Huaxi got up and freshened up slightly, changed into a plain white dark pattern silk shirt and a crepe skirt of the same color, and did not apply powder on her face, and asked Hongliu to hold up an oil-paper umbrella and go out of the courtyard.

The sun was hot, and the ground was hot. Where there is no shade, you can feel the scorching heat of the sun through the oil-paper umbrella.

When he arrived at the Lotus Fragrance Courtyard, Huaxi's forehead was already covered with fine sweat. Standing still to wipe the sweat on her forehead, the big girl next to the old lady had already greeted her and saluted.

"The sun is too poisonous, so the girl hurried into the house to rest."

Huaxi nodded in return and asked, "Is there anyone else in the old lady's house?" ”

Cha Xiang replied, "After taking a nap after lunch, Uncle Xiao's wife came. Miss Xiao Wu was pointed out to the King of Thailand by the Queen Mother, and her uncle came to report a message to the old lady. I'm still talking in the house. The old lady is looking for someone to call you over, and Wang's mother is waiting in the house, and there is no one around. ”

Huaxi usually gave Cha Xiang, the maids in the old lady's house, stuffed incense and purses and other small items, which really came in handy at this time.

"Thank you, Sister Chaxiang! Lilac told me last time that my sister's embroidery work is good, I just got a few purses, the pattern is good, and I have to come to my yard to sit and help me see how to embroider. ”

Cha Xiang smiled and agreed.

While speaking, he had already arrived at the main house of the inner courtyard, and Cha Xiang sang outside the door: "Miss Huaxi has come to say hello to the old lady." ”

Mother Wang walked out and took Huaxi directly to the inner room.

"Old lady, uncle's wife, Miss Huaxi is here."

Huaxi stepped into the room, the old lady and a woman were sitting on the kang and talking, the woman was in her forties, her hair was not messy, she was wearing two silver phoenix wings and silver hairpins in a bun, and she was wearing a stone blue lotus dark lake silk dress, her face was like a full moon, and although her eyebrows and eyes were dyed with wind and frost, she could see the chic charm of the past.

Huaxi came in to salute, and Xiao introduced her and said, "This is your uncle's wife, come to see her." This is the girl I told you about in the evening. ”

Xiao's non-evasion made Huaxi slightly surprised.

"Huaxi greets my uncle's wife!"

"Good boy, get up quickly, come over and let my uncle take a look." Zhao got off the kang, pulled Huaxi closer, looked up and down, reached out and took off a string of beeswax beads from his wrist and put it on Huaxi's hand, "Mrs. Uncle didn't bring you any meeting gifts, take it!" ”

Huaxi looked at Xiao Shi, saw her nodding in agreement, and curtled her knees, "Uncle Xie's wife." ”

"Good! Looking at the small appearance, it really hurts. Put it in anyone's house, you have to hold it in the palm of your hand and not let you be wronged. ”

Zhao smiled with crooked eyebrows, and his eyes were exactly the same as Xiao Wu's.

praising you on the surface, but in fact, it means something else. It's really a kind of rice to raise a hundred kinds of people, what kind of people raise what kind of daughters.

The moment Huaxi looked down shyly, she caught a glimpse of the gloomy color flashing in Xiao's eyes.

"Yes! Although Huaxi grew up in the mountains, she is not lost to these girls in the house. The ability to blend perfumery is also among the top. The best thing about this child is sincerity and filial piety, and when he heard that I had a headache, he was anxious to get me incense. It's too late for me to hurt her, I'm really afraid that she will marry out and be bullied by others in the future, and I'm going to ask a grandmother who has retired from the palace to train her well. ”

Zhao's expression changed.

They also knew exactly what the Mu family had in mind at the beginning, who entered the palace and didn't enter? Although the line of the princess of Thailand was set up by the Mu family herself, she did not let go of the quasi-words, and turned her head and said that she would leave the door of the prince. Since all of this is directed at his family, his family naturally cannot afford to miss this opportunity.

Besides, now that Xiao Wu's matter has been decided, with Huaxi's identity, the Mu family thinks that if she follows, she can only be a room or something. Originally, it didn't hurt to have more than one person, but I heard Xiao Wu talk about Huaxi's appearance and character, plus the incense recipe was from her, so it couldn't let people follow into the palace.

