，

Lin sighed lightly: "Alas, who Sister Ru marries, I have my sister-in-law to worry about, I just hope that my Qing'er will be safe and smooth in the second half of her life." ”

Compared with the Liu family's full of hatred, the Lin family has no resentment, and the person in the big house can make the Lin family have a grudge is only one Xie Qi. Lin remembered that Xie Qi pushed Xie Qing into the water and almost killed her.

Liu's prefect's wife, who has been the prefect for many years, has long learned to restrain her emotions, and immediately put away her hatred for Li, and said with a smile: "What the second sister-in-law said is that as long as her daughter marries a good family, it will be a matter of our hearts to be mothers." Taking advantage of this old lady's birthday banquet, you can take a good look at the second sister-in-law, if there is a suitable one. ”

Lin nodded: "That's it." I'll give Qing'er a look first, but I still have to nod my head. At this point, Lin is a mother who is rare to be transparent, and she hopes that her son-in-law is what her daughter wants to marry, rather than simply the words of her parents.

And at that time, Xie Qing was pulling Xie Ya to embroider tweed, and it was good for two girls of the same age to talk and laugh with each other, but an uninvited guest came.

"Why is the big sister here?" Xie Qing's eyebrows raised slightly.

Xie Ru rarely set foot in Qinglan Courtyard on weekdays.

Xie Ru took the box in the hand of the maid behind him, and smiled at Xie Ya: "Third sister, I don't see that you don't have much jewelry, so I brought some beautiful hairpins over." ”

Saying that, he opened the box, "These are the latest nowadays, this hosta was given to me by my aunt, I see that the third sister has fair skin, it is very suitable for you, come, sister will put it on for you." ”

"Thank you big sister, it's just that there are so many jewelry, Ya'er really doesn't need it, thank you big sister for your kindness." Xie Ya had a good impression of Xie Ru, but Liu often taught her that she was soft-handed, and she still refused.

Xie Ya stepped back, Xie Ru pounced in the air, her expression froze, and she instantly regained her gentle and atmospheric smile, "Third sister, it's just a few pieces of jewelry, you and my sister, you don't have to be polite to my sister." ”

Looking at Xie Ru's smiling and gentle and polite appearance, Xie Ya frowned, in front of Xie Qing, she was so enthusiastic and gave so many jewelry, Xie Qing is also her cousin, but she didn't score, which is not good.

Whether Xie Qing cares or not, it is inevitable that it will be fair to do so. Xie Ya even felt as if Xie Ru hadn't seen Xie Qing at all, completely ignoring it.

Xie Ya quietly looked at Xie Qing, only to see Xie Qing bowing his head and embroidering, as if he hadn't heard it.

"Big sister, Ya'er really doesn't need these, you better take it back, big sister's kindness, I understand it." Xie Ya excused herself again, she couldn't stand Xie Ru's enthusiasm.

Xie Ru looked at Xie Ya at Xie Qing's eyes, and said with a smile: "The third sister is worried that I only gave you and didn't give the fifth sister, and the fifth sister will not be able to eat it?" They are all sisters, how can I, the eldest sister, favor one over the other, it's just that when you first come to the capital, you are no better than the fifth sister who lives with us. ”

Xie Qing raised his head, and the corners of his lips were lightly raised: "Qing'er won't taste it, big sister, don't say bad things about Qing'er." ”

Xie Qing's words were slightly disgusted, but it didn't make people think that she was sarcastic, but there was a bit of coquettishness in it.

But Xie Ru didn't ignore it, just now Xie Qing looked at her, and it was clearly full of sarcasm, and her heart suddenly sank. The meaning of Xie Qing's words is clear, what you give you, don't use me Xie Qing as a pawn.

Xie Qing and Xie Ya, one made sarcastic remarks, the other refused to accept it, the heavy jewelry in Xie Ru's hand became chicken ribs, and it was not given away, nor was it taken back. Xie Ru has seen good things that are not good, and she doesn't put a few pieces of jewelry in her eyes, but in order to win over Xie Ya, she even took out the things that Concubine Shu rewarded, and she also used her heart, but now her mind is trampled underfoot.

"Thank you big sister for your care, it's just that Ya'er can't stand these jewelry, please take it back to the big sister." This is the third time Xie Ya has refused.

Xie Ru only felt a sigh of gambling, held back the anger in his heart, and said with a smile: "Okay, since the third sister refused, then I can't be strong." ”

His eyes fell on the embroidered cloth in Xie Qing's hand, "The third sister is teaching the fifth sister embroidery?" She thought that at the old lady's place, Xie Qing deliberately said it in order to tie up the three rooms, but she didn't expect Xie Qing to really find Xie Ya to teach her embroidery.

Xie Qing raised his eyes and looked at her: "What?" Is Big Sister also interested? Why don't we embroider together? ”

"No, I still have to help my mother prepare for the birthday banquet, so I don't have time to embroider." Xie Ru hurriedly refused. Embroidery girl, she doesn't know, but she may be slightly inferior to Xie Ya, but her goal is not to be an embroiderer, what is the use of embroidery.

