"Wan'er. Daddy will take care of it. Come back first. Qiao Li firmly held Jiao Xing and did not withdraw his hand. Qiao Siwan smiled slightly. He saluted and said, "Yes, my daughter will retreat first." "Finished. She turned around and said to Yu Meiniang courteously: "Mother." Take care. My daughter Tongda came to visit again. ”

Poppy stared at her. In her eyes, it seemed that she was going to spew out a fiery snake and burn her to death. Qiao Siwan's eyes sparkled with a jewel-like glow. Smile softly. Turned around and walked away. It fluttered like a cloud.

Two days later. It was rumored that Qiao Li accepted Jiao Xing as an aunt. From a maid ring to the sky step by step to become an aunt, the level of the connecting room has jumped over. Jiao Xing is really not ordinary capable. It's just that in this way, she can be regarded as turning her face with Yu Meiniang. People, always put their strengths first, no matter how good the background of Mrs. is, it is not as important as her appearance.

Qiao Siwan smiled, wrote a small longevity character on the paper, and asked Qiao Siyuan on the side softly: "Siyuan, what do you think of this word?" ”

Qiao Siyuan glanced at it. Her eyes widened in surprise: "Sister." What font is this? Why haven't I seen it before? ”

Qiao Siwan coughed lightly. Said cautiously: "This is Qiao Ti." I created my own. ”

The fifth day of the first month of mid-spring. Lee's Birthday Banquet.

Qiao Siwan took Hongyugang to the front of the flower hall. Then I heard laughter inside. I don't know how many voices were chirping inside. Aunt Li was at the door. Guard. Seeing Qiao Siwan coming over, she hurriedly smiled and saluted her. said: "The ladies and ladies of the clan relatives and the old man's colleagues have come to congratulate the old lady on her birthday." Miss, let's go inside. ”

Eight black lacquered square tables shook in the flower hall. On the table, a white porcelain fruit plate was used to hold fruits, snacks and other things, and Li wore a red gold tuan gown with a pattern of Fushou Xiangrui. He was sitting in the right seat with a smile on his face. Nearby, many women dressed in brocade clothes sat around her, talking and laughing. Wearing a silver and red jacket here. The maids in green satin vests and white silk fine-folded skirts shuttled continuously, busy serving snacks or renewing tea, a warm air. Catch a glimpse of someone entering. There was a sudden silence in the house. Everyone's eyes were focused on Qiao Siwan. She smiled. Luo Luo went to salute the Li family on the modern ground: "Grandmother, Wan'er wishes you a long and healthy life, and all the best!" ”

"Wan'er, come and see your aunt and aunt, sister-in-law and sisters." Li smiled and beckoned to her.

People looked at her in amazement. In their impressions, the granddaughter of the old lady Ning of the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion and the eldest daughter of the servant of the Ministry of Officials, always bowed her head and followed behind the main mother Yu Meiniang. Silent and describing cowards. In the past, I always kept my head down when I saw people. I couldn't even see her clearly, and it was the first time that she stood alone in front of everyone like this and let them interrogate.

She wore a light red flowing color dark flower cloud dress. On the head, a jasper seven treasures are obliquely pulled. Verdant (water-dotted earrings. A combination of spring. There is another indescribable luxury. A delicate and white face like porcelain, a pointed chin, big almond eyes, and curved eyebrows. ”。 Hearing Lee's greeting, she smiled toothlessly. The eyebrows and eyes were bent, and Yingying saluted everyone. The sleeve shakes a little bit of water. Reflecting the snow-white delicate x crystal clear skin. Festive but restrained dresses complement each other. It adds to the pride of beauty. In the anger of the people, they secretly said that this eldest lady resembled the deceased Hou Mansion daughter Lin Wanqing. It is a woman human embryo that is generated. With such a charm and atmosphere, it seems that she has changed a person, and I don't know how beautiful she will be in the future, so I can't help but shout that I have lost my eyes at the beginning.

Li smiled and took Qiao Siwan's hand. For her to make it clear to the ladies present. continued: "It's not that I'm boasting, my granddaughter is really kind-hearted, compassionate and gentle, but she doesn't like to walk around in front of people, and she is too showy." ”

Shi Shi, the wife of Liao Yuan, the secretary of the ministry, is a beautiful woman in her thirties, she wears a colorful carved silk stone blue and silver mouse gown, and her temperament is very elegant. Wen said with a smile: "The eldest lady was born so conscious. In a few years, I don't know how to be touching, but I'm afraid that the old Han people can't hide it if you want to! ”

Qiao Siwan smiled and lowered her head. Li patted her hand enthusiastically: "This child is ashamed." Everyone laughed when they heard this, except for the lady Shi of the Ministry of Officials, the wife of the secretary of the Ministry of Officials, Mrs. Wen, and the wife of Langzhong of the Ministry of Officials. Most of them are the Qiao family's own family. They also know each other well. Suddenly, the air was hot.

At this time, Zhang's mother entered the report and said, "Old Han. The second lady is here. Then he caught a glimpse of Qiao Ke walking in with a smile. Saluted to the crowd, and she wore a long jacket with a collar and collar of gold brocade with flowers and plants. Sleeve. Caged for a gray squirrel fur, with a moon-white threaded skirt exposed underneath. There was a golden glone on his chest. The dazzling red gold lock, with a pair of Qibaojian golden hairpins on the head, is also gorgeous.

