At the end of the banquet, Su Xi left a hand mirror for Lu Xiyuan before leaving with the two maids, and when he returned home, Su Xi collapsed directly in Lu Youzhen's arms, closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

"Exhausted?" Lu Youzhen peeled an orange and fed it to Su Xi one by one, and when the whole orange was eaten, Su Xi opened his eyes and looked at Lu Youzhen, and told him about the things at the banquet.

"It's really hard for my little stream," Lu Youzhen rubbed her shoulders and legs diligently, Su Xi enjoyed it quite a lot, and she heard Lu Youzhen say: "That Jingyi Hou Mansion, if you don't want to go, don't go, the big brother and sister want to support the prince, and the people on the prince's side have nothing to do with us." ”

Besides, the fault is not in Suxi, so why bother to come to the door to offer hospitality.

Su Xi said: "Of course, we don't have to go to praise others, but my sister speaks, if I don't go, wouldn't I not give my sister face, you are sisters and brothers, there is no need to be angry about this little thing." ”

"That Mrs. Jingyihou is famous for her pungent temper, I'm afraid that you will suffer," Lu You really thought about it and said, "If you really want to go, take Lu Nian with you, I'd rather offend them than let myself be wronged, you know?" ”

Su Xi nodded, asked Vanilla to prepare a gift for her to bring tomorrow, and called Jinxiu again.

In the end, it was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, the excitement in her eyes couldn't be hidden, it was the first time she had seen so many nobles, their maids were dressed better than many rich ladies she had seen, and the temperament of her gestures made her dare not treat the other party as a maid.

Is that the real wealthy aristocrat? Jinxiu was very envious.

"Childe, young lady," she saluted the two merrily.

Su Xi was infected by her smile, and also laughed, and asked her, "How did you see today?" ”

Jinxiu thought about it seriously before saying, "I'...... It was the first time for the slave maid to see so many nobles, which was really an eye-opener for the slave maid, but in the same way, their rules were also suffocating. ”

She originally wanted to learn how to practice such a temperament from those maids, but after listening to the rules of their house, Jinxiu retreated a little, and was still free by Su Xi's side, however, ...... This put her in a dilemma.

"They work in such people's houses, and the people in the house are all powerful people, so they are naturally strict with their subordinates, lest they snub anyone, offend anyone, and cause unnecessary trouble."

Su Xi saw her thoughts, so she nodded again: "It's just a choice of chicken head and phoenix tail, it depends on which one you want to do." ”

Jinxiu is also a smart and intelligent person, and she has never been afraid of hardship, but the comfort of these days has made her bones a little soft, and she is confused at such a critical moment.

She was secretly annoyed that she was confused, and secretly scolded herself for a few sentences, before she restrained her smile and replied to Su Xi: "Thank you for the guidance of the young lady, the slave maid has become familiar with the little maids brought by each family today, and I have heard some news from them." ”

Jinxiu told Su Xi all the news she heard today, most of them are some parents, although these maids in the Gaomen compound are taught not to talk more about the affairs of their own mansions, but when it comes to the affairs of other families, they do not have the slightest psychological burden.

Su Xi quickly got a general understanding of the various grievances and hatreds between these wealthy compounds, and she smiled and rewarded two beaded hairpins and a box of silk flowers, so that she could continue to keep in touch with the maids she knew today.

Waiting for Jinxiu to leave, Lu Youzhen looked at Su Xi with a strange expression and said, "That's why you want to bring her here?" ”

There were no outsiders in the house, so Su Xi continued to lean on Lu Youzhen and said: "Pandan Vanilla has followed me since I was a child, although her personality is lively and outgoing, but her heart is too honest, let them inquire about the news, I am afraid that not only will they not get anything useful, but they will also ask people to go."

"Jinxiu is different, she is mixed in the market, she is quite old-fashioned, and she knows how to observe words and feelings, so she is not the most suitable for this industry."

"She's ambitious and cunning enough, but it's not easy to control," Lu Youzhen was a little worried that Su Xi would suffer.

Su Xi agreed: "She never hides her thoughts, and I also know that if there is a better opportunity, she may not betray me, so I won't trust her as much as I trust Xianglan." ”

"It's too risky, after all, it's your close-up person."

"I just thought she was a bit like the fifth sister at the time, and I couldn't help but bring her here for a while, and now it's not good to send people away."

Su Xi was clearly unwilling, and Lu Youzhen had no choice but to tell his subordinates to pay more attention to Jinxiu's actions.

Early in the morning of the second day, Su Xi took Lu Nian and Jinxiu to Jingyi Hou's Mansion, which is worthy of being the queen's maiden home.

Su Xi was taken to the side hall to sit dry, there was no master in the house to entertain him, not to mention, and he couldn't even send tea, which was to show Su Xi's face.

However, Su Xi is very ashamed to act like this, in the real nobles of the family, such behavior not only does not play any deterrent role, but also reduces his character, which is not much better than directly scolding.

Su Xi, who had long expected that people would not be polite to entertain her, did not have any unpleasantness, she sat there in a daze, and I don't know how long it took, Su Xi was woken up by a noise, she looked at Jinxiu, and Jinxiu turned around and went out to inquire.

After a while, Jinxiu came in and said, "Young lady, it seems that something happened in the backyard of the Hou Mansion, and the lady who looked in the mirror yesterday was about to hang herself." ”

"What's going on?" Su Xi couldn't help but guess, it's been a day, if you want to die and come back yesterday, you should make a fuss, why wait until today, is it to show her?

Su Xi's face was a little bad, she followed the voice and walked to the backyard, it was really strange that the people in the past didn't stop them when they saw the people.

When I came to a certain courtyard, I heard a cry from inside before I entered the door: "Don't stop me, let me die, what's the point of my life." ”

Su Xi stood outside the door, and saw that there were many maids and wives surrounded inside, and the young lady who looked in the mirror yesterday was sitting crookedly on the ground at this time, leaning on an elderly mother-in-law, crying so much that her sideburns were crooked and tears flowed.

"What are you crying about, I'm just resting here for one night in Chun Tao, what are you making a fuss about," a handsome young man came out of the room, and there was a delicate and lovely little concubine beside him.

The little concubine looked trembling, knelt down and kowtowed to the young lady and said: "The young lady is angry, it's all the slave's fault, the slave shouldn't invite the son to come because the fetus in the womb is uncomfortable, if you want to blame the slave, don't hurt yourself." ”

She wiped her tears and touched her belly. The man beside him looked distressed, he helped the little concubine up, and said to her: "This matter has nothing to do with you, you go into the house and rest, don't hurt the child." ”

The little concubine entered the inner room at the man's insistence, and the young lady on the ground had a more hideous expression, stood up and shouted at the man: "Zhang Lan, you said yesterday that I am the most beautiful, and you will always accompany me."

"But as soon as this slut asked someone to invite you, you went to accompany her, and lied to me that she was resting in the study, how could you do this to me?"
