Accompanying Gao Yiyan, who had already finished changing and grooming, from her slightly trembling shoulders, Xie Ning could see that she was panicked, so he stretched out his arms and hugged her softly, hoping to calm her down gradually.

"Yan'er, how are you? What happened? ”

Before the Xiang people approached, the voice came first. Xu is because he knows that this place is quiet, so he asks so loudly.

"Mother," Gao Yiyan suddenly cried, as if she wanted to relieve all the grievances in her heart, broke free from Xie Ning's embrace, and threw herself at the three people who approached.

"It's okay, it's okay," Xiang patted his daughter and comforted him softly, "Yan'er, my mother is here, don't worry, ah." ”

"Mother," Gao Yiyan replied in a low voice, and buried her head in Xiang's arms aggrievedly.

Behind the mother and daughter, Gu Qingyun and Gao Yiyao stood side by side. I saw Gao Yiyao step forward, "Mother, Xiao Gongzi has made things very clear before. Let's take the second sister back first. ”

Tsai carefully tied Gao Yiyan's cloak, and before leaving, Xiang didn't forget to turn around and warn Qin Feng, "Yan'er is a good girl's family, but she was humiliated in the house." Today's matter, I hope His Royal Highness King An will give an explanation. ”

Hearing her cold words, Xie Ning looked back worriedly, but saw Qin Feng looking like he hadn't heard it, and sent the guest off with a warm smile, "Mrs. Jingyang Hou will go slowly, and the king of tomorrow will go to the mansion to visit the second young lady." ”

***

Out of King An's Mansion, Gu Qingyun made an appointment with the Gao sisters to visit her tomorrow, then said goodbye and left, and returned to the Prime Minister's Mansion in a sedan chair.

Xiang didn't delay, hurriedly ordered the sedan chair man to go home, didn't care about the rules, the three sedan chairs were carried all the way into the inner courtyard, and the mother and daughter didn't sweep Xie Ning, who was rescued by Gao Yiyan, and went straight into the jade courtyard.

Gao Yiyan's mood has calmed down a lot, so Xie Ning didn't follow to provoke the suspicion, but took Gu Sui back to the small courtyard, lit a fire and opened the stove, and prepared the dinner of the master and servant.

Early the next morning, before Xie Ning finished a set of punches, a maid came to call the door, Gu Sui heard the sound, and walked over and asked, "Is there something wrong with this sister?" ”

"I am a maid in the courtyard of the second miss, and our second miss is going to ask Miss Biao to come over to talk today, and I will be specially sent over to inform you."

Listening to this little girl's tone, it seemed that Gao Yiyan wanted to invite her over to express her gratitude. Xie Ning was happy when he heard this, "Tell you Miss, I'll go later." ”

Xie Ning didn't insist that everyone in the Hou Mansion be grateful to repay her, but yesterday in order to save Gao Yiyan, she had completely offended King Xuan, the prince, if in this case, no one had thanked her, so how could she not be cold.

Afraid that Gao Yiyan would wait for a long time, Xie Ning went back to the room and simply changed his clothes, put two pastries in his stomach, and walked towards the courtyard where Gao Yiyan lived.

It is said that she has lived in the Hou Mansion for so long, and she has never been to Yanxin Courtyard.

With a sigh of emotion in his heart, Xie Ning stepped into the door, and saw a maid greeted him warmly, "Hello Miss Biao, you are finally here, our young lady has been thinking about you for a long time." ”

Xie Ning nodded, followed the maid forward, and actually entered Gao Yiyan's boudoir.

She couldn't help but feel a stir in her heart, it seemed that after this incident, this cousin really wanted to befriend her.

Entering the room, the first thing Xie Ning noticed was not all kinds of luxurious furnishings, but Gao Yiyan who was reclining on the soft couch.

Before entering Beijing, her father repeatedly told her to pay attention to Miss Houfu's words and deeds, and to be a lady in the same way. But Gao Yiyan's style, she really can't learn it.

I saw Gao Yiyan's eyes slightly closed, four fanning maids standing on both sides, and a mother-in-law squatting next to her feet rubbing her legs. The pomp and circumstance were so big that Xie Ning shook his head secretly.

Not to mention how uncomfortable it is to be surrounded by so many people, how much money it costs to just hold up such a big pomp.

The maids and servants all have to pay monthly money, and she doesn't have so much money to squander, and as for the silver of the deed of sale, she is even more reluctant to give it.

Shu is bitterly cold, and most of her father's annual income is used to help the poor, and some money is allocated to fill the military salary, and most of the family relies on her mother's dowry to survive.

Xie Ning entered Beijing, and her father secretly stuffed a dozen taels of silver into her package, just for fear that she would be looked down upon by others. But if she uses this silver to make this fancy pomp, the first one who doesn't agree is probably herself.

"Miss, Miss Xie Jiabiao has arrived."

Hearing this, Gao Yiyan slowly opened her eyes, walked down from the couch, took Xie Ning's hand affectionately, and said with a smile on her eyebrows: "Cousin Xie is here, thanks to you yesterday, Yan'er thanked me here." ”

"Cousin Yeon is polite." Xie Ning is a straight temper, Gao Yiyan is a person whose emotions are written on his face, Xie Ning consciously has a lot of peace of mind when dealing with her, so he smiled and talked to her: "It's really cool in my cousin's room." ”

This is not to flatter, as soon as he entered the house, Xie Ning felt a refreshing coolness.

"Yes, cousin, I don't know, I've always been afraid of heat, and my mother specially ordered an ice basin to be set up in the house, even the summer solstice is very cool."

After finishing speaking, she was satisfied to see the envious look on Xie Ning's face. But I don't know what Xie Ning thinks in her heart, but it is not what she thought.

It is false to say that she does not envy Gao Yiyan, but Xie Ning's reaction when she heard this was not that she was jealous that she had an ice basin to cool off, but that she was envious that she could have the love of her mother, although her mother was the Xiang family who did not deal with her.

Gao Yiyan, who thought that she was showing off her success in front of Shaining, made persistent efforts to take out the jewelry on her dressing table and handed it to Shaining one by one, and did not forget to use words to show the preciousness of these objects.

"Look, this is a golden hairpin," Gao Yiyan took out a golden hairpin from the makeup box and shook it in front of Xie Ning, "This was given by my father on my twelfth birthday last year." The top is inlaid with rubies, like plum blossoms? ”

"It's really like." Xie Ning looked at the plum blossoms blooming on the top, and had to admire the exquisite craftsmanship of this hairpin.

"Yes," Gao Yiyan was even more interested after her reply, "Let's take a look at this ...... again"

The two of them had been together and looked at the jewelry for so long, and Xie Ning already knew Gao Yiyan's intention to call her over. The other party didn't mean to thank her sincerely, but just to show off what he had in front of her.

Regarding Gao Yiyan's careful thoughts, Xie Ning didn't care too much. After all, listening to Gao Yiyan say so much, it made her understand a little bit about hairpin ornaments.

Just as Gao Yiyan was about to speak, a maid walked in and interrupted the conversation.

"Miss, His Royal Highness King An and Miss Gu are here to visit."

Hearing this, Gao Yiyan put down the jade bracelet in her hand, her eyes flashed, and she raised her eyebrows at Xie Ning and said, "Your Highness came to visit, and I will go to receive it." My cousin is here to wait. ”

"Diancui, you pack these things up."

The maid who came in to pass the word walked over and lowered her head to collect the jewelry scattered around the table one by one.
