Chapter 7: Debut
Yao Yun smiled coldly in her heart, she still came when she should have come, and she made up her mind so soon.
She lowered her head obediently, pretending to be ignorant and innocent: "Life and death are fateful, and wealth is in the sky." The little girl understands this truth, and now the little girl has nothing else to ask for, but to be able to stay by her brother and sister safely and watch them grow up safely. ”
Shen Chaoyun took her hand too affectionately, and said softly: "Mrs. Yao, you are only seventeen years old now, you are still young, and there are still many good days in the future." Isn't that good news for you? ”
Yao Yun raised her eyes to look at her, her face was slightly red, her eyes were red in panic like a little white rabbit, she squeezed out two jade tears, and said delicately: "Little girl, little girl don't understand, please make it clear to the eldest lady." ”
She smiled and said: "Mother pities you for being alone, and you have to work hard to raise your younger siblings, which is not a long-term thing." It just so happened that the uncle's fourth son, Brother Hong, was also a widower, Brother Hong lost his wife two years ago, and poor Meng died in childbirth, with one corpse and two lives. Brother Hong is only three years older than you, and the two are the most compatible. Although Brother Hong is a concubine, he is now the Xuanjie captain of the eighth grade, and if he has the support of the Guogong Mansion all the way in the future, this promotion will not be a difficult thing. Mrs. Yao, what do you think of this family business? ”
Yao Yun breathed a sigh of relief slightly, fortunately she was not asked to marry Xiao Chun as his fourth aunt, and she was slightly relieved.
She took the embroidered handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, pretending to be excited and delicate, and said softly: "Big lady, the little girl is from a humble background and sends people under the fence, so she doesn't dare to ask for anything more, the old lady and the big lady, you also personally chose this good family business for the little girl, the little girl really doesn't know how to thank you, please accept the little girl's ......."
She hurriedly got up to kneel down and salute, but was grabbed by Shen Chaoyun's arm.
"Oh, don't do this big gift, you will be my good daughter-in-law in the future."
"Thank you, lady."
After Yao Yun left, Shen Chaoyunfu sat back on the sandalwood chair, but his face was not as kind as before, and the corners of his mouth instead puffed into a smug smile.
This Xiao Shihong is the precious son of the third aunt. Fang Yirou's slut has always been the most favored by the grandfather of the country, since Xiao Shihong's original partner died in childbirth, Aunt Fang has tried her best to find another family for him, and by the way, she can bring the boy out of the house, and Xiao Chengzhong is also looking forward to it. Now that the old lady has personally decided on this marriage, no matter how much the slut tosses, she has to accept it honestly.
This Yao Yun was born in the countryside and has a humble identity, if he marries Xiao Shihong, he will definitely be able to make that cheap hoof angry and tossed, if he loses his temper in front of Grandpa Guo, it would be even better. And the mother said that this Yao Niangzi still has some means, if the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarrel, this fox will no longer have the heart to seduce the grandfather. This family business is really killing three birds with one stone, and it is all in line with her heart!
After returning to the Hidden Moon Pavilion, Yao Yun's gentle face became gloomy. She had already heard that Xiao Shihong's biological mother, Aunt Fang, was Xiao Chun's favorite concubine, and she had always been at odds with the eldest lady, this was to push her out and become a bird, and she was forced to become a sword chess piece in the hands of others!
However, the most important thing at the moment is to stay in the Zhenguo Mansion for a long time. Marry, or marry the Xiao family, so that she can stay in the Zhenguo Mansion openly, and Ah Wei and Ah Mao can always stay in the Zhenguo Mansion. That doesn't seem like a bad thing to her!
On the ninth day of September, the Chongyang family banquet.
The eldest lady personally invited her to the family dinner tonight, and ordered three new robes to be brought.
Yao Yun understood her intentions, if she was lucky enough to get into Xiao Shihong's eyes, it would be easier for her to marry in.
She took the initiative to change into a set of smoke-pink rhombic pattern full-breasted skirts, slightly powdered, combed a popular hanging cloud bun among Chang'an ladies recently, and pinned a silver pearl butterfly-style hairpin to the bun. Yao Wei and Yao Mao also put on new robes, and the two settled down, ate well and slept well, but they were already white and round by three or four pounds in half a month.
She led Yao Wei, Yao Mao, and the maidservant Green Peony to the main hall in the front yard, and halfway through, a strange voice suddenly came from not far behind her. Someone is calling her, and it's a man!
"Yao, Yao Niangzi, please, please stay."
She turned around, protected Ah Wei, Ah Mao, and Lu Shao behind her, and leaned forward, only to see a tall young man standing under the mottled dark shade on one side.
At this time, Lang Jun in the shade of the tree also took a step forward, and his half-dark and half-light delicate face suddenly brightened. Although he is not the appearance of a clear wind and a bright moon, his appearance is upright and Lingran, and he is also a dignified person. He seemed a little nervous at this time, and his face was slightly red.
Yao Yun bowed to him slightly, and said softly: "Lang Jun is good, I don't know what Lang Jun is about?" ”
He unconsciously touched the back of his head, his face was delicate and amiable, and he said in a low voice: "Yao, Yao Niangzi, I, I am Xiao Jiasi, Shilang Xiao Shihong." ”
She was slightly stunned, lowered her head and greeted softly: "I've seen Shiro, Shiro is fine." ”
He stared at her stunned, only thinking that her face was like a peach blossom, pink cheeks and jade cheeks, much better looking than his deceased wife Meng, not as arrogant and unreasonable as Meng's, and her voice was also very clear and pleasant.
"The eldest lady has already told me about the marriage, and I, I am a little curious, so I think maybe, maybe I can wait for you here."
Yao Yun smiled and asked softly, "Shiro, what stains are there on the little girl's face, why do you keep staring at the little girl?" ”
Xiao Shihong was stunned, a little surprised that she would ask him so boldly, and said excitedly: "Good, good-looking, Yao, Yao Niangzi is so good-looking!" ”
She lowered her head shyly, deliberately carrying a handkerchief, wanting to cover half of her face, and smiled softly: "Shiro, if we don't leave, we will be late." ”
Only then did he realize that several people had been here for a long time, and he was afraid that they would be late to enter the table.
His face turned a little red, and he said honestly: "Okay, okay, Mrs. Yao, let's go quickly!" ”
Yao Yun smiled and took the first step. She was a little surprised, it turned out that this Xiao Shihong was still a delicate and honest captain, but unfortunately he stammered a little. It may not be a bad thing to marry him, and you may be able to live a harmonious life of respecting and treating each other with courtesy.
Yao Yun led her brother and sister to sit at the last table in the hall. From time to time, she could feel the burning gaze coming from the front left side, she raised her eyes slightly, and saw Xiao Shihong in front of her looking at her with a smile on his face, his face was red. But there was another dazzling cold light on the same side, and it was Aunt Fang who was glaring at her fiercely.
She calmly turned to the side, ignoring the disturbances in front of her, and was busy feeding Ah Wei hot abalone porridge.
There was a sudden commotion behind him, and a few lively and active little ladies Xiao Langjun whispered about the sixth uncle or something, thinking that it should be the sixth master of the Xiao family.
