Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 13 Amber Walnut
Su Xi asked which brother it was, but Su Baiyu shook his head and said he didn't know, and only said that the other party was wearing a blue dress.

There were quite a few people wearing blue clothes at the birthday banquet today, and only Su Xi saw two of them.One is Fu Shaoyun, wearing a royal blue satin gown with persimmon pedicle pattern, and the other is Wei Feng, wearing a navy blue brocade robe with honeysuckle pattern.Su Xi thought for a while, it should be Fu Shaoyun, Wei Yan is not the kind of person who likes to meddle in other people's business, so she didn't take this matter to heart, patted Su Baiyu's head and said: "That's also Bo Geer's smart, once learned It will."

After all, Su Baiyu was a child, and after being praised, he felt a little smug, the corners of his mouth curled up a little, and he pretended to be calm and said: "Auntie, let's fly the kite."

Su Xi promised Su Baiyu that if he figured out the solution to Luban's chain lock within three days, she would take him to fly a kite.Although Su Baiyu didn't come up with it this time, Su Xi is not that old-fashioned, and she agreed in a pleasant manner: "Okay, when the ethnology school is closed in two days, my second brother and I will take you to fly a kite in another courtyard outside the city. "

Su Baiyu nodded happily, and suddenly remembered something, took out a palm-sized greased paper bag from his skirt, unfolded it, and handed it to Su Xi: "You eat."

In Su Baiyu's hands were a few pieces of amber walnuts. The walnut kernels were covered with a layer of transparent syrup, which looked very attractive.Su Xi remembered that the cooks in the mansion wouldn't know how to make this dessert, because it was a common snack in the street outside, and it didn't look precious at all in the general's mansion. Su Baiyu had never been out of the mansion, so how could there be such a thing?

Su Xi asked, "Brother Bai, where did this come from?"

Su Baiyu thought for a while, and said, "My second grandmother's relative gave it to me." After he put the amber walnut in Su Xi's hands, he continued to play with the chain lock, and said with long eyelashes, "I don't like it, sweet. "

Unexpectedly, these words caused a huge wave in Su Xi's heart, and she asked: "Which relative? The Liao family or Li Xiangru?"

Su Baiyu raised his head and recalled, "She asked me to call her aunt."

Then it must be Li Xiangru.Su Xi's complexion became uneasy, and for a moment she didn't know whether Li Xiangru was smart or stupid, but he dared to attack Bo Ge'er.If Li Xiangru hadn't appeared when Su Baiyu's accident happened in her previous life, Su Xi would probably suspect that Su Baiyu's fall into the water was related to her, "Then have you eaten? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

Su Baiyu shook his head twice, frowned, with the seriousness of a little adult: "I don't like to eat."

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief, although Li Xiangru didn't have the guts to poison Su Baiyu, but taking precautions before they happen, no one can guarantee the future.She straightened Su Baiyu's small shoulders, with a rare round face on the floor, and said solemnly: "Brother Bo, no matter what the second room person gives you in the future, you can't eat it." After thinking for a while, she added: "You can Accept it and give it to me or your father afterwards, remember?"

Su Baiyu looked at her, and gave a half-understanding "hmm".

After sending Su Baiyu away, Su Xi called Tinglu, and pushed the amber walnuts in the oiled paper bag in front of Tinglu, asking her to check if there was anything else in it.Ting Lu took it back to the house and checked it all night, and then reported back to Su Xi the next morning: "Girl, nothing unusual was found."

Presumably it was just an ordinary dessert, and Li Xiangru wanted to win over Su Baiyu, so that she would have a greater chance of becoming the grandma of the Su family.

Su Xi had just come out of the clean room, wearing a thin snowflake satin shirt with colorful embroidered butterfly patterns, and soft satin embroidered shoes on her feet, as if she had been thinking for a long time, she flapped her long eyelashes twice, and called Tingyan in from outside. "Listen to Sister Yan, you arrange two reliable maids and tell them to secretly watch the movements of Liao and Li Xiangru, and report to me every morning, afternoon and evening." After finishing speaking, she still felt uneasy, and said again: " Look at it too, you don't need to wait in front of me these days, just report their every move to me."

It was rare to see Su Xi being so serious, and Ting Yan asked in puzzlement, "Girl, but what did they do?"

Su Xi nodded without hiding anything: "The people in the second room rarely care about Brother Bai, let alone give him food for no reason. I think Li Xiangru might do something else later."

Qiu Tangju.

Su Xi came to look for Yin Shi, told about Li Xiangru's cakes for Su Baiyu, and reminded Yin Shi by the way: "Mother, does that Miss Li have other wishes? I saw her once in the courtyard. When I met my eldest brother, my eldest brother walked away, she was still watching from behind, do you think she..."

Su Xi thinks that being reborn is a good thing, that is, she can say whatever she wants because of her young age. Ten years old is at the age of infancy. She can say whether she is old or young, but in the eyes of her parents, she is still a child. That's all.

Mrs. Yin had just finished her breakfast, and was rinsing her mouth with the tea handed by the maid Dan Lu, spitting the water into the bowl, and frowned when she heard the sound, "You saw her and brother Li, they can talk about it." What?"

