Chapter Twenty-Four: Barely Ugly
Xie Jingyi picked out the paint, and led Qingping to walk slowly towards home, and after Laba, the flavor of the New Year became more and more intense.
In front of the gate of the Xie family, there were many small people who climbed up and down, taking advantage of today's good day, sweeping the dust and cleaning the door. Lin'an City is rainy all year round, and I don't know how many such dry days can there be in the whole wax moon.
As soon as I entered the backyard, the small garden was full of pennies, and the brocade quilts were hung on them.
Xie Jingyi walked over and sniffed, once the futon was sunburned, it would exude a smell of barbecue, which made people feel full of happiness.
She is indeed very happy today, and it is no surprise that her father will definitely be promoted next year.
"Where are you going to the wilderness again, you have to go to the banquet alone tomorrow, A-Niang thought about what clothes you want to wear, what gifts to give, if something happens, what to do, I didn't fall asleep all night, and finally survived until dawn, go to your small courtyard to take a look, and there is no shadow."
Zhai said, walked out from behind the futon, stretched out his finger and poked Xie Jingyi's forehead, "Tell me, why is your heart so big, and I don't know who you look like!" β
Xie Jingyi stuck out his tongue, mentioned the paint that had been prepared a long time ago, and said with a smile, "A-Niang blames me, the stone blue and stone yellow I used for painting are gone, so I went out to buy some, passing by the newly opened big bowl of tea, thinking that A-Niang likes to eat snacks, so I bought some plum blossom cakes." In order to buy the hottest one, I was waiting there to uncover the pot. β
"Auntie, hurry up, try it."
Zhai's face looked a little better, "You, just a sweet mouth, A-Niang can't say you." Ming'er will go to celebrate your birthday, it's not good to go empty-handed, A-Niang prepared a jade Ruyi for you, and sent someone to your house. The clothes are also ready, you go back and try it, if it doesn't fit, ask Qingping to change it for you quickly. β
Xie Jingyi's palms were slightly sore, she didn't go back to the room to look, she knew that the white jade Ruyi was a rare good object in Zhai's dowry.
Originally, it was intended to be left for Xie Jingxian to marry, in the previous life, when they first entered the Hou Mansion, they were like rootless duckweed, and the Zhai family gave this to Mrs. Hou, but they didn't want to be considered a merchant with a lot of money, which became the beginning of their lion's mouth.
"Auntie thought about it, this is related to Daddy's promotion, if we give Mrs. Song Zhizhou such a heavy gift, it will inevitably be criticized and left a statement. That post was written by Song Guangxi, and only one of them invited me, I'm afraid it took these into account. This jade Ruyi, A-Niang should leave it to the eldest sister as a dowry, wishful thinking, wishful thinking! β
Zhai Shi frowned, and glanced at Xie Jingyi suspiciously, "Is that really the case?" Are you sure you're not stingy? β
Xie Jingyi smiled, she was indeed reluctant!
"What did A-Niang say! Am I that kind of person? Xie Jingyi said, lifting the paint in his hand, "Auntie, don't worry, I will never offend people." If you keep talking, the dim sum will be cold. I'm going back to try on clothes first! β
As she spoke, she dodged and dragged Qingping away, leaving Zhai Shi to shake her head helplessly, somehow, although Xie Jingyi was young, she had an inexplicable sense of knowledge when she spoke, which was convincing, although it was ridiculous, but she felt that what her daughter said was indeed very reasonable.
The master and servant walked all the way towards the small courtyard, "Third lady, you are so smart, even the chai boy wants to ask you for advice, listen to your go to the countryside to ask the people, and the lady also listens to you, how do you know so much, the slave is always empty-headed, swaying, and echoing." β
Xie Jingyi's feet shook, and she was almost not teased to death by Qingping, why is this girl so naΓ―ve!
"Am I so kind? I was thinking, aren't we going to start selling that blue cloth? The people next to him always have to waste a lot of effort to learn, but Chai Youchen is different, if he asks someone to hurry up and go to the palace to get a flower board, wouldn't he want to rob me of my business? β
"I'll fool him away first, and when I'm on my side, he'll come back, and it won't help. Did you know? β
Qingping froze in place, turned her head with difficulty, and glanced at the Qi State Mansion on the next wall.
Poor Second Prince Qi, he doesn't know anything about it.
β¦β¦
The next day, the governor's capital.
"Xi'er, why are you absent-minded today." The one who spoke was a little lady with a goose egg face, she had thick eyebrows and big eyes, wearing a jade crown, a sword hanging from her waist, and her legs were crossed.
The Guan family has been a military general for three generations of their ancestors, and in this generation, they have to know a daughter and raise a child as a man, and they will recruit sons-in-law in the future. Guan Zhuan made her tempered and baby Guan Hui knew tightly, with her appearance, no one dared to talk about it.
Song Guangxi glanced at the door again, "Xu Zixin, you know, right?" β
Guan Huizhi shook his head, "I know the beauties of the two Zhejiang realms, since I don't remember her, she must be ugly." The ugly man Moti was sick to his stomach. β
Song Guangxi was speechless, in this world, Guan Huizhi can be treated gently, and it is estimated that only Xie Jingyin is there.
Thinking of Xie Jingyin, Song Guangxi continued, "Xu Zixin, you don't know, Xie Jingyin, you always know, right?" Last time in Xu's Mansion, Xu Zixin still wanted to stick to Chai Erlang, but she didn't take care of herself, thinking that if she climbed up to Du Niangzi, she would be a role. β
"Her family wanted to step on the Xie family, and asked my aunt to carry the sedan chair, so I was so angry, I went back on the spot. That's it, I found out that the younger sister of Xie Jingyin's family has the same temperament as me, so I also gave her a post today. β
Guan Huizhi's trembling Erlang's legs stopped, "Jingyin is angry?" β
Song Guangxi shook his head, "It's not Xie Jingyin." β
Guan Huizhi was a little distracted, leaned down again, shook her legs, and the maid on the side hurriedly stuffed a small piece of snack into her mouth, "I've also seen her sister, barely ugly." β
Song Guangxi was stunned for a moment, "Your evaluation of her is not low." β
After all, Guan Hui knows that the beauty in the world is called beauty, and the beauty is barely ugly, and everyone else is ugly!
Song Guangxi said, glanced at the moon gate, stood up busily, and shouted happily, "Xie Jingyi, here and here!" β
Guan Huizhi followed her gaze, and at this look, she also stood up.
Xie Jingyi showed a standard smile with eight teeth, and walked over quickly, "Sister Song, I'm late." β
Song Guangxi waved his hand and circled around Xie Jingyi in surprise, "How come I have never seen your dress, tell me where it was made, I will also go to do the last one, and I will wear Xu Zixin angrily." Haha, put her red and green, set off like a melon skin. β
Song Guangxi said, stretched out his hand and touched it, this yarn is usually visible, and the appearance of the skirt is not novel, but the key is the painting on the skirt, there is nothing wrong, it is a painting. Xie Jingyi put the smoke and rain in the south of the Yangtze River on himself.
