Chapter 38: Stunned

"Miss, it's time to get up."

Lan Hai walked to the side of the bed and called Xiao Lingwei softly.

Xiao Ling muttered slightly unconsciously, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Lan Hai stepped forward and gently shook Xiao Lingwei's shoulder: "Miss, it's time to go and say hello to the old lady." ”

"Ah, you're so annoying, I'm so sleepy." Xiao Ling broke free of Lan Hai's hand slightly, slid down, and hid her head in the quilt.

Lan Hai showed a helpless look, Miss is not good at this, she loves to lie in bed, and she wakes up every morning, which is even more tiring than fighting.

Lan Hai lifted the quilt, leaving Xiao Lingwei with nowhere to hide.

Xiao Ling opened her eyes slightly, sat up and rubbed her eyes, and then glared at Lan Hai: "Sister Lan Hai is really getting more and more uncute." ”

Lan Hai couldn't cry or laugh, and was about to change her clothes after taking the clothes on the side, only to find out that the bed clothes on her were not the ones she wore last night.

Lan Hai was surprised in her heart, and then thought that the young lady must have secretly gone to see the sixth lady last night, and the sixth lady changed it for her, because this set of bed clothes was placed in the blue yarn cupboard in the main room of the sixth room.

Lan Hai pretended not to find out, and changed Xiao Ling's clothes casually, and said secretly in his heart: Eighth Young Master, the slave maid finally lived up to your request.

......

Old Madam Xiao looked around and said with a smile: "Today is the day for you to rest, you don't have to go to school, just accompany my old wife in the Evergreen Academy." ”

Several girls from the Xiao family said in unison: "Yes." ”

Because the Xiao family is located in Xiao Mansion, the children of other clansmen surnamed Xiao also live in Xiao Mansion to go to school, except for Xiao Lingwei, the five girls of the Xiao family are all attending classes in clan studies.

Old Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Hui: "Huihui, I heard that you are going to attend the banquet at the eldest princess's mansion in a few days. ”

Xiao Hui replied: "Yes, grandmother, the eldest princess invited her mother and me to the princess's mansion for a banquet in five days. ”

Hearing her words, the other girls all showed envious eyes.

Old Madam Xiao asked, "Are all the clothes for the banquet ready?" This is the first time you have gone to the eldest princess's mansion for a banquet, don't lose your courtesy and lose the face of our Xiao family. ”

"My mother has prepared clothes for me, which are customized in Tianyi Pavilion." Xiao Hui replied respectfully.

Hearing this, some of the girls were already jealous, and the handkerchief in their hands was twisted and twisted, but they did not dare to show it.

"The clothes are ready, but... I don't know what kind of jewelry to wear that day.

"Grandmother, you're someone who's seen a big scene, so why don't you help me make up your mind."

Xiao Hui looked at Mrs. Xiao, with a look of nervousness as a little girl going to the banquet for the first time, and asked the elders of the family because she couldn't make up her mind.

Old Madam Xiao said, "You change your clothes and show me first." ”

So, Xiao Hui ordered someone to take her new clothes, put them on, and stood in the middle of the house.

There was a sudden sound of inhalation in the room, and everyone had amazing expressions on their faces.

Xiao Min clenched the handkerchief tightly, maintaining a stiff smile on his face.

"Wow, the second sister is so beautiful." Xiao Ling circled around Xiao Hui slightly, bit her fingers and said, "It's like... It's like a fairy. ”

"Haha, you're sweet in this room." Old Madam Xiao was amused by her.

"That's what it was." Xiao Ling pursed her lips slightly.

Xiao Hui was happy in her heart, and smiled at Xiao Ling rarely.

Xiao Lingwei immediately exclaimed happily: "Grandmother, look, the fairy sister smiled at me." ”

"Ah, I'm going to be stunned."

As he spoke, as soon as he closed his eyes, his body fell down.

Lan Hai immediately rushed forward and grabbed her body.

Old Madam Xiao looked at such a play coldly, and fell into the chair with a smile.

Everyone laughed together, and Xiao Hui lowered her eyes with shame and pleasure.

"You cramped ghost." Old Madam Xiao pointed at Xiao Ling and scolded with a smile.

Xiao Ling opened her eyes slightly, got up from Lan Hai's arms, ran to Old Madam Xiao, and patted her chest with her little fat hand: "Okay, grandmother has laughed enough, let's give the second sister an idea." ”

Old Madam Xiao enjoyed her touching very much, sat upright, looked at Xiao Hui carefully, and said slowly: "This set of clothes is very good, it sets off my granddaughter even better." ”

After a pause, Old Madam Xiao sighed with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, Huihui is a big girl. ”

"Mama Gui, go to the warehouse and take out those sets of jewelry."

"Yes."

Old Madam Xiao looked at the girls: "I heard that Mr. said that you have made great progress in your recent schoolwork, so I prepared a set of jewelry for each of you." ”

The girls rejoiced in their hearts and hurriedly saluted and thanked: "Thank you, old lady (grandmother)." ”

Xiao Lingwei hurriedly asked, "Grandmother, what about me?" ”

The next moment, she wrinkled her face: "I haven't gone to school yet, so I definitely don't have my share." ”

Old Madam Xiao held her little fat hand and said with a smile: "Of course you have your share, how could grandmother forget you." ”

Xiao Ling happily threw herself into her arms and rubbed it: "Thank you, grandmother, grandmother is the best." ”

Old Madam Xiao picked her up and let her sit on her lap, looking at her with a smile, the expression on her face becoming more gentle.

When Xiao Hui saw this scene, the shyness on her face suddenly dissipated, a trace of jealousy flashed in her eyes, her hand clenched involuntarily, her hand touched the silky material, she immediately let go of her hand, and gently stroked the folds on her clothes.

Mama Gui took the jewelry with the ring and opened the box.

"This is the jewelry I have prepared for you, you can choose it yourself." Old Madam Xiao said.

There are a total of six boxes, and the boxes have the exclusive pattern of Bao Yu Xuan.

Baoyuxuan, this is the best jewelry shop in the capital, and the customers entertained are high-ranking officials, famous families, and even ladies in the palace. Buying an ordinary set of jewelry in it can cover the expenses of ordinary people for decades.

The six boxes are full of complete sets of jewelry, including jadeite, white jade, and gold, with exquisite patterns and exquisite carvings, which are worth a lot at a glance.

Xiao Hui's eyes stayed on the jadeite carved hairpins made of the best material, not only her, but also other people's eyes stayed on this set of jewelry.

Xiao Hui stepped back slightly and said to Xiao Min: "The eldest sister is the oldest, so let's pick the eldest sister first." ”

Xiao Min immediately said: "It's better for the second sister to pick first." ”

The two began to humble themselves, and neither of them would pick first.

Old Madam Xiao clapped her hands and said, "Just pick according to your age, Minmin, you come first." ”

Xiao Min said yes, stepped forward, reluctantly glanced at the jade carved hairpin, and took away the box containing the white jade jewelry.

Xiao Hui saw her actions and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to step to get the box of jade jewelry, when she heard Xiao Ling's voice:

"That green headdress is so beautiful, my mother said, I look best in a green headdress."

Xiao Hui was stunned.

This pause made Xiao Lingwei take the jade headdress from the box.

Xiao Lingwei took the jade headdress and gestured on her head, and asked Mrs. Xiao while gesturing: "Grandmother, look, isn't it very beautiful?" ”

Old Madam Xiao said with a smile: "Good-looking, good-looking, then this set of jewelry will be given to you." ”

"Nope." A sharp voice sounded.
