Xia Sisi secretly gritted his teeth.

Mother was seized by the old lady some time ago, her life is not as moist as in the past, in the past, her monthly silver was not enough, and her mother would secretly subsidize her, and now Xia Rou's housekeeper has only ten taels of silver a month, and she went out to visit a jewelry store is not enough for her to buy a pair of earrings, she was already annoyed, Xia Zhiyun, a slut, also mentioned it in front of her, just to want her not to be happy.

In fact, ten taels per month is already counted as a lot among the ladies in Yan Jingzhong, but Xia Sisi is used to living a good life, and it is easy to go from thrift to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to thrift.

"The eldest sister is so smart, she will definitely get started quickly, if there is anything you don't understand, you can also ask Aunt Fang." Xia Sisi caught up and walked side by side with Zhiyun.

Zhiyun chuckled lightly and didn't answer, Xia Rou only felt a little embarrassed, she didn't like to talk to this sister very much, and occasionally she only answered a few words out of politeness, not because of how the concubine was, but she really didn't like Xia Sisi's style, and it seemed that she always had a pretentious smirk, which made her look a little uncomfortable, and she only replied lightly: "Hmm." ”

And Xia Sisi seemed to be angered by Xia Rou's appearance, in her eyes, Xia Rou always looked down on her, which only made people feel hateful, and she said: "Daddy used to praise my aunt for handling things decently, and the accounts were also handy, if the eldest sister has any problems, you can tell me and I'll go back and ask my aunt." ”

Oh, Zhiyun only thought it was funny, Xia Sisi really liked to show off Xia Qing's favor in front of them, she had already seen it clearly and didn't feel anything, but she looked at her sister, but she felt that her sister's expression was a little sad. She raised her voice: "Third sister, is this saying that my sister is not doing things properly?" ”

Xia Sisi immediately put on a panicked and innocent expression: "No, second sister, Sisi is just kind......"

Zhiyun sneered: "Good intentions? said that my sister is the daughter of the house, and she should ask her grandmother if she has something, and even ask an aunt for advice. ”

Doesn't she love to show off? Then she pulled out the identity that she couldn't say in her life, stepped on it hard, and threw it at her, so that she could see what she should be like.

Sure enough, she saw a trace of resentment in Xia Sisi's big innocent eyes.

"Okay," Xia Rou took Zhiyun's hand and walked a few steps forward, and said, "My aunt used to be a housekeeper, and my father hasn't continued since my mother passed away, but I recently heard my grandmother say that the big house doesn't look like a housemaster, and it seems to be intentionally ......."

The two walked farther and farther, Xia Sisi didn't listen to Xia Rou's other words, only heard Xia Rou's last sentence "There is no housewife, it doesn't look like it, it seems to be intentional...... What does it mean? Do you want to renew your father's strings?

No, absolutely not!

Father is mother's, she doesn't allow anyone to snatch everything from her mother, if she lets her father continue the strings, then her mother can no longer be righted, she still wants to be a young lady of the Xia family, she doesn't want to be a concubine for the rest of her life, the more she thinks about it, the more afraid she becomes, and she doesn't care about Zhiyun's cynicism at her just now, she has to hurry up and tell her mother.

Xia Sisi ran all the way to Aunt Fang's yard and shouted, "Mother, mother!" ”

Aunt Fang put down the comb in her hand and frowned: "Si'er, where have you forgotten your rules?" Since she was a child, she has asked Xia Sisi to abide by etiquette and understand the rules, because Xia Qing loves people who understand the rules the most, and she always cultivates Xia Sisi in the direction that Xia Qing likes, Xia Qing is a literati, then she teaches Xia Sisi to be talented, Xia Qing likes to listen to the piano, then she let Xia Sisi practice the lyre hard, she taught her to treat herself as a young lady, everything Xia Zhiyun Xia Rou has, there is never a shortage of her share, Mrs. Xia invited Xia Rou Xia Zhiyun to raise the grandmother in the palace, she also asked Xia Qing to let Xia Sisi go to learn, But now she saw Xia Sisi running sweating profusely, and there was no half of the rules, and she was angry.

"If your dad sees it, he won't like it. What's wrong with you lately, you're always frizzy. ”

Xia Sisi saw that Aunt Fang was training her, she had just been angry with Zhiyun, and she would be reprimanded by Aunt Fang, so she felt extremely aggrieved and shed tears. "Mother, you still say that I, my father is going to continue the strings, how can I be the concubine of the Xia family when the time comes!"

Aunt Fang's hand, which was still combing her hair in an orderly manner, suddenly stopped, and she sat up in shock: "Si'er, who are you listening to?" Is there a basis for this? ”

"Who else can I listen to, it was the big sister who said it, she was told to her by the old lady, I think it must be true, the old lady loves the big sister so much, she will tell her everything." Xia Sisi cried.

Aunt Fang slammed the white jade comb in her hand to the ground angrily! The white jade comb was instantly shattered into several sections.

She has been planning for so many years, step by step for the camp to get to where she is today, she doesn't just want to be a concubine! What she wants to do is the high-ranking Mrs. Xia, the eldest lady who is the housekeeper in this house!

