In the blink of an eye, the weather was hot, and the trees were screaming endlessly. Because she was afraid that Xiao Xiwei's wound would be infected, Lao Taijun ordered someone to move three or four ice kettles and put them in her room early in the morning, which was as hot as a stove outside, but it was indescribably cool in her room.

On this day, Xiao Xiwei was sitting in front of the chaise longue embroidering paintings, but saw Biyun happily walking in with a few sets of summer clothes.

"Miss, the summer dress is ready, the slave maid picked these, are you still satisfied?"

Xiao Xi didn't raise his head slightly, and said 'um' casually, then lowered his head to embroider again.

"Miss, you didn't even look at it." Biyun put his clothes aside and leaned his head towards Xiao Xiwei, "Hey, miss, what are you embroidering here?" Why isn't it a blue line or a black line? ”

"You'll know when the time comes." Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and a bright smile curled up at the corner of his mouth.

Biyun stretched out his hand and snatched the needle from Xiao Xiwei's hand, stared at Xiao Xiwei and said seriously, "Miss, did you forget that Imperial Doctor Huang told you to recuperate?" Don't embroider anymore! ”

"But I was scratched by a wild cat, how can it be so serious, return the needle to me!" Xiao Xi looked at Biyun with some helplessness.

"Don't give it!" Biyun wrinkled his eyebrows and shook his head seriously.

"Miss, Biyun is right, don't be too sad." Mama Cui followed and persuaded beside her.

The corner of Xiao Xiwei's eyes swept over Mama Cui, and saw that although she had a smile on her face, there was a trace of indescribable embarrassment and apprehension.

Xiao Xi withdrew his gaze without a trace, and glanced at Biyun helplessly, "Okay, I won't embroider!" ”

Seeing her compromise, Biyun smiled and put away all the needlework and embroidery.

Catching a glimpse of Biyun's beaming appearance, Xiao Xi smiled and quipped, "Why are you so happy today?" Isn't it going out to pick up money? ”

Biyun raised her eyebrows, and her eyes widened with a smile, "This is happier than picking up money." ”

"Oh?" Xiao Xiwei was also interested.

Biyun smiled again, leaned his head in front of Xiao Xiwei, and said with a smile, "Miss, do you know what Ah Liang told me when he sent Xia Shang into the mansion?" “

In the past, Jinxiufang only sold silk brocade shipped from the south of the Yangtze River, and only after gaining a foothold in the capital in the past two years did it begin to hire a tailor to make clothes for people. In previous years, Houfu took the brocade from the Splendid Workshop every year and handed it over to another cloth village called Xiangruifang, but this time the old lady personally handed over the work to the Splendid Workshop.

The clothes in the Houfu are made by Jinxiufang or Xiangruifang, they are just trivial matters, and the old lady suddenly cares about these trivial matters, so he can't help but think about it. According to Xiao Xi, it was about that day that what she said made the old lady suspicious. The Qi family boasted about the fact that Haikou bought Yunzhong brocade for the ladies during the banquet, as long as they inquired a little, they would know, and then take advantage of the situation to check, it is not difficult to find out that this auspicious square is actually the private property of the Li family. Li's empty-handed white wolf played very beautifully, but once it was found out, the last bit of trust that the old lady had in her was completely wiped out. On other days, even if she lifts the grounding, I am afraid that the old lady will not hand over the power of the housekeeper to her again!

"What?"

Biyun laughed out loud with a 'poof', "He said that Mrs. Li came to buy Yunzhong brocade with a bitter face again. ”

Mrs. Li said that it was naturally the Qi family.

Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and he didn't feel a little smiling.

It seems that the Qi clan picked up the stone and smashed himself not lightly this time! Presumably, when those ladies saw that she could really buy Yunzhongjin at such a cheap price, they took silver one by one and asked her to buy more!

