Wang Ling had been married for a few years and had not seen his daughter-in-law Hai's stomach move, so the old lady who wanted to hold her grandson day and night stared at her stomach when Hai came to ask for peace, and was so ashamed that every time Hai came back to ask for peace, he tried his best to reduce his sense of existence, so as not to let the old lady chatter.

The second Wang Jing had already set a wedding date, but the woman's parents wanted to keep her for a year at that time, so they postponed the marriage date by one year. Who would have thought that the woman's grandfather had to keep filial piety for three years after his death, so if he dragged it out like this, Wang Jing is now twenty years old, and there is not even one in the house.

Just thinking about it, the old lady felt sad.

"By the way, fill in some head jewelry for several girls, and ask the embroidery girl to step up the production of a few new clothes, and the expenses will not be from the public middle school, but from my warehouse."

When Zhao heard this, he immediately became anxious, and hurriedly replied, "How can this work, how can you let your mother break the bank, daughter-in-law ......"

"It's so decided, just treat me as a grandmother, and give a little heart to their juniors." The old lady waved her hand and directly interrupted Zhao's words, and the final word was finalized.

Zhao opened his mouth and wanted to say something more, but he heard Xu Jiayi's voice coming in from outside the door, so he closed his mouth and looked at the door with a smile.

"Here they are." When the old lady saw Xu Jiayi coming, she hurriedly asked Mama Su to move an embroidery pier for Xu Jiayi. After Xu Jiayi greeted the Zhao family, she thanked Mama Su before sitting on the embroidery pier, holding Mrs. Su's hand and asking, "Grandmother feels okay today?" ”

"Good," the old lady smiled and nodded, "Grandmother is all right." ”

Because she was sure that Xu Jiayi was going to the flower viewing banquet, the old lady patiently told Xu Jiayi over and over what to pay attention to. Xu Jiayi nodded in agreement from time to time, looking at the old lady's eyes seriously, making the old lady speak more and more energetically.

Seeing that Xu Jiayi was coming, the Zhao family was not good at talking to the old lady about the family affairs of a few daughters, and when he saw that the maid over there had already set up dinner, he said that he would have dinner first, and talk while eating.

After dinner, seeing that the eldest aunt and grandmother had something to say, Xu Jiayi first said goodbye. After leaving Wan'an Hall, he did not go back to Jiaxi Garden directly, but stood at the gate of the courtyard and waited for Zhao.

About a quarter of an hour later, I saw Zhao come out, and without waiting for Zhao to ask, Xu Jiayi gave a general account of the situation of going to Xu's mansion today. Generally speaking, the outer room is pregnant again, and then asked Xiangqiao to draw up a dowry list when her mother got married and go to the Xu Mansion to collect money, as much as she can collect, and it must not be cheap for the Xu family.

Zhao frowned slightly, saying that Xu Jiayi didn't need to handle the rest of the matter, and she would send someone to deal with it.

Seeing Xu Jiayi's tired face, Zhao gave two more words of advice, and sent her back to the house to rest first.

Soon it was the day of the eldest princess's flower-viewing banquet, and Xu Jiayi went to bed early the night before, afraid that she wouldn't be able to get up early this morning. When she was woken up by Cuiyun, Xu Jiayi was still dreaming, opened her eyes slightly, rubbed her eyes, glanced at the sky, and slowly closed her eyes, "What time is it?" ”

"Girl, it's already three o'clock, hurry up." Seeing Xu Jiayi squinting and seeing that she was about to fall asleep again, Cuiyun hurriedly pushed the person and whispered, "The girl didn't sleep enough to make up for sleep after she came back from the princess's mansion, and it would be too late to get up at this time." ”

In the past, the old lady felt sorry for a few girls, and she had already waived the girl's morning and dusk. Several girls have always slept until they wake up naturally, and the time to get up so early is really rare.

Xu Jiayi replied vaguely, and lay on the bed for a while before letting Cuiyun help her up and sit in front of the dresser. Although Xu Jiayi got up at this time, she still couldn't help yawning from time to time, looking sleepy, obviously not sleeping well.

But after sitting for a while, the person was much more sober.

Yuan Xiang couldn't help but smile secretly when she saw Xu Jiayi holding her eyelids in a daze, and while combing Xu Jiayi's hair, she looked at the white-skinned and beautiful mirror in the bronze mirror and praised sincerely, "The girl is so good-looking." ”

Cuiyun nodded again and again, the girls in the house did not look bad, but she wanted her to say that her girls were the best-looking, and they were good-looking from childhood to adulthood.

Xu Jiayi couldn't help laughing when she saw the two of them looking proud, raised her hand to wipe the physiological tears overflowing from the corners of her eyes because of sleepiness, and yawned again.

Cuiyun raised her hand and took a hairpin of mutton fat jade from the dressing box and handed it to Xu Jiayi, "Girl, do you want to wear this today?" ”

Xu Jiayi opened her eyes and glanced at it, and nodded, "That's it." ”

Xiangqiao lifted the curtain from the outside and entered the house, and saw that several people were still talking and laughing, although Xu Jiayi's makeup was good, her clothes had not been changed.

