From the first day to the fifteenth day of the Lunar New Year, it is also the time when the streets are the most crowded, and the shouts of vendors come and go, and the number of people visiting relatives and friends has not decreased in the slightest. Jinxiulou is taking advantage of the festival to make a lot of money.

Since the second day of the first month, General Su's Mansion has come to pay New Year's greetings to the dignitaries and dignitaries in an endless stream, and gifts are carried in and out of the treasury of the General's Mansion. Until today, the fifth day of the first lunar month has not been sent to the general's mansion, and the people in the whole mansion have been busy for a few days and can finally take a breath.

In the past few days of the New Year, when the eldest lady Zhao is full of spring breeze, how to dress up in the house, the greetings received every day, the distinguished guests to be received every day, the dishes on the banquet, and the gift list are all handled by one hand.

These are all about the rights of the wife of the house, when she shows her ability. Every word and deed shows that she is the head of the General's Mansion. Su Qing followed to learn and trained independently.

In previous years, the eldest lady Zhao took Su Qing, and the second lady Song took Su Yiling to accompany Mrs. Su to receive the distinguished guests, and the reputation of the two concubines could spread without deliberately fabricating it. The old lady didn't like Su Acacia, and the eldest lady and the second lady didn't want multiple people to steal the limelight, so naturally they wouldn't ask her to come out and show up.

Su Xiangsi showed her face at the palace banquet, and the news of being favored by the emperor and queen also spread overnight. In order to avoid some tongues, Mrs. Su said that this year, Li Qinse and Su Xiangsi would attend various banquets in the mansion together.

Inevitably, Su Xiangsi will be compared. After a little question, qin, chess, calligraphy and painting are not as proficient as women's virtues, and the news between women spreads the fastest. After the New Year, the aristocratic circle knew that the third lady of General Su's Mansion only had an empty skin.

For several days in a row, he accompanied the smile and demeanor on the table, but Su Xiangsi was tired, and there were many things that had not been dealt with in the bamboo courtyard. Knowing that there was no worship post today, Mrs. Su also took the two ladies to go to relatives and friends to spoil Su Xiangxi.

After sleeping enough, I got up and saw that the volumes that had been piled up on the table for a few days had a headache, so I silently opened them and began to deal with them.

After dealing with it without stopping, it was already dark, and he rubbed his sore and stiff neck: "What about my father, mother, and brother?" ”

"I went out to meet my friends and haven't come back yet." The catkins packed up the file and put it in the dark compartment to put it away.

"Let's change our clothes and go to Splendid Embroidery."

Liu Wu responded to the sound, found a dress of coarse linen clothes for Su Xiangsi to change, and wore an extra set of thick cotton clothes to look bloated. Coated with characteristic rouge, his face is sallow and dull, and there are a few black spots. Let Rosin stay in the yard to deal with other situations, and take the catkins over the wall and out of the general's mansion.

During the Spring Festival, there is no curfew, the street is lit by lanterns, and the lobby on the first floor of the Splendid Building is full of people on the stage, and the singers are whispering softly and humming a little song. Su Xiangsi and Liu Wu stepped in with a basket of flowers in the crook of their arms.

"Childe, fresh flowers, buy one for the girl next to you."

"Let's go, don't get in the way."

……..

The two of them asked one table after another, but no one sold one, and was pushed out of the splendid gate by Xiao Er, Su Xiangsi grabbed the door and begged bitterly and refused to leave.

"Sell flowers, bring them up and let my master pick a few." In the cloister on the second floor, a girl stood with her chin tilted and called out to the two of them.

The two people at the bottom were pleasantly surprised, trotted up to the second floor with a basket of flowers, and entered the wing room with a thousand thanks.

The bewitching man in the wing room who behaved freely laughed out loud when he saw Su Xiangsi's dress.

"Auntie, what are you doing?"

Xue Zi held back a smile on the side: "Master...... Happy New Year, Master. ”

Su Xiangsi took off her makeup after going to the screen, changed her dress, and restored her appearance as a girl.

"There are a lot of chores in the house, so what's wrong with it today?" The silver ticket handed to Xue Zihong's paper bag.

Xue Zi didn't twist either, and accepted the red envelope with a salute: "It's okay, the rewards of the shopkeepers have been distributed, and the account books at the end of the year have also been delivered." All of them are waiting for the master's arrangement. ”

Jing Jiu looked at Su Xiangsi from the side, why didn't he have a New Year's red envelope.

Su Xiangsi felt that his head was so big that he couldn't read the account books of several shops in his father's hand, and the account books in Jinxiu Building were piled up again. Unable to wave his hand, let Xue Zi go and bring the account books.

"Good sister, by the way, help me decorate some snacks, and I'll take them to Ah Chen later." Jing Jiu took the opportunity to hold Xue Zi's jade hand, and if he didn't agree, he wouldn't let go.