And now, tell her that the master wants to continue the strings? Does this tell her that all the efforts she has made over the years have to come to naught?

She seemed to be about to bite her back molars, and the extreme resentment in her eyes gushed out, she poisoned the food of Shu's mother, Shu's mother, for what she wanted, Shu's little bit weakened, and others only thought that she fell ill and died after giving birth to Xia Zhiyun, she got rid of all the obstacles in her way, and took care of the back house conscientiously, just to let Xia Qing think of her good and straighten her up, a few years ago, Xia Qing seemed to have this idea, but for some reason, he said to her, It's not time to keep his name in the court, but now I heard that he wants to continue the string? No way, she's never going to let that happen!

"Si'er, don't cry, your tears are not for your mother, but for your father and others, Chunchan, you go and inquire if this matter is true?" She quickly calmed down, she can only listen to the situation first, and then make plans, "Si'er, when you enter the palace tomorrow, you must shine, let everyone remember you, as long as you do well, your mother will have more chips to trap your father, you must fight for your mother!" She looked at Xia Sisi with extremely high expectations in her eyes, almost crazy.

Xia Sisi saw her mother's appearance like this, she was a little cold, and shrunk her neck, but she still nodded heavily: "Okay!" I'm going to compare them to both! ”

And on the side of Yunshuiju, Ziyuan held her cheeks and asked Zhiyun: "Miss, tomorrow's palace banquet, the third lady must want to play the piano, I see that she has been practicing the piano recently, and she must want to be in the limelight." What do you want to perform tomorrow? ”

Bi Tao went up and knocked on Ziyuan's head: "Who is our young lady, she must be better than the third young lady, you don't have to worry." ”

Zhiyun only smiled and didn't speak, as for tomorrow, let's wait and see.

On the second day, Zhiyun got up early in the morning, although the palace banquet only started at noon, but she needed to get up and prepare clothes and everything she wanted to carry, and the Xia family also had to gather people to go to the banquet, and when they arrived at the palace gate, they would have to wait, and they would be released when the time came.

Today she wore a red cardigan wide-sleeved shirt, the lower skirt was a silk butterfly horse-faced skirt, revealing a slender white neck, a fallen horse bun on her head, a pearl dotted green step between the buns, the pearl pendant shook gently while walking, and she also had some makeup on her face, red clothes and white skin, delicate and not tacky, and she had the temperament of a high-ranking girl.

Bi Tao couldn't help but look straight at the salt and praised: "Miss is so beautiful, she will definitely become the focus of everyone at the banquet." ”

"Yes, yes, it's definitely better than Miss Three!" Aster chimed in.

Zhiyun smiled and said, "You two, you have to be cautious in your words and deeds when you enter the palace later, but you can't be like in the mansion." ”

"Slaves and maids are measured!" Bi Tao and Aster said in unison.

Zhiwan went to Lanxiang Pavilion to find Xia Rou, of course the two of them wanted to go to the gate together, Xia Rou is wearing a purple cross-collar dress today, the purple color is too heavy, and it is easy for ordinary people to look old-fashioned, but Xia Rou has fair skin, not only will not look old-fashioned, but she is decent and dignified, wearing a set of ruby head on her head, Huadian between her eyebrows, and a pair of jade bracelets on her wrist, and the whole person looks extraordinary.

"Sister, let's go, grandmother must be waiting for us outside." As he spoke, he pulled Xia Rou towards the door.

When they arrived at the gate, Mrs. Xia was already waiting in the carriage, and saw Xia Sisi standing in front of the carriage, as if waiting for the two of them to come.

Today's Xia Sisi is different from the two of them, Xia Sisi is wearing a jade-white tulle long skirt, with a jade belt tied around her waist, which looks slim and not full of hand, combing a flying fairy bun, and the decoration on her head is simple.

Xia Sisi bowed slightly, and his voice was soft. "Big sister and second sister, let's go, grandmother has been waiting for a long time."

At this time, because of the queue of carriages and guards, many people in front of the door were watching, and they heard that a young lady from the Xia family was going to enter the palace for a banquet today, and they all rushed to see the demeanor of the young ladies. When the common people saw Xia Sisi, they sighed that such a beauty should be a fairy in the world, so dusty and tacky. has been with the old lady for a long time, and it can be seen that she is very filial.

But when I saw Zhiyun and Xia Rou who came out later, I was amazed again, thinking that this is the young lady in a big family, with the nobility and pride on her body, it is really not that no one else, there are many little girls who secretly imitate the appearance of Zhiyun when she walks, but she can't learn all the temperament of a noble girl on Zhiyun.

Xia Sisi only felt that everyone's eyes were on the two sisters, and he unwillingly said such a sentence, thinking that Zhiyun would make the elders wait for a long time.

And Zhiwan suddenly cast a sympathetic look at Xia Sisi, covered her mouth with a handkerchief and said, "Third sister, why are you dressed so plainly today, don't you have good clothes to wear?" When you entered the palace today, you were dressed in white and too plain. My sister and I spent a long time for fear of neglecting the palace banquet, so that we could not embarrass the Imperial History Mansion. ”
