Chapter 403: The Autumn Moon of the Four Great Talents
In the next few days, Su Xueyun used the excuse of Qiu Xiang asking her to help at home, but did not ask her to go to the Taishi Mansion again, so as not to have trouble with Tang Bohu. She could learn from Chen Xiaosheng about Tang Bohu every day that it was just that she had provoked a certain servant today and a maid tomorrow. In the end, she was beaten. She was bruised and swollen in just three days, and there was no good place in her body. Once, Chen Xiaosheng encountered him being beaten, so he advised him to leave the Taishi Mansion when there was no one. The Taishi would not care about him. However, Tang Bohu not only refused to listen, but also said that it must be Taishi Hua who deliberately messed with him. Not only did he not leave, he also wanted to make the Taishi Mansion a furious thing, making them restless.
Su Xueyun just snorted at this. Tai Shi Hua was busy with national affairs every day, and probably forgot about such a person. Tang Bohu just took a high opinion of himself and thought that everyone should treat him as a character, so he was really shameless. In the past, when she saw that Tang Bohu was a brother who grew up with Chen Xiaosheng, she just pretended that there was no such person to ignore it. Unexpectedly, this person always came to her. Now, in order to deal with Qiuxiang, he ran to the Tai Shi Mansion, and did not let him suffer a little, he thought that the world was surrounding him.
Su Xueyun kept Qiuxiang at home and had something to do. She brought Qiuxiang and Zhu Xiaolian to match rouge and water powder, and sketches of beaded hairpins and women's clothes. She traveled through so many worlds and didn't know how many good things she used, and she herself is a good medicine and poison. It's not a problem to match some rouge and water powder, and even can match beauty products with Chinese medicine ingredients according to the guests' situation. As for jewelry and clothing, it's even simpler. She has almost witnessed the evolution of fashion from ancient times to the present. Those things are in her mind. She draws well and can draw each picture vividly. And these are suitable for this world and there is no such thing in this world. It's just right to teach the two girls.
Qiuxiang was amazed at how many things Su Xueyun knew. When she saw Su Xueyun go to the study to pick up the ink strips, she picked up the rouge that Su Xueyun had just matched and said, "My sister's life in the past ten years must be very exciting. Unlike me, she can't do anything except being a maid."
Zhu Xiaolian's smile faded, she put down her things, looked at her seriously and said, "Qiuxiang, don't say these words in front of your sister-in-law, don't mention the past."
Qiuxiang said in surprise: "Why? My sister is so talented, isn't she sad that she was not living well in the past?"
Zhu Xiaolian sighed and said, "I don't know what kind of life my sister-in-law has lived before, but she was caught back and raised like a dead man since she was a child. She really crawled out of the dead. Do you think her life is good? I can't even imagine the feeling that she will die at any time. In the past ten years, she has been controlled to do a lot of things she doesn't want to do. When I first met her, she was cold and wouldn't laugh at all."
Qiuxiang said in disbelief: "Sister...how could she be like this? I saw that my sister smiled and taught us things every day, and was kind to others. I thought...I thought the person who raised my elder sister was a very respectable person, how could she be so cruel?"
Zhu Xiaolian slapped the table and said indignantly: "It's more than that! At that time, Tang Bohu was going to Beijing to take the exam, but his father must take his concubine before he could let him go to Beijing. Tang Bohu asked his sister-in-law for a marriage and used sweet words to deceive his sister-in-law. Her sister-in-law never wanted to live a life of licking blood from the knife. Tang Bohu promised her a stable home, so she believed Tang Bohu and went back to tell the person who controlled her that he would leave the life of an ordinary person. Unexpectedly, the man cruelly beat his sister-in-law seriously.
, and also gave her five poisons. As long as her sister-in-law drank Heqin wine on the day of her marriage, she would poison her heart and her whole body would be severely painful. After suffering so much, Tang Bohu, that bastard, actually said that if she didn't like taking a concubine like wearing clothes, she could throw it away. Tang Bohu's father also said that his sister-in-law was not innocent and didn't even let her eat. She also used silver notes to insult her sister-in-law in vain. Tang Bohu actually watched, making her sister-in-law so angry that she vomited blood."
Qiuxiang held the table and couldn't stand steadily. She murmured in shock: "Sister has suffered all the torture... Why did she encounter these things? It's so terrible..."
Zhu Xiaolian wiped her tears and said, "So we can't forgive Tang Bohu in our lives. If it weren't for him, how could my sister-in-law almost die?"
"What? Sister almost died? What's going on?" Qiuxiang grabbed Zhu Xiaolian and said anxiously.
Zhu Xiaolian patted her hand and said, "It's okay now. At that time, my sister-in-law's five-door poisons were cured. By chance, someone threw wine on her body, which caused the poison to attack early. It was so thrilling that my sister-in-law was sent to the Ice Cave and almost lost her. Fortunately, my brother learned a lot of useful things from his master, and finally rescued his sister-in-law with Dr. Hua. Tang Bohu actually accused my brother of snatching love with his sword. Humph, my brother not only saved his sister-in-law, but also killed the person who controlled her. He came back forever. What did he do when Tang Bohu do? He only drank his sorrows with alcohol, and then swayed in front of us with a look of letting go of his heart. I wanted to vomit when I saw him!"
