On this day, Xiao Xiwei went to Jingyuan to greet the old lady as usual, and before she entered the door, she heard a cool laugh.

"Old lady, this is laughing at me here, I'm old and I love to be lively!"

When she entered, she saw at a glance the woman sitting on the pineapple carved chair, about forty or so, wearing a purple blouse embroidered with a hundred butterfly patterns, with an apricot-yellow silk gauze skirt underneath, a hanging cloud bun on her head, a ringing bell, a pair of curved eyes full of smiles, and beside her stood a girl who was seven or eight points similar to her appearance. As soon as she entered, the eyes of the room looked at her, including the Li family, who was full of anxiety because of Xiao Xile's punishment in the past two days.

"Wei'er is here!" Li smiled and beckoned to Xiao Xi.

Xiao Xi smiled, "Wei'er asks for peace for grandmother, and says goodbye to mother." ”

"Look at our Wei'er, it's only been a few days, the longer and more beautiful, like a fairy, the old lady is really blessed!" The woman walked over with a smile and took Xiao Xiwei's hand and said kindly.

"Look at what my sister-in-law said...... Li smiled and moved his gaze to Xiao Xiwei, "Wei'er, I haven't seen your aunt yet." ”

Xiao Xi smiled faintly and blessed the woman, "Uncle is about to stop making fun of Wei'er." Since my aunt went to Suyang with my uncle, my mother has always remembered that it would be good for you and your uncle to come back now. “

As soon as Xiao Xiwei's words fell, he saw the old lady leaning on the Luohan couch and glanced at Li lightly.

Li's brother Li Qingshu has also found a small position in the past few years under the care of Zhongyong Houfu, and last month he was appointed by the emperor to patrol Suyang to inspect the drought. Since he was ordered to travel, it was impossible to come back so quickly, so it is conceivable that Qi suddenly returned to Beijing and visited Zhongyong Houfu.

Li Shi was glanced at by the old lady, a trace of embarrassment flashed on his face, and he hurriedly turned his face and picked up the teacup and pretended to drink tea, but the corner of his eye glanced at Xiao Xi viciously.

Qi didn't expect Xiao Xiwei to make the old lady unhappy with his words, and a trace of surprise couldn't help flashing in his eyes, but he was quickly covered up by her. "What a good boy, how can your uncle come back easily after receiving the holy decree! I also came back because of your cousin Bai, the disaster in Suyang this time is not small, your uncle is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, I can't help, and the noise in the house is not conducive to Po Ge'er's study, I saw that there will be a scientific examination next year, I was afraid of delaying the child, so I led Bai Ge'er and Sister Lin back first. “

"Then my aunt will often bring Sister Lin to play in the future!" Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled happily.

"Mother, you always say that I am foolish and playful, now you look at Sister Wei like this, you are not allowed to talk about me again in the future!" The girl beside the Qi family pulled the handkerchief and looked at Xiao Xi and smiled slightly.

"You dare to compare with Sister Wei like a monkey, and you are not afraid of the old lady's jokes!" Qi Shi smiled and glanced at Li Lin.

Li Lin Sihao didn't care, and took Xiao Xiwei's arm with a smile, "Wei'er, my mother will hold a flower-viewing banquet in the house in a few days, and you must come then!" ”

Xiao Xi smiled, turned his face and looked at the old lady with anticipation, "Then grandmother is also going?" ”

Since the Qi family opened her mouth, the old lady naturally couldn't refute her face, she was originally a little unhappy in her heart, but when she saw Xiwei looking at her expectantly, her face eased a little, "Grandmother won't go with you to join in this fun when she is old." ”

As soon as Li heard this, he knew that the old lady was relieved. Since Xiwei is going, then Qi's niece Xile will naturally follow. Thinking of this, she breathed a sigh of relief. You must know that the old lady has always been resolute, let alone Xiao Yan in the decision she made, this is the old lady will not refute it easily. She said that she wanted to lock up Xile for a month, then she would be locked up for a month, Xile had secretly cried in front of her countless times, denying that she would not think of this method, and hurriedly wrote a letter to urge her sister-in-law back.

