Chapter 171 What is embarrassment Chapter 172 The wind direction has changed

Zixuan's original intention of stepping out of the hall was to see off the guests. Although she is a person who can't tolerate sand in her eyes, the little girl Xiao Yue is not really a bad person; it's just that when she raised her foot, she was pulled by Pu Yu and turned her head. Looking into Shang Puyu's eyes, she was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"

"The Empress may not like you getting too close to the Xiao family, or you may not like you getting too close to Prince Jin." Pu Yufu whispered a few words, not a threat but a simple reminder.Her dilemma is to find a balance between the old master and the new master.

Zi Xuan smiled and looked at Pu Yu: "If it were you, what would you do?" The empress would indeed be unhappy, but what does it have to do with her?She can do what she is asked to do, but she can't just leave her whole life to the queen, nor can she leave her future to the queen forever?With few words, she believes that no one in the world likes to be controlled forever.

Puyu thought for a while and nodded: "Ma'am, the embarrassment of the maidservant, Madam' also knows that there are some things that cannot be concealed, and the maidservant can only..., Ma'am, please forgive me." After she finished speaking, she owed I leaned over and didn't look at Zixuan.

Zixuan patted her on the shoulder after listening: "I know. As long as you can be so frank, I don't think our master and servant will have any unpleasant things." She knew what Puyu was doing by her side, but she also She didn't expect Puyu to be so honest, and it was a worry for her.

Puyu bowed his knees and backed away without speaking.She is a person who knows her identity very well, and what she must do to survive is always her first consideration; if Zi Xuan is not such a person, she cannot be so frank and dedicated.

Stepping out of the hall, she saw the skittish flower standing there. Although she didn't look melancholy at 45 degrees, that back made Zixuan feel out of nowhere: the skittish flower is in a bad mood right now.She coughed lightly, and Shui Muxia turned around and cupped her fists: "Ma'am, I will answer Ma'am now to what you said just now——I will leave Madam Huguo's mansion as soon as possible."

Zixuan listened and bowed: "Thank you Mr. Shui', I was too rude." How can I say that Shui Muxia is also her savior, so chasing guests like this is really a bit unreasonable.

Shui Muxia took two steps back with a smile on her face, the usual smile on her face: "Ma'am, don't you think I'm offended by saying this? Ma'am is planning for me, and I'm not an ignorant person." , I should thank Madam'." After he finished speaking, he bowed again: "Ma'am, I will take my leave."

Zixuan didn't expect Shui Muxia to be so neat and tidy, and felt even more embarrassed: "Master Shui, can you show me your face by throwing a banquet for you at night?" Today she finally realized that the flirtatious smiling face was actually She hides a lot of things that she doesn't want people to know - this person is not what she thinks, so naturally she has less dislike for his temper.

Shui Muxia leaned slightly: "Then bother Madam." After he finished speaking, he turned and left without stopping.

Liuli looked at his back thoughtfully, and Zixuan didn't even realize that Puyu tapped her head lightly when she turned around: "What are you looking at? Ma'am, I can't go out today, and I have other things to do. What are you in a daze for?"

"I always feel that Mr. Shui' is becoming more and more serious." Liuli took a look at Zixuan and said, "I remember that when I first met Mr. Shui, he laughed and cursed freely, so there was no formality." , I don’t care about the occasion, but recently the maid feels that he is more and more serious when talking to his wife.”

After hearing this, Zixuan looked back, remembering the conversation in the garden, she shook her head lightly: "Serious? Everyone in the world has become serious, and Mr. Shui' will not change." Is he living a free and easy life?Originally, she thought he was living his own life, but now she was a little uncertain.

The eldest son of the Xiao family is Bai Ding. Is he exiled by himself or the Xiao family did it on purpose?As soon as Zixuan's mind came up, she laughed at herself for thinking too much. Seeing how naturally Shui Muxia spoke in front of the emperor and how casually she entered the palace, he should not be the one who was harmed by others—he would not harm her. People are already very good, how could I think that he would be harmed by others.

