Chapter 21

When he ran back to Xiao's mansion, his whole body was drenched with sweat, and Xiao Sesu felt lingering fear in his heart.

Luyi didn't know what happened to Xiao Sesel, she was relieved to see her come back intact, and quickly brought tea and water to Xiao Sesel, squeezed her waist and beat her back.

After waving the greenness away, Xiao Sesu took out the music score of the insect flute and studied it carefully.

There are seven tunes in this score, ranging from easy to difficult, exactly the seven realms, collectively called "Wan Gu Accompanying".

Thinking that the dead of night is not suitable for practice, Xiao Sesu sewed a pocket to hold the insect flute and music score, hung it on his waist, and took a rest first.

Practicing hard in the next few days, the first piece of the song gradually felt the essence, and I was overjoyed and worked harder. At the same time, I heard news from Xiao Ke that there were more people going in and out of the housekeeper's warehouse, so I checked it out. I can't tell who threw the centipede in the dowry last time.

On the contrary, Xiao Wencui, who was disfigured, almost recovered by using some magic medicine.She was covered with a veil, and she got angry and made troubles in Furong Courtyard all day long, insisting on Huang Shi and Xiao Shutong to avenge her.

Now that the Huang family has no power over the family, she is worried, even if she wants to help Xiao Wencui, she is powerless.

Xiao Shutong said even more coldly: "Mother, hurry up and marry Wen Cui, so as not to upset the old matriarch again, don't you see that the old matriarch is now the king of the Xiao family?"

"But...but Wen Cui's incident at Sansi Academy has spread throughout Shunjing. How can anyone dare to marry her?"

Xiao Shutong said coldly: "What is gossip, mother doesn't understand? Create some favorable public opinion, and it will naturally overshadow what happened last time."

Xiao Wencui was not reconciled, Xiao Shutong referred the suggestion to Xiao Ke in order to cut off her daydream of becoming Princess Jin.

Xiao Ke also felt that it would be too embarrassing for Xiao Wencui to stay in the mansion any longer, so he followed Xiao Shutong's suggestion, and secretly bought a lot of people to go out to spread the word, saying that what happened at Sansi Academy last time had nothing to do with Xiao Wencui, and she couldn't see others being bullied. Out of righteousness.

The news was spread falsely, and it became true within a few days.Xiao Wencui's reputation turned back a little, and someone from the Xiao Manor came to propose marriage to Xiao Wencui again.

Xiao Ke doesn't like these people, he likes the Yushi Wei's family.

Xiao Ke said to Huang Shi: "Take some time to invite Mrs. Wei here, and have a good talk with her about the marriage, don't mess it up."

"Yes, yes." Huang was obedient, not daring to make Xiao Ke angry anymore.

After all, Mrs. Huang is a thoughtful person. After investigating Mrs. Wei's favorite embroidery, if she can match what she likes, she will definitely be able to marry Wen Cui.

But Xiao Wencui's female popularity is extremely poor, and she can't produce decent embroidery at all, so Huang thought of replacing it with Xiao Shutong's embroidery.

Xiao Shutong lived in the Hanzhu Courtyard in the mansion. When Mrs. Huang passed by, she heard a sound of frantically smashing things.

A vase was smashed at Huang's feet. As soon as she trembled, she saw Xiao Wencui playing in the room.

"I don't want to marry the son of the Wei family! Eldest sister, you actually let your father marry me off, you are still my sister! I want to be Princess Jin, and no one can stop me!"

Xiao Shutong let the exquisite utensils be smashed to the ground, and was still sitting there playing with Kou Dan on his nails, and said coldly: "If you don't stop your idiotic dreams, my mother and I will be with you. Unlucky, I didn't see the old lady Have you already taken away your mother's right to head the house?"

"Bah!" Xiao Wencui spat: "Xiao Shutong, I see through you, you are a selfish bitch! I'm afraid I will hold you back!"

Xiao Shutong's eyes turned cold, "Wen Cui, you are discrediting the Xiao family in Tangcheng. Getting married early will be good for dad. You can't do anything to make dad think you are useful, so don't mess with me."

"Bitch, you're not my sister!" Xiao Wencui picked up a vase and threw it at Xiao Shutong's face.

bang.

The vase was broken, Xiao Shutong turned sideways to dodge, his beautiful eyes were full of coldness.

"You have smashed all the vases, Wen Cui, you only have this little ability, you should be honest and educate your husband and children."

"Xiao Shutong, you—" Xiao Wencui waved his palm and was about to hit him.

There was a slap, and the slap made Huang's feet go limp in fright, and he staggered into the room.

It was Xiao Wencui who was covering his face. He was dazed for a while, and then burst into tears, "Mother! Eldest sister hit me! This bitch hit me!"

"My baby Wen Cui." Huang quickly hugged Xiao Wen Cui in her arms, and said through gritted teeth, "It's not Shutong's fault, so don't cry, Shutong is also worried for you..."

"What?" Xiao Wencui pushed Huang Shi away, "Mother, even you won't help me anymore! I don't want to marry that Mr. Wei! What is he, can he compare with King Jin!"

