Approaching the hot summer, the days are getting longer. The sunlight also became dazzling, and a cluster of sunlight shone through the swaying bamboo leaves, and dappled shadows sprinkled on the lattice windows and fell into the bed.

In the afternoon, listening to the bamboo courtyard is so quiet that people can rest assured, there are two or three maids sitting under the corridor quietly taking care of the embroidery thread, the flowers planted by Su Xiangsi at the beginning of the year are now growing very well, and the little maids see that the flowers they take care of by themselves can be so good-looking, and their hearts rise more joyful. Every day, when I am free, I take care of another bush of flowers and plants that have not yet grown.

Returning from Xinghai City, Su Xiangsi suddenly became interested, and ordered someone to dig a very small pool, planning to raise a few small fish in it.

The bamboo leaves moved with the wind, and the rustling sound could be transmitted to the ears of the sleeping Su Xiangsi from afar. Satisfied to turn over, between his eyebrows stretched, warm and soft glutinous: "Liu Wu, what time is it?" ”

"Before the unitary time, Miss has only taken a nap for half an hour, but is she about to get up?" The catkins lifted a corner of the bed curtain.

Su Xiangsi's eyes narrowed slightly, and the sunlight outside was so good. Nodding his head, he got up, whether he was going to Yi'an Hospital for dinner, or not to be late.

Rosin pulled Su Acacia's hair into a common bun and inserted a begonia hairpin with silver silk beads. The dress is a light green and white dark pattern of green bamboo, covered with a thin shirt with narrow sleeves.

The whole person is clean and refreshing, and the fan handle made of cool jade can feel cool and suitable in your hand, and you only need to move lightly in the hot day, and the wind brought by it is the coolness that penetrates into the skin.

The moment he stepped out of the door, he sighed: "The time is just right, but it's a pity that I don't go boating on the lake." ”

"Miss Yang locks herself in her room every day and refuses to come out, otherwise she would have been arguing with Miss Yang to go together."

Su Xiangsi's eyes moved slightly, some things are better than knowing the truth than knowing the truth.

It was too early, and Su Xiangsi's footsteps turned and walked into the garden. If you can't go on a boat, then enjoy a small flower to kill time, think about it, other boudoir ladies are all looking at flowers and reading words on weekdays, and she really hasn't looked at General Su's garden as seriously as she did today.

After getting off the Jiuqu corridor, Su Xiangsi casually stroked the broken hair that was blown by the wind in front of her forehead, responded to the maid who saluted her, and stepped across the threshold into the main hall of Yi'an Hospital.

Only the juniors sat in the hall, and the ladies and masters in each room were not there, and Su Qing was no more.

Find a place to sit down for Mrs. Su after the salute, not to insert a few words to make Mrs. Su happy. It is impossible for Mrs. Su to call just because she misses her children and grandchildren, and she rarely asks everyone to have dinner with her before.

Su Qing and Su Yiling, who are the most favored by Mrs. Su, are only often left for lunch, and now there is a sense of being courteous in it.

Su Qing's figure is absolutely indispensable on this occasion, and the eldest lady's body is precious in the end. A few days ago, I just went to Shangshu Mansion to burn pillar incense to send Yang Yier a ride, and after I came back, I was bedridden that night, and I invited the doctor to come and only explained that I had never seen the funeral scene and was scared.

As soon as she received the news, Su Xiangsi went to Qingmei Courtyard to sit for a while, and did enough superficial work. Scared to attend a funeral? I'm afraid I'm scared of my heart.

Mother Qin beckoned the people in each room to sit down around the dining table, and Su Xiangsi saw that a trace of sarcasm quickly flashed in her eyes when she saw the dishes on the table, half of which were actually to her taste.

Mrs. Su took a piece of eggplant and chewed it a few times, the flavor had already blended in, and she nodded with satisfaction: "Today's meal is all made according to your taste, eat more." ”

The elders spoke, and the juniors picked up the chopsticks one after another, and saw that Su Xiangsi was very face-saving, and every dish she liked was sandwiched again, and Mrs. Su withdrew her gaze.

"Si'er, recently, your father and brother have been running around trying cases for the emperor, have you had a good rest?"

