Chapter 275: Birthday Gift (1)

Early in the morning of the sixth day of the ninth lunar month, Xiao Yao walked into Ninghetang with a gift for her grandfather in her arms against the slightly cool morning mist.

"You kid, you're already delicate, why are you walking around in the fog, what's the matter for the maids to do." The Qin family has been much kinder to Xiao Yao recently, and every time they meet, they are smiling at each other, and if they encounter Xiao Yu, they will take the initiative to reprimand them, and they will no longer turn a blind eye as before.

Xiao Yao didn't study the reason in detail, anyway, this is a good phenomenon, there is less harassment from the fourth aunt and mother and son in life, and it has become much more stable and harmonious.

"Isn't Grandfather here?" Taking off the thin cloak, Xiao Yao looked around, usually at this time, grandfather would not go out, where did he go!

Qin looked at his granddaughter with a smile, such a child should marry into the palace, look at this appearance, look at this bearing, not to mention the best in Kyoto, it is definitely one of the best. King Jing's Mansion has vision, and his granddaughter is also blessed, but he doesn't know when the palace will come to propose.

"Looking for your grandfather?"

"I gave my grandfather a birthday present, and I wish I was the first person to give him a gift." That's why I chose to come early in the morning, just to occupy the first place!

"Your grandfather didn't hurt you in vain, but it's a pity that he went out early in the morning, and it is estimated that he will come back after a while, what kind of gift is it, grandmother will take a look at it first?"

"Hmmm! Can you wait for my grandfather to come back and watch with him? I hope that he will be the first to see this gift, and ask his grandmother to forgive his granddaughter for such an unreasonable request. ”

Qin hurriedly waved her hand to say that she was not angry, she also enthusiastically left her granddaughter to have breakfast together, Xiao Yao also had to go back to change the clothes specially prepared for her grandfather's birthday banquet, and several of their brothers and sisters had surprises to give to their grandfather, and they needed to carefully check it one last time.

As soon as Xiao Yao left here, the old marquis came back in less than a cup of tea, as if he had made an appointment, son and daughter-in-law; The grandson and granddaughter-in-law followed in a long string.

Qin's favorite scene to see is when a large family gathers together, and the wrinkles on the smiling face are stretched.

"Ouch! My old lady, don't forget what the eldest lady begs you for, the old slave is still waiting to feast her eyes! Qin's mother next to him joked that today is the birthday of the old marquis, and if she wants him to be happy, it will be useful to mention the eldest lady.

"Look at my memory, Ping An told her that her gift should be the first to be handed over to you, and she refused even if I wanted to take a look at her first!"

"Ping'an, this child is becoming more and more ignorant, don't be angry with her." Tong Mingyu hurriedly compensated her mother-in-law on behalf of her daughter, this child is usually very clever, and he is more stubborn than anyone else.

"How can others see the gift given to me by my granddaughter! Was she wrong to do so? "Old Marquis Xiao spared no effort to protect his granddaughter, and whoever said in front of him that his granddaughter was not, it was not right.

"Look at the gifts, look at the gifts." Xiao Jingyan hurriedly came forward and made a mistake, Dad is a birthday star today, don't mess with his old man, he will have a guest in a while! If he had a calm face, what would the guests think.

A long bag sewn from brocade was carefully placed on the table by the maid, and Xiao Rui's hand was slapped open as soon as he touched the bag. Everyone looks at him with a deserved expression, you say that you are not good at touching someone's things, but you want to reach out and touch the gift that Ping An sent over, and you don't get beaten by whoever you are.

At this time, even the most naughty Xiao Yu knew that the things on the table could not be touched, only Xiao Rui forgot his mind in the room before going out in the morning.

Old Marquis Xiao didn't need others to do it, he opened the bag by himself, and pulled out a piece of pale cyan muslin from it, and after unfolding it, it could be seen that it was a portrait, unlike in the past, the previous portraits were drawn with a pen, and now this one is indeed embroidered with needles and threads.

"This is the father!" Xiao Jingmin was far away from the crowd, and as soon as he looked up, he saw the embroidered image, an embroidered image of the old marquis riding on a horse.

Slowly, everyone found that they could see more clearly when they stood apart, and the portrait looked more expressive.

"Grandfather is so majestic, how about letting Ping An help me embroider a portrait." As soon as Xiao Rui's words fell, he successfully got two bursts, plus three slaps.

"Stinky boy, your fourth uncle and I haven't lined up yet! When will it be your turn, I'll figure it out...... In less than eight months is my birthday, my little niece is so filial and sensible, will she embroider one for me! I don't want the whole body, just half the body. Xiao Jingyan envied his father while imagining that he could have the same treatment.

Xiao Jingkang glared at his younger brother angrily, he was almost the father of the two children, and he hadn't grown up yet, his own father didn't speak when he stood in front of him, and one of his uncles was embarrassed to speak first. Eight months later, my daughter should probably be embroidering a wedding dress! Is it true that the pace of time can't stop and not move forward?

"Help me put away the embroidered statue, no, I'll show those old guys in a while, whose granddaughter can compare to my peace, let them envy and be jealous!" It's a pity that Lao Tong didn't come today, otherwise he would have been annoyed and couldn't eat. "Old Marquis Xiao stroked his gray beard, happy to see his teeth and eyes, and he was happier than picking up gold ingots on the road.

