In the early morning of the second day, Yan Xixia took Xiao Lian to put incense on her parents' tablet. Yan Xixia remembered Xiao Lian's words yesterday, and said with Jiusi: "You go to eat first, and my wife will take me on the way back."
Jiusi bowed to the two of them: "Yes, young master and madam, Jiusi retired first."
Xiao Lian was a little unaccustomed to others being respectful to him, and nodded in response: "Well."
Yan Xixia tilted her head to look in Xiao Lian's direction: "Lady, please light the incense."
"Yeah." Xiao Lian picked up the incense on the altar, lit it on the candlelight with a solemn expression, and directly reached out and handed it to Yan Xixia.
Thinking that Yan Xixia couldn't determine the location of incense at all, with a blushing face, he reached out and took Yan Xixia's hand, and put the incense in his hand: "Take it."
Yan Xixia nodded: "Thank you madam."
Xiao Lian took three more incense sticks and lit them, and took Yan Xixia to the front of the futon. The two of them knelt down together and bowed three times. Although Yan Xixia could not see, their movements were surprisingly consistent. Inserted in the incense tripod in front of the spiritual seat.
Even if Xiao Lian had seen his parents, the two stood up, Xiao Lian walked in front, Yan Xixia supported Xiao Lian's arm, and before she sat down in the dining room, Xiao Lian saw a woman dressed in purple coming. , As if he didn't see Xiao Lian, he went straight to Yan Xixia's side, stretched out his hand and took Yan Xixia's arm: "Brother Xixia, why don't you let Jiusi follow him?"
"My wife is with me," Yan Xixia drew her arms away, "I've said it many times, I'm a man, you should be careful with seed cotton."
Seed Cotton pouted and said displeasedly, "We've been closer than this since we were young."
"Now that I've grown up," Yan Xixia chuckled and said to Xiao Lian beside her, "Madam, this is the daughter of Butler Yan, Yan Zimian."
Xiao Lian nodded towards the seed cotton: "Hello, girl seed cotton."
Seed Cotton stared at Xiao Lian, her pouted mouth could hang on an oil bottle. Since it was her daughter's house, it wasn't annoying to look at, but her face was full of anger. Seed Cotton ignored Xiao Lian's words and snorted.
Xiao Lian looked at Seed Cotton who was obviously younger than himself and did not take it to heart. She wanted to pull Yan Xixia to sit down, but Yan Xixia didn't move. She took Xiao Lian's hand and said to Seed Cotton: "Seed Cotton, Xiao Lian Lian is my new wife, so don't be rude. In the future, he will be another master of Yan's residence, and I hope you treat him like me." The voice still had a smile, but it was a little serious.
Xiao Lian didn't make a sound to stop it. It was a fact that he was not angry, but it was also a fact that Seedmian didn't respect him. Yan Xixia was good for him, so why should he brush off Yan Xixia's kindness.
Seed cotton is fond of Yan Xixia, but she also knows that her background is not worthy of Yan Xixia, so she suppresses her affection. She hopes that Yan Xixia can marry a woman of the right family. Earlier, Yan Xixia took out the marriage certificate and wanted to marry the Xiao family. Seed cotton was not happy, and it was just a man. As a result, yesterday Seed Cotton heard that the newly introduced wife was the son of a concubine, and felt very uncomfortable. On the one hand, he felt that Yan Xixia's marriage to a concubine was too shameful, and on the other hand, he was angry that the Xiao family bullied Yan Xixia for his blindness.
Seedmian said nothing, biting his lips and looking at Yan Xixia with reddish eyes, but Yan Xixia couldn't see her painful appearance, Seedmian said again: "The Xiao family bullied you, the civet cat changed the prince, and used a scumbag to fool you. you."
"Xiao Lian is not a 'civet cat', and the first son of the Xiao family is not a 'prince'," Yan Xixia laughed at the words of the seed cotton, "Take ten thousand steps back, even if the civet cat is really the prince, his civet cat is better than that. Prince Jingui is very agreeable."
Seed Cotton couldn't listen: "Anyway, I don't think he deserves you."
"If you say that, I don't think I am worthy of him. Our family is not as good as before. He is a man with a great future, but he is worthy of a blind man like me."
After Xiao Lian heard this, she also held Yan Xixia with the other hand: "No, you are fine."
Yan Xixia tilted her head in Xiao Lian's direction and blinked, and said with a smile: "What's more, it is wrong in itself to judge whether two people are worthy of marriage."
Xiao Lian looked at Yan Xixia's eyes with no expression, but Xiao Lian seemed to see the light.
After Yan Xixia finished speaking, she turned her head in the direction of seed cotton: "Maybe you will understand when you grow up, seed cotton, you are my family, I hope you can accept him from the bottom of your heart. If you can't accept it for a while, I hope you respect him."
