CHAPTER XIII
Seeing that the time was almost up, Shopkeeper Fang said goodbye to the old lady and the Zhao family, and was led out of Shangshu Mansion by the maid.
Zhao glanced at the sky outside, estimated the current hour in his heart, and turned his head to ask Mama Zhao behind him, "Are you awake?" ”
"Xiangqiao hasn't let anyone say it yet, do you want the slave to take a look?"
Zhao thought for a moment and replied lightly, "Hmm." ”
Mama Zhao bowed her head, and was about to turn around when she heard the old lady stop her, "If you are still asleep, don't make any noise about her, if you wake up, let her come over for lunch." ”
Mama Zhao nodded in response, "Eh." ”
Xu Jiayi had a nightmare at night, and fell asleep again when it was almost dawn.
When Xiangqiao went in to see her in the morning, she saw that she was sleeping deeply, and felt sorry that Xu Jiayi didn't sleep well, so she told the maids in the courtyard not to quarrel with Xu Jiayi, and sent someone to Wan'an Hall and the main house to report the news, and the girl would come later today to ask for peace.
In fact, the old lady is not a person who likes to make rules, and she doesn't need people from the house to come to the house every day to say goodbye. But the two daughters-in-law of Zhao and Qian are filial, and if they have nothing important, they will always go over every day to talk to the old lady. Although Xu Jiayi doesn't go every day, she is thoughtful, and if something is delayed, she will always send someone to explain.
By the time Xu Jiayi woke up, it was almost noon.
"It's so late? Don't wake me up. Xu Jiayi looked up at the sky outside, quite surprised.
"The girl didn't sleep well last night, and when she came in the morning, she saw that the girl slept soundly, so she wanted her to sleep more." Xiangqiao heard the sound and brought a basin of water to Xu Jiayi to clean her face, and waited for Xu Jiayi to rinse her mouth, "Just now, the old lady sent someone to pass the word, saying that lunch will be placed in Wan'an Hall, and if the girl wakes up, she will go over to have a good time." ”
"Is everyone where Grandmother is?"
"Yes!" Xiangqiao nodded, and while combing Xu Jiayi's hair, she replied, "The eldest lady and the second lady are here, as well as those from the Cui family, but Miss Yun is not there." ”
"Sister Yun is not with her eldest aunt? The eldest aunt said that she was going to find a teaching mother for Sister Yun these days, and she was quite busy, and I didn't dare to disturb Sister Yun. Even if she wants to hold a banquet in Wan'an Hall, Sister Yun should also go. ”
Xu Jiayi was chattering to herself, Xiang Qiao quietly pursed her lips and smiled when she saw it, and she didn't stop in her hands, but after a while, she had already combed Xu Jiayi with a double bun, and changed her clothes for Xu Jiayi, and the master and servant left the courtyard gate of Jiaxi Garden.
Qian suffered from the cold and coughed non-stop two days ago, and he was afraid that he would give the old lady a sick breath, so he specially asked the maid who was waiting next to him to come over and say goodbye to the old lady.
When the old lady heard that Qian was sick, she asked Mama Su to visit her in the second room, and brought some supplements, asking her to take care of her body, so that she didn't have to come over to talk to her in the next few days, so as not to get worse.
So there are a few more relatives in the house, and it was Asaba who told her.
As soon as he was in good health, the Qian family went straight to Wan'an Hall, and wanted to ask the old lady about the situation, but he didn't expect that the main master was here, but she was a little surprised.
After some words, the Qian family also had an understanding of the situation of the three Cui families.
As soon as she stepped into the courtyard gate of Wan'an Hall, Xu Jiayi heard laughter coming from the room, vaguely mixed with the voice of a girl.
Xu Jiayi couldn't help but be stunned, this voice didn't sound like her cousin's.
I heard that the relatives who came yesterday lived in Shangshu Mansion, and there were two children with them, could it be them?
Although she thought so in her heart, Xu Jiayi's footsteps did not stop.
The maid guarding the door saw Xu Jiayi's figure and had already opened the door curtain, and said inside, "My cousin is here." ”
Hearing the sound, several people in the room looked over, Xu Jiayi didn't seem to notice it, and as soon as she entered the door, she opened her hands and threw herself into the old lady's arms, and called "grandmother" sweetly.
"Huh." The old lady happily responded.
The old lady was old, and Xu Jiayi was afraid of pressing the old lady, so she only hugged and withdrew from the old lady's arms, first asked Zhao and Qian to say goodbye, and when she saw that Wang Yunxiu was not there, she specially asked.
"Your sister has been in trouble lately," Qian covered her mouth and said with a gloating smile, "Your eldest aunt invited a grandmother from the palace to teach her etiquette, but this grandmother is dutiful and strict, I heard that after the class for the past two days, she was carried back to the room by the maids to rest." ”
"Sister Yun is so miserable?" Xu Jiayi patted her chest with some fear, "Fortunately, I don't have to go to class." ”
But depending on the situation, I won't be able to see Sister Yun for a while.
Zhao glanced at Xu Jiayi's gloating face, "Don't be too happy, when you are two years older, you will also have to study with Sister Yun." ”
"Huh?!"
