The Xu family visited
Because Shen Huai was his top boss, Qiao Bai was so aggrieved that he didn't dare to respond, so he had to respond.
On the way back, Shen Huai listened to Qiao Bai's muttering all the way.
On the side that Qiao Bai couldn't see, Shen Huai was holding the corners of his mouth and smiling happily.
Sure enough, one's own happiness is based on the suffering of others.
By the time Shen Huai saw Gong Shushu again, her mood had calmed down a lot, and she was talking to Shu'er with a cup of hot tea.
"Miss." When Shu'er saw Shen Huai, she stood up and greeted her.
Shen Huai smiled at Shu'er, took out a delicately crafted hairpin from his sleeve, and handed it to Gong Shushu.
"I saw this hairpin on the street in the capital, and I bought it when I saw that it matched you. If you like it, just take it with you, and if you don't like it, just leave it there. ”
Gong Shushu smiled and took the hairpin handed by Shen Huai, "Ah Huai sent it, I naturally want to hide it well, how can I be willing to leave it in the corner and cover the dust." ”
"Hey, why do you treasure the things that the girl gave you, but you don't see the pendant I gave you." Qiao Bai stood aside and was unhappy when he heard the conversation between the two, and kept muttering.
Gong Shushu glared at him angrily, "The pendant you gave is so ugly, how can I take it out." ”
"......" Qiao Bai.
Qiao Bai, who fell silent again.
Well, it's all his fault, he shouldn't have given such an ugly jade pendant.
After laughing again for a while, Shen Huai went back with Bu Shao and Shu'er.
Looking at the sky, it was time for Qi Rin to come back.
I don't know what delicious food Qi Rin will bring back today.
Inexplicably, Shen Huai had a vague concept of home in that small courtyard.
The wooden wheels crushed the bluestone slabs and gurgled forward. The afterglow of the setting sun hit Shen Huai's face, dragging out a long figure and staying on the streets of the capital.
As soon as Shen Huai stepped into the courtyard gate, he smelled a sour smell.
Her eyes lit up, and Shu'er pushed her towards the main hall.
Qi Rin was already sitting upright at a rectangular table, and in front of him was a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs with an attractive color.
Just looking at it made Shen Huai's index finger move.
When Qi Rin saw Shen Huai coming, he consciously got up to take Shu'er's job and pushed Shen Huai to sit down at the table. and served her a bowl of rice.
Shen Huai felt that Qi Rin had become more and more proficient in serving her recently, and Shu'er was about to face the threat of unemployment.
As soon as Shen Huai picked up the small soup bowl in front of him and drank a small sip of fish soup to warm her stomach, Qi Rin sandwiched a chopstick's sweet and sour pork ribs and put them into her bowl.
In this meal, Shen Huai almost ate a whole plate of sweet and sour pork ribs.
If it weren't for Qi Rin's fear that she would eat too much and accumulate food, she wouldn't let her finish it if she desperately stopped her.
"Eat this." As he spoke, Qi Rin took a plain green vegetable and put it in Shen Huai's bowl.
Shen Huai pursed his lips and used chopsticks to push the bleak green vegetable aside.
She wants to eat meat! Eat meat!
Qi Rin looked at her small movements and didn't speak, turned around and served her a bowl of winter melon soup.
Shen Huai looked at the bowl of winter melon soup, his eyes widened.
She's going to drink fish soup! Delicious fish soup!
Shen Huai, who was unwilling to drink winter melon soup and eat green vegetables, put down his chopsticks in protest.
Qi Rin stared at Shen Huai for a while, and in the end, Qi Rin was defeated first. withdrew the winter melon soup in front of Shen Huai and drank it himself. turned around and served Shen Huai another bowl of fish soup and a small piece of pork ribs.
"It's the last piece, you can't eat any more."
Shen Huai gladly accepted.
After eating, a few maids and maids rushed in and picked up the scraps on the table.
At this moment, a fluffy unknown creature sneaked in with the crowd.
Shen Huai suddenly frowned and looked down at her ankles, she always felt that something was rubbing her feet.
After seeing a certain creature lying at her feet, Shen Huai's face changed drastically.
How could this dog still be left in the small yard.
Qi Rin saw that Shen Huai's expression was wrong, and hurriedly got up and went over to check.
Then I saw a fluffy dog pulling on Shen Huai's calf, sticking out his tongue flatteringly.
"Qi Rin." Shen Huai felt his voice tremble, "Take it away." ”
When Qi Rin leaned over to take the dog away, a certain dog jumped nimbly, escaped from Qi Rin's embrace, and scurried onto Shen Huai's knee.
When Shen Huai felt the white dog on his knees, he was thinking about whether he should faint.
In the end, the dog was still carried away by Qi Rin with a black face.
As soon as Shen Huai returned to his room, he couldn't wait to let Shu'er boil water to wash.
She herself changed her clothes.
In the following days, Shen Huai had a rare birthday for a few days, and stayed in the small courtyard to enjoy the flowers and feed the fish.
Sometimes when the interest comes, I will go to see some maids in the house to cut paper and hang lanterns.
On the day before Chinese New Year's Eve, the Xu family siblings suddenly came to the door with gifts.
When Shen Huai received the news, he was sitting by the windowsill, looking through a miscellaneous book in the sunlight.
"Go and invite them to the main hall, and I'll be there at once." Shen Huai put down the miscellaneous notes in his hand and instructed the maid who came to report.
The maid answered and went out with her head down.
Shen Huai called Shu'er and pushed herself to the main hall.
She and the people of the Xu family haven't seen each other for many days.
Her adoptive mother is the daughter of the Xu family, so the Xu family takes care of her in every way on weekdays, and always thinks of her in everything.
Especially Xu Ranyue, the elder sister, treats her even better, and Xu Zhuoqing, the twin brother of Xu Ranyue, who often makes trouble, hugs her on the side.
It's just that after complaining, Xu Zhuoqing still treats her very well.
Earlier, Shen Huai knew that the Xu family deliberately wanted her to marry into the Xu family, but the world made people, and she didn't get her wish.
Shen Huai collected his thoughts, tidied up his clothes and walked towards the main hall.
Xu Ranyue and Xu Zhuoqing were already waiting there.
There are also a lot of gifts on the sides of the two.
"Cousin, cousin." Shen Huai saw the two of them and called affectionately.
Xu Ranyue looked at Shen Huai happily, turned over and got up from her seat, took Shen Huai's hand and said a long list of words with a long sigh.
Xu Zhuoqing, who was sitting next to her, couldn't pull it even if she wanted to.
"Xu Ranyue, you can pay attention to your image, this is outside, not at your own home."
Hearing the voice of a certain hanger Langdang behind her, Xu Ranyue rolled her eyes, "Who said that I am not in my own home anymore, isn't Ah Huai's home my home?"
"Xu Ranyue, you can have a snack. This is not only my cousin's home, but also the courtyard of the prince of Qi. "Xu Zhuoqing has been pinching Xu Ranyue since he was a child, and when he speaks, he is-for-tat.
But the relationship between the two of them is very good.
