Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 16

Regarding Yan Zhaoning's proactive provocation, Yan Zhaohua just smiled and said with a smile: "What did my sister give, since she thinks it is not as good as mine, why should I give it? I dare not say that what I gave is worse than my sister's." , but it was done with care.”

Yan Zhaoning was choked by Yan Zhaohua's words, he didn't expect that his modest words would be ridiculed by Yan Zhaohua, Xie couldn't help it anymore, and continued:

"Whether the two sisters are good or not, no matter what it is, it's all a wish, mother, don't you think so?"

Mrs. Xie smiled like a flower, said this to Mrs. Liu, Mrs. Liu nodded lovingly, didn't say much, just handed back the ginseng tea in her hand to the nurse who was serving beside her.Mrs. Xie glanced at what Ranxiang and Qingzhu held in their hands. The gift box was sent to Yan Zhaohua by her. Inside were two wine glasses inlaid with gold and jade. The whole body of the wine glasses was pure gold. They are all inlaid with multicolored gemstones. Apart from being magnificent, they are indeed worth some silver. If this thing is given to other people to display and admire, maybe there is something to say, but it is not satisfactory to give it to the Duke's wife Liu.

Naturally, Mrs. Xie is not afraid that after Yan Zhaohua sends the things, if Mrs. Liu blames her for not mentioning Yan Zhaohua, then she can definitely say that this is what Sister Hua insisted on choosing. It's my own idea.

Everything has been calculated clearly in his stomach, Yan Zhaohua waved to Ranxiang and Qingzhu naturally, and the two maids presented the things respectfully as if they had been rehearsed, and they both knelt down and took the things. He raised his head above his head and said a few words of congratulations. Nanny Gui, who was beside Liu's, and another nanny who was sent to meet Yan Zhaohua and the others came over together, and took the incense and the green bamboo in their hands. He took the gift box and brought it in front of Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Xie was waiting for the order. Mrs. Liu gestured to her. Mrs. Xie took the order and stepped forward, walked to the front of the gift box, stretched out her hand and opened the gold-plated lock in the center of the brocade box, the gift box opened slowly, Mrs. Xie The smile on his face gradually froze.

As soon as the half-opened box was opened, Xie slammed it shut again. She raised her head and met Shang Yan Zhaohua's sharp eyes. Xie didn't expect that she would be shocked by the gaze of a little girl, and her panic continued to spread. .

Seeing something wrong, Mrs. Liu asked, "What's the matter, open halfway?"

Although her tone didn't fluctuate, Liu's puzzled eyes turned directly to Yan Zhaohua. Seeing her calm face and deep eyes... Liu was relieved.

Mrs. Xie turned around and faced Mrs. Liu, with an embarrassed expression on her face, the corners of her mouth trembling, and while giving Yan Zhaohua a resentful look, she said, "Well, what Sister Hua prepared seems to be wrong. , I will tell her to take it back and send it back again."

As he said that, he was about to turn around and call for someone, but was stopped by Mrs. Liu and said, "What can be wrong? Sister Hua, tell me yourself."

Yan Zhaohua stood up when his name was called, without any ambiguity, he said clearly: "Go back to my grandmother, there is no mistake, what I gave is what is in this gift box."

Xie seems to be a little anxious to get angry, desperately holding back his anger and said:

"Stop messing around, this is not a place for children to play around."

Yan Zhaohua was fearless, and smiled innocently: "What is the madam talking about, no matter how ignorant I am, I won't be joking around at this moment."

After saying this, Yan Zhaohua walked up to Nanny Gui who was holding the gift box, and without giving Mrs. Xie a chance to react, he stretched out his hand and opened the gift box in Nanny Gui's hand, revealing the True appearance, a rolled scroll came into Liu's eyes, Xie gritted his teeth angrily, but there was nothing he could do, Yan Zhaohua took advantage of the opportunity and opened another gift box, which was also a rolled scroll, but the length It seems to be smaller, but after counting, there are as many as four.

Yan Zhaohua picked up the big scroll, Nanny Gui immediately put down the empty gift box, and together with Yan Zhaohua unfolded the scroll, revealing the content in the scroll, the five girls with beautiful expressions were lifelike and wished birthday, The stitches are very fine, it can be seen that a lot of effort has been used. Mrs. Liu glanced at Mrs. Xie meaningfully, and Mrs. Xie's worried heart suddenly sank. Even Nanny Gui couldn't help but praise:
"Oh, Missy's embroidery of five girls praying for their birthdays is really unique. It's all done with double needles from the beginning to the end, and every stitch is perfect."

Nanny Gui is the one around Liu who knows the art of embroidery the most. She must be able to embroider well if she can say that. Liu felt strange in her heart, but she didn't reveal it. After picking up four maids and opening the four scrolls in another gift box at the same time, the doubts in Liu's heart were almost answered.

Suddenly, the tip of her eyes caught a glimpse of the name of the place where the embroidery presented by Yan Zhaohua was signed. Liu's eyes turned red, she stood up from the Arhat bed, walked to the opposite side of the scroll, and bent down to look at the place where the name was signed. Mrs. Liu wanted to see it, so she hurriedly asked the maid to lift the scroll higher, only then could Mrs. Liu see the words on the signature, and she was a little lost for a while.

Yan Zhaohua was very grateful, and said: "My mother's leisure character is 'Lishan Immortal'. I thought of her when I was embroidering, so I couldn't help but choose this style."

Mrs. Liu stretched out her hand to caress the four embroidered characters, and hearing Yan Zhaohua's words in her ears, no matter how hard her heart was, she couldn't help softening. At this moment, she still remembered the appearance of Sister Wei herself when she took this nickname, The past is so vivid, how can it keep people from being sad.