Su Xi said frankly: "Brother didn't say anything, just nodded and left." On the other hand, Li Xiangru looked like he really wanted to talk to Su Li, but he didn't know how to start, and Su Li had already strode away .

Unexpectedly, Li Xiangru had such thoughts and underestimated her before.A trace of disgust flashed in Yin's eyes, and she wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief. If Li Xiang had such thoughts, it could not be her own thoughts. Single-handed planning?No matter what kind, if Li Xiangru really climbs up to Su Li, the benefits of the second room will be indispensable, and the second room has a good plan.

Mrs. Yin called Su Xi to him, thought for a moment and said, "For a few days, I will take Bo Geer to live in Qiutang for the time being, and I will ask Danlu to pick him up later. Young boy, who else are you going to tell about this?" Pass?"

Su Xi shook her head and said, "I only told my mother."

Yin felt relieved, touched Su Xi's head and said, "Now we are just guessing, and the matter has not yet been settled. If we tell it, I'm afraid it will cause trouble for your elder brother."

Su Xi snuggled into Yin's arms, and rubbed her affectionately, "Mother, I know."

The Yin family was always decisive in handling affairs, and did not delay much, and soon asked Danlu to pick up Su Baiyu from the Molin Academy.Taking advantage of this time, Su Xi raised her head, her jet-black almond eyes turned around, and said in a long voice, "Mother, I have one more thing."

Yin only thought that she wanted to talk about Li Xiangru, so she said, "What's the matter?"

Su Xi mentioned the female master who taught dance that Yu Baotong mentioned that day, and asked, "Let's invite her into the mansion, will it work?"

Yin was silent for a while, with disapproval on her face, "Do you know her background? Since she is a dance teacher, I'm afraid she is not a good girl." Don't lead Su Xi into trouble then.

Su Xi has already inquired about these things in order to persuade Yin Shi: "Sister Yu told me that the female master's surname is Dong, she used to be Si Le in the palace, and she was arranged to leave the palace before she went to Rongguo. The government taught Sister Yu."

As for why she left the palace... I can't tell Yin Shi.

The woman's full name was Dong Lan, and because she was in charge of rituals and music in the palace, she had a good temperament, with a noble character like an orchid, and a voluptuous figure like a rose.It was said that Concubine Hui was jealous of her beauty, and she was afraid that the emperor would fall in love with her and be robbed of his honor by her, so she made a random mistake and sent her out of the palace.Dong Lan and Mrs. Rong Guogong were distant relatives, so they defected to the Rongguo Duke's mansion, teaching Yu Baotong how to dance and music, and at the same time having a place to settle down.

After hearing Dong's identity, Yin's complexion softened a little, and his tone relaxed: "If you like it, then find a day and bring her to the mansion."

Su Xi was overjoyed, put her arms around Yin's neck and said, "Can we do it tomorrow?"

Yin nodded her forehead, "You are the one who is in a hurry."

On the second day, the Yin family really arranged for a carriage to go to Rongguo Duke's mansion and brought Dong Lan over.

The Yin family arranged Dong Lan in a cross courtyard behind Hualu Tianxiang, which was close to Su Xi, so it was convenient for teaching in normal times.

The first time Su Xi saw Dong Lan, she knew why even the famous Concubine Hui was afraid of her.Dong Lan was not born beautiful, she could only be regarded as handsome in facial features, but she had an indescribable charm, her waist was slender, graceful and graceful, just standing there, the beautiful figure attracted people to watch involuntarily .If Yu Baotong hadn't said that she was in her thirties, Su Xi would almost have thought she was a teenage girl.

Su Xike said politely: "Mr. Dong."

Dong Lan is a bit of a proud person. Although the Su Mansion invited her to be Su Xi's teacher, she will not be that flattering person.

After Dong Lan responded, she asked about Su Xi's age, touched her muscles and bones, and went straight to the point, asking her to do a few exercises to test her resilience.

Su Xi has been exercising in the morning and evening these days, and has done all kinds of difficult movements. Naturally, these few exercises by Dong Lankao are not a problem.

Seeing this, Dong Lan nodded and said, "Miss Jiu's muscles and bones are very soft."

Then Dong Lan combined Su Xi's class time in ethnology to formulate a curriculum for her, and the final time was set on the four days of every three, five, seven, and ten days of every ten days.Su Xi wrote down the time, said a few words to Dong Lan, and left.

On the way back to Hualutianxiang, it rained without warning, but it was not that big. Tinghe raised his sleeve to cover Su Xi's head, and said, "It was still sunny just now, but it started to rain...Girl, let's go Hurry up before you get gonorrhea."

Su Xi took two steps and felt that something was wrong. She raised her head to look at the dark cloud-covered sky, stood there for a while, and suddenly a thought flashed through her mind, like enlightenment, she remembered something.

At the same time, Ting Yan came running from a distance and said, "Girl, Miss Li went to the lakeside in the backyard... Grandpa is also there."

It was such a rainy day in my previous life, when Li Xiangru fell into the water, my elder brother couldn't leave her to die, so he rescued her, unexpectedly, he saved a disaster from then on.

Su Xi held up her skirt, no matter how gentle she was, she was a little angry at this moment: "Take me there."

This Li Xiangru really has a wicked heart.