Li nodded slightly and said, "It's good to come, you can sit down." The attitude was not at all like looking at Qiao Siwan's enthusiasm, and all the ladies and ladies saw it in their eyes and secretly measured the reason.

Mrs. Wen, the secretary of the ministry, smiled: "Old lady." How can you not see Mrs. in such a place? ”

Wen and Yu Meiniang have always been friends. It wasn't surprising to ask her at this time. The expression on Li's face was faint, and he said, "It's cold." She's not in good health, and she's still talking about planning my birthday party for me these days. But I really can't bear to let her work too hard. And let her rest. ”

Wen frowned. The housewife of the Heart Dao Qiao Mansion has always been in good health, why is she so delicate when she doesn't see her body for a few days? Or is it very close, what's going on in the house? She couldn't help herself and glanced at Aunt Li, who was standing in the courtyard smiling and waiting. In an instant, many motives had already turned in my mind.

Everyone sitting in the hall was a human spirit, and they all had their own guesses when they saw this pomp. Special promise to Qiao Siwan. Qiao Siwan sat quietly beside Li for a long time. The corners of his mouth are smiling, gentle and cute, and he only replies when others ask, polite and courteous. The tone is gentle. Leave it to the eyes of the people. It is as immobile as a mountain.

In the past, when people asked about customers, Qiao Siwan always asked three questions before replying. is the least good at getting along with others, but Qiao Ke has a vivid temper and a warm porridge. I have always enjoyed the life of the stars holding the moon. At this time, seeing that everyone was much warmer to Qiao Siwan than to herself, she was the most resentful in her heart, and because she remembered that Yu Meiniang wanted to prepare a birthday banquet for her grandmother in person. was rejected coldly by her grandmother, and she was even more uncomfortable. I only feel that my status is faintly threatened. Then he whispered to Miss Liao San, who was sitting on the side, "Don't look at my eldest sister with a smile on her face. The most powerful character. Don't let her fool you. Miss Liao San looked at Qiao Siwan with a smile thoughtfully. He said softly, "It looks very close."

"Hmph, my sister is the most popular one who is used to winning the people's popularity. To get praise from the high and low levels of the house, we have to study diligently. Joco laughed. Qiao Siwan noticed the whispering here. She gave them a gentle look. With a quiet smile on his face. Miss Liao San was inevitably stunned, her face was not as thick as Qiao Ke's, and she immediately blushed and hung her head and stopped answering.

At this moment, Zhang's mother walked in with a happy face: "Old lady, Mrs. Ning is here in person!" The doctor and the second lady of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion also came. ”

When Li Shi heard the joy, she hurriedly stood up, Qiao Siwan hurriedly supported her, and the other ladies also stood up and followed Li Shi's back to meet her.

Lee is the mother of the servant of the ministry. Colleagues in the Ministry sent people to congratulate them on being comrades, and the old lady of Zhenguo Hou Ning was Mrs. Yipin. Over the years, it was just a matter of sending people to send birthday gifts. It was the first time I came to congratulate myself in person. Everyone was amazed at the same time. I can't help but look at the people who come.

Li Shi was surprised and puzzled, and thought about it. Mrs. Ning had already taken her hand: "Mrs. in-law, why don't you invite me for your birthday!" ”

Li quickly apologized.

Mrs. Ning smiled and patted her hand, then caught a glimpse of Qiao Siwan behind her, and said with a smile: "Or Wan'er specially came to report me, Mrs. In-law, you can be careless about your birthday." ”

Qiao Siwan stepped forward to salute Mrs. Ning in a modern manner: "Grandmother! ”

Everyone suddenly brightened. That is to say. The old lady was invited by the eldest lady. Outsiders continue to think that since the old lady's biological daughter is behind. Although the Marquis of Zhenguo Mansion married a concubine in the past. In the end, the stakeholders are still estranged. But it is really intriguing that the old lady actually visited in person today.

Old Taijun Ning nodded with a smile, and the lady of the Marquis of Zhenguo, Shen, and the wife of the Shangshu of the Ministry of War, Jiang Shi, also smiled and saluted the Li family. Lee recommended several other ladies. Temporarily. The warbler in the house. The beads are jingling, the most enthusiastic.

Li gave up the right seat to the old lady, and the old lady endured it and sat down. Qiao Siwan saw that her eldest aunt Shen's face could not see the sadness of the last meeting. I knew she was shaking. couldn't help but smile and follow the side. Then I heard a gentle voice and smiled: "Cousin Wan'er." ”

She looked sideways. The person was dressed in a bright purple straight-bodied robe with a collar. Embroidered with a symmetrical peony flower pattern, the eyebrows are like far away, and the skin is like the first snow. The swarthy green silk was curled in a crescent moon curly bun, and a dart gold pearl was inserted diagonally. It happened to be the eldest daughter of the eldest aunt. Lin Yuanxin, the second lady of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion, stepped forward with a smile and took the other party's hand. said: "Sister Xin, I didn't have time to meet each other last time I went to the Hou Mansion, and you came well today." Lin Yuanxin felt the real temperature on her hands, and the smile on her face was the most gentle, and said, "Wan'er mm." Thank you for going to my mother, who is now able to recover so quickly. You can't do without it. I'm going to come and say thank you. ”

Qiao Siwan nodded. looked at Mrs. Zhenguohou, who was talking to people with a smile. said: "It's important that my aunt can figure it out by herself." Sister Xin didn't think much about it. ”

"What do you say? Why is it so quiet. Won't you tell our other sisters to hear about it? ”

A voice interjected diagonally, with a sneer.