"Grandmother, go, if you don't go, it won't be lively!" Xiao Xi shook the old lady's arm affectionately and said.

Looking at this granddaughter, who has never been close to her, is smiling with her eyebrows crooked and coquettish with her eyes at the moment, she even looks a little like herself when she was young, and she shows a little smile on her face, "Okay, how can you still look like a child when you are about to reach the end of your life, how can there be a little bit of the appearance of the concubine of the house, it doesn't make people see the joke." ”

"With my grandmother here, who would dare to laugh at me!" Xiao Xiwei simply held the old lady's entire arm and buried her face.

The old lady looked at her as a little daughter, and finally couldn't help laughing, reached out and nodded her forehead, "You, ......" smiled, turned her face to Mama Liu and said, "Go and bring my pair of gold and silk inlaid ruby double luans and cuibu shakes." ”

"Yes." Mama Liu answered, smiled and entered the inner room.

The old lady patted Xiao Xiwei's hand and said with a smile, "The latter has to be dressed up, if you lose the face of our Houfu by then, grandmother won't spare you!" ”

Seeing that the old lady was waiting for the mansion one by one, and the words were all pointing out that Xile had lost the face of the waiting house, and she also gave Xiao Xiwei such a valuable step shake in front of her sister-in-law, Li's face was really a little unbearable.

"How can it, with her mother watching from the side, Wei'er doesn't dare to be naughty." Xiao Xiwei said as she turned her face and smiled sweetly at Li.

Seeing that the old lady looked at him, the Li family naturally didn't want to keep a straight face anymore, and hurriedly pulled out a smile, looked at the old lady flatteringly, and said, "Mother rest assured, the daughter-in-law will take a good look at Xiwei and Xile." ”

The old lady raised her hand and stroked her forehead and did not answer.

When Mama Liu saw the old lady's movements, she hurriedly helped the old lady and whispered, "It rained heavily last night, didn't the old lady sleep well......

Which one in this house is not a human spirit, as soon as the Qi family heard this, he immediately pulled Li Lin forward and blessed the old lady, "Old lady, I just came back, and there are still a lot of things to do in the house, so I won't bother the old lady." ”

The old lady smiled and agreed.

Seeing this, Li also hurriedly stood up, "That daughter-in-law is going to send her sister-in-law." ”

The old lady pursed her lips, and finally gave Li face and nodded lightly.

As soon as the Qi family returned home, he ordered someone to send a post for the flower viewing banquet, and Xiao Xile was finally released from the ancestral hall.

Early in the morning, Li ordered someone to prepare a carriage.

Xiao Xile affectionately held Li's arm and laughed on the side, seeing Xiao Xiwei come out and hurriedly let go of Li's hand and get into the same carriage with Xiao Xile.

"Sister." As soon as Xiao Xile entered the carriage, he shouted with a smile.

Xiao Xi smiled and nodded slightly.

After not seeing him for a few days, Xiao Xile seemed to have lost a lot of weight.

Xiao Xi also smiled, and his eyes subconsciously looked towards Xiao Xiwei's head.

I heard that in the days when she was punished into the ancestral hall, Xiao Xiwei went to Jingzhu Garden every morning to curry favor with the old lady, and also deceived the old lady from a pair of gold and silk inlaid ruby double luan.

Sure enough, the pair of gold silk inlaid rubies that she had asked the old lady for a long time was wearing on Xiao Xiwei's head at the moment, with her garnet red flower-sprinkled smoke skirt, which made her whole person bright and shining.

