The corners of Hongjun's mouth twitched slightly.

Only the sixth elder brother thinks that the concubine is a paper tiger.

Even if it is a paper tiger, isn't the sixth elder brother still obedient like a cat in front of the concubine?

Cut, and dare to say so behind your back.

Hong Jun secretly snickered, but he didn't poke it, a good brother still has to take care of face.

The guards, who had been secretly protecting, spontaneously followed the two elder brothers out of the palace to ensure their safety.

Hong Yan and Hong Jun walked out of the palace with their front feet, and Mrs. Xia and Miss Xia arrived in the carriage with their back feet, and there was a teenager sitting next to the coachman outside the carriage, wearing a white shirt, a heroic young man, with a dog's tail grass in his mouth.

The carriage stopped at the side door, Mrs. Xia and Xia Xi got out of the carriage one after another, and Mrs. Xia gently instructed the white-shirted young man, "Let's come when we go." ”

The white-shirted young man nodded with his eyebrows straight.

Mrs. Xia led Xia Xi forward and said her intention to the guards standing outside the door with knives.

One of the guards said "Wait a minute" and hurriedly went in to report.

Ni Chuhe was slightly surprised to learn that Xia Xi's mother and daughter had come so soon, and hurriedly asked people to come in, let people tidy up their appearance, and sat in the flower hall where they were entertaining.

A quarter of an hour later, Mrs. Xia led Xia Xi in, lowered her head, and kowtowed, "The folk girl pays a visit to the noble concubine." ”

Nichuhe looked at the woman in her thirties in front of her, very gentle, very restrained, no different from ordinary women.

It's not the same as the beautiful style of everyone in her impression.

But it can also be regarded as gentle and polite.

Ni Chuhe smiled and groaned, "Mrs. Xia is exempt. And he commanded that a seat be given.

Mrs. Xia thanked her, got up, and sat on the embroidery pier with a little restraint, while Xia Xi stood behind her in an orderly manner.

Ni Chuhe looked at Mrs. Xia, who didn't dare to raise her head in front of him, and deliberately made her tone more gentle, "When I met Mrs. Xia for the first time, Mrs. Xia didn't have to be nervous, the last time I met Miss Xia in this palace, I liked Miss Xia very much, and Mrs. Xia gave birth to a good daughter." ”

Mrs. Xia smiled shyly, "Thanks to the noble concubine, it is the blessing of Sister Xi, the folk girl came over today, and she came here to thank the concubine, thanks to the concubine yesterday, Sister Xi can be safe." ”

As he spoke, he stood up and curtsied.

Referring to that incident, Ni Chuhe smiled disappreciably, "It's a trivial matter, since people have come to this palace, this palace should ensure the safety of Miss Xia." ”

As for Li Ran, the Cao family is interested in the left and right, and Li Ran also has a heart, so she doesn't bother to care.

Nichuhe instructed Mrs. Xia to sit down again, and chatted casually with Mrs. Xia, such as the other party's preferences, what she was good at, and so on.

From the other party's words, I know that the other party is good at female red.

This Mrs. Xia is ordinary, her temperament is ordinary, and her talents are not special, they are just things that ordinary women will meet, except that they feel very comfortable when they get along, and their appearance is also a comfortable type.

Ni Chuhe thought that maybe it was because of being the daughter of the Cao family.

"I heard that Mrs. Xia is coming to Jiangning to visit relatives, I don't know when she will go back?" Nichuhe picked up the teacup, took a sip, and asked her.

Mrs. Xia smiled: "I originally planned to go back today, but my husband happened to come, so I had to leave tomorrow." ”

Ni Chuhe's hand holding the tea cup trembled, the tea spilled some water, fell on the back of his hand, quickly regained his composure, and took out the handkerchief to wipe the water stains on the back of his hand casually, revealing a surprised expression, "Oh? Why are you in such a hurry? ”

Actually, she guessed it.

Maybe it has something to do with yesterday's events.