Qiuxiang fell to the stool in a daze, and she burst into tears without realizing it. "It turns out that I almost don't have my sister. Although I am inferior to the Grand Tutor's Mansion, I have been free from food and clothing for more than ten years. I am still the maid in the mansion and highly valued by my wife. Compared with me, my sister's life is really too painful. I can't imagine that she can still have a warm heart after experiencing those things. If possible, I really hope that I can suffer these sufferings for her."
Zhu Xiaolian nodded, "That's right, so sister-in-law is really very good, and it's true that she is talented. She started learning after leaving the place where people can eat. Sister-in-law entered the Six Arts Association to study. The owner of the Pavilion Zhou praised her as a genius and accepted her as a closed disciple. She is the only female student in our place. Everyone in Suzhou knows that she is talented!" She took a veil to Qiuxiang and comforted her, "Don't be sad either. After all, it's all the past. As long as we are better to our sister-in-law in the future, right? Now my sister-in-law is overwhelmed, I think the Grand Master's wife is right. Sister-in-law is our great blessing star. Since she married into our family, my brother and I have been living much better than before. I never dared to dream of living such a life before. I really cherish it very much and don't want my sister-in-law to be a little unhappy."
Qiuxiang wiped away her tears and whispered: "Xiaolian, you are right. I can't suffer for my sister, but I can treat her more well in the future. I will definitely learn what my sister teaches me. When I can do these things well in the future, I will let my sister be a wealthy idle person. I will definitely not let my sister suffer any grievances!"
Zhu Xiaolian nodded vigorously, "Yes, we must study hard, so that our sister-in-law will enjoy a peaceful life in the future and don't worry about anything!"
The two looked at each other, their eyes full of determination, as if they had set some amazing goals and would do their best to do their best for this goal.
Su Xueyun stood outside the door and felt her eyes a little wet. She was kind to them and never thought of any reward. Now she was surprised to hear what they said, and then she felt warm in her heart. This is the real family, she would think about each other and feel sorry for each other. She thought that all her family in this life would be extraordinary. Maybe she is also good to be a wealthy and idle person, so let them do what they are worried about.
Su Xueyun sorted out her mood, stepped into the door with the ink strip, and smiled and said, "I've brought the thing, let's continue drawing pictures."
"Yes." Qiuxiang and Zhu Xiaolian nodded together, and their bodies were filled with indomitable spirit.
When Chen Xiaosheng came back in the evening, Su Xueyun told him about this. Chen Xiaosheng was not surprised. He smiled and held her hand and said, "If you are good to them, they can naturally feel that as long as you are not a person without conscience, they will be grateful to you and want to repay you. Don't talk about them, even I feel that I am not good enough to you, and I can't compare to what you have paid."
Su Xueyun burst out laughing, "If you are not good enough to me, then no one will be nice to me."
Chen Xiaosheng smiled at her and said, "I am serious. Even if I give all my money, I still don't feel enough. Unfortunately, even if I try my best to learn, I still don't learn enough. Sometimes I think, if I have more time to hone before I know you, I can always protect you so that you don't have to worry about anything."
Su Xueyun smiled and leaned into his arms and said, "It's good now. I feel very happy. I am really grateful to God for letting me meet you, fall in love with you, and be with you for life."
Chen Xiaosheng touched her hair and smiled slightly, but he felt very regretful that he could not become stronger. There were still decades left in this life, so he could only do his best to do his best to her.
The store that Su Xueyun bought was still being renovated, so she taught Zhu Xiaolian and Qiuxiang carefully at home. They were also very smart people and learned very quickly. Zhu Xiaolian used to be a book boy for her brother in the Six Arts Hall, and Qiuxiang was also highly valued by the master in the Grand Tutor's Mansion. Both of them were influenced by their eyes and calligraphy and painting. They could even learn from each other and learn from each other, making Su Xueyun very satisfied with the two "students" they taught.
After Qiuxiang and Zhu Xiaolian learned to match rouge, they matched them from morning to night, and they also had to draw sketches of jewelry and ready-made clothes with lights at night. Su Xueyun advised them twice to ask them to rest, but the two agreed in person and still worked so hard when they turned around. Su Xueyun had to add more spiritual spring water to the meal every day, and ignored the others. Who had never fought when she was young? It is a good thing to have this kind of fighting spirit, and no one should stop him.
The shop was following the plan step by step, and it became more and more beautiful. It had been seven days since Tang Bohu worked as a servant in Huafu. Not to mention first-time servants, even the last servants were treated better than him. Su Xueyun felt relieved and wanted to be farther away from him. Unexpectedly, they happened to be on the birthday of Taishi Hua. Their family received invitations, and the emperor was going to visit the Taishi Mansion. Su Xueyun knew that King Ning was going to frame the Chinese civil and military personnel on this day, so naturally he could not ignore it. So their family solemnly prepared generous gifts, went to the Taishi Mansion to celebrate his birthday, and also saw the foolish emperor in this world.
