After returning home, the second wife Guo led Liao and Li Xiangru to Chunhui Hall to pay tribute to their ancestors that night.

Su Xi was there, sitting on the window and talking to the old lady. In front of her was a plate of newly picked cherries this spring. The old lady didn't like to eat them, and said they were so sour, so she pushed them all to Su Xi. Su Xi didn't feel sour at all, and she didn't dip them in sugar cheese. She ate several of them in a while. Since she quit desserts and pastries, the fresh fruits each season have become her only comfort.

After asking the old lady for peace, Guo introduced, "Mother, this is the wife of my daughter-in-law and cousin, Mrs. Liao, and this is my cousin Rujie'er." While saying that, he took Li Xiangru's hand and walked to the old lady, and said with a smile, "My sister Rujie, come and see my ancestors."

Li Xiangru bowed obediently, "Xiangru has seen his ancestors, and his ancestors are prosperous, long and healthy."

At this moment, Li Xiangru changed into a lilac-colored, grape-patterned satin gauze jacket and a pleated skirt. She was much more decent than when she first started, and her behavior was also very suitable. At first glance, she looked like a very well-educated girl. Su Xi looked in the old lady's arms and couldn't help but think of the scene after Li Xiangru married her elder brother. The elder brother had not returned home for several days due to official business. Li Xiangru suspected that he had found a woman outside. He didn't talk about it in the yard, but he ran to Yin's place to make trouble. He was completely like a shrew in the city, which made Yin angry and strengthened his elder brother's determination to give up her.

Unfortunately, Su Xi failed to wait until her elder brother divorced her, so she returned to the age of ten.

Even if the eldest brother divorced Li Xiangru later, he could not erase the pain he suffered in those years. And the source of this pain, Su Xi would completely cut off in this life.

The old lady looked at Li Xiangru and nodded, "He is a pretty girl."

The old lady asked Madam Li around her to take out the pre-prepared meeting gift and deliver it to Li Xiangru. It was a pair of golden silk butterfly-inlaid white jade hairpins. The butterfly wings were polished very delicately and lifelike. Li Xiangru lowered her head to cover up the joy in her eyes, bent her knees and thanked her: "Thank you, my ancestor."

The old lady naturally didn't miss Li Xiangru's expression, but she didn't say anything, and she took her eyes lightly, "Since she is a relative of the second wife, I just stay there with peace of mind. There is nothing big, and the mansion will not treat you slowly."

This is both a polite and a reminder to the mother and daughter not to make any trouble.

Liao family said it was.

Then Guo and Liao talked with the old lady, and Su Xi and the younger girls went to Nuanmiao to chat.

Su Xi and Su Lingrong had nothing to talk to, so naturally they didn't want to talk to Li Xiangru. However, Yin educated her since childhood and was obedient and generous in front of others. Even if she didn't like this person, she should not lose her etiquette and make people laugh. Especially after Su Xi saw Li Xiang's true face like a shrew, she became even more disgusted with such people and did not want to become the same type of person with them from the bottom of her heart.

So I won't be too close to you.

Su Xi pushed the pastel-colored lotus-patterned plate and said crisply: "Fifth Sister and Sister Ru will eat cherries."

Li Xiangru is four or five years older than Su Xi, and she just thinks she is the little sister, "Thank you, sister Xi."

Su Lingrong didn't appreciate it. She thought the old lady was sitting far away, but didn't pay attention to the situation on their side. She hummed with her nose: "Who wants to eat what you have left."

But although the old lady was old, she was not confused, so she naturally heard this sentence clearly. The old lady put down the teacup in her hand and shouted "Young and Youth" at Nuan Tae.

Su Xi ran to the old lady and shouted obediently: "Grandma."

The old lady touched her bud head and said kindly: "We are still sensible when we are young and sensible, and we know to give good things to our sister." The implication is that Su Lingrong is as her sister, but she is not as sensible as her sister.

Guo's face changed slightly.

