Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 19
After Yin came back from Prince Jin's mansion, she learned about what happened in the school today, and called Su Xi over to take a closer look, looked at her tender and clean face, and said distressedly: "Did the people from the second room beat you?"

Su Xi shook her head, and said truthfully: "The fourth cousin stopped the fifth cousin, and she didn't hit her."

If you don't strike, you have the desire to beat someone.Yin's eyes turned cold, the people in the second room were becoming more and more lawless, and Su Lingrong was also used to have no rules by Guo, but she was just a concubine, but she couldn't tell her identity all day long, thinking that the second master Su Yang was raised by the old lady , can it be compared with the big house and three rooms?Mrs. Guo was not at the mansion, so she told Danlu, "Go to the gate of the second courtyard and wait. If the second master comes back, please tell me."

After Danlu left, Su Xi slowly walked up to Yin Shi, held Yin Shi's hand with her small hand, and said frankly: "Mother, it was I who designed the fifth cousin's fall, and I tied her skirt and the table legs to her. Together."

The Yin family vaguely guessed that it was Su Xi who did it. She knew her daughter's temperament best. She looked obedient on the surface, but in fact she was a little cunning, but she didn't expect her to confess honestly, so she deliberately asked: "Oh, why are you so angry?" Do?"

Su Xi pouted, and burrowed into Yin's arms, thinking about it now, she was still a little depressed: "My fifth cousin knocked over my snack, and I haven't even eaten a bite yet, what a waste."

Yin smiled lightly, raised her hand to stroke Su Xi's hair, and said, "I don't blame you this time, don't do it next time. If anyone bullies you, you can come and tell mother, and mother will make the decision for you. This kind of secret treachery and petty deceit is not worth it."

Su Xi nodded obediently, and she also felt that she was so childish that she was as knowledgeable as Su Lingrong.It must be reborn as a child, and the mentality has also become smaller.

It's just that Su Xi obviously didn't recognize herself. Rao was married in her previous life, so her mentality is not very mature.

At the end of the application, the sun set on the western mountain, and the second master turned his head from the outside.Su Yang heard about what happened today, and took the initiative to take Su Lingrong to the big room to make amends, and asked Su Lingrong to confess to Su Xi and apologize: "Sister Xi is three years younger than you, Sister Rong, as a big sister, you don't love my sister That's all, and you still beat your sister? How did the master in the school teach you, how do you write filial piety? Hurry up and apologize to your sister."

Su Lingrong's eyes were red, and she refused to accept it: "Sister Xi made me fall on purpose...and also ruined my painting."

The second master said: "Are you still stubborn? Who taught you to slander others?"

"Second uncle, I did it." Su Xi stood up and said, Yin's words just now were like enlightenment, and she really did something disgraceful.She walked up to Su Lingrong, bent her almond eyes, and said generously: "Fifth sister, I am wrong about this, please forgive me." She tilted her head and thought for a while, "But it was you who ruined my snacks. Wrong first."

Su Lingrong glared at Su Xi angrily. What happened to her ruining her snacks? Anyway, she just asked the girl to do it again, but that painting was her own painstaking effort. How can it be compared?

The second master Su Yang said: "Sister Xi is still sensible. My sister has already apologized to you. Sister Rong, shouldn't you also show something?"

Su Lingrong lowered her head, her eyes were red with annoyance and she said reluctantly: "I made mistakes too, Sister Xi, please forgive me."

Su Xi pursed her lips and said hello.

"That's the end of it." The second master nodded in satisfaction, cupped his hands towards the Yin family, and said politely: "I have caused trouble for my sister-in-law today, so I will take Sister Rong back."

Yin asked Danlu and Danwu to send the second master to the gate of Qiutangju.

In the second room, the second master Su Yang is probably the most sober-minded.Su Yang knew his identity clearly and behaved well in front of the old lady. Although his reputation was not very good, he was a spendthrift and idler, but he never thought about arguing with the elder, and always kept his duty.Because of this, the old lady treated him differently, and tolerated Guo's unreasonable troubles many times because of the second master's face.

The weather was clear and clear that day, so Su Xi went to Xikuayuan to practice dancing with Dong Lan.

For the convenience of dancing, Su Xi specially asked Tingli to make a set of light clothes. The fabric is made of light and soft scattered flower silk. It's unique, it was Su Xi's whim that told Ting Li to do this.The waist is also quite tight, and the skirt is relatively loose, which unexpectedly looks good on the body.

