Chapter 63: Caught Cheating (1)

Li Yiyi walked into the backyard with the maid, and the Lin family hurriedly stepped forward to greet her, "Mrs. Zhang." ”

I saw that her face was unusually pale at this time, her eyes were weak, her hollow pupils were gray, her pale lips were slightly pursed, and the wrinkles on her forehead and the corners of her eyes were obvious.

worried, "Why is Mrs. Zhang's face so pale?" ”

"It's okay, it's all the same old problem." Li Yiyi shook her head, reached out and coughed twice with the handkerchief in her hand to cover her mouth.

Seeing this, Lin hurriedly helped her to sit down on a chair to the side, chatting about homely things.

A quarter of an hour later, in the front yard, seeing that everyone from the house had arrived, Zhang Wenxian said to Zhang Jinhuai, "Go and tell your mother, wait for the banquet to start, let them take a seat!"

"Yes, Dad."

Zhang Jinhuai turned around and walked towards the backyard, as soon as he entered the backyard, he saw many ladies and young ladies in the courtyard, a little uncomfortable, and hurriedly walked to the Lin family who was sitting on the side and said, "Mother, Dad said that the guests have arrived, and the banquet is about to start." ”

"Okay," Lin nodded and said to Li Yiyi beside him, "The banquet is about to start, let's go and take a seat." ”

"Okay." Li Yiyi nodded, and the maid behind her hurriedly stepped forward to help her up.

After sweeping around and not seeing Bai Chuxia's figure, Zhang Jin asked suspiciously, "Mother, what about Jinxiu and Chu Xia?" ”

Speaking of Zhang Jinxiu and Bai Chuxia, Lin said with a smile, "Those two girls don't know what to whisper in the room, and they have never shown up since they came." ”

He turned to the maid beside him and said, "Go and call the young lady." ”

"Yes, ma'am."

The girl bowed and saluted, turning to leave. Zhang Jinhuai hurriedly said, "Wait a minute." ”

looked at Lin and said, "I'll go!" Then he turned around and walked towards Zhang Jinxiu's room.

Looking at Zhang Jinhuai's departing figure, Lin sighed and shook his head, no matter what, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, let it be fate! Her son finally came back, and she didn't talk about him anymore.

Walking to Zhang Jinxiu's door, Zhang Jinhuai lowered the excitement in his eyes, reached out and knocked on the door, "Xiu'er." ”

Hearing that it was Zhang Jinhuai knocking on the door, Zhang Jinxiu said to Bai Chuxia, "It's my brother." Then he got up and went to open the door.

He opened the door and asked, "Brother, is there something wrong?" ”

"Mother asked me to call you, saying that the banquet is about to start, let you go to the front hall." Zhang Jinhuai replied with a smile, thinking in his heart, what kind of whisper did this girl have, and she said it behind closed doors.

"Oh," Zhang Jinxiu turned around and shouted, "Chu Xia, the banquet is about to start, let's go to the front hall." ”

"Okay."

Bai Chuxia put down the tea in his hand, got up and walked outside the house, and saw Zhang Jinhuai wearing a crescent-colored dress, with gorgeous patterns embroidered with green silk on the clothes, a square chin, clear eyes, sword eyebrows flying obliquely, and the whole face looked very handsome and magnificent.

Wan Er smiled, "Brother Yi." ”

Zhang Jinhuai couldn't help but blush, for some reason, every time he saw Chu Xia, his heart beat faster, his face was hot, and he responded, "Chu Xia." ”

Then the three of them walked down the hall.

As soon as they entered the hall, everyone arrived, and when they saw Bai Chuxia coming, they couldn't help but look surprised. Although I have seen her beautiful face for a long time, I am still a little amazing every time I see her.

Finally seeing Bai Chuxia, Xuanyuan Lang hurriedly got up and walked towards her, took out a box from his cuff and handed it over, "Miss Bai, last time I heard you say that you like plum blossoms, this is what I found from my father and gave it to you." ”

Taking the box in Xuanyuan Lang's hand, Bai Chuxia opened it and saw that there was a jasper plum blossom hairpin and two plum blossom eight treasure hairpins inside, and the texture was extraordinary.

A little surprised, he must have seen her take the merchant's plum blossom and jade hairpin last time in the bazaar, so he went to the palace to find this one.

Yanran smiled, "Thank you, I like it very much." ”

Seeing Bai Chuxia's bright smile, Xuanyuan Lang couldn't help but blush, looked at the plum blossoms dotted on Bai Chuxia's clothes today, and said with a smile, "Today, Miss Bai is wearing a plum blossom outfit and plum blossom earrings, if you wear this plum blossom hairpin again, it will be even more compatible." ”

Hearing Xuanyuan Lang say this, Zhang Jinxiu felt that it made sense, stepped forward and picked up the two plum blossom eight-treasure hairpins in the box, took down the original ordinary hairpin on Bai Chuxia's head, brought it to her, and then inserted the jasper plum blossom hairpin into the bun.

instantly improved more than one grade, looking noble, elegant, and generous, and hurriedly praised, "Good-looking, Chu Xia, it matches your clothes very well." ”

Bai Chuxia bowed over Xuanyuan Lang and said, "Then thank you, Lord Wang." ”

Seeing that Bai Chuxia was wearing it extremely good-looking, Xuanyuan Lang felt very satisfied and said with a smile.

"It's okay, this plum hairpin is very worthy of you."

After speaking, he turned around and sat down in his original seat, and secretly wondered in his heart, when he returned to the palace, he would go to the treasury to find it again, to see if there was a plum blossom hairpin, this plum blossom hairpin matched her very well, and he was very happy to look at it.

At this time, Xuanyuan Ming also got up, picked up the gift beside him and handed it to Bai Chuxia, "Chu'er, I know that you like jadeite, give you a jade hairpin, open it and take a look." ”

Bai Chuxia symbolically opened it, and saw that the jade hairpin inside was actually the hosta that she saw in Wanbao Pavilion that day, when she saw that the hairpin was fine and small, transparent, and jade drops, she liked it very much, but later after Xuanyuan Ming picked it up and put it on her head, she didn't like it.

Well, this hairpin is very well matched with begonias.

Closing the box, Bai Chuxia smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Wang." Then he handed it to the begonia in the back.

Seeing that Bai Chuxia had just put the hairpin given by Xuanyuan Lang on his head, he handed it to the maidservant on the side, he was a little dissatisfied in his heart, his face was as usual, and he turned around and walked to the side seat and sat down.

Every dignitary who came had gifts, but they were all placed in the gift registry, and only Xuanyuan Ming and Xuanyuan Lang took them and gave them to Bai Chuxia with their own hands.

At the beginning of the banquet, everyone sat down, Zhang Wenxian also prepared a song and dance, everyone saw that this recognition banquet was still so big, and they were surprised and a little more jealous of Bai Chuxia.

She is the daughter of the prime minister, the granddaughter of the Marquis of Yipin, the niece of the hussar general, and has a marriage contract with Prince Ming, she is a real princess of Ming.

Sitting in the seat, looking at Xuanyuan Ming's eyes not far away that had never looked at him, Bai Wanxia felt a little sad in his heart, did he really not want her? She was already his, how could he say he didn't want her.

Until the banquet was about to end, Xuanyuan Ming didn't look at Bai Wanxia, he was avoiding her eyes, and he didn't want to have anything to do with her.

Seeing this, Bai Wanxia was unwilling, seeing that the banquet was about to end, she thought for a while, and said to Xu, "Mother, I'll go out and pay respect." Then he got up and walked out secretly, and Xiao Cui followed him away.