The master and servant were smiling, and a delicate figure suddenly walked in outside the door. "What is the second sister laughing at? It's better to say it and make my sister happy! ”

Xiao Xi raised her head slightly, and saw that the person who came was wearing a pale pink full-breasted embroidered skirt, with a chic step-up lotus crystal tassel hairpin on her head, and with her steps, the tassel swayed lightly, reflecting the smug smile on the corner of her lips, which was Xiao Xile who had not been seen for a long time.

"I heard Mama Liu say that my sister was calm in the ancestral hall, and she learned the rules very carefully, I still wanted to take a look at my sister, but I didn't expect my sister to come out." Xiao Xi smiled faintly.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Xile didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "No." As soon as I came out, I heard that my sister had been scratched on the face by a wild cat, so I rushed to see her. It's strange that you say it, I've never heard of cats scratching people, sister, you said that the wild cat is hungry and treats you as a ...... That's it! Xiao Xile said and winked innocently at Xiao Xiwei.

"Third Miss, what did you say!" Biyun was not as calm as Hongyu, and when he heard Xiao Xile's words, he immediately became angry.

"Sister, don't worry, that wild cat has ordered someone to pick its skin and stew a pot of soup, think about it, it has no chance to treat my sister as a ...... That's it. Xiao Xiwei stared at Xiao Xile's eyes, and the curvature of the smile on the corner of his lips was still beautiful.

"You...... You ...... that cat."

"That cat tastes really good, if my sister likes it, I'll let someone catch another one to stew pot soup for my sister to drink, how about it?"

"You ......" Xiao Xile stared at Xiwei like a monster, and only after saying a word, there was a burst of nausea rolling in her stomach, she 'vomited', and finally couldn't help but cover her mouth and rush out of the room with two small heads.

Xiao Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, picked up a cup of hot tea casually, gently blew the steaming heat in the cup, and took a sip slowly.

"Miss...... That, that cat is really ......" Mama Cui looked at Xiao Xiwei and felt a little hairy in her heart.

Since she admitted her identity in front of Xiao Xiwei, she has been staying in her room these days. The news that Xiao Xiwei was scratched by a cat, she also heard it from others.

Xiao Xi glanced at Mama Cui slightly, the corners of her lips lifted slightly, and said, "I'll just say that casually." How? Didn't Mama really think I couldn't drink that cat stew? ”

Mama Cui sighed in her heart, her face was gray, she hadn't spoken, but Biyun next to her had already 'squeaked' out laughing.

"Miss originally just wanted to scare and scare the third miss, but I didn't expect that even you would be scared!"

Biyun is not more stable than Hongyu, so Xiao Xiwei didn't tell her about Grandma Cui's betrayal, she couldn't help but feel a little funny when she saw Grandma Cui's frightened face.

Mama Cui laughed awkwardly a few times, and then hung her head and didn't dare to answer again.

Xiao Xi tugged at the corners of his mouth slightly, as if he hadn't seen it, and lowered his head and took another sip of tea.

After a few days, the wound on Xiao Xiwei's forehead scabbed. She sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at the few distinct scars on her forehead, and the resentment in her heart could not be suppressed.

"Miss, what kind of bun would you like to comb today?" Sensing that Xiao Xiwei's expression was wrong, Ziyan stepped forward and said.

"Whatever you want." Xiao Xi closed his eyes slightly.

Ziyan gritted her teeth, turned around and took a pair of scissors and cut off a lot of hair on Xiao Xiwei's hair.

"Purple Smoke, what are you doing!" Mama Cui turned pale with fright, and hurriedly stepped forward to grab Ziyan's hand, pulling her to kneel on the ground in a hurry, "Don't you ask Miss for guilt." ”

The so-called parents of the body are easily unable to move. But she didn't expect Ziyan to have such the courage to cut Miss's hair.

Xiao Xi opened his eyes slightly, looking at the cut green silk in the mirror just covering the scar on his forehead.

Seeing that Xiao Xi didn't speak for a long time, Ziyan finally couldn't hold back a little, and hurriedly bowed down and said, "Miss, forgive me, slave maid...... Slave ......"

