3. Flowers in the open air [Minor Repair]

After the little nephew went, the eldest brother felt very guilty for a while. Su Li believed that he had not fulfilled his father's duties and neglected the child, which led to Su Baiyu falling into the ice pool in the cold winter, with a high fever that would not subside, and eventually losing his life.

Su Li and Luo had a good relationship. After Luo left, he was reluctant to reconcile. In addition, Su Li had just been promoted to Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and there were many social engagements in the officialdom, so he could spend even less time with Su Baiyu. This child had no mother since he was a child, so it was not surprising that he developed his current temperament.

Su Li has always felt deeply guilty about the child and wanted to compensate him well in the future, but unexpectedly he didn't even have the chance to make up for it.

It was an accident that Su Baiyu's wet nurse Cui's daughter got married. Cui took a day off to go home. That day, two maids and a nanny watched Su Baiyu. The maid was lazy and thought Su Baiyu was quiet and nothing would happen, so she joined the other three maids below to play the Ye Zi Card. The two maids looked at Su Baiyu. Su Baiyu wanted to go to the backyard to play by the lake, but the maid dared not stop him, so she followed him step by step. One maid had a stomachache and ran back and forth several times, leaving only one maid guarding Su Baiyu. Unexpectedly, at this time, Su Baiyu's feet slipped into the lake.

The little girl couldn't water, so she was so shocked that she looked pale and hurried to call someone nearby.

The water in early spring is the coldest time. When someone rescues Su Baiyu, the little guy's face is already blue.

Later, the fever did not subside. Until the morning of the third day, the small body was lying on the bed and no longer breathed.

Yin punished all the servants of Molinyuan severely, and even Su Baiyu's wet nurse Cui did not let go. As for the two girls and the nanny who played Ye Zi card, they not only dereliction of duty, but also killed the little master, so they naturally couldn't survive.

Su Xi stood in front of the window and tried hard to recall the appearance of the two girls and nanny. Although they had not done anything wrong, they could no longer stay in the Su Mansion.

When Lu came in with a copper bowl, she saw Su Xi in a strange posture and was stunned: "Girl, what are you doing?"

The little girl by the window was straight, standing with one leg, hooked her other leg behind her, raised her arms, folded her hands in front of her chest, and a sweet white porcelain peony pattern bowl was topped by her head. Su Xi turned her head slowly, and the sweet white porcelain bowl on her head moved with her. She stood for too long, her hands, feet and neck were a little sore, but she always gritted her teeth and persevered. Her pretty face was blushed, and a thin layer of sweat dripped out of the tip of her nose. Su Xi stabilized her body and gasped slightly and said, "Digestible food."

Listen to the Hero: "..."

This was taught to Su Xi by Mama Ye, saying that practicing for two quarters of a day can not only shape the demeanor and lengthen the posture. Over time, the noble girl's demeanor will emerge. Su Xi was not tall in her previous life, but she did not grow up after she was twelve years old. She immediately paled in comparison when she stood beside girls of the same age. No wonder Fu Shaoyun always called her "Little Donggua". Fu Shaoyun was tall and had long legs. Compared with him, he was just a wintergua.

Su Xi was not convinced. After standing, she went to the couch to do three sets of movements, which were still taught by Madam Ye. The movement was very simple. Raise one leg and then slowly put it down. The two legs alternated in a cycle, so that they could both lose their waist and legs. Two quarters of an hour later, Su Xi was so tired that she was out of breath and pinched her legs and sat up from the couch. She wanted to lie down and rest, but she was afraid that she would fail. Finally, she reluctantly left the bed, took the handkerchief handed by Lu Lu to wipe the sweat, and then said, "Tomorrow, you go to Molinyuan and say that I miss Brother Bai, and want to take Brother Bai to Hualutianxiang to stay for a while."

The girl from the Su family is delicate. Su Xi lived with her parents after she was eight years old. "Flower Outdoor Flavor" is her own small yard.

Su Xi had already thought about it. Since she didn't know why Su Baiyu fell into the water, she could only take him to her side and pay attention every day to stop him from having an accident. After the Lantern Festival, maybe Su Baiyu wouldn't go early in this life.

Tinglu was puzzled: "But you are not..." Haven't you ever cared about the young master?

Su Xi knew that listening to Lu was confused, but she pretended not to understand. She blinked Shui Lingling's wonderful eyes and said softly: "Hmm?"

He stopped talking. Looking at her girl’s tender and cute cheeks, her cheeks flushed slightly due to exercise, she said, “Yes, I will go tomorrow morning.”

*

The next morning, Su Xi got up and washed up, and ran around Hualutianxiang two big circles. In the past, she could lie down and never sit, and never walk. The standard lazy persimmon has now started running for the first time, which shocked Hualutianxiang's jaws.

Su Xi was wearing a small piping jacket with grape purple crepe. For convenience, she wore a pair of beard clothes and narrow-leg pants. She just stopped and wanted to rest for a while before running, but she met the gaze of Madam Ye under the upper corridor. Su Xi felt relieved and forced herself to run the remaining half circle.