In the evening, Shui Muxia stepped out of the flower hall and saw only Wen Zhao and Zixuan at the table. Knowing that Zixuan was really ashamed of him, it made him feel a little uncomfortable: I will stay at the Fuguo Furen's mansion at this time for Zixuan It's very unfavorable, otherwise he wouldn't want to leave even with Prince Jin here; but it's been some time since he left Ding's house, so it's better to go back.

When Zixuan stood up, Wen Zhao had already run to Shui Muxia's side: "Brother Shui, do you really have to go?" He was not loved by his father since he was a child, and he was supported by his elder brother. Now he is very attached to Shui Muxia. He was extremely reluctant to leave.

Shui Muxia smiled and rubbed his head: "It's just going back to Ding's house to live. Although it can't be said that I come to supervise your homework every day, but you don't want to be lazy, my little ruler is not a vegetarian." After making a joke, he nodded to Zixuan: "Please trouble Madam."

Zixuan stretched out her hand to invite him to the table, she also felt a little awkward after saying a few polite words, so she said: "Master, how about trying this dish?"

"Madam's craftsmanship? It doesn't look like it was done by the cook in the mansion." Shui Muxia gave Wen Zhao the dishes after finishing the dishes: "Wenzhao eat more, it's time to grow taller."

Wen Zhao looked at the vegetables in his bowl, and glanced at Zixuan and Shui Muxia: "Brother Shui, my sister gives you cloth dishes. It's a courtesy. You should toast to your sister instead of giving me cloth dishes? It's not me who gave you less words." Bu De Cai." He spoke from the heart, but it was different when Zi Xuan and Shui Muxia heard it.

After Wen Zhao finished speaking, he filled Shui Muxia with wine and Zixuan came over to pour wine: "Sister, brother Shui is gone, we can keep his house and let him come back to live in it from time to time? I'm too young to protect my sister. But with Brother Shui here, I don’t have to worry too much, this place really feels like home.”

Zixuan heard the words and looked at Wen Zhao, and seeing his eyes, she knew that he was just expressing emotion and pointing out other words; but with his words, the wine is not good to drink at this time, so she wanted to reach out to take Wen Zhao's jug: "You..." As soon as he spoke, Wen Zhao just raised the flagon and said, "Sister, I'll do it." But Zixuan's hand was lost, and she was brought to the sleeves, and she touched the chopsticks on the table. to the ground.

It was nothing at first, but with the addition of Wen Zhao's words before and after, it seemed that Zi Xuan dropped the chopsticks in a panic.

Shui Muxia saw that Zixuan's behavior was a little funny, but she didn't laugh out loud. She picked up her own wine glass and ate it all in one gulp, and said, "Why don't you let me do it myself? How much do you want to drink? I..." It was because of his different state of mind that Wen Zhao's words had an impact on his state of mind, so he didn't notice that his sleeve caught his chopsticks at all when he cleared the siege.

Zixuan looked at the chopsticks that fell on the ground, looked at Shui Muxia's hand and glared at Wen Zhao: "Your elder brother Shui can come to accompany you anytime, but speaking of Mr. Shui, he is your teacher, please trouble Shui." Young Master, "It's been so long, shouldn't you toast your Brother Shui?".Then she nodded to Shui Muxia with a smile: "Mr. Shui, don't be rude." After speaking, Shui Muxia withdrew her hand and sat down. Wipe off the splashed soup on her chest.

Shui Muxia sat down with a smile and was about to speak, when the chopsticks in his hand fell to the ground: "It's really a mistake, it's rude and rude." He smiled self-deprecatingly and bent down to pick up the chopsticks, because the hosts picked up the chopsticks by themselves Well, why is he sitting and waiting for the girl to clean up?The most important thing is that he feels uncomfortable sitting without chopsticks, so it is better to find something to do; but he only picks up one chopstick by his feet, and when he looks up, he realizes that the other one is on the left side of the table , stretched his arms to pick it up.

At this time, Zixuan also found a chopstick on her right side, so she also reached out her hand: the two hands almost touched each other, but fortunately Shui Muxia is a martial artist who reacted quickly, and retracted her hand in time.Even so, it was a bit embarrassing, so when Liuli came in, it was a little strange to find the three of them: Shui Muxia drank as much as Wen Zhao poured, and Shui Muxia offered to accompany her to eat once when she drank a cup of Zixuan. Banquet?Is this the case for cloth and shadow movies?Less words are too rigid.

