Liuli Fengran stayed until Buddha dawned and then flew away. Under the faint skylight, he looked like a nimble eagle, his crimson robe swaying in the wind, like burning fire, like blood staining the sky. Looking at Jiang Suxi, for a moment
Confusion, momentary dementia.
Then, Suqin came in quietly with a basin and found Jiang Suxi standing by the window. She was startled and hurriedly put down the basin and said, "Miss, why are you so up today?"
Morning?" He saw the tired look on Jiang Su's face, and glanced at the dishes and chopsticks in the room, and frowned: "Miss, last night you..."
"Suqin, I'm fine." Jiang Suxi turned around and gave Suqin a gentle smile: "I'll wash up first."
"Miss, this water is very hot! Let it sit for a while before washing." Suqin's eyes were confused, but she said nothing and just stopped Jiang Suxi from using the water.
Jiang Suxi soon understood. On weekdays, when she would wake up later, Suqin would have brought boiling water over, so that when she woke up and used it, the water would be at just the right temperature.
But she only discovered Suqin's thoughtful little detail now. Her heart warmed slightly and she said softly: "It doesn't matter, I'll just use it more slowly."
Just after breakfast, Uncle Fu came over and invited Jiang Suxi to the main courtyard.
Jiang Haochen was sitting on the main seat, and the chair at the mahogany table that was separated from him was empty. Jiang Suxi glanced at the empty chair, tilted his head slightly, and met Jiang Haochen's eyes as he looked over.
The feeling rose from the bottom of my heart and the sarcasm appeared on my face.
Jiang Haochen, he had betrayed Li Mengyun all his life, but stubbornly left a chair vacant for twenty-one years. Perhaps too many people would think that this was his deep affection for the late wife, but in Jiang Suxi's view,
This man is just seeking his own inner peace.
People are dead, their body is dead and their flesh is gone, but what can they do to get this hypocritical feeling?
After scanning the hall, Jiang Suxi was a little confused, what day is it today? All the masters of the Zuo Xiangfu are here.
The second wife Xue Qin, the third wife Liu Siyu, the fourth wife Zhao Shumei, the second son Jiang Bowen born to the third wife, the fifth daughter Jiang Yuee, the third son Jiang Bowu born to the fourth wife, the fourth daughter Jiang Xiruo born to the late sixth wife, and the deceased
The second young lady Jiang Cuiming, the second young lady Jiang Cuiming, the third young lady Jiang Caidi who became the emperor's concubine, and the second young master's bride Sun Xiaoqing.
These people were sitting upright in their seats. When they saw Jiang Suxi come in, they all focused their eyes on her, and the quiet hall immediately became lively.
The second lady, Xue Qin, was the first to stand up and greet her: "Oh, the eldest lady is here," she was already forty-one, but she took good care of herself. A big smile bloomed on her face, and she stretched out her arms.
He took Jiang Suxi's hand and said, "I heard that the eldest lady was injured due to someone's plot a few months ago, but now she is fully recovered? Look, she has lost a lot of weight. Is she not eating well?
"
"Miss, I'm very good." Jiang Suxi broke free from Xue Qin's enthusiasm and said calmly.
As the saying goes: "Don't hit someone with a smiling face." This time Xue Qin came to try to get close to her. Although she wasn't happy, she didn't show her face.
Jiang Suxi also knew that although Xue Qin had not been kind to her over the years, he did not plot against her like the third lady Liu Siyu and the fourth lady Zhao Shumei.
Xue Qin used to be a dancer. She couldn't have children, but she had a bright temperament.
"What do you mean by my sister? Everyone knows that my sister and I are responsible for the food in the Prime Minister's Mansion now. Is my sister saying that my sister is not considerate?"
As soon as Jiang Suxi finished speaking, Liu Siyu's voice came up muffled.
"Tsk tsk, I misunderstood, and my sister misunderstood again," Xue Qin immediately turned around and said to Liu Siyu with a smile: "Sister just saw that the eldest lady has become thinner, why did she say anything about my sister?"
"Right or wrong? What do you mean?" Liu Siyu refused to give in, picking at the thorn in Xue Qin's words and yelling: "You actually used this word and said I misunderstood? Didn't I just give instructions to the kitchen yesterday?
Have you stopped serving bird's nest porridge? You just smashed the dinner that was delivered to you, and... you don't even look at what day it is!"
However, with a polite word of concern for Jiang Suxi, Liu Siyu suddenly said that Xue Qin was dissatisfied with her and deliberately causing trouble. Not only was it justified, she also squeezed out two tears and took out a handkerchief to wipe them.
"Sister, what you said is too much. Yesterday, I accidentally fell down and pulled the cloth on the table, so I dropped my dinner. How come you did it on purpose? Sister
Could it be that I didn't do something well and was afraid of being punished by the master, so I wanted to drag me into trouble?" Xue Qin didn't want Liu Siyu to smear her, so she immediately retorted.
"Second sister, third sister, what are you doing? We are all sisters, why are you so embarrassed and embarrassed arguing over trivial matters?" Fourth lady Zhao Shumei stood up and persuaded: "Isn't it just a bowl of bird's nest porridge?"
These words seemed to be persuading, but in fact they added fuel to the fire. Zhao Shumei said it lightly, it was just a bowl of bird's nest porridge, a small matter, but Xue Qin deliberately lost her temper over a bowl of bird's nest porridge and threw down her dinner.
