When I arrived at the corridor of Lin'an Hall, I heard the hearty laughter of Mrs. Guo and the crisp voice of Xu Qiyun inside.

Xu Qidie was busy showing off the topaz bracelet she had just gotten, pulling Xu Qirong and Xu Qimoth and running into the house, scaring a group of maids and women who were busy shouting behind them to slow down.

Mrs. Guo is a particular person, and her food and clothing must conform to her identity everywhere. The golden furnace of the incense beast, the new jade gauze curtain, the multi-treasure shelves full of flowers, the curtain with butterfly wings, and the crystal clear bead curtains...... None of them are suitable for the elderly, but each one is expensive!

It can be said that the entire Xu family, the most valuable thing, was gathered in her house by Mrs. Guo.

I haven't seen this nouveau riche room furnishings for a long time, and at first glance, the corners of Xu Qirong's mouth twitched.

Mrs. Guo was crooked on the soft couch, and took a filial son made of jade and beat herself on the back. Xu Qiyun changed into a goose yellow skirt and sat at the feet of Mrs. Guo and laughed and funny!

When Xu Qidie pulled Xu Qimoth and Xu Qirong into the house, Xu Qiyun was talking about the key point, and seeing that the old lady was interested in listening, she glanced at the three sisters and continued.

Xu Qidie didn't care so much, relying on his young age, he threw away Xu Qirong and Xu Qimo's hands, and climbed on the soft couch of Mrs. Guo.

Mrs. Guo was afraid that her shoes would stain her newly changed rabbit blanket, so she hurriedly threw away the filial son in her hand and restrained Xu Qidie: "Where did you learn this unruly behavior?" ”

Xu Qiyun was interrupted, and he was already unhappy, but the culprit Xu Qidie naturally couldn't get a good place, and hurriedly said: "Seventh sister, you are not young anymore, how can this elder allow you to mess around!" Don't hurry down yet! ”

Xu Qidie saw that Mrs. Guo's face was not very good-looking, and she didn't dare to climb up again, so she stood up straight aggrieved, but when she thought of her topaz bracelet, she immediately became happy again, and stretched out her hand to Mrs. Guo on tiptoe: "This is the topaz bracelet that the fifth sister gave me, grandmother, do you look good?" ”

Xu Qiyun was annoyed, he didn't look at Xu Qidie's hand at all, and opened his mouth and said: "How can people like us be like those small families who are broken, the old ancestor is the old ancestor, what is it called grandmother!" The majesty of the ancestors is here! ”

When it came to Mrs. Guo's heart, she didn't like her grandchildren to call her grandmother like a common people's family.

Xu Qidie saw that Mrs. Guo looked at Xu Qiyun with satisfaction and nodded, although she was angry with Xu Qiyun in her heart, she still obediently changed her words: "Ancestor, look at Die'er's topaz bracelet, is it good?" ”

Mrs. Guo slowly looked at the topaz bracelet on Xu Qidie's hand, but she was startled. She originally thought that the child could take out something valuable, but when she saw it, she realized that this thing was really valuable!

This topaz is not an ordinary topaz, it is a kind of sea topaz that is abundant on the seabed of the East China Sea. Although it is abundant, it is difficult to mine, and only the mighty pearl diver can risk his life to get a little bit of it.

A few days ago, Huang Shiyan, the protégé of the second old lady Xu Jinxing, went to Beijing to report on his work, and Huang Shiyan's female dependents came to visit Mrs. Guo and gave Mrs. Guo a piece of forehead, and there was a sea topaz inlaid in the middle of the forehead. The painful expression of the daughter of the Huangshi Yan family, Mrs. Guo remembers it now.

The five girls actually sent a string of sea topaz bracelets to the seven girls!

Mrs. Guo's expression was a little subtle, but she thought in her heart that there were five girls who didn't know the goods, but the Shen family was really rich, and such a valuable sea topaz bracelet was given to the five girls to spoil!

Mrs. Guo forcibly let her eyes leave the topaz bracelet in the sea, and said to Xu Qidie: "Seven girls, you take it off, grandmother take a closer look!" ”

At this time, it is not an ancestor, but a grandmother.

Xu Qidie was eccentric, and immediately blurted out: "This was given to me by the fifth sister." She was afraid that Xu Qiyun would take a fancy to it.

Mrs. Guo listened to it in her ears and had another meaning.

Xu Qiyun saw Mrs. Guo's expression and knew that the bracelet was extremely valuable, and her heart was sour and jealous, seeing Xu Qidie like this, she immediately made an appearance of an elder to teach Xu Qidie: "Seventh sister, what are these words, can the ancestor still look at your little thing!" ”

Xu Qirong listened, covered his mouth with his hand, and smiled secretly.

Mrs. Guo was angry! didn't continue to let Xu Qidie take off the bracelet, turned around and glared at Xu Qirong: "You have seven sisters, what about the other sisters?" It's all girls from the Xu family, you can't take care of one or the other! ”

Xu Qirong choked, she is a six-year-old child, naturally she can give things to whoever she likes, where is the use of a bowl of water for each sister! What's more, the gifts prepared for each room have been sent to each courtyard.

Compared with Xu Qirong's shock, Xu Qimoth and Xu Qiyun were extremely happy, and they both looked at Xu Qirong with wide eyes.

