"Why are your hands so cold?" Yan Jinqiu touched Hua Xiwan's hand, frowned, and his broad palm tightly wrapped Hua Xiwan's hand, "It's so cold, if you want to say anything in the future, just put the person Call the manor to stay with you for a few days."
"Didn't you say that it is also a must in the snow scene, why is it so vulgar now?" Hua Xiwan held the stove in the other hand, letting Yan Jinqiu hold the umbrella with one hand and hold her with the other.
"As long as it's for your health, it doesn't matter if it's vulgar," Yan Jinqiu smiled, and simply let go of Hua Xiwan's hand, stretched out his hand and wrapped the man around his shoulder and continued to walk forward.
Hua Chuyu, who silently followed behind the two, said: His Royal Highness King Xian, when you show your affection, at least you have to take care of others behind you, okay
Before returning to the main hall, Yan Jinqiu retracted his arms, then straightened his clothes, handed the umbrella to Mu Tong who was beside him, and entered the door with Hua Xiwan with an extravagant arrogance.
When the main hall, which was still very lively, saw the couple coming in, they both quieted down. After a polite greeting, everyone was led to the dining room by several juniors of the Hua family.
The Hua family invited Yan Jinqiu and Hua Xiwan to sit on the table many times, but they were rejected by Yan Jinqiu every time. With the elders here, there is no reason for the younger generation to sit on the throne, and I also ask Lord Taishan to fulfill Ziling’s heart.”
Yan Jinqiu gave Hua Hesheng enough face, Hua Hesheng was naturally happy, but he could only show embarrassment on his face and invited the old lady to sit down, and then sat down with Lu Shi next to the old lady.
However, although Yan Jinqiu let the three elders sit in front, the rest of the Hua family did not dare to sit above the husband and wife, so Yan Jinqiu and Hua Xiwan sat down next to Hua and Sheng in turn, and no one said anything. , but to praise the two of them for their kindness and filial piety.
Although the old lady is still in good health, she is also an elderly person, so although the dishes on the table pay attention to the meaning of good fortune, longevity and auspiciousness, most of them are light or sweet and soft. After Hua Xiwan has eaten a few mouthfuls, I feel like my mouth is full of sweetness.
Because it was a family banquet, everyone paid attention to the liveliness, so there was no need to serve the cloth dishes. Some dishes that matched the taste of Huaxiwan were a little far away from her. Fortunately, there was a long-handed Yan Jinqiu, so she was not hungry or rude. 's crisis.
"Sister, why don't you move? It's not to your taste?" Hua Qingmao felt ashamed of Hua Yiliu because of what happened in the past, so Hua Yiliu and Hua Yiliu often cared about her after they left the mansion, seeing her suddenly moving her chopsticks. , and asked in a low voice, "Is it still not feeling well?"
"It's nothing," Hua Yiliu smiled at Hua Qingmao with a sickly pale face, then lowered his head and continued to use the unpalatable dishes in the bowl. After so many twists and turns, she has long been accustomed to seeing the warmth and warmth of human relationships, and whether small meals are unpalatable is not that important at all.
She lives alone in the same yard as the servant's mansion after leaving. Because of her mother's indifference to her, the servants who serve in the yard are also slack. If it is not for Hua Qingmao's younger brother who often takes care of her, I am afraid that she, the young lady of the servant's mansion, will still be slack. will be mistreated by the next person.
Thinking of her mother's resentful face and scolding her because the first child was a daughter, and how much grievance she had suffered as a mother, Hua Yiliu felt that she and her mother were pathetic and ridiculous, and the hatred in her heart gradually grew. When I got down on her, I disliked her daughter and disgraced her and made her listen to gossip. Why not strangle her to death when she didn't know anything
In this way, she doesn't have to suffer these crimes, and her mother won't be gossiped because of her daughter. Isn't everyone happy
"Princess Xian and Wang Xian are really in love," said Mrs. Luo, who was at the same table, although her voice was low, but she ensured that the people at the next table could hear, "I said something more polite, just when I saw the prince and the princess walking hand in hand, If I hadn't seen the princess in the past, I almost thought the two of them were the immortal couple in the picture."
Hua Yiliu sneered, this Mrs. Luo once said behind her back that Hua Xiwan had such a face, if it was known, it would cause disaster, and she also said that Hua Xiwan was a lazy person, not a woman who should be housed and IKEA, now Turning his head, he changed his face, which is really admirable.
After the banquet, everyone sat down under the stage in the mansion and began to perform some actors in the stands. Hua Xiwan's first role in her last life was Hua Dan. , was stabbed to death by the guards because of the assassination of the male protagonist.
In order to perform this one-minute trick well, she also made a special trip to learn singing and posture from friends who studied drama. Now, thinking about her past life, it really feels like a lifetime.
"Bang!" The sound of a teacup shattering came from behind. Hua Xiwan looked back and saw Madam Zhang sitting on the chair with an embarrassed expression. A teacup was shattered in front of her, and the tea poured on the ground still lingered. Steaming.
"Brother and sister, what are you doing, is the tea too hot?" Mrs. Zhang raised her chin slightly, and said with a somewhat arrogant expression, "Come on, change Mrs. Zhang's tea."
Hua Xiwan frowned slightly when she saw that Mrs. Zhang was so embarrassing for her next sister-in-law, but as an outsider, she couldn't care more about such things.
