Inside the White House

As soon as Zhou Xiya walked into the house with Jinxiu, her little cousin greeted her.

"Cousin, why do you have time to come over today, I knew from my grandmother that my cousin was coming, so I came to welcome you." Bai Huiling stepped forward and grabbed Zhou Xiya's arm and smiled closely.

"I'm a little busy during this time, so I didn't come over, but you girl is very idle, and she didn't say that she went to play with me." Zhou Xiya smiled, this is the little cousin of the eldest uncle's family, the youngest of her grandfather's family, and she is very pampered.

"I want to go too, but my mother said that I grew up and couldn't play around all day, which didn't restrict me from learning the rules at home, and said that while the next year was the busiest, let me follow her to learn how to housekee, cousin, now I look at the account book and my eyes are dizzy, this is not hiding from my grandmother." Bai Huiling looked at Zhou Xiya pitifully.

"It's all like this, my aunt is for your good, my eldest cousin is my aunt's strict discipline, and I have learned my aunt's housekeeping skills, and now I am deeply respected by my mother-in-law's family, you are thirteen years old this year, and my aunt should let you study, or how will you deal with it in the future." Zhou Xiya also hopes that a mother can worry about herself and be carefully taught by her mother, but she can't enjoy such a thing, but she is also very happy, the third uncle and aunt protected her to grow up, and her uncle gave her maternal love, and she was content.

"Cousin, why are you also in this tone, my mother always takes my eldest sister as an example for me, the eldest sister is all good, I am not good at everything, I also work hard, but I can't compare to my sister, I am also very depressed." Bai Huiling was very depressed.

"You, don't pout here. My aunt must have seen your efforts, but I was afraid that you would be lax and deliberately compare your eldest cousin to you, so when I saw my eldest aunt in a while, I told her that it would be okay to take you out to play in the afternoon. Zhou Xiya patted the little girl's head.

"Really, cousin, you're so good, let's go skating, let's get an ice skating rink on the outskirts of the city." It's fun. How about we go skating. Bai Huiling happily pulled Zhou Xiya's sleeve and dangled flatteringly.

"Okay" Zhou Xiya nodded, and the two sisters came to the main house with a smile.

"Miss Cousin has arrived, the old lady is in a hurry, let's go in." A mother-in-law lifted the curtain and smiled.

Zhou Xiya smiled and nodded in.

"I've seen my grandmother. Grandmother. These days are fine. Zhou Xiya saluted.

"Good. I'm in good health, but you girl, don't say anything about coming and see me. Have you forgotten my old woman? Madame Bai took Zhou Xiya's hand and complained with a smile.

"Grandmother, I don't dare to forget you, isn't this time busy, there are too many things a year ago, my father has returned to the capital, and there are more entertainments in this exchange, I took over the housekeeper's rights, this matter of detention gives me a headache, if it weren't for my grandmother, you gave me a few capable cadres, I must be in a mess, this is not time to see my grandmother, I know that you want to complain about me, no, I made a dress for you with my own hands, now you should be happy." Zhou Xiwan playfully flattered, leaned on her grandmother's knee and smiled.

"In that case, then I will forgive you generously." Old Madam Bai deliberately kept a straight face, she liked this junior to joke like this the most, and she was the happiest when she talked about it and laughed.

"Grandmother, you were bought like this, now I have learned a trick, if you are angry one day, I will make you a dress, if you don't forgive me, I won't do it, you can't be partial." Bai Huiling gaged on the side, her grandmother has the best temper, and she is the most loving to their younger generation, and it is a blessing for the younger generation to have such elders in the family.

"You girl, do you dare to make me angry?" The old lady asked with a smile.

"Don't dare, don't dare, I don't dare, you are the ancestor of the family, who dares to make you angry." Bai Huiling hurriedly waved her hand.

"Open it up and let me see, let me see how the craftsmanship of my family Ya'er is, your third aunt's embroidery work is very good, and you must have got her true inheritance." The old lady asked with a smile.

"My embroidery work is not as good as my aunt, my aunt always said that I am clumsy, I can hold a sword, but I can't hold an embroidery needle, grandmother, you can't laugh at me, or I can't rely on it." Zhou Xiya beckoned Jinxiu to open the brocade box.

