Chapter 12: Circles
Mama Hu handed over the steps, the Xia family is naturally not good at punishing her daughter in someone else's house, although it is her own mother's family, but today's day is a little special, if you have a lot of mouths to spread the matter, it will be no good for the Xia family and Yu Wu'an Houfu. After thinking about this, she thought about how to understand this matter, but behind her, Chu Peiyi took two steps forward and spoke!
"Big sister, you're so stupid! Why are you making my mother angry again! β
The milky sound came into her ears, and Chu Peijin turned her head to see her pink-carved ninth sister Chu Peiyi blinking at her with a pair of big black eyes.
As the eldest lady of Wu'an Houfu, the Xia family has three daughters, Chu Peijin, Chu Peixuan, and Chu Peiyi, the little radish head in front of her, who is not yet seven years old. In memory, except for Chu Peijin, the Xia family was extremely fond of the other two daughters.
Today's Chu Peiyi is wearing a red pleated skirt embroidered with lotus flowers, and her little face like snow jade is becoming more and more pretty and cute, and Chu Peijin can't help but feel a trace of pity in her heart.
Chu Peixuan next to her smiled when she heard the words, and said, "Big sister, the ninth sister is small, and she is unscrupulous, don't worry about her!" β
Chu Peiqiong also took a handkerchief to cover her lips and smiled lowly, this Chu girl of theirs is really stupid. Thinking of some of her stupid things before, Chu Peiqiong couldn't help but want to laugh a few words, but her eyes couldn't help but sneak at Xia Shi first, seeing that her face was always calm, she didn't dare to say anything after thinking about it.
Chu Peijin stretched out her hand and gently stroked the little girl on Chu Peiyi's head, and said lightly: "She is my sister-in-law, why should I worry about her?" β
Chu Peixuan was choked for a moment, and when she saw Chu Peiyi's happy face, she couldn't help glaring at her, and turned her head a little angrily. This dead girl, don't you know who to stand by her? It's stupid!
Hearing Chu Peijin's words, and seeing the warmth on her face when facing Chu Peiyi, Xia's eyes trembled slightly, but the anger in her heart slowly dissipated unconsciously.
Mama Hu secretly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw this! Anyway, they are all the daughters of their own mothers, and if they are fighting between their sisters, wouldn't they let others see the joke in vain!
By the time Xia took his daughters to the East Garden Flower Hall, it was already very lively. Seeing Xia and the others coming, He Shi, the eldest lady of Xia Mansion, hurriedly smiled and beckoned them to sit in the inner hall.
After meeting the old lady of the Xia family and a few familiar guests, a few little girls were arranged to go to the hugging house outside, where the second girls of the Xia Mansion, Xia Yixue and Xia Qingluan, were taking their sisters to accompany a few official girls to drink tea and chat.
"Cousin Jin, Cousin Xuan, you can be regarded as here! Come on, come and sit here! β
Xia Qingluan enthusiastically got up to greet them, and personally reached out to take Chu Peiyi's hand to the table, and took a piece of peach blossom cake and handed it to her.
"Thank you, Fourth Cousin."
Chu Peiyi is young, as long as there is food, she will show a cute smile, which makes people can't help but be happy.
The little maid who was waiting took a clean handkerchief in an orderly manner to help Chu Peiyi cushion her, and then carried her to the chair next to the table and sat down.
"Second Miss Chu, you can be regarded as here, you already live in Xia Mansion, and let me and Jinxiu wait here, and I will punish you with three cups later!"
A smiling female voice like a warbler came from everyone present, and Chu Peijin turned her attention to the girls inside.
There were already five women sitting there, two of them were Xia Yixue's sister-in-law, she had some impressions, and the other three girls had no impression in her memory. And the one who spoke was wearing a peach-colored Ruyi pleated skirt, embroidered with a few elegant magnolia flowers around it, and the goose egg face lined like jade became more and more bright and moving.
"If I had known that Sister Qin would have come so early today, I would have been called from the beginning." Chu Peixuan said with a smile on her eyebrows, walked up to the woman, took her hand, and said coquettishly: "Good sister, you don't care about the villain, spare me!" β
Xia Qingluan saw Chu Peijin staring at those people, and remembered that the cousin Jin in front of her had almost never attended any parties, and she was afraid that she didn't know these people at all. So he walked closer to Chu Peijin before he whispered: "Talking to Cousin Xuan is Qin Yalan, the eldest girl of the Qin family, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, sitting on the left of Miss Qin, the eldest daughter of Dingyuanhou, Hu Miaoyan, and the second cousin of the Zhu family, Zhu Jinhua on the right. β
Chu Peijin smiled and nodded, which can be regarded as inheriting Xia Qingluan's love.
A group of girls, who are of the same age except for Chu Peiyi, are said to be very easy to get along with.
Chu Peijin remembered that when she was thirteen or fourteen years old in her previous life, a female classmate in a class, or even a grade, as long as she was not particularly difficult to get along with, she would generally become friends easily. Everyone plays together, studies together, and can make an appointment to go crazy together after school. So, she didn't expect that she would one day become the unpopular one.
At the beginning, Chu Peijin really planned to get along with this little girl, she was not willing to lock herself up in such a square inch like the previous lord to live, so she smiled kindly at the curious eyes that every little girl threw at her.
However, what she didn't expect was that her friendliness was not exchanged for friendship, but disdain and cold eyes.
Well? What's going on? The former lord doesn't seem to have done anything angry, right?
After all, Cuizhu often goes out of the house to buy things for Chu Peijin, and seeing that the master of his family is not popular, he is more or less worried in his heart.
"Girl, why don't you go with the slave to walk around the garden?"
Chu Peijin was a little surprised: "Why do you want to go out?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Don't you want to say it directly, the girl is not treated by others!
"By the way, what kind of eyes do they have?"
Cuizhu was entangled for a long time, then turned his head to look at Cuizhi, hesitated and lowered his head, and whispered: "Girl, don't worry too much, they ...... They're just jealous of you. β
"Huh?"
She is a little-known little woman who stays at home, why is she jealous?
"Let's talk about it, what is more brilliant about your girl and me, and it actually makes those little beauties jealous!" Chu Peijin took a piece of plum blossom cake and put it in her mouth, and on the other hand, she looked at Cuizhu with a gossipy face, and looked embarrassed at Cuizhu.
By the way, doesn't the girl feel a little embarrassed at this time? Did you misunderstand it again?
"That...... If the slave and maid guess correctly, it should be the girl, your relationship with His Royal Highness King Kang has aroused jealousy. β
Chu Peijin was a little surprised.
I couldn't help but think of His Royal Highness King Kang I saw a few days ago. Well, the looks are indeed good, and the family background ...... He is still a prince, and since he is a member of the royal family, he must not be bad for money!
Ah! The fiancΓ© is rich and handsome, this reason is really worthy of jealousy!
