Chapter 4 The eldest princess of Fuqing
The sixth girl, Xiao Leyan, was born by Aunt Li, and her biological mother was not favored, so she herself had to be clever and ingenious, always flattering and pretending to be well-behaved in front of Mrs. Tai and Gu's family, and when she heard the words, she hurriedly ran to Gu's side, holding her sleeves and coquettishly, "Mother, mother, the second sister has a new dress, but a few of us haven't landed yet, and my mother has to feel sorry for us."
Xiao Leyan was just eleven years old, her eyes were big, her long eyelashes were flickering, she looked cute and clever, Gu Shi had always liked her very much, and patted her with a smile, "This girl, where can I miss your share?"
While laughing, Gu's cronies Du Ma came in through the curtain and replied: "The eldest lady, the second lady, and the old lady's guard of honor have entered the inner city gate."
Gu and Zhou stood up one after another, and Gu looked at everyone, "In this case, let's go, go to the second gate to greet the old lady." So each of their girls waited for their respective masters, and followed behind the Gu family and the Zhou family, and the group went to the second gate in a mighty way.
Le Yu stood beside the third girl, Le Wan, if anyone could see her lowered gaze, they would definitely be frightened, that gaze was very cold, very cold.
The eldest princess of Fuqing, the beloved daughter of Emperor Chongping, the real phoenix, even the current emperor has to call her "imperial aunt", no matter how carefully she and her mother served in her previous life, she was truly filial, she has always been disdainful.
After waiting for a little half an hour, Zhou and Xiao Lerao Xiao Leyan couldn't help but quietly change their feet, and the huge marble bats outside the second gate were towards the end of the cloud shadow wall, and there were many people's footsteps, the first to turn around was a dry girl, followed by eight light-armored guards holding honor flags, a vermilion-topped Dan lacquer carved phoenix treasure car, tassels and incense, luxurious and gorgeous, and the eight daughters-in-law and mother-in-law arched before and after, which was the old lady's car.
Lifting the curtain, the first to jump down was the old lady's side of the scarf and jade plate, Gu and Zhou had already greeted and helped the old lady get out of the car. The eldest princess of Fuqing has a deep relationship with the old lady, and since she married in, she no longer lets people call herself "princess", in order to show that she is just the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family, but she is a golden branch and jade leaf, and the rules and pomp cannot be reduced.
"Get up." The old lady's majestic and slightly tired voice sounded, Le Yu got up with everyone, and glanced at the old lady without a trace.
Everyone gathered around the old lady to the old lady's living in the condensing hall, and after the old lady washed up and changed into homely clothes, the children and relatives of the family sat in the side hall and talked.
The old lady was indeed a little tired and had no guests after a long time, so she crooked on the black lacquer arhat bed with her head incessant, took Xiao Lexian's hand, and asked Zhou lightly: "These days, there is nothing to do at home."
Because of the old lady's disgust with the Gu family, the Xiao family actually crossed the Gu family, the serious eldest daughter-in-law, and was housed by the Zhou family, so the old lady asked the Zhou family.
Zhou's face was full of smiles, "The family is very good, the old lady can rest assured, but Rao'er often says that the old lady is not at home and does not come to Ningtang every day to say goodbye, but her heart is empty, and she always feels that something is missing."
Xiao Lerao was also busy looking at the old lady with a cooperative face full of admiration, but the old lady didn't look at her, and only said lightly: "Well, I know that Rao'er is a filial person."
Seeing the old lady faintly, Zhou and Xiao Lerao were a little sneering, Xiao Lexian's voice was soft, and she pinched the old lady's shoulder, "Grandmother is tired from traveling all the way, and my granddaughter personally cooked Ejiao red date and rose porridge, which is the best way to calm the nerves and recuperate, and it can also make the complexion ruddy, grandmother can taste it."
The old lady's face softened, patted Xiao Lexian's hand, and said with a smile: "Okay," she said, and said with some distress: "Silly boy, just leave these things to the girls, don't burn your hands."
Xiao Lexian smiled softly, "Xian'er is not tired, how can the things given to grandmother be fake." Xiao Lexian's girl brocade book had stepped forward with the porridge, the old lady took it, and saw that the crystal clear porridge was faint pink, exuding the rich aroma of roses, the old lady couldn't help but take a deep breath, scooped up and tasted it with a smile, and praised: "Well, it's sweet and refreshing, and it's very appetizing, which suits my appetite."
Le Yu looked at Zu Ci Sun Xiao in front of her lightly, and then looked at the embarrassment of the mother and daughter in the second room, and smiled softly.
Gu sat silently in her seat and didn't speak, as long as she was in Heningtang, she was always like this, trying not to make the old lady unhappy, finding an excuse to reprimand, and making her husband embarrassed.
Sitting silently, a petite and warm hand quietly reached in the wide sleeve, and gently held his slightly cold hand.
After coming out of Hening Hall, the mother and daughter in the second room left with ugly faces, and Le Xian held Le Yu's hand with a smile, "Fourth sister, I got a few boxes of jewelry from my grandmother yesterday, you go with me to have a look, if you like it, wait for the Spring Festival banquet to wear it, the third sister and the sixth sister will come together."
Le Yu originally wanted to go to Yaohuaju with the Gu family, Le Xian said this, she also knew that Le Xian was cautious all her life, and finally became suspicious and wanted to test herself.
Yanwu responded in a low voice, and turned around with the two little girls.Le Xian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, it seemed that she was too careful, and then there was a burst of hatred and anger in her heart, the most suitable for this pair of Luan Bu is her eldest daughter, but her father gave it to Le Yu who has not yet reached the end of the year, so partial! In fact, she already knew about this matter yesterday, but now it is a great shame to be said like this and then given to herself!
But Le Xian's scheming is deep and invisible, and Le Yu laughed and walked in front, Le Wan and Le Yan behind it, the four sisters went to Le Xian's Chu Yuyuan.Xiao family covers a very wide area, when the eldest princess of Fuqing and the old lady got married, the Fuqing princess mansion built by the Chongping Emperor ordered the internal affairs government to supervise the construction of the Fuqing princess's mansion, everywhere exquisite and gorgeous, flowers and trees are sparse, flying springs and jade, and also circle a small lake into it, named "Bihu", planted drunk hibiscus, three colors a day, such as a beautiful face white like jade in the morning, such as a drunken beauty at noon, red and beautiful, At dusk, there is a faint touch of red, such as a touch of fragrant cheeks after sobering up the beauty makeup, which is a scene of the famous nobles in the capital.
The courtyard of the Xiao family is bounded by Bihu Lake, about three-quarters of the east is the residence of the old lady and the big house, and the west is the courtyard of the two-room residence and the guest house. The three main rooms of the carved beams and paintings are the main rooms of Le Xian, and the little girls have already seen it, and they shouted: "The girl is back, the girl is back."
