Chapter 20: Headbands

After being busy for many days, Xianchen felt tired and tired, and it turned out that the carefree things that had been were all earned by the elders in the last day. Now that Aunt Jiang has entrusted the big things to her, Mrs. Xiao has returned to her parents' house to hand over all the affairs of the house to her...... Thinking of this, I thought of the little maid and the red jade that Xiao Yu'er said, and my heart was full of doubts and doubts. Although the night was deep, he did not feel sleepy, and asked outside, "What time is it?" ”

Tonight in the dust house is Caixia, Caixia is a wooden person and does not like to talk. Hearing Xianchen's shout, he put on his clothes, walked over with a lamp, and said, "The leaky pot shows that it is already a child."

Xianchen saw that she was holding a green bamboo lamp in her hand, and her sullen and stunned expression was unexpectedly distracted for a moment.

Seeing that Xianchen didn't speak, Caixia said, "What do you have to say?" ”

"It's okay, you stand down, this lamp is beautiful, leave it for me."

"Yes." With that, Caixia put the lamp on the dresser and withdrew.

Xianchen looked at the light, saw the carved drawer of the dresser sit up violently, and said in his heart: "By the way, he gave me a 'return gift' that day, and when he came back that day, he was tired and sleepy, put his things down and fell asleep, and he was busy all these days, and he completely forgot about it." As he thought about it, he rolled over and sat down at the dresser.

The mahogany carved box lay quietly inside, and Xian Chen stretched out his slender snow-white hands and gently took it out. Eyes full of anticipation and a little nervous open, yay! Inside was a smaller, more delicate coral gilded box. "This Yunyi is really a little old-fashioned, layer after layer of things," Xian Chen sneered in his heart.

Slim Dust carefully took out the coral box again and opened it, his heart beating more nervously than before. The coral box slowly opened, and inside was a blue hairband, on which many begonia flowers were embroidered with extremely fine silk threads, and the embroidery was extremely delicate.

"There is a woman's thing in Yunyi's room?"

"Isn't he a good friend? No, who wants to be nice to him if he's so boring......"

"I was specially prepared for ...... Yan Xianchen, do you dare to be thicker? ”

"Why did you give me this?"

"Shall I wear it tomorrow?"

After thinking about it wildly, he didn't realize that he had forgotten all his previous troubles. She tied the headband around her wrist and lay back on the bed. Raised his hand and looked at the headband stupidly, and smiled even more stupidly.

A familiar and melodious Xiao sound remembered, and Xian Chen immediately heard that this was the Xiao sound he heard during the time of recuperation, but this time, it seemed to be heard more clearly than before, and the feelings of the were fuller. She listened intently, and the hairband in front of her was blurred unconsciously.

Under the green bamboo lamp, a girl who does not use powder, is delicate and lovely, and has fallen asleep soundly at the moment, the corners of her mouth are slightly raised, as if she is deep in a sweet dream......

Early the next morning, Xiao Yu'er led two little maids in with their toiletries and said, "Miss, get up and clean up quickly, Madame is back." ”

Xianchen had to uncover the quilt, sat up and said, "Mother is back, when did she come back?" ”

"I came back last night, Miss hurry up and dress up and go over to say goodbye, Mrs. hasn't seen Miss for a few days, I think I must miss Miss very much, doesn't Miss miss Mrs. very much?" Xiao Yuer said.

Xianchen quickly finished combing, and today she was wearing a white phoenix tail pleated skirt, combing a simple braid and tying the blue hairband. Elegant as a lotus, beautiful as jasmine, the eyebrows are not thick, and the lips are not red, such a dress not only does not hide her beauty at all, but also adds a nobleness.

Xiao Yu'er nodded and said, "Miss is dressed up really well today, and this headband is also very good, such a retro style is in vogue nowadays." ”

"Vintage?"

"It's the style of more than ten or decades ago that is back to being liked by the current people." Xiao Yu'er still knows a little more about women's clothing and accessories than Xian Chen.

