Su Yingxue couldn't help laughing out loud when she saw Qin Ziqing's deflated face.

"I'm really sorry, because something happened, so I ......" Su Yingxue suddenly wanted to ask about Ziyan's delivery of Sihe soup yesterday, I don't know if she did anything out of order, and if she was serious about her.

Seeing that she wanted to speak and stopped, Qin Ziqing remembered the scene she had just seen, and said, "There is one thing I need to mention to you." ”

"What's the matter?"

"Last night, the maid you sent someone to bring me soup should be sent away as soon as possible. When she was with you during the day, she looked like she knew how to be polite, who would have thought that she would come to me alone yesterday to deliver something, with frivolous words and dissolute behavior. Such a person is not suitable for you, and I am afraid that she will cause you trouble in the future. ”

Su Yingxue laughed when she heard this: "Are you a worm in my stomach?" I was about to tell you about her, and you did. ”

"That means we have a heart." Qin Ziqing took the opportunity to say, seeing that Su Yingxue was about to have another seizure, he hurriedly said, "Good sister, how did you find out?" ”

Su Yingxue said: "Where did I ask her to send you any soup?" It was Pei'er who inadvertently said that the Sihe soup she cooked for her mother was brought to you by Ziyan, and I asked about it after a little torture, and handed it over to my mother this morning......"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Qin Ziqing looking like he was about to vomit, looking very scary, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?" But did you have a bad stomach? Ziyun, go get a doctor! ”

"No, no, I'll just rest for a while." Qin Ziqing felt unspeakably uncomfortable in his heart, he thought that the bowl of soup was sent by Su Yingxue, he not only drank it, but even held the bowl in reverie. What to do, I want to vomit when I think about it, but I can't let people know why he wants to vomit. I really want to cry without tears.

Su Yingxue saw that he seemed embarrassed, so she came to make fun of him: "Is there something else yesterday that you didn't tell me?" ”

Qin Ziqing was frightened when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "What's there, I'm just greedy for a few glasses of wine yesterday, and my stomach is a little uncomfortable." ”

Su Yingxue saw that his face was pale, but it didn't seem to be a lie, so she ordered someone to cook a soup to warm her stomach.

Qin Ziqing hurriedly stopped: "Don't bother. I'm here to say goodbye to you, and I'll be home in a moment, and I won't be able to wait for your soup. Speaking of which, Qin Ziqing just wanted to cry in her heart, Su Yingxue asked her to help her make soup, but he couldn't drink it, but he drank all the soup sent by others! Can anyone tell him how to spit out yesterday's stuff?

Su Yingxue was not reluctant, but said: "I don't have anything to do here for the time being, you don't have to worry about it." It's not too early, you go back as soon as possible, I won't send it. ”

Don't send it? Why can't you send it to me? Qin Ziqing secretly slandered.

"Alright, I'll take the time to see you again."

Su Yingxue nodded and smiled as an answer.

Qin Ziqing went outside to say goodbye to Su's mother, as soon as Su's mother came to deal with something, she couldn't take care of him, and besides, this was someone's own son after all, and it was time to go back, so she didn't force her to stay.

When it was dark that day, Su Yingxue returned to her courtyard, and when she saw that the brocade box on the table was still there, she sat down and opened it to see.

Seeing this, Pei'er hurriedly came over to take a look.

I saw Su Yingxue open the box, but inside was a boxy and upright black wooden box. However, this box couldn't find an opening, Su Yingxue looked around and looked around, but she didn't see why. caused Pei'er to shout: "Could this be that Young Master Qin misplaced, took a stone and put it in?" ”

Su Yingxue didn't believe it, so she ordered someone to light the lamp again and illuminate the table transparently. Su Yingxue looked closely, and finally found that one of the bamboos was lying on the ground on the painting of the bamboo carved on the outside of the small box, and there were several bamboo poles that could be moved. Su Yingxue gently pressed down the bamboo, only to hear a few clicks, and the box opened by itself, causing Pei'er to cheer.

When a few people looked at it, they saw that there was a green jade plum hairpin in the open box, Su Yingxue picked it up, and only felt that this jade tentacle was warm and moist, and the light was recognizable, and it was indeed a good hosta on the branch.

Pei'er said: "With so much effort, did Young Master Qin only send a broken hosta?" ”

Su Yingxue smiled dumbly: "Brother Ziqing is afraid that he will vomit blood when he hears your words." However, Su Yingxue felt that Qin Ziqing had spent so much effort, it couldn't be as simple as just keeping a hairpin. So, continue to look for clues on the box. In the end, I saw a dent on the inside of the box, but when I looked closely, it was a plum blossom picture. Su Yingxue touched her finger on the plum blossom diagram one by one, but the box still did not move. At one last glance, I caught a glimpse of the hosta placed on my side, picked it up, and put one end of the plum blossom on the dent, and sure enough, I heard a few sounds, and the box opened another layer, but it was a letter and a package of oiled paper wrapped in something. Su Yingxue opened the letter and saw that it read:

"Sister Xue'er, I see the words like well. Spring and autumn have passed, the white horse has passed through the gap, and my sister has stood gracefully. Thinking about the entertainment of childhood laughter, it is still yesterday. Brother and sister have been obsessed with flowers and plants for several years, and this time they traveled, looking for strange flowers and plants in the places they passed, looking for people and asking for seeds, and got dozens of flowers. The place and situation of his flower growth have been recorded by his brother and attached to the letter. Talk about the heart, in order to wish my sister and Lu the joy. Brother, Ziqing. ”

When the maids saw this letter, they all praised it. The Su family is a big family in Yangzhou, and there are many people who want to make friends with Su Mansion, and the daughters in those boudoirs are emphasized by their parents to please Su Yingxue. Su Yingxue received a lot of gifts this time, of course, her parents also gave her gifts, but none of them were as attentive as Qin Ziqing.