The running was mentioned by Su Xi, but she regretted it before she ran far. If it weren't for the fact that Madam Ye was always supervising, she wouldn't have been able to hold on.

After running, Su Xi went to the clean room to take a shower. After coming out, she changed into a blue shirt with a dark butterfly-embroidered flower, sat behind the round table, and started to eat breakfast.

Su Xi used half a bowl of green porridge, two crystal winter melon dumplings, a piece of poria cake, and wanted to eat another bite of osmanthus candy lotus root, but Madam Ye coughed gently. Su Xi's chopsticks were halfway up, and she looked at the white and glutinous osmanthus root. Maybe she was overexercising in the morning and was a little hungry at this moment. She withdrew her gaze, turned her head to look at Madam Ye, and thought for a while, Haoshang Haoduo's tone: "Madam, can I just take one bite?"

Madam Ye lowered her hands and said selflessly: "If the girl takes this bite, her steps this morning will be in vain."

"..." This sentence came into effect the most. Su Xi was so cruel that she put down her chopsticks.

When Lu came back from outside, she saw Su Xi rinsing her mouth, so she hurried over and held the moon-white glaze teacup and said, "Girl, I have asked me when I went to Molinyuan. The old man heard that you wanted to pick up the young master and lived there. I was worried that you could not take care of him, so I didn't agree."

Although Lu said it very tactfully, Su Xi still heard the implicit meaning. I'm afraid it wasn't that elder brother disagreed, but that little guy Su Baiyu refused to come? The child was very strange. Ordinary children of this age were innocent and lively, but he was like a dull person, not to mention contact with others. Su Xi didn't get along with him much before, so now he naturally refused to come to the flower of the fragrance of the open sky.

Su Xi didn't know that this was a disease. She thought about it and decided to go to Molinyuan in person. Even if Brother Bai had a weird temper, she couldn't wait for something to happen to him.

Su Xi tied a big red Su-embroidered peony pattern cloak and walked out: "Accompany me to Molinyuan to take a look."

Listening to Lu nodded and followed.

Molin Courtyard was built in the outer courtyard. When Su Xi arrived, she happened to catch up with Su Li to walk out. Su Li was wearing a black fur cloak and a jade double-ring jade pendant hanging around her waist. Su Li looked like the eldest master Su Zhen, with her eyebrows and eyes and handsome facial features. She looked slender and upright in this way, like a pine and cypress.

After seeing Su Xi, Su Li stopped and said, "Young and Young."

Su Xi took two steps forward, "Does your brother want to go out?"

Su Li said, "Some social engagements." Su Li remembered what the girl who was fragrant with flowers in the morning, bent her thin lips slightly and looked at Su Xi, "Why do you think of taking Brother Bai to your place?"

When Su Xi came, she thought of the words on the way. Now she saw Su Li going out, and now she was even more confident. "My second brother treats me as a child and gives me a big box of gadgets. I can't use it, so she wants to give it to Brother Bai." When she saw Su Li, she had to raise her head and said that she was not a child, but she could actually be so old? "Besides, today is the first day of the New Year, and Brother Bai is going to go out, so it's so pitiful to be alone at home. It's better to stay there for a few days, so that you can be your companion for me, and Brother Bai doesn't have to worry about you all the time when you are outside."

The second half of the sentence is about the right point. Su Li was already guilty and couldn't feel at ease even if he was out. Brother Bai was only willing to say a few words to him, but the people around him ignored him. Sometimes even Su Li didn't know what his three-year-old son was thinking. Su Li said: "Okay, if you can persuade him, you will let him live with you in the inner courtyard in the next few days."

Su Xi agreed happily, and after watching Su Li leave, she stepped into Molinyuan.

There were not many servants in Molin Courtyard. When the sweeping girl saw Su Xi, she quickly put down her broom and saluted, "Miss Nine."

Su Xi asked, "Where is Brother Bai?"

The maid girl said, "Young Master is in the house."

Su Xi remembered Su Baiyu's room. Although she had never been to Su Bai'er for many years, she was impressed by every tree and every tree in the Su Mansion. Su Xi came to the door of Dongji Room, and there was a woman in silver-red and armored woman standing outside the door, which was Bai Ge'er's wet nurse Cui.

When Cui saw Su Xi, he was slightly surprised, "Miss Nine."

Su Xi said: "Brother Bai is inside?"

Cui said yes, and then he seemed to have something to say, but he stopped talking, and finally said: "Miss Nine, please forgive me for saying too much... Brother Bai has no mother, and the children next to him are a little different. As Brother Bai'er's aunt, if Miss Nine, please take care of him more. This child is pitiful. Although he doesn't say anything, I can see that he wants to be with you more."

Su Xi said, "I'm here to pick him up today." As she said that, she pushed open the Mullion Door in front of her.

The windows inside the house were bright and clean. Su Xi saw Su Baiyu sitting on the couch next to the window at a glance. Su Baiyu heard the sound and turned to look at the door. She stared at Su Xi with black eyes for a while, then calmly lowered her head and continued to fiddle with the things in her hand.