The old lady Tian has never looked down on her second wife. She only thought that she was short-sighted and jealous. She managed her second child so hard that she didn't dare to go back to the inner courtyard once every three or five days. Her two children were spoiled by her so that they had no rules. She only said a few words and did not let her stay in front of her for more time. She sent her back with Liao.

As soon as the second roommate left, he met Su Li coming in from outside.

Su Li came to find Su Xi. Su Baiyu's child could not solve the "Kongming chain" that Su Xi gave him, and wanted to ask Su Xi to tell him the answer. Su Li walked to the door, but blocked a girl in front of him. He looked at Li Xiangru, nodded, and then walked around her and walked into the room.

Until Li Xiangru walked away, she still recalled the look that Su Li had just looked at her. Although it was only a moment, Su Li's calm and steady demeanor was deeply engraved in her mind.

*

On the eighth day of the lunar month, it was Mrs. Su’s birthday.

Because Mr. Su had just made a contribution at the beginning of the year, he defeated the invasion of the Northern Di and guarded seven or eight cities in the border. The emperor was very happy and rewarded Su Qingbo with 120 households and countless gold, silver and jewelry. Now, the old general Su is very popular in the court, and there are many people taking this opportunity to show goodwill to the Su family. Therefore, the old lady's birthday was particularly lively, and she invited people from the Ruyi class to come to the mansion in advance to sing the opera for three days and three nights. From morning to night, she was babbling, and Su Xi's ears were called in his ears.

Many people came to the mansion this day, and I heard that Luyang Marquis Mansion was also here.

The Marquis of Luyang, Li Xingyi, lost his wife in his early years, and only had a son and a daughter. His daughter was Li Anyi, who was three years older than Su Xi. His son was Su Xi's husband in his previous life, Li Yan.

Since Su Xi was reborn, she has never seen Li Yan.

Su Xi liked Li Yan in her previous life because Li Yan was tall and handsome, calm and persistent. For Su Xi, who had never had many foreign men and had a heart, she was most likely to be moved by a man like Li Yan. When Yin told her about this marriage, she did not refuse and blushed and agreed. It was only when she married Li Yan that she realized how hasty the decision she made at the beginning. The two had no intersection at all before, and the little love that had just started to fall in love, but later thinking about it, maybe it was just a little bit of good feelings.

After getting married, Su Xi discovered that Li Yan did not really marry her. He had someone else in his heart. That person was Fu Yi, who was both talented and beautiful. There was a portrait of Fu Yi hidden in Li Yan's study. He never let Su Xi set foot in that study. If Su Xi had not been able to bear it and broke in, perhaps she would never know that there was a bright moonlight in her husband's heart, but she was nothing.

Even if Fu Yi later married Wei Yuan, the prince of Prince Yu, Li Yan never let her go, and even refused to touch other women except her.

After two years of marriage, Yin didn’t know how many times he hinted, but Su Xi knew in his heart that if he had not fulfilled his family, how could he have children?

It was also later that Su Xi learned that Li Yan was forced by Luyang Marquis when he married her. Luyang Marquis wanted to use the Su family as a springboard to consolidate the Li family's status. After Su Xi learned the truth, she was determined to divorce Li Yan, but unfortunately she fell ill and died of illness.

Since I knew all the causes and consequences in this life, Su Xi would never be so stupid as to marry Li Yan.

After meeting several wives, Yin asked Su Xi to take several girls of similar age to play in the backyard.

Fu Yi is naturally the core of the crowd. No matter where she goes, there is someone holding her, and she looks quite like a star lying on the moon. The girl beside Fu Yi is Yin Qiuqiu, the eldest daughter of Yin's family. She is the same age as Fu Yi, and is well-educated, both internal and external, and generous. Although her talent is not as famous as Fu Yi, it is also rare among girls of the same age. Those who walk with these two people are either willing to be the green leaves that set off the red flowers or try to move closer to the talented girl.

