119. Counteroffensive (1)
The tea is overflowing, and the mouth is fragrant.
Xu Shi said: "I don't know what the specific reason is, but the Xu family has been passed down from generation to generation, and this generation is already seven generations, no matter how huge the family is, it is only three generations of wealth, the Xu family can continue to this day, there must be something extraordinary, Xu Gongzi is a talent, and he is a good candidate for the seventh girl." ”
The Xu family either doesn't act as it seems, or the Xu family has a good family.
Xianyun subconsciously leans towards the former.
"It's really suitable, the family background is simple, maybe the eldest girl will not look down on it, after all, the family background is much worse than that of Jing Qihou." Seeing Xu's sigh, Xian Yun vaguely comforted a few words.
Qinghua came in and said with a smile: "Mother Hao came here just now, saying that the seventh aunt is back." ”
The Seventh Master is generally not like this, there must be an urgent matter, Xu Shi hurriedly urged: "The Seventh Master may have something important, you hurry back and take a look, and thank the Seventh Master for the tea by the way." ”
Xianyun nodded obediently, blessed.
Xian Yun went directly to the study, and when Qi Ziyin had something important, he always liked to think in the study.
When I entered the door, I saw Qi Zaiyin writing quickly, and Xianyun took a light step and stood sideways.
After a while, Qi Ziyin put down his pen and ink, raised his head and asked, "Here, this is Xu Guanren's letter, you can also take a look." "A yellow envelope was tucked between the dark knuckles.
Xu Guanren? Mo is not Xu Gongzi's father, Xu Gongzi inherited the official position, his father is at home for the elderly, in order to show respect for him, the world calls him Xu Guanren, and his wife is called the wife of the official family.
After reading it in one go, Xian Yun was happy in his heart, Xu Guanren intended to marry them. And not the Jingqi Marquis Mansion.
It seems that the banquet on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival can be done or not, as long as the Xu family takes a fancy to the seven girls, even if the eldest girl behaves well, it will be in vain.
"The seventh girl is only thirteen years old this year, won't it be too early?" Although she also wants to settle this family business early. But the meaning of Xu Guanren's letter is that he wants to get married as soon as possible, so that he can spread the branches and leaves of the Xu family. The Xu family is passed down from one line to another.
"Xu Gongzi is not young, it is normal to be anxious, and when the New Year is over, he will be fourteen, and the lady is worried, so she can discuss with the Xu family." Qi Ziyin looked at her with a smile, tender as water.
Xianyun's face was hot, and he skimmed his face. The food point that kept circling the handkerchief sold the waves in her heart.
Qi Ziyin came up, and a strong male smell came to his nose.
Although he was used to his hugs, he still didn't know where to put his hands, so he simply grabbed his arm, as if he was encouraged. One turned, he had sat down, and she sat on his lap.
Turning her head, she happened to meet a pair of deep and translucent eyes, and the deep affection in her eyes seemed to be swept by a wave, and she wandered in them.
Delicate and crimson, full of spring breeze.
He looked at her who was at a loss and struggling, and there was a warm current in his heart, and then he laughed softly: "The lady is so cute." ”
As she spoke, her fingers lightly touched her sideburns.
This time Xianyun's face turned even redder. It's comparable to a red-hot shrimp.
Under the shame, Xianyun's mind was blank, and he only felt a trace of sweetness in his heart.
Satisfied, he hugged Xianyun, who covered his face with his hands, and said: "The invitation of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lord Ning also invited me to participate together, and bring the seventh sister with me when the time comes." Xu Gongzi also went. ”
Xianyun snuggled in his arms and whispered, "Okay." ”
Suddenly remembering something, Xian Yun continued: "Have the second master and the second lady been invited?" ”
"The second grandmother also wants to go, the Mid-Autumn Festival reunion, add a few more people, Lord Ning shouldn't be disgusted."
"It should be no problem, the second master has been invited, and the virtuous concubine has a prince, although the prince of the concubine survived, but the head was affected, I came back on the day, I went to see, I was afraid that when I grew up a little more, I would see that it was abnormal, and I was still not crying or making trouble, whether I was hungry or full, I was silent, hey...... "With his medical skills, he can only do this, so the concubine has a grudge against him, and even with Xianyun.
Now that Concubine Xian has won the prince, the concubine is very stimulated, looking at the white and smooth ground in front of her, thinking about it, and asking: "If you have the opportunity to see Xu Yan, persuade her more, it is really pitiful to be alone in the palace." "I went to be angry with him at the beginning, and every time I think about it, I always feel sorry for Lord Xu, who was raised and raised.
Xian Yun raised his eyes and looked at each other, and nodded lightly: "I saw her once a long time ago, and her body seems to have been bad since she gave birth." ”
"What fell during childbirth, coupled with the tangled knots, made me lose a lot of weight." Qi Ziyin recalled the appearance of seeing the concubine that day, and sighed again, why did it wither early when she should have spent so many years.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Xianyun wore a black gold cloud embroidered shirt with a pair of hollow carved crystal hairpins, and carried the seven girls to Princess Ning's courtyard.
Prince Ning likes to be quiet, this banquet is just to meet his wife's lively preferences, he just needs to be there to meet the occasion, so he chose to hold it in another courtyard.
The eldest girl is dressed in a dress, looking like a lot of blooming peonies from a distance, looking closely, wearing a red wisp of gold and a hundred butterflies wearing a flower cloud satin skirt, the bell sleeves reveal the jade hand, and the gold inlaid jade bracelet on the wrist is bright and pure, very eye-catching.
