Chapter 18 A bracelet

Xiao Tingyun took Lan Zhi and Cai Xing out this time.

Caixing was given to her by the old Marquis, and she had great skills, but Xiao Tingyun usually didn't have much use for her. This was her first time attending a banquet, so it was better to be cautious.

Xiao Tingyun arrived at the door and saw Xiao Tingqi and Xiao Tingxue had arrived.

The two of them were stunned when they saw Xiao Tingyun, while Xiao Tingxue lowered her head. When Xiao Tingyun arrived, she whispered, "Third Sister."

"Yeah." Xiao Tingyun replied calmly.

"Thank you to Third Sister for sending me ginseng. After using it, I feel a lot more relaxed." Xiao Tingxue thanked her softly.

Xiao Tingyun smiled and said, "The most important thing is that the fourth sister can take good care of her health. There is no need for us sisters to be so polite to each other."

Xiao Tingqi said to Xiao Tingyun sourly, "The third sister is dressed up today."

When Xiao Tingyun heard this, he looked at the golden headdress on the other person's head and was speechless.

"Isn't it a little bit that the second sister said this to the younger sister..." After saying that, he looked at the other party's head, half-smiling but not smiling.

Sticking green onions in a pig's nose, you're pretending!
  Xiao Tingqi choked and looked at the simple headdress on the opponent's head, and then at the clothes.

I feel very unconvinced and strange.

She obviously didn't dress up much, she was solemn at best, but if she was attending a banquet, it would be rude not to be solemn. Why did she look a little different?
  Before Xiao Tingyun and Xiao Tingqi could argue, the elders all arrived.

This time Mrs. Xiao, the second Mrs. Xiao, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Huanshan, the third Mrs. Xiao, Mr. and Mrs. Xiao Heming and Shen Lan and several girls from home went out together.

Mrs. Song came over and saw her daughter's dress. Although she was not very satisfied, she could still see it.

Mrs. Xiao gave a few small instructions and got into the carriage.

Xiao Tingyun bent down and gave a blessing to her parents, and Xiao Huanshan touched her daughter's head lovingly.

Then Xiao Tingyun took her mother Song's hand and said, "Mom, let's go too."

"Yes." Ms. Song nodded with a smile, and the mother and daughter were particularly affectionate.

The two got into the last carriage.

A trace of envy flashed in Xiao Tingqi's eyes, and he turned sideways to look for his mother, only to see Mrs. Jiang raising her hand to smooth her little daughter's hair.

Xiao Tingqi felt sad, but he quickly raised his head high and said, "Let's go!"

She didn't want those people to see the joke!
  She ignored the two of them and quickly got on the carriage. She was afraid that she would say something unpleasant again.

"Your sister has a flamboyant temper. Tingxue, you should be more forgiving to your mother." Jiang said while frowning at her eldest daughter's behavior.

"Don't worry, mother. Second sister knows it well, let's go." Xiao Tingxue said slowly. Xiao Tingxue was usually quiet, so quiet that she seemed a bit dull.

Saying this didn't make Jiang think much.

Half an hour later we arrived at Taifu Zhang's house on Donglin Street.

After registering the birthday gifts at the door, he was welcomed into the house. First, he had to visit Mrs. Zhang.

Xiao Huanshan took his son to the male seat, and told his daughter to take care of herself and to call her mother if she felt uncomfortable, which made Ms. Song not look at her well.

"I know, father, don't worry!" Xiao Tingyun assured in a funny way. Her family really trusted her, which made her, an adult soul, feel extremely warm.

The Song family and the Jiang family walked in front with Mrs. Xiao, and several juniors followed behind.

Xiao Ji'an was held by the wet nurse and was looking around quietly at this moment.

The Xiao family is considered a big family in Kyoto. After all, there is a marquis, and several sons and grandsons are also promising.

So as soon as they entered Zhang's house, many people focused on them. Being able to marry the Xiao family will definitely be of great benefit. Now His Majesty is also very tolerant to the Xiao family.

As soon as the Xiao family's daughters appeared in the main hall, Xiao Tingyun noticed several sets of eyes looking at her. Xiao Tingyun just pretended not to know, lowered her eyebrows and raised her steps to greet her elders.

The old lady of the Zhang family is sixty years old. She is in good spirits, but her eyesight is a little blurry.

Mrs. Xiao and Mrs. Zhang exchanged greetings for a few words and then stopped talking. They were not that close.

Then he asked some girls at home to come forward.

Mrs. Zhang raised her hand and smiled and asked several people to come closer. First was Xiao Tingqi. Although Mrs. Zhang had a pleasant smile, her eyes were a little cloudy. Then it was Xiao Tingyun. Mrs. Zhang's eyes lit up and her smile became deeper. .

In the end, Xiao Tingxue was mediocre.

The three sisters congratulated in unison.

"Hey, what a pretty girl!" Mrs. Zhang said to Mrs. Xiao with dissatisfaction, "You guys, you have so many good girls hidden in your family, you don't want to let everyone see..."

She said she was the daughter of the entire Xiao family, but her eyes were locked on Xiao Tingyun.

Everyone looked sideways. They had seen other girls in the Xiao family. The only... special one was the third young lady.

I saw that she was dressed in green clothes, with a lifelike red lotus between her eyebrows, matching the white lotus hairpin on her head. Her elegance had the beauty of a daughter's family, her etiquette was upright, and she was neither arrogant nor impetuous.

His eyebrows were slightly raised, his eyes were moving, and he was astonished...

What a third lady of the Xiao family!

She actually looks like this! ?
  Isn't it rumored that she is ugly and has no salt? Didn't it mean that she was dying of illness?
  Why is it that when I saw you today, I was so beautiful that I was speechless? ! ! !

If she was ugly, how many women in the capital would dare to go out? ?

He is not as close to death as the rumors say, but his body is weaker than that of ordinary people.

"Yes, they look like flowers. My daughter-in-law is dazzled by them." Sitting at the other end was Mrs. Zhang's second daughter-in-law, who couldn't help but joked.

"Don't coax them. A group of little girls have been blinded by you." Mrs. Xiao smiled happily and reminded her granddaughters to know how to behave.

"Is this... the daughter of Erlang of your family?" Madam Zhang looked at Xiao Tingyun with a look of satisfaction in her eyes. She asked knowingly, but her inspection was a bit revealing.

"Exactly." Mrs. Xiao nodded and replied, "Ayun, are you still not polite?"

"Congratulations to the old lady on your birthday. May you be as blessed as the ocean and may your life span be eight thousand years longer than the coffin." Xiao Tingyun's voice was clear and bright, like gurgling spring water, which made people feel refreshed both physically and mentally.

Mrs. Zhang laughed after hearing this, "What a person whose life span is more than 8,000 years old. It sounds very fresh today. This girl is destined to me!"

After saying that, he took off the bracelet from his wrist and put it on Xiao Tingyun's hand.

Everyone has different thoughts.

Xiao Tingqi looked angry, it was her again!
  Xiao Tingxue only tightened the handkerchief on her palm, and lowered her eyebrows as usual.

Mrs. Song frowned slightly and wanted to stop her, but she didn't say anything, so she asked Mrs. Xiao for help.

Xiao Tingyun shied away, "Old Madam, no."

"Yes, you'd better not scare her. The little girl's behavior is not safe, and she is not worthy of a bracelet like yours." Mrs. Xiao took the words with a smile, but her words were full of rejection.

"It's just a bracelet." Mrs. Zhang took hold of Xiao Tingyun's hand, not caring.

Xiao Tingyun was pulled so hard that her wrists hurt. She didn't show any emotion and only pursed her lips. This old lady had strong hands!
