Chapter 133: The Lady of the High Gate
The other is wearing an apricot yellow embroidered dress, fifteen or sixteen years old, with a light figure, a quiet demeanor, a melon seed face, red phoenix eyes, looking forward to brilliance, and a bright ** person. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Compared with the girl in the lotus dress, her appearance is more gorgeous, more direct, and more ...... Familiar.
The three of them all looked over when they heard the movement, and Qiu Shi smiled first: "Our distinguished guest is here!"
He said, "I told the girls that I met a wonderful person not long ago, and they didn't believe it, so they had to wait to see him. Come on, come on, I'll introduce you!
"This is the Miss Shen I told you about. This is the girl Ning in our Xifu—" She pointed to the one in the lotus colored robe.
Qiu's attitude today was much more enthusiastic than that day, but this was expected by Shen Xi.
She has a use value in the Qiu family, how can she not give three points of face?
Here I heard that the person in front of her was the legendary Han Ning girl, so she looked at it fixedly.
Han Ning smiled and bowed, generous, and her eyes were steady, but she really deserved her name and deserved to be a lady for everyone.
"Miss Ning. She bowed slightly.
Everyone is a lady of the official household, even if his Han family is powerful, she doesn't have to lower her waist like others.
Han Ning looked at her twice with a smile, and here the Qiu clan led Shen Xi to the yellow-clothed girl on the side.
Speaking of this, her tone also added a little solemnity: "This is our family's Miss Cousin, the pearl of our old lady and aunt's wife, and her name is a beautiful character." ”
Shen Xi knew that Wen Chan's youngest daughter was married to a family surnamed Song. Then he said to Song Jiao: "Miss Jiao." ”
This beautiful girl, she called a little meaningful.
Song Jiao and Wen Chan look like each other by seven or eight points, and at first glance, she has some illusions that have not slipped away for decades.
In addition to the similar face, Xu is the same guest house, and even the self-restraint in her demeanor is very similar to Wen Chan's posture when she was in the Zhang family.
So she felt very familiar with this Song Jiao.
Song Jiao also returned the salute meticulously, as for Han Ning's down-and-out generosity, she was more often quietly paying attention to everything around her.
Shen Xi's gaze slid over her hands, and she paused, and found that these hands were not as delicate as the average daughter, white was white, but slightly thicker, as if she had practiced martial arts all year round, and had never held a needle and thread.
She has seen many women from Tuoba families practice martial arts, not to mention that the Song family is also a military general who switched to the imperial examination, so it is not surprising that their young lady will have a few hands of self-defense.
"You are Miss Shen, and the incense that the second sister-in-law gave to the old lady was made by you?"
At this time, a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl in red came out from under the wisteria trellis.
Like Han Ning, she also has a goose egg face, a rice-sized cinnabar mole between her eyebrows, lined with her delicate and silky voice, showing a bit of coquettishness.
Han Ning smiled and said, "This is the sister-in-law, let's spoil us, Miss Shen is not surprised." He added: "Sister Min, you can't be unruly." ”
Han Min stuck out his tongue and grimaced, but his unconvinced gaze still fell on Shen Xi's face.
But Shen Xi didn't care. She smiled: "Miss Min advises a lot. ”
Han Min saw that she was not annoyed or embarrassed, she was generous and calm, and she looked more comfortable than Han Ning, so her brows furrowed again.
"We sat in the house. Qiu Shi greeted.
Han Ning pulled Han Min up and said to Song Jiao: "The second sister-in-law and Miss Shen have something to say, let's go to the old lady first." ”
Her voice is soft and waxy, very nice.
Song Jiao nodded.
Shen Xi had a little bit of a bottom about these two girls, and when he heard that they were going to Wen Chan, his heart moved slightly.
Then he nodded at Han Ning and said, "Last time I came to your mansion, I couldn't ask the old lady to say goodbye, and today Shen Xi also brought two boxes of newly made incense, please Miss Ning come here to say hello." ”
As she spoke, she took the incense box from the pearl's hand.
She should also meet Wen Chan, how to meet her has no bottom, but the girls of the Han family in front of her may be a bridge.
Han Ning saw that her previous attitude was polite but neither humble nor arrogant, so she nodded secretly, and now she took the initiative to mention that she would say hello on her behalf, and she was even more confused.
You must know that there are almost no official ladies of her level who can deal with her so confidently.
She took it with a smile and nodded.
Shen Xi watched them leave, and then entered the flower hall where they met that day under the guidance of the Qiu family.
When Shen Xi left the house, Xiao Huai had already arrived at Qionghuatai.
Seeing that it was still early, he didn't say anything.
By the time half an hour had passed, Shen Xi had already been served tea on the Qiu family's side, and he couldn't help but look at the sky outside in the attic of Qionghuatai.
Su Yan walked in: "Young master, Miss Shen sent someone to pass the word to Liu Ling, saying that Miss Shen had something to delay, and she would arrive later." ”
Xiao Huai looked ahead for a moment, lowered his eyes, and didn't say anything.
Qiu Shi and the other maids gathered all the tea and fruits, and then sat down, and said with a smile: "I originally wanted to invite the girl to come and sit down, but I didn't know that someone from the Ministry of Rites came to the door to propose marriage to Miss Jiao recently, and the old lady handed it to me again, so it was delayed." ”
Speaking of this, she leaned over Shen Xi slightly, and said with a smile: "I tried the incense and rouge you brought last time, and it turned out to be very good."
So I tried it on for our old lady again, and I didn't want the old lady to love it. There are really not many people who can get the blue eyes of our old lady, and the girl is really blessed. ”
Now that the Helian people are unlucky, Wen Chan has the opportunity to pretend to be a noble lady from a family in the Great Zhou Dynasty.
She, a serious and famous lady, made a incense for her to use, but said that it was someone else's blessing.
Shen Xi smiled with a spring breeze on his face: "The shoddy things were just brought by grandma for guidance, and I didn't want grandma to show love, so I actually presented them to the old lady, which I really called ugly." ”
Qiu smiled and asked her for tea, and looked at her quietly again before taking another longan and peeling it in his hand.
This slow and unhurried look, I don't know what I'm thinking.
But Shen Xi was sure that she specially invited her over today, instead of sending someone directly to Shen's house to ask her for incense, there must be something else.
Therefore, he also sipped tea quietly.
Sure enough, after peeling off two longans, Qiu Shi looked at it with a smile again, took the wet handkerchief handed by the maid and wiped his hands.
Then he raised his finger coated with scarlet kodan and pointed to the sachet on her wrist, and said: "I see that your work is very chic, and the embroidery is especially good, I wonder if you can please help make two strings of sachets containing ambergris and agarwood?"
At first glance, I knew that this sachet was not used by an old lady, and I didn't know how she was going to use it?
After a slight pause in his heart, Shen Xi said: "This ambergris is used by men a lot, I don't know where grandma wants to use it?"
