Chapter 5 Gifts of Apology
The mansion of Qi Mansion is not as spacious as Andingbo's Mansion, but it is also a staggered pavilion and rich and magnificent.
Le Xi originally thought that Qi Shangshu's wife was so angry that she wanted to give them a horse, and even the etiquette of welcoming guests would be saved, but she was led by the servants of Qi Mansion, and after turning to the shadow wall, she saw a middle-aged beautiful woman greeted her with a smile in her eyes.
"Mrs. Andingbo, it's been a bumpy journey, I should have visited Bofu, but I'm tired of you."
"What's so tiring about this, it's just in the car, that's why we came. Mrs. Shangshu was so polite, I was even more uneasy. ”
Lian's enthusiasm surprised Le Xi and Li a little, and Li also had a smile on his face, looking at Lian quietly. Lian's face really didn't have the resentment after his daughter was bullied, and Li's original worry that things would be done was a little more stable.
After the two elders said some warm words about the meeting, Le Xi was led to the Lian family to greet him.
Lian was dressed in a smoky-colored silk Ruyi cloud pattern shirt, with an embroidered folded branch skirt of the same color, and a hibiscus hairpin with a gold silk inlaid ruby double luan head, rich and dignified. In particular, the already soft face always has a warm smile, which seems friendly and approachable. Le Xi gave her a blessing with a very respectful attitude.
When Le Xi was pulled out from behind Li, Lian found that the girl she had never met a few times had changed, dressed elegantly and sweetly, and even behaved politely. Where is there still the shadow of the arrogant and domineering before, and immediately exempted her from the courtesy.
Then it was Le Yan's salute, and Lian's voice was also soft, but the curvature of his lips decreased slightly. It's just that outsiders don't notice.
The group went to the flower hall in a mighty way, where refreshments were prepared early, and when everyone sat down, they came up.
After drinking tea, Li cut straight to the point, saying that he was apologizing for Lexi's recklessness and presenting the gift. Lian Shi repeatedly said the words of resignation, and resolutely refused to accept it, which made Li's heart rise again.
"Mrs. Shangshu is like this, I really want to be upset, isn't it ......"
"Mrs. Andingbo, if you are really so polite, I am not at ease, the three girls of your family are more guilty than Xin'er, and it is Xin'er who provoked the disaster first. You blame yourself, and I blame myself even more. ”
Before Li Shi opened his mouth, he was interrupted by Lian Shi with a smile, and as soon as she said this, Li Shi couldn't help but be stunned.
Today's trip was a bit unexpected, Lian's attitude, and the sudden turn of things, made Li feel overwhelmed. But it was not good to ask anything directly, so I had to look at Lian Shi suspiciously, but I just saw that her eyes fell on herself.
Li Shi looked sideways and saw that Le Xi and Le Yan were both sitting with their eyebrows low, and there was nothing wrong with that. looked back at Lian again, but saw that she was already smiling at herself, and gradually suppressed her doubts and continued to chat with her.
The two ladies put aside the affairs of the juniors, and chatted happily, Lian is a gentle and witty woman, and she said some of the latest news in Beijing very wonderfully, and Li listened to it with relish. This can make the two girls Le Xi and Le Yan a little embarrassed, after all, there are some things that their boudoir women should not listen to.
"Look, Madame Andingbo and I are too speculative, and we are holding two girls in check." Lian and Li chatted happily, and it took her a while to realize that Le Yan's lowered head was almost buried in her chest. Laughing and hurriedly stopped, he commanded the maid beside him. "Hurry up and take the two girls of Andingbo to find the girls at home to play, and they are going to serve."
The maid promised, and before leaving, the Li family instructed Le Xi not to be willful, and Le Xi knew that she was An Lian's heart, so she naturally made a guarantee, so she bowed and went with the maid.
Le Xi and the two were led from the verandah to the inside, and when they saw the moon behind the door, the maid took them through the door, and behind the door was the flowers in full bloom, making people feel like they had come to the scenery of the sea of flowers.
Walking through the flowers, behind is the water pavilion near the lake, and the breeze blows across the lake, and suddenly sets off a sparkling wave, shining like a jewel. And bursts of laughter are wafting out of the water pavilion, as pleasant as silver.
"The slave maid has seen all the girls, these are the eldest girl and the third girl of Andingbo's mansion, and the lady said that she wants the girls to entertain her for her life."
The maid led Le Xi and the others into the water pavilion, and saluted the girls of Qifu who were holding brushes and laughing around the table in the room, explaining their intentions.
The room fell silent.
The girls from Qifu glanced at each other, and Le Xi looked at one of the older grades, and saw that she was obviously stunned, and then the slender phoenix eyes flashed with anger. It's clear in the moment.
This is Qi Xuexin, the third girl of Qi Mansion who fought with herself.
Thinking of his intentions, Le Xi took a step forward with a smile and bowed to the three girls in front of him. "Are the Qi family sisters and sisters painting? Can Lexi join? ”
"I've never heard of the three girls of Andingbo, so versatile."
Qi Xuexin raised her eyebrows, and her tone was quite impulsive. This made the atmosphere in the room a little more embarrassing, and the maid and wife of Qifu were even more vigilant and ready to pull the frame at any time.
The fierceness of Lexi that day, they still remember it vividly, and now their girl is provocative, it's a new hatred and an old hatred!
"What Sister Xin said is that Le Xi really doesn't have any talent." In Qi Xuexin's disagreement, Le Xi unexpectedly pursed her lips and smiled, gave Chao Chen a look, and said softly with some pity. But for the recklessness of that day and to apologize to Sister Xin, Le Xi racked her brains to draw something. Sister Xin should take a look at it, it's good. ”
Unexpectedly, Le Xi was provoked, not only was he not angry, but he also apologized, and everyone in the house was stunned. Qi Xuexin's face was surprised, and at this time, Chao Chen had already spread out the scroll in her hand on the table, and her curiosity prompted her to wink.
And after this glance, I couldn't move away.
Everyone saw Qi Xuexin staring straight at the painting, and they all gathered their eyes there, and after looking at it, the eyes of the girls of the Qi family flashed with amazing light. Le Yan also opened her mouth slightly in shock, her expression showing disbelief.
Seeing the expressions of the girls in his eyes, Le Xi knew that he was on the right step, so he walked up to Qi Xuexin with a smile and tugged on her sleeve. "Sister Xin, see which style you like, I'll go back and ask my mother to send someone to create it, and then send it to you as a gift?"
"It's... You drew all this? ”
Le Xi lowered her posture again and again, and Qi Xuexin was not good at holding it, it seemed that she was too uncultivated. Moreover, the styles of those hairpins designed by Le Xi are indeed exquisite and unique, even in the most famous Duobaoxuan in the capital, there is no one. also half-pushed and half-pushed Le Xi's wishes.
Seeing Qi Xuexin walking to the table, Le Xi said with a smile again. "Yes, Sister Xin, you pick what you like, and all the sisters and sisters also choose, just use it as Xi'er's meeting gift, I hope you don't dislike it."
Le Xi was unexpectedly gentle and polite, which impressed everyone, and saw that she looked natural and behaved generously, not like pretending. A few girls in Qi Mansion really put their hearts at ease and contacted her, although they were still a little not very enthusiastic, Ke Lexi's goal was achieved.
At the water pavilion, laughter sounded again after a while.
And in the end, when Le Xi was about to return home, Qi Xuexin went to see her off, and said mysteriously in her ear, don't be used as a gun like her...
