Last year, the fourth girl Su Lingyin got engaged with Qin Xiu, the eldest son of the Duke of Zheng Guo’s mansion. The marriage schedule is scheduled to be at the end of this year. Now Su Lingyin is in the boudoir. Only the fifth girl Su Lingrong, the sixth girl Su Lingyun, the eighth girl Su Lingran, and Su Xi.

The seventh girl is the daughter of Su Xi's third aunt. Unfortunately, she died at the age of three and is rarely mentioned now.

In the past two years, perhaps the second wife, Guo, has been beaten by the old lady, and Su Lingrong and Su Lingyun have become much more peaceful. It may be that they have grown up. Anyway, they have not caused any trouble in recent days.

This day was Mr. Ji's piano lesson. Su Xi put a lot of effort into the piano lesson. She played the piano well in her previous life, but no one appreciated it. Because Fu Yi also played the piano well, one time when Princess Shouchang celebrated her birthday, Fu Yi played a song "Spring River Moon Night". It is said that the sound of the piano attracted the orioles and larks, and the birds sang harmoniously, which won the praise of Princess Shouchang. Later, Fu Yi's piano sound became famous. When people mentioned it, they only said one word "wonderful" and two words "wonderful".

Later, when Su Xi played the piano again, she was called "the imitation of Dongshi".

Without two brushes, I really don’t dare to pluck the strings in front of Fu Dacai.

Su Xi had never attended Princess Shouchang's birthday party, and she didn't know how Fu Yi played the piano, and she didn't know how the sound of the piano attracted the orioles and larks. It was fake to say that she was not curious. In another month, Princess Shouchang's birthday party, and Su Xi thought about going to see what she said in her life and seeing the charm of Fu Cainu.

Su Xi raised her hand and placed it on the strings, abandoned the distracting thoughts in her heart, slowly plucked the strings, and began to play.

When the piano sounded, Mr. Ji on the stage opened his eyes and looked at the little girl sitting upright below.

Su Lingrong also stopped playing the piano and looked at Su Xi with a complicated look on her face. Su Lingyun and Su Lingran were stunned and obsessed.

At the end of the song, Mr. Ji touched his beard and said nothing. Just when Su Xi wondered if he had played the wrong sound, Mr. Ji finally spoke: "Miss Nine will not have to come to my piano lesson from tomorrow."

Su Xi immediately stood up and asked in confusion: "Mr. Ji, why?"

Mr. Ji said: "I have nothing to hand over to Miss Ninth."

Su Xi is skilled in piano and skillful in fingering. In addition, he has been studying hard for the past two years, and he is indeed better than ordinary girls. Mr. Ji only teaches smart students, but he can't teach them a little bit. Instead of staying with him to waste time, it's better to go back and experience it yourself.

Su Xi stood there with her hands hanging down, her eyes feeling at a loss, and said to the truth: "But I still want to continue learning." She felt that she had some things she hadn't learned.

Mr. Ji looked at Su Xi for a moment and saw her stubborn look. He probably didn't believe that he said "there is nothing to be handed over", but he really couldn't teach her. Mr. Ji said, "I have a senior brother of the same school, whose surname is Gu and his name is Tong. His accomplishments in piano art are much higher than mine. He is now living on Qingshui Mountain outside the city. If Miss Nine wants to learn piano, she might as well go and try it out. I will write you a prayer post later. He can teach you a lot."

Su Xi's eyes, which had just dimmed, suddenly lit up, nodding, "Thank you, Mr. Ji."

Su Lingrong put down her hands and asked deliberately: "Mr. Ji, why do you only recommend Mr. Jiu to Sei Gu? We are all your students. Is it a bias for you to do this?"

Mr. Ji's expression did not change, but instead smiled, "If the fourth girl wants to go, I can also write you a greeting. But my senior brother has a strange temperament and may not be willing to see you. If you are lucky enough to get his eye, it would be a waste of my teachings for you all these years."

After class, Mr. Ji really wrote a greeting letter to Su Xi and Su Lingrong, and stamped his own private seal, asking them to take this post when they saw Gu Tong, and then asked Su Lingyun and Su Lingran beside him: "Do you two want to write one too?"

Su Lingyun was quite moved and nodded with a try attitude.

Su Lingran knew her ability and said with a smile: "I won't be embarrassed by the sir."

After leaving the school, Su Xi took the prayer post written by Mr. Ji, with her mouth curved and her footsteps much easier. Just now, when Mr. Ji told her not to come again tomorrow, she was really shocked and thought she had done something wrong, but fortunately she was in a false alarm. She folded the prayer post neatly, put it carefully into the red satin Su embroidered butterfly patterned purse, said goodbye to her eighth cousin Su Lingran, and got on the carriage back to the general's mansion.

In the carriage, Su Lingyun sat next to Su Xi, holding a greeting letter and asked, "Sister Jiu, when are you going to visit Mr. Gu? Why don't we go together?"

Su Lingyun is about to get engaged this year. I don’t know if she suddenly figured it out or what. Instead of relying on the Guo legitimate mother, it is better to get close to the big house. After all, the eldest lady is the head of the back home. Maybe the eldest lady is happy and can still see a good marriage for her. Besides... Su Lingyun looked at Su Xi’s increasingly delicate and tender side face. For the first time, she found that someone’s skin could be so delicate, like a peeled egg, without any flaws. Two years ago, Su Lingyun was beaten to death and didn’t believe that the little fat dumpling would become a big beauty. Looking at Su Xi’s clothes and ornaments, each piece was fine. Just say that the bright xia purple skirt on her body was made of precious shiny satin, and the skirt was embroidered with colorful silk and curly cloud patterns. Only Xiu Chunju made this complicated skirt. Now wearing it on her body is enough to show how much the big house loves her.

