Chapter 965: The icing on the cake, the charcoal in the snow

[There will be tomorrow again.] 】

Sun Mansion, West Cross Courtyard.

Xing Xiuyan sat sideways in front of the dresser with a mercury mirror, first used a plain hairpin to coil up the green silk on his head, and then scanned the bottles and cans on the table and hesitated for a long time, but finally did not move the rouge gouache, only slightly combed the sideburns with tea oil.

As simple as that, she tried to get up from the round stool.

"Auntie!"

Seeing this, the personal maid who was waiting next to her was a little anxious, and blurted out to persuade: "I won't talk about it last night, Aunt Ruan is the only one, and no one in our house can go past her, but you should always fight for it today......"

What she said about her, but Xing Xiuyan seemed to be deaf, got up and went out by herself.

The maid was bored, pouted and stomped her feet, but she could only chase her out stupidly.

The master and servant went out of the outer room, and turned directly down the porch to the Xiangling house at the east end.

Since Xing Xiuyan married Sun Fu, the two have lived together in this West Cross Courtyard, and they have not been separated from Meng Meng every day, and they will not be an exception today.

Just waited for Xing Xiuyan to enter the room, but saw Xiangling wearing a small dress, staring at the rouge gouache and head jewelry on a table and was distressed.

Xing Xiuyan has been married into the Sun family for more than half a year, and she has always been seen to be easy-going and generous, dispensable, but now such a sad and thoughtful appearance is really rare, so she couldn't help laughing.

"Yikes!"

Xiangling jumped up half frightened and half ashamed, grabbed the placket of the small coat with both hands, and complained without a mouth: "Sister, this startled almost scared everyone to death!" ”

Complaining here, he swept Xing Xiuyan up and down, and saw that her body was more plain than usual from head to toe, and couldn't help but remind again: "Sister, I have been running around for most of the year, and it is easy to return to the capital, let's ...... We should always ...... It's always time to ......."

Although she deliberately reminded her, she was not the master who was used to doing things with people, and she knew that Xing Xiuyan was soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and she was actually arrogant in her bones, so when she said it, she was inexplicably a little lacking in confidence.

Xing Xiuyan smiled slightly, stepped forward to take care of herself, selected a few pieces of jewelry, and stroked on Xiangling's head while saying: "The second master is happy to return to Beijing, but now that the concubine is newly mourned, and the eldest lady has gone to the palace to guard filial piety, if we dress up with flowers and branches, I'm afraid it won't be very suitable." ”

is such a reason, but Xiangling always feels that the reason why Xing Xiuyan is unwilling to dress up carefully is not because of taboos.

…………

said that the two of them cleaned up neatly, led Qingwen and a few other maids, and hurried to the main hall of the second room.

As soon as I entered the courtyard gate, I heard the boiling sky under the corridor of the West Wing, but it was Sun Chengyi who led his sister and cousin to chase and laugh under the corridor.

The two small ones were just left, and they were just holding wooden swords wrapped in fine velvet, running back and forth in the corridor.

Sun Chengyi, who is already four and a half years old, is running up and down like a monkey, climbing over the railing, climbing the mountain and drilling the flower garden, and the place he passes is a mess, and seven or eight mothers-in-law can't stop it at first glance.

Pomegranate was jumping on the side, and when he caught a glimpse of Xing Xiuyan coming in from outside, he was overjoyed, and hurriedly took three steps and two steps to meet him.

"Aunt Xing is here! Look at the eldest brother, if you are arguing with the second master......"

Xing Xiuyan gave a slightly calm look, walked a few steps diagonally and coughed heavily.

"Ahem!"

Sun Chengyi, who was enjoying the joy, suddenly stiffened, and when he turned around, his face was even more worried.

He took a few steps forward and bowed respectfully: "Aunt Xing is good." ”

At the beginning, Ruan Rong wanted to hand over her son to Xiangling for enlightenment, but Xiangling's soft temperament, how could she shock this monkey?

Later, Xing Xiuyan married into the Sun Mansion, and her knowledge was above Xiangling, so this errand fell on her.

For more than half a year, he really put a tight spell on this leather monkey - even in front of Ruan Rong, he has never been so well-behaved.

said that Xing Xiuyan bowed slightly, and then his face sank again: "Why didn't you send your homework yesterday?" ”

"This ......"

Sun Chengyi's mouth was stiff, but his two eyes were rolling around, and after a while, he settled in the east room of the hall, pulled the big flag and made a tiger skin and said: "Daddy only came back yesterday, I ......"

"Your dad also likes kids who do their homework seriously."

But Xing Xiuyan had already peeked into his thoughts, and immediately gagged him.

Helplessly, the little guy had to wave goodbye to his younger siblings, and followed Pomegranate to the study dejectedly.

After dealing with this small episode, Xing Xiuyan and Xiangling entered the main room of the hall.

