Shao family has a daughter

Chapter 15 Conspiracy and calculation (4)
The princess of the three counties said "Ouch", "Look... Although the pattern and style are the same, this pair is more delicate and beautiful, and the embroidery is extraordinary." She thought: "It seems that it is not our family's needlework."

"Really?" Princess Dajun looked at her with a forced smile.

Princess Qing nodded and said, "That's right, the third daughter-in-law is still sharp-eyed."

Gao Chen glanced lightly, "Mother, the pair of shoes you praised are the shoes I bought from Shao's." His tone seemed to be really appreciative, "In Xianzhi Town, everyone knows that Shao The wife of the family is the first in embroidery."

"So that's how it is." Princess Qing smiled towards the screen: "No wonder Mrs. Shen's needlework is so good. It turns out that she is famous for being the number one in embroidery. This is extraordinary."

Shen hurriedly humbled herself, "It's not about fame, it's just that I do more sewing."

Concubine Qing deliberately eased the atmosphere today, and then looked at Xianhui, "Just now your sister said, how many of you made these boots together? It seems that your mother taught you well, and your two sisters are also good at needlework."

Xian Hui smiled, "Yes, I made Princess Wang laugh."

Princess Qing was cheerful, "Then let me rely on my age to be an elder. If you say something presumptuous, if you have time, your sisters will make a pair of shoes for me so that I can see them." She added: "Don't worry, I'll take them later. You can exchange things for you, and you won’t suffer.”

From the side of the female relatives, there was a soft cry.

You know, as Princess Qing, it is impossible to lack shoes. She asked Xianhui and Minghui to make shoes. In the future, the reputation of this pair of sisters will definitely spread throughout Jiangdu.

For the ladies who are waiting to be married, this good reputation is an advantage in choosing a husband's family.

Shao Tongyun has spent so many years in Prince Qing's mansion, but he never got the favor of Princess Qing, and he didn't tell her to honor a purse or a handkerchief, so he couldn't help feeling sour.Thinking about it carefully, not only did Xianhui not make a fool of herself, but she helped her become famous in Jiangdu by going around today.

——I really regret and hate.

Everyone chattered and talked, and they all looked at Ming Hui and Xian Hui, quite appreciative.

Xianhui hurriedly smiled and said: "The concubine has seen many good things. It is our sister's honor to be willing to show her face. Besides, today not only the concubine has caused a lot of chaos, but also the four counties. I want to make a pair of shoes to repay the princess."

Princess Qing saw that she was smart and able to talk, her eyes were a little more satisfied, "Well, she is a sensible girl."

"Mother, since there is nothing else to do, my son will not disturb you." Gao Chen bowed and saluted, and said politely to the screen again, "The outside play is about to start, please enjoy watching it, ladies and gentlemen. , Excuse me for my farewell."

He turned around and strode out the door.

When I turned the corner at the end of the corridor, I looked back,—Xianhui?
If it weren't for the fact that I was giving birth to my nephew today, and the farce happened again in Prince Qing's mansion, and I was worried that the manor would lose face, how could I have the patience to deal with a group of women?Forget it, there's no need to argue with a little girl.

The clear winter sun cast a layer of frost on his tall and slender figure, and he gradually walked away.

In the hall, there was already a bustling atmosphere.Concubine Qing took the lead in chatting and laughing, Princess Dajun, Princess Wuyang and others followed suit.It was as if the kings of the four counties just now had never been here at all, Xianhui was not misunderstood, it was just a dream.

Soon the time came, everyone got up one after another, and walked over to the stage with humility.

After going out the door, Mrs. Shen stepped forward and held her little daughter's hand, and looked at her with concern, "Follow mother." There were a lot of things to say in her heart, and it was inconvenient right now, so she could only take her by her side tightly.

Minghui and Grandma Shao also looked nervous, and until now... their moods haven't calmed down yet.

Fortunately, it has been calm since then.

When I sat down to watch the opera, the troupe performed pretty well. There were gags, lively martial arts, and literary operas with euphemistic lyrics. Every play was performed quite wonderfully.But in the hearts of today's guests, I'm afraid that the play that Xianhui sang just now will be more exciting.

As the previous protagonist, Xianhui sat obediently beside her sister at the moment, without saying a word, staring at the stage, feeling a little dazed.Just as he was distracted, suddenly... the strange feeling of being scrutinized twice before came again.

She kept her composure, then turned her head suddenly to look at——it was the same middle-aged woman from before.

"This mother..." She deliberately smiled at the woman, "Bring me a plate of sour plums."

The middle-aged woman turned her head and left without saying a word.

Xian Hui asked the little girl next to her, "Do you know who that mother is?"

The little girl shook her head, "I don't know."

