Chapter 72
On the path leading to the West Wing, Zhao's family was led by the maid to settle down. Their hearts were filled with unconcealable excitement. If they didn't have such a wealthy relative, how could they live in such a good house in this life? !
The ground is paved with bluestone slabs, the high-quality furniture is made of mahogany, and the air is filled with bursts of refreshing incense.
Li Qiuxia looked around at the room prepared for her by the Xiao Mansion, thinking that the rough and tattered clothes she was wearing were really inappropriate, she thought of pointing her fingers, and ordered the maidservants next to her: "Go and bring me some clothes."
The maid who was pointed at was stunned for a moment, and it took a while to react.
"Miss Biao... what kind of clothes do you want?"
Just as she was about to say to take a few of them at will, Li Qiuxia swallowed her words, thinking that she saw the clothes on Xiao Ruan just now, her eyes flashed.
"I saw that the clothes on your lady's body are not bad, so I just made them out of that fabric."
The maid couldn't help but sneered, and looked at the two maids who were also snickering at each other, and said: "Miss Biao, the cloth on our lady's body is not ordinary cloth, it is the lake brocade bestowed by the royal family." , most people can't ask for money even if they have money, no wonder you didn't see it, and only the families of important officials in the court can find a few horses."
Li Qiuxia blushed a lot but didn't want to be looked down upon by the servant girls, so she could only slap her swollen face and pretend to be fat:
"Who said I didn't see it? It was precisely because I knew it was Hu Jin that I asked you to bring it to me."
As she spoke, Li Qiuxia walked over and sat at the table, holding a glass of water to cover up her guilty conscience.
The maidservants said nothing, looked at each other a few times and still didn't move.After drinking a glass of water, Li Qiuxia saw that they were still standing here, and put down the glass anxiously:
"Did you ignore my words? I am the cousin and grandnephew of the old lady of the Xiao family. You will feel better if I neglect you!"
Seeing that Li Qiuxia was going crazy, the maids couldn't help but keep silent, so they went up and said:
"Miss Biao, don't embarrass the servants, let alone you, even our Aunt Gu can't wear Hujin, why don't the servants get you some clothes that fit you."
Once she got down the steps, Li Qiuxia didn't force her any longer, and waved her hand to signal the servant girls to go down.
After going out the door, several maidservants who had lowered their heads and expressionlessly spit on the ground in disgust.
"Bah, it's just a poor relative who came to join our old lady, and he really regards himself as his master!"
"That's right, look at her, she's a bumpkin, and she still wants to compare with our eldest lady, what a big joke!"
"These days, the most indispensable thing is a pheasant that wants to become a phoenix. A pheasant who comes to eat and live is ashamed to ask for this or that. Let's go, let's go find clothes for this cousin!"
These servants already like to gossip, now that they have met Li Qiuxia who is so good, they will not let go of the opportunity to complain, but they did not expect that Li Qiuxia is lying on the door to listen to the words clearly .
Anger floated on Li Qiuxia's face, making her pure and innocent look a little more serious. She clenched her fists and remembered Xiao Ruan's almost perfect appearance, and the fire of jealousy was quietly burning.Why do they look down on her!She, Xiao Ruan, was able to stand high, but she wanted to step her into the mud.
Thinking of the splendor of the mansion, she was not reconciled, not reconciled!
"Don't worry, I'll show you how I developed!"
At the edge of the pond in the backyard, Xiao Ruan was feeding the fish while chatting with Forsythia.
"Miss, you can see that Tuantuan has gained weight recently, and it really is the most comfortable to stay by Miss's side."
When the topic came to this little cute pet, Xiao Ruan put down the fish food and clapped his hands, picked up the little furry guy, walked to the pavilion and sat down.
"It's really gaining weight, I can hardly hold it anymore."
Seeing that her young lady finally showed a smile, Lianqiao cautiously opened her mouth and said:
"Miss, General Huo Gongzi came over again in the morning. He still has a lot of things in his hands. He must have been preparing to give them to you again. The servant obeyed your order and refused."
Hearing Lianqiao mentioned Huo Xun, Xiao Ruan shunned Mao's hand and replied in a casual manner:
"Well, well done."
"Miss..., if it continues like this, will it..."
Forsythia is really worried, Miss does not give General Huo face like this, if General Huo is unhappy, won't Miss suffer when she gets married in the future.
Xiao Ruan raised her head and glanced at her. Looking at the girl who hesitated to speak, she couldn't help laughing. She hadn't married into the Huo family yet. If she married in the future, her maid would have to help her every day. With Huo Xun.
This girl is a caring master.
"Okay, let's go back. Don't worry, my grandfather knows what kind of character he is, and he will never push me into the fire pit. Even if he is really dissatisfied, I have a reason to stand up. I and He is not yet married, so accepting the gift like this will inevitably fall into the limelight."
Saying that, Xiao Ruan didn't give Lian Qiao another chance to speak, got up and walked away holding Tuan Tuan.
Besides, some people still have to learn a long lesson.
In the blink of an eye, it was the Women's Day, and Xiao Ruan held a chrysanthemum appreciation banquet at home according to Mrs. Xiao's arrangement.Although Xiao's family is not one of the best big families in the capital, after all, they are still supported by Lu's family behind them, so everyone who posted Xiao Ruan's posts came here.
