businesswoman's wife

Xu Xiuyi succeeded in arousing Su Jiang's despair and hatred for Su Jinyi, and the next thing was much easier. Xu Xiuyi asked Su Jiang to recuperate in Baoningtang first, and she would arrange everything for her. As for revenge, Xu Xiuyi naturally agreed full of indignation.

Based on Su Jiang's current reliance and trust in Xu Xiuyi, she completely thought that Xu Xiuyi was for her good, and even relied on and grateful for Xu Xiuyi.

Xu Xiuyi left Baoning Hall and instructed Ah Fu to take good care of Su Jiang's family. In addition, she asked Su Jinye to show Su Jiang's injury and prescribe the best wound medicine.

Su Jiang's arrangement was properly arranged, Xu Xiuyi wanted to go to An Chengshao's mansion, but after thinking of what she saw yesterday, she gave up her idea. She still waited for a few days to meet An Chengshao in Wuliting outside the city. Then discuss with An Chengshao about her pregnancy.

She was fine in January and two months, and in just a few days, no one would think that her spleen and stomach were sore and weak because she had a child in her belly.

The sudden arrival of the child made her completely unprepared. At the time, she was in a panic. Now that a few days have passed, she has calmed down. Every few days, she has something in her hands, so she has no time to think about the child. .

Let's talk about this for a while.

Days passed, three days passed, and on the morning of the fourth day of the seventh lunar month, the carriage of the Fifth Prince's mansion arrived at the gate of the Su mansion to pick up Xu Xiuyi into the palace.

This is a great honor for Xu Xiuyi, and it is also a great honor for the Su Mansion.

Because the fifth prince is a broken sleeve, the fifth prince sincerely invites Xu Xiuyi to enter the palace, and there will be no more speculation and slander.

The carriage picked up Xu Xiuyi and Jin Yuyinyu, and after walking for a while, they converged with another carriage. Wu Mo got off the carriage and saw that Xu Xiuyi brought two maids, so he sent him to another carriage. Alone with Xu Xiuyi.

The carriage slowly headed towards the palace, and Wu Mo looked at the embroidery pictures Xu Xiuyi was carrying on the carriage, and praised him, "It's really good craftsmanship."

"I didn't embroider it."

Xu Xiuyi told the truth.

The fifth prince smiled and said, "It wasn't your aunt who embroidered it. In fact, I saw that she used flat embroidery and dyeing embroidery techniques. The queen mother has praised her embroidery. The whole picture of her embroidery is even more lifelike. It is often said that in the capital, there is only one famous embroiderer from the Wei family, but I don't know that there is a Su family, who is a master of one-to-one. The embroidered tiger can run, and the embroidered man can express his spirit.”

Xu Xiuyi didn't expect Su Yalan's acupuncture skills to be so vivid in the palace, but it is undeniable that the embroidery skills are indeed very good, and this is sent to the palace, Su Yalan has a lot of intentions, each piece of embroidery, all Is expressive.

"The queen mother probably won't blame me for borrowing flowers and offering Buddha with my aunt's craftsmanship?"

The empress dowager Xu Xiuyi saw in her memory was a very kind old lady, so she dared to ask Su Yalan to embroider for her. She never thought of taking credit. When she submitted her work, she simply said that Su Yalan was thinking of the empress dowager for these years. The care and love of the mother, so I want to send something for the queen mother and the queen in person.

As for Xu Xiuyi herself, how could she not prepare another gift for her?

Wu Mo glanced at the embroidery, and saw a box on the side, so he asked, "What's in here?"

"Our new herbal tea from Baoningtang."

"Herbal tea."

Wu Mo was very curious about things.

Xu Xiu recalled: "It's a medicine, not a medicine. It's mainly used to cool down and detoxify, and to put down fire to remove dryness. It's okay to eat more, of course, it won't work. This thing is good for the human body. It is easy to make and has a smooth taste. "

Hearing Xu Xiuyi say this, the greedy worms in Wu Mo's stomach all screamed and hurriedly said, "Go back and share some with me."

It looked a bit naughty.

Xu Xiu recalled: "Your Highness likes it, I can personally go to the house to make it for you."

"That's great. By the way, you can also call Cheng Shao. You haven't seen him for many days, haven't you?"

