CHAPTER XVI

Regarding Yan Zhaoning's active provocation, Yan Zhaohua just smiled and said with a rhetorical smile: "What did my sister send, since I think it is inferior to mine, then why should I send it?" I don't dare to say that the things I send are better than my sister's, but I also put my heart into it. ”

Yan Zhaoning was choked by Yan Zhaohua's words, but he didn't expect his modest words to be ridiculed by Yan Zhaohua, Xie couldn't help it, and then said:

"What's good or bad about the two sisters, no matter what it is, it's all a thought, mother, don't you say?"

Xie smiled like a flower, and said this to Liu, Liu nodded lovingly, and did not say much, only handed back the ginseng tea in his hand to the grandmother who was waiting beside him. Xie glanced at the things in the hands of Dye Xiang and Qingzhu, the gift box was what she asked Yan Zhaohua to send, it contained two wine glasses inlaid with gold and jade, the wine glass was pure gold, inlaid with colorful gems inside and outside, magnificent, it was indeed worth some silver, if this thing was given to other people to put it for viewing, maybe there could be some sayings, but it could be given to the Duchess Liu, it would be a little unsatisfactory.

Xie is naturally not afraid that after Yan Zhaohua sends something, if Liu blames her for not mentioning Yan Zhaohua, she can completely deduce that this is what Sister Hua insists on choosing, after all, her daughter is older and has her own ideas.

As soon as Qiē was already calculated clearly in his stomach, Yan Zhaohua naturally beckoned to Dye Xiang and Qingzhu, and the two maids presented the things respectfully as they had rehearsed, knelt down, raised the things above their heads, and said a few words of congratulations in their mouths, and the Gui Mama beside Liu's side, as well as another Mama who had been sent to greet Yan Zhaohua and them before, came over together, took the gift box in the hands of Dye Xiang and Qingzhu, and brought it to Liu.

Xie Shi was waiting for the order, Liu Shi made a gesture to her, Xie Shi took the order forward, walked to the front of the gift box, reached out and opened the gold-plated lock in the center of the brocade box, the gift box slowly opened, and the smile on Xie's face gradually froze.

As soon as half of the box was opened, Xie Shi slammed it shut again, and looked up just in time to meet Yan Zhaohua's sharp gaze, Xie Shi didn't expect that he would be shocked by the gaze of a little girl, and his panic was spreading.

Liu Shi saw that something was wrong, and asked, "What's the matter, open it halfway?" ”

Although there was no fluctuation in the tone, Liu's puzzled gaze swept directly towards Yan Zhaohua, and saw that her face was calm and her eyes were deep...... Liu was relieved.

Xie Shi turned around, faced Liu's family, his expression was a little embarrassed, the corners of his mouth trembled, and he handed Yan Zhaohua a resentful look, and said: "This, what Sister Hua prepared seems to be wrong, I will ask her to take it back and let someone send it again." ”

As he spoke, he was about to turn around and call someone, but he was stopped by Liu's and said, "What can be wrong?" Sister Hua, you say it yourself. ”

Yan Zhaohua stood up when he was named, not ambiguous at all, and said clearly: "Back to my grandmother, I am not mistaken, what I gave is what is in this gift box." ”

Xie Shi seemed to be a little anxious, and desperately held back his anger and said:

"Don't mess around, this is not a place for children to play."

Yan Zhaohua was fearless and smiled innocently: "What my wife said, no matter how ignorant I am, I won't make a fuss at this time." ”

After saying this, Yan Zhaohua personally walked in front of Mama Gui who was holding the gift box, and without giving Xie a chance to react, he reached out and opened the gift box in Mama Gui's hand, revealing the true face in the gift box, a scroll was reflected in Liu's eyes, Xie was so angry that he gritted his teeth, but he was helpless, Yan Zhaohua took advantage of the situation and opened another gift box, which was also a scroll, but the length seemed to be smaller, but counted, there were as many as four.

