Chapter 68: Entering the Xu Family
Yao Jingshu paused for a moment, and then handed the basket in her hand to Xu Xingyan.
Xu Xingyan looked at the bread in the basket and took one, and then signaled to the little guy who followed behind him, and the little guy was flattered and happily took one too.
"Eh, yes, it's delicious." Xu Xingyan took a bite, his eyes lit up, he looked at Yao Jingshu and asked, "This is what your family did?" ”
Yao Jingshu bent her knees: "Back to the master, it was my mother who did it." ”
Xu Xingyan nodded, shook the cake in his hand, and said with a smile: "The taste is really good, you quickly take it back and give it to Mrs. and Young Master to taste it, Ah Cai, let's go." After saying that, he left with the entourage behind him.
Ah Cai stopped by Yao Jingshu's side, and said with a smile: "Sister Jingshu, leave me two, and wait for my brother to come back from his master's errands to bring you other delicious food." ”
Yao Jingshu covered her mouth and snickered, and answered, and Ah Cai happily followed Xu Xingyan into the carriage and left.
Yao Jingshu took Yao Xinyue to the gate of Xu's house, and the porter saw the cake in her basket early, Yao Jingshu was not stingy, took one for the porter, and took Yao Xinyue into the door.
"Follow me, I'll take you to Madame." Yao Jingshu said in a low voice.
Yao Xinyue nodded, hugged the porcelain jar in her arms tightly, and obediently followed behind her, but she couldn't hold back her curiosity and secretly looked at the scenery in the yard.
The layout of the Xu family is similar to the ancient garden parks she visited in later generations, through the small garden in the middle, walking up to the cloister, you can see the various courtyards located around the garden, Yao Jingshu led her straight to the middle one.
When she arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Yao Jingshu motioned for her to stop here and wait for herself to enter the door, and soon a little maid dressed like Yao Jingshu ran out, looked at her and asked, "You are Jingshu's sister?" ”
Yao Xinyue nodded.
The maid looked at her happily, then reached out and took the porcelain jar in her hand, and said with a smile: "Come with me, Madame is waiting for you." ”
The little maid led Yao Xinyue into the courtyard, and when she arrived at the front of the house, she heard the sound of laughter in the house, as well as the laughter of children.
"Madam, Miss Yao has arrived." The little maid stood at the door and saluted, attracting the attention of everyone in the house.
In the flower hall, there was a beautiful woman sitting on the main seat, holding a handkerchief in her hand and gently wiping the mouth of a child in her arms, the child looked only about two years old, and there were two maids standing next to her, one of which was Yao Jinglan.
When the beautiful woman heard the maid's report, she stopped what she was doing and looked up at Yao Xinyue.
"Come in, please." Mrs. Xu said with a smile when she saw Yao Xinyue.
Yao Jinglan walked directly to the door, took her hand and came in.
"Big sister." Yao Xinyue shouted in a low voice, Yao Jinglan looked at her with a smile, and said softly, "Don't be afraid." ”
The corners of Yao Xinyue's mouth twitched, she wasn't afraid of whether it would be good or not.
When she arrived in front of Mrs. Xu, Yao Xinyue saw clearly that this person's face didn't look very good, and then she remembered what Yao Jingshu had said before that Mrs. Xu's health didn't seem to be very good.
"Crescent Moon has seen Madame." Yao Xinyue saluted.
Mrs. Xu looked at her, she was really a very beautiful girl, and among the three sisters, it was Yao Xinyue who was born the most peugeot.
"Get up, there are no outsiders here, so you don't have to be so restrained." Mrs. Xu said softly, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw that her face changed, and then she coughed violently.