"It was a decade ago or decades ago...... "Slim Dust said.

"Miss, let's hurry over, maybe Miss can have breakfast at Madame's." Xiao Yu'er urged and joked.

"Dead girl, am I greedy?"

The two of them walked out of Jingyuan with a smile, Xian Chen thought that Mrs. Xiao was back, and he could mess around every day again, and his heart was happy and even his steps were brisk, and he said Qin Fangyuan after a while.

Mrs. Xiao didn't like to wear some concubine-colored clothes as in the past, and today she wore a dark green dress with dark flowers, and she didn't wear a step on her head, only a jade hairpin. His face was pale and haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and his sideburns seemed to have two gray hairs. In just a few days of separation, Mrs. Xiao seemed to be ten years old, and Xianchen couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart, and suddenly her previous happiness was gone.

"Mother" walked over obediently and saluted.

When Mrs. Xiao saw Xian Chen coming, she barely cheered up, and was about to say something, when she saw Xiao Qiuwan coming over slowly, and her hand unconsciously touched her stomach.

"Greetings to my mother," Xiao Qiuwan said slightly.

"You don't have to bow because you're heavy, but you have breakfast?" Mrs. Xiao got up and picked her up.

"I've used it, I've been hungry in the morning recently, and I only came here after using it, so it's too late." Xiao Qiuwan glanced at the Xianchen beside Mrs. Xiao and said, "My sister got up early today. ”

"When my mother comes back, I should just come over and say goodbye."

Mrs. Xiao ordered someone to pass breakfast and said, "You can also accompany me to use it more, your sister has never used it if she wants to, let's talk about it." ”

Xiao Qiuwan and Xianchen both nodded yes.

Although "I can't say anything", it can be seen that Mrs. Xiao is worried and has no appetite, Xian Chen still can't help but say: "Mother should take care of her body, she has lost a lot, how is my grandfather's condition?" ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Xiao burst into tears, took out a handkerchief and wiped it, and said, "I'm unconscious, I don't know anyone anymore, it's just a matter of life." There's a mess in this house, and I can't let go of it, so I have to come back first. ”

I never thought that Xiao Guogong's illness had reached this step, Xiao Qiuwan and Xianchen looked at each other, not knowing what to do. Xiao Qiuwan wept silently, and Xianchen was also secretly sad.

Seeing the appearance of the two of them, Mrs. Xiao comforted: "The 'matter' of the Xiao family has been prepared early, so it is regarded as Chongxi." The only thing left is to resign yourself to the destiny of heaven. Don't be too sad, the days to come will go on after all. ”

"Yes," she said, with a restrained expression.

How did Xianchen not know the stakes of this matter, one is that Xiao Guogong is Mrs. Xiao's father, and his blood is thicker than water; Second, once Xiao Guogong has three longs and two shorts, Mrs. Xiao will have no backing, and the road ahead will be full of thorns. Xiao Qiuwan is attached to the Yan family, one is prosperous, and one is lost. And Xianchen is the only daughter of the Yan family...... But the matter has come to this point, and the thin dust is open-minded, but it can still be stabilized.

After the three of them calmed down a little, Xian Chen resigned and returned the right to be the housekeeper to Mrs. Xiao. The three of them talked again, and they dispersed.

Xian Chen resigned from Mrs. Xiao and did not go back to Jingyuan directly, but took a rest in a pavilion not far from Qinfang Garden. The pavilion is surrounded by water on all sides, only a wooden bridge across the lake can be passed, and after a while, I saw a woman with a bee's waist and shoulders, duck egg face, and bright eyes coming in the distance. As soon as Madame returned home, she was about to call me immediately. ”

Xian Chen got up and saluted solemnly: "Sister Rose must not be able to come out for too long, so I will say it directly, please Sister Rose don't tell her mother about the red jade for the time being, I want to deal with it myself." ”