She came today to find out the wind and see if she could suppress this matter, I thought my sister-in-law would be angry, but I didn't expect to laugh and chat with her, but she just didn't pick up, turned her head and called someone directly. She was afraid that Xiao would take the lead in mentioning this matter, so she preemptively suppressed Xiao Shi's head, but she didn't expect Xiao Shi to say that she would ask Mama Xi for advice. She knew that the retiring grandmother in the palace could not be invited if she said that she could be invited, only the princes and ministers could be invited, and the people who came only taught the daughters of their own families, and the Xiao family was ready to let Huaxi return to the sect.

The matter of the incense party is already a loss, so it seems that he is a villain.

The corners of Zhao's lips were a little stiff, "This is something that other people can't ask for." The old lady really loves Huaxi. ”

Huaxi couldn't hear the wit in the words of the two sisters-in-law, so she pretended to be moved, and said with tears in the corners of her eyes: "The old lady loves Huaxi, and Huaxi remembers it in her heart." When my mother was alive, she always said that she couldn't accompany you for a few more years, and Huaxi didn't want to do anything now, so she wanted to guard you well and be filial to you, which was considered to be filial piety for her mother and fulfilled her wish. ”

Xiao Shi looked at Huaxi's face that was a little similar to Mu Xiangwan, thinking of his daughter who had been separated for more than ten years, his heart ached, he hugged Huaxi, and choked up: "Good boy." It's rare that you have this kind of heart, stay with your grandmother for a few years, and your grandmother will not treat you badly. ”

Half of this was said by feelings, and the other half was said to Zhao.

Zhao Shi was embarrassed on the side, and pulled the corners of his lips to echo two auspicious words, but the tone was sour, and it didn't sound right.

Xiao Shi didn't know her anymore, so he asked Huaxi a few warm words, and then turned the topic to Princess Luoxi.

"It's not a few days before Qixi Festival, and it just so happens that the sixth day of the Lunar New Year is Princess Luoxi's birthday."

Zhao hurriedly accosted: "The old lady didn't mention it, I forgot." The old man confessed that he had asked someone to find Mr. Xi. Although the prince is not in the capital now, the princess will definitely come back on her birthday. At that time, please ask the uncle to go to Mr. Xi's house with him a few days in advance, and then ask Mr. Xi to go to the palace with him to give birthday gifts. ”

Well, I won't say it, you won't say it. First, worry about your precious granddaughter, and pretend to hide this matter, for fear that your own family will force people, so that you can put forward conditions in exchange. You've done all the good things! It's not that the Hou Mansion is in trouble now, where is your turn to take Qiao here.

The Xiao family didn't look down on this cousin of the mother's family, which would be even more annoyed by how his eldest brother chose such a daughter-in-law in the first place. But it's still important to get down to business, and it's not good to have a fire attack on the spot, so nod your head.

Zhao knew that the old lady was annoyed with her, so she didn't dare to stay longer, so she went back and asked the family to discuss with the uncle and the old lady, and got up to say goodbye.

After sending the Zhao family away, the old lady left Huaxi to speak.

"You know about Xiao Wu's affairs." The old lady no longer had the kindness she had just now, and her expression was very serious.

There was such a fuss in his yard, and someone must have known about it with the old lady earlier.

Huaxi nodded, but didn't say much, waiting for the old lady to speak.

"You grew up in the mountains, and you didn't know all these twists and turns. I think you're a clever man, and you'll be more mindful of everything in the future. It's not good for you to laugh. ”

"Huaxi can save it."

Seeing her respectfully, the old lady bowed her head and said, "Huaxi, you can make incense, I think about adding a few incense products to this year's birthday gift, how about leaving this matter to you?" ”

Huaxi promised, "The old lady ordered, and Huaxi should obey." However, there are big rules in the palace, and Huaxi doesn't know the princess's preferences and avoidance, for fear that something will go wrong, so do you ask the eldest grandmother to send a familiar person to tell Huaxi about it? ”

Xiao Shi looked at Huaxi with satisfaction, "What you think about is that you don't need to find a grandmother for this matter." I will ask Mother Wang to remind you, if you need anything, just tell Mother Wang directly. ”

The two of them gossiped a few more words, and the old lady sent Huaxi back.
