Cui Qing nominally called everyone to come to reward the lotus, but Xu Jiayi felt that things were not so simple. But that was none of her business, and she wasn't interested in speculating on her mind.

Although everyone present was smiling on their faces, they each had their own careful thoughts in their hearts.

The place they were going to was called a pavilion, but it was actually a water pavilion, built on the edge of the pond. Although the weather has been hot lately, the wind on the edge of the pond is stronger than in other places, and it is cool to blow. There is a large tree next to it that happens to shroud the water pavilion in shadow, and it is indeed a rare place to go on a hot summer day.

When I arrived at the water pavilion, as soon as I sat down, a maid served tea and snacks.

Mu Huan picked up a cup of tea and put it on the tip of his nose and sniffed it lightly, took a tentative sip, his eyes lit up, "What kind of flower tea are you brewing in this water, it smells very fragrant, and the taste is good." ”

"It's Xinyihua." Cui Qing was very satisfied when she saw her joy, and this feeling of being affirmed made her a little fluttery, "Xin Yihua has the effect of detoxification and beauty. Now I drink it in the summer, and I can cool off the heat. If you like it, I'll ask the maid to wrap two packs for you to take back and drink. ”

Cui Qing said and glanced at the maid beside him.

Seeing that Cui Qing was so knowledgeable, Mu Huan's face looked better, and those who came today were not as good as her, so they naturally wanted to respect her and coax her, except for that Xu Jiayi.

Thinking of this, Mu Huan glanced at Xu Jiayi fiercely with a cold face.

Xu Jiayi didn't raise her eyelids, lowered her head and drank her own tea, ignoring Mu Huan completely. But such a look made Mu Huan even more angry.

"This place is elegant, not only cool, but also smelling the faint fragrance of lotus flowers." The girl of the Zhang family is the most non-existent of the few, but it is rare to speak out loud at this time.

"I look at that pink lotus flower, it's good, you go and pick it for me." Glancing at the girl of the Zhang family, Mu Huan stretched out his hand and pointed to a budding flower on the edge of the pond, and commanded the maid who followed beside her.

The buds are still some distance from the shore, and it is not easy to reach them directly, and it is not easy to pick them. However, the maid beside Mu Huan didn't dare to refute, and retreated after a glance.

Xu Jiayi suddenly stood up, "Cousin, I suddenly remembered that there was still something to be done, so I left first." ”

"I'm going to leave just now, this ......" Cui Qing was about to say something when he was interrupted by Mu Huan, "People don't want to stay with us, they can leave if they want to." ”

"The ancients had clouds, lotus flowers have a noble character, and have the reputation of 'out of the mud but not stained, clear ripples but not demons', which is indeed worthy of our study." After Xu Jiayi finished speaking, she no longer paid attention to Cui Qing behind her, turned around and left.

Seeing Xu Jiayi leaving, Cui Qing's tense body couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, the hand hanging between his thighs slowly tightened, his nails were deeply sunk into the flesh but as if he didn't feel pain, he gritted his teeth and said, "Xu Jiayi, you wait, I'm not happy, and you don't want to be happy." ”

"What does she mean by this, who is she referring to Sang scolding Huai!"

"Miss Mu, don't be angry first, Miss Xu, she didn't mean that......"

The noise behind him gradually became quieter.

Xu Jiayi walked around in the direction where the maid beside Mu Huan had just left. Seeing that the maid looked left and right, she lowered her head and pulled up her trousers, and slowly groped her way to the lake. Xu Jiayi glanced at the lotus flower that was about a meter or two away from the shore, and suddenly said when the maid was about to wade into the water, "Are you going to go directly into the water to pick it?" ”

Suddenly hearing the voice of someone else, the maid was so frightened that she retracted her feet and looked back. Seeing that it was Xu Jiayi, she hurriedly leaned over and saluted, "I've seen Miss Xu." ”

"Are you going to go into the water?" Xu Jiayi didn't answer the maid's words, and asked her question again.

The maid hung her head and replied "yes" after a while.

"There is a lot of silt in this pond, and the water is not shallow, so I'm afraid it's dangerous for you to go on like this." Cuiyun immediately replied, "What's more, your clothes will definitely get wet when you go into the water, how will you change them later?" ”

The maid bit her lip and bowed her head silently, of course she knew this, but it was just her own girl's temperament......

Xu Jiayi glanced sideways at Cuiyun, "Go and ask Ah Fu to come over." ”

"Yes."

When Cuiyun left, Xu Jiayi looked at the maid and paused before speaking, "Ah Fu is a man, you put on your shoes and socks first." ”

Seeing that the maid didn't move, Xu Jiayi added again, "Ah Fu knows the water, let him go into the water to help you pick it later, you just wait on the shore." ”

Hearing this, the maid understood what Xu Jiayi meant, thanked Xu Jiayi, and slowly put on her shoes and socks. looked at Xu Jiayi silently and said, "Miss Xu, my girl speaks straight, if there is anything that offends Miss Xu, please don't take Miss Xu to heart." ”

Before a cup of tea, Cuiyun had already brought Ah Fu over. Seeing that Mu Huan's maid took the lotus flowers picked back to the water pavilion, Xu Jiayi turned around and left. This side is not far from Wan'an Hall, Xu Jiayi simply turned around and went directly to Wan'an Hall.

is getting closer and closer to Wang Yunxiu's wedding date, and the dowry or something has to be put away. Mrs. Su has been busy checking what is in her private vault these days, and she plans to choose a suitable one for Wang Yunxiu to add makeup. There are happy things to be busy, Mrs. Su has been in much better spirits in the past two days, and she doesn't feel tired after being busy all day.

