Chapter 7: Cousin Linglong

The sound outside the door is crisp and pleasant, as clear as a warbler out of the valley, which is really refreshing. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Xi Cui looked at Wang Shaoyan, Xi Cui couldn't laugh in her eyes, "Mama Wu, it must be Miss Biao who is here, hurry up and open the door to welcome it." After all, it is our duty to be slaves to deliver medicine, so how can we ask Miss Biao to do it. ”

In fact, there is no need for her to say that Mama Wu is already walking to the door, and Ximei immediately stood by Xi Yunting's hand and helped Xi Yunting add tea.

As the door creaked open, a strong smell of medicine came to the nostrils, and the young lady standing at the door came in with a smile, and Mama Wu took over the medicine bowl. Seeing Xi Yunting, Miss Fushen, "This is my cousin-in-law, right?" My cousin only said that my cousin-in-law was good-looking, but now that I see it, I know that she is such a beautiful woman. After speaking, he glanced at Mama Wu with a smile, and walked over to Wang Shaoyan, "Bring the medicine, my cousin should rest after drinking the medicine......"

Xi Cui stood beside Wang Shaoyan and looked at this young lady, only to see that she was wearing a red embroidered butterfly pattern brocade skirt, wrapped in emerald smoke yarn, embroidered with golden rattan flowers on the lotus waist, and decorated with jade pendants around her waist and embellished with a few tassels, swaying, so charming.

Wang Shaoyan naturally knew the meaning of Xi Cui's smile, and knew in his heart that his relationship with his cousin must have been known by the Hou Mansion, and Xi Cui's appearance must have been specially trained by Mrs. Hou, although he was not very satisfied with the look in his eyes just now, he was also a little comforted. With such a person by Xi Yunting's side, you can rest assured when you can't take care of it.

It is impossible for this cousin to not see Xi Cui's gaze, but this one doesn't seem to have the intention of evading, so she came over to greet Xi Cui, pretending to help Wang Shaoyan get up and separate Xi Cui, "Cousin is very tired today, what do you do when you get up, or as usual, lean on the soft pillow, Linglong will wait for you to drink the medicine and rest." My cousin-in-law has never served anyone on weekdays, and the girls around you must not be used to it, so these things will be exquisite in the future. ”

Xi Cui didn't speak, and walked over to stand beside Xi Yunting, Ximei glanced at her and smiled with disdain. Mama Wu handed over the medicine and stood aside and waited.

Xi Yunting's child's heart is the most protective, seeing Xi Cui being treated like that, how can she sit idly by, she was about to have a seizure, but she was pulled by Xi Cui. Xi Cui pressed her hand, shook her head and said, "It's time for the young lady to eat, the slave will see if there are any girls waiting outside, and ask them to send some food to the house." It just so happened that my uncle's medicine had also been drunk, and I used some to sleep again, I don't know who serves my uncle's daily meals? If Miss Cousin knew, she would have told the slave maid. "Although he is a slave, he also knows some rules, even if Wang Shaoyan is delicate and expensive, it is impossible for him to drink medicine every day, and he is served by someone of Miss Cousin's status, right? This cousin's scheming is really shallow. She knew that Wang Shaoyan was transparent, and her words to him just now also moved her a lot, but he just said that he would not move the people around Miss, could it be that this cousin in his heart had already been decided? If this is the case, then she can only wait and see first, at least to know how much her aunt thinks about this cousin.

Wang Shaoyan coughed a few times, leaned on the bed, looked at the medicine spoon sent by Linglong but didn't open his mouth to catch it, just gently pushed it away, "You girl, a few days ago, I asked you to feed the medicine, that is, the girl in the room was sent away and couldn't find a suitable one for a while, my mother was afraid that the little girl would spill the medicine roughly, and the boudoir where my sisters lived was too far away from my yard and inconvenient." Now that your sister-in-law has passed the door, and there are maids and grandmothers around her, and she looks steady, where can you still let a young lady serve like this? Let's call the grandmother behind you. Mama Wu's face was silent, but she was very satisfied with this aunt in her heart, first she made it clear that she would not fight Xi Cui, and kept her young master's person, and then she implicitly stated her position, and explained Xi Yunting's identity in front of this young lady, even if she was very dissatisfied with his sick and crooked body before, she didn't pay much attention to it now. Quickly took the decoction, squatted on the couch under the bed, and fed it carefully.

