good wife

Chapter 33 Yuanxi's Visit (2)
That Liu He hurriedly knelt down and said: "Miss, the servant said something wrong, the servant did not mean it, please forgive me!"

Jing Yi glanced at her, but said nothing.

Mother He understood, and said loudly to the outside: "Come here! This lowly servant actually instigated the young lady to do something beyond the distance, dragged her out, and made her kneel in the yard. The young lady did not speak, so she was not allowed to get up."

The maid outside agreed and carried Liu He out.

That Liu He is thirteen this year, she is quite pretty, and she is at the age of first love, she originally wanted to use the guise of a young lady to go and see the sixth prince herself, maybe she would be caught by him at first glance. It is also possible to get rid of slavery from now on.But he didn't realize that stealing a chicken now won't cost him a lot of rice, but he will be fined to kneel instead.

When Haitang came back from the outside and saw Liu He kneeling in the courtyard, someone must have explained the matter to her in detail.

With a look of disdain on Haitang's face, she spat lightly at Liu He, then entered the room and said, "Miss, you should have sent her out a long time ago. Look, if there wasn't some nanny today Now, she might say something to lead you to the outer court."

Liu Xing'er gently fanned Jingyi, and echoed: "Yes, Miss. Slaves, look, this Liu He is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Don't hate Miss because of this incident. To Miss I have other thoughts."

Jingyi put down her pen and said with a smile: "You guys! I just love to worry about it. She is just a girl, how much trouble can she cause? If you have this time, why don't you think about what gift to prepare for your mother in a few days?"

Mother He smiled and said: "Yes, next month will be Madam's birthday, I'm afraid there will be many Madams and young ladies who will come to celebrate Madam's birthday. We have not held a banquet for a long time at the residence. .”

Jingyi sighed lightly and said: "Yes, since my mother was ill, the house has been deserted. It is rare to take this opportunity to have a good time and sweep away the haze. Will the mother's banquet be held smoothly over there?"

After hearing this, Nanny He and the others looked at each other in blank dismay, but dared not speak.After all, it is the business of the masters. No matter how capable a slave is, what can he do with the master?Nanny He sighed softly, turned her head away, as if she was wiping the tears from the corners of her eyes with a handkerchief.

Seeing this, Jingyi was about to persuade Nanny He, when she saw Liuju come in and announce: "Miss, Master and Madam invite you to the flower hall."

"Do you know what's the matter?" It was Nanny He who asked the question.

Liu Ju lowered her head, "The nanny who heard the news said that it seems that the sixth prince has arrived and is drinking tea in the flower hall. Oh, it is said that the second son is going to the palace to be the sixth prince's companion."

After hearing this, Jingyi seemed to realize something.

She already knew about Yuanxi's situation. Yuanxi's biological mother was bestowed to death by the emperor, and was adopted by Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu had nothing to do with her, but Concubine Shu's natal family gradually declined ten years ago.In addition, Concubine Shu is old and fading, and she is not favored, and her temperament is too weak.Now, it is nothing more than an empty claim to the title of Concubine Shu.

He asked someone to change his clothes and tidy up before going to the flower hall.

When we arrived at the flower hall, we saw that the whole family had come together, and Su Cheng's family was also there!It made the originally spacious flower hall look crowded.

Jingyi stepped forward to meet Li, Yuan Xi hurriedly gave her a hand, and said with a smile: "Miss Su, quickly excuse me."

Yuan Xi glanced at Jing Yi with a smile, then turned to Su Wei and said, "Master Su, I have heard that you teach your children well, and now it seems that this is indeed the case."

Su Wei hurriedly said a few words modestly, then turned to Su Ming and said, "Minger, as the sixth prince's companion, you must learn more from the sixth prince and stop being playful."

Su Ming hurriedly nodded respectfully.

Seeing that there was no displeasure on Su Ming's face, Yuan Xi was very relieved. After all, he was an unfavored prince. If he followed him, he might have no future in the future.This time, if it wasn't for several older brothers who were vying for Su Ming to be their companions, using this to win over Su Wei, and even fought, the emperor would not have thought that there was such a son as him.

The emperor simply pushed Su Ming to himself.In this way, not only will the other brothers not be hurt, but it will also pull Su Ming out of the battle for the crown prince. After all, who would be optimistic about an unfavored prince?Don't let the Su family get into this muddy water, Su Wei will still be his lonely minister, this is also a warning from the emperor to everyone!Don't try to win Su Wei over, otherwise, it will only backfire.

Yuan Xi ordered people to present all the gifts, and he ordered people to fetch a small box and bring it to Jingyi.

"Miss Su, I have heard that Miss Su loves calligraphy many times, so I found an inkstone to give to Miss Su, and please don't dislike it."

Jingyi raised her eyebrows lightly when she heard the words, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the sixth prince, for your kindness. In this case, Jingyi would be more obedient than respectful."

Yuan Xi nodded lightly with a smile, chatted with Su Wei and others for a while, then got up to leave.

After Yuanxi left, Jingwei and Su Cheng's daughter Jingmei approached Jingyi, and the seven-year-old Jingmei asked, "Sister, quickly open it and see what kind of inkstone it is?"

Gu Shi and Liu Shi are also a little curious, what kind of inkstone will these six princes give away?

Jingyi saw that everyone was curious, and it was hard to refuse, so she opened the box and saw a rose-purple inkstone lying quietly inside. Suitable for women.The square inkstone is not luxurious, but a little simple, but the color is bright, it looks dazzling and dazzling, but with a few carved orchids on the inkstone field, it does not look tacky, but quiet and elegant.

Jingmei said in shock: "Purple inkstone? This is the first time I've seen it? Sister, what kind of inkstone is this? It's so beautiful!"

This is the first time Jingyi has seen such a beautifully crafted Chengni inkstone, and she is also a little surprised.In fact, she had seen in ancient books that the most famous Chinese inkstone was undoubtedly the Duan inkstone.It's a pity that in this fictional era, she has never seen it before, maybe it hasn't been invented yet.

When Jingyi heard Jingmei asking her, she smiled lightly and said: "This is Chengni inkstone. It is made of filtered fine mud, mixed with yellow dan balls and rubbed vigorously, then put into a mold to shape, carved with a bamboo knife, and put it in after drying. It is fired in a kiln and finally wrapped with black wax. It is characterized by hard and wear-resistant texture, easy to emit ink, and does not consume ink. It is comparable to stone inkstone. The color of Chengni inkstone is eel yellow, crab shell Blue and rose purple are the main ones. It’s not uncommon to have purple.”

The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the heart.Su Wei, Gu Shi and Jingyi's elder brother are proud and gratified that Jingyi can understand so much.

When Su Cheng and his wife heard this, their faces sank. This was to show that she knew a lot. Is her tutor good?On the other hand, my daughter knows nothing, both are seven years old, but the difference is so obvious!

Liu's sour voice said: "Yiyi knows a lot! It's not like our Jingmei, who spends all day learning about knitting girls."
