Chapter 172: Ready to Move (2)

Xiangxiu beckoned the Tong family to the ear room, and the mother and daughter closed the door and didn't know what to say. But in a few moments, the door of the ear room opened. The Tong family came out and called away the two little girls on the porch. Xiangxiu straightened her clothes, and also went out of the ear room, and went directly to the upper room.

There was only one little girl left at the door.

Because Qi Yu was in the study, the people in the courtyard automatically lowered their voices when they talked and walked.

Xiangxiu took the initiative to say to the little girl: "I'm looking for Sister Citron." ”

"Sister Citron is talking to Sister Kikyo in Grandma's room." The little girl said.

"I'll just go in by myself." Xiangxiu didn't let the little girl report and stepped into the house. She turned the screen lightly, and the white porcelain tea set was placed on top of the Duobao Pavilion, and there was a delicate tea box next to it.

On the kang in the Duobao Pavilion, the bellflower is comparing various silk threads with the citron, talking about how to match the color. Both of them lowered their heads and looked at the silk thread.

Xiangxiu walked lightly to the Duobao Pavilion and picked up the tea set and tea box.

Kikyo seemed to hear something and looked up.

Citron also stood up at this time, just blocking Kikyo's view.

Xiangxiu exhaled and walked out quickly with something.

In the ear room, the Tong family had already brought a pot of hot water and waited there.

Xiangxiu put down what she was holding and let out a long breath.

"Thanks to my mother's insight, I let you learn this thing, and now it may come in handy, this is a blessing from God." The Tong family said with some excitement.

"I haven't skimmed it yet." Xiangxiu glanced at the Tong family, disappreciating it in her heart, saying that she was knowledgeable, but a tea master rented her house, and the Tong family thought that the tea master gave little rent, so she learned this craft, but it was just to fill the rent.

"Mother, should I change my clothes?" Xiangxiu looked at the clothes on her body. The big girl in Qi Mansion, all year round, two sets of clothes per season, this one on her body, is this spring's new clothes. The materials and styles are all good, but the girls' uniform work clothes are always missing a little bit of charm.

"Yes, yes," the Tong family nodded busily.

Xiangxiu hurriedly opened the suitcase, picked and chosen, and chose a pink summer shirt and summer skirt to replace the slightly heavy clothes on her body. This shirt and skirt was specially made by a famous tailor in Beijing when I first entered the house, and it cost a full five taels of silver just for workmanship. The dress is a close-fitting cut, and the Tong family discussed with the tailor and deliberately reduced the size by half an inch, and now Xiangxiu wears it on her body, the dress is close to the waist, and it is slightly tight on the chest and hips, but it sets off Xiangxiu's slender waist, plump breasts and buttocks.

The Tong family looked at their daughter and smiled.

Xiangxiu looked in the mirror, seemingly slightly dissatisfied with her face, "I used grandma's jasmine powder, why is my face still not as good as grandma." ”

The Tong family felt that it was necessary to cheer up their daughter at this time, and by the way, she taught her daughter the experience of men in the past half of her life.

"Mother's good girl, your face is not as good as grandma. Mother looks, there is no more beautiful person than you in this yard. Mother is a person who has come over, you are right to listen to your mother, this man, there is no one who does not steal. A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as stealing. Even no matter how beautiful the wife is, it can't compare to the word fresh. ”

Xiangxiu is just nitpicking about her appearance and wants more recognition, in her heart, she is still very confident in her appearance. However, after the excitement, she inevitably had some concerns.

"Mother, the temper of the fourth master, the last time I picked celery, ......"

The Tong family was a little dissatisfied with their daughter's retreat, "In the face of beauties, especially when there are no outsiders, no matter how big a man's temper is, he will become temperless." Good girl, how can Cai Qin's slut compare to you. The fourth master didn't look down on her, he didn't touch her at all, and she tricked his wife to come, so she had to be famous. How could the fourth master spare her. Good girl, you're different. If you go, if the fourth master wants to ask, he will say that grandma asked you to go. ”

Xiangxiu nodded, Cai Qin's slut wanted to harm Qi You, no matter how he died, he deserved it. She's different, she really likes Qi You.

"Good girl, you are a big girl, this is a matter of serving tea and water to the master, and no one can say anything. Once you're in, it's all up to you. It is best to succeed once, if it doesn't work, as long as you let the fourth master have you in his heart, it will be a matter of time before he ascends to the sky in one step. Mother and your father are counting on you all their lives, you are out of breath, and your father is relieved, so you won't always nag your mother for not giving him a boy, thinking about collecting hair. The Tong family earnestly advised.

"Mother, when is it, you are still nagging about this." Xiangxiu was a little impatient, and after cleaning up a little, she straightened her chest and went out with great ambition.

Walking to the door of the study, Xiangxiu cleared her throat according to her heart, and called out in a coquettish voice at the door, "Fourth master, the maid has brought tea to the fourth master." ”

After waiting for a while, there was no response from the people inside, but Xiangxiu still pushed open the door and walked in.

Turning the screen, Qi Yu was sitting upright behind the bookcase, holding the scroll in his hand, looking down at it.

Xiangxiu bent her knees and blessed her, and said softly, "The maid has brought tea to the fourth master." ”

Qi You raised his head from behind the bookcase and saw a girl in a light summer dress holding not a brewed tea, but a complete set of tea sets, followed by a little girl, carrying a kettle. Qi Yu squinted unconsciously.

