Chapter VI

Yan Zhaohua walked to the main courtyard according to his memory, and the mother-in-law who watched the door saw that it was her, and hurriedly saluted, and went in to pass on Xie to her, Yan Zhaohua did not wait for the mother-in-law to come back, so he walked in directly, so it was unprecedented to walk in directly, although Xie did not say that he would prevent her from entering, but Yan Zhaohua was still very obedient every time, and he had to wait until the mother-in-law passed it before going in.

The mother-in-law replied in the courtyard, and before the people who were waiting in the room came out to reply, Yan Zhaohua had already arrived outside the door, and Hongqu only reacted when he walked here, and said to Yan Zhaohua behind him:

"Miss, why don't we wait in the yard, Mrs. hasn't spoken yet."

Yan Zhaohua just didn't hear it, and continued to take two steps forward, but suddenly stopped, pulled off a green snow hairpin on his wrist, and tiptoed it into the single screw bun on Hongqu's head, Hongqu held something in his hand, and couldn't do it, he only knew that the things given by the eldest lady were very valuable, and he said:

"Miss, this ......" suddenly gave her something for no reason, why is this?

Yan Zhaohua smiled and replied: "It's not good for you in Qingque House, I always think that you must look good wearing this, and when I see my wife for a while, I can't let my wife feel that I treat you badly." ”

Hongqu blushed and whispered: "Where did Miss say, it is Hongqu's blessing to be able to serve by Miss's side, where do you dare to ask for such a valuable thing as Miss, go back later, and the slave will wipe it clean and return it to Miss." ”

In his heart, he concluded the meaning of Yan Zhaohua's words, and he must have wanted to give her something, but Qingzhu was staring at her, she was not good at giving, so she could only give it to his wife, and after she went back, she could still deduce that she was rewarded, and if she did this, the young lady would not have to offend people. She can also show in front of her wife that she reuses the people her wife gave her...... Hongqu thought so in his heart.

It's not that Hongqu has a big heart, but this kind of thing has actually happened before, the eldest lady thinks that her shuttlecock is good-looking, and wants her to teach her to kick the shuttlecock, at that time, because the green bamboo and dyed incense are there, the eldest lady doesn't want them to talk more, so she personally sent something to her room at night, so this time, Hongqu naturally will not doubt the truth of what Yan Zhaohua said before, and happily accept this hairpin that she has coveted for a long time.

After passing the doorkeeper's mother-in-law, he walked directly up to the steps and lifted the curtain with his own hands, and after the curtain walked out a grandmother wearing a dark green bijia, her hair was meticulously combed, this is Wang Gui's family, usually in the main courtyard with the caretaker, no real power, all relying on a fierce appearance, so that the timid dare not provoke.

Wang Guijia saw Yan Zhaohua's outstretched hand, bent his knees slightly, and said perfunctorily: "The eldest lady is so impatient, Mrs. is changing clothes, you should wait outside." ”

Yan Zhaohua glanced at her, didn't want to talk nonsense with her, and said after sneering:

"Anything dares to stop me, get out of the way!"

Yan Zhaohua's obedience to the Xie family in the past does not mean that she has a good temper, it can even be said that her temper is quite bad, and she is known as irritable and reckless, but she was accepted by the Xie family to tolerate and obey in every possible way, but for others, she is not so good.

Zhao Mama Xu is not the first time to be scolded by Yan Zhaohua, obviously she doesn't take it to heart, still stopped outside the cotton curtain, although this eldest lady is full of momentum, but in the final analysis, it is a paper paste, Mrs. is used to her on the surface, but in fact, no one in the house knows that this eldest lady is actually nothing, and in the future, she will be in the hands of her wife, and what is the use of having a big temper now.