Pei'er said: "Girl, Young Master Qin is so attentive. ”

Su Yingxue was also moved in her heart, her heart was surging, but she couldn't say anything. He put away his things and said, "It's getting late today, serve me and rest." ”

A few maids only said that the girl was shy, pursed her lips and snickered to serve Su Yingxue to rest, and retreated without saying anything.

Su Yingxue was lying on the bed, just with mixed feelings. Because Qin Ziqing is the son-in-law recognized by her parents, Su Yingxue is always resisting this matter in her heart, always thinking about how to destroy her parents' thoughts, but now it seems that not only can she not be broken, but she also has to be moved to accept him. Fallen movable bamboo, green jade plum hairpin. Qin Ziqing hinted at his heart to himself in his own way. Childhood sweethearts, about the love that many boudoir daughters yearn for. Qin Ziqing is indeed very good, but Su Yingxue always feels that something is missing, but she doesn't know what is missing. Let alone break this dilemma.

In infinite worry, Su Yingxue fell asleep.

Early the next morning, Su Yingxue woke up, hastily had breakfast, and took Pei'er into her secret place, the flower garden.

Among the several seeds Qin Ziqing collected, several were suitable for winter planting, and while spring had not yet arrived, Su Yingxue decided to give it a try.

After planting the seeds according to the method written in Qin Ziqing's book, Su Yingxue slightly adjusted the soil, humidity and other conditions selected for planting for comparative observation. By the time everything had been set up and registered, it was past noon.

In the flower garden, Su Yingxue chose a special person to manage it, calling the two girls of Wenxin and Xiulian. Both of them were the daughters of literati, who were sold into slavery due to changes in their families, and both of them were literate, understood etiquette, and had some knowledge of their own. Over the years, they have some attainments in flowers and plants, and Su Yingxue has entrusted them with various affairs.

Su Yingxue saw that the hour had passed, so she cleaned her hands in the flower garden and ordered someone to put lunch in the flower garden and eat with a few people. This is not the first time that this situation is not the first time, Wen Xin and Xiulian sat down generously, but Pei'er came to the flower garden for the first time, they used to come from Ziyan and Ziyun, seeing Su Yingxue say this, Wenxin and Xiulian had also taken their seats, so they sat down happily, and the meal was delicious.

Pei'er entered this flower garden today, and saw a lot of things that she couldn't think of or do, and she couldn't help but be excited. After eating, Su Yingxue took her for a walk in the garden.

"Pei'er, you're eleven years old this year?"

"Yes, girl, in six months, I'll be twelve."

"Well, I'll take you to the flower garden today, do you know my intentions?"

"Intentions? Doesn't the girl want me to learn from you and be your right-hand man? Pei'er quickly used a newly learned word to show that she was also a learned person.

Su Yingxue saw her cute shape and praised: "That's right." Looks like you're really big. Those who know how to read people also know how to do things. It's just that you are lively by nature, and I have to mention you. The things in this garden were just my own pastime, but now it has a lot to do with the business of our house, so you must not tell anyone about the things in the garden. Do you understand? ”

"Don't worry, girl, although Pei'er doesn't know why she can't tell others about the things here, but since the girl has commanded, it must be right, and I will never tell anyone outside. If I say it, I will never be able to eat Qianlitang's peach blossom cake again. ”

Su Yingxue saw her serious appearance, and listened to her swear, and felt that she was very cute. At the moment, I was relieved, and I went back to my room to rest and not say anything.

Because of the busy past two days, Su Yingxue woke up this afternoon, and it was already Shen Shi.

Ziyun waited for Su Yingxue to freshen up, and replied: "Madame sent someone to ask the girl to come over to talk, I saw that the girl rarely slept well today, so I replied that the girl was very tired in the flower garden in the morning, and she had already fallen asleep, and she would go back when the girl woke up." Madame specially sent someone to bring ginseng soup to replenish the girl's vitality, and now it is simmering in the small kitchen. ”

"Do you know what my mother called me?"

"I inquired with Lan Ruo, who came to pass the message, and she said that she was also guessing, and it was estimated that it was because the matter of Ziyan yesterday had not been properly handled, so she came to look for the girl."

Su Yingxue already understood in her heart, so she asked Ziyun to fetch the ginseng soup to use, and sent someone back to her mother, saying that she would say it later.

With the ginseng soup, Su Yingxue only felt warm and energetic. Take Ziyun and Pei'er to her mother's room.