Xiangxiu saw that Qi Yu did not reprimand, and was happy in her heart. The little girl took Xiangxiu's money, only brought the water in, and then withdrew. Xiangxiu looked around and saw that there was a low table under Qi You's bookcase, so she lightly placed the tea set on the low table, faced Qi You, knelt down next to the low table, and began to cook tea.

Xiangxiu pinched the orchid finger in her hand, trying to recall the appearance of the master when she was learning art, and deliberately raised her sleeves, revealing her white arms for a long time, and couldn't hear any movement from Qi You, Xiangxiu timidly peeked at it.

Qi You was still focused on the scroll in his hand, and did not look at her. Xiangxiu didn't feel a little discouraged, she tried her best to make every movement perfect and elegant, thinking that Qi You also loves the tea ceremony, and seeing her like this, she can look at her differently.

Xiangxiu took one look and couldn't help but take a second look. Because at home, Qi You's hair was simply pulled up, and the moon-white dark pattern robe was tied with a ribbon inlaid with jade pieces around his waist, which made him even more upright. Xiangxiu's gaze then fell on Qi You's face, the high bridge of the nose, the long eyebrows raised diagonally, as well as the plump and full lips, and Qi You's side face, revealing some coldness in perfection, but it made her feel even more obsessed. This is the most handsome man she has ever seen, and the family background, status and future behind this man are more like golden light. Xiangxiu's heart beat uncontrollably and violently, the man who had appeared in her dreams many times was now alone with her, close at hand.

Water spilled out of the teacup and splashed on her hands, and Xiangxiu hurriedly gathered her mind. The fragrance of tea spread, Xiangxiu stood up, held a cup of tea, and sent it to Qi You's table.

"Fourth master, please drink tea."

After saying it twice, Qi Yu finally raised his head.

Xiangxiu couldn't help blushing, turned her face slightly, but sent a reserved, shy, and flattering eye wave at Qi You, which was the result of her practice in front of the mirror for a long time.

"You know the tea ceremony?" Qi Yu asked.

"Yes, the maid studied with the master for a while when she was a child." Xiangxiu hurriedly replied.

Qi You's gaze swept over Xiangxiu's upturned fingers, and the Kodan was as red as blood.

"Are you grandma's dowry girl? What is your name? ”

"Servant, maid's name is ......" Xiangxiu just wanted to say that her name was Xiangxiu, but suddenly her mind changed. Her real name is Rouge, the name Xiangxiu, she thinks it's too ordinary and doesn't like it. However, Xun Qingran said that she wanted her to change, and she could only admit it. Once she chatted with Citron, and Citron knew her nickname, so she praised it as a good name, "It's not like what we should be called, but it's an excellent name, and it's soft and lovely." She felt that Citron's words were very good, so she complained to Citron, "This name, I didn't offend anyone, but my grandmother wants to change it." Citron just smiled at the time and said, "It's just that my sister's original name is too attractive, and I can't talk to these girls in the future, so as not to make them jealous of my sister."

Xiangxiu felt that what Citron said was right, Xun Qingran asked her to change her name, probably out of jealousy, because there was a rouge mole between Qi You's eyebrows. If Qi You knew that her name was Rouge, would he think that it was fate.

"The maid's nickname is Rouge." Xiangxiu replied shyly, raised her face as she spoke, and deliberately glanced at Qi You's eyebrows.

………………

In the back room of the Prayer Hall, Xun Qingran looked at the account book, "Qianyunxuan, is there this place in the house?" ”

The malt, jewels, and asters who were helping next to each other looked at each other.

"These days, the servants accompany grandma, and they are familiar everywhere in this house, and there is no such place." Malt Road.

Aster nodded as well.

Xun Qingran turned his head to look at the orb.

Baozhu blinked, lowered his head and thought for a long time, "The maid seems to have heard of this name. ”

Xun Qingran motioned for Baozhu to continue.

Baozhu tried to think about it for a while, and then said, "Near the pomegranate courtyard, there is a vacant lot, planted with a large area of peonies, the maid once talked to the old lady who took care of the peony, it seems that it was a small courtyard before, the old lady is old, and what she said is not clear, it seems to be called Yunxuan." The maid asked why she had changed the peony, but the old lady refused to say anything, only said that it was the master's order. ”

Xun Qingran frowned, and looked at the accounts involving Qianyunxuan in the account book again, and always felt that something seemed to be wrong.

Malt glanced at the account book in Xun Qingran's hand, the album was already yellowed, and some ink was blurred.

"Grandma, how many years ago was that, why bother looking at it."

Xun Qing dyed the account books, which were numbered by date with the sexagenary branch, which should have been nineteen years ago.

Xun Qingran handed the account book to Malt, "Find out all the account books next to the date of this account book, I want to see it." ”

Before Mai Ma could find the account book, the second lady of Qi called Xun Qingran over.

"You've worked hard, the fourth child is back, you go back and see, there will always be a time when the girls can't wait." Second Lady Qi said.

Xun Qingran agreed to come out, wondering in her heart why Second Lady Qi suddenly became so reasonable.

Xun Qingran took people back to Ning Yuanju, and as soon as they entered the courtyard gate, the Tong family greeted them anxiously.

"Grandma, grandma, help."

Xun Qingran was stunned for a moment, and his eyes also saw that on the bluestone ground under the corridor, there was a person kneeling, it was Xiangxiu.
