Chapter 17: Becoming Friends
The room was silent, even the wind outside the window stopped, and the air was quiet.
Xiao Yunmi's smile froze at the corner of her mouth, as if she had seen another person through Su Minxing.
"Wind Groan, is it good-looking?"
Liu Mingxuan was holding a big red wedding dress in his hand, and he reached out to stroke the phoenix pattern embroidered on the wedding dress. The affection in her eyes soaked into her heart.
She sat beside him, leaning on his shoulder. Softly said, "It's good-looking." ”
Liu Mingxuan had joy in her eyes, and asked her cautiously: "Then when you come back, we will get married immediately, okay?"
"Okay, when I come back, I'll marry you. ”
Xiao Yunmi only felt that her eyes were hot, and her lips were inadvertently bitten by her, and her mouth was full of rust.
Su Minxing was stunned when he saw her, and then saw her red eyes. His heart tugged at him, and he forced himself to look away. He was afraid that he couldn't help but say something hurtful, and he wanted to ask her.
Who are you looking at through me?
He pulled the flower off his head and crushed it. Rose-red flower juice flowed from between your fingers and dripped silently to the ground.
There was a click, and the door was pushed open from the outside. Xiao Er walked in with food, "Guest officer, your food is ready." ”
Xiao Yunmi smiled suddenly, a wisp of green silk fell from her ears, drawing an elegant arc in the air, and her black hair reflected her dark eyes, flickering with light. Bright facial features, skin whiter than snow clear, like a fine mutton fat white jade, flawless but pale. The corners of her mouth went up, but she exuded coldness, and she became the invulnerable her again.
She patted away Su Minxing's hand that was holding the folding fan against her chin, and turned her head to see that Xiao Er had already set up the dishes and retreated.
She turned and walked to the table. The red lips opened lightly, and he coldly spit out two words. "Eat. ”
Su Minxing smiled illusory and sat beside Xiao Yunmi. He took out a brocade handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped his hands clean.
The table is full of delicacies, all of which are Xianyunju's signature dishes. Su Minxing filled a bowl of lotus seed porridge, first put it in front of Xiao Yunmi, and then served another bowl to himself.
Xiao Yunmi picked up the bowl, picked up the porcelain spoon with his bare hands and tasted it. Soft and delicious, with a hint of sweetness, she swept away the unhappiness of Fang Cai, squinted and praised: "It tastes good." ”
Su Minxing lowered his head, and under his long, slightly curled eyelashes, his eyes were as clear as a stream. Wen Yan sandwiched a quick steamed cod for her again, and said with a smile: "You can taste this again." ”
"Hmm"
The sound of the piano in the building was crisp and beautiful. The emotions in Xiao Yunmi's heart were soothed by the sound of the piano, looking at the dishes at the bottom of the bowl, and taking a bite.
Next, Su Minxing kept serving her vegetables, and Xiao Yunmi felt that her stomach was almost unable to hold on. After Su Minhang held up another bowl of porridge for her, she finally couldn't help but speak: "You can eat too, you don't have to take care of me." ”
is a very common sentence, but when it reaches Su Minxing's ears, it becomes Xiaoyunmi caring about him.
Suddenly smiled: "Okay." ”
In her previous life, she was born in the court, and her etiquette was taught very well. When Xiaoyunmian eats, his movements are very elegant, and he is as pleasing to the eye as flowing clouds.
Xiao Yunmi thought of the search for the decision that appeared in front of the house in the morning, and she glanced at Su Minxing, who was drinking porridge. My heart moved slightly, and I owed him more and more.
"Feng Yin. ”
Xiao Yunmi's body stiffened, and with a snap, the chopsticks in his hand fell on the table. Su Minxing's clear voice sounded in her ears. A long-lost name, awakened from memory.
Su Minxing seemed to see her stiffness, and wondered, "What's wrong?" This is what she told him that night when he came down the mountain with his back to the clouds.
Her name is Xiaoyunmi, and Fengyin is her milk name. The name Xiaoyunmi must have been called by many people, and the name of the breast must be known only to those close to it.
His slender phoenix eyes were bent, and he smiled very brightly.
Xiao Yunmi raised his hand to pick up the chopsticks, his sleeves fluttered lightly, and the Du Ruohua embroidered with silver thread on it was lifelike.
She lost her temper.
Xiao Yunmi lost his appetite and put down his chopsticks. Shaking his head, he said, "It's nothing." ”
Su Minxing continued: "Xiao Wu is very stingy, you should guard against him in the future." "Xiao Wu is Xiao Shangshu, this person Su Minxing has heard of it. Small belly chicken intestines, flaws must be reported. He found his anger for Xiaoyun today, and Xiaowu couldn't help him, so he would definitely find trouble for Xiaoyun.
He thought that Xiao Wu claimed to be her uncle, and he would definitely use his identity as an elder to suppress Xiao Yunmi. He added, "If he makes trouble for you and you can't make a move, you can tell me." I'll find a way to get angry for you. ”
Su Minxing's kindness to himself made Xiaoyunmi unable to adapt. Her lips moved, and she was speechless.
But that look looked at Su Minxing very bluntly, as if asking why he was so good to her.
The room was quiet again, and Su Minxing suddenly raised the corner of his eyes and smiled. He rubbed his hand on his smooth chin, "Didn't you say, we'll be friends when we meet again." Feng Yin, you don't have to guard against me, treat me as an outsider. ”
Xiao Yunmi's burden in her heart seemed to be a little lighter, and she nodded slightly in Su Minxing's expectant eyes.
She hid the darkness in her eyes and smiled brightly. "Young Master Su still call me Xiaoyunmi, don't call me Fengyin. ”
Feng Yin's two words are very heavy and contain a lot of stories. In this life, she is just looking for it.
