Chapter 47: See Uncle
When Xu Xi sat down, the eldest lady said to her: "The girls in the house are all equipped with a grandmother, a big maid, two little maids and a rough mother-in-law. ”
As she spoke, she beckoned, and five subordinates stepped forward one after another.
"This is Mama Yuan, this is Qingfeng, the housekeeper and the big girl in your house. Yi Cui and Dianjiang are the little maids in your house. This is Mrs. Yu, a rough envoy in your courtyard. ”
The people ordered by the eldest lady all saluted Xu Xi one by one.
When everyone in the room saw these people, they had different expressions.
Mama Yuan is okay, she was a small steward in the needlework room. But Qingfeng is a second-class maid in the old lady's room, although she is second-class, she is also used easily by the old lady, and she is quite capable. As long as one of the four big girls is married, she can immediately be promoted to a first-class position.
But now the old lady gave her to Xu Xi, which shows the importance she attaches to Xu Xi.
Seeing that the eldest lady had matched Xu Xi with someone, the old lady said, "Everyone else is gone." Brother Li and Brother An accompanied their sister and took her to the front yard to meet the uncle and third uncle. ”
Everyone stood up.
Zhu Shi opened his mouth and said, "Second brother and sister, Sister Xi will come from the front yard later, and you have to take her back." Wait for her. He said to Zhao Rurui and Zhao Ruyu, "Rurui and Ruyu accompany your mother." ”
"Your sister-in-law is right, you wait for her to go back together." The old lady also said.
Xu Xi is a person from the second room and the biological daughter of the Wei family. The Zhu family has worked so hard to bring it back from the countryside, and it can't be sent to the second room for a while, and the Wei family doesn't care about anything as a mother-in-law, right?
Besides, there is a second master Zhao Yuanliang in the second room, whether he is there or not, it is not easy for the Zhu family to set foot there.
As for only letting Mama Ruan send it, that's not good, it's too contemptuous.
Anyway, it is reasonable and reasonable, it should be Wei Shi who took it back.
Wei, who was about to go out, stopped, glanced at Xu Xi, turned to the old lady and said, "Yes, old lady." ”
Zhao Jingli and the other children all stood there without moving, and when the elders came out of the hall, they said goodbye to the old lady one by one, and left in order of dignity and humility.
Zhao Jingli has a calm temperament, but Zhao Jingan is a lively character, he is probably full of curiosity about his twin sister, and he keeps chattering all the way to the front yard: "Sister, what kind of life did you live?" Are they good to you? Did you go hungry or cold? ”
Xu Xi's heart warmed. This brother is good.
She smiled: "No, they are very good to me, my adoptive parents only have one child, and they love me very much." Our life is still passable, and there is no problem with food and clothing. ”
Zhao Jing'an breathed a sigh of relief and asked again: "I heard that the women's academy is difficult to get into, and no matter how many people squeeze their heads, they can't get in." How did you get in? ”
Xu Xi blinked: "Just take the exam casually, it's easy." ”
Scumbag Zhao Jing'an: "......" If you don't pretend to be forced, we can still talk well.
Probably someone went over to pay homage, and when a few people entered the main hall of the front yard, the three brothers Zhao Yuanxun were already here.
As soon as Zhao Yuanliang saw Xu Xi coming in, he stood up and said with a smile: "Sister Xi is back?" Come, Daddy will introduce you to your uncle and uncle. ”
He pointed to the middle-aged man sitting at the top and said, "This is your uncle." ”
Because the Zhu family once said that Xu Xi was like Zhao Yuanxun, Xu Xi took the opportunity to salute and looked at Zhao Yuanxun curiously. Sure enough, I found that the two were very similar in terms of face shape and eyes. Especially those eyes, which are black and bright, are very bright, which no one else has ever had. And although Zhao Yuanxun's figure is thin, she is tall and straight, and her body is tall and straight, which is somewhat similar to him.
"I heard that you were admitted to the girls' academy?" Zhao Yuanxun's voice was a little low and hoarse, but his gaze at Xu Xi was very kind, and his expression was very gentle.
"It's just a fluke." Xu Xi lowered his head and said.
Zhao Jing'an next to him pouted. That's not what my sister just said.
"You can see that you are a smart child." Zhao Yuanxun raised his hand.
A maid next to him held up a box. When the box opened, it was a set of four treasures of the study. Xu Xirao didn't understand these things, but from their exquisiteness, it could be seen that this set of four treasures of the study seemed to be worth a lot.
"This set of four treasures of the study room was won by composing poems when I participated in a literary meeting. Although it is not very precious, it is also of great significance, and I hope that you will succeed in your studies and progress in the College. ”
"Thank you, uncle." Xu Xi saluted.
Qingfeng hurriedly stepped forward, took the box from the maid's hand, returned it and handed it to Dianjiang.
Xu Xi didn't need Zhao Yuanliang to say anything more, and directly saluted him: "Xi'er has seen Daddy." ”
Zhao Yuanliang didn't need to do anything, he took a brocade box from the hands of the subordinates behind him and handed it to Xu Xi: "Dad has nothing to give you." This is a jade ornament, you can play with it. ”
He didn't open it, and Xu Xi didn't want to check it in person, so he took the box and handed it to Qingfeng, and thanked him again.
"This is your third uncle." Zhao Yuanliang pointed at Zhao Yuankun and introduced.
