Queen's New Clothes

Chapter 94
Having said that, Wei Feng still had to leave in the end.

After Su Xi watched his figure on horseback go away, she turned around and went back to Yunjinzhai with her maid.

The two were separated within a month of their marriage, and Su Xi felt somewhat reluctant.She was the only one left in the huge yard, but she was not used to it.But there is also an advantage, that is, you can sleep well in the future.Ever since she got married to Wei Feng, she seldom got a full night's sleep, and because of this, she wasted a lot of time practicing dancing and playing the piano.

On the second day after Wei Yan left, Su Xi didn't have to go to Ji'an Hall to pay his respects, and slept until the sun was high before getting up.

After waking up, she practiced movements for half an hour, then wiped her green qiqin, and after breakfast, she went to the back garden to water the flowers.In the afternoon, I read a book in the study and practiced calligraphy, and the whole day passed quickly.In the evening, she lay on the bed after washing, and felt that the bed was so spacious for the first time, and she was not used to it without Wei Yan's arm as a pillow.

I don't know where he is now?Luozhou is not far from the capital, so it should take four or five days to arrive, right?
The next few days were basically the same as the first day. Yunjinzhai's servants took care of the yard in an orderly manner. Su Xi didn't need to worry about it, and she didn't need to take care of the affairs of Prince Jin's Mansion. She lived a good life every day. Relaxed and comfortable.

One day, Su Xi wrote a letter to Lu Huishu and asked her to meet her in Yuhelou.The two talked a lot after seeing each other for a long time. After sitting in the Yuhe Building for several hours, they went to the Duobaozhai to look at the jewelry.

There is only one woman in Duobaozhai, wearing autumn-colored beige, holding a pair of gold-encrusted jade earrings, hesitating.

Su Xi casually glanced at her, seeing that she looked familiar, and took a closer look, it turned out to be the sixth cousin, Su Lingyun.

Ever since the second room separated from them, Su Xi had never seen those two cousins ​​since returning to Beijing.Su Lingrong and Su Lingyun were already married at this time, Su Lingrong was married to Wu Er from Qing'an Houfu, and Su Lingyun was married to Sun Rui from Hui'an Houfu.

Su Xi didn't deliberately inquire about the whereabouts of the two of them, nor did she know how they were doing.It was quite unexpected to see it suddenly today.Before she got married, Su Lingyun was also a delicate and beautiful girl. She was only one year older than Su Xi, but now she looked like a woman in her twenties with a sallow complexion and a few white hairs on her temples. The gold-encrusted jade earrings were hesitant, both wanting to buy and a bit embarrassed.

Su Lingyun noticed Su Xi's gaze, and following her gaze, when her gaze fell on Su Xi's plump and radiant face, her expression changed drastically.

The nine girls of the Su family married Wei Wei, the heir of the Prince of Jin. This is something that half of the girls in the capital know.

How many people used to admire Wei Feng's talent and appearance, but no one thought that he would marry the little-known Su Xi in the end.

Su Lingyun saw the formation of their marriage back then from afar.She thought of Wei Feng's Zhilan Yushu-like appearance, and then thought of her husband Sun Rui who had a good way of life, and she felt dissatisfied.However, she personally agreed to this marriage, even if she later regretted it, her aunt Guo would not help her.In addition, the second bedroom separated from the Su family, she has no face to beg Mrs. Su, and she can only taste the pain herself.

Sun Rui used all her savings at home to support actors outside, and now she has to think about it for a long time when she wants to buy an earring.

Su Lingyun looked at the hairpin, bracelet, and jade pendant on Su Xi's body, all of which were exquisite and valuable, and her face was rosy, and she seemed to be living very comfortably.

Su Lingyun recalled her cabinet full of jewelry at that time.She has always been like this, everything is better than others.

Compared with her preciousness, she looks rather shabby.

Lu Huishu obviously recognized her, and said, "Hey, this is not the sixth girl of the Su family..."

Su Xi nodded, but before she could speak, Su Lingyun quickly dropped her earrings, turned around and left without saying hello.

Lu Huishu asked, "Why did she leave?"

Su Xi lowered her eyes, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

She didn't have any affection for the two cousins ​​in the second room from the beginning, and she didn't care how they were doing.Su Xi and Lu Huishu each picked out jewelry, and then got into the carriage and went home.Before leaving, Su Xi glanced at the gold-encrusted jade earrings dropped by Su Lingyun, and quickly looked away.

The next day was the day when Su Xi went to Ji'an Hall to pay his respects.

After Su Xi had breakfast with Princess Jin Yuan Shi, she was about to say goodbye and go back when Yuan Shi stopped her and said, "Wait a minute."

She turned around and asked puzzledly, "What else can mother do?"

Yuan ordered Mother Gu to bring in the two beautiful girls, and said: "These two have already signed the deed of sale, you take them back and keep them by your side to serve in the future. The maids around Brother Fen are around the same age. When it grows up, it will always be sent out in the future, just for these two people to fill in."

One of these two maids was dressed in green and the other in blue. They looked pretty and had a graceful figure, not like ordinary maids.Su Xi glanced at them and said after consideration: "Yunjinzhai's servants are full, and everyone has their own division of labor. I'm afraid there is no room for the two of them. Thank you for your mother's kindness. These two people will stay in the house for now. Here you go."

Yuan Shi looked at her, "It's just that there are two more people, so you can't take care of them anymore? In the future, this huge Jin Palace will be handed over to you, what will you do then? If you really can't let go of two people, I don’t think you need to be the head of the family in the future.” Then he said, “The gift from the elders is irresistible. The daughter of the Su family is familiar with the sages, so it’s possible that she hasn’t even heard this sentence?”