"It was given to the eldest girl by the eldest grandmother, I heard that it was given to the eldest grandmother by Concubine Hexian, it is not a loss of craftsmanship in the palace, it is really not ordinary." The second grandmother whispered to Xianyun with envy and acid.
The bracelet is indeed different from the bracelets seen on the market, and the eldest girl only takes it out on important occasions, which shows that she is also very precious.
It's just that today's things are probably going to disappoint her, last time she took the initiative to steal the limelight from people, and today there are many noble women, many of whom have a unique craft.
When I entered the courtyard, I looked at the girls, and the girls were sparse, obviously early.
The second grandmother simply dragged Xianyun to a relatively remote pavilion, and sent the maids around her to control the wind.
Seeing her eyes shining, Xianyun guessed that she must have wanted to find out what was wrong from her, so she preemptively said: "There are many people here, be careful." ”
The second grandmother frowned, Xianyun's voice was as light as a breeze, and Nunu said, "Don't worry, I know." I just wanted to ask about the sachet. ”
It's about the craftsmanship of the seven girls.
"How's it going? My mother never wanted me to know. Squinting dissatisfied.
The second lady was afraid that the second grandmother would not be able to hide the matter after she found out, but she didn't expect this matter to make the second grandmother even more curious and unbearable, but I was afraid that if the second lady hadn't intentionally sent her outside to inspect the Zhuangzi, she would have come to her early to ask for clarification.
The second grandmother sometimes blurts out when she is really happy. Sometimes he is very intelligent and knows how to forbear.
It didn't hurt to tell her, and Xianyun motioned for her to bow her head. With his hand arched over his mouth, he whispered: "I have seen the sachet embroidered by the seven girls before, and the craftsmanship is very good, I have never seen the female craftsmanship of the maids in the big girl's house, but the second lady is very attentive to the teaching of the seventh girl." ”
The second lady has always liked embroidery, and she has been carefully taught for many years, but she has not seen any improvement in her skills. Later, when I got older, I gradually lost my heart, and the second grandmother recalled the radiant expression of the second lady that day, and it was obvious that she cherished her talents.
Come to mind. The second grandmother couldn't help but cover her mouth and snicker.
"Yun'er, so you're here." He Shuixin waved towards Xianyun with a smile, and in the blink of an eye, he had come to the pavilion.
He Shuixin engaged a family affair three months ago, someone in the man's family died, and he needed to keep filial piety, so the marriage was delayed, and He Shuixin was dressed much more plainly than usual, a milky white elegant gentleman orchid lace skirt.
Xianyun thought of the time when the second wife died, and the family was in a mess. Qi Ziyin failed to keep the great filial piety for the second wife, so he went to the march. There are many regrets left in my heart.
"What are you thinking, you are thinking so much, I can't accompany you later, and the princess is here." He Shuixin looked apologetic, and the princess she said was Princess Duanpin, who was better with her, and He Shuixin married a son of Princess Duanpin's mother's family. The official worships the four products and has just returned to the dynasty with the army.
Xian Yun looked at it with resentful eyes, and He Shuixin's cheeks were slightly hot, Qinglian moved, took Xian Yun's hand and said, "Yun'er, don't let that sister be happy, but you can rest assured that I will do something." ”
Princess Ning's daughter is good at Danqing, her painting is good, expressive and realistic, and He Shuixin's good handwriting is also rumored in Beijing.
"Okay, I know that my sister is the most capable Yun'er, and I will invite my sister to be a guest next time." Xianyun held He Shuixin's hand and nodded at her.
He Shuixin also nodded lightly, and greeted the second grandmother again before leaving.
"The daughter of the He family is really magnificent, who can marry your cousin is really a blessing." The second grandmother was rarely full of praise, and her eyes unconsciously followed He Shuixin.
Xian Yu looked at it, a touch of red flashed in her eyes, not who the big girl is, today's nobles are all carefully dressed, many of them are dressed up for color, and the big girl is obviously the most outstanding among them, regardless of her bearing or appearance.
Xian Yun saw at a glance that the eldest girl didn't know what means she wanted to use to win a better reputation today?
Princess Ning held such a banquet, on the one hand, to satisfy her lively heart, so that on the other hand, she wanted to give her daughter a forehead to paint to her heart's content, and to be accompanied by people of the same age, although her daughter Danqing is quite talented, but not good at communicating with people, especially people who don't know anything about Danqing.
"Isn't this the last time I didn't learn and didn't know how to come, and I still dare to come today, thinking that this is where it is, and I dare to come and spread wild." A shrill voice came.
"People have a good family background, of course you can come, unlike you need to study hard to learn this and that to come, if you are not convinced, you can also find a parent like that."
"Huh...... What nonsense do you say, how can we choose our parents, and if we don't raise our godfathers, maybe people mean to do so. ”
"If I were her, I would have been hiding at home a long time ago, and last time, where would I still have the face to come out......"
……
Such a bitter and mean remark reached Xianyun's ears word for word.
"They ......" Xian Yun hurriedly grabbed the second grandmother and whispered to her: "The dog bites you, do you want to bite back?" ”
The second grandmother was dissatisfied and hurriedly said: "But they deceive people too much!" "She's heard about it last time.
"You can't let them spread rumors like this, can you just leave it at that?" The second grandmother lowered her voice and pulled Xian Yun's shoulders and said.
"Naturally, you can't let them go, the dog bites you, and naturally you will be beaten back." Xianyu winked at the second grandmother and smiled.
The second grandmother understood and was excited. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendation and monthly passes, and your support is my biggest motivation. )