"Sister." Xiao Xile smiled and reached out to hold Xiao Xiwei's hand, and glanced straight at her head, "You look really good at this step." ”

Xiao Xi smiled slightly, and plucked one from his head, "This is given to me by my grandmother, I heard that this pair of step shakes was specially created for my grandmother by my grandfather, and the gems on them are carefully selected." Speaking of this, Xiao Xi paused slightly, and glanced at Xiao Xile, "Does my sister like this pair of steps!" ”

Hearing Xiao Xiwei say this, Xiao Xile's eyes lit up, and he subconsciously reached out to get the pair of step shakers, but he heard Xiao Xiwei's voice sound crisply again.

"It's a pity that my grandmother gave it to me, and if I give it to my sister, I'm afraid my grandmother will be unhappy." With that, he raised his hand and inserted the step into his sideburns.

"Sister......" Xiao Xile wrinkled his brows, his pretty face turned red, and he held his breath in his chest, unable to spit out and swallow, unspeakably aggrieved and uncomfortable.

In the past, as long as she saw something, as long as she was a little coquettish, no matter how precious Xiao Xiwei would always smile in front of her, and never lose her face, but today......

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his lips at her, and then turned around and lifted the corner of the curtain to look outside.

Her mother, Chen, was born in the Chen family, a wealthy merchant in Jiangnan, when she married into the Zhongyong Houfu, her uncle Chen Jinrong personally sent the dowry all the way from Jiangnan, and the dowry was unloaded from the ship and loaded with twelve carriages, silk and satin, jewelry and jade, calligraphy, painting and porcelain, everything. Although she was supported as a stepfamily after Chen's death, Chen's rich dowry has been kept by the old lady, and the loyal and brave Houfu is not deeper than other wealthy nobles in Beijing, and she has no maiden family to help, on the surface, but Houfu is so big that there are a lot of daily expenses, plus she has to pay money to pave the way for her brother in private, and there is really not much money to use in her hands. But Xiao Xi is slightly different, she has an uncle who is a wealthy businessman in the south of the Yangtze River, and every year on her birthday, she will order someone to send all kinds of new and exquisite jewelry and clothes, and she also bought a lot of shops in Beijing for her.

Her brother Xiao Xiyang was personally taught by her grandfather in Wucheng at the age of five, and he rarely came back several times a year. She grew up with Xiao Xile since she was a child, Xiao Xile has a sweet mouth and can pretend to be smart, and every time she sees her, she always asks for something from her. In the past, she really loved this sister, and she always wanted to leave her a good one, but she didn't expect to be ...... by her in the end

"Humph! Who is rare! Xiao Xile, who had never been faceless, turned his head away hatefully.

Xiao Xi pursed the corners of his mouth slightly, pretending not to hear anything.

The carriage stopped and stopped, and soon arrived at Qi Mansion.

Xiao Xiwei got up and was about to get out of the car, suddenly stretched out a hand and pushed her hard, and then saw Xiao Xile get out of the car with her mother-in-law's hand first.

"Miss, third miss, why is she like this!" Biyun stared at Xiao Xile's back and said indignantly.

"Forget it." Xiao Xi smiled faintly, and then got out of the car.

The Qi family had already received a message from his mother-in-law and ordered Li Lin to come out.

"Sister Lin, long time no see, I miss you." As soon as he saw Li Lin come out, Xiao Xile hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed her arm affectionately, with a smile on her delicate face.

Li Lin was stunned, and then said, "It's been a long time, Le'er, the more beautiful you get." ”

"Sister Lin, it's sunny outside, let's go in quickly." Xiao Xile said and pulled Li Lin to the house.

Li Lin originally wanted to say hello to Xiao Xiwei, but she was dragged by Xiao Xile like this, so she had to turn her face and pull out an apologetic smile at Xiao Xiwei.

Although she and Xiao Xile are cousins, Xiao Xile has always looked down on her because she is a young lady who is loyal and brave in the house, and today she is suddenly so close to herself, is it not that she has an awkward relationship with her own sister.

Xiao Xi hooked the corners of his mouth slightly, compared to Xiao Xile's methods in the future, it is really not enough to look at it now.
