"Miss, the Laba porridge delivered by the imperial dining room today is very different from previous years." Su Ruhui sat in front of the bronze mirror with her eyes closed, her black hair scattered, Xiuwan took the grate and stood behind her to grate her hair, and smiled.

"Really? I didn't pay attention to the patronage just now. Su Ruhui was not very interested.

Seeing this, Xiuwan stopped mentioning the matter with interest, and changed the topic: "Mrs. Zheng Yejun is so magnificent, the slave maid looks, I am afraid that only those ladies of the country can compare." ”

"My mother used to be the daughter of the princess of Suguo, and she was in charge of the affairs of the government since she was a child, and her demeanor was different from that of ordinary housemothers." At the mention of her mother, Su Ruhui really opened her eyes, and suddenly said, "Xiuwan, do you have anything to say?" ”

Xiuwan pursed her lips and smiled: "Miss is smart. ”

"Smart? Today, after being reprimanded by my mother, I realized that what I thought was smart was just a little clever. Su Ruhui sighed, with a tired look on her face, "I'm tired today, you are still here and don't leave, saying that you are helping me grate my hair, but he hesitates from time to time under his hands, obviously he has something in his heart, say, what is the matter?" ”

"The girl that Mrs. brought into the palace today ......" Xiuwan said while quietly looking at Su Ruhui's face from the bronze mirror and said, "The slave maid said something overstepping, the identity of the young lady, after the non-princess and scholar family, is the daughter of an ordinary official, and as a sister, it is also to promote the other party." And the girl ......"

Su Ruhui immediately understood what she meant, Hongluan is just a slave, but Su Ruhui is the daughter of the door valve, although she is politely called Sister Hongluan, but if she is heard by someone with a heart, I am afraid that she will sue herself for a respectful and inferior.

She thought of the rules and regulations she was facing now, and she was not tired of it, but she knew that if Xiuwan was not sincere for herself, she would never dare to say such words. After all, Hongluan and Su Ruhui have been in love for many years, and they are the people around Mrs. Zheng Yejun, if one is not good, it will be misunderstood as slander.

"There are several handmaidens in my family, and there is a reason why I call this Hongluan my sister." After thinking about it, she still suppressed her irritability and explained carefully, after all, Xiuwan has always been attentive to herself, if she is perfunctory at will, I am afraid that there will be gaps, and she will not dare to tell the truth to herself in the future, "Hongluan's real name is Cui Hongluan, when he was in the fifteenth year of Changtai, Siam offended Zezhou, because there was a traitor, Zezhou Mu was the first to be killed, and fell into civil strife, at that time my third uncle was also in the state city, when the broken army galloped to the aid of the starry night, and besieged Zezhou, the leader of the Siamese criminal army in order to survive, in the city to search for the children of the gate valve family, Trying to use these people to force the Pojian army to give way. ”

"It was Cui Hongluan's mother who hid my third uncle, so that she did not fall into the hands of Siam, and at that time, because Pojian Army received an order, Siam was not allowed to let go of Siam! And Zezhou is deserted, although there are some gate lords, family sons, most of them are remote tribes, so the family has acquiesced to this, and those who were forced by Siam to go to the city to ask for way were shot by the flying feathers under the city! Su Ruhui sighed and said, "Only my third uncle was spared, and later he gave Cui's mother and daughter a daughter, but Cui Niang insisted on refusing, but proposed to let Cui Hongluan follow the third uncle as a maid." The third uncle had no choice but to admit her as a righteous daughter, but the third uncle liked to wander around, and it was inconvenient to take Cui Hongluan after all, so he deliberately went back to the imperial capital and entrusted Cui Hongluan to his mother. Originally, my mother and third uncle meant to officially hold a ceremony to recognize her, but my uncle and father resolutely refused, and Hongluan also invited herself to be a slave, my mother had no choice, so she stayed by her side as a daughter to raise, after I was born, my mother also taught me to call her sister when my father and uncle were away, and talk about compensation. ”

Xiuwan said movingly: "Madame is extremely kind. ”

Is the heart extremely kind?

Su Ruhui was thoughtful, Mrs. Zheng Yejun was her mother, and Su Ruhui was naturally not extremely kind to describe it, but ...... After today's conversation, Su Ruhui also knew that the reason why Mrs. Zheng Yejun broke the view of the door valve and treated Hongluan favorably was also because Hongluan did not harm her interests!

Otherwise, it will be like the concubine in the backyard of Sufu, silently, and you will see withering.

Without such means, how could the An clan gain a foothold among the descendants of Qingzhou Su? And how to make Guan Xianghou ignore the convention of marriage of the gate valve and propose marriage?