Xiao Shutong sneered: "Don't fantasize about King Jin, maybe even Young Master Wei still doesn't like you."

"Xiao Shutong!" Xiao Wencui wanted to hit again.

Stopped by Mrs. Huang, "Okay, okay, don't quarrel with your sisters. Shutong, don't say a few words, are you already depressed without seeing Wen Cui?"

Xiao Shutong snorted coldly: This mother and daughter, one lunatic and the other short-sighted, have never seen such a foolish person.

Xiao Shutong said: "Now both father and the old lady are bleak, Wen Cui, if you make trouble again, maybe you will be expelled from the Xiao family by father. Now that the wedding is coming, it is safest to marry you, this is father's decision. "

"It was obviously proposed by you bitch and father!" Xiao Wencui scolded: "You just don't want me to become Princess Jin and be superior to you!"

You can become Princess Jin just because of you?Xiao Shutong said: "I proposed it out of Xiao's honor, the decision was made by father, even if you hang yourself, it's useless."

"You—" Xiao Wencui shouted to the Huang family, "Are you going to marry me to the Wei family too?"

Huang said sadly: "Mother has no power over the family now, and can only listen to your father and the old lady."

"You, you!" Xiao Wencui cried out in anger, "You are just for yourself, not for me at all! Get out! Get out! I don't want to see you again!"

Xiao Shutong sneered coldly: "This is my Hanyuan courtyard, you let me go? Wen Cui, wipe away your tears when you are a little promising, and take care of your husband and children. Mom, take Wen Cui away so you don't have to give me this Han The amaranth courtyard has been demolished."

"Shutong." Mrs. Huang hurriedly said, "Then Mrs. Wei's favorite female red embroidery is the most. Wen Cui's female red is not good. You can lend Wen Cui your embroidery."

"Lend it to me?" Xiao Shutong's eyes showed disgust, "Wen Cui is the one who wants to marry Young Master Wei, not me, mother is not afraid of being exposed?"

"Take one step at a time." Huang begged, "Shutong, please help your sister."

"I can't help." Xiao Shutong coldly refused, "There are not a few maidservants in the mansion who can embroider, mother should let them be."

"This..." Huang has always lost to Xiao Shutong in terms of attitude, and now he can't talk to her, so he can only give up, comfort Xiao Wencui, and take Xiao Wencui away anyway.

As for the embroidery, Huang continued to worry about it.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily in Shunjing.

There are only seven days left before Xiao Sesu gets married, and Lu Yi is very busy. She has already started tidying up Qiu Seyuan in advance, thinking about what to bring to Prince Jin's mansion and what not to bring.

At this time, Huang's personal nanny came to the door and told Xiao Sesu that Madam wanted to borrow her embroidery to observe and study.

Xiao Sesu generously held out the lotus leaf and dragonfly picture and gave it to the mother.

Not long after, Lu Luo, Xiao Zui's personal maid, also came up, saying that the wound medicine Xiao Zui had been applying all this time had run out, and she wanted to ask Xiao Sesu for something.

Xiao Sesu then went to the main hall to get medicine for Xiao Zui.

When we arrived at the main hall, we heard from the guard at the door that the princes came today and were talking with Xiao Ke, so please don't disturb them.

Xiao Sesu had no choice but to go to the flower hall to find medicine.

But the flower hall was also occupied by someone, and it was Huang who led Xiao Wencui to discuss marriage with Mrs. Wei's family.When Xiao Sesu walked to the door, she happened to see Mrs. Huang holding her embroidery and proudly handing it to Mrs. Wei, boasting of Xiao Wencui's female popularity.

"This is... a very peculiar embroidery method." Mrs. Wei touched the embroidery in surprise, and looked at Xiao Wencui with more admiration.

Xiao Sesu knew in his heart that Huang's saying that he was learning embroidery was a lie, and it turned out that he was borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.It is important to take the medicine right now, so Xiao Sesu didn't care about it, knocked on the door and stepped in.

"Aunt Huang, let me get some medicine for the third sister."

Xiao Wencui didn't want to see Mrs. Wei at first, but when she saw Xiao Sesel, all her suppressed anger came up, and she shouted on the spot: "Fool, you dare to come!"

"Wen Cui!" Huang was startled.

Mrs. Wei's expression changed.

Xiao Sesu said in fear: "Second sister, why are you attacking me? I took the wound medicine and left. I didn't come to disturb you."

Xiao Wencui said angrily: "You idiot wears a pair of pants with that bitch and troubles me everywhere. That bitch Xiao Zui deserves it!"

"You are not allowed to scold the third sister." Xiao Sesu's eyes sank, and he walked towards the corner cabinet.

"Stop!" Xiao Wencui broke free from Huang's family, ran to Xiao Sesel, blocked the way, pointed at Xiao Sesel and shouted: "Fool, why are you so lucky to be Princess Jin, you deserve it too! "

Xiao Sesu said, "Let me get the medicine for the third sister first."

"Forget about that bitch hurting to death, but the slave Yangzi still has the nerve to waste the things of the Xiao family?"

Hearing Xiao Wencui's unpleasant words, Huang was anxious to sew her daughter's mouth shut.Mrs. Wei is still here!