Xu Xiuyi was silent. After the silence, she raised her head to look at Wu Mo. She couldn't tell what color it was, and said, "I've been there, but I just saw Qin Yan and her father. I thought it wouldn't be convenient for me to show up, so I left. "

Wu Mo twitched the corners of his mouth: "You know."

"kindness!"

"Young Master Cheng is still worried about how to explain it to you. You said that Qin Yan is too shameless. I'm telling the truth. Although we also drank together, but I haven't seen it before. A woman is so shameless, no matter how much I like your brother, at least I will not threaten your brother with my life, let alone oppress your brother with my identity, this Qin Yan. Xiuyi, you and I Say, you don't care about her, what he was like in the past with Young Master Cheng will be the same in the future, Young Master Cheng I know best, and once he has decided, he will never let go, he only likes you alone."

Wu Mo said a great deal, Xu Xiuyi blushed, and hurriedly said, "I know."

"It's also good if you don't go to Young Master Cheng. You can't see what you see. Boss Qin has entered the palace to build a screen for the Prince's coming-of-age ceremony. She is alone at home and no one cares about her. She goes to Young Master Cheng every day. I have suffered, in order to help Young Master Cheng deal with her, I have given Young Master Cheng the time to see your brother."

"Thank you, when will she leave?"

"Let's go, I'm not sure, but the Queen Mother's intention is to let Boss Qin build the screen in the palace and then go out of the palace and go back outside the gate. It will take more than a month to say it."

"Oh."

Xu Xiuyi's mood was very complicated. For more than a month, she naturally tried her best to avoid seeing Qin Yan. For nothing else, just for An Chengshao, she didn't want to have a head-on conflict with Qin Yan.

Qin Yan has an extreme temper. If it is provoked, she will cut her veins and commit suicide. Xu Xiuyi is not afraid of her death, but she does not want her to die in the hands of herself and An Chengshao. After all, Duke Qin is very kind to An Cheng. There are three strengths and two weaknesses. How should An Chengshao deal with himself in front of his benefactor.

However, when he thought of Qin Yan's unbridled domination of An Chengshao, his heart was very depressed.

Wu Mo probably saw through her thoughts, and came over and whispered to her: "Don't worry, she won't leave, Cheng Shao can really do what she wants, and Cheng Shao will have a batch of goods in a few days, and he will escort him personally. , Said to be escorted in person, in fact, it was nothing more than wanting to avoid Qin Yan, Cheng Shao entrusted me, trying to let you two meet, it is better to hit the sun if you choose a day, I will take you directly to my other courtyard when you come back with a reward. , Young Master Cheng, I've already been in the ward, I'm afraid I'll be waiting for you in another courtyard right now."

My heart skipped a beat, and it was a small joy. After all, I haven't seen him for many days, and I miss him very much.

She nodded, her face slightly shy.

The carriage entered the palace gate, like a nine-layered palace, exactly the same as the palace in memory. It was majestic and solemn, with a palace in three steps and a corner tower in five steps.

Compared with the Forbidden City in Beijing in the previous life, it is even worse.

After Wu Mo got off the carriage, Xu Xiuyi suddenly remembered Qin Xu. She had brought Qin Xu into the palace when she was better. She was busy these few days. She was thinking about Qin Yan all the way in the morning, but she forgot.

"Qin Xu, we agreed to take him. You see, I forgot about him."

she said.

Wu Mo had an indifferent expression: "He will have the opportunity to enter the palace in the future. Boss Qin made a screen for the Queen Mother, and the Queen Mother naturally wanted to allow him some benefits. He said that he didn't want money, just wanted Qin Xu to enter the official school in the capital. The Queen Mother was generous and directly I arranged Qin Xu to be a companion to the seventh prince, and I will be in the palace in the future, I am afraid that I will not be able to see the palace, so let's go, and I will greet the queen mother."

Ciqing Palace, a pair of bronze tortoises and cranes are separated on the left and right, a plaque with golden characters on the bottom of the basket, three characters of majestic characters written by flying dragon and phoenix, red walls and yellow tiles, glazed palace, extraordinarily luxurious, and the old woman sitting on the position of the queen mother. , wearing a purple gold dress, with a golden phoenix crown on her head, elegant and luxurious.