Xu Qiyun also thought that he was humorous and "joked" Xu Qirong: "The fifth sister should not favor one over the other, it is worse than the seventh sister's bracelet, I don't follow." ”

Xu Qirong frowned, raised her eyes and saw Mrs. Guo smiling and looking, she was very angry, not that she was stingy and reluctant to give up things, but really, whether it was Xu Qiyun or Xu Qimo, she was extremely bad in her previous life. How can you repay virtue with virtue?

So he simply pretended to be nervous: "What should I do then?" I only have such a string of bracelets, and I have already given it to the seventh sister, and there is nothing else. Why don't I write to my grandmother and ask her to send a few strings? ”

Mrs. Guo didn't believe it: "Mrs. Shen gave you such a string of bracelets?" ”

Xu Qirong didn't explain the specific origin of this bracelet, and replied honestly: "No, there is also a string of red coral, which was just broken by me." ”

Mrs. Guo thought, this sea topaz bracelet is so valuable, and the red coral will not be much worse if you think about it. There was a pain in my heart, and I wanted to ask Xu Qirong if there was anything else, but I was afraid that I would do too much and it would not sound good to the ears of the fourth child.

I had to turn my head to the maid and say, "It's almost time, you go and inform the kitchen to serve the food." ”

Xu Qimoth was not very happy that he didn't get anything, but when he saw that Xu Qiyun didn't get it either, he didn't say anything. However, Xu Qiyun was very unwilling, holding Mrs. Guo's hand and being coquettish.

Mrs. Guo was also a little reluctant, so she asked Xu Qirong again: "Is it really gone?" ”

Xu Qirong pointed at Xu Qidie and said, "The seventh sister went to get it with Yu Qiu, is there anything else, just ask the seventh sister." ”

Xu Qidie actually didn't pay attention to whether there was anything else, and when she got the bracelet, she happily ran back to find Xu Qirong, but she got Xu Qirong's bracelet, and when she saw Mrs. Guo looking at it, she still testified to Xu Qirong seriously: "Ancestor, it's really gone." ”

Mrs. Guo was a little discouraged and stopped mentioning this stubble. lest the more you mention yourself, the more congested you become.

Mrs. Guo pays more attention to health preservation, except for a bowl of spicy deer breast with a fine porcelain bowl with gold lotus leaves, the others are relatively bland vegetarian dishes.

Among them, there is a fried lotus root ball, which Xu Qirong likes, and he ate half a plate in one go.

Mrs. Guo didn't care about the rules of eating and sleeping silently, and kept asking Xu Qirong what the Shen family sent when she left Yangzhou.

Xu Qirong's rules and etiquette were taught by Princess Pingtai in her last life. It's all dignified carved into the bones. As soon as Mrs. Guo asked, she had to put down her chopsticks, swallow the food in her mouth, and then reply dignifiedly.

Xu Qirong knew that if the Shen family didn't send anything, Mrs. Guo would definitely not believe it. Besides, there are so many maids and wives around her, as long as Mrs. Guo inquires, she can always find out.

Therefore, except for the large stack of silver tickets given by Mrs. Shen, Xu Qirong honestly explained.

Rao is like this, Mrs. Guo and Xu Qiyun are speechless. Xu Qidie and Xu Qimo are still young, but they didn't show anything.

Xu Qirong actually didn't feel good in her heart, in her previous life, she was blinded by appearances, and she always thought that Mrs. Guo was high, and her sisters and sisters were extremely arrogant. Relive a life, and find that everyone is just a layman. It's not even as hearty as a merchant like the Shen family.

Mrs. Guo asked clearly, and naturally it was not easy to let Xu Qirong hand it over immediately, after all, she was her uncle and grandmother, and there was still a layer in it.

What's more, it was all given to Xu Qirong and Xu Qijin by the Shen family, not to mention her uncle and grandmother, even Master Xu Si couldn't ask the two little girls for things.

Mrs. Guo thought about it in her heart and had an idea. With an idea, people are much calmer, and they regain their lofty appearance, and set up the rule of eating and sleeping silently. However, Xu Qiyun didn't feel very good in his heart, and his eyes were a little infiltrating when he saw Xu Qirong.

After eating, Xu Qirong excused himself for sleepiness and went back to his Fenghua Courtyard. As for Xu Qiyun's idea, she doesn't care!

Seeing the lights of Fenghua Courtyard from a distance, Xu Qirong's somewhat irritable mood gradually calmed down. No matter how unsatisfactory the days are, reliving your life is already earned, isn't it!

As soon as Xu Qirong came back, Yu Qiu hurriedly greeted him, and reached out to help Xu Qirong untie the overcoat he had put on when he went out.

Xu Qirong didn't take Yu Qiu with him when he went to Lin'an Hall, but brought Yu Xia, who was chubby and didn't go out of the yard on weekdays. Yu Qiu was so anxious that he couldn't do it, but he could only wait for Xu Qirong in Fenghua Courtyard.

Xu Qirong avoided Yu Qiu's hand, and raised his eyes to signal Yu Xia to unwrap his coat. Yu Xia didn't dare to speak, so she obediently helped Xu Qirong untie her coat and let the little maid take it.

Yu Qiu was so aggrieved that she was about to speak, but Xu Qirong said lightly as if she had just seen her: "Why haven't you left yet?" ”

Yu Qiu's heart jumped, it turned out that the master was really determined to drive her away! Frightened, he threw himself on his knees.
