Chang Yandang didn't know what to do. Especially when the Han family came to measure the size of the new house, she found an excuse to borrow embroidery samples, and kept Chang Ning in her inner room for a whole day, until the Han family finished their work and returned to their residence.

The second wife personally accompanied the Han family all day, and when she returned to the Orchid Garden, she was full of exhaustion, but she still called Chang Yan to ask, "Did Ah Ning say anything today?" ”

Chang Yan thought of Chang Ning's unreasonable look, and secretly sighed in her heart, but her face was not obvious, and she said to her mother with a smile: "It's good." I also embroidered half a handkerchief today, faster than usual. ”

The second wife nodded, her tense heartstrings finally loosened, and asked, "How is Wang Xi's over there?" ”

Chang Yan thought for a while and said, "I've only been in contact with her two or three times, and I feel pretty good." ”

The second wife couldn't help but say bitterly: "Don't leave Miss Pan behind." Don't look at the Liu family's inconspicuousness now, I listen to the meaning of Mrs. Xiangyang Houfu, their family may have to take over the official book. ”

The secretary is in charge of the verification of the promotion, appointment and dismissal of officials, if she can marry such an in-law, if nothing else, her youngest son will have a bright future.

Chang Yan smiled: "Don't worry, mother, I know what to do." ”

The second wife was very tired, so she cheered up and said a few words to Chang Yan before she went to rest.

Chang Yan unconsciously came together with Miss Pan, and the two unconsciously came together with Wang Xi and Chang Ke, and when Mrs. Tai and Mrs. Hou began to arrange to participate in the birthday banquet of the eldest princess of Baoqing, the four little girls didn't know when they had come very close, and often walked around the back garden with laughter, or went to Qingxue Garden to drink tea and eat snacks, or went to Liuyin Garden to see the progress of house repair, and discussed what flowers to plant in front of the house after the house was repaired, and what kind of stone benches were placed in the pavilion. I thought it was a few sisters in the same room, very affectionate.

Chang Ke was a little anxious in her heart, feeling that she and Wang Xi were not as close as before, and sometimes she didn't have a chance to say a few words to Wang Xi.

Wang Xi was also a little annoyed.

During the day, when she played with Chang Yan, Chang Ke, and Miss Pan, she was fine, but at night, she would think of the nine-ring knife inserted in the bamboo forest.

I wonder if the knife continues to be stuck there? Or has it been unplugged? I don't know if Chen Luo will practice swords in the bamboo forest?

She really wanted to see it again, but because there was either Chang Yan or Chang Ke around her, she couldn't find a chance.

Wang Xi thought about sending green silk or red silk to see.

Before she could tell her to go down, Miss Shi Shi Zhu came to the capital.

Unlike when Miss Pan came, the Shi family sent the accompanying grandmother to report to Mrs. Tai two days in advance. Mrs. Tai informed Wang Xi a day in advance to go with her to greet Shi Zhu.

Wang Xi felt that it was very troublesome, but he saw an opportunity to be alone, but he was able to calm down and listen to Chang Yan with a smile.

Miss Pan was purely curious, and felt that the Yongcheng Hou Mansion suddenly became lively, and so many guests came.

Chang Yan, as usual, couldn't see the joy and sorrow, and invited everyone: "Let's come to Yuchun Hall early tomorrow, right?" Before my cousin came, we could talk more with my grandmother. ”

Chang Ke smiled and didn't speak, hiding behind everyone, and wouldn't notice her if she wasn't careful.

Only Chang Ning was overjoyed, holding Mrs. Tai's arm and asking Shi Zhu when he would enter the city: "Is it still Mama Shan who came over with Cousin Shi?" Where does Cousin Shi live? I want to live with Cousin Shi, is that okay? ”

Mrs. Tai was very happy to see her so lively, took her hand, and said, "Azhu will be able to enter the house tomorrow morning, and we will have lunch together." As for where she lives? She paused.

