Xu Jiayi took a closer look and looked at this cousin.

I saw that the cousin girl was about to touch the cardamom years, wearing a goose-yellow juan yarn and gold silk embroidered dress, her hair was combed into a hanging bun, and her apricot eyes and peach cheeks looked delicate and lovely.

"Come on," the old lady Chu, who was still with a straight face just now, instantly smiled, and beckoned to Xu Yao enthusiastically to let her sit beside her.

Xu Yao got up in response, and she didn't know if she was intentional or she really didn't see Xu Jiayi next to her, so she sat directly on the low couch next to Mrs. Chu and snuggled up to her and behaved coquettishly.

Old Mrs. Chu almost hugged Xu Yao and spoke, Xu Jiayi sat on the side and looked a little suddenly, and somehow thought of her own grandmother, Mrs. Su. In the past, when she was still in Shangshu Mansion, her grandmother was also so kind to coax her and hurt her.

Xu Jiayi was in a trance, when she heard the voice of Old Lady Chu ringing in her ears, but it was not to her, but Xu Yao.

"Why are you here now, the sun is poisoning outside, and I carefully sunburned myself."

"Auntie, don't worry, the girl has an umbrella and won't be sunburning." Xu Yao said softly, "I heard that my aunt's side has been busy, Yaoyao thought that my aunt was tired all day, so I came over to pinch my aunt's legs, so that you could relax." My aunt is tired, but it will make Yaoyao feel distressed. ”

Old Lady Chu's eyes were about to smile, and she patted Xu Yao's hand and said, "You, you are used to saying something nice to coax me." No matter what the words are, they come out of your mouth and are very pleasant. ”

"Thanks to my aunt for not disliking my nephew's stupid mouth, it's ......" Xu Yao said as she pinched Old Lady Chu's legs.

Xu Jiayi sat quietly on the side and didn't interject, but she thought in her heart that the reason why Mrs. Chu called her over at this time was to hang her aside, and wanted her to see the gap between her and Xu Yao, and how favored she was in front of Mrs. Chu?

But as long as I don't feel embarrassed, it's you who are embarrassed.

Xu Jiayi sat in place with some indifference, listening to their aunt and nephew talking and laughing, without any anger and displeasure at all.

After the aunt and nephew talked for a while, they finally noticed Xu Jiayi who was sitting on the side.

"This is ......" Xu Yao blinked her eyes and glanced at Xu Jiayi in some surprise, and suddenly smiled as if she remembered something, "This is the girl from Yanjing City, right?" ”

If it is a mother-in-law who knows the courtesy, it is time to introduce it at this time, which is right, this is your cousin-in-law who just entered the door, hurry up and call the talent. However, Old Lady Chu only raised her eyes lightly, glanced at Xu Jiayi without being salty, and said "um" and then there was no more.

Old Mrs. Chu didn't introduce her, and Xu Yao only blinked and stared at Xu Jiayi.

"That's right, I just came from Yanjing City, the one that the emperor personally gave to the prince. My surname is Xu, and my girlfriend's name is Jiayi. Although you and I are of the same age, and we have the same surname, you still have to call me a cousin. Xu Jiayi stepped forward and took Xu Yao's hand and praised it, and as she spoke, she took off a four-butterfly flower-wearing jasper bracelet from her wrist and pushed it onto Xu Yao's wrist.

Xu Yao was a little embarrassed and wanted to refuse, but at that time, Xu Jiayi had already let go and sat back on the embroidery pier, so she could only smile awkwardly, although she called someone, she didn't call "cousin", but called, "Sister Jiayi." ”

The smile on the corner of Xu Jiayi's mouth became deeper and deeper, and she nodded with a smile.

Next, Mrs. Chu faced Xu Jiayi in front of Xu Yao and put her mother-in-law's money. It's just that no matter what the old lady Chu says ugly, Xu Jiayi responds with a smile, not only in a generous manner, but also with respect for the old lady in and out of her words, so that people can't find out what is wrong.

The old lady Chu, who originally wanted to use the topic to play, choked up and couldn't get up or down in her heart, although she wanted to say something more, but thinking about Xu Jiayi's attitude, she felt that it was boring, so she simply waved her hand and directly let Xu Jiayi go back, leaving only the cousin Xu Yao to wait.

After coming out of Rongyang Hall, Xu Jiayi couldn't help but take a deep breath.

Cuiyun and Yuanxiang are not broken-mouthed, but they feel aggrieved for Xu Jiayi. After returning to the maple garden, Xiangqiao looked at Xu Jiayi, and then at the two of them, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

After Xu Jiayi entered the house, Xiangqiao stopped Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, and said with some confusion, "What's the matter?" The face is so ugly. The lady just went back to the yard, why did she go out again? Where have you been? ”

Yuanxiang has a soft personality, and although she is angry at this time, she can't say anything ugly, so she glanced at Cuiyun and motioned to her. After Cuiyun received the signal from his eyes, he told him what had just happened in Rongyang Hall. Although it was a complaint, Cuiyun did not add the slightest amount of oil and vinegar, and only recounted what happened in Rongyang Hall one by one.

