Chapter 240: Birthday Celebration (6)

PS: Thank you for the two peace charms of Sunflower889~~

In the middle of the night, the wind unconsciously rose, and even though the windows were closed, I heard a sound outside.

Zhen Xuan couldn't help but shrink her neck, and her fingers pulled the corners of the quilt, wanting to cover it more tightly.

Xia Yiqing beside her was already asleep, Zhen Xuan didn't dare to move much, and closed her eyes.

Obviously sleepy, but for some reason a trace of clarity suddenly flashed in his mind, remembering Xia Yiqing's words just now, Zhen Xuan's drowsiness woke up suddenly.

Just now, Xia Yiqing said "go with us", does that mean that she can also go to Beijing together?

Zhen Xuan was pleasantly surprised, she once said that she wanted to marry Zhen Lin, at that time Xia Yiqing said that he would arrange it, but how to arrange it, whether it was done accurately, Zhen Xuan didn't know, but she kept looking forward to it.

Until he really heard Xia Yiqing say this, he couldn't help but be excited, and his request was put in his heart.

Zhen Xuan really wanted to ask again, when will you leave? How long can I stay? What else do you need to prepare?

These thoughts are wrapped around my heart, like a little girl who has never been far away, if she really asks, she will definitely cause a joke. But my heart is sweet, and there is a smile on the corner of my mouth.

glanced at Xia Yiqing, who was breathing evenly, Zhen Xuan didn't want to wake her up because of this, so she suppressed those careful thoughts and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

On the second day, I was still in a good mood.

After returning from Changshengju, Zhen Xuan invited Gao's mother and asked her to tell Duan about Xia Yiqing's reply.

Gao's mother went in a hurry, and came back in the evening, smiling back. can go with the Xia family. Both Duan and Zhen Lin were very happy. They will quickly set the number of people and luggage lists, and the departure date will be set by the Xia family.

After Zhen Xuan said to Xia Yiqing, she was relieved, and when she was free, she rushed to the New Year's gift in the house.

Seeing that the palm screen was about to be completed, and the voice of the little maid greeting her from outside, Tao Aya went out to take a look, and said to Zhen Xuan: "It's the third lady who is here." ”

Xia Huqing didn't rush into the east room, and went to the middle room before coming in: "Sister-in-law." It's just November, so it's so cold. ”

Zhen Xuan smiled and pulled her to sit down: "Since you know that it's cold, why do you still walk around, what if you get cold?" ”

"I'm not so weak." Xia Huqing covered her lips and smiled, took the hot tea and took a sip, "Isn't it warm?" He went to look at the embroidery on the table again, picked it up and tasted it, "It's so good." ”

"How's your New Year's gift embroidered?"

Hearing Zhen Xuan's question, Xia Huqing frowned.

These days, Xia Huqing is preparing for the New Year's gift to the old ancestor and Mrs. Zheng, and has called Zhen Xuan to counsel a few times. The ancestors have embroidered the water lotus veil, which means the lotus seat of the Bodhisattva. What Mrs. Zheng gave was a picture of a pine crane, and her painting skills were also good.

"I'm halfway through the embroidery, and I always feel like there's something missing." Xia Huqing propped her chin, "Maybe it's like what my sister-in-law said last time, the color scheme is not bold enough." It's just that the lotus flower is the color of the lotus flower. "Let's just take out the handkerchief and look at Zhen Xuan.

Zhen Xuan looked at it carefully, the stitches were fine and neat, Xia Huqing's basic skills were quite solid, and then looked at the tone, the coral-colored petals on the water-colored satin were layer by layer, from shallow to deep: "I don't see anything inappropriate." The ancestors like to be plain, so it's just right. ”

Xia Huqing listened to Zhen Xuan's words, and then he was slightly relieved.

During these days, Xia Huqing walked diligently to Tianyi Courtyard, and Zhen Xuan faintly felt that she had something to say, but she didn't speak, and Zhen Xuan didn't want to ask too much.

Zhen Xuan was gossiping with Xia Huqing on the one hand, and on the other hand, she was about to collect the needle, and when she looked up, she glanced at Xia Huqing with a thoughtful look.

Could it be that what Xia Huqing wants to say is related to Tao Aya? It's just that every time she comes, Momo Aya is waiting inside, so it's hard to speak?

It happened that there was something to do in chess, so Zhen Xuan sent out all the people who were waiting, leaving only the two sisters-in-law.

"The third sister has something to say to me?"

Xia Huqing didn't expect Zhen Xuan to be so direct, and said, "Why does my sister-in-law ask like this?" ”

Zhen Xuan smiled and said, "But hurry up, they will all come back in a while, and you won't be able to speak again." ”

Xia Huqing's face turned red, pinched the handkerchief, and after hesitating, he said, "Actually, it's not me, it's the fourth brother." ”

Xia Jingqing? What can Xia Jingqing say to her?

Zhen Xuan was puzzled, and did not urge, waiting for Xia Huqing to continue.

"That's right. At the door of Linglong Pavilion that day, didn't my sister-in-law meet the fourth brother and a few of his classmates? Among them, there is a fifth master of the Qian family, who takes a fancy to Sister Taoya and wants to get it back. Qian Wuye mentioned it to the fourth brother a few times, but the fourth brother had no choice, and he didn't dare to tell the second brother, so he had to ask me to ask my sister-in-law. After Xia Huqing finished speaking, she glanced at Zhen Xuan cautiously, saw that she was already frowning, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be angry, I also know that this thing is inappropriate, how can it be so annoying, so it is difficult to talk about it the first few times." ”

Zhen Xuan pressed her temples and sighed: "You were also entrusted by the fourth uncle to ask a question." It's just that I don't know, this Qian Fifth Master wants to ask for my peach silk, what is the way to ask for it? ”

What's the deal?

