Chapter 12: Greetings

Ning Guogong and his wife and Ding Guogong sat on the top respectively, and on the lower side were the Han family, and on the other side were Zhao's father with Zhao's mother and several children. When everyone was seated, the servants brought the tea and cakes like a cloud, and then retreated silently.

Zhao's father and Zhao's mother took the lead in saluting Ning Guogong and his wife, and then greeted Han Shizi and Han Qi and his wife.

Then the eldest brother Zhao Xu and the second brother Zhao Yan took Zhao Xi's little hand and said hello to Ning Guogong and his wife. Zhao Xu and Zhao Gen originally studied in the Han family's genealogy, and often went in and out of the Han family, so they were naturally very familiar with everyone in the Han family, so they just waved their hands and made a bow.

But Zhao Xi can't.

Because of his divine power, Zhao Xi rarely went out to the Zhao Mansion before he fully mastered the divine power, and it stands to reason that when he visited his relatives during the New Year, how could Zhao Xi see the Han family. But during the New Year, people came, in line with the principle of prudence, for fear that Zhao Xi would not be able to control his divine power and reveal his vision, and there would be many people and a mixed mouth, and the previous hard work would be invalidated, so during the New Year, Zhao Xi did not go out with Zhao's father and Zhao mother to go out to relatives, but stayed at home to play with the eldest princess.

During the Chinese New Year, the big family will set aside a day to entertain the guests, and will send the post to the guests' homes before the Chinese New Year, so that the guests know that this is the date of a certain family banquet. Generally speaking, these dates are basically fixed, just like the Han family is on the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, while the Zhao family is on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

Since Zhao Xi showed his divine power when he was one year old, the Zhao family's New Year's banquet has been stopped for three years, but the Han family's wife and second lady will still greet the Zhao family during the New Year, so Zhao Xi has seen them, and the two beautiful women who were excited when they heard the flower dew just now behind the Duchess of Ning Guo were Mrs. Shizi and the second lady.

However, because of the noble status of Ning Guogong and his wife, and the many old relatives of the Han family, many of them needed to be received by them in person, so they did not go to the Zhao family with Mrs. Shizi. In the past few years, they have also been to Zhao's house several times, but it is a pity that Zhao Xi has not been able to meet Ning Guogong and his wife for one reason or another, so this is the first official meeting between Zhao Xi and them.

The other party is Zhao Xi's uncle, grandfather, and grandmother, and he is a gentleman who will follow and study in the future, so naturally this courtesy cannot be light.

Duchess Ning Guo had already seen the opportunity to put a futon in front of Zhao Xi, Zhao Xi reacted and knelt down to make a heavy salute, then raised her head, showed a big smile, and said, "Xi'er greets my uncle and grandmother." ”

Thanks to the good and strong genes of the Zhao family, Zhao Xi has grown very well in her life, and whenever she shows this kind of smile, the family from Dingguo Gong, the eldest princess, and even the slaves can't bear to refuse her request.

Ning Guogong couldn't maintain his expressionless face anymore, a smile appeared on his face, he picked up Zhao Xi and stood up with both hands, and then handed Zhao Xu a wooden box beside her, and said, "Let's see if you like the meeting gift that your uncle and grandfather gave you." ”

Zhao Xi opened the wooden box that Zhao Xu was holding in his hand and saw a dull dagger inside. But looking at the appearance of this dagger, it really looks like a stall that can be bought with dozens of copper plates.

Suddenly an exclamation came from behind him: "It turned out to be autumn water." ”

The voice was made by a handsome teenager, judging from his age and sitting position, it should be the eldest son of Han Shizi, the eldest grandson of the Han family, Han Yatang. He was so shocked that he stood up.

Qiushui, the name sounds completely incomparable to the famous sword Xuanyuan Sword, but it is such an unpretentious name but a sharp weapon, just like the appearance of this dagger is not at all inconspicuous, but it is impossible to deny the fact that it sharpens iron like clay.

Dagger Qiushui has always been a treasure in the Han family's treasury, Han Yatang has wanted this dagger for a long time, he was ready to ask his grandfather for Qiushui when he tried to win the martial arts, but now he saw his grandfather give it as a gift to a four-year-old girl, so how could he not be surprised.

The juniors of the Han family knew that Qiushui had shown a different color, and they probably couldn't understand what their grandfather did. Even Zhao Xu and Zhao Yan knew about Qiushui, and when they saw the scene in front of them, they had doubts on their faces.

As for Han Shizi and his wife and Han Qi, they were as steady as Mount Tai and sat still. Dingguo Gong and the eldest princess calmly tasted tea, and so did Zhao's father and Zhao's mother.

[What a good thing! I found you really lucky to get this thing. In terms of the scientific and technological level of modern society, some objects and feats of ancient times cannot be explained by science, and people of any era cannot be underestimated. Xingchen sighed.

How good is it? 】

Zhao Xi was a little curious, she had already seen the Han family's cousin's discoloration, but she didn't have a correct comparison.

[The magic weapon of this era. Star Judgment.

Sure enough, it's a big gift. Zhao Xi also sighed.