The granddaughter put herself in her heart, and she had to show something, so she would go to the distant building to pick her up in person.

Xiao Yao is not in a distant building at the moment, she and Xiao Jun, Xiao Qi and Xiao Yuan are in the last rehearsal, and the four of them want to work together to rehearse a show for their grandfather, and after choosing it for several days, they feel that the song "Royal Sword Jianghu" is more suitable for grandfather. In order to show new ideas, this time Xiao Yao played the piano, Xiao Qi played the flute, and Xiao Jun and Xiao Yuan danced the sword. Several people quietly rehearsed for more than a month just to prepare for today's day.

Xiao Yao's embroidery master is also looking for an apprentice, and when she helped her apprentice choose embroidery thread yesterday, because it was a little late, she matched the wrong color. The apprentice is not there, check it himself, and see if he needs to remedy it.

"How can there be a new wedding dress here?" The old marquis, who had just entered his granddaughter's room with one foot, roared angrily, the family was getting bolder and bigger, and he hadn't nodded yet! The wedding dress of the granddaughter is embroidered, whose idea is this, dare to cross her own decision.

Xiao Yao's embroidery master was frightened, she had been staying in the backyard and didn't know much about the Xiao family.

"Go down!" Old Marquis Xiao didn't want to embarrass a woman, looking at her trembling appearance, he knew that she couldn't give the answer she wanted.

After the embroidery lady left, the old marquis Xiao turned around and didn't see the two granddaughters, and the anger in his heart became even stronger.

He stood in the courtyard and shouted: "Whoever gives you the courage to give peace and order people without my consent, and those who have the courage to do it should have the courage to stand up." ”

This roar was full of energy and momentum, and after a while, several sons and daughters-in-law were summoned to the distant building.

"Father, is it safe that the child has made you angry, you sit down first, and the daughter-in-law will bring her over to apologize to you." Tong Mingyu observed his father-in-law's face, he didn't look angry, he was fine when he was in Ninghetang! It's only been a long time, how can you be so angry!

"You all come in and take a look, and I want to ask who did this." Xiao Lao Hou Ye slammed the curtain of the door and entered his granddaughter's room angrily, Xiao Yao's bedroom was clean and simple, unlike other young ladies who raised small animals and flowers, if it weren't for Xiao Yuan's Xiaoxue who would often come to her to play, Xiao Yao's residence would only have a few masters and servants plus two masters.

Xiao Jingkang didn't know why his father wanted them to enter his daughter's room, and why his old man was so angry.

"Look at it." Old Marquis Xiao dodged and retreated to the side, and only then did everyone notice that there was a new dress that was as red as fire and as bright as xia lying quietly on the long couch in the middle of the house.

Tong Mingyu ran over in three steps and two steps, looked up and down for a long time, and stammered out two words "wedding dress".

The incomparably precious cloud brocade, the intricate ornamentation, the exquisite embroidery, and the style of the initial outline all show that this is a wedding dress that makes women feel excited and the ladies want to have.

"Eldest daughter-in-law, what do you say is going on?" Old Marquis Xiao hated to tear off the clothes on the couch, he had to find out the culprit of this matter today, otherwise the anger in his heart would not come out.

"Father-in-law, daughter-in-law doesn't know what's going on! Xiying, you go to find the eldest lady and come back, I must ask clearly. Although she and her husband want to marry her to Yun Yichen, the two families have only reached a verbal agreement now, and the actual action has not yet begun! She really couldn't explain the wedding dress.

"I said that someone came to the distant building, and my sister still doesn't believe it, wow! Why are there so many people! Grandfather, uncle, why are you here? Xiao Yuan squeezed a way out of the crowd, pulled past Xiao Yao, who was a step behind, and greeted the elders in the family as he walked.

"The wedding dress, why is it on the couch?" Xiao Yuan has been looking forward to the day when it will be ready, and when the time comes, he must let his sister wear it first, it must be beautiful.

"Ruyi, you know what's going on." Old Marquis Xiao pointed to the couch and asked.

"Yes! My sister's embroidery workshop took over the business, because the style was painted by my sister, so the other party asked my sister to embroider in person, and the price doubled! "Xiao Yuan's most trusted person is Xiao Yao, she has never questioned what her sister says, so it is natural and smooth to say something, which is easy to convince.

Xiao Yao clearly remembered that she had put away her wedding dress, how could she get to the couch! Someone in this room? I hope that my grandfather will believe Xiao Yuan's words and expose this matter.

"Peace, is that what it is?" Tong Mingyu was already scared out of a cold sweat, her underwear was wet, and now things have turned around, I hope that her daughter's explanation can convince everyone, dispel everyone's doubts, and confirm her niece's statement.

"That's what Ruyi said, I agreed to embroider it myself based on the amount of money the other party gave, otherwise! You don't think it's for me! Xiao Yao made her own jokes, she said so, everyone should rest assured!

"Madam, there's already a guest coming." Someone outside the door reported it.

Everyone looked at Old Marquis Xiao together, no one dared to leave if he didn't open his mouth!
