Chapter 86: The Banquet (2)

Where is this son singing?

Yun Yichen thought very simply, although General Xiao didn't want to admit it, he was indeed his master, this is an indisputable fact. Although the relationship between the two is like a happy family, how can they have no feelings after three years of getting along. Now that he saw Mrs. Xiao and asked him to pretend that passers-by did not come forward to salute, he asked himself if he could do such a thing.

Xiao Yao didn't know what was happening in the hall, the sisters were teasing the parrot with Yuan Jing and teaching it to speak!

The Yuan family now has three young ladies who have not left the cabinet, and the two of them are accompanied by Yuan Jing, the cousin of Xiao Yuan's second uncle's family who has just turned ten, and there is also a twelve-year-old Yuan Min and eight-year-old Yuan Ying, who are the cousins of Xiao Yuan's eldest uncle and third uncle's family respectively, and the two of them are responsible for entertaining the young ladies of each family today.

"Let's talk about a Xiao Yuan is a good person." Xiao Yuan tried to tempt the parrot in front of him with the rice grains in his hand.

"Badass, badass." The parrot responded to her.

Xiao Yao was amused by this person, her sister is a little living treasure.

"Beauty, beauty." The parrot jumped up and down in the cage and screamed with joy.

The sisters were a little baffled by the parrot's sudden turn, what was wrong with it?

"Hehe, hehe......" Yuan Jing looked at the sluggish sisters, covered her lips and laughed, the expressions of the two, coupled with the cry of the parrot, who could not help but laugh?

"Miss Xiao, this parrot is calling you a beauty!"

The maid next to her came over with a smile and explained, this eldest lady of the Xiao family smiled so beautifully just now, look, even her own parrot praised her as a beauty!

"So that's what happened, haha, haha......"

Xiao Yuan didn't care if her sister would be angry, so she sat on the bench under the porch and smiled, twisting and twisting.

Is this considered being molested by a bird?

Xiao Yao approached the parrot, almost put his face on the birdcage, and said to the parrot inside: "You bird who doesn't learn well, let me hear your nonsense again, be careful to catch you out and roast and eat it." After saying that, he deliberately glared at it viciously.

"Oh no, no, the beauty is going to roast the bird." The parrot flew up and barked.

Now even the maid and the subordinate can't help laughing, the birds are funny, the people are also interesting, the Miss Xiao family is much cuter than some pretending to be reserved and the young ladies who are in a good tone.

"Ruyi, don't forget that there is still something to do today!" Hurry up and find a way to get out of here, I don't want to get entangled with a bird.

"Ah, what's the matter!" Tired of laughing, Xiao Yuan, who was about to collapse on the bench, asked in a daze.

"Fourth uncle, have you forgotten?" Xiao Yao wanted to say that she was looking at the beauty, but when she thought of the lustful bird next to her, she changed her words.

"Oh, oh, yes, it's a big deal, a top priority."

"Is there anything you guys are up to? Do you need my help? ”

Yuan Jing, the little master, is still very good, of course, if she can put away the undisguised smile on her face, she will be even more competent.

Xiao Yao and Xiao Yuan glanced at each other, this is not good, this is a housework belonging to the Xiao family, and it is not yet known to outsiders.

"Cousin, where will the ladies who came today play!"

"In the warm pavilion behind the small garden, if you want to go, I'll lead the way."

"Can you see the warm pavilion from the small garden?"

"It's better to stand in the pavilion in the garden, where you can see the whole pavilion."

"Isn't it cold in the pavilion right now!" Xiao Yuan thought that his sister was afraid of the cold, so she might as well not go.

"It's not cold there, because there is a rockery to cover it, and today the curtain is pulled up, and my grandmother is afraid that a young lady will be cold when she goes to rest, so there is a brazier!"

"Sister, let's go for a walk in the little garden." Xiao Yuan winked at Xiao Yao.

"I'll go with you!"

"I've been here for a few days, and I can find the garden, cousin, go and entertain the guests, and let the maid follow us."

"Well, it's not good." I was specially ordered to accompany my two sisters, and it would be rude to leave like this.

"Don't worry! There are maids, there are mothers-in-law, let's go shopping for a while and then go to the warm pavilion to find you, this is always okay. ”

"Well, don't stay in the garden too long, it's still winter."

