Chapter 17 To Zhang's Mansion
Early the next morning, Bai Chuxia went to Zhang's Mansion after breakfast.
As soon as he got out of the carriage, Xiao Si at the door immediately came up to greet him, and another Xiao Si ran to the house.
Xiao Si stepped forward and bowed, "Miss Bai, please wait a moment, I have already gone to inform Miss, madam." ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw Zhang Jinxiu running out of the mansion in a hurry.
As soon as he saw Bai Chuxia, he immediately stepped forward, "Chu Xia, you are here." ”
As he spoke, he pulled her inside, and at this time the Lin family also came out, she originally came out with Zhang Jinxiu, but she ran too fast, and she was lagging behind.
Seeing that Zhang Jinxiu didn't look like everyone was beautiful, he couldn't help but say, "Look at you, where is everyone's beautiful appearance." ”
"Mother, I'm happy!" Zhang Jinxiu replied with a pout.
Looking at the interaction between Zhang Jinxiu and the Lin family, Bai Chuxia was very envious, envious that she had such a mother who doted on her and loved her.
Whether it was in the previous life or in this life, she never felt family affection, although she never said it, but she still longed for it in her heart.
He bowed down to the Lin family, "I've seen Mrs. Zhang." ”
Lin walked in front of Bai Chuxia and saw that she was wearing a pale green long skirt today, with light blue peonies embroidered on the cuffs, a few auspicious clouds outlined by silver threads, a row of blue sea clouds on the hem, and a wide pale yellow brocade wrapped around her chest on her chest.
I can't help but sigh, it's really a country and a city!
"Miss Bai is too outward, please come inside." As he spoke, he led Bai Chuxia inside.
Zhang Jinxiu pulled Bai Chuxia inside, walked to the front hall, the maids served tea, and Mrs. Zhang said to a maid, "Go and invite the master." ”
"Yes, ma'am."
Seeing the maid leaning over and leaving, Lin looked at Bai Chuxia, "Miss Bai, you must also know, I am such a daughter as Jinxiu, although she also has an older brother, but her brother has been out since he was ten years old and has never returned, so many years, Jinxiu has been very lonely and has few friends." Now, seeing that she is so attached to you, I will discuss with her father to recognize you as a righteous daughter, although Jinxiu told me that you are also willing, but I still want to ask for your opinion in person. ”
"I am willing," Bai Chuxia said softly, a trace of water suddenly appeared in his eyes, and he choked up, "To have such a good father-in-law and mother-in-law, I must have accumulated virtue and done good deeds in my previous life. ”
She has no mother since she was a child, and Bai Junxiong has only given birth to her since she was a child, and no one knows how much she longs for family affection.
Looking at the inseparable relationship between Zhang Jinxiu and the Lin family, she was very envious.
"Good boy," Lin stepped forward and grabbed Bai Chuxia's hand, and said gently, "In the future, I will call you Chu Xia." ”
"Yes, Mrs. Zhang." Bai Chuxia was a little coquettish, and it felt like she was in a dream.
At this moment, Zhang Wenxian came over, and he couldn't help but be surprised when he saw Bai Chuxia who was smiling like a flower.
Although he had heard that she had the appearance of a country, when he saw her today, he still felt a little amazing.
He had already heard their conversation when he first came in, and he could see between the lines that this Miss Bai was indeed very different from the rumors from the outside world.
He said in a deep voice, "It's still called Mrs. Zhang." ”
Glancing at Zhang Wenxian, who came in, Bai Chuxia's face was slightly red, and he shouted, "Father-in-law, stepmother." ”
"Well, okay," Zhang Wenxian stepped forward, looked at Bai Chuxia and said, "I have known the Prime Minister, another day we will choose an auspicious day of the zodiac, and then pay homage." ”
"It's my father-in-law," Bai Chuxia nodded, a little excited in his heart.
Turning to look at Begonia, Begonia stepped forward and handed the gift he had prepared in advance.
Bai Chuxia picked up the picture of Zhang Daoyuan's Fushan, "Father-in-law, this is Zhang Daoyuan's picture of Fushan, it just so happens that my father has a copy in his study, so let me bring it to you." ”
After receiving Bai Chuxia's painting, Zhang Wenxian was obviously a little stunned.
Zhang Daoyuan's picture of Toyama he had heard of and had never seen it. He didn't expect that there would be a pair in the Prime Minister's Mansion, and he gave it to him.
took the painting, opened it and took a look, and couldn't help but say, "Okay, it's really Zhang Daoyuan's handwriting, okay." ”
Seeing this, Bai Chuxia smiled, picked up the bracelet and hairpin he bought in the Wanbao Pavilion, and handed them to the Lin family and Zhang Jinxiu, "
Stepmother, Jinxiu, this is the jewelry selected in Wanbao Pavilion, it is not very valuable, but fortunately, the style is good. ”
The gifts that Bai Chuxia gave to Zhang Jinxiu and the Lin family this time were not the treasures of the town store of Wanbao Pavilion, but the ordinary ones selected later.
If she took such a valuable one directly, she was afraid that they would feel vain when they looked at her, so she chose an ordinary bracelet for the Lin family and gave Zhang Jinxiu a golden plum hairpin.
Although it is not particularly valuable, but the value is not particularly cheap, looking at the texture, it must be the best of the ordinary class, and the things of Wanbao Pavilion are not cheap.
"This hairpin is so beautiful." Zhang Jinxiu looked at the golden hairpin decorated with small plum blossoms and exclaimed.
"Well, Chu Xia has a good eye, this bracelet is the best in jadeite." Lin also praised.
Seeing that they all liked it very much, Bai Chuxia couldn't help but smile.
After the previous life, she knows very well the preferences of the Lin family and Zhang Jinxiu, the Lin family likes jade, Zhang Jinxiu likes plum blossoms, and she just likes it.
Seeing this picture, Haitang couldn't help sobbing, her young lady is really bitter, Miss Zhang's family, madam, adults are so good to Miss, she is really happy.
Miss used to be too lonely, but now she has become the righteous daughter of Lord Zhang, and she must make up for some of the family affection that she didn't have before.
Hearing Begonia's sobbing, Lin was a little surprised and asked, "You girl, what are you crying about?" ”
Haitang hurriedly knelt down and cried and said, "The slave is crying with joy, the slave is happy for the young lady, the young lady was too lonely before, since the young lady and Miss Zhang met, the young lady has become a lot more cheerful, the slave and the maid really hope that the young lady can be happy in the future, don't stay in the house all day, so as not to be depressed and sick." ”
"What a faithful girl." Lin sighed.
She heard Jinxiu say that day that there is only one maid Begonia in Chuxia Mansion that can be used, presumably this maid!
is really loyal, and after so many years of following Chu Xia's side, he must have suffered a lot together.
"Chu Xia," Zhang Jinxiu stepped forward and hugged Bai Chu Xia, and said softly, "You will be my sister in the future, and I will protect you." ”
"Huh." Bai Chuxia listened to Zhang Jinxiu's words, and his heart suddenly brightened, like a spring road with swaying flower shadows, and his eyebrows were smiling.