Yan Zhaohua picked up the big scroll, Gui Mama immediately put down the empty gift box, and unfolded the scroll with Yan Zhaohua, revealing the contents of the scroll, vivid, the five daughters with good expressions worshiped their birthdays, the stitches were very fine, it can be seen that it was full of effort, Liu glanced at Xie meaningfully, which made Xie's worried heart sink suddenly, and even Gui Mama couldn't help but praise:

"Oh, the eldest lady's embroidery of five daughters is really distinctive, from beginning to end it is all double-needle lead method, and it is not bad for a single needle."

Mama Gui is the grandmother who knows the most about embroidery around Liu, and it must be good to let her say this, Liu's heart feels strange, but she doesn't show it, when Yan Zhaohua put away the large scroll, shouted four maids, and opened the four scrolls in another gift box at the same time, the doubts in Liu's heart are almost answered.

Suddenly, the sharp eyes caught a glimpse of a name in the place where Yan Zhaohua offered the embroidery, Liu's eyes suddenly reddened, stood up from the Luohan bed, walked to the opposite side of the scroll, bent down to look at the payment place, Gui Mama saw that Liu's wanted to see, and hurriedly asked the maid to lift the scroll higher, Liu's only then saw the words at the payment place, and was a little distracted for a while.

Yan Zhaohua was quite grateful in his heart, and said: "Mother's idle word is 'Lishan Immortal', I thought about her when I embroidered, and I couldn't help but fall this paragraph." ”

Liu Shi stretched out her hand and stroked the four embroidered words, listening to Yan Zhaohua's words in her ears, no matter how hard her heart was, she couldn't help but soften, at this moment, she still remembered Sister Wei'er's appearance when she took this idle name, the past is vivid, how can people not be dark.

Holding back the feeling in his heart, Liu Shi took a deep breath, then nodded and said, "Good boy." Then he sat back in his place and said to Mama Gui: "I accepted the congratulatory gift from Sister Hua, this matter is ...... I'll talk about that later. ”

Xie lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, and secretly glanced at Liu's expression, he really didn't know what she meant, although Liu's was emotional, he was not stupid, he just received Sister Ning's embroidery, and now he saw Yan Zhaohua's, and he didn't doubt that there was a ghost in his heart.

The hateful Yan Zhaohua actually gave her such a hand, at this time Xie knew that he had been tricked, but he really couldn't understand how a little girl became so powerful overnight, and seemed to know everything about her next move, knowing that Caixia was her person, and knowing that she refused to give up embroidery...... Touching the door of her reaction to what she did, it was impossible for Caixia to give her the wrong thing, that is to say, Yan Zhaohua had long been on guard against Caixia, and acted on Caixia for two days with a deep heart, and confused Caixia with fake things, and then she guessed that she would not give up, so she asked Caixia to steal fake things and give them to her, and it was really hidden a long time ago.

If these things that Xie Shi guessed really happened, then Xie really had to re-evaluate Yan Zhaohua's ability, and he could actually do such a thing under her nose.

There was a singing outside: "Prince Gong's Mansion has arrived, and he will pay homage to the old lady." ”

As soon as the words Prince Gong's Mansion came out, the hall became lively, especially a few young women and some unmarried girls, who would not have heard of the name of Prince Gong's son Pei Xuan, they all only heard his name, not his people, and he had the opportunity to see it today, so he was naturally happy in his heart.

Pei Xuan came, even the Liu family couldn't slack off, and waved his hand to the Xie family and Yan Zhaohua, asking them to go back to everyone, don't leak the stuffing in front of others, and it is the face of the Dingguo Mansion that will hurt the big trouble.

Yan Zhaohua was calm, and because he was arranged in the back position, he only recalled in his mind at this moment that the wife of the prince of Dingguo Mansion Gu seemed to be Pei Xuan's cousin, which can explain why Prince Gong's Mansion came on purpose, Yan Zhaohua and the Xie family were not close in the previous life, so they only heard about these things, and did not pay attention to them.

