Chapter 127: Birthday Celebration
"Is that so?" After Xue Yan washed up, she walked in, "Is what my sister just said true?" Is it really confusing to read a book? ”
Xue Yan heard it, and Siyu hurriedly said, "Don't listen to the third girl's nonsense, where will people be confused when they read books." ”
Sizhu smiled, "I think the girl is right, I think our eldest son is confused, I remember the year before last the eldest son took the witch doctor exam for the first time, and passed the written exam, but the witch exam did not pass." ”
Xue Ling agreed, "Absolutely." ”
Xue Yuan almost memorized a text, but when he used it, he was at a loss and out of order, as if his brain was knotted.
Jiang Yue held two sets of clothes in his hand, walked in, and corrected, "Ah Ling, you are taking your sister badly, read the book a hundred times, and see its righteousness, how can you become more and more confused the more you read, I think Ah Yuan still doesn't read enough." ”
Xue Ling laughed, "A-Niang is just worried that I will lead my sister astray, but we don't rely on the champion, the witch doctor exam is not as good as the imperial examination of the official career, we pay attention to practicality." ”
Jiang Yue deliberately provoked her, "What Ah Ling said is also reasonable, but this written test question is quite difficult, don't swear to fight for the position of the head of the family, you can't even pass the witch doctor exam when you look back." ”
Xue Ling smiled and pulled her mother's sleeve, "Don't worry, Auntie, I must have passed the test." ”
"My sister is really amazing, my second brother has been making up for homework for the past two days, saying that he was worried that he couldn't get over it, which made his father lose face, but I didn't expect my sister to be so confident."
This voice came into Xue Ling's ears, and the smile on Xue Ling's face faded a little.
Xue Lian had already walked in, "Sister, the Xue family is both prosperous and lossy, if you are free, you should also guide the two elder brothers,"
Xue Ling's eyelids jumped, and she really couldn't listen to Xue Lian's tone, "The courses involved in the witch doctor exam have been taught by my father, the second brother can't, and I can't do it, besides, if the second brother wants to ask me for advice, he will come and ask me himself, so why let my sister meddle in things." ”
Xue Lian was speechless, and her face became a little darker.
Xue Yan pulled Xue Ling's sleeve, and then shifted and said, "Why is the second sister free, did she come to see us?" ”
Xue Lian's face had already improved, and said, "The third sister just came back, I don't know, grandmother said early in the morning, when you come back, I can discuss going to the Jiangling Royal Mansion to pay New Year's greetings to my aunt, who knows, you and the fourth sister have been playing in the Jiang family for so long." ”
Xue Ling said as if unintentionally, "Oh, how it was in previous years, how it is this year, what is there to discuss." ”
Xue Lian laughed, "What my sister said, the entire Jiangling is paying attention to our Xue family's every move, and there will be three other families tomorrow." ”
Xue Ling knew what Xue Lian was alluding to.
It's just a marriage that hasn't been overt, the gossip in the market, she cared about it in the previous life, and now she doesn't take it to heart at all.
But Gangneung Palace, she is indeed going to go.
At least for now, she needs to collaborate with King Gangneung.
The most important thing is that she wants to meet Wen Po.
"Let's go, let's go see Grandmother."
Walking in the corridor, Xue Ling looked at everything carefully, not long after his father passed away, Xue Ling did not put up the lights for the New Year, the whole mansion was cold and cold, and there was no New Year's atmosphere.
In other words, for her, the Xue family has not been lively for a long time.
is the previous life, because she has been in the filial piety period, and the house has always been so deserted.
All the way to the old lady's yard.
The meal was already set.
Jiang Yue accompanied Mrs. Xue next to her, and there was a pair of gossips in the room, which was not lively, nor was it too deserted.
Some of the food on the table was her favorite.
Qiu Shi smiled and let the dishes go, "Ah Ling, it is the age of growing your body, eat more,"
He also instructed the girl next to him, "Give the eight-treasure chicken soup to the two girls, this is the pheasant sent from the former village, we have eaten it once, it is very delicious, so I will keep it for you two sisters." ”
Xue Ling took it with a smile and arrived at Xie.
After eating, the ladies sat and chatted.
Then he brought up the matter of Xue's birthday.
Mrs. Xue said, "Ah Ling, you and Yan'er should be quite tired after a long journey, especially Yan'er made a fuss yesterday, you have to cultivate well, tomorrow is your aunt's birthday, if you are,"
Xue Ling took over with a smile and said, "On my aunt's birthday, I naturally want to go." ”
When Xue Yan saw her sister going, she also said, "Grandmother, I'm not in the way, and my aunt's house is not far away, so I'll also go to congratulate my aunt on her birthday." ”
Mrs. Xue sighed softly, and when she heard this, she said, "Okay, I have asked your mother to make new clothes for you in advance, and I will go back and try it later, if it doesn't fit, let the embroidery lady at home modify it." ”
Xue Ling caught a glimpse of Xue Lian's usually plain face.
Naturally, she can't forget the situation in her previous life before she died.
Xue Lian has always been interested in Nangong Chen, she was ignorant when she was young, she didn't understand these things, and she never paid attention to them, and then she was busy every day, and her heart was on the Xue family and her sister, and she didn't have time to care about these children's affections, so naturally she never noticed that Xue Lian actually hid such thoughts.
Now it seems to be very obvious.
However, Nangong Chen was not provoked by ordinary women, if Xue Ling still couldn't see King Jiangling's ambitions clearly, that life would be in vain.
She just wanted to stay away from Nangong Chen now.
And this second sister, let her toss!
Jiang Yue asked people to take two sets of clothes and put them on the table, and when she saw Xue Ling responding, she said, "It's all according to the old lady's meaning, the crescent white coat is matched with a light-colored skirt, and some elegant flower branches are embroidered on the placket and skirt, and the hairpin is also made of elegant beaded flowers." ”
Xue Ling glanced at it, "Mother is in charge." ”
Jiang Yue was a little puzzled, "Ah Ling, if you don't want to, your grandmother won't be reluctant." And now like this, even your aunt won't say much. ”
Xue Ling shook her head, "A-Niang, if I don't go or not, someone will talk about it, so it's better to go generously, even if this matter is officially over." ”
As she spoke, she unfolded her clothes and glanced at them, "Excellent, elegant and not rude, even my aunt won't say anything." ”
The Xue family is not far from the Jiangling Palace.
It's just half an hour's drive.
I get up at the end of the day and have breakfast.
So he changed his clothes.
Xue Ling arrived at the old lady's house, and Xue Feng and Xue Lian had already dressed up.
Xue Feng prefers fiery red, and he is already delicate, but since he came back from the ancestral house, his temperament has been restrained a lot, and he has changed to a peach, which is no longer so conspicuous, and it looks a little more lovely.
In contrast, Xue Lian was dressed very carefully.
Mainly elegant and soft, wearing an aqua blue dress, demure as water, clear and moving.
In comparison, Xue Ling was much colder.