"You girl, you really follow the people of your Zhou family, a girl can also dance and play with a sword, let me see if this hand has pierced a few needle holes." The old lady deliberately made a joke.

"Grandmother, you're bullying me." Zhou Xiya stomped her feet in annoyance.

"Okay, don't tease you, come and see me" The old lady smiled very happily, picked up the clothes made by her niece, even if it was not good-looking, she would wear it, this is a child's heart, how can she live up to it.

"It's good-looking, it's really good-looking, Ya'er, your embroidery work is really good, it's much better than your cousins, Ling girl, you have to work hard, look at your cousin, this embroidery is really good, this dress is meticulous and beautiful." The old lady held up her clothes and looked at them carefully, and nodded uncontrollably.

"Grandmother, why did you bring me again, my embroidery work is the worst among the sisters, they are all better than me, you receive so many embroidery jobs from our sisters every year, but you can't always name me, I'm the youngest in the family." Bai Huiling quit and deliberately complained.

"Yo, our Ling girl is still full of grievances, okay, okay, I know that you are the youngest, how hard you work, I will praise you when I look back." The old lady smiled.

"It's pretty much the same, but my hands are pitiful, and in order to practice embroidery, I have to fill my hands with needle eyes." Bai Huiling looked at her hands and sighed pitifully.

"Look at this girl, what haven't you done, first full of complaints, no wonder her mother is talking to her all day long, this girl is the skinniest among these girls, okay, I'll go inside to change clothes, try to fit or not, this dress is so good-looking, I will wear this on the first day of the new year." The old lady got up, clicked on Bai Huiling's head and walked back.

Just as he was waiting, he saw a little maid walking in quickly, "Sixth Miss, Madam is back, let the slave and maid come and call you." ”

"It's over, my mother has come back from shopping, and I'm going to learn again." Bai Huiling had a bitter face, so she couldn't feel pity.

"Let's go. I'll go sit down with my aunt and get you out in a moment. Zhou Xiya could only comfort her like this.

"Good cousin, don't forget me, I'm waiting for you to save me from the depths." Bai Huiling explained repeatedly, and then left.

Zhou Xiya shook her head helplessly, this girl is the youngest in her grandfather's family, and her personality is very lively, but with such a pistachio, her grandmother must be in a good mood every day.

"Where's Ling?" The old lady changed her clothes and walked out of the back room.

"I was called away by my aunt"

"Hehe, that girl must have walked with a bitter face when she left. Your aunt doesn't care about her these days. I don't help to speak, the girl who is used to being loose, I can't stand it now. The old lady laughed.

"Who's to say it isn't. My aunt did this for her good. The girl who went out of the Bai family. is not only a talented woman who is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but also a housekeeper who is an expert and can be out of the hall. Entering the kitchen, my aunt is so strict, but also in order not to fall into the reputation of the Bai family. Zhou Xiya stroked the old lady and sat down.

"Of course, the prosperity of this family, not only the boys are excellent, the girls must also be strictly educated, so that they can prosper for a long time, the role of women can not be underestimated, the previous dynasty had a queen on my ancestors, that is my aunt, support the young prince to ascend the throne, suppress the courtiers, until the prince is an adult. This is the style of a woman, a woman who only dresses up all day long, and a woman who is full of flowers and snow, is not an excellent girl. I hope that there will be such a girl in our family, not to let you enter the palace as a concubine, but to hope that you can be on your own and not be crushed by anything" The old lady recalled the past with a yearning face, but unfortunately, the previous dynasty was gone.

"It's a pity that I can't admire her style." Zhou Xiya understood what her grandmother meant.

The old lady patted Zhou Xiya's hand, and she also sighed.

"Girl, I heard that Wan Yatou was kicked out of the Zhou family by your father, right?" The old lady asked.

"Yes, grandmother, you've heard about it too?" Zhou Xiya sat aside.

"Her mother came back and cried, hoping that we can call the shots, circle your father, your grandfather wants to ask what's going on, but I stopped him, your father is back home now, naturally he is in charge of the affairs of the family, and our foreign family is not involved." Mrs. Bai took a stand, and she naturally stood on the side of her niece unconditionally.

She also knows some things about the Zhou family, and there are some rumors outside, although Zhou Xiwan is also the niece of the Bai family, but she can't compare to Xiya, and she does that kind of embarrassing thing, let alone care about her, the Bai family doesn't have such a shameless daughter.

