Fair Lady

Shuyao was sitting under the osmanthus tree embroidering, the warm sun shining on her body, she was very comfortable.Xiao Guai and Huo Huo also lay at her feet basking in the sun, not bothering to move.

Two people came in from the courtyard gate, and the one walking in front was a woman with a simple round bun, wearing a clear padded gown with a squirrel fur collar, and holding a post in her hand.Following the mother-in-law was a fourteen or fifteen-year-old maidservant in Tsing Yi, holding a flat wooden box in her hand.

The woman saw Shuyao under the sweet-scented osmanthus tree at a glance, and thought that she should be the cousin girl she was looking for. Just as she was about to step forward, Huo Huo suddenly made a "squeak", and the little girl who closed her eyes and fell asleep immediately raised her head , looking at the two strangers vigilantly.The mother-in-law stopped quickly, but fortunately she didn't scream out of fright.

They have already been warned that they must not scream or speak loudly in the Xia family's courtyard, especially when facing the cousin girl and the two young masters. If they provoke the white tiger who is extremely protective of the master, it will not be fun.

The little maid in Tsing Yi murmured in a trembling voice, "Didn't you mean the little tiger cub? This is clearly a big tiger."

The second girl who came over with a bowl of jujube soup gave a "puchi" smile: "You will grow taller, and our little boy will naturally grow up too, right? How can we always be tiger cubs? May I ask who are you looking for?"

The old lady stood there looking at Shuyao, not daring to go any further: "Biao girl, this old slave is Mrs. Deng from the Zhen Mansion in Daming Prefecture, who is serving by the old lady's side. This old slave has met Biao girl."

Mrs. Deng is the No. 1 lady around Mrs. Zhen. Zhen Dafu and Zhen Dagui should respectfully call "Mother Deng", let alone the young master and girl of her grandchildren.She really hasn't called herself an "old slave" for many years.It's a mouthful to say that.

Mrs. Deng was slandering in her heart, but it did not hinder the respectful and modest smile on her face.

Shu Yao lowered her eyes, appearing to be concentrating on embroidery, but she was actually hiding the hatred and anger in her eyes.

In the previous life, Shuwen was brainwashed and then drowned. This Mrs. Deng was the direct culprit, although in the previous life Li Muhai had already avenged her for this in order to please Shuyao.The little grandson of Mrs. Deng was also burned out.At this moment, Shuyao couldn't help trembling hands and feet when she saw Mrs. Deng. Xiaoguai and Huohuo quickly sensed Shuyao's emotions, and they all stared at Mrs. Deng angrily, as if they would rush if Shuyao gave an order. In the past, tear up the formation of that mother-in-law.

Mrs. Deng and the little maid trembled from being stared at, but her voice was not loud.The attitude is also very gentle, why does that white tiger seem very angry?

Shuyao secretly took a few deep breaths, and when she raised her eyes, the clarity and innocence in her eyes had recovered: "Since you are serving by your grandmother, you don't have to be so formal, Er Niu. Bring a chair for Mama Deng to sit on."

"Thank you Biao girl!" Mrs. Deng was secretly startled, Biao girl is not yet seven years old.There was an aura in his words and gestures that no one dared to underestimate, but he couldn't fault it.

Mrs. Deng bowed her body, "I am here this time to pass on the words of the old lady and the uncle. The eighth day of the first lunar month is the old lady's birthday. The old lady hasn't seen Miss Yao and Young Master Wen for many years. She wants to take you to Daming Fucheng for the new year. , just in time to send you back after attending the old lady's birthday banquet. The old lady loves you two so young... every time I think about it, I can't help but cry."

This is to put aside the big brother.So good at coaxing her and Shuwen?Shuyao is funny, many years?She and Shuwen haven't seen that grandmother since they were born, okay?No one in the Zhen family has ever met.Until the day my mother closes her eyes.Will the old lady feel sorry for them?It must be because I feel sorry for Yinzi, I wish I could strangle her to death.

"We go to my grandmother's house for the New Year, what about my elder brother? What about my parents? Our surname is Xia, we are descendants of the Xia family, and our eldest brother is like a father. Naturally, we are where the elder brother is. How can we run to other people? Went to the house for the New Year?" Shuwen who ran over slowly looked like a grown-up man, he was furious when he thought that the Zhen family wanted to sell himself and his sister, and when he heard that the Zhen family had come again, he hurried out of the study When I ran out, I was afraid that my sister would be bullied.

Shuwen's words were a little rushed, but the truth is right, and he is a 6-year-old kid, so it is really hard for others to criticize, Shuyao didn't say anything to stop him, and when the book was finished, he smiled and said: "Wen'er Don't worry, let Mama Liu see that you are going to say you are impatient again. Our family has an older brother who is in charge, no matter who has any ideas, they always have to discuss it with him. Mama Deng is a grandmother, so she naturally understands this. The two of us What can a child decide? Tell us what you want."

I don't know whether it was intentional or not, but when Shuyao said "grandmother", she bit the word "outside" very hard.

Shuwen and Shuyao are strong and soft, one sings bad face and the other sings red face, which makes Mrs. Deng who thinks she is seasoned a little confused.The little maid behind Mrs. Deng's eyes also widened: This cousin girl and young master are only six years old, aren't they?Look what this says!No wonder the people who came to the uncle and wife said that the young master and the girl are not easy to mess with. The uncle and the wife can't please each time, and they go back miserable.

