Xue Mansion is located at the end of the Imperial Capital Zhuque Street, built along the Luo River, the Xue family has been scholarly for generations, although the people have not been prosperous, to Xue Zidian's generation, the female history has not been married, presumably the next will die, but generations have a name, so although in the imperial capital where the nobility is everywhere, few people dare to provoke.

From the outside, the Xue Mansion is no different from the ordinary big households, there are four neatly dressed servants standing in front of the vermilion lacquer bronze door, and the stone lion rolls the ball under the steps, if it weren't for Su Ruhui, Zi Ran really didn't know that it was the history of Xue Nu who had been famous in the imperial capital for decades.

The carriage stopped in front of the Xue Mansion, and the two servants of the Xue family glanced at each other, and came down the steps and said, "Your Excellency, please go back, my master has not seen any guests in the past few years." ”

"This little brother is invited, my young lady is a registered disciple of the female history in the past, the daughter of the Marquis of Wude, the Su family, I asked Gu Gongzi yesterday, and the Tao is the female history, which will be free." In the carriage, a corner of the curtain was lifted, and Zi Ran poked his head out with a smile.

The two servants were slightly stunned when they heard this, and one of them hugged his fists and said: "Miss Su, please forgive me, the villain has only entered the mansion to serve in the past two years, and I don't recognize Miss, so I will go to tell the manager, and then invite Miss in, okay?" ”

"Trouble little brother." Su Ruhui would not answer him, and Zi Ran nodded with a smile.

It didn't take long for a middle-aged man in a silk robe to hurry out, and when he saw the mark of Wudehou's Mansion on the carriage, he was overjoyed, and personally went to the side of the carriage and said, "Is it Miss Su Si in the car?" ”

"It's me, Xue Bo, I haven't seen you for many years, but you're getting more and more energetic." Su Ruhui saw the person coming from the gap in the curtain of the carriage, couldn't help but smile, and ordered Zi Ran to open the curtain and take a picture with this Xue Dongji, and said happily, "Senior brother asked me to come here, is the master free to see me?" ”

"Sir is not free, how can he not have time to see his disciples?" Xue Dongji laughed, and immediately ordered to open the middle door to welcome Su Ruhui in, and entered the Xue Mansion, Zi Ran looked around curiously, only to see that this house was quite large, not much smaller than the Wudehou Mansion, the grass and trees in the courtyard were lush, and when I saw the gold and stone carvings, Zi Ran didn't know that these were all hidden by the Xue family in the past dynasties, and they were extremely precious, but they were placed everywhere so casually, but they also felt that the fragrance of books in the house was strong.

When he arrived at the Moon Gate of the back hall, Su Ruhua got out of the carriage, and Xue Dongji said: "Sir, this will be in the Cloud Sweeping Xuan, do you want Xue Bo to send someone to guide you?" Xue Zidian was ordered by Xue Bai in his childhood, and became a poem on the spot, famous for the rain on a spring night, with two sentences, "I feel faint under the lamp, and the rain is light when I move the candle", when the emperor is called Xue Qingyu, Xue Bai is happy, and Hefu is also proud, and later there are people who come to seek advice, respect him as Mr. Light Rain, and Xue Mansion also follows the title, so Xue Dongji mentioned Xue Zidian, not to say the eldest lady, but Mr.

"If the path inside has not changed, I know it." Su Ruhui smiled and said, "Xue Bo just needs to be busy, don't worry about me." ”

"In this way, the gentleman just ordered something, and Xue Boke will do it first." Xue Dongji was very casual with Xue Zidian's two apprentices, and he didn't treat Su Ruhui as an outsider, and when he heard her say that he knew the way, he nodded and left.

Zi Ran didn't know that the Xue family had a scholarly fragrance for generations, and he was quite surprised and amused when he saw this, and couldn't help but whisper: "Miss, this Mr. Xue is doing this...... Isn't it rude? ”

Su Ruhui frowned slightly, glanced at her, and said lightly: "It's naturally rude for people next to me to do this, but here with my master, do you know how many people want Xue Bo to treat him so casually, and they can't even think of it?" ”

"Huh? Who? Zi Ran asked subconsciously, but seeing that Su Ruhua seemed to be displeased, he hurriedly silenced.

Su Ruhui also ignored and comforted her, although this Zi Dye is the big girl by An's side for many years, and she looks at things and speaks smartly, but in the end, she is a maid, and it seems that it is enough to welcome the noble son who is sent to the door valve, but as soon as she arrives at the Xue family, it is cheesy, and she secretly regrets in her heart that she should change to a little girl who is more good at looking at her eyes, this big girl wants to count on them to control the small ones, so she naturally has to give them dignity and get used to a boldness, but this Zi Dye is too pampered and arrogant.

The master and servant walked silently along the path of the inner hall of the Xue Mansion, Sweeping Cloud Xuan is located in the west of the back hall of Xue Mansion, the Mid-Autumn Festival of the four seasons is white, and the west of the Quartet is white, and there are many poems in the previous dynasty: the white fox is the mountain wind to the moon, and the autumn cold sweeps the clouds and leaves the blue sky, which is the origin of the name of the Sweeping Cloud Xuan.

Now it is autumn, Xiao Xuan on all sides of the original transparent windows have hung layers of bamboo curtains to shade the wind, only the bamboo curtain on the Xuankou side is half rolled, outside stood a Tsing Yi maid, said to be a maid, but not as many as Wudehou Mansion is a twenty-eight year old girl, look at the age of more than thirty years old, but still not out of the pavilion attire, seeing Su Ruhui approaching, slightly smiling, bowed and said: "Miss Su!" ”

"Are you...... My Lady? Su Ruhui recognized this maid, but she was a little unsure of her appearance, and hesitated for a while before saying tentatively, "It's my aunt, right?" I remember that the Fair Lady was a little taller. ”

"Miss Su really has a good memory, and she has clearly separated our sisters in just two months." The maid called My Lady smiled when she heard this, stretched out her hand to open the curtain, and said softly: "My Lady, she is studying ink for Mr., Miss go in." ”

"You stay outside." Su Ruhua nodded and said to Zi Ran, "Follow my aunt." ”

"Yes!" Zi Ran was already too nervous to be hung by Su Ruhui all the way, and when he heard Su Ruhui talking to himself, he knew that it was over, so he breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded.

