Chapter 032: Qi's Marriage Proposal
At this time, Hongyu and Ziyan exchanged glances, and then flipped the entire embroidery over.
Just look at the other side of this embroidery is a picture of a sea of clouds and pines, this is actually a double-sided embroidery!
Double-sided embroidery is the first two lines of popular in Jiangnan, but the embroidery girl who has mastered this skill can be counted with one hand, but I didn't expect that this Miss Xiao Er, who lives in the back house, would be, and embroidered so beautifully and expressively. It's just embroidery together, but it's like a landscape painting.
Everyone gathered in front of the embroidery and marveled.
The old lady looked at it, and her face was full of smiles, "Good! Good! Wei'er really has a heart! How much time do you have to spend on such a delicate embroidery job! Good! Good! ”
Xiao Xiwei saw that the old lady was really happy, smiled and said, "Grandmother likes it." ”
Li saw that the bloodstone he had spent so much money to find did not get the slightest praise from the old lady, but Xiao Xiwei, the girl, casually embroidered a picture and asked the old lady to praise her again and again in front of the ladies, and she vomited so much that she almost vomited blood.
Xiao Xile saw that everyone was holding Xiao Xi's slight praise, and she felt very uncomfortable, and happened to catch a glimpse of Xiao Xichun standing cowardly next to her, she smiled coldly and raised her voice, "Sister's birthday gift is really unique, fourth sister, your birthday gift?" ”
With Xiao Xile's words, everyone's eyes turned from Xiao Xiwei's embroidery to Xiao Xichun on the side.
Xiao Xichun's face flushed slightly, and he hurriedly lowered his head and whispered, "I, my birthday gift has been ...... I have already dedicated it to my grandmother. ”
"Oh? Why is the fourth sister afraid that your birthday gift will be seen? Xiao Xile stared at Xiao Xichun sarcastically.
She expected that this wild girl who was driven to Zhuangzi by her father since she was a child would definitely not be able to get any decent birthday gifts! The face she lost on Xiao Xiwei must be regained in this wild girl!
"Second sister, what are you doing? The birthday gift is just a heart, the fourth sister just returned home, I don't know my grandmother's preferences, so I sent the birthday gift to my grandmother first. Why, isn't that inappropriate? Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and looked at Xiao Xi with a smile.
"Wei'er is right, is it a birthday gift? The most important thing is the mind, and the mind is better than anything else. Xiao Min also interjected with a smile.
"That's it! Isn't there a shame on you? Seeing that Xiao Xile didn't know how to restrain at all, the old lady immediately became angry.
Xiao Xile changed suddenly. She didn't expect the old lady to reprimand her in front of so many ladies and ladies, and her face was suddenly full of blood, and her eyes were full of tears and looked at Li aggrievedly.
Li felt a pang of pain in his heart, and was about to open his mouth to relieve Xiao Xile, but a small guy hurriedly ran in.
"Master, four...... The Fourth and Seventh Princes arrived. ”
As soon as the little servant's voice fell, the house was in chaos, and everyone looked out of the door and forgot about it.
Xiao Xi's pupils tightened.
How did the two of them get here together?
Xiao Yan was first surprised, then hurriedly turned around and walked towards the door, and just after walking a few steps, he saw the fourth prince Chu Yanzhi and the seventh prince Chu Xizhi coming hand in hand.
Chu Yanzhi and Chu Xizhi are well-known beautiful men in the royal family, one is heroic, the other is evil, standing together is indescribably pleasing to the eye, and the young ladies who have not left the pavilion at the banquet are red-faced, and they all hang their heads shyly.
Xiao Xi subconsciously turned her face to look at Xiao Xile, but looking at the corner of her eyes, she couldn't help but feel that she secretly swept towards Chu Yanzhi.
It seems that she is really single-minded towards Chu Yanzhi!
"The minister has seen the four highnesses and the seven highnesses." Xiao Yan hurriedly saluted the two.
"I heard that the old lady is celebrating her birthday today, so I came to congratulate the old lady." Chu Yan's words smiled Yan Yan. After speaking, he asked the attendant to send a congratulatory gift.
Chu Xizhi curled his lips slightly, "This king heard that today's old lady's birthday was mentioned, so let's join in the fun." With that, his narrow eyes swept over Xiao Xiwei carelessly. As far as the eye could see, I saw that her smooth forehead had been covered by heavy bangs, and her eyebrows were unconsciously picked.
Xiao Yan naturally also noticed Chu Xizhi's gaze, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart.
It seems that the saint has already mentioned the matter of marriage to the Seventh Prince, otherwise how could the good Seventh Prince come to the Houfu and keep staring at Xiwei.
"Father, why don't you invite the two highnesses to the front hall!" Xiao Xiyang obviously also noticed Chu Xizhi's gaze, and hurriedly stepped forward.
The flower hall is full of women, and it is indeed a little inappropriate.
Xiao Yan nodded, "Two Highnesses, please move to the front hall." ”
Chu Xizhi glanced at Xiao Xiyang, and saw that Xiao Xiyang's eyes facing him were not afraid of anything, but with a hint of coercion, and couldn't help but smile, "Master Xiao, lead the way!" ”
Xiao Xiyang was stunned for a moment, then turned sideways and stepped aside, "Your Highness, please." ”
Chu Xi smiled, raised his legs and strode towards the front hall.
As soon as the male guests left, the ladies of the families laughed and laughed, and chatted and talked about the young lady in the waiting house.
