Fair Lady

Shu Yao was taken aback, Pei's family has been raided, everyone from the master to the servants has been arrested, generally speaking, they will be beheaded, exiled, sold as official slaves, or even pretended to be official prostitutes.

That green figure is obviously a girl, a servant of the Pei family (the master is usually hard to miss)?Or a thief?

Shuyao smiled and shook her head, what does it have to do with her?

With sharp eyes, Bai Jin saw the change of expression on Shuyao's face, and looked out of the window curiously, but saw nothing.

The carriage of the Two Marquis Mansion drove forward, quickly turned a corner, and disappeared at the three-forked intersection ahead.

Behind a big tree outside the wall of Yuncaifang, a woman in green leaned out. Most of her face was covered by a green veil, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. It is the color of pain that only people who have experienced great suffering and torture have.

The woman smiled wryly: Princess Fuxing is indeed not a "curious" person, and she doesn't like to meddle in other people's business!

Sighing lightly, she turned and walked away quickly.

On the streets of the capital, there were quite a few women wearing veiled hats and veils, but the woman in green did not attract the attention of others.However, she still kept an eye on her surroundings, especially the situation behind her, as if she was trying to prevent being followed.

After walking for about three quarters of an hour, turning seven or eight streets, the woman in green came to the door of a small courtyard, knocked on the door and glanced around and behind vigilantly.

A gray-clothed woman came out and opened the door: "Girl, are you back? Brother Xiu has been waiting all this time, and he refuses to take any medicine. No, I just fell asleep when I was tired."

The woman in green frowned.He said lightly: "This sleeve, the more I love it, the more irritable I am." The words were clearly reprimanded, but there was a deep affection in the voice.

The two closed the door and walked in. This is a very small yard. There are only two rooms, a small living room, and a small kitchen. The so-called yard is just a small open space. A chicken coop was built, and four chickens were pecking in it.

The yard is small and dilapidated though.But it was neatly tidied up, and the ground was clean. It can be seen that someone cleaned it every day.

In the living room, apart from a set of simple round tables and chairs, it is more like a small silk dyeing workshop, with more than a dozen barrels filled with paint and flower petals on the ground.Silk threads of various colors are hung on the high and low horizontal bars, and there are several color palettes and various powdery, paste-like, and water-like materials on a long table against the wall. In front of the long table is a mouthful of cauldron.

The woman in green took out a purse from her arms: "Mother Cheng, there are 200 taels of silver bills, some jewelry and broken silver, and the land deed of this yard. Please be a mother."

Cheng's mother's face turned pale all of a sudden: "Girl, you...you...are you having a seizure?"

Su Ran shook her head: "No. There are still two days."

Mother Cheng burst into tears: "Girl, aren't you going to ask Princess Fuxing to save my brother? Girl, why don't you come together...?"

Su Ran smiled wryly: "Mom, Princess Fuxing is not a doctor, but only knows Dr. Gao and Daoist Wu Zhenzi. We are desperate, so we hope to ask her to help us, and at the same time, get a bit of the blessing of the princess. But seeing the princess is not so It's easy, just in case someone knows the real identity of me and Xiu'er..."

Mother Cheng was stunned for a moment, and murmured: "Everyone says Princess Fuxing is a good person. That's why he has such great luck. And... And, our brother's silk dyeing technique..."

Su Ran waved her hand to stop Cheng's mother's words: "Where are the masters of Fuxing County and the Second Marquis Mansion coveting silk dyeing skills?" And those who want to greedily possess silk dyeing skills will only use various means to control their sisters. Brothers.Relatives are like this, can you still count on others?What's more, now...

Therefore, Princess Fuxing and the House of Two Marquises are probably Xiu'er's last hope. As long as Xiu'er can live well, she will have nothing to worry about.

Cheng's mother wanted to say something else, Su Ran stuffed the purse into her hand: "It's Xiu'er's birthday in ten days, Mom, you kill a chicken today, we'll make it ahead of time. That flower hen is not Stop laying eggs? Come back tomorrow and buy some chickens.” Xiu’er likes to eat chicken and eggs the most.

Mother Cheng wiped her face with a towel, and said tearfully, "Hey, I'm going to kill chickens for cooking, girl, go in and accompany brother sleeve."

Su Ran nodded in agreement, and walked towards the innermost room, which was the room of her younger brother, who was also her most important relative in this world, Cheng Xiu.

Looking at Su Ran's back, Cheng's mother's nose was sour, and tears fell down again.What two wonderful children, they should be young ladies and young masters who are supposed to be well-clothed and well-fed, but...

When Suran entered the room, Cheng Xiu was still sleeping on the bed, because Xiu'er had been taking medicine all year round, the room smelled very strong.

Seeing Xiu'er's pale and peaceful sleeping face, Su Ran couldn't hide her sadness. This younger brother, who was two years younger than her, was born with fetal poison and hadn't left the medicine jar for 19 years.

