Chapter 137

Zhao Xi lives with her father, her boudoir is not big, but the layout is warm and delicate, and the owner's unique wisdom can be seen everywhere, which makes people feel comfortable at a glance. A four-sided flower and bird embroidery screen divides her boudoir into two parts: the inner room and the small flower hall, the embroidery on the screen is exquisite and beautiful, the composition is comfortable, and the colors are bright, even a layman like Xie Yuan knows that this embroidery screen craftsmanship is not ordinary.

"This is embroidered by Jiaci. Zhao Xi saw the admiration in Xie Yuan's eyes, and couldn't help but purse his lips and smile and ask, "Is Cousin Yuan also interested in embroidery?"

Xie Yuan shook his head: "I don't know embroidery." My mother said that she would wait until I passed my seventh birthday before she asked her master to teach me to be a female red. ”

"Why do you want to celebrate your seventh birthday?" In the small flower hall, not only Xie Yuan and Zhao Xi, but several of Zhao Xi's sisters and cousins were there, and there were six or seven people sitting together.

Hearing this question, they all looked at Xie Yuan, Xie Yuan is the noble concubine of the Hou Mansion, and she is almost the highest status among these loli, plus she has only returned to Bai Yujing, and people don't know much about her. Some noble girls who came from afar didn't know who Xie Yuan was.

Xie Yuan blinked, looking playful and cute, the girls thought she would explain, but she replied: "That's what my mother said, I don't know." ”

The girls expressed their disbelief and pestered Xie Yuan to ask her to say it. Xie Yuan looks like Yuxue cute, because of the ** sickbed, she is small and thin, not like a girl who is almost seven years old, but like a five or six-year-old sister, and the girls like her well-behaved appearance.

It was Zhao Xi who relieved Xie Yuan: "You see that Cousin Yuan is so young, she has been sick for a long time and her body is just fine, maybe she has to recuperate for a while before she learns to be a girl." ”

One of her sisters-in-law, Zhao Yin, also explained to Xie Yuan: "In a family like ours, the female red needle is just a formality, and only the embroidery girl will put that effort into studying." Cousin Yuan's health is just right, why is Mrs. Hou willing to let her touch the female red so soon?"

All the girls nodded one after another: "Oh too! My female popularity is not good, but my mother still forced me to learn, and none of my ten fingers were pricked by needles!"

"Fortunately, my mother doesn't have high requirements for my female celebrity!"

Zhao Xi looked at Zhao Yin's affirmation by most people, and couldn't help sneering in her heart, her sister, even if she stepped on someone, would not let go of any opportunity to please others! In this Zhao Mansion, who doesn't know that the sixth girl Zhao Xi is ingenious, but the seventh girl Zhao Yin can't even embroider a simple plum blossom?

Xie Yuan just laughed, she neither echoed nor refuted.

Zhao Yin saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "Some things can not be done seriously and hard. But like a female red, you still have to learn, otherwise you won't even be able to get a piece of embroidery when you get married, and you will be ridiculed by your in-laws. ”

She glanced at Zhao Yin meaningfully, and sure enough, she saw anger and humiliation in her sister-in-law's eyes.

Although the girls don't like female celebrities, Zhao Xi's words are also very correct, and some shrewd people also saw that the two sisters did not deal with each other, and in the end, they echoed Zhao Xi even more. Grandma and concubine, everyone knows that grandeur is more favored, and Zhao Xi just got a valuable gold bracelet!

"When is Sister Yuan's birthday?" Since Zhao Xi and Zhao Yin didn't deal with each other, the girls simply turned the topic to Xie Yuan, she was the highest-ranking lady in this small flower hall.

Xie Yuan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "In two months, I hope my birthday will be more lively." ”

Hearing this, the girls who were not born in Bai Yujing suddenly collapsed, and one of the girls from Hangzhou City pouted: "It's a pity that we have to go back next month and can't participate in Sister Yuan's birthday." ”

If you can participate in Xie Yuan's birthday, with the atmosphere of Qianyuan Houfu, you will definitely be able to invite many nobles in Bai Yujing who are difficult to meet on weekdays, it will be a good opportunity!

