Chapter 36: Falling into the Lake

Dressed in a lake-green light shirt, with a round face of goose eggs but with a bit of petite cuteness, not as domineering as Qiao Chuxi, on the contrary, a little more shy and shy, it is the fourth lady of the Hou Mansion, Qiao Churan

There were too many people in the front hall yesterday, and what happened one after another, Qiao Nianxi didn't notice this child much, plus the child was originally a weak character, although the relationship with the original owner was not bad before, but he still didn't dare to come forward to talk.

"Third sister!"

Qiao Churan saw Qiao Nianxi's gaze fall on him, his face flushed, and he saluted her, in good manners, but he had a little more of Miss Gaomen's demeanor than Qiao Chulian and Qiao Chuxi.

Qiao Nianxi also returned the salute, and her expression softened a lot.

When the old lady saw these two people, she felt a little more satisfied, and raised her hand to her granddaughters and said, "The sixth day of the next lunar month is the Fengyuan banquet, and it just so happens that Yanyun Villa has a new batch of materials, so I will ask for a few more batches to make new clothes for your sisters." ”

When everyone heard this, their faces were filled with joy, and when they saw the old lady raising her hand, several mothers came in from outside carrying boxes.

When the maid opened the box, everyone's eyes widened instantly, and the smile on their faces became even brighter.

This batch of materials is indeed different from the past, the yarn is fine yarn, from the luster and texture, it should be a special silk of Yunzhou, which is much more rare and precious than usual.

The richer the person, the more he picks at the door, what he wants, Qiao Chulian is such a person, the old lady has not yet spoken, she is impatient to go over and pick it first.

It's just that when she saw that the box was already ready-to-wear, the excitement on her face instantly froze.

The old lady looked at Qiao Chu like this, and the corners of her lips hooked, in previous years, when things were divided, the sisters were always noisy, but this year they simply made ready-to-wear clothes, each person is of different sizes, so naturally there is no room for quarrels.

"The colors and styles of the clothes are all chosen by me for you, so go and get them separately!"

After the old lady finished speaking, she lowered her head and took a sip of tea, watching the sisters go to get their clothes, and her face showed a little satisfaction.

Everyone was beautiful, they received their own clothes, and their faces were also happy, and the styles and colors were made according to their own preferences, although they did not discuss with everyone in advance, the clothes made were also in line with everyone's wishes.

Qiao Nianxi didn't move from the beginning when she stood on the side, there were six sisters, but there were only five sets of clothes, obviously there was no hers in it.

The sisters have always liked to compare together, and when everyone looked at others, they all noticed that Qiao Nianxi was standing to the side empty-handed, with a bit of schadenfreude on his face.

"Hey, aren't there any clothes for the third sister here?"

Qiao Xinyu felt sorry for Qiao Nian's grievances, and couldn't help but remind the old lady.

The old lady drank tea and looked up, originally thinking that Qiao Nianxi would be annoyed and angry, she took this opportunity to set some rules for her, but she didn't want to, people stood there calmly and indifferently without being affected in the slightest!

Retracting her gaze, the old lady put the cup on the table, and the bottom of the cup slammed on the table, bringing out a sound, and the sound shook in everyone's hearts for a long time before dissipating.

"Your third sister is making clothes for the first year, and I don't know her body size yet, so naturally there is no way to do it. ”

The old lady's eyes swept over Qiao Nianxi's face, and seeing that she was still calm and indifferent, she seemed to be a little helpless and continued: "I left a piece of fabric for your third sister, and I will make it after Tailor Zhao measures her body." ”

Everyone's faces changed when they heard this, Tailor Zhao is a tailor dedicated to the old lady all year round, and no young lady has ever had the honor of letting Tailor Zhao make a set of clothes, what kind of ecstasy did this Qiao Nian give the old lady!

For a while, everyone looked at Qiao Nianxi's eyes with a little more jealousy, even Qiao Chuying, who was usually gentle and gentle, although she tried her best to control her expression, but the tightly clenched hands and nails were almost in the palms.

"Thank you, Grandmother!"

Qiao Nianxi saluted the old lady, and a light smile appeared on her face.

No matter what the old lady's reason is, she gave it, and Qiao Nianxi continued, the old lady's side was always going to win over.

"Tailor Zhao is for my grandmother, and she never makes clothes for others, so let other tailors make them for Sister Sanzhang!"

Qiao Chuxi looked unhappy, and reached out to hold the old lady's arm and shook it lightly as he spoke.

The old lady glanced at everyone and said, "Nianxi's clothes have no pattern, they need to be re-measured, and seeing that the Fengyuan banquet is coming, I'm afraid that I will miss the time by handing it over to other tailors." ”

This made everyone convinced, after all, it is also a fact, how can it take a month to re-tailor, and there are still more than ten days before the Fengyuan banquet, which is obviously not enough.

Looking at the clear expressions on everyone's faces, the old lady looked at Qiao Nianxi again, and her face looked a little better.

Maybe the people of the Zhang family can also participate in this Fengyuan banquet, and when the time comes, they will see that Qiao Nianxi is better than the other young ladies, and maybe they won't have any problems for the Zhenguo Mansion.

The old lady thought wishful thinking, and looked at Qiao Nianxi's gaze a little gentle.

The crowd couldn't say anything else, so they took their clothes and said goodbye to the old lady, and left the Yanshou Temple.

Although Qiao Chulian didn't say anything in front of the old lady, she was still not convinced, except for the courtyard, she came to Qiao Nianxi.