Xia Huqing couldn't answer, when Xia Jingqing told her, she only felt inexplicable, what is the reason for begging other people's maids, what is the difference between such behavior and squirming? But in the end, it was entrusted by her brother of her compatriots, she vaguely responded to the opportunity to ask, but Xia Jingqing didn't say anything, and she didn't ask.

"Third sister, Tao Aya has been with me for many years, and I will never let her be wronged." Zhen Xuan took a deep breath, "Begging to be a maid, that's impossible; begging to be an aunt, not to mention that Tao Aya refuses to be small with others, and I am reluctant. When I go out of the house and be an aunt with someone, it is better for me to choose a housekeeper for her, and I will always stay by my side as a housekeeper in the future, and I can also do it for her if I am a little unsatisfactory. ”

Although Xia Huqing is quite loved by Mrs. Zheng and the Zheng family, she was born from Aunt Wen's belly, and she knows that it is not easy to be an aunt.

"Sister-in-law, I don't know what the fifth master thinks, the fourth brother is also because the friendship between classmates is not easy to push, since the sister-in-law has given an explanation, the fourth brother has also returned to the fifth master of Qian, and he has been thinking about Sister Taoyan in the province."

After Xia Huqing said this, he was embarrassed to sit for a long time, got up and went back.

Zhen Xuan was a little tired, leaning on the soft couch and closing her eyes to recuperate.

She remembered that when Xiao Zhenxuan was young, Tao Aya followed her, and since she opened her eyes in Qinghe Hall to now, for six years, Tao Aya has been thoughtful, and she has never been negligent in serving her.

Many years ago, they talked in the same bed and night, and Tao Aya expressed her heart, she didn't want to be a little little for her uncle, she just wanted to be like Mama Qin, to be a housekeeper and a housekeeper, and she could always serve by Zhenxuan's side.

Zhen Xuan didn't need to ask anymore, and knew that until now, Tao Aya still hasn't changed those moods.

Tao Aya followed her, doing the things of several people alone, suffering a lot, and calling Zhen Xuan to bully like that, and almost kidnapping people, who else can I tell if I am wronged.

Zhen Lin said last time that a few big girls can't stay for a few years when they are old, Zhen Xuan knows it in her heart, but she is still reluctant, and she wants to choose carefully, and she must choose a satisfactory one.

It's just that she doesn't have a plan yet, and some outsiders have taken a fancy to the maid next to her.

It's time to find a time to think about this with the two mothers.

Probably Xia Huqing was still thinking about this, and she was a little embarrassed to see Zhen Xuan at dinner in Fengyuan, and in front of the elders, there were some things that were not easy to say, so Zhen Xuan didn't talk to her more.

However, Xia Yiqing saw that something was wrong, and said to Zhen Xuan at night: "Did the third sister say something that made you unhappy?" ”

Zhen Xuan was in a wide coat, and was stunned when she heard this: "Why does the second master ask that?" ”

Xia Yiqing didn't answer, Zhen Xuan didn't make a sound, and after Tao Aya withdrew, she went to bed and said to Xia Yiqing: "It's for Tao Aya's business." ”

Xia Yiqing raised her eyebrows, as if puzzled.

Zhen Xuan told the matter, and finally said: "It's not that I want to refute the face of the fourth uncle and the third sister, it's just that the fifth master of Qian just saw Tao Aya once on the street, so he said what he didn't ask for, what kind of thing is it." Besides, if I want to go back and be small with him, I won't let Momo Aya suffer this grievance. ”

"The two of them can't push away and ask, since you won't agree, just forget it." After Xia Yiqing finished speaking, he blew out the lamp and left the account, "However, I have met that Qian Wuye a few times, he speaks and acts decently, not like the kind of gentleman who begs for other people's maids." ”

Zhen Xuan was lying in the quilt, looked at Xia Yiqing sideways, and asked thoughtfully: "What does the second master mean, the fourth uncle misunderstood the meaning of the fifth master?" The third sister said that Qian Wuye and the fourth uncle mentioned it a few times. ”

Xia Yiqing said lightly: "I guess I want to marry back, not to be small." ”

Zhen Xuan's eyes widened.

Wive?

This is even more surprising than what I said before.

The Qian family seems to be either a small official or a small businessman, and it is strange that a master can ignore the elders and ask someone else's maid to be his wife.

"Why did the second master guess so?" Zhen Xuan asked.

Xia Yiqing shook her head: "The head of the Qian family, the miasma of black smoke is the wife, and you have to weigh it more." ”

What is the specific situation of the Qian family, Xia Yiqing and an outsider can't know everything, vaguely knowing that although Qian Wuye is a son-in-law, his father died early, his mother and sister are frail women and children, and he is not happy with several aunts and aunts.

In the battle in the backyard, Zhen Xuan, a woman, can guess better.

The mother is weak, she can't get any benefits between the concubines, and she has to take advantage of personnel affairs, and it is not uncommon to oppress orphans and widows, plus the aunts left by her father, they have to sing big dramas every day.

In such troubled waters, if you want to ask Tao Aya to be a wife, is it because you see that Tao Aya has a spicy temperament, and can she help some?

Zhen Xuan pursed her lips, what is this! (To be continued......)
