Thinking so in her heart, she didn't show a little disappointment on the surface, and affectionately held the arm of Mrs. Xuanping Hou, and said with a smile: "Whether it works out or not, I thank my aunt first." ”

At this time, everyone had entered the backyard, and the old lady Xuanping asked the old lady to carry Cen Ziman back to her yard, and then instructed her subordinates to wait for Zhu Xinlan to go to another guest room, and turned her head to talk to Xia Jin, but Cen Ziman said: "Grandmother, let Miss Xia go with me." ”

Xuanping Houye himself is from a poor family, and the old lady Xuanping Hou has no opinion, so she is happy that her granddaughter is close to Xia Jin, so she nodded and said, "Okay." ”

Cen Ziman turned his head and smiled at Xia Jin: "Let's go." She turned around and went to the yard where she lived.

When she entered the house where she lived, Cen Ziman instructed her subordinates to bring all the clothes, and said to Xia Jin: "Look at what you like, pick and change, you're welcome." ”

"yes, okay." Xia Jin nodded in response.

Cen Ziman raised his eyebrows slightly, and said with a smile: "You are not the same as those twisting and pinching ladies." ”

Xia Jin also raised his eyebrows: "It's different." I'm the daughter of a small family, so naturally I don't have so many rules. ”

Cen Ziman shook his head: "I have also seen the daughters of small families, but they are not as generous as you." ”

Xia Jin looked left and right: "Are you sure we want to chat here in wet clothes?" ”

Cen Ziman laughed "haha" and waved his hand: "You change your clothes, I'll go over there to change." So saying, he entered the next room.

Xia Jin has grown a lot taller in the past two months, but he is still completely incomparable with Cen Ziman's tall figure. She's worried that her clothes won't fit. But I don't want the clothes taken out by my mother-in-law to be just the right size for her.

Xia Jin and the other mother-in-law finished gesturing with the clothes on her, pointed to a dress and a skirt and said, "This is fine." ”

The mother-in-law looked at her in surprise. smiled: "Miss Xia doesn't need to be polite. These are the clothes that my girl made last year, and she was originally going to wear them when she came back to worship her ancestors during the Qingming Festival, but she didn't put them on yet, so they were short. It's useless to stay here, the girl can just pick and choose. ”

As he spoke, he picked up a lotus-blue embroidered robe with gold thread and put it in front of Xia Jin for comparison. said: "This one looks white and wears it just right." ”

Xia Jin shook his head. He insisted: "Just wear that one." ”

The one Xia Jin picked was a light gardenia-colored satin blouse with a skirt of the same color. Although the material is good, there is no embroidery and no special decoration. It was the most inconspicuous and plain set of clothes in the pile.

The mother-in-law glanced at Xia Jin deeply, and without further persuasion, she took a set of lotus blue underwear, put it next to Xia Jin along with the set of clothes, and raised her hand to wait for Xia Jin to change clothes.

Xia Jin hurriedly said: "I'll come by myself." As he spoke, he looked at the woman with his eyes, "Please also ask Mama to avoid it." ”

That woman has served the nobles in the palace, but she is well-informed and knows all kinds of temperamental people in this world. Hearing Xia Jin's words, there was nothing. said yes, and withdrew, and closed the door with his hand.

Xia Jin changed his clothes. He twisted his almost half-dried hair again, tied a simple ponytail, and opened the door.

"Hey, how do you wear this?" Standing at the door turned out to be Cen Ziman. She was still dressed in red, only in a different style, more simple and crisp than the one she had just wore.

Xia Jin has a good impression of Cen Ziman. There is no distinction between dignity and inferiority in her bones, and she speaks as she pleases: "I finally know why you made clothes for your ancestors." It turns out that your clothes are all red, and they are not suitable for wearing them when worshipping your ancestors. ”

"Haha, you can see this?" Cen Ziman laughed, pointed to the rest of the clothes and said, "Since you are wearing these clothes properly, it is better to give them to you." It's a waste to leave it in vain anyway. ”

"No, not really." Xia Jin waved his hand and was resolute.

Cen Ziman glanced at Xia Jin steadily, and smiled casually: "Okay, since you say don't want it, then don't do it." ”

Xia Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although she also likes beautiful clothes, she has to buy them with her own money. Now taking Cen Ziman's clothes, not only is she jealous of those women's ladies, but she also has a reputation for being greedy and cheap, why should she bother?

The mother-in-law and Cen Ziman also understood this truth when they thought about it, and their impression of Xia Jin became better and better. Most of the girls from small portals are shallow-eyed, and it is difficult to be like Xia Jin, who is not greedy for cheap and does not love vanity.

"Let's go, let's get out." Cen Ziman stepped forward and grabbed Xia Jin's arm, and asked her as he walked out, "What do you usually do?" I don't have any friends in Linjiang City, so we usually make an appointment to play together. ”

This made Xia Jin embarrassed.

She naturally hopes to become friends with Cen Ziman. is not only to make friends with Miss Xuanping Houfu, but more importantly, Cen Ziman is hearty and temperamental, and he is very temperamental to her.