She was originally going to arrange for Shi Zhu to live in Qingxue Garden, but now that the Willow Shade Garden has not been repaired, she can only arrange for Shi Zhu to live in Yuchun Hall temporarily.

But it's hard to say that.

The main reason is that Shi Zhu is afraid that he will be angry.

That girl has a big temper.

I had a good time with Ning Yatou again.

Mrs. Tai smiled and said, "I haven't seen her for several years, let her stay with me for a few days." ”

This is arranged in Yuchun Hall.

Everyone smiled slightly.

Including constant condensation.

When they came out of Mrs. Tai's room, everyone had different expressions.

Miss Pan made an appointment with Chang Yan, Wang Xi and Chang Ke: "My brother just sent someone to send some Biluochun, do you want to go to my place for tea?" ”

Wang Xi politely declined, but Chang Yan responded with a smile.

The two went together.

Early the next morning, Wang Xi finally had a free time to look at the knife inserted in the bamboo forest.

It's really strange, it's been more than ten days, the sun is getting stronger day by day, and there was a thundershower a few nights ago, but the red silk tied to the handle of the knife is still as thick as blood, and there is no decline at all.

Wang Xi pursed his lips.

Qingsu told her: "The second son of the Chen family didn't go to the bamboo forest to dance the sword again!" ”

So what does he mean by that knife stuck there?

Wang Xi returned to Qingxue Garden unhappily, dressed up and went to Mrs. Tai.

The three sisters Chang Ning and Miss Pan had arrived, and they were talking around Mrs. Tai.

Seeing Wang Xi coming in, Chang Ning was the first to stand up and said, "I'm just waiting for you, why are you so slow!" ”

Wang Xi smiled but did not speak.

Chang Ke glanced at Chang Ning and praised Wang Xi and said, "Your dress today is so beautiful." ”

Wang Xi wore a horse-faced skirt with green onion green inlaid with oily green trim embroidered with pink iris pattern, a pink net-faced phoenix tail tuanhua sleeve shirt, and simply wore a lotus seed rice-sized Nanzhu head face, which looked quite lively and pretty.

Miss Pan also praised: "This color is especially good. ”

Wang Xi has never lived up to the kindness of others, she smiled with crooked eyebrows, and said: "Sister Pan's clothes today are also very beautiful, they are new products of Jiangnan Weaving, and I like the pattern of everything well." ”

Miss Pan pursed her lips and smiled.

Mrs. Tai said, "Everyone is very beautiful today. ”

It can be seen that they attach great importance to Shi Zhu.

This made Mrs. Tai particularly satisfied.

After a while, Mrs. Hou came and said, "Miss Shi's carriage has entered Xiaoyongfang, and it is about to arrive." ”

Mrs. Tai got up and sat down again, and muttered, "It's good to arrive, it's good to arrive." ”

Chang Yan glanced at Chang Ke.

Chang Ke lowered his eyes and did not respond to Chang Yan.

Chang Yan smiled faintly.

Mrs. Hou, the second wife, the third wife and other ladies of the inner courtyard all arrived.

The crowd was again in a hurry.

There were bursts of voices outside, "Miss Biao has entered the house", "Miss Biao has entered the mansion", Wang Xi saw a tall woman, wearing a bright red colorful moire tuan, and a white threaded skirt, surrounded by seven or eight maids and women.

The morning sun shone on her body, the golden steps in her hair swayed brightly, and a pair of apricot eyes looked forward to life, as bright as the summer sun.

Miss Pan narrowed her eyes.

Shi Zhu and Wang Xi are both as bright as snow, with high noses and big eyes, and very graceful looks. But the temperament is very different. If Wang Xi is a rich flower in the world, delicate and bright, then Shi Zhu is a tall red kapok, proud and warm.

It's really interesting!

Miss Pan looked at Chang Yan.

Chang Yan and Chang Ke stood side by side with a smile, and only Chang Ning rushed forward before Mrs. Tai.

"Cousin Shi!" She trotted all the way.

Mrs. Hou smiled and helped Mrs. Tai, and Wang Xi followed them out of the hall.