Seeing this, Xiangqiao's face couldn't help but sink, "The eldest lady has sent someone to urge, what are you still doing in a daze." Yuan Xiang, you go and bring the girl's new water-red wide-sleeved fairy dress and put it on for the girl. Cuiyun, you can go and see that everything to be prepared by the government is in order. ”

"Yes." When the two girls heard Xiangqiao's voice, they immediately looked busy with their own looks.

"Xiangqiao, you don't have to scare them all the time." After the two maids walked away, Xu Jiayi slowly teased and said, "Look at the two of them, seeing you is like a mouse seeing a cat." ”

Xiangqiao heard the meaning of Xu Jiayi's words, and while cutting her hair, she carefully checked her makeup, and was relieved to see that there was nothing wrong.

"They are still young at two years, and they will follow the girl for a lifetime in the future, and Xiangqiao can't help the girl with anything else, so she can only teach the girl a good lesson for the girl, and the girl will be happy with it in the future."

Xiangqiao is her mother's dowry, after accompanying her mother to the funeral, the old lady was ready to return the deed of sale to her, and then prepared thirty taels of silver for her to let her out of the house, and it was not in vain that she served the Wang family wholeheartedly.

But Xiangqiao was reluctant to leave, refused the old lady's grace, and begged the old lady to let her serve with the girl. The old lady took pity on her, so she was approved, and transferred her to Jiaxi Garden to be a housekeeper.

Xiangqiao is indeed a clever and shrewd person, and has managed Jiaxi Garden in an orderly manner over the years.

Even the two maids, Cuiyun and Yuan Xiang, were two of the top-notch children selected by Xiangqiao from the dozen or so carefully selected little maids who were trained in the yard when she was a child, and put them to serve Xu Jiayi.

Although these two girls are still young, they are smart and clever. Cuiyun is steady, good at judging the situation, and it is good to give some advice when she follows the girl. Yuan Xiangzui is a little stupid, but she is careful and rigorous, and she is relieved that the girl's small warehouse, food and clothing are served by her.

As long as she trains these two girls well, even if she is not by the girl's side in the future, the two of them will definitely be able to take good care of the girl.

"Xiangqiao!" Xu Jiayi didn't like to hear Xiangqiao's dejected words, in her heart, Xiangqiao was like an elder, one of the people she trusted the most.

Xiangqiao smiled, not wanting to upset Xu Jiayi, and said with a smile, "The girl doesn't like to hear it, Xiangqiao won't say this in the future." ”

Today I was going to the eldest princess's mansion as a guest, and Xiangqiao didn't dare to be careless, so she followed in person, and brought Cuiyun in case of emergency. Helping Xu Jiayi out of Jiaxi Garden, Xiang Qiao said, "Girl, the eldest lady, the second lady and the three girls have been going to the second gate for a while, we have to go quickly." ”

Xu Jiayi pursed her lips and nodded, and after hurrying all the way to the second gate, she found that there was no one there, only the maid beside her aunt was guarding there in early summer, and when she saw them, she saluted and said that the others had already gotten into the carriage first, and let Xu Jiayi go directly to the gate of the house.

Xu Jiayi went to the gate of the mansion again, and as soon as she walked to the door of Shangshu Mansion, she heard Wang Yunxiu's voice coming, "One by one." ”

Following the prestige, Xu Jiayi saw Wang Yunxiu, who lifted the carriage curtain and stretched out his head to call herself, and hurriedly walked over and stepped on a low stool to get into the carriage. After Xiangqiao helped Xu Jiayi into the carriage, she followed the rest of the maidservants and walked all the way behind the carriage.

The two aunts and cousins, even Cui Qing and Cui Xin were already in the carriage. After getting into the carriage, he sat down next to Wang Yunxiu, and Cui Xin sat opposite. Xu Jiayi was a little embarrassed, "It's all my fault for getting up late, you've been waiting for a long time, right?" ”

"We've just arrived." Wang Yunxiu took Xu Jiayi's arm and replied, "It's still early, it's too late." ”

"Yes, yes, we didn't have to wait long." Cui Xin looked at Xu Jiayi with a smile and said, "Cousin, are you in bed again today?" ”

Xu Jiayi's face turned red, and it was really embarrassing to be laughed at by her younger sister.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about, if my sister hadn't called me, I would have almost not gotten up." Cui Xin glanced at Cui Qing, stuck out her tongue at Xu Jiayi, and said a little embarrassed.

Cui Qing glanced at Xu Jiayi, although she didn't say anything, there was a bit of dissatisfaction in her eyes.

They had come early, but they had to wait for her here, and the shelf was bigger than that of Madame. Cui Qing listened to them silently, with a secret hatred in his heart.

Although Xu Jiayi didn't pay attention to Cui Qing's eyes, she thought that this cousin was a little cute.

Since she was a child, every time Mr. Lin praised her twice when she went to school, she would glance at herself with her chin raised. Or when she has something rare and she doesn't have it, she will always come to her to show off, or say a few words that are not painful and scold Huai to stab herself.

But most of the time she was embarrassed by herself and didn't know where Cui Qing came from to persistently oppose her, Xu Jiayi sighed in her heart and quietly glanced at Cui Qing.

She wore a water-blue dress today, the hair on both sides was tied with a light blue hairband and hung behind her, and a long spike belt of the same color as the hairband was tied around her waist.