After such a fight, the back-grain cotton curtain was opened from the inside again, and a middle-aged daughter-in-law came out, this is the daughter-in-law of the housekeeper next to the Xie family, that is, the wife of the chief steward Zhang Ping, Wang, he and his wife are the two of Xie's one outside, one is inside, Zhang Ping is in charge of the affairs outside the house, and the Wang family is in charge of the size of the Xie's courtyard.

Seeing Yan Zhaohua, he hurriedly greeted him and said with a smile: "Yo, it's really the eldest lady who is here, these dog minions who are not long-eyed, anyone dares to stop them, don't retreat quickly, block the way of the eldest lady, Mrs. is the only one you ask." After saying so lightly to Mama Zhao, who was there, Wang changed his face to Yan Zhaohua again, opened the curtain for Yan Zhaohua affectionately, and invited Yan Zhaohua to enter.

The layout of the main courtyard still maintains the same as when Xie Wei was alive, and she has not moved any directions, which is also where Xie Wei is powerful, she can live in the courtyard that is completely Xie Wei's preference for so many years without moving anywhere, showing XiΓ n's complete respect for the former lady, this scheming and endurance are really not to be underestimated.

Under the leadership of the Wang family, Yan Zhaohua passed through the summer and went to the inner room, Xie walked out from behind the screen, and his body really seemed to have changed into a pair of clothes, it was a Yunyan fine brocade gown, and the outer head was covered with a clip collar with gold silk and white lines.

Wang waited for Yan Zhaohua to take off his cloak and handed it to the little maid who was waiting on the side, Xie came over and took Yan Zhaohua's hand, sat down and said:

"Why didn't you run over before you got well?"

As always, Yan Zhaohua responded with a smile: "I made two snacks in the small kitchen, and they were still hot, so I wanted to use them to make amends to my wife." ”

Xie Shi's eyes moved, but his face did not change and said:

"What reparations, where you said, I don't remember where you offended me."

Yan Zhaohua sneered in her heart, she didn't believe that Yan Zhaoning didn't have a cheap deal with her earlier, but now Xie Shi pretended to be fine, and he must have had a trick. The same silent reply:

"Where is the offense to the wife, if you really offend the wife, it's a big deal to let the wife beat me twice, but I offended the third sister, the third sister is a delicate person, I think about it and feel that I can't go, no, please sin. I hope that my wife has eaten my snacks and can go and say a few kind words to my third sister for me. ”

Xie Shi was silent, Yan Zhaohua was only naΓ―ve, talking to her around the bend, a discerning person knew at a glance that Yan Zhaohua was here to sue, not to apologize, if he really wanted to apologize, just take something and go to Xili Garden, why did he come to Xie Shi.

"Hahaha, ouch, my eldest lady has also grown up and knows how to coax people. Zhaoning is that spicy temperament, no matter how she says it, she can't change it, she is also ignorant, she should apologize if she wants to apologize, how can she let you run away. ”

Xie Shi pinched Yan Zhaohua's hand and patted it, the relationship between the two seemed to be a lot closer, Yan Zhaohua also talked to her about the pain of the past few days, Xie Shi listened perfunctorily at all, and after listening to a few words, he listened to the mother-in-law outside to pass the word, saying that the porter was back, and the Hou Ye was back, and he was coming to the main courtyard.

After the mother-in-law finished replying, Changning Hou Yanxiu had already lifted the curtain and came in.

Xie Shi hurriedly got up and stepped forward, that posture and appearance, not at all like the appearance of an old husband and wife for more than ten years, Xie Shi has always maintained his appearance and figure, no matter how many people come in and out of the house, Yan Xiu is still quite affectionate to her, and he will always spend most of his time in her room every month.

Yan Xiu is a Wenchen in his early forties, five generations of knights, never demoted, it can be seen that Changning Houfu Jian is in the emperor's heart, Yan Xiu himself is elegant, courteous, well-maintained, he looks only in his early thirties, quite a Jin and Wei style, chic and dignified scribe style, narrow phoenix eyes, plus a slightly mature mustache, let him have a little more charm of a middle-aged man.