Wen Zhao heaved a sigh of relief when he saw Liuli come in, and handed her the jug, "I have to go out for a while, there are three urgencies for people, and three urgencies for people." He smiled at Zixuan and Shui Muxia and ran out.

Shui Muxia's thoughts were still under the table, and for a moment she regretted that she stopped too quickly, but after regretting, she blamed herself, how could she have such thoughts about Mrs. Fuguo?He is not a person who has seen the world, and his mind has always been flexible, but at this time, he has nothing else to do in his mind, and he looks a little dull instead.

Especially the way he looked at Zixuan as if nothing happened, but just now he saw the rosy glow under the table, even if it faded a little faster, it was not his eyesight; looking at Zixuan's appearance now makes him a little worried , won't be regarded as a disciple by Mrs. Fuguo?few words

Zixuan was fine, although she was a little embarrassed under the table, how could a girl in the 21st century be so embarrassing in such a small scene?After sitting down, she didn't take it seriously, but she didn't have much contact with Shui Muxia, and thought that with Wen Zhao around, the meal would not be too dry, so she could have something to say—she didn't either. Thinking that Wen Zhao, who is usually chatty, would become a jagged gourd today, so she really couldn't find anything to say except let the dishes.

Can't we always talk about Wen Zhao's studies?You can't say that the weather is fine in a few words: in fact, she has already said that.

It's not that Wen Zhao didn't want to talk, he just blamed himself: pouring a drink made both sister and brother Shui have trouble, why is he so stupid?Thus, the three of them became what Liuli saw.

Now that Wen Zhao is gone, Zixuan has nothing to say even though there are many Liuli who are standing by and serving, and Shui Muxia is even more reluctant to let go because of Zixuan besides persuading wine and food.

Both of them were thinking about how the meal was going to be eaten like this. When Wen Zhao didn't come back, Xiao Yue appeared in front of them in the attire of a servant: "Brother is not well, the princess and auntie know about this, Our princess cousin also heard about it, I, I..." She glanced at the banquet: "I'm hungry."

Chapter 172 The Wind Has Changed

Shui Muxia rolled her eyes when she heard this: "No food, tell me first, where are they?"

Xiao Yue pointed to her clothes: "Do you still need to ask? Of course it's in our house, otherwise I need to run out like this? Big brother, I'm so funny? Look at the sweat on my head from running, the soles of my shoes It's all worn down—you won't be allowed to eat, are you my eldest brother?" She gave Shui Muxia a big white look, and said to Zixuan with a smile: "Ma'am, I'm really hungry, they Talking in the room and I listened there, sitting with a backache and not being able to eat seriously, you have pity on me."

What kind of family is the Xiao family? The sixth girl who is regarded as the jewel in the palm of the empress dowager will be so hungry. Who will believe it?But stared at by Xiao Yue's big watery eyes, Zixuan could only tell Liuli: "Bring the bowl and chopsticks for Miss Xiao." Then she asked politely: "Miss Xiao, I don't know if the dishes on this table suit you. If there is anything you like, just tell me and I will let the kitchen get it."

Xiao Yue's eyes widened when she heard the words: "Mrs. Fuguo, you are so kind. You are the biggest and kindest person in the world. I want to eat crystal elbows, squirrel mandarin fish..." She didn't report anything special The names of the dishes are just home-cooked dishes in ordinary officials' homes.

But Zixuan is not an ordinary official family here, so she smiled and shook her head at Xiao Yue: "Crystal elbow, the cook can't get it out now, mandarin fish is not in our house..., I am really sorry." Looking at Xiao Yue With a wrinkled face, even the stingy and frugal Zixuan had to say again: "You can tell that Miss Xiao likes sweet things, right? Are the bean buns good?"

Although Zixuan doesn't like meat, it doesn't mean that a meal requires a lot of fish and meat. She knows the truth about the combination of meat and vegetables; besides, even if she is now Mrs. Fuguo and has a Mrs. Huguo's mansion, she can still eat nothing. She won't waste it until she finds a good job; of course, with her temperament, even if she becomes the richest man in Tang Dynasty, she still won't waste it.