Su Ruhui stepped into the Xuan alone, although the season is in autumn, but it is not cold enough to need a charcoal basin, but the Xuan has obviously just burned incense, the taste is light, Su Ruhui remembers that this is the master Xue Zi secretly likes benzoin, the legend can calm the mind, Xuankou entered a dark and bright hall, and saw a bright Xuan Hall, there are a few things, in the middle is an ebony long several, a few pen, ink and paper inkstones, and a pot of orchid grass on the corner, a master and a servant, are facing away from Su Ruhui, standing on the side.

The servant's outfit is the same as that of the fair lady at the door, and it is the twin sister of the fair lady, whose name is the fair lady, but a few points higher than the fair lady. The other person's stature is taller than that of Miao Niang, looking from behind, Xue Zidian is wearing a dark dark coat, because Xue Bai has passed away, so the edge of the clothes is simple, and a skirt is exposed under the dark robe, dragging in the shadow of the ebony table, as if it is the color of snow blue, and it seems to be the color of indigo, and there is no brilliance on it.

The female history is slender, not fat or thin, and her black hair is only pulled into a cloud bun at will, and she is poured backwards layer by layer, and a pair of coral carved steps are inserted, but the beads that fall on the step are water spirit stones.

Su Ruhui saw that the master seemed to be painting, so she didn't dare to disturb, so she took a light step and went around to the side, but saw that there was a one-foot-wide piece of rice paper on the table, and a picture of Qiubai travelers fighting for the ferry had already drawn an outline. Xue Zi secretly noticed her arrival, and did not stop writing, and kept coloring a piece of pampas in the painting, then put down the pen and put his hands in the water brought by the Slender Niang, Su Ruhui hurriedly took the clean white handkerchief on the side and offered it, and asked Xue Zi to dry his hands, and then said gently: "Are you well?" ”

Xue Ziyan is over forty years old at the moment, she became famous when she was young, and she was only two years older than Su Ruhui when she became the emperor's capital, and she has been famous for more than 20 years, and she is really a rare strange woman throughout the ages. Xue Zidian's appearance is not particularly outstanding, he can only be regarded as delicate, but the clear air of the book between his eyebrows and the kind of pearl-like bearing infiltrated by the rich splendor of poetry and books are unmatched.

Now Dayong's main palace Niangniang Queen Zhou, also born in Qingliu, Zhou's son's father Zhou Gao, once called Wenlin with Xue Bai, called Xue Zhou. When Queen Zhou did not enter the palace, she was also known as a talented woman in the imperial capital, and she was once faintly compared with Xue Zidian, but Su Ruhui saw Xue Zidian first, and when she saw Queen Zhou again, she really couldn't see what relationship between the queen and the talented girl.

And since Queen Zhou entered the palace, there has never been a sentence and a half of poetry circulating.

"Master Lao is worried, the apprentice has actually been well for a long time, but he just wants to stay at home for a few more days, so he has been dragging it out, and he has been coming to Yuyuan yesterday, and he really can't admit it." Su Ruhui never lied in front of Xue Ziyin, and generously spread out his crime of bullying the monarch and said, "The Queen Mother promised me to return to the palace in ten days, and it happened that Senior Brother Gu came to the door yesterday, so I asked Senior Brother and said that I could come to visit the master." ”

"Although I refuse, I don't see any guests, but a few close friends, and you and Liancheng always meet, so there is no need to be so cautious." Xue Zi secretly shook her head, took her out of the Ming Hall where she was painting, sat next door, looked at Su Ruhua and said, "Liancheng sometimes talks to me about you, the little girl who couldn't hold the pen at the beginning, has grown into such a fair lady." ”

"Don't dare to be a senior brother." Su Ruhui's face suddenly turned red, "Senior brother is talented, but I am a disgrace to my master." ”

"Some of the sentences you have been entertaining in the palace in the past few years, Liancheng sometimes shows them to me, after all, I have only studied with me for two months, and I can still get by." Xue Zidian didn't pay much attention to it, although the Xue family is also the leader of the Qingliu, but it is different from the Zhou family, the Xue family does not have many employees, and the people are not prosperous, and they pay attention to acting on a whim, otherwise they would not have raised Xue Zidian like this, and he dared to look down on the female history of the world's talents as a woman.

At the beginning, Xue Ziyan taught Su Ruhui because it was not the face between the Xianghou and Xue Bai, but Xue Ziyan was unmarried in his life, and he liked the smart and cute little girl a little, and no one could ask her to teach in the past, and the people who were close to Su Ruhui and Gu Liancheng were only the apprentices, plus Su Ruhui was only a registered disciple, this requirement was naturally low and low, not to mention that Xue Ziyan also knew that Su Ruhui worshiped under his own door at the beginning, and what he did was just to please the queen, and the path he took was inconsistent with his own. There will be no higher requirements.

But her casual words of relief made Su Ruhui excited, and it took a while before she spoke: "Hasn't the master slept well these days?" ”

"You smell benzoin, don't you?" Xue Zi was secretly sensitive, and immediately guessed why she asked this, and explained, "Yuan Sheng returned to the capital and brought me a batch of albein incense that was said to be improved, and he was trying to burn one just now. ”
