Chapter 27: Vigilance
Days passed in a flash. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Soon it was the day when the sisters of the Xu family went to the Chengguo Mansion as guests.
Early this morning, Xu Yujian and Xu Yuchu got up early, and if they wanted to go to someone else's house as a guest, they had to get up early.
After they got dressed, they walked out of Bishui Pavilion, and outside Xu Yuyao, Xu Yuhua and Xu Yurong also happened to go out of their respective courtyards, but they rarely got together.
Out of the importance of this trip to the Chengguo Mansion, not to mention Xu Yuhua and Xu Yurong, even Xu Yuyao, who has already made up and dressed up.
Of course, Xu Yuyao didn't want to dress up nicely to show off, but just expressed her cautious attitude in this way.
Since they met, the five sisters naturally went to Rongshoutang together.
The old lady had already gotten up at this time, and several ladies had also arrived early, seeing Xu Yu and the five people, the old lady and several ladies all looked at their daughters carefully, and when they were sure that there was nothing wrong, they all nodded one after another.
The old lady nodded, "Of course, the Chengguo Mansion is not comparable to our Wuding Marquis Mansion, but since you are the girl of the Wuding Marquis Mansion, of course you can't embarrass the Wuding Marquis Mansion outside." ”
Everyone nodded.
Even Xu Yuhua and Xu Yurong, who had saved some ideas to compete for the limelight earlier, also pressed their original thoughts down.
The breakfast passed in such an atmosphere.
After breakfast, Xu Yu saw that the carriage for several people was ready.
Xu Yuyao took a carriage alone, Xu Yuhua and Xu Yurong took one, Xu Yuchu and Xu Yujian saw one, and each brought two maids.
In the carriage, Xu Yujian chatted with Xu Yuchu while touching the piece of jade she had hidden in her sleeve.
This time, she remembered to bring this jade jue with her.
In any case, since I went to the Chengguo Mansion today, I have to find an opportunity to return this piece of jade.
Not long after, the carriage stopped at the gate of the Chengguo Mansion.
As soon as the five sisters of the Xu family got out of the carriage, they were greeted by the two big maids in front of Xu Huizhen, Diancui and Dyecui.
The two maids first glanced at Xu Yujian, and then led the five of them to walk in with a smile, "A few young ladies are pleased, but the fifth lady has been talking about a few young ladies in the morning......
Soon came to the courtyard bamboo garden where today's birthday star Shen Yining lives.
There are also five girls in the Chengguo Mansion, but except for Shen Yining, the other four girls are not serious concubines.
Compared with the Marquis of Wuding's Mansion, the rules of the Chengguo Mansion are much stricter, and the difference between the concubines is even more obvious, for example, Shen Yining lives alone in the Bamboo Garden, and the other four girls live in a courtyard in twos and twos.
When Xu Yu saw a few people arrive, the five girls from the Chengguo Mansion had already gathered in Zhuyuan.
Seeing that the cousins of the Xu family were coming, Shen Yining immediately smiled and got up to greet him, "A few cousins can be regarded as ...... here."
While talking, he also took advantage of the situation to hold Xu Yuyao's arm, and did not forget to greet Xu Yuyao and a few people.
The gesture is extremely intimate.
The rules of the Chengguo Mansion are strict, the second girl Shen Yiyu and the fifth girl Shen Yirou in the long room, the eldest girl Shen Yiqing in the second room are all concubines, and the third girl Shen Yiying in the fourth room is also from a concubine.
Because of this, Shen Yining is closer to several cousins of the Xu family.
The sisters of the Xu family have also walked around the Chengguo Mansion more or less over the years, and they are not strangers to the girls of the Shen family, and after seeing each other, they sat down and talked.
Xu Yujian was thinking about finding a way to return Yu Jue to Shen Xi later, so he didn't say much until he was named by Shen Yining.
“…… Fifth cousin, why are you talking so little today? Shen Yining leaned over, crossed Xu Yuyao and Xu Yuchu, and patted Xu Yujian's hand lightly.
Because Xu Huizhen has a special preference for Xu Yujian among her five nieces, Shen Yining is also the closest to Xu Yujian among her five cousins.
Xu Yu saw that she was slapped like this, so she first raised her eyebrows, "I'm having a headache and can't get the gift I prepared for your birthday star, don't you want to pick on my ...... later?"
Everyone only thought that Xu Yu was joking, so they all laughed softly.
They are all girls in the boudoir, sisters have a birthday, although how much to say, but will not send anything valuable, most of them are hand-embroidered purses and handkerchiefs and other things.
Since everyone is like this, where is there anything that can't be done?
However, after Xu Yu saw this, the atmosphere in the room became lively for a while.
Xu Yujian also smiled, and then picked up the teacup in front of him.
Tea is her favorite melon slices, Xu Yujian took a sip lightly, and was about to put down the tea cup, but he paused slightly.
Through this action of drinking tea, she suddenly found that Shen Yiqing, the eldest girl of the Shen family, although she had a gentle smile on her face, seemed to be looking at herself and the others with an inquiring gaze.
That gaze ......
Xu Yujian couldn't see through the specific meaning, but one thing was certain, Shen Yiqing had absolutely no kindness towards her sisters.
This made Xu Yujian a little inexplicable.
She, as well as the girls of the Xu family, had not seen Shen Yiqing before, but when they met before, Shen Yiqing was always gentle and friendly, but this time......
Xu Yu was a little vigilant when he saw it.
The Chengguo Mansion has been eventful recently, and even Shen Xi's identity can almost die in the Wuding Marquis Mansion, who knows what terrible things will happen in the Chengguo Mansion?
Xu Yu couldn't guess what Shen Yiqing's abnormality was for, and he couldn't be sure if it had anything to do with what happened to Shen Xi half a month ago, but no matter what, it would always be wrong to be vigilant.
Stay for a while, find an opportunity, and have to remind my sister about them......
Xu Yu thought about it when he saw it.
At this moment, as a sound of footsteps gradually approached, the sound of Xu Huizhen talking to someone came from outside.
“…… The third sister-in-law, it's a child's birthday, where can you be called an aunt so excited......"
Third sister-in-law.
Obviously, with Xu Huizhen, it is the county lord of Anyang.
After Xu Huizhen's voice, another voice sounded gentle but with a refreshing voice, "Fifth brother and sister, this is what you are wrong with being a mother, Sister Ning's tenth birthday is not happy to celebrate, if I have a daughter, I will definitely spoil her......