Xie Qing didn't say anything, just continued to do his own thing, "Third sister, how to change the stitches in this place, I don't know how to do it." ”

Xie Ya hurriedly picked up the needle and demonstrated to Xie Qing: "This place should be extra careful, pass through here, and then ......"

The two girls embroidered with great interest, and for a while Xie Ru stood in place, as if she had been excluded, she had nothing to do, and she was very embarrassed, so she simply took her leave.

"Big sister is leaving, Qing'er won't send it."

Xie Ru's face was sneering, she really came and returned disappointed, and the maid painted Qiu's sharp eyes, "Miss, isn't that the third lady?" ”

When Xie Ru looked over, he saw the Liu family and the Lin family going out together, and it seemed that they were talking happily.

"Sure enough, it's a concubine, and you can't lift it!" Xie Ru reprimanded coldly. She was first dismissed by Xie Ya, and now she saw the Liu family and the Lin family smiling Yan Yan, only to feel a slap in the face.

Hua Qiu is a talker, and hurriedly took over: "Miss, don't be angry, our eldest lady is the main mother in charge of the feed, she doesn't stammer, but is close to the helpless second room, this is like gathering people in groups, you don't know them in general." ”

However, he got a cold look from Xie Ru: "Shut up!" How can these words be said nonsense! This is the Mansion of the Marquis of Zhongyong, don't you know what to say and what not to say. ”

Although it was a reprimand, but the reprimanding was that Huaqiu said this at this time, not that what she said was wrong, in fact, what Huaqiu said was so right that Xie Ru was in trouble. She wooed the third room, that is also condescending, if it is in the court, this should also be Corporal Lixian, but Liu and Xie Ya do not give face, Xie Ru only feels that he can't get out of his heart with a sullen breath.

"The slave knows what is wrong." Seeing that his master's face was not good, Huaqiu hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.

Xie Ru waved his hand: "You get up, don't kneel here if you want to kneel." "Xie Ru has always been a kind and demure lady, if her maid is seen kneeling down and begging for mercy, then maybe what people will think.

Huaqiu hurriedly stood up neatly, and he didn't dare to come out of the atmosphere, for fear that in addition to the eldest lady's moldy head. Huaqiu was silent, and the other maids didn't dare to speak, and they were quiet and scary for a while.

"Useless stuff!" Xie Ru snorted and rubbed her eyebrows, "Go and find the fourth lady." ”

……

This day is Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet, Xie Qing got up early, and Xiaowan and Lingzhi waited for her to freshen up.

"Miss, you might as well wear a festive dress today." Lingzhi was in charge of choosing a dress for Xie Qing, thinking that today was Mrs. Xie's birthday banquet, so she couldn't wear plain clothes like she did on weekdays.

Xie Qing glanced at the water-red dress in Lingzhi's hand and shook his head: "Don't be red, you want that water-blue cigarette dress." ”

Miss spoke, Lingzhi pursed her mouth, she could only put down the water-red dress, muttering in her heart, Miss doesn't like red, and these red dresses will be pressed at the bottom of the box in the future.

Lingzhi waited for Xie Qing to get dressed, and said with a smile: "Miss, you don't like red clothes, what should you do when you get married in the future?" ”

Xiaowan took over and said with a smile: "Our young lady has a personality, and she can wear whatever color she wants." Who said you have to wear red to get married? ”

"You two girls, one sentence on the left is married, and one sentence is married, do you have a crush on someone and want to get married? Do you want me to fulfill you? Xie Qing said angrily.

Suddenly, the two girls' faces froze, and they hurriedly explained: "No, no, the slave maid still has to serve the young lady, so she doesn't want to get married." ”

Xiao Wan pouted at Lingzhi, look, it's all you, you said the wrong thing. Lingzhi shrugged his nose, I was wrong, woo.

In order to line Xie Qing's skirt, Lingzhi deliberately chose a step shake of the same color, and the blue tassels hung down between the buns, swaying and colorful, quite charming.

"Miss is so beautiful today." Lingzhi is very satisfied with his masterpiece.

Xie Qing looked at himself in the bronze mirror, this face was also extremely beautiful, trimming his eyebrows and nose, a pair of eyes were clear and watery, and his face was delicate and beautiful. In terms of appearance, I am afraid that this face is more delicate than Li Yunqing's face in the past, and Li Yunqing is even less temperamental, and this face is the real beauty of a woman's face.

Raise your hand to touch your face, it doesn't matter if it's beautiful or not, but if this face can help you achieve your goals, it's worth it. Appearance is a woman's best weapon, but Li Yunqing has been educated by Li Mu since she was a child, and women can also be like men, with their own furrows in their chests, and they can crisscross the world with their brains and bearing, so beauty tricks must not be used unless they have to.

"Our young lady is the most beautiful, if you want the slave to say, young lady, you are more beautiful than any eldest lady and second lady." Xiao Wan said with a smile.

Xie Qingwan smiled: "Okay, you can't eat beautiful food, you guys, don't be poor." ”

After cleaning up, Xie Qing checked it again and confirmed that nothing was missing.

"Xiaowan, you take the birthday gift and be careful." Xie Qing's eyes were deep, and the meaning was meaningful, and the meaning was naturally understood.
