Chapter 125: Two Doubts

After soaking in the medicinal bath, the two sisters of the Su family brought a boiled health porridge for Situ Xi, and after discussing with Zhong Lixuan, the two of them really started working in this house for a long time for the time being, Situ Xi's yard is not small, but there are not many people in the house.

Although Chaoyue Manjun and the others are now regarded as maids in his courtyard, they still have to take care of some chores in Jinse Pavilion after all, and sometimes they are not in this house, the Su family sisters are ingenious, and their cooking skills are not bad, and they can also do some female celebrity things on weekdays, the most important thing is that Zhong Lisu and the two sisters can talk quite well, they are willing to stay at home, and Situ Xi will not refuse.

The two of them now have no fixed place to live in Xuan'an, Zhongli left them to live at home, the two hesitated and agreed, but insisted on not charging Situ Xi to give them the monthly money, Situ Xi couldn't resist the two, so he didn't mention it again.

But now that I think about it, aren't the two of them treated worse here than when they were at their uncle's, and they also provide room and board, but they will at least give them some money every month, so it seems that their side seems to be a little darker.

Of course, this is just for fun, the mediocre documents of the two of them are now kept by Zhong Lixuan, which is almost no different from burning them, and Situ Xi did not ask the two of them to do needlework to make money, as for the usual wages, they will be paid on time every month after that.

"That's right, Childe, we have completed the ink embroidery you asked for before, do you want to see it now, I'll go and get it, if there is anything dissatisfied, my sister and I will revise it again."

"It's done, thank you."

Sitting in the courtyard drinking porridge, Situ Xi heard that the ink embroidery was completed, so he became interested, nodded and asked Su Heluo to bring the finished product, and Su Hejiu on the side rushed to the room to present it.

"Childe, look."

Situ Xi took a piece of square silk from Su Hejiu's hand, this material was quite familiar to him, it should be those high-grade Chu brocades that Emperor Chu rewarded him, its hand felt extremely smooth, and it looked like a sense of luxury.

"This foundation was given to us by Madame, and on the second day after the first meeting between Childe and us, Madame specially brought the best quality silk over."

Situ Xi suddenly realized that Zhong Lixuan had gone to look for the two sisters later, and it seemed that she attached great importance to this ink embroidery.

Spreading the silk and turning it over, Situ Xi could see the pictures embroidered on it.

"'It's like a winged bird', it's a winged bird?"

The entrance is two blue and red birds nestled against each other, but they are different from ordinary birds, they each have only one eye and one wing, which is the mythical beast winged bird recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".

"Yes, it's the Oriole." Su Heluo nodded.

Situ Xi took a closer look and found that on the side of the branch under the two qualis, there were two small poems embroidered in small font.

"Married as husband and wife, there is no doubt about love." Situ Xi raised his head and looked at the two sisters in front of him.

"Childe, we cleaned up the study for you before, and the scroll with this poem on it was on the table at that time...... Please don't blame the son, I saw it by accident, but I really think this sentence is extremely beautiful, Mrs. has also said before that if this ink embroidery is not embroidered something strange and pity, I will make the decision myself...... If the son doesn't like it, this word can also be repaired. ”

Seeing Su Heluo explaining to herself quite nervously, Situ Xi couldn't help but smile, she was afraid that she would blame them for reading his manuscript without permission.

The inspiration for this bird should come from the "wish to be a winged bird in heaven, and a branch in the earth", I think Zhong Lisu shared this poem with the two of them.

And these two verses embroidered on the ink embroidery......

"It's okay, the poem is meant to be shown to the two of you, and I want you to help embroider it on this ink embroidery."

Situ Xi manages the books in the study very well, usually puts the books neatly, and the important manuscripts are also put away from being seen, and what the two of them can see is naturally something that can be seen by them.

"Huh?" Su Heluo was stunned for a moment, and after thinking about it, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It turns out that Gongzi has already planned." ”

"Yes, I am very satisfied with this ink embroidery, it is really hard for you, I will let the whisper knot the rest of the silver to you later, remember that only the deposit was given at that time......"

Su Heluo didn't shirk, nodded and came down, and when she saw Situ Xi saying that she was satisfied, she was completely relieved, this hair embroidery was their first attempt, and she was afraid that Situ Xi would not like it.

"It's good if Childe likes it, this idea is actually mostly thought by Jiu'er, Mrs. said the poem that Childe wrote for her that day with Jiu'er, Childe and look, what this bird inhabits is Lian Lizhi, and these two trees are also red bean trees chosen by Jiu'er......"

Following Su Heluo's fingers, Situ Xi found that the branches under the pair of birds were indeed from two different trees, as for the red bean tree selected for this tree, it must have taken the meaning of lovesickness, and Su Hejiu was really attentive.

"I'm worried about labor and wine, and I'll cook and treat the two of you another day when I'm free."

Situ Xi turned his head to look at Su Hejiu, and praised her half-jokingly, but saw that she was quite embarrassed, and shook his hand at him with a red face, "My craftsmanship is not as dexterous as my sister's, the first time I tried this ink embroidery, it caused a lot of trouble to my sister, most of this ink embroidery was embroidered by her, so it's good if the son can like it." ”

Su Heluo just took his sister's hand when he heard this, and didn't dwell with her about who should be attributed to this ink embroidery, as for what Situ Xi said about cooking in person, both of them just regarded it as a joke.

"Okay, don't be modest, I'll accept this ink embroidery first, don't tell the lady about this matter for the time being, I'll embroider this ink to her myself later."

"We get it."

……

Yanfu is located in the east of Xuan'an City, its mansion is not small, the old man Yan Yan held the post of Zhongshu in the court, although the Zhongshu has no real power in this Chu State, almost equivalent to an honorary title, but when the old man Yan was young, he also held an important position in the court, and the holy family was quite strong.

Old man Yan has a wide range of friends on weekdays, is knowledgeable, and has a high reputation in this Xuan'an city.

But I don't want to think that not much time has passed, and the Yanfu, which was also once prosperous in Xuan'an, has declined, and the things in the world are so unpredictable, especially in the imperial city, the vicissitudes of life may happen in a thought.

After Situ Xi and Zhong Lixuan finished breakfast, they came to the gate of Yanfu, accompanied by a group of guards.

As rumored, Yanfu was surrounded by the forbidden army, especially in front of the gate, which was guarded by eight soldiers.

The plaque of the Yan family was no longer hanging on the door at this time, but was taken down and placed next to the steps in front of the door.

The courtyard of the deep house, heavily guarded, and no one made the slightest sound, this atmosphere is really a little worrying, and there are no extra passers-by next to the house, and the pedestrians on the street have deliberately bypassed this side of the street.

When Situ Xi saw this, he couldn't help but shake his head, and after that, he tidied up his clothes and walked towards the gate of Yanfu with Zhong Li.

"Stop, idlers are forbidden to approach Yanfu."
