Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 6

Yan Zhaohua walked to the main courtyard according to his memory. The old woman who was guarding the door saw her, and after saluting hurriedly, she went in and told her about Mrs. Xie. Yan Zhaohua went in without waiting for the old woman to come back. Walking in has never happened before, although Mrs. Xie never said that she would be prevented from entering, it can be said that Zhaohua still abides by the rules every time, and has to wait until the mother-in-law has finished the transmission before entering.

The mother-in-law just answered in the yard, and before the servants in the room came out to answer, Yan Zhaohua had already arrived outside the door, and Hong Qu came here before he realized it, and said to Yan Zhaohua behind him:

"Miss, why don't we wait in the yard, my wife hasn't spoken yet."

Yan Zhaohua pretended not to hear, and continued to walk two steps forward, but stopped suddenly, pulled off a green snowy hairpin from his wrist, and tiptoed into the single snail bun on the head of the red canal. Come on, Hong Qu is holding something in his hand, he can't touch it, he only knows that the things given by the eldest lady are very valuable, so he said:

"Miss, this..." He suddenly gave her something for no reason, why?

Yan Zhaohua smiled, and replied: "It's not easy to treat you in Qingqueju. I always thought you would look good wearing this. When I see my wife later, I can't make my wife feel that I have treated you badly."

Hong Qu blushed, and said in a low voice: "Miss, what are you talking about? It is Hong Qu's blessing to be able to serve by Miss's side. How dare you want such a valuable thing from Miss? I'll go back later, and I will wipe it with my maidservant." Clean it up and return it to Miss."

But in his heart, he concluded what Yan Zhaohua meant by saying that he must want to give her something, but Qingzhu was staring at the side, so she couldn't give it to her, so she could only give it to his wife. Yes, if you do this, the lady won't have to offend anyone.It can even show in front of his wife that she reuses the person his wife gave her... Hong Qu thought in his heart.

It's not that Hongqu has a big heart, but this kind of thing actually happened before. The eldest lady thought that the shuttlecock she made was beautiful, and wanted her to teach her how to kick the shuttlecock. At that time, because the green bamboo and dye incense were there, the eldest lady didn't want to let her They talked too much, so they personally sent some things to her room at night, so this time, Hongqu naturally wouldn't doubt the truth of what Yan Zhaohua said before, and happily accepted the hairpin she had coveted for a long time .

After passing by the gatekeeper lady, she went straight up the steps and lifted the curtain by herself. Behind the curtain came out a nun wearing a dark green bijia, her hair combed meticulously. This belonged to Wang Gui's family and was usually carried in the main courtyard In charge of affairs, no real power, all relying on a fierce appearance, so that the timid dare not mess with it.

When Wang Gui's family saw Yan Zhaohua's outstretched hand, they bent their knees slightly and said perfunctorily, "Miss is so impatient, Madam is changing clothes, you should wait outside."

Yan Zhaohua glanced at her, not wanting to talk nonsense with her, so he sneered and said:

"Anything dares to stop me, get out!"

Yan Zhaohua obeyed Mrs. Xie in the past, which does not mean that she has a good temper. It can even be said that she has a bad temper and has a reputation for being violent and reckless. Man, she's not in such a good mood.

Perhaps it was not the first time that Zhao Mama was scolded by Yan Zhaohua. Obviously, she didn't take it seriously, and she was still blocked outside the cotton curtain. Although this young lady had a lot of momentum, she was just a piece of paper after all. I'm used to her, but in fact, no one in the house knows that this eldest lady is actually nothing, and everything will be in the hands of the wife in the future, so what's the use of losing her temper now.

After such a fight, the fretted cotton curtain was opened from the inside again, and a middle-aged daughter-in-law came out. One person is in charge of the outside, and the other is in charge of the inside, Zhang Ping is in charge of the affairs inside and outside the mansion, and Wang's is in charge of all matters big and small in Xie's courtyard.

Seeing Yan Zhaohua, he hurried up to greet her with a smile and said, "Yo, it's really the eldest lady who is here. This gang of blind slaves dares to stop anyone, so hurry up and back off, blocking the way of the eldest lady, ma'am You are the only ones who are asking." After saying something indifferent to Zhao Nanny who was standing there, Mrs. Wang changed her face to Yan Zhaohua again, and closed the curtain affectionately for Yan Zhaohua, please Zhaohua entered.

The layout of the main courtyard is still the same as it was when Xie Wei was alive, and no directions have been moved. This is also where Xie's strength is. She was able to live in the courtyard that Xie Wei liked for so many years without moving anywhere. It's the same as showing complete respect for the ex-wife. This scheming and endurance are really not to be underestimated.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Wang, Yan Zhaohua passed Baoxia and went to the inner room. Mrs. Xie came out from behind the screen. She really seemed to have changed her clothes. The collar sash with pattern, and the earth dragon is burning in the room, although the clothes are thinner, they are not cold at all.

Mrs. Wang waited on Yan Zhaohua to remove the cloak and handed it to the little maid who was waiting on the side. Mrs. Xie came over and took Yan Zhaohua's hand, sat down and said:
"Why did you run over before your body recovered?"

As affectionate as always, Yan Zhaohua responded with a smile: "The small kitchen made two snacks, and they were still hot, so I wanted to use them to make amends for my wife."

Xie's eyes moved, but he said without changing his expression:

"What apology, what did you say, I don't remember where you offended me."

Yan Zhaohua sneered in her heart, she couldn't believe that Yan Zhaoning would not come here to cry with her if he didn't take advantage of her earlier, but now Xie's acting like nothing happened, he must already have a plan.He also replied calmly:

"Where is offending my wife, if I really offend my wife, at worst, let my wife beat me twice, but I offended the third sister, the third sister is a delicate person, I feel sorry when I think about it, no, Here comes my apology. I hope that after eating my snacks, my wife can go and speak kindly to my third sister for me."

