Chapter 178: Meeting Gift

The Zhao family has a high reputation in the south of the Yangtze River, and the Mid-Autumn Festival has been lively over the years, and this year, with the addition of granddaughters from the imperial city, someone came to visit early in the morning.

After Xia Xue'er finished grooming, she was led by her grandmother and went to the old lady's house to say goodbye, and before she entered the house, she saw seven or eight women with eyes, all of whom were talking to the old lady with a kind face.

Mrs. Zhao only married the old lady in this life, never carried a room and a concubine, and had five daughters and five sons under his knees, and the five sons were all married to their own sons, and among the daughters, except for the youngest daughter, who has not married so far, the rest have also a home.

Mama entered the room and bowed, Xia Xue'er stepped into the door, and glanced at everyone present, seeing that several people had similarities in their postures and appearances, and they thought that they were aunts and aunts who had never met so far.

Slightly lowering his eyebrows, he walked to the middle of the hall and bowed to the old lady.

"Come on, come on, sit down at Grandma's!" Old Madam Zhao beckoned to Xia Xue'er and patted the position beside her.

The old lady sat on the Taishi chair made of golden silk nanmu, with a soft brown plush blanket on the chair surface, and two gold embroidered soft pillows at each end, which was not only comfortable but also very spacious, and it was more than enough for the three of them to sit. Xia Xue'er lowered her head and stepped forward, but she didn't sit down, but just squatted down next to the chair.

This scene fell into the eyes of several women sitting in the hall, and they all showed appreciation. This kid still knows how to be polite.

"I have long heard that the eldest niece is gentle and lovely, and I can see it today, and it really deserves its reputation! I want to congratulate my mother on getting such a precious granddaughter with Lan Xinhui! ”

"Haha~ Just count your favorite words!"

Old Madam Zhao laughed loudly, and her happy mouth couldn't close. Xia Xue'er also raised her head slightly to follow the prestige, the woman who spoke was about the same age as her mother, and her posture was slightly plump, but she couldn't resist her beautiful appearance shining. The black and shiny bun is pulled up high, the head is full of pearls and emeralds to show gorgeous wealth, wearing a concubine-colored long skirt, the skirt just reaches the top of the foot, and the rich swimming fish picture embroidered with pearls as fish eyes on the shoes looms. Xia Xue'er estimated that this should be her eldest aunt Xu.

Sure enough, after the old lady finished saying that, she turned her head to look at Xia Xue'er and said, "She is your eldest aunt!" Xia Xue'er immediately got up, bowed to this person, and called her aunt.

"Good boy!" Seeing Xia Xue'er saluting herself, Xu Shi also got up slowly, walked to Xia Xue'er, and while praising her for being sensible, he took off a jade bracelet from her hand, pulled her hand directly, and put it directly in. Xia Xue'er shirked twice, and when the old lady saw this, she said: "Don't shirk, she will take it for you, this is what she should give as an uncle, she is the richest!" When Xia Xue'er heard this, she accepted it, and thanked her with a gift. The bracelet was of excellent condition, and must have been priceless, but it was of little use to her, she was thin, and her wrists were very thin, and she wore it as if she had put a hula hoop on a small sapling, and if she dropped her hand, it would slip off the ground. So she took it off again, and Cuizhu wrapped it in a handkerchief.

With the action of the eldest aunt, the rest of the people also took out the meeting gifts prepared before, Xia Xue'er saw them one by one, and Mrs. Zhao looked at the scene with a smile, feeling both relieved and comfortable, this is a happy family!

The Zhao family is prosperous, especially in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, and everyone who is outside has come back for the festival without exception, and even the daughter who got married has come back with her husband and children. The children are the most, and the children running in Zhao's house are seventeen or eighteen years old, and the youngest ones are three or four years old and have to be followed by nursing mothers. For a while, in the huge house, the sound of children playing can be heard everywhere. Xia Xueer also prepared a meeting gift in advance, and the children of the younger generation met and called their aunt or aunt sweetly, and they could get a favorite gift, not all of which were priceless, but they were all carefully prepared and children's favorite gadgets.

Knowing that she liked to be quiet, Zhao Wanqing took her away from the children's nest, and the two walked along the promenade on the lake, talking intimate words, and the maid and grandmother only followed from a distance.

"I'm going to get married."

As she walked, Zhao Wanqing suddenly said this, so much so that Xia Xue'er couldn't react for a while. It stands to reason that the granddaughter of the Zhao family is married, which must be something that the whole country will know, but she has not heard of such a thing before!

Unable to hear Xia Xue'er's answer, Zhao Wanqing glanced at Xia Xue'er, who was stunned with her mouth slightly open, only smiled slightly, turned around directly, walked to the stone railing, facing the lake, and let the cool breeze bring a slightly cool water vapor to her face, her eyes stared at the vast lake, there were no flowers or things planted in the lake, sparkling in the sun, just like her heart lake now, thinking of the obsession she once had, her heart would only fluctuate slightly, but she could no longer set off strong winds and waves.

After Xia Xue'er came back to her senses, she walked over and stood beside Zhao Wanqing, reached out and touched the finely carved stone lion sitting on the stone railing, and only after a while did she open her mouth and spit out four words: "So, it's so good......"

"yes, that's great!"

At first, she thought he was the whole world, and she thought that her love was heartbreaking, but in the end she realized that it was not just wishful thinking, and it was not even love. There was a slight sadness in his eyes, but there was a smile on his face.

Maybe only when she meets him, she knows what "heartbeat" is and what "love" is!

Zhao Wanqing took a deep breath and calmed down some of the waves in her heart, and then asked, "How are you and him?" The voice fell, and then added: "The sixth prince." ”

Xia Xue'er smiled bitterly, if it was really a good thing not to go out, evil things would go thousands of miles, and the scandal between her and the six princes had actually spread to Jiangnan!

Zhao Wanqing raised her head slightly, closed her eyes, and only let her face feel the footprints of the wind. There is no impermeable wall in the world, especially if you don't want to cover it up, everyone knows that it is sooner or later! When she was in the Anguo Marquis Mansion, she had also seen the six princes, the dragon among people, naturally impeccable, and Chong Xia Xue'er's demeanor was also flattering, but there was still a trace of truth missing in her eyes, and that, that was the most important point!

She didn't open her eyes, but the corners of her mouth curved, and she said softly: "I can see that he likes you very much." ”

"Who?"

Xia Xue'er frowned, Mu Xuanlong?
