The cake is quite successful, everything is ready, just waiting for Feng Yiyang's thirtieth birthday. Yu Xi thought.

And the person Situ Nanfeng said before leaving, he didn't come to find Yu Xi for a long time, which was also unexpected by her. Didn't he say he had found someone to help her? Who is this man?

She mentioned it to Feng Yiyang twice, and Feng Yiyang couldn't think of who it was, but judging from Situ Nanfeng's character, she wouldn't joke, so she waited patiently.

On the eve of Feng Yiyang's birthday, the maid from the second lady's place came to invite Yu Xi, saying that the second lady's maiden family had sent some silk and satin, so that she could pick two horses to make clothes.

Yu Xi has no friendship with the second lady, and she wonders in her heart, when did she become so close to herself? Presumably, it's not as simple as sending silk.

The second lady's name is Liu Xiangyun, and she entered the door with the eldest lady back and forth, and she has also been in the house for 17 years. Her mother's family is a giant in Beijing, and she runs the largest silk village. The most regrettable thing is that I have not given birth to a son and a half daughter over the years, it is said that the family was not rich when I was young, and I followed my parents to do a small business, and I was tired.

Yu Xi only knew that she was the best among the three ladies, because she had no heirs, and she was no threat to the other two. And my father seems to have a deeper relationship with the second lady, and he walks most frequently to the second lady on weekdays.

The elders call, and it is not appropriate not to go.

Yu Xi took some cake made by herself as a gift in return, and went to the second lady.

"Meet Erniang." She smiled and said goodbye, but sat down beside Liu.

Liu only looked at her and smiled, and did not blame her for being rude, and asked people to present a few fine silk horses for her to choose at will.

Yu Xi was not polite, and casually pointed out two horses for the purple cuckoo magpie to take back to Mingdeju first, and hurriedly took out the gifts he brought to the Liu family as if he were offering treasures.

"Erniang, this is a new type of dim sum I make, you can taste it, if you like it, I will make more for you in the future."

Liu tasted it from the goodness and was full of praise.

Yu Xi didn't know that the Liu family was looking for her, they were all top people, and they just pretended to be confused.

Liu didn't say anything, she didn't ask, just chatted with ordinary people's mothers.

"Erniang, do all three sisters have this silk? I chose first, isn't it a bit rude? "Yu Xi rambles aimlessly.

Liu couldn't help but laugh again: "You kid, you took all the silk back, and it was rude to ask if it was rude, so it can be seen that you don't care too much." ”

Yu Xi playfully stuck out her tongue, also silly.

"The second and third ladies have been taken care of by their biological mothers since they were children, where do I have to worry about it, I went back to my parents' house, I just wanted to bring you two horses, but I was not so thoughtful, and I was comprehensive."

Liu Shi said quietly, and almost said to Yu Xi, "I am my own person".

Yu Xi didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, but she hurriedly got up and said: "It's really Lao Erniang!" ”

"No wonder that kid Situ said that you are in pain. Before, I didn't have deep contact, but today we sat together, and it really hurt people. The fan in Liu's hand shook and shook, and he couldn't help but say this.

Yu Xi's eyes flashed with inspiration, and he suddenly understood.

Situ Nanfeng's hand is long enough, and he came directly to the Prime Minister's Mansion! Admire!

She thought that Situ Nanfeng's so-called search for helpers was the same as her father-in-law looking for help from Fei Lengxi, and she was still naïve when she sent a martial arts master over. This relationship is good, and he directly hid the undercover agent in the Prime Minister's Mansion and helped her fight.

"Situ Nanfeng is my brother-in-law, Erniang, do you know each other?" Yu Xi pretended to be innocent and cute and asked her.

Liu Xiangyun took a sip of tea, still silent.

"The Situ family has the grace to save the lives of my Liu family, if it weren't for the old man Situ, let alone opening a silk village, it would be a question of whether our family could live or not. In the past few years, it has done better and better, and the kindness of predecessors can never be forgotten. She didn't hold back, she seemed to be gossiping with her juniors, and there was nothing that others couldn't hear.

I see. Yu Xi nodded.

"Situ that kid asked me to take care of you more in everything before he left Lancang, I didn't know this relationship before, but now that I know, you can rest assured, with me Liu Xiangyun in the Prime Minister's Mansion for a day, others will want to bully you."

Liu Xiangyun didn't know what strength Yu Xi had, listening to her loud tone, and felt that she was not talking big, so she couldn't help but look at her with a strange look.

"Erniang, then I'll thank you first." Yu Xi said, muttering a little in his heart.

Liu Xiangyun didn't say more, the fan shook and shook, ate the cake for a while, drank tea for a while, leaned back in the chair and yawned.

"I'm tired, so go back and rest. Don't do what you want to do, come and discuss with Erniang, Erniang has been doing it for so many years, except for being a little wife for others, she can't do it, and she is not inferior to others in other aspects. ”

Liu Xiangyun said lazily.

The words were not leaky, but it made Yu Xi's heart feel like a hole had opened, and light came in.

Listening to her self-deprecation that "you can't do it when you are a little wife", Yu Xi knew that Liu Xiangyun was not an ordinary woman. After all, women in this society, who are little wives, either their status is indeed inferior to that of their big wives, and they are willing. Otherwise, she is unwilling to do things and wants to straighten things up, and those like her who are frank and self-deprecating, and who are never willing to mix with the Feng family and the third lady, are outliers.

Yu Xi's expression was a little more respectful, and although Liu didn't look at her squarely, he also knew it.

"Someone, send the eldest lady." She was polite, but she didn't stand up.

"Erniang, just treat me as your own child in the future." Yu Xi walked to the door and suddenly turned back to Liu Xiangyun. She doesn't have any children of her own, and she is not very close to anyone, so she must be lonely.

"It's already done." Liu Xiangyun leaned lazily, twisted a small piece of cake and took a bite. "The snacks are good, take the time, make me some more."

"Good!"

Yu Xi showed a happy smile, at this moment he really looked like a child facing his elders.

After Yu Xi left, several servants took away the tea. Liu Xiangyun had a woman named Cuizhu in front of her, who was selected by her from her mother's family, and she was always clever, and said with a smile: "It is also a blessing for the eldest lady to be a daughter to the master." ”

Liu Xiangyun said: "What daughter is not a daughter, I am just entrusted by someone to take care of her, this child is smart, and his heart is not good, I am willing." ”

"No, master, you have a good eye. rushed to the attitude of the regent Jiu Chitose to the eldest lady, and everyone had to rely on the grace of the imperial power, and the eyes grew to the top of the head, but our eldest lady is really good, I heard that the lord asked the eldest lady to get married quickly, she was not happy. ”

Cuizhu didn't know about the past between the Liu family and the Situ family, so she only praised Yu Xi when she had the heart to woo Yu Xi.