Despite this, Xiangqiao couldn't help frowning when she heard this, and was a little unhappy with Old Lady Chu's attitude. But in the end, thinking about his identity, he glared angrily at Cuiyun and Yuanxiang, "Okay, don't go on endlessly, Madame hasn't said anything yet, where is it your turn to get the two of you to speak, no matter what you think in your heart, hold it for me, if you let me listen to such words in the future, be careful about the skin of the two of you." ”

The two immediately bowed their heads, with some trepidation on their faces.

"Don't go in and serve Madame yet." After Xiangqiao left this sentence, she frowned and left to find Mama Hua. When they first arrived, they knew that nothing was as clear as what Mama Hua knew, and some things still had to be asked to Mama Hua to know.

On the first day of the wedding, Xu Jiayi was busy all day, and at the end of the day, after being called by the old lady to Rongyang Hall to set up rules, Xu Jiayi, who returned to Fengyuan again, was really tired and almost paralyzed on the soft collapse. Yuan Xiang and Cuiyun pinched her shoulders and beat her legs for her in distress, so that she could relax and relax her body.

Under the relaxation of body and mind, Xu Jiayi originally wanted to take a nap on the soft collapse for a while and then get up to look at the yard, so as to visit her future residence, but as soon as she closed her eyes, she fell asleep deeply. Yuan Xiang was pinching her shoulders and feeling that Xu Jiayi hadn't made a sound for a long time, and when she looked sideways, she looked at Xu Jiayi, who was already asleep, and hurriedly pulled Cuiyun's sleeve, made a silent gesture, and pointed at Xu Jiayi.

Seeing this, Cuiyun nodded, took a thin blanket and covered Xu Jiayi, and the two maids withdrew lightly.

Xu Jiayi fell asleep like this, and when she woke up again, it was already late at night, the sky outside was completely dark, and there was no light in the room, and it was pitch black.

Cuiyun, who was guarding outside, heard the sound and came in and held the lamp, "Girl...... Oh no, it's madame. Madam, the kitchen is still warm with food, and the slave maid will let them send it over? ”

After a simple dinner, Xu Jiayi went to the cubicle to bathe before lying back on the bed, her eyelids fell down from sleepiness, and she said loudly while yawning, "Cuiyun, you can also go down and rest, it's been hard for the past two days." ”

"It's not hard, it's all what slaves and maids should do." Cuiyun shook his head repeatedly.

Xu Jiayi pretended to have something in her heart, and although she didn't say anything on her face after changing the environment, she was secretly a little unaccustomed to it. So I didn't wake up the next day. After waiting for Cuiyun and Yuanxiang to serve her and freshen up, and pick out a water-blue satin embroidered pleated skirt to change, Xu Jiayi had time to look around the room.

The bedside table, wardrobe, dresser, desk, calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, and the porcelain vases and coral on the shelves are all made according to her furnishings in Shangshufu, and there are more men's things in comparison. Looking at the brand-new room, Xu Jiayi nodded with great satisfaction. Then she suddenly thought that if she had placed the room like this by herself, would Chu Changfeng be unhappy when she came back?

But this thought was only turned around in his mind and was thrown behind by Xu Jiayi, Chu Changfeng hasn't come back yet, if he doesn't like it after he comes back, just put it back again.

After breakfast, Xu Jiayi and his entourage went out of the Maple Garden, led by Mama Hua, and began to visit the Anping Marquis Mansion from the Maple Garden to the east.

The area of the Anping Marquis Mansion is not large compared to those family mansions in Yanjing City, but it is not small. The front yard and the back yard add up to about thirty or forty acres of land.

The outer courtyard is where men deal with government affairs, in order to avoid suspicion, Xu Jiayi did not go to the outer courtyard, only walked around in the inner courtyard, and most of the morning has passed and even a tenth of it has not been finished, but Xu Jiayi is too tired to move, and glanced at the rest

part, secretly sighed in his heart.

Xiangqiao held Xu Jiayi's arm, asked her to lean her body against her to rest for a while, turned her head and asked Mama Hua, who was silently wiping the hot sweat on her forehead, and asked out loud, "Mama Hua, how many more haven't you finished reading in the east?" ”

That's right, they've been on the road all morning, and they haven't even seen a lot of the east side.

"There are a few courtyards in front of this Chaoyang Pavilion, and there is a peach forest on the other side, and the flowers are beautiful when they bloom in spring, and Mrs. can go there to enjoy the flowers next spring."

Xu Jiayi only felt that her head was too big when she heard it, and the pride and ambition when she went out in the morning had long been forgotten at this moment, and her face was full of lovelessness. Cuiyun, who was following on the side, saw the embarrassment of his wife, and hurriedly found a step for Xu Jiayi, "Madam, the slave maid is almost done shopping today, why don't you go back to the room to rest for a while, and then look at the rest tomorrow?" ”

Xu Jiayi nodded when she heard this, she really couldn't walk.

After returning to the house, Xu Jiayi was quite emotional.

"That's it, I can't finish shopping in this house, and after a long time, I will naturally become familiar with it, so we don't have to go to the house today." Xu Jiayi took the cup handed over by Xiangqiao, and drank two cups of tea in a row, and then said weakly.