It just so happened that Xi Cui said those words that made Linglong come here, "Cousin's health has been getting worse and worse these days, just use some clear porridge later." Obviously, Wang Shaoyan's words made her a little distracted, and she looked at Xi Cui and turned to Xi Yunting and saluted, "My cousin-in-law's meal is exquisite, so I will ask someone to bring it." My uncle said that today, I think of my cousin's body, and many things in etiquette can be avoided, and it is indispensable to be wronged by my cousin or two, and I hope that my cousin will take care of it. It's only noon now, and I'm afraid that there will be guests who will come to visit my cousin in a while, so I will call a few sisters to come over after lunch. Linglong said goodbye. ”

Xi Yunting felt that this cousin didn't like it, but she didn't care. Seeing that Wang Shaoyan had finished drinking the medicine, he ran over and attached himself to him, "Xianggong, are you going to sleep now?" Would you like to stay with me a little longer? ”

Wang Shaoyan smiled, "What do you do with you?" ”

Xi Cui listened to his voice getting deeper and lower, and his eyes began to droop, knowing that he had to rest. He pulled her up with a smile and led her to the dresser, knowing that her temperament had long been tired of the heavy head on her head, so he hurriedly took advantage of her to look in the mirror and said to her, "Miss, are you going to talk to your uncle with such a heavy headdress?" It's time to shout that you have a headache later, so can the slave help you unload some of these things first? ”

After she said this, Xi Yunting really felt that her neck was tired. There are three or four catties of these bright objects on her head, and if it weren't for the repeated obstruction of her grandmothers, she would have been dragged clean one by one. Now that Xi Cui said to help her take it down, she nodded quickly, but she didn't want her neck to flash when she lowered her head like this and raised it again. It hurt so much that her tears were about to come out, Xi Cui hurriedly helped to help, Ximei saw that there were tears in her eyes for fear of flowing down and spending makeup, so she quickly dipped it with a handkerchief.

After they got it done, they helped Xi Yunting fix her hair, and Wang Shaoyan also fell asleep. And the aroma of the lunch on the table had already hooked Xi Yunting's empty stomach with a growl, and her thoughts of harassing Wang Shaoyan had naturally long been forgotten.

Xi Yunting ate quickly, probably because she was too hungry to do anything, and two bowls of rice entered her stomach in less than a quarter of an hour. When the Wang sisters came in, Xi Cui was cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, Mama Wu was waiting for Xi Yunting to rinse her mouth, and Ximei was standing at the door to greet people.

A jingle of laughter was followed by a burst of aroma, followed by two flowery girls. The one who walked in front of him had skin like snow, with delicate eyebrows and eyes, wearing a light blue wide-sleeved gauze skirt, and the pearl belt around his waist was worn casually, making his waist more and more slender. looked at a few people in the house, and said to Xi Yunting, "My sister Shaomei has seen my sister-in-law." This is the third sister Shaoju. As he spoke, he pulled the girl behind him to his side and was blessed again.

But the young lady looked much shy, and kept her head down, only to see that she was wearing a green emerald smoke shirt, a pleated skirt with scattered flowers and mist and green grass, wearing a thin veil of emerald water, her shoulders were slashed into a waist, and she was swaying gently with broken steps, graceful as an orchid.

The two young ladies stood in front of Xi Yunting, and Xi Cui's seat was behind them, but Mama Wu happened to be by Xi Yunting's side, and she could see the appearance of these two young ladies clearly. Although the third lady in front of her who bowed her head and was silent only glanced at it, she had cut her eyes, her eyebrows were curved like willow leaves, and her lips were as red as Zhu Dan. This appearance is definitely the best among the young ladies she has ever seen, no wonder my uncle is still handsome despite his sick face, it can be seen that the Wang family has a delicate spirit in their bones and blood.