And she, Liu Siyu, got into trouble over this little thing.
The quarrel between the women immediately escalated.
Jiang Suchi raised his eyes again and looked at Jiang Haochen.
You see, Jiang Haochen, these are the women you brought home, all of them fearing that the world will not be in chaos!
Do you think they married you because of you? No! What they only want is your wealth!
Jiang Suxi turned her attention to Jiang Caidi, who was sitting in the first place on the right. In this noisy environment, she drank the fragrant tea from the cup without changing her expression.
Jiang Suxi can be sure that in the entire Zuo Xiang Mansion, apart from Prime Minister Jiang Haochen and Butler Fu Bo, the third lady Jiang Caidi is the most scheming.
Jiang Caidi's mother was the fifth lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion. She died in childbirth due to dystocia. She had no one to protect her since she was a child, but she learned chess, calligraphy, painting, poetry and poetry. After she was born, she also
At the lantern festival, she happened to meet the current emperor, who was still the eldest prince, and successfully married him. Step by step, she climbed to the position of concubine Shu, one of the four concubines.
As the emperor's woman, she should sit on the throne, but she does it as his daughter. She is really good at being a good person.
Jiang Suxi no longer paid attention to the quarreling ladies. Shi Shiran stepped forward and gave a standard womanly salute to Jiang Caidie: "Jiang Suxi has met Concubine Shu."
There was a trace of surprise in Jiang Caidi's eyes, which flashed away. She stood up with a smile: "Miss, please get up quickly, what are you doing?"
Jiang Suxi lowered his eyes, hid the sneer in his eyes, and said coolly: "Concubine Xie Shu." He turned around and bowed to Jiang Haochen again: "My daughter has met your father."
Jiang Suxi could alienate Jiang Haochen, ridicule him, or lose his temper with him, but he had to stop it in moderation. Jiang Suxi controlled this very well.
"Xi'er..." Jiang Haochen's eyes were obviously filled with tears. He waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay! Xi'er, there is no need to be polite, please sit down quickly."
Jiang Suxi's politeness stopped the wives' quarrel, and Jiang Suxi also knew the reason why this big family got together - today is Jiang Haochen's birthday.
Ever since, in order to compete for birthday gifts, the ladies, young masters, and young ladies were fighting overtly and covertly again. They fought "vividly", and Jiang Suxi also watched it with "relish". Anyway, as long as she was not involved in the affairs of Zuo Xiangfu, she would not be involved.
She was just a spectator.
This is an emotional life drama. No matter how modern it is, no director would be able to film this house fight so wonderfully.
"Xi'er, what gift have you prepared for your father?"
Jiang Suxi was enjoying everyone's performance lukewarmly when Jiang Haochen suddenly made a voice and put a pair of sneaky fox eyes on her, with a little expectation in his eyes.
"Yes, Miss, what is the birthday gift you gave to your father? Take it out and take a look?" Jiang Yue'e immediately took over the words, her words were half sarcastic and half hateful: "Don't forget it, right?"
Jiang Yue'e put on a lot of powder today, but she still couldn't hide the fatigue between her brows. She thought it was caused by insomnia for many days after receiving Jiang Suxi's three pots of specially formulated "canna".
Jiang Suxi just glanced at Jiang Yuee, then met Jiang Haochen's eyes: "Father, I'm sorry, my daughter really doesn't know how to write the word 'birthday'."
Jiang Haochen's eyes dimmed instantly. He thought that Jiang Suxi was still blaming him, but she should blame her. She was twenty-one this year, and he had never celebrated her birthday in the past twenty-one years.
Jiang Haochen was about to say, "It doesn't matter if you forget," when he heard Jiang Suxi say softly, "I wonder if my father will blame me if I prepare a copy now?"
Jiang Haochen felt happy and quickly raised his eyes and said, "No wonder, no wonder."
Jiang Caidi, who had been silent all this time, seemed to have discovered something interesting at this time, and said with a smile: "The eldest lady is becoming more and more outspoken. I wonder what surprises there are?"
Surprise? Jiang Suxi narrowed his eyes, fearing that it would turn into a shock!
"Father!" Jiang Suxi stood up, walked to Jiang Haochen, knelt on the ground with a plop, and before anyone could react, he said clearly: "My daughter is unfilial. Over the years, my daughter has become
Seeing that her father was exhausted physically and mentally from working in the court, but he still had to come back to work for the livelihood of Zuo Xiangfu, but had to share some of the worries for his father. The daughter felt really ashamed, so... the daughter decided to take charge of the book for her father.
, so that father can plant flowers and raise fish easily."
Jiang Suxi raised his head and looked at Jiang Haochen with burning eyes, his shining eyes were extremely firm: "Father, tell me, how good is this birthday gift for my daughter?"
One word shocked everyone!
What? Boss! Jiang Haochen's body stiffened instantly. Looking at Jiang Suxi who was smiling completely harmlessly in front of him, his heart seemed to be falling rapidly from the clouds, and he was completely unable to control himself.
This child, what does she want to do? How could she make such a ridiculous request? She is a girl, and she actually asks for the financial power of the Left Prime Minister's Office?
Or is it today, on his birthday, that he raises it in front of all the masters in the house?
And he used such an irrefutable reason!
"Miss, what you said is a joke!" A gentle and gentle voice sounded behind Jiang Suxi, but there was clearly some trembling in the gentleness.