Although Mrs. Su is not a noble girl in Yanjing City, she has been in Yanjing City for so many years, and she has saved countless treasures in her hands. On weekdays, she doesn't bother to take care of these things, and she leaves them to the people below. Now I want to save a dowry for my granddaughter, but I have spent a lot of effort to take over these things again.

Seeing Xu Jiayi coming over, Mrs. Su hurriedly put down the booklet in her hand, asked those maids to stop and stand aside first, don't hurry to clean up, looked at Xu Jiayi and said, "Yiyi, you came just in time, I was about to ask Mama Su to find you." Go and see if you like anything, and take whatever you like. ”

After finishing speaking, he buried his head in reading the booklet in his hand, and whispered something to Mama Su from time to time.

Over the years, her grandmother has also rewarded her with a lot of things openly and secretly, and she can see that her grandmother is happy at the moment, so she chooses one at random according to her mind and lets Cuiyun take it. Alone, he walked to Mrs. Su and glanced at the booklet in her hand.

Sensing that there were people around her, Mrs. Su turned her head slightly and saw Xu Jiayi, and caught a glimpse of a box that Cuiyun was only holding in her hand, Mrs. Su was a little displeased, "Why did you pick a bracelet, pick more." ”

"One is enough, grandmother, you don't know, you have given a lot of good things over the years." Xu Jiayi laughed and hugged Mrs. Su's arm and was cute, "What's more, grandmother, the things you have here are so good, I'm afraid that people will be remembered if you wear them out." ”

"Which girl in Yanjing City wears something that is not top-notch, and my grandmother's things are nothing." Seeing that Xu Jiayi had no intention of choosing again, Mrs. Su simply went over to choose by herself.

Looking at this bead flower, she felt that it was suitable and stuffed it into Xu Jiayi's arms, and when she saw that Bu Shao felt good and stuffed it into Xu Jiayi's arms, Xu Jiayi had already been arranged clearly before she could react. Looking at the box in her arms that might fall at any time, Xu Jiayi hurriedly said, "Enough, grandmother, it's really enough." ”

Mrs. Su turned her head and glanced at Xu Jiayi's arms unsatisfactorily, and when she saw that it was indeed a lot, she nodded and withdrew her hand, and asked Mama Su to help Yuanxiang tidy things up, and take them back to Jiaxi Garden directly later.

Xu Jiayi breathed a sigh of relief, she was really afraid that her grandmother would stuff all these things into her.

"How can a girl dislike having too much jewelry." Old Mrs. Su raised her hand and nodded Xu Jiayi's eyebrows, and shook her head helplessly, "It's been easy to be a girl in the mansion for a few years, and you don't know how to cherish it." ”

Other people's girls have always liked these gold and silver jewelry, and I don't know who her family's temperament is, but they don't care about these at all. If you don't fix it for her, she will never bring it up herself.

"Grandmother......" Xu Jiayi handed the things in her arms to Cuiyun, and she pulled Mrs. Su's arm coquettishly, "Isn't this a grandmother who worries about these things one by one?" If I am all on my own, then isn't my grandmother idle? ”

"Co-author, you're still thinking about your grandmother."

Xu Jiayi laughed, rolled and sold cutely to make the old lady laugh constantly, and left Xu Jiayi for dinner before sending people back.

Mrs. Su didn't think that she needed to hide her granddaughter's clothes and jewelry, so she directly sent Mama Su to send the things to Jiaxi Garden first. Mama Su hasn't returned to Wan'an Hall yet, and the people in all the courtyards in the house have received the news.

The people in the other courtyards were fine, even the pregnant young lady Hai didn't feel jealous. The old lady subsidizes her granddaughter with the things in her own private house, there is nothing wrong with it, she can give it to whomever she wants, and she does not pay the bill from the public school. Besides, the old lady used to send good things to her.

The only people who feel unbalanced in their hearts are Cui Qing and Cui Shi. Although Cui Shi was unhappy, he didn't dare to go directly to the old lady to make trouble, so he could only keep chattering in Cui Qing's ear. Cui Qing was already unhappy, and he was angry when he heard his mother chattering endlessly, "It's okay for you to say a few words, if you don't accept it, go to the old lady and say it, what's the use of saying it here." ”

Cui Shi was stunned by Cui Qing's sudden voice, and silently stopped silently and didn't say anything more.

Seeing Cui's cowering appearance, Cui Qing was even more upset. If she had a good mother, she wouldn't have to work so hard for herself as she does now.

Cui Shi knew that he had dragged down his daughter and failed to give her a good background. But this matter is not something she can decide, she still hates her mother for not letting her come from a famous family.
