Chapter 41: The Mid-Autumn Festival Family Banquet (2)
Zhao Jiayi, who was sitting on her right hand, pushed her with a smile and said softly, "Big sister, my wife called you." Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Zhao Qingyi sighed softly, and then came back to her senses, her cheeks couldn't help but turn crimson, facing her mother, but she still glanced at Xu Xian.
"Yuan Niang, why don't you take your sisters to give a gift to Hou Ye?" Pei Shi said angrily, but his eyes were very soft, and he saw that Xu Xian's expression was not unusual, and he was even more satisfied with this son-in-law. Her daughter is at the age when love first blossoms, and it is normal for her to lose her temper, what she cares about is the attitude of the son-in-law from a noble family towards her daughter's behavior. No matter how bad Yuan Niang is, she is also her only daughter, she grew up spoiled on the top of her heart, except for her, no one can be blamed arbitrarily.
"Yes, Mother. Zhao Qingyi was a little shy, motioned to the women to get up with her eyes, and walked in front of Xu Xian with her head slightly bowed.
Zhao Jiayi looked at this future aunt of the Zhao Mansion with interest, well, her face was white, no wonder she could hook the arrogant Yuan Niang into seven souls and lose six souls.
However, she heard that the Marquis of Changxin's Mansion had long been very ruined, and she didn't know if it was because of this heir who had no talent and could only sit on the face of a powdery face?
Zhao Qingyi stopped three feet away from Xu Xian, her eyes were like autumn water, Ying Yingfu bowed, and said softly: "The little girl Zhao Qingyi has seen Master Hou. ”
Xu Xian looked at her quietly for a moment, she was really good, her eyes were bright, her demeanor was graceful, and her temperament was dozens of times better than that of those women in the house who were scrambling to climb the bed.
But when he saw the affection in her eyes, he suddenly felt bored: it was just a second meeting, why did he have to put on a posture of loving him to the bone? was it because of his appearance, or the identity of the Hou Ye? No matter which one it was, it made him feel bored and superficial.
But it is still necessary to act on the spot, after all, she is the "food" of the Hou Mansion in the future, he smiled and helped her weakly, and said softly: "No need to be polite, this is a family, there is no need to pay attention to these etiquette." ”
Zhao Qingyi's eyes brightened when she heard this, and she couldn't help but look at the picturesque Xu Xian for a moment, and then heard Zhao Linyi's impatient cough, so she smiled slightly, and turned around to introduce her sisters to Xu Xian.
She took turns to introduce it, and Xu Xian only nodded slightly, not caring much. She smiled even more and glanced at Zhao Linyi demonstratively.
Zhao Linyi saw that he didn't even look at him, he was very angry in his heart, and secretly stomped his feet. Everyone sat down, Xu Xian played with the jade pieces in his hands, and pretended to inadvertently take in the reactions of the daughters of the Zhao family.
It seems that the Zhao family is also a place of right and wrong, and so many concubines must be the result of the endless struggle between the master mother and the concubine.
Zhao Er's actions made him very disdainful, he didn't like to follow the rules, he regarded his husband as the sky, like a woman carved out of a mold, but like Zhao Er, who was beautiful and brainless, self-righteous, and acted roughly, he couldn't look down on it, and Zhao Si, who was still small and cowering, couldn't get on the stage at all, and he couldn't help but be very disappointed in these nominal sisters-in-law. However, he seemed to have forgotten someone, and his gaze tilted a little to the left, and happened to meet a pair of curious but somewhat contemptuous eyes......
He raised his eyebrows and looked serious, wanting to shock this girl who looked a little bold, but she didn't look away, but a little smile appeared on her face, and she didn't know whether she was sighing or laughing.
He inexplicably gave birth to a sense of anger, a little maid from a fourth-grade Beijing official, who dared to show him such a look, but when his eyes inadvertently swept to her porcelain-like snow-white neck, he couldn't help but feel ripples in his heart...... However, at the age of only eleven or twelve years old, she already revealed a bit of amazing beauty, and he secretly thought that this girl would definitely be a little more beautiful than Zhao Qingyi after she grew up......
Zhao Jiayi? He remembered.
Zhao Shifeng was reprimanding Zhao Linyi in a low voice, but his face was very kind, and he could see that this daughter was very pleasing to her. Pei Shi was asking Zhao Qingyi to make him tea, but he didn't notice anything unusual here. When he retracted his thoughts, Zhao Qingyi had already walked up to him, offered a cup of exquisite tea cup with both hands, and said with a smile: "Master Hou, please try this West Lake Longjing, this is my second uncle sent someone from Hangzhou to transport it, and it is said to be a first-class good tea." ”
Xu Xian took it with a smile, and said secretly in his heart: This Zhao family's wealth is really true, looking at the color of this tea is tender and green, quite beautiful and sharp, it can also be regarded as a special one in the many categories of West Lake Longjing tea, this kind of thing, in today's Hou Mansion, will not be bought by leisure.
"I'm tired of the eldest lady, it's better to let someone do this kind of thing. He spoke softly and with affection in his eyes. Zhao Qingyi's heart was sweet, was he sympathetic to himself? For a while, his blood surged, and his face was even redder.
Pei Shi saw that the little couple were getting along very well, and he didn't want these concubines to stay in the eyes, so he laughed out loud and said, "After seeing the distinguished guests, you guys will go back to the inner room." Zhao Linyi was a little reluctant, but under Zhao Shifeng's stern eyes, she still let go of the idea of talking back to Pei's family, and reluctantly led into the inner room.
Xu Xian knew that this was a rule and etiquette, so he didn't raise any objections, and just glanced at Zhao San, who was about to lift the curtain and go in, walking at the end. Zhao San also happened to turn around at this time, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he gave him a provocative smile and turned his head to go in.
Xu Xian was stunned, and then the corners of his lips hooked slightly, revealing a smile of unknown meaning. Zhao Qingyi, who was sitting on his right hand, had a heart on him at the moment, and naturally took this change in expression into her eyes, she hurriedly turned around, but only saw the slightly vibrating bead curtain.
She couldn't help but look at her, who did Xu Xian look at, was it the delicate and domineering Zhao Linyi, or the thoughtful Zhao Jiayi? Zhao Weiyi was still young and not a problem.
She turned around, but saw Xu Xian looking at her with heavy eyes, she couldn't help blushing and her heart beating, and the small doubt in her heart disappeared in an instant, maybe he was laughing at his group of sisters who couldn't be on the stage, right?
"I heard that Hou Ye has a good relationship with Lord Huang recently?" Zhao Shifeng asked with a smile, the concubines were all gone, and it was not good to let his daughter pester Hou Ye, so it was better to talk about political affairs with this future uncle.
"Yes, it's okay, father-in-law, you're well-informed. Xu Xian smiled and replied.
Zhao Shifeng was overjoyed by the shouting of the little marquis's father-in-law, although he preferred Erniang, but Yuan Niang was the eldest daughter after all, his first child, and he married so well, he was also a little emotional and excited for a while.
After sighing, he remembered one thing and said with a smile: "I don't know how the prince prepared for the saint's birthday gift, I have a strange stone with the word longevity, which is very auspicious. ”