Su Xi walked up to him and saw clearly that he was playing with a twenty-four Luban lock.

Su Xi was not in a hurry to call him, sat opposite him, held his cheeks and watched him disassemble and assemble the Luban lock. I don’t know who gave it to him. Will the three-year-old child play with this thing? Su Xi thought he was just playing with it casually, but unexpectedly, in just a quarter of an hour, the little guy successfully disassembled and assembled the twenty-four locks!

You know, Su Xi learned to fight for the twenty-four locks at the age of eight!

Su Xi asked him: "Who taught you this?"

Su Baiyu lowered her eyes and ignored her.

Su Xi said again: "What else do you know? Do you know the plum blossom lock? Where are the eighteen Arhats?" Su Xi's face was surprised and happy, and her almond eyes were wide open, which was a little incredible. Perhaps she remembered something, so she simply sat next to Su Baiyu, looked at him with a smile, and said: "Do you know Huarong Dao? How many solutions do I know? I know thirty-six, let's compete with each other?"

Su Baiyu looked up and finally looked at her. His beautiful little face was slightly tense, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Not long after, he lowered his head again, and his fleshy little hands pinched the Luban lock without saying a word.

Su Xi didn't care and looked up at the room. There were not many things in the room, most of which were children's things. There was an eagle kite on the elm-wood red paint wardrobe opposite. It was probably a long time before the kite was filled with a layer of gray.

Su Xi lowered her eyes and looked at Su Baiyu's head. Suddenly she wanted to touch his head. She said, "I want to fly kites in the backyard tomorrow. Are you going with me? I just had a snowfall yesterday. We can still roast sparrows. The sparrows roasted by cranes are the best. You will never forget them once." As she said, she said that she was greedy. Su Xi licked the corner of her mouth, savored it, and asked, "Can you catch sparrows? Why don't I teach you to catch sparrows first?"

Su Baiyu pursed her pink lips, and her long eyelashes were like a spreading fan. He didn't move for a long time before he spoke slowly: "...noisy."

*

There was a snowfall at night, and the next day the snow stopped, and the yard was covered with a thick layer of white.

Su Xi went to Yin and the other party first, and told him about his trip to Molin Courtyard yesterday. He also said that the servants of Molin Courtyard were not dedicated to their hearts, and only Madam Cui could be seen in the courtyard, and no one else knew where they went.

Yin nodded with approval: "There is no mistress in the courtyard, and the servants are easy to loosen. It is time to knock. After a while, I told Manager Wang that all the servants in Molin Courtyard were replaced, and the person was selected again. Then I asked Madam Lu to adjust the training and teaching." Madam Lu was a very handsome nanny beside Yin.

Su Xi fulfilled her thoughts. After returning, she ran under the supervision of Madam Ye, she performed the sculpting movement for half an hour. After washing, she came out of the clean room. While rubbing her hair, she said, "Girl, I heard that the people from Duke Qingguo's mansion are here today. Mr. Fu and Miss Fu are also here. The Grandma and the Grandma are accompanying guests in the front hall."

Su Xi's hands were easily frozen and was applying begonia honey cream on her hand. After hearing this, she paused and turned her head to look at Tingyan: "Is your cousin Shaoyun also here?"

Tingyan nodded, "The uncle is accompanying Mr. Fu to visit the garden."

Su Xi slowly said "oh" and said she knew. After her hair was dry, she asked Tingyan to comb her double-snail bun and prepare to go to the next room to see Su Baiyu.

Although Su Baiyu said that she was noisy yesterday, she finally obediently came with her Hualutian Xiang.

As soon as Su Xi went out, she saw Su Baiyu standing in the corridor wearing a royal blue jacket, with her head slightly lowered. Seeing Su Xi come out, he raised his little face and looked at Tingyan and Tinghe behind Su Xi. After a while, he spoke out and reminded: "Catch the sparrow."

Su Xi didn't expect to go to the front hall, so she asked Tingyan to prepare tools to catch sparrows. Soon, Tingyan brought a bowl of millet, used a wooden stick to build a basket, tied one end of the red rope to the wooden stick, and put the other end into Su Baiyu's hand.

Tingyan sprinkled a handful of millet under the basket, and Tinghe returned to the house to move two small pieces. Su Xi and Su Baiyu sat side by side in the corridor. After waiting for a long time, a sparrow flew over with its wings and landed under the basket full of millet.

Su Xi's eyes lit up and she reminded: "Brother Bai."

Su Baiyu held the rope tightly and was about to seize the opportunity to pull the rope. Suddenly, a pair of ink-colored gold-patterned soap boots stepped on the snow, and a clear and pleasant voice sounded: "Young and Young."

Su Xi looked up in the voice.

Fu Shaoyun stood a few steps away, wearing a white embroidered honeysuckle cloak with teeth, a long body standing with a clear and beautiful bones, and a pair of peach blossom eyes looking at her with a smile.