Xu Jiayi pouted a little dissatisfied, sighed silently, and made several people cry and laugh with her pretending to be old-fashioned.
Cui Shi didn't notice Xu Jiayi at first, and she didn't see it until Cui Qing next to her pulled her sleeve and gave her a look.
After a glance, I found that the material of the dress on Xu Jiayi's body was the clothes cut from the material sent by the shopkeeper a few days ago. I have to say that Zhao's vision is really not bad, this material is worn on this little girl, it is really a pretty and colorful little girl, clear and exquisite.
Thinking of this, Cui's remembered the bag of silver, and instantly felt pain again.
Although it is not his own money, but it is spent from under his own nose, just thinking about it, Cui's heart is distressed.
"Yiyi, let me introduce you," the old lady said with a smile and pointed at Cui's, "This is your aunt." ”
Xu Jiayi raised her eyes and looked at Cui's seriously, and then raised a bright smile, "Hello aunt!" ”
"Eh......" Cui Shi hurriedly stood up and responded, a little embarrassed to squeeze his hands, when they first met, Zhao Fenfen gave a pair of bracelets to his two girls, and now she has seen the junior, but she, the elder, can't get a decent meeting gift.
Although even if there were, she was reluctant to give it.
But what I heard and saw from the maid's mouth in the past few days probably knew the customs of Yanjing City. If she didn't know anything like when she first arrived, she wouldn't feel embarrassed.
Now in full view, Cui's face is still blushing.
However, the others didn't notice what Cui Shi was thinking at all, because the old lady just introduced it, then stretched out her hand and pointed at Cui Qing next to her, and introduced, "This is your cousin Cui Qing, who is ten years old this year." is older than you and Sister Yun, and your Sister Yun will also call her cousin. ”
Xu Jiayi looked over, and saw a girl with a dissatisfied face standing there, and when she saw her coming over, she instantly raised a smile and looked at her with a smile.
Tut!
This cousin doesn't look like he's getting along very well.
Xu Jiayi secretly thought in her heart, but she still greeted with a smile on her face.
"This is your ......," the old lady said here and paused, then turned her head and asked Cui, "How many months was Xin girl born?" ”
Before the old lady finished speaking, Cui immediately answered, "I was born in August." ”
The old lady smiled when she heard this, "Yiyi was born in June, two months earlier than Xin Yatou, so Xin Yatou should be called Yiyi 'sister'." ”
Cui Xin was a little scared, but she was very happy to see her little friend of the same age, tugging at her sleeve and calling softly, "Cousin." ”
"Huh!" Xu Jiayi smiled with crooked eyebrows, and the pear vortex at the corner of her mouth loomed.
Cui Xin immediately fell in love with this good-looking cousin.
Xu Jiayi also felt happy about this, because with this cousin, she was no longer the youngest girl in Shangshu Mansion!
"When I first entered the house, I heard that there was a beautiful sister in the house called Yiyi, and I saw it today. Yiyi is really beautiful today, not only the clothes are good-looking, but even the people are also captivating the country and the city, so cute to look at makes people happy. Cui Qing looked at Xu Jiayi with a smile, touched Xu Jiayi's head very happily, and pulled her to talk about the west.
Xu Jiayi didn't want to deal with this cousin in her heart, but it was really hard to refute her face, so she could only say a few words to her from time to time.
Seeing this, Cui Shi smiled and said, "Old lady, you see that the relationship between these two sisters is really good. ”
The old lady glanced sideways, and when she saw Xu Jiayi looking at herself as if asking for help, she couldn't help but purse her lips and snickered, but she rescued Xu Jiayi out of the voice, "Yiyi, is your body better?" Xiangqiao said that you had a nightmare last night, didn't you fright? ”
"Well, I'm much better, grandmother, look ......" Xu Jiayi said as she turned around in front of the old lady, and nodded seriously at the end, "It's nothing at all." ”
"That's good." The old lady patted the back of Xu Jiayi's hand, her face full of love.
"By the way, there is something I almost forgot to tell my mother," Zhao changed his words, paused and said, "Old lady Mu is 60th birthday, Jiaqing Bofu sent someone to send an invitation over, old lady, do you see if our family is going or not......"
"What did Mingyuan say?"
Zhao replied, "What the husband means is that he doesn't come forward, just let me go, but I still listen to my mother." ”
"That's what my husband meant." Qian nodded and added.
"In that case, do as they say. I don't like to move around when I'm old, so you can just go with the two of you. There were a lot of people and things that day, so I didn't bring a few brothers, so I let them go to school in Guozijian and bring Sister Yun and them with them. ”
"Old lady, see if you can also bring the two of Qing girl and Xin girl," Hearing this, Cui's eyes rolled, and he immediately stared at the old lady, "Don't worry, these two girls are obedient." ”
Hearing the mention of herself, Cui Xin hurriedly shook her head and refused, "I'...... I don't want to go ......."
Cui Shi hurriedly turned his head and glared at Cui Xin angrily, so frightened that Cui Xin stopped his voice, biting his lip and not daring to say anything more.
