Chapter 62

Xie's funeral was completed, three months later, the mourning hall was over, and some relatives in five suits could come to the house to take off their filial piety, and the Xie family's spokesperson held a thank-you banquet.

Mrs. Geng pulled Yan Zhaohua to sit beside her, and said distressedly:

"Oh, look at this little face, how thin they have become, they all say that stepmother is not as good as a biological mother, I envy the Xie family's sister for having such a good daughter as you."

In the flower hall, Geng took Yan Zhaohua's hand and said, the ladies next to him also looked at Yan Zhaohua's filial piety these days, although the world is quite prejudiced against the widow's daughter, but because of her filial piety, everyone can also see the character.

"If you want me to say, the two girls of the Yan family are good, it can be seen that Sister Xie has taught well, alas, I knew that she had such means, we didn't learn before, and now it's a pity."

It was the wife of the waiter of the Ministry of Rites who spoke, although her official position was not high, but this lady was born in Bofu, and after she got married, she was the wife of the third grade, so although it was a little inappropriate for her to say this on such an occasion, no one dared to say anything about her.

Geng smiled, his eyes always fell on Yan Zhaohua's body, Yan Zhaoning walked over from the side, and bowed generously to the ladies, with a dignified demeanor and a haggard expression, she was originally sitting with Yan Zhaohua, and then was called by Mrs. Ren Enbo and Mrs. Pingninghou to talk for a while, and then came over to follow Yan Zhaohua.

She sat behind Yan Zhaohua, whispered 'sister', and then lowered her head and did it, Mrs. Shilang looked at Yan Zhaohua and Yan Zhaoning, and couldn't help but say:

"I heard that the Xie family is a beauty before, and look at these two young ladies, they are equally beautiful."

Mrs. Shilang's words made all the ladies present nod approvingly, Geng grabbed Yan Zhaohua's hand, and said with a smile: "Yes, who said it wasn't!" Such a lovely person, what is even more rare is that there is this filial piety, every time I come back, I see them kneeling in front of the mourning hall, and they dare not slack off, I see it, my heart is going to hurt to death. ”

Geng's attitude towards Yan Zhaohua seems to be a little over-enthusiastic, Yan Zhaohua himself feels it, his big eyes flickered, he lowered his eyelids, and lowered his head in embarrassment, she didn't know what Geng wanted to do, she just hoped that she didn't fall in love with her, she remembered that there seemed to be a son who was one year older than her in the Weiwu Hou family, and this Geng family wouldn't use his brains to get here.

And in fact, Geng's really has this heart, since the last time Yan Zhaohua came to the door with Changning Houyan to thank her, Geng felt that this little girl was both beautiful and sensible, and it was rare to be born, her father was Changning Hou, and now she is fighting outside, if she wins, the status of Changning Houfu will naturally rise, even if Changning Houfu loses, then the Xie family is also behind this child, how Xie Wei, the eldest daughter of the Xie family, was favored in Dingguo Mansion, this is a little more seniority people remember, Although Xie Wei passed away, she left a pair of children, and the Duchess praised the eldest granddaughter wherever she went, which shows that this child has an extraordinary status in the heart of the old lady, such an identity, coupled with her own conduct, is very good in the conditions, and it is inevitable that she will think like this.

In Geng's opinion, the best thing is that Changning Hou has not yet returned from the expedition, the child is fostered in the Dingguo Mansion, and it looks like a host under the fence, she is interested in her at this time, even if she is seen, she will not feel that she is climbing a high branch, if a girl with such an identity can marry her son, it is equivalent to the support of the Xie Yan family behind it.

Yan Zhaohua was silent, just didn't understand anything, anyway, Geng's most now is just thinking about it, she has just lost her mother, and there are still three years of filial piety to keep, she is interested in her, and she has to wait until the three-year filial piety period expires before she can put it forward, at that time Yan Zhaohua will not be as bottomless as now.

Yan Zhaoning only sat for a while, and then was called over by a few young ladies to accompany him, those were all a little friendly with Yan Zhaoning, some had done poems together, some had enjoyed the flowers together, and some had stepped on the green together, Yan Zhaoning seemed to have the courage of the daughter of the Hou Mansion, and actually asked for a separate place with the Liu family to entertain her friends.

During the period of filial piety, you can't feast and dance, eat meat and drink, this is the rule of filial piety, so after everyone is seated, Yan Zhaohua will be polite and retire, ready to listen to Yuxuan to rest.

Dye Xiang Qingzhu They were all arranged to serve at the banquet, there was no one in Yuxuan, Yan Zhaohua was about to go upstairs, when he heard Dye Xiang call her, Yan Zhaohua turned around and saw Dye Xiang walking over with a food box in his hand, and said to Yan Zhaohua:

"Miss, the slave is looking for you, I thought you were ahead."

