On the day of his birthday, Qiao Ya changed her previous style, put on a pure white robe, and followed the Chu family to the prefect's mansion.

As soon as she saw Qiao Ya's outfit, Mrs. Yun burst into a sullen smile. Chu Wanqing was even more direct, and pointed out Qiao Ya with a smile: "The real person is deliberately trying to add to the blockage, a good idea." It's a pity that it's not justifiable for me to wear white, otherwise I would have worn filial piety. ”

Jingxu was wearing a light blue, which is also the color that Shouxiao often wears, but she laughed fifty steps and a hundred steps to laugh with Qiao Ya, and Qiao Ya rolled her eyes several times.

"What Miss Chu said, why don't I understand. I'm the head of the family's usual clothes, what's wrong? ”

Mrs. Yun laughed so much that she was about to hurt herself, and hurriedly patted her daughter: "You girl, real people wear it like this every day, which head of the house do you see who doesn't wear this color?" ”

Sure enough, when Qiao Ya got out of the car, even the family's wife Jin saw Qiao Ya's body, and her face turned white. But she had to come up and salute, gritting her teeth and leading people in.

Jingxu followed behind, handed the big red cloth wrapped Jin Xishu to the mother-in-law who specialized in receiving gifts, and also instructed: "Nie Yunguan's gift, Jin Xishu four horses." I wish the prefect a blessed and long life. ”

The Kim family is about to cry, you are sending "death", and you still say that you are blessed with longevity? As soon as she wanted to say something, she saw Qing Chu Zhenren on the side blinking her eyes and looking at her with curiosity.

"Mrs. Jin, what's wrong, isn't it a bad gift from me?"

The Kim family really knocked out his teeth and swallowed it in his stomach, so he couldn't break the homonym of "four" on his husband's birthday, right? When I say that word on my birthday, it's all unlucky.

Thinking about it again, this Qingchu Zhenren is only twelve years old, and he is a person who became a monk at the age of three, but I am afraid that she doesn't know the sophistication of this gift-giver, so she can only give up and greet seriously.

When I entered the backyard, there were more people. Qiao Ya often goes in and out of Bai Chuqin's three families, and it has long been rare for officials and ministers to stay in the back house, and Jingxu is also a noble girl, so she is not afraid of this kind of occasion at all.

Even in Jingxu's opinion, these officials' back houses are a piece of cake at all, and she used to be a person in the noble girl circle in the capital.

Jin thought that this pair of female crowns would be restrained and couldn't let go, but after a cup of tea, the faces of these two people did not change at all, and someone could talk calmly, which made her a little unhappy.

Inviting you to celebrate your birthday is not for you to be a quiet guest, you can eat so openly, isn't it a bit of putting the cart before the horse? So Kim coughed dryly and winked at his head.

The maid below saw Jin's eyes and immediately retreated. Jingxu smiled while eating tea and lowered her voice and said to her uncle, "This is about to make a move." ”

Qiao Ya nodded and smiled: "I haven't hit someone for a long time, my hands are so itchy." ”

The two of them were thinking about what the Jin family would do, when they suddenly heard someone outside report that Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials had arrived with her children, and the Jin family hurriedly dropped the tea bowl and went out to greet them, and many people in the house followed out, even Mrs. Yun also took Chu Wanqing out.

Qiao Ya still sat still, quietly watching her not move, and she herself did not move. It wasn't long before I saw a woman dressed much more gorgeous than the others, walking ahead with a young girl, and a group of people entered the house like a moon.

Jingxu pulled Qiao Ya, and the two just stood up, nodded at the two of them, and saluted.

The Xiao family originally took their children to visit relatives in Heishui County, and it was nothing to be kept by the Jin family to attend a birthday banquet. But as soon as she saw a female crown in a white robe standing there and nodding to herself, she immediately returned the salute to the other party.

"Who is this?"

The Jin family didn't want to introduce it, but who knew that Mrs. Yun had already preemptively said: "This is the head of Nie Yunguan in Heishui County, Qingchu Zhenren." ”

It turned out to be her? Xiao Shi was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to walk opposite Qiao Ya, looked up and down carefully, and somehow brought out a little tears in his eyes.

Seeing that the other party was not malicious, Qiao Ya smiled and nodded: "This ......"

Chu Wanqing hurriedly leaned over and whispered, "This is Mrs. Xiao, the niece of the old lady Xiao of the Qin family." This is the daughter of Fanxun Meng, the author of Fanshangshu. ”

Qiao Ya nodded: "Mrs. Xiao, Miss Fan, it's polite." ”

Mrs. Xiao heard Chu Wanqing's voiceover, and asked with a smile, "The real person and my aunt are old acquaintances?" ”

Qiao Ya replied with a smile: "Old Lady Meng Xiao is in love, I have met a few times. ”

When Mrs. Xiao heard the answer, she was a little happier with Qiao Ya in her heart, and she even ignored Jin's greeting and sat down in the seat next to Qiao Ya.

Seeing this, Jingxu directly let go of her seat and let Fan Xunmeng sit on the other side of Qiao Ya, and she stood behind Qiao Ya by herself, staring at the door.

Seeing that Mrs. Xiao's attention was diverted by Qiao Ya, the Jin family was very dissatisfied, and the secretary was responsible for the assessment and management of officials, and he could appoint and dismiss random officials under the four grades. Although the prefect cannot be appointed or dismissed, the annual assessment of the prefect is also under the control of the official department.

To put it bluntly, it is more convenient and direct to pat the sycophants of the Ministry of Officials than the emperor's sycophants. It was so easy for the Jin family to keep someone down, but who knew that she was cut off by Qing Chu Zhenren halfway, how could she not hate it in her heart?

But no matter how much she hated, she couldn't speak directly, so she could only stare at Qing Chu Zhenren with her eyes, and kept throwing away the knife.

Qiao Ya and Mrs. Xiao said a few words, and were about to turn their heads back to Fan's dream question, when they turned their heads and saw the white eyes of the Jin family, grinned, and asked crisply: "Is Mrs. Jin dissatisfied with me?" Otherwise, why do you keep rolling your eyes at me? ”

There was a sudden burst of coughing in the room, and several people choked on the tea. Some people couldn't help but pop out of the music.

Well, this one is Mrs. Yun. She is the wife of a military attaché, so it is in line with the character of the military attaché's family to be direct.

The Jin family almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, and quickly took a sip of tea and suppressed it and said with a smile: "I'm not disrespectful to Qingchu Zhenren, I'm afraid that the real person is wrong, right?" ”

Qiao Ya shrugged her shoulders indifferently: "If you see it wrong, you can see it wrong, but can Mrs. Jin not keep staring at me, I am not fat, I can't eat it." ”

There was another cough in the room, and the roots of Jin's teeth were about to be broken, but he still maintained a smiling face: "I like it very much when I see Qingchu real people, and if real people don't want to, then I don't look at real people." ”

In the eyes of others, this sound particularly aggrieved, and everyone thought about it, although the Jin family really rolled their eyes, but the big guys wanted to slap Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Officials, so it was still understandable. But Qing Chu Zhenren said it so bluntly, isn't it not a shame?

So just when everyone was dissatisfied with Qiao Ya, Qiao Ya suddenly spoke again: "Don't say that, if you want to see it, I can still gouge out your eyeballs?" ”