Xie stepped forward to take the official hat in Yan Xiu's hand, personally held it and put it aside, Yan Xiu saw that Yan Zhaohua was also there, rubbed his hands to ward off the cold, walked over and waited for Yan Zhaohua to salute, he smiled and helped her up, and said:

"It's not good to rest on such a cold day, what are you doing here, this disease is just right."

Compared with the harshness of his son Yan Ruiqian, Yan Xiu is more pampered with other children, and everything in the house is handed over to the Xie family to take care of on weekdays, which is also for the sake of the Xie family's not treating their children harshly, Yan Zhaohua saw his father again, and had mixed feelings in his heart, I have to say that she can live safely to the age of thirteen or fourteen in the hands of the Xie family, Yan Xiu's father is indispensable, because he takes a fancy to his children, so the Xie family can't and dare not openly treat her and Brother Qian, if that's the case, the Xie family will not be able to gain a foothold in the Yan family, but it is just the past few years, After a few years, the foundation of the Xie family was solid, and he began to attack Yan Zhaohua and Yan Ruiqian openly and secretly, because two years later, Yan Xiu was going to change from literature to martial arts, leaving the capital to lead troops to the northwest to be a supervisor, and the true face of the Xie family began to be revealed at that time.

Yan Zhaohua stood up with Yan Xiu's hand, the long-lost warmth moved his heart and lungs, and personally helped Yan Xiu to sit down, but Yan Xiu was surprised, and quipped: "Yo, what kind of wind is blowing today, so that your wild son is also put away?" ”

"Where my father spoke, I am a wild son. Didn't my wife sue me like this in front of you? Xie finished putting down his official hat, and when he came over, he heard Yan Zhaohua say this, and reached out to pinch Yan Zhaohua's cheek, Yan Xiu was also happy to see them so harmonious.

looked left and right, and said: "Those who eat and drink, I have been standing outside the Qinzheng Hall for a long time today, and my body is so cold that I am going to stiffen." ”

Before Xie Shi could speak, he heard Yan Zhaohua say: "It just so happened that I sent some over, horseshoe cake and chestnut cake, and a jar of ginger tea on the copper stove, does my father want to eat some of it?" ”

Hearing that there was hot ginger tea to drink, Yan Xiu immediately nodded and asked him to bring it up, only to see that Xie's face changed slightly, but he quickly covered it up.

Yan Zhaohua beckoned to Hongqu, Hongqu came over with something, and according to Yan Zhaohua's instructions, put the jade tray on the table, Yan Xiu looked at this set of valuable things, his eyes moved, looked at Yan Zhaohua, and said:

"This is your artifact of choice? Good eye. Come, use this unicorn bowl to bring me a bowl of ginger tea. ”

Yan Zhaohua gestured to Hongqu, Hongqu poured tea on the side in a regular manner, Hongqu was white, and when he held a red unicorn beast bowl on his fingers, he looked particularly soft, Yan Xiu originally didn't notice the storage of this maid, until he took the tea bowl from her hand, he found that this maid's hand was good, very beautiful, took a sip of ginger tea, and looked up at her, not the top of the beautiful skin, better than young and energetic, such a mature body is the most tight and seductive, I can't help but look at it twice.

Hongqu also noticed Yan Xiu's gaze, his face was blushing as if he was something, and his heart was pounding.

Of course, this scene was also seen by Yan Zhaohua and Xie Shi on the side, and the corners of Yan Zhaohua's mouth showed an imperceptible sneer, and Xie Shi's face turned completely blue.

Yan Zhaohua watched Xie Shi's face change, and knew that the nail of Hongqu was pierced into Xie's heart. Don't blame the others, if you want to blame it, blame Yan Xiu for being too romantic, although it is not obscene, but if it just makes Xie suspicious, this kind of Cheng dΓΉ is enough.

Since Xie wants to plant a nail next to her, then she always has to let this nail play her best, doesn't she?
