22. 022: Coming to meaning
Xia Ruan listened to Zhao's words, so he said in horror: "Xiao family? ”
Zhao looked at Xia Ruan's appearance, and was very satisfied, feeling that even the heavens were helping her.
She felt that Xia Ruan was a little different from the past, and occasionally the look in her eyes was like a pool of stagnant water, unfathomable.
Now it seems that in fact, it's just that this little girl is just pretending to be calm and unwilling to marry into the Xiao family.
But this matter, Xia Ruan can insert the first half of the sentence.
The woman's in-laws, the words of the matchmaker of her parents' orders, as long as she speaks a little in front of the second brother and the second brother and sister, is she afraid that Xia Ruan will not marry into the Xiao family obediently?
"What? Are you afraid of the Xiao family? The Zhao family came closer and tentatively whispered in Xia Ruan's ear, "This third young master of the Xiao family should be in the crowd, do you want to take a look?" ”
Xia Ruan just smiled faintly, and replied softly but firmly, "People who have nothing to do with their niece, what should my niece pay attention to." On the contrary, the eldest aunt should go and take a look, this Xiao family probably has a lot to say, and they want to talk to the eldest aunt. ”
After finishing speaking, Xia Ruan smiled at the Wen family's Yahuan who was standing not far away, and was led into the seat by Yahuan.
Zhao heard the sarcasm in Xia Ruan's words, and dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak, after all, this is the Wen Mansion. After holding it for a long time, Zhao Shi said in a low voice, "Let you be arrogant, there are times when you cry and beg me." ”
The birthday feast of the Wen family's old man, only to see the colorful flowers and shadows in the garden, the lights everywhere reflect each other, and the sound of fine music is noisy from time to time, which is not enough to say this rich scene. Some young ladies who have never seen the world have already widened their eyes and looked around, and everything seems to be a novelty, for fear that they will see it less. Even the Zhao family, who used to go to the Wen Mansion a lot, couldn't help but take a few more glances today.
Xia Ruan didn't pay much attention to these, she had the honor to enter the palace with the Marquis of Pingyang to celebrate the queen's birthday. Everything in the palace is top-notch. Like the things in the palace, these things are colorless, like ordinary playthings, and they are no more ordinary. Her immobile appearance made Mrs. Xun look at it a few more times.
The male guests were accompanied by Master Wen and the children of the clan, and the female relatives were accompanied by Mrs. Xun.
There was a big drama singing on the stage in the distance, and the table was full of delicious food, but Xia Ruan's interest was not raised at all. Despite this, Xia Ruan still couldn't see the clues, and chatted with the young lady next to him with a smile.
"You don't have long eyes, but I'm a bracelet made of good Hetian jade." When the girl said this, her immature face was full of smug smiles, "Today, I will open your eyes, you must know that in the Jiangyin generation of Daodao, only Cuibao Pavilion can make such a thing, and where can other families make such exquisite things." ”
As soon as the girl said Cuibao Pavilion, the people around her were amazed. Because this girl is none other than Wen Ruyan, the fourth lady of the Wen family who had a fight with Xia Qinghe a few days ago.
Xia Ruan glanced at the bracelet on Wen Ruyan's hand but almost laughed, this is also embarrassed to say that it is a good Hetian jade? Whether in terms of color or texture, this bracelet is just an ordinary jade, but this bluffing tone? Xia Ruan began to wonder if this was something made by the Emerald Treasure Pavilion. If it is really a bracelet made by the Emerald Treasure Pavilion, isn't it equivalent to self-destruction of the signboard?
"When will the Emerald Treasure Pavilion make such a bracelet?" The other girl's voice sounded, like a tactful oriole. I saw the girl who said this, with a smile on her pretty face, and her tone was also light, "This kind of jade, Shopkeeper Xue can't look down on it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people around them discussed, whose stupid young lady dared to offend the Wen family? Because this shopkeeper Xue is the owner of Cuibao Pavilion. However, Wen Ruyan was a little anxious, her face turned pale, and her confidence was insufficient, "Miss Xiao Wu, is there anything better?" ”
After Wen Ruyan's reminder, Xia Ruan immediately understood who was coming.
The Xiao family has the fifth lady, Xiao Yichan.
The Xiao family in Dongyang County cannot be called the Xiao family. However, it is only a branch of the Xiao family, called Nanxiao, and the descendant Dongxiao went to Kyoto. Huai'an City also has a branch of Beixiao...... Nan Xiao has actually been regarded as an outcast by Bei Xiao and Dong Xiao now, but he still pretends to be unaware of it everywhere, and he still treats him as his real Xiao family.
Xia Ruan thought about it, in fact, now Nan Xiao is about to really lose. Abandoning literature and following business in Nanxiao, in the eyes of Dongxiao and Beixiao, is nothing more than self-depravity.
This Xiao family is really messy.
"I naturally have a better one, don't believe it." Xiao Yichan rolled up her sleeves, and saw a pair of white jade bracelets on her slender and fair-skinned wrists, with a crystal round jade face and pure color, "This is Kunlun jade, and the shopkeeper Xue personally sent it to the house." ”
The Kunlun jade of the good Lu is comparable to the mutton fat jade, and compared with the ordinary Hetian jade in Wen Ruyan's hand, the color is many times higher.
Xiao Yichan's eyes were somewhat disdainful, with a high-minded smile, as if she was here to find fault.
"Xiao Yichan, what do you mean?" Wen Ruyan couldn't hold back any longer, stood up from the chair, and attracted more people's eyes to gather here at once, "The Xiao family likes to show off so much, for fear that you don't know that your family is rich?" Oh, if you are really rich, why don't you go to the capital, and in this small place in Dongyang County, how much you have been wronged by this young lady. ”
The corners of Xia Ruan's mouth twitched, and the sour taste was too strong. Wen Ruyan dared to say these words, and she didn't know how to comment on this young lady for a while.
This face is nothing more than showing off, but being stepped on. Wen Ruyan didn't use his brain, so he said these words, and he didn't know how to spread the Tao in the future.
The women in the house have nothing to do all day long, and the only thing that can kill time is to chew each other's tongues.
"Yan'er, sit down." Mrs. Xun was unhappy, and she couldn't bear to scold her daughter, so she said to Xiao Yichan, "Fifth Miss, today is my master's birthday, if Fifth Miss feels bored, then go back early." Where the hospitality is not good, I hope that the second master Haihan. "Mrs. Xun's words are nothing more than driving people away.
However, the current Xiao family and the Wen family will not really take it seriously.
It's just that Xia Ruan felt a little strange, wasn't this Xiao family invited by Mrs. Xun? How could this happen?
Xiao Yichan smiled lightly: "What Madam said is that this scene is a little boring. But today I'm here to see my future third sister-in-law, and I don't know where the third lady of the Xia family sits? ”
When Xia Ruan heard this, he chuckled in his heart, the Xiao family's wishful thinking was really good enough.
Xiao Jiu's courtship was a trivial matter, but today it was so troublesome according to Xiao Yichan. The people around her will know that she is going to marry into the Xiao family in the future, so naturally everyone will come to see the jokes, and when they arrive, rumors will spread, ruining her reputation and making her have to marry into the Xiao family.
It turned out that this was the purpose of Xiao Yichan coming here to 'quarrel' with Wen Ruyan.
It's just that this Xiao family can't help but underestimate her a little, and even more underestimate the Wen family.