Shi Zhu hugged Chang Ning, took her hand and walked over generously.

"Auntie!" She stepped forward to salute Mrs. Tai without being humble or arrogant. However, before she could squat down, Mrs. Tai had already held her by her own hand, "Get up, get up!" I'm going to see what it looks like. You've been wearing makeup since you were a child, and everyone likes it. The eighteenth year of the female college has changed, and my aunt's grandmother's eyes are no longer good, but from a distance, it seems to be more beautiful than before. ”

Shi Zhu smiled calmly and calmly, and Mrs. Ren looked up and down.

"It's getting prettier!" Mrs. Tai said happily.

Mrs. Hou and others responded in unison.

Shi Zhu took the initiative to greet Mrs. Hou: "Auntie, long time no see!" ”

Everyone also greeted her.

When it was Wang Xi's turn to wait for the others, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, looked at Miss Pan in front of her again, and asked Mrs. Hou with a smile: "Who are these two?" ”

Without waiting for Mrs. Hou to speak, Mrs. Tai already said, "Azhu, these two are also your cousins." One is...... One of your cousin's nieces is your aunt's niece. This time I came to Beijing to save my relatives, and you can be regarded as fate. ”

Wang Xi and Miss Pan blessed Shi Zhu.

Shi Zhu returned the salute and smiled and greeted Chang Yan and Chang Ke, but the corner of his eye couldn't help but fall on Wang Xi's body from time to time.

Mama Shan, who accompanied Shi Zhu, was Shi Zhu's mother's companion, and she led several head and face servants around Shi Zhu to salute Mrs. Tai and others.

Mrs. Tai nodded, sent Mama Shi to greet her, and she was supported by Shi Zhu and went to the flower hall where the banquet was held.

How is the body of Shi's father and mother? What about the brothers, sisters-in-law, and nephews at home? What books have you been reading lately? Which temple did you go to during the Buddha Bathing Festival......

After the meal, Mrs. Tai asked Shi Zhu to sit on the Luohan couch with her and chattered for a long time.

Wang Xi was still able to listen with her ears at first, her eyes wandering between Shi Zhu and Chang Ning, and later saw that Shi Zhu would quietly look at her from time to time when answering Mrs. Tai's question, and when her eyes met Shi Zhu, Shi Zhu would turn her head as if she didn't see it, she frowned almost invisibly.

Could it be that some people are born with incompatible aura?

From the time she heard Shi Zhu's name to the time she saw Shi Zhu, the feeling this person gave her made her not like it.

Wang Xi is a person who will never wronged himself.

She pondered that after Shi Zhu finished answering Mrs. Tai's words, she got up and said goodbye.

Chang Ke, who was sitting next to her, quietly pulled her sleeve and whispered to her: "Let's go together later." ”

Wang Xi bowed his head and yawned first.

Mama Shi hurriedly glanced at Mrs. Tai.

But Mrs. Tai was talking vigorously and didn't notice it.

Mama Shi could only say softly: "Miss Wang, can I simmer you a cup of strong tea?" ”

Mrs. Tai suddenly smiled and said, "Look at me, just talk about it." It's a long time coming. Now that you sisters have met today, we will have many days to spend together. Ah Zhu just arrived, the car and horses are tired, first go to sleep and rest, we will disperse first, and then have dinner together in the evening. ”

Mrs. Hou said goodbye with everyone with a smile.

Chang Ning wanted to stay and said, "I'll accompany Cousin Shi." ”

Mrs. Hou didn't stop her, and told Chang Ning: "If your cousin needs anything, just tell me!" ”

Shi Zhu thanked Mrs. Hou with a smile, and Mama Shan sent Wang Xi and the others out on her behalf.

Wang Xi whispered to Chang Ke: "I don't know if I can not come at night?" ”

Shi Zhu was asking Chang Ning: "Where did that Wang Xi come from?" Also my cousin's daughter? Isn't my cousin in Jinling? ”
