1. New Year's Eve
Su Xi was born on the snowy night on New Year's Eve. Today is her birthday.
There was a custom in the Dayan Dynasty that children would fall to one year old when they landed, and they would grow one year older during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, although Su Xi was twelve years old, she was just a 10-year-old girl.
Su Xi sent away several close friends who came to celebrate her birthday and came back from the backyard. It was still snowing. The snowflakes were covered with a thick layer of snow, and suede boots were whispered on their heads. Su Xi walked into the house, dusted off the snow foam on her shoulders, took off the cherry-colored golden gourd pattern cloak and handed it to the Tingyan beside her, and walked towards the warm pavilion.
Tingyan put her cloak into the carved mattress, Tinghe put a small hand stove in Su Xi's hand, and said, "It's so cold today. The girl has been outside for so long, so she must have been frozen long ago."
Su Xi leaned on the big welcome pillow, relaxing her body, and looking lazy.
Su Xi held the small hand stove and waited for her hands to warm up before saying, "Sister Tang and Sister Yu came to celebrate my birthday specially, how could I not accompany me? Even if it was colder, I would be happy."
I heard the crane see the curved lips of her girl, her delicate and beautiful face was steamed by the ground dragon in the house, white and pink, and it looks even more delicate and cute. It is like the plum blossom branches bent by the white snow in the yard, the plum blossoms bloom from the snow, and the petals are fresh and tender, which is the most colorful color in winter.
Even Tinghe followed Su Xisan for four years, and he couldn't help but be stunned. After a while, Tinghe came to his senses and said, "I stewed silverfish soup and was simmering on the kitchen stove. Do you want to eat something? You're useless just now. It's still early to the evening family banquet. Why don't you bring it to you a bowl?"
Su Xi had four big maids around him, listening to geese, crane, hem, and oriole.
Listen to the geese and the sen crane are older, this year's thirteen, Listen to the sen and the sen oriole are twelve.
These girls have their own advantages. Tingyan is good at fist and kicking. At the age of six, she has learned martial arts with the great manager around General Su. Now she has achieved success. It is no problem to deal with one or two adult men. General Su specially transferred her to Su Xi to protect Su Xi's safety. Tinghe has a good cooking skills. Su Xi is picky and only used to the dishes she cooks. The remaining two girls are left. Tinglu is a little familiar with medical skills, and Tingli's embroidery work is very good.
These four people have been serving Su Xi for many years, doing their best in everything and adhering to their duties. Even Su Xi's mother Yin, who is as picky as Su Xi's mother, praised these four girls.
At this time, when Su Xi heard these words, she paused when she fiddled with the hand stove. After a long time, she let go of the Buddha and made up her mind. She refused to say, "Don't eat."
After listening to the He, he naturally advised: "Miss, please use it a little, so as not to get hungry, and it is yourself who suffers..."
Su Xi couldn't hear these words, fearing that she could not resist the temptation. She placed her hand stove on the three-curved scented table of Rosewood Cake Flower, covered her ears, and begged with watery eyes: "Listen to Sister He, I have a sense of my own. Besides, didn't I say it? Apart from three meals a day, don't send food to my house at the next time." She had poor self-control, and it was not easy to be able to resist eating.
Tinghe said, "But you didn't eat anything for lunch." There was only a piece of rose cold cake and half a bowl of whirlwind fungus eggs and milk soup. It was not a sparrow, so where could you eat enough?
Su Xi said: "Enough."
She was worried that Tinghe would soon be able to break the task if Tinghe advised her. Su Xi pushed Tinghe's waist and drove Tinghe out, "You go out, I have something else to do. If I don't call you, don't come in."

Su Xi is the youngest girl in the Su family and ranked ninth.
Old Master Su followed Taizu to conquer the country in the early years and made great contributions. After Taizu ascended the throne, the old Master Su Qingbo was named the first-rank General Xuanwei. Old Master Su has a great reputation among military generals. Even after he took power, he respected Old Master Su very much.
Old Master Su has three sons, the eldest son Su Zhen, the second son Su Yang, and the youngest son Su Tuo. Both the eldest son and the youngest son were born by the old lady Tan, and the second son was born by the concubine He. Su Xi's father was Su Zhen, the eldest son of the Su family. He is 39 years old this year and is about to be in his forties. Now he serves as the Minister of War in the court. Su Xi also has two brothers, one is Su Li and the other is Su Zhi, both of whom are martial artists.
Originally, the Su family was full of martial arts, and even if the daughter raised was not big or thick, she was very likely to be careless and careless. But Su Xi was not.
Su Xi did not follow Master Su, but followed her mother Yin, who gave birth to her beautiful woman, with her red lips and white teeth. At only ten years old, she could already see her beautiful appearance in the future. In addition, her mother Yin was the daughter of Yin Zhouxing, the chief minister of the cabinet. She was one of the most famous talented women in Beijing back then. Yin was not only beautiful, but also paid attention to appearance and form, so she naturally couldn't stand her daughter's sword-dance like a man.
Therefore, as soon as Su Xi was born, Yin personally brought her by her side to raise her, raising her with her clothes and food, and nurturing her, for fear that she would learn to be a man of Lu on her husband or son, so that she developed Su Xi's current temperament.
He heard He remembered Su Xi's face when he smiled and sighed in his heart. With such a look, his temperament was soft, no wonder the master and the eldest lady looked at him like his eyes. Even the two unappropriate uncles and the second master were very fond of this sister and loved him so much.
