Chapter 54 and Gifts
At noon, Xun Xuan was walking back to Hanyunju after morning class, and happened to meet a half-dead guy halfway, and was dragged out of Anfu by his subordinates.
Xun Xuan looked at the little guy from a distance, and only felt that it was very familiar, so she spoke out and asked Qu You beside her to take a look.
Qu You went forward in response, pulled one of the subordinates and asked a few words, and then returned to Xun Xuan's side.
"What's going on?" Xun Xuan asked.
Qu You sighed and said, "That little guy is not the one who spread the wrong word a few days ago, and was sent to Mrs. Qin's door by us." Mrs. Qin had a good heart, but she didn't embarrass him much, and after ten boards, she sent people to the treasury to do miscellaneous work. ”
Xun Xuan nodded, only feeling strange: "Even if you are doing miscellaneous labor, how can you end up like this?" ”
Qu You sighed softly, walked forward slowly, and whispered in Xun Xuan's ear: "It's not that he was unlucky, he was met by the Liu family, and he was locked in the firewood room, and as a result, he contracted scabies, and now Anfu can't stay." ”
Xun Xuan frowned, didn't say anything more, and turned to leave.
"In a moment, you can quietly bring some silver and send it to the little guy." Returning to Hanyunju, Xun Xuan gave a slow command.
Qu You was stunned and looked at Xun Xuan in confusion: "Miss, what is there to sympathize with such a person?" ”
"It's okay, after all, people were guilty because of me, and now they are also a poor person at this point." Xun Xuan exhaled softly, and a trace of helplessness flashed in her cold eyes.
Qu Youxin reluctantly responded, took out some jewelry from Xun Xuan's box, and turned around and went out.
As soon as Qu You went out, Qi Yin followed in, retreated left and right, and then cautiously walked to Xun Xuan.
"Miss, there is a letter from King Zhao, saying that An Sheng is going to take the opportunity to convene his subordinates on the day of the second lady and Lu, and I heard that he wants to discuss something important." Chime whispered.
Xun Xuan paused, and her face sank slightly: "What's so exciting?" ”
Qi Yin shook his head: "His Royal Highness King Zhao wants you to inquire clearly, and then inform him." ”
Xun Xuan squinted her eyes and snorted coldly: "Jing Ying is really a good calculation. ”
"Miss, you can't call King Zhao by his name like this, be careful of being caught." Chi Yin looked around and reminded him carefully.
Xun Xuan pursed her lips, and turned her eyes to stare at Qi Yin angrily: "What?" Even you help him? ”
Chi Yin pursed her mouth innocently: "What is Miss talking about?" Chiyin naturally hopes that everything is right for the master! ”
Xun Xuan got up, fiddled with the flowers and plants in front of the window, and said lightly: "In a few days, it will be An Xuehan's gift, you go to the embroidery shop to find a decent embroidery, and I will send it to An Xuehan on that day." ”
"Your embroiderer is so good, why do you have to go outside to find embroidery?" Chitone asked.
Xun Xuan chuckled lightly and said calmly: "I won't waste my time on a useless thing, how do you expect An Xuehan to treat the gift I gave her?" If I gave her this stitch and thread embroidered by hand, wouldn't it be a waste in vain? ”
Qi Yin thought about it, so he didn't say anything, turned around and went out to do errands.
……
The day before An Xuehan and the day of the day, the heat of the midsummer weather reached the extreme, and the ladies of An Mansion hid in the house one by one and did not want to come out.
An Yixin came to An Xuehan's Changle Xuan at noon, sweating under the big sun.
An Xuehan was originally indifferent to An Yixin, she didn't like it, but she couldn't say that she didn't like it, but when she saw An Yixin coming on a hot day, An Xuehan's eyes were much more comfortable when she looked at her.
"My sister thought that tomorrow would be my sister's day, so I sent you a gift in advance, so that tomorrow the young lady and the lady will be giving gifts and comparing mine." An Yixin joked with a smile as she took the gift box from the maid's hand.
An Xuehan is also a decent person, although she is not close to An Yixin in her heart, she still has a smile on her face.
"What the third sister said, how can it be compared with your sister's mind, as long as it is sent by your own family, no matter what it is, my sister likes it." As she spoke, An Xuehan took it with a smile and put the gift box on the table beside her.
An Xuehan's eyes fell on An Yixin, who was sweating profusely, and asked with concern: "My sister is very hot?" After sweating so much, Ping'er, why don't you hurry up and take some ice lychees out and give them to the third sister to enjoy? ”
Lychees are rare, not to mention ice lychees, except for the two old ladies in the entire Anfu, only the Liu family and An Xuehan have them, this ice lychee is rewarded by the emperor to the ministers, which is a rare commodity.
An Xuehan was kind enough to give lychees to An Yixin, but in fact, she was just humiliating her in a different way.
After all, An Yixin is just a concubine, so naturally she is not qualified to share these things.