"Since the third sister has returned home, I, as an elder sister, have to remind you that Tailor Zhao is making clothes for the palace, and your identity as a concubine is not worthy of wearing the clothes he makes. ”

While speaking, Qiao Chulian raised her arrogant head, and the jade bracelet on her hand was exposed again, watching everyone's eyes fall on her wrist, and the corners of her lips provoked a touch of pride.

Qiao Xinyu saw Qiao Chulian bullying people like this, and her eyes widened and she was about to open her mouth to reason, but she didn't want to be pulled by Qiao Nianxi.

Qiao Nianxi stopped and glanced at Qiao Chulian, it was originally the jade in front of her, she was stunned as if she hadn't seen it, and the look of disregard in her eyes made the smugness in the corners of Qiao Chupian's eyes freeze on her face.

"The clothes were made by the grandmother Zhao Tailor, and the grandmother naturally had the final say on whether they were worthy or not, if the second sister felt unhappy, she would go and tell her grandmother, or, you would take the clothes directly when they were ready. ”

After speaking, the corners of Qiao Nianxi's lips were slightly raised, originally a gentle expression, but it made Qiao Chulian break out in a cold sweat, and subconsciously retreated a few steps back.

Just take it away?

But Qiao Chuxi wanted to take her head and face away directly, and in the end, her head was broken, who would dare to take things directly from her!

"Who, who's going to take your clothes!"

Qiao Chu took pity on his neck, hurriedly put down a sentence, flicked his sleeves and left.

Qiao Nianxi didn't chase after her, she stretched out her hand and pulled Qiao Xinyu forward, and the two of them walked and said a few words from time to time, which became a rare touch of harmony in the town's Guohou Mansion.

Everyone followed along the way, thinking about their own thoughts, although they were also unwilling, but seeing that Qiao Chulian was deflated just now, the words he was going to say were swallowed back into his stomach.

"Third sister, look, this is the centripetal lake, the water of this lake is brought from the suburbs, and there are some fish and shrimp, and it is cool by the shallow lake in summer!"

Turning a corner and coming down the corridor, Qiao Xinyu stretched out his hand and pointed to the centripetal lake in the distance, and turned to Qiao Nianxi with excitement on his face.

Qiao Nianxi looked at Qiao Xinyu's hand, looked at the endless lake, and admired the solid family background of the Zhenguo Marquis Mansion in her heart.

In modern times, there is a swimming pool is a mansion, this is a lake, a lake that cannot be seen, and a natural lake that is directly drained over!

"What a big lake!"

Qiao Nian sighed, and when he saw Qiao Chuying next to him, he added: "You can't play by the lake in the future, what if you are pushed down again!"

Qiao Chuying shuddered, subconsciously pushed a step back, looked up at the corners of Qiao Nianxi's lips, and clenched her back molars.

"This kind of thing is just an accident, and it will definitely not happen again in the future, but the third sister is right, the sixth sister can't swim, and she can't play by the lake in the future, in case she really accidentally falls into the water, it is not easy to be discovered." ”

Resentment is resentment, but Qiao Chuying is a dignified and virtuous example after all, she forcibly suppressed the anger in her heart and quickly turned back.

Qiao Xinyu looked up at Qiao Chuying, did not answer, but hid behind Qiao Nianxi!

"With the lesson from last time, I believe that the sixth sister will not go to the lake to play, big sister, don't worry!"

Qiao Nianxi didn't seem to care, but since it came out of her mouth, it was like a silver needle, piercing Qiao Chuying's heart.

Qiao Chuying's back molars were about to be crushed, but she couldn't say anything, she really couldn't believe that Qiao Nianxi, who was originally timid and cowardly, had become so sharp-tongued!

Qiao Nianxi saw that Qiao Chuying's face was ugly, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, and didn't say anything more, she stretched out her hand and pulled Qiao Xinyu to the bridge.

Seeing that Qiao Chuying didn't get anything good here in Qiao Nianxi, Qiao Chulian and Qiao Chuxi sneered in unison, raised their feet and went to the bridge.

Qiao Churan, who had not spoken much, had a little more worry on his face, and originally wanted to say something to ease the atmosphere, but after thinking about it, he still didn't dare to speak, and the silk handkerchief in his hand was about to be twisted into a hemp rope.

It's still early autumn, and the weather is still hot, but the moment you step on the bridge, a slightly wet wind blows, and after hitting people's faces, it becomes a little cool, and it is indescribably comfortable.

"Third sister, there are still fish in the shade at the bottom of this bridge!"

Qiao Xinyu saw that Qiao Nianxi seemed to enjoy the feeling of standing on the bridge, and reached out to pull her, directly taking her to the place where fish and shrimp usually gather.

Sure enough, there are a lot of small fish gathered at the bottom of the bridge, including koi fish with color, and fish and shrimp that should be introduced from the lake.

Hearing this, the sisters followed, and looked curiously in the direction of Qiao Xinyu, and the smell of gunpowder just now dissipated instantly.

However, the smoke of gunpowder was dispersed, but someone set up a cold arrow.

Just when Qiao Nianxi looked down, Qiao Chulian quietly walked around her back, and stretched out her hand at the moment when everyone was not paying attention.

It seems that things feel the breath behind him, Qiao Nianxi subconsciously looked into the water, and just happened to see Qiao Chulian's hand stretched out towards him, and the moment the corners of his lips were hooked, his feet moved.

"Ahh