Gu and Dingguo Mansion grandson Xie Fan personally led Pei Xuan into the door, Gu is Pei Xuan's cousin, married to Dingguo Mansion as the wife of the prince for some years, the appearance is somewhat similar to Pei Xuan, beautiful and good, but there are still flaws, no more than Pei Xuanshan from the appearance can not find any fault, no need to speak, a face that has brought disaster to the country and the people is enough to attract everyone's attention.

Yan Zhaohua and other unmarried girls stood aside, Yan Zhaohua and Xie Xinrou, the younger girls were all arranged to the back, and the girls standing in front were all girls who could talk about marriage, in this situation, Yan Zhaohua only felt funny, among so many people present, those who are qualified to speak in front of Prince Gong's Mansion will not count more than three with their fingers, Xie Xinrou is counted as one, the eighth lady of Zhenguo Mansion is counted as one, and the little county lord of Rong'an County Mansion is also counted as one, but it is a pity that among these three people, Xie Xinrou is regarded as Pei Xuan's niece, If you want to call Pei Xuan an uncle, the difference in seniority, the eighth lady of the Zhenguo Mansion has already promised someone before, and it is impossible, not to mention that the little county lord of the Rong'an County Mansion has a veil on his face, which is enough in terms of identity, but it is a pity that a face is not strong, from the root of the right ear to the cheek, a birthmark larger than an egg...... But in addition to these three proud daughters of the sky, the rest are about the same identity as Yan Zhaohua, all of them were born in the second-rate Hou Mansion and Bo Mansion, in the eyes of ordinary people, they may be regarded as the daughters of the Hou Sect and the young lady of the family, but when they meet the real royal nobles in power, their identities are worthy of being a side room, a side concubine or something, like this kind of fruitless thing, Yan Zhaohua has never been entangled in the previous life, let alone this life.

Looking around left and right, they found that the eyes of the girls around them all turned into flames of enthusiasm, and if the flames could come true, I was afraid that the curtains in front of them had been burned to ashes.

"The old lady's birthday, gratifying and congratulating, I wish the old lady good health, longevity and longevity, my father is entangled in important matters, I can't come in person, and I hope the old lady understands."

Pei Xuan's voice was quite low, and it was very fitting with his upside-down appearance, like a whisper between lovers, which made people blush and jump when they heard it.

Liu didn't dare to slack off, when it was rumored that Pei Xuan came in, he had already stepped off the pedal, and greeted Pei Xuan in person from behind the cotton curtain, listening to his polite words, his face was happy, Gu's face was radiant and radiant, she was the niece of Princess Gong, and Pei Xuan was a cousin and brother, although the two were different in age, Pei Xuan was his mother's family, and the old lady valued it so much, Gu felt very face.

Gu's conversation is good, good conduct, gentle and generous, Su Ri is already an expert in dealing with family affairs with Liu's side, Liu's is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law, if you talk about identity, Liu's is the duchess of the country, no matter how high Pei Xuan's status is, it is also a junior, Liu's is sitting still, then he is also eligible to receive Pei Xuan's salute, but Liu's politeness, and he also wants to give his daughter-in-law Gu's a little more decency, so he welcomes him.

Pei Xuan is a foreign man, although he is a cousin and brother with Gu, but although he is high, he is still young, and he is unmarried, and there are many ladies who are not out of the cabinet, so he can't sit more according to the etiquette system, Liu and he sit down with the main seat, Xie Fan accompanies Pei Xuan, a cousin called happily, and told Liu for a while about the interesting things in the academy, and the atmosphere was hot, Xie Fan is the eldest son of Xie Yuan, ten years old this year, just before Liu's birthday, Guogong and the prince went to ask for Xie Fan's grandson's knight, Now Xie Fan is a serious person, and his future is needless to say.