Qi Shi smiled and said, "No, in the blink of an eye, Sister Le Er is also a talent, I don't know which family's son will be blessed in the future and can marry my family Le'er back." ”
As soon as Xiao Xile heard Qi's words, he immediately blushed, "Auntie......"
Li also smiled, "Look at my sister-in-law's words, Le'er is still young, I still want to keep her for a few more years, but Wei'er will soon be in time, I don't know which family's son is willing to come to ask for marriage?" ”
Hearing this, an imperceptible sneer crept up on Xiao Xi's slightly lips.
It seems that the sisters-in-law of Li and Qi haven't given up on her yet!
Sure enough, Qi smiled and patted Li's hand and said, "Since you said this, then I will be cheeky to ask you for this marriage!" Wei'er is the same age as my family, so why don't we have a kiss between the two families. Auntie, what do you think? ”
Xiao Xi raised her eyebrows slightly, she didn't expect the Qi family to say this so much.
The old lady's face sank on the spot, "Xue'e, you're drunk!" ”
Qi Shi got up with a wry smile, lowered his head and blessed the old lady and said, "Auntie, Po'er also grew up with you, please fulfill the two of them." ”
What a fulfillment!
On the surface, it seems that the Qi family is asking for his son to marry the second miss of the Hou Mansion, but this sentence is fulfilled, and others still think that the second miss Xiao has something to do with the son of the Li Mansion.
The old lady didn't expect that the Qi family not only did not retreat, but climbed up a bar cheekily, and his face became more and more gloomy, "What do you mean by this!" ”
Qi Shi was startled, hurriedly knelt on the ground, and said with an embarrassed face, "Auntie, this is ...... What do I say about that? ”
The more she said this, the more suspicious everyone became, and all kinds of scrutinizing eyes kept sweeping around Xiao Xiwei and Qi's bodies.
Could it be that this Miss Xiao Er is still serious about having a son with the Li Mansion, what is wrong?
"Wei'er." Xiao Min was also a little unable to sit still at this time, and shouted Xiao Xiwei with side eyes and a low voice.
Xiao Xiwei stood up, stared at Qi condescendingly, and said coldly, "In front of so many ladies, my aunt should make her words clear!" No matter how bad my Xiao Xiwei is, I am also the lady of Houfu, and I can't allow villains to chew the root of my tongue here! ”
Being scolded by a junior like this, and in front of so many people, it was the first time for the Qi family, and it was inevitable that his face was a little unsightly, "If I really say it, I'm afraid you will be embarrassed......"
Xiao Xi smiled a few times, she walked up to the old lady and knelt down, and said loudly, "Grandmother, although Wei'er is young, she also knows etiquette and shame!" My aunt's voice was clearly pouring a basin of dirty water on Wei'er, and she asked her grandmother to call the shots for Wei'er! ”
The old lady already knew what happened at the last flower viewing banquet, and now seeing Wei'er's calm appearance, the old lady felt more and more that Qi's face was hateful!
She spoke in front of so many ladies to ruin Wei'er's reputation, she was forcing her to promise Wei'er to Li Po!
"Layue, you go and help the second lady up." The old lady spoke coldly, and her cold gaze swept towards the Qi family, "Our young lady in Houfu is not someone who can slander if he wants to!" ”
The fierceness in the old lady's words hit Qi Shi in the face like a slap.
"Auntie, I, how dare I." Qi's face changed, and he hurriedly turned his face to look at Xiao Xi in embarrassment and said, "Sister Wei, you ...... Do you really want me to say it? ”
Xiao Xi raised his eyebrows slightly, and said coldly, "If my aunt has anything to say, it is ambiguous, and others really think that I, Xiao Xiwei, have done something unseemly!" ”
Everyone saw that Xiao Xi's eyebrows were calm, and when they heard her words, they suddenly felt that Mrs. Li wanted to speak and stopped, and he looked at him left and right, maybe he deliberately pulled Miss Xiao Er into the water. Think about it, what kind of disciple is the Xiao family? What kind of disciple is the Li family? How could the dignified Miss Hou Fuyan fall in love with the young master of the Li family?
"Wei'er, you, how can you say that?" Qi Shi furrowed his brows, took a deep breath, and said, "If it weren't for you and Po'er, how could I have the cheekiness to offend the old lady and ask for this marriage?" “
As soon as Qi's words came out, everyone was shocked.
The ladies and ladies below talked about it.
"!" The old lady raised his hand and threw it, and a clear flower porcelain cup 'snapped' and smashed towards Qi's, and the crisp sound frightened Qi's face pale.
"Auntie, I'm ...... I'm telling the truth. Otherwise, even if I had a hundred guts, I wouldn't dare to open this mouth to my aunt! Qi Shi hurriedly said, and at the end, she turned her face to look at Xiao Xiwei again, "Wei'er, isn't it that you look at my disciple who is low, so ...... So I dislike our family and regret it? ”
Xiao Xi sneered slightly, "It's just that my aunt splashed dirty water on me, why did she even splash my grandmother and father together?" Although my mother died early, my grandmother and father also taught me self-esteem and self-love from an early age. Is my aunt saying that my grandmother and father did not teach well? ”
Xiao Xi's micro-words were beady, and Qi's face turned pale.
She didn't expect Xiao Xiwei to offend Lao Taijun and Xiao Yan at the same time by saying it casually, but now, she has no way out.
"Wei'er, I can't tell you if you are sharp-tongued, but I have evidence in my hand to prove that what I said is true!" Qi gritted his teeth and said fiercely.