Su Minxing showed an aggrieved look in his eyes, but it quickly dissipated on his face. He smiled slightly and said, "Then I will call you Xiaoyunmi, you can also call me by my name, don't call me Young Master Su." ”
Xiao Yunmi always turned him away thousands of miles away, and even the title was alienated. He raised his eyebrows obliquely, his eyes were like the melting ice and snow in early spring, and he looked at her faintly.
"Hmm. ”
After being recognized by Xiaoyunmi, Su Minxing asked a series of questions as a friend.
"Yunmi, today is the day when the army goes out. Who are you going to send at the gates?"
"To whom did you ask for the peace charm of that day?"
Xiao Yunmi can't wait to splash the porridge in front of him on his face, it's really noisy!
Su Minxing saw that she was silent, and he glanced at the sword on her waist. Then he asked, "Is the sword at your waist important to you?" and why do you carry it with you at all times? ”
One question after another, noisy and upset. Xiao Yunmi couldn't wait to take back what he had just said.
She couldn't bear it anymore, and finally threw off her sleeves and slammed the door.
Su Minhang leaned back in the chair and crossed his legs. Tilting his head and opening the folding fan to cover his face, a low, magnetic laugh echoed in the room.
Xiao family
Xiao Wu lost face on the street today, and he sent someone to deliver a letter to his home, and the family sent a horse-drawn carriage to take him back to his house.
As soon as he returned home, he didn't even change his court clothes, and entered the study with a gloomy face.
He sat down at his desk and picked up the envelope on the desk. He tore open the envelope and took out the letters.
The further he looked, the darker his face became. Finally, his face was as black as ink, and he crumpled the letter in his hand and slammed it on the table.
The maidservant who was pouring tea for him on the side was so frightened that her hands trembled, and the tea was poured all over the table.
The maid's body trembled, she didn't dare to look at Xiao Wu's face, she quickly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to admit her mistake.
Xiao Wu's heart was on fire, and he kicked down the servant girl who kowtowed on the ground and admitted her mistake with one kick. Anger rose up, and he shouted: "Come on, drag them out and kill them with a cane!"
The servant girl fell to the ground, not lightly wounded, and blood overflowed from the corners of her mouth. Hearing Xiao Wu's words, his face turned even pale. Trembling all over, he stepped forward and hugged his legs.
He begged bitterly: "My lord spare my life, please spare my slave and maid this time......!"
The door was opened, and two servants came in and dragged the maidservant out. The screams outside the door were incessant, and after a while there was no sound.
Xiao Wu's face was hideous, and his tone was fierce: "I didn't expect this kid to do this! Xiao Yunya dared to kill Wu'er! I can't spare him!"
A while ago, someone handed the emperor a fold, reporting that Xiao Shangshu's eldest son Xiao Xi had embezzled and accepted bribes, and presented evidence. The emperor was furious and immediately executed Xiao Xi.
Xiaowu has a thin heir in this life, and he only got a son when he was not confused, and he was very spoiled. Even if he did something wrong, he was never willing to be punished, but he didn't expect to be killed by Xiao Yunya.
Xiao Wu was furious, and thought of today's events again. Only regarded the Xiao Yunya family as a thorn in his side, he smiled coldly. There is already a plan in his heart, "Are things ready?" Xiao Wu squinted his old eyes, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were wrinkled.
Out of the darkness came a secret guard, dressed in black and masked. The dark guard knelt down, took out an envelope from his bosom and handed it to Xiao Wu.
"It's already done over there, and the evidence has been destroyed. In the envelope is what the master asks for, and this time it will be foolproof. ”
Xiao Wu took the envelope and let out a fierce laugh that made people shudder.
The thrush stood on the window and chirped, and Xiao Yunmi grabbed a handful of food seeds from the porcelain bowl on the desk and placed it on the window sill. The thrush bowed its head and stopped making noise.
She opened a piece of rice paper, picked a brush from the pen holder, dipped ink from the inkstone, and practiced calligraphy on the rice paper.
Before she could put pen to paper, Ning Zi hurriedly entered the house with a golden invitation.
"Miss, the palace has sent an invitation. Tomorrow on Concubine Ning's birthday, the emperor will have a banquet for hundreds of officials. ”
Xiao Yunmi put down the brush and took the invitation in Ning Zi's hand. I opened it, read the general contents, and put the invitation aside. Don't care: "Isn't there a lady at home, it's good if my brother doesn't bring a gift with his wife." ”
Ning Zi raised her forehead and said: "But the lady was sent to Zhuangzi by the young master to recuperate, and you are the only master in the whole house." ”
After Ning Ziyi's reminder, Xiao Yunmi remembered that her mother was sent to Zhuang by her brother. She picked up the invitation on the table again and weighed it in her hand.
After a moment of silence, she said, "If you don't go, you can't do it?" She was most annoyed by this kind of banquet, a group of women chatting with some parents together, and it was extremely boring.
Ning Zi was almost frightened by his master's words, this was an invitation sent by the emperor to hundreds of officials! Can you not go? Who dares not to give the emperor a son!
After pondering for a moment, Ning Zi said with a straight face: "No." ”
......
Xiao Yunmi was forced by Ning Zi to go to the warehouse to choose gifts, Xiao Yunya is now appreciated by the Hou Ye, and there are many gifts from various mansions in the warehouse.
The concubine is a grade below the queen, and the weight of this gift should not be too light. After choosing for a long time, Xiaoyun picked a pearl the size of a child's palm, the pearl was white and flawless, and it could still reflect the portrait when you got closer.
Xiao Yunmi threw it to Ning Zi behind him, and ordered, "Pack it, just send this." ”