Not only were the two messed up, but Xia Shuqing who had just stepped into the courtyard also sighed secretly: the Zhen family members had no face in front of the three of Shuyao, and it was also difficult for their Xia family to get close to these three brothers and sisters.

But for the sake of her own relationship and reliance in the future, and for her aunt Xia Ruoxue's advice, Shuqing still had to put down her body and run to this small courtyard in the market.Although their Xia Mansion is empty inside, they still live in an area where rich and noble families gather in Yulin County. How could they come to such a lowly place like Xitang Street before?

Seeing Shuqing bringing Mother Lu and Adai in, Shuyao wanted to look up at the sky strangely: what a good day today? "Expensive" cameo days?

"Sister Qing'er is here? Erniu, bring another chair. I'm sorry, Sister Qing'er and Mama Deng, our house is full of chairs like this, you just sit on it." Shuyao said politely said, but there was no discomfort or embarrassment in his tone.

Mother Deng, who had regained her composure, saw Xia Shuqing, who was dressed luxuriously and had an outstanding temperament. She must have been the third girl from the Xu family who had a good relationship with the cousin girl. She smiled flatteringly: "The cousin girl has a distinguished guest?"

"It's a sister of the family. Mother Liu said that the door is full of distinguished guests." After Shuyao answered, she scooped up a spoonful of red date soup and swallowed it. Would you like a bowl of jujube soup?"

Although it was expected, Shuqing's straightforward introduction to Shuyao as "a clan sister" was still very depressed, "No, thank you sister Yao'er. My aunt misses you very much, let me come to see you from time to time, a family of flesh and blood Dear relatives, if there is less contact, it will be bad if you have a birth share."

Shuwen saw that there were only two girls, one big and one young, and knew that they would not be able to please Shuyao in front of Shuyao, and there was a little girl protecting them, so he didn't bother to watch them pretending here: "Sister, you entertain guests, I'll go back to the study Yes. Xiaoguai, Huohuo, you all stay with sister obediently, and don't offend the guests."

Xiaoguai shook his head, indicating that he received it.

Huohuo gave a disdainful "squeak" and rolled Shuwen's eyes, as if saying "Nonsense!"

Shuyao patted Huohuo's head amusedly, and nodded to Shuwen: "Go, drink the jujube soup first, don't let it cool down."

Seeing that Shuyao didn't respond to her "family affection talk" at all, and that brat Shuwen was still taking "guests" one at a time, Shuqing secretly squeezed her fists.Seeing that Xiaoguai and Huohuo are so spiritual, I am really envious.Why did all the good things happen to Shuyao?God gave her another life, isn't it love for her?Want to make it up to her?Why not give her some good luck like no other?

Seeing the disappointment and jealousy that could not be concealed on her girl's face, Mother Lu patted the back of her hand quietly, but the girl was still not calm enough.

Mrs. Deng also murmured to herself: It seems that Xia Mansion is also trying to please the three children, the aunt, but the cousin and the young master really don't like it.

Fortunately, she was mentally prepared before she came. The uncle told her that these three people are ghosts and ghosts, and because the Murong Mansion wanted to "recognize" Shuyao before, she was still worried about it, and she had a grudge against the Zhen family. , I'm afraid he won't agree to go to Zhen's mansion for the New Year.

Originally, Mrs. Deng thought it would not be difficult to coax the two children by herself, but...the two younger ones are so difficult to deal with, let alone the older one.Alas, having a backer means being confident!

Forget it, now I have to settle for the next best thing, which can be regarded as the completion of the task of this trip: "Cousin girl, what the old lady means is that you will worship your aunt and uncle on New Year's Eve, and you can go to the mansion before the eighth day. Stay in the mansion for a few more days to accompany her old man. The old slave couldn't bear to see the old lady miss the cousin girl and the young master all day long, and wanted to give the old lady a surprise, so he decided to let you go to Daming Fucheng to celebrate the new year."

Shuyao was just "concentrating" on tasting the jujube soup, this is Liu's mother's unique skill, it's delicious!

After Mrs. Deng finished talking to herself, Shuyao said, "Er Niu, take the post from Mother Deng. When I come back, I will hand it over to my elder brother. He will arrange it naturally." How can a six-year-old girl like her have the patience to listen to "understand" Mrs. Deng's wordy talk?Grasping the key point, the next post is that it is her own business that Mrs. Deng is willing to waste her tongue and be passionate, haha.

"..." Mrs. Deng was at a loss for words. She was talking about her feelings for a long time. Was she playing the piano with a cow?Alas, I was thinking too much, although Biao girl seems to be shrewd, isn't she just a little milk baby?Where do you know this?That's all, the post has been delivered anyway. "Cousin girl, that old slave is going back first."

"Well," Shuyao took the hot cotton towel handed over by Er Niu and printed her lips, "Mama Deng please send greetings to grandma and uncles and aunts on behalf of our brothers and sisters." Mama Liu said, saying good things to show There is no need to spend money on empty etiquette, even if you say a lot.Gift?No!If they brought something, they just returned something of similar value, didn’t they bring it?Of course there is no return gift!