Today Xiao Ruan was wearing a light yellow double-breasted skirt, with a double bun, and two pink pearls on each side, looking delicate and dignified.
She greeted visitors non-stop in the hall, and she was tired and sweaty after a while.
Xiao Ying who was not far away looked at it, came over and sneered softly: "Sister is really desperate, is she exhausted trying to please these ladies?"
As she spoke, Xiao Ying took out a handkerchief from her sleeve and wiped the sweat from Xiao Ruan's forehead, showing a fierce expression from an angle that outsiders could not see.
"Xiao Ruan, your appearance is really disgusting!"
Xiao Ruan seemed to have encountered something dirty, frowned and backed away a little, smiled and said:
"Sister really likes to tell jokes. Could it be that she didn't look in the mirror when she went out in the morning? You look more disgusting than my sister."
Xiao Ruan's complexion changed, and he was worried that others would see him, so he took a deep breath to calm down his anger.
"Hmph, what's the use of being quick with words, Xiao Ruan, let's wait and see! Do you think you can please these people after all your busy schedule? It's just a dream!"
After finishing speaking, Xiao Ying threw the handkerchief in her hand to the ground and stepped on it, gave Xiao Ruan a provocative look and left.
Since her rebirth, Xiao Ruan has already figured out Xiao Ying, a woman who knows nothing but being cruel.So at the moment she didn't think much about it, being left is just a clown, if this little thing can't be handled well, how can she treat herself who died tragically in the previous life?
The mother and daughter of the Zhao family in the corner saw this scene in their eyes, but they didn't care about the Xiao family's infighting, what they cared about was whether they could get benefits.
They couldn't help but looked at each other.The two sisters of the Xiao family have a bad relationship, so they can find their own benefits from it.
Everyone was drinking tea and chatting, when the servant outside the door came to report that Princess Jingnan had arrived.
"Mother, how could Xiao Ruan, a bitch, even invite the princess over!"
Xiao Ying knelt beside Gu's, lowered her voice and asked.
Gu Shi glanced at Xiao Ruan, her tone full of jealousy.
"Hmph, it's not because of writing about her ancestral home. Without the Lu family, she, Xiao Ruan, wouldn't even be a fart!"
The upright Gu family never imagined that without the support of the Lu family for so many years, Xiao Hong would not be able to make it to where he is today.
While speaking, Princess Jingnan had already smiled and signaled everyone to calm down.
"Today is the banquet hosted by Miss Xiao's family, everyone is open, and there is no need to worry about so many complicated etiquette."
Xiao Ruan was the first to stand up, walked over with a smile and saluted:
"Xiao Ruan has seen the princess."
Princess Jingnan was also straightforward, she helped Xiao Ruan up, and said with a reproach:
"You girl, didn't you say that you don't have to worry about it, why are you still saluting?"
Xiao Ruan was about to speak with a smile when Gu's behind him suddenly came over.
"That's what the concubine said, but you can't lose this etiquette no matter what? Otherwise, wouldn't people say that the girls of our Xiao family have no rules?"
Mrs. Gu has never been a stable person, and she used to be unable to climb up to such a noble person as Princess Jingnan.Now that the concubine has come to the Xiao residence, she thinks that as Xiao Ruan's elder, she is qualified to entertain the concubine.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help feeling a little complacent.
Gu Shi suddenly came over and interrupted, which made Princess Jingnan feel a little unhappy. She glanced at the flattering Gu Shi, then turned her head to Xiao Ruan and said, "Ruan'er, the rules of your Xiao family are still the same as this princess. I really don't understand, could it be possible that an aunt has climbed onto the head of a daughter-in-law?"
Xiao Ruan knew in her heart that Princess Jingnan wanted to stand up for her, and she was grateful for this kindness in her heart, but said in a serious manner, "Princess Wang is joking, a little aunt, no matter how weak Ruan'er is, she won't suffer in her hands." .The Xiao family pays attention to the rules the most, and it is definitely not a matter of the aunt surpassing the daughter-in-law."
The conversation between these two people made Gu Shi feel embarrassed. Gu Shi stood aside and gritted his teeth secretly, neither advancing nor retreating. She didn't expect that this Princess Jingnan didn't appreciate it at all, and blinded herself so hard. Son please.
Ignoring Mrs. Gu, Xiao Ruanla led Princess Jingnan in and sat down, and poured tea for her herself.
According to Mrs. Xiao's wishes, most of the guests at this banquet are wives and ladies from famous noble families. If the relationship is handled well, it will be of great benefit to his son Xiao Hong's career, so Xiao Ruan has to take it seriously. , all the arrangements at the banquet were very proper.
When Lu Heng came, Xiao Ruan was admiring the Tibetan paintings with several young ladies. Hearing the girl's bluffing, Xiao Ruan knew that such quiet activities could not go on, so she had to order someone to put away the paintings.
"Heng'er is here?"
Glancing at Lu Zhishao and Huo Yixuan behind Lu Heng, Xiao Ruan didn't seem to see it, but Xiao Ying next to her spoke.
