Zisu raised her voice and said, "Girl, the eldest lady will send someone to invite you over. The old lady has already spoken on Yuxi’s birthday, and the whole family will have a meal in the upper courtyard tonight. The lunch at noon is in Qiu’s courtyard. Inside.
Now Yuxi's treatment has increased. In her previous life, except for her birthday gift from her elder mother, everyone else selectively forgot. Wherever it’s like now, the whole family takes care of the big things.
Duan Xinrong was so embarrassed and couldn't raise his energy when he hid something in his heart.
Zhou Shiya felt that Duan Xinrong couldn’t do this: "Xinrong, you came to Yuxi’s birthday happily, and then returned home in a daze. When your family rejected Jiang’s marriage, anyone can guess what Yuxi said to you. At that time, Yuxike will be difficult to do."
Duan Xinrong's heart trembled, and stood up and apologized to Yuxi: "It's mine." Yuxi's ability to say these things to her is entirely based on their friendship, and she can't cause Yuxi to cause trouble.
When the three people arrived at the main courtyard, Duan Xinrong had a decent smile on his face, which made people unable to see the slightest strangeness.
Qiu looked at Duan Xinrong, and said with a smile: "This kid is really different day by day, beautiful day by day."
Duan Xinrong is actually very good looking, with big eyes, pink face and red lips, petite and exquisite, with two small dimples when he smiles, and he looks very sweet.
After hearing such compliments, Duan Xinrong responded shyly: "Auntie has praised."
Qiu's heart moved, why she had forgotten such a good candidate, Duan Xinrong, except for three years younger than Ye'er, didn't meet her requirements in all aspects. The Qiu family is not someone who can hide things in particular. With this idea, Duan Xinrong becomes more enthusiastic.
Yuxi looked a little puzzled, but she really didn't think so far.
The lunch is very rich, with a large table full of dishes, everything that you can fly in the sky, run on the ground, and swim in the water. Yuxi said, "Auntie, how can you finish eating so much?" There is still a big meal in the evening, and it would be a waste to make so much at noon.
Qiu clan said unhappily, "It wasn't for you." This meant that such a rich meal was prepared for the guests.
Zhou Shiya said cheerfully, "I said, sweet and sour fish and lion heads are all my favorites. It turns out that my aunt made them specially for me!" Looking at Yuxi, she was very proud.
Yuxi laughed and said, "I made it for you, so I can eat more today."
After lunch, Duan Xinrong and Zhou Shiya went back. Yu Xizhi didn't make much detention, and sent them directly to the second door.
After Duan Xinrong returned home, he told her mother all these things Yuxi had told her.
Mrs. Duan Li was shocked by these words: "Ms. Yuxi really said that?" Mrs. Duan was pleased to dissolve such a daughter, so she was naturally very careful about marriage. When Jiang's family came to propose a marriage, they did not agree, but sent people to inquire about Jiang Jing. They have always heard that Jiang Jing is very good in all aspects, plus Mrs. Jiang's reputation in the upper circle, she agreed.
Duan Xinrong said: "Mother, Yuxi doesn't have to lie to me, and you can definitely find out if you just inquire about this kind of thing. Mother, the Jiang family's marriage is still pushed!"
Mrs. Duan thought for a while and said, "I'll let someone inquire about it first." She has to discuss this matter with her husband, but if what Yuxi said is true, this marriage must be abandoned. Otherwise, waiting for her daughter to marry Jiang's family, Mrs. Jiang will fight with Mrs. Jiang, it will be difficult for her daughter to be caught in the middle. In the evening, Master Duan came back from his yamen. Hearing what Mrs. Duan said, he muttered for a while and said, "Reject it!"
Mrs. Duan did not expect her husband to be so straightforward: “Let’s find out! What if it’s a misunderstanding? Jiang Jing’s child is very good. If it is a misunderstanding, it would be a pity.” Mrs. Duan has carefully inquired about Jiang Jing’s news, and Jiang Jing has done everything. Very good, Mrs. Duan was very satisfied, and she just gave up with a few words, she was a little bit reluctant.
Mr. Duan shook his head and said: "There is no hole in the hole, and the Rong'er is still young. Let's pick it slowly. Don't worry." Seeing Mrs. Duan's face hesitated, she said in a hurry, "We are just such a daughter. "
Mrs. Duan nodded: "If this is the case, then forget it."
Mr. Duan smiled and said, "It’s not that I’m boasting. I don’t have any differences in my family. I don’t have to worry about finding a good husband and son in the future. However, it’s better to find someone with a simple family background. "Ping Qinghou's generation is only a male, and he has no concubine brothers. With so many concubines, Laohou master Ji did not leave a son or a daughter. This shows the advantages and disadvantages of Mrs. Jiang's methods.