She has never liked sweets very much, and Wen Zhao's two favorite sweets are sticky bean buns and smiles often, so there are ready-made ones in the kitchen; moreover, these two dishes are authentic home-cooked dishes, which are good for children Just right.

Xiao Yue has never heard the name of this dish, but she always likes to try something new and nods repeatedly: "Ma'am is indeed the greatest good person in the world."

Shui Muxia coughed twice: "If you eat enough, you won't be able to hear elder brother's words, right?"

Xiao Yue quickly waved her hand: "I knelt down on the memorial tablet, and I haven't finished knelt down yet. The princesses and noble lords are here. If you want to see me, then..." She raised a hand: "I promise I will meet you when I go back." Keep kneeling."

Hearing Zixuan shaking her head, this kneeling was kneeling, but Xiao Yue made it clear that kneeling was also kneeling in vain, her mind was not thinking about the past at all; of course, Xiao Yue really knew she was wrong, otherwise she wouldn't run away at this hour Report to her: "Miss Xiao, how did you come in?"

Xiao Yue looked at Zixuan: "Goudong. I'm just going to tell you that the Goudong will have a small door in the future, otherwise it will be easy to recruit thieves."

Zixuan looked at her and nodded dumbfoundingly: the person sitting in front of him who crawled in from the dog hole, is he considered a thief?At the beginning, when Xiao Yue was putting on airs in a serious manner, she really couldn't tell that she was such a person.

Xiao Yue stared back at Shui Muxia, and hugged Zixuan's arm: "Ma'am, the good news is that your lords don't want to believe those rumors, the bad news is that they are interested in you, well, you can't just say It’s a bad thing, if you fall in love with them, then no one will dare to know if you walk sideways in Beijing in the future.”

Zixuan glanced at the flirtatious after listening, and the little affection for him in her heart disappeared without even saying a word: The princess is the most difficult to provoke in this world, because she is a royal girl, and she is not born to be unreasonable Humans never reason with others, and they are more difficult to deal with than emperors and queens, because the king of a country and the mother of the world always have to reason to convince the public.

Compared with princesses, it is of course a large group of princesses that are more difficult to provoke, and Zixuan is unfortunately "seen" by several princesses and princesses.Of course, she didn't blame the skittish, she just didn't have such a good impression of him anymore--the princesses would blame the Ding family if she got too close to the skittish, and there would be troubles in the future, Therefore, Zixuan decided that it is better to keep a safe distance from him.

Shui Muxia thought for a while and said: "I'll go back, Madam, don't worry about your lords, they won't come to Madam." After speaking, he got up and called Xiao Yue: "Aren't you leaving?"

"You're going to kill me, big brother." Xiao Yue was very dissatisfied: "I sneaked out to report to you, you asked me to go back with you, when you left, wouldn't I kneel down in front of the ancestral tablet?" Yue? No, you go back by yourself, I'm waiting to eat the two dishes Mrs. Fuguo prepared for me."

After she finished speaking, Mu Xia took a look at the food and drink on the table: "Ma'am, you are also Mrs. Guo, why are you so, so shabby?"

Zixuan took a look at the food and wine, where is the chicken, fish and meat so shabby?Of course, there is no comparison with Xiao's banquet: "It's difficult to manage a house, our parents can rely on us, we can't compare with Miss Xiao."

Xiao Yue glanced at Zixuan: "I think Ma'am is not a stingy person. Madam Guo's monthly salary is comparable to that of a duke or a general. Even if you were a first-rank imperial order before, your monthly salary is no less than that of six departments." How few ministers are there—how much money have you accumulated over the years, how can you say that housekeeping is difficult?"

"Monthly salary?" Zixuan's eyes widened, and she grabbed Xiao Yue's hand: "Is there a monthly salary available?" Why didn't anyone tell her?

Xiao Yue was startled: "Of course there is, isn't that brother?" She turned around and realized that Shui Muxia had already left.