Xu Xiuyi and Wu Mo met the Queen Mother together, and the Queen Mother looked charitable, just like what Xu Xiuyi remembered, gave Xu Xiuyi a seat to Wu Mo, and ordered the maid to see the first-class Snow Mountain Lotus Tea.

Xu Xiuyi has heard of this kind of tea. Because it grows on the top of the snow-capped mountains, it is extremely precious. It costs ten or twenty thousand gold. In the palace, no one except the emperor and the empress dowager can eat this kind of tea. Now the empress dowager brings such precious tea to entertain Xu Xiuyi. And Wu Mo, one sees that she likes them very much, and the other shows that the queen mother is indeed a loving person.

Xu Xiuyi was busy presenting the gift she had prepared and the few embroidery pictures. The queen mother looked at the embroidery, her eyes as bright as Wu Mo's: "Lady Lan's craftsmanship."

Xu Xiuyi hurriedly said, "The Queen Mother, you have good eyesight."

The Empress Dowager fondled a few hands, as if she had let go of Su Yalan's injury to the emperor's dragon body. Looking at her eyes, she seemed to miss Su Yalan a bit.

"Is Lan girl okay?"

"Fortunately, I always say I miss the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother."

"Aijia also misses her very much, a very lovable girl, looking at the peony and lotus embroidery, it's lifelike, I can tell at a glance that this is her craftsmanship. About to drink the northwest wind."

"The empress dowager's love, Xiu Yi will definitely convey it to my family..." After saying this, I don't know what to call it.

It would be inappropriate to call the second aunt, after all, this aunt is gone, where did the aunt come from.

After thinking about it, he called out "Second sister."

The queen mother smiled, took off a bracelet she was carrying, and handed it to Xu Xiuyi: "She likes Hetian jade very much. You can pass this bracelet to her and tell her to live a good life."

"Thank you Queen Mother."

"What is this?"

The queen mother saw the thick nanmu box, reached out and touched it, and said in surprise, "It's cold."

"Iced, this is the new tortoise paste from our Baoningtang. It is for honoring you, the Queen Mother."

"It's odd, Turtle Cream, is it possible that there are turtle shells and Poria?"

"The queen mother is very powerful, but not only put these two herbs, this is a secret recipe developed by our Baoningtang for many years. It is suitable for eating all year round. It can be used to remove dryness in autumn, heat in summer, and dampness in spring. It can be used for a long time. Usually, it can be eaten as jelly, but the jelly is served with chili salt and vinegar. This is served with honey and milk or goat milk. It tastes very good. I also reserved a small dessert for the queen mother. A few mouthfuls."

The queen mother smiled kindly, and the servant next to her came over and opened the box. There was a fresh medicinal fragrance, which was not objectionable. The list of medicinal fragrances contained slag and a cold air, but it was very comfortable.

There is also a fragrance of milk and honey, although the color is a little dark, but the black is crystal clear.

There is a small triangular cake next to the turtle paste. Rao is the queen mother, the emperor's mother, and the royal chefs in the imperial kitchen are all top-notch chefs in the world. She has never seen such cakes.

Even Wu Mo came over curiously.

"This black one is the tortoise paste, what is it?"

"Cream cake, Queen Mother, try it."

The queen mother picked up the spoon to eat, but the servant came over, but she waved back.

"There is no need to test poison for things made by the girls of the Xu family."

Both sides ate some, and the queen mother was full of praise.

"Although the Guiling paste is slightly bitter, it is very smooth. After it is iced, it is wrapped in honey, sweet but not greasy, cool and moisturizing. Not bad, not bad, Aijia is getting angry today, let's see if it works tomorrow."

"Although it won't be immediate, it's cool and cool, and the Guiling ointment is a hand-selected top grade. Our Baoningtang is a century-old brand. This tortoise ointment is practical, and it is said that the effect is good."

The queen mother smiled lightly: "This girl, she is good at business and eloquence. It's completely different from the last time I saw it. This tortoise paste is very delicious. Aijia likes it very much. From tomorrow, I will ask you to Baoningtang every Send some in every day, and the Aijia will give it to the girls in the harem to eat. The weather is so hot, it's just right to defeat the fire for these girls, and not cause trouble for the Aijia."