Mrs. Duan groaned: "The family is simple and has no foundation." The foundation of the Duan family is too shallow, so Mrs. Duan wants to find someone with a solid foundation for her children. In this way, she has her in-laws to help her if she has anything to do. Of course, the prerequisite is to meet her standards, and it is impossible to fail to meet the standards.
After hearing these words, Master Duan couldn't help but think of the affairs of Chaotang, feeling a little heavy. Concubine Song and the queen have been fighting openly and secretly, and the prince and the nine princes are also in a state of fire and water. Once the calm situation is broken, it will definitely be another storm. They are in the whirlpool, no one can guarantee that they will not get involved in that time.
It's not that Mrs. Duan didn't know anything about Chaotang. It was precisely because of her understanding that she wanted to find someone with a solid foundation, and she would help if something happened to her.
Yuxi didn't know that the couple of Duan was in depression because of his own phone call. At this time, she felt soft when receiving the gift. The old lady didn’t give jewelry this time, but a set of the four treasures of the previous study; Qiu’s gave a set of emerald jewellery; even Ye’s was also bleeding this time, and the one given to Yuxi was made by her in Ruyi Pavilion. A set of red gold jewelry.
Han Jingyan was the last to give a gift. Two people carried the gift into the house, and everyone was stunned.
The gift Han Jingyan gave to Yuxi was a Huanghuali wood-carved twelve-panel screen. The flowers and trees and figures carved on the screen were all high-relief, hollow, through, and three-dimensional carvings.
When Yuxi saw this gift, she felt very delicate.
Seeing the screen, the old lady looked at Yuxi's reaction, her face sank. The younger son usually looks shrewd, but he didn't expect to be so confused about this kind of thing.
Yuchen looked at Yuxi, thinking she was silly with joy, and couldn't help but gently push Yuxi. Yuxi came back to her senses and said happily, "Thank you, father, I like this gift very much." This screen is not worth two or three thousand taels, and this time Han Jingyan was quite willing to spend money on her. I want to come because of her recent growing reputation.
Han Jingyan nodded slightly when seeing Yuxi's face indeed showing joy, "Just like it."
Wu Shi looked at the screen, but his expression was not very good. This thing is not cheap at first glance, the master is really willing. Thinking of Wu Clan's depression again, Sanfang's financial power has always been in the hands of the master, and she doesn't even know how much Sanfang's family is.
A complicated look flashed in Yu Jing's eyes. She used to laugh at Yuxi for being a father who didn't hurt. Now that Feng Shui turns around, she has become the one who doesn't hurt her father.
Yuru looked calm when he saw it, and there was no jealousy or unwillingness in his eyes. In the past few years, she has already let go of her obsession. She now only hopes that her aunt will find a good relationship for her, and not much else.
Although Yuxi didn't have a big birthday this time, he made a lot of money. Shisu was in charge of the warehouse of the Rose Garden, looked at these things and smiled and said: "The girl's private room is now full again."
Kufu looked at the twelve screens that had been delivered, and said embarrassedly: "Where is this thing?" The rooms in the Qiangwei Courtyard were not spacious, and could not fit such a large screen.
Yuxi said: "My room is too small to fit, put it in the warehouse!" If the screen was broken, it would take up one third of her room. Of course, not to mention there is no place to do it, even if there is a place to do it, she is not willing to do it, looking at Ge Ying.
After the screen was moved away, Yuxi looked at Zisu and said, "Go and check, what's the matter with this thing?" Yuxi didn't believe that Han Jingyan would try his best to give her such a good thing. The gift must be tricky.
Seeing Yuxi, Zisu was about to enter the study again, and said, "Girl, today is your birthday, let's rest for one night!" After Mr. Song left, her girl did not slack off for a day.
Yuxi smiled and said, "I can't sleep even if I go to bed now. Why don't I go to read a book." Since Yuxi is rich, she is very willing to read a book at night and light four candles in her study.
Yuxi, who was shrunk in the study, did not read the medical book, but took out the "Han Shu" from the cabinet and looked at it. I started to read history books because Mother Quan said that reading more of this is useful, but now it has become a must-do thing every day.
After watching it for half an hour, Yuxi pondered it carefully, and then took a pen to write down her thoughts. This was also what Mother Quan asked her to do, and it has become a habit over the years.
In the Tingyun Pavilion, Shiqin said with some sigh: "The gift that the master gave to the four girls this time really took a lot of thought. The slave and the maid looked at the four girls tonight, and the smile on his face is really bad. Never stopped."
