Chapter 161 Ready to move (2)
Xiangxiu called Tong's family to the ear room. The mother and daughter closed the door and didn't know what they said. But in a short while, the ear room door opened. Tong's family came out and called away the two little girls in the corridor. Xiangxiu had to clean up her clothes, and also left the ear room, and went straight to the upper room.
There was only one little girl who had her head left at the door.
Because Qi You was in the study, the people in the yard automatically made their voices lighter when they spoke and walked.
Xiangxiu took the initiative to say to the little girl: "I'll look for Sister Citron."
"Sister Citron is talking to Sister Citron in her grandmother's room." The little girl said.
"I'll just go in by myself." Xiangxiu didn't let the little girl report and stepped into the room. She turned the screen lightly, and the white porcelain tea set was placed on the Duobao Pavilion, with an exquisite tea box next to it.
On the kang in Duobao Pavilion, Platycodon was comparing various silk threads with citron, saying how to match the colors. Both of them lowered their heads and looked at the silk threads.
Xiangxiu walked to Duobao Pavilion with slight hands and picked up the tea set and tea box.
Kikyo seemed to hear something and raised her head.
Citron also stood up at this time, just blocking Kikyo's view.
Xiangxiu let out a breath and brought the thing out quickly.
In the ear room, the Tong family had already carried a pot of hot water and waited there.
Xiangxiu put down what she had in her hand and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thanks to my knowledge, I learned this thing, which may come in handy now. This is a blessing from God." The Tong family said excitedly.
"The eight characters are not even mentioned." Xiang Xiu gave the Tong family a blank look, disagreed, and said that she was knowledgeable. It was just a tea art master who rented her house. The Tong family thought that the tea art master gave her a small rent, so she asked her to learn this craft, but it was just a filling of the rent.
"Mom, should I change my clothes?" Xiangxiu looked at the clothes on her body. The big girl in Qi Mansion has two sets of clothes every year, and this one is the new clothes this spring. The materials and styles are good, but the uniform work clothes of the girls always lack a little charm.
"Yes, yes," the Tong family nodded quickly.
Xiangxiu hurriedly opened the suitcase, picked and chose, and chose a pink summer shirt and summer skirt to replace the slightly thicker clothes. When she first entered the mansion, she specially found a famous tailor in Beijing, but it cost a lot of five taels of silver to do it. The skirt was originally close-fitting, and the Tong family discussed with the tailor and specially reduced the size by half an inch. Now Xiangxiu is wearing it, the dress is tightly attached to the waist, slightly tight on the chest and buttocks, but it further highlights Xiangxiu's slim waist, plump breasts and buttocks.
The Tong family looked at her daughter and smiled.
Xiangxiu looked in the mirror and seemed to be a little dissatisfied with her face. "When using grandma's jasmine powder, her face is still worse than grandma."
The Tong family felt that it was necessary to cheer up her daughter at this time, and by the way, she taught her daughter the experience of men in the past half of her life.
"My good girl, your face is not as good as grandma. Mom looks at me. There is no one more beautiful person in this yard than you. Mom is a person who has experienced it. You are right. This man is not a man who doesn't steal fish. A wife is not as good as a concubine, and a concubine is not as good as a steal. Even if your wife is beautiful, it is not as important as a fresh word."
Xiangxiu just nitpicked her appearance and wanted to agree more. She was still very confident about her appearance. However, after being excited, she couldn't help but have some concerns.
"Mom, the fourth master's temper, last time Caiqin..."
The Tong family was a little dissatisfied with her daughter's retreat at the last moment, "When facing the beauty, especially when there is no outsider, no matter how big a man is, he will become weak. Good girl, how could that bitch Caiqin compete with you? The Fourth Master looked down on her and didn't touch her at all. She even lied to the wife and insisted on asking for a name. How could the Fourth Master spare her? Good girl, you are different. Just go, and the Fourth Master wants to ask, and he said that it was Grandma who asked you to go."
Xiangxiu nodded. Caiqin's bitch wanted to harm Qi You, and she deserved it no matter how she died. She was different. She really liked Qi You.
"Good girl, you are the big girl. It's a matter of serving tea and water to your master, and no one can say anything. After entering, it's up to you. It's best to succeed once. If it doesn't work, as long as the Fourth Master has you in his heart, it's a matter of time to reach the sky. Mom and your father have been counting on you for the rest of your life. If you make a fortune and let your father calm down, you won't always nag your mother for not giving birth to a boy for him and think about taking over the girl." The Tong family's earnest instructions.
"Mom, when is it now? You are still nagging these things." Xiangxiu was a little impatient, and then cleaned up a little, then straightened her chest and went out with confidence.
Walking to the door of the study, Xiangxiu suppressed her thumping heart, cleared her throat, and called out in a sweet voice at the door, "Fourth Master, I'm here to bring tea to the Fourth Master."
After waiting for a while, no one inside responded. Xiangxiu still pushed open the door and walked in.
Turning the screen, Qi You was sitting upright behind the desk, holding the book in his hand, looking down at him and looking at him in a daze.
Xiangxiu bowed her knees and said softly, "I am sending tea to the Fourth Master."
Qi You raised his head from behind the desk and saw a girl in a light summer dress holding a tea set in her hand, but a whole set of tea sets, followed by a little girl holding a kettle. Qi You narrowed her eyes unconsciously.
