Chapter 261: Distressed
Even if Yin Qianhua doesn't mention it, Mrs. Yuan plans to invite all the female dependents of the Xiao family to the General's Mansion as guests, and promoting the marriage between King Jing's Mansion and the Xiao family is what she wants to do the most, how can the protagonist not be present.
The Xiao family reacted differently when they received the invitation, Xiao Yuan almost jumped up with joy, Tong Mingyu was worried that if everyone in the family went to the banquet, what should the family do?
"Mother, take everyone to Grandmother Yuan's house! I stay. Xiao Yao doesn't like to participate in banquets, so if she can hide from such an occasion, she naturally has to hide.
"I'll stay at home, you'll all ...... Gott, vomit. Liu Siyi covered her chest with her hands and retched.
The woman who entered the door of Xiao's house seemed to have discussed, if she wanted to get pregnant, she would conceive together, and she would give birth together for the rest of her life, and the time between them would not be too long. Now that's exactly the case, the county lord of Xiyue hasn't been born yet, Xiao Lang's daughter-in-law has been more than five months, Xiao Yi's daughter-in-law deliberately joined in the fun, and she began to be happy, Xiao Yao felt sorry for her sisters-in-law who refused to let them overwork, and it was herself who was not affected!
"Or I'll stay." Li Jiaoying said weakly that the family is indeed inseparable from people, the mother-in-law and sister-in-law are the hostess, and the two nieces are young girls who should go out to play and walk more, and it seems that only they are the most suitable to stay.
Qin is an enlightened mother-in-law, she decided to stay by herself, the most important thing in the family now is the relationship between the two girls, let their mother accompany them to the banquet, whether it is good or bad in the future, they will not complain. Now she has already died of her granddaughter's intention to marry into the palace or the palace, just out of sight, just let them make their own decisions.
On the day she went to the banquet, Xiao Yuan was earlier than usual, and she was not annoyed by Xiao Yao's ridicule of Cheng Ye, she carefully selected skirts and accessories for herself. didn't forget to hide her sister's ordinary jewelry, Xiaohui was looking for jewelry in the morning, and she was so anxious that she was about to cry.
Xiao Yao had no choice but to change her hairstyle and jewelry, and fulfilled her wish.
Xiao Yuan took out a new gauze skirt, the skirt was layered like a modern dress, and a wide belt could just set off Xiao Yao's slender willow waist, don't look at Xiao Yao's physique is not as good as her sister, but the figure shown is already convex and backward, exquisite.
Looking at her sister who was dressed like a fairy, Xiao Yuan circled around her three times and then praised: "You should dress up like this to be worthy of this face, such a figure, otherwise wouldn't it be a tyrannical thing!" The fourth aunt and Ah Yu, that stinky boy, if they see their sister's current appearance, I'm afraid they will drool again. ”
Can we not mention the mother and son? There are a few people in the family who don't know how to avoid it at all, and entering a distant building is like entering their own yard, and Xiao Yu is one of them. He would come and go around every day, either to leave a snack to eat, or to be cheeky and want to stay overnight, if it weren't for Xiao Yuan's domineering and shooting when it was time to shoot, Xiao Yao didn't know how much he would be taken advantage of by this little thing!
and his good fourth aunt with a big belly and don't forget to move her hands and feet, every time she goes to the county lord's mansion, Xiao Yao prays that the fourth aunt is resting. Because it's really not good to be molested by a pregnant woman with a big belly and can't resist.
"Sister, did you say that we would see the two people surnamed Liang and the surnamed Yuan today?" On the way to Ninghetang, Xiao Yuan whispered to Xiao Yao.
My grandmother is a big matchmaker, and maybe she will really take today's opportunity to let their sisters meet their future "husband".
"What's that person's name?" Xiao Yao listened to it many times and couldn't remember the other party's name, even if he couldn't remember it before, what his sister predicted today is very likely to happen, if his grandfather asks after he comes back, he will say that he has a good impression of the man, and he can put down the big stone in his heart and rest well.
"Asaka, you come and tell my sister." I can't remember it myself! Let's ask Bao to inquire about Asaka.
"Liang Zhixiao" Xiao Yao silently read it a few times in her heart, I hope I can remember it this time and don't forget.
After bidding farewell to the old marquis and the Qin family, except for a few people who were pregnant, the rest of the female dependents of the Xiao family got into the carriage and went to General Yuan's mansion.
The lukewarm weather was just right for traveling, Xiao Yuan lifted the curtains and looked at the bustling streets outside, the bustling flow of people, those century-old brands and newly built shops, his eyes were shining, and he couldn't wait to jump out of the carriage and blend into the lively street market outside.
Xiao Yao shook her head helplessly, her sister's personality is really not suitable for being a daughter, she should be born in a free and easy family, go out when she wants to go out, and go shopping if she wants to. The life of Houmen with many constraints is like a cage trapped in a canary, and not all birds are willing to live in it and can adapt to that kind of life.
"Sister, be a candy man, I want a small animal, let the guards buy two for us, okay?" Xiao Yuan slapped the wall of the car with his hand, Xiao Bing hurriedly came over to listen to the dispatch, snubbing others in the Xiao family may not be trained, if you neglect the two young ladies, it will be a big deal.
"Help us make two candy men, I want a bunny, sister? How about a phoenix! ”
"I don't want it." I'm not a child anymore, I'm interested in everything I see, and I said that I was going to a banquet, what if I got on my body or face.