Xian Hui felt a little strange, even if her father and Rong's mother and daughter were going to sell themselves and find someone to come and see her, how did the woman recognize her?She lowered her head and saw sixteen green and white Xiangshui skirts on her body.Look at the ladies present, either wearing red, purple, or delicate colors such as apricot.

Dressed up like a new green willow, unique.

--I see.

Can't help laughing, this is the reason why father made new clothes for himself, right?I can't help laughing at myself.

After the stage was dispersed, the guests who came to the banquet today exchanged greetings and courtesies, and then gradually dispersed, the guests left Prince Qing's mansion one after another.

After getting into the carriage and walking for a while, Minghui dared to speak in a low voice, "My God! I'm really going to scare me to death today." She couldn't help but hugged her younger sister, "It's a good thing that you are quick-witted, and at least you took the gold leaf The origins are explained clearly."

"It's okay." Xian Hui patted her sister's hand, absent-minded.

——I'm afraid the real big event hasn't come yet.

Minghui said angrily: "I really didn't expect that..." Pointing to Shao Tongyun's carriage, "How can she be so bad? It's fine if she just quarrels at home. Outside, she doesn't even give it to her." You save a little bit of face? If she didn't intend to embarrass you, how could she... "

"Be careful!" A young man's voice sounded outside the carriage, and people around exclaimed.

Xianhui heard that voice very familiar.

Minghui's mood hadn't calmed down at first, and she was frightened again, and she was even more frightened. She immediately asked, "Mother Ding, what's going on outside? What happened?"

Mother Ding replied: "Two scholars walked carelessly and almost bumped into the carriage. But they are fine, they just scratched their clothes, so don't worry about the two young ladies."

"You guys are too unreasonable!" Someone answered, "It's clear that your carriage suddenly went astray and bumped into my friend. How can we say that we walked carelessly?"

The man's voice was mellow, with the refined air of a gentle scholar.

Xianhui was surprised, really didn't expect to meet her brother-in-law Song Wenting today?She understood the temperament of her future brother-in-law very well, he is not that kind of rascal, let alone lie and deceive others, so she said to the outside: "Mom, since our carriage went astray and tore his clothes, let someone Just make up for it."

Mother Ding hesitated, "Second Miss..."

"Forget it." Outside Song Wenting had already relieved, "Your carriage didn't mean to go astray, we didn't intend to argue." He paused, "It's just that my friend's robe is newly made and was scratched by your carriage. If it is rotten, he must be compensated with a robe."

Mother Ding has been in the Shao Mansion for many years, and as the momentum of the Shao Mansion has risen, it inevitably adds a bit of slavish air. How can she take two frail scholars into her eyes?Immediately sneered, "I said you two nerds, you are so ignorant, my lady gave me good words, but you made more and more progress. You have to pay for gifts and clothes. We haven't asked you to pay for the scare fee yet."

"You..." Song Wenting choked with anger.

"Forget it, Brother Song." Another person persuaded: "If it is broken, it will be broken, just go back and find someone to fix it." His voice is different from Song Wenting's, it is clearer and thinner, you can only hear his voice but not his person, Then he can outline the appearance of a thin scholar, "It's better not to argue with people, let's go."

Is it Lu Jian?Xianhui's heart skipped a beat.

"No way!" Song Wenting's personality was a little stubborn, and even a little bit of righteousness for his friends. "It's clear that they are wrong, why do we have to swallow our anger? It's really unreasonable."

"Hey..." Mama Ding became displeased, "What are you talking about? Who is being unreasonable? Somebody, hurry up and take these two nerds away." She cursed, "Bah! A good dog is not in the way. "

"Mother Ding!" Xianhui was already full of anger, but was fueled by Ding's mother-in-law scolding her brother-in-law, scolding: "You don't listen to me, do you? Shut up!"

Mama Ding lost her voice.

Xian Hui was angry and nervous again, her heart was beating like a "thump, bang, bang" - is that young man whose robe was torn off really Lu Jian?By coincidence, she raised the car curtain a little and looked out.

Unbiased, he just met Lu Jian's clear gaze.

Xianhui blushed immediately.

She hurriedly put down the car curtain, regretting her rash behavior just now.

Ming Hui tugged at her sister's sleeve, and whispered: "What are you doing? You are usually said to be prudent and sensible, why did you suddenly become mischievous just now? Are people outside also nice?"

Xianhui lowered her head and remained silent.

Seeing that her younger sister was already ashamed, Minghui was afraid that her face would be tender, and she would lose her face if she continued talking, so she had to stop talking.Angry and funny, he stretched out his hand and pinched her face, "Crazy girl."

"What's going on?" Shao Jingye rode over.
