Chapter 234 It’s better to keep a low profile
Midway through February, the ice and snow in Jinyang City began to melt. Before noon, the cotton-padded clothes on my body became too loose to wear.
Su Peisheng wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a smile: "Big Spoon girl, is our girl up yet?"
Da Shao shook his head: "No movement yet, but it seems that the time is almost up. Please wait a moment, Grandpa. I will go in and take a look."
Su Peisheng smiled and nodded, then turned to the eunuchs behind him and said, "Put them in the corridor first. They are all clumsy, so don't let them fall!"
Inside the room, Dashao carefully walked to the bedside, lifted a corner and looked over, and sure enough, she saw that her master had woken up.
A pair of beautiful watery eyes were staring blankly at the ceiling of the bed, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Girl?" Dashao called out tentatively.
"Hmm?" Wenjiu came back to his senses and blinked twice. He still felt that the auspicious cloud pattern above the bed was shaking.
After a while, she felt the dizziness had eased a little, so she supported her head and sat up.
"Girl..." Dashao went over to help her blankly.
"What's wrong?" Wenjiu waved his hand in front of Dashao's eyes: "What are you looking at?"
"Girl, you are so beautiful." Dashao swallowed hard. He looked at the girl's face every day and was amazed every time.
Her black hair was loose, covering half of her body. Her bellyband was hanging loosely, with a few red marks on her neck. Her beautiful eyes were full of charm. She was supporting her head lazily at this moment. When Dashao was looked at by her, he felt a numbness in his heart.
"Oh, you're silly." Wen Jiu pinched Da Shao's chubby face, which had been filled with meat recently. "I'm very happy that you praised me, girl. I'll give you a chicken drumstick tonight."
As soon as he finished speaking, two hearts popped out on Dashao's head.
"Girls are the best!"
Dashao's eyes were surprisingly bright.
After serving her warm wine and washing up, she finally remembered, "Oh, Miss, Eunuch Su just arrived and stayed outside for a while. He said he wanted to see you."
Wen Jiu was surprised: "What did they say?" This morning when the Fourth Master woke up, it seemed that he had hugged her and said a lot of things. Wen Jiu thought carefully about it now, but she couldn't remember it clearly. She didn't know what Su Peisheng came here for.
Dashao shook his head: "No, but he brought two large boxes, probably gifts for the girls?"
Wenjiu nodded and pointed to a goose yellow dress: "Wear it."
Wen Jiu was stunned when he accidentally saw an extra ring on his hand.
He had stepped down yesterday to tease her. When she was getting dressed, Wen Jiu saw the faint red mark on her abdomen and couldn't help but be stunned.
When I served him in the past, my body was always covered with bruises and purples, as if I had been abused.
Yesterday, I only had a few light red marks...
He seemed more patient than before.
"Girl?" Dashao called out when he saw her stunned.
Wenjiu suddenly came back to his senses and patted her hot cheek: "No, nothing. Wait until you are dressed and let Su Peisheng come in."
Wenjiu! What are you thinking about! Wenjiu wanted to slap herself. She shook her head, trying to shake out the things in her head.
"Yes." Dashao responded, carefully helped Wenjiu put on his clothes, and went out to call Su Peisheng.
"Miss, how are you?" Su Peisheng walked into the room, his eyes narrowed with laughter. "The master guessed that you would wake up at this time, so he sent me here."
Behind Su Peisheng, four young eunuchs were carrying two large boxes. After putting them down, they didn't even dare to look at them and immediately retreated.
When Wangcai saw the door was open, he immediately followed his master in and started circling around the warm wine, barking and begging for touch.
Wenjiu touched Wangcai's head, smiled and pointed to the seat next to him, and said to Su Peisheng: "Sit down and talk, have some tea, you're tired of standing."
As she spoke, she collapsed on the chair.
The smile on Su Peisheng's face became even brighter. Now that there was no one else around, he didn't feel shy and took a small position on a stool at the bottom that was much shorter than Wenjiu.
Then he smiled and said, "Miss, the master asked me to bring you a message. He said you don't need to choose the gifts for returning to the capital. Just use these."
Wen Jiu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "What are these?"
What did the Fourth Master mean by this? Did he not trust me in choosing gifts for his two wives? Or did he hear me say yesterday that he was uncomfortable buying things for his two wives, and that's why he sent them?
"These are some cloths. I went out earlier to pick them out. Lord Beile said that this box should be taken back to the mansion, and this other box should be used to make clothes for you, young lady." Su Peisheng ran over and opened the upper box himself, saying, "This box is for the mansion, and this box is specially for you, young lady."
"A whole box is for making clothes for me?" Wen Jiu couldn't help but smack his lips after hearing that. With so much, how long would it take to use it?
"Of course, the master told you to make do with it first, and when there's something better, I'll fill it up for you." Su Peisheng looked at Wen Jiu in shock, and he felt better. Just say that what the master did was really too shocking, right?
The other three ladies in the mansion each had one box, and the girl herself had one box.
You think that's surprising enough, right? But it's not over yet. The master divided up the fabrics himself.
Although the girl's box is relatively small, most of the valuable things are actually in it.
Wen Jiu now had some discerning eyes. After taking a look around, he realized that her box was more valuable. He saw two pieces of precious Shu brocade inside. Moreover, it was a box with another small box inside. If his guess was correct, the Fourth Master must have bought her another box of jewelry.
After thinking for a moment, Wen Jiu randomly pointed to two horses with plain colors and said, "I'll just keep these two. The others, give them to the mansion."
When Su Peisheng heard this, he immediately became anxious: "Miss, these are all given to you by the master, how can this be possible?"
Wen Jiu said, "Forget it. The wives, concubines, and princesses in the mansion are all of higher status than me. Look at this material. If I were given it, would I dare to wear it out? I'm going back to the capital tomorrow, so I'd better keep a low profile."
It would be fine if he was unruly outside, but once he returned to the capital, his status would make the Li family no match for him.
Wen Jiu asked Da Shao to take out the materials and said, "Just take these two pieces. Go back and tell Master that this was my idea."
After hearing Wen Jiu's heartfelt words, Su Peisheng couldn't help but be stunned: "Miss...you are right. Don't worry, the master's servant will help you to talk to him."
Su Peisheng knew that the girl had always been close to him, and he also thought that the girl was a good person. However, after many years in the deep palace, he was still a little wary.
But he didn't expect that the girl had already regarded him as her own. What the girl said was indeed that given her status, even if she was favored, she shouldn't stand out, it's better to be safe.
Wen Jiu couldn't help but be stunned when he saw that the color of the heart on Su Peisheng's head had become darker.
She didn't think much about it. Su Peisheng had a heart before, and she trusted him. She didn't expect that he would take her words to heart.