Xi Yunting didn't know how to get along with them for a while, but when people laughed at her, she could only respond with a smile. Wang Shaomei is a lively person, knowing Xi Yunting's situation, her mother called their sisters over because she was worried that there would be a guest in the new house, Xi Yunting would speak out of order and lose the face of the Wang family. But now when I see Xi Yunting, I find that the girl is a girl who doesn't like to talk, sitting there with a smile, and she is also a dignified and beautiful lady, even better than the third sister who has a good skin but is only willing to stand beside her. I didn't know where to start for a while.

Mama Wu hurriedly put chairs and added tea to the two young ladies, Xi Yunting finally couldn't help it, "Are you the sister of Xianggong?" Why do you say it's my sister as soon as you open your mouth? When did I have so many younger sisters, but I only had one older brother in the past. ”

With this opening, Wang Shaomei, who was about to enter the teacup, almost bit the teacup in one bite. Sure enough, it's a stupid one, it's okay not to speak, but when you speak, it's really frightening. At this time, she really began to feel sorry for her talented brother. You must know that your brother is full of wealth, even if he is sick in bed now, he still knows the things in the court today. can always help his father solve problems at critical times, and people who have seen him say that he is the real jealous talent, and now it seems that he is really jealous.

And Wang Shaoju, who had been bowing her head and being silent, couldn't help but raise her head to look at the new sister-in-law in front of her at this moment, only to see her eyebrows slightly bowed, biting her lip, and her face was incredible. Is this really the sister-in-law that my father and mother found for my brother? I only heard that there are some stupidities, how can they be so ignorant of the world, how can such a woman match a character like her brother? I used to think that Cousin Linglong's thoughts about her brother were too straightforward, and she lost her daughter's duty, and she was a little unhappy in her heart, but now she looks at this one and is not as good as Cousin Linglong.

But Xi Yunting didn't know what they were thinking, she only knew that Wang Shaoju's face was so beautiful when she looked up at her. It almost made her breathe tighter, there was such a peerless face in the world! "You're so pretty!" Xi Yunting is a child's heart, and she will say whatever comes to mind. But her sentence made Wang Shaoju quickly lower her head and never dare to raise it again. Since she was a child, she has heard others say that she is beautiful and good-looking, and she didn't care about it at first, but as she grew older, she found that she would be stared at wherever she went, which made her so embarrassed. A shy temperament, with such a face, is extremely discordant. , but there is no way to change it.

"Sister-in-law, don't say that, Shaoju is most afraid that others will pay attention to her face." Wang Shaomei saw that Xi Yunting didn't seem to have the intention of stopping, and even wanted to lift Shaoju's head to look at it again, so she hurriedly stopped, "Sister-in-law, you can't see your own appearance, that's also a beauty." No wonder my delicate cousin was a little unhappy when she came to talk to us about her sister-in-law, I think she has low self-esteem...... "Wang Shaomei is very tired of the Liu family brothers and sisters who have been living in the Wang family. Especially his uncle, he would lift out his broken leg every time something happened, as if the Wang family owed him that leg was a great favor to him. I don't want to think about my original identity, if I didn't follow my father, where would he live now? Look at the cousins and cousins of the Liu family, they really regard themselves as the masters of the Wang family, and they eat better than them. She especially looks down on that delicate cousin, except for pretending to be well-behaved and pitiful, she has no other skills, and she also wants to climb the dragon and the phoenix to get involved with Wang Shaoyan. If she is really allowed to succeed, the Wang family will have to be surnamed Liu sooner or later.

Although Xi Yunting herself doesn't like this in front of her, she is the young lady of the Hou Mansion, and her identity is there. It's nothing to be stupid, isn't it better to be convenient for your mother to discipline you? Anyway, in her eyes, although Wang Liu is her own mother, she has seen more or less her methods, but she has to calculate all the estimates that she has some brains, and it is good to meet such a mother, and her mother has nothing to do with those unsightly calculations. In her opinion, her brother's poor health is mostly to pay off their mother's debts, and this is also the reason why her family has been having problems. If there is a choice, she would rather crawl out of the belly of a woman with no identity and a clean net worth.

"Why be afraid? It's not wrong to be good-looking! Mother said that only people who have done something wrong should be afraid! As long as we don't want to do wrong things and don't do wrong things, we shouldn't be afraid of anyone. It's like they say I'm stupid, and I'm not afraid, because it's not wrong. Xi Yunting said, "Sister, don't be afraid, you're not wrong!" ”

The two sisters stared at Xi Yunting at the same time, this was the first time they had heard such comforting words when they were so old. But I can't find anything wrong with it, it seems that this is what she said, but that's not the case.