Caring for her daughter, no mother can stand it.

That's fine, go back early, and feel at ease early. Odd books

Xia Xi stared at the handkerchief in Ni Chuhe's hand for a moment, Ni Chuhe didn't pay attention for a while, her heart was full of news that Xia Songshao was coming.

Fortunately, their identities are very different and they won't see each other, not to mention that the other party will leave tomorrow.

Thinking of this, I have some regrets.

Mrs. Xia pursed her lips and smiled, "There are some things at home that need to be dealt with back, so it's not good to delay here." ”

Nichu shook his head, "That's fine." She instructed Zhuyan to fetch a box containing a set of jewelry.

A mutton fat jade peony hairpin, a pair of mutton fat jade gourd earrings, and a pair of jasper bracelets.

The peony hairpin and gourd earrings are for Xia Xi, and the bracelet is for Mrs. Xia, she said, "This is a meeting gift for you." ”

Mrs. Xia hurriedly stood up, looking flustered, "How can this be?" Reactive power is not punished. ”

Ni Chuhe beckoned Xia Xi to come over, held her hand, and said with a smile: "I look at Sister Xi's kind face, this is fate, it is a piece of the palace's heart to give you a gift before leaving, and Mrs. Xia should not refuse." ”

Mrs. Xia's lips pursed, her face full of panic, and she didn't know what to say.

Ni Chuhe stroked Xia Xi's hair and smiled softly, "This palace likes girls the most, girls should be dressed up beautifully, Sister Xi is beautiful and worthy of this set of jewelry." ”

Xia Xi blushed, lowered his head, and stirred the hem of his clothes with both hands.

Ni Chuhe personally took the hairpin and put it on Xia Xi, looked at it, and bowed his head with satisfaction, "Sure enough." ”

Xia Xi glanced at her mother, and Mrs. Xia smiled reluctantly, "The folk girl has thanked the concubine, Xi'er, thank the concubine." ”

Ni Chuhe calmly accepted the thanks of Xia Xi's mother and daughter.

Xia Songshao helped her at the beginning, and now she gave Xia Songshao's daughter a meeting gift, which can be regarded as a return.

There are also Xia Songshao's care for Rumei and Lezhi in the summer.

Alas, I don't know how to be happy with Rumei.

With Ge Qing here, Rumei and Lezhi should live well.

It's a pity that I can't see it with my own eyes, and it's not convenient for people to inquire.

Mrs. Xia and Xia Xi didn't do it long before they said goodbye and left.

Nichuhe unfolded the veil in his hand.

Just now she noticed that Xia Xi stared at this handkerchief several times, could it be that there was something wrong?

This is the handkerchief that Cao Rong sent.

The other party was not greedy for a piece of handkerchief, Ni Chuhe's heart moved, and he looked at it carefully, and after a while, he saw a word in the corner of the rose flower on the handkerchief.

The characters are very small, and under the shadow of the petals, the color is similar to the color of the petals, and it is not obvious.

Ni Chuhe looked at it and quickly recognized the word, which was the word "Xi".

After a moment's thought, a smile appeared on the corner of Nichuhe's mouth.

Xia Xi, who had walked away, took off the hairpin on his head, looked at it, and a smile appeared on his cheeks, "Mother, this concubine is very good." ”

Mrs. Xia hugged her daughter's shoulder and smiled softly, "Yes, the concubine is very good, and it will be of all kinds of benefits to you to get a word of praise from the concubine, you have to keep it in mind in the future, you know?" ”

Xia Xi nodded heavily, playing with the hairpin, and couldn't put it down.

Mrs. Xia frowned suddenly, "By the way, the handkerchief in the concubine's hand...... Mother looked a little familiar. ”

Xia Xi didn't care, "Oh, it was embroidered by my daughter before, and it was snatched by Cousin Rong, and now it seems that it was given to the concubine." ”

Mrs. Xia suddenly realized, sighed, and said no more.