"Thank you Sister Yuan for reminding us, we remembered." Xiao Yao responded that she didn't have much confidence in finding the fourth aunt, because she really couldn't imagine what kind of woman the fourth uncle would like. I'm more interested in finding a candidate for a second sister-in-law, but it's my future sister-in-law, how can I not look forward to it!

Xiao Yuan led Xiao Yao through the courtyard with a familiar way, and after a while, Xiao Yao was dizzy.

Fortunately, at this time, the garden has also arrived, and in the winter garden, I am afraid that the only thing that can be seen is the plum blossoms. A few trees of cold plums bloom proudly, and there are some bonsai and flower trees made of silk flowers next to them, which hide the depression of winter and add a bit of festive atmosphere.

"Oops! I forgot to find Mama Qian, she knows what is the name of the young lady who came today? Which official's family is it? If she's not there, we won't know each other! Xiao Yuan rubbed his hands in remorse.

"Do you know where this Mama Qian is?"

"She is on an errand in the warm pavilion, she specializes in placing snacks and fruits, and the fruit plates and snacks she puts out are particularly beautiful!" It's also very tasty.

Xiao Yao believes that her younger sister will know Mama Qian, and dim sum and fruits must have played a vital role in the middle.

"You go and sit in the pavilion in front and wait for me, and I'll be back in a moment." Maybe he was afraid of being teased by his sister, Xiao Yuan turned his head and ran away after saying this.

"Ruyi" Xiao Yao called, but didn't get any response, in fact, she wanted to say that there was not a grandmother accompanying her! Why do you want to go to the warm pavilion at the distance, I don't know if my sister really went to invite Mama Qian, or if the drunkard didn't mean to drink!

"Please let this grandmother look at my sister, light fragrance, light language, you two hurry up." Xiao Yao asked the accompanying grandmother of the Yuan family to take care of Xiao Yuan.

"So what do you do?" Asaky asked uneasily.

"I'll wait for you in the pavilion in front, and besides, Xiaofu and Xiaohui are with you, you don't have to worry."

After sending a few people away, Xiao Yao looked around and walked into the pavilion, because there were charcoal basins and curtains, so it was very warm inside. The side that is not covered is facing the warm pavilion, Xiao Yao thinks that this place is really good, you can rest, you can watch the scenery, and you can also take a peek at the young ladies by the way, very good, very good.

"Princess, let's go to the front pavilion and rest before we go back." Qiu Ying was afraid that the princess would be tired, and when she saw the pavilion in front of her, she couldn't help but ask.

Xiao Yao heard a voice from far and near.

"Then go and sit down." Yin Qianhua also wanted to take a break.

Is anyone coming? Xiao Yao continued to listen.

Yin Qianhua originally wanted to help her aunt entertain guests in the living room, probably because her status was too noble, but it made everyone a little restrained and couldn't let go. And because she doesn't often attend various banquets, and she is not very familiar with the wives and wives of various families, it has caused a situation that everyone feels very awkward.

When the living room became more and more crowded, she found an excuse to leave temporarily.

The little garden was where she used to be, and she walked around to the pavilion.

Yin Qianhua stepped up the steps, and when she raised her eyes, she saw Xiao Yao sitting on a low stool in the pavilion.

A little girl of five or six years old, wearing a blue embroidered hibiscus flower branch dress, a cloak of the same color inlaid with a circle of snow-white fur, combing simple hair, and a pearl bead flower on one side, looking delicate and sweet.

Seeing that someone really walked into the pavilion, Xiao Yao got down from the stool and saluted Princess Jing very politely and greeted him.

"I've seen Madame."

"Little girl, do you know me?" Yin Qianhua's child and daughter before meeting were about the same age, and they looked cute and well-behaved, so they couldn't help but ask her.

Xiao Yao looked at Yin Qianhua carefully, shook her head and replied, "I don't know." ”

Anyway, everyone is here to be a guest in the Yuan Mansion, whether they know each other or not, it is always right to greet politely, looking at the dress of this lady, the momentum exuded from her body.

Xiao Yao secretly assessed in her heart, the noble lady in front of her should at least be a lady of the Hou Mansion.
