Indeed, who can believe that she, an orphan girl who has been unfavored in the house since she was a child, can have such a big hand, I am afraid that this thing is either fake or not right?

Xie Sihua looked at the smug look in Xie Siqi's eyes and was silent.

Although Qin Ge sneaked into her courtyard two days ago to deliver this thing, saying that when Jiang Zhan asked her not to stay up all night to tattoo the embroidery, she insisted on returning it, but when she went out this morning, she still made preparations with both hands and let Lu Wu take Hou outside.

"By chance, it is useless for me to take it as a gift from others, so it is better to offer it to please the mistress." She understated.

The old lady smiled and said, "I like it, I like it very much." ”

Xie Siqi wanted to say something more, but Xue Shi stopped her, and signaled her to calm down with her eyes.

At this time, Xie Xuan sent someone to call them out to help, and the guests were almost there, so everyone saluted the old lady and said goodbye.

After quieting down again, the old lady looked at Xie Sihua and said, "Why don't you follow?" There must be a lot of young men and women of your age in this meeting today, what do you mean by accompanying my wife here? ”

When everyone dispersed, Xie Sihua also relaxed a little, stepped forward to hold the old lady's hand, and said, "Don't make a mess with the rash on my face, I can't help but scare people, thinking that I will be contagious, then it's not good." ”

"Okay, then you will accompany me to your courtyard to have a look? At this time, the white plums in your yard should also bloom. With that, the old lady got up.

There is no shortage of plum trees in this Shangshu Mansion, but there are a few white plums in Xie Sihua's yard, Xie Sihua lives in the yard where his mother lived after being taken back to the mansion by Xie Xuan, and those white plums were also planted by his mother herself.

Xie Sihua took the cloak and hand stove, tied it for his grandmother, and said: "It's been open for a few days, and grandmother likes to plant a few plants in the yard tomorrow, isn't it convenient." ”

While talking, the mother-in-law and grandson were ready, but Mama Chang came to congratulate the county lord of Qingping on his birthday.

The old lady answered and handed the hand stove back to Mama Chang, Xie Sihua knew that she couldn't go, so she untied her cloak again.

"You also stay here, see this county lord first, I'm afraid that the future will be your mother-in-law, and you also have a bottom in your heart." Sitting down on the soft collapse again, the old lady said softly.

"Okay." Xie Sihua obediently complied and stood beside his grandmother.

The lord of Qingping was dressed in a well-cut palace dress, with a high bun bulging, very dignified, and when he came in, he politely congratulated the old lady, and the old lady also politely invited her to sit down, and the maid behind her immediately put a warm cushion on the seat for her.

Xie Sihua looked at her heart slightly, when she went out as a guest, she even brought her own warm pad, in her previous life, she also knew a little about Murong Zhao's mother, and her arrogance and nobility seemed to be really worthy of her reputation.

No matter how much disdain he felt in his heart, Xie Sihua still stepped forward and saluted, and said, "Sihua has seen the county lord." ”

The county lord of Qingping glanced at her, frowned slightly, and said, "The second girl in the mansion, right?" I heard that it's a beauty billet, why do you wear a veil? ”

Xie Sihua raised his hand and touched the gauze on his face, and listened to the old lady explain with a smile: "She accidentally ate something a few days ago, and her skin had a rash. ”

The county lord of Qingping sighed lightly, and turned his eyes away from Xie Sihua, after all, she was just a concubine, she really didn't care so much, so she changed the topic and said: "Old lady, I also want to discuss with you today, the marriage of our two families should also be decided on this day, and it was only said that it was next year, but now that it is the end of the year, the date is finalized, and I should prepare early." ”

Hearing this, the old lady said happily: "Okay, it's just that I can't do anything about this, and my parents still have the final say." ”

This marriage was brought by the Xue family when she sold the old lady's kindness to Lao Ping Nanhou, and the county lord of Qingping was not very happy, and he did not have much good impression of the Xue family.

If it weren't for the fact that the Pingnan Hou Mansion was not as beautiful as before, and Xie Xuan was the head of the three products, it would be impossible for the county lord of Qingping to agree to this marriage, and now she skipped the Xue family and came directly to discuss with the old lady, which is not unusual.

Hearing the old lady's tone, the county lord of Qingping smiled slightly, picked up the hot tea on the table and pecked it, his face was dull, and he didn't squeak again.

In the front hall, the banquet was set up by the Biyun Pond in the house, the guests entered the table one after another, groups of three or five found their friends, sat together and gossiped and talked, the men talked about nothing more than family and country affairs, rights and status, and the women talked about nothing more than the marriage of children in the backyard.

The Xue family was responsible for dealing with those ladies, and those girls should have been received by Xie Siqi, but because of the blow of Fahua Temple, Xie Xuan couldn't rest assured that she could deal with it alone, and wanted Xie Sihua to take advantage of this to emerge and take over the partial birth of her, so at this moment she had to let Xie Sijiao accompany Xie Siqi to maneuver among the girls who came behind her parents.

"Siqi, I haven't seen you for a long time, why didn't you come when everyone went to Longshan to enjoy the snow a few days ago?" A slightly sturdy girl stepped forward to take Xie Siqi's hand, it was Xie Siqi's best friend, the daughter of the Hubu Shangshu family, Ma Shuyun.

"Li Huan, that kid has asked many times." Ma Shuyun leaned close to her ear, chuckled, and then glanced at a young, dark-skinned young man in the men's table not far away.

Xie Siqi glanced at her line of sight, and met Li Huan's pulsed gaze, and couldn't help but shake off Ma Shuyun's hand angrily, and said angrily: "If you want to talk nonsense again, I will ignore you." ”

Ma Shuyun only thought she was ashamed, and teased: "Yes, yes, yes, the son of a little soldier Cao Lang, where can you get into your eyes, you are the one who is waiting to marry into the Pingnan Hou Mansion." ”

Hearing this, Xie Siqi was even more annoyed in his heart, raised his eyes and looked at the handsome man who was following behind Ping Nanhou in the distance, his eyes suddenly became sour, and he finally couldn't help but turn around and walk away, really ignoring Ma Shuyun.

Ma Shuyun smiled and looked at Xie Siqi's angry back in a daze, a little inexplicable, and then she saw Xie Sijiao standing behind Xie Siqi just now, raised her eyebrows and said lightly: "Who are you?" ”

Xie Sijiao was not annoyed when she heard this, she had never appeared outside, although she was slightly famous for the two poems she had written, everyone knew that she was a sick man, and it was rumored that she didn't know if she would live for more than twenty, let alone anyone who had seen her.

"Sijiao has seen my sister." Xie Sijiao bowed.

As soon as she heard her name, Ma Shuyun suddenly said, "Oh, you are Siqi's sick fifth sister!" ”

Xie Sijiao heard the slight contempt between Ma Shuyun's words, and thought that she hadn't heard any good words from Xie Siqi's mouth on weekdays.

With a gentle smile, she said softly: "Sister Ma, don't go to your heart, the eldest sister has been a little unwell in the past two days, and it is inevitable that she will be irritable in her heart." ”

Maybe it's preconceived, I've heard Xie Siqi say it before, Ma Shuyun saw her weak appearance at this time, and felt that she was not as arrogant as Xie Siqi, so she didn't bother to deal with her, and turned to other noble girls. She is a serious concubine, and a concubine like her is here, and she has lost her identity in this place, and she really can't understand how Xie Fu can let a concubine take on such a reception.

At this time, a loud cheer came from outside: "His Royal Highness King Qi has arrived, and Jiang Guoshi has arrived." ”