"Hmph." Mrs. Wei glanced at Mrs. Huang.It turns out that this is Xiao Wencui's true face, a shrew in the market, who still wants to get involved with her Wei family?
Seeing that Xiao Wencui refused to give way, Xiao Sesu wanted to go around to the left, but Xiao Wencui blocked the left side.Xiao Sesu circled to the right again, and Xiao Wencui blocked the right again.

Xiao Sesu cast a cold light on Xiao Wencui's face, "Second sister, you are so heartless, aren't you afraid of retribution?"

For a moment, Xiao Wencui trembled.She seemed to see the vast snow field in Xiao Sesel's eyes, and there was a kind of vicissitudes and bleakness that she could not see through, as if it was the lonely ice that had been frozen for many years.

However, in just such a moment, Xiao Wencui came back to her senses, and her eyes bulged out of anger.She raised her hand and slapped Xiao Sesu hard.

After the slap, Huang was extremely annoyed and ashamed.

Madam Wei felt cheated, and immediately threw the embroidery to Mrs. Huang with a sarcastic expression on her face.

Half of Xiao Sesu's face was swollen, and he staggered backward.

"Watch out."

She didn't expect to fall into a pair of chests, and this warm and cold calm voice made her ignore the pain, and turned her head stiffly to look at the person who supported her.

It was really him, Yu Wangyan.

Xu Shi was too close, so close that his eyes looked like a thousand-foot-deep Daihu Lake. The lake water seemed to be blown by the warm and cold wind, but there was no slight ripple, only mysterious and unpredictable.

He just helped Xiao Sesu, that's all.

"Jin, King Jin..." Xiao Wencui was dumbfounded the moment he saw Yu Wangyan. Not only did he not realize that he beat up his princess, but he also stared at Yu Wangyan in a nympho.

This made Mrs. Wei despise her to the extreme, and even became angry.

"The old lady has seen your highnesses, and she is not feeling well, so she will leave first." Mrs. Wei saluted and left.

"Madam Wei!" Mrs. Huang quickly grabbed her arms, "Madam Wei, walk slowly, look at how beautiful this dragonfly and lotus leaf picture is." She tried to use embroidery to pull Madam Wei back.

Coincidentally, the fifth young lady who came here also likes embroidery, so she reached out and snatched the embroidery, and suddenly said in surprise: "This is even embroidered with signatures! The embroidery is so delicate!"

Hearing the word "signature", Huang thought it was over.

The embroidery was passed to the old matriarch's hands, but the old matriarch's eyes were blurred and she couldn't see clearly. Fifth Miss took out a concave-convex mirror for her to enlarge the inscribed handwriting.

The inscription was actually the word "Green".

Fifth Miss said: "Who is Lu Yi from? This female celebrity is really skilled, and she is too talented to be a servant!"

Mrs. Wei even thought of beating Mrs. Huang violently at this moment.What are you discussing about marriage!To deceive her with a servant's embroidery is to look down on the Wei family!

The old matriarch gave Mrs. Huang a hard look, and then saluted Mrs. Wei, "It's Lao Shen, this daughter-in-law is too ignorant, Mrs. Wei calm down."

Mrs. Wei had no choice but to give the old matriarch's face, so she forced a smile, "The old lady is not feeling well, so let's discuss this marriage at another time. Your Highnesses, the old lady bid farewell."

"Madame Wei!" Huang still wanted to persuade her to stay, but the old matriarch raised her crutch and gave her a stick.

Huang hurriedly covered her face, her elbow was beaten with a thud.

"Evil, don't kneel down yet, are you going to disrespect and come before your Highnesses!" the old matriarch said angrily, "And you, Xiao Wencui, beat your own sister openly, do you still look like a lady! Who gave you the guts to fight a concubine with a concubine!"

"I—" Xiao Wencui finished, but his eyes were still staring at Yu Wangyan.

But Yu Wangyan didn't set his sights on Xiao Wencui, he was always looking at the embroidery.

"Miss Xiao Wu." Yu Wangyan asked, "Can I show the embroidery?"

"My lord, just take a look." Fifth Miss hurriedly handed it over.

The exquisite and delicate picture of a dragonfly on a lotus leaf was held in the palm of Yu Wangyan, and the cautiousness revealed in his demeanor made Xiao Sesu suddenly feel that his heart was pulled by an invisible thread, followed by a burst of pain.

Hunan embroidery, Zhang Jinse's embroidery method, is rarely known in Shunjing.

He must be thinking about others when he sees things, and he is very sad.

Yu Wangyan said: "Can I meet the woman who embroidered this embroidery?"

The old lady hurriedly asked the accompanying mother to call Lu Yi.

Xiao Sesu couldn't help being nervous. In fact, this embroidery is her lotus leaf dragonfly picture. It's just that a fool who can embroider Hunan embroidery will probably be suspected by interested people. That's why Xiao Sesu deliberately swapped her embroidery with Luyi's signed.Luyi is an orphan girl, her life experience is unknown, even if she knows some special skills, she can't find out thoroughly.

Xiao Sesu had told Luyi about this before pretending to be mischievous, but she was afraid that Luyi would reveal her secrets.
