Li Zishu turned his head sideways, glanced at the maid Si Qi beside him, and the smile on his face did not diminish at all, but he saw that Si Qi had a chill down his spine, and unconsciously took half a step back, and fell to Mrs. Jiang Shi on her side with the heavy brocade box she was holding.

"Beware!" Next to the covered bridge, a woman spoke clearly, although she was a little anxious, but she did not show half a panic.

Before everyone on the bridge could react, they saw a scarlet figure flashing by, one step ahead of the young ladies and maids, blocking in front of Jiang's body, raising their hands to hold the almost fallen maid Siqi and the heavy brocade box in her hand.

Jiang Shi, who was forced to stumble by Si Qi, who almost fell, took half a step back, and then stabilized his body.

Li Zishu turned around, and saw that the woman who stepped forward was Lian Feiyu, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, who had just opened her mouth to explain the water pumice stone to everyone, and couldn't help but look up and down again.

I saw that she was born demure and gentle, with a double ring on her head and a fairy bun wrapped only with a few hairbands of the same color as her clothes, and the hair ornament on her head was just an inconspicuous tassel hairpin, and the crimson tunic skirt she wore on her body was the most fashionable and comfortable Shu brocade material in the imperial capital at the moment, and the rest of the decorations or skirt styles could not see much freshness.

Li Zishu smiled on her face, and said secretly in her heart: Such a woman, if it weren't for her father Lian Wei is a household scholar, she just overpowered her father, at today's banquet, I wonder what qualifications she Lian Feiyu has to be held by the stars and flattered.

"There are a lot of people here, so you have to be more careful." After stabilizing Si Qi and the heavy brocade box in her hand, Lian Feiyu spoke, still with gentle and kind words, but there was no lack of the unique bearing of the master of the family.

"Miss Lian is supporting my useless maid." Li Zishu glanced at her maid, with reproach on her face, and her voice was unusually soft and glutinous, "You girl, you can't even hold a box, and let the sister of the Lian family deign to help you as a slave, don't you thank Miss Lian for her kindness?" ”

Si Qi hurriedly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to Lian Feiyu and said, "Slave Si Qi, thank you for Miss Lian's great kindness." ”

"It's okay, get up." Lian Feiyu saw that the two of them were like this, and his expression did not change in the slightest.

However, Mrs. Jiang Shi on the side opened her mouth, "Yu'er, show me your hand." ”

"Mrs. Xi doesn't need to worry about Fei Yu, Fei Yu is fine, it's just a pity that her grandmother left Fei Yu's bracelet." Lian Feiyu's face was sad for a moment, and after wrapping the jade bracelet on his hand with a handkerchief, he was relieved, "Fortunately, Mrs. Xi is fine." ”

The young ladies who were closer to Lian Feiyu had a sudden change in expression on their faces after seeing the phoenix blood jade bracelet on her wrist that was broken in two by the brocade box.

Phoenix blood jade, named after the blood of the phoenix in the jade, is an extremely rare psychic ancient jade.

For ordinary people, it is not said to be worn, even if you look at it from afar, it is a great honor.

And Lian Feiyu, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, said that the phoenix blood jade bracelet was left to her by her grandmother, not mentioning the treasure at all, just as she was praised by many young ladies that the water pumice stone in her home was more exquisite, her face was also very indifferent, and she smiled, without half of the intention of showing off.

While Lian Feiyu was talking, her hand had been raised by Mrs. Jiang Shi, and she gently lifted the corner of her sleeve, "Is this called okay?" Jiang Shi looked at the flesh on Lian Feiyu's right wrist that was cut by the broken jade bracelet, his tone was a little reproachful, but his eyes were full of pity.

Jiang Shifu instructed the personal maid again: "Zisu, quickly send Dr. Zhang of the Mansion to come." ”

"Yes." The maid named Shisu received the order and immediately turned to leave.

Originally, she only felt that Lian Feiyu stood up for the limelight, but at this moment she realized that the situation was not as simple as she thought in her heart, and she couldn't help but glance at the maid under her feet again.

Mrs. Jiang, who was helped back to the soft collapse by the maid red ginseng, raised Lian Feiyu's injured wrist, blew lightly, and said worriedly: "If it weren't for saving me, Yu'er wouldn't have been injured, would it still hurt?" ”

When Jiang Shi spoke, he didn't even look at Li Zishu, who was still ugly, and Siqi, a maid who was still kneeling on the ground.

"Thank you Mrs. Xi for your concern, Fei Yu is just a gesture, and the small injury on his wrist is now out of the way." Lian Feiyu still spoke softly.

"Still calling Mrs. West?" Mrs. Xi's face was slightly reproachful, "I remember when you were a child, you always called my aunt. ”

"Yes, Fei Yu, thank you aunt."

"It's really distressing to see such a gentle sister hurt." Outside the Lake Center Pavilion, a young child's crisp voice came, and his words were inadvertently matched with his age.

When everyone heard this, they all looked forward to it.

I saw Xi Jiangyue, the daughter of the general Xifu in a light gauze plain skirt, and Haoyue, who was wearing a red pleated fairy skirt, holding a young child with very delicate facial features.

I only heard that the girl who was dressed in a light veil and had unusually good-looking eyebrows and eyes said: "Thank you Miss Li for your kindness, it's just that this water pumice stone is too peculiar, and there is no scenery that can match it in my Xifu, and I have to bother Miss Li to take it back." ”

As soon as Xi Jiangyue said this, she saw that several maids who were close to the covered bridge had salvaged the two water pumice stones in the lake and held them with both hands.

Seeing this, the smile on her face suddenly became a little stiff, but the two water pumice stones were bought by a master with a lot of money from her lips and tongue a few days ago, and she didn't want Xi Jiangyue to be so ignorant, but for the sake of face, she had to endure and said: "Sister Xi, these two water pumice stones are just a plaything, and they are placed in this lake casually, and when the autumn and winter wind and snow are killed, the green leaves and red flowers are also a scene." ”

"Miss Lao Li is bothered, but the third aunt has always been kind-hearted, if she sees this water pumice stone again in the future, she will definitely think of Miss Feiyu's injury to save herself today, Jiang Yue can't bear to see the third aunt again, blame herself, this water pumice stone is still tired of Miss Li take it back."

Lizi was anxious, and her heart was even more depressed, she never thought that she couldn't give gifts today, but was blamed by others, thinking that when she was in Yuzhou, where did she encounter such humiliation.

Just when Li Zishu was looking for an excuse to escape, he saw that the young child who had originally come with Haoyue unconsciously squatted down, carefully looked at the two stones in the brocade box, and asked curiously: "Why does this stone float on the surface of the lake?" ”

The child's words gave a step to Lizi, who was suffocating his grievances and had nowhere to vent.

Especially when she saw the look of surprise on Haoyue's face, her mood instantly improved.

Lizi bought two pieces of water pumice stones with a lot of money, which was originally intended to overwhelm the celebrities and ladies in the imperial capital today, especially Haoyue, who had humiliated her in the Mingyue Tower.

"Smack!"

"Oops." The childish boy sighed lightly and said regretfully: "Sister Haoyue, Xun'er accidentally broke these two stones by mistake. ”
