Chapter 522: Reunion Dinner
Seeing He's eagerness to share gossip with his daughter, Qiao Zhao asked with a lot of face: "Which family does grandmother fancy for the eldest sister?"
"A family surnamed Zhao in the suburbs of Beijing has been cultivating and reading heirlooms for generations, but there is a rule, it seems that the children of the family are not allowed to go out. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info Your grandmother has an old sister's daughter who married into that family, and she has a good life, and this time it was the aunt who pulled the thread. He sighed and muttered, "I think it's pretty good, too." ”
It's a pity that the world is blind and thinks her notoriety is not good, otherwise it would be very worry-free to marry someone like that.
Although the He family has no city government, he will not say such words in front of Qiao Zhao, so he can only be silently sad.
Qiao Zhao was exquisite, and he sensed the regret in He's words, and took He's arm and smiled: "Is my mother still happy now?"
He really diverted his attention and said with a smile: "It's not a shame for a long time, my mother can eat three bowls of rice at a time now." ”
"I can't eat too much, so I'd better eat two bowls. ”
The mother and daughter laughed and entered the West Cross Courtyard.
The east courtyard was quiet, Li Jiao sat in front of the embroidery frame in front of the window, pinching the embroidery needle and hearing the laughter, and prick his fingers with blood beads in distraught.
She put the embroidery needle on the embroidery frame casually, held the bleeding finger in her mouth, and shouted after a while: "Xing'er, why is it so noisy outside?"
Li Jiao's personal maids were originally Chunfang and Qiulu, since she made a mistake, Mrs. Deng sent two big maids in a fit of anger and replaced them with two honest maids, one called Xing'er and the other called Xiao Tao.
Xing'er walked in quickly and replied, "It's the third girl who is back, and my wife accompanied the third girl to the West Cross Courtyard." ”
"Li San is back?" Li Jiao muttered, a haze rising between his brows.
She closed her eyes, and the laughter in her ears seemed clearer.
What are Li San and his stepmother laughing at?
Hmph, she must be laughing at her for marrying a broken household next year.
Li Jiao couldn't help but think of the scene when Mrs. Deng tested her about this family business.
What did she say at the time?
She smiled and nodded, saying that as long as it was arranged by her grandmother, it would be fine.
Only then did my grandmother relent, and from then on, she began to acquiesce to her going to Qingsong Hall to ask for peace.
They thought she was very satisfied with this family business, but they thought that she had a bad reputation and that it would be good to be able to marry.
But why? Her mother was also a girl from Bofu, and her father was a noble Hanlin cultivator, if it weren't for her mother's early death, how could she have been reduced to marrying a family of Zhuang families?
And Li San-
She can still get married, but what about Li San, who has such a reputation, she can only be an old girl in Loei for a lifetime, why laugh at her?
The more Li Jiao thought about it, the more he hated, and with a stroke of his long nails, the half-embroidered mandarin duck water pillow towel was destroyed.
"Girl—" Apricot was taken aback.
Li Jiao glanced at her and said coldly: "Remove the embroidered cloth and wait for me to comb my hair." ”
Li San is back, the house is definitely going to have a reunion dinner, she has been doing well recently, and she will have the opportunity to attend at that time.
She wanted to see what happened to Li San.
Qiao Zhao returned to the West Cross Courtyard, and He commanded the maid to boil hot water for her to bathe.
It wasn't until his whole body was soaked in the bath tub dripping with rose fragrance that Qiao Zhao felt a sense of authenticity back home.
After going through so much, she really returned to the capital.
Qiao Zhao slowly sank his body, his long hair spreading out in the water like algae.
The steaming water was very comfortable, Qiao Zhao closed his eyes, worried about Shao Mingyuan's entry into the palace to face the saint.
This time, the human and material evidence is complete, Shao Mingyuan brought Xing Wuyang back, and there should be no more accidents.
It's a pity that she can't see those in the open.
and my brother, I must miss her very much, and I don't know if I stayed in the general's mansion to clear it, and if my younger sister was naughty at night......
Qiao Zhao thought far away, immersed in the bathtub as if asleep, and heard He's voice outside the door: "Zhaozhao, have you washed it?"
Qiao Zhao came back to his senses: "Wash it, I'll come out." ”
Wrapped tightly and returned to the house, He took the horn comb handed over by the maid and combed Qiao Zhao's hair personally.
"Mother, don't be busy, it's inconvenient now. ”
He pursed his lips and smiled: "Mother can't do heavy work now, it's okay to comb your hair." Zhaozhao, you come back safely, your mother's heart can be put down, and we won't go anywhere in the future, just stay by my mother's side. ”
"Okay, I won't go anywhere in the future, I'll accompany you. ”
If she could, she also wanted to be Li Zhao quietly.
The reunion dinner was placed in the flower hall of Qingsong Hall, and Mrs. Deng specially ordered someone to go to Guozijian to call Li Hui back, and Li Jiao also walked out of the door as she wished.
"I haven't seen you for a few months, and the third sister has been reduced. Li Jiao smiled and picked up the hot rice wine to salute Qiao Zhao, "The third sister is out of the house, and the family has always been worried about you." ”
"Thank you, big sister, for your concern. Qiao Zhao replied, and his attitude was not warm.
Li Jiao squeezed the cup tightly, bit her lower lip out a trace, and said softly: "Third sister, are you still blaming me?"
She mistakenly broke into the Qinglou and injured Uncle Changchun's young son, and the matter of relying on Qiao Zhao's head was well known to those present, and they understood where these words came from.
Qiao Zhao smiled and asked Li Jiao lightly, "Eldest sister must discuss this with me today?"
She knew Li Jiao's intentions.
mentioned this matter in a aggrieved posture in front of all the masters in Xifu, which seemed to be apologizing to her, but in fact forced her to say words of forgiveness in person.
If she says forgiveness, the incident will be over, and if she is dissatisfied with it in the future, she will hold on to it.
If she doesn't show forgiveness, she's narrow-minded and can't tolerate anyone.
On this trip to the south, she has killed more than one, and then returned to the inner house, where is she still patient with these verbal battles.
Qiao Zhao avoided answering, and a rhetorical question made Li Jiao hesitate.
Old Madam Deng had already spoken: "Okay, it's rare to have a reunion dinner, don't talk about what you don't have." ”
Li Jiao lowered her head: "It's the granddaughter who can't speak, don't blame the grandmother." ”
Her hand clenched in her sleeve tightly, and her palm hurt.
are all granddaughters who have lost their reputation, she is now like a mouse who can't see the light of day, carefully pleasing her grandmother who is the master of the house, but Li San lives arbitrarily and becomes the treasure of the whole family.
Why!
Li Jiao's hand was forced, and he accidentally broke his nails.
The pain came, and her face changed slightly.
Li Hui, who was sitting next to Li Jiao, asked in a low voice, "What's wrong, eldest sister?"
Li Jiao slowly squeezed out a smile: "It's nothing, I haven't eaten with you for a long time, I'm a little excited." ”
Li Hui's lips moved, and he sighed softly.
There were braziers in the four corners of the flower hall, the room was warm, and after a meal, the tip of Qiao Zhao's nose was sweating.
At this time, the eldest maid Qingyun opened the cotton curtain and came in and said, "Old lady, someone has come to the palace." ”