"Grandmother, do you know? My favorite thing to watch is the cat catching the mouse, which is very interesting, the cat catches the mouse, and it will not kill it at once, but will tease it, catch it and let it go, until the mouse can no longer escape, and I do the same thing. Zhou Xiya didn't hide it.

"Girl, can I know what it is for? Is it because your aunt has robbed you of your mother's position? "The old lady wondered why her niece hated the Bai family so much.

"I don't have such a small belly, if she and my father really love each other, I only have blessings, but ...... Grandmother, don't ask me anymore, I don't want to say it yet, when the time comes, I'll tell you all, do you believe me? I'm not acting recklessly. Zhou Xiya knelt on the old lady's lap, with hatred and sadness in her eyes.

"Well, grandmother doesn't ask," the old lady thought in her heart.

"Girl, didn't you say to go out with Ling girl? Then go now, it's dark early, you go early, lunch is ready outside, the second year of junior high school, my grandmother is waiting for your father and daughter to come. The old lady touched Zhou Xiya's head and reminded.

"Okay" Zhou Xiya left.

When Zhou Xiya came out, the old lady asked her grandmother, who had been with her all her life, "What do you see?" ”

"Miss Biao has something on her mind, since the first time the old slave saw her when she just came back from the border pass, she found out, but she didn't dare to mention it to your master, so as not to worry about you." Mama said that the master's body had not been very good before, and she was afraid that she would worry about it again and hurt her body.

"You, I don't know, you can hide it from me, Ya'er is like this, it must be something that the Bai family has done, or Ya'er can't hate her so much, but when Ya'er left, she was only three years old, what does such a young child know? And she has been at the border all these years, and she has never come back, she is said to have nothing to do with the Bai family, you go and check what happened ten years ago, is there something we don't know, if the Bai family really did something, I will definitely not let her go. The old lady was fierce.

"Master, do you mean Miss's death?" Mama's eyes widened, didn't Miss die of asthma? At that time, the old man did not save the young lady's life.

"It's better not to, I just know that there is no hatred in the world for no reason, Ya'er, this child has a good heart, there is no reason, she will not frame the Bai family mother and daughter step by step." The old lady has lived all her life, and she has never seen or experienced anything.

"Yes, the slave will go to check, but it's been more than ten years, and some of the previous clues may have been broken a long time ago, and if you want to miss something, I'm afraid it's not so easy." Mama was a little worried.

"I also know, but if I don't check, I'm always uneasy, Xiu'er was too painful before she died, her death hit me hard, I didn't think much about many things, I've been confused all these years, and now it's time to come out." The old lady had tears in her eyes, she was her most precious daughter.

Zhou Xiya said to her aunt, and her aunt let her go, and she and her cousin came to the skating rink on the outskirts of the city, which is a place for people to skate on the frozen lake, which not many people play on the ice.

"Cousin, this skating rink is the most fun, not only the ice surface is stable, but also the people who come to skate are organized to compete, and what kind of figure skating is interesting." Bai Huiling is a frequent visitor here, and this skating rink is much more fun than just skating on the lake before.

"Really? Figure skating? Zhou Xiya is curious, what other tricks are there in skating?

"You know what's going on when you see it, I didn't know that skating could be so beautiful, the cooperation of two or more people, skating with dance movements, it's just an art." Bai Huiling paid the money and brought Zhou Xiya in.

met a lot of acquaintances inside, Bai Huiling greeted them one by one, Zhou Xiya saw the people she was familiar with in her previous life, and she could only pretend to be strangers and did not take the initiative to step forward.

"Xiya? You're here too? I haven't seen you in a few days. Li Aoxue slid over on skates and seemed very happy to hold Zhou Xiwan's hand.

Can she not be happy? Dugu Jin proposed to Zhou Xiya in front of the emperor before, then this marriage is a certainty, Zhou Xiya can't rob Xiao Jingqing from her, she is naturally very happy, without Zhou Xiya as an opponent, she can be much easier.

"Follow my cousin around, I didn't expect to see you here." Zhou Xiya was a little embarrassed, thinking of Xiao Jingqing's confession to her before, she seemed to be a little afraid to face Li Aoxue, but thinking that she now had Li Mu, she was calm in her heart. (To be continued......)