Su Xiangsi swallowed the green vegetables, put down the silver chopsticks, and said slowly: "My father and brother go back to the house every day in the middle of the night, and they should serve the imperial court." ”

Old Lady Su glanced at Su Mingrun and Su Mingyuan, and spoke in a slightly consultative tone: "You are a well-behaved and sensible person, and you never let your relatives worry." Now that you're so old, I don't have much energy as an old woman to worry about you. ”

A few people at the table didn't answer, they quietly glanced at each other, and Su Xiangsi didn't say anything, and silently drank a sip of soup. The atmosphere at the dinner table was suddenly a little delicate.

Su Yiling saw that the situation was not good, so she packed a bowl of fresh soup and put it in the old lady's hand and took the initiative to speak: "Grandmother is angry again, where is she old now?" You'll have to hold your great-grandson in the future. ”

Several people listened to this and agreed, only Su Xiangsi took a few sips of fresh soup.

Mrs. Su was so angry in her heart that she would never give good fruit to eat if she was put on face like this by her juniors, and now she can only stabilize her mind when she has something to ask for, and personally put a piece of tender chicken in Su Xiangsi's bowl: "Although our mansion is the Gaojue Mansion, there are too few positions in the court." Your father and Jin'er are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, and if they have their own people in the court to help them, they won't be so tired. ”

Su Xiangsi was unhappy, and went around in a big circle, so it turned out to be such an idea. Put down the dishes and chopsticks, and signaled that she had finished eating: "Grandmother is kind and kind, and my granddaughter will tell my father tonight." ”

didn't think about it, Su Xiangsi put her words aside completely, and Su Mingrun and Su Mingyuan, who were sitting opposite, glanced at Su Xiangsi suspiciously, did she do it on purpose or did she really understand what she meant?

"Run'er and Yuan'er are going to participate in the Autumn Festival, and then they will enter the court as officials, and they can take care of each other at that time. Grandmother pondered, there is still a period of time before Qiuqiu, it is better to let your two brothers also go to the sixth department to find a spare job to familiarize themselves with first. ”

Su Xiangsi listened calmly, and she was inseparable from the eight or nine that she had guessed in her heart, and she wanted to get closer before she started the exam. The people at the table held their breath and waited for her return.

The corners of her mouth rose up, and she nodded matter-of-factly: "Grandmother is still thoughtful, grandfather will definitely agree." ”

"This ...... He doesn't care what your grandfather wants......"

So beg on her head?

Su Xiangsi suddenly realized, ignored their ambitious eyes, and bit her lip: "How should this be?" ”

Mrs. Su couldn't suppress the anger in her heart, and she didn't dare to be tough on Su Xiangsi with the warning of General Su, so she could only continue patiently: "You are a child who will take care of the overall situation, you go back and discuss with your father, there will always be a way." ”

As he spoke, he took Su Xiangsi's hand and put it in his palm.

Su Xiangsi forced a smile, lowered his head helplessly and hesitated for a while: "This ...... This is a big deal, so my grandmother should discuss it with my father herself. I'm a boudoir lady who doesn't know any of this. ”

"Third sister, I heard that the bamboo courtyard has always been in charge of you, and we also know that the third uncle values you the most, and it will be possible to persuade you to come forward."

Oh? It turned out that I begged once? No wonder I was so intimate with her today.

Seeing that Su Xiangsi didn't speak for a long time, Su Mingyuan had to open his mouth to persuade: "It's just a spare job to go in to pass the time, and it won't cause trouble for the third uncle." It won't be stupid enough to discredit the face of our mansion. ”

"Third sister, if you think about it, if the three elder brothers all have positions in the court, it will also be of great benefit to our sisters. We won't trouble you unless we have to. ”

Su Xiangsi didn't answer for a long time, but a few people present were anxious, for fear that she would not be able to figure out the reason for the benefits and refuse this good opportunity.

"Good granddaughter, the glory of the lintel is related to everyone's future, and other families can't ask for such a relationship." Mrs. Su was also a little anxious, this matter can only be done by people in the third room, hinting that Su Mian also reprimanded Li Qinse, but she didn't expect the couple to not enter.

After everyone begged her, they reluctantly nodded and agreed: "I will mention this matter to my father, if it is not successful, grandmother and brothers must not blame me." ”

The brothers laughed heartily and threatened not to blame her, the atmosphere at the dinner table was so lively that Su Xiangsi was disgusted, they blocked their hearts, and directly ignored her sorrow and frowned and couldn't swallow a bite of food.

Before leaving, Mrs. Su insisted that Qin's mother send her back to the door of Tingzhu Courtyard.