Yan Xixia has said this. Seedmian would be too naive if she still insisted on doing it her own way. Seedmian bowed to Xiao Lian and said, "Madam, it's rude of Seedmian."
Xiao Lian looked at the aggrieved seed cotton, as if she was looking at her sister, and said with a smile, "It's nothing."
As soon as Xiao Lian finished speaking, a child like a cannonball rushed over and hugged Yan Xixia: "Brother!"
Yan Xixia touched Yan Xidong's head: "Xidong, you haven't called your husband yet."
Yan Xidong turned to look at Xiao Lian, and his voice was crisp: "Hello, brother!"
Xiao Lian looked at Yan Xixia, who looked somewhat similar to Yan Xixia, and said with a smile, "Hello Xidong."
At this time, the housekeeper Yan and his wife also came. After everyone said something, they took their seats. Yan Xidong, like a little adult, sat beside Yan Xixia and asked, "Brother, what do you want to eat? Today there are vegetable cakes, peony cakes, Hibiscus pie, cooked meat pie."
"Xidong eats by himself, my brother has a wife," Yan Xixia held the table and chopsticks, turning her head to Xiao Lian, "I wonder if my wife is willing to help?"
Xiao Lian knew that Yan Xixia was helping himself to integrate into the Xiao family, and tried to behave without gaffe: "Naturally, I don't know what my husband wants to eat?"
"Excuse me, Madam, with a cooked meat pie."
Xiao Lian stretched out his chopsticks to pick it up, thinking that with a temperament like Yan Xixia, what he wanted to eat would be peony cakes or hibiscus cakes, Xiao Lian snickered inwardly, feeling that Yan Xixia's body was less immortal and closer.
"Thank you ma'am."
Butler Yan smiled at the way the two of them got along, and looked at Xiao Lian with a familiar face, and suddenly thought: "Did you stand at the door that day?"
Butler Yan didn't say what date, but Xiao Lian knew what he was talking about, nodded and said shyly: "Well, I'm too rude."
Butler Yan smiled and said, "It's not rude, you stood there all morning, and now I think about it, if I had more intentions and invited you in, you wouldn't have to stay outside the door for a few more days."
When this matter was brought to the table, Xiao Lian choked on the porridge in a hurry and coughed. Yan Xixia reached out and patted Xiao Lian's back, smiling: "Uncle Yan, don't talk about it, he is thin-skinned."
Butler Yan smiled and said twice: "This child is good, this child is good."
Seed cotton sitting next to Butler Yan's face was still not very good, but he didn't say a word.
After the meal, Yan Xixia brought Xiao Lian to the backyard. The bamboo forest and maple trees in the backyard were divided into half, and the red maple and green bamboo were intertwined with even more beauty. There is a two-story wooden hut in the middle, and the bluestone path is paved to the door.
Yan Xixia didn't need Xiao Lian to hold her hand or remind her, she walked into the house lightly, there was a bamboo table, a few bamboo chairs, a tea set and a chessboard on the bamboo table, Yan Xixia touched the chessboard: "This is usually me and my classmates. The place where friends drink tea and tell stories, when the weather is not cold, they are reading on the second floor, madam is interested?"
Xiao Lian couldn't wait to see where Yan Xixia usually went: "Well, I'm interested."
Yan Xixia took Xiao Lian's hand and took him to the second floor, before walking to the desk: "Madam, can I still write?"
"I believe it."
"That lady can trust me to write as before?"
"I believe it."
"What's wrong with that lady?"
"I believe everything you say."
Yan Xixia seemed to be delighted by Xiao Lian's words, and smiled and took out the rice paper and laid it out: "I'm sorry Madam helped me grind it, I'm afraid I can't see it and I'll get dirty all over."
Xiao Lian stepped forward to grind, Yan Xixia took a pen and dipped in ink to write, Xiao Lian watched the neat fonts pop out from Yan Xixia's pen one by one.
Yan Xixia wrote and asked Xiao Lian, "Aren't you curious?"
"I'm a little curious," Xiao Lian said seriously, "but when I think of you, I don't think it's strange anymore."
"I'm not an immortal," Yan Xixia smiled, "you might laugh at me if you say it."
"No." Xiao Lian asked again, "How is it written so neatly?"
"I used to be punished by my husband for copying in the school. After copying for a long time at night, my eyes closed unconsciously. At the beginning, the writing would be messy.
Xiao Lian was surprised: "You are actually punished by Mr.
"My naughty age is also restless, can't you see?"
"Well, I can't see it at all."
Yan Xixia smiled again and told Xiao Lian some interesting things about her in the past. Xiao Lian thought, it is estimated that Yan Xixia felt that she was a little uncomfortable when she first arrived at Yan's house, so she said this to make her happy. Xiao Lian could feel that Yan Xixia was a As the distance between them was narrowed, the mood slowly relaxed.