Listening to the He exited the warm pavilion and walked towards the kitchenette. He said to the little girl Cuizhu who was watching the fire inside: "The silverfish soup continues to be warm. After the evening, if the girl still doesn't eat it, then pour it down."
When Cuizhu saw Tinghe coming, she stood up and said, "Don't worry, sister He, leave it to me."
Listening to He nodded, he went into the house and asked Su Xi twice. Su Xi shook his head and said he would not eat it.
Tinghe looked at Su Xi's slightly fat face and felt a little confused. Tinghe thought that the little girl should be round and beautiful, and that was a symbol of blessing. Somehow, the girl in her family had some problems. Since she woke up a while ago, she had been sluggish and restrained her diet every day. She even seldom ate her favorite eight-treasure sugar cheese.
The round apple face in the past has now lost weight, revealing the pointed chin of Qiaoqiao. Although it is still beautiful, He feels sorry for Su Xi, so he doesn't agree with this behavior.
Little did she know that Su Xi was a person who had experienced the past. In her previous life, she just didn't control her mouth. She was both greedy and lazy. The girl's family was a little round and could be called cute when she was a child. If she was still round when she grew up, it would be really not good-looking.
Su Xi remembered the ridicule she had received and silently pursed her lips. This time she never wanted to be pointed at her nose again and said, "You have wasted this face in vain."

When Yin came over, Tinghe and Tingyan were driven out by Su Xi and stood in the corridor.
Listen to the crane, listen to the geese bowing and say, "Madam."
Yin looked at the inner room, and the bead curtain of the necklace was closed, unable to see the scene inside. Yin asked, "Why aren't you serving inside? What are you doing here?"
Listening to the heir with his head down, he looked helpless and said, "Miss, don't let me serve you in it." As he said that, he mentioned that Su Xi refused to have a meal at noon this day.
Yin's eyebrows flicked slightly and asked, "Miss, don't you persuade me?"
Tinghe said, "I advised you, the girl won't listen to us."
Yin didn't say anything else and walked into the room.
Yin pushed open the curtain of the necklace and called out: "Young and Young."
At the same time, Su Xi was sitting in front of the makeup mirror, looking at the little girl in the mirror. Her round face and chubby cheeks, Su Xi sighed a long time, stood up, looked left and right in the mirror, lowered her head and pinched the flesh on her stomach, and frowned in distress. She was still young now, and a little bit of flesh on her body was nothing, but she knew in her heart that if she didn't control it, she would become a fat man in another two or three years!
In fact, it’s nothing to be fat, just like in her previous life, she just needs to live happily.
But Su Xi was stimulated, and that person was Fu Yi, the eldest daughter of Duke Qing's Mansion who had been competing with her.
Fu Yi is a noble girl with both talent and talent in the eyes of the world, and is also the object of admiration for countless talented men in the capital.
In his previous life, Su Xi married Li Yan, the eldest son of the Luyang Marquis Mansion. This marriage was still the one that Luyang Marquis Mansion was arguing. However, Li Yan only had Fu Yi in his heart. Even after two years of marriage, he had never met Su Xi. Su Xi was spoiled by his family and was spoiled in his bones. How could he bear such grievances?
Forget it, Fu Yi picked the most painful place she wasted. The sentence "I wasted this face" just now came from Fu Yi. If it were other things, Su Xi thought she would not lose too badly, but only weight, Su Xi could not argue.
"Young?" Yin's name was also called.
Su Xi came back to her senses. After seeing Yin, she put down her hand that was pinching her belly embarrassedly. Seeing that Yin had no other reaction, she called out "Mom".
Su Xi was the only daughter of the big house and the youngest girl in the Su family. When she was born, Yin gave her a nickname "Youyou".
Yin walked to the Arhat collapse and sat down, and asked, "I heard from the maid that you are unwilling to eat?"
Su Xi thought it was not good. Whenever Yin looked at her with such a cool look, it was a symbol of unhealthy mood. Su Xi quickly sat next to Yin and looked at Yin with a smile: "Don't listen to them nonsense. Today is my birthday, so how can I not eat?"
Yin looked "Stop fooling me" and poked Su Xi's forehead with his finger: "You also know that this is not worry-free. If you are hungry, who wants to have a better life?"
Su Xi moved back, covered her forehead, and pouted, "Where is the place I'm so hungry, it's because I used to eat too much, but now you'll be fussy if you eat less..."
Yin asked slowly, "Do you still dare to talk stubborn?"
Su Xi hurriedly shut up her mouth and shook her head like a rattle: "Daughter, don't dare."
Yin originally wanted to ask Tinghe to go to the kitchen to make some food, but after looking at the weather outside, it was almost the hour of You, and it was only half an hour before the family dinner, so he did not force Su Xi to eat. She said, "The old lady was talking to you yesterday, saying that you didn't go to see her for several days, and she missed you. After the family dinner began, you talked more with the old lady."
Who doesn’t know that the old lady of Su’s family, Tan, likes this granddaughter the most.
Su Xi nodded obediently.
Yin sat for a while and was called away by the person who went to the room. It was New Year's Eve, and Yin was a clan wife, so she had to interfere in many things, so she was so busy that she couldn't touch the ground. Even if she came to see Su Xi, she finally got out of time.
Shortly after Yin left, Su Xi cleaned up a little and was about to go to the front hall.
