Mrs. Ma was not angry, "Sister Rong is not bad, why does it have to be Xia Xi?" Besides, how easy is it to meet the emperor? ”

Cao Rong and Li Ran glanced at each other, and disbelief flashed in their eyes at the same time.

Cao Rong snorted lightly, "What's the use of being beautiful?" Sister Ran and I are not bad, why should we rely on her? She's just an outsider. ”

Seeing that they were not happy, Li Laoyi sighed, "Until the last moment, I don't want to let Sister Xi come forward, it's just that such an opportunity is rare, and it would be best if I could succeed once." If Sister Xi succeeds, she can help Sister Rong and Sister Ran beg the emperor. ”

Mrs. Ma's heart was moved, and she suddenly frowned, "But will Xia Xi be willing?" If my uncle found out......"

Li Laoyiren's face turned cold, "She has to go if she doesn't want to, she is also a member of our Cao family, our Cao family is gone, what good is it for their mother and son?" ”

……

Nichuhe held his cheeks, held the handkerchief in his hand, and carefully looked at the stitches and threads on it, and couldn't help but sigh.

Even a teenage girl has such embroidery, and it is unsightly to think about the things she used to embroider.

Zhu Wen said with a smile: "I didn't expect this Cao family girl to have such attainments, if she can serve King Ruijun, it would be good, why did the master refuse?" ”

"Embroidery and character are not necessarily proportional, who knows what that girl is like?" Nichuhe pursed his lips, unimpressed.

The real reason can't be said.

However, good embroidery may not necessarily be good character, this sentence is true.

The performance of the Cao family girl can only be said to be decent, without any characteristics, and she noticed that Cao Rong's eyes are too flexible, and she is not a stable one at first glance, and she must have a lot of eyes.

Such a person enters Hongyun's backyard, and it is very likely that he will not be at peace.

Li Ran is okay, he looks calmer than Cao Rong, but he is a little wooden.

Su Peisheng sent someone over and said that Yongzheng would come later.

Nichuhe dressed up first, and then went to the door to greet him.

After Yongzheng came, he took her hand and sat down, and asked, "I heard that the Cao family is here?" ”

Ni Chuhe hummed, "I'm here, I want the Cao family girl to enter Hongyun's mansion." ”

Yongzheng's eyes were cold, and he snorted, "Whimsical." ”

Ni Chuhe smiled, "If the concubine refuses bluntly, the emperor won't be angry, right?" ”

Yongzheng shook his head, "Why are you angry?" I didn't plan to fulfill the Cao family's wishes. ”

Well, it seems that Yongzheng does not have a good impression of the Cao family.

Ni Chuhe smiled, "At first, the concubines thought they were worried about the emperor, but they didn't expect that they were worried about Hongyun, so can it still work?" Hongyun's mansion is what they can imagine? ”

Yongzheng raised his eyebrows, "Do you think the Cao family is bad?" ”

Ni Chuhe nodded of course, "Looking at them, they are full of calculations, and the concubines don't like them." Suddenly, he frowned, "However, they probably won't give up, the concubines pondered, if it doesn't work with the concubines, will they put their ideas on the emperor's head?" ”

As he spoke, he glanced at him and teased.

Yongzheng's face sank, "How can I be calculating?" You're talking nonsense. ”

Ni Chuhe naturally knew that ordinary people couldn't calculate Yongzheng, if he really had the courage to calculate the emperor, then Cao Jiazhen would hit the muzzle of the gun, which was tantamount to looking for death.

……

In the afternoon of the next day, the daughter of the Cao family asked to see her again.

Nichuhe is a little impatient, won't it be for yesterday's business again?

She made it so clear that they even came to see her.

It seems that there is no cry when you don't see the coffin.

Nichuhe met with Li Laoyi and Mrs. Ma again.

However, yesterday's Cao Rong didn't come, it was Li Ran and another little girl who came.

Li Lao Yiren introduced with a smile, "This is the granddaughter of the slave, named Xia Xi." ”

The little girl named Xia Xi was twelve or thirteen years old, with a round face, comfortable eyebrows, and a bright appearance, and her cheeks were tense at the moment, as if she was a little unhappy.

As soon as Li Laoyi's voice fell, the little girl seemed to reluctantly step forward and curtsied, "I've seen the concubine." ”

Nichuhe couldn't help but be speechless.

Could it be that this was yesterday, so I found someone to come over?

Will she agree to another person?

But this one named Xia Xi is indeed very beautiful, although the facial features have not fully grown up, and he looks much immature, but he is not unblind, his eyes are clear, his every move is straightforward, and the whole person is like a drop of dew, which is much cuter and more real than Cao Rong and Li Ran.

Somehow, Ni Chuhe has a good impression of this little girl named Xia Xi.

Moreover, looking at her eyebrows, she is vaguely familiar.

After a few glances at her, Nichuhe withdrew his gaze and ordered some candied fruits and the like to be brought to her.

"This Jiangnan really raises people, all of them are smart, and it makes people happy when they look at it." Nichuhe smiled and praised.

Xia Xi saw the candied fruit and the fruit, his eyes lit up for a moment, his tense expression was slightly relaxed, and he thanked him sweetly.

Nichuhe smiled, and it was really a child.

"There are still some snacks, I will take them back to eat when I leave for a while, and I also sent them to Miss Cao and Miss Li yesterday."

Xia Xi smiled shyly, she felt as if she was here to eat.

However, these candied fruits and fruits are really beautiful, so I don't shirk it.

Nichuhe asked two small ladles to be moved to the two little girls and let them sit together to eat.

Li Laoyi and Mrs. Ma glanced at each other, and saw the same surprise and puzzlement in each other's eyes.

Today's concubine is much more kind and easy-going than yesterday.

The two of them looked at Xia Xi, who was unaware and leisurely eating the fruit.

Mrs. Ma's mouth was sour.

Li Laoyi's expression was also a little reluctant, but he didn't dare to show it.

Ni Chuhe looked at Xia Xi's happy eating, the more she looked at it, the more she liked it, she looked at Li Lao Yiren and asked her, "I don't know who this Xia girl's parents are?" ”

Li Laoyiren's face showed embarrassment, "Sister Xi'er's mother is the daughter of her aunt, married to the Xia family, a wealthy businessman in Yangzhou. ”

Nichuhe froze.

Wealthy businessmen in Yangzhou? The Xia family?

It can't be such a coincidence, right?

Only then did she remember that Xia Songshao was the daughter of the Cao family who remarried at the beginning, could it be that Xia Xi was Xia Songshao's daughter?

Ni Chuhe finally managed to restrain his excitement, and when he looked at Xia Xi again, he felt a little closer in his heart.

It turned out to be the daughter of an old man, and it was really a coincidence that there was no book.

She was worried that she wouldn't be able to see the old man, so she saw the daughter of the old man, which was comforting.

"Why don't you see Miss Xia's mother?" Nichuhe took a sip of tea, calmed down his excitement, and looked calm, as if he asked casually.

Li Laoyi smiled and said: "Born as a businessman, there is no fate, where is the qualification to come to see Niangniang?" ”

Xia Xi raised her little face and stared at a pair of clear big eyes, her eyes were full of confusion, "That Xi'er is also the daughter of a merchant, Xi'er can come, why can't her mother come?" ”

Li Laoyiren's face flashed with anger and reprimanded, "In front of the noble concubine, how can you be so ignorant of the rules?" ”