Xiangxiu was happy to see that Qi You did not reprimand. The little girl took Xiangxiu's money and only brought the water in, so she stepped out. Xiangxiu looked around and saw a short table at the bottom of Qi You's desk. She gently placed the tea set on the short table, facing Qi You, and knelt down beside the short table, and began to cook tea.
Xiang Xiu pinched the orchid fingers with her hands, and tried her best to recall the appearance of the master when she was learning the arts. She deliberately raised her sleeves and exposed her fair arms for a while. She couldn't hear any movement in Qi You, so Xiang Xiu timidly glanced at her.
Qi You was still paying attention to the book in her hand and did not look at her. Xiang Xiu felt a little discouraged. She tried her best to do every move perfectly and elegantly. Thinking that Qi You also loved tea ceremony, she could look at her differently when she saw her like this.
Xiangxiu glanced at her and couldn't help but take a second look. Because at home, Qi You's hair was simply tied, a long robe with dark patterns in the moon, and a ribbon with jade flakes tied around her waist made him look taller. Xiangxiu's eyes then fell on Qi You's face, with a high nose bridge, long eyebrows raised diagonally, and plump lips. Qi You's side face showed a bit of coldness in perfection, but it made her feel even more obsessed. This is the most handsome man she has ever seen, and the family background, status and future behind this man seemed to be golden light. Xiangxiu's heart beat violently uncontrollably. The man who appeared in her dreams many times is now alone with her, close to her.
The water overflowed from the teacup and splashed on his hands. Xiangxiu quickly calmed down her mind. The fragrance of tea spread. Xiangxiu stood up, held a cup of tea, and delivered it to Qi You's table in a graceful manner.
"Fourth Master, please have tea."
After saying it twice, Qi You finally looked up.
Xiangxiu couldn't help but blush, turned her face slightly, but then gave Qi You a look of reserved, shy, and charming look. This was the result of her practice in front of the mirror for a long time.
"Do you understand the tea ceremony?" Qi You asked.
"Yes, when I was a child, I learned from my master for a while." Xiangxiu replied hurriedly.
Qi You glanced at Xiang Xiu's raised fingers, and Kodan was as red as blood.
"You are grandma's dowry girl? What's your name?"
"Maid, maid's name..." Xiangxiu was about to say that her name was Xiangxiu, but suddenly she changed her mind. Her real name was Yanzhi, and Xiangxiu was too ordinary and she didn't like it. However, Xun Qingran said she wanted her to change it, so she could only recognize it. Once she chatted with Citron. Citron knew her nickname and praised it as a good name, "It's not like what we should call her, but it's an excellent name, and she was kind and charming." She thought Citron's words were very popular, so she complained to Citron, "This name has not been violated by anyone, and grandma wants to change it." Citron just smiled at the time and said, "It's just that my sister's original name is too popular. Don't mention it with these girls and women in the future, so as not to be jealous of her sister."
Xiangxiu felt that Citron was right. Xun Qingran asked her to change her name, probably because of jealousy, because there was a rouge mole between Qi You's eyebrows. If Qi You knew that her name was rouge, would she think that this was fate?
"My maid's nickname is Yanzhi." Xiangxiu replied shyly, and raised her face as she said, and glanced at Qi You's eyebrows with a charming look.
……………………
The room was covered by the prayer hall, Xun Qingran looked through the account book, "Jiangyunxuan, is there this place in the mansion?"
The malt, beads and asters who were helping beside each other looked at each other.
"These days, the maids have accompanied grandma, and the mansion is well-known everywhere, and there is no such place." Malt said.
Aster nodded too.
Xun Qingran turned to look at Baozhu.
Baozhu blinked and lowered his head to think for a long time, "I seem to have heard of this name."
Xun Qingran signaled Baozhu to continue.
Baozhu thought about it for a while before saying, "There is an open space near the pomegranate courtyard, and a large area of peonies were planted. Once, my maid talked to the old maid who cared for the peonies. It seemed that it was a small maid before. The old maid was old and didn't say it clearly. It seemed that it was Yunxuan. The maid asked, "How did you change the peonies, but the old maid refused to say it, just said it was the master's order."
Xun Qingran frowned and looked at the accounts involving Jiang Yunxuan in the account book, and always felt that something was wrong.
Malt looked at the account book in Xun Qingran's hand. The album pages were already yellow and some of the ink traces were blurred.
"Grandma, that was from many years ago, why bother to see it?"
Xun Qingran combined the account books, and these account books were numbered by the heavenly stems and earthly branches according to date. This one should have been from nineteen years ago.
Xun Qingran handed the account book to Malt, "Find out all the account book next to the date of this account book, I want to read it."
Before Malt could find Qi's account book, Mrs. Qi called Xun Qingran over.
"Thank you for your hard work, the fourth brother is back. Go back and have a look. There are always times when the girls can't serve you." Mrs. Qi Er said.
Xun Qingran agreed to come out, wondering why Mrs. Qi Er suddenly became so reasonable.
Xun Qingran brought people back to Ningyuanju. As soon as he entered the courtyard, Tong's family came over anxiously.
"Grandma, help me."
Xun Qingran was stunned and saw at the same time that there was a person kneeling on the bluestone floor under the corridor, which was Xiangxiu.