"Hehe, Empress Dowager Chitose."

"Girl's mouth is sweet, this tortoise paste is delicious, this cream cake Aijia may be getting old..."

She paused for a while, Xu Xiuyi felt a little mysterious, but she heard her praise.

"This soft pastry is glutinous but not sticky, sweet but not greasy, with a white layer on the top, it melts in your mouth, soft and sweet, it is really delicious in the world, girl from the Xu family, no, now I will call you the daughter-in-law of the Su family, you If you open a store and sell this, Aijia will pay, the only requirement is to leave a piece for Aijia every day."

The queen mother said this, naturally most of it was joking, but she also saw that she liked this cream cake very much.

Xu Xiuyi said generously: "I can't even take care of a pharmacy, how can I have the ability to do other livelihoods, the queen mother likes it, I will teach the chef of the royal kitchen how to make cream cakes, it will definitely be better than me. ."

The queen mother probably really liked it, and she immediately called someone to invite the royal chef. Xu Xiuyi saw that the queen mother was full of interest, and told the royal kitchen all the steps vividly. The queen mother also called the royal chef of Famen to quickly get one out, and then got up and pulled Xu Xiuyi's With his hands, he said in good spirits, "Let's go, let's enjoy the flowers, and when you're tired, ask the imperial kitchen to bring cream cakes."

The Lotus Appreciation Party is held once a year in the palace. In July, when the lotus flowers are at their peak, in the Taiye Pond in the palace, twenty or thirty kinds of lotus flowers were planted early. , The fragrance of the lotus is fragrant, and the smoked person is drunk with a face.

The queen mother always took Xu Xiuyi by her side. Xu Xiuyi knew very little about lotus flowers. The queen mother asked the maid to tell Xu Xiuyi one by one. Xu Xiuyi listened carefully. The queen mother occasionally said a few words to the queen. .

The two concubines of the Su family had an accident, and it was only because of the help of the queen that they were able to be released lightly.

While everyone was enjoying the lotus, Xu Xiuyi delivered several pieces of embroidery that Su Yalan had asked her to bring along to the queen.

The queen looked at it for a while, and showed a gratified smile: "It seems that she is doing well, and there is no sadness in this embroidery, so she conveyed her greetings for me, and said that the palace compound is surrounded by high walls, if you go out , don't come in again."

This seems to have something to say.

Seeing the empress smiling faintly and looking at her indifferent look, Xu Xiuyi really likes such a woman.

But the queen is the queen after all, and she didn't dare to talk much after she sent the painting, and turned to the crowd to look for the noble and little master of her family.

Su Yacai was deprived of her title because she was implicated by Su Yalan, and she will be for the nobles. Among this group of people, except for the few ladies and wives invited from outside the palace, the nobles are of the lowest ranking.

Without thinking, Xu Xiuyi walked towards the end of the crowd. Sure enough, she saw Su Yacai standing alone in the distance.

When she married into the Su family, Su Yacai had already entered the palace for a long time, but Xu Xiuyi had a relationship with Su Yacai when she entered the palace at a young age, so she still remembers her appearance.

Seeing that she was alone, others seemed reluctant to live with her, and they also felt that the Queen's words were actually quite reasonable.

This imperial city is a besieged city, how many people want to come in, and how many people want to go out.

In this canary's birdcage, people look at the canary's beautiful scenery, but in fact, who knows the loneliness and loneliness of the canary.

Xu Xiuyi walked over and was startled by Su Yacai. She probably didn't expect someone to chat with her, but when she looked back, it was Xu Xiuyi. She didn't recognize Xu Xiuyi. It was really when Xu Xiuyi entered the palace that she was a splendid concubine of the moon. Xu Xiuyi would be her brother's wife, so I didn't pay much attention to it.

Later, Xu Xiuyi married into the Su Mansion, and she couldn't go back to see it, so when she saw Xu Xiuyi calling her little master, and then looking at her dress, she thought about it, wondering if she was a lady from a certain family. She didn't know that she was a concubine, so she decided to Come and chat with her.