Before she could think of her words, Xiao Xi's slightly cold voice sounded, "What are you doing kneeling there, don't comb my hair for me." ”

The tight string in Ziyan's heart loosened suddenly, and she got up in a panic, the fear on her face had not completely subsided, and she only replied, "Yes." After speaking, he hurriedly ran behind Xiao Xiwei and neatly pulled a Suiyun bun for her, and picked out a pink jade magnolia tassel hairpin from the jewelry box and inserted it into her sideburns.

Xiao Xiwei looked at himself in the mirror, because of the cut bangs, his eyes became darker and brighter, and he couldn't help but smile when he caught a glimpse of Ziyan behind the mirror with a worried look, "According to the rules, there should be four first-class girls in my room, but now there are only two Biyun and Hongyu, and now the red rain injury is not healed, from today on, you will be promoted to a first-class girl." ”

"Slave, slave, thank you for your grace." Ziyan hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed slightly to Xiao Xi.

There were already beads of sweat in the palms of the wooden combs, but it didn't matter, because she knew that this time she had won the bet.

Mama Cui looked at the purple smoke with joy, opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, she didn't say anything in the end.

This time is different from the past, although Miss didn't care about her on the surface, she always felt that Miss always had a little bit of a problem with her, and she was not as close and trusting as before.

After freshening up, Xiao Xiwei asked someone to take a lotus-colored smoke yarn loose flower skirt and put it on, and then prepared to go to Jingyuan to say goodbye to the old lady.

Before he stepped into the house, he heard the hearty laughter of the old lady in the house.

"What makes grandmother so happy!" Xiao Xiwei saluted and said to the old lady.

Seeing Xiao Xiwei coming, the old lady hurriedly motioned to Mama Liu to help her up, "Didn't you let you take care of your injuries?" Why did you come all the way here? Is the wound on your head getting better? ”

Xiao Xi smiled and said, "But how can it be so serious to be scratched by a cat." Besides, Imperial Doctor Huang said that as long as you apply the medicine on time in the future, there will be no scars left in the future! After speaking, the corner of her eye glanced at Xiao Xile, and sure enough, a trace of unwillingness flashed in her eyes.

"Then pay more attention!" The old lady stretched out her hand and took Xiao Xiwei's hand and sat on the Luohan bed together.

Xiao Xi, who came to greet the old lady early in the morning, couldn't help but feel a little surprised when she saw the old lady so close to Xiao Xiwei, but she didn't dare to show it on her face, so she only smiled and said to Xiao Xiwei, "Grandmother is right, my sister should still listen to the doctor and rest more." ”

Xiao Xi pursed his lips slightly, noncommittal to Xiao Xile's words, "By the way, what made grandmother so happy just now!" ”

At the mention of this, the old lady hurriedly smiled and picked up a letter from the table and handed it to Xiao Xiwei, "It's not the next one, but it's your brother!" This kid, who followed his grandfather to Wucheng for so long, has not heard from him all year round, and now he remembers to write a letter to my old wife. ”

"Brother!" Xiao Xi's eyes lit up slightly.

"Yes! He said he was coming back to congratulate me on my birthday! Speaking of his eldest grandson, the old lady couldn't hide the smile in his eyes.

"Really?" Xiao Xiwei was also overjoyed, and hurriedly took the letter in the old lady's hand and looked at it at a glance.

"No!" The old lady smiled so much that her eyes widened, and the depression that had been piled up for days was swept away.

"When will my brother arrive at the house?" Xiao Xi raised his eyes slightly, looked at the old lady, and asked impatiently.

The old lady patted Xiao Xiwei's hand and said with a smile, "Look at this kid's hurry, it's so far from Wucheng to the capital, even if you ride a horse without sleep, it will take seven or eight days." ”

Xiao Xi smiled embarrassedly, but his heart was full of anticipation for the returnee who came back from Wucheng.
