"Sister, are you okay? From the sound of your voice..." Su Qingdai asked with a frown.
She was a little confused. What could have caused a top-notch lady from Taiqing Prefecture to have a hoarse voice and feel unwell and unable to see people? Could it be that she was injured while rescuing Ziyu the day before? Ziyu was now by her side, taking good care of her?
It was quiet again.
The woman in the room whispered, "I... am fine." There were some weak breathing sounds in between.
Su Qingdai nodded and was about to speak: "Sister Zhao, I want to..."
"Qian'er."
A weak woman in the room seemed not to want to talk to her through the door and called out "Xiao Qian'er".
“Here I come.”
The girl quickly turned around, ran back, opened and closed the door, and entered the main room.
At the same time, a swing appeared in front of Su Qingdai.
The meaning is self-evident.
After a while, Xiao Qianer returned to the yard and said with her arms folded:
"The young lady said that I am not feeling well. I am sorry to have embarrassed Miss Su. Thank you for the porridge Miss Su sent. I appreciate your kindness, but it is a pity that it is not convenient for me to taste it now. I hope Miss Su will not blame me..."
Su Qingdai couldn't help but interrupt: "It's okay, if you're not feeling well, I can go in and feed you some porridge. I've learned some techniques for recuperation in the sect before, so I can take care of you."
As she spoke, her voice gradually became quieter and then she paused.
Because the arrogant girl in front of her with her hands on her hips was glancing at her out of the corner of her eye.
"Sister Qian'er, you say, you say..." Su Qingdai said with a smile.
"Humph, you like to butt in on me now, do you want to butt in on my team in the future..."
The girl snorted lightly, and then asked directly:
"Miss, I have one last question for you. Just answer whatever you want and don't be nervous." She pouted.
"What's the problem?" Su Qingdai straightened her waist under her skirt.
Xiao Qian'er asked casually, "Miss, is there anyone or anything that Miss Su can't let go of in Dali?"
Su Qingdai raised her eyes to look at the quiet main wing, lowered her eyes, then raised them again, and finally lowered them again.
"No. The person I miss the most right now is Ziyu." After a pause, "Of course, there are also Sister Zhao and Sister Qian'er. In addition, the last one is my parents at home..."
Xiao Qian'er didn't have the patience to listen to the end, so she interrupted and asked, "What you mean is that you only care about our Zhao family, right?"
Su Qingdai nodded, "Sister Qian'er's summary is brilliant."
"What insightful do you mean? I think you are nothing." Xiao Qian'er muttered.
“…”Su Qingdai.
She waved her hand, "Okay."
Having said that, Xiao Qian'er ran back to the main wing.
Afterwards, Su Qingdai waited for a while.
She looked up at the quiet house ten meters ahead, and at the closed door on its three steps that blocked her out.
Su Qingdai turned her head and glanced at the Jiyue Mountain behind her.
Then, when the sound of the door opening was heard again in front of her, she turned her head silently.
This time, Xiao Qian'er put away the swing, moved closer to Su Qingdai, and circled around her with her hands behind her back.
While turning:
"The young lady said that the Su family's sister should go back first..."
Xiao Qian'er paused, glanced at Su Qingdai who looked a little nervous, and chuckled: "... Go back and pack your things. The boat will leave at 2:55 pm this afternoon."
Su Qingdai breathed a sigh of relief, then immediately realized, "It's so fast... I haven't even had time to buy my ticket yet."
Xiao Qian'er put her hands behind her back and prepared to return. She didn't even turn her head back: "The whole ship is ours. You are not the only one left."
Su Qingdai: “…”
"That's right."
The girl's back suddenly stopped, and she turned around and said, "My family's status has risen dramatically recently."
"It's a pity that you entered the family a little late. Besides me, you have another sister who is below you. She is a smart and beautiful little fox fairy. What a coincidence, she is also your cousin. Her surname is Su and her maiden name is Da Huang. That's not right, it should be Xiao Xiao. She entered the family a day earlier than you. When we meet later, remember to put dessert in your mouth and call her."
Xiao Qian'er paused for a moment and tilted her head again: "Well, you haven't completely entered the door yet, just half a step. When we get to Taiqing Mansion in Duyou City, the lady and I will take another look at you..."
Su Qingdai lowered her eyes and nodded, as if she had something to say but hesitated.
"Oh, one more thing." Xiao Qian'er smiled and ordered, "From now on, you are not allowed to call me Ziyu. You have to call me Master. Maid Su, remember your temporary identity."
It's not that easy to be promoted from a little maid to a concubine and enter the Zhao family. Is it like a vegetable market? You can just come in if you want to?
In addition, sometimes, there are things that the young ladies are not convenient to say, and they have to be said by her, the second lady.
The white face and the black face have to be sung separately.
And on some issues, the young lady is the legal wife, and she is just a little girl. Brother Rong'er will have some opinions about the young lady, but he will not have some opinions about her, right?
The girl, who understood these interests very well, smiled and nodded.
Su Qingdai whispered back, "Okay."
Xiao Qian'er looked at her.
Su Qingdai seemed a little absent-minded.