"Is it hot?" Zhang Shao took a few steps forward and carefully held up his wife's hand. Seeing that the back of her hand was red, he suddenly said distressedly, "Why is it so hot?"
"Why did the younger brother act like a child? Come and ask Mrs. Zhang for an imperial doctor." Mrs. Zhang looked at this half-way brother and his sister-in-law with a smile, and his face was not very good. "Look. Come because we are slow to treat our distinguished guests."
Is there something wrong with Zhang's mind? Even if she really didn't want to see Zhang Shao and his wife, she should see her parents treat them more politely. The two elders of Zhang's family are old now and always have someone to wait on them. Offended so badly, what good is it to her
Or maybe she thinks that Zhang Shao can get a lot of property and titles by adopting her parents, so she feels resentful and dislikes Zhang Shao and his wife in every possible way
Hua Xiwan didn't know that Zhang's relationship with her husband and children was very rigid because of Hua Yiliu's affairs, and Hua Zhiming never had the same room with her again. She is now at home, but she was treated as a family by three family members. Hollow Man.
She was unhappy, and she had nowhere to vent. Now that Zhang Shao and his wife finally came to the door, she couldn't help being mean, saying it was a bit harsher, but it was that inexplicable sense of superiority that supported her to do this kind of thing. .
"Eldest sister's words are serious. Our husband and wife are people who live ordinary lives. Because of the great grace of God, we can serve both of us at the knees of our father and mother, and we are very grateful. He is a generous and bright person, so how can he treat us slowly." Zhang Shao bowed to Mrs. Zhang with a cold face, "My wife is unwell, please forgive us for our rudeness."
After he finished speaking, he turned around to confess the crime to the old lady and Hua Hesheng, and prepared to take people away.
Hua Hesheng had a good impression of Zhang Shao, so he did not embarrass him, but instead asked the imperial physician to wait in Zhang's residence. Lu also asked someone to bring scalding ointment and asked Mrs. Zhang to apply the ointment to relieve the pain.
From Mrs. Lu's point of view, Mrs. Zhang really doesn't have everyone's bearing, but the so-called everyone's bearing is raised by gold and silver. Mrs. Zhang prides herself on being noble and looks down on others, but it was only because she spent better food and clothing than others when she was a child. To be honest, the things that Lu Shi did are really not like what a woman from an aristocratic family could do.
Hua Xiwan saw the husband and wife walking in front of her to say goodbye, she hurriedly and politely reached out to hold up Madam Zhang, who was saluting her, and said softly, "Madam should use less expensive things these days, otherwise it will be bad to leave scars. already."
"Many thanks to the princess for caring, the court lady took it down."
Zhang shi coldly watched the Hua family send off Zhang Shao and his wife politely, and felt more and more uncomfortable. Now in the Hua family, she is like an outsider, isolated by their family.
A lively birthday banquet was made like this by Mrs. Zhang, and the old lady was a little unhappy, but there were other people present, and she was not easy to have a seizure.
Hua Xiwan and Yan Jinqiu also stayed for a while, and after sitting for a while, they got up to say goodbye. In the end, when Hua Xiwan left, there was an extra package in her hand, and inside the package was a beautiful fox fur cloak.
Stroking the soft and smooth fox fur on the cape, Hua Xiwan said to Yan Jinqiu who was sitting beside her: "Two years ago, I asked my mother to make me a fox fur cape, and my mother agreed, but later Because the emperor ordered the marriage, my mother was busy preparing the dowry for me, and the work of making the cloak was put on hold."
"Two years have passed, and my mother still remembers what she promised me..." Hua Xiwan smiled and said with a fox fur cloak, "My parents raised me for more than ten years, and I am afraid that I will never be able to repay this kindness in my life. already."
"They treat you well because they love you, not for any repayment. True feelings cannot be measured by how much." Yan Jinqiu looked at the cloak in Hua Xiwan's hand. Not a single mottled hair was found, and the stitching was very natural, and there was no trace of stitching, which was enough to show that the man who made the cloak was very attentive.
"You're right," Hua Xiwan raised her eyebrows with a smile, "I was wrong."
Reaching out and touching her temple, Yan Jinqiu smiled silently.
After returning to the mansion, Mrs. Zhang smashed a set of tea sets. Looking at the empty room and the trembling servants outside the door, she sat down in a daze.
I don't know how long it took, she heard a clock outside, it was already dark in the house, and the lanterns hanging on the corridor outside had been lit.
"Come on, hold the lamp."
She stood up, touched her hoarse voice, and suddenly realized that because she had been sitting for too long and did not want anyone to come in, there was no charcoal fire in the room, and her hands and feet were almost numb from the cold.
When the maid in charge of the lamp came in, she couldn't help but ask, "Where's the master?"
"Master stopped in the study."
"What about the young master?"
"Young master is still reading books, saying that it is for the spring of next year, so he must study quietly."
Zhang shi felt a little relieved, and then asked, "Is the health soup I asked the kitchen to cook for the young master every day, and he still enjoys it?"
The maid's action of cutting the wick paused for a while, and then said, "I don't know what this servant is." In fact, the young master took all the soup that the madam had sent.
But she couldn't say it, and the lady wouldn't want to hear it.
Zhang's complexion changed slightly, and then he sighed: "I see, you go down."
