Chapter 51: Breaking the Rules
After Mi Xia Yao and Pei Xingyuan walked out of the study together, their faces were solemn.
"What Grandpa said, will you do it?"
She stopped, turned her head to look at Pei Xingyuan and asked.
The man was walking behind Mi Xia Yao with one hand behind his back, and raised his head when he heard the voice, "If Master personally tells me, if I don't obey, I really won't be a human being inside and out." β
He chuckled under his breath, self-deprecatingly.
It seems that the words that Second Master Mi said this morning were more or less listened to by him.
"It's really strange, usually you treat everyone with arrogance, even the prince dares to offend, and now a person who is not an official in the court says two words about you, but you still listen to it."
She tilted her head and looked the other party up and down, and there was only a novelty in her eyes.
Pei Xingyuan saw that it was the first time for her to observe herself so closely, so he simply followed her words and nodded.
"Your second uncle is too hurtful to speak."
Mi Xia Yao shook her head three times in a row, "Is it possible, the person who can cover you in this life is not a woman, it's my second uncle?" β
Pei Xingyuan: ......
He has brought the atmosphere to this point, why does this woman still think that it is a problem brought by the outside world.
The self-deprecating smile on his handsome face was gone, and he gritted his teeth and looked at Mi Xia Yao in front of him, who was full of nonsense.
"The master wants to give the prince a little loss, but for the young master, it doesn't have a big impact."
"Could it be that the backer behind you is not the prince, but someone else?"
Pei Xingyuan was amused by her innocent words.
"The master has to rely on the prince, and I can't get through the fact that I was still celebrating the banquet in the palace after the snow disaster."
Last time, after the three princes reported to the sick emperor that the prince's actions were unreasonable, the officials who were at the banquet at the court and related to the prince were all punished.
This sentence is too much information for Mi Xia Yao.
She frowned slightly and was about to think, but was interrupted by a word from the man.
"Instead of thinking about me, think about how you will dress after a few days of worshipping the Buddha."
Mi Xia Yao raised her head suddenly, "I didn't miss you!" β
"Ah-yes, I'm standing in front of you, master, why bother thinking about it."
"Pei Xingyuan!"
ββ
The worship of the Buddha a few days later is indeed something that Mi Xia Yao needs to consider.
Recently, because of the eldest princess's birthday, Yuelailou sold a large number of fabrics, although she was not worried, but she refused to stop there.
So a few days before the Buddha, it happened that the New Year was visiting, and she cut a new set of clothes with the most exquisite fabric in Yue Lai Lou.
Then I went to the invitation handed by Zhu Xiuxiu.
There are only a few upstart gatherings.
There are not many people, but they are all easy to get along with and don't have the stinky temper brought by those families.
Mi Xia Yao is also a good person, and she gave everyone a piece of fabric for sale in Yuelai Building.
"Earlier, I asked my father and brother to go to Yuelai Lou to see if there were any beautiful fabrics that I could bring back, but I only found half of them."
Zhu Xiuxiu was ecstatic and hugged the whole piece of fabric.
was happy to a certain extent, and Zhu Xiuxiu finally realized that her reaction was too exaggerated.
She saved herself and said, "I'm so excited, we invited you here, not to draw these fabrics." β
On the other side, the little girl with the same status as Zhu Xiuxiu held the cloth and nodded in response.
"Last time at the eldest princess's birthday banquet, we all witnessed Sister Mi dealing with Miao Qi.
"This Miao Qi usually grew up in the capital because he grew up in the capital, so he ridiculed us for being a sparrow and a phoenix, and said that we were rural soil."
The little girl looked not very old, and when she talked about Miao Qi, she was very angry.
Mi Xia Yao paused slightly, and the wind outside blew in, forcing her to pick up the shawl on her shoulders again.
At this time, Zhu Xiuxiu and the others completely noticed Mi Xia Yao's full body dress.
"Did Sister Mi grow up in Beijing since she was a child?" Zhu Xiuxiu couldn't help but ask.
Mi Xia Yao honestly confessed that although she lived in the capital for a short time, she later married into Jingzhou City, and she returned to Beijing after leaving for a while.
What she said was quite frank and straightforward, which also led to Zhu Xiuxiu, who was usually open-minded, but because of the local people in Beijing, they were excluded from the outside world.
caused the minds of these little girls to become cautious.
"They feel that the soil is mostly because the color matching is not conspicuous enough, and most of the girls in Beijing like low-key and elegant, and often the more this happens, the more there is a feeling of precipitation over the years."
Mi Xia Yao saw that they were really deep in thought, she thought about it and decided to help them.
"Sister Mi, this shawl looks so good! Can I wear the same as that? Zhu Xiuxiu nodded as if she didn't understand.
Soon, she put all her attention on Mi Xia Yao again.
Mi Xia Yao blinked and was stunned for a moment.
Zhu Xiuxiu immediately explained: "We have never seen Sister Mi in Beijing wearing a shawl, just like the feeling of breaking the convention......"
has been suppressed by Miao Qi and those people in Beijing for so long, Zhu Xiuxiu has long been rebellious.
The parties didn't care, but they didn't expect that Zhu Xiuxiu didn't pay attention to them, and they were always staring at her outfits.
For a moment, Mi Xia Yao vaguely had other thoughts in her heart.
The content of the little sisters' party is nothing more than complaining about the little gossip of the hostile enemy, and no matter how bad it is, it is distressed that the people in the family are too strict with themselves.
For Mi Xia Yao, a half-woman who is married and divorced, such a situation is too naΓ―ve.
After saying hello to Zhu Xiuxiu, Mi Xiayao left under the pretext that she had other things to deal with.
ββ
On the day of the Buddha's worship, the Ministry of Rites came out of the palace early in the morning with a huge battle.
The queen mother's phoenix drove in front, and the carriages behind were all nobles and ladies of the family.
Mi Xia Yao's carriage was in one of them, and the one who went to worship the Buddha with her was Mrs. Mi.
"What I asked you before, you haven't explained it to me yet, how did you get to know the son of the Rong family?"
Mi Xia Yao guessed that Old Madam Mi would ask her questions, but she never thought that she would chase her to this point.
"Because I want to buy Yuelai Building, I have a relationship, so I can only be regarded as a nodding friend."
She said half-hidden.
Old Madam Mi glanced at her, was silent for a moment, and sighed silently.
"You are not young now, and there are still so many girls in the Mi family waiting to say goodbye......
"Alas, you are the most conspicuous girl in the Mi family."
What Old Madam Mi said was like Mi Xia Yao had done something that shouldn't have happened.
"Didn't the second uncle say that his granddaughter was an outsider, how could it affect the marriage of the Mi family girl now?"
Her words did not show any mercy, and the old lady Mi's tone paused slightly, knowing that what she said was wrong.
She hurriedly said: "I'm just worried that everyone only sees you as a girl from the Mi family, and others don't pay attention to it." β
"Then let them go out and show their faces more."
