The second master mentioned by Tinghe is Su Xi’s second brother Su Zhi.

Su Zhi followed the old man Su Qingbo to the border in autumn and has not returned yet. The old man had just handed the message home, saying that he would try his best to come back before the Lantern Festival. Su Xi thought that his second brother would not give him gifts again, but he didn't expect that his second brother would still think of her.

Su Xi asked someone to bring the things in, but he was stunned when he saw them-

The two big camphor boxes were half as tall as Su Xi. When they opened it, they saw that the one on the left was a gadget with a border characteristic, and the one on the right was full of cloth fabrics. Su Xi took out a peacock blue rose-embedded red roller and looked at it. The colors were bright and the patterns were colorful, which were the best among the fabrics. When they looked at the box again, they were mostly of this kind of fabric. It was probably not easy to find so many of them.

Her second brother knew that she loved beautiful clothes, and even though she was far away, she never forgot her.

Su Xi suddenly lost her spirit. She remembered that she also liked gorgeous and exquisite clothes in her previous life, but she was wide and fat and dressed a little brighter. The two cousins ​​in the second room mocked her as a "round jade ball."

Su Xi was very injured. After that, she tried to avoid bright colors when wearing clothes and only chose simple and simple ones.

But I still yearn for those beautiful clothes that she has put on the shelf.

If she loses weight in this life, will she be able to wear it?

"Girl?" Hearing that Su Xi was distracted, Lu couldn't help calling.

Su Xi blinked her eyes lightly and suddenly came back to her senses.

Tinglu asked, "Where do you think these things are good?"

Su Xi thought for a while: "Put it in the side room and put it with the gifts from Sister Tang and Sister Yu."

He heard that the er was responding and asked someone to carry two boxes into the side room.

Here, Tingli brought the clothes he wore at the family banquet and asked Su Xi: "Miss, have you seen through this outfit?"

Su Xi looked at her, a peony-shaped phoenix-shaped jacket with peony pattern, a pleated pomegranate skirt underneath, and a pair of snow-green satin embroidered shoes on her feet. In the past, Su Xi liked this outfit very much, but now she is not a real ten-year-old girl, and has unique insights into the color. Looking at this outfit, peach and bright red are really too festive even during the New Year.

Su Xi said: "Don't I have a light-colored moon dress? Take that dress and I'll wear that one."

Tingli was a little surprised. The moon skirt was sewn by Yin's people in Xiuchunju before the New Year. There were ten skirts, with simple and elegant colors, light-spoken and extremely exquisite. The clothes of Xiuchunju are hard to find. Only ten ready-made clothes are made in a year, and they are closed at other times, and the shelves are fully equipped. Even so, many people still flock to them every year just to find a piece of clothes from their house. This moon skirt was sewn by the boss of Xiuchunju for Yin's sake. However, Su Xi did not like such a simple color at that time, so he kept it deep in the closet.

Now that Su Xi proposed to wear that skirt, Tingli was naturally surprised. "Don't the girl think it's too simple?"

Su Xi tilted her head and asked seriously: "Have I said it?"

"..." Tingli was trapped by her and thought about it, and it seemed that she had never said it.

Tingli picked out the moon skirt from the closet, and recombed Su Xi's double-screw bun. The bun was wrapped with thin gold chains of silk pearls. The chain was a bit long, and the remaining part was hanging on both sides, with two furry goose fur balls at the bottom. This dressed up Su Xi's cute round face, which was even more innocent.

Tingli looked at Su Xi's outfit and lit up his eyes and praised: "The girl is so good to choose this skirt, it looks much better than the one she used to match."

Su Xi stood in front of the mirror and looked at it. She was quite satisfied and said, "Let's go, let's go to the room to visit our ancestors."

The old lady Tan lives in Chunhui Hall.

When Su Xi arrived at Chunhui Hall, the second and third bedrooms had already arrived. Second aunt Guo and third aunt Yu sat under the old lady. The two cousins ​​Su Lingrong and Su Lingyun stood aside. When they saw Su Xi coming in, they looked at each other.

Su Lingrong was born by Guo, and this year was thirteenth; Su Lingyun was born by Zhang, the concubine of the second master, and this year was twelve. The two ranked fifth and sixth respectively.

The third room has no daughter.

Since that's the case, why is Su Xi ranked ninth?

This starts from the past. In the early years, there was only one family in the Su Mansion. The old man Su Qingbo had a younger brother named Su Qinghe. After Su Qinghe was promoted to the first-rank governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, he separated from Su Qingbo and built a mansion in Yangliu Hutong opposite the General's Mansion. Although the two brothers separated, their relationship was still very good, and the two families had close contacts. The number of grandchildren in the General's Mansion and the Governor's Mansion was large, so they were sorted according to their own orders, and the granddaughter was the girls of the two families. There were only three girls in the General's Mansion. The reason why Su Xi ranked ninth was because there were six girls in the Governor's Mansion!

The girls in the Su family are named after Ling Congcao, but Su Xi is special, and they are named according to the male generation of the Su family.

Because when Yin was pregnant, the old man led his troops to fight, and finally returned victoriously. As soon as he got home, Su Xi couldn't wait to get out of Yin's belly. The old man said that Su Xi was his little lucky star, and because Su Xi was the youngest, he couldn't help but love him more. So when he named him, he followed his brothers to the word "Xi".

Su Xi walked up to the old lady and shouted crisp and sweetly: "Grandma."

The old lady pulled her to sit on the cushion, looked at her, and said with a distressed feeling: "Why did you feel like you lost weight after a few days? But the servants are not serving you very carefully, so are you slow to treat you?"