Not only is he using the name of the elders, but also using the principles of sages to suppress Su Xi, but Su Xi has nothing to say for a while.She was silent for a moment, then bent her knees and said, "My daughter-in-law knows."

One of the two men was named Huizhu and the other Huachuan.Back in Yunjinzhai, Su Xi put the two of them in the back room, sharing a room with the other two third-class maids.

Ting Yan poured tea and water for Su Xi, and said without hesitation: "Girl, what does Princess Jin mean? Our Yunjin Zhai has no shortage of people, and she specially stuffed two people in. The servant girl looked at the two She has a seductive face in her life, and she is not a serious maid at first glance."

Su Xi was silent.Even Ting Yan's carelessness can be seen, so how could she fail to see Yuan's plan?

Moreover, Yuan Shi made it so clear that she arranged for those two people to serve Wei Feng.

A few days after she and Wei Feng got married, Yuan couldn't wait to go to Yunjin Zhai.

It's just that Su Xi couldn't figure out one thing. Since the Yuan family wanted to go to Yunjinzhai, why did they choose when Wei Wei was not around?She thought for a while, and said: "Sister Yanyan, you have arranged two reliable servant girls to look at the painted beads and the painted bracelets these few days. If there is anything wrong with them, come and report to me at any time."

Ting Yan nodded and said yes, then asked: "Miss, do you still need to arrange things for them?"

Although Su Xi was married to Wei Feng, Ting Yan and the other maidservants still used to call her "Miss".

Su Xi said: "Arrange some unimportant things, and don't let the two of them enter the house."

Yunjinzhai has a nanny who specializes in managing servants, surnamed Jin, who is a well-behaved old man who is dedicated to his duties.After hearing what Su Xi wanted, he arranged for Hui Zhu and Hua Chuan to take care of the flowers in the flower shed behind.Once there is a problem with any pot of flowers, Su Xi can send them out with "not doing business well".

Su Xi is quite satisfied with Jinmao's arrangement.

In the next few days, Huizhu and Huachuan were fairly honest, taking care of the flower shed in an orderly manner, without causing any trouble.

Instead, Su Xi received a letter from Wei Feng.

This should have been written when he first arrived in Luozhou, and he briefly explained the things on the way. Maybe he was too busy, so there was not much content in the letter, but a box carved with red sandalwood was sent along with the letter.Su Xi opened it and looked, and it was full of Luozhou-style gadgets.Wei Yan knew that she liked qin and spices, and there were not only lost qin scores, but also several kinds of precious spices, as well as countless pearls and hairpins.

Su Xi rested her chin on Wei Feng's letter, and suddenly missed him.

In fact, she missed him every day for half a month, but never as strongly as this time.

Su Xi sat at the front desk and wrote a reply letter. Halfway through the writing, she hesitated for a while, and told about Yuan's sending two maids.After finishing writing, he went to the outer court to deliver the letter to Li Hong.

This end, Ji'antang.

Concubine Yuan Shi of Jin and Second Master Wei Xun sat in the rose chair, and there was a maid wearing pink and blue clothes kneeling below her, who was Huizhu.

Wei Xun took a sip of tea and looked at Hui Zhu: "Have you found out when Wei Xun returned to Beijing?"

Huizhu lowered her head and said: "Mrs. Shizi doesn't let the servants approach the main house. The servants and Hua Chuan are only responsible for taking care of the flower shed. For the time being, I haven't heard the news of the son's return to Beijing..."

Wei Xun frowned, and said, "I won't let you get close, won't you find a way to get close? I'll give you another ten days. If you still can't ask, go back to Yangzhou."

Yangzhou does not refer to the place name, but refers to the place where Yangzhou lean horses are specially cultivated.Generally, the women who come out from there don't want to go back.Huizhu shrank back, looked up at Wei Xun, "Please don't send Huizhu back."

Such a pitiful appearance is really charming.However, compared with the other figure, it was too far away. Wei Xun suddenly lost interest and waved her down.

Only Wei Xun and Yuan Shi were left in the room.Yuan Shi asked: "Brother Xun, are you sure you are safe?"

Wei Xun pondered for a moment, and said: "Other things have been arranged. As long as we know when Wei Feng will return to the capital, my boy promises not to let him return to the capital alive."

Yuan Shi was not at ease, "But if someone finds out that you did this..."

Wei Xun comforted: "Mother, don't worry, after the matter is completed, none of those people will stay, and no one will know that this matter is related to us."

A quarter of an hour later, Wei Xun came out of Ji'an Hall and walked back to Erfang Ruisiju.

It just so happened that Su Xi had finished delivering the letter to Li Hong and was returning to Yunjinzhai.She wore a pink-blue embroidered gold short jacket today, with a skirt of the same color and peony pattern underneath, and a fish-patterned pomegranate silver waist ornament on her waist, which jingled with her steps, crisp and pleasant.I saw her tilting her head and talking to the servant girl, with a light smile on her lips, a peachy face, and a soft voice.

Even though he wasn't talking to Wei Xun, listening to that voice was refreshing.

Ruisiju was in the same direction as Yunjinzhai, Su Xi walked in front, and did not see Wei Xun.

Wei Xun walked slowly behind Su Xi, looking at her back.

Looking at it, the color of the eyes gradually darkened.

Wei Yan is really lucky.I don't know how ecstasy it feels to hold such a beautiful wife in my arms?
