Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 32 Why Are You Afraid Of Me Getting Angry?

Not long after, Dr. Hao came over, and after stopping Su Zhi's bleeding, he wrapped it up with gauze, and said, "The wound is not deep, Er Ye should try not to touch the water these few days, change the medicine twice a day, and don't come out." It will be fine in a few days."

Su Zhi sat on an arhat bed covered with sandalwood and rattan, wearing a black gold brocade robe, and said, "I'm sorry, Doctor Hao."

After the servant girl sent Dr. Hao away, there were only Su Zhi, Su Xi and Lu Jianghuai left in the room.

Due to her inconvenient status, Lu Huishu could only wait outside the house.

Su Xi breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor said that the second brother was not seriously injured, and said worriedly: "Second brother will not practice martial arts these days, just rest in the room, it will be bad if the wound is torn .”

Seeing her seriousness, Su Zhi felt that she was making a big deal out of a molehill, and this small injury was nothing compared to the swords and swords on the battlefield, but he didn't want to make her worry, so he nodded and said: "Okay." Lu Jianghuai said: "Jianghuai doesn't have to blame himself too much."

That's the way it is in martial arts contests, there are winners and losers, and seeing some blood is nothing.

Lu Jianghuai knew that this injury was nothing to Su Zhi, but what he was worried about was not this, but Su Xi's attitude.Thinking of Su Xi's angry and reproachful eyes just now, he felt depressed, so he cheered up and said, "Second Brother Su, take good care of your wounds, and I will come to see you again some day."

Coming out of Su Zhi's house, Su Xi walked in front, and Lu Jianghuai followed.

After walking a few steps, Su Xi didn't turn her head, and didn't intend to talk to him.

After a while, Lu Jianghuai said, "Miss Nine."

Only then did Su Xi stop, turned around and saw Lu Jianghuai standing a few steps away, staring at him motionless.She pursed her lips, rolled her big and bright eyes bluntly, and said unhappily, "Is there something wrong, Mr. Lu?"

Well.In fact, it was nothing, Lu Jianghuai didn't know why he blurted out and stopped her just now, maybe he wanted to explain for himself, but when he met her gaze, he couldn't speak very well.He paused and said: "I made an apology to you for hurting Second Brother Su by mistake, and I hope Miss Nine will not be angry with me again."

Su Xi fanned her long eyelashes like a small fan, and continued to look at Lu Jianghuai without saying a word.

Lu Jianghuai thought that she would not forgive him, so he was a little flustered for a while, and stepped forward and said: "If Miss Nine is overwhelmed with anger, you can also draw a wound on me, I will definitely not resist."

While speaking, he took off the saber from his waist, held the hilt of the sword and handed it to Su Xi, with the hilt facing Su Xi and the tip of the sword facing himself.

Lu Jianghuai was born tall and handsome, and he looked like a martial artist who practiced martial arts all year round. Standing in front of Su Xi at this moment, he easily covered the whole of Su Xi, the sun shone from behind, and the floor Only his shadow was left on the ground.He stared at the little girl in front of him nervously, not sure how she would react, if it could calm her down, then he would be willing to be stabbed with a sword.What I'm afraid of is that he has said that, and if she still refuses to forgive him, then he has nothing to do.

Su Xi looked at Lu Jianghuai for a while, raised his hand to hold his sword hilt, raised his head and said, "Why are you afraid that I will get angry?"

The two of them met for the second time today, and even if he was angry, he didn't have to be so nervous, right?
A look of discomfort flashed across Lu Jianghuai's face, he coughed dryly, and said, "Miss Nine is Brother Su's younger sister, I was at fault for this matter, besides, you were frightened by the racecourse last time..."

"That's all." Su Xi saw that he was talking in a random manner and couldn't hear the point, so she interrupted him loudly, handed the sword back to him, the corners of her lips curled up, and her eyes were no longer filled with anger. Yi, easy to speak and authentic: "The doctor also said that the injury is not deep, the second brother is strong, he should recover in a few days, I will not care about this matter with you."

Lu Jianghuai did not hide the joy on his face, the dull mood just now was swept away, and the clouds broke through the sun all of a sudden.He smiled and said, "Thank you, Miss Jiu, for your generosity."

Two days later, Lu Jianghuai visited the General's Mansion again and brought medicinal materials to visit Su Zhi.

Su Xi is watching the clothes sent by Xiuchunju in Hualutianxiang. Over the years, she occasionally draws one or two styles of clothes for Xiuchunju, and each piece can become a fashionable hot item.

Mrs. Cen treats Su Xi like a confidant, and is very generous to her. Whenever Xiuchunju has a new style of clothes, she will give her a set first.

Over the past two years, Su Xi's wardrobe has been added three or four times, taking up a lot of space in the room.Later, she thought of a way to ask someone to set up a separate room for storing clothes, which would save a lot of space.

This year Xiuchunju only made ten pieces of spring shirts, and Mrs. Cen gave Su Xi four pieces, all of which were tailor-made according to Su Xi's size.Xiuchunju's clothes are naturally nothing to talk about, but before the Yin family had finished wearing the new sets of clothes made by the embroiderer in the house a few days ago, Su Xi asked Ting Yan to put them in the closet first.