Xue Zi's face flushed, and he wanted to break free with all his strength, but his eyes widened to indicate that the master was still here.

Jing Jiu refused, and his fingers drew circles in Xue Zi's palm. Xue Zi felt that his arm was numb, and he was so flustered that he didn't dare to look at Su Xiangsi.

Su Xiangsi and Liu Fu turned around to look at the calligraphy and paintings on the wall.

The painting is not bad.

Well, it looks good to hang this.

Xue Zi was ashamed of herself. In a hurry, he took a hard bite at Jing Jiu's palm.

Painfully, he let go of his hand and scolded angrily: "It's really willing." ”

Su Xiangsi heard the voice and turned her head sideways to see Jing Jiu looking at her with a pitiful face, "It's going well, you can hold Ah Zi's hand." ”

"Ah Zi is fascinated by my charm." I really don't know what modesty is.

"What's the point of going out?" When Su Xiangsi learned that King Yu was going to be framed, she sent Jing Jiu to Wei Liang Kingdom to visit, the stakes were very high, and she was not at ease when she sent others.

Jing Jiu gave the sealed scroll to Su Xiangsi, and it was densely filled with the news he had found: "I haven't found out which prince of King Yu and Wei Liang Kingdom colluded together." The strength of the other party is not lower than ours, and it was almost discovered several times. Many people have been sent to keep an eye on it. ”

"King Yu is cautious, he hasn't caught his tail for the past few years. I was assassinated a few years ago, but I was left alive, and I didn't make a few moves. "Find a file and give it to Jing Jiu to read," I haven't finished recruiting yet, now I am hanging, if you are interested, you can go and take a look." ”

"Do you suspect that King Yu is colluding with the forces of the rivers and lakes?"

"It's not a suspicion, King Yu is a force in the rivers and lakes." Su Xiangsi raised her lips and smiled meaningfully.

"After the New Year, King Yu will stretch out his hand to you, you have to be careful." Jing Jiu is a good man on weekdays, and the situation is now serious, and he also has a personal appearance, "Especially you, internal and external troubles." ”

Su Xiangsi gave him a reassuring look: "She Su Qing is not easy to deal with, and I am not an easy person to handle." ”

Xue Zi came out of the darkness, the crimson on his face disappeared, and threw the food box into Jing Jiu's arms: "Hurry up and get the things on." ”

Jing Jiu smiled contentedly, his eyes shining: "Still thinking about me." He was not afraid of dying and kissed Xue Zi on the face. Run for your life into the darkness.

"Master...... Jing Jiu and I ...... "The heartbeat that had calmed down was now uncontrollable."

"Lang Qing concubine, I will add makeup to you when the time comes." Su Xiangsi's words made Xue Zi ashamed and faintly expectant.

It's a good thing that her subordinates have a good home, and she's not a cold-blooded cannibal witch.

"Master, I saw something interesting today." Xue Zishen mysteriously came to Su Xiangsi's side

"What is King Yu doing again?" Su Xiangsi looked through the account books and didn't raise his head, King Yu likes to 'rub the people's feelings' outside.

Xue Zi pouted, it was really boring, and he guessed it.

"Su Yiling and King Yu seem to be very familiar."

Successfully attracted Su Xiangsi's attention.

Jing Jiu swaggered into Mu Jinchen's courtyard with the food box.

"Ah Chen, uncle, I'm back." He kicked open the door and opened his throat.

Yu Yixin was dripping blood, and he had just replaced the Nanmu door.

Mu Jinchen glanced at him lightly and ignored it,

"I was in Jinxiu just now, and I happened to meet Acacia making new pastries, and I brought it to you to try." Jing Jiu didn't care about his sullen attitude, and poured himself tea and picked up a piece of pastry and stuffed it into his mouth.

Who's yard doesn't have a delicate and intelligent maid to serve, Ah Chen, the two old men, are cattle and horses.

"Did you go all the way?" Turning the page, he reached out and picked up a piece of pastry, and took a small bite. Put it down again.

This taste is not made by Si'er.

"There is no progress in the affairs of King Yu, but your poison ...... It has something to do with Xiangsheng. ”

Mu Jinchen stared at the handover scroll without saying a word, his deep eyes were full of anger and hatred that could not be hidden, and he wanted to pierce the note.

After being in a coma for more than ten days after being hit by an arrow on the battlefield, he couldn't lift his internal strength and couldn't hold a sword. No more going to war.

All that remained was the tattered body and the ridicule of the enemy, and the sympathy of the people. The pain of midnight is still vividly remembered.

It all changed, it all changed overnight.

Now he doesn't know how long he will live.

Su Xiangsi still didn't worry about listening to the bamboo courtyard, rosin was able to block his father and mother, but he was also afraid of other incidents. I didn't dare to stay in Jinxiulou for too long, and returned to the bamboo courtyard with a few thick account books. It seems that the brothers in Minghui will have to finish their work before they can go to see it.