An Yixin's face did not change, and when she heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and said with a smile: "No, why are you embarrassed to trouble you so much, I just came to give my sister a gift, and I didn't stay long, so I went back." ”
"The third sister is in such a hurry? Why don't you sit for a while. With that, An Xuehan was about to stand up and send him off.
An Yixin hurriedly turned around and stopped: "Second sister, sit down, don't go out, the sun is big outside, you don't need to send it!" ”
"The third sister, be careful on the road, don't get heat stroke!" An Xuehan really didn't send it again, the person sat on the chair and cared for it loudly.
Seeing An Yixin's figure disappearing into Changle Xuan through the gap in the window, the hypocritical smile on An Xuehan's face gradually disappeared, and he glanced at the gift box contemptuously: "Cut...... What good things can she send me? Don't look at her shabby look, Miss Ben has nothing? Why her? ”
Ping'er, the maid on the side, also spoke out to cater to her: "Yes, these three young ladies usually look soft and weak, and the second master doesn't value her very much, I think she is usually thrifty, and her gift Miss doesn't have to be rare." ”
An Xuehan sneered: "But she looks soft and weak, and her ability to seduce people is not bad, Miss Ben wants to thank her well, if it weren't for her, Zhu Zixuan might not be able to pester me!" ”
"It's okay now, with such a shield as the third lady, I think that Zhu Gongzi has no face to pester you anymore, and now the Jingshi is spreading the news of the third young lady and Zhu Gongzi, and even the private meeting of the June Pavilion before was regarded by everyone as the third young lady's ugly." Ping'er said with a smile.
An Xuehan became more and more happy when she heard this, the scandal in the June Pavilion was her heart disease, and now that someone finally took the notoriety for her, how could she not be happy? After a while, I was interested, so I asked Ping'er to open the gift box.
After opening, inside is a delicately carved glass comb, smooth and translucent, very beautiful.
Although Ping'er saw that the comb style was good, she still echoed An Xuehan: "Miss, look, it's just a glass comb, and it's not worth a few dollars!" ”
"The carving is quite detailed, and the pattern is not bad," An Xuehan sneered, took the comb from Ping'er's hand, and tried to comb her hair at random, and it felt good to get started, "The third lady has a heart this time." ”
"Miss likes?" Ping'er said with a little surprise.
An Xuehan glanced at the glass comb lightly, and said lightly: "I don't like it, it's just a good handy, Ming'er and Lu Li, let my mother use it to comb my hair!" ”
After speaking, she casually threw the glass comb on the table, turned around and went into the back room.
……
The next day, An Xuehan's gift of harmony.
Ansheng has always attached great importance to An Xuehan's daughter, and this time the gift is naturally not surprising.
Xun Xuan and An Xinyue stood in the corner on the side, looking at An Xuehan with a glorious face, and An Anyue's face was a little more emotional.
"The second sister is really happy, I think about my gift back then, my father was busy with business, and I almost forgot, but my mother was still worried about it, and I personally coiled a flying fairy bun, and this is the end."
Xun Xuan looked at Anxinyue, and at the same time, the treatment of her daughter-in-law was so different that everyone would have a comparison.
"Big cousin, don't be sad, no matter how you say it, you are much better than me, the next year will be Ah Zhi's year, but there is not even a person with hair, you are already lucky compared to Ah Zhi." Xun Xuan smiled and comforted.
When An Xinyue heard Xun Xuan say this, she suddenly felt no longer sad in her heart, but her eyes looked at Xun Xuan with a little more pity.
"Cousin, don't say that, even if my aunt is gone, I will also beg my mother to coil your hair for you, so that you will not be wronged." An Xinyue hurriedly relieved.
When Xun Xuan heard this, she smiled casually: "Okay, then I'm going to trouble my aunt at that time." ”
The two were talking, but An Xuehan's salute had already begun.
An Xuehan wore a gold silk and white pattern epiphany rain silk brocade skirt, and stepped on a pair of treasure pattern cloud head brocade shoes, looking noble and generous, and glamorous.
Liu Shi was also dressed appropriately, with a gentle smile on his face, holding a glass comb, and gently coiling a tassel bun under the gaze of everyone.
With her hair in a bun, An Xuehan slowly stood up, her noble face full of arrogance.
After the hair was over, everyone began to give gifts.
"Zhu Taishi, a pair of golden silk fragrant wood inlaid cicada jade beads!"
"Dali Siqing, a jade jade pendant!"
"Tobe squire, a pair of silver magpie beads!"
……
"Golden silk peony ayapa? Isn't this a new style that just came out of the clouds a few days ago? This Xun girl actually bought a handkerchief to fool the second lady at the ceremony, this is too much to say, right? Some of the young ladies around who had studied embroidery began to whisper.
An Sheng's face was also very ugly, and he walked to Xun Xuan's side, and said in a slightly accusatory tone: "Ah Zhi, if you are really short of silver, you can tell your second uncle, how can you just buy an embroidery to embarrass people?" ”
An Xuehan's face turned red with anger, and she said coldly: "Father, I think Xun Zhi is clearly deliberately trying to embarrass me!" ”
