First-rank palace maid Su Jixiang

Chapter 153 Blue Ice Lotus

"By the way, I noticed that you bought a lot of new clothes recently." Fang Dawei said.

Bi He's eyes suddenly jumped, and she tried hard to keep smiling, "Husband, it's also for your face if a woman has more clothes."

"That's true, but we still have to make a living." Fang Dawei said, "Our family is not a wealthy one, so we still have to be a little frugal."

"Yes, my husband is right." Bihe didn't dare to say more and could only follow Fang Dawei's words.

"I have to patrol the camp today, and I just came back to see you. I'm leaving now. It will take three days." Fang Dawei walked to Bihe's side, opened his arms to hug his wife, and kissed her hard on her face.

Then he reluctantly let Bi He go, "I didn't miss you much when I was away for a few days, but now I have you in my heart! Be careful at home these few days."

"I understand, husband," Bihe was worried, but now she could only force a smile and make a shy expression.

Fang Dawei sighed softly, took his things and strode out.

Bihe sent the man out the door, and watched him mount his horse and gallop away with his anxious men, then she breathed a sigh of relief.

It was freezing cold, and she actually broke out in a little sweat. This time, the cold wind blew, and she felt cold all over. She quickly hugged her arms and returned home.

As soon as she entered, she quickly closed the door and took out a wooden box that she had hidden at the bottom of the closet.

Inside were various jewellery she had collected from the wealthy ladies of Wei County, including a pair of bracelets with gold thread patterns inlaid with rubies, a pair of gold bracelets with auspicious dragons and phoenixes, a pair of carved white jade hairpins, two gold hairpins, two step-shaking ornaments, two necklaces, a ruby necklace, and two each of forbidden steps and pressure collars.

These things were already sparkling just lying in the box. When they were taken out and shone upon by a little light, precious light flowed.

This is all really good stuff.

Bihe herself was a maidservant who followed the concubine. She had seen all kinds of good things. There were many wives of wealthy merchants who gave her gifts, but she only accepted a few of them because they caught her eye. As for those silver and gold-plated things, she was too lazy to even take a second look.

A few days ago, she attended a banquet hosted by Su Jixiang, and just by wearing a few of them, she attracted everyone's attention. It can be seen that these things are indeed gorgeous and precious.

According to Fang Dawei, she really should return all these things.

But after she took out all the things, she looked left and right and touched them, but there was nothing she was willing to return.

Bihe stroked each piece of jewelry, then closed the box again. She sat on the edge of the bed holding the box and was in a daze for a long time before she decided to put the box away.

She was not going to return the things in the box, including the white fox shawl hanging in her closet. No matter what good things people gave her in the future, she would just refuse to accept them.

After making up her mind, Bihe let out a long sigh, as if she had let go of a heavy burden.

The promotion of jadeite is in place.

Su Jixiang became busy.

The ladies, each with their own thoughts, sent in invitations to visit.

According to Wei Ling's request, Su Jixiang accepted everyone who came.

No matter who sent her something, she took it all in one go, and soon the storeroom in her home was no longer big enough.

That night, Su Jixiang dragged Wei Ling, who had just returned from patrolling the camp, to the door of the warehouse and stuffed an account book into his hand. "Take a look, this is my spoils of war when you were away from home during the past few days." She yawned. "There is no need to worry about storing anything in this warehouse. I also asked Wei Dong to freeze some game that might go bad with me in the backyard."

The gifts included a lot of freshly hunted game.

Those things would go bad, so Su Jixiang could only call Wei Dong, Wei Feng and Wei Jing to make two large refrigerators with ice and freeze all the game in them. Fortunately, it was winter and there was ice everywhere in the north, which was a natural ice cellar. Otherwise, Su Jixiang really didn't know what to do with so much game.

Wei Ling returned home today and sent someone to deliver the news early, so Su Jixiang kept staring at him.

Otherwise, Su Jixiang should have been asleep by now.

In modern times, she had no habit of staying up late. After all, she had been in school and joined the army after graduation. She lived a very regular life. Even after arriving in Daxie, Su Jixiang didn't think there was anything wrong with not having a mobile phone to play with. She was very accustomed to the life of going to bed early and getting up early.

At this moment, she was already feeling a little sleepy and was yawning continuously.

Wei Ling looked at Su Jixiang's eyes, which were slightly watery due to yawning, and his heart softened.

"I just came back, so I won't look at these things." Wei Ling said softly, "I brought you something."

"I have a gift?" Su Jixiang was startled. She smiled and stood up straight. "Then if you give me something, I won't be sleepy anymore."

She spread her hands towards Wei Ling.

Wei Ling knew that Su Jixiang was a little money-grubber. He was so sleepy just now that he couldn't open his eyes, but now his eyes began to shine.

Wei Ling smiled and shook his head. He took out a box from his armor and handed it to Su Jixiang. "I saw this on the way to patrol the camp. I picked it and gave it to you."

Su Jixiang took the box. It was a small box, only the size of a palm. The workmanship was not very exquisite. It looked like it was carved by a novice, and the knife marks were very obvious.

"Did you carve it yourself?" Su Jixiang looked at the box and asked.

"Madam is smart." Wei Ling nodded. "This is the first time I made something, so it's a little rough, but it's a thoughtful gesture."

"You've said everything...what else can I say!" Su Jixiang glanced at Wei Ling, "But I still have to thank you! Thank you for your hard work." Wei Ling was the first to praise her, so she could only thank him.

After opening the box, with the help of the lantern in Lushui's hand, Su Jixiang could clearly see that there was a pair of crystal clear purple flowers lying inside the box.

The petals of the flower seem to be made of ice and snow, or as if a layer of transparent ice shell has condensed on the surface of the petals. The flower is very beautiful and elegant, and the shape is a bit like an iris, but much more gorgeous than an iris.

"Is this the blue ice lotus?" Lushui was an expert and could tell the name of the flower at a glance.

"So is there any point to this?" Su Jixiang asked.

Since she is not from the Daxie Dynasty, it is normal for her to like these flowers and plants. After all, there are not many flowers she knows in modern times, and the flowers she knows are all edible...