But she is now a two-faced person, and she may have to dress up as a man to run outside, and it is Xia Qi who stays at home. If Cen Ziman came to the house to find her on a whim, wouldn't her trick with Xia Qi be a goof?

But Cen Ziman said this, she couldn't refuse.

She smiled: "I usually don't do anything, mainly to help my father concoct medicinal materials." If you want to go out and play, send someone to call me in advance. Otherwise, I'll have to wait until I'm done to come out. ”

Cen Ziman looked at her in surprise: "You still have to help the family?" Your family, there is no ......"

Speaking of this, she quickly covered her mouth with her hand and swallowed the rest of the words back.

Immediately, she smiled at Xia Jin embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say that, and I didn't mean to look down on you." My grandmother said I was a big smug and didn't use my head to speak. ”

Xia Jin laughed: "What is this? If you don't know, just ask. I don't feel like you're looking down on me when you ask that. ”

"yes, yes?" These words made Cen Ziman very happy, "That's what I thought." But my grandmother and my mother always said that sometimes people think too much, and I should think about how the other person feels before I say a word. I don't even dare to say anything now. ”

Xia Jin seriously explained the previous question: "Concocting medicinal materials is not something that can be done by just calling a subordinate and teaching it. There's a trick to it. Moreover, this technique is sometimes a secret skill, and not everyone can pass it on. ”

"I see." Cen Ziman was obviously not interested in this topic, nodded randomly, and then pulled the conversation elsewhere, "How do you know how to swim?" You seem to be a better swimmer than I am. Let me swim two people to the shore in the water, and I can't do it. ”

"When I was naughty, I made my dad take me to swim, and I would swim and swim." Xia Jin said.

This is not nonsense. Linjiang City is located on the southern riverside, and many people like to go swimming in summer. When Xia Jin, the original owner of this body, was young, he swam with Xia Zhengqian in the small pond of Xia Mansion a few times, and he knew some water.

"You're so nice here." Cen Ziman said enviously, "My father and my mother don't allow me to swim." I don't know how many times I've been beaten by my mother to learn how to swim......"

The two chatted, and before they knew it, they went out of the yard and met Zhu Xinlan and her mother coming out of another yard.

Zhu Xinlan was more sober than Mrs. Zhu, knowing that it was Xia Jin who went into the water to save her and Cen Ziman, so she bowed and solemnly thanked her: "Thank you Miss Cen and Miss Xia for saving me." If it weren't for the two of you, I—I'm afraid I'd be ......."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Her voice was slightly hoarser than before, apparently choking on her throat from spitting water.

"It's fine. What happened to you in my house, I should save you. But you should be like me, thank you Miss Xia well. Cen Ziman said.

She took off a string of red agate from her wrist, and shook it for a while, and there was a sound of water in the agate. She stuffed the red agate into Xia Jin's hand and said, "This is a string of water urchin agate given to my mother by the queen's mother, which is said to be a rare thing offered in the west." The grace of saving my life is beyond repayment, this bracelet is my most precious thing, I give it to you. ”

"Miss Cen, you really don't have to do this! This bracelet is so valuable, you better take it back quickly. "Xia Jin naturally doesn't.

Just kidding, the things given by the emperor are all registered and cannot be sold, but only kept at home, and they must always be worried about being stolen. What is she doing when she takes this trouble home?

"The bracelet is precious, but doesn't Miss Xia think that my little life is not worth such a bracelet?" Cen Ziman's face immediately sank, but his eyes looking at Xia Jin blinked desperately. It's really funny.

"Sister Yao, what's wrong?" The voice of the old lady Xuan Pinghou came from not far away. But it was their group that was informed by the next person and had come out of the hall.

Hearing his grandmother's voice, Cen Ziman turned around and ran over quickly, grabbed the arm of Mrs. Xuanping Hou and shook it, and said coquettishly: "Miss Xia saved my life, I wanted to give her the bracelet given by the queen mother, but she refused." ”

As she spoke, she raised the red agate in her hand and shook it.

"Hey, why does this agate make a water sound? Tell us, old sister. "Lin Yun's grandmother, Mrs. Lin, is also an old man, and she is an old acquaintance with Mrs. Xuanpinghou, and the two are sisters. At this time, seeing that everyone was confused, it was obvious that they didn't know the value of this string of agate, so they asked.

Mrs. Xuanping Hou smiled slightly: "This string of agate is different from ordinary agate, it is called water urchin agate, it is offered by Tianzhu, it is said that it is extremely rare in them, and it can only be obtained in dozens or hundreds of years." There is water in it, so if you shake it, you can hear the sound of water inside. ”

Hearing this, everyone gasped.

Foreign tribute, and people can only get such a string for dozens or hundreds of years, so the tribute to the emperor is only two or three strings, right? Xuanping Houfu can get this string, it really has a deep sacred heart! is such a valuable thing, Cen Ziman gave it to this girl from the small portal casually, this is really ...... Gee!

Everyone looked at Xia Jin with envy and jealousy in their eyes. (To be continued)