"What are you looking at me like that? Didn't you come to talk to me? Don't you understand what I'm saying? They all say I'm stupid, and I don't think you're very smart! As he spoke, he looked at Xi Cui, "Xi Cui, did I say something that shouldn't have been said?" Look at me like that again! ”

Xi Yunting doesn't like others to look at her with that kind of incredible eyes, which seem to be able to isolate herself from other people's worlds, making her feel that she is not accepted and understood.

Xi Cui smiled, "Miss said it very well, the two aunts just didn't react for a while. Didn't Xi Cui tell Miss before? What Miss said is always very reasonable, a few of us who follow Miss often listen to Miss and naturally understand, but others are not familiar with Miss and naturally want to give them some time, right? It's like the young lady just met a stranger, and she doesn't understand a lot of what they say, right? ”

"Oh...... I get it...... You've said before that if I want others to understand, I have to understand others first, right? Xi Yunting's face was dyed with a smile again. Cheerful and real, it made the Wang sisters dizzy.

No wonder my brother only saw her once, and he never forgot her, and originally thought it was to repay his kindness. Because the thousand-year-old Lingzhi brought by this woman can save his life, but now it doesn't seem to be like that, their brother is a woman who really admires the woman in front of him, and she has a trait that makes people can't help but be tempted. Huineng is really a generation of monks, he gave the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum to Xi Yunting, so that Lingzhi could save his brother's life, and Yunting would save his heart.

After a while, a few more women came, and Xi Yunting suddenly stopped talking in front of strangers, just like when they first came in. Linglong followed these people in again, and generously and decently helped greet the guests, as if they were from the Wang family. Her eyes met with the Wang sisters from time to time, but she didn't stay long, most of the time her eyes were on Xi Yunting. The ladies who can enter this door are all official eunuchs who have a relationship with the Wang family, and it is absolutely beneficial for Linglong to be able to enter the eyes of these people. She is different from the Wang sisters, no matter how particular she is about food and clothing, her identity is still there, just like now the Wang sisters only need to accompany Xi Yunting and smile at everyone, without saying much, they can get a lot of praise, and only by constantly catering and carefully grasping the scale can they not lose proportion in their eyes and be qualified to stand with them. In the past, these two sisters were lukewarm to themselves, and they thought that with Xi Yunting, a fool, they might be able to see their own goodness and know that they were the most suitable for Wang Shaoyan, but they didn't expect that the two of them would rather stand with a fool.

Think about Wang Shaoyan again, do you really think you like him so much? It's just a half-dead, if it weren't for a smart brain and a noble identity, she wouldn't have looked at it more. In his eyes, he is not as good as Xi Yunting's fool, are the people of their Wang family evil?

Mama Wu has a great ability to recognize people, as long as there are names and surnames in front of her, she can remember them. At this time, she naturally stayed by Xi Yunting's side, smiling and serving these noble ladies while secretly noting down their identities. Xi Cui and Ximei just stood at the door to greet the send-off.

Wang Shaoyan on the bed was actually woken up a long time ago, but he didn't move, but he was lying on the bed and listening quietly, what people said when they came in. And her bride is surprisingly silent at the moment, originally thinking that her situation should not face these alone, but she can't do anything. Is it really good to listen to Master Huineng and marry her?

When the Wang sisters said goodbye, the sun was about to set, Xi Cui sent them out of the yard, but Wang Shaomei did not leave directly, but looked at Xi Cui and said, "You are the maid that my mother specially went to the Hou Mansion to ask for?" ”

Xi Cuifu should be.

"Do you know what my mother called you over?" Wang Shaomei pressed forward step by step.

"The slave knows it."

"Your young lady seems to trust you, if there really is a day when you will betray her?"

"No, it won't."

"Hmph, that's a nice thing to say, I'll remember."

"Congratulations to my two aunts and grandmothers." Xi Cui bent over, and didn't turn around and walk back until they were far away. But in the corner of the wall not far away, I caught a glimpse of a dark blue corner.
