Chapter 3 Gu Xiu's heirs
After coming out of Rongsong Courtyard, Su Wanqiu returned to his Moxiang Courtyard.
The first rain served tea, Su Wanqiu took a sip and leaned on the soft collapse, closed her eyes and closed her eyes to recuperate, thinking that she would make the eldest lady suffer a secret loss today, she would definitely not let go of herself.
Just as he was thinking about it, he suddenly heard a commotion from the courtyard outside, Su Wanqiu's face was as calm as water, and said, "First rain, you go and take a look." ”
Chu Yu followed his words, and after a while, he came in from outside the door and said, "Miss, it's just a few ignorant girls who have quarreled, and the slave has already punished them." ”
"Tell me specifically?" Su Wanqiu seemed to ask casually.
Chu Yu was secretly frightened, although the young lady was still as gentle and quiet as before in front of people these days, she served Su Wanqiu closely, and she only felt that Su Wanqiu always had a kind of momentum on her body, so deep and cold, which made people tremble.
"There was a girl who did embroidery, and the embroidery was dirty, so there was a dispute."
When Su Wanqiu heard this, a faint smile appeared on her face: "Qingyan? ”
Chu Yu lowered his eyebrows: "Yes." ”
"Let her in." Su Wanqiu's thin lips curled, as if she was smiling.
When Qing Yan stepped into the inner room, he only felt extremely worried in his heart, bowed his head and knelt down, his eyes lowered, deeply covering the look on his face, and said in a low voice: "Slave Qing Yan has seen Miss." ”
In her previous life, it was Qing Yan who ruined her reputation and reputation, Su Wanqiu's eyes sank a shadow, and she was just about to open her mouth to expel Qing Yan from the courtyard, but when the words came to her mouth, her mind changed, and she asked: "I heard that your embroidery was dirty?" ”
"Yes."
"I don't know what kind of embroidery it is, so show it to me." Su Wanqiu glanced at Qing Yan at the end of her eyes and said lightly.
Qing Yan quietly looked up at Su Wanqiu, only to see that her eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and her slender willow eyebrows were bent like the moon when she was not smiling, and she had a beautiful and romantic mood, and there seemed to be a gentle water-like aura on her body, which made people can't help but want to get close, but when she looked closely, her eyes seemed to sink into a cold night-like emotion, which was unpredictable.
Chu Yu took the embroidery from Qing Yan's hand and unfolded it and put it in front of Su Wanqiu's eyes.
I saw that the embroidered cloth was blooming with delicate begonias like fire, the shades were different, and the color seemed to be stained on the embroidered cloth, lifelike, amazing.
"I've never seen your embroidery method, so it's not the embroidery girl who studied under Linchuan." Su Wanqiu put down the embroidered cloth and said with a light smile.
Qing Yan was worried in her heart, thinking about the instructions of the eldest lady that day, her eyes turned red, her voice was a little choked, and her tail voice trembled a little: "If Miss Hui speaks, the slave maid is not from Linchuan." ”
"Why did you cry when you were talking? First rain, let her sit down and talk. Su Wanqiu's voice was gentle, like a spring breeze, and Qing Yan's originally restless heart calmed down at once.
As the eldest lady said, Su Wanqiu is just a little girl, she is ignorant of the world and kind-hearted, as long as she plays to the end, how can Su Wanqiu not pity her and trust her.
"The ancestors of the slave maid are from the capital, and often go in and out of the palace to do embroidery work for the ladies and nobles in the palace, but the ancestors of the slave maid unintentionally offended the maiden in the palace, and they were sentenced to death on the spot, and the rest of the family members were also expelled from the capital, and they were not allowed to enter Beijing for generations." Qing Yan seemed to suppress his emotions and said reluctantly, but the expression on his face was already very sad, "Later, fortunately, the Hou Ye took him in, and the slave and maid could work in the house, otherwise I don't know how long I would have to be lonely." ”
Qing Yan's words were actually full of loopholes, and Su Wanqiu actually believed it in her previous life, but because of Qing Yan's pitiful attitude, she had a mocking smile on her lips, and said softly: "I see, I really pity you, I think your embroidery method should be Gu Xiu, who was once famous, right?" ”
Gu embroidery pays attention to half embroidery and half painting, so the embroidery character is extraordinarily realistic, but Gu embroidery is not the four famous embroideries after all, the heirs are scarce, and there are few people in the world.
Qing Yan was taken aback: "Miss recognizes Gu Xiu?" She thought that the third lady who stayed at home couldn't recognize this embroidery method at all, and was about to open her mouth to render it, which made Su Wanqiu feel her uniqueness.
"It's just that I learned about it by accident, but you, not only know how to embroider stitches, but also be so skillful that you can teach people to be amazed." Su Wanqiu said gently.
Qing Yan lowered her head deeply, so that Su Wanqiu couldn't see the emotions on her face.
"Since there is such an embroidery method, it's a pity to be a girl who does rough work, so I will mention the second-class girl first, and work in the inner courtyard."
This is a great grace, Qing Yan hurriedly knelt down and thanked him.
Seeing that Su Wanqiu sent Qing Yan out, the expression on Chu Yu's face was very strange.
Su Wanqiu glanced at her and smiled softly, "What's wrong?" What are you thinking? ”
"The slave just can't understand, since she has such a skill, how can she just be a girl doing rough work in our yard? And ......" Chu Yu was a little eager to say something, but looking at Su Wanqiu's smile on her face, she motioned for her to continue, and continued, "She said that the embroidery was stained, but just now the slave maid saw that the embroidery was not stained and had not been defaced, as if she was deliberately causing trouble to attract the attention of the young lady." ”
Su Wanqiu nodded, there was a coldness in her eyes, but she couldn't see half of it on her face, she said softly: "You are right, send someone to keep an eye on her." ”
"Since Miss has already seen it, why did she mention her as a second-class girl?" Chu Yu was obviously very puzzled, thinking that Miss mentioned Qingyan last night, she should have expected it a long time ago.
"If she has ulterior motives, even if we guard against Qingyan, there will be others who will make trouble, it is better to put Qingyan in front of her and watch it, so that she can rest assured and let us feel at ease." Su Wanqiu showed a very faint smile in her eyes, and there was another sentence that she had never said, and she could still beat it up when the time came, so that the eldest lady couldn't say it.
Chu Yu was a little surprised, and didn't know who the "she" in Miss's mouth was referring to, but when she saw that Miss leaned back on the soft collapse to rest, she suppressed the doubts in her heart and didn't open her mouth to disturb Miss's tranquility.
At this moment, Su Wanqiu thought in her heart that within a few days, the eldest son Su Jin would return from a study tour in Jiangdu.
Pingyang Hou Su Yu has only one son-in-law, that is, Su Jin, who was originally married to the Xie family, and is also the brother of Su Wanqiu's mother, and the relationship between their brother and sister is naturally excellent.
Su Wanqiu still remembers that when the fourth prince Ming Rong asked to marry him, Su Jin's desperate appearance, but it was a pity that he was ignorant at the time, and he still married Ming Rong, and now he knows that the best person in the world for himself is not Lang Jun, who was as affectionate as poetry that day, but his brother who has always been by his side.