Now that she has made a name for being smart, Zhao Xi will not hide it in front of Mr. Future, this gentleman has not yet made up her mind, and she has to let people know that she has the ability to accept her as an apprentice.

So Zhao Xi closed the box, looked at his uncle and grandfather, and excused himself, "Uncle and grandfather, it's too precious, Xi'er can't ask for it." "Straightforwardly, without consulting my grandfather and grandmother, I made my own decision.

Ning Guogong shook his head and said with a little meaning, "The treasure sword is given to the hero, and the autumn water is accompanied by Yinghua." Qiushui will like to have such a master, I hope you don't have to bear it. ”

Zhao Xi saw the persistence in Ning Guogong's eyes, and also accepted this generous gift happily.

Han Yatang had already sat back, he was just surprised and lost his temper just now, but he would not question his grandfather's decision, now that his grandfather had expressed his attitude, he naturally had no objections. He won't be stingy, even if it's Qiushui, it can't make him jealous, not to mention that the other party is still his own cousin, so naturally he won't do anything rude.

Han Yatang is the eldest brother of the Han family, he is like this, and the other juniors of the Han family don't talk much, but everyone has a spectrum in their hearts, and they have all increased Zhao Xi's attention a lot.

Zhao Xu, who helped her get the gift on her behalf, just wanted to hurry up and hand over the wooden box in his hand that felt like a thousand catties to Zhao's father or grandfather for safekeeping.

Duchess Ning Guo smiled and took Zhao Xi's little hand, touched her head, pinched her face, and said with a smile, "Look at which fairy this is to come down to practice, such a well-behaved and cute appearance is one of the best among fairies." If there is such a little fairy in my family, I have to hide it well, but I can't let outsiders look at it in vain. But today, the little fairy came to my house, I can't be stingy, come, see if you like this gift? ”

The grandmother next to her has opened a wooden box, the gift inside is a complete set of gold inlaid gems and white jade jewelry, full of dozens of large boxes, gold is red gold, the color of the gems is gorgeous and no impurities, white jade is the top, and with the craftsmanship of the creation, although it is not as good as Qiushui, but for the daughter's family, it is also a very heavy gift.

Among the three girls sitting in the Han family's boys, two showed envious eyes, and the other said jokingly, "Grandmother, since you also think this little fairy is good-looking, why don't you leave her in our house?" So that you can see her every day. ”

It was Han Yatang's own sister who spoke, Han Yajing. She is seven years old this year, and in addition to her in the family, the youngest one is Han Yalin, the concubine on the other side of the second room, but she is also six years old. Now I see a cute little girl of Yuxue, and I really want to hug her in my arms and make love. She was very greedy when she saw her grandmother's movements just now.

Duchess Ning Guo teased her granddaughter, "Why don't you intercede with your uncle and grandmother, let her keep your cousin Xi, and let your cousin Xi live in the same room with you at night." ”

Han Yajing was not afraid of the eldest princess, so if she really stepped forward to greet her, she really asked, "Uncle and grandmother, would you like to leave Cousin Xi for one night?" Take care of her, and I'll send my cousin back to you tomorrow. ”

The children of the Han family are also called Father Zhao as their uncle and Dingguo Gong as their uncle and grandfather.

The eldest princess gently gave Han Yajing a brain jump, and shook her head with a smile, "Your grandmother also said that if there is such a little fairy in her family, she will definitely hide it well, so your uncle and grandmother must also hide your cousin Xi, so that you don't have to hook the little fairy back to my house." ”

Han Yajing showed disappointment when she heard this, but as soon as she rolled her eyes, she walked up to Zhao Xi, took her other little hand, and introduced herself: "Cousin Xi, I am your eldest cousin Han Yajing, you can just call me Cousin Jing." After the meeting, I will take you to my room to play, and I will give you whatever you like. ”

Zhao Xi saw the light in this cousin's eyes, and the black line in his heart turned out to be Lolita.

So, Zhao Xi met with Ning Guogong and his wife, and then met with Han Shizi and Han Qi, and also met with his cousins and cousins one by one, and received many meeting gifts.

The eldest young master Han Yatang, the third young master Han Yanan, and the eldest lady Han Yajing are all the daughters of the eldest room, the second young master Han Ya Brown and the fourth young master Han Yajin are the second room sisters-in-law, and the second young lady Han Yaqian and the third miss Han Yalin are the second room concubines.

When the two sides finished the ceremony, Han Yajing was happily about to take Zhao Xi to her room to play, but Ning Guogong stepped in, picked up Zhao Xi, and left a few words, "Grandfather will take your cousin Xi to play for a while, and soon send her back to play with you." Ask your aunt what Xi'er likes to eat, and prepare well to entertain the guests. ”

Han Yajing watched her grandfather's figure walk away in annoyance, Zhao Xi stretched out her head from Ning Guogong's arms, and when she saw Han Yajing's expression, she had to wave her hand and show a big smile.

When Han Yajing saw it, her mood improved, she didn't know what she was thinking, so she ran to Zhao's mother again and began to ask Zhao Xi about the food she liked.