It was not as exaggerated as the old lady said, but in just a few days, how could she lose weight so quickly? But now Su Xi likes to hear such words the most. She held her face and her watery eyes were bright, and she looked at the old lady in surprise, "Have you really lost weight? Grandma, look at me again, where did she lose weight?"

The old lady was laughed at by her appearance, but she still kept saying: "What's the best thing to lose weight? In my opinion, it's better to be fat. Every little girl's family is blessed only with meat. I'll see you like this now."

Su Xi pouted, thinking that's because you all like her, so she's good at everything. She just listened to these words in her previous life, so she finally indulged herself in such a fat state. She might not believe it any more in this life. Su Xi held the old lady's arm, and while doing a perverted look, she went in to the old lady's words with her left ear and her right ear.

The old lady said another thing: "I heard that Yin has found you a tutor nanny?"

Su Xi nodded. This matter was mentioned first by Su Xi. If she didn't want to be trampled by Fu Yi in her life, it wouldn't be enough to just eat, but she would have to create a manners. Su Xi only mentioned it to Yin, and within a few days Yin found the old man named Madam Ye in the palace. Madam Ye was not only of a high-quality personality, but also a strict person. Su Xi was lazy and was just right to be like this, so she didn't even have the chance to be lazy.

"Madam Ye trains me for half an hour every morning and evening, and teaches me many ways to shape my body." Su Xi said.

The old lady said "Oh" and said in confusion: "At the same time, half an hour? I remember you, the lazy girl, can you do it?"

"Grandmother." Su Xi interrupted the old lady, burped into the old lady's arms, and rubbed it, "I'm not lazy."

When Su Xi was three years old, she followed Master Su back to her hometown in Jiangnan and stayed in Jiangnan for a whole year. After returning to Beijing, she learned to speak in Jiangnan, Wu dialed softly and soft. Especially when Su Xi wanted to act coquettishly, she dragged her soft and soft tone, and the voice seemed to be soaked in honey, which made the old lady feel soft. Even Su Lingrong and Su Lingyun were both women, and at this time they had to admit that the voice was really nice.

Su Lingrong looked at Su Xi coldly and saw that she was wearing something different today than usual. The pink phoenix wore a peony jacket and a moon-white moon skirt. When Su Xi came in, the skirt swung slightly and the skirt swayed lightly, as if the flowing moonlight. Such a simple color, paired with the pink jacket, was one gorgeous and one plain, and it looked unexpectedly beautiful.

Su Lingrong naturally recognized that it was Xiu Chunju’s skirt. Only one style of Xiu Chunju’s clothes was made of, and there was no duplicate, so even if you wanted to buy them outside, you couldn’t buy them.

Su Lingrong's father Su Yang was a concubine's son. After Aunt He passed away, the old lady raised him. Although Su Yang was raised by the old lady since childhood, he was separated by a layer of time. He was not as good as the eldest master, and the third master and the old lady were close to him. Therefore, the old lady was more concerned about Su Xi and sometimes ignored her two other granddaughters.

Su Lingrong couldn't help feeling sad when she thought of her idle and frivolous father, and when she thought of the handsome and handsome master who picked up Su Xi and laughed. She looked away and thought to herself, what if she was favored, she was not a fat bun.

The old lady took off the turquoise jade bracelet on her hand and put it on Su Xi's wrist, "Today is our youngest birthday. Grandma has nothing good here, so I will give you this pair of bracelets." This is definitely a self-worth. Who doesn't know that the old lady has many treasures here, and the things she rewarded today can fill a house.

This pair of bracelets has a great background. It is said that they were left by Taizu during his reign. There were only two pairs of them, one of which was given to the former Empress Shujing and the other pair to General Su.

These old ladies have been wearing them on their hands, but now they have given them to Su Xi, which is somewhat surprising.

The second wife, Guo, said sourly: "Mother is so good to treat Sister Xi." Even Sister Rong doesn't have such bracelets.

The old lady looked at her short-sighted second wife and said, "I will prepare the birthdays of Sister Rong and Sister Yun."

The third lady was a flexible person. Seeing that the old lady changed her face, she opened the topic and said, "This pair of bracelets is so beautiful. It is said that jade nourishes people, but in fact humans can also raise jade. Look, this pair of jade bracelets are raised by their mothers and look so beautiful. You can't thank our ancestors quickly."

Su Xi said: "Thank you for your ancestors."

Then the second and third wife also gave Su Xi something, one was a lion rolling ball with golden long life lock, and the other was a gold-embedded white jade earring. After Su Xi thanked the two, the group got up and went to the front hall. The family banquet was held lively. In addition to the old man and the second master Su Zhi, the whole family was there, and Su Xi's eldest brother Su Li and several cousins ​​were also there.

Su Li is now the Shaoqing of the Honglu Temple. He is just as young as the youngest. He married Luo, the daughter of the Minister of Rites four years ago. Unfortunately, Luo's fate was poor and encountered heavy bleeding during childbirth. Before the doctor came, he could not hold on. He only left Su Li with a son Su Baiyu, who just turned three this year.

At this time, Su Baiyu was sitting next to Su Li, the little man was dressed neatly and ate in silence.

Su Baiyu is surrounded by his sixth cousin Su Yu. No matter how Su Yu teases him, he never speaks.

This child has always been introverted and weird, and others have long been used to it, so they didn't take it seriously when they saw this.

Su Xi seemed to remember something, and his movements were slightly paused, and he slowly looked at Su Baiyu.