I don't know if it's the effect of fetal poison on the brain. Xiu'er didn't start talking until he was five years old, and he seldom spoke.Apart from Suran and Cheng's mother, Xiu'er never said a word to anyone else.Xiu'er was only ** years old back then, no matter how those people threatened him, even whipped and needled him, Xiu'er didn't say a word other than screaming in panic, let alone the formula for dyeing.The doctor said that Xiu'er had suffered from a strange stupidity, and the Taoist priest and nun who invited him said that some of his three souls and seven souls had left the soul.In a word, there is no cure.

However, it happens that this incomplete and stupid Cheng Xiu can dye the unique and beautiful colored silk thread in the world.

Su Ran affectionately shook his younger brother's right hand hanging by the bed, Xiu'er was already 19 years old, except for the time when he was kidnapped to ask for the formula, and once a month he went to the mountain not far from here to pick flowers and grass, and look for coloring materials , seldom left this small yard, his only pleasure, or the only thing he is willing to do is coloring and dyeing silk.

Referring to the materials retrieved by Xiuer, the Pei family would also send similar things for him to study and choose from time to time.What makes the Pei family feel sorry is that even if they stand by and watch the sleeves mix the dyes, there is no way to copy them.If you push him too hard, watch him closely, or disturb his work, his sleeves will scream, or he will shrink into a corner, and he will not move for several hours.

Not being able to write down the recipe meant that as long as Xiu'er died, the Pei family would never be able to dye such beautiful silk threads again.Master Pei and the young master of the Pei family, Pei Shaoqing, tried all kinds of methods for this, but there was nothing they could do about this "fool".We can only send people to collect all kinds of dyeing secret recipes in Waifan, Northwest, Southwest and other places for future use, so as to continue Yuncaifang's position in the industry.

I don't know whether it's luck or misfortune, but Xiu'er, the poor, humble bastard who was unknown in the genealogy and was even abandoned in the womb, was the only descendant who inherited the talent of dyeing silk from the ancestors of the Pei family.It's a pity that no one knew that the colorful colors were made by Xiu'er, and people outside only admired the extraordinary talent of the eldest son of the Pei family.

Fortunately, Xiu'er's world is so simple that there are only various beautiful colors. He doesn't know what is fame or what is profit. As long as he can freely immerse himself in his own world (the small dyeing workshop in the living room), he will be happy. Carefree.

Thinking about it, Su Ran let out a long sigh, everything is fate.

She sometimes regrets asking her father for help, exposing Xiu'er's existence and talent for dyeing silk. As a result, Xiu'er did not regain her status as the sixth young master of the Pei family, but became the "long-term worker" of the Pei family.Even, in order to control their siblings and prevent them from "betraying" or escaping, her father and elder brother gave her a severe poison, and the attack occurred on the fifteenth of each month. If the antidote was not taken in time, she would bleed to death from the seven orifices.

However, if it wasn't like this, without those expensive medicines for them, the fetal poison in Xiuer's body might have killed him long ago, and she couldn't see the joy of Xiuer's coloring and dyeing silk.

Now that the Pei family is down, Xiu'er's medicine will soon run out, and she will die of poison in two days, and she will no longer be able to take care of her brother.

Su Ran squeezed the sleeve pocket on the left. There was a formula for dyeing silk that Xiuer had researched for so many years. It was written down by the siblings one by one. It had been buried under the tree before. Only after she caught them did she dare to dig them out, hoping to exchange them for Xiu'er's safety.

However, people with blood relatives in this world can be ruthless for the benefit, so how dare she trust others at will?An accident can only bring more disasters to Xiu'er and Cheng's mother, so it's better to take Xiu'er and go underground to find mother now.

Xia Shuyao, owner of Fuxing County, is the only life-saving straw that Su Ran can think of.

First of all, the owner of Fuxing County is known to love embroidery and is good at embroidery, and even went to Yuncaifang to select "snap-up" in person. Such a person must not want to see Yuncaifang's silk dyeing skills disappear from the world;

Secondly, the three brothers and sisters of the Xia family are very affectionate and grateful, and their kind deeds to their old neighbors in Yulin Town have long been spread throughout Dazhou;

Furthermore, with the power of Princess Fuxing and the Second Marquis' Mansion, if someone reveals Xiu'er's true identity to make things difficult for them, they will be able to keep Xiu'er.After all, Xiu'er was not included in the Pei family tree at all, and was not recognized by the Pei family.

The question is, will Princess Fuxing be willing to meet her?Will you believe her?

……

Shuyao just returned to Lianghou's Mansion, only felt her ears itchy, she smiled softly, is this Yue'er talking about her again, or is it Xiao Bao'er?

Lan Jin curled her lips, why didn't the princess think it was Ning Shizi?How sad Ning Shizi would be if he found out!

Of course, Lan Jin only dared to complain secretly, her princess has a thin skin, and it's really not easy for a lady to make such a joke.There are strict rules in the capital, and the princess is now a noble person, and many people are staring at her faults. As the first-class maid beside the princess, Lan Jin has become more cautious and prudent over the years.

However, some people and certain things really can’t bear to be talked about. As soon as Lan Jin thought of Ning Shizi, he saw Zijin rushing towards him, and reported to Shuyao with a happy face: "Princess, Uncle Gui just left, saying that Ning Shizi I’m already on my way, and I’ll be back in the capital soon.” (To be continued.