Su Ruhui didn't feel that her mother was cunning and insidious, but she sincerely admired and admired that the position of Su's wife is not for everyone to sit! Although the gate valve family is glorious, it is also a capable person!

"But you're right, if you see Sister Hongluan again in the future, I'll talk to her about it and change it." Su Ruhui said slowly.

Xiuwan didn't mean that she explained that, but she was actually kind and very happy: "The slave maid is also worried, in fact, if Miss Hongluan accompanies Mrs. Zheng Yejun to enter the Hajj again, when there is no one else, Miss will still be as usual." ”

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, I'm afraid of what happens, if something really happens, I'm afraid that Sister Hongluan will also suffer." Su Ruhui sighed tiredly, "I'm tired, you can go and rest too." ”

"Yes!"

In the early morning of the next day, Su Ruhui was woken up by Xiuwan, freshened up and changed clothes, and when she had breakfast, there was a knock on the courtyard door.

"Slave maid going to see?" Xiuwan, who was preparing vegetables for her, bent down and looked at Su Ruhui inquiringly.

"Good!"

After a while, Xiuying came in behind Xiuwan and saluted Su Ruhua first, and then said with a smile: "Miss Su is already eating?" My young lady, please wait a while, can we go together? ”

"Sister Zhou hasn't left yet?" Su Ruhui smiled politely, "I'll go find her later." ”

Seeing that she agreed, Xiuying pursed her lips and smiled, and said goodbye again.

"This Miss Zhou......" Xiuwan frowned.

Su Ruhui slowly put away her smile: "Mother told me that I would rather offend a gentleman than provoke a villain." ”

"Slave maid, that Miss Zhou in Weiyang Palace is more like a gentleman." Xiuwan snorted lightly, she can almost be said to be a member of the Su family now, naturally everything is on Su Ruhui's side, when Su Ruhui moved to the Chunsheng Palace, the sick Miss Zhou in Weiyang Palace went to visit and chat from time to time, and this Zhou Yi'er, who was close to Su Ruhui's sister and sister before, only sent Xiuying to show her face, even if the two of them were the daughters of the Zhou family, this comparison, Xiuwan naturally disdained Zhou Yi'er.

"Although she is a gentleman, how dare I offend her?" Su Ruhui laughed sincerely when she said this, "It's rare that such a person is willing to visit me when I am in danger, and no one will dare to pay attention to me after offending her?" By the way, my mother left a white jade ginseng yesterday, which is said to be extremely nourishing, and you will find it out in a while, and when I finish asking the Queen Mother, I will go to Weiyang Palace, first, to thank her for not avoiding taboos to visit me in the Chunsheng Palace, and second, I will also give her that ginseng, so that she can make up for it. ”

"White jade ginseng?" Xiuwan was surprised, "This is something that only exists in Beirong, white jade ginseng is divided into three grades, iron, silver, gold, silver ginseng is extremely rare, and the golden ginseng is afraid that only the Queen Mother and Her Majesty can enjoy it in the palace, Madame's branch must be hard to come by, and it will be of great use to Miss Zhou, so it was given to Miss Zhou?" ”

Although Xiuwan is grateful to Zhou Qi's illness, she is more concerned about Su Ruhui's interests, white jade ginseng is a specialty of Beirong, with a very high status, in Beirong, it is called fairy ginseng. Legend has it that this ginseng only grows in the mountains of Beirong as a holy mountain, and for every 100 iron ginsengs, only one silver ginseng is produced, and a thousand silver ginseng plants produce a golden ginseng!

Even in Beijung, this thing is exclusive to the royal family and the powerful. Beirong and Dayong have always been on good terms, and only a thousand-year-old gate valve like the Su family can get this precious golden ginseng.

"No matter how good this thing is, it's not that you will live forever, it's just a strong body." Su Ruhui disagreed, "I'm in good health, but I've been abandoning my illness, if I can give her a little improvement, it's also a little bit of my heart." ”

Xiuwan was still distressed, but looking at Su Ruhui's careless look, she opened her mouth and held back, but she thought that she regarded Su Ruhui as herself, this Su family's daughter was born in the door, and she knew from the fact that she didn't even mention Leng Xiangtan when she saw it, and the luxury that these ordinary people dream of and even crazy about it has long been commonplace for Su Ruhui.

Even though the white jade ginseng was regarded as a treasure by Xiuwan, Su Ruhui was afraid that it was just precious.

Thinking of this, Xiu Wanqiang pressed her distress down, served Su Ruhui, who had already put down her teeth, rinsed her mouth and cleaned her hands, wringed a hot handkerchief to wipe off the greasy lips, re-ordered some rouge, and retired to find the white jade ginseng.