Zi Xuan let go of Xiao Yue and called Pu Yu: "Go and do the math for me, three years..." She looked at Liu Li: "How many months?"

Liuli and her have the same mind: "Three years and two months, less than three months."

Zixuan immediately said to Pu Yu: "Think about three years and two months, how much salary should the first-rank imperial order have, and how much salary should Mrs. Fuguo have by now."

Puyu glanced at Zixuan: "Is it only taels of silver? In addition to the salary, there are rice noodles every month. At the end of the year, the emperor has other rewards, and there is silver in winter..." She didn't quite know that Zixuan asked her to count this. What, but I don't know that it is enough to do things well, this matter has nothing to do with the queen, she is happy to do her best to let Zixuan know that she does not only consider the queen as her son.

Zixuan gritted her teeth: "Everything, if one counts, count it all for me; if you figure it out, we will go to collect the debt." Since she moved to Mrs. Huguo's mansion, she has worked hard to manage her life every day, one copper coin Don't dare to spend it indiscriminately-how can it be so easy to do business?The store front is a trivial matter, mainly contacts, without a strong backing, the business is booming, and attracting people's taboo is causing trouble.

Her "Mrs. Fuguo" is very empty. She is very aware of this matter, so she has not dared to use money to make a living: Of course, she has not thought about what to do to make a living.

She lived her life tightly, calculating every copper coin, but those shameless members of the Ding family took her money to eat and drink, and they wanted to plot why she let the Ding family use her money Delicious food, spicy food - if you eat mine, you will spit it out, and you can't miss a big one.

Xiao Yue looked at Zixuan strangely when she heard the words: "Did you not know that you had a salary all these years? Are you from the Tang Dynasty?"

Zixuan suddenly thought of the deity's dowry, since it is necessary to settle the account, let's settle it: "Liuli, take out my dowry list, and write it down one by one; if you want an account, of course you can't leave a tail. Ding Isn’t the house broke down, so we’ll go ask for the bill in the next few days.”

"Call to the door?" Xiao Yue's eyes lit up, and she stood up: "Ma'am, can I call your sister? Can you take me with you? I also want to call to the door, why are you a lady? It's suffocating to death..."

Zixuan hurriedly grabbed the excited Xiao Yue: "Miss Xiao, I'm just going to ask for money, not to fight." She dared not let the sixth girl of the Xiao family beat someone.

Xiao Yue didn't give up: "What if they don't give it? If they don't give it to us, we'll hit the door, we'll beat anyone we see, we'll smash anything we see, and if we don't give money, we'll sell off the servants of the Ding family on the spot, okay? ? That’s it, I have to go back and get ready.”

After hearing this, Zixuan didn't dare to let Xiao Yue follow her: "I just asked someone to send a post to Ding's family. I want a bill. Ding's family is not a small family, and it's not that they don't have money, so why would they refuse to give it?"

"Will they be willing to give it?" Xiao Yue didn't know Ding's family well, and when she heard Zixuan's words, she probably believed them, and sat down with interest, feeling a little dissatisfied: "If it's bad, it will be bad to the end. If it's too bad, it won't hurt. Ruthless, this Ding family is really not a good thing." In this way, the Ding family was really on Miss Xiao Liu's blacklist; it's just that if the old man Ding and his son knew about this reason, I don't know if they were just laughing. Still crying.

Fortunately, the sticky bean buns and Xiaokou Changkai were delivered in time, and Xiao Yue ignored the matter of going to Ding's house to collect debts when she had something she liked, and concentrated on dealing with the sweets in front of her; when she was full, she hugged Zixuan's arm Hold on: "Sister, good sister, can you ask someone to prepare two more servings, I want to take them home to eat."

After sending Xiao Yue away with two servings of sweets, Zi Xuan and Pu Yu and others went to calculate how much money and rice noodles Ding's family owed her; After all the accounts were sorted out, I realized that it was not her but the Ding family that the noble ladies in Beijing were talking about now—the wind had changed.

Thinking of what Shui Muxia said, and thinking about the faces of Ding's family, Zixuan held her chin and thought: whoever is an enemy of flirtatious people is really unlucky for eight lifetimes, um, it's better to be friends with him.