Yuchen smiled: "I hope this gift will let the four sisters know that Dad actually loves her too." She knows that Wu's reason has made Yuxi and Dad separated, and now Dad has changed her attitude, she believes that Yuxi will soon It will eliminate the barriers.
An hour later, Yuxi left the study and climbed into bed after taking a shower. I was tossed and couldn't sleep on the bed again: "Ziso, go to the study and get my medical book."
Kufu waited outside the door when Shiso went out.
Kufu followed Perilla into the room, and said in a low voice: "Sister Perilla, why do I feel that the girl is not very happy?" The girl didn't seem to care about this precious gift from the master, or she wouldn't leave the screen. Into the warehouse. It's an excuse to listen to what the room is too small, and there is no joy at all on the girl's face.
Zisu sighed slightly, and said, "It's good for you to know this." Kufu and Dongmai are both the girl's personal servants, and they can still be trusted.
Kufu said worriedly: "Can the girl still not let go of the past?"
Zisu smiled bitterly: "Don't you know what life the girl used to be? Would you let it go so easily if you changed it to you?" The girl had such a hard time, and even almost died, when the master was there. where? It is so easy to repair the relationship between father and daughter nowadays.
Kufu didn't know what to say. She has never experienced such a thing. Although her family has many brothers and sisters, her parents are very kind to them, and they don't even have a patriarchal view.
Shiso knows what Kufu is worried about. Kufu is worried that the girl’s true thoughts will be discovered and will be unfavorable to the girl: "Don’t worry, the girl acts appropriately. Over the years, the girl has not done everything well. . "At least, except for the few people who waited on them personally, no one could see the strangeness of the girl.
A few days later, Yuxi knew why Han Jingyan gave her such an expensive gift. These twelve screens were originally a gift for the 60th birthday prepared by Han Jingyan for Mrs. Jiang, but there was a spotlight when carving.
Yuxi asked, "What's the difference?"
Kufu said: "There is a poem on the ninth panel of the screen, and there is a wrong engraving in the poem." Actually, it was not the woodcarver who engraved the wrong word. It was the poet who wrote the poem at that time and wrote a homophonic word. Up.
Yuxi said softly: "Sure enough." It must be given to Mrs. Jiang, there must be no flaws, or it will be laughed at. It's so funny to give her things that others don't want and want her to be grateful.
Kufu was very surprised when she heard this, and said, "The girl knew that there was a problem with the screen?" Then her girl was too fascinated.
Yuxi chuckled, "I can't figure it out. I know there is something wrong with the screen." She only knows that this screen is so valuable and is carefully made at first glance, but she doesn't have that much weight in Han Jingyan's mind.
This action of Yuxi fell in the eyes of the old lady. The old lady turned the prayer beads and said, "Really confused." It is normal for a father to give valuable things to his daughter, but it is not normal for the younger son to give such valuable things to Yuxi. She suspects that there is a problem with this gift, not to mention Yuxi, who has always been thoughtful.
Mother Luo also shook her head: "I was too happy to receive such an expensive gift, but I didn't expect the fourth girl to be..." The fourth girl was really suspicious.
The old lady said softly: "She is resenting and resenting her. Yu Yan'er's negligence and negligence towards her, hate her for throwing her at Qingzhu Xiaozhu regardless of her life and death." Although the girl usually hides her well, but The look in her eyes can't betray people. When the girl faced her and Yan'er, her face was smiling, but there was no trace of fluctuation in her eyes.
Mother Luo couldn’t deny what the old lady said, she only said: “Old lady, the fourth girl’s filial piety to the eldest lady can’t be faked. Last year the eldest lady fell ill, but the fourth girl waited on her side unsightly. Moved. Moreover, the love of the four girls for the first son and second master is also true."
The old lady did not speak, but the prayer beads in her hand turned fast, revealing the restlessness of the old lady's heart.
Mother Luo thought for a while and said, "Old lady, even if the fourth girls marry out in the future, would she still dare to disobey and be unfilial to the third master? As for the government, there are elder ladies, elder sons and second masters, and the fourth girls will take care of them. They will not do things that are detrimental to the government."
Luo's mother will help Yuxi to speak because of Qiu's entrustment. The Qiu family knew that the old lady didn't like Yuxi, so Mother Toro occasionally helped Yuxi say something nice, so that the old lady wouldn't make things difficult for Yuxi. It was also Qiu's behavior that allowed Yuxi to avoid a lot of trouble.
The old lady held the prayer beads in her hand tightly: "If not, how can I tolerate her to this day."