Su Xi changed into a moon-white and sky-blue crepe small-sleeve shirt, and asked Tingli to pull up a double bun, and a crystal jade hairpin on her head. It was simple and clean, and showed the innocence and beauty that she should have at her age.

After tidying up, Su Xi took Tingli and Tinglu out. Today is the day she goes to Qingshui Mountain to learn piano.

As soon as he walked out of the second door, he met his second elder brother Su Zhi to send Lu Jianghuai out. Su Xi stopped and said to them, "Second elder brother, Mr. Lu."

Su Zhi's injury has mostly healed, and the gauze can be removed tomorrow.

Seeing Su Xi's footsteps pause, Lu Jianghuai said in a low voice: "Miss Nine." His eyes fell on Su Xi, and he was stunned for a moment, but soon he came to his senses that the move was inappropriate, and moved away in a panic.

Seeing Su Zhi's solemn expression, Su Xi frowned deeply, and couldn't help but ask, "Second brother, your complexion is not very good, but what happened?"

Su Zhi looked at her and said, "Youyou, where are you going?"

Su Xi replied with a smile: "Naturally, I went to Qingshui Mountain to find Mr. Gu to learn the piano. What's wrong with the second brother, and suddenly asked this?"

Su Zhi said truthfully: "I heard from Jianghuai that a group of refugees have flowed into the capital recently, and they live under Qingshui Mountain. I don't worry about you going out alone."

Su Xi didn't know the seriousness of the situation, and said with a smile: "What's the matter? If I meet those refugees, I'll just ask Ting Lu and Ting Li to give them some money. If it doesn't work, I'll bring a few more servants. Something serious happened." Seeing that Su Zhi was still frowning, she added: "Second brother, don't worry, I will try my best to avoid them, and I won't make trouble for myself."

Su Xi was raised in a deep boudoir and didn't know about these things, but Su Zhi knew that once a person was very hungry, he could do anything.These refugees flowed into the capital from the southwest, and there were about several hundred people. The imperial court was trying to settle them, but there were too many of them, and it was difficult to come up with a perfect solution for a while, so the matter was delayed.

Su Zhi thought for a moment, then decided: "Forget it, it's better for me to take you there." After saying that, he ordered the horses to be prepared.

Su Xi hurriedly stopped him: "Second brother's injury hasn't healed yet, how can he ride a horse? What if the wound is open?"

"It's okay." Su Zhi insisted.Even if the wound is opened, his sister can't be in trouble.

One of them insisted on sending them off, while the other refused to do so. Lu Jianghuai looked at the side for a while, and suggested, "Why don't you go down and send Ninth Miss off? Second brother Su was injured because of me. I will send Ninth Miss to Qingshui Mountain safely." , it can be regarded as an apology to Second Brother Su."

This is by no means a surefire solution.Lu Jianghuai is a man with high martial arts skills and strict etiquette, he is a trustworthy person.

Su Zhi thought about it for a while, but didn't shirk, "Then I'll have to trouble Jianghuai."

It's not easy for Su Xi to push and push, not to mention Mr. Gu's class time is coming soon, if she is late for a while, Mr. Gu's temper is not a joke.She just nodded in agreement.

Before departure, Su Zhi arranged for a few more servants to follow.

Su Xi sat in the black lacquered carriage with red wheels, Ting Li opened the curtain embroidered with dark patterns of gold and said to Lu Jianghuai who was outside: "Young master Lu, you can go now."

Lu Jianghuai was riding a tall horse. Hearing this, he looked back at the carriage, shouted "Drive", and headed towards Qingshui Mountain.

Although there are refugees ahead, Lu Jianghuai is in a very happy mood, the beauty is in the carriage.He was protecting her. At this moment, he seemed to be able to shield her from the wind and rain, and it was a rare opportunity to be alone. He only hoped that this road would be longer, and longer. It would be better if there was no end.

But no matter how long the road is, it will still come to an end.

They were lucky, they didn't encounter any refugees along the way, and they reached the top of Qingshui Mountain safely.Su Xi opened the curtain and stepped on the pedals to get out of the carriage, and said to Lu Jianghuai, "Thank you Mr. Lu for escorting me. I'm already here. Mr. Lu should be more careful on the way back."

Lu Jianghuai looked at Su Xi, and originally wanted to say that he was here to wait for her to finish learning the piano before sending her back. He was fine when he came, who knows if he will be fine when he goes back?But after thinking about it calmly, he is not related to her, and it is enough to send her here. If he waits for her to go back, wouldn't it make people think too much?

Lu Jianghuai had no choice but to swallow the words back to his stomach, and changed his words: "Miss Nine, go in, I will stand here for a while and leave."

Su Xi said yes, thanked him again, and then walked into Mr. Gu's bamboo garden with the qin in her arms.

It wasn't until Su Xi went in for a while that Lu Jianghuai looked away, got on his horse, and went down the mountain.

On a high slope in the distance, Wei Yan was riding a maroon horse, wearing a black-colored cloak with a lotus pattern bordered on it. He watched this scene from a distance for a while, but couldn't see any expression on his face.
