest punishment." ”

"How so?" Su Xi was a little unconvinced, but there was no anger in this girl's eyes.

"How not." Princess Shen said coldly, "Le Qing only has one child, and she loves her very much, even if she cries, she will severely punish the subordinates who serve her, how can she not learn." ”

Su Xi didn't speak again, and quietly listened to Princess Shen tell her about the unknown things of these ladies and nobles, and at the end, Su Xi remembered to ask her, "Why are you talking to me about this?" "Some are even about royal dignity.

"You've heard it all, what's the use of being vigilant now," Princess Shen laughed at her mercilessly, and after a bit of laughter, she said, "Gossip is a thing that only becomes fun if someone shares it, doesn't it?" ”

"Gossip? What does this have to do with divination? Su Xi was puzzled.

Princess Shen looked at Su Xi's face carefully, and saw that her doubts were not fake, and she was a little disappointed in her heart, but she still said with a smile on her face: "The dialect of my hometown is the meaning of rumors and rumors. ”