Mrs. Xie remained calm, and Yan Zhaohua only acted naively, talking to her in a roundabout way. Anyone with a discerning eye would know that Yan Zhaohua was here to complain, not to apologize. If you really want to apologize, you can go directly to Xili Garden with your things. That's all right, why did you come to see Mrs. Xie?

"Hahaha, oh, my eldest lady has also grown up and knows how to coax people. Zhaoning has such a hot temper, she can't change it no matter what, it's because she is ignorant, and she should apologize if she wants to apologize. let you run."

Mrs. Xie pinched Yan Zhaohua's hand and patted it. The relationship between the two seemed to be much closer. Yan Zhaohua also coquettishly talked with her about the pain of the past few days. Mrs. Xie listened in a perfunctory manner. After listening to a few words, I heard a message from the woman outside, saying that the concierge is back, Lord Hou is back, and is coming to the main courtyard.

After the mother-in-law finished replying, Changning Hou Yanxiu had already opened the curtain and entered.

Mrs. Xie hurriedly stood up and went forward, her posture and appearance did not look like an old couple for more than ten years. Mrs. Xie always maintained her appearance and figure, no matter how many people came in and out of the house, it could be said that Xiu treated her well. There is still a lot of affection, and she always spends most of the time in her room every month.

Yan Xiu is a civil servant in his early forties. He has been a prince for five generations and has never been demoted. It can be seen that the Marquis of Changning is in the heart of the emperor. Yan Xiu himself looks elegant, gentle and well-maintained. The style of the Jin and Wei dynasties, the unrestrained and suave demeanor of a scholar, the narrow and long phoenix eyes, and the slightly mature mustache made him a little more attractive as a middle-aged man.

Mrs. Xie stepped forward to take the official cap from Yan Xiu's hand, and put it aside personally. When Yan Xiu saw that Yan Zhaohua was there, he rubbed his hands to drive away the cold, and walked over to wait for Yan Zhaohua to salute, before he helped him up with a smile. and said to her:
"In such a cold day, if you don't take a good rest and come here to do something, this disease is just right."

Compared with being harsh to his son Yan Ruiqian, Yan Xiu is more affectionate towards other children. On weekdays, he entrusts Mrs. Xie to take care of everything in the mansion, and it is also because Mrs. Xie treats her children seriously. Seeing her own father, I felt mixed feelings in my heart. I have to say that she was able to live safely to the age of thirteen or fourteen in the hands of Mrs. Xie. The father Yan Xiu contributed a lot. Because he had a high opinion of his children, Mrs. Xie could not and did not dare She openly treats her and brother Qian badly. If that is the case, the Xie family will not be able to establish a foothold in the Yan family. However, it is just these few years. He and Yan Ruiqian made a move, because two years later, Yan Xiu will turn from civil to military, and leave the capital to lead troops in the northwest to serve as a supervisor. It was then that Xie's true face began to be revealed.

Yan Zhaohua helped Yan Xiu's hand to stand up, the long-lost warmth moved his heart and lungs, and he helped Yan Xiu to sit down himself, but Yan Xiu was surprised, and joked: "Hey, what kind of wind is blowing today? , let your wild nature be put away?"

"What did father say? I'm not wild. Could it be that my wife sued me like this in front of you?" Mrs. Xie finished putting off her official hat, and when she came over, she heard Yan Zhaohua say this, and stretched out her hand to pinch the words Zhao Hua's cheeks, Yan Xiu was also happy to see them so harmonious.

Looking around, he said: "Those who came to eat and drink, stood outside the Qinzheng Hall for a long time today, and their bodies were almost numb from the cold."

Before Mrs. Xie could speak, Yan Zhaohua said, "I just brought some horseshoe cakes, chestnut cakes, and a jar of ginger tea on the copper stove. Father, do you want to eat some?"

Hearing that there was hot ginger tea to drink, Yan Xiu immediately nodded and let it be served, only to see that Xie's face changed slightly, but he quickly concealed it.

Yan Zhaohua beckoned to Hongqu, and Hongqu came over with things in his hands, and according to Yan Zhaohua's instructions, he put the jade tray on the table. He moved, looked at Yan Zhaohua, and said:
"This is the utensil you chose? You have a good eye. Come, use this unicorn beast's bowl to serve me a bowl of ginger tea."

Yan Zhaohua made a gesture to Hongqu, and Hongqu was pouring tea and snacks on the side in an orderly manner. Hongqu was born fair, and when he held a red unicorn beast bowl on his finger, he looked very gentle. Noticing the existence of this maid, it wasn't until she took the tea bowl from her hand that she realized that the maid was pretty good and pretty. After taking a sip of ginger tea, she looked up at her. Young and energetic, such an unripe body is the most compact and seductive, so I can't help but take a second look.

Hongqu also noticed Yan Xiu's gaze, blushing like something, and her heart was pounding.

Of course, this scene was also seen by Yan Zhaohua and Mrs. Xie on the side. Yan Zhaohua had an imperceptible sneer on the corner of his mouth, while Mrs. Xie's face turned completely livid.

Seeing Xie's face change, Yan Zhaohua knew that the nail of Hongqu had been driven into Xie's heart.Don't blame others, if you want to blame, blame Yanxiu for being too coquettish, although it is not obscene, but if it just makes Xie suspicious, this level is enough.

Since Mrs. Xie wants to place a nail beside her, she must let the nail play its best role, right?