All the girls here have thought of this, they live deep in the inner house, the dispute between the big house and the second room, and the dispute between the concubine and the concubine, which leads to their way of thinking about problems is very profitable, and their thinking is relatively precocious.

Zhao Yin immediately said: "When the time comes, we will prepare a good congratulatory gift for Cousin Yuan!"

Zhao Xi also temporarily stood on the united front with Zhao Yin at this time, and she said with a smile: "I hope that Cousin Yuan will not dislike the simplicity of our gifts." ”

Xie Yuan smiled slightly, and said at the right time: "Hangzhou is a good place, I still want to go to Hangzhou City to have fun." He added, "The gift represents the heart, as long as it is appropriate, I don't have so many cares." ”

The girl in Hangzhou City covered her mouth and smiled: "It's better to find a chance to get together with Sister Yuan before we leave Bai Yujing, let's give her a congratulatory gift in advance!" replied, "My family is in Hangzhou Taishou Mansion, when Sister Yuan comes to Hangzhou, don't forget to write to me!"

"Well, I remember. Xie Yuan said.

Zhao Xi said: "When the time comes, I will invite Cousin Yuan to come and get together, and everyone should prepare gifts." ”

They talked about the prosperous Hangzhou again, because everyone was very interested in Hangzhou and chatted very happily. Not long after, a maid came to pass the word, Zhao Xi apologized to the women, and went to the Hanging Flower Gate to follow the Chen family to entertain those Bai Yujing nobles.

After a while, the maids of these girls came over to spread the word, and everyone left Zhao Xi's boudoir Xiaohua Hall and went to the hall where the guests were entertained. Da'an is open to the people, and the male guests are not allowed to enter the inner courtyard of the hanging flower door, so it is no problem for the girls in the boudoir to stay in the hall.

Because of the 60th birthday of the old lady of Zhao Mansion, and the fact that she has a son of a first-class member of the imperial court who is very valued by the emperor, there is an endless stream of people who come to Zhao Mansion to celebrate his birthday, and the traffic is busy, and the bluestone road outside Zhao Mansion is blocked. The Chen family and the concubines took their daughters to greet the ladies of various families in front of the Hanging Flower Gate, and their husbands greeted their colleagues and friends in the front yard.

A stage was set up in the garden in the backyard, and Bai Yujing's troupe with the highest appearance fee was singing on stage, babbling. The old lady sat under the stage, and the ladies of each family also sat below, and when the birthday banquet was eaten, the guests could leave.

Xie Yuan followed Shen's side, with a smile on her face, listening to Shen's greetings with the ladies and nobles, and by the way, she introduced her daughter out, and called "sister" and "sister" so that Miss Xie's mouth was a little dry. However, Xie Yuan also got to know a lot of noble girls with the same status as her, with different personalities, and there were many noble girls that Xie Yuan felt could make good friends.

Shen first asked Xie Yuan how many noble girls she remembered, and then asked her about her impression of the noble girls, and then told her which character was kind and generous, and which was the selfish and ruthless character of stabbing in the back.

Xie Yuan was older than the Shen family in her previous life, and her status was higher than that of the Shen family, but the way the Shen family taught her to see people made her very fascinated, so that she had to admit that her mother was much better at seeing people than her.

"Like the sixth girl of Zhao Mansion, she is a scheming person, and Sister Yuan has less contact with her. has such scheming at such a young age, and she grew up in such a complex environment as Zhao Mansion, it would be fine if her mother had been doing so. If her mother is killed by a concubine, I don't know what kind of person she will grow into in the future. Shen said.

"And her sister-in-law, Miss Zhao Qi, that kind of person knows at a glance that she is an unscrupulous person who only cares about herself and does not care about others. Shen had a bad impression of Zhao Yin, "You'd better not associate with this kind of person, because if you're not careful, you will be stabbed in the back by her." ”

After returning from the Zhao Mansion, Shen and Xie Yuan whispered in the nameless house.

This state is very poor, so let's have three more chapters. I'm sorry.
