"His Royal Highness Xu, who is good friends with the eldest young master." Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao said softly and stopped talking, Axiu continued, "The prince and the eldest young master made a joke at that time, saying that this singer was so tall.
That's right, don't you dislike the wife of your family? Why not marry this singer back to make her angry?"
Having said this, Axiu glanced at Su Xiaoxiao cautiously. Seeing that Su Xiaoxiao didn't seem to mind, she continued, "So, the eldest young master married the fourth lady. At that time, the young lady graciously let her
After entering the house, the second wife, who had just been married at that time, made a scene and made the young master look very unhappy. At that time, he did not enter the second wife's room for a month. "
Making trouble? Su Xiaoxiao smiled slightly. This was in line with Mo Qingqing's character. Thinking of the fourth lady who married into the Ding family as a concubine because of Zhu's stupid words, Su Xiaoxiao was really angry. This
Pig is really stupid, he is really stupid, he also interferes in other people's household affairs, is he so busy?
When you see him someday, you must deal with him well!
"Then what is the name of this fourth lady? What is her temperament like?"
Seeing Axiu looking at her strangely, Su Xiaoxiao remembered that the person serving her now was Axiu who didn't know that she had lost her memory. She hurriedly concealed her smile and said, "There are so many ladies in the house, and I don't have the time to remember their names."
.”
Axiu smiled, seemed to accept Su Xiaoxiao's acceptance, and said softly, "The fourth lady's name is Ruyi. I heard that she doesn't like to talk. She doesn't leave the room on weekdays, and she hasn't said anything to the maid who serves her.
The servants all laughed at her for being a dull gourd..."
Su Xiaoxiao's face darkened, "After all, she is the eldest young master's concubine and the master! How can we tolerate people talking nonsense?"
Axiu hurriedly knelt down and said, "I know you are wrong, young lady, please punish me!"
Su Xiaoxiao's confused eyes glanced at Axiu's neatly combed hair. For some reason, she always felt that this Axiu was not simple. However, she couldn't explain where or why.
Hey, maybe she is used to Qiu'er's service, so she doesn't feel good about anyone who is surprised by Qiu'er, right?
"Get up, don't gossip about your masters anymore!" Su Xiaoxiao warned carefully, and Axiu hurriedly responded, "I will remember this, my slave. Thank you young lady for your advice!"
"Then...what else did people say?"
"Ah?" Axiu was startled by Su Xiaoxiao's sudden question, and quickly realized that this young lady was just serious on the surface, but in fact she was just as gossipy as other women, so she smiled and said, "No.
What can I say, I just wonder how the fourth lady who is so silent can be a diva? She also said that the fourth lady is diligent and thrifty, she doesn’t like to spend money, and even the servants have developed the habit of thrift."
Su Xiaoxiao was silent. It seemed that the fourth lady Ruyi really came from a poor family. She was used to being thrifty and had not adapted to the life of a wealthy family for a while. And the servants all looked down upon others. I guess this fourth lady
Life was not easy either.
Thinking of this, Su Xiaoxiao said, "It's okay anyway, let's go see the Fourth Madam."
After saying that, Axiu led the way, found a few gifts, and went to the simple courtyard in the west.
As soon as she entered the courtyard, Su Xiaoxiao's first impression was that it was simple, and her second impression was that it was still simple... well, it sounds simple at best, but shabby at worst.
"Sister, come and see Fourth Sister too."
As soon as Su Xiaoxiao entered the courtyard, she heard a soft and gentle voice coming from behind her. She didn't even need to look back, and she knew it was Bai Xue.
"Yeah, I have nothing to do anyway, so I just came for a walk."
"I heard that the fourth sister is rude. If she conflicts with her later, please don't take it personally." Bai Xue said sincerely. Su Xiaoxiao nodded and looked at Bai Xue again.
More research.
Didn't she just go to her courtyard and cry and say that the eldest young master has been resting with the fourth lady for the past half month? Why did she come to visit the fourth lady now? Doesn't she mind at all that other women took away her favor?
?
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao's confused eyes fixed on her, Bai Xue smiled, seemingly not paying attention to Su Xiaoxiao's gaze at all, and just asked the maid next to her to take the gift and give it to Fourth Madam Ruyi's personal maid.
"They are some ginseng and antler supplements. I can't say how valuable they are. I heard that my sister is weak, so I took them to replenish her health." Bai Xue seemed to be talking to the maid, but her voice was always soft and soft.
At this moment, he was full of energy and his voice was exceptionally clear and loud.
Soon, the woman who heard the voice in the room came out. When Su Xiaoxiao saw it, she felt really bad.
Again, if it sounds nice, it’s simple! If it sounds bad, it’s shabby!
She wears a simple blue sarong without any patterns, and has a simple silver hairpin stuck in her bun. Her appearance cannot be said to be stunning, but she is still pretty. Her face is a little pale, and her figure is very thin, and she seems a little...
Malnutrition.
"Thank you very much, Ninth Sister. It's just that the gift is too expensive and I can't accept it." After saying that, he asked the maid to return the gift to Bai Xue's maid.
Bai Xue was rejected in person, and her face looked a little ugly, but she still forced a smile and said, "This is a little bit of my sister's kindness. Although it is not valuable, I hope you will accept it. If you don't accept it, you will be disdainful of your sister."
These words were really lethal. As expected, Ruyi showed a look of embarrassment on his face. After a while, he hesitated and said, "In that case, thank you Ninth Sister."