Yan Zhaohua knew that she was bringing food to herself, as if she was trotting all the way over, with beads of sweat on her forehead, Yan Zhaohua took the food box, wiped the sweat with a handkerchief, and said, "I'll carry it myself, if you have something in front of you, go and get busy first." ”

Since they are now living with her in the Dingguo Mansion, then there is something in the Guogong Mansion, they naturally want to help, Yan Zhaohua didn't feel that he needed to serve anyway, he walked up to the second floor with a food box, put the food box on the soft couch table near the window, opened the window, sat cross-legged on the soft couch, opened the food box, and took out the three green vegetarian dishes inside, fried lily with lettuce, stir-fried celery and a cold cucumber, plus a bowl of hot white rice.

Yan Zhaohua took a bite of lettuce and ate it, and then suddenly remembered something, put down the chopsticks, walked to the inner room, and touched under the futon on the bed for a long time before taking out the book of 'Awakening Marriage', and then turned the book to the place where he had folded it last night while walking.

This book is so good-looking, there are three volumes, because of Xie's posthumous affairs, Yan Zhaohua has not finished reading it until now, no, I am a little disgusted, so I can't wait to take it out and continue to read, I only read a few pages last night, I was too tired to fall asleep, and now there is no one, she can also steal for a while.

Holding his beloved book, Yan Zhaohua climbed onto the soft couch again, sat cross-legged, put the book next to the rice bowl, pressed it left and right, and then absentmindedly ate the dishes with his right hand.

The more I ate the rice, the colder it became, and finally I simply stopped eating, and was about to put down the chopsticks, when I heard a voice suddenly sound behind me:

"It's so good-looking, you can't even eat?"

Yan Zhaohua was taken aback, and subconsciously closed the book and hid it under the skirt, she was in the period of filial piety, according to reason, a qiē entertainment activity can not be had, if someone sees her reading the book, her hard work these days will be really in vain, but suddenly I think about it and feel wrong, her room ...... Someone?

When I looked back suddenly, I saw a handsome boy leaning on the railing of the upper floor, holding his chest with his hands, and I don't know how long he looked behind her, it was actually Pei Xuan!

He is wearing a black bamboo robe, as beautiful as a pine, not to mention his appearance, it is not easy for the whole capital to find a man who is better looking than him, but his behavior makes it really difficult for Yan Zhaohua to have a good impression of such a stunning and beautiful man as him, no, the Liang Zi in front has not disappeared, he actually appeared in a grand manner, and this time he still appeared in her boudoir very arrogantly.

Pei Xuan's eyes had already swept her up and down, and when he looked at her appearance in the mourning hall from a distance, he just felt that she had lost some weight, but he didn't expect that when he looked closely, he was actually thin like this, and the big eyes were pitiful, like a rabbit that had not eaten enough, with only fur and no meat.

"Why are you staring at me? Do I have a scab on my face? ”

Pei Xuan didn't intend to be polite to her at all, and walked straight in from the side of the stairs, sitting on the soft couch opposite Yan Zhaohua, looking at Yan Zhaohua, and looking at the food on the table that had barely moved.

Yan Zhaohua also didn't expect this person to be so rude, and after taking a deep breath, he said, "You, how did you get in?" ”

Pei Xuan stretched out his hands, pointed to the stairs, and said, "I walked in." He said it as a matter of course, as if what he was doing now was as normal as eating and drinking.

But Zhao Hua was not calm, and said in a deep voice: "This is my boudoir, don't you know?" ”

Pei Xuan bent down, approached the plate on the table and looked at it carefully, and then glanced at the wound on Yan Zhaohua's chin at this angle, and then sat up straight, nodding and replying with a scoundrel:

"I know. If there is no one guarding outside, I will come in, and if there is someone guarding it, I will not come in. ”

Yan Zhaohua was angry, he clearly used the words she said to her when she was caught reading idle books in class that day, and was about to stay, but he shouted to stop her and said, "Hey, wait." ”

Yan Zhaohua stopped his movements and looked back at him, and saw that his hand was actually stretched out in front of him, so he hurriedly stepped back and said angrily: "What are you doing?" Don't think that there is no one in my yard, you can do whatever you want, I, I can call people. "It's just a good idea, and it doesn't do Yan Zhaohua any benefit to shouting people, so when she says it, she is a little weak-hearted, and her confidence is not enough.

Pei Xuan also seemed to see this, supporting his chin with one hand, and his deep and good-looking eyes stared at her so directly, as if he was saying, 'Shout, if you have the ability, you shout'.

Just when Yan Zhaohua was about to rush out of the door, Pei Xuancai opened his mouth and said: "There are rice grains on the corners of your mouth, who is so rare as to touch you." ”

Yan Zhaohua only reached out and touched his face this time, but where did he touch what Pei Xuan said, and realized that he had been deceived again, Yan Zhaohua jumped off the bed in anger and shouted to Pei Xuan: "Pei Xuan, are you sick?" ”

Unexpectedly, Pei Xuan was also a hob meat, and immediately replied as a scoundrel: "I am sick, and everyone in the capital knows about it." ”