She ignored it and turned to leave.
Su Qingdai couldn't help but raise her head and said, "Sister Qian'er, can you help me ask Sister Zhao if she can...give me a little more time."
Xiao Qian'er asked: "Why, you don't want to go with us? Is this difficult for you?"
"no."
"So do you have unfinished business, or someone you can't let go of?"
Su Qingdai shook her head, then hesitated and nodded, "It's not an important matter. I just thought that once I go with Ziyu... and the master and my sisters, it might take a long time for us to come back. I want to go home and tell my parents in person."
Xiao Qian'er, who was about to make some sarcastic remarks, swallowed her words, looked at her again, and nodded.
"Wait."
Xiao Qian'er returned to the main room again.
Send a message to the lady.
Not long after, she returned again.
This time, the girl with peach blossom eyes had a cup of hot tea and a silver medal in her hands.
Xiao Qian'er didn't waste any words and directly ordered:
"The lady said, OK."
"Sister Su, go back and see your father and mother, and convey my and my husband's regards. When these matters are settled, I will immediately go north to Duyou and come to the Four Prefectures of Taiqing. Show this silver medal and come to Qinglian Pavilion to find me. At that time, I will have a good chat with you and discuss some matters concerning your future training."
Su Qingdai's pupils shrank slightly when she heard this, and she looked at the silver medal in Xiao Qian'er's hand.
Everything has been arranged for Sister Zhao in the room, whom I have never met before.
Let Su Qingdai stop seeing Zi Yu and come see her first.
She had the demeanor of a powerful lady who would not tolerate any objection.
This shows his character.
Moreover, the implication of this elder sister's words was... that she could be arranged to enter the four Taiqing Prefectures where geniuses gathered! ?
"Does the Su family's sister have any objections?"
"Ah... no, okay... okay, thank you Sister Zhao, thank you Master."
Su Qingdai came back to her senses.
As a result, Xiao Qian'er handed over the silver medal, looked down at the patterns on it, and put it away carefully.
Xiao Qian'er handed the teacup over again.
"The young lady also said that she had a very pleasant conversation with the younger sister of the Su family today. The younger sister was very reasonable and sensible, and she respected the elder sister and gave her a cup of tea. She will wait for you in the Qinglian Pavilion of Taiqing Mansion one day."
Su Qingdai reached out to take the teacup, touched the warm wall of the cup, and hesitated, "I should be the one to hand Sister Zhao a cup of tea. I should do it."
Xiao Qian'er's expression was calm. "It's not the right time to serve tea to the young lady. We can talk about it after you go to Duyou City. Besides..."
She tilted her head, leaned forward slightly, and whispered, "You are not really going to come to Duyou City, are you? No, no? Maid Su, you have to think it over. Duyou City is not this small Dali, and Taiqing Mansion is not that small Ziwei Pavilion. If you really enter this family and make your fake play real, you will never regret it."
The girl looked at the stunning woman in the black dress with a half-smile.
Still don't forget to knock it.
"Okay... Thank you, Sister Qian'er, for your advice."
Su Qingdai lowered her eyes and took a sip of the slightly hot tea.
"However, I have said it a long time ago, Ziyu... wherever the master goes, I will go there. He is my true love, and it is still the same now."
She raised her head towards Xiao Qian'er and the quiet main room behind her, and nodded seriously: "Thank you for your hard work, Sister Zhao and Sister Qian'er. Dai'er will come right after she finishes taking care of her parents' housework."
There was still no response from the main wing, but then the sound of some men's footsteps were heard.
Xiao Qian'er glanced at Su Qingdai a little longer but didn't say anything.
Not long.
Su Qingdai finished her tea and politely left.
…
A stunning woman in a black dress left the elegant courtyard.
He turned his back and walked slowly towards the bamboo forest ahead.
Where you come from, go back to where you come from.
The same thing happened with the exquisite food box in her hand, which she brought in and now brought out intact.
There is no question of feeling lost or wronged.
But not many people have stepped into the joy of the old Zhao family.
Su Qingdai narrowed her eyes and looked at Jiyue Mountain again.
“It looks so close, but it’s actually so far away when you walk over to it.”
Su Qingdai suddenly remembered that a woman named Channu once told her that her personality was like this Moon-Sacrificing Mountain, neither close nor far, neither cold nor hot, and it was very difficult to truly fall in love with someone...
The indifferent woman was lost in thought, and unknowingly she had walked away from the elegant courtyard and into the bamboo forest with her food box in her hand.
Just then, a shout suddenly came from behind her.
"Hey, Su Qingdai, wait a moment."
Su Qingdai was startled and looked back.
"master?"
"What master or not? Don't listen to Qian'er's nonsense. When they are not here, just call me the same way you did before..."
Zhao Rong trotted over to Su Qingdai.
After fighting all night, he could only admit that he felt a little weak. Before he could even stop, Zhao Rong snatched the food box from her hand.
Open the lid.
Without saying a word, he picked up the bowl of porridge and poured it into his mouth.
"Phew~ I'm starving. And Qingdai, don't leave yet, let's have a chat."
…