This kind of clothes must not be worn out, Su Xi only wears it when dancing with Dong Lan.

Because she was a beginner, Dong Lan first taught Su Xi to stretch her muscles and bones. This step sounds easy, but in fact it is not easy at all.One morning, Su Xi lay limply on the couch and didn't want to move.She felt that her hands and feet were not her own, and she was broken into pieces by Mr. Dong. This was much more difficult than the movements taught by Ye Momo. In comparison, Ye Momo was too kind to her.

Dong Lan put on a dark blue cloak embroidered with rose patterns, walked up to Su Xi, leaned over and squeezed her waist: "Does it hurt?"

Su Xi shrank suddenly, and looked at Dong Lan with teary eyes: "Sir, it's sore and painful..."

Dong Lan smiled, and said mercilessly: "That's right, only pain can strengthen your flesh. If you don't want to grow into a waist as thick as a bucket in the future, just grit your teeth and endure it."

Su Xi touched her fleshy waist, then thought about her fat body in two or three years, and silently endured it.

From Xikuayuan back to Hualutianxiang, Ting Li supported Su Xi all the way, and said what he just heard: "Girl, the people from Xiuchunju sent some sets of ready-made clothes, do you want to see them now?"

Su Xi remembered that the proprietress of Xiuchunju, Cen, said she would give her some clothes, rubbed her sore arms, and said, "Let me have a look."

Not long after, Tingli brought a few maids to bring the clothes.

There are four sets in total, all of which are spring shirts, sewn with Su Xi's ideas in mind.The first set is an apricot-yellow skirt, with dark golden rose patterns embroidered on the cuffs and skirt. Large roses bloom one after another, delicate and unobtrusive. The navy blue myrobalan on the chest is also embroidered with two small roses. When Ting Li unfolded this set of clothes, Su Xi's eyes lit up.

The second set is a sky blue shirt and skirt after the rain, with pleated skirts and a pattern of birds embroidered on the skirt. When walking, the skirt folds shake, and the birds seem to be alive, flying up.The remaining two sets are the pink ruyi pattern skirt and the delicate green spring shirt. Each has its own uniqueness. No wonder Xiuchunju is so sought after by the noble ladies in the capital. After mentioning it, Cen made the effect she wanted.

Ting Li's eyes were almost glued to the clothes, and she said with emotion: "Girl, when I can make a dress like this, I will have no regrets in this life."

Su Xi was about the same age as Tingli, and comforted her: "Tingli is also very good, and sooner or later he can do it."

Su Xi asked Ting Li to put the clothes in the closet. These clothes are beautiful, but she doesn't know how to wear them now.When she loses weight, when will she take out these clothes again.

The first day of March is the [-]th birthday of Mrs. Qing's wife Xiao Tan.

Because the old lady of the Su Mansion, Mrs. Tan, and Mrs. Qing Guo's Mansion are cousin sisters, this time when little Tan's celebrates her birthday, the Su family will definitely go.It's just that the old lady hadn't returned from the Xiangshan Nunnery, so she wrote to Mrs. Tan, and Mrs. Yin and Mrs. Sanfang Yu went to Qingguo Gongfu to celebrate her birthday.

Su Xi followed the Yin family to Duke Qing's mansion, and many people had already arrived in the main hall of the inner courtyard.Seeing Su Xi, Mrs. Qing Guogong called her to her with a smile: "Sister Xi, come and let me have a look. I haven't seen you for a few days. This little face seems to be even more beautiful."

Su Xi Nuo Nuo called out "Mrs. Tan" sweetly.

Mrs. Qing Guogong patted her hand, and said: "I haven't seen you coming to Qing Guogong's mansion to play recently. I remember that when you were a child, you would come to play with your cousin Shaoyun and sister Yiyi from time to time. Now I When I get old, I have to act like a god if I want to see you, and you don't come to see me, an old woman..."

"Old madam." Yin interrupted, "Sister Xi is getting old, so it's not easy to come to Duke Qing's mansion often. Besides, sister Xi went to study ethnology the year before last and was very nervous on weekdays. If you can't see her every day, don't blame her."

The Mei family on that side also said: "Yes, mother, isn't Sister Yi accompanying you? You say that, it makes Sister Yi feel very uncomfortable."