Su Xi remembered Yin Qiuqiu because three years later, Yin Qiuqiu got engaged with the prince of Qi Wei Lu, and was envious of all noble girls in Shangjing. However, this girl was not lucky enough to live in a poor life. Not long after she got engaged, she fell into the lake in her backyard and drowned.

It's a pitiful person.

Later, Wei Qing decided to make another marriage, as if it was the granddaughter of the Grand Secretary of Wenyuan Pavilion. Unfortunately, the girl died unexpectedly before long. Su Xi thought it must be Wei Qingke's wife, otherwise why did he make two marriages one after another and the other party was dead?

"The crabapple flowers are blooming well over there, let's go there for a walk?" Yu Baotong pointed to a place ahead, interrupting Su Xi's thoughts.

Yu Baotong is the third girl from Duke Rong's Mansion. Two sisters above have got married, and one younger sister below is only three years old, so she has not brought it out today. Yu Baotong is twelve years old this year, older than Su Xi and Tang, so she takes good care of the two on weekdays.

Su Xi put away his random thoughts and said carelessly: "Sister Yu has been very busy these days? Sister Wan and I haven't seen you for days."

Yu Baotong has been locked up at home for a while and has not come out for a long time. "My mother found a female gentleman for me and asked me to learn the Four Women's Books every day. If you hadn't written a letter to invite me today, I'm afraid my mother wouldn't have let me come out."

Tang Wan said sympathetically: "Mrs. Yu is so strict."

"Not that." Yu Baotong was about to say he was about to kiss her, and Mrs. Yu did this for her daughter. However, it was hard for Yu Baotong to say it out loud, so she changed the subject and said, "Hey, have you grown taller? I see it's a little taller than before the New Year." After a pause, she looked at Su Xi seriously, as if she had seen her clearly. "The face is also small, and everyone said that the girl will become slimmer after she gets the tick. This is really true. You are so beautiful that you don't know how beautiful you should be when you grow up in the future."

Su Xi pursed her lips in shame. She disappointed Sister Yu. When she grew up in her previous life, she not only did not become slim, but also became a big fat bun, which had nothing to do with being beautiful.

The three of them sat on the stone bench under the tree and talked, and a maid gave them snacks, including red date yam cake, peach blossom crisps, Ruyi rolls, etc. After a while, Yu Baotong saw that Su Xi had not moved the snacks on the table, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "Don't Youyou like to eat peach blossom crisps very much, why don't you eat them today?"

Su Xi, Tang Wan and Yu Baotong have a good relationship. Even though they became relatives in their previous life, the three of them were like sisters, and did not hide it and told them about their recent dieting exercises.

Yu Baotong’s first thought was: “You are now growing up, so how can you not eat? Don’t starve your body.”

Su Xi pinched her cheeks, stuck out her tongue and said, "Does Sister Yu think I'm the one who will starve me?"

"Ghost girl." Yu Baotong spat, but she felt relieved. She remembered the movements she practiced every day, and said, "I have a female master in my family who taught me to dance when I was young. Her dance not only looks good, but also makes her body shape and make her figure beautiful. Since the young and young people have this idea, how about I introduce her to you?"

Da Yan Dynasty paid great attention to the upbringing of her daughter's family. Although dancing is mostly something that dancers can do, noble girls generally do not dance openly, it is very common to practice dancing in their own homes.

Of course, it would be better. Su Xixi said: "I'll ask my mother first. If she agrees, will I write to Sister Yu?"

Yu Baotong said yes.

Half an hour later, the wind gradually blew outside, and Su Xi and his friends were about to go back to the house. As soon as they turned a gate of the moon cave, they saw two people standing under the corridor.

Fu Yi was wearing a goose-yellow Su embroidered oriole-patterned spring shirt, standing tall and graceful, and looking at her back was quite pleasing to the eye.

The man standing opposite Fu Yi was dressed in a blue straight dress, tall and handsome, and dark-eyed manner. He was Su Xi's husband Li Yan in his previous life.
