Xu Shi smiled slightly, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, looking very leisurely: "Sister Yi loves to be lively, I'm afraid I can't talk to you quietly, and I wonder that she has never mentioned it to me." ”

Is this blaming Chen Ying for refusing to be introduced?

This thought swirled around in her heart, and she threw it away.

What Xu thinks is none of her business.

"Since last year, the two of them have been talking to me that the eldest princess has always exceeded the system." Chen Ying continued the topic of Fang Cai, and hoped that Xu would not go off topic again.

"Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, which ancestral system has you exceeded?" Old Madam Xu finally got to the point.

Chen Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately replied: "Back to my grandmother's words, Her Royal Highness the eldest princess and the county lord of Xiangshan have exceeded the system of clothing. According to Miss Wang, there were several times when the eldest princess wore a dragon on her dress, and the lord of Xiangshan County often wore double pheasant and phoenix embroidered shoes. ”

Xu and Old Madam Xu changed their faces at the same time.

In the whole world, only the emperor and queen can wear dragon robes. And below the county lord, it is only enough to sew a double pheasant on the dress, but the phoenix cannot be used. This is a rule set by our ancestors, and no one can violate it.

The eldest princess is not an ordinary overstep, if she changes to a more powerful emperor, her crime is enough to kill her head.

"We listened to those subordinates at the banquet several times, saying that the Queen Mother likes to give clothes to the eldest princess and the lord of Xiangshan County the most, and those subordinates don't understand, and the two girls of the Wang family are not confused." Chen Ying continued.

Xu Shi instantly knew what it meant, but he still didn't believe it, and rubbed the teacup in his hand with a deep groan: "This matter can be big or small, Wang family...... Really hands-on? ”

"The Wang family and the eldest princess are a bit of a holiday, they will definitely do it." Chen Ying threw out a big news.

Xu Shi was really shocked by this, put down the teacup, and asked in a deep voice: "Why do they have a holiday again?" Where does this start? ”

"I'm afraid this has something to do with Old Lady Wang." Old Madam Xu said.

"Grandmother Shengming." Chen Ying twisted the corners of her mouth.

Although Mrs. Xu rarely goes out, the news channels are obviously not comparable to Xu's. As long as she knows what the old man knows.

"It's not early, I'm very tired today, so I won't leave you to eat." Mrs. Xu abruptly picked up the tea cup on the side, not only did she not want to continue the topic, but also simply gave an eviction order.

Xu Shi was stunned for a moment, hurriedly put down the tea, got up and said respectfully: "It was we who disturbed the old lady's tranquility." ”

"It doesn't matter." Mrs. Xu said, her attitude was always kind, and she called people again: "Liu Baoshan's family, send a gift to the eldest lady for me." ”

Liu Baoshan's family hadn't gone far, so when he heard the sound, he picked up the curtain and walked in, bowed down and said with a smile: "The slave is about to ask the old lady to show me, where should the dinner be?" ”

"It's in this room." Old Madam Xu didn't seem to be interested, so she only said this, then put the teacup on the table, and closed her eyes.

Liu Baoshan's family didn't dare to say more, turned around and raised the door curtain higher, and Xu also relaxed his steps and quietly retreated with Chen Ying.

It wasn't until he walked out of the corridor that Liu Baoshan's family asked softly: "The eldest lady is tired of thinking, do you want the slave to ask someone to carry a bag over?" ”

Xu Shi hurriedly said: "It doesn't have to be like this. But after talking to the old lady for a while, where did you get tired? Said and laughed: "After sitting in the car for half a day today, I want to take a walk." ”

Liu Baoshan's family nodded, and sent them out with a smile.

The twilight was getting thicker, and the western sky was still a bright crimson. Chen Ying looked up, but saw that the slanting sun was faint, and it was dyed in front of the eaves corner corridor, as if a large piece of gold dust had been poured from the sky, and as far as the eye could see, it was warm yellow.

A few young girls came over from that end with lanterns, and when they saw Xu's busy saluting, they took a fire primer made of a penny and lit a few lanterns near the door of Mingyuan Hall.

Xu and Chen Ying resigned from Liu Baoshan's house, stepped out of the threshold, and looked up to see Chen Lu and Chen Xiang They did not leave, but took the maid to stand under the porch outside the courtyard gate to talk, and when they saw Xu coming out, they all greeted him.

"Mother, what did grandmother say? But what does it matter? Chen Yi opened his mouth one by one, with a slight melancholy on his beautiful face, and he became more and more indescribably beautiful.

Xu looked at his daughter with both pride and relief in his eyes.

Her daughter doesn't need to be shrewd and intelligent, she always has her mother's family to support her, and she doesn't have to be as strong as Chen Ying.

Xu's heart became softer and softer, he reached out and touched Chen Lu's hair, and said softly: "The matter is over." ”

When Chen Yi heard this, he immediately put down most of his heart, smiled at Xu's face, hugged her arm affectionately and shook it, looked at Chen Ying again, and asked with concern, "Is the third sister okay?" ”

"I'm fine, thank you big sister for asking." Chen Ying replied decently, and then shut up.

Chen Yi thought that she would say something somewhat, but she didn't expect that she only said this, and she couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and was about to ask again, but Xu Shi had already opened her mouth: "That's it, let's go back, it's not too early, don't worry your mother." He looked back at Chen Ying and smiled, and said lovingly: "Good boy, go back quickly, your mother must be in a hurry." ”

Chen Ying complied, and Xu took Chen Yi out of the verandah and headed for the Moon Cave Gate at the east end.

The courtyards of the large house and the four rooms are all in the southeast corner of the mansion, but Chen Yi and Chen Xiang sisters are on the same road, and the courtyards of the two rooms are in the southwest corner. This was set by Mrs. Xu herself, in order to naturally give birth to less right and wrong, Chen Ying felt that this arrangement was very reasonable.

Chen Ying's eldest maid Xunzhen has also been waiting outside the door, and at this time, she came over quietly, handed Chen Ying a goose yellow cloud crane pattern makeup and gauze thin cloak on her arm, and said softly: "Girl, put it on, it's early and late, it's still cold." ”

Chen Ying took the cloak and draped it, and at a glance, he saw that Chen Xiang and Chen Han next to him were also wearing thin cloaks. This is the newly cut spring shirt in the house this year, and the girls have one in their hands, all of which are made of makeup and yarn, but the color is different.

The three sisters silently stepped on the verandah leading to the Xishou Vase Gate, and after walking a few steps, the fourth girl, Chen Han, was the first to hold back, and asked curiously: "Third sister, you have made such a big mistake, is grandmother going to punish you?" Is it a punishment for kneeling or copying scriptures? As he spoke, he shook his mouth and smiled: "The last time my grandmother punished people was the year before last, I remember that it was the eldest sister who was punished that time, and the eldest aunt cried for half an hour." ”

She seemed to remember something happy and smiled innocently.

"Fourth sister, why are you talking like that?" Chen Xiang tugged at her sleeves, and a flush flew on her face, as if she was a little embarrassed.

They are sisters of the same mother, both from the Shen family, but Chen Xiang has a dull temperament, which is not very liked by the Shen family, but Chen Han is carved out of the same mold as the Shen family, and the Shen family loves her a little.