Resisting the emotion in her heart, Mrs. Liu took a deep breath, nodded, and said: "Good boy." Then she sat back in her seat and said to Nanny Gui: "Accept the congratulatory gift from Sister Hua. Alright, let's talk about this matter later in the back hall."

Mrs. Xie lowered her head and dared not speak. She secretly glanced at Mrs. Liu's expression. She was really confused. She didn't know what she meant. Although Mrs. Liu was emotional, she was not stupid. Embroidery, now seeing Yan Zhaohua's again, there is no doubt in my heart.

The hateful Yan Zhaohua actually did such a trick to her. At this time, Mrs. Xie knew that she had been tricked, but she really couldn't understand how a little girl became so powerful overnight. I know everything about the next move, I know that Caixia is hers, I know that she is not willing to give up the embroidery... I know her reaction to things, Caixia can't give her the wrong thing, that is to say , Yan Zhaohua had been on guard against Caixia for a long time, and acted for Caixia for two days with a lot of scheming, using fake things to confuse Caixia. The things that were given to her were actually hidden long ago.

If the things Xie conjectured really happened, then Xie really needs to re-evaluate Yan Zhaohua's ability, to be able to do such a thing under her nose.

There was a burst of singing outside: "The son of Prince Gong's mansion is here to pay respects to the old lady."

As soon as the words of Prince Gong's son came out, the hall became lively, especially a few young women and some unmarried girls. Who would have never heard of the name of Prince Gong's son Pei Xuan? He only hears his name but never sees his person. If he has the opportunity to meet him today, he is naturally delighted.

When Pei Xuan came, even the Liu family could not be negligent. He waved to the Xie family and Yan Zhaohua, telling them to go back to their respective positions. Don't let the matter slip in front of others. face.

Yan Zhaohua was calm, and since he was assigned the back seat, it was only now that he recalled that Mrs. Gu, the wife of Duke Dingguo's mansion, seemed to be Pei Xuan's cousin. This could explain why Prince Gong's mansion came here on purpose. In the last life, Yan Zhaohua and the Xie family were not close, so he only heard about these things and didn't pay attention to them.

Mrs. Gu and Xie Fan, the eldest grandson of Dingguo Duke's mansion, led Pei Xuan in personally. Gu's is Pei Xuan's cousin, and she has been married to Dingguo Duke's mansion as a wife for many years. How much does she look like Pei Xuan? They are somewhat similar, beautiful, but there are still flaws, unlike Pei Xuandan, who can't find any faults in his appearance, without opening his mouth, a face that is disastrous to the country and the people is enough to attract everyone's attention.

Yan Zhaohua stood aside together with other unmarried girls, Yan Zhaohua and Xie Xinrou, the younger girls, were all arranged in the back, and the ones standing in front were all girls who could discuss marriage. Zhao Hua only thought it was funny, among so many people present, there would be no more than three people who were qualified to speak in front of Prince Gong's Mansion, Xie Xinrou counted as one, the eighth lady of Zhen Guo Gong's Mansion counted as one, Rong The little Princess of Anjun Prince's Mansion is also considered one, but it's a pity that among the three, Xie Xinrou is Pei Xuan's niece. If she wants to call Pei Xuan an uncle, she is inferior in seniority. Impossible, besides, the little princess of Rong'an County's palace wears a veil on her face, which is enough in terms of status, but it's a pity that her face is not strong enough. From the root of her right ear to her cheek, there is a piece bigger than an egg. Birthmarks... But except for these three proud daughters of heaven, the rest are about the same status as Yan Zhaohua. Miss, but when they meet the royal nobles who are really in power, their identities are worthy of being a concubine, concubine or something. Yan Zhaohua has never been entangled in such fruitless things in his last life, let alone this life.

Looking around, I found that the eyes of the girls around were all turned into passionate flames. If the flames could come true, the gauze curtains in front of them would have been burnt to ashes.

"Congratulations on the old lady's birthday. Wansheng wishes the old lady good health and a long life. The father and king are involved in important matters and cannot come in person. I hope the old lady will understand."

Pei Xuan's voice was quite low, and it fit perfectly with his upside-down appearance. It was like a whisper between lovers, which made people blush and heartbeat involuntarily.

Mrs. Liu didn't dare to be negligent. It was previously reported that when Pei Xuan came in, she had already stepped off the footsteps and greeted Pei Xuan personally from behind the cotton curtain. Hearing his polite words, she was very happy on her face. She is radiant and radiant. She is the niece of Princess Gong, and she and Pei Xuan are cousins. Although there is a difference in age between the two, Pei Xuan is from her natal family. The old lady values ​​her so much, and Gu feels very honored.

Gu's conversation is good, his conduct is correct, gentle and generous, and he is already an expert in handling family affairs by accompanying Liu's side on a daily basis. Liu is very satisfied with this daughter-in-law. In terms of status, Liu is a first-class duke and wife. No matter how high the status of Pei Xuan is, he is still a junior. Even if Mrs. Liu just sits still, she is still eligible to receive a gift from Pei Xuan.

Pei Xuan is a foreigner, and although he and Gu are cousins, he is still young and unmarried although his seniority is high, and there are many ladies who have not left the court, so he cannot sit more according to etiquette, and Liu will be with him Sitting at the head of the main seat, Xie Fan was beside Pei Xuan, shouting at each other happily, talking to Mrs. Liu about the interesting things in the academy for a while, which heated up the atmosphere, Xie Fan is the eldest son of the eldest son Xie Yuan, Ten years old this year, just before Liu's birthday, the Duke and his son went to invite Xie Fan to be his grandson's grandson. Now Xie Fan is a serious successor, needless to say about his future.