"Sure enough, you're here."

As soon as I entered the door, I heard Ruan Rong smile and said, "Except for Sister Xing, no one in our family can stop that leather monkey!" ”

Xing Xiuyan smiled slightly, but Xiangling next to her couldn't hold her breath, swept around, and said suspiciously: "What about the master?" Did you go out so early? ”

"Where!"

Ruan Rong spread her hands: "Most of them are tired on the road, and they are still lying on the bed at this time." ”

Next to her, Second Sister You smiled, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "It's not necessarily that I'm tired on the road, Xiao Biesheng was newly married last night......

"Go aside!"

Ruan Rong half-truthfully grabbed her, and then glanced at Furong who was standing aside.

Fleur immediately took the little maid and took out a few makeup boxes from the west room and spread them out on the table.

"Come here and take a look, this is what the master brought back from southern Xinjiang - I asked him yesterday, and he didn't have a serious assignment, so whoever has closed his eyes can just take it back by himself."

Everyone gathered around, and saw that there were gold and silver jewelry in the makeup box, and judging by the style, most of them were brought back from the country of Qianxiang.

The others were still pushing, and Second Sister You's eyes were already shining, her mouth was polite, but her hands were already rummaging one by one.

Seeing her like this, others also have a match, pick up that lovely style and look at it.

"Huh?"

At this moment, Second Sister You suddenly snorted, and then turned out a fast handkerchief from a makeup box, and spread it out in front of everyone suspiciously.

I saw that there were faint traces of blood on the plain veil.

"This ......"

Everyone looked at each other for a long time, and finally Ruan Rong sighed first, and said sourly: "Okay, it's good that people haven't brought it back, I've been wandering for most of the year, and I can't point to my master for not getting any meat at all, right?" ”

said so, but guarding the thing that seemed to be red, everyone talked and laughed again, and there was always a reluctance of three points.

Among them, Ping'er is especially important, her gaze falls on the handkerchief from time to time, and every time she seems to be pricked in the eye by the tip of a needle, and she staggers her gaze in a panic.

Crash~

After about a quarter of an hour, I heard the sound of the bead curtain, and Sun Shaozong came out from the inside in disheveled clothes.

Ruan Rong was one step behind others, but she grabbed the handkerchief and threw it into Sun Shaozong's arms, jokingly: "This is the master's heart, don't let us lose it." ”

Sun Shaozong saw that the handkerchief, the body that had just landed on the official hat chair, but he swooped up, and then softened back, and said lazily: "You can also eat thousands of miles of flying vinegar - hurry up, let people put breakfast on the table, I will go to the prince's mansion later." ”

Seeing that he didn't want to elaborate, Ruan Rong also got off the donkey and didn't ask about it.

While ordering Furong to go to the small kitchen to spread the word, she asked Ping'er to take Sun Shaozong's clothes, and the sisters helped him hang them up.

When it was cleaned up, the seven bowls and eight plates were also placed on the table.

Sun Shaozong sat down on the main seat, took the ivory chopsticks from Ruan Rong's hand, and poked them lightly on the table upside down, and the women sat down with them.

waited until he moved the chopsticks first, and then everyone picked up the food and stacked it in his cups and plates.

Only Xing Xiuyan didn't make any moves, pursed half of her cherry lips and asked, "Ye Fang just said that he wanted to go to the Prince's Mansion?" Which...... Narong Guofu ......"

Hearing her mention Rongguo Mansion, all the women also stopped moving.

They have a deep or shallow relationship with Rongguo Mansion, and seeing that the Jia family is about to suffer a catastrophe, it is absolutely false to say that they are not concerned.

Under the gaze of everyone, Sun Shaozong smashed a piece of sweet and sour tenderloin unhurriedly, and only spoke for a long time: "I thought that my trip was the icing on the cake, but I never thought that it would be a charcoal in the snow." ”

After saying this, there is no more follow-up.

The women looked at each other for a long time, Xing Xiu's cigarette butt came in a trance, her starry eyes flashed, and her palms were folded: "Amitabha, this is really blessed by the Buddha." ”

Hearing her say this, Ping'er next to her also came back to her senses, first with joy, then turned white again, and blurted out: "So, Napa......"

After only a few words, she hurriedly swallowed it back, like a pheasant with her neck choked.

"Even what's wrong?"

Ruan Rong asked suspiciously: "What the hell is going on, you guys are making it clear?!" ”

Ping'er pressed the frenzy in her heart and said with a forced smile: "The second master is saying that now that the Qianxiang Kingdom has been decided, the court will not be ruthless in the face of the third girl." ”

The women suddenly sighed that the fortune and misfortune of the Rongguo Mansion depended on luck.

Ping'er was silent again, her heart turned over and over, and she always pondered one thing:

The handkerchief dyed red seems to be the object of the third girl's body!