After saying that, he asked the maid to take the gifts and put them into the house. During the whole process, he did not look at the precious ginseng and antler medicinal materials that ordinary people had no chance to see. Bai Xue's face became even more ugly, but he still smiled gracefully.
"I was in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts, so just this!" Su Xiaoxiao said, and asked Axiu to take the brocade box in his hand. Su Xiaoxiao opened the brocade box and revealed a pair of green and transparent jade bracelets inside.
He smiled, closed the brocade box, and handed it to the maid next to Ruyi.
Axiu's heart skipped a beat. Su Xiaoxiao's action of opening the brocade box in front of her showed that she didn't trust her. Axiu looked at Su Xiaoxiao who was smiling brightly under the sun, and thought to herself, is this what the servants say is worthless?
Are you a cowardly young lady who has no brains and no ideas?
In just one day, she witnessed with her own eyes that this young lady could change her face as quickly as any concubine. She spoke appropriately, and spoke with a sharp knife in her mouth when retorting. She was cautious and traceless in everything she did. She didn't trust you in her heart, and she didn't trust you in her mouth.
But he doesn't say anything, but he can give you a drumbeat and make you alert.
Axiu felt her back was wet.
"Yes, Fourth Sister, look at how transparent the color of this jade bracelet is. It looks like the best jade at first glance. This is my sister's wish. Fourth Sister doesn't want it..."
To everyone's surprise, Fourth Madam Ruyi ignored Bai Xue's words, took the brocade box directly from Su Xiaoxiao's hand, gently touched the jade bracelet, and smiled slightly, "Fourth Sister, thank you sister for the gift."
Bai Xue's already ugly face was even more ugly at this moment. She carefully prepared the ginseng and antler medicinal materials, but Ruyi refused to accept them. Even if she reluctantly accepted them, she just asked the maid to take them and put them away without even looking at them.
As for Su Xiaoxiao's gift, she not only accepted it personally, but also smiled and thanked her.
"Yun'er, why don't you make some tea for the Young Madam and Ninth Madam?"
The maid who was following Ruyi immediately responded in a low voice and turned around to make tea. Ruyi invited Su Xiaoxiao and Bai Xue to sit in the courtyard and waited for the maid to make tea. Ruyi personally brought the teapot to Su.
Xiaoxiao poured a cup of tea, and then put down the teapot. The maid waiting at the side immediately picked up the teapot and poured Bai Xue tea.
Seeing that Ruyi favored one over the other, Bai Xue was so angry that her face turned blue, but she still managed to smile.
"This tea seems to have never been drunk before. The color is light green, like a lake of blue spring water. Although the aroma is light, it can still be faintly smelled. It comes with the wind and is refreshing." Su Xiaoxiao picked up the tea, sipped it carefully, and said with a smile
, "The taste is slightly bitter, but if you taste it carefully, you can taste the sweetness."
"My sister comes from a wealthy family, so she doesn't know what kind of tea this is. This is a kind of bitter tea from my sister's hometown, which is called Wanghuchun. The farmers are poor and can't afford any good tea, so they picked this tea that grows in the mountains.
The leaves of the tea tree are dried and roughly made into tea. Although it is slightly bitter, if you taste it carefully, you can still taste some sweetness, just like in life, there is sweetness in the bitterness."
Ruyi spoke eloquently, not at all like the stuffy gourd in Axiu's mouth. Her voice was clear and pleasant, and she was born with a good voice.
Bai Xue listened to Su Xiaoxiao and Ruyi chatting in harmony, and felt as if she was being left alone. She interrupted with some unwillingness, "It's not bad for the fourth sister to remember the hardships and think about the sweet things. It's just that the eldest young master likes to come to the fourth sister's house no matter what.
After staying in the courtyard for a while, the fourth sister brought this bitter tea to entertain the young master, it would be a bit inappropriate."
Su Xiaoxiao suddenly thought of the big red robe that Axiu mentioned was divided into three parts, and couldn't help but wonder in her heart if the other part was at Ruyi's place?
It's just that Bai Xue mentioned Ding Shaoze's love to spend the night in Ruyi's room in front of her, intentionally or unintentionally, and she always felt a little uncomfortable. Her chest was tight and congested, making her panic.
I just heard Ruyi put down the tea cup and said calmly, "The young master has a noble status. Naturally, he is no better than us rural people. We are used to living a hard life and have no blessings. A cup of bitter tea and a tile to cover our heads are enough.
The young master is delicate and expensive, how can he drink Wanghu Chun?"
After saying that, no more words, Bai Xue looked a little embarrassed. Su Xiaoxiao smiled and said nothing, thinking that this Ruyi was not as unbearable as the following people said. He was low-key, tolerant, and unassuming. He seemed to be a powerful character, but she
She doesn't like to talk and doesn't interact with others, so everyone underestimates her.
Just when both of them thought that Ruyi would not speak again, Ruyi suddenly said, "Every time the eldest young master comes here, he asks his servants to make West Lake Longjing tea for him. As for other precious tribute teas, I don't have them here."
Su Xiaoxin's heart skipped a beat, as if her thoughts were being read, and her face was a little embarrassed. She accidentally saw Bai Xue, but found that her face was as pale as paper, and her hand holding the tea cup was trembling slightly. Su Xiaoxin couldn't help but feel suspicious, but