Su Lingyun thought that if she cursed Su Xi, she might get some benefits.

Seeing this, Su Lingrong on the other end looked away with contempt, and was quite disdainful of Su Lingyun's style.

Su Xi pondered for a moment, lowered her eyes and said, "Brother Bai'er celebrates her birthday the day after tomorrow. I'm going to go to the street to choose a birthday gift for him. I'm afraid it will take a few days to visit Mr. Gu."

Su Lingyun was regretful at first, and then said, "What gift does Brother Bai want? Let me choose it with you. I know there is a shop with very well-made slingshots, which are most suitable for children of this age of Brother Bai."

Su Xi smiled and said, "Brother Bai doesn't like slingshots." Su Baiyu is now like a little adult.

Su Xi said again: "And I will discuss with Sister Tang tomorrow, she will accompany me."

Su Lingyun was disappointed but not discouraged. She wanted to continue to say something. Seeing Su Xi hanging her eyelids and looking desperate, she had to stop going out with Su Xi.

Second house Xihuyuan.

When Su Lingrong returned, she happened to meet Su Xi and another man in pink came out of the house and stopped walking: "Fourth Brother."

Su Xu was tying the buckles. Seeing Su Lingrong's movements stagnant, she grinned and said, "Sister Rong is back, why is she so early today?"

Su Lingrong said, "My teacher finished class early today." He looked at the man in pink next to him. Seeing that the man was thin and long, his eye sockets were sunken, and his eyes were covered with purple.

Su Xu introduced: "This is the second son of the Qing'an Marquis' Mansion."

As he was speaking, a maid wearing a pink and purple robe-like skirt lowered her head and walked out of the room, hurriedly bowed to Su Lingrong, and said "Fourth Girl" almost at a loss and ran away, not daring to look at people at all. Although it was just a very short look, Su Lingrong still saw the red marks on the maid's neck, and the maid was walking in a strange way, her legs could not be closed and she was trembling.

Su Lingrong suddenly understood what was going on and looked at Su Xi incredibly.

Anping Hou fell ill. As soon as the fourth sister-in-law Dou Jin'er returned to her parents' home to visit relatives this morning, her fourth brother got hooked up with the maid... and was with another man. This... Su Lingrong didn't know what Su Xu was good, and that maid was still someone around her mother Guo.

When Su Xu saw this scene by his sister, he felt a little shameless. He first asked the second young master of the Qing'an Marquis' Mansion to go back and said to Su Lingrong with a shy face: "Don't tell my mother and your fourth sister-in-law."

Su Lingrong opened her mouth and said in shock: "Fourth brother, how could you do such a thing at home... That maid, that maid, if you want it, just tell your mother and put it in the room, but how could you follow others..." On weekdays, Su Xi could do whatever she wanted, but she was outside and was out of sight. Today, Su Lingrong couldn't stand it.

"Isn't this a new thing? You don't understand it even after you say it." Su Xu touched his nose, and he was still unsatisfied when he remembered the feeling just now. He told Su Lingrong, "Don't say it out. If you ask Mom and Jin'er to know, you will definitely make trouble with me again."

Su Lingrong raised her voice: "You know they will make trouble."

Su Xu hurriedly covered Su Lingrong's mouth and glared at her.

The next day, Su Xi and Tang Wan went out to the streets together to choose Su Baiyu's birthday gift.

Su Baiyu was at the age of studying and literacy. Su Xi thought for a few days and decided to buy him a set of ink utensils. After leaving several shops, she finally got a set of stationery plates with red lotus-woven patterns. Su Xi asked the price and asked Tingyan to buy it.

On the day of Su Baiyu's birth, Su Xi said: "Brother Bai should not just study martial arts. He still has to study hard so that he can only be able to keep his martial arts in the future."

Su Baiyu has been practicing martial arts with his elder brother Su Li in the past two years and has grown a lot taller.

Su Baiyu stared at the stationery plate in front of him and looked at Su Xi again. He picked up Su Xi's hand and placed it on top of his head, and remained silent.

Su Xi understood, rubbed it gently twice, and asked again: "Can Brother Bai study hard?"

Su Baiyu nodded and said, "Yes."

This scene happened to be seen by Su Li who entered the door. Su Xi chuckled and said with mixed feelings: "Brother Bai is only so obedient in front of young people." Su Li asked Su Baiyu to study more than once, and Su Baiyu never paid attention to him.

Su Xi bent her almond eyes. Su Baiyu was naturally happy when she got close to her.

After Su Baiyu's birth, on the second day, Su Xi was going to Mr. Dong's cross-yard to practice dance. After a long time of fatigue, he went back to the house to take a shower and rested early. Another day later, Su Xi remembered the prayer letter written by Mr. Ji. She hurriedly ordered people to prepare a carriage and go to Qingshui Mountain outside the city to visit Mr. Kirigu.

It just so happened that Su Lingrong and Su Lingyun also visited Mr. Gu today. The three of them met at the door and went together.