Both the Yin family and the Mei family could guess about seven or eight points of what Duke Qing's wife was up to.Fu Shaoyun is 16 years old this year. At the age when it is time to get engaged, Su Xi and Su Xi can be regarded as childhood sweethearts. Although Su Xi is a little young, it is not a bad idea to wait another two or three years, as long as the marriage is settled first. .Mrs. Qing Guogong fell in love with Su Xi a long time ago. She felt that this girl had a good face and was blessed. She had clear eyes and aura. She didn't know what to do if she liked her.

It's just that Yin's and Mei's disagree.

Yin's wholeheartedly thought about her daughter, if Su Xi really married Fu Shaoyun, Mei's mother-in-law would not be easy to serve, and with Fu Yi as her sister-in-law, life might not be too easy.

Let's talk about the Mei family, Fu Shaoyun is talented in both literature and martial arts, and he is also handsome. It's not good to marry a daughter of the family, so why do you want to marry that fat dumpling from the Su family?
Therefore, these two people would absolutely not agree, only Mrs. Qing Guogong and his wife shaved their heads and made their heads hot.

Say Cao Cao, and Cao Cao will arrive.Fu Yi appeared at the door of the main room, and knelt down towards Mrs. Qing Guogong, "Grandmother."

The girls in the room cast their eyes on Fu Yi. Fu Yi has such an ability to become the focus of the crowd wherever he goes.

Mrs. Qing Guogong took Fu Yi with one hand and Su Xi with the other, and said with a kind smile, "Miss Yi came just in time, there are too many people in this room, don't worry about you little girls, you lead sister Xi and other girls Go to the backyard for a walk. Isn’t the rose flower in our mansion blooming, you all go and have a look.”

Fu Yi smiled lightly: "Don't worry, grandma, I'll take my younger sisters there."

So a group of teenage girls left the main room and headed for the backyard.

Fu Yi and Li Yan's younger sister Li Anyi walked in front together, followed by Su Lingrong, Su Lingyun and other girls.Tang Wan and Yu Baotong didn't come today, Su Xi didn't like to circle around Fu Yi like everyone else, so she walked at the end.

Li Anyi was twelve years old this year, and she looked pretty. She looked up and down Fu Yi in amazement, and praised: "Sister Yi, your clothes are so beautiful. Was it made by the embroiderer in the house? I asked the embroiderer in my house Mother also came to learn."

Fu Yi shook Li Anyi's hand, and said with a smile, "My brother asked Xiu Chunju to make it, and it was delivered yesterday."

That's right, the clothes Fu Yi is wearing is one of the four clothes Cen gave to Su Xi.A delicate green shirt with large sleeves, the color gradually fades from the hem to the neckline, and the neckline is embroidered with grape-pattern trims. Nowadays, there are very few clothes in the world with such gradient colors, so when Fu Yi first came out, it was really amazing After a while.

After making these four clothes, Cen made a complete set for Su Xi, and made another big-sleeve shirt and pink skirt and sold them. The remaining two yellow and rainy and sunny The clothes are only in Su Xi's hands.

Fu Shaoyun has always doted on Fu Yi's younger sister, so it's not unusual for her to have this big-sleeved shirt.

Su Xi thought to herself, it's a good thing she didn't wear this one today, otherwise she wouldn't be in trouble.

Su Xi wore a powder-blue embroidered blouse today, paired with a colorful embroidered flower-and-bird skirt. The skirt was loose and did not reveal her figure. In fact, she had lost a lot of weight during this time, and her round apple face gradually appeared. The rudiment of the oval face, the waist, arms and legs are obviously much less fleshy, and the figure is half a palm higher than before.

It's just that Su Xi deliberately wore loose clothes, and Fu Yi wore a new dress, everyone's attention was attracted by Fu Yi, so no one paid attention to her.

Su Xi was happy to be at leisure, and the others were watching the moon season in front, so she sat under the octagonal pavilion and tasted the hibiscus tea from the Duke's Mansion.

The flower smell is weak, barely edible.Su Xi went to the side to pick a few rose petals, boiled them in boiling water, and then brewed the petals in hibiscus tea, so that the fragrance would be much stronger.

As soon as he took the first sip, a voice came from behind: "It's rare to see people drinking tea like this."

Su Xi put down her teacup, turned around, and saw Fu Shaoyun standing a few steps away with a smile, and the person beside him was Li Yan, who was wearing a crow blue robe.