At Xiao Yuan's strong request, Xiao Bing made a rabbit and a buffalo candy man for the two young ladies in the family, not to mention that although the outline is very simple, it is also vivid.
After admiring for a while, Xiao Yuan first ate his little rabbit, Xiao Yao couldn't stand her pitiful eyes and handed over the "buffalo" in her hand, and in a blink of an eye, it became a delicious meal in the second lady's belly, and there was not even any scum left.
Xiao Yuan, who licked his lips, was still unfinished, but Xiao Yao refused to indulge her anymore, eating too many sweets is not good for her teeth, girls should have snow-white teeth, if a mouth is full of yellow teeth or tooth decay, the most beautiful appearance will be discounted.
Ignoring Xiao Yuan's soft grinding and stalking, anyway, no one dared to hand food to his sister without nodding his head, and finally got to Yuan's house, Xiao Yao reminded herself to return her sister to the third aunt when she went home, she couldn't do it if she wanted to take a break, her poor ears and sleeves were destroyed all the way, and she was almost killed.
"My favorite thing to do is to come to greet you, because I can see the little beauty and the likable Ruyi for the first time." After Xiao Yuan's cousin-in-law and Tong Mingyu were polite, they squeezed into the middle of the Xiao family sisters, took Xiao Yao with one hand, and took Xiao Yuan with the other hand and walked towards the courtyard.
"Cousin, Mrs. Xiao can actually meet you at the gate, we are really fated!" Yin Qianhua, who had just stepped down from the parked carriage, greeted the Xiao family's daughters warmly.
"Ping An has lost weight." Yin Qianhua's mother and daughter spoke together, the little girl was obviously thin, her chin became more and more pointed, her face, which didn't have much flesh, was not as pink as before, and when she saw the willow waist, Yin Qianhua was afraid that a gust of wind would blow people away.
Yun Yichen's brows have long been tangled together, I haven't seen how this little girl has changed so much in a month, I don't know and think that she has fallen into the hands of her stepmother!
"There are too many things at home, and Ping'an, this child feels sorry for me, isn't it tiring to be a mother?" Tong Mingyu saw Yin Qianhua's mother and daughter hushing their daughter and asking for warmth, and she was very moved and guilty. Outsiders know that they are distressed and safe, but what they want most about as a mother is to train her to be a good director as soon as possible, so as not to be angry when she goes to someone else's house in the future.
Is the Xiao family short of stewards? As long as the Xiao family is willing to accept it, it is not a problem to allocate a few from the palace. Maybe Mrs. Xiao wants to cultivate her daughter's abilities. The cousin who is doing the same thing is not thin, only his little girl is getting thinner and thinner, how tired does this have to be to become like this, don't the second wife and aunt do things? She also has a few sisters-in-law! What are you doing? It seems that it is necessary to summon the dark guard back to ask why everyone else in the Xiao family is the same as before, only the little girl is about to turn into a piece of paper.
The son's eyes have been glued to Xiao Yao since he saw her, and it would be strange if Mrs. Xiao found out. Yin Qianhua deliberately moved a few steps behind everyone to her son's side, pulled his sleeve, and warned him with her eyes to pay attention, staring at a little girl in front of so many people to let others look at it, in case it was discovered, everyone would be embarrassed.
Yun Yichen reluctantly retracted his gaze, what he was paying attention to now was not Xiao Yao's appearance and the thoughts of the wind and snow, looking at the petite figure in front of him, he was only full of pity and distress.
When she arrived at the courtyard where Mrs. Yuan lived, Tong Mingyu turned sideways and asked the people from King Jing's Mansion to go first, Yun Yichen couldn't wait to hold her hand and comfort her when she passed by Xiao Yao's side, telling her that she would not let her live such a life in the future, and she still liked her bright smile and unrestrained appearance before.
"You're in groups?" Mrs. Yuan was surprised by the speed of her niece's actions, and she came together with the Xiao family so quickly, whether it was a matter of course or whether the two families already had a tacit understanding.
"We met at the gate." My aunt's imagination is too rich, is she the kind of person who asks her children about lifelong events on the street? Yin Qianhua gave Mrs. Yuan a look that only the two of them could understand, and shook her head slightly.
Yun Yichen retreated after meeting Mrs. Yuan, he also wanted to stay, but unfortunately he couldn't find a suitable excuse for being nameless and scoreless.
"Princess Lingnan has arrived." The maid came in to report, this is a rare guest, the Yuan family did not have much hope after the post, the princess of Lingnan rarely dealt with the officials in Kyoto, and there were even fewer contacts with the military general's mansion. Today is enough face for the Yuan family, and Mrs. Yuan's family stood up together and waited to greet the distinguished guests.
"Is Princess Lingnan the mother of that guy Kong Xuzhe?" Xiao Yuan also looked at the door curiously, he had only heard of the Lingnan princess, he had never seen a real person, and he didn't know if Kong Xuzhe looked more like his father or his mother.
There were also several female dependents in the Lingnan Palace, and the one at the forefront was a dignified lady in her early forties, dressed seemingly ordinary, but the clothes and jewelry were not good at a glance, low-key and luxurious, noble and unassuming.
This is the taste of a person with real wealth and status! It seems that the wealth and status of the Lingnan Royal Mansion are incomparable to ordinary people, no wonder Kong Xuzhe has developed a temperament that dares to speak and do, it turns out that people have a hard background!