Otherwise, if it is a concubine and nobleman Zhaoyi, who would dare to say a word to her, everyone knows that there is no empress, and she has either entered the clothes washing bureau or gone to the Siyiku to be a slave.

"you are?"

She asked cautiously, as if she was afraid of scaring people away.

Xu Xiuyi took out a small pouch from her pocket and handed it to her: "My lord, I am Xiu Yi. This is what my mother asked me to bring to you. Inside is a 5000 tael silver note. You can go around the palace alone. They have to be sent away, it is better to have some money with you.”

Hearing this, Su Yacai's eyes instantly became wet, God knows how wronged she was in the palace.

Especially the gap of falling from the cloud to hell, she felt that life was boring every time it was tortured.

Now that I see people who come from my parents' family, how can I not be sad and tearful and feel wronged.

But this is in the palace, how can she be seen by others, with those two packets of tears wrapped in her life, she dare not fall, but her voice is a little choked up.

"Is your mother okay?"

"You're fine, you don't need to worry about it, and the second sister is also fine. Here is the purse that the second sister gave you. Let me say sorry to you."

When it comes to Su Yalan, Su Yacai naturally resents more or less, but she has already figured out these days and nights. Everything is probably her life. That day, the emperor originally called her to serve the bed, but she came here. Yuexin, the emperor only changed Yalan, and it turned out that things like that.

"Forget it, my silly girl, is she doing okay?"

"It's alright. After eating fast and chanting Buddha for a while, I have gradually recovered. By the way, eldest sister, I gave it to you myself."

Xu Xiuyi took out a box, which contained the health-preserving pills that Su Jinye had prepared for Su Li's family. In fact, they were Wuji Baifeng Pills. They were very good for women. Su Jiang's family gave her some, but she didn't eat them, so she borrowed flowers and offered them to the Buddha. .

"Thank you, why are you here today?"

"The fifth prince brought me here."

Xu Xiu recalled.

Su Yacai was slightly surprised: "Do you still have friendship with the Fifth Prince?"

Xu Xiuyi gave a haha: "If you don't have a friendship that you don't know each other, why is the eldest sister here alone? If you don't go to the lively place over there, the lotus flowers here are not worth seeing."

When Su Yacai was asked by her like this, her tears were about to fall again. She would hold back her tears. The queen mother sent someone to greet Xu Xiuyi. Before she could say a word to Xu Xiuyi, Xu Xiuyi left.

She turned her head, tears rolled down her face, she was busy wiping her dry, and she continued to stare blankly at the pond full of lotus flowers in a daze.

The queen mother called Xu Xiuyi to come, meaning that the cake was out of the oven, and it would be delivered in a while, and asked her master to check it out.

Shaoqing, the royal chef brought the cake. After Xu Xiuyi tasted it, she was full of praise. This royal chef is the royal chef, and it's all right. Moreover, some flowers are decorated in an ingenious way. The whole cake is more elegant in style and beautiful in shape.

The imperial pantry made a lot of things, and the concubines ate it very happily, because it was a gift from the queen mother, and because this cake was unique and delicious, everyone was full of praise, and Xu Xiuyi now became famous in the palace with a cake. .

After a long while of rewarding the lotus, I watched what I should watch, what I should eat, and what I should play. When it was time to leave the palace, the Queen Mother did not call her away.

It turned out that the queen mother liked Xu Xiuyi very much. When Xu Xiuyi was not yet married, the queen mother wanted her to be the crown princess, but she didn't expect Xu Xiuyi to get married last year. Even so, the queen mother still liked her and wanted to keep her in a kilometer. accommodation.

Xu Xiuyi was full of embarrassment, and she wanted to show flattered joy on her face. The appointment with An Chengshao was probably going to be missed again. She could only ask Wu Mo to send a letter, don't tell An Chengshao to keep waiting.

I don't know why, but when did it become such a difficult and embarrassing thing to meet.

Hey!

It is a great honor to live in the Empress Dowager's Ciqing Palace at night, but Xu Xiuyi has not slept all night, and all she is thinking about is An Chengshao.

Just like this, until the cock crowing, the queen mother simply stopped keeping her, she left the palace, and she hurriedly went to An Chengshao's mansion without worrying about whether she would meet Qin Yan or not.
